Han's mother looked here when she heard someone talking, but when she got closer, she found that the corridor was empty, thinking that she was dizzy by the reporter outside the door, and walked a few steps forward and turned back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The room was dark and dark, only a small amount of sunlight flashed through the cracks, and the long-standing mold ash made people dizzy, but the sunlight outside the door was so strong that it pierced people's faces.

Gu Shaoqing and I stayed for a while, and when Han's mother was far away, he walked out of it. However, before I could gain a firm foothold, Gu Shaoqing had already pulled me in again. After a while, two voices, a man and a woman, came in from outside the door.

"What's the matter with you? It's been so long since you found out the relationship between Miss Liu Er and the eldest young master of the Gu family? ”

A deliberately low male voice asked.

"It's not that I didn't find out, it's that they don't talk about it in front of people at all. I only learned about the matter of the eldest lady of the Liu family through the small talk of the people in the kitchen, and if it wasn't for the fact that the young lady suddenly came to me that day, I could have overheard. You go back and tell the lord that Liu Qingsong will be back in three days, and I will naturally be able to inquire about the real situation at that time, and the lord will sit back and wait for the scandal of the Liu family! ”

"Okay, I'll go back and report to the master, and I'll see you at the old place in three days."

"Don't worry."

……

Who is the person outside the door? Why have I never heard their voices, and who is the lord in these two mouths? Why frame our family? A series of questions followed, I grabbed Gu Shaoqing's arm, only to feel paralyzed, the atmosphere did not dare to come out, the musty smell of the ear room was still staining my facial features for a long time, the air in the past was cloudy and dark and damp from the distant era into people's noses, with the ulterior secrets and conspiracy of the two people outside the house. After a long time, the footsteps of the woman outside the door gradually faded away and dispersed. The breath that I had held for a long time finally came out, I greedily breathed the air coming from outside the door, and then I came back to my soul, and the heavy coughing broke Xitang's calm again, and now, I was finally able to ask questions normally, and discuss with Gu Shaoqing like a normal person, and the stuffiness in my chest also disappeared after seeing the fresh air outside the house.

"We have an inner ghost in our family!"

"Are there any new people in the family during this time?" Gu Shaoqing asked.

"No, don't you know, our family is now going downhill, how can there be people only if you leave?"

Gu Shaoqing pondered: "That means this person has been lurking for many years? Listening to the voice just now, the man was only responsible for delivering the news, and it was the woman who really inquired. In addition to Han's mother, an old servant, how many maids do you have in your family? ”

I thought about it and replied seriously: "Mother Han is an old man left by my grandmother, who has taken care of me since I was a child, in addition to her family, there is a cook, a cleaning girl, and two porter daughters-in-law."

"Do you think Mama Han will betray your family?"

"This ...... I can't think of it. She took care of me since I was a child......"

"So it's not impossible?"

No, Mother Han won't, she takes care of me like a grandmother, how could she betray our family? Absolutely not, I thought, my heart was numb, but my mouth hesitated and didn't dare to answer: "I don't know ......"

"Han Zhao, listen to me, your family is being targeted, I don't know if the old man in that mouth is my father, there may be other forces, the Beiyang government is now in internal chaos, Mr. Sun launched the second Dharma protection movement in Guangzhou, although your father has long been out of politics, after all, there is still a certain residual influence in the Liu family in Beiping Hanlin. He is about to be promoted to the main department, and now I am telling you this, I want to tell you that your third uncle's death is not accidental, and someone wants to harm your Liu family, so you must find out the ghosts in the family as soon as possible, so that we can take the initiative, understand? I can't stay here for long, you have to act immediately, be careful not to show your feet, you can discuss with your mother, but you must not tell the third person, I will come again tomorrow. Gu Shaoqing said, touched my head, turned around and left.

There were little sparrows flying on the lattice window I had just touched, and step by step they tried to grasp the angular bulges with their little paws, but unfortunately the bulges were too small to grasp enough, and after a few steps, they still had no choice but to fly under the carved eaves.

I thought we could talk for more time, but I didn't expect him to leave in a hurry.

"Senior Brother ......"

I called him softly.

"You have to be careful."

He turned around, and a gentle smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I'm fine, go back quickly."

Say goodbye to me and go over the wall.

I only saw him turn over neatly, and he disappeared with a rise and fall, like a hero with peerless martial arts in a legendary novel. After looking at it for a long time, his eyes were very sour, and then he realized that he had been staring at the wall he had just climbed over to study-the gray tiles, the gray walls, and the gray suit left in his eyes.

After returning to the upper room, Han's mother was accompanying her mother to pick out the old clothes materials, and when she saw me come in, my mother didn't stop the work in hand, so she asked me directly, "Where did you go?" Can't find you anymore? ”

I was thinking about something, but I didn't dare to show it in front of Han's mother, so I had to say vaguely: "I was noisy by reporters in the morning and didn't sleep well, so I hid to make up for sleep."

