The summer night is not lonely, even the moonlight is warm. Linglong let go of Feng's hands, but she had already held her mother's hand.

The mother's hands were pale and thin, and her wrists were dry and dull. Linglong remembers her mother, who often wears a pair of gold and jade bracelets on her hands, she is plump and gorgeous, and she can only stuff a handkerchief in the bracelet.

It's been less than 10 years. The beautiful woman who used to be like flowers and jade has become a thin and withered madwoman in front of her.

Linglong sighed in her heart, and swept her eyes, but saw that the mother-in-law was still cowering in the corner and didn't dare to come over, her right hand was clenched into a fist, and there seemed to be something between her fingers.

At this time, Feng Shi had already begun to doze off, she was like this, every time her madness passed, it was like a thread, and the whole person soon lost her spirit.

Linglong glanced at the Dai Pozi again from the corner of her eye, and saw that her right hand had been released, and the things in her hand had obviously been thrown away.

"On behalf of the mother, you come to serve the eldest lady to rest, I let the kitchen cook Huaishan porridge, if the mother wakes up later, you will give her to drink, if you have been asleep, you will use it again tomorrow morning."

Linglong commanded softly, she had always been like this, and she spoke unhurriedly, and she couldn't see any waves in her voice.

The mother-in-law agreed, and then she came over, replaced Linglong, and served Feng Shi lying flat on the phoenix peony pillow containing Cassia.

This pillow was embroidered by Linglong's own hands, and the cassia in it was eye-catching, and she also put it in by herself.

Taking advantage of the fact that the mother-in-law was serving the Feng family, Linglong glanced at Xingyu, and Xingyu asked the mother-in-law: "Where is the Baihuixiang, I'll help you order it, it really doesn't smell good to stay in this house for a long time." ”

The acting mother-in-law was giving Feng's Gaixia quilt, and promised in her mouth: "I'm tired of the girl, the incense box is on the shelf." ”

Xingyu pretended to get the incense box, but blocked Linglong with her body, and Linglong took advantage of the fact that the mother-in-law turned around, and quickly stuffed the ball of things thrown under the basin shelf next to the corner into her sleeve, which was a paper ball.

By the time the acting mother-in-law had settled the Feng family, Linglong and Xingyu had already left the east wing and returned to the west wing where they lived.

Linglong took out the paper ball in her sleeve and stretched it out, thinking that there would be words on the paper, but she didn't expect it to be empty, and there was not a word on the paper.

Linglong looked at the paper and was stunned for a while. What was held in her hand by the mother-in-law must be this piece of paper, even if this paper was thrown casually on the case, it would not attract attention, but why did she hide it sneakily.

And why did the mother, who was originally good, suddenly have another seizure?

Linglong looked at the piece of paper, motionless.

This is no ordinary paper, this is mulberry paper. This kind of paper is more flexible than rice paper, and it is full of antiquity for painting and writing. In her previous life, Linglong followed her master Mary Qin to learn how to preliminarily identify rare books with the naked eye, which is also a basic kung fu to avoid the ancient books and paintings that have been stolen back with great difficulty being fakes.

Mulberry paper is not only tougher than rice paper, but also has a unique raw material and manufacturing process that makes it last longer. Therefore, most of the ancient scriptures and even genealogies are used in this kind of mulberry paper.

Linglong also uses rice paper on weekdays. That is to say, this kind of paper is not something that a subordinate like a mother-in-law can get.

Could it be that my mother got sick when she saw this piece of paper?

This is far away from the capital, and it is not a three-room private property, except for the mother-in-law, there will be no more people from Song Xiuzhu.

Either this piece of paper was brought from the capital by the mother-in-law, or someone gave it to her today.

Who could it be?

Linglong thought of Jin Zifeng, if you ask who will have mulberry paper in his hand, it is most likely him.

Thinking of this, Linglong's heart pounded. She only complained about her brother's unfilial piety to her mother before, but she never suspected anything. Could it be that my brother is also like Song Xiuzhu and her children, hoping that his mother will be crazy forever and even die?

Linglong didn't dare to think about it anymore, she shook her head vigorously, but it was just a piece of paper, so don't think too much.

She regrouped the piece of paper and let Xingyu throw it into the east wing through the crack in the window, so as not to be discovered by the mother-in-law that the paper was missing.

Xingyu threw the paper ball back, and saw that Huancui was still standing in the hall, so she said angrily: "The fifth miss was almost injured, you didn't go in to help, what are you doing here, I'm afraid that the fifth miss will scold you!" ”

Huancui's face was red, and her eyes were also red: "Sister Xingyu, I was panicked, I don't know what to do for a while, please talk to Miss Five, don't want me because of this." ”

Xingyu snorted from her nose and said, "You also know it's a good errand." ”

Huancui couldn't help nodding: "I used to be a fire girl, and I thought that although I followed the young lady, although I was beautiful, I would inevitably suffer from trouble." But when I came here, Miss Five was so good to people, I really didn't want to go back to the fire room. Please, Sister Xingyu, don't want me. ”

Xingyu grew up in an old house in Jiangsu, where it is not as quiet as the western mansion of the capital, but it is also a dark tide.

"You're not stupid, you know you can't go back to the fire. You were beaten by Mrs. Song like this, and you were accepted by Miss Five, and when you go back to the fire room, you can only have a worse life than before. ”

In fact, Xingyu just didn't say it, Huancui also thought of it. If she sends it back again, the housekeeper's mother can make her live worse in the fire room than before by making her excuse casually.

Huancui was about to cry, looking at Xingyu, Xingyu burst out laughing: "Miss Fifth is not such a stingy person, you will work hard in the future, help Miss Five more, maybe when Miss Fifth gets married, I can let you follow with you." ”

Huancui's somewhat handsome face finally showed a smile, and it was the best and best errand to be a dowry girl for Miss Five.

"Sister Xingyu, I will do whatever Miss Fifth asks me to do in the future, Sister Xingyu, if you have a job, tell me to do it, I am doing the work of chopping wood in the fire room, among so many people, I have the most strength."

Xingyu said with a smile: "Fifth Miss doesn't need you to chop wood, you just need to focus on our Fifth Miss in the future." ”

Is it that simple? Huancui couldn't help nodding: "I will listen to Miss Five's words in the future." ”

Ten Thoughts......

Linglong sat alone in front of the embroidery frame to embroider a screen for Linlang, and in the afternoon she fell with a lot of meat and eight poisons, and there are still a few places on her body that are still sore.

Linglong called Xingyu in again and asked her to help wipe the wine again.

The room was full of the unpleasant smell of medicinal wine, and Linglong rolled up the curtains of Xiangfei bamboo, tied it with a pink ribbon, and a cool breeze immediately blew in.

"Miss, mosquitoes are going to fly in in a moment." Xingyu complained, and hurriedly used the fan in her hand to drive away the insects that wanted to fly in.
