The moonlight is like a hook, and it will be midnight in half an hour, and many people have already fallen asleep.

Whether it was Shen Kan or Shen Peiwen, they didn't feel the slightest sleep, and the two sat quietly in the octagonal pavilion on a seven-curved bridge.

The surface of the water is sparkling, reflecting the silvery crescent moon, the koi fish swim in the water, and the insects on the shore are very noisy. In the hot summer, there is not a little wind, and if you are worried, you will not feel the cool feeling even in the middle of the night.

Shen Kan is under tremendous pressure, what if something happens to Shen Peiwei after falling into the water?

At this time, Yuqin ran over with her skirt, sat beside him, and said, "I have three hundred and six verses of the Book of Songs, and the monthly order is seventy-two."

"The Book of Songs" is a Confucian classic, generally known as the three hundred poems, because six of them have a table of contents but no poems, so there are also 305 articles, and Shen Peiwen's title is the three hundred and six poems.

The monthly order is one of the "Book of Rites", according to the 12-month season, which describes the sacrificial rituals, duties, decrees, prohibitions, etc. of the ancient dynasty, and summarizes these in the system of the five elements, so there are seventy-two candidates.

After saying excitedly, Shen Yuqin found that no one responded to her, looked at her brother and sister strangely, and suddenly found a piece of rice paper on the stone table, and there was a poem on the paper with dry ink.

Chongyun is easy to lock when the building is month, and it is difficult for lone butterflies to find entry flowers.

What a famous lady is, the Shen family has jade beads in vain.

The laughter under the curtain is not bought, and the pen is difficult to write in the window.

The people in the Tian family's house were not there, and Mei Xue looked at each other for a lifetime.

Yuqin, who is extremely talented, suddenly saw the strong reluctance to leave Xiao Suo in the poem, raised her head in surprise, and suddenly saw the tears on the eldest sister's face.

She was just about to open her mouth to ask what was going on, when she saw Shen Kan, who had been silent, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: "Mei Xue will eventually have a parting day, and she will get rid of unjust debts and hatred for a long time; The red fragrance and cold are exhausted, and the good score is clear and flat into the movement. ”

Shen Yuqin opened her mouth in surprise, she didn't know what she meant, and when she saw Shen Peiwen nodding lightly, she also wrote with a pen: "Yingying is like a smile, and the pulse is not in the wind; Sending a message to the tomb of Wuling heroes, a smile and resentment disappear when they meet. ”

At this time, Shen Peiwei sat on a chair, thinking about her thoughts.

Mei'er brought a cup of hot tea and put it on the table, but she never drank a sip of the tea until it was cold, and she couldn't swallow dinner.

On the spur of the day, he threw the brocade paper on the ground according to Shen Kan's instructions, and then unsurprisingly made trouble to this step, but he actually regretted it.

When she thought of her father's hard heart, she was sad for a while, afraid, angry, and hateful, in short, she was in a mixed mood.

Time passed little by little, Shen Peiwei became more and more frightened, but the matter had come to this point, so she could only secretly say to herself: "It's a blessing or a curse, let it be fate."

After midnight, there was no movement.

One watchday, there was still no movement.

When it was time for the second watch, just when Shen Peiwei couldn't support it and planned to sleep in wide clothes.

Suddenly, a cronie woman from the side of the second wife, Gan's, rushed in and said to Shen Peiwei with a panicked expression: "It's amazing! When the lady heard that the old man was going to kill the young lady in the third watch, she hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and wait outside. It was important to tell the girl to take refuge in Ke's house quickly, and the lady instructed to take Ru'er and Mei'er over together. ”

Ru'er and Mei'er were suddenly frightened, and without waiting for Shen Peiwei to ask, the two maids dragged her out and ran out, for fear that she would be caught by the master if she was a step late.

In a panic, the three masters and servants were carried out of the Shen family quietly, without alarming anyone.

Looking at the bright light from the lantern on the gate, Shen Peiwei inevitably felt sad and happy in her heart, sad that her father wanted to execute her, regardless of the relationship between father and daughter; The good thing is that her mother noticed it in advance and sent someone to rescue her, which saved the trouble for the fifth brother.

She was convinced of that woman, and she didn't know that Shen Jiamo was personally escorting her behind.

In the dark night, the two sedan chairs walked for about half an hour at night and came to the Dongting Lake, where the shore was full of Luzhou, and the lake was endless.

Shen Jiamo said: "Stop the sedan car."

Shen Peiwei in the sedan chair was shocked when she heard her father's voice, knowing that it was not good, and she was afraid that she would die tonight.

