Liu Benyuan thought that the other party had few people, and according to his own force and the nursing home he brought, he could see the difference in a moment. Helplessly, the thieves are cunning, and when the strength is not good, there are reinforcements.

Lost at a young age, fell into the tricks of thieves.

"Ping'er, things are not good, can you catch the car?"

"Slaves and maids, but our cage is still on the carriage behind."

"When have you been taking care of those, haven't you seen that these people are not here to rob money?"

"But didn't the man say he wanted money?"

"From the beginning to the end, they didn't glance at the wagon behind them."

"What then?"

"Let's go first, they won't do anything to the eldest brother. If I'm not mistaken, the target is me. ”

"Miss, sit tight, the slave will take you out."

"Driving ......"

Ping'er raised his horsewhip and galloped towards the official road, Rumeng only hoped to meet the people who participated in the banquet as soon as possible, and the thieves didn't dare to make a mistake when they saw a lot of people.

But after half an hour there was no one to be seen, and two horses followed after him, and he was about to catch up.

"Ping'er, let's get out of the car at the corner in front and let the horse continue galloping."

"Good"

There were many trees and rocks around the corner, and the two of them hid behind the rocks, not daring to show their heads. Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves getting farther and farther, the hanging heart was let go little by little.

"Miss, what are we going to do now?"

"Wait, we'll go out after dark."

"Miss, who is besieging us?"

"I don't know, it was smooth when I came, but I was remembered when I left, and it must have been the trouble caused by the Dao Yizhi."

"But that's what Mademoiselle said?"

Ping'er took out something from the placket on his chest, and saw that the shape was the brocade book Yizhi, which was right.

"Isn't it in a cage?"

"Miss, the slave feels that she can't feel at ease anywhere, so she got up this morning and sorted out the cage on her body."

"Hey, I don't know if this thing is a blessing or a curse, but this fate can't be hidden, it's just that, you pretend to be good, let's go back to the Hou Mansion."

The master and servant took a nap with the help of a stone, and fell asleep groggily because of the fright and fatigue of the journey. When I opened my eyes again, it was already night, and there were many mosquitoes, and I don't know when, a red rash appeared on my body.

"Let's go, you and I haven't seen anyone pass by here for so long, maybe we've deviated from the official road."

"Which way is the young lady going?"

"Find a tree and take a look."

Although Ping'er didn't understand why the young lady was looking for a tree to know which way to go, she still obediently did it.

The ability to distinguish the direction at night is still to hear Fang Yujiang say that under the influence of light, the leaves in the south are dense and the leaves in the north are sparse, and although the light is dark at night, it can also be seen roughly.

"You can't go wrong this way."

"Miss, the slave will carry you"

"You save your energy, we have to take care of each other"

"Miss, if there is any danger next, run away, the slave will protect you"

"What are you talking about, where will I leave you, let's go quickly."

The two of them took advantage of the moonlight to move forward one foot and one foot shallow, but fortunately they didn't go far before they walked through the woods and walked into the official road, and the two didn't dare to rest, and walked along the edge of the woods in the direction of Jingshi.

"In another hour, I am afraid that it will be dawn"

"Miss, look, city gates. You wait here for the slave maid, and I will call the door. ”

"Go, if there is no one to answer us, we will wait for dawn."

"Anyone? Official, the slave and maid are the family members of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. ”

Rumeng sat on a rock, the dew wet his shoes and socks, clinging to his body, very cold. Listening to Ping'er tapping on the city gate in the distance, a feeling of dizziness swept over, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she slowly seemed to see the fourth aunt patting herself, saying that she would sleep for a while and it would pass.

The soft and warm voice of the fourth aunt has been lingering, and the special atmosphere makes Rumeng feel very relieved. She really wanted to lie in her aunt's arms all the time, but her father stood aside with a cold face, saying that he had to kill her to have a child.

Horror made her tremble, yes, my aunt was pregnant, but at this time her belly was flat, where was there any sign of pregnancy? Don't you really have to die yourself to save your brother?

Tears slid down her neck, wet and sticky, she wanted to reach out and wipe them away, but she couldn't move.

In her previous life, her death fulfilled Fang Yujiang, and if she could exchange her life for her aunt's happiness, she would be willing.

"Mr. Hu, you see? Miss is fine, why can't she wake up? ”

"It's okay, I should be physically and mentally tired and have a nightmare recently. I'll give a few stitches. ”

Rumeng gave up the struggle, but her body was itchy, like an ant gnawing. Little by little, it devours itself.

"Wake up, try to summon her."

"Fourth Miss? Miss, do you know the old slave? ”

Is anyone calling themselves? Like a dream, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Who are you?"

"It seems that it is okay, I will open a few more pairs of soothing soup and use it for three days."

"Brother Xie Hu."

"Brother Guan, don't be polite, you can stay here for a few days."

"I'm going to live here. I won't be going back to Jingshi. ”

"Very good, I will find you for a drink in a few days, remember to leave the door for me."

"Waiting"

If I heard someone talking in a drowsy dream, I had no choice but to fall asleep again with heavy eyelids.

When I woke up again, I felt weak and barely able to stand up.

I saw a simple bedroom, lying on a wooden bed, and squeaked when I got up. An octagonal table on the floor with a tea set. There is no side decoration except these.

