Concubine Survival Guide

The ancestral tomb of the Long family is located on a high ground in the southwest of Houshan, facing Yunmeng Lake and backed by Longyuan Mountain.

Sheng Yan heard the butler Uncle Lin muttering, and only then did he know that this back mountain had a name.

The butler, Uncle Lin, helped sort out Long Ershao's belongings. He said that according to the rules of the Long family, some things should not be kept after July.The eldest master, Long Bifei, still lives nearby, and Qi Qi, the ghost of the second young master, must have come back that night, otherwise the young master wouldn't have stood at the door of this house in the middle of the night, staying overnight.

"I'm afraid the two brothers met." Uncle Lin sighed, "It is said that the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master have a good relationship, but people outside the Dragon Mansion still don't believe it... How do they know that the Second Young Master has been very close since he was a child?" Those who are clingy to the elder and younger will be disobedient when they lose their temper, but as long as the elder and younger sit beside him, they will stop crying."

"Is there still such a thing?" The anecdote from childhood must have only added to the worries of the eldest brother, Sheng Yan sighed and followed Uncle Lin.

He didn't want Uncle Lin to put away all these things. After all, the second brother wasn't really dead. Seeing everyone burn paper money for him, he already felt terrified, and now...

"What are you doing? Things, don't move anything, put them back!" Long Bifei stood at the door at some point, looking at them coldly.

Sheng Yanxin said it was just right, he wanted to stay but didn't dare to stay, now that the eldest brother is angry, who would dare to provoke him?

Uncle Lin bowed his head and walked over, trying to persuade the young master who had seen him grow up, but as soon as he got close, half of his face was leaning against Long Bifei's palm and fell to one side, causing burning pain.

Unexpectedly, the young master slapped his old bone as soon as he raised his hand.

Sheng Yan hurriedly stepped forward and took his hand, winking at Uncle Lin, what are you waiting for, hurry up, let him walk away from the door quickly.

Long Bifei clenched his hands tightly, and the backs of his hands were full of bursting veins, jumping up and down.

Sheng Yan took the tea from Mingyan and handed it to him, saying, "Don't be angry, elder brother, Uncle Lin is just following the rules. If you don't want to, second brother's things will still be in the room, just like the original one." So, no one moves, okay?"

Facing the eldest brother who was sometimes dazed and sometimes sober during this period of time, he could only coax him like a child.

Long Bifei pushed away the teacup he handed him, and instead of sitting down, he looked around in Bisheng's room, looked at the smoker on his bed, touched the Four Treasures of the Study on his desk, and finally opened his door. The golden nanmu wardrobe, looking at the white long gowns inside, stroked them one by one with his fingers, staring at them in a daze.

Mingyan and Chunyi who were following behind couldn't help but wet their clothes with tears.

These servants were also ignorant of the truth. Dongping and Xiping saw their master being sent back to the Dragon Mansion covered in blood, and they were frightened. Naturally, Long Bisheng's death was firmly believed.

Sheng Yan looked at them and couldn't bear it, but he had to hide it.Now he can only follow Long Bifei, let him do whatever he wants, and let no one touch his scales.

But what he didn't expect was that in the next half month, Long Bifei became more and more depressed day by day.

When he was in a daze, he hugged Bisheng's clothes and sat in the room in a daze, muttering to himself, asking him when Sheng'er would come back.When he was awake, he had a violent expression, and whenever he met everyone, he asked who killed Sheng'er, and he wanted to avenge him and kill that villain!

Elder Master didn't have the time to comfort him, Elder Madam was still ill, except Sixth Young Master Long Bilian came to visit once, Fourth Young Master and Fifth Young Master took this opportunity to work hard at Xiaoxiang Terrace and didn't want to worry about it.

This matter fell on Sheng Yanbutt.

Sheng Yan thought over and over again, thinking about how to tell him this matter from the beginning to the end?Should he tell the whole truth, or... He knew that he couldn't provoke Long Bifei now, so he briefly explained the reason for this matter.

Long Bifei, who was originally in a daze, heard him mention Anxihou, opened his eyes and stared at him.

"You said... that person is Marquis Anxi?" Obviously, Bifei had also heard of this person's notoriety.

Sheng Yan nodded, and said to him: "Yes. A few days ago, my second brother and I went to the market to buy something, and by chance, we met this Marquis of Anxi. At that time, my second brother and I I don't know his identity, I just think he is a rascal, a playboy, I ignored his carelessness, who would have formed a beam like this..."

Long Bifei gritted his teeth resentfully, and said, "What a vicious Marquis of Anxi, did Sheng'er get into that sedan chair because he was afraid that he would come to the Long's house to cause trouble..." Immediately, the hammered table rang, "Listen Said that Marquis Anxi was cut by Sheng'er, and also hurt the vitals of his lower body?"

"Well, that's what happened." Sheng Yan felt that he believed it, so he didn't add any more details, and just said: "He has also received retribution."

