"What do you want?" When Zhao Sining heard this, she immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and asked with fear.
Yang Sichen rolled his eyes and said,""There are spies outside the residence. The red spots on your face are too eye-catching. Ordinary cosmetics can't cover them at all. Wearing an ordinary face cloth might not be able to cover them all. Wearing a hood makes people feel abnormal. No matter how we go out, we'll be noticed. If they want to kill us, we'll definitely be the ones to die. Let's change our clothes. If a man uses his hair to cover one eye, he can still use his eye disease to hide it. It makes sense. If a woman uses her hair to cover half of her face, that's the behavior of a young lady in a brothel. On the contrary, it will make more eyes stare at you. You choose. I'll go up and get my clothes." After saying that, he climbed up the rope ladder and left the secret room, closing the bed board.
When Yang Sichen came down again, Zhao Sining revealed a determined expression. It seemed that she had already made up her mind.
Before Yang Sichen could speak, the bedroom door opened. Yang Sichen flew up and closed the bed board with his hand. He asked angrily,""Who's outside?"
Granny Zhao's cautious voice came from outside,""Young Master, it's time for lunch."
Yang Sichen said angrily," Put the food in the dining room. All of you, go out. Stop serving me. I'm very annoyed!" If any blind person dares to touch this bad luck, don't blame this Young Master for not showing any mercy and kicking him out of the residence!”
Granny Zhao had never seen Yang Sichen so angry before. Although she was at a loss, she still answered carefully,""Yes, Young Master."
After confirming that Granny Zhao had set up the food and left, Yang Sichen returned to the secret chamber and said to Zhao Sining,"Follow me to eat first. Don't make too much of a commotion. It will be troublesome if the maidservants outside notice.”
Zhao Sining nodded and followed Yang Sichen up the ladder. Curious, she followed behind Yang Sichen and kept looking around.
After entering the dining room and seeing the dishes on the table, Zhao Sining let out a small cry of surprise, but immediately covered her mouth and carefully looked around.
Yang Sichen found it funny and said in a low voice,""You can eat. I'll keep an eye on the outside for you. I'll eat after you finish. Don't eat too much. We still have to climb over the wall after dinner.”
Zhao Sining nodded, walked to the table, sat down, and began to eat.
Yang Sichen looked at her from the corner of his eyes and thought," This girl was really a peasant girl. Her eating speed was more than twice as fast as her sister's. Moreover, she didn't know any rules. She picked up her bowl and ate big mouthfuls of rice. It seemed that this pair of siblings had really been used.
Just as Yang Sichen was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the bedroom window. He hurriedly asked Zhao Sining to hide behind the screen while he swaggered into the bedroom.
After entering his bedroom, Yang Sichen saw Zi Juan sitting on the bed with a pout. "Have you brought him here?" he asked.
"That man is a stubborn donkey!" Zi Juan said angrily. When this servant arrived at Gao Sheng Inn, three masked men were chasing after him. This servant kindly helped him get rid of the three masked men and let him go with this servant. He said that this servant was in cahoots with those people. This servant took out that wooden token, but he started fighting with this servant…"
Yang Sichen frowned and interrupted Zi Juan's complaints. He asked,""Where is he?"
Zi Juan rolled his eyes and said," He was knocked unconscious by this servant and put into a sack. He hired a carriage and transported it to the back door of Xingde Tea House." Before this servant came back, she had already brought him into the private room and instructed the waiter not to let anyone in.”
Yang Sichen immediately went to the dining room and said to Zhao Sining,""Go and change your clothes immediately! Hurry!"
Zhao Sining was stunned for a moment, then nodded and immediately left the dining room.
After Zhao Sining left the dining room, Yang Sichen shouted,""Men! I'm full."
Granny Zhao and Liu Lan rushed over. Seeing Yang Sichen's gloomy face, they exchanged glances and began to quietly clear the table.
After a while, Yang Sichen said,""I need to rest in the afternoon. It's fine as long as there's a purple handkerchief serving me. You don't have to come over.”
Granny Zhao and Liu Lan were stunned. They looked at each other with a baffled expression, but in the end, they nodded in agreement.
After the two of them packed up and left, Yang Sichen returned to the bedroom. Zi Juan smiled evilly and walked towards Yang Sichen. Yang Sichen felt that it was not good to turn around and wanted to slip away. Zi Juan did not give him the chance to do so. She glided to Yang Sichen's side and pressed her hand on the Baihui acupoint on Yang Sichen's head. Yang Sichen felt his body go limp and he collapsed to the ground.
