Xie Ci returned home, and when he had prepared food for his grandmother, he watched her take another medicine, and then decoction of new medicine, and the moon had risen above the treetops.

Xie Ci settled his grandmother to sleep, lay down on the bed, turned off the lights but did not fall asleep, looking at the dark ceiling.

The fatigue on my body is okay for the time being, but the doubts in my heart can't be solved like a mess.

Pan He, a businessman from another place who disappeared inexplicably, Ding Jia of Pan He's family who was hurriedly buried in Guanyin Mountain but was poisoned to death, Ding Yi of Pan He's family who was killed and then thrown away in a fire to destroy the corpse, plus the deceased today.

One is missing and four are dead.

All four of the dead died in the same way, and it seemed as if the same person had done it, but there was always something wrong......

There is also the girl of the Xue family, who once had a relationship with her on the second floor of the study, and the girl looks very cool, not like a person who can make up nonsense.

Xie Ci thought about Xue Zheng, and suddenly Duan Ling'er's smiling face flashed in his mind, and then remembered the eyes of Duan Ling'er and Gu Changfeng at the lantern banquet that day, and Duan Ling'er's eyes full of enthusiasm.

Xie Ci's mind flickered inexplicably, and for some reason that enthusiasm burned his heart sour.

At this point, his mind dispersed for a moment, and he felt that he could no longer condense.

He was a little irritable and fell asleep under the quilt.

The next day, Xie Ci went to the yamen to report before dawn, and then turned back home and changed into civilian clothes.

Xie Ci had just fastened his belt when he heard his grandmother shouting for dinner outside.

Grandmother Xie Ci is still confused these days, but she never forgets to get up before dawn and make breakfast for Xie Ci, and the meal is always repeated, but Xie Ci has no complaints.

Grandmother was also eating herself, and she didn't have anything to say, but somehow she suddenly stopped eating, and Zhengse thanked her: "Brother Ci, your grandfather can't come back, don't take care of me, run for your life!" ”

After hearing this kind of thing many times, I thought that my grandmother had said crazy things again, so I had to gently persuade her: "If you want to leave, you must also take your grandmother with you." ”

The grandmother was so anxious that her face turned red, and the tip of her nose sweated slightly: "Child, listen, I am not your grandmother, your grandmother is the king of Guimen, your grandfather is the old prince of Zhennan, your mother is the Yao family, and you are the eldest son of the prince of Zhennan." My old man will never come back, he must have been plotted, you are in danger at this moment, you can no longer take care of me, you yourself hurry up and run for your life! ”

Saying that, grandmother stood up and wanted to go to pack up Xie Ci's clothes, Xie Ci hurriedly got up and followed, only to see that grandmother walked to the door and suddenly her face changed, her eyes were dull, and she turned her head with a very gentle expression: "Brother Ci, your grandfather went out to get oil in the morning, why hasn't he come back yet?" ”

Xie Ci wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, helped his grandmother back and said, "I'll be back, and I'll pick up my grandfather at the door in a while." ”

Grandmother's eyes were hazy, her lips moved a few times, and she muttered: "Brother Ci, you are already ten years old, you must learn your skills hard and protect yourself." ”

The tears in Xie Ci's eyes were full of tears, and he endured it not to fall.

Xie Ci helped his grandmother sit down, only to see his grandmother holding chopsticks, staring into the void in a daze, and after a while, he turned his eyes to Xie Ci and said with tenderness: "Old man, Brother Ci ate some raw fruit this morning, and only shouted that his stomach hurts." He's not feeling well, so don't memorize the three-character scripture, a three-year-old child, let's take a day......"

The tears of thanks finally fell on the table.

Xie Qi ate a clean breakfast, cleaned the rice bowls, cleaned the table and swept the yard, sat on the edge of my grandmother's bed, and watched my grandmother drink medicine and lie down and sleep peacefully.

Then he got up, poured out the dregs of several medicine jars in the courtyard, added new medicinal materials, scooped water from the jar and put them into those medicine jars, refilled the fire with firewood and continued to boil the medicine, and when he was done, the day was completely bright.

After thanking him, he locked the courtyard door and went out of the street again.

Duan Ling'er was a guest at Xue Zheng's house at this time.

This Yangzhou gathers 120 lines of business and goods, full of 84,000 households, and Xue Zheng, the eldest girl of the Xue family, is a unique one.

Duan Ling'er had not had time to visit earlier, and this day Duan's mansion was in a mess, because of Duan Tianya's complaint against Su Yong, Xiao Su's family was clamoring to hang herself, and the eldest lady's face had not been warm since she was cold yesterday, and she was sick and bedridden.

Duan's mansion was noisy, Shen and Duan Yu went back to Guifu Village first, Duan Ling'er thought of Xue Zheng, bought dim sum cakes, and came to see her.

The two of them saw each other again, talking and laughing very harmoniously, and were laughing and laughing, Xue Zheng's mother and aunt lifted the curtain and entered the house.

Xue Zheng hurriedly stood up: "Auntie, why are you here?" Sit. ”

Duan Ling'er also stood up and saluted, and then the four of them sat down to speak.