"Retribution?" Long Bifei sneered, "What is this little retribution... He should pay for Sheng'er's life! Even if he is a relative of the emperor, he really deserves to die!"

Sheng Yan could see how deeply angry and resentful he was at this moment. However, they couldn't afford to offend Anxihou now, so they could only continue to persuade him: "Brother, I understand all this! We must avenge the revenge of second brother, but , Marquis of Anxi is still the uncle of the country, we can't touch him!"

"If you can't move, don't move? Sheng Yan... Tell me honestly, were you there that night? Dad sent me out of Yongjia on purpose because he was afraid that I would know the truth, right? You... Is there something else you haven't told me... ... Sheng'er..." Long Bifei asked in pain, his eyes trembling violently, "Did Sheng'er be given by this bastard before he was alive... Did that bastard treat him..."

Sheng Yan immediately understood what he was asking, quickly shook his head and said, "No, no! The second brother left cleanly, that bastard failed!"

Only then did Long Bifei feel comforted, and he barely propped up the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and said, "That's good...that's good."

"Brother, don't be like this...Second brother will be sad when he sees it, so don't let him go uneasy, huh?" Sheng Yan took his hand and said slowly: "Besides, if you want to avenge second brother, big brother , you must cheer up!"

Long Bifei was stunned for a long time, then nodded silently.

But for some reason, he turned around and grabbed Sheng Yan's arm, and asked in a cold voice, "Sheng Yan, Sheng'er is not dead, is he? Otherwise... how come you don't feel sad so soon, and what about Fang Ling?" Don't come to worship him? He likes Sheng'er so much, it shouldn't be..."

Sheng Yan was slightly startled, but quickly calmed down, and replied, "Brother, it's not that I'm not sad, it's because I have to take care of you so I'm trying my best. As for Brother Ling, he came here earlier... just like you, I didn't believe that my second brother was dead. I cried all night in the mourning hall, and was taken away by people from the Fang Mansion the next day. In the past two days...the news came that he was going on a study tour. Presumably, he wanted to go out to relax and relieve his grief Bar."

"Yes, is that so?" Long Bifei's last bit of hope was extinguished, and his eyes fell into darkness again.

But Sheng Yan knew that he had basically accepted the fact that his second brother was dead.

Sure enough, on the third day, Long Bifei walked out of Chenxiang Pavilion to pay his respects to the eldest lady, and in the next few days, he also resumed the habit of going to Xiaoxiangtai every day.

Sheng Yan was finally able to let go of half of his heart.

The tense nerves can finally be relaxed. In his opinion, it will take at least two or three years for the elder brother to completely recover from the pain of losing the second brother. Now he is just barely pulling himself together, but at least he is not now. Will go on in a daze.

Today, he gave himself a day off.

Since he left early, Sheng Yan didn't sleep too much, getting up early and going to bed late has almost become a routine.Even if there is nothing to be busy today, Sheng Yan still got up very early. First, he took Xiaosi and strolled around the backyard a few times. I flipped through the original fragrance book without a cover.Now, he can recite all the contents of this book, and it is useless to keep it at hand, so he put it together with Su's jade tablet, or hid it in the dark brick.

Seeing the jade plaque, it is inevitable to think of Su. At this moment, Sheng Yan thinks of the little rabbits in the back mountain, wondering if they have grown up?

Just go to the back mountain to have a look!After thinking about it, Sheng Yan hugged Xiao Si and said hello to Xing'er Xin'er, and walked to the back mountain alone without taking anyone with her.Without Su taking him the authentic shortcut, he was out of breath climbing the mountain.

Xiao Si twisted his body, jumped out of his arms, and rushed to the front.

While looking at Xiao Si, Sheng Yan was afraid that he might get lost, while climbing up the stone steps.Xiao Si had never been outside before, with his tail stretched straight, he scurried around like a merry man, fluttering at butterflies for a while, and rolling in the grass for a while, feeling very happy.But it still knows to follow Sheng Yan, and when it gets tired from playing, it runs over and rubs Sheng Yan's trousers, asking him to pick him up again.

When they reached the col, Sheng Yan's arms were sore from holding Xiao Si.

After resting for a while, he continued walking until he found the big rock that Su brought him.Let go of Xiao Si and let him roll in the flowers, Sheng Yan softly lay on top of the big rock and looked inside.

But there was only hay scattered all over the place inside, but the little rabbits were all gone.

Sheng Yan stamped her feet angrily, feeling very uncomfortable.That's right, the little rabbit is still here waiting for him, and when he grows up, why don't they all run away! "You said to catch rabbits for me, liar!" But even if he made his own scolding voice resound throughout the valley, how could Su hear it?

After feeling melancholy for a while, Sheng Yan turned back to look for Xiao Si, but when she raised her eyes, she saw something hanging on those familiar orange trees.When I got closer, I realized that they were small wooden signs with holes and strings hanging from them.Rows of small wooden boards swayed in the wind, making a simple thumping sound when they collided with each other.