With sadness welling up in her heart, Shen Peiwei's eyes turned red, and she heard Shen Jiamo shouting, "You three little sluts, come out quickly!"

As a last resort, the three masters and servants had to get out of the sedan chair, and by the moonlight, they saw the swarthy lake surging, so as not to frighten their souls.

Shen Jiamo said to the palanquin man: "You go back first, no one will talk much about tonight's affairs."

This move made it clear that they would not be allowed to go back, and Shen Peiwei couldn't help but ask with a trembling voice: "Dad!" What are you going to do with your daughter and two girls here?"

Under the light of the torches, Shen Jiamo's face looked particularly gloomy and terrifying, and he sneered: "You shameless slut, ruining the reputation of the Shen family and your father's innocence, and you still have the face to ask?" Good! The old man will tell you the truth, I originally wanted to put you to death at home, but I had to go to the funeral, which would alarm outsiders, so I designed to bring you here. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the surface of the lake, "Look, the eight-hundred-mile Dongting is the burial place of your wait." Don't blame your father for being ruthless, you are careless for a while, and it is difficult to forgive, it is all because those two little sluts have seduced you, so they are just as hateful. For if you sell them to others after you die, will you not harm them again? Why don't you ask the two of them to go to the Dragon Palace with you. ”

"Ahh Ru'er and Mei'er were stunned and trembled with fright.

Without knowing it, Shen Peiwei's face was already in a state of no sadness or joy, and she said calmly: "Since my father wants my daughter to die, my daughter doesn't dare to disobey, but I finally let my daughter say goodbye to her mother and thank her for the kindness of the old man's nurturing, but my father made my mother and daughter can't be separated." Alas, it's okay, it's not a pity for me to die, but the two of them are really innocent, and I beg that when I go, my father will put them back with their relatives. ”

"Shut up." Shen Jiamo kept in mind the words of Jiao Niang tonight, and completely angered the two maids with the pain of losing her daughter, "How can I forgive those two little sluts? In short, if the three of you master and servant do ugly things with one heart, then you must atone for your sins together. You don't have to delay, no one will come to your rescue, hurry up and hit the road. ”

"Daddy." Shen Peiwei was anxious, "It's such a matter of two lives, how can you explain to their family?"

Shen Jiamo snorted coldly: "It's just a thick shirt, anyway, they are all your dowry girls, spilling out the water."

Shen Peiwei shook her head and said, "Then after I die, I beg my father to take care of my mother."

"I see." Shen Jiamo interrupted her impatiently, "Get on the boat." ”

Seeing that my father has the slightest pity? Shen Peiwei finally completely lost her heart, took a deep breath at the moment, didn't say goodbye, turned her heart sideways, took the initiative to take the hands of the two girls, and the three of them got on the boat.

Ru'er and Mei'er were crying and crying, and they were pulled to the boat by her tremblingly, Shen Peiwei looked up at the starry sky in the sky, and didn't know if there was a chance to see it again.

Shen Jiamo also jumped into another small boat quickly, and with a wave of his hand, the two boats sailed away from the shore in a blink of an eye.

The boat had traveled a long distance and came to a slow stop.

At this time, I heard Shen Jiamo shouting from afar: "Tie them with stones!" Then you jump down yourselves, don't let the old man do it himself. ”

"Ugh." The two boatmen sighed in unison and looked at the young lady apologetically.

"Miss, I don't want to die!" Ru'er cried, and Mei'er grabbed Miss's arm.

"Don't be afraid." Shen Peiwei comforted, although she was trembling with fear, she could only choose to believe in her brother at this juncture, and it was just a big deal to die in the belly of the fish.

Gritting her teeth, Shen Peiwei remembered Shen Kan's instructions, and must not ask someone to tie the stone, otherwise it will sink too quickly.

She suddenly dragged the two maids forward, then let go of her hands and pushed them down one by one, and then she smiled miserably and jumped ......

Fog had already risen on the lake, and Shen Jiamo's boat was not far away, and he couldn't see this side clearly, so he heard a few "poofs" and knew that the three of them had committed suicide in the water, but they were still relieved, standing on the bow of the boat with a torch and looking around.

The two housekeepers on the boat looked at each other, and they didn't tie the stones according to the master's explanation, after all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and the young lady is too pitiful, so they both chose to hide it.

Shen Jiamo observed for a long time, but there was no movement on the water, and then he sighed.

"It's not for my father's heart, it's just for the sake of our family's reputation, I hope you will be reincarnated as soon as possible. Alas...... Let's go, go back. ”

Soon, the two boats vanished.
