"Qiu Tang doesn't dare." Qiu Tang just wanted to sit, and suddenly remembered what Lu Zhu had said to her on the first day she came to Linglong Pavilion, and couldn't help but hurriedly dispel her thoughts, and at the same time, she also saw Xu's mother's face turning from cloudy to sunny.

"Yes, I know the rules. I ask you, I heard you had a nightmare last night? Xu's mother looked concerned.

"I didn't ...... No. Qiu Tang flatly denied it.

"Qiu Tang, can you tell me about your home?" Mother Xu was holding the bowl and couldn't see clearly.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." Mu Jianyu knelt in front of the Queen Mother's bed.

"Holy Rise. The mourning family has an old bone, and it can't withstand the saint's kneeling. The Queen Mother said and coughed twice, "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Mu Jianyu sat down next to the couch, "The queen mother is in a hurry to send someone to summon her son, do you have any instructions?" ”

"The mourning family knows that Concubine Yun died two years ago, which hit you hard, and in the past few years, you have hardly stepped into the harem for half a step, and you are busy with government politics all day long, and the mourning family looks distressed." The Queen Mother took Mu Jianyu's hand and said, "Now that the saint is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, he is not in a hurry to establish a prince, but there are not many children in the harem, and the saint must think more about the future." Moreover, the harem is connected to the previous dynasty. ”

"The queen mother taught me a lesson. It was the son's negligence. ”

"Zhang Wan, the youngest daughter of Zhang Guoshi's family, who has just entered the palace, has arranged to stay in Yulan Palace, I look at it compared to her sister Concubine Rou Shui Ling, so Shengshang will take the time to take a look."

"Erchen knows."

"By the way, what's going on with Concubine Yun's mother's case?"

"There are some eyebrows, but the queen mother knows, some things are not as simple as they seem, and they are likely to affect the whole body. The queen mother should take care of her body and worry less. The sons will take care of it. ”

"That's it. The mourning family is tired, you go. The Queen Mother leaned back on the pillow and closed her eyes.

"The retainers retired."

"Okay, don't cry, go down and wash, and hang up the sign tonight." Mother Liu took the three girls back to Caifeng Tower.

"No......" Ruoyun cried, pushed Liu's mother away and turned her head and ran.

"Hey! You little hoof! Give me chase! Mother Liu gave an order, and the three big teapots of five big and three thick chased out.

The two girls, Ruyi and Linghua, had never seen this formation, their feet were weak, and they sat on the ground, at a loss.

"Hang it to the back firewood room!" Not long after, Ruoyun was tied back, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood.

"Little hooves. You run! Mother Liu took the whip and looked at the clouds hanging on the beams of the firewood room, and Mother Liu hated the root of her teeth.

"Phew!" Ruoyun spat at Liu's mother's door, "You shameless old woman! Don't be ashamed of yourself and let 10,000 people sleep! Now we're going to drag us down this filthy mire! ”

"Make your mouth hard!" Mother Liu wiped the spit off her face, and whipped Ruoyun desperately in anger, "You little hoof!" Have you learned all the rules you learned from Mother Xu?! Who allowed you to talk to me like that! The saltwater-soaked whip was densely pumped on Ruoyun's body with the scolding of Mother Liu.

"Mommy, rest your hands, that little hoof has passed out." The big teapot next to him stopped Mother Liu's hand.

"Put it down and wake up! Put up the signs for the three of them tonight. Thirty taels of silver. ”

"Luzhu, you and Lisha take Qiu Tang to the shopkeeper Shao in the south of the city to send these clothes. Go fast and go back quickly. After asking all morning, Xu's mother didn't ask anything. Qiu Tang turned over and over in two sentences, Linglong Pavilion is home, she is Qiu Tang.

"Mother Xu, don't come unharmed." As soon as Luzhu and Lisha left with Qiutang, Luan Pu An Luan in the yamen took people to Linglong Pavilion.

