"Huh? Oh~~ Oh, yes, it's good to come out once in a while, hehe! ”

Li Taiming made a perfunctory haha, instead of facing his father, who always likes to teach people, he would rather follow the distinguished guest who doesn't like to talk coldly, at least he won't teach people, and he won't talk too much.

Liang Chenjing paced slowly in front of the stable, looking at every horse in the stable with his sharp eyes, indeed, he was very interested in horses, especially good horses, silver is not a problem, but the heart of a thousand miles of horses is hard to find, just like modern men are full of interest in good cars.

Li Taiming followed Liang Chenjing to observe carefully, and whenever he saw him stay in front of the stable for a long time, he would ask: "General Liang, what do you think of this horse?" ”

"Ok! It's just too docile! ”

"Isn't it good to be docile?"

"Anyone can subdue a docile horse, and anyone can take it away, it's not good."

Li Taiming thought about it and said with a smile; "Makes sense! General Liang is indeed a man who understands horses. ”

"Not really."

In front of the next stable, Liang Chenjing stood for a longer time: "General Liang, this horse is good, right?" The hair is shiny and the size is ......."

"It's just a pair of skin, and it's useless."

Li Taiming choked for a moment, and then walked down, "General Liang, what do you think of this horse?" ”

Liang Chenjing stared at the horse and didn't answer, Li Taiming looked at his side face, and saw that his eyes were not on the horse, but turned his head slightly, as if he was looking next door.

He also glanced next door, and saw two young men washing the stables next door, and one of them said, "Alas. It's a pity, we finally got two beautiful girls from the racecourse, and I thought there was a door. I didn't stay two days and left! ”

"you, no one else, even if you stay, they can't look down on you."

"Who? Aren't they all descendants of the Hou Mansion? Miss Xiangxiang is Boss Wu's daughter, doesn't Boss Wu want to find a son-in-law who knows his roots? We're not bad, why can't we be? What's more, the other one is still dumb, he can't speak, and he is pointing fingers all day long. Do you still want to climb to the master and be a grandmother? ”

"What's wrong with not being able to speak? People are literate and hyphenated, kind, and good-looking, you are a stable sweeper, and people don't say that you are not. You're talking about people, I'm sorry for you! ”

"Hey, you kid, are you trying to find fault? Who are you, Miss Qiu'er? I'll just say she's mute. Are you concerned? What's more, she was originally mute. I don't accept you to let her say something! ”

"The girl Qiu'er is so beautiful and beautiful, I just can't get used to hearing others say bad things about him!"

"I'm going to say what? You stinky boy, do you still want toad meat? ”

"You ......"

The two of them started a fire as they spoke, and they stared at each other with their necks blowing their beards, as if they could fight at any moment.

Li Taiming cleared his throat, and the two little guys turned around when they heard the sound, and they were startled when they saw Li Taiming, and hurriedly bowed their heads and called the second young master. Li Taiming picked up the shelf and snorted coldly: "You two lazy things, you dare to talk about the maid in my house in private." What a guts! ”

"The second young master is angry, the little one knows that he is wrong!"

"Why don't you get to work quickly?"

"Yes, yes!" The two little guys hurriedly picked up the broom and brushed and worked hard for a while. Li Taiming saw that they were quite honest, and he didn't plan to pursue it, so he turned back to Liang Chenjing and said, "General Liang, I'm smiling!" Let's move on, shall we? ”

Liang Chenjing didn't move, looking thoughtful: "Second son, may I ask ......?"

"General Liang, please speak."

"May I ask if there is really a maid in your mansion who is literate and can't speak?"

"Yes, Qiu'er girl, it's my concubine's personal maid, what's wrong, General Liang?"

Liang Chenjing hesitated slightly: "That maid is called Qiu'er?" ”

"Yes!" Li Taiming thought for a while and smiled: "Could it be that General Liang likes to read and break words and can't speak?" It's not easy, I'll let Qiu'er girl come to serve by the general's side when I go home later! ”

Liang Chenjing wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he changed his words and said, "Then there will be labor!" ”

Li Taiming's eyes flickered, and he was surprised in his heart, this General Liang doesn't eat oil and salt, he always looks cold, it turns out that he still has seven emotions and six desires, he likes to read and write, is talented but doesn't like to talk? It's not easy, I'll find him three or five talented girls to send it over later, and make sure he can't stop it.

