Lu Jiangbei frowned, but he was not offended by this question, but puzzled: "I am half a year younger than Gao Jue, what do you mean by 'too far behind'?" Everyone has a love for beauty, Miss He is a rare beauty, I have some admiration, and I am not polite, is it not okay? ”

Liao Zhiyuan didn't answer and asked, "Do you want this dagger?" ”

Lu Jiangbei glanced at it twice more in his palm, put the knife into the sheath and handed it to Liao Zhiyuan, and said with a smile: "Didn't you just say that you were going to sell it to Duan Shao, how can I take away the beauty of people?" The next time you make another one, maybe I'll buy it for fifty taels of silver. ”

Liao Zhiyuan shook his finger and said shrewdly: "Ask for white feathers from white sparrows, ask for flower feathers from flower finches, and ask Duan Shao for a hundred taels of silver, because his strength is that he can't spend enough silver, and boss, your strength is that you can't use up your true qi...... It's better to do this, I'll sell another one to Duan Shao to him, boss, this dagger will be given to you as a souvenir, but that push-back connection or something......"

Lu Jiangbei couldn't help but be amused by him: "It turns out that you are still for this!" Lazy cats, gluttonous cats, drunk cats, plus a wealth cat, they are all taken up by you! ”

Liao Zhiyuan was unconvinced and said: "You don't suffer a loss, look at this natural ingenuity, natural and smooth knife work, and then think about the hardships I paid for the small statue from the surname Qi, and the price I paid for it in the production process-" Shine the injured finger again, "- Now the boss, you can have it as long as you help me gain a little skill, it's simply the 'jumping price' that my sister often talks about!" ”

"By the way," Lu Jiangbei suddenly withdrew his smile and asked in a deep voice, "You said that Qi Xuanyu discovered a shocking secret after seeing Miss He's small statue, what is the secret?" ”

"Oh, you ask that," Liao Zhiyuan recalled with a yawn, "Ha-huh, he seems to be saying that He Xiaoniu's small statue is very similar to a person he has seen, and it is not similar to the general degree, the surname Qi said, this small statue seems to be hinged out compared to that person." ”

Lu Jiangbei's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked with bated breath: "Could it be Ling Miaochun, the deceased wife of Gao Jue?" That's why he ...... her."

"No, after Liao Gongzi carved the dagger yesterday, I peeked at it a few times," Liu Sui walked in with two pots of steaming daughter Hong, and answered him crisply, "Although the woman engraved on the dagger is very beautiful, I have never seen a real person who looks like her, and I don't feel familiar, that woman has no resemblance to my eldest lady Ling Miaochun!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Lu Jiangbei was surprised, but even Liao Zhiyuan's half-yawn stopped.

After learning that He Angelica was Ling Miaochun's cousin, they all preconceived that Gao Absolutely He Angelica's unusual and strange attitude was only because she looked too much like Gao Jue's beloved. Because this point of view was too firm and convincing, they didn't even ask Gao Jue for verification, whether He Angelica looked like the dead Ling Miaochun.

Although Liao Zhiyuan has a ready-made acquaintance with Ling Miaochun's willow spike, he has limited interest in He Angelica, and carving her small statue is also to make money, so he didn't ask Liu Sui, this small statue is not like her eldest lady's portrait.

Lu Jiangbei and Liao Zhiyuan looked at each other, Gao definitely became interested in a woman who didn't look like Ling Miaochun? Could it be that he really liked her, and was not looking for Ling Miaochun's stand-in? And these two friends, regardless of whether they asked about the ruthlessness of Gao Jue, always regarded other women as Ling Miaochun, and finally forced Gao Jue to say ruthlessly that he would never see He Angelica again in this life. Could it be that these two friends of theirs did a disservice once, just because they didn't want Gao Jue, Duan Shao and He Angelica to fall into the entanglement of the three of them, they cruelly strangled the little love seedlings in Gao Jue's heart?

Lu Jiangbei further thought that since He Angelica and Ling Miaochun's appearances were not the slightest similar, who was the person Qi Xuanyu who looked almost the same as He Angelica that Tianjizi Qi Xuanyu said? Strange, even if there are really two people in the world who don't know each other who look exactly the same, at most it is really strange or funny for others to say a word, it is not a shocking secret, right? Why did he let a handsome character like Qi Xuanyu, who "couldn't get on the boat when the Son of Heaven called", so concerned, and went to the Long Night Pavilion to investigate He Angelica's life experience?

"Lynx, what are Qi Xuanyu's original words? You repeat. Lu Jiangbei stared at Liao Zhiyuan, "Didn't he mention who the person who is similar to He Angelica is?" ”

Liao Zhiyuan scratched his eyelids in distress, shrugged his shoulders and said: "He didn't mention this, and I didn't ask, because at that time we already learned that He Angelica and Ling Miaochun were related to his aunt and cousin, I thought he was talking about Ling Miaochun, and you know that he likes to pretend to be a ghost the most, and only a stupid hat takes his words seriously!" Besides, as soon as I saw the small statue he took out, I was thinking about how I could get it, and then I went to exchange it with Duan Shao for some silver flowers......

