Song Qing took a sip lightly, "I won't marry you, you have a wife, and you take concubines everywhere, marry me, where do you put it?" When a vase? I don't do it! ”

Yang Qiuchi squinted his eyes and smiled: "If you don't marry me like this, what do you want to marry?" "But to be honest, she is Song Zhixian's niece, although she doesn't know her family background, but seeing Song Zhixian spoil her like that, I'm afraid it's not much worse, an official eunuch like her, she has to give her a big head when she marries, she really wants to marry, and she has to weigh whether she dares to marry or not.

"If I want to marry, I will marry a man who is wholeheartedly good to me alone." Song Qing gently slapped Yang Qiuchi's shoulder, raised her head slightly, and said very yearningly. As soon as the words turned, he slapped Yang Qiuchi's shoulder twice, "I will never marry you like this to see a love for one, hum!" ”

Yang Qiuchi belched: "Light, you want to beat me to death?" Why am I so bothered? ”

"I still said no, I heard Yun'er's little sister say that your former concubine, Sister Zhihui, just ran away because she saw your heart."

"Nonsense~!" Speaking of Qin Zhihui, Yang Qiuchi felt a pain in his heart, and said in a low voice, "I don't know how she is now." ”

As soon as Song Qing's words came out, he regretted it a little, gently held Yang Qiuchi's shoulder, leaned down and leaned against his head: "Brother Qiuchi, I said it wrong, I have seen it in the past two days, you are indeed a good person." Sister Zhihui will be fine. Don't worry. ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "Let's continue." ”

Okay, Song Qing gently gave Yang Qiuchi a while before she sat obediently aside, holding her chin and watching Yang Qiuchi busy.

It was already very deep, and there were a few lanterns hanging in the room, which illuminated the room. Feng Xiaoxue came a few times, and seeing that Yang Qiuchi was busy, it was not easy to urge him to sleep. was going to accompany Yang Qiuchi, but seeing Song Qing accompanying him, Yang Qiuchi persuaded Feng Xiaoxue to go back to sleep and leave him alone, so he went back to the house to sleep alone. Yahuan Yuechan came over from time to time to pour tea for the two of them, change a lantern or something.

Yang Qiuchi glued the deceased's hair to it and then colored it according to the person's skin, as close as possible to the person's appearance. Slowly, the skull and clay, which were not a little scary and lifeless, turned into a beautiful girl. At this time, the fourth watch day has passed.

Song Qing stared at this statue, she was stupid, and it took a long time before she said softly: "It's so beautiful~!" After thinking about it, he said, "I don't know if she is so beautiful in the first place, or if Brother Qiuchi deliberately made her so beautiful." ”

Yang Qiuchi said with a smile: "The external shape of a person's head and face is based on bones, which is related to the thickness of facial soft tissues, and the position, structure, and shape of a person's facial features almost all depend on the shape of the bones. ”

"So how do we find this guy?"

"Let your dad find a painter to draw her and post it everywhere, I believe there will be news in a few days." Yang Qiuchi propped his hands on the table and leaned down to look at the statue of this beautiful girl, "Because, such a beautiful girl must be very famous." ”

It's finished, it's time to rest, Yang Qiuchi asked Song Qing to sleep in Qin Zhihui's new house, don't go back, Song Qing didn't want to, insisted on going back. Let Yahuan Yuechan send it, Song Qing didn't do it, and asked Yang Qiuchi to send it in person. Anyway, in the county office, Yang Qiuchi wanted to get a small lantern, Song Qing laughed at him, is he still afraid of ghosts in the county office? Yang Qiuchi was embarrassed to take it, and the two went out together at night.

It was already early winter, and it was already very cold in the middle of the night in early winter, Song Qing shivered, and Yang Qiuchi smiled: "You wear so little, I'll get you clothes." ”

"Don't! Don't bother, just a few steps. Song Qing took Yang Qiuchi's hand, her bright eyes were like stars in the night sky, "Brother Qiuchi, can you hold me?" ”

Yang Qiuchi's heart skipped a beat, and the late night covered the expression on her face and her girlish shyness. If she refuses this request, it will hurt her. The last thing Yang Qiuchi wants is to hurt the heart of a flawless girl. He gently hugged Song Qing's waist, Song Qing was close to Yang Qiuchi, and he could almost hear his pounding heartbeat so nervously.

After a short journey, neither of them spoke, for fear that it would break the peace of the night. The two of them walked very slowly, like stars wandering in the clouds, savoring the beauty of the night. But no matter how far the road is, there is a time to go, not to mention that it is not far in the first place.

