"Ah! Huang Lian doesn't dare, Huang Lian doesn't dare! Huang Lian just ...... Just ......"

The little maid was flustered by her master's question, and hurriedly wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to say it, and she hesitated for a long time, knowing that when she saw Miss Huang smiling, she realized that her master was not angry, and couldn't help pouting.

"Miss, you're here to make fun of Huang Lian again. ”

"Haha, I'm not making fun of you, I just want to hear how you feel about that Young Master Qu. ”

"Feeling? Huang Lian can't say it, she just thinks that Young Master Qu is very powerful, he is handsome, and he is simply a talented woman with you, a match made in heaven. A person like Young Master Qu, although he is not a young master yet, he will definitely become a great master in the future. Hey, by the way, sir, miss, you came out this time, did the master agree?"

"Agreed. ”

"No, how could the lord agree to you to come to see ......?"

The little maid Huang Lian was halfway through her words, and suddenly saw a dark cloud flashing on the face of the eldest lady of the Huang family, so she immediately shut up and cautiously turned her head to look out of the carriage window.

After a short time, the carriage came to the mouth of a street and alley, and Miss Huang shouted to stop and got out of the carriage with the maid.

More than half a year ago, when Miss Huang and Qu Lianjie were communicating privately, she heard the other party mention the place where she lived, probably the street in front of her. She came this time to see Qu Lianjie's residence with her own eyes and confirm the whereabouts of the other party. If Qu Lianjie really went to Beijing to catch the exam, he never came back. Then she doesn't mind taking advantage of the opportunity of the draft to enter the capital as well.

Walking into the alley, the clever little maid took the lead in running to the door of a house, knocked on the door, and was about to call someone out to ask Qu Lianjie about his specific residence, but no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time.

"Why is there no one at home in broad daylight?"

The little maid Huang Lian muttered unconsciously, turned her head and walked to the next house, who knew that after walking down this way, knocking on the doors of more than a dozen houses, there was no one in the house.

At this time, the fool could also sense that something was wrong, and the little maid hurriedly ran to the side of the eldest lady of the Huang family. A little frightened, he said, "Miss." I've heard that a skinless spirit has been killing people everywhere lately, and you said that there wasn't a single person on the whole street in broad daylight, so it wouldn't be that skinless spirit who was killed, right?"

After saying this, the little girl herself was scared and trembled.

The eldest lady of the Huang family was not as frightened as she was. Smiled casually. poked the little maid's head and said, "Huang Lian." You're stupid. Look at how clean the streets are, if there are really monsters killing people, it is impossible to not even see a little blood. Let's go. If you look at the front, you might have gone out to work or do something else. ”

Miss Huang waved her hand and took the lead towards the depths of the alley, her eyes constantly observing the surroundings as she walked. It didn't matter if she didn't look at it, she herself began to get nervous at first glance. Because she found that all the portals had fallen in front of a layer of dust, and some even had some cobwebs, apparently no one had lived in them for a long time.

How can a huge street be uninhabited for a long time?

With such doubts, I walked all the way to the back half of the street, and the eldest lady of the Huang family saw a different family, because the stone steps in front of this house were so clean that they were not in the same world compared to other houses on the whole street.

"Huang Lian. ”

"Yes, miss. ”

"Go, knock on this house's door. ”

"Oh. ”

The little maid obediently stepped forward and knocked on the door, and pulled it several times in succession, but no one answered in the door.

"Miss, it seems that there is no one in this family. ”

"No ......"

The eldest lady of the Huang family muttered in her mouth, raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and infinite sadness rose in her heart.

She actually came this time to find that Qu Lianjie, maybe the other party went to Beijing to catch up with the exam and failed, so there was no news for so long. She didn't blame him, after all, if it was in this situation in the past, the two of them would have absolutely no result.

But now it's different, the emperor's draft girl, as the only daughter of the Huang family, the richest man in Changzhou, will definitely not be able to hide, unless she gets married within three days. As a result, Master Huang's requirements for choosing a son-in-law have been reduced indefinitely. This eldest lady of the Huang family herself doesn't want to go deep into the palace gate, she has been studying since she was a child, and she knows that life in the palace is definitely not so beautiful. That's why I took the initiative to come here to look for Qu Lianjie.

As long as you find this person, everything will fall into place, and the rest will be talked about later.

But now I can't find this person, and it's useless to say anything.

