Wan Jiehong disappeared, and the Wan family asked all the people involved, but they didn't hear him, they searched all over the land of Youzhou, but they couldn't see his remains, and they were restless.

But when they knew about Lin Jingmao's return to Beijing, they seemed to have some hope, and Wan Jiehong's grandson, Wan Chongkun, the superintendent of the imperial history, prepared a generous gift, and took a few servants to ride in an ebony carriage and hurried to the Lin Guogong Mansion.

The sound of horses' hooves, the clanging of golden bells, the light of the clouds, and the gallop of the carriage speeding up, raising up three thousand dusts, blurring the curtain and creating a hazy color of smoke.

After a while, they arrived at Lin Guogong's mansion, Wan Chongkun got out of the carriage, walked to the door of the mansion elegantly, and knocked on the door.

The door of the mansion was wide open, and a gatekeeper came out, so Wan Chongkun took off the official seal from his waist and handed it to him: "Please give it to Brother Jingmao!" ”

The man took it, knew his intentions, and hurried to inform Lin Jingmao.

Lin Jingmao took the official seal, checked it carefully, and knew that the person who came was Wan Chongkun, so he walked out of the mansion to greet him.

When Wan Chongkun saw him come out, he approached him and saluted him: "Chongkun greets General Lin!" ”

Lin Jingmao said with a smile: "Brother Chongkun doesn't have to make this big gift!" After saying that, he returned the official seal to him.

He held it and replied: "General Lin fought on the battlefield at a young age, held a high position, and has the talent to win a thousand miles, I admire the general, etiquette is indispensable!" ”

Lin Jingmao said gently: "Brother Chongkun is polite!" ”

Wan Chongkun nodded to him, then turned to the servant and said, "Move the things down quickly!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants removed boxes of generous gifts from the carriage.

Seeing this, Lin Jingmao frowned: "Slow, don't move!" After he finished speaking, the servant paused, and he continued: "Brother Chongkun, what are you doing! I can't accept it! ”

Wan Chongkun said: "I have heard the name of the general for a long time, but I have not been able to come to visit, I repent!" After speaking, he sighed: "Now that I have something to ask, it is necessary to bring gifts!" ”

Lin Jingmao waved his hand: "Brother Chongkun, no matter what you say, I can't accept it!" ”

Wan Chongkun frowned: "General, the courtesy is light and the love is heavy, you must accept it!" Seeing that he looked calm and had no intention of accepting it, he knelt down with a "poof".

Seeing this, Lin Jingmao was surprised: "What are you doing!" ”

He replied, "If the general doesn't accept it, I won't be able to kneel here!" ”

"Why are you doing this?"

"If the general doesn't accept it, I can't afford to kneel!"

"You......"

“……”

Lin Jingmao looked up at the sky, and when he saw the scorching sun in the sky and the sky was clear, he said: "The scorching sun is scorching, and it is easy to get heat stroke when you kneel for a long time!" Hurry up, I can't take it! ”

He pursed his lips and smiled, stood up, turned to the servant, and said, "Don't stop, move your things in!" ”

So, the servants moved up again, and he and Lin Jingmao walked side by side to the council hall of Lin Guogong's mansion.

When they reached the council chamber, the green-clad maids swarmed in, standing side by side, waiting for their dispatch.

After Lin Jingmao invited him to sit down, he said, "You go make tea and serve some pastries!" ”

The maids should leave, and they bowed and withdrew, and went to do what they had to do.

Lin Jingmao said: "Brother Chongkun came to visit this time, presumably for the disappearance of General Wanda!" ”

"That's right!"

There was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he shook his head helplessly: "I won't tell you, General Wanda...... It's gone! I hope you will mourn and change! Take care! ”

When Wan Chongkun heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked back at him, he seemed to disbelieve: "You...... What did you say! ”

He said firmly: "He ...... It's gone! ”

With a "snort", Wan Chongkun laughed in a daze: "How is it possible!" Although my grandfather was old, he was a strong martial artist and his body was always strong, and I don't believe he was dead! He added, "If he is dead, how can he not see his body?" Besides, how can the life and death of my grandfather be determined by your words! After speaking, he stared at Lin Jingmao.

At this time, the maid came in with pastries and tea, brought them respectively, and bowed again and withdrew.

Lin Jingmao picked up the tea cup, opened the tea lid, and took a sip: "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't lie to you!" With that, he put down the teacup.

"If that's the case, why don't you see the body?"

"Although I can't see his body, I found a pile of gray dust in the place where he fought with Chen Yu, so it can be inferred that General Wan Da is dead!"

Wan Chongkun immediately stood up and muttered thoughtfully: "Gray dust...... Chen Yu's tricks...... You mean that Chen Yu killed his grandfather with corpse poison! This...... Don't ......" After speaking, he looked at Lin Jingmao.

Lin Jingmao looked back at him and nodded at him.

Seeing this, his eyes were distracted, his body was unstable, he fell back, and sat down again, he held his head in his hands, and shouted tremblingly: "Ah...... Don't ......" shouted, he closed his eyes in pain, tears uncontrollably pouring out of his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Jingmao took out a handkerchief, handed it to him, turned his face and said, "People can't be resurrected after death!" Please also mourn and wipe it! ”

He took the handkerchief and wiped his tears: "Longmen Jade Seal...... Is it still there? ”

Lin Jingmao looked at him and shook his head.

