The summer of the state is late, like a shy girl, and when the peach blossoms are gone, she lifts the light ground veil and comes with a smile.

Su Dongpo once said: "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo." "In many places, it is believed that embroidery will bring good feng shui, so whether it is in the courtyard of a large family or in the front and back of the house in the countryside, planting some bamboo is the most common thing.

Deep in a bamboo forest outside the city of Hangzhou, there is a small tomb, lonely in such a verdant bamboo.

In front of the grave, a gorgeously dressed woman was carefully removing the weeds in front of the grave, taking out some fruits and food from the basket beside her and placing them in front of the grave. Then, kneeling down, began to throw the paper money in his hand into a brazier little by little, suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest rustled, the woman quickly looked around, found that there was no second person, so she put her mind at ease, while burning the paper money, her mouth muttered: "Miss, I should have come back to see you, but I dare not come back, I am afraid that you will scold me, will not forgive me, Miss, you can go with peace of mind, before your death, you have been depressed, always think that life is a burden, Now that I have really gone, I will rest in peace, reincarnate into a good family earlier, and don't suffer like this in my previous life..."

was praying in a low voice, and suddenly found that the figure of the grave was shaking, and the kneeling woman was so frightened that she sat on the ground with a colorless face: "Little... Miss, don't look for me, it's not me who hurt you, although I shouldn't have beaten the master's idea. But, but Jean really didn't kill you..."

A sigh sounded over the bamboo forest, and the little woman was so frightened that she wanted to stand up, but her feet were not strong at all, and she only got up halfway, and fell to the ground again.

At this time, a person slowly walked from the depths of the bamboo forest. Dressed in white. It's like swaying in the wind. Lightly from far to near. The woman didn't dare to look closely, closed her eyes in horror, and fell to the ground.

The white shadow stopped beside her and called softly, "Girl..."

The woman listened to the voice so gentle and kind, she seemed to have heard it there, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face. Almost in front of himself, looking at himself. She sat up in surprise and found that she was still in front of the grave, but there was an extra man in front of the grave that made her think about it: "Childe, why are you, why are you here?" ”

That white shadow was Meng Tianchu. And this woman, of course, is the pretty girl Qin'er.

That day, Meng Tianchu went crazy and was about to go to the back garden to commit domestic violence against Wen Rou, but he was pulled by Xia Fengyi and the three women to prevent him from going. and even kept watch over him all night until dawn. also took turns to persuade him to calm his anger with a handful of snot and tears. All this, of course, is because Dongchang Factory Supervisor Hot Spring asked Meng Tianchu to bring Wen Rou into the capital to see him a month later, and Wen Rou Ruo was injured at that time. I'm afraid that no matter how big the reason is, it will become unreasonable, and once the hot spring turns around, it is not a joke.

Meng Tianchu calmed down, and also felt that what they said made sense, the so-called small unbearable will make a big plan, even if he cut off the heroin in the hot spring and let him die of drug addiction, his family will not be able to escape the dead end, and even die even worse.

Therefore, after Meng Tianchu discussed with the third daughter, he decided to ban Wen Rou, and when he arrived in the capital, he told the hot springs the cause and effect and let him decide. It's best to quit this family. If you can't push it off, you can also let the hot spring point the way, at least with the authorization of the hot spring in person, you can use domestic violence to deal with gentleness, so as not to get into trouble.

After deciding on the decision, Meng Tianchu ordered Li Linjing to take people to strictly guard the gentleness who was under house arrest in the back garden. Taking advantage of this period, he began to continue the investigation of the case.

The current work, of course, is to continue to follow Qin'er's Teng to see what kind of melon it is. So he has been guarding this grave for a long time.

Meng Tianchu smiled and said: "I bought a house near here, and I wanted to walk in the bamboo forest today, but I didn't expect to see you fall to the ground, so I hurriedly stepped forward to wake you up." ”

Qin'er looked at Meng Tianchu with some embarrassment and didn't speak.

Meng Tianchu looked at the tomb, only to see that the tombstone read: "Hangzhou Shui Muyan's Tomb", he turned to look at Qin'er, Qin'er looked at Meng Tianchu with some weakness, lowered his head and did not speak.

Meng Tianchu walked up to Qin'er, helped her up, and said, "I heard that the person in this tomb is the person in the painting I mentioned to you last time, what's the matter?" Why did you come to worship her? ”

Qin'er sighed and said, "I still don't hide it from my son, this grave is my former master." ”

Meng Tianchu seemed to be very surprised, and said, "You are someone else's master, why did she become your master again?" ”

Qin'er said: "A year ago, I was just a maid, but she was my master. Did Childe look down on Qin'er's background all of a sudden? ”

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Where will it be? You believe in me to tell all the words in your heart, how can I have other thoughts. ”

Qin'er found a large flat stone and sat down, leaving a large section for Meng Tianchu. Meng Tianchu smiled and sat down beside her.

Qin'er said: "My master is actually a very miserable woman, who died before she was twenty years old. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that her expression didn't look like she was playing, so he said: "You can come to see her, it means that your master and servant relationship is still good." ”

Qin'er sighed: "Although I have only served her for one year, she has not treated me with a little master's shelf, taught me to read, read books, and even let me sleep with her when the master did not come back, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be where Qin'er is today." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "No wonder you came to see her from so far away, she must be very relieved under the Nine Springs." ”

Qin'er heard Meng Tianchu say this, with a look of shame on her face, and said: "Don't tell the boy, I still have guilt for my former master, I want to fly to the branch and become a phoenix, and I don't want to be just a maid's life for the rest of my life." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "So, you."

