"Jin Qi'er, how is your relationship with that Xiaojing next to Miss Biao?"

"Miss Hui's words, this Xiaojing doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic with the people in the whole house, she usually doesn't like to laugh with everyone, she doesn't show up much, and she is inconspicuous with her master." Jin Qi'er said quickly.

Ahem! The silver pendant gave her a blank look.

Jin Qi'er pursed her lips, not daring to say more.

Seeing this, Gui Mingyue also knew that she couldn't indulge the girl anymore. also said in a cold tone, and said solemnly: "Our master and servant are out of the house, no more than in their own home, the most important thing is to pay attention to words and deeds. If you can't remember, if you don't correct your attitude, and if you get into trouble, I won't be able to keep you anymore. ”

Jin Qi'er looked at the young lady who had always been tolerant of her, and this time she was really angry, so frightened that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Miss, the slave maid will never dare again, and she will stop talking nonsense in the future, please don't be a slave." ”

The Yu Mansion has been quite quiet these days, and Yu Hongbo has gradually found clues about Liu Yiming, and Yu Qianqian's maid Xiaojing is still like an iron wall, and she can't inquire about the slightest rumor.

On this day, breakfast was served.

"Let's go, let's go to Miss Table's yard." Gui Mingyue cleaned up a little and asked Yinshen'er to prepare a gift.

I couldn't hear anything from the side knocks, so I simply approached them directly.

Yu's shallow courtyard is not big, but it is also empty, and it can't help but feel a little depressed in this winter.

Seeing the arrival of Gui Mingyue, Yu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and quickly glanced at Xiaojing beside her, who gave her a tacit look, and then unnaturally lowered her blessing and said in a low voice: "The slave maid went to make tea for Miss Yue." After speaking, he glanced at Yu Qianqian almost invisibly, as if there was a warning.

Gui Mingyue observed all this without moving, and when she saw Xiaojing go out, she lowered her head and said a few words to Yinshen'er, Yinsheng'er took out the gift box in her hand, and she confessed to Yu Qianqian, saying that she would go back and get a cloak for her own lady.

Yu Qianqian took the box and spoke: "I don't know if my cousin came to find Qianqian, what is the so-called matter?" "The tone is gentle, but not necessarily welcoming.

Gui Mingyue smiled and said: "It's nothing important, it's just that I've been in this mansion for a long time, and I'm a little bored, I want to see if my cousin has time to take me out for a spin." ”

Yu Qianqian's eyes moved slightly, and he said a good word quietly, and then went to the inner room to change clothes and prepare. When I came back, I saw Gui Mingyue lazily supporting her forehead, and the little maid beside her was meticulously boiling tea beside her.

Seeing her come back, Gui Mingyue said apologetically, "I'm really thirsty after breakfast, if my cousin is not in a hurry, please have a drink." This maid still has some skills in making tea. ”

Yu Qianqian's face tightened when he heard this, and he looked out of the door, the maid who said that he was going to make tea had not come back yet.

"Cousin, this maid is called Xiaojing?" Gui Mingyue took a sip of tea lightly and asked leisurely.

As soon as Yu Qianqian heard her mention the girl, a sense of vigilance immediately appeared in her eyes, and she blurted out, "How did my cousin know?" ”

Oh, there are so many maids in this house, and this Xiaojing is not a noble and mysterious person, so what's the big deal about knowing a name.

Yu Qianqian saw Gui Mingyue's funny eyes, and realized that he had overreacted.

"That's not what I meant...... It's just that this maid has a wooden temperament, is not good at socializing, and she doesn't stand out much in the past. I didn't expect my cousin to recognize her. Yu smiled lightly and rounded the words: "Let's go, I'll go out with my cousin, my cousin hasn't taken a good look at this Jiangling Mansion when she comes, right?" ”

Along the way, Yu Qianqian changed his coldness and alienation in the morning, turned left with Gui Mingyue, and went shopping, and the two cousins had a good time. Gui Mingyue also gave the two of them some local silk in Jinling and some rouge gouache gadgets for each of them.