He sneered: "Heh, Chen Yu, I remember!" After speaking, he stood up and said to Lin Jingmao: "I've been chattering here for a long time, I'm really sorry!" ”

Lin Jingmao said gently: "Brother Chongkun is serious! ”

"It's time for me to go! Leave! After Wan Chongkun finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Jingmao looked at his back, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Heh! ”

Since then, the funeral ceremony has been held in the General Wanda Mansion, but the people in the mansion are not allowed to mourn outsiders, and the ceremony is not grand, all of which are surprising to outsiders!

Others don't understand, only they know how ridiculous a funeral without a corpse is!

White silk flutters all over the house, there is an empty coffin in the mourning hall, the people in the house kneel down to worship it, cry around the coffin, Wan Chongkun stands outside the mourning hall, looking at the sky like gray silk, no sorrow and no joy.

I don't know how long it took, Pan Mingzhong slowly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, a glimmer of light caught her eyes that made her dizzy and have a splitting headache.

She stroked her forehead and felt the circles of herbal gauze.

She looked around, and the familiar beaded curtain bed tent and room layout were her boudoir!

She's not dead! She's alive!

At this time, Xue Lian, who was sleeping on the round table, gradually woke up, and when she looked at it, she saw Pan Mingzhong's hand move!

She looked overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to the bedside to see Pan Mingzhong: "Girl, you finally woke up!" Seeing the wound on her forehead again, she was faintly distressed, and couldn't help but blame her: "Girl, why are you so careless!" It's okay now, I hurt myself! ”

Seeing her expressionless, she continued: "Fortunately, the doctor said that it was not a big deal, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life!" ”

Pan Mingzhong remembered what happened before, and couldn't help asking, "How long did I sleep?" Has anyone ever been here? ”

She told the truth: "You have been in a coma for four days! However, except for Second Cousin Lin carrying you back, no outsiders have come! ”

Hearing this, Pan Mingzhong unconsciously wrinkled his sleeves.

It's him! I hate her so much, why do you want to save her? Do you want to continue torturing her?

"Girl...... The girl ...... "Snow Lotus called her that she should not, and she saw her frowning again, and her thoughts drifted into the distance, so she stretched out her hand and waved in front of her eyes: "Girl, what do you want?" Think so intrigued! ”

Seeing her waving hand, Pan Mingzhong came back to her senses, and she smiled at her: "It's nothing!" I'm fine! Don't worry too much! ”

Although Xue Lian looked at her with suspicion, she had no choice but to say, "Okay! You have a good rest, and you will be able to remove the gauze in a few days! ”

Pan Mingzhong nodded, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After a few more days, Pan Mingzhong removed the gauze, and the wound gradually healed!

However, Xuelian found that Pan Mingzhong said less and more, and stayed in the bath room for longer and longer. She was surprised, but she didn't dare to ask more, for fear that her emotions would get out of control again.

Once, Xue Lian sat in the room as usual and was a female celebrity. Time passed little by little, and she didn't see Pan Mingzhong coming out of the bathhouse, she was a little worried, so she broke into the bath room alone and quietly walked to her side.

She was apprehensive in her heart, and she walked step by step. When she was only a few steps away, she was even more surprised to see that she was immersed in the water and did not look up for a long time.

Suddenly, Xue Lian remembered her abnormal state, and remembered her red marks on the night of Jilu, her eyes were slightly red, and everything was clear.

She leaned against her bathtub and gently swiped the bath water, the temperature in her hand became even colder, and she said in a trembling voice, "Girl...... The water is cold! ”

Pan Mingzhong said "um" and was speechless.

"Aren't you up yet?"

"It's coming!"

"Well, I embroider...... I don't know how to stitch, you can come out and teach me! I'm waiting! After Xue Lian finished speaking, she walked out without waiting for her answer.

Pan Mingzhong said softly: "You are obviously better at embroidery than me, why do you want me to teach you?" Are you going to insult me like everyone else? After saying that, he sneered a few times, got out of the bathtub, got dressed and walked out.

When Xuelian saw her come out, she felt a burst of joy in her heart, so she picked up the embroidered cloth: "Girl......"

Before she finished speaking, Pan Mingzhong interrupted her: "I've already come out, don't mention embroidery to me!" ”

Xue Lian listened and did not speak.

The two of them sat at one end of the house, with different thoughts, and were speechless for a long time, and they seemed very lonely in the quiet night.

Since the news of Pan Changping's search for a son-in-law was revealed, Pan Mansion received Geng posts from the children of the official family every day, and Pan Changping and Mrs. Yang were heartbroken and busy for Chengzhong's marriage.

After they agreed, Mrs. Yang took the Geng post and walked to Pan Chengzhong's boudoir.

The room is cold and fragrant, and there is a blue and white chrysanthemum petal pattern green glazed willow leaf bottle on the flower table by the window, and there are several bunches of summer chrysanthemum in the bottle, which is golden and bright. There is a mahogany piano case behind the four seasons flower screen in the compartment, and there is a mahogany plum blossom zither with a deep color on the piano case, and on the left is Zhang Meiren couch, and Pan Chengzhong lies on his side.

She heard the sound of the door opening, looked sideways, and saw that it was her mother, so she got up: "Mother! There you are! ”

Mrs. Yang slowly approached her, took her hands, and invited her to sit down with her, she looked at her with a smile: "Chengzhong, you have grown up!" Born more and more peugeot! ”
