Mrs. Cheng was silent for a while, looked at Mother Du, and said, "Take it." ”

Cheng Wentao was uneasy.

Cheng Hualan noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, this was not the atmosphere that Mingyu should have if he successfully escaped.

Cheng Shulan hurriedly looked at Du's mother.

Du's mother called a little maid, and the little maid came up with a wooden pallet, on which were placed an ordinary hairpin, two pairs of embroidered shoes, several pieces of broken fabric, two torn packages, and two or three rouge gouaches.

Cheng Wentao, Cheng Hualan, and Cheng Shulan looked stunned and stared at the tray.

"Mingyu." Cheng Shulan looked at the rouge gouache box and shouted softly.

Cheng Wentao froze.

Cheng Hualan had an ominous premonition.

Du's mother took the wooden pallet and came to Cheng Shulan.

At this time, Mrs. Cheng's voice also sounded: "Yesterday, I traveled for a day, and then I knelt down in front of the hall, and the servants and maids were tired. When I returned to the courtyard to rest, the little maid's room was flooded, which caused disaster to Du's mother's room, and when it alarmed everyone, the fire was already big. The servants and maids were busy putting out the fire, and when the fire was extinguished and the number of people was checked, the two maids Mingyu and Luye were missing. ”

Alone?

Cheng Wentao, Cheng Hualan, and Cheng Shulan looked at Mrs. Cheng.

Mrs. Cheng bowed her head to express her grief.

Cheng Molan didn't bother to explain.

Seeing this, Du's mother said: "We didn't find Mingyu and Luye in the other courtyard, and when we entered their room, we found that the two of them had cleaned up their burdens and ran away while they were in chaos. In the morning, the little monks of the Dayin Temple found broken clothes and white bones and blood stains in the mountains. ”

Cheng Wentao breathed.

Cheng Shulan was directly paralyzed.

"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss!" Lu Zhu and the others hurriedly supported Cheng Shulan.

Cheng Shulan snuggled on Luzhu, grabbed Luzhu's arm and said: "Luzhu, Luzhu, Mingyu, Mingyu, Mingyu she Mingyu won't, Mingyu won't die." ”

"She won't die if she doesn't want to run, but she's restless." Cheng Molan Liangliang answered: "It's okay for everyone to stay on the mountain, but she was bitten by a fierce beast, and she didn't die by herself." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Cheng Shulan suddenly retorted loudly.

Cheng Molan was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Fourth sister, it's not up to you to say nonsense, she doesn't run, so many servants, why is she in the mountains and forests with incomplete bones?" ”

"Then I'm going to ask you!" Cheng Shulan raised her voice and said.

Cheng Molan was stunned.

Mrs. Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Cheng Shulan sharply.

"Mingyu, doesn't she know that there are many fierce beasts in the mountains? She has always abided by the rules and will never leave the courtyard without permission. Cheng Shulan was extremely sad, her tears couldn't stop flowing, and the tragic situation in front of her aroused her anger at the same time, she turned to Mrs. Cheng and asked: "Mother, you handed over Mingyu's deed of sale to Shulan, saying that it was handled by Shulan, but you ......"

Cheng Hualan opened her mouth at this time to grab white: "Fourth sister, you calm down first, this kind of thing happens, and my mother doesn't want to see it." ”

"That's it, fourth sister, it's just one or two maids who died by themselves, are you crying in front of your mother like this? What kind of system. Cheng Molan glanced at her.

Cheng Shulan turned her head to look at Cheng Molan: "Cheng Molan, I am the township monarch, the queen mother's personal seal of the Great Zhou Township, what kind of system do you have when you talk to me like this?" ”

Cheng Molan's face turned pale instantly.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Shulan even more viciously, the maidservant was cheap, Cheng Shulan actually collided with Cheng Molan for a bright jade, and even assumed the identity of the countryman, which made Mrs. Cheng very unhappy.