It wasn't until noon that they walked into a small teahouse, asked for a pot of good tea, and ordered a few plates of snacks.

While eating, Xiaojing walked in, blessed Mingyue, and then said to Yu Qianqian with a smile: "When the slave went back to make tea, I didn't see Miss and Miss Biao, so I searched for Jiangling City anxiously all morning, but I found Miss You." Why didn't the young lady come out with the slave and maid? Let the slave and maid be in a hurry. ”

When Yu Qianqian saw her come in, her face was a little stiff, and she returned to normal in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "You girl, I have been making tea for a long time, and my cousin and I are both thirsty and have smoke in our throats, and I don't see you coming, so you complain about me." ”

Looking at the two masters and servants acting with each word, Gui Mingyue felt very interesting, when this Xiaojing came in, there was no trace of anxiety on her face with a calm attitude, and she looked like she had been looking for a morning. Gui Mingyue looked up at Jin Qi'er, this maid didn't notice at all, and listened to the storyteller in the teahouse talking silly while talking, Gui Mingyue couldn't help crying and laughing.

"Cousin, let's go back." Gui Mingyue proposed.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's only been a long day, let's go to Lingyin Temple to worship after a while." I didn't expect Yu Qianqian's energy to be so vigorous as soon as he came out.

"It's fine." Gui Mingyue quietly agreed.

Lingyin Temple is located on the top of the turtle back mountain in the western suburbs of Gangneung Province, and it took nearly two hours to get down the mountain by carriage, and then walked down the steps from the mountain for half an hour.

When I arrived at Lingyin Temple, it was already sunset, and the sky was dark.

After worshipping the Bodhisattva, Gui Mingyue found a place where no one was, and asked anxiously, "Is there any news from Yinshen'er?" ”

Jin Qi'er hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, when you set off, Yinshen'er secretly contacted the slave and maid, saying that this Xiaojing secretly met with Young Master Yu Hongji before this...... Let Miss be careful. ”

Gui Mingyue nodded, this girl looks very aggressive, but she is not ambiguous when she does things at a critical moment.

"Is Cousin Hong Bo back?"

Yin Shen'er said that she was waiting for the young master to come back in the house, and then came to pick up the young lady. In case of...... If the young master didn't come back, she reported to the official! Jin Qi'er tightened her cloak and said.

"Can't report to the official! At the moment, I don't know what kind of tricks they play, and the report will startle the snake. ”

"Miss, it doesn't matter if he is frightened or not, your life is the most important thing." Although I don't know what this Xiaojing and Miss Biao want, as long as there is a slight threat to Miss, it will be too late.

When I thought about this kind of thing, I couldn't help but complain: "Miss, why did you follow Miss Cousin to the wilderness, how dangerous it is." ”

"Your young lady can't get into the tiger's den, but you can't get the tiger!" Gui Mingyue smiled and comforted.

"Miss Cousin, the carriage is waiting at the bottom of the mountain, let's go back." Xiaojing came to report.

It was getting dark, and the mountain road was rough and difficult to walk.

"Oops!" Yu Qianqian accidentally hit his foot and gasped in pain.

Xiaojing hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said, "It's dark Miss, we have to leave quickly, you just bear with it." As he spoke, he half-supported and half-dragged Yu Qianqian and walked down, and Yu Qianqian could only endure the pain and continue to move down a little bit.

Gui Mingyue, who was walking in front, saw this and scolded sharply: "Didn't you see that your young lady hurt her foot, you can only aggravate the injury by dragging like this, and don't carry your young lady on her back!" Hurry up. "Yu Qianqian is thin and petite, but Xiaojing is a sturdy girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and Yu Qianqian should have no effort on her back.

Xiaojing reluctantly had to carry Yu Qianqian.

In the darkness, Yu's shallow eyes flickered, but then they returned to a dead silence of indifference.

The carriage galloped on the path back to the city, and it was necessary to meet Yufu before closing the city gate, otherwise the carriage would be full of female dependents, and it would be quite dangerous in this place where there was no village and no shop.