"Oh, who should I be, the magpie is calling in my yard early this morning, it turns out that Luan Ye is coming." Mother Xu clapped her hands and greeted the front yard, "Luan Ye, is this an errand?" Mother Xu glanced at the servants who followed behind Luan Pu'an, the yamen, and thought in her heart.

"Come, look at this portrait, has Mother Xu ever seen this girl?" Luan Pu unfolded a portrait of a girl about five or six years old with clear eyebrows. Mother Xu vaguely felt as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it.

"Yo, this girl is so handsome, what's wrong with this girl? Lost?" Mother Xu pressed the doubts in her heart and inquired sideways.

"Then I don't know, it only says that I want to see this girl and send it up. Who in Lingcheng doesn't know that your mother Xu has seen the most girls, so why don't I ask. Luan Pu'an saw that Xu's mother couldn't provide any useful information, so he ordered someone to roll up the portrait.

"Look at what you said, don't I also provide a place for those poor children to eat and live, this girl, I really haven't seen it, I'll pay attention to you, see it, I'll send it to you personally." Mother Xu covered her mouth and laughed wildly.

"Gotcha! Then I thank you in advance. Leave. Luan Pu'an led people out of Linglong Pavilion, "Let's go!" Go to the next one! ”

"Mom! Mom! Oh no, no, no! ”

"Poof!" Mother Liu didn't swallow a mouthful of water, and squirted it out, "Dead girl!" Your mother is dead! What a mourning! Mother Liu wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth and scolded.

"Mom, go and take a look, Ruoyun, Ruoyun she ......" The little girl's face turned pale with fright, and she couldn't say a complete sentence.

Seeing that something might have happened, and hearing Ruoyun's name, Mother Liu quickly glanced at the big teapot beside her, and the big teapot understood, quickly closed the door, and removed Ruoyun's sign.

Mother Liu took the group to the firewood room, the door of the firewood room was wide open, a pair of feet dangled in the air, and she looked up boldly, Ruoyun hung herself on the beam of the room with the rope that broke free, and the clothes stained red by blood were dazzling.

Ruoyun is dead.

Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.

"Mommy is awake!" After tossing a stick of incense, Mother Liu slowly woke up.

After taking a sip of the tea handed by the little girl, Mother Liu leaned against the head of the bed: "Okay, you all go down." Liujia, you stay for a while. ”

Mother Liu saw that everyone was out of the room, and said to Liu Jia, the chief housekeeper of Caifeng Building, in a low voice: "In the second half of the night, I stripped her clothes, ruined her face with hot oil, and quietly threw her into a mass grave." Don't let anyone find out. ”

"Don't worry." Liujia was ordered to go out.

"Sister Luzhu, what kind of place is Caifeng Tower?" Qiu Tang was still thinking about the morning.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?" Luzhu hesitated.

"It's a place where you can no longer see the sun." Risha's voice said coldly.

"Then why did Madame send them there?"

"Because there's a chance to touch the sky." Risha's voice was cold and desperate.

"Tian ......" Qiu Tang walked thoughtfully with his head down, completely unaware that the green bamboo was deliberately covered by the pear sand, and quickly handed a small burden to a man on the side of the road.

Perhaps, Caifeng Tower is not so terrible. Qiu Tang pondered secretly.

"Master, Grandpa You is here."

"Father-in-law You." The beautiful woman stood up.

Gonggong You saluted and said, "The miscellaneous family greets the Wancai people." The Holy One turned over your sign today. Please prepare, little master. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa You. You Gonggong walked slowly. ”

"Master, the saint has been flipping over your sign for several days in a row, and it seems that the saint still values you and the national teacher." The little maid Qingxing helped Zhang Wan sit back on the soft couch.

"Shh Zhang Wan glared at Qing Xing, "It's not as good as at home, how can you talk so casually." ”

"The slave knows it's wrong."

"Yikes! It's so beautiful. Lu Zhu held a handkerchief and leaned under the oil lamp, and praised it. The handkerchief is embroidered with a blooming lotus flower, the direction of the embroidery thread, and the matching of colors, making it difficult for the green bamboo to imagine that it comes from the hand of this seven or eight-year-old girl.

