************************************************************************

Towards evening, Rose was holding a green jade pestle to grind the pulp, when she heard two knocks outside the door.

Rose frowned, put down the jade pestle, took a white cloth from the side and covered it on the desk, and got up to open the door.

Outside the door, Feng Jiu leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, his eyes lingering on the rose chest, and said with a smile: "Go out for a walk?" ”

Rose let go of the door panel with a blank face, and raised his hand to drop the latch.

Feng Jiu stepped in front of the door in one step, stretched out his legs and squeezed in, and the powerful rose took a few steps backwards before she stabilized her figure.

The other party didn't have the slightest sense of being disgusted, he hooked his lips on the door, and smiled with his eyebrows: "It's not good to be stuffy in the house all the time!" ”

"Besides, we should also take advantage of these two days to get acquainted with each other."

Rose held the hilt of the sword with one hand, gritted her teeth and stared, I really wanted to scratch this person's face, so as to save the selling of selling all day long!

Feng Jiu looked at her expression, and also guessed Rose's mind seven or eight points. Quite disappointed, he sighed in frustration, and there was a faint sigh between his eyebrows: "It is said that my sister loves to be pretty, why do you not understand the style of roses so much?" ”

Rose grinded her teeth and said word by word: "I'm not a sister in the Qinglou." ”

Feng Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I know!" ”

Then he showed an evil smile, touched his chin and sighed: "But Rose, you are much more charming than those top brands in Baihualou......"

Before the words fell, Rose had already kicked between Feng Jiu's legs, and at the same time waved her arm and backhand to the handsome face that was smiling poorly.

Feng Jiu had already consciously retreated a few steps back against the wall with the rose attack, one hand blatantly buckled his slender waist, and the other hand effortlessly blocked the sweeping hand knife. At the same time, raise your legs and hook them to spread the two straight snow-white thighs of the rose.

In an instant, the two of them turned into roses, their legs spread apart, straddling Feng Jiu's waist, their upper bodies touching each other's foreheads, and they were in an extremely ambiguous entangled posture. Those who don't know still think that it is infatuated children, promising each other for life, and the thunder of heaven stirs up the fire.

But right now, Xiao Qian, who was standing at the door, was in the know, and saw that the rose was so gloomy that she wanted to cut people, so she silently didn't make a sound.

Feng Jiu didn't seem to be enough, slowly turned his face, pretended to inadvertently rub the lip flap that the rose couldn't dodge, and looked at Xiao Qian who was stunned with a smile: "What a coincidence, they all came to talk to the rose?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the pale rose from the corner of his eye, and looked serious with business: "It's okay, although the rose is in a hurry, but it's—"

Rose couldn't bear it anymore, and raised her hand and slapped it over: "You bastard!" ”

Just listen to the crisp sound of "pop", and the rose slap is impartial.

Feng Jiu's complexion was not fair, but five fingerprints gradually appeared, and the corners of his mouth were overflowing with bloodshots. With a smile on his face, he looked at Rose with a deep gaze: "Be careful of the wound on your chest—"

Rose was shocked at first, but she didn't expect Feng Jiu not to dodge. As soon as he heard that sentence, he saw Feng Jiu's explicit gaze looking at his chest, and he trembled with anger, and held on to the wall with one hand and shouted angrily: "Let go!" ”

Feng Jiu's hand resting on the side of the rose's waist rubbed two handfuls lightly and heavily, and finally let go of the clamp under the almost fiery glare of the rose. Rose jumped off the wall on tiptoe and turned to walk towards the backyard.

Xiao Qian behind her voiced: "Miss." ”

The roots of the rose teeth ached, and her body stiffened and turned around.

"Miss, an hour ago, someone died in Mulan Villa outside the city, and the government has sent someone to see it. Something is wrong, the villa sent someone to invite you to come over and have a look. Xiaoqian said.

"Good!" As soon as Rose heard that there was business coming to the door, she agreed.

"Magnolia Villa? The Liu family? Miss Rose, I advise you not to take this business as well. Feng Jiu said slowly.

