Ah Li listened intently, and faintly heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching here.

She has not practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she is not as keen as Ah Ying and them, and she listened quietly for a moment before she was able to judge: "Girl, it sounds like there are two or three people." ”

Zhang Meishou nodded when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the wide open window lattice.

The only person she could think of who would come here to see her at this time was her uncle.

After a few more moments, the sound of footsteps came to her ears clearly. Looking out through the carved window, the person who entered the courtyard, with two servants behind him, wearing royal blue round-necked robes and a delicate and small gold abacus hanging from his waist, was indeed Song Ju.

Zhang Meishou stood up and took Ah Li to the outer hall.

"Uncle." She bowed.

"Our Song family doesn't pay so much attention to it, and these false courtesies are waived in private." Facing the only niece, Song Ju's tone was still gentle, but the gloom in his eyes could not be completely hidden at this time, he sat down and pointed to the chair opposite: "Let's sit and talk." ”

Zhang Meishou didn't say much, answered "yes", and sat down in the position of the head of the head opposite him.

Ah Ying retreated to make tea, and the two servants brought by Song Ju also went to guard outside the courtyard.

"How used are you staying these days? Is the illness better? Song Ju asked with concern.

He intended to let his niece move to the former yard, but the child refused to agree, so he said that he really didn't need to disturb too many people.

He couldn't be reluctant, so he secretly instructed a credible subordinate mother-in-law to take more care of him.

"Everything is fine, the illness is almost cured, Uncle Lao is worried about me." The girl's demeanor is serious and soft.

Song Ju only felt very soft in his heart.

What a good child.

It's a pity that I'm going to marry into the royal family...... Every time he thought of this, he felt worried and unbearable.

But the elder sister, who has always loved this girl very much, said that although worry is to be worried, it is not necessary to bear it, just because there is no reluctance in it.

"Is there something wrong with my uncle looking for me?" Zhang Meishou asked, and then took the initiative to say: "Ah Li is a person I can trust, and my uncle has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Song Ju came back to his senses and nodded slightly.

"When I sent your grandfather back to rest, he had many things on his mind, so he told me to ask the healer—your aunt and she...... What's going on today? ”

There are no real stupid people in the Song family, and when they heard the name of the Gu worm called "Hundred Days Gu", there was little speculation in their hearts.

It's just that in front of Song Jinniang, he didn't ask in detail.

And he found out that the dumb woman was not in the courtyard of the elder sister, nor was she in the residence arranged for him by the Song family, so he found his niece here.

"I've asked the dumb woman." Zhang Meishou glanced at the inner room, and did not rush to answer, but asked, "Uncle still remember when my aunt was sick?" ”

"It should be at the end of the first month, the beginning of February. At first, it was just a headache and fatigue, but after half a month, it was gradually difficult to get out of bed. ”

"That's it......" Zhang Meishou said in a low voice: "This Gu often takes people's lives in about a hundred days, and the dumb woman just informed me that my aunt's condition at this time is very bad." ”

She didn't want to hide this from her uncle.

"It's really a hundred days?!"

Song Ju heard this accurate sentence, and almost couldn't sit still.

Today is the seventh day of the fifth month...... He had already calculated more than once in his mind when he came, and now there were only a few days left before the so-called 100-day period.

Let's say it's a hundred days, but there is still a sentence "before and after", if it is "before"......

Song Ju didn't dare to think about it anymore.

But he subconsciously said, "Zhenzhen, as far as you know—"

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the inner room.

To put it bluntly, he didn't disbelieve the Gu poison theory, but it was the first time he had come into contact with it so closely, and it was impossible to believe it all based on a few words from others.

Although he didn't finish speaking, Zhang Meishou also understood.

"Uncle doesn't have to tell my grandfather the truth." She said.

My grandfather seems to be calm and calm, but his age and body are there, and if he tells the truth, I am afraid it will be unbearable.

Song gathered his head.

That's what he thinks too.

In the next moment, I heard the girl's voice of Qing Lingling say: "And if you say the truth or falsehood of this Gu poison, if your uncle wants to confirm it, you might as well go to a place with me tonight." ”

Song Ju was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"Where?"

"Jinqingju."

Song Ju was even more stunned.

Jinqingju ...... Isn't that Sister A's yard?

He's going to be confused.

At this time, I heard the girl say again: "Uncle, now the affairs of the family are unknown, and I don't know who is going to kill my aunt - today's events and what I have heard, it is better to only keep it in my heart, and it is not appropriate for too many people to know." ”

Song Ju was silent for a moment.

Shouldn't he have told his niece in reverse?

Looking at the little girl sitting in the chair, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows seemed to be full of rigor and meticulousness, Song Ju always felt that something was strange.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that the girl is different from the son, and he lacks the experience of raising a daughter to get along with the girl, so it should be normal to feel a little strange.

But still nodded: "It's nature." If you are not here today, there is no need to say more for the time being. ”

With Wu's experience in the affairs of the shopkeeper, he must be more cautious.

Zhang Meishou didn't give much advice, and finally said: "It's a little cold at night, when my uncle goes tonight, remember to wear an extra shirt." ”

Song Ju felt warm in his heart when he heard it.

If the girl is a little padded jacket, then the niece is also his little shoulder no matter how much she says.

The sons don't have this kind of care on weekdays.

But he has always been burly and healthy, and in this May day, how can he wear any clothes at night?

This is simply questioning his strength and might.

However, in the evening, before going out, after thinking about it, I still asked someone to take a coat.

cough, after all, his niece has confessed, if he doesn't bring it, he seems to be disdainful of the child's concern.

Song Ju cherishes this concern from Xiao Kan'er that is difficult to experience on weekdays.

Seeing this, Yu Shi was slightly stunned.

"Didn't you say to go to Sister A? What, are you going out right now? ”

And even when he went out, there was no wind tonight, and there was no coolness, and he had never seen him add clothes before.

"It's going to Sister A." Song Ju said to her: "You don't have to wait for me, just rest early." ”

Hearing this, Yu had no choice but to nod and watch him out of the room.

……

As the night deepened, most of the lights in Jinqing's house were extinguished, and only a few lamps were left in the hall and under the eaves.

The maids also retreated to rest, leaving only two vigils.

The Song family wanted to rest here at night, so someone cleaned up the room next to Song Jinniang.

"Let's rest early, I'll go back first." Song Ju saw that the hour was almost up, so he said to Song and got up from the chair.
