[Confrontation]

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, the condition has indeed improved, the high fever has subsided, and the doctor said that the internal organs were not injured after investigation, which is really lucky! However, the fractures of the left wrist and right leg were plastered and splinted, and the injury on the forehead was fortunately only a knock and the impact was not deep, and the wind and cold suffered by it had to be well regulated. Only the bone injury is slow, and the subordinates have been instructed to serve well.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Ling Tong sat on the bed, his expression was half recovered, wearing a homely jacket, the charcoal basin in the house was very warm, and the small stove was boiling soup outside.

Mother Wu leaned on the edge of the bed and held Ling Tong's little hand and asked, "Tell Mother Wu, how did Miss fall off such a high rockery?" How did you go so far alone? ”

Ling Tong's face was slightly pale, his small mouth trembled slightly, and tears condensed.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, tell Mother Wu slowly" Mother Wu took her into her arms.

She snuggled up to Wu's mother's chest and said aggrievedly: "Mother Wu, is there a Lingyi sister in the eldest uncle's family?" ”

"Lingyi? The old man's girl is called Lingyi! ”

"How did you suddenly ask her?"

"It was Sister Lingyi who took me up the rockery, and it was she who threw me down......"

"Huh? Where is this to start! Wu's mother was surprised

"Tong'er, do you remember clearly? You didn't know her before, how did you know that she was Lingyi? ”

"Besides, she is the eldest daughter, and the old lady often says that she is well-bred and well-behaved, how can she take you to the rockery at night? How could such a ridiculous and dangerous thing be done by the eldest girl of the Guo family? ”

"But she said that she was Sister Lingyi, and she also said that the colorful glass ball could only be seen clearly in the dark......"

"But if it's really her, we looked for you everywhere that day, and she was there, why didn't you say a word?"

"I don't know ......," Ling Tong lowered his eyes

"You tell me more about it......" Ling Tong was small, but his speech was clear, and he roughly described the situation that night.

Mother Wu's face changed immediately after hearing this, and she slapped the table.

"If it was really her, this would be too upside down, and it would be in vain in the name of her eldest daughter of the Guo family! Regardless of whether the young lady fell down on her own intention, knowing that the young lady had an accident, how could she not come to inform me unexpectedly, let the young lady lie on the ground for so long, almost even gave her life! My sister was so cruel...... I'm so! No way! Such a major event cannot be tolerated! The old lady also said that she wanted to find out about the matter, so I will sue Mrs. Sù! ”

After saying that, he went out in a huff.

The matter soon spread from the third wife Xinliu to the housekeeper Guo Chengli, and on the second day, Ling Tong was getting up late and was freshening up, and a mouthful of tooth salt was in his mouth before he spit it out, and he saw a group of people coming to his room from the courtyard, and Yanzi hurriedly served her to rinse her mouth and wipe her face.

Walking in the front is the eldest lady Zheng of Beifu, behind a young lady with a handsome appearance and a face like frost, and a son with a square face and a gentle face, all three of them are well-dressed and noble, and there is a man with a copper face standing next to the eldest lady is the old housekeeper Guo Chengli.

This cadre seemed to come with the cold outside, which made Tong shiver.

"Aren't you three wives here?" The eldest lady asked, looking around at the crowd.

"The eldest lady came suddenly, and our wife didn't know about it, so let me go and ask for it," Wu's mother said.

When the new willows heard the sound, they saluted each other and returned the salute.

"Xinliu, I heard that Ling Tong fell off the rockery, it was caused by our family Lingyi's tiredness, I have asked her, and she said that there is no such thing, and Lingyi was watching the fireworks that day, I was also on the side, Ling Shang Lingxuan and the two brothers were present, I don't know what misunderstanding there is? Today, I came to ask, isn't Ling Tong young, and I don't know if I remember it wrong? ”

Then he turned to Ling Tong and asked, "Ling Tong, are you feeling better today?" ”

"Aunt Hui, it's much better today."

"You said, it was Lingyi who led you to the rockery that day, but there is a difference?"

Ling Tong said in a low voice: "That sister said her name is Ling Yi"

"Okay, let's take a look at the one in front of you?" After speaking, he pointed to the young lady beside him.

Before Ling Tong could take a closer look, she had already taken two steps forward and asked with a hint of anger: "How did the **** ever meet you?" How did he take you to climb rockeries? How can you talk nonsense? ”

I saw that she was quite tall, her face was long and her eyes were beautiful, and her voice was very different from the sister she met that night, which made Tong suddenly confused.

