Xia Qing bowed his head in satisfaction, raised his eyes to look at it, pointed to one place and said, "That's good." ”

Tang Niangzi responded briskly, and hurriedly pushed the boat in the direction pointed by Xia Qing.

Xia Qing took a handkerchief to block the sun, and supported Tang Niangzi to quickly pick more than a dozen leaves, thinking that it was enough, and was about to call Tang Niangzi back, but she saw a delicate lotus flower that was slim and beautiful.

"I've picked that lotus flower too." Thinking that Tang Niangzi didn't know which one it was, Xia Qing said as she lifted a clump of weeds up to her knees at her feet and wanted to point it out to Tang Niangzi.

However, as soon as she took a step out of the weeds, her ankles were bound by something wet, soft and slippery.

"Mom!" Thinking of the most terrible thing in his mind, Xia Qing immediately screamed, the force at the ankle was tighter, and Xia Qing's knee fell to the ground with a soft "plop".

"Go away! Help......" Xia Qing kicked his legs and struggled to shout, however, the things at his ankles were tightened.

"Oops!" The Tang lady on the boat was busy propping the boat over, and shouted anxiously: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xia Qing still hugged his head and screamed: "Help......"

The boat reached the shore, Tang Niangzi jumped ashore, and ran to Xia Qing's side in three or two steps, she held Xia Qing and asked, "What's wrong, girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

"There's something! Catch me! Xia Qing pointed to his stiff calves and shouted, "Go away......"

Tang Niangzi looked over, she was stunned for a moment, and when she saw clearly that the thing that was grabbing Xia Qing's ankle was a hand, she couldn't help but "babble" and hurriedly moved over to look...... Picking up the thick grass, I saw a dirty woman lying on the ground.

"Yikes! Why is this crazy woman here...... Don't be afraid, girl, this is a person, it's a beggar woman nearby......" Tang Niangzi forcefully broke the hand that was clasped on Xia Qing's ankle, and said: "Quickly let go of the girl, you don't want to live anymore, let go of ......"

The wet touch on his feet disappeared, Xia Qing retracted his feet violently, and gasped for a few breaths before gradually calming down a little.

"Girl, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......" Tang Niangzi still comforted Xia Qing and said, "It's just a beggar mother-in-law, I accidentally bumped into the girl......"

"Really, really... Is it human? Xia Qing said with a white face.

Seeing that Xia Qing's face was not good, Tang Niangzi hurriedly stepped forward to pull the person in the grass out of his head, and casually brushed away the man's messy hair, revealing a withered yellow and oily face.

Seeing the withered yellow face, Xia Qing's eyes widened violently.

Tang Pozi slapped the beggar woman on the shoulder and reprimanded: "You crazy woman, don't you beg on the street and come here for what?" Look at you, it scared our Xia Qing girl......" Tang Niangzi looked back at the stunned Xia Qing, and then punched the beggar woman a few times, and said: "Fortunately, our Xia Qing girl is a jade-like person, too lazy to bother with filthy things like you, why don't you get away quickly......"

The beggar mother-in-law, who was already seriously ill and unconscious, was beaten by Tang Niangzi and coughed, and the weak coughing sound seemed to be closed for the next moment.

Suddenly, Xia Qing stepped forward and pushed away Tang Niangzi.

"Yikes!" Tang Niangzi, who was hesitating whether to continue beating the beggar woman a few times, was almost knocked down by Xia Qing's strength, and raised her eyes, but saw Xia Qing kneeling beside the beggar woman, shaking her hands to remove the messy hair on the beggar woman's face.

At this moment, Xia Qing looked at the sallow and rough face in front of her, but another gentle and beautiful young girl flashed in her mind...... In the snow, she was punished by her grandmother to kneel in the biting snowdrift, and the girl hurried over to rub her body for the freezing...... The cold wind was biting, and the mother took the rattan and beat her in a single dress like crazy, and the girl rushed over and hugged her without thinking...... The sun was scorching, and my father ignored her crying and was determined to sell her to a child bride, and the girl ran over again, shouting and begging for her in the house...... The person who defends her everywhere and has always protected her, the person she cares about the most in this life, the person who should have been dead for more than a year, why is he here and what he is like now......

Tang Niangzi carefully observed Xia Qing's face, she was kind-hearted, and she was afraid that Xia Qing would be angry with the beggar mother-in-law, so she said carefully: "A person like the girl jade can't worry about this dirty mother-in-law, speaking of which, this mother-in-law is also very pitiful, and it is not easy to live to this day......

"You, do you know her?" Xia Qing looked back at Tang Niangzi.

Seeing that Xia Qing's eyes seemed to be about to burn people, Tang Niangzi couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster, forced a smile, and said: "Yes, everyone around here knows this mother-in-law, she has been here with us for more than half a year, oops, it's also pitiful, I don't know what happened to my body, I suddenly appeared at the corner of the street one day, not to mention that she was very sick, and her leg was broken......"

"How can this be......" Xia Qing muttered, she turned her head to look at the beggar woman with her eyes half-open and half-closed, and wiped the side of the woman's neck with a handkerchief in her shaking hand, and soon, a small light brown scar appeared in that place...... Xia Qing was stunned, she still remembered that this scar was to protect her from being accidentally injured by her mother...... Tears couldn't help but fall, and Xia Qing called out in a hoarse voice: "Sister? ”

"Huh?" Tang Niangzi, who was present, was stunned, suspecting that she was hallucinating.

