readx; In Lan Wan Yuan, Qin E raised her head from the embroidery frame and shook her somewhat sore shoulder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The second grandmother squinted her eyes and took a closer look, and praised: "The eldest lady's embroidery work is really beautiful, the color matching is good, and the appearance is good, the second lady must like it." ”

Qin E gently touched the embroidery shelf with almost half of the embroidered patterns, and said: "In the past few years, the situation has been precarious, and every year during the Chinese New Year, Yan'er wears my old clothes. Why do you want to make her a beautiful new dress this year, and have a beautiful New Year. ”

He said to the second grandmother: "This matter must be hidden, I want to surprise her." ”

The second grandmother smiled and nodded.

Qin E looked at the sky and said, "Why hasn't Qiu Ju come back yet?"

As he was talking, Qiu Ju picked up the curtain and entered the house.

Qin E smiled: "Where have you been, I'm only coming back now, I'm still waiting for you to help me match the color." Do you think it looks better in purple or blue?"

After not hearing Qiu Ju speak for a long time, Qin E looked up and saw that Qiu Ju's face was a little bad.

She put down the thread in her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Ju said: "Miss, I just went out, and I heard someone say, someone said, someone said, ......"

"Say what?"

"Said that the yard of the lady is haunted. ”

Qin E's face sank.

The lady in Qiu Ju's mouth is only Shen.

Qiu Ju said: "I heard from the mother-in-law who guarded the door that someone was crying in the middle of the night a few days ago, and someone saw a woman with a pale face appearing in the yard. Everyone said that it was the spirit of the lady who had returned. ”

Haunted?

At this moment, Qin E's heart was a little trance-like.

She didn't believe in ghosts and gods before.

If people really have souls, if they can really become ghosts after death, then there will not be so many wicked people in this world who are at ease.

But after she was reborn, she was a little skeptical about this.

How else would she have been born again?

Sometimes she wonders if her mother will be like her when she dies, where will she be alive?

Hearing Qiu Ju say this at this moment, Qin E's heart was first excited.

Perhaps, the mother is really unresolved and has come back?

The second mother believed in these more than Qin E, and was more excited.

"Madame is really back? They really saw Madame? Madame must have come back to see us because she couldn't let go of it. ”

The second grandmother's shout shocked Qin E back to her senses.

Wrong.

If my mother really came back, she should also come to Lan Wan Yuan to see herself, why did she go to the old yard to do it?

Qin E's hand holding the needle was slightly forced, and the tip of the needle stabbed her fingers, making her consciousness clear for a moment.

What kind of haunting, someone is making ghosts.

Qin E's heart swelled with anger.

It's been almost a year since her mother died, and the people in the house still don't let her go, pretending to be a ghost in her name.

She will not let these people go.

But why did they do it?

Why is it said that the mother's former home is haunted?

Seeing that Qin E was silent, Qiu Ju whispered, "Miss?"

Qin E asked her and the second grandmother: "Is there anything else in my mother's yard from the past?"

The second grandmother and Qiu Ju were stunned.

Qiu Ju said: "When we left, we didn't bring anything except some clothes. It stands to reason that Madame's things should be there. ”

The second grandmother also calmed down from her thoughts about the Shen family, and said, "After we come back, I will take a look quietly." There was nothing left in the house, so I asked the old woman who was guarding the house, and said that everything was stored in the warehouse. ”

Qin E gently twisted the embroidery needle: "That is to say, everything my mother has, where is it?"

Both nodded.

Qiu Ju asked, "Is the eldest lady suspicious of something?"

Qin E said: "In this world, although everyone knows the theory of ghosts, who has really seen ghosts? But I can't figure out what the ghost does. ”

Qiu Ju said: "The eldest lady suspects that someone is plotting against the things in Madame's yard?"

Qin E said: "I also think about it casually. ”

The second grandmother frowned and said, "Madame's dowry is locked in the treasury at the back of the courtyard, is someone paying attention to it?"

It was the first time Qin E had heard of this. At that time, she was still young and didn't know a lot about the Shen family, but when she heard the words of the second grandmother at this moment, she asked, "Mother's dowry?"

Qiu Ju is the eldest maid who serves the Shen family, she knows these things better than her, and her face changed when she heard the words, and said: "Madame had ten miles of red makeup back then, and the dowry was very rich, and there were more than 100 cages alone, each of which was worth a fortune. When we left, these things were left in the house. ”

Qin E was a little surprised: "Mother has so much dowry?"

The second grandmother said: "It's mine, no, I forgot that the eldest lady was young back then, and she didn't know this, so she didn't tell you." The Shen family has a big business, and after the little uncle took over the housework, he traveled south and north, and the family property did not know how rich. When his wife got married, the Shen family purchased a dowry of hundreds of thousands of taels. The old lady and the three uncles gave a lot of subsidies in private, and the value of the lady was the first share of the nobles in the capital. ”

After speaking, he snorted coldly and said: "Fang's self-proclaimed daughter is the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan, but her little dowry is not worth mentioning in front of her wife. ”

Qin E had some impressions of the wealth of her grandfather's family, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful.

The second grandmother said: "My little uncle was born with good material for business, and at the age of fifteen, he took the caravan north and south to carry goods. He also once chartered three whole cargo ships to do ocean trade. And our Shen family pharmacies are all over the country, and any one of them is enough for others to live for a few lifetimes. ”

Qin E's memory of her little uncle became clearer little by little.

When I was a child, my uncle always disappeared suddenly for a long time and then came back suddenly. Every time she disappeared, my mother was depressed for a few days, and every time I came back, my mother was very happy.

Every time Uncle Xiao came back, he would bring her and Qin Yan a lot of things.

She has a small mirror inlaid with treasures, which shines on people, and she can't put it down, which is the birthday gift given to her by her uncle.

In retrospect, isn't it just a Western product?

It should have been brought back by my uncle when he went on the boat.

It turned out that my grandfather's family was so rich.

Qin E had another thought in her heart.

My grandfather's family suffered a big disaster in the end, could it be related to these?

The thoughts were disturbed, too chaotic and impactful, making Qin E a little confused for a while.

At this time, I heard Qiu Ju say: "I heard about the haunting, and I was flustered for a while, but now that I think about it, this thing is really strange everywhere." Miss, what are we going to do next?"

Qin E steadied her mind, and her heart said that the top priority now was to deal with the haunted matter at the moment.

Calm down, brake quietly, and tell Cui'er to go to the courtyards to sit and ask what has happened in the courtyards recently. You find out where the rumors of haunting are coming from. ”

Qiu Ju Lian should be.

Three days later, Cui'er came over to report: "Aunt Fang has been taking care of the third lady, and the second lady is the same as usual, and there is nothing special. ”

Cui'er said in a paused tone: "The magpie beside the third lady has been to the front yard several times recently, and each time I went to see Chen Yongcai. I followed from afar and found that the two of them were a little unpleasant. ”

"I secretly checked myself, and it turned out that Chen Yongcai was helping the third lady with loan sharks. ”

"Loan shark?"

Cui'er nodded heavily: "Yes, it's been put several times." However, the last time something happened, the other party ran away with the money, and the third lady lost all her money. The magpie looked for him, just to force Chen Yongcai to pay back the money. ”

"How much did she lose?"

"There are about three thousand taels. ”

"Where did you hear about this?"

A blush appeared on Cui'er's face. "Chen Yongcai has an apprentice, my cousin. ”

Qin E smiled but said nothing.

After Cui'er stepped back, Qin E tapped lightly on the table, her eyes flashing sharply. (To be continued.) )
