Aunt Xu fell asleep with a pillow, Butler Xu lay outside the bed tossing and turning, covered with two quilts, still cold, groggy brain, until the first dawn of the morning, woke up Aunt Xu, explained some words, drowsiness gradually came up, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

In the inner courtyard, in Baoyang Xuan, Di Ying stretched out his arms and let two servants help him dress, tie and put on shoes, and a few subordinates carried basins, poured water, sent breakfast, and went in and out, so he was not busy.

"Where's the butler?" Di Ying sat in front of the bronze mirror, and the servants and maids behind him were busy tying their hair, and when they heard the words, they lowered their heads slightly, "The slaves and maids don't know."

"Go and summon Steward Xu." Di Ying commanded, and as soon as the words fell, a servant hurriedly trotted out.

After two incense sticks, the servant forced his breath and leaned over to stand at the round table, "Steward Xu said in the inner room - Steward Xu is sick and can't wake up in bed. ”

"Oh?"

"The slave has seen it, Steward Xu is indeed unconscious, covered with three quilts, and is still cold, and cold sweat is breaking out."

"Send a doctor to check the pulse." Di Ying took a sip of rice porridge and said flatly.

The servant rubbed the corners of his clothes, looking very hesitant, "Steward Xu said ······ in the inner room", his voice was very long, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Huh?" Di Ying raised his head, his eyes were unwavering, but he could see that the servant's scalp was tight, and the sweat was like rain, but remembering what the mother-in-law said was not a trivial matter, he also had eyes, and said in public, just wait for his head to move, but he didn't dare to beg the master to expel others, he couldn't advance or retreat, and he had no idea for a while, so he had to bite his lower lip and keep silent.

Di Ying's face gradually became cold and hard, and his powerful momentum was overwhelming.

The subordinates standing on the side couldn't help but be worried and shrank back from their hands.

In less than half an hour, the back of the returning servant was covered with cold sweat, and his eyes were white.

"Say what!" Di Ying's patience ran out, and he slammed the jade chopstick on the table and roared.

Before the words fell, the entire servant of Baoyang Xuan knelt on the ground inside and out, and the servant was even more lying on the ground and shrunk into a ball, trembling all over, "Steward Xu's inner room said that since the night before the fight, Steward Xu has been uneasy, and in the dead of night last night, for some reason, he suddenly broke out, regardless of slamming the door, and went straight all the way to ······ Straight for ······" At this point, I won't go any further.

Di Ying's eyelids jumped, and he ordered to go down, "The rest of the people wait to retreat", and after the servants came out quietly, he continued, "Go on." ”

The servant took a breath and picked up the conversation, "I went straight to the east courtyard, and I stayed in the courtyard for a long time, Steward Xu was too timid to enter the inner room, and when Steward Xu came out, he was crazy and convulsed, and then fell to the ground and did not wake ······up." The more he spoke, the weaker his voice became, his head buried deep in his chest, and he wanted to dig a hole on the spot to hide from the turmoil for a while, and he never had the courage to peek at his master's face.

Although Di Ying had expected it, his expression still couldn't help but become darker and darker, his short and straight nails made a slight noise when he knocked on the dishes due to unintentional trembling, and years of killing and planning had already made him practice the ability to be as immobile as a mountain, anger and uneasiness circled around his abdomen, turned into a solemn face, gathered his five fingers and clenched his fists, Di Ying said quietly, "Call Xu's family." ”

"Yes", the servant rushed out as if he had been pardoned.

Aunt Xu was kneeling on the side of the bed at this time, holding a white cloth towel, while helping Steward Xu wipe the sweat beads on her forehead and sideburns, while crying and chattering.

"What kind of sin did you suffer, you were fine yesterday······"

"Dead old man, if you dare to abandon me, the old woman can't spare you if she chases you to the underworld······"

"My son is gone, and you don't care about me anymore?"

"I knew that there were a lot of pickles in the Shenfu compound, so I shouldn't have let you come in the first place, it's not good to be a teacher honestly, it's safe and stable, and Liang'er won't lose ······"

"Aunt Xu!" The servant shouted, "I understand that Aunt Xu is worried, but don't talk nonsense." ”

"Qi Yue, why are you back?" Aunt Xu turned her head and asked with teary eyes.