"You have to take care of it!" Rose glanced at Feng Jiu angrily and said.

The owner of Mulan Villa is surnamed Liu. named Magnolia, one is famous for its magnolia flowers all over the world; The second is that the first person in the villa was the owner's favorite woman, and there was a "lan" in her name.

It is late spring, the village is full of birds and flowers, the grass and trees are lush, the spring in the forest gathers water to divert water, the blue waves ripple, there are hundreds of rare magnolias planted around, in the early spring, a fragrant flower blooms into the sea, it makes people suspect that they have entered the fairyland of Qionglou.

A gust of wind passed, and a delicate voice sang: "Spring travel, apricot blossoms blow all over the head, who is young on the Mo, full of ......romance" The rose was stunned, but the song was continuous, from the magnolia flowers faintly came out: "The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life." Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed. The words are round and warm, as if the thousands of pores on the human body are slowly opened, and they are indescribably comfortable and comfortable.

Rose couldn't help but be fascinated, and thought to herself: "I've heard a lot of famous singers singing, how can it not be as fascinating and touching as this girl's singing?" I'm afraid that the legendary Jiang Yulang can be compared? ”

Leading the way in front of the rose, Zhang Dahai, the guard of the villa, clasped his hands together and muttered: "Mo Shang Hua, this Mo Shang Hua" ...... Sing ...... That's great......"

Rose's eyes flashed brightly, and she said with a smile: "Which master sings such an immortal song?" Will you give it to you? ”

In the depths of the magnolia bushes, I don't know when, a girl quietly appeared. She was holding a magnolia branch, on which seven or eight flower buds bloomed, as if she were secretly spitting cold incense. A pair of crystal-like eyes are looking at the roses for a moment, full of joy.

Rose said softly: "Girl, you sing that song so well, I'm afraid that the legendary Jiang Yulang can compare to it?" ”

The girl was slightly stunned, innocent and cute: "I'm Xiaorou." Sister, do you know Yulang too? Did he tell you to come to me? For so many years, except for myself singing to myself. She thought for a moment and said, "Well, no, he sang to me too, he's really good, really good." ”

In the early spring, the weather was still a little cool, but the girl Xiaorou was only wearing a plain white single dress, covered with a green shirt, scattered with her hair, and her skin was as clear as snow, and she was about to burst. Although she does not wear a hairpin ring, it is difficult to hide a natural melancholy charm between her eyebrows, she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, if the posture is slightly inferior to the woman in white, but the childish beauty, but it is particularly good, people can not help but secretly feel pity at first sight.

The magnolia petals in Xiao Rou's hand trembled gently in the wind: "It's him, he must have called your sister, right?" A few days ago, he asked Yumei to tell me...... But Yumei, she ......"

"Yumei?!" Zhang Dahai raised his eyebrows, and his face sank in an instant.

Xiao Rou was startled, immediately silenced, and with a frightened look on her face, she stepped back step by step, shaking her hand again and again: "I don't know!" I don't know where he is! He just told me to wait for him here! I've been waiting for him ......"

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the flowers, and in the noise, an old woman's voice was particularly sharp, as if she was shouting and scolding the servants and maids.

When Xiao Rou heard the voice, her body shook, and she said eagerly: "Ah Shui is here!" ”

Seeing Xiaorou's frightened face, Rose suddenly fell in love, so she cried out: "Little Rou girl......" was about to pull her over, and suddenly there was a flower in front of her, but it was that Xiaorou jumped up, and her body had fallen lightly on the top of the plum tree, and her clothes were windy, like a fairy.