Zi Juan smiled evilly and said in a sweet voice,""Eldest Young Master, in the past, this servant served you to bathe. I didn't expect that this servant would have the fortune to serve you to change your clothes today.”
Yang Sichen glanced at Zhao Sining, who was dressed in men's clothes and standing at the side. He pleaded softly,"Can you give me some face? That girl was still watching from the side!”
Zi Juan pouted and carried Yang Sichen to the bed. She said nonchalantly,""Sister Ning might not be an outsider in the future. Perhaps she will serve Eldest Young Master with this servant! Sister Ning's illness still needed Zi Juan to think of a way to cure it. Eldest Young Master didn't keep her by his side as a servant girl. Could it be that he wanted to directly place Sister Ning in the outer residence? Even if Eldest Young Master doesn't care about your reputation, you have to think about Sister Ning.”
Zhao Sining's face turned red when she heard this. She stomped her feet and went outside.
Yang Sichen knew that Zi Juan was doing this on purpose to take revenge on him for taking advantage of her yesterday. It seemed that if he did not let her torture him enough, this matter would not end well. It seemed that he had no choice but to wear female clothes today. Yang Sichen decided to give up and asked,""You call her Sister Ning so intimately. Have you met her before?”
Zi Juan took out his clothes and shrugged.""No, but Granny Wen and Nun Quan Zhen are distant cousins. They had a good relationship when they were young. After Granny Wen entered the palace, they kept in contact with each other through letters. After Granny Wen's husband died, Nun Quan Zhen also became a monk and traveled around. That was when they broke off contact. With this relationship, how could I leave Sister Ning's illness to die?”
"Can I only wear an outer skirt?”Yang Sichen asked weakly.
Zijuan smiled evilly and said," That won't do, Eldest Young Master. You know that a woman's body is different from a man's, so the clothes she wears are naturally different. If she only wears a skirt and a small jacket, it will look out of place and it will be easy for others to see through it. Besides, Young Master, your appearance is more handsome than many young ladies. If you don't dress up well, wouldn't it be a waste of God's gift?"”
Yang Sichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he thought,'This is really shooting myself in the foot!'
Next, Zi Juan helped Yang Sichen put on a pink silk embroidered tube top, stuffed two balls of wool in front of his chest, and wrapped them with a foot-binding cloth. She then helped him put on pink gauze pants, changed into a woman's jacket pants, and put on the ivory white skirt, a light yellow jacket. Her feet were also covered with purple silk stockings, and forcefully stuffed into a pair of lake blue high-soled embroidered shoes. The embroidered shoes were about an inch smaller than Yang Sichen's feet. After he put them on, his entire foot felt like it was stuck inside, which was very uncomfortable. Then, she placed Yang Sichen in front of the dressing table with the purple silk. Her two thin eyebrows were trimmed again, and only indigo was used to draw two faint curves. She used a blue-black eyebrow pencil to draw her eyeliner, and applied snow cream and perfume powder on her face. The purple handkerchief pressed down on Yang Sichen's lips and smeared red lipstick on them. Then, the purple handkerchief smeared red lipstick on his fingers. The purple handkerchief untied his hair, smeared hair oil on it, and combed it into a double bun again. He tied it firmly with two hair ropes and wore a few pink silk flowers. He fixed it with a golden hairpin, making Yang Sichen look shy and extremely beautiful.
Yang Sichen couldn't muster up any strength, so he could only let the purple silk do as it pleased.
After a quarter of an hour, the purple handkerchief finally unsealed Yang Sichen's acupuncture point and helped him to stand up. As soon as he stood up, his skirt slid down to his feet. Yang Sichen looked down and saw a pair of golden lotuses curled up under her skirt, only revealing the tips of her shoes, like two sharp water chestnuts. Because the shoes were small and squeezed her feet, plus the wooden soles were big at the top and small at the bottom, it was difficult to control her center of gravity. She felt as if her body was hanging on a high pole, swaying and shaking. Her legs were about to fall off the purple silk.
"No! I can't walk in these shoes! "Yang Sichen said.
Zi Juan smiled wickedly." Eldest Young Master is not used to wearing these high-soled shoes for the first time. After wearing them for a long time, his gait is graceful and his figure is soft. You'll know the benefits in the future." As she spoke, she helped him walk back and forth.
