Chapter 1: Spring Back Garden
The night is dark, the stars are dotted, and the early summer night is warm and cold.
From the grass in the back garden of Xia Hong's mansion, the Ministry of Labor heard the voices of men and women talking.
I heard a girl say in a panic: "Young master, it's you today...... On the night of the candles in the cave room, you want to ...... with the slave and maid That ......, miss, no, grandma will be upset if she finds out......"
A man's voice said, "Leave her alone! Kiss Begonia baby, quickly take out all your Fengliu methods, young master, I can't wait......! ”
Then there was the sound of a hissing tear and a soft scream of the girl, followed by a sound of screaming.
Suddenly, in the starry sky, one of them slowly became brighter and brighter, dazzlingly bright!
At this moment, the young master straightened up, grabbed his heart with his right hand, and let out a painful moan. Immediately, he lowered his head, twisted a few times, and was next to the **** girl, motionless. At this moment, a bolt of lightning shot down from the dark night sky and shone on the man's body, shining brightly, like a god descending to earth!
The maid first closed her eyes and gasped, cooperating with the young master's movements, and suddenly found that the young master was not moving, and she was slightly surprised, she kept her eyes closed, and did not notice the young master's painful expression covering her heart just now.
The girl waited for a while, but still didn't move, and then felt a dull thing fall beside her, and then she hurriedly opened her eyes, and saw that white light slashed on the young master's **** like lightning!
This lightning was quiet, although the girl did not hear the thunder, but the shock at this moment was definitely no less than a thunderbolt. The girl reached out and probed the man's snort, and found that there was no breath, and screamed in fright that resounded throughout the back garden.
She struggled to crawl out from under the man, put on her dress haphazardly, and ran out in panic.
Running to the door of the back garden, an old man with a white beard stretched out his hand from the darkness and grabbed the maid: "Begonia, didn't I ask you to serve the young master in the back garden?" How did you get out? What about the young master? ”
The maid Haitang was terrified: "Old man, it's terrible...... Just now...... A bolt of lightning ...... Put the young master ...... Chopped the young master to death! After that, I cried.
"What?" Lao He was taken aback, "Go and report to the master and grandma!" "Hurried to the back garden.
Lao He hurriedly came to the man's side, only to see him naked, his eyes rolled and his mouth foaming, and he didn't know what to do. As soon as he sniffed, he was already exhausted, and he immediately began to cry.
After a while, Xia Hong, a foreigner, rushed to the back garden with his wife and a large group of servants, and when he saw the man's miserable appearance, he also panicked, Xia Hong hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Tianchu?" ”
Lao He had already taken the man's shirt and put it on him indiscriminately, and was leaning over him and weeping sadly, when he heard the old man ask, he replied: "Begonia said...... Say the two of them are in the back garden...... When the young master ...... The young master was struck by a lightning bolt that fell from the sky, and he was already out of breath~! How can I be worthy of the dead master~! As he spoke, he was already in tears.
Mrs. Xia, who was standing on the side, showed a hint of relief on her face, but she pretended to cry sadly.
Among the onlookers behind them, a little maid with big eyes and a very handsome appearance squinted at the maid Begonia who was hiding in the corner and trembling with fright, turned around and glanced at the disheveled man on the grass, spat lightly, and said to herself: "Good death!" The newlyweds are happy to do such things! Deserved to be struck by lightning! Hum! ”
"Feiyan, don't be unreasonable!" Mrs. Xia turned her head and glared at the maid.
The maid Feiyan hurriedly bowed down and agreed, not daring to say anything more.
Xia Hong stomped his feet and said, "I didn't take good care of Tianchu, but how can I be worthy of his dead father!" ”
It turned out that the young man on the ground was named Meng Tianchu, and his father Meng Hao and the foreign man Xia Hongxia, a member of the Ministry of Labor, were young classmates and friends, and they were brothers with different surnames.
In the imperial examination, Xia Hongjin was named in the gold list, and after entering high school, he embarked on a career as an official, and became an official to the Ministry of Industry. And Meng Hao not only failed to succeed repeatedly, but also fell into the middle of the family, and the husband and wife finally died of depression.
Although the Meng family has fallen, and Meng Hao is dead, but he is still trustworthy, first helping to urge Meng Tianchu to take the imperial examination, and want him to make a name for himself and then marry his daughter. made this Xia Hong so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Xia Hong saw that Meng Tianchu was over the age of a weak crown, but like his father, he had repeatedly failed the imperial examination, and his daughter had also reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and if she didn't marry, she would be laughed at. In desperation, the two were arranged to get married today.
Unexpectedly, after worshipping heaven and earth and sending it into the cave room, this Meng Tianchu was not good to enjoy the pleasures of life in the cave room, but he ran to this back garden to fool around with the little maid, and heard the servant say that he was killed by thunder.
Thunder slashed to death? Impossible. Xia Hong raised his eyes to look at the starry sky, and yelled at Lao Hetou: "Nonsense! There are no dark clouds and no rain, where is the lightning and thunder? ”
This old He Tou is the old servant of the Meng family, although the Meng family has fallen and the Meng family and his wife have died, he is still loyal and has been following the young master Meng Tianchu, hearing this, the old He Tou hurriedly said: "The old slave also listened to what Haitang said." ”
Xia Hong's face turned pale, turned around, and stared at Haitang: "You slut, what's going on?" Say it! ”
Haitang was so frightened that her whole body trembled, she fell to her knees, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy: "Yes...... It was Lao He who gave me two hangings of money and asked me to accompany the young master in the back garden, but as a result, a lightning bolt came down from the sky and killed the young master......"
"Dare to talk nonsense! Where does the thunder and lightning come from when the sky is full of stars? Xia Hong decided that Haitang was talking nonsense, and said hatefully: "It's clear that you seduced the young master, this early summer night, the weather was freezing and doing that kind of thing, and you got the 'immediate wind', so you died, you slut, you dare to seduce the newlywed aunt on a candle night in the cave room!" What a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die! Come! Pull her down, whip her a hundred, and send her to justice! ”
All the house slaves agreed in unison, and they stepped forward to drag the begonia.
Begonia struggled and cried about wrongdoing. When he was tossing, he heard Meng Tianchu, who was lying upright on the ground, sigh, and then slowly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked around: "I...... Where am I ......? ”
Lao He was surprised and delighted, and pounced on Meng Tianchu to hug him: "Young Master~!" Are you okay, young master? That's great! The old slave thought you were dead, but now it's okay, great! ”
Xia Hong was even more overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and asked, "Tianchu, it's really good that you're okay, lie down and don't move first, how do you feel?" ”
Mrs. Xia and the pretty little maid Feiyan were full of disappointment, and Begonia was a surprise to escape from death.