Li Taiming was thinking a little bit in his heart, and suddenly heard someone behind him calling him: "Second young master, it's not good!" Second young master! ”

Li Taiming turned around and saw that the person who came was a small boy in the racecourse, he had just found some common language with Liang Chenjing, and he would definitely not be happy when he was suddenly interrupted. said with a cold face: "What is the noise, what is the noise?" Is the sky falling? ”

The little guy ran over and panted and said, "The second young master is not good, there is an accident in the house, the master has rushed back, let you go back to the house quickly." ”

"Something? What can happen in the house? ”

"I don't know much about the little ones, I heard about ...... It seems that the house was stolen! ”

"Huh? My dad's treasure cabinet was stolen? ”

"This ...... The little one is not clear, the master asked you to go back quickly. ”

Li Taiming hesitated slightly, looked back at Liang Chenjing, Liang Chenjing said lightly: "The second young master is busy in advance, I'll take a look at the horse, and I'll go back to the house later." ”

"General Liang, I'm really sorry, so I'll go first?"

Liang Chen nodded and watched Li Taiming leave in a hurry.

After Li Taiming walked away, he turned around and asked the little guy who was working hard in the stable: "Hey, you two!" ”

The two looked back, although they didn't know this person, seeing that Li Taiming was so respectful to him, and called him a general, presumably a distinguished guest in the house, the two didn't dare to slack off, and arched their hands and said, "Son, please command." ”

"Let me ask you, what's the matter with those two maids you just mentioned?"

The two glanced at each other: "...... is Childe referring to?" ”

"Didn't you say that there is a maid who can't speak but can read and hyphenate, tell me about her, what's the matter?"

The two hesitated for a while, and then stammered: "Childe, the younger one has seen that girl twice, and I know that her name is Qiu'er." I don't know anything else! ”

"Qiu'er? How do you know her name is Qiu'er? ”

"Oh, that girl is a good sister to my eldest daughter, Miss Xiangxiang, and has been to our horse farm twice. We don't know how. ”

Liang Chenjing thought for a while, took out a picture scroll from his arms and unfolded it: "Look at it, the portrait in this painting doesn't look like that girl?" ”

The two of them only looked at each other and showed surprise: "Yes, yes, it's her!" That's her! Childe, how do you ......?"

He didn't say a word, and quickly tightened his neck, the boy had already come closer.

"Are you sure you read that right?" Liang Chenjing picked up the little guy. The little guy stammered in fright: "I'...... I ......"

"You see, it's really her?"

"I ...... I ...... "It happened so suddenly that the little guy couldn't react." He stammered and couldn't speak.

Liang Chenjing was so excited that his heart tightened, he threw away the little guy, flew out, and made Shangqinggong quickly sweep in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

At this time, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion was in chaos. In the smoke willow courtyard, which is usually listed as a forbidden place. Mrs. Tian sat on her knees on the ground and cried: "My son, Tai'an, my son, who caused you to be like this!" O my son! ”

Li Guoshun, the Marquis of Dingguo, walked around anxiously, and there was a string of maids and wives standing next to him, some of whom served the Tian family, and some of whom had been to this courtyard, of course. Liu Yan'er and Zhuang Silian are also among them.

Tian's cry upset Li Guoshun, and she stopped and roared: "What are you yelling about? Didn't you arrange for someone to guard this courtyard? Human? Where did the people go? ”

Tian paused to wipe away his tears. Looking around, she stretched out her hand, and Mother Du behind her hurriedly helped her up, and she hurriedly went to the room at the gate of the courtyard: "Yu Niang!" Yu Niang? Go and call Yu Niang out. ”

Mother Du said in a low voice: "Madam, who is Yu Niang?" ”

Tian was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to stare at her: "Yu Niang is the mother-in-law who guards this courtyard, have you forgotten?" ”

Mother Du thought for a while: "Do you mean the white-haired janitor?" The old woman had already gone a few days ago! ”

"What? When was this? How did I not know? ”

"Madam, the slave maid reported to you, you were still sick at the time, and only said that she was buried, and did not say anything else!"

"Impossible, Yu Niang is young, not thirty or forty years old, how can she suddenly die of illness?"

Mother Du was a little dazed: "But ...... But every time the slave maid came, she only saw a gray-haired old lady, who looked like she was about to die, at least sixty or seventy years old! ”

"No, I lived in this courtyard a few days ago, Yu Niang is obviously only about forty years old, and there is also a white-haired old lady, Mother Du, don't you even know this?"

Mother Du was speechless in a daze, her expression was not like speaking, it seemed that she really didn't know.

This time, there seemed to be more than one or two confused, Zhuang Silian asked in a low voice: "Sister Yan'er, is this really the case?" ”

"Yes, there are indeed two people in this courtyard, but if Mother Du doesn't even know about it, this matter will be strange!"

