The lake of the General's Mansion is not small, spanning the inner and outer gardens, and a water pavilion was built by the lake at the end of the outer garden. The water pavilion is not far from the polo field, and you can clearly hear the drums and cheers in the polo field from sitting inside. Zhang Yi was sitting against the window, holding a lotus leaf cup in her hand, slowly pouring the wine in the lotus leaf cup into the wine jug, and then pouring the wine in the wine jug into the lotus leaf cup.

There was a sudden stormy drum sound on the polo field, which frightened his hands and the wine spilled and soaked his plain robe. "Bad luck!" Zhang Yizheng threw away the wine glass in disgust, and the boy who was standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward to wipe his robe for him. Someone knocked lightly on the door outside, and Zhang Yizheng said with a little irritation: "Come in!" ”

A young man in Tsing Yi walked in quickly with his head bowed and knelt down in front of him. Zhang Yizheng glanced faintly at the little boy standing on the side, the little boy bent down with his crossed hands, quietly fell out, and carefully closed the door.

Zhang Yizheng said lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

The little girl in Tsing Yi said in a low voice: "Third master, the Zhao family is all gone, and it has not alarmed anyone. With that, he carefully offered a purse in both hands.

Zhang Yi was about to reach out to pick it up, but the little man in Tsing Yi was a little frightened and pleaded: "The third master is the body of ten thousand gold......

Zhang Yizheng didn't insist anymore, he carefully opened the purse with his hand, and before he could see the black glass bottle inside, a garlic smell came to his face, so that he frowned sharply and turned his head sideways, withdrew his hand and sat back, with a little disbelief: "That's it?" Does it work? ”

The little guy said: "It's been tried and tested. ”

"Master, I'm waiting to see you show your loyalty." Zhang Yizheng touched his chin and smiled evilly, "Don't make a big deal about it, otherwise I won't be able to protect you." ”

"Third master, rest assured." The little guy carefully took the purse, looked at him with some hesitation, as if he had something to ask, but after all, he didn't ask, and quietly withdrew.

The door was gently closed, the light in the room suddenly dimmed, Zhang Yizheng smiled, his eyes looked at the dazzling white sunlight outside the window, and there was no joy on his face.

From the polo field to the west, about a cup of tea, there is a small courtyard scenery that is different from others. Under the corridor of the courtyard wall, there are green vines crawling everywhere, at this time it is in full bloom, the flowers are divided into two colors, and the white and purple flower spikes are densely hung with branches, which is very quiet and beautiful. Under the eaves hung a row of birdcages, in which parrots, starlings, thrushes, and orioles of all colors were either combed with their feet on their sides, or sang merrily, or snorted with their heads bowed. Compared with the heat outside, this place is quiet and cool, but it is a rich and pure place in the world.

Lan Yu introduced Brother and Sister Xu Ying into the room, and when she saw Brother Li's big black eyes and looking around curiously, she smiled and said, "Third lady, this is our grandmother's favorite place. When I come to this village on weekdays, I always rest here. If you like these finches, the servant has brought you corn. ”

Brother Li couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay." Yan Yan was a little ashamed: "Second sister, I said that I came to take care of you, how could I just patronize and play." ”

Brother Ying couldn't help but smile: "I'm fine, how do I take care of it?" Isn't there still green jade? It's hard to come out and you're playing with yours. ”

Brother Li cheered, and ran to the bottom of the cage to see the birds, and a little girl who was in charge of raising birds had already filled the glass cup with corn and came to feed the birds with her. Brother Xu Ying instructed her personal girl Ziyu: "Take care of the third lady." After that, let the nurse hug Xu Xu, who was already asleep, and went into the house with her.

Xu Xue was put on the bed by the nurse, and couldn't help frowning and woke up, and everyone in the room didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of waking him up. He tossed and turned twice, but finally woke up, stunned to see the person in front of him, and couldn't help grinning: "Second sister." Then he leaned his ear and listened: "Huh! There are birds! ”

Seeing that he seemed to be getting more and more energetic, Brother Xu Ying hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and patted him on the back, and coaxed in a low voice: "Shh...... Let's not talk, can we sleep? ”

Xu Xue obediently closed his eyes again and gradually fell asleep.

The nurse stepped forward to take Brother Xu Ying's place, and said with a smile and in a low voice: "The second lady is going to rest." ”

Brother Xu Ying is not a delicate woman, although what happened just now was uncomfortable, but it was not enough to crush her thick and strong nervous system. It's just that I haven't taken a nap today, and because of habit, I feel a little sleepy, so I talked to Brother Li, and went to the next room to rest without mentioning it.

There were many customers today, and Lan Yu had to go forward on an errand, and when he saw that they were properly settled, he whispered to the mother-in-law and girls in the courtyard to serve them well, and went to the front.

