He is lazy, in her opinion, as long as she controls the silver, some insignificant little things and thankless drudgery, all thrown to Qi to do. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qi has a good temper and can be a man, although he is not a wife in charge, he has some prestige everywhere, and he can get started with many things.

Bai Ling ran up and down, and inquired about He's whereabouts that day.

"The third lady has been in the house since she came back yesterday and has not gone anywhere, and she has seen a few mothers-in-law, and she has said inconsequential things. I went out at night and met two mothers-in-law who were patrolling the night, saying that they were following the old lady's instructions to check around. ”

Qi Shi let out an "oh" and said, "Where did she go to inspect?"

Bai Ling said: "It's a little strange to talk about this, if you go to inspect, you should always walk around the concierge and ask, but I asked several people, and they all said that they didn't see the third lady." I asked the two mothers-in-law who had met her, and they said that they had met the third lady in the small garden on the west side. I went there to take a look, the land was a little off, I don't know why the third lady went there. ”

Qi thought for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

The master and servant came to the small garden, and Qi found that the small garden was a fork in the road, leading in several directions. Bai Ling said: "Although there are many places, no one lives in this place, and no one passes by during the day." ”

Qi Shi looked at it for a while, chose one of the paths and walked over slowly, and after a while, Bai Ling called softly: "Ah, this is not the original eldest lady...... Shen's yard? I haven't remembered it for many years. ”

Qi took the lead and stepped forward and said, "Let's go in and take a look." ”

Bai Ling was a little afraid to say with a timid expression on his face: "This yard has been deserted for many years, and some people said that it is haunted a few days ago, and Madame really wants to see it?"

Qi Shi's eyes were dark, and he sneered: "Haunted? No one has come to this courtyard for a long time, how can anyone know that it is haunted? It can be seen that someone has come." Oh, I don't know what I'm doing here. ”

Bailing was still a little puzzled, and Qi said: "Don't be afraid, there are ghosts in broad daylight and don't dare to come out, let's go in and have a look." ”

The two pushed the door in, and suddenly there was a pop sound, Bai Ling couldn't help but let out an "oops", calm down and look again, but it was the sound of a few sparrows hiding in the grass foraging for food.

Bai Ling patted his chest and just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he glanced at a black figure, he screamed "ah" in fright.

Qi also saw the shadow, his heart trembled, and he took a few steps back with Bai Ling. But she was more courageous than Bailing, and she quickly calmed down, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be the dumb woman guarding the door.

The dumb woman was dressed in black, her face was old, and her cloudy eyes glanced at the two of them blankly, and lowered her head deeply.

Seeing that it was a human and not a ghost, Bai Ling let out a breath and complained: "Dumb woman, why are you standing here without any sound, it scares me a lot." After speaking, he felt that his accusation was a little unreasonable, the dumb woman was a dumb woman, of course there was no voice, and she stopped talking.

The mute woman looked up at her, and then hung her head expressionlessly.

Bai Ling remembered that the dumb woman was still deaf, so she couldn't hear what she said.

Bai Ling looked at the dumb woman again curiously.

When the old lady went out to travel, he ran into a dumb woman, and saw that she was alone and miserable, and she was very pitiful, so he picked her up and gave her an errand to do, so that she could have food and a tile to shelter from the rain. No one wants to deal with the dumb woman, and the dumb woman never communicates with anyone, always coming and going like a shadow with her head down. Later, after the Shen family's accident, the people in this courtyard were dismissed, and no one was willing to come to guard the door, so they arranged for the dumb woman to be here. The dumb woman cooks and lives by herself, and she doesn't leave the hospital, she is in the Qin Mansion, but she doesn't seem to have her.

After a long time, this courtyard was gradually forgotten by everyone, and no one remembered the dumb woman.

Qi was also looking at the dumb woman, and she was a little worried about how to ask the dumb woman.

"Dumb woman, did anyone come here yesterday?" Qi tried to say slowly, and made a gesture, hoping that the dumb woman could discern what she meant by her mouth and gestures. Some people who are deaf and mute can read human speech through mouth shapes and gestures.

But the dumb woman obviously couldn't do it, she looked straight at Qi's family, her gloomy appearance made Qi's heart tremble, and finally gave up and left with Bailing.

The two of them went out of the door, and they were a little embarrassed when they watched the dumb woman reclose the door from the inside with an expressionless face.

Bai Ling said: "This dumb woman is really scary. ”

"Let's go. The thoughts in Qi's heart could not be verified, and he was very depressed.

Bai Ling couldn't wait to get out of here quickly, and hurriedly helped Qi Shi to go back. The two of them had not walked a few steps, and Qi Shi let out a "huh", turned around and walked back to the bottom of the steps, bending down to rummage through a tuft of dead grass.

Bai Ling hurriedly said, "Madame, what is she looking for, let me come, carefully dirty my hands." ”

Qi picked up a few red gems from the grass.

The jewel is the size of a grain of rice, strung together with a hair-like gold thread, and it sparkles in the sun, and it looks like it has fallen from a woman's jewelry.

Qi's eyes sparkled, she held the object in the palm of her hand and looked back at the door. Bai Ling called "Madam" for some reason, and Qi turned around and smiled: "Let's go, let's go back." "The mood is very different from before.

The two gradually walked away, and the door behind them opened a thin slit, and they couldn't even see the clue from a distance. An eye peeked out of the gap, and this eye was the eye of the dumb woman. The eyes of this word are still cloudy, full of gloom and loneliness, but it is different from before, with a touch of sharpness and insight, and it seems so unpredictable and weird.

The light in his eyes then receded, and became cloudy and dead again. The door closed again, closing all the mysteries.

On this day, before dawn, everyone in Lanwan Garden got up early to prepare Laba porridge to be drunk during the Laba Festival.

Qin E remembered that on this day last year, the Shen family was still happily drinking porridge with them, but this year they were already buried in the loess and couldn't help themselves.

Qin Yan also looked depressed, and Nian Xi called her several times without saying a word. Qin E looked at it for a moment, and then looked at the others, the second grandmother, Qiu Ju and Dong Mei were all sad, and Gray Wen and Cui'er shrank aside, their faces were also very heavy.

Seeing this, Qin E perked up and said with a smile: "Why are you all depressed during the festival today?"

Nianxi also felt that everyone's mood was not good, and she didn't jump up and down as usual, and replied timidly: "I like it." After thinking about it, he said, "I like red dates." ”

Nianxi's language is not good, but Qin E is always patient with her. Qin E bent down and stroked the top of her head with a smile, her soft hair so warm.

How precious is life, how can you not cherish it again?

Qin E said gently: "Let's put a lot of red dates in the porridge for a while, okay?"

Nianxi looked up happily and smiled: "Okay, okay." ”

When everyone saw it, they all smiled.

Qin E said: "Cheer up, today is the Laba Festival." We have to boil a big pot of porridge, and we have to send it to Hui Niang, to the county lord of Jianing, and to the Qin family's rooms, if it is not delicious, it will be laughed at. ”

Dongmei heard this: "Don't worry, eldest lady, don't dare to say anything else, I still have the skill of boiling porridge, and I can't lose your face." ”

The second grandmother knew that Qin E wanted everyone to be happy, so she teased Qi Rong and said: "Last month, you boiled the porridge, causing the eldest lady to drink a bitter white porridge, but I don't dare to hand it over to you to cook." None of you little girls are worry-free, and I have to hold up the pomp and circumstance with my old bones. ”

Qin E smiled: "Of course, this matter still depends on the second grandmother." ”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed. When Hui Niang came, she saw the joyful scene of the master and slave in a courtyard.
