The rainy day, which has been cloudy for more than half a month, finally cleared, the musty smell in the air became more and more pungent, and there was no earthy fragrance after the new rain in the empty mountains, coupled with the long-accumulated smell of traditional Chinese medicine, it was really a unique taste in my heart, and I wanted to vomit!

If you follow the taste, you can find that the source of all this comes from the firewood room in the backyard of the Tao family's old house. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The firewood room, as the name suggests, is used to place firewood, and some people use it to hold the slaves who make mistakes, but the firewood room of the Tao family's old house is the boudoir of Tao Hua, the fourth lady of Tao. A simple wooden board is put on a quilt with old hair, which is a bed, and a bowl of steaming bitter medicine rests on the wooden table with missing legs, and the cold wind invades along the broken window paper.

The room was so simple, but the little girl lying on the bed didn't care much, and slept soundly, as if she had a good dream, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

There was a knock on the door, and the good dream was interrupted. Tao Hua frowned, reluctantly opened his eyes, and only then turned his head to look at the person when he got used to the light in the room: he was not tall, he was small, he was wearing the most popular purple gauze skirt in Jiangling, and there was a mandarin duck water sachet hanging on his slender waist, and the tall flying cloud temples were full of beads and hairpins, and the beautiful melon seed face was flushed with red makeup, the fat powder seemed to be cheap, and it was white and bleak when applied to the face, and a pair of narrow eyes were narrow, and I didn't know what bad tricks I was thinking.

The strong smell of Chinese medicine in the house couldn't cover the incense of the tired dead, making people feel disgusting and want to vomit, Tao Hua breathed a sigh without a trace, sat up with difficulty, and then gasped and smiled and said: "Sister Xiangling, it's so beautiful today." ”

Xiangling has always been vain, and when she heard this, she was really happy, raised her hand to help a dazzling golden step, and faked a cough.

Tao Hua really wants to roll his eyes, step shake is a forbidden thing that people are not allowed to wear at will, Xiangling is a maid, how can he have the money to buy step shake? He must have stolen his own. On the face, there is envy and praise: "Beauty is like jade and gold, Sister Xiangling is both talented and beautiful, compared to Chang'e in the sky, it is also more than that, if anyone is lucky enough to marry her sister, it is really a blessing in the previous life." "That's weird!

Xiangling has never read a book, I don't know what it means, when I heard the word "beauty", I guessed that I was also praising myself, and my face was even more smiling, if it wasn't for the business, I really wanted to take out the baby at the bottom of the box, so that she could see the world, but there would be opportunities in the future.

"The slave maid said hello to the young lady, Jinling sent someone to pick up the young lady back, Ming'er will leave, Steward Fan told the slave and the maid to come and clean up for the young lady, and then wait by your side, Xiangling will do her best to take care of the young lady." Xiangling since entering the house, three years have never learned etiquette, and never saluted, now want to please Tao Hua, go to Jinling with her, have to bow their heads, unprecedented scholars please An Xing, but the painting tiger is not an anti-dog, a little funny.

Tao Hua's eyes darkened, his heart finally came, he received letters twice a month, urging him so urgently, I was afraid that something had happened, if it wasn't for the delay in the rainy season, he would have been in Jinling, and now he sent someone to come, I don't know if it's surveillance, or escort? I'm afraid the former is the majority.

Different from Tao Hua's faint worries, Xiangling is full of expectations for Jinling, she seems to have seen the traffic there, prosperous and luxurious, walking on the street by herself, a handsome boy with a dashing demeanor fell in love with her at first sight, she did not marry, vowed to carry the sedan chair eight times, the media was marrying herself, she pretended not to want to, that person wanted to die Mingzhi, and finally he finally agreed, and the two lived the life of a fairy couple. Thinking of this, Xiangling blushed shyly, and kept fanning the wind with a handkerchief to cool down.

Tao Hua watched Xiangling's every move quietly, raised his hand to brush his hair, covered his lips and sneered, but sighed again: "My grandmother is thinking of me, I shouldn't have shirked, how can I be weak since I was a child, how can I stand it when I go for more than 3,000 miles, it is better to be here for my aunt to keep filial piety and pray for the Tao family." ”

Hearing her words clearly, Xiangling's dream was shattered, and she stood at the door all of a sudden, with a look of disbelief: Tao Hua is sick, that is Jinling, the capital of the Huaxia Dynasty, and would rather stay in Jiangling and wait for death than go to Jinling to get drunk and dream of death, what is it if you are not sick?

"Miss, don't say these frustrating words again, Jinling famous doctors are everywhere, and they will definitely cure Miss's illness, I'll pack up my things, and you can lie on the bed."

Such a cold and rude voice is Xiangling, Tao Hua is used to it, and he is not annoyed, but he is helpless and embarrassed to say: "What Sister Xiangling said is that it is not too early today, and I have to trouble my sister to work hard, the key is in the ......" Before he finished speaking, he coughed again, and his face became more and more pale.

