Meng Jingke's eyes sank slightly. www.biquge.info"Your young lady is not in the capital, why is she here?"

Dongmei's expression became a little angry: "The second son drowned, Aunt Fang said that Mrs. killed her, and the master believed her words, saying that Mrs. was a narrow-minded housemother and couldn't tolerate concubines, so she lost her morality, so she asked Mrs. to think about it in the old house in Liaodong." The eldest lady was not convinced, and the old lady said that the woman should follow her mother's line, and the eldest lady and the second lady will also be the seeds of chaos in the future, so let the two young ladies also go to the old house to cultivate themselves, so as not to spoil the face of the Qin family. ”

Meng Jingke was noncommittal. As the wife of the family, the Shen family should be in the house even if she thinks about it behind closed doors, how can there be a reason to send it all the way to the old house.

Meng Jingke sneered, no wonder Qin Yun couldn't support the Qin family as a fourth-grade official. Afraid of offending the emperor and losing his sacred heart, and not wanting to lose the iron arrogance of the literati, he disposed of the Shen family in such a salty, out-of-sight, and heartless manner, without responsibility or courage. also left his two young daughters in this poor countryside and ignored them, which shows that this person has a selfish and cold temperament.

Qin Huaili is also a respected Confucian, and he actually has such a son.

Meng Jingke then asked Dongmei: "How long have you been here?"

"It's been three years. ”

"Why did your young lady enter the mountain the day before yesterday?"

"Go into the mountains to pick Ganoderma lucidum. ”

"What are you doing with Lingzhi?"

"There is no money at home, Mrs. and the second lady have to take medicine, and the eldest lady said that if you pick Ganoderma lucidum, you can exchange money for Mrs. and the second lady to catch medicine, and they also have money to spend the winter. ”

"Why didn't you stop her?"

"The eldest lady secretly went out in the middle of the night without us, and when we saw the letter, it was already ...... She can't be found anymore. ”

Meng Jingke raised her eyebrows, and went secretly, it seemed like something she could do.

At this time, Dongmei's brows were frowned, her eyes were scattered, and her expression was a little painful. Meng Jingke knew that the side effects of the interrogation had already begun.

When he interrogates people through his mind, the interrogated person will be very mentally exhausted, and over time, he will become dizzy, unconscious, and even die.

Meng Jingke had no intention of hurting her, nor did he want people to see the problem, so he retracted his thoughts and ordered casually: "Go and make me a cup of tea, don't let people see it on the road." ”

Dongmei nodded in agreement and walked out of the door with a flurry step.

Meng Jingke closed his eyes to relieve the headache, and using his mind when his body was weak was also a disservice to him. However, he was really anxious to verify whether his ability was still there, and he couldn't care much more.

Now it seems that his ability has not disappeared, but it just doesn't work for the little girl.

Meng Jingke's eyes appeared in front of him with tears and smiles.

mantis moth eyebrows,

Clever smile,

Beautiful eyes.

Meng Jingke smiled slightly, I heard that the Shen family was a famous beauty back then, and the little girl must be a dignified and beautiful beauty in the future.

Here, Qin E visited Shen and Qin Yan, both of whom had no idea about her entering the mountain, and Qin E was a little relieved to see that the two of them were safe.

When I returned to the room, I saw Qiu Ju with red eyes guarding the door.

"Miss, don't do this next time, my soul is scared. You have to have a good one, but how can Mrs. and the second lady be good?"

Qin E pulled her into the house and diligently poured her a cup of hot water: "It's me who is not good, not next time." Don't cry and beware of being seen. ”

Qiu Ju took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, took out a money bag from her arms, and said, "Aunt Mei is here, this is the monthly case of this month, there is no difference between zero and every point, Aunt Mei is really dedicated." ”

Qin E took the money bag and poured it out with a bang. There were two pieces of broken silver and three strings of copper coins.

"Is she still there?"

"I haven't left yet, and I'm in the front yard watching the people move rice and noodles. ”

Qin E's eyes lit up, she stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go meet her." ”

When the two came to the front yard, Aunt Mei was standing in a sheltered place, with her hands in a leather tube, a pure purple short jacket, a black horse-faced skirt, and a circle of brown rabbit fur at the neckline. The jet-black hair is tightly coiled in a bun against the scalp, the skin is snow-white, as delicate as porcelain, the eyebrows are curved, and the face is calm.

Qin E suddenly found that Aunt Mei seemed to have always been so angry, neither humble nor arrogant, quiet and ignored, but every time she thought about it, she always had a straight back, decent and elegant.

This kind of bearing, even those officials and wives in the capital who are above the top are not very few who can follow suit.

Qin E became more and more curious and appreciative of Aunt Mei.

Qin E took a few steps forward and called out to Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei turned around and saw that it was Qin E, and smiled slightly and saluted: "Miss." ”

As in memory, he was gentle and polite to her, and very friendly.

Qin E felt a kind of joy at seeing the old people, and said softly: "It's cold outside, my aunt will go into the house and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”

Aunt Mei was a little surprised, seeing Qin E looking at her with crooked eyebrows, she looked very happy, thought about it and smiled: "I was thinking, it would be nice if there was a cup of hot tea, so thank you Miss." ”

The two went back to Qin E's room and sat down, and Qiu Ju served tea and withdrew. Aunt Mei held the teacup in both hands and drank it in small sips, looking very dignified.

Qin E said: "My aunt doesn't look like a local. ”

Aunt Mei smiled: "My ancestral home is Changzhou, and I only moved here a few years ago. ”

"I thought, my aunt's eyebrows and eyes are so delicate, she doesn't look like a northerner, so she really guessed correctly. Qin E smiled and said, "Then why did my aunt come to Liaodong?"

"My husband is from Qinjia Village, and when he was doing business in Changzhou, my father thought he was very good, so he married me to him. Aunt Mei paused, and said slowly: "In the eleventh year of Chengwu, there was a big flood in the south of the Yangtze River, my mother's family was gone, and after my husband died of illness, I had nowhere to go, so I took the letter written by my husband on his deathbed and fled to Qinjia Village with my daughter. Thanks to the care of the clan over the years, our mother and daughter can have a tile to shelter from the wind and rain. ”

Qin E knew that Aunt Mei was a widow, but it was the first time she knew that she had a daughter.

"It turns out that my aunt has a daughter. ”

"She married to the Northwest three years ago, so the eldest lady doesn't know. ”

This surprised Qin E: "How can you marry so far away?"

Aunt Mei put down the tea and said with a smile: "The baby relatives that my husband set when he was alive later fled to different places, and his family settled in the northwest. Even if you are reluctant, you can only get married. Fortunately, the other party's family style is good, and the son-in-law is also good, I am very relieved. ”

It is perfect everywhere, and there is logic everywhere, but for some reason, Qin E feels that there are doubts everywhere and hidden secrets everywhere. But seeing that although Mei was smiling, he had already restrained his expression, put down the teacup, and knew that he had asked a lot today, and it was not good to ask more, so he brought the teapot and refilled Mei with another cup of hot tea, and said, "Actually, I have something to ask my aunt for help today." ”