"My mother taught me since I was a child." Qiu Tang smiled reluctantly, thinking of his mother, Qiu Tang's eyes instantly lost their brilliance, "My mother said that this is a must." ”

"What does your mother do? Embroidery? ”

"No, it's not."

"What does that do?"

Qiu Tang watched the dancing flames of the oil lamp, just like the candle flame stained with blood that night.

"Come over to you." The red candles were swaying, the flowers were spreading, and the beaded flowers were pulled into his arms by a pair of greasy hands, "Come, drink the wine." The greasy big hand pinched a small wine cup, pressed it to Linghua's mouth, and poured it down.

"Ahem......" Linghua was choked and coughed constantly.

"Sing a song to your grandfather." The man with a fat brain pinched Linghua's chin.

"Dreams turn back, chaotic years are all over the ......" Linghua lightly opened her lips and sang slowly, letting tears overflow the corners of her eyes.

"It's so sweet to whisper." The fat man smiled lewdly and knealed Linghua's waist, "Little girl, let's sing in another place." Without waiting for Linghua to react, the fat man picked up Linghua and threw it on the bed.

"Be quiet! Idiot! Liu Jia scolded in a low voice, and quickly stripped Ruoyun's clothes in his hand.

"Brother A, let the brothers be happy." Ruoyun's skin glowed faintly white in the moonlight, which was mouth-watering.

"Phew! She is hated to death, if you are not afraid that she will find you in the future, you will carry it home, and no one will stop you. Liu Jia spat on the ground and said.

As they spoke, they only heard a trotting behind them, and a small guy ran towards them with a hot oil pot. "Whew!" The boiling hot oil was poured down, and Ruoyun's face instantly became inhuman.

"Alright, you two just take her to the mass grave and throw her away. Be vigilant, don't let the night watchmen catch you. Liu Jia commanded and opened the back door next to the firewood room. The two little guys carried Ruoyun and disappeared into the night.

"Master Luan, our mausoleum is a palm-sized place, and the brothers have been looking for portraits for a day, and they haven't even looked at a similar figure, will Ming'er continue?" Luan Pu'an took a few officials to play in a tavern on the side of the road that had not yet closed, and while waiting for the wine and food, one of the officials looked at the portrait in his hand and complained.

It is true that looking for someone based on a portrait from two or three years ago is really a needle in the bottom of the sea, and Luan Puan also knows that the hope of finding it is very slim, but this is a task sent by the above, and he has to do it. Luan Pu'an sighed, and poured wine with his brothers, starting from a small place to win people's hearts: "Come on, brothers, don't complain, I can't help it, can you not find the people you want?" No matter how hard the brothers work hard, if they really find it, maybe a few of our brothers can be added to the ranks, even if we can't find it, we will try our best, at least we won't be scolded by the above. While speaking, several snacks were served on the table one after another, and Luan Puan filled the wine glass in front of him, "Come on, come on, drink and eat food first to relieve fatigue." ”

"Get up! Get up and get to work! Before the fifth watch drum sounded, the voice of the right master woke up the girls.

In the cold winter, the clothes are becoming more and more difficult to wash, pour the water into the basin, and let it stand for a while, a thin layer of ice will form on the water surface, which is small and sharp. Qiu Tang endured the stinging pain in his hands and tried to rub his clothes. The pain of piercing the heart made tears roll in his eyes.

"Mother Zhou, please." Lu Zhu quickly stuffed a ball of cloth by the well to Zhou's mother, who was fetching water.

"Don't worry." Mother Zhou quietly put it away and walked towards the girls with the wooden barrel.

"What did you give her?" Seeing Luzhu come back, Qiu Tang asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." Green Bamboo quickly glanced around and whispered.

"Sister Luzhu, did you see the handkerchief I embroidered last night? It's the one embroidered with begonia flowers. After washing and hanging up the clothes, Qiu Tang went back to the house and wanted to send the handkerchief embroidered last night to Xu's mother, but she couldn't find it.
