Chapter 19: Conspiracy Brews
That night, Du Xiaomeng had a very strange dream.
In her dream, she faintly heard bursts of cries that seemed to be broken. The cry was inexplicably familiar. She couldn't help but get up and follow the cry, but she went around in a fog and couldn't find a way out, and the cry kept ethereal not far away, and it never stopped drilling into her ears again and again. After spinning in the fog for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw a little light, and she ran towards it, but after a few steps, the prospect suddenly brightened.
She saw a stone arch that looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it. The cry came from behind the door, and she walked in without hesitation. Walking past the archway, the sight behind the door made her involuntarily stop and stay there.
There is a stone under a big tree, and on the stone sits a girl in ancient costume who is crying miserably with her face hidden.
This scene and Du Xiaomeng remembered the situation when they first met Xiangxiang.
"Who are you?" Du Xiaomeng suppressed the inexplicable fear that surged in her heart, but her voice trembled uncontrollably.
The girl in ancient costume stopped crying, removed the sleeve of her dress that covered her face, and raised her head.
Seeing that face that was not unfamiliar, Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but shout: "Xiang'er! ”
With this shout, she suddenly woke up. Gasping for breath, she sat up and looked around, and saw that the sky outside the window was already bright, and through the bright light, she could see that this was her room, and there was no other fragrance. Subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, only to find that he was sweating, and the clothes on his body were also wet with sweat.
Du Xiaomeng sat on the bed for a while before slowly getting out of bed.
The muscles were sore, as if I had really been walking around all night last night. I walked to the dresser and sat down, looked at the bronze mirror next to me, and was startled by the unattractive face with two big dark circles under my eyes. Du Xiaomeng slapped her face a few times hard to sober herself up. She thought about the dream just now, and remembered the inexplicable heartache when she met Zhang San yesterday, and her eyebrows couldn't help wrinkling together.
Could it be that Xiang'er's soul has always stayed in this body? And she, the intruder, occupied Xiang'er's body strongly, and Xiang'er, who was as weak and incompetent as Lin Xinru, had no way to drive her away, so she could only hide somewhere? It wasn't until Zhang San's reappearance that Xiang'er was affected, so there was yesterday's abnormal mood and strange dreams?
Du Xiaomeng looked at the person in the mirror and asked to herself, "Xiang'er, are you still inside?" ”
The person in the mirror looked at her calmly. Du Xiaomeng said again: "If you are still here, do you have a way to drive my soul out of your body?" I didn't even think about taking over your body, but somehow, I woke up and became you. ”
After speaking, Du Xiaomeng stared at the face of the person in the mirror, trying to find some clues from it, but after staring at the old man for a long time, nothing abnormal appeared, and it was not until the maid who was temporarily serving her came that she withdrew her gaze from the mirror.
When Yahuan was waiting for her to freshen up, she couldn't help but ask, "Did the young master of the Lin family leave the General's Mansion?" ”
Yahuan replied respectfully, "Mrs. Hui, not yet." ”
Hearing this answer, Du Xiaomeng didn't know why she suddenly had an ominous premonition. I don't know if it's because she hasn't changed her sweaty clothes yet, she feels that her back is sticky and cold, as if there is a gust of wind blowing, which is uncomfortable.
Avon Garden on the other side.
Early in the morning, someone came to report to Qiu Sha: "Madam, the light of the northern kingdom has sent a little girl over, saying that she is bringing you a roast leg of lamb." ”
Qiusha seemed to be very happy and said, "Let her in!" ”
The subordinate was ordered to retreat, and it didn't take long for him to walk in with a timid little girl in her teens.
The little girl was wearing a Beiban suit, and although her eyes were not green, they were also high in the bridge of the nose and deep in the sockets. She saluted Qiu Sha, held up an oiled paper bag, lowered her head and said restrainedly, "Mrs. Qiu, my father asked me to send a leg of mutton to you." ”
Qiu Sha passed the oiled paper bag in her hand and asked, "Why did you come over today?" ”
The little girl withdrew her hand, still lowered her head, and whispered: "The store is very busy today, and the adults can't leave, so my father asked me to send things over." ”
Qiusha smiled and said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, go to the kitchen to see if there are any snacks or fruits and other things, and bring some back to this little girl." ”
"Yes." Xiaohong answered and went out with the subordinate who led the way.
Everyone in the General's Mansion knew that Qiusha was the guest of honor of the Light of the Northern Kingdom. Every time there is a festival in the Northern Barbarians, the boss of the Light of the Northern Kingdom will definitely order someone to bring a leg of mutton or other food. Today came a little girl who gave a leg of mutton, and everyone thought it was an ordinary thing that could no longer be ordinary. And Xiaohong has followed Qiusha to the Light of the North many times, and she recognizes this little girl as the boss's little daughter, so she won't think of going anywhere else.
After Xiaohong and the others left, the little girl's head was raised with her head down, and there was no timid expression on her face, but with a coldness that did not match her age.
The door was wide open, Qiu Sha seemed to glance at the door casually, and said softly: "If you want to come to the door in person, is there anything important?" ”
The little girl said slowly, "It's about you asking us to follow that person." Her voice had changed, it was no longer a crisp child's voice, it sounded like that of a grown woman.
Qiu Sha's eyes froze, and she quickly asked, "What did you find?" ”
The little girl still looked cold, and asked rhetorically: "Is there a guest from the General's Mansion?" ”
"That man is the woman's brother." Qiusha replied quickly.
The little girl continued: "She went to a small snack shop called Fu Ji yesterday. On the way back to the General's Mansion, she ran into the man's entourage, and I heard the attendant call her 'Xiang'er'. ”
"Did you hear me wrong?" Qiusha reacted quickly and asked questions.
