Chapter 22 Unknown Origin

Shisu learned the whole story of this incident, and his brows were twisted together.

The strange picture of her being sunk to the bottom of the water by Fuchun a month ago came to mind again.

A woman in a yellow dress, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a face like white jade, a red cinnabar mole at the corner of her mouth, a clever smile, beautiful eyes looking at her with a smile, the water is surging, the woman's clothes are fluttering, like a fairy concubine.

The woman in the yellow dress had already floated in front of her, and suddenly the woman opened her mouth, which was extremely wide, like a blood basin, and the angle of the upper and lower jaws was more than 180 degrees, and the beautiful facial features were accumulated into a pile of folds.

The woman's big mouth seemed to have a huge suction, and she swallowed Sister Su's body into her stomach.

Zi Su always thought that this woman in the yellow dress was a water demon elf, and she never thought that she would see her in the Yulou Spring Painting Boat yesterday.

Thinking about it carefully, yesterday's Yulou Chun's painting boat stopped at the Qinhuai River, and Miss A Xian always showed up when the painting boat docked on the shore, which seemed to be deliberately letting people know about her arrival.

Zhou Qingming, the unlucky bastard, knew that there was a beauty, so he went to meet Miss Ah Xian that night, and unfortunately, he met Zhou Jinming's ghost.

Zi Su always felt that this matter had nothing to do with Ah Xian, this Ah Xian girl was really a strange person, what was her origin?

When eating in the morning, Lan Yin actually took the initiative to talk to Zisu, and handed her chopsticks to serve the rice, which was three hundred and sixty degrees different from her previous attitude towards her.

Zi Su thought to herself, now she was more sure that the figure who was eavesdropping outside the door at night was Lan Yin, but she didn't make it clear, she just silently accepted Lan Yin's overtures.

Bicao didn't know what someone was eavesdropping on outside the window that night, and was surprised to see Lan Yin's performance, so she asked Shisu what was going on after eating.

Zi Su thought to herself, they were all Aunt Song's maids who served in the yard, if Lan Yin told Bicao about the eavesdropping, according to Bicao's temperament, she would inevitably be responsible for Lan Yin's eavesdropping, and it would be too bad for Aunt Song to make an unpleasant fuss.

Master Zhou stayed in Aunt Song's room for days, according to this situation, Aunt Song's chances of turning over are getting bigger and bigger, and a few maids in the courtyard must not make trouble at this time, so as not to leave a bad impression on Aunt Song in his heart, and Zisu's efforts will be wasted.

Zi Su smiled without explaining, and told Bi Cao not to ask too much, let alone ask Lan Yin, which made Bi Cao unhappy for a while, but fortunately, Bi Cao was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and talked and laughed with Zi Su before noon.

Master Zhou slept in Aunt Song's room until more than ten o'clock before getting up, and after returning to the study, he planned to let Zhou Chenming and Zhou Qingming go to the capital to buy a gift for the regent this time.

After a while, Zhou Chenming came to the study and told Master Zhou about Zhou Qingming's encounter with Zhou Jinming's ghost.

When Master Zhou heard that Zhou Qingming went to Qinhuai River to mess around, and encountered unclean things, he was immediately angry.

"The third child is getting more and more excessive!"

Zhou Chenming said with a smile: "After all, he is still young, it will be good to marry a wife and have children in the future, and my father must not be angry and hurt his body." ”

Master Zhou felt a little more comfortable when he heard this, thinking that he was his biological brother, Zhou Chenming didn't care about Zhou Qingming framing him, he was really broad-minded, and he became more and more the bearing of the heir of the family.

"Second child, what you said also makes sense, when I come back from the capital this time, I will find a family affair for the third child, so that he can collect his temperament. I will enter Beijing this time, and it will take at least a month to go back and forth, and you as a brother will often dial him. ”

Zhou Chenming smiled at the corner of his mouth and happily agreed.

Master Zhou asked again: "Is the third child okay now?" What happened last night, you can tell me about it. ”

Zhou Chenming said: "The third child hasn't gotten up yet, and Dr. Yu from Deshantang personally checked his pulse, saying that he was just too frightened, fell into the river and caught a cold, and he would be fine if he took two pairs of medicines." I learned about the third child's encounter with a ghost this morning, so I personally went to the Yulou Chun painting boat to ask, when the third child was drunk and smoky, and Yulou Chun was with a girl named Ah Xian. When Miss Ah Xian gave the third child sour plum soup, the third child met the soul of the eldest brother and fell into the river in fright, and the girl fainted immediately. ”

Master Zhou frowned and pondered for a long time, "If you say that there are ghosts and monsters in this world, I believe it." It's just that your eldest brother's soul how can you go back to Yulouchun to find the third child? ”

"On the day of the eldest brother's fifth and seventh day, the eldest brother's mourning hall was on fire, and Master Yuantong said that the eldest brother's soul was uneasy, and there must be a grievance. Maybe, maybe the death of the eldest brother really has something to do with the third child? ”

Zhou Chenming said steadily, while observing Master Zhou's face from time to time.