Xiangling waited for this sentence, and did not dislike the smell in the house, and strode to the bedside, Jin Bu shook violently, indicating that person's good mood. Thoughtfully patted her on the back, helped her lie down, and asked tentatively: "Don't worry, point out the place with your hand, and I'll go get it." ”

Tao Hua, who was lying down, trembled and pointed to the door beam, Xiangling looked at it, and the key had been on her head, this sick man was stupid and not stupid, saying that she was not stupid and knew how to hide the key, saying that she was stupid and did not know how to read the key.

Xiangling got the key, and asked if she wanted to ask a doctor, but when she saw that she was weak and shook her head, she didn't force it, anyway, she didn't really plan to ask for a doctor. The door was not closed, and he rushed to the house where his aunt lived before her death.

After she left, the people on the bed opened their eyes, clean and smart, how could there be half a point of sickness? Turned over, hugged the wooden box under the quilt, found a comfortable sleeping position on the wooden bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xiangling unlocked the lock and rushed straight to the dresser, remembering that when her aunt was alive before, there were a lot of good things in the makeup, but she was still there? found the makeup, Xiangling's hanging heart fell, gold step shake, silver hairpin, beaded flowers, jade bracelets, earrings...... There is everything, dazzling, she is dazzled, grab a handful, I don't know which one to wear first, I can only insert it into my head, appreciate myself in the mirror, and be amazed, it is worthy of being built in Jinling, this workmanship, style, and selection of materials are all exquisite, which is the stall that I bought can be compared, and the sick seedlings are cheaper, but I have to have a life to enjoy, right?

In a good mood, she hummed a song all the way to the main wing, and an eight or nine-year-old little maid guarding the door saw the jewels from afar, and the extravagant Xiangling came, not waiting for her to approach, she ran forward to please herself: "Slave Bao'er asked the fourth lady to say goodbye, Mama Li discussed matters with Steward Fan in the hall, and told the slave maid to wait here, if the young lady came, there was no need to go in, so that she could rest, Ming'er took the boat all the way, and did not stop." The slave sent the young lady back. ”

Xiangling heard someone call her Miss for the first time, she enjoyed it very much, and she didn't break it, so she coaxed the little maid and shouted several times, and she agreed simply.

Although the little maid was puzzled, she couldn't disobey the young lady's words, but she just shouted happily. Xiangling was addicted and bypassed her by the window to eavesdrop. Leaving the little maid confused alone, Mama Li's orders, the fourth lady didn't listen, and went to listen to the corner, in case Mama Li found out, she had to clean herself up, but how could she remind Miss? I really couldn't help it, my heart was crossed, and I shouted: "The slave maid sends the young lady back." ”

Xiangling, who was eavesdropping, was unguarded, suddenly startled, and almost fell down the steps, and when she stood firm, she pointed at Bao'er and scolded, she was so angry that she was about to slap over, but she was intercepted halfway.

"The fourth lady is so powerful, this is still in Jiangling, so she dares to slap the slave maid, if she arrives in Jinling, can't she slap the lady? The old body has lived for so many years, and he has really seen a lot, and he can't get on the table. ”

Is Xiangling a soft egg to be slaughtered? immediately pounced on it and fought with Mama Li, which was a bitter persuasion Steward Fan, scratched his face several times, and his ass was kicked by someone, which pulled the two apart.

Since ancient times, women have fought nothing more than slapping their faces, pulling their hair, and **** their hands.

Seeing that Mama Li was still bright and shiny before she entered the door, her hair was shiny, but now she looked like a defeated rooster, her hair was messy, and the corners of her lips were bloody. Looking at Xiangling again, she didn't get anything good, she was disheveled, covering her face with one hand and protecting her chest with the other, Mama Li was mixed in the courtyard of the deep house, and she picked an inconspicuous place to start, so that Xiangling couldn't say anything bitter, but although she Xiangling was small, she was not light, not to mention that she heard just now that the old shrew actually asked Fan Dafu to sell the maids, and she hated it even more, and the loud slap was loud.

Bao'er knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, kowtowed vigorously, her head was broken, Mama Li was distressed, after all, she was brought up by herself, and she also pointed to her to support her for the elderly.

Back in the house, Fan Dafu drugged Xiangling while cursing Mama Li, Xiangling was disdainful, and secretly scolded the old man for not planting, but his mouth was screaming pain.

Fan Dafu looked at the bruises on the snow-white skin, and felt distressed, but the beauty in front of him was pear blossoms with rain, his clothes were half retreating, and his beautiful figure was looming, which made him a little uneasy, and he almost couldn't hold it, but he didn't hold it in the end, the beauty was in his arms, the spring was infinite, and it was not a man who held it, and he was going to pounce on it.

Xiangling is very hot, this old man is in estrus regardless of the occasion, he is injured like this, he still wants a beast? Didn't you just say righteous words, patted your chest and promised to sell yourself, what does it mean to pounce on it now? Pushing him dissatisfiedly, he muttered: "Steward Fan is going to send Xiangling back to the Qinglou, and he humiliates me like this, I won't live anymore." "Break away and you're going to hit the post.