This cowardly woman had such light skills, and Rose couldn't help but be amazed! But seeing her on tiptoe, the whole person flew up in the air, as if she was about to be swayed away by the wind. Rose blurted out: "What a light work!" ”

Rose muttered: "That woman is too weird, and she mentioned the word 'Yumei', what happened to this Liufu?" ”

Zhang Dahai sighed: "Life encounters are really like this magnolia. Once it falls from the branches, it does not know whether it is dusty and turned into mud; It's still paid and flowed, and I don't know what to do. ”

He pointed to the magnolia bush and said, "Liu Zhen is a well-known rich merchant in this town. When he returned from his last business trip, he poured his wealth into the famous 'Mulan Villa' in this town, which is simply a fairyland on earth. Although he has no male under his knees, he has a smart daughter of Bing Xue, and the family lives in peace for a long time, who is not envious? Unexpectedly, both husband and wife died, and this daughter went crazy at the age of sixteen, and she fell to this point. ”

"I heard that the Liu family moved here, not from their hometown. Not only does he have a mysterious background, but he also acts unusually low-key. After Miss Liu went crazy, in the past thirty years, none of the people around her have seen her? Zhang Dahai sighed: "That young lady is crazy, and Liufu is afraid of losing her family's reputation, so naturally she will not show up." After the death of the Liu family and his wife, there was only one old concubine in the family to take care of the housework, and they did not dare to let the young lady show up without authorization. It's just that according to the chronology, it is expected that the young lady should also be a woman of forty-six or seventeen years old. ”

"As soon as I arrived at the villa, something strange happened here. Yumei, the maid of Liufu, committed suicide by throwing herself into the water in a good manner, and before she died, she sang a song "Mo Shanghua", and made a myth about ghosts, which was spread so weirdly by the outside. I don't know if someone is secretly setting up a situation, but it is still for that thing......" Zhang Dahai continued.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps approaching among the flowers, mixed with the sound of talking, but it was a group of people coming through the forest.

The group of people rushed over, led by a woman in gorgeous clothes in her fifties, full of anxiety.

I saw her wearing a pink and gold crossing, a cloud yellow satin skirt, and a belt also woven with gold and embroidered purple, which was gorgeous. The face is deliberately decorated, and there is still a little bit of beauty, but after all, he is old, but he is clearly blue in the gloom.

The rose stood leaning against the railing at this time, the white dress was like snow, and the blue wave pool was facing the water, the water was blue and deep, and there was a faint glow flashing, reflecting her black hair and sideburns.

Without waiting for the woman to speak, the rose gently pointed in the direction of the woman, and said, "Well, madam, when I walked, I floated lightly in front and back, and there was no dull sound; Presumably, when the forefoot lands first, when the heel does not fall, the whole sole of the foot bounces again and again...... It's a deliberately trained step, and if you're young, you must be as light as a willow swing and fluttering like duckweed on a wave...... The steps are so graceful, the demeanor is natural, the words are clear, and the breath is soft—I guess your identity, if you are not a famous trick that washes away the lead, or a red lady who gathers the lute. ”

The woman's face also changed slightly, and her smile narrowed slightly, as if she was taken aback.

She was only startled, then calmed down as usual, lowered her head and smiled lightly: "Presumably this is Boss Rose, right?" The cheap concubine Shui Niang, who has had a hard life since she was a child, only learned a few tunes when she was young, but she never dared to be a girl so ridiculous. ”

Rose smiled slightly and said: "Mrs. Shui, the town says that Master Liu married you as a concubine back then, and spent a full four hundred taels of silver, if it wasn't for the good playing, playing and singing, how could it be worth so much silver?" ”

Shui Niang's eyes were red, and she said: "The old lady is good to me, but it's a pity that she passed away early, our young lady has been sick since she was sixteen years old, and she has been sick for thirty years...... relatives are in danger, and she is in a good place, and she only leaves me a hard-working person to support her " She took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said: "Now Liufu is not as good as a day, and there was such a strange murder a few days ago, and even the public gate is helpless...... Please also ask Boss Rose to help check it! ”

Rose said gently: "Mrs. Shui, I also heard that Yumei's case is very bizarre. She glanced at Zhang Dahai and said, "Escort Zhang, why don't you take me to have a look?" ”

The front garden of Mulan Villa is a hall and guest room, and the back garden is the residence of the owner of Liufu. Rose followed Shui Niang and Zhang Dahai, all the way to see flowers and trees and onion cages, the waterway is quiet, and every pavilion and corridor can hear the sound of gurgling water; If you talk about the beautiful scenery, it is not inferior to the gate of some rich families in Beijing, and you can't help but be secretly surprised.

