Chapter 66: Interrogation

After Rong Xiao arrived at noon the next day, his body suddenly became uncomfortable and his whole body was hot. This is very bad for the people around you.

Seeing this, Rong Zheng hurriedly asked Guo'er to inform Du Shi. After a while, Du Shi hurried over.

She saw her daughter lying on the kang with a flushed face, her nose was sore, her eyes were filled with tears, she touched Rong Xiao's forehead, and said anxiously: "My son, why is it so hot?" ”

Rong Xiao didn't have any strength in his body, and whispered a few words, but Du Shi didn't understand.

Rong Zheng, who lives in the same place, said: "The fourth sister said that she was not very comfortable when she got up in the morning, and I also advised her to rest, and there was no need to kneel." But the fourth sister still insisted on going, and it didn't take long to come back. ”

Du Shi was anxious, but now in the temple, if he wants to ask for a doctor, he is afraid that it will take a lot of effort, and his daughter's illness will not be delayed.

There was a companion in front of him: "Madam, the old slave heard that Master Yuankong knows how to heal, so it is better to invite him to help Miss take a look." ”

Du Shi pondered for a moment, and his heart had no choice but to do so at present. It's just that I heard that the master of Yuankong has a strange temperament and is afraid that he will not be moved, so he glanced at Rong Zheng and said, "I heard that the second uncle has some friendship with this master, why don't you ask the second uncle to talk to him?" ”

Rong Zheng understood his aunt's intentions, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go and talk to my father." ”

Du Shi smiled gratefully.

Without further ado, Rong Zheng hurried to his father.

At that time, Rong Jiang was playing chess with Master Yuanyi in the meditation room here.

Rong Zheng came in a hurry, and he couldn't take care of it, so he opened his mouth and said, "Daddy, the fourth sister is suddenly sick." The aunt was in a hurry, so she asked her daughter to come and tell her father, and ask Master Yuankong to help the fourth sister take a look. ”

Hearing this, Rong Jiang hurriedly got up and said, "Let's go, let's go find Master Yuankong." ”

On the way, Rong Jiang asked his daughter about Rong Xiao's situation. Before they knew it, the father and daughter had come to the courtyard where Master Yuankong lived. Rong Jiang glanced at his daughter and said to her, "You wait here, I'll go and ask the master." ”

Rong Zheng nodded, and watched his father go to the eaves over there. After a while, a little novice came out. Rong Zheng stood under a paulownia tree, waiting for his father to come out.

"What are you doing here?"

After a while, Rong Zheng heard someone behind her ask her.

Rong Zheng faintly felt that this voice was a little familiar, and hurriedly looked back. Seeing that she was only a few steps away, there was a man wearing a dark green fine kudzu robe, with a handsome face and a tall posture.

Rong Zheng lowered his eyes, blessed his body and said, "I'll wait for my father." ”

Mu Xuan looked at Rong Zheng twice. I looked at the house above, and there was a sound of conversation from time to time.

Rong Zheng felt like a man's back at the moment, remembering what happened last time, he couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and took two steps back defensively. Mu Xuan sensed her vigilance, pursed her lips slightly, and said nothing.

The two were silent, each with their own thoughts. Rong Zheng lowered his head slightly, but he was a little anxious in his heart, why didn't his father come out yet. I don't know how sick the fourth sister is.

Mu Xuan swept towards Rong Zheng and saw her combing a hanging bun, wearing a beaded flower, wearing a light willow-colored gown, and a tooth-white pleated silk skirt. suddenly remembered that she and her third brother seemed to have come to the temple to shelter from the rain a few months ago, and he seemed to have seen her at that time......

Mu Xuan remembered the last time he was in Qiluoxuan, and he was a little out of control at that time. Now that I think about it, I regret that his rough behavior towards a delicate girl is a little inappropriate.

It's just that she eavesdropped on the conversation between him and Shangzhou, these secrets in the palace. She shouldn't have been let know to an irrelevant person. Fortunately, he asked Sangju to keep an eye on this girl these days, but fortunately she didn't make any trouble. But in the end, Mu Xuan was not very relieved.

There was a wind blowing, blowing the broken hair on Rong Zheng's sideburns, and she looked up and hurriedly clamped the broken hair behind her ears. Now. The door above had opened, and Master Yuankong walked out, followed by Rong Jiang. Rong Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuankong glanced at Mu Xuan, and said, "Luo Jia, you come back in the afternoon." ”

Mu Xuan respectfully responded yes. Rong Zheng quickly followed his father's steps, bowed his head and followed out of the courtyard gate here.

Mu Xuan watched them leave. His gaze lingered on Rong Zheng's figure for a while.

