Old man, do you mean Master Qi?

"Let's watch," Qi Jiasheng sneered, and said slowly: "Before he comes back, there must be someone who can't hold back and wants to sing another big show." ”

Jiu'er looked back at the wide alleys outside again. A servant carried clean water and sprinkled it in front of the door, and the passers-by had regained their peace and tranquility. Everything, as if nothing had happened.

The wind blew, ruffled his shirt, and skimmed her hair.

"The wind is blowing."

There was a piece of flying flotsam coming with the wind, and Lu Jiuer reached out to grab it, but she didn't catch it.

There were clouds in the distance, the thicker and heavier, as if they were about to be swept by the wind.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind fills the building.

The rogue boy with strong blood is really ruthless. Talking about relatives and brothers-in-law, when punching and kicking, he really went to death with red eyes like an enemy.

Qi Bowen was forced to pretend at first, but then he really couldn't do it and screamed in pain. The house invited the doctor from Ping'an Hall to come to see the doctor, and after seeing it, he said that he was beaten too hard, and his rib was cracked, but fortunately it was not broken and injured his heart and lungs. In the end, he fixed and bandaged the son, prescribed a prescription for blood circulation and blood stasis, and then asked people to go to the medicine hall to pick up the medicine and come back to boil it to drink.

The fifth aunt and grandmother were so anxious that she burst into tears, and sent two more doctors to come and see, both of whom had the same diagnosis, saying that it would be okay to lie down in bed and raise her stool, so she was a little relieved.

Although it was a hundred days of breaking her muscles and bones, the fifth aunt and grandmother wanted to tie her son to the bed to recuperate for a year and a half. Sent someone to Master Ouyang to take leave, and the master blew his beard and glared at him.

"It's a cracked rib, and it's not a broken hand. You can read even if you're in bed! ”

So he picked out a number of books for people to take back, and asked the people to relay the words as they were.

"During this period of time, I must make a request, read at least half a volume every day, write a marking note, and hand it in."

The servant trembled and went to the fifth aunt and grandmother to reply in the same way. After hearing this, Qi Bowen was so easy to agree, and he had to lie in his mother's arms for a while.

Although the seventh young master's schoolwork has stopped, Ouyang Zhai still holds a lecture at an old age, and this time he is opening a small stove for Lu Jiu'er to disperse benefits. Anyway, the bundle of support in the house is still paid, and the master's lecture is on the note, so it is not too lazy to eat and drink in vain in the house.

Thunderstorms are frequent in July. The sun was shining a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds struck, storms, lightning and thunder.

The beams under the eaves stood in a row of birds and finches sheltering from the rain, one by one, wet and settling there, shaking their heads and wings, fluttering their feathers and shaking the water, looking pitiful and lovely.

Academician Zhou Wenshan of Yide Academy and Ouyang Zhai had a deep relationship, and in just a few months, they invited many poetry gatherings, literary gatherings, tea gatherings, etc., and almost turned all the things of the readers. In the end, seeing that Ouyang Zhai was still silent, he finally couldn't help but take the initiative to extend an olive branch and hire him to teach in the hospital. Ouyang Zhai politely refused.

"When I was down, I was fortunate to have the help of the owner and was appointed as Mr. Enlightenment, but now it has not been two or three years, and it is really difficult to resign lightly. I hope you will forgive me. ”

Zhou Wenshan suddenly felt sorry. "This invitation is valid for a long time, just waiting for your approval. Don't cut off contact because of this. ”

Since then, the two have continued to have a gentlemanly relationship and keep in contact.

Lu Jiuer continued to sort out Teng's handwriting every day, and also received careful training and guidance from Ouyang Zhai, and his knowledge made rapid progress, like a river flowing, advancing thousands of miles a day.

There was almost no figure of Qi Jiasheng in the house, let alone Wei Ziqian. In addition to hearing about him during the county trial list, in the following days, he disappeared with Qi Jiasheng.

Some time ago, when I met the second brother Wei, I asked, saying that I wanted to take advantage of the situation to catch up with the entrance examination, because the time was short and the homework was heavy, so I didn't even see the faces of their brothers, so I just buried myself in the pile of books.

Lu Jiu'er picked two pieces of the best emblem that the seventh young master rewarded, and the second brother of Motuowei transferred them to Wei Ziqian. This kind of ink is light, sharpened, smelled, and like lacquer, which is also her favorite. Gu said that the sword is a gift to a hero, she is a good ink gift scholar, and she wishes him a bright future as soon as possible for the nomination of the gold list.

