In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the first month of March, the day before the auspicious day of the wedding, He Angelica got up early to push the window and take a look, only to see that the courtyard wall under the windowsill was full of vitality inside and outside, with flowers accompanied by willow shadows, and the birds whispered into the sound of the stream, which was a good early spring scene. This Mocha Villa is also an elegant place, and the Baisha Villa paved with white sand is also the garden masterpiece of the old people of the previous generation of Jinyiwei, probably among those people who are proficient in this way.

These days, she has been waiting to get married in the room with peace of mind, and her newly recognized uncle Lu Jiangbei has come twice, probably because of his busy affairs, he left in a hurry after a cup of tea, and he no longer looks like the barren mountain treasure house or the intimate behavior behind the screen of the Lu Mansion, and his speech is also gentle and detached, but very much like a standard kind uncle. She suddenly didn't know whether she had figured it out or improved her adaptability, and within half a day, she accepted the fact that she had fewer relatives and more careful uncles who could handle both inside and outside, and enjoyed his kindness to her with peace of mind.

Gao Jue came once to report on the killing of Sun Meiniang; She took the initiative to find Liao Zhiyuan once and asked him to take her into the city to see what Guan Yun was leading the young ladies to do; She hadn't seen anyone else again, she thought that if she could secretly look at Duan Xiaolou in the dark, how she was doing now, and whether her complexion was good, then she would not live in vain when she came back to Mocha Villa. But let Liu Sui go to inquire among the subordinates to find out that on the third day of her official stay in the Ming Pavilion, the Holy Decree came to the villa, urgently summoned Duan Xiaolou and Jiang Pi and other generals, and returned to Beijing to solve a strange case.

He Danggui said in his heart, even if there was a holy decree, then the "intersection" between her and Duan Xiaolou living in the same villa was enough for three days, and he hadn't shown up for such a long time, it seemed that he had really forgotten. In this way, it should be considered complete. Forget about each other, and go to find a happy home. She thought quietly, letting Liu Sui's dexterous fingers weave between her hair, and in a few moments, a light flying fairy bun perched on her head.

Liu Sui smiled: "On the last day, I wore my long hair under the bun like this, and when the young lady got on the sedan chair tomorrow, I had to tie all the hair up, just like those married women." ”

He Angelica just wanted to give a few more instructions, how to go to Qingyuan to report to her as soon as he left the handling of several large and small affairs in the Ming Pavilion, as well as the news of cicada clothes and so on. The threshold rang, and from the bronze mirror, I saw that Qing'er was dragging a long flicking ponytail, rushing in in a hurry, and shouting: "The Luo family has a big incident again!" But you and the people in your courtyard have moved cleanly, Dong Xinlan can't look for your ballast this time, and go to Luo Baishao's ballast again, ho! I heard that the trouble was fierce, Dong Xinlan also said that the girl in Luo Baishao's yard stole her hosta, and she wanted to pull them all out and kill them, and she had to search the whole house up and down to catch the traitor hiding in the Luo family! ”

He Angelica handed a magnolia pearl stamen to Liu Sui, who inserted the brilliant flat square diagonally between her buns, and went down to arrange breakfast with a smile.

didn't wait for Angelica to ask more, Qing'er peeled an orange over there, and her mouth was already chattering, to the effect that within a few days of Dong's housekeeper, the good public middle school lost nearly two thousand taels of silver in the account, and no problem was found on the account after repeated checks, but there was less in the library, and the Dong family was ambitious, but the skills were really not good, the abacus was not clear, and there was no capable person under his hands. So I couldn't take care of the matter of looking for my son, I was so busy that I had no clue, and I heard over there that Luo Baiqian's concubine Guo Shi had recently gone to the old lady every day to ask for peace, and the old lady smiled at her, often asking "Is there any news in the stomach?" ”

As soon as the Dong family heard about this, they were furious, and immediately went to the side courtyard of Liulitang to find trouble with the Guo family - because she was afraid that Guo would secretly go to sleep with Luo Baiqian and become pregnant with Luo Baiqian's cheap seed, she had always arranged Guo's residence in her own courtyard, and no matter how obstructive it was, she had to watch it every day. That Guo is also a fierce man who is flexible and very good at quarrelling, so there was a big fuss in the Liuli Hall, scaring away Wei Ge'er, who was playing in the courtyard at the time. It doesn't show it in the daytime, but when I go to bed at night, three or four nurses are looking all over the world, and I can't find the lively young master like a little monkey!