Seeing that Ling Tong was dumbfounded, she approached: "Take a good look, am I that person?" Perhaps, you heard it wrong, remembered it wrong? Besides, you climbed onto the rockery and fell down the rockery by yourself, afraid that your aunt would scold you, so you lied that someone took you there? ”

"It's not!" Ling Tong was aggrieved, and tears fell.

"There was a sister who took me up the rockery to see the glass ball lights, saying that it was dark and looked good" Yu Bi whimpered and cried, and Wu's mother hurriedly took her into her arms: "Why is the eldest lady scared her!" At such a young age, how dare she go to such a high place alone, and it is night! Let her think about it! And he suffered such a great sin...... It's not good yet," he said, wiping away tears.

Seeing this, Ling Yishi changed her gentle tone: "Okay, okay, I know that my sister has suffered a lot, but that night, I was indeed watching the fireworks with my brother and younger brother...... I haven't met you yet! ”

"That night, Ling Yi and I watched the fireworks with Ling Xuan, and never left, because Ling Yi was timid, but she loved the twenty-four colored flower robes the most, and I lit them with incense and led her to see them...... Tong'er, the person who took you away that night shouldn't be Ling Yi."

The one who said this was the young man with a wide forehead, and he was also the eldest son of the eldest master, who inherited the third waiting of the Guo Mansion, Ling Shang, who was gentle and calm.

Shinyanagi felt that something was strange and stepped forward and asked.

"Tong'er, can you see clearly, Sister Ling Yi is the sister of that night?"

"It's not ......," Ling Tong said

"That sister isn't that tall,......" Shinyanagi thought for a moment, turned to the eldest lady, and made a gesture to kneel.

The eldest lady hurriedly supported her and said, "Xinliu, what are you doing here?" ”

"Eldest sister, please forgive me for the sin of untruthful words, and Ling Yi, please forgive Ling Tong for the unintentional sin"

The eldest lady took Shinyanagi's hand.

"Xinliu, you are too outward, Ling Tong is a child, it is not a big deal to remember or say the wrong thing, just figure it out now, Ling Yi is the eldest sister, even if she suffers a little grievance for the younger sister, it doesn't matter, the key is, who is the person that night, it's really strange, why lie that it was Ling Yi who harmed Ling Tong, this is still important!" ……

After speaking, he glanced at Ling Yi, and a trace of doubt flashed on Ling Yi's face.

"Third aunt, let's let Tong'er think about it, the girl's appearance and dress, and see if you can find ......"

Ling Shang said on the side.

Xinliu said: "The three masters in the house plus the domestic servants, I am afraid that there are not 200 girls of this age, but there are also 100**, and it is at night, Ling Tong is young and I am afraid that I can't remember clearly, and it is difficult to find it!" If you continue to chase after the wind and shadows like this, it will make the family uneasy, and I don't know how many turmoil will be born, I can't say it, so I have to forget it. ”

"The third lady doesn't have to worry, I will carefully investigate and verify, as long as I have a slight eyebrow, I will immediately report to the old lady, I can't let Miss Ten suffer this in vain!"

The one who spoke like a Hong Zhong was the housekeeper Guo Chengli, he was an old man who had followed his master since the time of Mrs. Guo, and he was six years older than the old marquis Guo Tantu, and he was the most powerful domestic servant in Guo's mansion.

At this moment, a girl hurriedly walked in and said, "Mrs., the eldest master is back, I want you to go back immediately!" ”

The group left quickly, Xinliu walked to the bed, held Ling Tong's little face with both hands and said: "Tong'er is wronged, but this matter is not easy to investigate, before there is no news, it is better to recuperate and talk less, can you remember?" ”

Ling Tong nodded.

In the evening, Ling Tong sat at the kang table and ate red dates and millet porridge.

Yanzi opened the curtain and came in and said, "Mother Wu, guess what happened when the eldest lord of Beifu suddenly came back today?" "She has a playful look and is a clever girl.

"How do I know, you naughty one, say it quickly!"

"It is said that two immortals have died in the palace one after another, and the emperor wants to draft a concubine!"

"The emperor means that he will no longer enter the people, it is estimated that the old queen mother will not agree! This year's drought in the northwest has only suppressed malaria in the suburbs of Beijing, and the treasury is tight, and it is estimated that there will be no movement until the year after tomorrow! Mother Wu said

"The year after? Isn't the prince going to choose a concubine? Could it be that colleagues in the palace do two major things? In this case, why don't our eldest lady choose the crown princess? ”

"Mother Wu, do you say that it is better to choose the emperor's mother? Or is it better to be the prince's concubine? In the long run, it's still the crown princess, right? The swallow smiled skillfully and played with her braids.

