Chapter 197: Liu's Lingering Garden (4)
The officials of the yamen came and went, and they were in a hurry.
After several inquiries and inspections, the government confirmed that Liu Chengxu, the young director of the Lingering Garden, locked the door of the house and committed suicide with poison in the house.
Liu Chengxu has never liked to call people, he is a person who does not want to enter, and the boys who serve the flowers and plants have always been respectful of the purple red building where he lives, and no one dares to approach.
What's more, these boys toiled hard every day, alternating day and night, in an orderly manner, and no one had the motive or time to harm him.
The owner of the Lingering Garden, Mr. Liu, has passed away not long ago.
Liu Chengxu's wife Han has been away from home for a long time, and she only came back on the day of the incident, and everyone watched.
She is a woman, she doesn't know martial arts, she doesn't have the ability to climb over walls, and it must be impossible to bypass these many pairs of eyes in the garden and outside the garden to come back and murder her husband.
Therefore, this case can be regarded as a final conclusion.
Liu Chengxu was soon buried in a wooden coffin, just waiting for the auspicious day to be buried.
Youwei, Wen Cang, and Yu Yao originally came to seek medical advice, but they suddenly encountered such an unexpected thing, which can be said to be neither leaving nor staying.
Han's family is a woman's family, her father-in-law just died earlier, and now her husband has also died, the sky is pitiful, Youwei and others can't help but feel unbearable, so they stop in the lingering garden for a long time.
Until everything settled, Youwei thought that this time she visited the Lingering Garden for Wen Cang's poisoning, but she returned in vain, and Wen Cang's body was afraid that it would not last long.
Thinking of this, Youwei's heart couldn't help but be cut like a knife.
Yu Yao and Wen Cang saw that she stood silent for a long time, knowing that she was sad because of the poison in Wen Cang's body.
Yu Yao approached Youwei and said, "It's not too early, why don't we say goodbye to the young lady and go back to the inn to rest." ”
Wen Cang also comforted her and said: "I have heard that the outstanding people of Dali are picturesque, and now even if they can't be cured, they can play around, but I wish." ”
Youwei raised her head slightly, looked at Wen Cang, and then at Yu Yao, still silent.
Yu Yao took the two of them into Liu Chengxu's mourning hall and said softly to Han: "Young lady, it's time to say goodbye after we have been bothering for a long time, and please ask the young lady to mourn by the way." ”
Han's is dressed without makeup, and the whole person is very haggard and bland.
When she saw Yu Yao say this, she first covered her face with wide sleeves, quietly wiped away the tears, and then said, "But this Wen Gongzi looks seriously ill, how are you going to treat it?" ”
Wen Cang smiled indifferently and said, "Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." Even if you force it, it's useless. ”
Han lowered his eyebrows, raised his head after a while, and said earnestly: "I am shallow, and I can't be sure, but if you can trust me, it is better to stay, and when I finish taking care of my husband's affairs, I will find a way to remove poison for Gongzi Wen." ”
Youwei was overjoyed and said, "Could it be that young lady, you are also well versed in the toxicity and pharmacology of mandala flowers?" ”
Han Shi nodded and said, "Although it is not as diligent as the real owner of the Lingering Garden, I have been exposed to it for many years, and I can be regarded as knowing a little bit about it." To tell you the truth, my mother died early, so I went to the Lingering Garden since I was a child, and I married my late husband when I became an adult, so my days are not short. ”
Although no one of Han Daorong's descendants can compare with their ancestors in terms of reputation, they are not unknown, whether it is Yu Yao or Wen Cang, they have never heard that Han Daorong also has a daughter, who married into the Liu family outside Jianchang City in Dali since she was a child and became a child daughter-in-law.
But the painting hanging on the wall is indeed Han Daorong's authentic handiwork.
The person in the painting is also very similar to Han's, and should be her mother.
I'm afraid there is some unknown origin behind this matter.
But since the Han family intends to help, Youwei and the others are very happy.
