Qiu Gubo explained: "The Eight Kings Courtyard used to be divided into four courtyards, east, west, north and south, and there were four heads living here, because the Osmanthus House in the South Courtyard had been bought by the handsome, and Miss Shen of the Osmanthus House had also been redeemed, so only Miss Tao in the East Courtyard, Miss Ye in the West Courtyard, and Xue Niang in the North Courtyard remained. ”

Cai Qianqing repeated in a low voice: "Miss Tao, Miss Ye, Xue Niang, and, Miss Shen." ”

Qiu Gubo said: "Yes. ”

Cai Qianqing nodded silently, stopped talking, and remained silent.

The boss didn't know what was wrong, he was very scared, he just stood on one side with his head down, his forehead was full of sweat.

Qiu Gubo on the side also looked at Cai Qianqing strangely, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Cai Qianqing's ears sounded the words of Yansun a few days ago: "Zhang Dingfeng went to the Eight Kings Courtyard, and Xin Guangyun also saw him enter the osmanthus house in the South Courtyard. ”

Cai Qianqing stood there to discern the next direction, pointed to the south and said, "That's the Osmanthus House in the South Courtyard over there, right?" ”

The boss hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Qiu Gubo was puzzled: "You want to go to the Osmanthus House?" ”

Cai Qianqing looked at Qiu Gubo: "Qiu Zhutan, I have a reluctant request below, can I meet Miss Shen?" ”

Qiu Gubo nodded: "Of course, please." ”

The boss stood aside with interest and did not follow anymore, because the South Courtyard no longer belonged to his property, and because everyone in the Eight Kings Courtyard knew the relationship between Qiu Gubo and Shen Qingmeng, in the eyes of everyone, it was not Fu Guodong who ransomed Shen Qingmeng, but Qiu Gubo.

To put it bluntly, Shen Qingmeng is already Qiu Gubo's woman.

Passing through the eaves of the courtyard and walking to the gate of the garden, Qiu Gubo led Cai Qianqing to the door of the osmanthus house.

"Wait a minute." Qiu Gubo raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Miss Shen." ”

"Here we are." Shen Qingmeng's unconcealed joy came from inside the courtyard.

I don't know why, when she heard Shen Qingmeng's voice, Cai Qianqing felt that her breathing was about to stop.

The sound of opening the latch was like a pair of hands rummaging through the key that Cai Qianqing had hidden, and when the door opened and Shen Qingmeng appeared at the door, those hands seemed to use the key to open the shackles that Cai Qianqing had tied to his heart.

When Shen Qingmeng saw Cai Qianqing, he was stunned, and immediately put away the smile that he only showed to Qiu Gubo on weekdays, and replaced it with a normal smile.

Qiu Gubo introduced: "This is Mr. Cai Qianqing Cai, whom I often mention. ”

Shen Qingmeng bowed slightly: "Mr. Cai." ”

Cai Qianqing's gaze always fell on Shen Qingmeng's face, and his hands were trembling slightly, he knew that he had lost his temper, but he couldn't control himself.

That day, he said a word to Yansun, and he said: "Yin and yang are both male and female, but also male and female, and there are men and women who can't escape a love word. ”

Cai Qianqing trembled slightly, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and only then did he understand that this poison, the person who drugged it, was not just Qiu Gubo, but himself.

In the world, how can there be someone who looks so similar to her?

●

The top of Newport Church.

When Wu Sihe climbed up, he found that Liu Luoqu was lying there leisurely basking in the sun.

Wu Sihe sat next to him and asked, "How is it?" ”

"There's no chance to do it." Liu Luoqu spit out the straw in his mouth, "Those cult disciples and believers eat and drink together with foreigners, and they rashly poison them, and everyone has to die." ”

Wu Sihe nodded: "I also searched all over the church, but I couldn't find any opportunity to start." ”

Liu Luoqu turned over: "The most ridiculous thing is that those foreigners don't know that they have become hostages, and they are still preaching to those cult disciples and believers, so that they don't believe in the sea god and change to God." ”

Wu Sihe thought for a while and said, "This is not a good thing. ”

Liu Luoqu smiled: "If they really convert to God and no longer harm the people, it will be a good thing, but if they just pretend to believe in God, and in the future they will cause trouble in Yongcheng under the banner of God, then it will not be a dose of poison that can solve it." ”

Wu Sihe looked at the bottom of the church, seemed to have found something, got up and said, "Look, that kid is here again." ”

"Who?" Liu Luoqu also looked over, and saw a young student wearing a student hat and glasses, wearing a Mao suit, holding a Bible in his hand, and talking to Fu Guodong's guards with a smile.

"That kid has been coming every day all this time." Wu Sihe frowned and looked, "I went to inquire yesterday, his name is Zhang Pei'an, he just returned from studying in Japan, and he is the son of Zhang Fuzhi, the first of the three families in Yongcheng." ”

Liu Luoqu looked at it and found that Zhang Pei'an was blocked by Fu Guodong's soldiers and was not allowed to enter the area of the church, but the foreigner officer guarding the church walked out immediately under Zhang Pei'an's greeting, and after the two talked and laughed for a while, the foreigner led Zhang Pei'an into it and sent him to the church gate.

