Wu Er shook his head and choked: "I don't know what happened to the uncle, because we came back early, Zheng Erye Huo Sanye delayed a night in order to catch the thief who stole and came back, and when the thief was sent to the palace, the yamen was left in the cold, and after asking, I knew that after the water was gone, the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion immediately sent out the entire yamen." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoA few people were so frightened that they couldn't even take care of the thief, so they hurried to the examination room, and when they arrived there, the people from the yamen had already surrounded the examination room, and others couldn't get in at all, let alone know the situation inside. Second Master Zheng couldn't, so he had to stay there and wait for news, and sent Huo Sanye back to deliver the news. Now that the old man and his wife are bedridden at home, Miss Qingping calls and tells her brother that it is better to go to the house first. ”

Qiao'er heard that her body was suddenly cold to the bone, and Qingping's words clearly told her that Zhou Fuxiang must be more auspicious this time, and it was originally a tribute test to lock the courtyard, and if she walked the water, it would be like burning the camp, and there would be no armor left.

She was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses, although Ban'er was also worried, but fortunately, the bystanders were clear, and hurriedly took Qiao'er's hand and said to Wu'er: "Let's go quickly, go and see if there is any news in the house." ”

Wu Er wiped her tears and nodded, hurriedly turned around and went back to the Zhou Mansion, Ban'er and Qiao'er locked the door and followed closely behind, and ran to the Zhou Mansion. The little servants on the door all bowed down and stood there, and when they saw them coming, they all said, "Brother Wu, go quickly, my sister in the house still asked someone to find you." ”

Wu Er hurriedly agreed, called his brother to go quickly, and then rushed into the courtyard and went straight to the second gate. When they got there, all the small servants gathered at the gate of the Moon Cave, and Wu'er hurriedly asked people to get out of the way and sent Ban'er and Qiao'er in. In the Xuhui Garden, all the big and small maids gathered in one place and wept, Mingyue Danyang Apricot Blossom and Plum Blossom four people, even biting their lips with a handkerchief and crying secretly, someone suddenly said that Brother Qiao was coming, Mingyue hurriedly greeted him, and said with a pair of red apricot eyes: "Brother has heard, the examination room is out of water." ”

Qiao'er nodded tearfully: "I've heard about it, sister, don't worry, tell me if there is a letter over there there is any?" ”

Mingyue covered her mouth and shook her head, and cried for a moment before saying: "No, the people sent out have not come back yet, and the family of Zhang Gongzi, the son of Wen who is good friends with our son-in-law, also sent people to investigate, but they are all crying all over the garden, and there is no one in sight." What kind of iniquity has been created, and how can it go out of the water? As he spoke, he remembered Zhou Fuxiang's various benefits for treating his subordinates on weekdays, and couldn't help crying again.

Qiao'er also silently threw tears like beads, Ban'er saw that all the women were crying, only one man was there, if he didn't cry a joke, if he didn't cry, he was also worried about Zhou Fuxiang's life and death, so he had to hang his head and come out silently, and grabbed the little guy outside the second door to ask for an understanding.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhou sent a little maid over there, saying that she wanted to call Mingyue over, and when she saw that Qiao'er was also there, she hurriedly said: "Brother should go with me, just now Mrs. was talking to Sister Qingping about brother." ”

Qiao'er nodded in response, and Mingyue and Mingyue went straight to the west wing from Xuhui Court through the courtyard, and when they entered, everyone was just like Xuhui Garden, crying and choking. Probably because of Madame's presence, they didn't dare to make too much noise, and the two older maids, Apple and Sydney, stood still in front of Mrs. Zhou's couch and waited for her to drink water.

Mingyue and Qiao'er went in and hurriedly asked Mrs. Zhou's safety first, Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and motioned for Qingping to take the water aside, and when she saw Qiao'er's tears, they seemed to be gurgling water, and she was pouring down, sitting on the couch half-sideways, beckoning to him: "Brother Qiao'er, come here and sit down." ”

Qiao'er really passed with sadness and sat beside Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou took his hand and cried, "Have you heard about it, the examination shed is gone, my son...... It's gone. ”

Qiao'er saw that her eyes were swollen and red from crying, and her qi was weak and weak, she knew that she had been hit hard, and she didn't dare to be too sad at this time, so she hurriedly said with relief: "Don't worry, Mrs., Uncle Ji has his own natural appearance, and he will come back safely." ”

"That's not what you said?" Mrs. Zhou choked up and said, "When he was born, he coughed non-stop every day, and he didn't see it well after inviting a lot of Langzhong, and later people said that the master of Zhiqing on the mountain was a very manifest Buddha, and I took the maids to ask the master for blessings just out of the moon, so I gave him such a name." Now...... Now that I'm looking forward to him growing up, why is God going to take him away again? My son, my son of misery, is it because my mother has no blessing to keep you? ”

Mrs. Zhou was distressed again, grabbed Qiao'er's hand and just cried, and when the maids and women outside heard it, they couldn't stop crying. No matter how insistent Qiao'er was, she couldn't help but cry again and again, and it was not easy to wipe it with a handkerchief, so she had to smear it with her sleeve and keep saying comforting words.

