Qing Shu was startled, Huo Di got up, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Yu said, "Cai Tieniu said that someone just came to knock open the door of the house, saying that there was a death in our shop." Cai Tieniu asked a few questions, but the man couldn't say clearly, only that the guy in the shop asked him to help pass the word, and the specific person couldn't say clearly. ”

Qing Shu sank his face and walked out, "Let's go, go and see." Hurriedly walked to the front of the mansion, but saw that Gu Qiang was reprimanding Cai Tieniu, and she didn't bother to ask, "Housekeeper, you take someone to guard the door, and I'll go to the shop to see the situation." ”

Gu Qiang stopped her, "Miss, you don't have to do everything yourself. The old slave has already sent someone out to inquire about the news, the person who came is not his own person, and he doesn't know whether the words are true or false, please relax and wait for the news. ”

If someone else says this, Qingshu may not listen. But the words were said by Gu Qiang, so Qing Shu went to the front hall to sit and wait for the news, and did not insist on going out of the house.

Not long after, the three people sent out by Gu Qiang came back one after another. The three of them didn't come back together because Gu Qiang specially told them to go separately to find out the news. This is Gu Qiang's cautious expression. The three people who came back all said that there was nothing in the shop, and one qiē was normal. Moreover, they also inquired, and there was no news of any fatalities in the town today, and one of them even went to the yamen to inquire, and there was no news about this on the yamen.

Gu Qiang summoned Cai Tieniu to the front, asked about the situation again in front of Qing Shu, and reprimanded Cai Tieniu for not keeping the messenger, and for not finding out who the messenger's name was and where his home was.

Qing Shu couldn't raise his head when he saw that Cai Tieniu was being trained, and said, "Butler, okay, there was such a news suddenly at that time, and there was nothing to be done about it." Besides, who would have thought that this was someone who made something out of nothing. ”

Gu Qiang stopped reprimanding at this time, "Thank you Miss!" ”

Cai Tieniu hurriedly thanked Qingshu, "Miss Xie is not punished." The villain remembered the steward's teachings and did not dare to make the same mistake again. ”

Qing Shu said, "Go ahead, grow a few more eyes in the future." ”

After Cai Tieniu stepped back, Gu Qiang said, "Miss, this matter is strange, the old slave is very uneasy, please Miss and the young master try not to go out recently." In the Zhuangzi and in the shop, the old slave will tell them to be extra careful. ”

Qing Shu felt that what the housekeeper said made sense, so he said that he would listen to the housekeeper and go back. She hadn't gone out for nearly ten days, and if it hadn't been for the housekeeper to stop her, she would have gone out. Is this someone deliberately trying to lure her out of the house?

After a few more days of calm and calm, when Cai Tieniu got up early this morning and cleaned the front yard with another family, he found something stuffed under the door of the house, he bent down to pick it up, and found that it was a letter. Confused, he hurried to find the butler.

The housekeeper looked at the words "Miss Gu personally opened" on the letter cover, and hurriedly asked Su's mother to go into the inner courtyard to see if Miss got up. Su's mother came back soon, and told Miss Gu Qiang that she was about to get up, and after washing up, she would go directly to practice.

Gu Qiang took the letter and went to the practice place first. After a while, I saw Qingyang and Qingshu coming over one after another.

After teaching Qingshu and Qingyang the basic marksmanship, Gu Qiang basically didn't come here. When Qing Shu saw him here, he knew something was wrong, and asked Qing Yang to practice by himself first, and motioned for him to come to the side to talk.

Walking to the side, Gu Qiang explained the situation, and did not hand the letter directly to Qing Shu, but asked Qing Shu if he could read it first. This letter is strange, Qingshu naturally has no opinion. Gu Qiang took out the letter from the letter cover and unfolded it, but his hand shook, but it was not obvious, and his face was the same. He quickly folded the letter back and asked Qingshu for his guilt, "Please forgive Miss, this is not a letter to Miss, it was the old slave's old friend who passed through here and left in a hurry to leave, so he left such a letter to the old slave." I was worried that the letter would be thrown away, so I left the words 'Miss Gu personally opened'. It was the old slave who didn't know why he disturbed the young lady, and asked the young lady to punish him. ”

"What a big thing, what kind of punishment, since it is a letter to you, you can keep it yourself, I will go to practice." Qing Shu said, smiling and going in the direction of Qingyang. However, after walking a few steps and turning around, he saw Gu Qiang walking away in a hurry, so he greeted Xiao Juan and asked Xiao Juan to quietly follow to see where Gu Qiang was going in such a hurry.

Turning a corner, making sure that he was no longer in the sight of the young lady, Gu Qiang trotted up and went directly to Zhou Boyan. Zhou Boyan is also used to getting up early, and he was walking in the courtyard, when he saw that Gu Qiang's face was different and eager, he went to the house. The two of them entered the house one by one, and Gu Shishi saw that they seemed to have something to say, so he closed the door and went out.

Gu Qiang handed the letter to Zhou Boyan and whispered that he had found it stuffed under the door of the mansion in the morning. Zhou Boyan opened it and saw the three words "Gu Qingshu" written in blood, and also crossed the name with blood.