Brother Li looked at the bird under the porch for a while and lost its freshness, she was a quiet character, knowing that her sister and younger brother were resting and inconvenient to disturb, so she sat under the porch and was stunned, and the housekeeper had the intention to please, so she smiled and said: "Three ladies, there is a swing frame behind it." The rope was only changed in March this year, and our two ladies played yesterday. ”

Brother Li is too tightly detained by his mother at home on weekdays, and even ordinary daughters' games rarely have the opportunity to play, so Brother Xu Ying has to come to the door to intercede in person to go. No one detains her today, so she has to go and play again. But in the end, he was just alone, the sun was big, and he lost his interest again after being pushed back and forth by the girls for dozens of years, and saw that there were a few Xia Lan plants in the shade under the wall, so he went to study the Xia Lan again.

That Xia Lan is different from Chunlan, she likes a ventilated and bright place, but now it is placed in this shady place, but it does not grow well. Brother Li was influenced by his mother, and he loved to play with flowers and grass since he came, so he had to command the girls to move to a ventilated and bright place, and fiddled with it again.

Ziyu saw that Brother Li was happy, so she stayed on the side, and suddenly, she smelled a scorching smell, as if the silk silk had been burned by fire. She looked around in surprise, but saw a cluster of flames quietly burning on the long and gorgeous thousand-pleated skirt behind Brother Li, and no one in the audience noticed it.

The sky is blue and white, and no one is playing with fire, why is this skirt on fire? Ziyu was shocked and frightened, and before she had time to think about it, she shouted and stepped forward to shoot the flame, but she was so angry by the fire that she screamed and was in pain. In a blink of an eye, I saw the perennial water tank and water scoop by the wall, strode over, scooped up a scoop of water and splashed it.

Brother Li was horrified, hugged a girl nearby and shouted.

Brother Xu Ying woke up from his dream, and before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Xu Xue next door being awakened and crying loudly. Brother Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, and recognized that the sound was coming from the backyard, so he quickly got up from the bed, ran to the window barefoot, and slammed open the window to look out.

In the backyard, the air was filled with the strange smell of protein being burned. Several girls surrounded Brother Li in the middle, Brother Li's face was pale, and he leaned on Ziyu with a frightened face, and his skirt was even more wet and very embarrassed.

Thankfully, nothing major happened. Brother Xu Ying let out a sigh of relief, and said aloud while putting on his shoes: "What's the matter? ”

Hearing her voice, Brother Li's eyes slowly turned, and when he saw her clearly, he cried aggrievedly and fearfully: "Second sister! ”

"I'm here, don't be afraid! But where is the injury? Brother Sakura quickly walked into the backyard, took Brother Li into his arms and comforted him softly, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he looked at the people around him sternly: "What's wrong?" ”

Everyone was full of horror, and no one dared to say much, Ziyu trembled and whispered: "The skirt of the third lady suddenly caught fire somehow. ”

Inexplicably, how could it suddenly catch fire? Brother Xu Ying was also taken aback first, then calmed down, and then looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, knowing that they were superstitious, probably thinking about the gods and ghosts, so he frowned and shouted: "Inexplicable, how could it suddenly catch fire?" It's clear that someone is making trouble! Why don't you go out and see if there are any suspicious people around? ”

The housekeeper was also stupid, first, things were too weird, and second, grandma's sister-in-law had an accident with her, and she couldn't escape it. At this time, I saw that someone came forward to deal with it, and I was busy responding, and called a girl to run out quickly to see.

"Don't cry, it's lucky not to be hurt. Tell me what's going on? Brother Xu Ying frowned and looked at Brother Li's skirt, the back hem of the beautiful Xia-like yarn thousand-pleated skirt had been burned with a big hole, which was miserable, but fortunately, people were still fine.

Brother Sakura's body had a reassuring smell, Brother Li gradually calmed down, and choked up: "I don't know, I stopped to rest, and saw a few pots of orchids under the wall over there, so I went over to look at it for a while, and then Ziyu shouted, and when I looked back, I saw a fire behind me." ”

Brother Xu Ying looked at Ziyu, and Ziyu also looked uncomfortable: "The slave didn't know what was going on, but she just smelled a scorching smell, and then she saw that the third lady's skirt was on fire." ”

Qingyu thought of the origin of this xiaxiang veil on the side, and her face turned white in an instant.

Although she doesn't understand her own origins, this is not a fantasy world where magic and fairies and demons are rampant at any time, and the biggest possibility is that someone is playing a prank. Somehow, Brother Xu Ying's mind came to Zhang Yizheng's smiling face...... The girls from the Xu family are no problem, but the people in this courtyard are not necessarily, Brother Xu Ying's eyes swept over the faces of the remaining two girls from the General's Mansion, but he only saw two faces that were also frightened.

She is just a guest, even if she is suspicious, it is not good to overstep her bounds, if she wants to say that she has sealed the yard and waited for Brother Xu Xing to investigate, she also let two people out just now, and it is too late to do anything. Brother Xu Ying was a little annoyed, and with a little hope, he whispered to Ziyu: "Go down and bandage the medicine first." He also told Qingyu a few: "Find me in this yard, search inch by inch, and see what you can find?" ”

As long as someone makes it bad, there are always clues left.