Master Zhou felt from Zhou Chenming's words that he was deliberately guiding himself and related Zhou Jinming's death to Zhou Qingming. Zhou Chenming's meaning is too clear, Master Zhou is a little disappointed in his heart, he may not be as broad-minded as he just said, these sons are all masters of acting on the spot.

These two things must not be linked together, not only what Zhou Qingming has done, but the matter has been settled, according to Zhou Chenming's intentions, investigating the cause of Zhou Jinming's death will only make the conflict between the two sons aggravated, which is not the result that Master Zhou wants.

Master Zhou didn't pick up Zhou Chenming's topic, "Has the bottom of which girl A Xian checked carefully?" I've always felt like this was a little unusual. If it's your eldest brother's soul to find the third child, why do you have to go to the Yulou Spring Painting Boat with the third child? The third child lives in the house every day, if he can't live with your eldest brother, your eldest brother is uneasy, go directly to the third child's room to find him. Besides, when this Ah Xian girl left the third child, your eldest brother's soul appeared? Could it be that your eldest brother's soul is still afraid of a Qinglou woman? ”

Zhou Chenming understood what Master Zhou meant, and he would not blame Zhou Qingming for Zhou Jinming's death, if he continued to talk about it, it would only make his father feel that he was a little aggressive.

He could only follow Master Zhou's words and replied: "That girl Ah Xian came from Hangzhou, and she was borrowed from Yulou Spring Painting Boat to carry business for a few days, and last night was the first time to receive guests. When I went to investigate, the girl had not yet gotten up, and I heard that she was scared and sick, and she kept shouting to go back to Hangzhou. ”

"That is to say, this girl is leaving Jinling? And no one knows the details of Miss Ah Xian at present? ”

"Father is wise, indeed."

Master Zhou stroked his beard and paced in the room for a long time.

"I think this Ah Xian girl is a little suspicious, when your eldest brother's soul appeared, there was no third person present, what Ah Xian girl said was what she said, and now she is arguing to be anxious, I'm afraid that this matter has nothing to do with her."

"Miss Ah Xian has never been to Jinling, and she is not familiar with our Zhou family, how can she have anything to do with this matter."

Old Man Zhou's thoughts seemed to go back to the past, and he pondered for a long time before he asked softly, "Do you remember how your eldest brother became a cripple?" ”

"When my eldest brother had an accident, I was still studying in Shanghai, but I heard my father briefly talk about it."

"At the beginning, if it wasn't for a woman of unknown origin, your eldest brother wouldn't have become a waste!"

Zhou Chenming was suspicious: "I remember that my father told me at the time that it was a monster who harmed my eldest brother like this, how could I say that it was a woman?" ”

"That's right, it's a youkai, or a female youkai, a female youkai of unknown origin. Since your eldest brother had an accident, I am afraid that the female monster will appear again to the detriment of our Zhou family, and I have told you several times not to look for a woman of unknown origin, but your brother just can't listen. Now that you are married to Tan Baoli, and you are secretly raising women outside, Tan Baoli knows, don't turn the Zhou Mansion upside down, and the third child often goes to the Qinhuai River to have fun, none of you brothers take my words to heart! ”

Hearing that Master Zhou was furious, Zhou Chenming lowered his head.

"My son knows that he is wrong, after a while, I will go to find a good home for Yudie, and live with Baoli wholeheartedly, so that you can hold your grandson as soon as possible."

When Master Zhou heard this, his anger dissipated a lot, and he said: "Then again, Tan Baoli and you have been married for three years, why haven't you moved at all?" Forget it, you can't tell Baoli about this, go back and ask your mother to ask Baoli. When I see the fifth child in the past few days, I first think of you and the third hour, and I hope that the fifth child will not be as useless as you two brothers when he grows up! ”

When he was disappointed in himself and the third brother, Master Zhou mentioned the fifth brother, which made Zhou Chenming feel a little uncomfortable.

Master Zhou instructed: "Go and check the origin of Miss A Xian again, and before you find out your life experience, you must not let her leave Jinling." ”

At noon, Zhou Chenming came back stupidly and told Master Zhou that the girl had left Jinling City and Hangzhou.

Hearing this, Master Zhou, who was originally closing his eyes and recuperating, slowly opened his eyes, "This Ah Xian girl really has a problem, what does that Ah Xian girl look like?" ”

"I heard from the mother of the painting boat, Miss Ah Xian is a first-class beauty, a fairy-like character, and the most iconic feature is that she has a cinnabar mole at the corner of her mouth."

"Say it again!" Master Zhou suddenly sat up in shock, his eyes were shining, and he stared at Zhou Chenming deadly.

Zhou Chenming somehow repeated what he had just said.

Master Zhou's body fell on his seat like a kite with a broken string, and he stroked his chest and shouted: "Go to Fuguang Temple, find Master Yuantong immediately, be quick!" The sooner the better! ”