"Sister!" Xia Qing cried and shouted, she wiped the stains on the beggar woman's face, and called: "Sister Luo!" Why are you, they all say you're dead...... And Sister Luo, it's me, look at me......"

The beggar raised her hand with great difficulty, and her confused eyes called "Red Girl" and completely fainted.

……

Qing Yuan.

In the gazebo of the garden.

Weiman is holding a special charcoal pen and drawing in front of the easel.

Xia Lan, who was standing on the side, had never seen such a painting, and couldn't help but stare at the orchid that jumped out of the paper with amazement.

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound, and Xia Lan, who was fascinated by it, jumped in her heart, and when she looked at it, it turned out that the charcoal bar in Wei Man's hand was broken, and she hurriedly took two steps forward to present a new charcoal bar.

Wei Man sighed in a low voice, and did not take the charcoal bar in Xia Lan's hand.

Xia Lan glanced at Wei Man's face, hurriedly put down the things in her hand, stepped forward with the basin of water on the side, and said, "Miss has been painting all morning, I think I'm tired, it's time to rest." ”

After waiting for Wei Manjing to pass his hand, Xia Lan handed over the handkerchief again, and said, "The slave has never seen a painting like Miss like this, it's so beautiful......"

Wei Man put down the veil a little irritably, and asked, "Where are Mother Cheng and Ta Ge now?" ”

Xia Lan raised her eyes and looked at the sky, and replied, "Counting the hours, Mother Cheng and Sister Tage should have just entered the city." Seeing that Wei Man's face was pale, he added: "Miss rest assured, with Cheng's mother and Sister Ta Ge here, I guarantee that everything that happens in the house will be investigated clearly, and the things that Miss told them will definitely be done......"

After listening to Xia Lan's words, the sadness on Wei Man's face did not dissipate, and he asked instead: "You said, if I send the greeting post to the third master of Yue to General Wei Juewei's mansion, is this a bit rude......

"Huh!?" Xia Lan's face was full of surprise, and she said puzzledly: "General Wei Juewei? This...... Didn't Miss want to ask to see Yue Sanye? Why did you send the post to General Wei's mansion? ”

"This ......" Wei Man paused, but he didn't explain, that night, Wei Man and Liu Ranzhi's conversation was unknown to no one else.

On weekdays, the maids who are on night duty outside are very alert, but whenever Wei Man turns over, they will know, but that night Wei Man and Liu Ranzhi talked for a long time in the room, but Xia Lan, who was on duty at night, was unaware...... Wei Man knew that Liu Ranzhi must have used some means in advance to make this happen......

Seeing that Wei Man didn't say anything, Xia Lan said tentatively: "Could it be that the third master of Yue and General Wei are on good terms?" Miss's post has been handed out for several days, and there has been no news from the Fuguo Mansion and the Fuguo General's Mansion, could it be that Yue Sanye is not in the Shen Mansion but in the Wei General's Mansion? But...... How did the relationship between the third master of Yue and General Wei know, the slave maid had never heard of it......"

yes, how did she know?

It can't be said that it was guessed after visiting the general's mansion at night......

Slowly sat down, thought for a moment, and then asked again, "Hasn't Liu Gongzi come back yet?" ”

Xia Lan shook her head and said, "The slave maid just went to the guest room where Liu Gongzi lived not long ago, and the bed seemed to have not been moved. ”

"Hey!" Wei Man let out a long sigh, thinking to herself, she couldn't wait any longer, and if she delayed any longer, maybe Nanliu wouldn't be able to support it...... His eyes froze, as if he had finally made up his mind, and Wei Man said, "Xia Lan, you go and call Chang ......."

"Miss, Miss......"

A sudden exclamation interrupted Wei Man's words.

Wei Man and Xia Lan are both looking for prestige.

On the corridor, Xia Qing, whose hair was loose and looked panicked, ran over in a panic.

"Yikes!" Xia Lan said in surprise: "It's Sister Xia Qing!" What's going on, what's going on......"

Xia Lan took a step forward, naturally stopped in front of Wei Man, and asked Xia Qing, who had already run into the pavilion, "Sister Xia Qing, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Miss......" Xia Qing "Plop!" He knelt in front of Wei Man with a sound, and said, "Sister Heluo, please save Sister Heluo, save Sister Heluo, save Sister Heluo......"

"And Luo?" Wei Man whispered softly in his mouth, feeling that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while, so he couldn't help but ask Xia Qingdao: "Who is this Heluo in your mouth?" ”

Xia Qing was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly stepped forward and walked forward, and said anxiously: "It's Miss, your maid, the eldest maid and Luo who served Miss, and the maid and Luo who used to be Miss's favorite!" ”

Former servants...... and Luo ......

And Rowe!

That dead Kazuro!!

The cheerful and laughing fish by the river!!

Wei Man leaned over and grabbed Xia Qing's shoulder, and said sharply: "Say it clearly, what does it mean to save and Luo?" Could it be that she is still alive with Luo!! ”