Cheng Hualan secretly protected Cheng Shulan and acted when the opportunity came.

Mrs. Cheng stared at Cheng Shulan for a moment, and clusters of flames danced in her eyes.

Cheng Shulan is fearless.

At this moment, there was a "plop".

Cheng Wentao, who had been ignored, suddenly knocked down the table and chair, and he stumbled unsteadily and fell to the ground. Cheng Wentao has never been embarrassed and rude.

The crowd was horrified.

Especially Mrs. Cheng, her face turned pale, she was one step faster than the servant, stepped forward to help Cheng Wentao, and shouted: "Wen Tao, Wen Tao." ”

Cheng Wentao turned his head, Mrs. Cheng was startled, she had never seen her son's eyes so gloomy, sadness overshadowed the original look, as if there was great pain: "Mother, I'm fine, I'll go back to the yard first." Cheng Wentao said weakly.

Then Cheng Wentao stood up, walked out of the door slowly.

The room was quiet.

For most people, the lives of Yan Mingyu and Luye are not as important as Cheng Wentao's abnormality. Doctor Cheng thought the same thing, she waved her hand and said, "I'm tired too, you all go back." ”

Mother Du hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Cheng into the inner room.

"Big lady." Du's mother said.

Mrs. Cheng was stabbed by Cheng Wentao's gaze and did not come back to her senses for a while.

Mother Du understood Mrs. Cheng's thoughts and said, "Mrs. Cheng, don't be sad. Mingyu's death was tragic, and it was normal for the eldest young master to not accept it for a while. Think about how deep the old man's feelings for the fourth aunt are, after the fourth aunt died, didn't the old man enter another aunt's room? In the end, the eldest young master follows the master, it is the same when he is infatuated, and it must be the same when he is desperate. After saying that, Du's mother was annoyed, and she said that she was too much to talk about the master, and she suddenly stopped making a sound.

Mrs. Cheng suddenly remembered that back then, when she first married Cheng Yanhuan, Cheng Yanhuan was also kind to herself, and it didn't take long for him to enter the newcomer, he was not very ruthless, and even her door rarely entered.

Thinking that her son might be the same as him, she didn't complain, but let go and said, "This is the best." ”

At the same time, Cheng Hualan and Cheng Shulan went back to the courtyard together.

Cheng Hualan said: "Fourth sister, don't be too sad. The people are gone. ”

Cheng Shulan didn't answer, and walked for a while and said, "Second sister, I'll go back." ”

"Hmm." Cheng Hualan turned her head and told Luzhu to take care of her fourth lady, and she went back to Yazhu Pavilion.

On the way, Ping Xiang asked with palpitations: "Second Miss, Mingyu Green Leaf is really ...... Is it? ”

Cheng Hualan shook her head: "I don't know." "The things on the tray are Mingyu and green leaves, yes, but there is one thing missing, that is, before leaving, she gave Mingyu the lotus leaf money bag, the lotus leaf money bag is incense, beasts and animals should be disgusted by this fragrance, and they will definitely not move the money bag, but there is no money bag in the wooden tray, thinking of this, Cheng Hualan felt a little happy in her heart, but after thinking about it, what if the little monk hid the money bag, what if the money bag fell elsewhere when the beast bites? The possibility of this "what if" happening is completely greater than Cheng Hualan's conjecture, especially the presence of green leaves.

Cheng Hualan felt a sense of sadness and powerlessness in her heart, in fact, God shouldn't have done this to Mingyu.

The tragic deaths of Yan Mingyu and Lu Ye, after setting off a storm in Cheng Mansion, quickly returned to the calm on the surface, and the matter passed, but some people couldn't get by.

"It's been half a month, and the eldest young master has been stuffy in the room, and he doesn't let people serve him."

"He always looks at the jade pendant."

"I heard that when I went to Dayin Temple to pray for blessings that day, the eldest young master took a water bag and specially sent water to Mingyu to drink, Mingyu didn't drink it, Mingyu said a few words, and the angry young master threw the water bag on the ground and rode back to the house."