Helplessly, Mrs. Zhou was sad, even Qingping and the others couldn't dissuade her, Qiao'er cried for a while, thought about it before and after, and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Madam, although the examination shed is connected, there is always some distance between the front and back, for the fire candle, there must also be a water tank, it will not be so coincidental to burn to the uncle's house, so wait until Zheng Erye comes back." ”

Mrs. Zhou stopped crying and nodded silently. The room was quiet for a while, and the people sent out outside had rushed back one after another, some said that they had not received the news, and some said that the imperial court had asked the yamen to prepare the coffin, no matter which news was shocking, in the end, Qing Ping did not dare to let people in again, and stopped outside and carefully asked the truth before reporting back to Mrs. Zhou one by one. In the early afternoon, Zheng Yue, who had stayed in the capital to wait for the news, finally came back, and he didn't dare to delay outside, so he let him into the backyard, and Qingping hurriedly asked him, "Is there any news from the uncle?" ”

Zheng Yue bent over and panted, and shook his head after a moment: "There is no news, the people inside said that more than 100 people were burned to death, and the two rows of examination sheds were burned down, and the corpses were incomplete." There are piles of coffins outside the Gong Courtyard, girl, I'm afraid that our young master will ...... There is no return. ”

What the? Apple couldn't help but gasp, took a step back, only to feel a flower in front of her, and all the days of fear collapsed at this moment, and the maids behind her came up to hug her, and hurriedly called for someone. Mrs. Zhou heard a sound in the house, and ordered Mingyue and Sydney to come out to see who it was, and the two came out to see Zheng Yue, and Zheng Yue said the same thing to them, Mingyue immediately fainted, and everyone was in a hurry. Sydney, the only one, was still supported, stumbled into the door and cried: "Mrs. is not good, uncle...... Uncle can't be saved. ”

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her hands and feet were cold, her eyes were violent, and she fell on the bed with a plop, and she couldn't even hear the voice of Master Zhou crying and calling her. Everyone in the Hefu was crying loudly, Qiao'er wiped her tears and choked up several times, Qingping and others had to take care of Mrs. Zhou and serve Master Zhou, and they couldn't even cry.

Crying for a while, Qiao'er sat down next to Mrs. Zhou's couch, still unable to believe that the gentle son who was her companion went innocently like this, and she could only hate her current identity, if it was the usual Jiafu, it would not be easy to inquire about such news. Thinking like this, she suddenly remembered that there was another person, and Apple got up and went out just to see him wipe his tears, and hurriedly chased her out, and asked her before the tears dried, "Where are you going?" ”

Qiao'er turned around and pushed her and said, "Sister takes good care of my wife, I'll go back when I go." Saying that it was inconvenient to say more, he pulled out his hand and grabbed the sleeve of the board when he went out of the second door, and said as he walked: "If my brother is still angry with me, just keep it for later, and now accompany me to a place first." ”

Ban'er was confused and asked her to pull it out, seeing that she was so serious, it was not good to be stubborn, so she really came out with her. The two hurriedly crossed the bridge, Qiao'er pulled the board and went to Rongjin Hall, and as soon as he entered, he said: "Tell you to come out, and say that Liu Tianqiao from Baishui Village came to pay a visit." ”

Most of Rong Jintang's guys had seen her, and after hearing this, they hurriedly went in and passed on He Jing, so panicked that he walked out quickly, and said with a smile: "I don't know if my brother came over today, the old man has lost his welcome, and he has lost his welcome." ”

Qiao'er nodded slightly, and said unceremoniously: "I am tired of the shopkeeper, send me to see the fifth master, I have something important to say." ”

Shopkeeper He couldn't help but hesitate: "Something important? Dare to ask my brother what is the matter? ”

Qiao'er sneered: "What shopkeeper, people say that disaster comes from the mouth, I think there is another sentence that is also appropriate, disaster comes from the ear, I don't know if the shopkeeper agrees or not?" ”

"Huh." Shopkeeper He smiled, naturally understood what she meant, and didn't dare to delay at the moment, so he called the guy to prepare the car and send Qiao'er out in person.

Ban'er didn't dare to believe that this was true until he got into the carriage, and hurriedly asked Qiao'er: "When did you meet the shopkeeper of Rongjintang, and he still treats you so politely?" ”

Qiao'er saw him talking loudly, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and motioned him to be quieter, and Fang told him in a low voice: "This matter is a long story, and I will explain it to my brother in detail when I get home." Now I came out for the uncle's business, no gossip, I only told my brother, my brother should listen carefully, no matter what he saw and heard, my brother just pretended to be deaf and dumb, and I will deal with the rest. Uncle is alive or dead, can we still get the news, now it's only a word from that person. ”

Ban'er became more and more confused, scratching her head and seeing that she looked cautious, she couldn't ask more, so she had to sit curiously. The driver is a familiar hand, and after a short time, the car was driven to the door of Dicui Garden, Qiao'er didn't have time to talk to Ban'er in detail, pulled him out of the car, and hurriedly reported the small guy standing in front of the door. After half a burnt incense, someone came out and asked Qiao'er to go in with him.

Unwilling to enjoy the new scenery in the garden, Qiao'er Ban'er just followed behind the visitor, and went around from the corridors of various cave doors to a waterfront pavilion.

The bamboo shadow in the pavilion is shady, the fragrant tea is strong, and there is no one else, only the prince is here. On the other side is a boxy and exquisite stage, and there is a small Dan stretching his body, singing a song of soapy robes, and saying that "it turns out that the purple and red are all over the place, and they are all paid to the broken wells like this." The beautiful scenery of the good day is the day, who is happy to enjoy the courtyard? Flying in the morning and twilight, clouds and clouds, rain and wind, smoke and waves painting boats. Jinping people look at this Shao splash! ”

With the prince slowly beating the beat with her singing, Qiao'er mustered up the courage, stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Xiaomin Liu Tianqiao has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
