The woman heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, it turned out to be her maid Lily who had picked a large handful of wild roses from nowhere, bright red and dazzling.

"Second lady, look, what a beautiful flower."

Ainu smiled faintly, looked at the road, and said, "Are you not coming?" ”

"Second lady, it's still early, let's wait, don't you like red? Slave maid take these flowers back and put them in your room, okay? ”

Ainu: "Lily, I'm afraid that you are the only one in the entire Li family who is really good to me." ”

Lily saw that Ainudai's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her clear and bright eyes were full of melancholy and loneliness, so she couldn't bear it, so she said: "Second lady, don't care, it's fine after a long time, besides, I heard the Feng girl in the master's room say that the master will leave soon, and the slave maid thinks, the master is gone, isn't it good?" ”

Ainu did not speak, but sighed, walked to the stone bench and was about to sit down, Lily quickly took a cloth cushion and put it on the stone bench, Ainu smiled at Lily and sat down.

"Second lady, Lord Inspector is here."

Ainu hurriedly turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Meng Tianchu walking towards this side with one of his entourages, and Ainu quickly got up and greeted him.

"Your Excellency, you're here."

Meng Tianchu nodded with a smile and said, "Everything in this Lingyin Temple is good, but there are too many steps." ”

Ainu smiled too. "My lord." Don't say at the feet of the Buddha that the Buddha's land is not. Meng Tianchu joked: "It's the same for the ground." Be careful to roll down the hill when you get down. ”

Meng Tianchu saw a bouquet of wildflowers on the stone table. He pointed and said, "What kind of flower is this?" It's beautiful. ”

Ainu: "Wild Rose." But it's not really that fragrant. The flowers are also not that big. It's just that the flowering period is longer. ”

Meng Tianchu: "That's also a good place." As the saying goes, it's good. Life is a lifetime of grass and trees. You can live a little longer in the world. It's worth it. ”

Ainu couldn't help but feel sad. Walked over to Meng Tianchu and sat down. Dragon Slayer and Lily retreated.

Meng Tianchu: "What." I thought I'd see you today. Will you have good news for me? ”

Ainu was puzzled, looked at Meng Tianchu suspiciously, and said, "My lord, where did you get the good news?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "Marrying into the Li family?" ”

After listening to this, Ainu told himself how he entered the Li family, and then how he got into trouble. When he was almost punished, he told Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu: "Listening to what you say, that Song Qiao is not so difficult to get along with, or when I talk to Gonggong Li, my friendship with him is still good." ”

Ainu hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, my lord, I can't do it." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Okay, in fact, I'm afraid that the effect will backfire, but you have to be careful in the future, just come to me today." That's it? ”

Ainu was a little embarrassed, and said, "Ainu knows that adults have a lot of opportunities every day, and their business is complicated. You really shouldn't waste your time on trivial matters. ”

Meng Tianchu had no choice but to persuade: "It doesn't matter, things are always inexhaustible." ”

Ainu got up and walked to the front of the courtyard, Meng Tianchu followed, and when he looked down, it was an abyss.

Ainu: "I heard that this hut is used by monks in the temple who have done something wrong to face the wall and reflect. ”

Meng Tianchu: "This place is not good. If the wind is stronger, it is possible to blow people down, you are so thin, you should not stand here. ”

Ainu smiled and said, "There is always one death, and it is useless to be afraid. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Ainu, you shouldn't be so pessimistic, now is just a beginning, a big turning point in your life." A new beginning. Don't give up on yourself easily because of small things. ”

Ainu: "At the beginning of my career, my first gentleman who taught me how to play the piano and chess told me. \\\ My purpose is to get more men to spend money for me, and I am exchanging my youth for my future. ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't bear it and said, "Now you don't need it, you are already Li Xin's wife." ”

Ainu: "Maybe what my mother said is right, just when we enter that door, it will never be clean, although I have only one man Li Xin from beginning to end, but I am also unclean." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Ainu, your idea is not good, it's easy to leave that place, you should look forward." ”

Ainu shook his head and said, "I want to, too, but I really can't see my future anymore." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't know how to comfort Ainu for a while, so he had to stand there with her, listening to the wind, watching the flowing clouds, and thinking about their own thoughts.

The Li family.

A man stood in Song Qiao's room, Song Qiao sat there, first took a sip of tea in the cup, then put it down, looked at the man, and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”

The man walked up to Song Qiao and leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear, and a strange smile appeared on Song Qiao's face.

Half an hour later.

Ainu took Lily back to Li's house, and before he reached his room, he saw the housekeeper Li hurriedly coming over.

