Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 63

In the side courtyard, four people gathered around a charcoal fire, and each of them had a big lamb chop, and their mouths were full of oil.

The sky is full of stars, a pile of bonfires, and a quiet small courtyard. After returning from calamity, the four families are together.

Even if you don't eat grilled lamb chops, a bowl of simple tea and light rice is excellent.

Liu Yunxiang wiped Xiao Wu's mouth with a handkerchief, and asked her how she was doing in Lanyuan.

Xiao Wu nodded, "Sister Mujin taught me to read, other sisters also like me, and..."

"Who else?"

Xiao Wu blushed, and whispered: "There is also a very good-looking brother, he said that I will definitely be a beauty when I grow up."

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, "I'll call him uncle when we see him later."

"But I think he is as old as the second brother."

"Anyway, when I meet Uncle, what else did he tell you?"

"Oh, he also told me about San Niang."

"Tell me what?"

Xiao Wu scratched his head, looking confused, "He said Sanniang was disobedient and always wanted to run out of the cage."

Liu Yunxiang patted the table, this bastard really thought she was a canary!
The four of them were satisfied, and at night Liu Yunxiang asked Xiao Wu to sleep with her.

I slept until midnight when I heard movement outside.

She put on her outer clothes and got up, and Jinyan also came out from the east wing.

Under the night, Zijin was leaning against the pillar in front of the door, basking in the moon, eating a piece of jerky in his hand.

Jin Yan smiled, "This girl is very proud, not to mention the official lady, even the concubines and princesses in the palace have to envy her."

Having a full stomach and eating jerky as a snack is not a blessing that money can buy.

Seeing them coming back, Zijin stood up, smiled like a little fox, pulled them together, and then pointed to the high wall.

Liu Yunxiang looked over and couldn't help being taken aback.

By the bright moonlight, she saw three figures sitting there on the top of the wall.

"Oh, this is a thief!" Jin Yan was startled.

"Third Madam, you are an old slave!" The person on the wall shouted loudly.

Jinyan snorted, "Why does this voice sound so familiar?"

Liu Yunxiang and Jinyan took a few steps forward, and after taking a closer look, the ones sitting on the wall were the butler and the two guards.

"What... what's going on?" Jinyan asked Zijin.

"Last night they set up ladders to steal things, I waited for them to climb to the top of the wall, and then moved the ladder away." Zijin said.

Jinyan rolled her eyes, "I guess I could smell the fragrance, but the majestic Hou's mansion actually raised thieves, it's really eye-opening!"

The wall was very high, and the butler lay tightly on it, not daring to move at all.

"Third Madam, this little girl is so unreasonable that she hid our ladder. It is a special high ladder, and there is only one in the house. Please ask this little girl to bring our ladder up, and give her a good lesson. !"

Liu Yunxiang laughed and said, "Butler Li, I want to ask you, what are you doing climbing the wall in front of my yard in the middle of the night?"

"I……"

"As long as you can tell me a reason, I will ask Zijin to return the ladder to you."

Butler Li couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth several times, and finally he could only say: "Third Madam, you should give this old slave some face, okay?"

"Old butler, you didn't give me face when you climbed the wall!"

"This old lady..."

"Hey, didn't your mother instigate you to climb the wall?"

"No no no!"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Then you stay up there."

The next morning, Jinyan boiled rice porridge and served it with cold salad.There was one lamb chop left last night, so she made lamb chop soup for Liu Yunxiang.

Butler Li and the three still couldn't get off the wall, they could only watch them eat hungry.

At noon, a long ladder was borrowed over there, and the three of them finally went down.

In the next two days, the smoke from the cooking here will rise, and the three meals a day will be changed to one meal a day there.

It stands to reason that a family like the Hou's Mansion should have some food in reserve, so as not to be in such a state of despair.But the Hou Mansion has long been an empty shelf, and the Xue family has no ability to manage the house, so he is afraid of paying the money by himself, so he simply let go of it.Therefore, in just a few days, the Hou Mansion could no longer hold on.

In her last life, when she was in the palm of her hand, the situation was much better than now, no servants were sent back, no one died of starvation.

On the third day, there was another movement from Gao Qiang's side. This time there was a loud noise, and a hole was dug out in a short while.

Liu Yunxiang walked over, tilted his head to look over the cave, and saw Mrs. Xue standing there with the fourth girl Xie Wenqing.

"Third brother and sister, second sister-in-law sees that your face is ruddy, have you eaten well these few days?" Mrs. Xue greeted Liu Yunxiang with a smile on her face.

Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue, "Second sister-in-law is sallow and emaciated, can't she be full?"

"This……"

Xie Wenqing tugged Xue's sleeve and asked her to look into the courtyard.

Under the grape arbor in the courtyard, Xiao Wu was lying on a square table practicing calligraphy, with a stack of shredded meat cakes made by Jinyan beside him.

Looking at the plate of dim sum, Xie Wenqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Mrs. Xue also looked at it secretly, this little Wu's face was plump, Jinyan's maid was also fat and white, it was obvious that the whole Hou Mansion was starving, and the people in Liu Yunxiang's side courtyard were well fed.

She smiled and said: "Mother said that this wall is too high and separates the affection of the family. Let me bring someone to open the door. Everyone should move around frequently, otherwise there will be divisions."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "What mother said is true."

"Oh, your courtyard is nice..."

"But before you press the door, it looks like a dog's hole."

That Mrs. Xue just bent down and wanted to sneak in, when she heard this, it was really a step forward or a step back.

"The third sibling really likes to joke."

"The door should be opened wider, otherwise only dogs can get in."

With this sentence, Xue could only retreat back with a cold face.

This Xie Wenqing is still young, so she didn't care about those faces, and said directly to Liu Yunxiang: "Sanniang, I also want to eat shredded pork pie."