Sheng Yan tore off a branch casually, and saw the words written on the wooden sign.

There are a few pieces that read: "Shock cigarettes, smile a little", "I'm sorry", "I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye", "I just told you for some reason" Look carefully, the words on these wooden signs can be read together, It's like a letter.

After reading the words on a branch, Sheng Yan took off the wooden sign and put it in his arms.

Then, he tore off the other one and held it in his hand, and found a wooden sign that said: "I have built a bamboo fence, under that big locust tree... the little rabbit is there!"

Sheng Yan unconsciously raised the brows and the corners of her mouth, picked up Xiao Si who was smelling a small purple flower on the ground, and ran towards the big locust tree.

After taking a breath, I looked under the tree, and there was indeed a fence made of bamboo slats, inside which was a little rabbit with gray purple eyes, with a soft rope tied around its neck, lying on the ground and eating beans.He looked up the tree where the beans had fallen, and couldn't help laughing.

I was afraid that the rabbit would starve to death, so I made a net bag with a small opening, let it drop some beans from time to time, as the rabbit's food.But he hasn't been here for a long time, and the net bag is almost empty.It is estimated that he will be a few days late, and the rabbit will only be able to gnaw on the grass next to him.

Sheng Yan put down Xiao Si, stepped into the fence and picked up the little rabbit.The little rabbit shook its ears curiously, glanced at him, then continued to gnaw the beans in its paws.

He lifted it up and rubbed it against his cheeks, it was soft and warm, but Sheng Yan suddenly felt sore from his chest cavity to his nasal cavity. Looking at the little rabbit and then at Xiao Si, his eyes turned red and fluttered. Two drops of tears fell down.

"It's all his fault, it's all his fault, isn't it? Tell him to go and do this kind of thing, tell him to touch me! It's too much! It's too bad!" Sheng Yan grabbed the rabbit's short tail with one hand, With one hand twirling Xiao Si's tail, he cried and laughed watching a cat and a rabbit struggling to escape.

Seeing that Xiao Si was about to show his claws, he let go.

Sheng Yan didn't care about Xiao Si who was rolling around on the ground, hugged the rabbit in his arms, stroked it, and said to himself, "What name should I give you?"

After thinking for a long time, he picked up the long ears of the rabbit and told it: "Call you Xiao Jiu, do you like it?" After speaking, he pressed its ears and said with a smile: "I like it, so it's decided, from now on. From now on, you will be Xiao Jiu!"

How wonderful it would be if he and Su's ordinary life could last for a long time.

Then he hugged Xiao Si and put it in front of it, and said to it: "This is Xiao Si, you should get along well in the future!"

Xiao Jiu looked stupidly at Xiao Si who was squatting in front of him, wagging his tail, and backed away slightly.

Xiao Si tilted his head to look at it curiously, and meowed. Seeing that Xiao Jiu didn't respond, he leaned close to him and sniffed it, then stretched out his paw and patted its head.

Xiao Jiu still shook his ears foolishly, not daring to move.

At this time, Xiao Si turned his head excitedly, and meowed at Sheng Yan—meow, it is a live rabbit, and it can be played with!

Sheng Yan looked at the two little guys with a smile, took out the wooden sign that he had put in his pocket just now, and looked at it several times.

There was a wooden sign he hadn't found just now, with four large characters written in deep strokes on it: Wait for me for four years.

"Four years?" Sheng Yan pouted, threw the wooden sign into the sky, and then caught it, "Why wait for you? Four years is so long..." He glanced at Xiao Si and Xiao Jiu, and muttered softly: "If neither Xiao Si nor Xiao Jiu can give birth to a cub by then, I'll just wait for you..."

With a pursed smile, Sheng Yan got up from the ground, hugged Xiao Si and Xiao Jiu in her arms, and went down the mountain.

As for the remaining wooden sign on the orange tree?

Sheng Yan looked back, and didn't intend to take it down, because Su was actually hanging a bit higher, and with his current height, he had to move a ladder over.

"Then wait until I grow taller!" Sheng Yanxin said that this is a way to urge himself to eat more and grow taller quickly. After thinking about it, he decided to eat an extra bowl of rice tonight.

After this day, Sheng Yan held Xiao Si and Xiao Jiu in his arms, and it was not so difficult to fall asleep.However, Xiao Si's stinking habit of sneaking up on his chest to sleep in the middle of the night always made Sheng Yan feel like he had come back long ago.

In fact, this is not bad... Sheng Yan can touch Xiao Si's ears every day when he opens his eyes, pinch his ears, then poke his warm belly, then pick up Xiao Si and throw him on him, watching them crooked. Twisted and overturned in one piece.

Such a bustle and bustle will make him feel that Su has been watching him from behind him, and has never left.

Perhaps the four years were not as difficult as I imagined.