"Stop, stop" Walking to a deserted place, Yu Qianqian suddenly opened his mouth and muttered: "Cousin, I want to get out of the car and relieve ......" The eyes seemed to be shy, but they were dodging.

"Oh? Then I'll ...... with you."

"No need, Miss Cousin, it's dark outside, you wait in the car, Miss and I will come." Xiao Jing, who kept looking at the carriage all the way, suddenly interrupted Gui Mingyue's words.

"Let's go together!" Gui Mingyue got up and got out of the car.

Xiaojing looked at Yu Qianqian with an ugly face, and Yu Qianqian had to say, "It's okay." ”

Yu Qianqian slowly flashed out of the bushes.

"Cousin, get in the car," Yu said softly.

Jin Qi'er didn't doubt him, and helped Gui Mingyue to get into the car. Just as she was about to reach out to pull Yu Qianqian, the latter shook off her hand and took a few steps back with a sneer.

"You!" Before he could finish speaking, he heard the coachman raise his whip, and the carriage jumped up quickly.

Gui Mingyue, who had just sat down, was shaken to the ground, and it took a long time to sit down, with the galloping carriage, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and he looked at Yu Qianqian, who was standing in place with a cold face, and the corners of the latter's slightly raised mouth were too late to put away, and he was so shocked by the sharpness in Gui Mingyue's eyes that he quickly lowered his eyes.

How dare she! How dare she! The coldness in Gui Mingyue's eyes deepened.

Half an hour later, Yu Qianqian sat in place and looked at the dark path in a daze. Xiaojing next to her changed her respect in front of people, looked at her with disdain, and said, "Miss's heart is really vicious, even her own cousin has been betrayed, tsk." ”

Before Xiaojing's words fell, Yu Qianqian picked up a sharp stone, slapped it on her head, and a stream of blood flowed down instantly.

"Ahh Blood...... How dare you hit me! Xiaojing was frightened and angry, and was about to rush over and tear it.

Yu Qianqian's eyes stared at her frantically and fiercely, and the stone in his hand slapped his forehead with a "snap", and the blood suddenly covered her pale little face.

"You...... You're crazy. Xiaojing was so shocked by her series of ruthless and fast movements that she didn't dare to take a breath.

After Yu Qianqian did all this, he sat down on the stone and looked into the distance motionlessly.

There was a carriage in the distance that was coming in a hurry, Yu Hongze, the eldest young master of the Yu family, got out of the car and was startled when he saw Yu Qianqian, whose face was covered with blood, and asked anxiously while carrying her into the carriage: "Where is Sister Yue'er?" Didn't she come out with you, why are you two the only ones here? ”

Removing the gloom and resentment in his eyes, Yu Qianqian sobbed and cried, and said intermittently: "It's all because of Qianqian, my cousin was kidnapped by gangsters, blame me for not protecting my cousin, woo." As he spoke, he wiped the blood from his face with his hands.

"Hey, how can you be a weak woman to withstand that villain, don't cry." Yu Hongze comforted lightly and said, "Don't worry, Bo Ge'er will definitely find Sister Yue'er." ”

Second brother? He also came out.

Seeing that the always gentle eldest brother Yu Hongze frowned at this time, Yu Qianqian was a little nervous, and asked tentatively: "How did the eldest brother know that we were in danger, and how did we come here?" ”

"Oh, it was Bo Goer who sent someone to inform me and asked me to look for you along the road from the west of the city to Lingyin Temple, but I didn't have time to explain the specific reason." Yu Hongze didn't want to blurt it out.

Yu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly frowned again, so how did the second brother know about this?

This matter is done secretly, although Yu Hongji in the second room has long coveted Gui Mingyue, but he has been suffering from no chance, and today Gui Mingyue came to find himself to go out of the house to play, which is giving Yu Hongji such an opportunity. Xiaojing also got Yu Hongji's order to go to the teahouse at noon and instruct Yu Qianqian to take Gui Mingyue to the carriage to the west of the city.

And the horseman has already been replaced by Yu Hongji's people.
