Half an hour later, Aunt Liu slowly walked out of the upper room, her face calm and calm.

Go to the old warehouse in the backyard of the West Mansion, take out the flint and velvet from the sleeve, light a handful of dry firewood, and lean the dry firewood against the warehouse door, watch the fire gradually rise, this warehouse is a perennial place to pile up sundries, the back of the house is relatively deserted, and several old houses are not inhabited, inside are some old furniture, old clothes, broken utensils, etc., although it is not worth anything, but they are flammable, once the fire is ignited, it is shocking to look at, the fire is a top priority in Guo's house, According to the rule, both the master and the domestic slave must be present to put out the fire, and if no one is seen at the fire, they will be punished.

The firelight reflected Aunt Liu's slightly puffy face, and there were still vague palm prints, and the flames had risen about two people high. She listened intently, as if someone had discovered the fire, and the sound of running and screaming came from afar, so she hid into the shadows and walked in the shadows, she did not take the long corridor and the path, but passed through the trees in the garden, and in a blink of an eye came to her small courtyard, and found a tree shadow to hide.

I saw that the three people guarding the courtyard looked panicked and were talking, and one of them said: "We also have to go to put out the fire, this is the old rule!" If the housekeeper finds out that we haven't went, we will be unlucky tomorrow! At that time, the master may not speak for us, isn't it in vain? ”

Another said, "What's the point, let's go!" After saying that, the three of them also ran towards the fire.

Aunt Liu got up from the bushes, looked at Ling Han's small window from a distance through the fence, her eyes were endless tenderness and attachment, so stupid for a moment, she turned around silently, still walked from the woods for about half a moment, came to a long alley, at this moment the alley door was wide open, the night watchman also went to put out the fire, she quietly walked to the end of the alley, saw that there was no one around and turned left, there was a small corner door.

Walked forward and gently pulled the door bolt, squeaked and pushed it away, the probe looked out, a few meters under the moon, a carriage was already waiting quietly, she went out, did not forget to close the door, took a deep breath, cold but with a trace of fireworks, reached out to wipe the last tear on his face, walked to the carriage, the carriage immediately jumped a person, reached out to hold her slender shoulders and said in surprise: "Liu'er, you are finally here!" ”

More than half an hour ago, the second old man, who was unable to sit on the Taishi chair, watched with gloomy eyes as Aunt Liu, who seemed to be a complete stranger, walked out of the door, and it was difficult to calm the unwillingness and hatred in his heart for a long time.

"Katsuko! Katsuko! He called a few times in a row, but no one answered, and after a while, a little family member hurriedly ran over and said timidly: "Master, Shengzi is not in the house, you sent him to guard Aunt Liu's courtyard!" ”

"Then, call Zhou Zhenglai"

After a while, Zhou Zheng came from the wife's courtyard quickly, "What is the matter with the master calling the slaves?" ”

"Let me ask you, how long did you stay in the Zhou Mansion before you came to the Guo Mansion?"

"Back to the master, the slave is the slave of the Zhou Mansion, and he was in the Zhou Mansion until he was twenty years old."

"Do you know that Aunt Liu is with Zhou Tie...... Is the relationship between the two of them harmonious? ”

"Back to the master, the three of us, and the horse face, Chengzi almost grew up together, the aunt has a soft temperament, and the relationship with several people is harmonious, her dishes are good, and the wine is also brewed well, sometimes she will give some to us, and everyone will read her good!"

"Hmm...... I know, from tomorrow, you find someone for me to secretly watch Aunt Liu, see where she goes every day, what she does, and who she contacts with, and you will report it in person every night! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting outside: "The warehouse is out of water!" The storeroom is out of water! Come to the rescue! All come out to save! The second master was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly went out to check.

The house slaves were busy putting out the fire, Linon and Lingqi also came out of the house, standing on the steps under the porch, Linon was wrapped in a big sweater, tiptoed to look at the sky-high fire, and said: "The old lady has been shouting for more than ten years to set the fire but has not started, I don't know who put it for me?" ”

Ling Qi laughed and said, "It wasn't you?" I said, this fire is too small, only lit a broken warehouse, it's better to take advantage of this time that there is no one in the room, I will accompany you there to set a fire, you have been wishing for many years, what do you think? ”

Who knew that Linon didn't pay attention to her son this time, and fell into thought with doubts on her face.

Ling Han also found the fire in the northwest corner of the small building, and only looked at it coldly, Xiaomei looked at it against the window and couldn't help but say urgently: "Oh, I have to go too!" What can I do? She pulled Ling Han's sleeve and begged: "Second Miss, you are the best, the most kind-hearted, you are good, stay in the house obediently and don't go out, I have to go and see, okay?" ”

Ling Han nodded: "You go, I won't go out, and I don't want to make trouble anymore, it's useless to make trouble anyway......"

Xiaomei blessed her, opened the door and saw that Katsuko and the others had already disappeared, and couldn't help complaining that he didn't call herself, and then hurriedly ran downstairs to the warehouse.

Ling Han called his mother twice, but no one answered, he thought he was going to put out the fire, thinking about his special situation, it was better to stay in the house, so he turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Ling Han woke up and it was already dawn, and the first thing he did when he got up was to open the door, but he didn't lock it! Xiao Shan ran upstairs when he heard the voice and said with a panicked expression: "Miss, my aunt is gone!" ”

"Nonsense, how could my mother not see, she must be busy in the flower room, right?"

"Not in the flower room! The room is not there! After she gave the wine to Aunt Li last night, she came back to change her clothes and went out again, and she never saw her again......"

"The fire in the warehouse last night was not too big, the masters were all standing next to it, and I searched for several times and didn't see her!"

"I'll go with you to see it!"

Ling Han and Xiao Shan came to her mother's room, and saw that the bed and bedding were all cold, and she had never slept at all, opened the wardrobe, and there was no cotton clothes and cloak in winter, and then looked at her gold and silver jewelry box, it was empty, and she couldn't help but feel weak and anxious, and tears came down, Xiao Shan hurriedly helped her sit down.

"Miss think about it, what strange behavior did Mrs. Aunt have yesterday?"

Ling Han recalled that her mother came to see her in the evening and said all those casual talks, and remembered the children's songs she asked her to sing, and the last sentence: "Tomorrow is the eighth day of the new year, and the purse flowers are ......" She muttered.

"Purse flowers?" Ling Han and her mother depended on each other, and the mother and daughter had a mutual understanding, she ran downstairs with the corner of her skirt and ran to the big flower room in the yard, followed by Xiaoshan.

Hundreds of pots of flowers in the flower room were placed on the ground or resting on the shelves, dazzling, Ling Han glanced at a few times and found a pot of orange purse flowers on the third row of shelves.

Hold it up and take a closer look, only to see that its leaves are round and heart-shaped, the tip edge has sparse short tines, and the surface is soft and hairy, I can't help but think of what my mother said, orange-red purse flowers can bring assistance and wealth, she lifted the pot slightly and found that the bottom of the pot was sticking to something, and was about to take it off, but she heard the noisy sound in the courtyard, listened carefully, there was the voice of the second master, she was busy tearing off the thing, picked up the short silk jacket on her body, hid it closely, put the flower in an inconspicuous corner, and looked down to see that there was nothing wrong. Grab a pot of daffodils and walk out.