"Is it destined by God, I want to enter the palace? Alas, forget it, heaven has a destiny, and it is difficult for people to disobey. Huang Lian, let's go!"

"Yes, miss. ”

The little maid agreed, and when she came to her senses, she would go back with her own lady.

But as soon as the two of them turned around, the door of the small courtyard suddenly opened.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

The soft voice of questioning, like a heavenly sound, the eldest lady of the Huang family hurriedly turned around.

At this glance, she actually saw a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color. It was inside the gate of this simple mud-walled courtyard that a girl in a splendid robe, with a round complexion and a bewitching body stood there, in stark contrast to everything around her. made people's eyes light up unconsciously, and even the two women of the Huang family, the master and servant, were stunned.

The girl who opened the door couldn't help but smile lightly when she saw the other two women staring at her, and asked again, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

The tone raised a little, and finally pulled the eldest lady of the Huang family back from her amazement, she hurriedly saluted and asked politely: "This eldest sister, may I ask if there is a family surnamed Qu nearby." ”

"Qu?"

The girl in the door was slightly stunned, and the little maid of Huang Lian next to her interjected and explained at the right time.

"It's a son named Qu Lianjie, do you know where he lives?"

"Qu Lianjie, what are you looking for my father-in-law?"

"Huh?"

There is a saying that "people are easy to understand, but the world is unpredictable". The girl in the door said, "My family's father-in-law", and the master and servant of the Huang family were dumbfounded at that time. In an instant, the eldest lady of the Huang family's face changed three times, and there were countless questions in her heart that she didn't know how to say, but the little maid Huang Lian, regardless of it, asked directly.

"How can Gongzi Qu be your father-in-law, who are you? How many of you have Qu Lianjie here? Where is Gongzi Qu?"

All kinds of questions were like a series of cannons, and the girl in the door was also a little stunned.

Just then, footsteps approached. Another person came out of the small courtyard.

"Ome. What's wrong?"

With the sound of questioning, a young scholar appeared in front of everyone, and the eldest lady of the Huang family saw her appearance clearly, and her heart suddenly turned upside down. I can't calm down for a long time.

This person is not Qu Lianjie. Who else could it be!

The little maid Huang Lian also recognized the person. Hurriedly stepped forward.

"Qu Gongzi, you are really here. Is this your house? Why does this woman say you're his father-in-law?"

"Huh?" When the young man heard the question, he turned his head and looked at the master and servant of the Huang family. Then he bowed and saluted, "This young lady, Xiaosheng is so polite, I don't know the two surnames, do we know each other?"

"Qu Gongzi, don't you know us, I'm Huang Lian, this is my young lady, the daughter of Huangfu!"

"Huangfu's daughter? uh, I don't know. ”

"You ......"

Hearing Qu Lianjie say that she didn't know her, Huang Lian was anxious at that time, and she stepped forward to argue something, but was stopped by the eldest lady of the Huang family.

"Huang Lian!

"Huh, Miss......"

"Step aside. ”

"Yes. ”

The little girl Huang Lian stepped back aggrievedly, while the eldest lady of the Huang family thought about the two people in the door and saluted, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, the little girl came here to find an old friend, and she didn't want to go to the wrong place and disturb you." I hope that the host's family will have a lot of sea, and we will go. ”

After speaking, the eldest lady of the Huang family turned her head and left, without looking at that Qu Lianjie.

The master is gone, Huang Lian naturally can't stay alone, look at Qu Lianjie, and then look at the Qingmei next to Qu Lianjie called Xianggong, snorted coldly, turned around and went to chase her eldest lady.

Back in the carriage, Huang Lian hurriedly asked, "Miss, why did we leave like this, didn't you come to find Gongzi Qu?"

"It's not found. ”

"But you didn't say anything?"

"Needless to say, I didn't understand enough what I just saw. Since he is already a husband, why should I bring shame on myself and add trouble to others? At this point today, I finally understand what kind of state of mind Manjushri has in exhorting all sentient beings. ”

"What do you mean, miss?"

"But if you have seen each other, you will know each other, and when you see each other, you will not see each other!"

"Miss......"

"Don't say it, I want to be quiet. ”

"Oh. ”

The eldest lady of the Huang family sat in the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage, and stared closely at the family in the distance, sitting all afternoon.