"So the eldest young master is like this because of Mingyu?"

"Tut-tut, Mingyu died so miserably, the bones were gnawed by the beasts."

“……”

A few little maids gathered together and whispered, and they couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Mingyu Luye's death.

"Say what? There's no work to do, right?! Du's mother drank.

The frightened little maid hurriedly knelt down: "Mother Du." ”

Du's mother was full of anger: "Go to work." ”

"Yes, Mother Du." The little maidens slipped away as if they had been pardoned.

Mother Du walked to the door of the eldest young master, knocked lightly, and whispered: "The eldest young master, the eldest young master, the eldest lady asked if you could leave the house today?" ”

Mother Du stopped at the door for a long time, but when she didn't see any reaction inside, Mother Du said again: "Master Du, the old slave has come in." Saying that, Du's mother pushed open Cheng Wentao's door.

The room was cold and cold, as if there was no trace of popularity.

Cheng Wentao sat straight in front of the window, looking out the window, holding a jade pendant in his hand.

"Young Master." Du's mother stepped forward and called softly.

Cheng Wentao came back to his senses at this time: "Mother Du." ”

"The eldest lady asked if you left the house today? The eldest lady said that if you go out of the house, help her bring some spices back from your friend. Du's mother said with a smile.

Cheng Wentao replied expressionlessly: "No." ”

Mother Du's face froze, and she wanted to say something more, but Cheng Wentao didn't pay attention to it at all, and Mother Du sneered: "The old slave has replied to the eldest lady." ”

Cheng Wentao ignored it.

Mother Du went out of the room, closed the door, and hurriedly returned to Mrs. Cheng.

Mrs. Cheng slammed the tea bowl and said angrily: "Where else does he look like a young master, a maid, a cheap maid, if he dies, he will die, as for him not eating, drinking, or going out like this, is he practicing himself?" ”

Du's mother has nothing to say. She thought that Young Master Cheng would be relieved in three or five days, but she didn't expect it, half a month has passed, Young Master Cheng is getting more and more depressed day by day, and he is obsessed with the jade pendant all day long, day and night are reversed, Mother Du thought about it and proposed: "Big lady, the master will come back from the field in two days, or, talk to the master about this matter, let him take care of the eldest young master?" ”

"No way!" Mrs. Cheng immediately refused: "Wen Tao has always been the pride of the master, if the master knows that Wen Tao is so decadent for a maid, he will look up to me even more." ”

Du's mother bowed her head and remained silent.

Mrs. Cheng said, "I'll take a look." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Cheng came to Cheng Wentao in a hurry, and when she pushed the door open, Cheng Wentao sat straight in front of the window like Du's mother when she came, looking out of the window, holding a jade pendant in her hand.

"Wen Tao, Wen Tao, Wen Tao." Mrs. Cheng shouted three times in a row, and Cheng Wentao reacted, slowly turned his head, looked at Mrs. Cheng, and shouted with a dilated gaze: "Mother." ”

Cheng Wentao has eaten and drunk very little in the past half a month, and he has lost a lot of weight in the room all day, Mrs. Cheng was distressed for a while, and her full anger disappeared, and she stepped forward and said, "Wentao, what are you going to do?" ”

Cheng Wentao didn't speak.

"Do you blame your mother? Is it to blame the mother for not taking good care of Mingyu in the mountains? Mrs. Cheng said softly.

Cheng Wentao was silent.

Mrs. Cheng was distressed and said, "Wen Tao, you are so depressed, you are stabbing your mother's heart with a knife." Saying that, Mrs. Cheng also cried: "It's the mother's fault, Mingyu shouldn't die, it should be the mother's death." ”

"Big lady." Du's mother shouted from the side.

