"Miss... do you want the kitchen to add two more dishes?"
"I heard from the master that Zhuang Yi is surrounded by two powerful generals. If that is the case, of course this banquet cannot neglect the people around our uncle Huang..."
"Old Wei, what are you talking about? Master Yi has never been married, how can he call someone uncle at will?"
A woman's angry voice came from the room. Old Wei shrugged his shoulders and looked at each other with a smile.
"Miss, please don't be shy. I remember that the master said it himself before. At that time, Master Yi was having a verbal battle with other family heads. But he was in this empty place, so he asked the master alone to ask the miss about your current situation..."
"Old Wei, I don't have many wishes in my life. As long as the young lady can find a husband who is right to her, love her and have a few fat boys, we can die in peace!"
"Hey...I won't tell you anymore..."
Huang Yueying's voice is as gentle as a warbler. Even if she is angry, she will not make anyone feel scared. Moreover... among the big family members in the Huang family, who doesn't treat Huang Yueying as one of their own?
This actually corresponds to a saying from later generations: Even if they have to be enemies with the whole world, the people of the Huang family will always stand behind Huang Yueying.
And...just listening to this voice, who could imagine Huang Yueying as an ugly monster with yellow hair and black skin?
This is really strange...
After Old Wei's teasing, he stood outside the door and busied himself.
The words may be ridiculing, but Old Wei's ability to continue working in the Huang Mansion is due to his excellent skills.
Lao Wei, who was extremely reliable in his work, had been with Huang Chengyan for twenty or thirty years.
If Huang Chengyan only regards Huang Yueying as his precious daughter, then after Old Wei's daughter got married far away, he also treated Huang Yueying as his own niece.
Regardless of the fact that the Huang family has never been open to visitors in Xiangyang City, this is probably because Huang Chengyan did not want to take those crooked ways when handling the family's business.
If others say that he behaves well and sits upright, they will probably be talked about by the people in Xiangyang City... But if Huang Chengyan, the old man, says that he never does those sneaky things, no one will believe it - and therefore, Huang Chengyan
This kind of famous person who does not join the same trend as other aristocratic families has long been called a sour scholar by everyone.
In this era where everyone is wading through muddy waters, if a clear lotus suddenly appears, most likely, the clear lotus will be defiled as something dirty.
It's just that Huang Chengyan himself has a weird temper and doesn't care about these things.
The only thing he cares about is his daughter. Now she is twenty-eight years old, but still no one comes to marry her... No matter how fancy his words are about Huang Yueying, the yellow hair and black skin are enough to scare away many good husbands in the city.
And the culprit behind all this is Huang Chengyan himself——
Because... Huang Chengyan doesn't think his daughter is ugly, but he thinks that his daughter is as beautiful as a fairy. He often talks about Huang Yueying's yellow hair and black skin——
But this matter, in the ears of others, has no ordinary meaning...
Yellow hair?
Black leather?
What kind of monster is this?
These days, people from Xiangyang and even Jingzhou who have never seen such a description of a woman have all kinds of unrealistic fantasies about Huang Yueying in Huang Chengyan's mouth.
Huang Yueying, who is hiding in her boudoir, is inherently introverted. When she was young and went out, whenever she covered her face with gauze, others thought it was because Huang Yueying did not dare to show her ugliness in front of outsiders.
…Public opinion is the most dangerous thing…at any time…
When princes were fighting in various places, a man named Yi Xiaotian took this sentence to its extreme. In military affairs, public opinion can be used to kill the enemy, let alone ordinary times.
Huang Yueying was deeply affected by this, and over time, Huang Yueying did not want to go out anymore... Firstly, she did not want to listen to those hurtful rumors, and secondly, during this period, Huang Yueying became obsessed with some strange hobbies...
——
Time is pulled back to the present.
If we had followed the normal arrangement, Huang Chengyan would have already rushed back while Old Wei was sitting here finishing the work.
It's just that... it was extremely quiet outside the house today. There were no vegetable vendors, no salesmen... and there was no sound of children playing... Slowly, Old Wei suddenly felt something strange.
"It's time for the master to come back, right?"
He muttered, put down what he was doing, said hello to everyone, then walked around the courtyard and went to the gate to investigate the situation.
Unexpectedly, he had just crossed the screen and arrived in front of the courtyard wall. The concierge who came to greet him was still smiling, but he fell to the ground the next moment...
Old Wei's eyes were about to burst. When the concierge fell to the ground, he made a series of muffled sounds, which were clearly the sounds of weapons entering flesh!
He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up the young concierge who fell to the ground, but saw a bloody scene behind him - it was darts. Several darts that penetrated into the flesh and blood were inserted directly into the concierge's back.
He was dying, but he was muttering:
"Quickly...go and protect the young lady...go inform the master...Old Wei...I...I'm afraid..."
"What are you talking about! Hold on tight! Don't close your eyes!"
Old Wei cursed loudly, but actually he wanted to cheer up the concierge...
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred——
On the old tree outside the door, the man in black, who had already aimed at Old Wei's body, looked at the two people who were moving slowly with a smile:
"After I take the lives of these two people, you break in through the door!"
Under the tree, a group of men in black clothes hidden in the shadows seemed to be ready to kill... The bright butcher knives in their hands were the best proof.
The man in black on the tree was obviously a master of darts. He was playing with the two dart blades with red ripples quite easily. He kept doing it. Seeing that Old Wei seemed to have some difficulty in moving, he caught this moment at a glance.
A fleeting opportunity.
The master of the man in black jumped up, and the dart blade in his hand had always been used to kill people invisible. He shot as fast as the wind, and while he kicked on the wall of the courtyard, his right arm shook several times——
Stab...
"cough…"
The imagined escort did not appear. The man in black was as stiff as a wooden stake, standing in mid-air...
Yes... He had clearly just stepped onto the towering courtyard wall, but his whole body was hanging in mid-air——
No reason...just because a bamboo spear with an extremely sharp tip and as thick as a spear directly penetrated the body of the man in black.
He vomited blood in his mouth and kept his right arm in the same position as before, but the two darts in his hand could no longer be thrown out.
He looked at the bamboo spear that had sunk into his chest in disbelief, and in the most unwilling voice, he stumbled and shouted:
"There is... there is a trap... enter from... from the gate..."
After shouting this sentence, he died.
This scene stunned all the dead soldiers of the Du family... Yes, they thought that when they came here, it would be a massacre. They did not even think that anyone would be injured, but before they broke into the Huang Mansion,
, he was the first to lose one of his companions...
Resentment and shame drove everyone's murderous intent. They didn't think much about it. After hearing the last words of their companions, they directly planned to enter through the door... However...
Boo hoo hoo——
As if some mechanism had been triggered, crossbow arrows like pear blossoms poured out from the front door of the Huang Mansion.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
The screams one after another made the people who were huddled in their homes completely unable to imagine what kind of brutal massacre was happening outside——
