When I woke up the next day, I saw Jiang Yan, Yue Qianlong and Su Jue drinking tea in the hall, and as for Meng Qingque, I didn't know where Ye went.

"Yan Niang, I have something to tell you. ”

Jiang Yan neither got angry nor scolded him for not returning overnight, but pulled Lu Li's face full of love and pity, and said, "The sun is so big, why don't you buy buns?"

"The bun matter is small, but Pei Gongzi's matter is important!"

"What kind of loser?"

"It's the eldest son of the Pei family in the west of the city, Pei Yanxiu. ”

Jiang Yan thought about it for a while, she had some impressions of this person, Pei Yanxiu was dressed and talked about Si Wenwen, although most people in the west of the city praised him for his kindness and high morality, but he just didn't have a good impression of this person.

So, Jiang Yan took a sip of tea with a lack of interest, and said perfunctorily: "If you die, you will die, anyway, people are going to die when they live, what's so sad?"

"I ...... Of course I'm sad, I'm sad that when he's dead I'll never see him again, I'll never hear him again, what's wrong with me being sad?"

"What do you have to be sad about, doesn't that Pei Yanxiu like to pretend to be a Bodhisattva, and like others to praise him for holding him, he can be offered up every day when he dies, maybe he still follows his heart, you should be happy for him." ”

"Pei Gongzi, he's not this kind of person!"

"Okay, no, no, he's a living bodhisattva and a living immortal. ”

"It is said that Pei Gongzi is suffering from an epidemic and his death is extremely terrifying, but when I went to Pei's Mansion yesterday, I saw that his body was no different from when he was alive, which is very strange. ”

It turns out that this person went to Pei's house yesterday? What an elm head, and he won't come back first to report the news.

Jiang Yan replied a little angrily: "The rumors in the market can't be trusted, what's so strange?"

"However, that Pei Yuewan didn't let people go in to mourn and let people block me out of the door, she said a lot of strange things to that maid, I think Pei Gongzi's death must have nothing to do with her!"

"Can't get out of the relationship with her? They have always been harmonious, the two have relied on each other for more than ten years, and the relationship is very ordinary brother and sister, is it possible that she can still kill Pei Yanxiu and fight for the family property? I don't think you should think too much. ”

Seeing that she was still unmoved, Lu Li remembered the symbols on the spirit flag, and immediately dipped his finger in the wine on the table and said while drawing: "Look at this, these things are written in cinnabar on the Pei family's spirit flags, some cow and sheep bones are burned in the brazier, and even the candles are bright red, and there are seven rows around the coffin, isn't it strange?"

"Jianghu warlocks often draw these things to ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts, and it's not that they haven't seen them. ”

"I!" Lu Li reluctantly wrote a few more, "I can't remember the rest, but this thing is really strange! I heard Pei Yuewan say, what else do you need, and what do you need for a funeral?"

"I said, you kid, you don't do anything serious on weekdays, why are you so concerned about other people's affairs? People just helped you for a while, not a mountain of gold and silver. ”

Lu Li slapped the table and shouted: "Money, money, money, you only know money! I'm not a snob like you!"

"Yo, are you really angry?"

"If you don't go, I'll go by myself!"

"I'll go with you. ”

"Brother Su, why are you interested?"

Su Jue pointed to the words on the table and said to Jiang Yan: "These words are from Southern Xinjiang, but Southern Xinjiang rarely has contact with the Northern Regions, I want to know what's going on." ”

"Since Xiao Jue is going, then I will go too. ”

The three of them went out the door together.

It was already dusk at Pei's house, Su Jue knocked on the door, and it was the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who came.

She glanced at Lu Li, and said very unhappily, "Why are you again?"

"I said, I want to go in and worship Pei Gongzi. ”

"Okay, okay, for your sake, come in with me. ”

Taking advantage of the little girl's turn, Yue Qianlong asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't let you in?"

Lu Li pushed her back with a glare, but the location of the mourning hall last night was already empty, the two gates were closed tightly, and there was not a single servant nearby.

"It's gone, it was full yesterday. ”

Chaoyun turned back curiously: "Yesterday, you came in yesterday, how do you know that this place is full?"

"I ......" suddenly revealed the stuffing, and Lu Licai covered it up and said: "I guessed when I saw the big white lantern at the gate of the mansion, your funeral is arranged in the mansion, shouldn't you arrange paper ties and spirit flags in the courtyard like other people's houses?

"Our master has just been buried this morning, and the things in the house have just been collected, and of course there is nothing left. ”

"Buried, why did you bury so quickly!"

Chaoyun pouted dissatisfiedly: "It's been placed at home for six days and buried in the ground, don't you think it's long enough? Do you want to put it for three or five years and wait for that corpse to turn into white bones?"