Mrs. Cheng still said: "I never knew that the son I raised for nineteen years was not as important as a woman in his heart. ”

Cheng Wentao was slightly moved, and his eyes were focused: "Mother." ”

Mrs. Cheng cried on the spot, crying heartbreakingly: "Wen Tao, you are like this, it is better to let your mother die." ”

Mrs. Cheng's appearance frightened Cheng Wentao, Mrs. Cheng had never cried like this, Cheng Wentao hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Cheng's arm, her dry eyes, and finally got wet, crying and said: "Mother, Mingyu is the woman whose son is attracted for the first time, the son misses her, and the son can't help but miss her." ”

Mrs. Cheng's face was full of tears, but she was shocked by these words, he was still thinking about that slut for half a month, watching her son pull her arm and be sad and sad, she reached out and patted Cheng Wentao's shoulder, and said: "Mother understands, mother understands the bitterness in your heart, mother understands." ”

Wait for Mrs. Cheng and Mother Du to leave Cheng Wentao's place.

Mother Du said: "Big lady, I didn't expect the eldest young master to have such a deep affection for Mingyu. ”

Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly and said fiercely: "Seeing Wen Tao like this, I really can't wait to take that slut out of the underworld and throw it on the mountain again, so that the poisonous snakes and beasts can gnaw her heart again." ”

Mother Du saw that the eldest lady was angry, and comforted: "Eldest lady, after your comfort this time, the eldest young master is much better, and he also promised you to cheer up, so don't be too angry, get angry and hurt yourself." ”

Mrs. Cheng's face immediately softened.

Seeing this, Mother Du intended to relieve the eldest lady's emotions, so she changed the topic and said: "The eldest lady, since the eldest young master is not out of the house today, either the slave and maid will go out of the house once, go to the beauty shop, and buy you some to wipe your face, I see that these days, you have been disturbed by Mingyu's matter, and your face has darkened." ”

Mrs. Cheng immediately touched her face and said, "No, there have been too many worries recently, and I have more fine lines under my eyes, otherwise, you can go, by the way, ask the owner of the beauty shop, the gouache I bought from her last time is not as easy to use as before." What's going on? ”

Mother Du immediately responded: "Yes, eldest lady, the slave and maid will leave the house." ”

"Well, go and get back."

"Yes, Madame."

So, Du's mother took the door order of the eldest lady, prepared it, went out of the house from the back door, and saw the janitor Shunzi from the back door, and lost a lot of weight all of a sudden, so she asked: "Shunzi, why did you suddenly lose so much weight, so haggard." ”

Junzi replied sadly: "Mother Du, Mingyu, Mingyu, Mingyu, she is gone." Mingyu is such a good person, why is it gone. ”

It's Mingyu again!

Du's mother snorted sarcastically, glanced at Shunzi, and then left the house.

After Du's mother left the house, she went straight to the beauty square, although there were many guests in the beauty room, but the owner still specially entertained Du's mother, took the best rouge gouache for Du's mother, and gave Du's mother a smile, of course, Du's mother also gave a lot of silver, but the owner of the beauty workshop still gave Du's mother a lot of kickbacks.

Mother Du accepted indifferently.

After coming out of the beauty shop, Du's mother thought that she would be hungry at night, and her mouth was greedy, and she just had the silver given by the owner of the beauty shop, so she decided to buy some snacks to prepare and keep them to satisfy her hunger.

"Boss, you have to remember, my sister Yu only likes to eat small chestnuts, just fried, don't give me big chestnuts next time, and you can't give them overnight." Otherwise, I won't give you any money. ”

This voice is so familiar, so familiar, Mother Du pondered, and suddenly thought - green leaves! Yes, the sound is leafy!

Before, Green Leaf passed the word in the house every day, and she remembered Green Leaf's voice more clearly than the voices of other maids.

That's right, it's the sound of green leaves!

Mother Du immediately turned her head, and really saw a familiar figure flashing in front of her eyes, green leaves.

"Green leaves!" She shouted, shocked and frightened. 166 Reading Network