The lower courtyard where Yumei lives is a small and well-organized house. Three into the wing, the four walls are high and deep, only a small courtyard door is opened on the side, and there is a lonely pond not far from the door. Rose glanced at it occasionally, but saw that the house was deep in the distance, far away from the pavilion, and the eaves and teeth pecked each other, and it was actually another world.

I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of residence is that?" So gorgeous? ”

Shui Niang's body trembled, and she hurriedly replied: "That's my house...... My lady's boudoir is called Jade Heart Pavilion. Yumei, Lucalyx and Mama Li are all waiting for the young lady personally, so they live outside the museum in order to take care of them. ”

Rose Qi said: "Shouldn't the personal waiter live with the young lady?" It's so far away, how convenient is it to serve tea and water? ”

Shui Niang showed an embarrassed look on her face, and said, "This ...... My young lady is not an ordinary person...... often outbursts and hurting people...... They are called personal attendants, but in fact, they are just sending food and clothing through a hole in the wall...... Only Mama Li and Yumei went in once every seven days to help the young lady clean up the house, take a bath and change clothes. ”

Rose suddenly realized, and felt pity in her heart: "I see. Alas, the Zhumen is deep, the trivial household is heavily locked, and the poor young lady has been in a pass for thirty years, and the original appearance of the beautiful jade is now only afraid that it is also dilapidated. ”

Yumei's body rested in the room where she lived before her death.

Two white pieces of paper were crossed at the door, with a big "seal" written in the middle, and the bright red seal of the government was also stamped.

Rose asked, "Escort Zhang, what is the result of the autopsy?" ”

Zhang Dahai said: "I said that the female corpse was stuffed with mud and sand in her mouth and nose, and her abdominal cavity was swollen, which was a sign of drowning." But......" he vigorously scratched the back of his head a few times, and said, "It is strange that when that girl died, her eyes were still wide open. ”

When the roses entered the house, it was early spring, but the room was a little cold. Under the south window, there are two beds side by side, and in the opposite corner of the wall is a dim bronze mirror, in front of which the dressing table is worn out, displaying gouache and rouge.

Rose stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, stared at it for a moment, and then turned back to Shui Niang and Zhang Dahai and said, "The skin is white, and there is sand on the mouth and nose...... It looks like she has drowned...... her eyes turned and fell on the miserable white face of the female corpse, and she couldn't help but be stunned: between the eyebrows of the female corpse, there were five bright and dazzling cinnabar, shaped like plum blossoms, which had not faded because of the immersion in the water, but reflected the lifeless face, which was very strange.

Zhang Dahai also noticed the five-point cinnabar, and said: "This is the plum blossom makeup that came from Beijing, and the ladies in our town will also wear it, but it will fall off as soon as it is washed, how can it be so durable?" ”

Rose walked to the dressing table, picked up a box of rouge and played with it, and said with a smile: "Where do you understand the ingenuity of women's family makeup?" ”

She thoughtfully put down her rouge and glanced at the female corpse: under a closer look, her facial features were very delicate, if she was alive, she must have been looking forward to it, which was very moving; But at this time, those wide-open eyes are like black stones soaked in the bottom of daffodils, cold, as if they are staring at this evil world.

She picked up a handkerchief from the dressing table and praised: "The patterns and stitches on this handkerchief are divine, and this embroidered is a large lotus leaf, and the green yin is very vivid." It's so well embroidered! ”

A little maid couldn't help but interject: "This is the third day before Sister Yumei's death overnight, who knows that the embroidery has not been completed, and the person went to ...... first."

Shui Niang sighed: "Yumei's girl, the needlework is excellent, otherwise she would not be a personal maid for the young lady." Stretched out his hand and beckoned the little maid, and said, "Green Calyx, you and Yumei are in the same house, and you serve the young lady together, and you get along the longest time." She threw herself into the water that night, and you saw it with your own eyes. Why don't you tell Boss Rose about it? (To be continued.) )