The little girl smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to doubt my ear power, you must have heard me correctly." Then she told what she had heard.
After listening to the little girl's words, Qiu Sha's delicate face showed an inexplicable smile. The little girl is a first-class tracking master hidden in the light of the north, her ability is unquestionable, and the information that comes out of her mouth is 100% reliable.
It seems that the opportunity she Qiusha has been waiting for has finally come!
In the afternoon, the General's Mansion was quiet.
After Zhang San had lunch and waited for Lin Furong to fall asleep, he was idle and had nothing to do and did not have the habit of taking a nap, so he wandered around in the general's mansion.
Old Man Zhan said that he wanted the young master of his family to treat this place as his own home, and he should not be restrained. Isn't his young master's home his home? So, he unceremoniously put on a blackened eye, scurrying around the general's mansion unrestrainedly, and opened a pair of eyes wide on the body of the girl in the ring.
The girls in the capital are beautiful! Look at that face, look at that waist, look at that ass, tsk! How wonderful! I was stunned to see Zhang San's saliva flowing, and I felt that itch in my heart!
Zhang San patronized and looked at the girl and didn't care about the road, even if he went there. As he walked, a beautiful woman in pink broke into his line of sight. Take a closer look, ouch! It's terrible, that girl is not ordinary beauty! Look at the good figure that is convex and backward, look at the delicate little face, look at the delicate facial features that seem to be drawn, and also, her watery green eyes seem to be seducing, but she inadvertently swept half of her eyes, Zhang San suddenly felt that the bones in his body were crisp off.
The girl who seemed to have come out of the painting noticed Zhang San's presence and smiled at him.
The girl's smile made Zhang San, who was crisp / to the point that he didn't even have scum in his bones, laugh out of the clouds. Zhang San looked at the girl's smiling face, and felt that he was floating in the sky as if he was drunk, and he couldn't find the north.
Just when he saw that his eyes were about to fall off when he saw the girl, a fierce and vicious thick girl ring flashed out from behind the beautiful girl, and the dominatrix crossed her hands and waists in front of the girl, and the willow eyebrows were upside down and scolded loudly: "You prodigal son, what do you see!" Is my family's Mrs. Qiu for you to see casually? Look at it again and gouge out your eyes and feed them to the dogs! ”
was cut off from the sight of the girl who was stuck to the girl's body by the thick ring, and Zhang San, whose soul flew in the sky and couldn't find the north, immediately fell back to reality from heaven, but the three souls and seven spirits have not yet fully returned to the body, and the bones that are crisp / so that even the scum are gone have not returned to normal all at once. He was stunned in place, looking at the girl ring and opening her mouth to "I" for a long time, but "I" couldn't come out.
The stout girl glared at him fiercely, and scolded: "What am I, me!" I don't care about you! Don't stand in Madame's way. ”
"Xiaohong, no matter what people say, they are guests, don't be rude."
That good-looking girl is talking in the back, she looks good, and her voice is good! Zhang San felt that the bones that had finally come back were once again crispy. However, this time he didn't fly into the sky flutteringly, and finally stopped his saliva and stood up straight.
If you have to say that Zhang San has advantages, it is that he can observe his face and look at his face, and he is good at finding problems from other people's words. Although he was so fascinated by his sister just now that he forgot what his father's surname was, he could still hear from Yahuan's words that the girl in front of him was a lady, called Mrs. Qiu.
As far as he knew, there were two wives in the general's mansion, one was his own Miss Jiu, and the other was the general's concubine, Mrs. Qiu.
After his brain came to his senses, Zhang San immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He, a slave, stared at the general's wife like that just now, but it was disrespectful!
Thinking of this, Zhang San's knees softened, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and cried with a mournful face: "The villain is blind and rude to his wife, beg his wife for forgiveness!" Ask the lady for forgiveness! ”
Qiu Sha smiled magnanimously and said softly: "Those who don't know are not guilty, so why are you guilty?" Get up. ”
Zhang San didn't dare to get up, so Qiu Sha asked Xiaohong to step forward to help him. Although Xiaohong was reluctant, she still stepped forward and pulled Zhang San and said, "Madame wants you to get up!" ”
Zhang San stood up tremblingly and shrank aside.
Qiu Sha said very kindly: "There are few guests in the General's Mansion, and I usually don't see outsiders, so it is a kind of fate that you and I can meet here today." Don't be afraid, I won't eat you. ”
As she spoke, she chuckled, and the soft laughter was in her ears, and it was such a treat!
Hearing that this lady seemed to be very approachable, Zhang San's heart relaxed, and he raised his eyes and secretly looked at Qiu Sha.
Qiusha was also looking at him with a smile, so frightened that he quickly lowered his head. Qiu Sha smiled and asked, "Your name is Zhang San?" ”
Hearing his name come out of Qiu Sha's mouth, Zhang San was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again.
Qiusha asked again: "Do you like Xiang'er very much?" ”
Zhang San was stunned again. This lady not only knows what her name is, but also knows about him and Xiang'er? He was hesitant not to know how to answer.
Qiu Sha stepped forward, still with a faint smile on her face, and said softly: "Xiang'er is a good girl, I heard about you, so I came to you." If you really like Xiang'er, I can help you hug the beauty. ”
Zhang San raised his head and looked at Qiu Sha in surprise.
The corners of Qiusha's mouth curved, and a seductive smile bloomed, and she said, "However, you have to tell me everything about your past with Xiang'er first, so that I can find a way to be an adult." ”
Qiu Sha's smile easily charmed Zhang San, and the piece of pie she threw was right for Zhang San's appetite, so that Zhang San had no reason to refuse. So, Zhang San, who had been thinking about taking a concubine for a long time, told all the past affairs between him and Xiang'er like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, without making any reservations.
