Chapter 20 Night Encounter
The capital has always attached great importance to the solar term of Laba, and the Laba porridge is also made with the most attention.

Waking up early in the morning, sisters Ye Xinyi and Ye Songlan got busy.According to Aunt He's teaching, I prepared Laba porridge.

The peanuts were soaked last night.

Ginkgo and lotus seeds should be boiled.

They also prepared glutinous rice, barley, walnuts, lilies, and red dates.

Thick, boiled a large pot.

Tangy fragrance.

The shop closed early today, and the family sat around the table, drinking the bowl of thick Laba porridge, and Ye Xinyi always felt that his heart and lungs were warmed up.

Although this porridge is not as expensive as in previous years.But it is very glutinous and fragrant. In her opinion, it is better than what she drank every year before.

Perhaps because of the festival, Ye Shi'an's expression became softer.

After eating, he taught Ye Chuanbai and Ye Songlan to recognize a few characters with great interest.

Then, he smiled and said to Ye Chuanbai and Ye Xinyi, "Don't work too hard during the holidays today. Don't go to the shop to work hard at night, and rest earlier. Nothing can be done overnight. It will take a long time, a little bit of accumulation."

Ye Chuanbai blushed immediately, and Ye Xinyi was thick-skinned, but he didn't think it was a problem, so he answered "Yes", thinking to himself, it turns out that people have always known about their little tricks, but they just didn't say anything about it.

But... Ye Xinyi's eyes flickered twice. It would be good if she rested earlier today, as she could make good use of her time tonight.

It was night, with no stars and no moon, thick lead clouds, and a strong north wind. It looked as if it was going to snow.

In such weather, not to mention people, even cats and dogs are hiding.

But at this moment, the door of the Ye family's courtyard opened a crack, and a slender figure like a cat slipped out of the door without a sound, and disappeared into the deep night in a blink of an eye.Yulong Hutong is shrouded in shadows. In such a dark night, there is no human voice. The further north you go, the more so it is, and it is even more cold and terrifying.

To the north of Yulong Hutong, there are two families living there.

They are all the families who were implicated in the case of King Yong's treason a few days ago, and one of them was the former General Mingwei's Mansion.

It's just that the current General Mingwei's mansion is not the same as it used to be.The gate of the courtyard was locked, and the two lanterns at the gate had long since lost their light, and were somewhat broken, swaying in the north wind.

The tree shadows within the courtyard wall swagger like ghost shadows.

A few days ago, how many people died in General Mingwei's mansion. There was a lot of blood, and there might be evil spirits gathering. On weekdays, even walking around, let alone such a dark night where you can't see your fingers.

A slender figure lightly touched the wall, and after a few ups and downs, it easily climbed up the courtyard wall.With another hook, it slid down a nearby jujube tree like a monkey.

Within the courtyard walls, there are even more ghostly shadows, but within a month, the mansion has become dilapidated.

The visitor stood under the courtyard wall for a moment, and after a few breaths of silence, he moved again.

Even if there is no moonlight, the visitor is very familiar with this mansion. He walked around the corridor, passed the rockery, and followed the narrow path in the middle of the rockery to a courtyard.

It was a two-story embroidered building. She opened the door and went upstairs. Then, until she reached an outer wall, she counted the bricks from the left in the third row from the ground. When he counted to the seventh piece, he took out the dagger that he had prepared earlier, pried the brick loose, and took out the brick, but it was only in half.

Throwing away the brick, he reached into the empty space of half a brick, and in a blink of an eye, he found two bags.

She touched it with her hand, and then put the two bags into the skirt and packed them. Almost at the same time, she realized that something was wrong.

Turning around suddenly, he jumped out of the window.

The next moment, a figure entered through the main entrance, followed closely behind, jumped out from the open window, slid down the pillars of the small building, and followed closely behind that thin figure.

At first, he was able to catch up, but the little thief was very familiar with the mansion, so he deliberately led him around twice, and then, when he chased him to a remote courtyard wall overgrown with weeds, people , is gone.

The man looked around unwillingly, and finally confirmed that he was lost, so he turned and walked away.

After the sound of footsteps was far away, outside the courtyard wall, clinging to the wall like a gecko, he let out a sigh of relief and slid down from the wall.

But it only took a while to stop at the original place, then turned and ran into the darkness without stopping.

He galloped all the way and trotted for about half an hour before he was sure he was safe.

Different from the Yulong Hutong just now, there were already lights on the side of the road at this time, and she raised her hand to remove the black scarf covering her face.I put on this black scarf just in case, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.After running for a while, the hot air he exhaled was blown into a ring by the cold wind. It was really inconvenient to wear this thing.However, it was only removed when it was confirmed that it was safe.

Under the flickering light, her face was reflected, if it wasn't Ye Xinyi, who was it?
Naturally, she had already planned for this trip.

Although she was not treated harshly in General Mingwei's mansion, she did not live a comfortable life.

If there is no case of King Yong's treason, it's hard to say, she will be sold by the people in the house for a good price in a short time, and she will form a useful marriage for General Mingwei's house.As long as it is helpful for the promotion of her father and brother in the family, even if she is married to a eunuch, her father Gu Wenxuan will never frown.

Therefore, she had already secretly saved some valuables, and without even telling Lin Lang, she secretly hid them in the partition wall of the room.

It's just that when the house was ransacked that day, he couldn't escape, so naturally he couldn't bring his things with him.

It's good, but now there are better uses.

Holding the two bags in his hands, Ye Xinyi finally couldn't help laughing.

With the things in these two bags, the days to come will finally be easier.

However, while being happy, he still couldn't control the worries in his heart.

The reason, of course, was the person he met in General Mingwei's mansion just now.

She is very skillful and good at hiding. If it wasn't for her sharp nose and a gust of wind that made her smell the scent of incense candles left on his body, she might have missed the opportunity and would not be able to escape.

But, at such a time, who would appear in General Mingwei's mansion?

Ye Xinyi really couldn't figure it out, but he only hoped that there would be no intersection in the future.

Naturally, there will be no more intersections. She will only go to General Mingwei's mansion this time. From now on, everything about the Gu family will no longer be related to her.

She is just Ye Xinyi, a girl who was born in a small family in a market family.

In the middle of the night, the snow that had been brewing for the whole day finally fell.Blown by the north wind, it wreaked havoc in the alleys, overwhelming the sky.

In the rain cage alley, there was a faint light falling in the dark night, slowly drifting into the sealed-off General Mingwei's residence.

Under the light of the deathly wind, a face was reflected, with a full beard and a pair of bull's eyes like copper bells. If someone bumped into this scene, they would think they had bumped into a ghost, or a monster. I want to scare my soul out on the spot.