"Where did you do this by yourself, it depends on the meaning of Concubine Su Gui in the palace"

"Concubine Su Gui should also see it this way, right?"

"You know what? Little girl, a ......," Wu Ma said lightly.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to enter the palace, it's better to be a mother than to marry a young talent who is a good family......"

"Let's take Concubine Su Gui as an example, she was still favored back then, and it has been more than ten years of proud days, after the death of the first emperor, she became a concubine, and she can't see the end of her life alone in that deep palace, what's so interesting about this!"

Yanzi asked, "Then who is Concubine Su Gui from our Guo Mansion?" ”

"Actually, it can't be counted as a person from Guo Mansion, this Concubine Su Gui is called Su Yan, and she is the aunt of our old marquis, just because the Su family has no son, I regard the old marquis as the half son of Su Mansion......"

"Isn't there a Master Su Zhan in Su Mansion? Last time I heard my wife say that the eldest girl in her family is beautiful and capable, and she will marry into our family in the future! ”

"You clever ghost! You know everything! The Su family has never had a son, and since they recognized the old marquis as their stepson, they became pregnant in the second year! ”

"Then let's talk about it, our old marquis is blessed!" Mother Wu gestured and twisted her mouth and continued.

"The old marquis's mother left early, and she also regarded her aunt as a mother."

"Oh, no wonder Concubine Su Gui has always valued our mansion and often appreciates things......," Yanzi nodded and said.

Saying that, she inadvertently turned to Ling Tong, only to see her sitting blankly, looking out the window, and the porridge in her mouth was not swallowed, Yanzi was frightened, and patted her shoulder, "Third Miss, what's wrong with Third Miss?" ”

"Master......" Ling Tong shouted loudly, crying out and vomiting the porridge in his mouth.

It turned out that Qing Yan left the medicine bottle that day and left, everyone didn't notice it, they all said that she came and went without a trace, more than 20 days passed in a blink of an eye, there was no news of her at all, and now Ling Tong wants to find the master, there is really nowhere to find it!

Seeing that she was crying very sadly, Wu's mother didn't know the essentials and said: "Go open the East Corner Gate, go open the East Corner Gate, find a little guy to wait there, and when you see Master Qingyan, please come in quickly!" ”

Although the subordinates responded, they secretly laughed in their hearts, as if the door of the east corner was opened, and people would come; Since Wu's mother said it, she didn't dare not open it.

Half an hour later, Ah Cai ran into the yard with a shout: "This is strange, Miss wants to find it, so she came to ......"

Ling Tong sat on the bed and stared at the outside of the tent with dark eyes, and Wu's mother saw her so busy and said, "Huh? Is Master Qingyan really here? Ah Cai, quickly bring people in! ”

Ah Cai came in, but there was only one person.

"Back to Mother Wu, Master Qingyan didn't come, but just sent someone to send a burden, saying that it was for Miss."

He handed it over with a yellow cloth bag in his hand.

The cloth bag opened up to be a brocade box, opened the brocade box, and there was a colorful glass ball inside, Ling Tong felt familiar, but he was confused, Wu Ma suddenly realized next to him: "This is the colorful glass ball lamp that Miss got, this lamp also fell from a height that day, the outer layer was broken, and the inside was fine!" ”

"When Master Qingyan saw the broken lamp on the case, he said that this thing is a spiritual object, and although it has been damaged, it cannot be desecrated, and leave it to me, and I will go to its anger...... I gave it to her, and I didn't want to return it today......"

"What did the person who sent it say?" Wu's mother asked

"It is said that there is a letter in the box, please see it to Mother Wu"

Wu's mother really saw a letter in the brocade box, and when she took it out, there seemed to be a cool smell, which smelled very good.

"Ling Tong apprentice: The outer layer of the glass ball lamp is broken and ominous, I chant the scriptures have been hidden, the inner beauty can be preserved, it is the blessing of the gods, this thing please hide deep in the inner room, not dazzling in front of people! It will be useful in the future! As a teacher, there are still mundane affairs in the body, and I should meet you after the end;

The good and bad in the hands and feet are uneven, and they must be carefully screened; There is still a catastrophe in your luck, and this heavenly opportunity is also! It's inconvenient to say more, please cherish yourself, strive to save in danger, don't forget to be strong in good times, he will be of great use in the future, remember! ”

Mother Wu was silent after reading it, and she was stunned, and neither Yanzi nor Shizuka dared to ask more......
