At three o'clock, in the outer courtyard of Luodong Mansion, in the Xinrong Hall of the main hall.

Duan Xiaolou flew around, but he couldn't find Sister He, who committed suicide by martyrdom, and in desperation, he planned to go back to Xinrong Hall first, ask for more clues and then continue to look for it, but he picked up the unconscious Luo Lao Taijun in the flowers at the entrance of the main hall, so he carried back to the main hall and handed it over to everyone. And after returning to the main hall, Duan Xiaolou, who listened to Mama Tang's narration of "the right thing happened", became even more restless, Sister He and the old lady let the assassins take it away, but now he only picked up one old lady, could it be ...... Sister He has been killed?

When he was about to look for it again, Guan Yun stopped him and said, "Brother Xiaolou, your hand is injured, if you don't bandage it and let it bleed like this, your hand will be wasted!" ”

Duan Xiaolou didn't care about answering her words, he still rushed out like a cow, Guan Yun was anxious, hugged his waist from behind, and persuaded bitterly: "I know that Brother Xiaolou is an old-fashioned and hot-hearted person, and I can't see any women suffering and being killed, but Miss He has been arrested for a long time, and now only an old lady has returned, and what happened is self-evident." Even if you want to help Luo Fu recover her body, wait for me to bandage your wounds before you go, okay? And just now I saw that the four guards of Luo Mansion have already led people to search, maybe I will bandage you, and there will be news over there! ”

When Duan Xiaolou heard the word "corpse", he suddenly struck his soul as if he had been struck by lightning, and repeated in a low voice: "Her ...... Corpse ......"

Guan Yun was puzzled and asked, "Brother Xiaolou, why do you care so much about this Miss He?" Didn't you just meet her? As she spoke, she tore open a clean silk handkerchief to bandage him, and at the same time lowered her voice and told him, "Brother Xiaolou, you don't have to be sad because you can't help Luofu and can't save people, I heard the second miss of Luofu mention (when I go to the toilet) that this Miss He San is actually not a young lady, but a dispensable superfluous person in Luofu, even if you can't help, Mrs. Luo won't blame you......"

Duan Xiaolou still seems to have lost his soul, and keeps repeating the words "corpse" and "corpse" in his heart, why is this happening? He had just come to Luofu, and he had not yet spoken a word of confidant to her alone, and he had not yet been able to pour out a lovesickness in his chest to her, but he did not expect that the last time she was separated in the Taoist temple, her sentence "I wish you peace, please cherish all the way" will become a farewell! Hearing Guan Yun's words questioning that he cared too much about this matter, he was even more miserable, yes, he is now a "new acquaintance" of Sister He, and he can't even care too much about her......

On the other side, after Mama Tang poured a bowl of eight-treasure wolfberry tea for the old lady, the old lady finally woke up leisurely, and Peng gradually immediately ran up and asked, "Old lady, why did you faint outside the hall?" What about the third sister? ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and Fang opened her eyes wide and said, "Sister Yi?!" She didn't come back? That must have been taken by that person! All she remembered was that the assassin had caught himself with one hand and his granddaughter with the other and rushed out of the door, and when he had gone out, he drank in a deep voice, and he actually rose to the sky, and flew up with the two of them, and at that time he felt that his whole body was weak, and his eyes were black, and he knew nothing. Now that she has woken up in the main hall and her granddaughter has not returned, she must have been captured by the assassin and taken hostage in her place!

Seeing this, Peng Shi hurriedly went up to stop him, calmly stopped him, and said: "Don't you see how powerful the devil's martial arts are, what can you do if you go?" It's better to be calm and wait here. ”

Peng gradually glanced at his brother resentfully, and said: "If it weren't for what you said just now, 'Don't be impatient, move the camera, and wait for Baoding Bo to come and then rescue the hostages from inside and outside,' it won't make me unable to do anything, and seeing that the third sister has also become a hostage, it's all your fault!" ”

Peng Shi said coldly: "Don't play with the child's temper anymore, this time my mother handed you over to me to take care of, I must not let you be stupid to do stupid things, if you want to blame me, even if you blame me, you must not go." ”

At the same time as the two were at a stalemate, Peng gradually turned his head to see Meng Xuan's stinky boy again, and saw that he was still sitting by the tea table and fiddling with those tea sets, and suddenly became angry, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Meng Xuan! I didn't expect you to be so cold-blooded, two people kidnapped you in front of you but didn't do anything, and now you still have the leisure to drink tea there, why don't you drink to death! ”

And Meng Xuan, who was pointed at his nose and scolded, didn't even lift his eyelids, he still lowered his head for a while to smell the tea caniss, and shone a light on the snow porcelain teacup for a while, as if admiring these exquisite porcelain.

