Chapter 726 I Want to Do Business with You

Yin Lechen reported: "The man is about the same height as Awang. He looks to be around 20 years old. He is wearing a sword and a straw hat on his head. His face cannot be seen clearly."

"But he is wearing a pair of black boots with special patterns on them. I seem to have seen them somewhere before."

The picture flashed in his mind, and Yin Le suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I remembered that at Yunlai Inn before we entered the capital, the guards that my uncle sent money to wore black boots like this."

Okay, no need to guess.

"It's the Black Cavalry." Qin Yao and Awang said in unison.

Qin Yao muttered in confusion: "What are they here for?"

Nobody knows. Awang asked in a low voice: "Are you going to give them a warning?"

Yin Le has already put her hands on the thick belt filled with darts around her waist. As long as Qin Yao gives an order, she can rush out immediately.

"Don't be nervous." Qin Yao looked amused and signaled her to relax, "If he had hidden bad intentions, he would have taken action long ago."

Looking at the distance between the person outside and her home, it was far enough to see people coming and going at the door. There was a high wall in the courtyard, so nothing could be seen.

Rather than monitoring, it's more like they are testing.

"It's okay, just rest and go, whatever is coming will come by itself." Qin Yao glanced at Awang with a pointed look.

Awang paused for a moment, then realized after a moment that this meant telling him not to guard the door tonight.

He nodded, disappeared in front of Qin Yao, and went to feed the horse.

Yin Le looked at his master and then at the direction in which Awang was leaving. He was confused. What kind of riddle were these two playing?

But it doesn't matter, Master must have her reasons for not telling her.

Yin Le immediately relaxed and asked, "Master, do you still want to eat melon?"

Qin Yao smiled and nodded heavily, "Of course I want to eat."

"Then I'll go get the melon, cut it into pieces, and carry it over to Si Niang and the others. Alas, the masters in this Kyoto school are so strict. I think this will make Saburo worried."

Yin Le went to the well in the backyard, used a wooden bucket to fish out the watermelon that was frozen in the well, and moved it to the kitchen island to cut it. A cool and refreshing fragrance hit her nostrils, and the greedy smell soon spread in the courtyard. spread in.

A little head poked out from under the moon door, "Senior Sister Le, have you cut the melon?"

Yin Le knew who was coming without having to raise his head. He cut out a piece of thick melon pulp and waved secretly.

Sanlang's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over, took the piece of bright red watermelon, which was bigger than half his face, and bit into the sweetest and crispest part in the middle. The full sweet juice flowed down the child's mouth. His lower front teeth were dripping down.

"Oops!" I forgot that my lower front tooth fell out last night.

Sanlang was annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't bear to stop, letting the juice flow all over his front. After he finished showing off a piece of big watermelon, he told Yin Le to please: "Senior Sister Le, this is our secret, don't tell the third person. "

He sneaked away again.

If it weren't for the extra piece of crisp green melon rind in the basin, who would have known he had been here.

The corners of Yin Le's mouth turned up, thinking that this gluttonous child was very happy. He shook his head fondly, picked up the sliced ​​watermelon pulp, and first sent one to the front hall for the master who was enjoying the cool weather in the moonlight, and then gave one to the children in the backyard. share.

For a time, the whole courtyard was filled with the fragrance of melon.

Old Mrs. Qiu lay on the ground under the wall of her house and sniffed it. It was so fragrant that she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Does Mrs. Qin have more money than she can use up? These courgettes are not cheap. The fragrance of melons comes here every day for a whole month. It's really tempting."

The old lady murmured with envy, and couldn't help but take a few more sniffs of the melon fragrance wafting from next door, before driving her playful grandchildren back to the house to rest.

Candlelight is expensive, and they are just ordinary people. They can't imitate the bright lights in the courtyard next door all night long.

When the time comes, the whole family is not allowed to light any more lamps.

The Qiu family yard became dark.

In Kuanzhengfang, this seems to be a signal, reminding people to close the door, turn off the lights and go to bed.

The light in each room dimmed, and Qin Yao's family, with the lights still on, looked so out of place.

The people hiding in the dark are a little anxious. Isn’t this whole family sleeping?

They say that only in the dark is the best way to sneak in, but this courtyard is bright and bright, and you are afraid that you will be discovered as soon as you reveal a piece of clothing.

Just wait, people have to sleep.

But after waiting and waiting, the lights in the courtyard showed no sign of going out.

In this regard, Qin Yao, who was sitting in the main hall holding a painting book and reading with gusto, said: Siniang is afraid of the dark, Sanlang has to get up at night, and Erlang has to work overtime and study. And in the second half of the night, Yin Le and Dalang still had to practice martial arts in the morning, and Liu Ji got up early and studied hard. There was no need to turn off the lights in this house!

Besides, she still had to stay up late reading picture books.

This Kyoto painter really has something special. The villains in the paintings are cute and interesting, and the stories are also very competitive, making people more and more energetic.

sleep?

It was impossible to sleep!

"Bang bang" sounded several times, and the watchman walked past the door, reminding people that it was already midnight.

Qin Yao yawned, finished reading the last page of the little figure painting, closed the book, got up and came to the courtyard, stretching hard.

Everyone in the family was lying down, but she was the only one still standing.

The cool night wind blew, caressing several fragrant flowers. The air was sweet. Qin Yao took a deep breath and finally felt a little sleepy.

She yawned and said impatiently to the air with unclear words: "Why don't you come in? If you don't come in, I will fall asleep."

Of course, it doesn't matter if you sleep or not. The point is that if she is woken up after sleeping, she will go crazy.

Someone hiding in the dark was startled by this muttering.

He thought he was hiding well, but he didn't expect to be discovered long ago.

But then he thought about it and found out that it was Qin Yao who discovered him, and everything became reasonable again.

Perhaps he knew what the scene would be like when she got angry. "Hula" a loud wind swept over the courtyard, and a black shadow fell from the sky and landed gently behind Qin Yao.

Qin Yao didn't look back, her eyes looked at the long oblique shadow cast on the ground, and she shouted uncertainly: "Lord He?"

She was just guessing, but the person behind her hummed.

Qin Yao turned around in disbelief and looked at Bai He, who covered himself with a black cloak, and tied a face scarf on his face, revealing only a pair of big copper bell eyes with distinct black and white.

"It's really you." Qin Yao frowned unhappily. He must be up to no good to come to her door in a sneaky way.

Bai He nodded slightly, and said straight to the point with rare politeness: "I want to do business with you."

"No." Qin Yao refused.

Bai He choked and said with some dissatisfaction: "You refused before you even heard me. Don't you want to know what I want to give you?"

Qin Yao: "No." The answer was so straightforward.

"."

It seemed that the air was awkwardly stagnant for a few seconds.

Bai He took two deep breaths and continued to say: "Name a price."

Qin Yao glanced at him curiously, "I'm very expensive, have you asked?"

She was not tempted by the monthly salary of 100,000 taels offered by the princess!

Although I felt a little pain every time I thought about it later.

But it was just a little bit, really. (End of this chapter)
