Chapter 39: Awakening from a Dream

Under the cherry blossom trees, the petals are flying.

Mu Ying played the piano, and Shi Feng danced.

Shi Feng changed into a pink and purple gradient embroidered cherry blossom wide-sleeved fairy dress, the multi-layered skirt is also like a petal of flower leaves, one layer is darker than the other, the skirt is larger, the cherry blossom petal tassel with shell material falling on the waist and the pink and purple shell flower droplets on the neck reflect each other, wearing a wreath of flowers on her head, and the gradient rice beads and streamers hanging down also shine with her dance. The white, pink petals actually rotated with Shi Feng's movements and danced with her.

Shi Feng hummed a song, which was a smart natural sound, but there were no lyrics, but she sang with the tune sometimes shallowly, plus she was able to make several sounds at the same time, and sometimes there was a feeling of chorus, and the small bells with a crisp sound on her body seemed to be accompaniment, and she really wanted to make people sigh "This song should only be in the sky, and there can be a few times in the world."

Mu Ying's long hair spread out and fluttered in the wind, and the petals didn't care when they landed on it, just plucked the strings with his slender fingers, and the petals rose, swirled, and vibrated around him. The voice that was as clear as a silver bell played a hundred flowers; The lively and bright sound is played by the murmuring of mountain springs; The thick and deep voice like a whimper sings to the vast expanse of the distant mountains...... The sound of the piano changed from bright and jumpy to longer and longer, sometimes blank, and the aftersound lingered in the ears.

Mu Ying's guqin was carved by himself, and after his skillful hand, the melodiousness of the guzheng and the lightness of the pipa were fused, making the sound of the qin different from the vicissitudes of ordinary guqin. No wonder his guqin is twice as big as the others. From time to time, he looked up at Shi Feng who was dancing, and when he played to a happy place, he couldn't help but chant a few words with Shi Feng's voice.

The eyes of these two people, their eyebrows and eyes, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't bear to destroy this harmonious and beautiful picture, of course, Nameless and Qin Fang were still expressionless.

Gradually, the three colors of light merged on the most central circle, lighting up different hexagrams, the Bagua array turned, the ground cracked again, and the familiar shaking hit, and everyone was unstable in their center of gravity, and they all slid towards the center......

"Don't! Don't fall! Fanluo shouted in his heart, but he couldn't control his body and fell.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Fanluo, wake up—" There was a shout from Jinluo in his ears, Fanluo woke up, firstly, he was frightened, and secondly, the lion roar of Jinsu was too strong.

I actually fell asleep while reminiscing, this dream was really long, and things happened in a few days, if it wasn't for the brocade interrupting, it is estimated that he could continue to dream.

"What's the matter with you? I've been calling you for a long time! Jin Fu crossed his waist and wrinkled his nose to look at the still confused complexion.

"I don't know if I'm too tired, I feel like I'm sleeping comfortably and deeply, like I'm floating in the water."

"Okay, don't make excuses, Big Brother Bai called us."

"Okay." To avoid being scolded and beaten, Fanluo quickly jumped up and cleaned up three times and five by two.

Today they are going their separate ways. Fanluo was responsible for secretly following the third lady, and Jinxu went to the second lady to understand the situation, and Bai Qiuchi and the second young master were more familiar, so I had to go to the second young master to confirm it again, and then understand the situation with Min'er, the maid before the eldest lady. At any time, they will use the method of Jinxu to exchange situations.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jin Xu came to the second lady's residence, and when she went in, she found that the yard was full of flowers and herbs, many of which she couldn't name.

"Second lady." Jin Xu knocked on the door and walked in.

"Miss Jinxu, you're here, please take a seat." The second lady Shu Xueyan put down the embroidery in her hand and made a "please" gesture.

Shu Xueyan's room was simply furnished, neatly cleaned up, only a peculiar fragrance came from it, filling the whole room, but it was refreshing and very comfortable.

"Second lady, your room is so fragrant." Jin Xu took a hard breath.

"This is my own soothing incense made with sixty-four plants." Shu Xueyan smiled gently, "I always feel like I can't sleep well when these strange things happen." ”

"That's amazing, are there all your own plants outside?" Jin Su asked.

"Yes, I usually don't have anything to do, just plant some flowers and plants to keep me company." Shu Xueyan didn't have Mrs.'s shelf, she looked very easy-going, poured tea and handed it to Jinfu and said, "This is also my own warm flower tea, Jinxu girl can try it." ”

"Drink so well! I've never had such a delicious flower tea! "The fragrance came to the face, the warm tea slid into the throat, the temperature was just right, the indescribable feeling, in short, it was very relaxing.

"It's over, and if you have time, the girls can come to me to sit and drink tea." Brother Bai said that Shu Xueyan was from Shuying Building, a mysterious organization that used secret weapons and poisonous assassinations, but she felt very comfortable, not contaminated with any Jianghu atmosphere, but like a born cultivator.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of hearing that the second lady is from the Shuying Building." Jin Xu still couldn't help but say curiously.

