Qiuqiu looked at Su Mengtang, Su Mengtang was looking at Yunhua in confusion, and didn't seem to know Yunhua's proposal in advance, but then he understood and instructed Ziwen: Ziwen, you take the little master and Miss Qiu to see the newly raised deer in our villa, and when you pass by the small kitchen, you can take some vegetables and feed the deer. After that, she looked at Qiuqiu in her arms very gently, and Su Mengtang felt that children generally like small animals. Hearing the word kitchen, Qiuqiu suddenly reacted: No, didn't the master bring her to eat, how did it become a conversation and a visit to the zoo. So he protested loudly: Master, Qiu'er is still hungry!

This sentence was like a chemical weapon, which made everyone present react on their faces: Su Mengtang looked at Yunhua with some reproach; Yunhua looked out with some guilt; Simon looked at Qiuqiu with both disappointment and sympathy; Ziruo Ziwen looked at Su Mengtang seriously, waiting for her to command. Su Mengtang said to the two maidservants: Quickly instruct the small kitchen outside the pavilion to make something simple and delicious. Then he blamed Yunhua quickly: If Xiaoqiu hadn't said it herself, Brother Yunhua would have planned to spend the child hungry?

Qiuqiu saw it clearly from the side: although the master did not move on the surface, his ears suddenly turned red. She defended Yunhua and said: Aunt Su, I burned the kitchen myself, so my husband and I had nothing to eat, and I ate pears on the road just now, and I was not particularly hungry. After that, he told Su Mengtang about his feat at noon and the experience of fighting the fire with his master, Su Mengtang and March listened with great interest and laughed, and when the master planted the burnt bamboo back with a black face, Qiuqiu himself laughed. Yunhua whispered a defense, but was directly covered by the laughter of the three people, and couldn't help laughing too. While laughing, the four purple-clothed maids had already removed the fruit cakes, brought various dishes and rice porridge, and put the dishes and chopsticks of two people. Ziwen said: Do you still have some food for the girl and the little master? Simon March said, "I wasn't hungry, but I'm hungry when I see these meals, Master, let's eat together, it's crowded." Su Mengtang put a little on Ximen's head with his shallot-like fingers, and said angrily: Eat, eat, you have eaten a few meals today. After saying that, he also smiled, Ziruo added two more pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and everyone happily ate an afternoon meal.

After the meal, because he knew that Yunhua had something to say to Su Mengtang, Qiuqiu and Ximen March walked out of the room obediently. At this moment, the sky is full of colorful clouds outside the Liudan Pavilion, Qiuqiu leans on the railing on the third floor and looks out, and the vision just falls on the river that has just come by bamboo raft. Although the sky was still bright, the river and the mountains were already dark, and it was difficult to distinguish them. Ximen March, a little boy, called her "Little Qiu'er" next to her, talking about the interesting things about his and Su Mengtang's travels, completely without the shame he had when he first met.

Qiuqiu listened boredly, and suddenly remembered the name Zhao Hong that she had just heard Su Mengtang mention, she interrupted Ximen March's speech and asked him: March, do you know Zhao Hong? Simon March was asked, he didn't know why Qiuqiu didn't listen to him tell the story, and asked him a name, so he said a little angrily: No, what's wrong? Children at this age have the strongest desire to express themselves, and if they knew, they would definitely say it all. Qiuqiu turned around and looked at Simon March, this little boy was tiger-headed, and he looked very smart and cute.

It is safest to talk from a child's mouth, Qiuqiu thought, she comforted March and said: It's nothing, you are talking interestingly, it reminds me of a person. Ximen March was appreciated, and he was immediately overjoyed: Xiao Qiu'er, my master has also taken me to Dali, Dali is fine, next time I will let the master take you with me. Qiuqiu smiled: If you took me there, why didn't you take me two years ago? Simon couldn't answer in March, he was a little anxious, and said: I. . . My Master. I brought it to Master, but Master... Don't worry, next time I will ask Master to take you there.

Qiuqiu provoked him and said: I don't believe it, you have the final say in this Jiangnan Villa?

Simon March was so angry that he stomped his feet: You. . . Xiao Qiu'er. You've changed.

Qiuqiu looked at the angry appearance of the little boy in front of her, and felt very funny, she smiled and stretched out her hand to touch the top of his head: Tell me, how have I changed?

Simon was a little overwhelmed by this sudden gentleness, thought for a while and said: You used to call me Brother March, and you used to be not as lively as you are now, you don't like to talk, and you don't like to laugh. Just now, when you told us about firefighting, I noticed that you were different.

