Jade Without Fragrance

Chapter 13: Under The Moon

Chapter 13 Under the Moon

It was getting late, and a crescent moon hung in the air, quietly looking at the world.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of Wen Mansion, and a middle-aged man came down.

The man walked a little wobbly, and when he reached the side door, he patted the door hard.

The doorman opened the door and said with a smile, “The Eighth Master is back.”

The man burped, waved his hand and walked in.

The doorman pouted behind the man, revealing his previously hidden contempt.

A man who came to fight the autumn wind and regarded himself as the master of Wen Mansion.

The middle-aged man who was slandered by his disciples was Wen Rugui’s clan brother Wen Rusheng, who ranked eighth in the clan.

Wenjia Village is located in a remote location, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Wen. Wen Rugui was the first to pass the Jinshi examination in Wenjia Village in decades.

One can imagine how much honor Wen Rugui brought to the clan.

Therefore, Wenjia Village has a much stronger reading atmosphere than other villages.

Who wouldn’t want to come up with a second Wen Rugui?

However, natural reading materials are too rare, Wen Rusheng will come to the capital because his son is also a good material.

Wen Rusheng’s second son, Wen Feng, was named in the Guibang in the autumn of last year, and he rushed to the capital in the beginning of the spring to prepare for the examination.

Wen Rusheng accompanied his son to Beijing, and naturally came to go to the clan brother Wen Rugui.

Wen Rugui was very happy with the arrival of his clan brother and nephew. He served good wine and meat, and gave him a lot of money.

Looking at the clan’s younger brother’s grand mansion, and the groups of servants, Wen Rusheng was jealous, and he had high hopes for his son.

Cousin was awarded the jinshi, and when his son became the jinshi, he would be like his cousin.

Spring is coming, and seeing his son get acquainted with the same subject and ask for advice, Wen Rusheng couldn’t help but walk around.

As soon as I walked, I found that the capital is so good that it will not be the same after drinking and drinking for a month.

In a few days, my son will enter the examination room.

Wen Rusheng raised his head and glanced at the crescent moon, then turned to Wen Feng’s residence.

The house was quiet, and only the shadowy decorations could be seen through the windows.

“I haven’t come back yet.” Wen Rusheng muttered, a little disappointed.

He also wants to tell his son to drink less and eat more vegetables when he gets together with his classmates.

Wen Rusheng turned around and wanted to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing past.

His hair stood on end, staring at the window.

The dark shadow flashed through the window.

That is, in the son’s house!

Is the son inside?

That’s not right either, Wen’s house is not afraid of using lamp oil, and a small light is also on when falling asleep to make it easier to wake up at night. Now that the room is dark, it means that the son has not come back.

Wen Rusheng approached the window step by step, perhaps because he was drinking, and he was clearly afraid, but somehow he stuck his face to the window and looked in.

Can’t see anything clearly.

Xu is dazzled.

Wen Rusheng breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and just turned around to leave when he heard a sound inside the house, as if something heavy fell to the ground.

His mind went blank for a moment, he pushed the door and rushed in, hurriedly lit the lamp, and walked inside and out holding the candlestick.

No one and no object fell to the ground.

is really evil!

Wen Rusheng was stunned, and the alcohol was completely gone, only the shudder remained.

The son will not be harmed by evil, right?

No, he wants to find his son!

When Wen Rusheng and his son first arrived, considering Wen Feng’s need for quietness in his studies, Wen Rugui specially ordered someone to give Wen Feng a residence in a cross-court where the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard connect. Going out from a moon gate across the courtyard is the garden.

Wen Rusheng took a few steps and walked into the garden.

The garden is quiet, with flowers and trees everywhere, it is easy to get lost in the deep night.

Wen Rusheng walked around a clump of flowers and trees and stopped abruptly.

On a tree ahead, a white shadow swayed.

Wen Rusheng hid behind Huamu with lightning speed, but his reaction at this moment did not look like someone who had been drinking.

He held his breath and looked carefully.

The white shadow is still shaking.

Wen Rusheng rubbed his eyes, barely able to see clearly through the moonlight.

is a girl in white.

The girl was sitting on the tree, her feet dangling leisurely, and she was eating something.

That is-

Wen Rusheng widened his eyes.

is the second girl!

Wen Rusheng has lived in Wen Mansion for more than a month, and he is confident that he will never admit his mistake.

The cold moonlight, the girl sitting on the tree happily eating, looking at the beautiful picture, fell into Wen Rusheng’s eyes and felt horrified.

Which normal lady sits on a tree and eats at night!

He said that it was abnormal for the second girl to be able to speak suddenly, shouldn’t the second girl be possessed by evil spirits?

The sound of rustling came, Wen Rusheng was startled, and hurriedly ducked back.

A maid in blue came over, raised her head and called out to the **** the tree: “Girl, go back when you have enough moon.”

His—Wen Rusheng gasped, and hurriedly covered his mouth, a reliable guess emerged: The second girl is absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon!

“Let’s go.” In the dark night, the voice of the girl in white appeared ethereal and ethereal.

The two master and servant walked in the direction of Wen Rusheng, getting closer and closer.

Wen Rusheng didn’t dare to come out, and stared at it with wide eyes.

Seeing the two approaching, the maid in blue suddenly stopped.

“Wait a minute, girl, there’s something on the corner of your mouth.”

The girl in white took a bite of the food in her hand and waved her hand with a smile: “It’s okay, no one will see it at night anyway, just go back to the house and wash it.”

The two master and servant walked away, Wen Rusheng slumped on the ground, his face was pale.

What the two girls just ate… turned out to be human fingers!

Wen Rusheng wanted to scream, but found that he couldn’t make a sound under the extreme fear.

His whole body was drained, and even breathing became difficult.

The moon in the sky hid in the clouds, and a thicker black shrouded it.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Rusheng got up tremblingly and ran back to the room.

is too scary, the second girl turned out to be a man-eating monster!

Wen Rusheng covered the quilt and trembled all over, shaking and shaking suddenly remembered one thing: Where is the son?

Will my son be eaten by the second girl?

He thought of the dark shadows and strange noises in Wenfeng’s house, and cried.

The wind picked up, and the plantains outside the window swayed with leaves, lightly hitting the window lattice.

Wen is like a bird frightened, afraid to close his eyes.

He stayed up until dawn with his head covered, and immediately got up and rushed to his son’s house.

It was empty inside, and neither the son nor the servant who had been arranged by the Wen family to serve his son was there.

“Son!” Wen Rusheng patted the door frame and burst into tears.

“What’s wrong with Master Eight?” The woman’s puzzled voice came.

Wen Rusheng saw that it was the old woman who was in charge of the sweeping, opened his mouth and said, “You two girls—”

“It’s a monster” was swallowed by him.

Don’t let the second girl know that he saw it, or the second girl will eat him!

How to do? How to do?

Wen Rusheng turned around a few times and then ran.

He’s going to tell his cousin!

Seeing Wen Rusheng who was running away in a hurry, Mrs. Sosa pouted.

What an unruly poor man.