Ainu's heart couldn't help but tighten, stopped, Li Chu approached, and said, "Second lady, the eldest lady asked you to go to her room." ”

"Butler, what did the eldest lady say?"

"It's... You'll find out when you go. After speaking, Li hurriedly walked away.

Lily walked up to Ainu and whispered, "Second lady, the slave and maid will accompany you." ”

Ainu thought for a while and said, "No, I'll go alone, you can go and go your way." ”

Lily held the bouquet of wild roses in her hand and looked at Ainu worriedly, Ainu smiled at Lily, and then walked to Song Qiao's yard.

Came to Song Qiao's door, Ainu stood cautiously at the door, and saw Song Qiao standing in front of the window pruning the branches and leaves of the peonies blooming in the vase on the table, and was about to step into the door, when suddenly Song Qiao's maid said loudly: "Second lady, the eldest lady hasn't let you in yet, why don't you know the rules so much?" ”

Ainu was startled, and quickly withdrew his foot, only to hear Song Qiao turn around and say to Er: "There are no rules, how can you talk to the second lady like this?" Then he walked to the door, took Ainu's hand, and said affectionately, "Come, sister." Come in and talk. ”

Ainu said guiltily, "Sister, I'm sorry. My sister said hello to you. ”

Song Qiao handed over the scissors, and then said to Ainu with a smile: "Look at you, don't be so polite to me, we will be a family in the future, where is there such a polite place, isn't it awkward?" ”

Song Qiao led Ainu into the door, and then said to Er, "You go and make a pot of tea for the second lady." My sister and I were talking. ”

After hearing this, he bowed and withdrew.

Song Qiao: "Sister, my mother's sister just came and brought me some Suzhou specialties and fine silk, I said to bring you some." After speaking, he pointed to the cabinet on the east wall, and there were indeed a lot of things on it.

Ainu hurriedly said: "Sister, you are so polite, this is the land that your sister brought you, how dare Ainu ask for it?" ”

Song Qiao smiled and said, "You don't want your land in the future, I said it." We're a family, by the way, I just went to your place with my son. You're not there Ainu saw Song Qiao looking at him with a smile on his face, and hurriedly said, "Yes, my sister felt bored and panicked, so she went out for a walk." ”

Song Qiao sighed, walked to the cabinet with Ainu, and said, "You can choose whatever you like." ”

Ainu: "Sister." My sister still can't ask for it. ”

Song Qiao said angrily: "If you don't choose, I'll choose it for you." As he spoke, he picked among a bunch of things, and then pretended to be careless, and said, "If my sister feels bored in the future, call me and let's go out for a walk together, okay?" ”

Ainu hurriedly said, "Okay. ”

Song Qiao picked out a pale green satin and compared it to Ainu, and praised it again and again: "It's so beautiful." This man is beautiful. It looks good in anything. ”

Ainu: "Thank you, sister. ”

Song Qiao put the silk aside and continued to choose: "That's right." Where did you just go? ”

Ainu thought for a moment and said, "Just wander around the market." ”

Song Qiao sneered and said, "Oh." ”

At this time, he walked in with tea and said, "Madam, the master asked you to accompany you to dinner." ”

Song Qiao: "Okay, you go and tell the master, and the second lady and I will go immediately." ”

When Ainu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sister, the master only called you, so I'd better not go." ”

Song Qiao smiled and said, "You, don't worry, the master doesn't mean anything else, I'll say I'll let you go later." ”

"But..."

"Okay, don't worry, I'm here."

"Then Li Xin, will he go?"

Song Qiao's face changed, and then he said with a smile: "Xianggong went out, saying that some friend made an appointment to drink, he is used to running away, and he is rarely at home for a day, you will know later." ”

Ainu: "My sister has just entered the door, but she knows so much?" ”

Song Qiao smiled and said, "Although I entered the door on the same day as you, I knew Li Xin earlier than you." ”

Ainu: "Oh? ”

Song Qiao took Ainu's hand and walked out of the door, instructed his son to choose himself for Ainu and send him to Ainu's room, and then went out of his yard with Ainu.

Song Qiao: "Actually, there is another thing that my sister has always wanted to tell you, this matter has always made me breathless in my sister's heart, and I feel very guilty with you." ”

Ainu: "Sister doesn't have to be polite, you are so good to Ainu, where is there any guilt." ”

Song Qiao smiled indifferently and said, "Do you know? I love Li Xin very much. ”

Seeing that the smile on Song Qiao's face was gone, Ainu's heart was also inexplicably tight, and said, "Sister, you..."

Song Qiao: "To be honest, in order to be with Li Xin, I was already his person before marriage." ”

Ainu was very surprised when she heard it, although Song Qiao is not a beautiful girl, but she is also a small jasper, how can she be compared with a person from a place like herself?