This little clever ghost is quite meticulously observed. Qiuqiu made a foolish "shh

What kind of logic is this? However, Ximen March believed it and said loyally: Xiao Qiu'er, I won't tell others, don't worry. Qiuqiu patted Simon's shoulder in an adult way, and said solemnly: I am naturally relieved that you do things. Simon was overjoyed when he received the weight: As long as you are still the best in the world with me as before, I will let you do everything and listen to you. Qiuqiu said with a smile: Really? Then you can take me somewhere.

On the second floor of Liudan Pavilion here, Su Mengtang and Yunhua were still sitting at the table where they had just eaten, talking. Ziruo opened the door to serve tea, and when she saw the solemn atmosphere, she withdrew. Su Mengtang continued: Have you found out who caused the poison? Yun Hua chuckled: "Who poisoned it, Miss Su can't guess it?" Su Mengtang was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh of anger and said: If my father is still alive, I will let my father send someone to kill him. Yunhua looked at Su Mengtang in front of her, her temperament was still as free and uninhibited as when she was a child, she felt relieved in her heart, and said to her: "Miss Su is now running this huge villa, if it all depends on Uncle Su's prestige back then, I am afraid that no one will be afraid of the girl after a long time." What to do, how to do it, life and death, you should weigh the pros and cons yourself, and then make a plan. Su Mengtang looked at Yunhua's eyes and said, "Brother Yunhua's words. It's for me to send someone personally. ”

Yun Hua hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's just casual talk, Miss Su don't take it to heart." A few months ago, Qingzhou sent me a letter saying that he had found Shi Miyuan's crime of ignoring the law of the country and conniving at his relatives to buy land as private land in Jiangning, and he wanted to write to the emperor to sue him. I persuaded him to only investigate the person concerned, and not to point directly at Shi Miyuan in the recital. Qingzhou's temperament, where is he willing to listen to persuasion, he still participated in Shi Miyuan's book, but he was secretly poisoned within half a month, and he knew who instigated it without asking. Mengtang listened anxiously and asked, "Brother Zhao's body is now recoverable?" Yunhua nodded: "Jinshu went to Jiangning after receiving the news, she has superb medical skills, I think it's no big deal." Now Zhuo Ran has also gone to Jiangning to help Cheongju take care of Fuzhong affairs. Mengtang laughed when he heard this: Hahaha, where is Zhuo Ran going to help Brother Zhao with affairs, I think he is going to accompany Sister Jinshu." Yunhua lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, his expression was already calm, and he said: "I said this to the girl, I want to tell the girl, now you are with the orphan of General Han Qingzhi, just like me with Xiaoqiu, it is nothing more than that we don't want the heirs of our old friends to be cut off in this world, so we just want to have a peace, and we don't have to worry about it for the time being." If you provoke the grass snake to be jealous, bite back, and hurt the two children, it will be too late to regret it. When Mengtang heard this, his momentum was three points weaker than just now, and he said to Yunhua: "Brother Yunhua, don't you want to redress the grievances of Brother Zhao Hong's family and General Han Qingzhi's family?" Yunhua Zhengse said: "Yes, but now is not the time, Shi Miyuan controls the government and holds real power, if we want to move him, we must fight for all our net worth, so we may have a chance of winning." Xiaoqiu is only eight years old, Ximen is only nine years old, and when they grow up and can protect themselves, let's make plans again. ”

Su Mengtang didn't speak for a long time, as if he was chewing on the meaning of Yunhua's words. Yunhua stood up, slowly walked to the window and looked out, the sky in the mountains in the evening was magnificent and spectacular, and the wind was cool. "Anyway," Mengtang said: "Sister Ning'er will bring people tomorrow, I just want to see and know the truth of the year." ”

Yunhua turned around and said: Isn't the truth clear enough?

Two tears rolled down Mengtang's cheeks: I just want to know why Shi Miyuan didn't stop after demoting Zhao Hong's brother to King Ji, and he had to kill his family.

Nanhua sighed and said, "Then let's meet." Then close the window.

A bamboo forest outside this window suddenly made a slight sound, Ximen March and Qiuqiu quietly walked out and walked a little farther, Ximen March said: "Xiao Qiu'er, why did you let me squat behind to sentry, I can't hear anything behind, do you hear it?" Qiuqiu said: I don't have it either. March was a little discouraged: it wasn't fun at all, we didn't hear it, I squatted for a long time in vain, and I didn't dare to move. Qiuqiu said in her heart: Fool, I am a good ear, so naturally I heard everything.