Perhaps for a lady who lives in a simple house, finding a person she likes is as exciting as a person walking in the desert and finding a water source. And when the person you want becomes a husband, the feeling is as desperate as the water source turning into a mirage.

In the evening, Miss Huang still didn't say a word, the little maid Huang Lian could wait, but the driver who was driving the car couldn't wait. The coachman tapped the wheels lightly with his horsewhip and said cautiously, "Miss, it's getting dark." There's been a lot of trouble with the skinless spirits lately, so let's go back sooner. ”

"I'm not going back tonight. ”

"Miss, if you don't go back at night, the lord will blame us for being subordinates. ”

"Listen to me, find an inn nearby. You don't have to worry about it, sir. ”

"This ......," the coachman hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in response, "Yes, miss." It's just that it's a little difficult to find a clean inn in this suburban county. The little one knows that there is a Huangjiabuzhuang branch nearby, so it is better to go there and let the shopkeeper of the semicolon clean up a room for the eldest lady to live in temporarily, you see how it is. ”

"Just do as you say. ”

"Yes, miss. ”

The coachman agreed, turned and urged the horses forward.

In the carriage, the little maid Huang Lian couldn't help but ask softly, "Miss, why do you want to stay here tonight?"

"Say goodbye to one side, how to solve the pain of my lovesickness; ”

“……”

The carriage marched, and no one spoke again. After a short time, the coachman shouted and stopped in front of a cloth house.

At this time, it was not completely dark, but the door of Buzhuang was closed, and the coachman ran over and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

The eldest lady of the Huang family in the carriage couldn't wait, and got out of the car with the support of the maid, and when she heard the coachman explain the situation, she couldn't help but subconsciously look around, only to find that the streets in the suburbs of Changzhou were empty and uninhabited.

Qu Shusheng, who had been thinking about her in his heart before, didn't care about some things, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that they haven't seen any other living people except for Qu Lianjie and the childhood plum girl all day.

Things are very weird, especially when the sun slowly sets, darkness covers the earth, and the quiet suburban county gives people a strange sense of horror.

The coachman was still a little responsible, and after realizing that something was unusual, he hurriedly let the eldest lady of the Huang family get into the car, and then drove the carriage towards the back door of the cloth village.

"Miss, that skinless spirit has been making a lot of trouble lately, and it is estimated that no one dares to go out easily. The Buzhuang branch here is actually from a distant relative of mine from Master Huang, I took you into the courtyard through the back door, he is very safe here, you don't have to panic. ”

The talker, the carriage came to the back door of the cloth village, and the coachman stepped forward and pushed hard, and the back door opened in response.

The coachman entered the yard, shouted a few times, and when he saw that there was still no answer, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, clenched the horsewhip in his hand, and looked like he was going to rush into the backyard and beat people.

But before he could take a step, a figure suddenly jumped down from the roof next to him, rushed to his side in an instant, and covered his mouth.

"Don't talk, if you don't want to die, give me the truth!"

Listening to the unfamiliar words in his ears, his neck was choked, and instead of being afraid, the coachman waved his whip in his hand and yelled at the carriage outside the door while whipping it at the person beside him.

"Miss, run, there are robbers!"

This shout was quite timely, and it also fully reflected the loyalty of the coachman, but it was a pity that he forgot one thing, the two girls in the carriage had never experienced any emergency, and it was simply impossible to let them run at this time.

Sure enough, the eldest lady of the Huang family, the master and servant, shrank in the carriage, and they were already so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

The coachman was anxious and waved the horsewhip in his hand desperately, but he was the opponent of the master who could fly the eaves and walk the wall, and as soon as his arm was raised, he was kicked on the wrist by the inexplicable person, and the horsewhip flew away.

"Shut up! I'm not a robber, I'm from the Changzhou government yamen!"

"Huh?"

"This is my waist card!"

The man took out a wooden sign and shook it in front of the coachman's eyes.

The coachman often went out with Master Huang, and immediately recognized that the thing was not fake.

"Ah, it's the bad officer, the little one is reckless, and the little one is guilty. ”

"Alright, it's not your fault. Tell me, who are you!"

"The little one is from the Huang Mansion. ”

"From Huangfu?" The guy who claimed to be an errand officer frowned, and was about to ask another question, when suddenly his ears moved, and then he picked up the coachman in front of him and rushed into the carriage outside the door.

"We are all honest, if anyone dares to speak out, we will all die!"
