The sound of firecrackers shook the sky, and the blasted slag fluttered to the ground, completing their mission, followed by a dead silence after jubilation.

Lan Jingrong, the lord of the Blue Mansion, stood at the door of the Blue Mansion, wearing a festive red coat and a kind smile. He coughed, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and began to speak.

"Thank you for visiting Lan's humble house, contemptible people are eighty this year, a special banquet to thank you for entertaining relatives and friends, I died early, she wanted to re-establish the abandoned backyard before her death, build a back garden, take advantage of today's big day, now I invite you, if there are any good general workers at home, please introduce it to me, Lan will be grateful."

After speaking, he began to welcome guests, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going, because the Blue Mansion is a big family in Nanjing City, and it has contacts with many celebrities and squires in business and trade, and everyone will inevitably come to enjoy the birthday of Lord Lan. The four sisters all helped their grandfather greet guests at the door, while their sons and daughters-in-law were in charge of greeting guests in the mansion, and the Blue Mansion instantly fell into a lively and festive atmosphere.

On the night of the mother's accident, the brothers couldn't sleep for two nights, falling into endless sadness and helplessness, the torrential rain also destroyed the thatched house of the Xu family very completely, the inside and outside of the house began to leak, the moonlight from the roof through the holes, hit the puddles on the ground, the cold wind also drilled through the holes, blowing the thatch to make a sorrowful cry.

"It's gone, it's gone, my mother is gone, the house is gone, brother, what should I do?" Zhifan shed a string of tears as he spoke.

Lin Wei was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Afan, let's move away, let's go to the city to make a living, we do hard work, do manual labor, we have to live." After saying that, both of them were silent, there was really no way out, maybe this was the best way, and silence may also mean acquiescence.

Taking off his wet clothes and preparing to pack up, Lin Wei got up and walked to the inner bedroom, at this time, Zhifan suddenly stopped Lin Wei, "Brother, wait." He stood up, leaned over, touched Lin Wei's chest, and looked frightened, Lin Wei also took a look at it, it was the pattern of Lu Hua's fingernails scratching Lin Wei's body when he was fluttering in the water, "This is the white character and the Lin character, what does this mean, what does my mother want to say?" Lin Wei looked at it, and what was written on his chest crookedly was the white characters and Lin characters, and Zhifan roared madly at the roof, "Mother, what are you going to say, you say!" But only the wind whistling from the roof responded in cold blood. Lin Wei hugged his younger brother and couldn't help crying, "Afan, there are only two of us left, only the two of us left." ”

The next day, the two brothers packed up and dragged their tired bodies out of the house, Lin Wei subconsciously glanced at the abandoned platform, the pocket was still hidden in the corner, and it was bulging inside, but Lin Wei was so numb that he didn't want to do anything more, the brothers looked at the last night of the house, gritted their teeth, held back tears, and did not look back.

It was not only the Xu family who was affected by the disaster, many farmlands in the village were also flooded, and the Liu family at the entrance of the village also died, it was Mrs. Liu, who had a close relationship with Lu Hua before, but fate was like this, in an instant, it was gone, Zhifan looked at the mourning hall from the path outside the door, there was no body of Mrs. Liu, and the black and white photo was so terrifying that people trembled.

When they came to the bustling city of Nanjing, the brothers were confused, so they had to follow the flow of people blindly, and they actually walked to the street of Lanfu. Steward Huang walked next to Master Lan and whispered, "Master, the people from Baifu are here, and the sedan chair has already arrived at the corner of the street." Zhichun on the side heard it and jumped up excitedly, "Brother Bai Hao is here, Brother Bai Hao is here." The other three sisters also began to get agitated. Zhichun happily ran out, ready to meet them at the street entrance.

Baifu and Lanfu are friends who are irreversible, Bai Xiaozhai, the lord of Baifu, and Lan Jingrong, who went out of the same house, formed a friendship, Bai Xiaozhai's wife is Liu Na, and his son is

Bai Rongshan, this Bai Rongshan is indifferent and arrogant, his wife ran away at some point, and he never explained, and then everyone forgot about it, leaving only the handsome and handsome only son, that is, Bai Hao in Zhichun's mouth, Bai Hao and the four sisters often correspond, and Zhichun has the best relationship, there is a feeling of childhood sweethearts, everyone believes that the two will tie the knot in the end, but they all acquiesce.

Zhichun ran on the crowded street, kept looking at the street in the distance, accidentally collided with the two Zhifan brothers violently, Zhichun was bounced to the ground, and the new white dress he was wearing was also dirty, Zhifan hurriedly apologized and helped her up, a beautiful and charming fragrance hit Zhifan, Zhifan wanted to take a closer look at her face, but Zhichun didn't care, got up, left the two brothers and ran out, "Eh, Miss, I'm sorry" Zhifan shouted at Zhichun, Zhichun instantly turned his face and replied It's okay, At that moment, Zhifan saw the most longed-for beauty, although vague, but real. "This young lady is really sloppy." Zhifan lowered his head and said to himself with a light smile. Lin Wei didn't care and told Zhifan to leave.