From time to time, there are matchmakers at the outer door of Xue's house to hand over posts, and the courtyard is quiet and peach-colored. Compared with the Xue family's pond, the water is green and the wind is slightly warm, and the Su family's house next to it is very uneasy. The officers and soldiers who came in and out and the servants of the Su family, who reported the news one by one, called people, and the chaos in the Duan Mansion was not much better.

There is an inkstone on the bookcase in Xue Zheng's boudoir, a pen wash, behind the bookcase is the front bookcase, but those books have fallen into the dust, and what catches the eye is a cowhide whip, the cowhide whip is oily and slippery, and if you look carefully, you will find that the tail of the whip is rubbed very strongly.

The room is also very simple, it is rare to see those colorful daughter's things, next to the incense burner, but placed a soft sword, this soft sword provoked Ruyi to turn back frequently, and wanted to ask Xue Zheng to take a good look.

Aunt Xue Zheng picked up the tea cup, and she glanced at Duan Ling'er while drinking tea.

It seems to be a matter of wanting to speak and stopping.

Duan Ling'er saw that their mothers seemed to have something to say, so they got up and prepared to leave, but Xue Zheng's mother said, "It's okay, Miss Duan is here, you can help us persuade you, Sister Xue." ”

Xue Zheng smiled faintly: "My aunt is also here to persuade me to marry?" Say which family you like, don't beat around the bush. ”

Xue Zheng's aunt smiled: "In the past two days, the person who proposed the marriage has stepped on the door of your house, and you haven't taken a fancy to any of those young talents?" ”

Xue Zheng frowned: "Auntie, my mother is a fool, why are you confused when you have always been shrewd?" ”

Aunt Xue Zheng said curiously: "How do you say this niece?" Why is your mother confused? ”

Xue Zheng looked at her four eyes: "Auntie, don't you know that those who come to propose marriage believe in the Qinglong Protection, and they all think that marrying me will definitely be able to prosper, and it is rumored that as long as you marry me into the door, you will be able to have more children, more blessings and more longevity, wear gold and silver and straddle horses, and there are even rumors that if you marry me, you will be able to carp and jump into the dragon gate Jiazi Dengke." Those people's minds are not pure, if I really have the protection of the green dragon, it will be fine, obviously how many times have I said it, it is a false rumor, why do you all seem to not believe it? Anyway, no matter what you say, I don't want to understand any of them, I won't marry. ”

Xue Zheng's mother suddenly said angrily: "Your aunt and I don't have anything to say, I just want you to look at the reality, we are not expensive, although we have not worried about food and clothing in the past few years, but we can be fragrant every day, quench your thirst with ice drink, and there is a gilded bird stand under the corridor, and the corridor is accompanied by green-winged parrots, and there is still a gap of 108,000 miles." Don't you want to live a good life? ”

Xue Zheng is an active girl, she has excellent water nature, and she will also have some martial arts, and what she longs for the most is to be able to ride a horse on the grassland in the north, and to be able to shoot arrows on a horse.

She said indignantly: "What's so good about that kind of day? I am a canary trapped in the house, and then I raise a bird to have fun with each other, and I think it is no more comfortable than our wanton discharge and water! ”

Mother Xue was so angry that she beat her legs: "There are still people in this world who don't want to live a comfortable life and want to live a hard life in the wind and waves?" Don't be confused, your father can't give you that kind of day, but if you find a good husband, you can live a peaceful life! ”

Xue Zheng didn't speak, but his face was full of unhappiness.

Aunt Xue Zheng said: "Niece, although you are not too old this year, but the days can pass very quickly, three years in a row, if you have this temperament to delay again and again, until eighteen or nineteen or twenty, no one can afford to drag it out." ”

Mother Xue nodded and said, "Your father and I are not in a hurry to marry a daughter, but do you really want to live your life in that row like your father and me?" ”

Xue Zheng shook his handkerchief and replied angrily: "What about living a life? ”

Xue Zheng's mother suddenly turned pale with anger, she stood up and poured the basin of water placed next to the door into the courtyard. Xue Zheng's mother crossed her waist, looked at the blue sky, and gasped for a while before she calmed down and came back to sit down.

looked at his daughter and snorted coldly: "That dare is good." I have a daughter to serve until I die, but what about you? You're old, and you don't even have someone to support each other! An unmarried woman lives alone in this rich wolf world, how many people want to beat your idea? Bullying you and bullying you, how will you let me close my eyes with your father when the time comes?! ”

Xue Zheng listened to his mother's more and more serious words, and couldn't help crying angrily.

Mother Xue was so angry that she gasped a few times and said: "Let's talk about the Cui family who is also on Caoyun, the Cui family fled from Shaanxi ten years ago, and his daughter should not marry in a disaster year, but when she comes to Yangzhou, she can find relatives." The Cui family has no foundation, and always wants to find a safe one for their daughter, but they have been waiting for six or seven years, and now they are in their twenties, and no one wants her to be the lady of the main house. Finally, the youngest son of the butcher's family was decided last year, and he said to marry this year, and he said to marry next year, but he didn't marry in the end. I can't let you follow her old path! ”