When your master is not paying attention. Let the lord pay attention to you? ”

Qin'er smiled bitterly: "Actually, in front of the master, the master will never pay attention to me, she is so beautiful, what am I worth?" ”

Meng Tianchu knew that what Qin'er said was true, so He Yingming spent his blood to redeem Shui Muyan from the Qinglou, didn't he just like this peerless beauty to laugh for herself from now on? Naturally, other women will not be easy to see.

Qin'er continued: "It's just that the master's heart is too high, although she was ransomed from the Qinglou by the master. But he didn't want to be white-headed with the master. She thinks that the old man will only make money. I don't understand elegance, I don't understand the style. The lord bought her a house here, also because she took the initiative to ask to live here, at that time the lord was unwilling, and wanted to take her back to his home in Hangzhou directly, who knew that she would rather die than not, the lord had no choice. According to her wishes, a house was specially built for her here. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Isn't it good to be in Hangzhou? Why did you choose Renhe County, and it is still in a village. ”

"I didn't know about it at first, but later I learned that the reason why Miss wants to stay here is because she has to wait for someone."

Meng Tianchu didn't understand, and asked, "Wait for someone?" Waiting for whom? ”

Qin'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, the painting I saw at your place last time was painted by that person for Miss." The young lady has been hanging in her study. Dust this painting every day. ”

Meng Tianchu then remembered that it was written in the painting that "Lou Yue Jushi gave a dream person", so in this way, maybe Shui Muyan and other places are the Lou Yue Jushi. She deliberately built the mansion in this place. Is it because that Lou Yue is from Renhe County, or even Sunset Village?

Qin'er saw that Meng Tianchu didn't speak, so she said, "Did Qin'er say this to Gongzi and make Gongzi feel bored?" Then I won't talk about it. ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly said gently: "As long as Qin'er speaks, I love to listen to it, besides, the girl in the painting is indeed a stunning woman, and I am even more happy to hear you talk about her." ”

Seeing Meng Tianchu say this, Qin'er smiled and said, "That's good." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Then how long have you and your young lady lived here?" Has anyone she been waiting for has been here? ”

Qin'er said: "I have lived for more than a year, on weekdays, there is no one else in the house except me and Miss, the lord only comes once a month, only stays for a few days at a time and leaves, Miss never stays, the lord is also very unhappy, but she has always been very good, she wants to buy her what, once, we saw a person on the street with a monkey, Miss was happy for a while and said yes, the lord saw that Miss was very happy, without saying a word, he immediately spent five taels of silver to buy. ”

Meng Tianchu suddenly heard Qin'er talking about monkeys, and immediately interrupted Qin'er's words and said, "What? Does your lady still have a hobby of raising monkeys? ”

Qin'er nodded and said: "Since the monkey was bought back by the master and given it to the young lady, the young lady's mood has really improved a lot, and she knows that she is joking with the old man or something, and the old man also stayed for a few more days that time, and the monkey has been following the young lady, almost inseparable." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Is the monkey smart? ”

Qin'er thought of the monkey, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Very smart, Miss rarely spends a lot of time in the study alone, but spends a lot of time with the monkey every day, teaching the monkey to give her a pen, a fan or something, the monkey later actually looked at the eyes of the young lady to know what to do, at that time, Miss was often amused by the monkey very happy." ”

Qin'er told Meng Tianchu a lot of interesting things about the monkey, and the two of them sat in front of the grave and laughed at the monkey's fun.

Meng Tianchu said: "What about the monkey now?" ”

Qin'er shook her head and said: "On the first day of Miss's death, the lord just asked me to go to Hangzhou to accompany Mrs. to incense, so I was not there, and then the lord came back on the third day, and I learned from the lord that Miss died, and after that, the lord never let me come back, and I don't know the whereabouts of the monkey." ”

"You mean that on the day you left, the master was here to accompany the young lady?"

Qin'er nodded and said, "Yes, I originally said that I was leaving, but Miss said that she was not feeling well, and the master was not at ease, so he asked me to go to Hangzhou first, and he accompanied Miss." Who knows..."

Meng Tianchu deliberately said regretfully: "That monkey is also a pity, so smart. ”

Qin'er said: "That's really smart, she only listens to the young lady alone, and she doesn't listen to me and the master." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, looked at the sky, and said, "It's getting late, I'll send you back, where do you live?" ”

Qin'er stood up, looked at the tomb again, stepped forward, knelt in front of the tomb, and after kowtowing three times, she stood up and said to Meng Tianchu: "My carriage is at the intersection, and I don't plan to live here, so I plan to rush back overnight, so as not to worry about the master." ”

"You seem to have a good relationship with your master?"

Qin'er smiled slightly and said, "Let the son see the smile, I also saw a woman's life from the young lady, I should know what it is." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, Qin'er took two steps, turned around, and said: "Childe asked me just now, has the person who Miss is waiting for been here, I forgot to tell you, only one man has come, that person is dignified, talented, and similar in age to Childe, and looks about the same, although Miss didn't tell me if that man is the person she was waiting for, but the day that man came, Miss was the happiest day I have ever seen, I remember that it was midsummer, and the pears were just ready to eat, They sat downstairs under the pear tree and drank wine and chanted poetry all night. ”

"Don't you know what the man's name is, what his last name is, and where he lives?"