Coming to the side door of the Blue Mansion, Lin Wei saw that Steward Huang was posting an announcement for recruitment, so he was overjoyed, and went up to recommend himself, Steward Huang saw that the two of them were still relatively strong, so he agreed without saying a word, Zhifan was so happy that after all, he was a big family, and he never twisted and tangled, in fact, Steward Huang was busy with too many trivial matters on the master's birthday, and one less thing was one, and if he met a qualified one, don't be in vain.

Steward Huang took the two brothers into the backyard from the back door, avoiding those guests, there is a room in the backyard, there is only one bed in it, a little big, a mirror leaning against the wall, a simple dilapidated table, there is no other furniture, the brothers are more satisfied, and happily agreed to the project, Steward Huang repeatedly warned them that today is the birthday of the old man, and they are not allowed to enter the main mansion from the backyard door, and they can go out to the city to visit. For the first time, the brothers felt the inferiority complex brought by their humble status, so they had to stay away from the lively scene, and the two went out the back door and wandered the streets.

Zhichun ran to the street, just in time, the Bai family's sedan chair had just stopped, Zhichun held his hands on his chest and looked forward to them coming out of the sedan chair, the first one to come out was Master Bai, he saw Zhichun standing there excitedly and said to the sedan chair, "Zhichun is coming", Bai Hao couldn't wait to get out, squeezed past his grandfather, jumped off the sedan chair, and ran towards Zhichun.

"Zhichun, why are you here?" Bai Hao was very surprised, Zhichun watched everyone get off the sedan chair one after another, so he raised his voice and said, "Steward Huang said that you are here, so I will run over to greet you." Bai Hao saw the black mud on Zhichun's skirt, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with your skirt?" Zhichun looked at his skirt, embarrassed, and covered it with his hand, "It's okay, I was too excited, I accidentally fell." Master Bai, the old lady and Uncle Bai all laughed loudly, and pulled Bai Hao and Zhichun towards the Lan Mansion.

The birthday banquet went very smoothly, and when the night came, the guests were full and had fun, and said goodbye to Lord Lan, and the white mansion also left, because according to local tradition, if a person has a birthday, there will be a family banquet every night, and only family members can attend.

Master Lan sat in the right position, waiting for all the staff to arrive, Jindong was busy bidding farewell to the last batch of guests and had not yet entered the table, everyone was impatient, at this time, Steward Huang presented the cheongsam, Lord Lan was very satisfied, while everyone was appreciating the cheongsam, Jindong's wife Ye Chuanling said to the master: "Wait a minute, I'll tell Jindong to come over quickly." At this time, Zhidong couldn't hold it back, "Wait, auntie, I'll go with you." Jinxi's wife, Gao Qin, explained a few words to Zhidong, and then let her go out through the door on the right side with her eldest mother.

After waiting for a while, after everyone admired the cheongsam, the lord asked Steward Huang to hang the cheongsam in the bedroom, and then go back to the room to take a closer look after the family banquet. Not long after Steward Huang left, Jindong hurried in through the left door, constantly apologizing for his tardiness.

"Dad, where have you been, my mother and Zhidong have been looking for you for a long time." Zhixia began to complain. "How long have they been out? Do you want me to go to them? Jindong replied solemnly, and was about to get up, when the master spoke. Forget it, don't look for it, you look for me, I'll look for you, when will this be found? Wait. The lobby was quiet for an instant, and I felt that the old man was angry, and everyone didn't dare to speak, so they had to wait quietly for the two to come back.

Suddenly, Butler Huang stumbled in and shouted in a terrifying tone: "Master, it's not good, it's not good." Everyone followed Steward Huang out in a panic and came to the main entrance, where the bodies of the eldest lady and Zhidong hung on the hanging beam. The eldest lady's neck was strangled fiercely, her eyes were completely white, one hand was cut off and fell to the ground, her arm kept spurting blood, and Zhidong's stomach was a long knife mark, and the blood slowly flowed out of the stomach, to the thighs, to the ankles, and then ticked and dripped to the ground with a loud sound. Zhichun Zhiqiu hurriedly hid in Jindong's arms in fright, Zhixia was also so frightened that he closed his eyes and began to scream, Erniang Gaoqin saw that he was directly at a loss for what to do there, opening his mouth wide, even Jindong Jinxi, who had a long-term vision, was stunned, and the old man followed quickly behind, and when he saw this bloody scene, he fainted directly.

The old man was carried into the room bed, gradually regained consciousness, one side, and the blue cheongsam came to face each other, the old man was frightened, sat up, walked towards the cheongsam without consciousness and control, holding a magnifying glass, carefully exploring every crevice of the cheongsam, each blue line of the cheongsam hides an inconspicuous golden line, and the lotus line is deep and shallow, each line seems to be an enlarged eye, and the blue lord is directly facing each other, rampant, arrogant, but mysterious.

There was a gust of wind outside, the wind in the yard swirled and swirled, like a woman's crying, the paper window was blown by the wind, and Master Lan felt that there was something faintly behind him, so he took a magnifying glass and put it on his eyes and turned around slowly.