Hearing the little girl's anger, Yue Qianlong hurriedly said: "Girl, don't blame, my little brother has been a little stupid since he was a child, and he can't distinguish so many worldly etiquette, so don't take what he says to the girl." I know that Pei Gongzi died of an epidemic, and since there are rules in the girl's house, we shouldn't bother, but my younger brother has been arguing all night since he went back yesterday, saying that he would come to worship everything, and the girl only needs to take us to the pillar incense and kowtow, and we will leave immediately after the end, and there is no other thought. ”

Chaoyun's little face pouted, and whispered silently: "I still think I am a close friend of Gongzi, it turns out that he is a nerd who is not very bright, so it's no wonder that he wants to break here." ”

In the center of the back hall is a newly painted tablet, on which the words 'Pei Yanxiu' are written. Su Jue swept around several times, it was just an ordinary room, nothing special.

"Aren't you going to put on the incense, what are you still looking around for?" Chaoyun twisted the incense and handed it to Lu Li, and asked, "Are you a friend of the eldest prince, why have I never seen you?"

"Pei Gongzi has so many friends, is it possible that you want to see each of them?"

"What did you say?"

"I said you just shouldn't care so much. ”

Chaoyun was angry, pointed at Lu Li and shouted: "I don't think you are a good thing, you must be coveting our young lady's beauty and the Pei family's property to bargain! ”

"Me!"

"Okay, okay, okay," Yue Qianlong pulled the two apart, "Girl, don't be like him, Xiaoli, what are you doing there?

Lu Li glanced at Chaoyun angrily before kneeling down in front of the spirit, he was still puzzled in his heart, could it really be that he was too careful? That Pei Yuewan is a weak and slender little woman, no matter how you say it, she will not kill her brother and kill her.

"The incense is also on the head and kowtowed, you still don't leave. ”

"I want to see you young lady. ”

"You still want to see our young lady?"

I said a few words to her and left. ”

"If you don't leave, I'm going to drive people out!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to get on the bar again, Su Jue grabbed Lu Li and said, "Excuse me, let's leave first." ”

"Hey, hey, Su Jue......"

"Shut up. ”

When he went out and walked away, Su Jue let go of the strength in his hand, Lu Li was very unconvinced, and his face was lengthened, and the whole person was clubbed in place like a pillar, but he didn't move forward.

"Who do you think you are? Are you Yan Niang? You are qualified to do something to me?"

"Lu Li, who made you speak disrespectfully to others? and have the face to say that we are Xiao Jue, if I change it, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"But there doesn't seem to be anything strange about this. Chitaki, what do you see?"

"I see what? I can see that Lu Li ran to someone's house in broad daylight to make a fuss, go, let's go back, and we won't mess with this person anymore. ”

"But I ......"

"Shut up! What do you have to say to your family. ”

Seeing that the three of them were far away, Chaoyun closed the door with confidence and walked into the back garden.

Today's sunset, and coincide with this beautiful scenery by the mountains and rivers, as soon as the evening breeze blows, the dead leaves in the yard will fall to the ground, Pei Yuewan, who is sitting on the swing, is wearing a light yellow dress, Xiaoxiao The leaves are scattered on her clothes, and the neck is ......

This girl is at a young age, and she doesn't wear any pearls on her head, but the sudden yellow leaves set off her plain makeup more elegantly.

"Miss, they're all gone. ”

"I see. The woman's toes were tapped, and the pink and purple shawl on her body was brought up in the swing swaying, this scene can really make people confused, "Count the days, Xie Zhi should also go to Chang'an." ”

"Gongzi Xie will arrive tomorrow at the latest. ”

"Okay, just in time. You go and decorate the mansion well, and if Xie Shu doesn't come back, don't come to the backyard to disturb me. ”

"Miss, do you really want to do this?"

The woman pulled the swing and asked, "Don't you think it should be? ”

"But it's only been a few days, miss, don't you see ...... Take it a slow. ”

"Chaoyun, you still don't understand?" Pei Yuewan strained his hands, and the swing swayed higher and higher, "At this time, I can't stop anymore." ”

Chaoyun listened to a burst of loss, she has been serving Pei Yuejuan since she was a child, and she knows this person's temperament, once she decides, no matter who persuades her, she can't say it. Now that Pei Yanxiu is gone, there must be unspeakable grief in this person's heart, although she doesn't know what Pei Yuewan is planning, but Chaoyun thinks that as long as these can make her happy, it will be good.

Now that it is night, Pei Yuewan is an unmarried girl in the end, and the boudoir is full of young girlishness, and the furnishings and furniture that catch the eye are very exquisite. On the dressing table are the finest beads of Ningxiu Pavilion, the most colorful rouge of Luoyi Xuan, and the wooden box is full of mules from the western frontier.

The woman sat down in front of the mirror, reached out and stroked the rows of delicate pearl hairpins in front of her, and picked up a silver comb to straighten her long hair as in the past. From this point of view, Pei Yuewan can indeed be called a beautiful woman, not only beautiful but also extremely beautiful, although she is not a captivating city, but at least she is a lovely person who makes people fall in love at first sight.