"It's okay. It's been a long time since anyone has talked to me about the past. Shu Xueyan held her chin and recalled, "Let's be honest with you, I have learned to use drugs since I was a child, and I have also witnessed some terrible and vicious incidents. But I'm a person who keeps to myself, my family asks me to learn from retreat, and I also protect me from outside interference, I don't understand many things, and I never ask about family affairs, everything is as it is. ”

The second lady saw it so openly, Jinxu didn't know how to evaluate it, so she had to say: "Actually, I came to ask you about someone." ”

"Who is it?"

"It's your maid."

"She was indeed my maid before, but now she has gone to the Third Lady." The second lady asked, "Is there anything wrong with her?" ”

"She's dead."

"What?" Shu Xueyan was shocked, "What's going on?" ”

"In order to get a jewelry box from Big Brother Bai by unscrupulous means, he committed suicide by taking poison when the matter was revealed, do you know about the jewelry box?"

"Jewelry box?" The second lady shook her head.

"But tonight we're going to open the jewelry box so we can know the secrets inside."

In fact, this is also to deliberately put the jewelry box in Bai Qiuchi, and the matter that will be disposed of soon is revealed to the second lady, to see if she will take action.

"Alas, another human life...... I really hope things are resolved soon. The second lady sighed and said, "When Li'er was by my side, she has always been very responsible. Until one time I found out that she had frequent contact with the third lady's maid Ying'er. ”

"It doesn't seem like much to have good friends at home, right?" Jin Xu asked.

"There is really no problem," Shu Xueyan said, "It was one day, I found that one of my clothes was missing, I didn't care about it at the time, and after a few days, the clothes came back." This happened a few times, and I paid attention to it, and found that it was Li'er who secretly took my clothes to Ying'er, and I didn't know what to do. ”

"Then is it usually Li'er who helps you pick out your clothes?"

"Yes, so I rarely look at the closet, and I found out about it by chance last time I was looking for that dress."

"I see, what happened after giving Ying'er?"

"That's not true, I asked Steward Mo to help me find out what was going on, and I found out that the third lady asked her to take it, but what it was used for is still not clear."

Third Lady ...... Saying this, it is even more certain. She not only took the defective clothes of the eldest lady, but also the clothes of the second lady, which was very suspicious.

"Did you track it down?" Jin Xu asked.

"Knowing that it's the third lady, I don't bother to care, after I married into the Hu Mansion and the other two ladies entered the water without violating the river, I did my duty and never exceeded the rules, she should have done it for a reason, but it didn't hurt me, so I decided to forget it, Steward Mo still seems to want to track it down, you can also ask him."

"Okay, thank you, Second Madame." Jin Su hurriedly thanked him, "So how did Li'er go back to the third lady later?" ”

"Li'er turned out to be the third lady's maid, but at that time, there was a shortage of people on my side, and the third lady took the initiative to recommend Li'er to me, saying that she was smart and capable. Indeed, how can the maid who came out of the third lady* not be clever? Shu Xueyan shook her head and said, "This happened, I didn't bother to investigate, so I let her go back where she came from." ”

"Would she like to go back?"

"Naturally, I don't want to." Shu Xueyan said, "She knelt down and begged me, telling me that she didn't want to go back, I don't know if it was because there was something between the third lady and her, but I always felt a pimple in my heart when I let her go." ”

The third lady's suspicion gradually escalated, and she had to tell the two of them quickly. So Jin Xu thanked her, said goodbye, and before leaving, Shu Xueyan also gave her two bags of flower tea, hoping that she would come to sit often.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After leaving the courtyard and making sure that there was no one around, Jin Su immediately passed the news to the two. The three decided to meet again.

After Jin Xu finished talking to the second lady before, Bai Qiuchi frowned and thought.

"I always feel that the second lady is not as simple as it seems." Bai Qiuchi looked at the two of them and said, "As a lady, there should be a lot of clothes, and when I found that the clothes were missing, I didn't immediately question them, but slowly observed and found evidence that the maid stole the clothes, she was thoughtful and very calm, and she couldn't take it lightly." If she really doesn't care, she is a person who is willing to think about others, and she will not force Ping'er to kneel and beg her to go back, she should think that if she stays with her, someone will continue to monitor her. ”

"In this way, I was really careless, she spoke so softly, and gave me flower tea." Jin Xu consciously took out the flower tea, "I have checked it, and there is basically no problem, but she said that it has a calming effect, so I don't plan to drink it in the current extraordinary period." ”

"That's right, good things to share!" Fanluo unceremoniously took a pack, "Keep it for later." ”

This...... But it was specially saved for Big Brother Bai!

"Anything else strange?" Seeing that Jin Fu was about to get angry again, Bai Qiuchi hurriedly diverted her attention.