Zhou Boyan's face sank, "She saw it?" ”

Gu Qiang hurriedly replied, "I didn't show it to Miss, the little one felt that it was inappropriate, so he opened it in front of the young lady and lied that it was written to the little one by an old friend." The young lady was not suspicious and was practicing. ”

Zhou Boyan's face was a little better, "You don't have to let her know, I will handle this matter." In the past few days, don't let her go out, and if there is anything unusual, report it to me directly. ”

"Thank you, Boy." Gu Qiang thanked him solemnly and took a deep look.

Zhou Boyan stepped forward to stop him, "Not to mention that she is my person sooner or later, it is the general's affection for my father and me, Uncle Gu is so too foreign." Uncle Gu called himself a little in front of me, and I didn't say anything, but if Uncle Gu was polite to me, when I was an outsider, I wouldn't agree. ”

"Since that's the case, even if it's not appropriate, the little one has to ask the young man, do you really want to marry the young lady?" Gu Qiang raised his head and looked directly into Zhou Boyan's eyes when he asked a question.

"Yes." Zhou Boyan answered without hesitation.

"Is it to repay the general's kindness?" Gu Qiang asked again.

"Uncle Gu, is Uncle Yan the kind of person who marries a wife to repay his kindness?" If it were someone else, he would not pay attention to it, let alone answer. The other party is Gu Qiang, and he is willing to do this.

"The little ones should listen to the answers they have, not the self-righteous judgment of others."

Zhou Boyan didn't speak, but just rolled up his sleeves, revealing the goose-yellow hairband wrapped around his left wrist, "This is something that Boyan cherishes, and I won't give it to you." "Put your sleeves down," she said, saying that she didn't get married until she was twenty, and asked me if I could afford to wait, and I could afford to wait. ”

Gu Qiang didn't say anything, but left the house with a respectful face.

On the other side, Xiao Juan went back to her life and whispered to Qingshu, "Miss, the housekeeper went to Yan Gongzi's residence, and when he came out, he was actually laughing." The slave maid was stunned when she saw the housekeeper smiling for the first time, and almost let the housekeeper find out. ”

Qing Shu nodded, indicating that he understood. But she wondered in her heart, could it be that she guessed wrong? Is that really weird? She pondered for a while, thinking that the housekeeper could laugh, probably because something good or happy had happened, so she left the letter behind her and stopped thinking about it.

On the second day, when the sky was bright, the family members began to clean, and Gu Qiang, Cai Tieniu, Ding Jiabao, Gu Yuanhe and other old departments of the ancient mansion quietly inspected the inside and outside of the mansion, and then Cai Tieniu and Ding Jiabao shook their heads at Gu Qiang and walked away, but Gu Yuanhe nodded to Gu Qiang, took a broom and went back to the residence, and entered the house.

Not long after, Gu Qiang went to Gu Yuanhe's house, "What did you find?" ”

Gu Yuanhe's face was not very good, and he put something into Gu Qiang's hand. Gu Qiang's face turned pale, but he didn't say anything, hid it in his sleeve, and went to Zhou Boyan's courtyard.

In Zhou Boyan's room, there was a palm-sized wooden figure on the table, with Qing Shu's name engraved on the back of the small wooden figure, and three needles inserted in the chest on the front.

Zhou Boyan frowned and called the chief of the guard in, "This is what you said that there is nothing unusual?" ”

Not long after, the chief of the guard personally went to see the red fruit and vegetable furrow under the root of the courtyard wall where the little wooden man was found, sighed, carefully checked it again, and then went back, and let Gu Qiang call Gu Yuanhe, who found the little wooden man, and the three of them stood in one place and muttered.

After breakfast, Ding Jiamei, who was picking red fruits in the vegetable furrow under the root of the wall, suddenly stood up, took something in her hand, threw the basket with a frightened face, and ran in the direction of the inner courtyard. She hurriedly crouched down to pick it up, and then hid behind her. However, everyone present could see clearly that it was a small wooden man with a needle that fell to the ground.

Ding Jiamei immediately ran away, and the direction was the inner courtyard. After a while, many people saw Ding Jiamei coming from the direction of the inner courtyard, with slap marks on her face, tears on her face, and muttering in her mouth as if she was enchanted, "It wasn't the slave who did it, Miss don't send the slave to the official."

But in the second quarter of an hour, Su's mother called Ding Jiamei away, and Ding Jiamei did not go back to the front yard to do things. Ding Jiabao ran to find the housekeeper, and the housekeeper lost his temper and locked Ding Jiabao in the firewood room.

The atmosphere in the house suddenly became solemn, thinking of the little wooden figure with needles in Ding Jiamei's hand and the words muttering in her mouth, some people did their own thing silently, and some began to whisper.

It was dark, and there were many shadows, and the chief of the guard had already led someone to inspect the inside and outside of the house, and then closed the team. In the middle of the night, just after midnight, a dark shadow crept out of the lower room, first stopped at the base of the wall in the northwest corner, learned a cat meow, and something was thrown in from the wall. The dark shadow picked up something, turned around, and finally reached the locked door of the inner courtyard, and shoved something under the door.

Suddenly, several figures sprang out from behind, and before the shadow could make a sound, he covered the black shadow's mouth tightly, twisted his arm behind him, and pressed it to the ground. Someone reached out and snatched something from under the door.

When it dawned, people were supposed to do whatever they wanted, as if nothing had happened last night. By noon, there were rumors in the town that Miss Gufu was sick.