He Angelica was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Wei Ge'er is also lost?" Dafang lost two children in a row? "This is too weak, the big house has only been in charge of housework for a few days, and the private house has not saved two of his own money, and his son has lost two in one go.

Qing'er divided the oranges into two, and ate half of them with He Angelica and said: "I found that Wei Ge'er was gone, Dong Xinlan sealed all the doors of the Luo family, and tortured all the little guys on the door, saying that she hadn't seen Wei Ge'er go out, so she decided that Wei Ge'er was just playing and hiding." Because Wei Ge'er's most frequent place in the Luo family is Luo Baishao's courtyard, Dong Xinlan aimed at Luo Baishao again, and the tricks were almost the same as the last time she dealt with Taoyao Courtyard, in addition to beating people, she also relied on Luo Baishao's girl to steal things, and finally staged a good show of searching and raiding the house. ”

He Angelica bit the orange and sneered: "Don't worry about them, sooner or later there will be a time to raid the house." ”

"These are all things I heard Luo Baiji say," Qing'er pursed her lips and smiled, "When you eloped with Lu Jiangbei that day, Luo Baiji hadn't come back from Rabbit Town yet, and when I heard about it after I came back, I also sighed for a long time, I don't know whether to be happy for you or sad for himself." ”

"No matter how poor you are, I'll screw your cheeks." He Angelica squinted at her.

Qing'er pursed her lips and continued: "It wasn't until later that I heard that your uncle and the matchmaker of the Meng family had agreed on a family affair, and Luo Bai was desperate, so he bought red brocade, red rouge, and red and sent them to us. I didn't let him in this morning, saying you slept late last day, and you haven't gotten up yet; He also said that the Luo family had an eventful time, and he didn't have time to stay longer. One is that the old lady is not happy, and the other is that Wei Ge'er is missing in her own home, and the yard is full of strong martial arts guards, Xiao Pan Xiaoguang's is impossible to be robbed by gangsters. The whole family has been looking for it, but there are no clues yet, no one alive, no corpse dead. ”

He Angelica choked on the orange and only silently daze, while Qing'er sighed, frowned and smiled: "Is this considered a good reward for good, and an evil reward for evil, not a report and a time has not come?" You are kind to their family, take care of the old, raise the young, and do good deeds like Lei Feng without leaving a name, in the end, most of their family are wolf-hearted, no one is grateful to you, and almost blocked the good marriage between you and Meng Xuan. ”

"There are a lot of bad people in there, but they shouldn't be retribution on the children."

He Angelica added such a sentence at the end, commented on the matter, and then moved on to other topics. She remembered that she hadn't mentioned the murder of Lufu to Qing'er in the past few days, so she said the word "pearl", and Qing'er smiled and took out a palm-sized diamond-shaped sachet embroidered with yellow lily from her sleeve, saying that this was a treasure that Pearl had always treasured, and let her personal girl send it.

The girl was too young to even learn her master's words, and in the end, Qing'er didn't understand what the benefits of this sachet were. At this time, he took the sachet to He Angelica, Qing'er skipped this detail, and directly talked about Sister Pearl's quite successful husband's technique, adding various "10 tricks to tie her husband's heart", "10 postures that are easiest to conceive a boy" accumulated in modern times, "encouragement in bed, guidance as a supplement, occasionally fake a few flattery, pretending to enjoy it, can let him regain his confidence as a man, shake his spirit and show his majesty, and achieve the double sublimation of both spirits and bodies" and other valuable experiences, all of which were told to He Angelica. It's a bit of a make-up before the exam.

He Angelica listened to her finish with a smile and said that he returned to Yangzhou that day, and with the help of Lu Jiangbei, he helped Lu Fu deal with the causes and consequences of two major murder cases.

Qing'er sighed after hearing this, and also sighed at the death of Huaihua, and said that when the funeral was over, let the A, B, C and Ding of Yihong Courtyard go to Lufu to help. After scolding the black-hearted widow Mrs. Thistle, Qing'er asked again, how did the little vixen of the Thistle Cherry deal with, although it is said that it is not in vain, it is not a person who is full of evil and cannot be killed with a knife, but the mother and daughter of the Ji family have brought a lot of harm to the pearl during this time, and it is really unreasonable not to punish the little girl.