Yang Sichen wore the high-soled shoes and was forced to walk by the purple silk. He felt as weak as a woman. He could only walk with small steps, trembling and suffering. He thought to himself, Fine, at this rate, I won't be able to leave the house before dark. So he smiled at Zijuan and said,""Sister Zijuan, please understand me! Big brother's feet are about the same size as your big sister Liu Lan's feet. Little sister, do you think you should borrow a pair of shoes from your big sister Liu Lan for big brother to change into? Big brother will definitely accept your kindness."
Zi Juan had enough of this and did not continue to torment Yang Sichen. He helped Yang Sichen sit on the bed and went out to look for Liu Lan.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Zhao Sining carefully returned to the bedroom. Seeing Yang Sichen dressed up gorgeously, she smiled and said,"Yo! How should I address you? Should I call you Miss? Or should I continue to call you Eldest Young Master?"
Yang Sichen said angrily,"Whatever!"”
Zhao Sining cupped her hands and said pretentiously,"This young miss, this young master greets you.”
Yang Sichen snorted and turned his head to the side, ignoring her.
At this moment, Zi Juan came into the bedroom with a pair of blue embroidered shoes. Seeing this, she smiled and said,""Young miss, this servant will help you change into these embroidered shoes, then we will secretly go and see Biao Young Master!”
…………
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the three of them jumped out of the window and climbed over the wall. They then used their lightness skills and ran towards Xingde Teahouse…
About fifteen minutes later, the three of them entered the private room and found that it was empty. There was only an open sack on the chair. Just as the three of them were at a loss, a man jumped in from the window and hugged Zhao Sining. Not only did Zhao Sining not resist, but she also hugged the man and shouted,"Big brother!"
Zi Juan heaved a sigh of relief. Yang Sichen also recognized this man as the man in black whom he had defeated last night. This man was half a head taller than her and had a well-proportioned figure. He had a face without any distinctive features and looked to be less than nineteen years old. He was wearing a set of gray clothes and black boots, which made him look a little out of place.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Zhao Sining whispered a few words to the man. The man looked at Yang Sichen in surprise, then let go of Zhao Sining and knelt down in front of Yang Sichen."Young Master Yang, what happened last night was the fault of us siblings. Little Sister is still young and ignorant of the world, which caused a huge disaster. I'm willing to bear all the consequences. I only beg Young Master Yang to be merciful and let my little sister go.”After saying that, he kowtowed three times.
Zhao Sining also realized the seriousness of the problem. She knelt down and said,"I was the one who stabbed him. It has nothing to do with my brother. You can kill me if you want, but let my brother go!”
"Get up, get up!" Yang Sichen quickly said. When did I say that I wanted to take revenge on you and your sister? You've all been used by others. However, if I don't take revenge on you, you should at least give me an explanation.”
Zhao Xingning said," That woman was wearing a bamboo hat with a veil hanging down. Her entire body was covered up tightly, so you couldn't see her face at all." However, her voice was a little hoarse. Only women over forty years old would have that kind of voice, and it was the kind of hoarseness that only people who often shouted when they were young would have.”
"What color is the face cloth?" Yang Sichen asked again.
Zhao Xingning thought for a while and replied,"There's no flower pattern, just pure lake blue, only revealing two eyes, and even the eye area is covered with a layer of gauze, making it blurry."
Yang Sichen frowned and asked Zhao Xingning,""Is there anything else?"
Zhao Xingning thought carefully for a while and shook his head."No more."
Yang Sichen saw that he couldn't get anything valuable out of her, so he decided not to ask anymore. "I heard from your sister that your family lives in Fushun, Liaodong. Do you know where the descendants of Fan Wenzheng are?" I only know that Emperor Taizu sent them to Liaodong.”
"Does the Fan family have a young master called Fan Wencheng?”Yang Sichen asked calmly.
"Yes, I am. The second young master of the Fan family was Fan Wencheng!”Zhao Xingning said.
" I have a way to treat your sister's internal injuries," Yang Sichen said seriously." This servant girl of mine practices the Nine Yin Divine Technique. She might be able to cure your sister's internal injuries, but it will take five years." During this time, she must stay by my side and serve me. It was up to her to decide whether to stay or go after five years. I will not interfere. I need you to do something for me!"
"What is it? As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!”Zhao Xingning said without hesitation.
"Before March of next year, no matter what method you use, get this Fan Wencheng to Song Jiang. Even if you have to carry him with a sack, you have to carry him to Song Jiang! After February 25th, if he still couldn't reach Song Jiang, he would kill him! Anyway, we can't let him live in Liaodong!" Yang Sichen gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious expression.
