Chapter 9: Drunk, Not Drunk
"Four years ago, when the eldest young master was doing business outside, he visited the master's good friend, that is, the young lady's father, and only then did he meet the young lady. I remember it was a rainy day, and when I heard that the young master was back, we all went out to greet him. But the young master hurried home, and the wet clothes were not changed, so he ran directly to the front hall and knelt down to ask the master to propose, saying that in this life, the young lady will not marry, and if the master does not agree, he will not get up. I chased after him with a towel, and just saw that the old man agreed, and the smile of the eldest young master at that time, I think I was the most sincerely happy to see him smile. Of course, the marriage was fanfare and beautiful, and the eldest young master went to pick up the young lady back in person. The young lady just got married, and the two just started to respect each other like guests, sweet and sweet, and we all think that they should be a pair made in heaven, talented and beautiful, and they are a good match. But now it seems that the young lady is really pitiful. Lei'er sighed, although she was the young master's personal maid, she still couldn't help but sympathize with the young lady, "It's very strange that after marrying the young lady, the young master seems to have changed a person, often running outside, and ......"
"And?"
"I don't even know him anymore, I often come back with a strong smell of alcohol, and I don't go to the young lady, I heard others say that he went to spend all day drinking, alas-I really don't know why the young master became like this."
Bai Qiuchi suddenly remembered that the room between the two of them was indeed not in the same place, which was really strange.
"What's more, he ......" Leil said this, and she was embarrassed to continue.
Bai Qiuchi understood in his heart, this eldest young master must not have let go of the maid in the family.
"Thank you, Miss Lei'er, for telling Poor Dao so much, and finally I want to ask about the fire three years ago, can you still remember the situation at that time?"
"I remember that at that time, it happened to coincide with the Qingming Festival, and my family decided to go to worship their ancestors, and by the way. Who knew when I came back and saw that there was nothing left. My sister...... He also died in that fire. Lei'er couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of her sister Rui'er, "If she were still alive, she would be fifteen years old by now." ”
"Did anyone survive then?"
"No, no one is spared."
"What about the third young master?"
"Third Young Master? He went on a trip with us. ”
"Have you seen him show up?"
"No, the third young master is weak, so he has been in the carriage."
"Who took care of the third young master at that time?"
"I don't know, it may be the third lady, right?"
In this way, it is impossible to determine where the third young master was when the fire occurred. Second Young Master and Lei'er, who is lying? Or maybe it's not the truth.
"Was there anything unusual before the fire? Someone or something? ”
"Strange thing...... Lei'er thought for a moment and said, "At that time, the second young master ......"
"Yo, what a handsome man!" Suddenly, a woman appeared not far away, interrupting their conversation.
Obviously she is still in mourning, but she is wearing a bright orange embroidered gauze dress, from head to toe, with all kinds of accessories, especially the New Gold silk beaded flower Duobao Yingluo worn around her neck, which is shiny and extravagant. The makeup on her face was very thick, and her bright red lips were slightly open and she smiled charmingly, but she looked very young and could not tell her actual age.
The corners of her mouth lifted, stumbling and swaying over, "Oops", and deliberately fell on Bai Qiuchi's body.
Bai Qiuchi instinctively dodged away, but he still immediately reached out to support her kindly, and wanted to let go of her hand after holding her steady, but who knew that she quickly stretched out her hand and wrapped it around Bai Qiuchi's neck.
What a fast skill, he is a person who practices martial arts!
"Up close, it's even more handsome!" Taking advantage of Bai Qiuchi's distraction, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand.
This time, Bai Qiuchi didn't give her a chance, let go of her, and took a step back at a faster speed.
"Third Madam, you are drunk again. This is Bai Dao Chief! Lei'er came back to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to support the third lady.
The third lady Yan Lingsha stabilized herself, the orchid fingers covered her face, and an imperceptible smile emerged, this Bai Dao is not simple!
"Third lady, I'm sorry." Bai Qiuchi was the first to apologize.
"Bai Daochang is really handsome, which meets my appetite." Yan Lingsha said to herself, "It's just a little puzzled!" It's a pity, it's a pity that my family Yanshi understands my thoughts, so let's go first! ”
As she spoke, she had already taken a few steps, looked back and smiled, and said, "Next time, don't push me away!" ”
"Bai Dao Chief, please forgive me." Lei'er embarrassed and embarrassedly explained, "The third lady will be like this when she is drunk. ”
"It's okay, I just think it's a little weird." It was quite close just now, but he didn't smell the wine at all, I don't know what the purpose of this third lady leaning up like this? Moreover, the third lady's skills are not shallow, what is her origin? And why is it here? Does it have anything to do with this eldest young master?
"Miss Lei'er, do you know what happened before the third lady got married?"
"I don't know the specifics, the third lady was brought back directly by the master, what kind of Yuege? I don't remember, I heard other people say that it seems to be a ...... Qinglou. Leil was a little embarrassed.
"What is the third lady's surname?"
"Geese, geese of geese."
"That's it."
Luoyue Pavilion, the largest green building in Huaixiang City, the women in it have changed their surnames to Yan as their names, but this is only a green building on the surface, and it is hard to say what role it plays in the rivers and lakes. Bai Qiuchi only knew that there was a lot of information from * here, but because his sect Tongyou Sect had its own department to investigate information, it didn't seem to have any contact with the Falling Moon Pavilion.
"These may be more clear to Steward Mo." "Those of us who are subordinates don't have a lot of talk. ”
"Forgive the presumptuousness, why did the third lady appear here in the eldest young master?"
"This ...... I didn't dare to speculate, but I saw that the third lady often came to look for the eldest young master, but the eldest young master rarely went to her. ”
"Thank you, Miss Lei'er, when we talked about the fire before, you said that the second young master ......"
"Once, I saw that the second young master seemed to be throwing something, quite a big bag......"
"Lei'er, come here!" Hu Yanshi's voice came from the room.
"Yes!" Lei'er bowed to Bai Qiuchi and hurriedly ran over.
Quite a big bag of stuff...... What is it?
Interrupted again......
Bai Qiuchi knew that he had been here, and the eldest young master should know it soon. As for Lei'er's words, like the second young master, they can only be used as a reference, and they have to sort out their thoughts and learn more about the situation.