How could Fan Dafu let her hit the pillar, and hurriedly grabbed her, this pull and pull, the half-faded clothes were all faded, and the looming clothes were all gone, so fragrant, so that the blood in Fan Dafu's whole body rushed down, and repeatedly promised, swearing to the sky, only to make Xiangling believe that she would not betray her, and the two fell to the bed together......

Xiangling looked coldly at the old man who was struggling to move on his belly, and clenched his fists where he couldn't see.

On July 10, the five of them took a boat all the way to Jinling, and some people fainted. It's just that Bao'er's head is broken, Xiangling is to cover the kiss marks, Tao Hua can't see the wind, the three of them are wearing veils, Mama Li can only judge by their clothes, this fainted person is one of Tao Hua's master and servants, secretly scolded bad luck, and then leaned on the shore, temporarily lived in the post house, and entered the city early in the morning.

That night, the post house went to the water, the fire was monstrous, it burned all night, and when it was near, it was able to go in to find people.

The county lord complained bitterly, secretly scolded the passing year is unfavorable, and said that the new official took office with three fires, but he didn't expect this fire to burn on himself, if Miss Tao Si has a good one, sincerity Bo Taoshan will not pick his own skin!

This person can't stand the chatter, the Tao family heard the news last night, and sent someone over when the city gate opened early this morning, a big-shouldered mother-in-law just got off the carriage, and before she stood still, she pointed to the nose of the county lord and scolded, scolding the stars flying all over the sky.

Although the county lord was annoyed that she was rude, he was not good at attacking, so he just bowed low and begged her to dissipate his anger.

There was a report that a corpse was found in the west, and the county lord was sweating in his head, and he didn't know how to wipe it while pinching the handkerchief, and when he saw that the woman was about to scold again, he rushed in front of her and explained: "The west side lives with slaves, and the lady of your mansion lives in the east." ”

Another errand reported that a female corpse was found in the west, and the county lord shook for a moment, almost falling to the ground, and the woman warned in a cold voice: "The fourth lady is the tip of my lord's heart, if she is missing a hair, can you afford it?" ”

Immediately after the errand report found the second female corpse, the county lord directly collapsed to the ground, rolled his eyes, unconscious, the woman lifted his collar, violent, and threatened to see the official to seek justice.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, Bao'er helped a weak woman who couldn't help the wind and pear blossoms brought rain, and the woman squinted and looked at it for a while, before she recognized that this was Bao'er under Mama Li's hand, and saw that only she was alive, and couldn't help asking: "What happened last night, how did you go away with the water in a good manner, and who is this?" ”

Bao'er knelt down and pleaded guilty, crying silently: "Ask Mama Fan to be the master of the young lady, yesterday the post house went to the water, the slave maid hurriedly rescued the young lady first, and when she came back, the fire got bigger and bigger, and she couldn't get in, the slave and maid called Mama Li, no one answered, woo woo......"

And the woman that Bao'er was holding before turned out to be Xiangling! Although Tao Hua Xining was born in eight years, only eleven years old, not tall, but Xiangling is only two years older than her, and she is only thirteen years old this year.

Xiangling is afraid, how can she not be afraid, although she is strong, fighting and arguing all day long, bullying Tao Hua, wishing she would die early, but I didn't expect her to really die, and she was pushed down the river by herself and drowned! Tao Hua was ill last night, she took her to find a doctor, she walked fast on the road, she was in a hurry to chase after her, took a sip of the river breeze, coughed, and coughed on herself, afraid that she would be sick to herself, and pushed her, who knew that she did not stand firm, and fell into the Sushui River, and before she could save her, she sank to the bottom after a while, Xiangling really didn't mean it, really! She saw that there was no one around, panicked and fled back to the post house to discuss countermeasures with Fan Dafu, how did she know that he was in the house with the widow, quarreling with him at the moment, the widow still wanted to beat her, but her foot slipped and hit the corner of the table and died, hated Fan Dafu for the widow's revenge, to strangle himself, if he didn't reach the wine jar and smashed him on the head, the death was herself, and that Mama Li heard the voice, happened to see herself lifting the wine jar to smash people, shouted, pulled out her legs and was about to run, at that time she was out of reason, but instinctively wanted to kill Mama Li to extinguish her mouth, They set fire to the scene and destroyed it.

In retrospect, it's scary, she's a murderer! Finally, my eyes went black and I fainted.

Mama Fan had never seen this fourth young lady, since Bao'er was waiting all the way, it should be right, so she told Bao'er to help the fourth young lady get into the car and return to Jinling to resume her life.

The county lord watched the carriage leave, and before he could put his heart in his stomach, a self-righteous errand officer next to him stepped forward to remind: "My lord, do you want to notify Chengyi Bo to come and collect the body?" ”

"Collect the body? Think about how to collect your own corpse, idiot! The county lord was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and shaking his hand was a slap.

The errand officer was beaten in public and lost face, but it was not good to be angry at the adults, lest he hit the muzzle of the gun again and became cannon fodder, so he could only vent his anger at the onlookers.

The people dared not speak out, but in the evening, everyone knew about this matter, and it became a joke for the people after dinner.