He Angelica smiled: "I bet in my heart that she must know the whole thing about her mother's poisoning and planting pearls - which mother didn't give a few words to her only daughter before committing suicide, and where to put a few pieces of jewelry in the silver ticket, you have to say a few words-but, it's inconvenient for us to torture a delicate daughter to find the truth, even Lu Zhizhou can't bear it, right." If you don't ask what the result is, but you wronged Miss Thistle first, it wouldn't be good to force someone to commit suicide with scissors. Therefore, I asked my uncle to send a grandmother with a raw face to find Miss Thistle in private, and said that after the government exposed the tricks of Mrs. Thistle, the first one was implicated in her, suspecting her of being an accomplice, and wanted to arrest her and send her to prison for two days. ”

Qing'er was puzzled after hearing this: "Thistle cherry is not scared, just saying this, you can't bluff her at all, the government has no real evidence, what can you do with her?" ”

He Angelica explained: "Assuming that she really has a ghost in her heart, then she is at least a little timid to be a thief, and the grandmother saw the opportunity to say that the old lady had prepared a way back for her before she died, and she was prepared for the situation in front of her." ”

"What's the back road?"

"Ask a person dressed as a housekeeper to find Lu Mansion and say that the elder of the clan has died in Ji Cherry's hometown, and he wants to go home to wear hemp and filial piety." He Angelica smiled lightly and said, "Of course Lu Zhizhou will happily release people, and if Ji Cherry has a ghost in his heart, he can't wait to follow the housekeeper, and it is good to go somewhere else to avoid the limelight." ”

After hearing this, Qing'er still asked worriedly: "She left this time, but she still came out to be a junior in the future, relying on her youth and beauty, and she was pitiful and had no mother, so she came to ask for comfort and sabotage." ”

He Angelica was not worried, and replied with a smile: "The housekeeper will take her all the way to Qingzhou, and lie to her that there is a residence arranged for her by Mrs. Ji, but in fact, she will be left alone at the foot of Bu'er Mountain in Qingzhou." I had been to that Bu'er Mountain in my previous life, there was a nunnery on the mountain, which was very suitable for her to practice, surrounded by black water and horse bandits, and it was easy to walk out of a radius of ten miles. When she understood the reason, she found a good family in the local area to marry, which was the best ending, and she was also given a few hundred taels of silver as a dowry in the carriage; If she still doesn't give up on Lu Zhizhou, then Mama and the housekeeper have become witnesses who testify against her 'conspiracy to murder Huaihua', and she will arrest her and go to prison as soon as she returns to Yangzhou. ”

Qing'er smacked her tongue, and secretly gave her a thumbs up in her heart, Xiaoyi is really good, you have to use extraordinary means to deal with extraordinary people, and if you are a little soft-hearted, you will have to give birth to more trouble later. I wanted to teach Xiaoyi a few words of wisdom and wisdom that "women are not ruthless and their status is unstable", but I saw an eleven-year-old little girl Suzi running in outside the door, the girl who was scheduled to be taken away this time.

Su Zi took two big breaths and said, "Miss is not good!" The Meng family's sedan chair is now being carried over, do you want to get on the sedan chair? ”

Qing'er and He Angelica looked at each other, and Qing'er asked first, "What did Lord Lu say?" Who brought the sedan chair over there of the Meng family? Doesn't it mean that genius is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and they can't wait for even one more day? Not...... I remember Meng Ying said that he would have to go back to Shanhaiguan at the end of February, so who is in charge of Qingyuan now? Is Meng Xuan's illness cured? ”

How could the little girl Su Zi answer so many questions, she only said that Lord Lu and other adults were not in the villa now, and she didn't know anything else. Fortunately, there was a Xi Po behind her, who ran over panting, and finally made her words clear: "Miss Wanfu, I am the traction of the sedan chair outside, and there is an order in the garden that the seventh son is not good, let me immediately carry a bride to Chong Chongxi!" If you don't want to get on the sedan chair, the old woman has to look elsewhere! ”