Peng Shi was afraid that his younger brother would say something more excessive, so he dragged him to the other end of the hall, even if he couldn't have a good relationship with Baoding Bo's son, he couldn't offend him.

Before the two of them went to Yang, his father had specially called and instructed Dean Bai of Chengxu Academy to be his old friend, so that he could ask Dean Bai for help when the two of them were in trouble. The father said that this time they were transferred to Chengxu to study, one is that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is very satisfied with the two of them, and wants to summon them to the East Palace next year to study, hoping that they can sharpen more before this, and make great progress in officialdom, articles and martial arts; The second is the meaning of his grandfather, who wants the two of them to live in Yangzhou for a year and a half, to see if they can meet the old lady and return from his travels, and take the opportunity to learn one or two tricks of his Sanqing acupuncture method and the way of dealing with the world as an official.

Peng Shi was very fascinated by the old lady, so he immediately agreed to transfer to Yangzhou to study at Chengxu Academy; And Peng gradually has always been silently fond of Dao Shengbai Yangbai, as early as half a month ago, he heard that the Holy Lord was going to Chengxu to teach, but he hated not to listen to the teachings, and at this moment he heard that there was such a good thing of transferring to another school, so he naturally agreed with both hands. So the two brothers came to Yangzhou and lived in Luodong Mansion.

On that day, my mother sent them to Luodong Mansion, and before returning to the capital, she specially instructed them that there were many young ladies living in the East Mansion and the West Mansion, and there were four or five of them of the same age, so that they must not play with them on weekdays.

At that time, Peng gradually asked strangely, why can't he be involved in the relationship between the East and the West? The mother shook her head and did not answer, which made the second monk Peng gradually confused.

Peng Shi also secretly wondered in his heart, don't the elders like to kiss the most, and her mother is also surnamed Luo, why would she oppose finding a daughter-in-law of the Luo family? Besides, Luo Fu is an old aristocrat, with a high family and strict rules, so the young lady who must have taught him is also excellent. Of course, Peng Shi didn't ask these words, since his mother told them like this, she must have her reasons, so Peng Shi solemnly promised his mother that he would take his younger brother away from Miss Luofu. Only then did my mother happily return to Beijing.

Right now, looking at the stupid brother who was so anxious for the third sister of Dongfu that he pounded the wall again and again, Peng Shi couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, looking at his frizzy appearance, could it be that he still liked that girl? No, when I go back to the room at night, I must train him well, so that he will die immediately! No matter if that girl can come back alive or not, she can't let her brother like her!

Living in Luofu these days, Peng Shi vaguely heard that the third sister was the daughter of the aunt of Dongfu, a concubine who was swept out of the house by her father's family, and now she is fostered in Dongfu, and she was fostered in the farm for a few years when she was a child, so she will never be able to enter the door of his Peng family. And the last time I saw her in Rabbit Town, her sharp words made her brother's face red, and when she saw her again at today's banquet, she seemed to be a different person, most of the time she hung her head and didn't speak, as if she was very well-behaved and docile, if she hadn't had an impression of her for a long time, even she couldn't see that she was pretending.

The Guan family brothers and sisters and Duan Shaoshan were late, and when they entered the table, the old lady asked her to give up her seat to Miss Guan San, and the people of Luofu didn't say a word when they heard the words, and when they came up, they removed all the dishes and chopsticks in front of her, and there was a more excessive servant woman, and as soon as she stood up, she went to wipe the stool she had sat on. In front of everyone's eyes, what an embarrassing and humiliating thing this is, for ordinary girls, no matter how thick-skinned and strong-minded they are, they can't help but be angry or angry, or cry, or run away from the table under the pretext of leaving and crying in a place where no one is around.

But the third sister didn't even raise her eyelids, and there was even a hint of a light smile of unknown meaning on the corner of her lips. The old lady was busy beckoning the guests to leave her out in the cold, so she obediently retreated to the last seat at the gate and drank a cup of leftover tea silently, what a stoic heart and deep city mansion! If this woman could not be sure that there would be a way to make up for today's humiliation in the future, how could she taste the bitter fruits so calmly?