There was a squeak at the door, and a little girl entered.

"Fourth Miss, are you awake?"

"You are? Do you recognize me? ”

"The slave's name is Xiaozhuang, and she is the slave of Liu's house."

"Liu Mansion? Which one? ”

"Oh, Fourth Miss, you are your own family."

"Who are your lords?"

is the third uncle of the Marquis of Pingyang. ”

"Third uncle? This is the third uncle's mansion? ”

"Exactly, Fourth Miss, you eat some rice porridge, you haven't eaten for three days, and Doctor Hu said to eat lighter."

"Three days? I slept for three days? Then how could it come to the Zhuangzi of the third uncle? ”

"Fourth Miss, go to the hall to see the master after dinner, the master told you not to say anything when you wake up, go to him and know everything."

"Where's my girl?"

"The fourth young lady slave doesn't dare to answer you, don't embarrass the slave."

"You ......."

"Miss, I put this porridge on the table, you can eat it while it's hot."

Xiaozhuang put down the food tray, turned around and went out, not giving Rumeng a chance to ask again.

Rumeng tried a few times, and finally got out of bed and dragged herself to sit at the table.

She wants to eat, Ping'er's whereabouts are unknown now, and every time she is in deep trouble, it is herself who can't leave her.

This porridge is just soft, and she is served with a side dish, which is very refreshing. After eating half a bowl, I couldn't eat anymore, and I looked at the basin in the house and washed again.

Leaned on the bed for a while, and then regained his strength, thinking about Ping'er in his heart, he decided to go to the hall to ask what was going on.

After opening the door, I always feel like a world away, there are green shoots in front of the door, the sun is very warm, and there are two spring swallows on the bare tree.

Xiaozhuang took Ping'er through the corridor to a hall, where the two old men sat and talked. One of them is the third uncle who visited the Hou Mansion during the Autumn Festival.

"I've seen the third uncle like a dream."

"The four girls are feeling better?"

"Third Uncle Xie, it's like a dream."

"Well, now that it's all right, let's start tomorrow."

"Forgive Meng'er for being stupid, what did the third uncle say?"

"Your grandmother punished you to come to Zhuangzi to atone for your sins, since you didn't come to be the fourth lady, and in the future, your food, clothing, housing and transportation will be arranged for you by a housekeeper."

Rumeng turned his head to look at the man who was sitting silent, thin, neat and clean, and his eyes were open and shrewd. The face always feels familiar.

"What do you have to justify?"

The man finally spoke, his words faint and without a trace of emotion.

"No, I only have one thing to ask. Is my girl safe now? ”

"Fourth Miss rest assured, she is in a safe place now, and she will arrange for the two of you to meet when the time is right."

"Okay, Meng'er is willing to accept the punishment, when will it start?"

"Don't worry, since there is no doubt, you can go with me."

If you are stunned, you don't ask where to go. She knew that since the old lady wanted to punish her, she couldn't hide.

"Third master, Guan Mou has taken the fourth lady back to the ancestral house, and it will be indispensable to trouble you to get old in the future."

"It's okay, this is a matter related to the entire Liu family, sister-in-law just orders."

The old man surnamed Guan took Rumeng and the girl named Xiaozhuang all the way to an old mansion.

If I heard him introduce his surname Guan, I always felt that I had heard it somewhere, and I couldn't remember it for a while. I just want to settle down with what happens first, and slowly sort out what has happened recently.

In the next two days, Xiaozhuang introduced the Liu family's old house to Rumeng.

The eldest aunt and grandmother, the old Pingyang Hou, the third uncle and the fourth aunt were all born here.

At that time, the ancestor of the Liu family was meritorious to the dragon and won the title of Marquis of Pingyang, and the big house moved to Beijing after the lord, and the second room was built outside the ancestral house with an independent portal.

Yun Ying, the aunt and grandmother of the big house, died of an emergency before she could move out. In the end, there is only one bloodline of the old Pingyang Hou.

The third uncle and the fourth aunt and grandmother in the second room have been taken care of by the old Pingyang Hou, and they have no worries about food and clothing.

According to Xiaozhuang, the small building where Rumeng lived was the boudoir of the aunt and grandmother.

Since she came in, she knew that this was a woman's boudoir, but she didn't expect it to be her own aunt and grandmother.

The soft ornaments in the boudoir have been broken and cleaned up by Xiaozhuang after many years, but the furniture is there.

The first floor is the study and hall, and the second floor is the bedroom.

This is the only two-story pavilion in the old mansion, which has been eroded by wind and rain for decades, and still stands.

Walking in the century-old mansion, you will be greeted by the breath of history.

"Fourth Miss, the butler is waiting for you in the hall."

Xiaozhuang opened the door of the hall and let Rumeng in. ”

The butler was standing in the room with his back on his back, and turned back when he heard the door open.

"Fourth Miss, I am like a brother to your grandfather in terms of seniority, you can call me a grandfather; In terms of dignity and humility, you are the master and I am still the servant, and the master of the same family generally calls me a steward. ”

"I've seen my grandfather in a dream."

"Okay, now that the identity has been decided, I will establish rules, in the future, there will be no fourth lady from the Pingyang Hou Mansion here, and there will only be the Liu family like a dream."