Fan Wencheng had lived through four generations of the Qing Dynasty and assisted three of its masters. He had made immortal contributions to the creation of the Qing Dynasty. His "achievements" could be compared to Zhang Hongfan, who destroyed the Song Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty. However, because Fan Wencheng had helped the ethnic minorities to seize the Han people's world, people had a long-term prejudice against his "rebellion." He had once called himself the " Great Ming Bone, Great Qing Meat ", which meant that he had also suffered because of it.
He faced all kinds of complicated situations and was able to see the big picture. He said what he should say and did what he should do. He did not listen to others or sway with the wind. He had an outstanding military strategy and was able to move the people. He could skillfully turn his political ambitions into reality, thus making an indelible contribution to the suffering of the people and the decline of society. He was worthy of being called a dog slave with foresight.
If he couldn't get this kind of person, then he would personally destroy him! He must not fall into the hands of the Jurchen!
Zhao Xingning was dumbfounded. It took him a while to react and said,"This…why?"
"Back then, my great-grandfather was an official. If it weren't for the impeachment letter from the Fan family, his family wouldn't have been raided. Now, I kidnapped a grandson of the Fan family to work for me. What's wrong with this?”Yang Sichen raised his orchid fingers and smiled before continuing," People like you who came from Liaodong know the situation better than I do. It's only a matter of time before the Jurchen people revolt. When the time comes, if the old and young of the Fan family in Liaodong are massacred, I'll be the one to leave the Fan family's incense. The ancestors of the Fan family will have to thank me!”After saying that, he stared at Zhao Xingning with a vulture-like gaze.
Zhao Xingning looked at Yang Sichen's beautiful face and his mind went blank. After a long time, he slowly nodded and said,"I will do my best. After this matter is done, I hope that Young Master will keep his promise and do his best to treat my sister's internal injuries.”
Yang Sichen nodded and said," Of course. If my servant girl can't be cured, I'll write to Granny Wen to ask for her help. She must have a way. My servant girl learned all her skills from her." But Granny Wen has a very strange temper. If she wants your sister to work for her, I can't do anything about it.”
"Are you Wen Ying, Granny Wen, who is known as the 'White Hair Glowing' in the martial world?”Zhao Xingning asked excitedly.
Zhao Xingning nodded as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden and said,"Nun Quan Zhen mentioned that they were close friends in the past. Nun Quan Zhen said that Nanny Wen's medical skills were not inferior to the imperial physicians in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. It was just that Nun Quan Zhen was wandering outside and had not interacted with her for many years. For this, Quan Zhen Nun is very regretful."
Yang Sichen paused for a moment and took a sip of tea before continuing,""Quickly persuade your fellow countrymen to leave Liaodong. The Jurchen Nurhachi has already become the Great Khan and has already become alienated from the Ming court. The rebellion will probably happen in the next one or two years. If the imperial court and the Jurchen fight, no matter who wins or loses, the ones who will suffer will definitely be the common people like you.”
Zhao Xingning nodded and did not say anything else.
Yang Sichen looked out the window and felt that it had been a while, so he said,""It's getting late. Xingning, you go first and stay at the Great Virtue Inn in the city. That's the property of the Yang family, no one dares to cause trouble there. Sining, you come with us first. I'll ask Zi Juan to send you to the Great Virtue Inn when we're near the Yang Mansion. Zijuan, after you send Sining off, go around before returning to Yang Manor. I'll wait for you at the teahouse outside. Let's go back together. After that, make another trip and send some silver and clothes to the Great Virtue Inn. If it really doesn't work, hire a carriage. We can't reveal any flaws. Two days later, Sining will enter the Yang residence as Zijuan's distant cousin. After the first month, I will arrange for Xingning to take our Yang family's ship back to Liaodong. Don't go out for the next two days if you can. There are many spies outside. If they find out, I might not be able to save you.”
The siblings nodded gratefully.
Zi Juan pouted and stomped her feet.""Young Master, this servant has a laborious life!”
Yang Sichen shrugged and pointed at his own beautiful face. He pretended to be helpless and said,"You still have the cheek to complain. Look at what you've done to me. Could it be that you can let this delicate young miss run alone to send money to her lover? Only you can dress me up like this. Since you've started it, it's naturally up to you to finish it.”
Zhao Xingning was at a loss as he watched from the side. However, he quickly came around and felt that Yang Sichen was not harsh on his servants. As long as his sister did not cause any trouble, her life in the Yang residence should be quite good. At least, she would not be like in Liaodong where she ate with her family. He hoped that this Young Master Yang was a wealthy person and would give her more money.