The two walked to the door of the inner office, Song Qing knocked on the door, and when she heard the movement of the door opening inside, Song Qing suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Yang Qiuchi lightly on the face. The door opened, and before Yang Qiuchi could react, Song Qing's shadow had already disappeared into the door.

―――――――――――――――― Yang Qiuchi had been lying on the bed for a while, and he still didn't feel sleepy at all. Feng Xiaoxue's soft and warm body wrapped around Yang Qiuchi's body, and said softly, "Husband, what are you thinking?" ”

"Are you awake? ――I didn't think about anything. ”

Feng Xiaoxue twisted her body and wrapped herself a little tighter: "I know, you're thinking about Song Qing." ”

Yang Qiuchi's body shook slightly, and he covered up: "Nonsense, I'm thinking about how to solve the case." ”

Feng Xiaoxue didn't argue anymore, paused for a while, and said: "Actually, Miss Song Qing is quite good, but she is the niece of the county magistrate, and he can ...... the magistrate county lord" stopped at this point.

Yes, Yang Qiuchi has been reminiscing about the kiss that Song Qing printed on his face, and he knows very well in his heart what it means for a girl in the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Song Dynasty, even in modern times, such a thing cannot be joked. Does she really like herself? It's only been a long time since she came to Guangde County, and she hasn't been with her for long, how can she be? Are you really that attractive? Yang Qiuchi was a little secretly proud, if her mother was willing to let Song Qing marry her as a concubine, it would be good, but I was afraid that it would be quite difficult.

Yang Qiuchi saw that Feng Xiaoxue in his arms didn't speak, and wondered if she was jealous, but she couldn't see her expression clearly in the dark, so he hugged her ** smooth satin-like body: "Don't think about it, Xiaoxue, it's enough for me to have you." ”

Feng Xiaoxue put her face on Yang Qiuchi's chest and said softly: "Xiaoxue knows that her husband is good to Xiaoxue, but she is just ...... Don't be too aggrieved, husband himself......"

Early the next morning, Song Zhixian, Master Jin, and Song Qing sisters came to Yang Qiuchi's house. Yang Qiuchi was still sleeping, so he had to forcibly get up and wash up and leave the room. When she saw Song Qing, she was a little embarrassed, but Song Qing didn't seem to have happened to last night, she still laughed and joked with Song Yun'er, and secretly glanced at Yang Qiuchi from time to time. When Yang Qiuchi's gaze met her, he quickly fled again.

Yang Qiuchi led them to the room where the mortuary remained. Song Zhixian was taken aback when he saw this avatar, showing a very puzzled expression. Master Jin also exclaimed and said, "Isn't this the Keying girl from the Drunken Ying Tower?" ”

Song Zhixian nodded: "I also feel like Miss Keying." When Song Zhixian said this, he was a little embarrassed to cover up, "This official has only seen her once, and it happened a few years ago, and her beautiful appearance left a deep impact on me." He turned his head and asked Yang Qiuchi: "Virtuous nephew, is this avatar really the appearance of the white bones restored?" ”

"Yes, it should be about the same. Uncle, do you know each other? ”

Song Zhixian didn't answer yet, Yahuan came to report, saying that Long Zixu was visiting.

Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised, wasn't this Long Zixu handling the funeral for his wife? How did you run here. Hurriedly greeted the door and asked, "Mr. Long, is the matter done?" ”

"It's done," Long Zixu said hatefully, "There's nothing to do, this slut has ruined my style, and their mother's family also feels shameless, and there is nothing to do about this funeral, so it's hastily buried." ”

So it was, Yang Qiuchi took him to the room, and after Long Zixu gave Song Zhixian a gift, he saw the girl's head sculpture on the table in a blink of an eye, and he was stunned like a wood carving, and looked at the girl's head in a daze: "Ke Ying?" He turned his head to look at Yang Qiuchi and asked urgently, "Young Master Yang, why do you have a statue of Ke Ying?" Do you know her? I'm looking for her so hard! Where is she? Yes? One shook Yang Qiuchi.

"You know her?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

Long Zixu nodded, and still asked repeatedly: "You tell me, where is Ke Ying?" Did she blame me for hiding and not wanting to see me again? ”

Song Zhixian, Master Jin and Long Zixu all thought that this person was a girl named Keying, so that's right. Listening to Song Zhixian's words, it seems that this girl was born in a Qinglou and should be very famous. Song Zhixian was born in these so-called romantic gentlemen who were born in the imperial examination, of course they would know her. Master Jin often finds this kind of woman for officials and gentlemen to drink and have fun, and of course he knows him.