But after learning to be obedient, she didn't say anything, just looked at Song Qiao with a smile.

Song Qiao smiled, the two of them walked to a small bridge, Song Qiao stopped, looked at the gurgling stream under the bridge, and said, "Later, when he had you, he didn't want to be with me." ”

Ainu: "Sister, don't think like this, I think Li Xin still loves you very much." ”

Song Qiao: "Don't talk about this. Today I'm going to tell you that I wanted to conceive his child. Before we got married, I used to talk to him in your name..."

Song Qiao didn't say any more, Ainu had already understood, she felt a chill down her spine, and at this moment, Song Qiao said, "I'm sorry, sister." Now I have got what I wanted, Lang Zhong came just now and said that I was already a month pregnant. ”

Ainu barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Congratulations sister." ”

Song Qiao looked at Ainu and said, "You're starting to hurt me, right?" ”

Ainu hurriedly said, "How come? My sister didn't dare. ”

Song Qiao smiled and said, "It's not easy for women, since I've already told you, will you tell Li Xin about this?" ”

Ainu: "No, sister."

Song Qiao held Ainu's hand tightly. "Thank you, really, really, thank you very much. ”

Ainu smiled and said nothing. But there is an indescribable taste in my heart.

Ten days later. Meng Tianchu sent to the Song Family Dart Bureau Ten nursing homes were actually selected and sent from Hangzhou East Factory, for ten days, the Song Family Dart Bureau did not have a trace of movement, everything seemed to stop, and at this moment, Meng Tianchu visited again.

The chariot welcomed Meng Tianchu into the hall. After a few words of greeting, Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Che Dart, there is something to trouble you." ”

Che Yuan arched his hand and said: "Lord Patrol, you are too polite, if there is anything that needs to be done in a small way, you can just tell me." ”

Meng Tianchu: "My second lady is going to the capital to send a batch of birthday gifts, I originally wanted our own people in the house to send them, but my second lady thought that since it was a gift for her uncle's birthday, it would be bad if something went wrong, so she came to you for help." ”

Che Yuan smiled and said, "My lord." We're looking at the door, and that's what we're doing. You trust us in the Song Family Dart Bureau and hand over this deal to us. It's our honor to dart. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Actually, except for one thing, it doesn't matter if there is anything else, this thing can be described as priceless, but there can be no mistakes." ”

Che Yuan: "My lord, please rest assured, our dart game has a history of nearly 100 years, passed down from generation to generation, leaving a good reputation, adults can ask." ”

Meng Tianchu: "No need to ask, since I came, I naturally believed that you came, what do you say?" ”

Che Yuan: "Thank you for your trust. Don't know when we need to go? ”

Meng Tianchu: "The sooner the better." ”

At this time, a guy from the dart bureau came in and hurriedly said, "Boss, the third lady asked you to go, saying that there is an urgent matter to discuss." ”

Che Yuan's face darkened, and he said, "When you see the patrol adult, you don't give a salute?" ”

Seeing this, the man hurriedly walked in front of Meng Tianchu to give a salute, Meng Tianchu: "Okay, since you have something, then you can get busy first, for specific matters, you go back and find someone to come to discuss with my second lady, I will go first." ”

Che Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said, "Then I will visit you later tomorrow." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at the guy, saw that he was making eye contact with the chariot, and thought that they must have something important that was inconvenient to say in front of him, so he got up and walked out with a smile, and when he walked to the door, he happened to meet someone from his Dongchang, so he looked at him, the man bowed his head and walked away, and Meng Tianchu also said goodbye.

An hour later, the Mon house.

In Meng Tianchu's basement, the person who met Meng Tianchu in the Song Family Dart Bureau just now stood in front of Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu: "Have you found out what is going on?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, it seems that the relationship between that chariot and Song Qiao is extraordinary, saying that you want to discuss a major matter with Song Qiao, but the specific thing is not clear."

Meng Tianchu: "Did you send someone to keep an eye on it?" ”

"Go, I'll hear back soon."

"Keep an eye on it, I'm looking for a bit of a trick on this wheel."

"Yes"

"By the way, I'll take one of you with them when I go back, and say it's a relative of the hot springs, you go and set it up, and see who is more appropriate."

"My lord, then I'll go, anyway, I really followed the Governor."

"Well, well, get back to me as soon as there's any news."

"By the way, my lord, I found a painting in the room of the chariot, and the woman in the portrait looks a little similar to Song Qiao."

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he felt strange and said, "Oh? Then you should quickly find someone to check for me, the origin of this wheel. ”

"Yes"