Mu Xuan walked back to the small courtyard where he lived, never thinking that Cui Shangzhou was coming.

Seeing Cui Shangzhou, Mu Xuan was a little surprised, and he invited Cui Shangzhou to talk to the next room. Pingkang brought the tea in time.

Cui Shangzhou asked: "The temple looks a little lively, and it's not the birthday of a Bodhisattva?" ”

"The Rong family is doing a water and land dojo here."

"No wonder!" Cui Shangzhou smiled slightly. He took a sip of tea,

"You came to me for something? Did I ask you to find someone to have news? ”

Cui Shangzhou said: "It's also a coincidence, last time you asked me to find out the bottom of the third lady of the Rong family, but there was an unexpected gain." ”

"How?"

Cui Shangzhou said with a smile: "I have to start with the Zhuangzi in Lutang, I heard that there was a kid surnamed Lei at the beginning of this year. Help Miss Rongsan take care of some things in the Zhuangzi. ”

"Surname Lei?!" Although there are many people surnamed Lei in the world, it still makes Mu Xuan see a glimmer of hope.

Cui Shangzhou saw Mu Xuan's shining eyes, and said: "After all, it is the territory of the Rong family, and we don't know if it's appropriate for us to go to their people so boldly to ask questions?" ”

Mu Xuan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and she thought for a while before saying, "It just so happens that Miss Rongsan is in this temple, and I asked her to ask questions." Anyway, she had to nod yes before we could take the next step. "The recklessness of the last time made him feel a little sorry for others, so he wanted to respect Rong Zheng once.

Cui Shangzhou immediately said: "Okay, there is such an opportunity right now." There is no need to alarm the rest of the Rong family. After all, you can't even hide it from the county lord, so you can't let more people know. ”

"That's exactly what it means!" Mu Xuan's worries are exactly what Cui Shangzhou thinks.

It's just that if he wants to find Rong Zheng to interrogate, he has to wait until today's Dharma is over, and his master is over there at this time, so he is afraid of attracting the attention of his old man, and he is afraid of attracting the attention of other people, so he has to find other leisure.

Anyway, Cui Shangzhou's words brought hope to Mu Xuan. He vaguely felt that he might be able to find a breakthrough in everything from this surnamed Lei.

Master Yuankong treated Rong Xiao, but he was infected with the summer heat and was a little unwell, not a very strict disease, so he drank it with mulberry chrysanthemum. Du Shi couldn't rest assured, so he asked Rong Xiao to go home to recuperate, and if he still didn't get better, he asked people to pass on the doctor who walked around normally.

After Rong Xiao left. Rong Zheng lived here alone. In the afternoon, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so the place to kneel is in the Guanyin Temple, without the scorching sun on your head.

After staying up like this for nearly two hours, when Rong Zheng got up. My legs and feet are so sore that I can't stand steadily. She was prepared, and let Shiso sit on a chair with her for a long time before she got better.

"I can go back tomorrow afternoon, and Miss won't have to suffer such a crime again." Shiso is uncomfortable for Rong Zheng.

"yes, one more day."

She went to Ma and Du's for dinner before returning to the West Chamber to rest.

It was getting dark. Although the heat hasn't completely subsided, it's already cooler.

Mei Fen lit the lamp, Rong Zheng didn't want to go to bed so early, Rong Xiao was not in front of him, and no one spoke to pass the time. So he picked up the scripture on his desk and flipped through a few pages.

After a while, Zisu came over, and Rong Zheng saw that she was a little speechless and stopped, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Zi Su hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss, there's a little guy outside." The person who claimed to be from the Mu family said that he wanted to ask the young lady to come over and say a few words. ”

Rong Zheng was a little surprised, and then he remembered that he had seen Mu Xuan at Master Yuankong in the morning. It was getting dark, what could he ask?

Rong Zheng naturally remembered the words she overheard that time, could it be that he still didn't believe in himself and wanted to ask for clarification? Then he said to Zisu: "I will come when I go, and you stay here." If my wife or someone else comes to me, you can help me find a reason to deal with it. Don't say I'm going to see the Mu family. ”

"Is that good?" Shiso was still a little hesitant.

"If I don't go, I don't know what kind of trouble I'll incur, and it's better to make some things clear to my face." Rong Zheng glanced at Mei Fen. He said to her, "Come with me." ”

Mei Fen followed Rong Zheng out of the room nervously.

The lights on Ma's side were bright, and people came and went, and no one noticed the situation here.

Bao Kang waited at the side door for a while, and finally saw Rong Zheng come out with a little maid. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said humbly: "Miss Rong, please come here with the little one." ”

Bao Kang carried a lantern and led the way. Mei Fen carried Rong Zheng and followed behind Bao Kang and slowly walked towards the courtyard behind the vegetable garden.