There is a fast ship in Suzhou and Hangzhou to bring a letter to his family, and the return date of Master Qi has finally been set, and he will be able to step in about fifty days.

There were more laughter and laughter in the Qi house, but there was a thicker and thicker atmosphere behind it. Some people are counting their fingers and looking forward to the early return of the head of the family, and some people have stepped up the pace of planning.

When Qi Bowen could chase the stone alive to practice martial arts, the government sent a government official to spread the word, saying that Aji, who was suspected of murdering the seventh young master, had been caught, and asked Yi Ri to send someone to the yamen to recognize the person. The fifth aunt and grandmother were not shocked or irritable, as if they had known that there would be this news. But when Yi Ri's house didn't have time to arrange for someone to go, another news came, which surprised everyone who heard it.

"You! What did you just say? The fifth aunt's face changed color, and she frowned and asked, "Say it again!" ”

After all, Lian Zi is an old man who has served for many years, and she knows that her master is anxious and angry, so she bites the words and whispers clearly: "The old man of the Shu family's outer house was burned down, and he didn't return last night, but the good people who lived in it were burned to death, and I heard that she was still pregnant." The streets and alleys outside said that it was the little master's revenge......"

A few months ago, the Qi Shu scolding battle in front of the main gate of the mansion had already spread, and it ended with the seventh young master being injured. The sentence that Qi Bowen announced on the street that day, many spectators who watched the battle still heard it in their ears, like thunder:

Next time, pour fire oil! Burn you guys!

Burn you—

"The surname Shu is so poisonous......" the fifth aunt's gums clucked.

These people failed to intercept the falling cliff last time, and this time they used other people's lives as a frame-up. The so-called good friend who died, presumably a woman who clinged to the rich and noble, was slept with and disliked and couldn't correct her name, and was finally used by them as a chess piece for calculations.

"Madame, Madame—"

Pink ran from the porch, panting.

"Madam, the yamen is here again."

Lian Zi saw that the fifth aunt pursed her lips but didn't speak, so she opened her mouth and said, "You let them drink tea and sit for a while." The suspects have already been taken into custody, what else is there to be anxious about, and didn't you say yesterday that you should go again in the afternoon? ”

Fan Rui shook her head and waved her hand. She is also a married maid, and she has been with her wife for so long, so she doesn't know that she has to find out the reason first. Just now, she diagnosed that the official's expression was wrong, and after inviting someone to rest and drink tea, she quietly stuffed a few broken ingots, and only then did she penetrate her mouth in advance.

"The messenger who took the lead said that this time it is not a matter of recognizing people, but to let the lady take the little master out to give an explanation."

"What do you mean?" Lian Zi stepped forward and wanted to ask again.

But I heard the fifth aunt snort heavily, and said, "What to say!" If it was really us who did it, the one who died was definitely surnamed Shu, not the ghost who didn't know people clearly! ”

"Oh my lady!" Lian Zi was anxious to cover her mouth, but she didn't dare, so she had to persuade repeatedly, "Where can these words be said nonsense!" You should go with the flow first, and don't be in a hurry. ”

The fifth aunt and grandmother circled around the house a few times, and their minds turned a thousand times. Seeing her like this, Lian Zi and Fan Rui stopped making a noise, one lit the soothing sandalwood, and the other brewed the fire dispel lotus heart tea, and then watched the sky and the movement outside the courtyard from the side.

It's a pity that the news came too slowly......

No, it's not. It should be said that it was the people of the official office who moved too fast.

The fifth aunt and grandmother turned sideways and asked Fan Rui, "Did the official say why he came here to ask?" ”

Although the burning of human lives is a major event, it is not enough to come to ask for the guilt for a few angry words that are not visible.

"This slave didn't ask, but another messenger mentioned that we should hurry up, because the person who reported to the official had already beaten the drum and handed over the paper, and the county official was waiting for them to reply at the yamen."

Sure enough. "Does anyone know who is suing?"

Fan Rui shook her head. "Only know that it is a relative of the deceased."

The opponent's movements came too fast, and the fifth aunt and grandmother were at a loss for a while. She bit her lip and whispered to Lian Zi: "You immediately rush to the Seventh Young Master, let him stay in the inner room and not run around, and ask the people in the courtyard to confirm that the young master has suffered from wind evil these days, and has been lying in bed to recuperate, and at the same time spread the word to the people in the outer courtyard." "Let's first clear up my son's suspicions with a unified voice.

"Yes, ma'am." Lian Zi took the order and left in a hurry.

"Fan Rui, you go to Wei Dahai and ask him to send people to the official office, the fire scene and the Shu family's old house to listen to the news, don't miss anything, the more details, the better."