Li Guoshun said angrily: "No matter one or two, there must be something wrong with the guard's mother-in-law, come here, report to the official quickly, draw a portrait, and the thief woman named Yu Niang is wanted in the whole city." ”

The courtyard was quiet for a while, and the second young master Li Taiming hurriedly came in: "Father, mother, I heard that there are thieves in the house?" What have you lost? ”

As soon as she saw Li Taiming, Tian's tears came out again, and she walked over tremblingly and took Li Taiming's hand and cried: "Taiming! Taemin, your big brother...... Your eldest brother was killed by thieves, you have to stand up for your eldest brother! ”

Li Taiming was stunned for a moment, and then helped Tian and said, "Mother, are you confused?" Didn't the eldest brother go to Western Bliss a long time ago? It's been two or three years, how can you say that the eldest brother was killed by thieves? ”

Tian's crying stopped abruptly, she looked at Li Taiming in a daze and couldn't speak for a long time, the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little embarrassing, Tian looked back at the Hou Ye Li Guoshun, Li Guoshun's face was also very ugly, he was silent for a long time and waved his hand and said: "That's it, Tai'an is destined to be like this, let's choose a day to bury!" ”

Tian's body softened, and he knelt down with a puff: "No, master!" No, I can't! Taean ...... Taean Ta ......"

"Father, what are you talking about? Wasn't the eldest brother buried a long time ago? ”

Li Guoshun looked at Li Taiming and didn't know how to explain, Tian couldn't cry anymore: "No, master, Tai'an can obviously come back to life, if you don't catch the thief for a day, I won't let him be buried for a day, master, please!" I'm begging you! ”

Tian actually kowtowed to Li Guoshun in front of his son and subordinates, Li Guoshun was quite helpless, and he also looked angry and hateful but didn't know how to be good.

Zhuang Silian and Liu Yan'er glanced at each other, the two looked at each other, Zhuang Silian stepped forward to help Tian's family, and Liu Yan'er walked to Li Taiming's side.

Liu Yan'er asked in a low voice, "Second Young Master, what's wrong with Madame?" Why is it so sad? ”

Li Taiming patted Liu Yan'er's hand: "It's okay, Yan'er, you go back to the house to rest first, my mother is probably missing her eldest brother and is crazy!" ”

Tian, who had just been helped up by Zhuang Silian, was furious when he heard this, and pointed at Li Tai'an and scolded angrily: "You unfilial thing, your eldest brother was just killed by thieves, you dare to curse your mother like this in front of your mother, you ...... You ......"

Li Taiming's face changed, and he quickly brushed Liu Yan'er's hand away, and stepped forward to help Tian: "Mother is angry, isn't it okay if I said something wrong?" But Mother, the eldest brother has indeed gone a long time ago, why didn't you put it down earlier? ”

"Nonsense, your eldest brother is obviously alive, if it weren't for the thieves stealing it...... Steal ......"

"What did you steal?"

Tian choked again and couldn't speak, Li Guoshun couldn't hide this matter, and said in a deep voice: "Daughter-in-law, you go back to rest first, and everyone else withdraws, Taiming, you come into the house with me." ”

Zhuang Silian and Liu Yan'er helped Tian and a group of subordinates to exit the mysterious courtyard one after another, they looked back at Li Guoshun and Li Taiming who entered the upper room, the two looked at each other, remembering what they had seen with their own eyes before, and the two of them still have palpitations now.

They were originally fully prepared, planning to stun Yu Niang first, and then a few people joined forces to break the mechanism in the black room, who knew that the door of the courtyard was not closed today, and they couldn't find Yu Niang after searching the entire courtyard.

There was also the mysterious upper room, they were ready to attack it, but at the slightest touch, the door opened by itself, how could there be any mechanism? What was even more striking was that when they lit the oil lamp and went in, there was nothing but a shriveled corpse.

As soon as they were discharged from the hospital, they felt a breeze blowing in front of them, and then there stood in front of them a young man with a cold face and a handsome appearance.

"Master Hou?" Liang Chenjing came up and asked.

Tian was in a bad mood at this time, and he didn't plan to answer Liang Chenjing, so Zhuang Silian said: "I'm sorry, General Liang, my father-in-law is in the courtyard for something, can I ask General Liang to wait for a while?" ”

Liang Chenjing thought for a while: "Then may I ask the young lady, can I ask you about the individual?" ”

"General Liang, please speak."

Liang Chenjing took out the portrait and sent it to Zhuang Silian: "May I ask if the young lady has seen this person?" ”

Decoration and Liu Yan'er recognized it as Xiao Xia at a glance, and the two looked at each other in surprise: "General Liang, you ...... Know her? ”

Seeing their reactions, what the horse farm boy said was true, Liang Chenjing was excited, and even his voice was a little nervous: "May I ask the young lady, where is she now?" (To be continued.) )