Song Yun'er pulled Long Zixu away: "You calm down, you tell us first, who is she?" Yang Qiuchi and the others also nodded.

Long Zixu turned his head and looked at the beautiful girl's portrait carefully: "She is a red-card singer in Ningguofu's Drunken Yinglou, named Jin Keying, and she has never seen her in Guangde since she said goodbye to her in Guangde two years ago." He grabbed Yang Qiuchi's hand again and asked eagerly, "Young Master Yang, tell me quickly, where is she?" ”

"She's dead, and the white bones that I mistook for your wife before are her."

Long Zixu's face opened wide and he couldn't speak, let go of his hand, took two steps back, glanced at the portrait again, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell on his back.

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly held him up, only to see that his face was like gold paper, his teeth were clenched, and bright red blood stains hung on the corners of his mouth, and he had fainted. Hurriedly pinched people. It took Long Zixu a long time to wake up, looked at them, suddenly turned over, rushed over and hugged the avatar, put his face on it, and cried.

Yang Qiuchi patted him on the back: "Brother Long, take care of your body, we still have to avenge Miss Jin." ”

After a long time, Long Zixu stopped crying.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Brother Long, you tell us as much as possible about this golden girl, so that we can find the clues." ”

Long Zixu sobbed and said, "My family was originally in Ningguo Mansion, and my family background is quite solid. I met Ke Ying five years ago, and one day, Brother Yi Feng and I went to Drunken Ying Tower to drink......"

"Yi Feng? Who is Yi Feng? Yang Qiuchi asked.

"It's the son of Hao Yuanwai of Ningguo Mansion, a friend."

As soon as she heard this, Song Yun'er looked at Song Qing strangely and grinned. Song Qing glanced at her with a blank face and didn't speak.

Long Zixu continued: "I met Ke Ying, she was only fifteen years old at that time, she was beautiful, she had a good singing voice, especially the long-sleeved dance, which made the entire Ning Guofu shake. I often go to listen to her sing and watch her dance. We are familiar with each other. I wrote the lyrics, she composed the music, and the words we had together were really ......" Long Zixu sobbed and cried, unable to speak any longer.

Yang Qiuchi and others don't persuade either, the more you persuade him to cry this kind of thing. After a while, Long Zixu's crying voice was low, and then he continued: "My family still has some land, but then my father's business has eroded the old capital, and I ...... I threw money into the drunken Yinglou all day long, so that the family fell into the middle of the road, and the old father and mother died of illness one after another. The house is surrounded by walls, and the old bustard will not let me enter the drunken warbler building. The houses and fields were all sold out by me and thrown into the drunken warbler building. I was forced to move to Guangde County. Copying, writing, and eating for others. ”

"Jin Keying didn't dislike me because I was poor, and often secretly took a little girl to Guangde County to find me. still wrote lyrics and composed music together, she often paid for me to drink, sing and dance, and gave me some help from time to time, she gave me the courage to live. ”

"The last time I saw her, it was two years ago, I remember it seemed to be spring, the peach blossoms bloomed, she took the little girl ring to come to me by car to go to the green, we drank, chanted poetry, so unhappy, until the afternoon, she left in the carriage. I haven't seen her since. ”

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Haven't you gone to look for her?" ”

"Of course I have looked for it, and more than once, the old bustard of the drunken Yinglou said that she went out that day and didn't come back, I don't dare to say that she came to me, for fear that they will trouble me."

"Can you remember what month it was?" The month of the IOU is not clear, and it is likely that the day on the note was the time when Jin Keying was killed.

Long Zixu lowered his head and recalled for a while: "It should be March, because I remember that Eryang Qiuchi asked: "You just said that every time Jin Keying came to you, she brought a little girl ring, do you know the name of this little girl ring?" ”

"It's called Chunya."

"Where is it now? Are you still in the Drunken Oriole Tower? ”

Long Zixu shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't been to the Drunken Ying Tower since then." ”

I don't know if it's the effect of the three words Drunken Yinglou, Song Zhixian reacted quickly this time: "Let's rush to Ning immediately, Ningguo Mansion is drunk, and Drunken Yinglou is looking for this little girl." ”

Master Jin said: "Dong Weng, let's just go, you are busy with official business, so let's not go." ”

Song Zhixian said: "No, I can't rest assured, let's go together" Half of it is the reason for the future and fate, and half of it is the temptation of Drunken Yinglou itself. When the people saw that he insisted, it was not easy for them to say anything.