In short, Peng Shi firmly believes that these three sisters are a disaster, and if they get involved, they will be in trouble, so they must not let their younger brother be friends with her, and they must not even talk to her. In addition, the disgusting Miss Luo Er, not only dived into the water and pretended to be stunned to deceive herself to save her, but also stared at herself with eyes at every turn, which made him annoyed, so he firmly believed that his mother's words "Don't play with Miss Luo Fu on weekdays" were extremely correct.

On the top of the main hall, just as Peng Shi was rejoicing, Peng gradually pounded the wall, Meng Xuan sat in meditation, Duan Xiaolou lost his soul, and the old lady cried "Sister Yi is short-lived", a fifteen or sixteen-year-old blue-clothed little man ran into the hall panting, held on to the door frame and took a breath, and shouted loudly:

"My sister asked me to come over and report to the old lady, saying that she has been rescued now and has not been injured at all, but because she was too frightened to go back to the Taoyao Hospital to rest, she will not come to say hello to the old lady."

※※※

"You are Liao Qing'er? Liao Zhiyuan's sister?! Gao Jue's two eyebrows were twisted together, and he stared at the purple-clothed girl, although among the five girls, she wore the best clothes, the most arrogant expression on her face, and the most vivid expression of the whole person, but ...... How could she be the sister of that guy from the bobcat?

The girl in purple raised her eyebrows, raised her head and said, "Of course, who are you?" A long ponytail on the back of her head swayed twice with her movements.

Gao Jue still refused to believe it, so he turned his head to look at the four girls dressed as maids, two of them were watery and fair-skinned, Gao Jue remembered that Liao Zhiyuan had said that his sister was very cunning and treacherous, so Gao Jue suspected that the woman had changed into the maid's clothes to hide people's eyes and ears, and avoid the Liao family sending someone to arrest her. Thinking like this, Gao Jue looked at the two water spirit maids and said sharply: "One of you is Liao Qing'er, right?" ”

Man Bing and Nei Ding shook their four little hands and said neatly: "We are the Mannai combination, we are the maids of the young lady!" Jin Jia and Yin Yi also testified: "That is really our young lady!" ”

Gao Jue turned around to look at the purple-clothed girl again, and reluctantly accepted the fact that she was Liao Zhiyuan's sister. The woman looked to be about sixteen years old, the tallest of all the girls, and generally looked round—a round head, a round face, round eyes, a round nose, a round body, and a round fist, waving up and down with hostility, and exclaiming, "Why are you looking for me, are you a spy sent by my brother?" ”

This girl, whether you look horizontally and vertically, or sideways and upside down, is round and fat, although her facial features are delicate and her appearance is not bad, but she can't make Gao Jue and Liao Zhiyuan's description of "a beautiful woman, with a huge amount of money, no martial arts, but a lamb to be slaughtered in the eyes of the robber mountain kings from all walks of life", strange, Liao Zhiyuan can be regarded as a good skin, and he has practiced martial arts all year round, how can he raise such a mellow sister? And didn't Liao Zhiyuan also say that his sister only brought one maid, why are there four here?

But these are the second questions, the most important of which is - "I heard that your family has a very good wine, and your brother said that you made it, is this true?" Gao Jue asked condescendingly staring at the other party.

Liao Qing'er blinked her round eyes twice, put on a shrewd expression and said, "It turns out that you are really a spy sent by my brother, are you going to arrest me and go home now?" Don't go back, resolutely don't go back! What benefits did my brother give you? How about I hire you twice as much to help me? ”

"Do you make wine, that kind of wine with a sandalwood scent?" Gao Jue repeated his question.

Liao Qing'er propped her chin with her chubby fingers and said, "It turns out that you want that kind of wine, that's right, that distilled champagne was made by me, but that one is very troublesome, so you may have to wait a month or two...... Feed! Tall man, what do you want to do? She watched in surprise as the other party took out a large roll of rope from her sleeve, stepped forward and tied her hands, and then the other party seemed to think a little, and tied up the four little maids who had been stunned in the same way, because the rope was extremely long, so the five people looked like a string of fungus were strung into a long lift.

Gao Jue held the end of the rope and announced to them: "I am going to take you back to the Liao family in the capital now, you had better be honest on the road and take care of your mouth, if you dare to have a little unruly, this snake is the flaunt of you!" As he spoke, he threw the flimpy snake at their feet.