"The master ordered me to summon you over for questioning, but I shouted a few times in the courtyard and no one answered, and I heard Aunt Xu opening her mouth and closing her mouth to pickle things······ When you get to the master later, don't be so open-mouthed. Qi Yue stepped forward to help Aunt Xu up, glanced at the sleeping housekeeper Xu on the bed, and sighed, "If you anger the master, the housekeeper's illness will ······ Hey, for the sake of the housekeeper, the aunt should also be cautious. ”

"I understand", Aunt Xu wiped her tears and choked up.

Along the way, Qi Yue gave a few words of advice, and then arrived outside Baoyang Xuan.

"Auntie should keep in mind what to say and what not to say." After that, Qi Yue pulled the white cloth towel in her hand and nodded, "Go in." ”

"Hmm!"

Aunt Xu stood by the door tremblingly, her knuckles were white, and her speech was stumbling, "Last night, the old woman was ······ The slave and maid are asleep, and the old man ······ The husband was still sitting in the house and looked at the lamp and candle in a daze, refusing to go to bed, and heard the old man screaming in a daze, and then jumped up from the ground and rushed out of the door, I couldn't rest assured, and hurriedly put on a dress to keep up, and saw ······", down, according to the situation of last night, he naturally avoided the section of discarding the dead baby, and only said that he went in and out empty-handed, and stayed in the east courtyard for a quarter of an hour and did not know what to do.

Di Ying's eyes were like blades, staring at Aunt Xu's face, seeing that her cowardice was not fake, and her sadness was also true, the words were true and false, and Aunt Xu was also a little confident, so she didn't see anything, and when she finished speaking, she was silent for a long time, and then asked, "What did the housekeeper say during this time······

Aunt Xu pondered carefully, and picked out an irrelevant sentence, "Before passing out······ But what did you say······ At noon, the sun was exposed, and this is the sentence, and the old woman remembers it clearly. ”

Di Ying lowered his eyes, and was silent again.

Seeing that it was time for the pilgrimage, the ivory wat and wat sac, and the horses were all prepared by Steward Xu in advance in the past, and there was no need to give other orders, and there was no change in the past few years.

Di Ying raised his head and looked at the copper kettle hanging under the eaves, "Go back first, and the doctor will go to diagnose and treat it later. ”

"Yes", Aunt Xu retreated.

At the middle gate, the little girl who combed her double flat bun, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a blue skirt, stood behind the door, carefully revealing half of her eyes, and saw Di Ying flying up across the horse, still followed by four servants, crossing the door of the house, the sound of riding the horse gradually disappeared in the market, turning her head, two thin legs staggered into a shadow, and ran towards Yunshuiju.

"Madame······ The old man ······", the little girl covered her heart and half-bent over, panting into the main hall.

"Shh-", a woman with thick eyebrows and broad cheeks had a fierce face, glanced coldly, and saw that the little girl was still interesting, so she immediately lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, bowed and waited, and turned her head with a smile on the corner of her mouth to stare at the beauty who was painting in front of the long case.

This beauty has long eyebrows and thin eyes, soft and weak, and the tender white fingers are pinching a fetal brush at this time, dipping in ink, dotting the pen, drawing, and making gestures, none of which is not delicate and elegant, such as the wind and clouds, and suddenly like a fairy coming to the world.

Although the appearance is not excellent, there is a rare charm in the world between the eyebrows and smiles, which makes people linger.

The lip flap is slightly hooked, the pen is placed on the white jade pen pillow, and the light of the lake and the night lotus picture are slightly withdrawn, and a picture of the lake night lotus jumps on the paper.

The moonlight is ethereal, the lake water is clear, the center of the clear water, the white lotus is full of white lotus, the pink buds are falling dew, the green lotus balls, the painting style is light, the painting is meticulously crafted, and the artistic conception is far-reaching, it is difficult to find in the world.

"Madame's pen is like a god, it is really extraordinary." , The upright-looking woman couldn't help but praise repeatedly, and pointed sideways to the small compartment, and said with Rongyan, "Any one in that room is circulated, which is enough to make those literati and celebrities in the world who sell their fame and reputation and regard themselves as holy relics, and they can't learn a word or two." ”
