Chapter 24 Mid-Autumn Festival
There was infinite peace at night. Young Master Jiu sat alone in the corner of the warehouse, hungry and worried. His mind was already in chaos. He was very relieved, but also very annoyed to the end of this matter. What was relieved was that Gong Meier finally saved her life, and what was annoyed was why she wanted to trap him in an unjust place.
"Young Master Nine, Young Master Nine."
Just as she was thinking, Gong Mei'er's voice came from outside the door. Young Master Jiu hurried to the door and was about to answer, but remembered what she did, and then closed her mouth as if she was angry.
How could Gong Meier not understand his thoughts? Anyone who had this matter would be angry. "Young Master Jiu, I brought you a meal. If you don't accept it, the meal will be cold." Gong Meier's tone was full of apology.
"You are kind at this time!" Young Master Jiu couldn't help but say something.
When Gong Meier heard that Young Master Jiu finally spoke, she knew in her heart that he had no worries anymore. She just couldn't let go of her politeness. She continued to attack gently: "Young Master Jiu, let's go to the window. I have seen it. There is a hole under the window to bring the food in."
When he walked to the window, Master Jiu came over. Gong Meier handed the food in. Master Jiu took the food and grabbed Gong Meier's hand before he could pull it back.
"What are you doing?" Gong Mei'er's gentleness just now disappeared.
"Bong Meier, why are you trapping me in an unjust place?" Young Master Ninth held her hand tightly and finally asked the sentence he wanted to ask the most in his heart.
"Mr. Ninth Master, I have not trapped you in an unjust place. You are the only person in this general's house who can inherit the general's legacy. I know that you will not have any major issues so I blame you. Besides, you have not drunk that whiskey at all, and you have also said that you are an accomplice."
Young Master Jiu smiled and grabbed Gong Meier's hand tightened. He just liked this quirky Gong Meier.
"Are you finished asking? Can you let go of my hand?"
Young Master Jiu did not make things difficult for her and immediately let go of his hand. He was indeed very hungry, so he picked up the bowl and pulled a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, but he chewed it for a while and stopped, "Bong Meier! Why is this rice raw?"
"You just make do with it! I was so nervous when I was cooking just now, for fear of being discovered. In this case, some of them are good to eat. Only I dare to risk my life to deliver food to you."
"Bong Meier, who caused me to be in such a field now?"
Gong Meier picked up a stone and threw it into the hole, "Do you eat or not? Don't eat it for me, it's so dangerous for me to eat with you here. Not only are you not grateful, but you are also picky!"
Young Master Jiu stopped talking, lowered his head and finished the meal silently, and then handed the bowls and chopsticks out. Gong Meier took the bowls and chopsticks, got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Young Master Ninth shouted.
"What's wrong?"
"Will you come tomorrow?"
Gong Meier smiled, "That's not necessarily the case. If I have too much work and can't finish it, I can't come."
"Bong Meier! The master you serve is locked up here, how can you do anything else!"
"Then I don't know." After that, she turned around and ran away. In fact, Gong Mei'er just said that she was unforgivable. The next day she came to deliver the meal, and she kept doing this for the next few days.
The five-day deadline has arrived, and Master Jiu was released. On that day, both the wife and the grandma went to see Master Jiu. But they didn’t know why, but Master Jiu obviously didn’t eat for five days, but instead gained weight. Perhaps it was because of the illusion that the wife and the grandma both thought so.
Young Master Jiu was kept by his wife and grandmother for dinner. They kept picking up food for Young Master Jiu, saying that Young Master Jiu hadn't eaten for five days and must make up for it. Although Young Master Jiu was not hungry, he could only bite the bullet and eat wildly to show that he had not eaten for five days. It was not until dark that Young Master Jiu was able to return to Xie Luozhai. Of course, the first thing he did when he returned to Xie Luozhai was to go to Gongmei's room.
At this time, Gong Meier had already slept. In fact, she was not used to the work and rest time here when she had just traveled to ancient times, but since she came to Xie Luozhai, she worked leisurely all day and did nothing, she became particularly able to sleep now. Seeing that Gong Meier was already asleep, she thought to herself that she should not disturb her. He walked to the door of the room and was about to go out, but suddenly found that Xie Luozhai had been arranged today. Only then did he remember that the wife's house and the courtyard of the general's mansion had been carefully arranged. He looked up and saw a big and round moon. It turned out that today was Mid-Autumn Festival.
Young Master Nine immediately turned back and woke up Gong Meier with great force, "Meier, wake up!"
Gong Meier was sleeping soundly, but she was woken up like this. She was already angry, and when she opened her eyes and saw Master Jiu, she became even more angry, "What are you doing!" She yelled at Master Jiu.
Young Master Jiu was not angry and said gently: "Mei'er, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, do you know?"
Gong Meier frowned, "Of course I know, I still hang the lanterns in the yard."
"Mei'er, you haven't been out in the General's Mansion in the past few years, have you?"
Gong Meier nodded with her eyes down, and this sentence poked Gong Meier's sadness. For the past four years, she had been locked up in the general's mansion, but she had no idea what the outside world looked like.
"Then I'll take you out to the night market today, how about it?"
Gong Meier couldn't believe it, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true. When did this young master deceive you?"
"Okay, okay!" Gong Mei'er hurriedly agreed, afraid that he would repent.
"Then I'll get a man's clothes for you to change, and we'll set off." Young Master Jiu said, and then returned to his room and gave it to Gongmeier. In ancient times, it was not convenient for women to show up in the street market, and there were many bad people. With Gongmeier's appearance, it was easy to get into trouble.
After waiting at the door for a while, Gong Meier changed her clothes and came out. In order to disguise her, she even stuck a beard. Seeing her appearance, her eyes lit up. Gong Meier was not inferior to her when she pretended to be a man. However, her figure was too petite and looked weak.
"How can we get out?" Gong Meier asked.
Young Master Ninth came to his senses, "There is a big tree to the west of the General's Mansion, extending all the way outside. We can climb out through that tree."
"Young Master Jiu is very experienced, you often do this?" Gong Meier raised her eyebrows with a smile, and took out the palm-palm fan that Young Master Jiu gave her and fanned it. She looked very funny.
Young Master Jiu smiled and did not answer. He climbed up the tree first, stretched out a hand to Gong Meier, and signaled to pull her up. Gong Meier did not pull his hand, but climbed up the tree in a few strokes. After all, she was a Taekwondo black belt. The problem of climbing a tree could not be hindered.
"Yes, Gong Meier, I really admire you more and more now."
"That's it." Gong Meier smiled proudly.
After saying that, the two of them climbed over the wall and left the general's mansion along the trunk.