I always like to be lazy, but my mother didn't doubt it when she heard it, and asked me with a smile: "You see Haizhu getting married, what should we give?" There is no shortage of things in your uncle's house, and our family is in such a mess now, so it's good that my mind has arrived, and I don't have the heart to make any more extras. ”

"What do you think of the jade Ruyi that my grandmother left me? Anyway, it's a waste for me to keep it, it's just right for Haizhu and Shifang, and the meaning is good. ”

Mother frowned: "Then what's the matter, that's what your grandmother left you, let's think of another way."

Han's mother also said: "My young lady, although our family is not as good as before, there is no reason for you to give gifts for dowry."

"How can it be as serious as you said, Haizhu and I grew up together, just like sisters, she got married, I can still feel sorry for this little thing. Oh, by the way, I remember that before you went to Beiping, didn't you ask Han's mother to make a dress for me and my sister? I haven't seen it in the past few days, where did you put it, take it out and let me see if it looks good. ”

When my mother saw that I was making a lot of trouble, she smiled and said to Han's mother: "Look at her anxious nature, go get it."

"Good...... Okay, I'll go get it. ”

Han's mother stepped on her legs, put the material in her hand on the kang, stood up and walked out. The dark purple cheongsam she placed on the kang was finely made, and the gold silk Ruyi buckle on the neckline was mounted on the purple brocade forging, which was a little dazzling for a moment. I watched Han's mother walk out for a long time, and then I took my mother's hand and walked to the inner room.

"I have something to say to you."

She was smiling and fiddling with the robe in her hand, but when she saw that I suddenly became serious, her expression suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong?" But did your sister tell you something? ”

I helped her walk and comforted: "It's not my sister, it's something else at home......"

In the bedroom, my mother and I sat side by side on the wooden bed, with solemn expressions.

"What? Are you saying that there is a ghost in our house? Mother asked in a whisper, looking incredulous.

"Yes, they will do something in three days, so we have to find the thief hiding in the house within three days."

"Since you said that they were going to meet in the old lady's west hall in three days, why don't we do it? Catch the thief on the spot three days later? ”

"But we don't know who is trustworthy and who is not, and there are few people at home who can use it, so wouldn't it be worse if the news leaked?"

My father was not at home at this time, and if I could still talk to my sister about countermeasures, but now she seems to be a different person, and her speech is uncertain, which makes people afraid. Gu Shaoqing said that he should not startle the snake, and it would definitely not work for blatant interrogation, but ...... How do you investigate quietly? My mother and I had a hard time.

Han's mother brought a cheongsam at this time, and when she saw that our mother and daughter had entered the inner room, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to trouble your mother again?" I'm afraid I know what I want, and I'll go into the inner room to make trouble. ”

"You say no, you want me to make her a new cheongsam like a dress, you have to compare it with the Suqing porcelain-style dress when I was young, no, I'm trying to find it for her!"

"You really know me, I just came up with an idea, and you know I'm going to toss you."

"It's not that I've been scared by you since I was a child, and the old lady will give you whatever she wants, so that I have to follow you to catch up with the trend when I am old. The old mothers in the kitchen don't laugh at me! ”

As soon as I heard this, I had an idea, and simply continued with her words: "The people in the kitchen dare to laugh at you? I'm going to ask them. ”

I said, putting down the material in my hand and walking outside.

When Han's mother saw it, she hurriedly grabbed my arm and said to my mother: "It's still that temperament, and you don't care about it." Now there is only Grandma Liu in the kitchen, how can anyone dare to laugh at me, but I will take out a joke from my youth. ”

"Oh? What do you think of Grandma Liu? Is it easy to get along with? ”

Han's mother couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this: "How did this kid get into shape today, and he knew to ask me if I was getting along."

"You just tease her, but it's rare that she wants to hear this, and you also tell her about the affairs of the family, so that you don't know how to get along with the next people when you get married." Mother quietly helped.

"Yes, just tell me, Haizhu is married, I still don't understand anything?"

"Well... Well, I was asked to tell you when the old lady was here. When Han's mother heard this, she put down the moon-white cheongsam she was holding in her hand and told me about the maid at home seriously.

Outside the house, the sun shone on the gray wall tiles and moved little by little, just waiting for the middle hour to arrive, it exuded the power of the autumn noon sun, just like the reporter who was still consumed outside Jiangningfang at this time, it would not be easily eliminated without waiting for that node. The power of the sun can wait, let alone a trickle of manpower?

The autumn of the ninth year of the Republic of China is destined to be an unforgettable memory......
