Because it was inconvenient to call people back when they were at work, Zhong Qing ordered someone to go and tell Lu Jianhao that Tan Rulin was going to be the east with her and invited him to the mansion for dinner. Listen to the messenger to Lu Jianhao, Lu Jianguo really did not suspect him, and after getting off the yamen in the evening, he took a rickshaw to the Fengqiao Mansion.

Tan Rulin also came back from work in the Yamen, he heard about Yu's idea from Zhongqing, and naturally knew that Lu Jianhao was going to come to his home, and ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and he thought that Yu was going to recognize Lu Jianhao's son-in-law.

Lu Jianhao's eyelids have been beating hard since this morning, and his mother said that it was unlucky for his right eye to jump, and she wanted to put a charm on his eye, so he refused, thinking that it was caused by the overwork of the new official in his recent appointment. I didn't want my right eyelid to jump for a day, and when I arrived at the Fengqiao Mansion, I was jumping hard.

He rubbed his eyes, got out of the rickshaw, paid the coachman, and the messenger of the Fengqiao Mansion hurriedly opened the door as soon as he saw him.

Lu Jianhao entered the courtyard unimpeded, they got off work at six o'clock, and the sky at six o'clock in the summer was still very bright, and they couldn't see the night until eight o'clock, so the entire Fengqiao Mansion did not turn on the lights, and the courtyard was a little deserted.

He walked up the stairs, and the architecture of the Fengqiao Mansion was very Western-style, with the dining room and living room almost connected together, with only one partition in the middle blocking two areas. Lu Jianhao entered the living room, and was about to ask where Tan Rulin and Zhong Qing were, when he suddenly heard the sobbing of a child in a small guest room next to him.

He knew that the little young master of the Tan family was not yet one year old, and he thought that the little young master was crying, and he heard a slow and pleasant female voice singing softly to coax the children, which is the most familiar folk song of Shanghainese: "Tuk Tuk, selling sugar porridge, three catties of peach and four catties of shells, eating Nong Ge meat, returning Nong Ge shell, the old uncle of the Zhang family, please open the door and ask Nong to ask for a little flower dog ......" The pronunciation is authentic, the words are clear, and it is clear that only Shanghainese can sing.

He thought it was Zhong Qing in it, but it didn't seem like it, after all, Zhong Qing was the Li family, and the Li family lived far away in the old Beijing, even if Zhong Qing married in Shanghai and learned Shanghainese, he couldn't sing the folk songs so accurately.

Maybe it's a nurse invited by the Tan family from the local area, right? Lu Jianhao thought about it this and was a little surprised.

He walked towards the dining room inside, who knew that a little girl ran down from upstairs, and a few steps passed by him, pushed open a very hidden small door on the side of the living room, and smiled inside: "Tired, right?" Mrs. told you to come over for dinner later, and the nurse will change you after dinner. ”

I couldn't hear what the people inside were saying, so Lu Jianhao saw that the little girl ran upstairs again, as if she had returned to her life.

He twisted his head, and glanced through the crack in the door that was not closed, only to vaguely see a woman wearing a two-blue bamboo cloth skirt, combing two braids, holding a small doll in her arms, the little doll stretched out her hand to touch her cheek, she giggled, and avoided it.

This should have been a very warm picture, but in Lu Jianhao's opinion, he was so frightened that his legs and feet trembled and he almost fell to the ground.

This woman ...... This kid ...... How did it end up here? They...... Aren't they all dead? He sent them to be buried with his own hands, why are they here?

He almost lost his soul, and shook his head a few steps backwards, thinking that he had misunderstood.

Behind him, Tan Rulin learned from the messenger that Lu Jianhao had come, so he just washed his hands and came out of the restaurant to greet him, let him step back and hit his face, and said with a sigh: "Pay attention to your step, Minister Lu." ”

Minister Lu was still in shock and couldn't come back to his senses, as soon as he heard someone speak, he immediately turned his head and grabbed Tan Rulin's collar and asked him directly, "Who is in that room?" Who is she and who is the child? ”

"What's who, she, what," Tan Rulin asked him inexplicably, glanced in the direction of his finger, and then smiled, "Oh, you're talking about the fourth sister, she just came to Shanghai today, you don't recognize her." ”

"Fourth sister...... It's the fourth sister......" Lu Jianhao let go, but remembered that his mother had said that there was a fourth lady in the Li family who was born very similar to Yaxian, and almost scared her to death.

He took a few breaths, trying to drive away the shadow in his heart, knowing that the person was not Xie Yaxian, as for the fourth miss of the Li family, he should still be her brother-in-law, he didn't have to be afraid, he didn't have to be afraid.

While she was comforting herself, Wanchun had already heard the sound of talking outside in the small guest room, she gently put Mingwei into the cradle without changing her face, shook him to see that he was asleep, and then straightened her clothes and hair and came out of the guest room.

She deliberately dressed up this way, this is the clothes she is used to wearing after marrying Lu Jianhao, and the ballad is also the one she often hums when she coaxes her daughter, she just wants him to be afraid, to make him weak-hearted, and to show himself in front of his mother and sister.

As soon as she opened the door, of course, she looked at Lu Jianhao firmly. Lu Jianhao's heart had just calmed down, and the moment he saw Wanchun's expression again, it was a mess again.

On the contrary, Wanchun was leisurely, holding on to one of the armrests of the sofa, standing there and calling with a smile: "Brother-in-law." ”

"Ah......h

"Hey!"

Lu Jianhao responded to her in a panic, and Tan Rulin also responded to her after hearing it, only to know that he would be wrong, Wan Chun's brother-in-law didn't call him, and he became more and more embarrassed.

Tan Rulin didn't know about the confrontation between the two of them, and when she saw Wanchun come out, she asked her, "Mingwei is asleep?" ”

Wan Chun nodded and said, "Just go to sleep." ”

"It's really hard for the fourth sister." Tan Rulin said politely, and when he saw Lu Jianhao standing there without saying a word, he hurriedly introduced Lu Jianhao to Wanchun, "This is the Mr. Lu Jianhao I told my fourth sister about, and now Mr. Lu is leading the position of minister in the Ministry of Agriculture." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

Lu Jianhao didn't know why, although he understood that Wanchun was not Xie Yaxian, but in the face of her gaze, he was still very unnatural, not only unnatural, if he looked at her gaze again, he could even detect the hatred shown in Wanchun's eyes.

But this is too undeserved, he has never seen this fourth lady, why should she be so hostile to herself? Seems...... It was like the eyes of that man when he was dying.

Lu Jianhao turned away slightly, avoided Wan Chun's scrutinizing gaze with a weak heart, and greeted her with a slight bow: "Lu has seen the fourth sister." ”

"Who is your fourth sister?" Wan Chun stared at his stiff side face with a sneer, "I only know that there are two brothers and one sister, and there is only one brother-in-law, Brother Tan, why do you call me the fourth sister?" ”

"By ...... Rely on me...... Be...... Yes......" Lu Jianhao was for a long time, and he didn't have a reason. Others didn't know about Shuyun's death, but he knew best, because in the face of Miss Li Si, who was almost the same as Xie Yaxian and dressed the same, he couldn't open his mouth to report to his house anyway.

Wan Chun knew what he was afraid of, but unfortunately he was afraid too early, and the show was just beginning. (To be continued.) )
