The strange woman who plays power: the fourth lady who plays power

After walking for a while, I came to a brightly lit place with gorgeous decorations, thick carpets, refined wooden furniture, and the wall paintings on the walls. exist.

In the high hall, sat a middle-aged couple. The man had gray hair and kind eyes. The woman's face was well maintained and her charm was still there, but she was frowning and looked haggard. It seemed that something unsatisfactory had happened recently. .

"Master Hu, Mrs. Hu, we are from Luoyao City. We passed through Baodi and stayed for one night. My name is Fu Yaxuan, and this is my husband Cui Moyao. These two are Han Gao and Lu Qiuhong. They are ours. housekeeper."

Fu Yaxuan introduced them one by one, using their real names. She believed that in this small place, where the sky was high and the emperor was far away, no one would know what the emperor looked like, and naturally no one would recognize them.

She suffered a loss last time, but this time she learned to be smart. Her man is so handsome and attractive. To avoid being mistakenly recruited as her son-in-law, she first announced that Cui Moyao belonged to Fu Yaxuan.

"Are you from the capital? The old man and I have never been to such a far place in our entire lives." The old lady smiled slightly, but her voice was very hoarse, and her brows were still furrowed, as if she was preoccupied.

As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on her face stopped, her eyes froze, and her thoughts seemed to have drifted into the distance.

"The capital city is very interesting, you must go if you have the chance." Fu Yaxuan really wanted to make her happy.

The old man next to him smiled slightly and said, "Girl, you see we are so old that we can't walk."

"Master Hu, how old are you this year?" Fu Yaxuan's voice was sweet and gentle.

"I am forty today, and my wife is also 38." Master Hu sighed and felt helpless in his tone.

"It's only forty, and Mrs. Hu is even more so. I can't even see that she is 38, at most thirty. If a person's life is a hundred years old, then you are still young now." When I met two kind-hearted A middle-aged man, Fu Yaxuan talked eloquently.

"Girl, your little mouth is really good at talking. We have not seen such a cute girl for a long time. I really hope you can chat with us more." Mrs. Hu's eyes narrowed into crescents with a smile. The same is true for crow's feet.

"Thanks to Mrs. Hu for not disliking me, of course I am happy."

"Then you stay here for a few more days. Hu Zhong, prepare a guest room for the guests." Mrs. Hu happily ordered.

After a while, the maid served tea.

Fu Yaxuan and the others drank tea and thanked each other again and again, the host and guest chatted happily.

At this time, a delicate voice suddenly shouted from afar: "Father, Aunt, why did you return Wang Qi's mortgage deed to him?"

Immediately afterwards, a girl in pink clothes floated in like a flowing cloud. She was twenty-eight years old, her face was rosy with rouge, and her eyes were as bright as stars.

All eyes were on the girl in pink, and Fu Yaxuan's eyes flickered. This girl should be Master Hu's daughter.

The girl also saw them, glanced at the crowd with disdain, and said with a sullen face, "Father, who are they?"

"Hi, Ms. Hu, we are passing guests." Fu Yaxuan said modestly and politely.

The girl didn't look at Fu Yaxuan either, she just stomped her feet coquettishly and scolded: "Father, Aunt, you are taking in strangers indiscriminately again, there are many bad people outside, you have to be careful. I hope I won't see them again tomorrow. "

The girl coldly dropped a word, turned around and ran out. Fu Yaxuan couldn't help being stunned when she saw the hem of her long skirt that reached the floor.

This beautiful girl turned out to be a cripple from birth.Such meticulousness, only Fu Yaxuan noticed with his keen intuition, others usually only look at this girl's delicate dimple that is as beautiful as a spring flower.

Master Hu's face suddenly sank, and he said with embarrassment: "Miss Fu, Mr. Cui, don't mind, my daughter is used to being unruly and self-willed."

Fu Yaxuan rubbed his forehead and smiled: "Ling Qianjin's words are not unreasonable, and you must be on guard against others."

Mr. Hu swept away the gloom on his face, and said with a cheerful smile: "When my old man looks at you, he knows that you are a good person."

This made Fu Yaxuan amused, unexpectedly this old man could really speak, Fu Yaxuan said with a smile: "Mr. Hu is over the top. Although we are not very good people, we are not bad people either."

Mrs. Hu said tactfully: "You don't have to take Tao'er's words to heart, she often speaks like this."

"Of course not. It's good for young people to be straightforward." Fu Yaxuan looked around and asked again: "Master Hu and Mrs. Hu look very blessed, how many children do you have?"

This question made Master Hu and Mrs. Hu's faces suddenly darken, and the hall fell silent.

Fu Yaxuan reflected on herself, did she say something wrong?But after much deliberation, she couldn't think of a reason.

After being silent for a while, Master Hu smiled lightly and said, "It's getting late, Hu Zhong, take the guests to rest."

"Thank you Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Hu, good night both of you." Fu Yaxuan said good night politely.

……

The four of them were led by Hu Zhong to the guest room, the winding corridor was quiet, no one could be seen, the silver moon was shining softly, and the blue lanterns dotted the yard, like a dream.

The gusts of evening wind blowing are even more comfortable and intoxicating.

They were taken to a guest room. As soon as the door was opened, a lamp was hung in the room, a few simple pieces of furniture, an ordinary guest room that couldn't be more ordinary.

Hu Zhong looked around, then entered the room, beckoned to them and whispered: "Come in, come in quickly."

The four of them were dragged into the house by him, and they all had doubts in their hearts, wondering why he would be so sneaky, as if he was going to do something shady.

Hu Zhong looked serious and said solemnly: "You four, if you live here, you must have no evil thoughts, keep your six senses quiet, close the door and turn off the lights at night to sleep, cover your ears no matter what you hear, and don't worry about what happens outside. go out."

Fu Yaxuan blinked and asked, "Why?"

Hu Zhong said again: "Also, you have to remember, don't ask why casually? Don't ask anything, just do your part."

The four looked at each other, thinking about what he meant.

Hu Zhong said loudly: "Do you understand everything?"

"Understood." Fu Yaxuan nodded, seeming to understand.

The others nodded their heads one after another, their faces still full of doubts.

"Okay, this row is all guest rooms, everything has been tidied up, you can stay at ease. Remember to close the door, turn off the lights, and go to bed early." After Hu Zhong instructed, he left.

Fu Yaxuan stood there blankly, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Cui Moyao hugged her slender waist from behind, with a gentle and lingering voice.

His words pulled Fu Yaxuan back, only to find that there were only two people left in the room, and asked in surprise, "Where are Qiu Hong and Manager Han?"

"Go to bed. Let's go to bed early too." Cui Moyao suddenly picked her up and walked towards the bed.

"En." She responded lightly, leaning gently into his arms like water.