Youwei said to Han: "The young lady's kindness must be remembered in our hearts. ”
Han said: "Miss Yu doesn't have to be polite. However, there is no one to serve in the Lingering Garden, but I am afraid that I will be wronged. Walking south from here, there is a water pavilion, called Wanqian Xiaozhu, during which there are several rooms, which are vacant all year round. If you don't dislike it, go and rest for a few days, and then discuss it when I finish taking care of my husband's affairs. ”
Youwei said: "What does it matter if no one serves, we have hands and feet, will we still starve to death?" The young lady can rest assured that we can afford to wait for a few days. ”
Han nodded, summoned a little boy, ordered him to lead the way, and took Youwei, Wen Cang, and Yu Yao to thousands of small buildings.
On the way, Wen Cang rarely opened his mouth and said: "Why is the name of the pavilion in this lingering garden so strange? ”
Yu Yao said: "Strange? How so? ”
Wen Cang shook his head and said, "It's nothing, maybe Dali is different from the Central Plains." ”
Youwei was helping Wen Cang forward, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother, he is talking about the Zihong Mansion where Liu Chengxu lives and the thousands of small buildings we are going to, which are not elegant and have no allusions. ”
Yu Yao smiled and said nothing.
Wen Cang was confused and asked, "What are you two laughing at?" ”
Youwei smiled and said, "Laugh at you!" ”
Wen Cang said: "I, what am I ridiculous about? ”
Youwei said: "Laugh, you even forgot the four words "Wan Zi Qianhong." ”
Wen Cang was stunned: "Ten thousand purples and thousands of reds? It turned out to be this famous hall? ”
Youwei said faintly: "Isn't it?" ”
It's an understatement to humiliate people's IQ......
Yu Yao was afraid that the atmosphere would be too embarrassing, and he was also afraid that this girl would not be able to marry in the future, but fortunately, Wen Cang was a generous character, so he should not hold grudges...... But he still played a round and said: "The people in this garden are in the company of mandala flowers all day long, and it is very appropriate to take the meaning of thousands of purples and thousands of reds." ”
Youwei understood, and also saved: "Although it can't be considered inappropriate, it's too stupid, if it is replaced by Wanzi Building, wouldn't it be more appropriate for Qianhong Xiao to build it?" ”
Wen Cang glanced at Youwei with a smile and said, "You are right. ”
Yu Yao suddenly looked back and felt that Fang Cai seemed to be thinking too much......
After a short time, the three of them followed the boy who led the way and approached thousands of small buildings.
I saw that the pavilions and pavilions protruded from the revetment, and the pillars were erected on the water, and the roof of the mountain was rolled up, and the face was three rooms wide, and the whole was rectangular.
Half of it is near the water, half of it is against the shore, and the layers of spacious platforms fall and float on the water, which is very interesting.
A winding path of mandala flowers leads to a doorway at the back of the pavilion, where a low foyer leads into a three-bay hall divided by openwork glass.
Naturally, there are several famous species of mandala flowers on the glass, none of which are ordinary.
After the little boy brought the three of them into the hall, he took his leave.
Youwei looked around, only to see that this side of the water pavilion in the corner of the pond is a corner of the corner, and the surrounding is full of flowers and trees, so that most of the water pavilion is hidden in the green trees and flowers, and the exposed part is not too obvious, it can be said that it is natural and ingenious.
Yu Yao dusted off the dust on his front placket, calmly sat on the flying chair near the water, and said: "This place is very quiet, and it is very suitable for recuperation, at least it is much better than the noisy inn." ”
Wen Cang also rested by the railing of the stool and said, "For today's plan, I can only settle down here first." ”
Yu Yao's eyes also followed Youwei to look around, and said: "Although this place is not as noble as the ancestral house in my capital, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is really a good house." If you can live here for a long time and spend time, you will not live up to this life. ”
Youwei turned back to the two of him and said, "I think this water pavilion is a little familiar, it looks like the boat building where the predecessors of Linglong Mountain Willow lived!" However, Linglong Mountain is full of hidden passages, and even the boat building is connected to the official road outside. We don't know what this place is famous for. ”
Wen Cang thought deeply and echoed: "It is indeed somewhat similar. ”
Yu Yao leaned down deeply and said with a smile: "If you come, you will be safe." You might as well sleep well today, it shouldn't be tight. ”
After hearing this, Youwei obediently sat beside Wen Cang, looking at the edge of the pool, the swans crossed their necks, and the mandarin ducks played in the water.
A trace of cool evening breeze blew, and she felt a long-lost joy in her heart.