Seeing this, Liu Luoqu said: "This Zhang Pei'an seems to have a good relationship with foreigners." ”

"It's not just good." Wu Sihe said with a wry smile, "You must know that his father is a think tank in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium, dealing with foreigners all the year round, tying his interests to foreigners, even Fu Guodong doesn't dare to touch him, not to mention that most of Yongcheng's taxes rely on the three families of Yongcheng, Zhang Fuzhi makes a little move, Fu Guodong is afraid, so no matter where his son enters and leaves Yongcheng, no one stops him." ”

Liu Luoqu shook his head: "Another gentleman." ”

"You're wrong, Zhang Pei'an is really not a gentleman." Wu Sihe denied, "This kid is really knowledgeable, and he never spends all day drinking, but he drinks too much ink, and seems to be very repulsive to some things left by his ancestors. ”

Liu Luoqu snorted: "It's not that you don't even recognize your ancestors, right?" ”

Wu Sihe sat down: "This kid published an article in the Dawn Daily a few days ago, claiming that the Republic of China has no foundation, and if China wants to become a civilized power in the 20th century, it must first abolish the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the way of Confucius and Mencius must first abolish Chinese characters, because Chinese characters are difficult to read and write, hindering the popularization of education and the dissemination of knowledge. ”

Liu Luoqu listened to the music: "This kid is sick, right?" What do we Chinese use without Chinese characters? ”

Wu Sihe sighed: "I used to read in the newspaper that some learned people think that pinyin should be used instead, some think that the font should be simplified, and some think that foreign characters should be used, such as English, which is put together by dozens of letters, which is simple and easy to learn." ”

Liu Luoqu stretched his waist and lay down again: "No wonder some people say that scholars mislead the country, and sometimes it is not a good thing to read and read so that the brain is blocked." ”

Wu Sihe said: "What we are doing now is right or wrong, none of us can say it." ”

Liu Luoqu looked at him sideways: "Then who has the final say?" ”

Wu Sihe looked into the distance and said, "Posterity, right and wrong, posterity will judge." ”

"I know that too." Liu Luoqu looked at the air and said with a smile, "A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are all laughed and discussed." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, then fell silent again.

After all, they are here to kill.

"What's wrong with him?" Qiu Gubo stood at the door of the osmanthus house, looking at Cai Qianqing standing under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard with Shen Qingmeng.

Since entering the hospital, Cai Qianqing's eyes have never left Shen Qingmeng, it seems that Cai Qianqing regards her as another person, not Shen Qingmeng.

Although Qiu Gubo noticed Cai Qianqing's obvious changes, he didn't think about things so deeply.

"Last night was thrilling." Shen Qingmeng looked at Qiu Gubo and asked, "I listened to the gunshots until it stopped in the middle of the night, and I was worried about you, but I didn't know where to find you, so I almost didn't sleep all night." ”

These words made Qiu Gubo's heart warm, any man looks forward to liking women's care, and he is no exception, sometimes, he even looks forward to his own life of nine deaths, because he really wants to see Shen Qingmeng's appearance of worrying about himself.

Because worry is also a manifestation of love.

If, there is really love between them now, not ambiguity.

There was a knock on the door, and Qiu Gubo said, "Come in." ”

The courtyard door opened, and Cai Qianqing under the tree did not turn around, it seemed that his soul had now flown to another world, and everything that happened around his body was not important to him.

Qiu Gubo looked at the soldiers standing at the gate of the courtyard and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Report to the sir, the marshal orders you to go to the Governor's Mansion immediately." The soldier stood still and saluted.

Qiu Gubo nodded slightly: "What about Mr. Cai?" ”

The soldier shook his head: "The marshal said to let Mr. Cai rest for a good life." ”

Qiu Gubo heard that the meaning of the words was to let him go alone, so he said, "Wait a minute, I'll be here soon." ”

The soldiers saluted and left, and when Qiu Gubo was about to walk towards Cai Qianqing, Shen Qingmeng grabbed his arm and said, "You go, there are friends in the courtyard where I greet you, and there are so many soldiers outside the courtyard, it's okay." ”

"Okay." Qiu Gubo smiled.

Qiu Gubo was just about to leave, when Shen Qingmeng asked again, "What do you want to eat at night?" ”

"Osmanthus duck." Qiu Gubo briefly said the name of the dish, smiled and turned to leave, and when he walked out of the courtyard gate, he stopped slightly, looked at Cai Qianqing, who was still standing there, and then left.

After the courtyard door was closed again, Shen Qingmeng walked down the steps, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly came to Cai Qianqing and asked softly, "Sir?" ”

Cai Qianqing came back to her senses and arched her hand: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, I'm going to say goodbye." ”

Shen Qingmeng just smiled and didn't say anything, and when Cai Qianqing turned around and wanted to leave, she said, "Sir, I want to know, who am I like?" ”

Cai Qianqing was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Shen Qingmeng, and finally a look of surprise appeared on his face that even Qiu Gubo had never seen.

Shen Qingmeng turned sideways and said, "Sir, it's cold, let's go in and have a cup of flower tea." ”

Cai Qianqing did not refuse, because he didn't want to refuse either, at this time he seemed to have forgotten in his heart that this was a dose of poison, and the terrible thing was that maybe the poison itself was completely ignorant of what was about to happen.

"I'm tired." Cai Qianqing saluted again and followed Shen Qingmeng into the osmanthus house.

●

After the water boiled, Shen Qingmeng rolled up his sleeves and put the flower tea into the pot, and soon the fragrance of the tea overflowed, like a group of elves strolling in the house.

Ease and comfort are Cai Qianqing's feelings at this time, and at the same time, he is also suppressing his excitement and suppressing the tears that will overflow in his eyes at any time.

"You're like a friend of mine." Cai Qianqing finally spoke when Shen Qingmeng poured tea for him.

Shen Qingmeng poured tea and sat down: "Is it a friend, or a beloved?" ”

Cai Qianqing hesitated, not intending to hide it: "Beloved, the love of my life, I swear that she will not marry." ”