Baokang deliberately chose a path with few people, so that he didn't meet anyone on the way.

This Mu Xuan has been waiting for a long time.

Rong Zheng stepped into this courtyard for the second time, but he didn't expect it to be in such a situation.

Under the dim candlelight, Mu Xuan wore a dark soft robe. Stand at a table. Hands behind the back. The room was filled with a strong scent of fine sandalwood.

Finally seeing Rong Zheng coming, Mu Xuan got up and said, "It's a bit offensive to suddenly invite Miss Rong San, and I want to ask Miss Rong for advice on something." ”

Rong Zheng lowered his head slightly, blessed his body and said, "What does Uncle Mu have to command?" ”

Mu Xuan wanted to fix the rudeness of the last time, and said with a pleasant face: "Miss Rongsan, please don't be polite, please take a seat." ”

Rong Zheng sat down on a bamboo chair, and the chair made a creaking sound.

Pingkang brought tea, Rong Zheng looked down, but did not serve the teacup.

The servants waited under the eaves. Suddenly, only Mu Xuan and Rong Zheng were left in the house. This is the second time since Rong Zheng was reborn that he has been alone with a man of the opposite sex other than his father. It made her a little uncomfortable.

Mu Xuan's voice was clear, a little quiet, and a little humble in his tone, and said to Rong Zheng: "I was looking for Miss Rong San to ask Miss Three about someone. ”

"Who?"

"I heard that the third lady's Zhuangzi took in a kid surnamed Lei at the beginning of last year, I don't know what the origin of this person is? Can Miss Three let me know if it's convenient? ”

Rong Zheng was slightly shocked, she thought that Mu Xuan came to her to say the following words she overheard last time, and she was ready to listen to Mu Xuan's stern threats, but she didn't expect that she was going to Lei Bo. It is indeed a bit strange for Lei Bo to appear, and then he wants to show it so much. Rong Zheng faintly sensed that this person must have some secrets that she hadn't discovered yet.

Rong Zheng pondered for a moment, and she said with a smile: "It seems that Uncle Mu is already very familiar with my situation, didn't he investigate the matter of this surnamed Lei?" Or did he offend Uncle Mu in something? ”

"No, no, the third lady misunderstood. I'm also looking for someone, and the person I'm looking for is also surnamed Lei, but I don't know if the person surnamed Lei next to Miss San has anything to do with the person I'm looking for. ”

Rong Zheng was slightly puzzled, she looked up at Mu Xuan, but his eyes met, Rong Zheng hurriedly avoided it, her eyes fell on the tea cup not far from her, and said crisply: "He fell into the water on the day of the Lantern Festival, and he happened to be rescued by my family's little girl." Later, he said that he owed gambling debts and could not repay them, and he originally asked for a death, but he did not die. After selling myself, I paid off my gambling debts and arranged for him to work on the farm. ”

"Then where is he from, does the third lady know?"

Rong Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying: "He just said that he was from Xu Lizhuang, but then I found someone to investigate, only to find out that he lied to me, and I knew that he was originally from Xingyang." According to his own account, his mother worked as a nurse in some wealthy family in her early years. That's all I know. ”

Mu Xuan became more and more excited when she heard this, it was true, it was true! The person he was looking for was not far away, and what he and Cui Shangzhou were busy with these days finally had an eyebrow. He couldn't help but get up, made a big gesture towards Rong Zheng, and said gratefully: "Third Miss has helped me a lot, thank you Third Miss!" ”

Rong Zheng didn't figure out what the situation was, so he accepted Mu Xuan's gift for no reason, and hurriedly got up and returned the salute and said, "What else does Uncle Mu want to ask, and I don't know much about the next." If you want to ask, you ask him to go. ”

"Okay, good, thank you Miss Three for making it complete!"

This situation is linked to the last time the two met, she almost died at his hands, and it was really different.

Mu Xuan didn't want to stay much in Rongzheng, asked about the matter, and hurriedly asked Baokang to send her back.

Rong Zheng was a little puzzled, it was dark, did he come to her just to ask Lei Bo? She should be something. However, with Mu Xuan taking this matter so seriously, Rong Zheng had another thought in his heart, Lei Bo has a great background. She'll have to find out.

Shisu was anxiously waiting, and was relieved to see her come back safely.

"Mademoiselle, you're finally back. Not long after, Mrs. sent someone to look for you, and the slave said that you were asleep, and I don't know if Mrs. was suspicious. ”

What kind of attitude Ma has is that it doesn't matter to Rong Zheng at all. At the end of the day, when she was a little tired, she asked the maids to fetch hot water, and she should go to bed after she had freshened up. (To be continued.) )