Lu Jiangbei thought for a while, and discussed with Liao Zhiyuan: "Bobcat, I think there is a lot of article here, you go back to Beijing tomorrow and ask Qi Xuanyu again, okay?" You also know that this person looks cynical on the surface and doesn't care about anything, but in fact, the city is quite deep, and he simply doesn't get in the oil and salt. I worked with him as an official for the Holy Lord, and they were of the same rank and rank, and I wanted to make friends with him many times in the past, but he played me enough. We are the only one in Jinyi Weifu who has a similar temper with him, and he can talk in private, and I don't have much communication with him on official matters, if I go to him because of private matters, it will inevitably cause him to misunderstand. ”

"I'm also very curious about this matter, but the surnamed Qi has always been a god dragon, only he takes the initiative to find others, and others make a special trip to find him, if you can find the evil one!" Liao Zhiyuan grabbed his daughter Hong, who had been scalded by Liu Sui, took two sips, and said, "Even if you go to Qi Mansion to live and wait, there is not much hope that you can wait for him, not to mention that his father is a nasty old pervert, I can't eat or drink when I see his father, and I won't go to kill him!" ”

Lu Jiangbei shot like lightning, grabbed Liao Zhiyuan's cheeks, and reprimanded him: "Phew, even the saint respects the great master, what are you talking nonsense, beware of trouble coming out of your mouth!" Don't say that again! Besides, as far as I know, the great master Qi Jing has been pure and has few desires for many years, and he is not close to women, and he is definitely not the old pervert in your mouth, why do you always like to give others random nicknames? ”

Liao Zhiyuan regained his cheeks, and muttered angrily: "Who wronged him, I think Qi Jing is a hypocrite, if he is really not close to women, there will be no Qi Xuanyu in the world." Boss, do you know, once I was shopping at a temple fair with my sister Qing'er, and I was having a good time, I suddenly felt cold on my back and back of my neck, as if someone was peeping at us, so I pulled Qing'er to squat down next to the roadside stall. I pretended to look at the jade artifact in front of the sun, but in fact I secretly searched for the voyeur, and finally I found out that the guy was none other than the hypocrite! ”

Lu Jiangbei raised his eyebrows: "Are you saying that the great master followed you and peeked at you shopping?" How is this possible? I think it was probably a misunderstanding, he was going to come up to greet you, but then he didn't bother you when he saw that you were having fun, and then you happened to see it and caused a misunderstanding. ”

Liao Zhiyuan was so angry that he slapped Lu Jiangbei's shoulder, and said urgently: "I didn't misunderstand him, at that time, the old man was staring at my Qing'er with good eyes!" ”

Lu Jiangbei took half a step back, for some reason his face became a little pale, and just when he was about to say something, he suddenly coughed fiercely and continuously a few times. After a while, he gradually calmed down, but a bright red line of blood spilled from the corners of his pursed lips, slid across the graceful curve of his jaw, and finally dripped onto his bright green uniform.

"What did you say?" The soup cup in the old lady's hand was crooked, and the snow-white soup was poured on her flower feather gown, frowning, and said, "I don't understand, what does it mean that Sister Yi 'has long dreamed that Brother Zhu will die'?" Sister Yi'er has been away from home for more than half a month, and she doesn't know about Brother Zhu'er's illness at all, how can she dream of this! ”

Mama Tang hurriedly grabbed a handkerchief from the small table to clean up the soup for the old lady, and corrected her words: "Old lady, don't be so excited, it's the old slave who is about to say something wrong for a while, the original words of the third lady are not like this, and the dream of 'Brother Zhu will die' is also guessed by the old slave according to the meaning of her words." ”

The old lady put away Mama Tang's hand and said anxiously: "Don't wipe it, don't wipe it, the more I listen, the more confused I become, you repeat what Sister Yi said to me as it is!" What kind of evil god has our family encountered, strange things come one after another, Sister Yi lives in the mountains outside the city, why is it related to Brother Zhu at home! Thinking of the eldest daughter-in-law Zhao, the second daughter-in-law Sun, and the eldest granddaughter-in-law Dong have all mentioned the "He Angelica Demon Saying", the old lady clenched the purple satin swastika ruyi pattern bedding under her hand.

Mama Tang sat down on the footrest next to the bed, took a deep breath, stared at the jumping candle flame and recalled: "At the beginning, the third lady asked me hesitantly, 'Is there someone in Luofu who is sick, and is the sick person one of the twins, Wei Ge'er and Zhu Ge'er?' Naturally, I was surprised and asked her where she had found out, and she replied that she had dreamed of it, but I was not convinced, so I continued to ask her about the details of the dream. The third lady looked very frightened, and only briefly mentioned that it was a nightmare, and said that it was told to her by an old fairy in the dream. I listened to the meaning of her words, which clearly implied that 'Brother Zhu is about to die soon', and when I left Luofu before, Brother Zhu at home could still eat and sleep without much problem, so I stopped her from talking any further, and told her not to mention it to others in the future, so as not to offend the people on the grandmother's side with inappropriate words. The third lady also followed my advice, so we stopped talking about the topic. ”

The old lady listened to Mama Tang's words with bated breath, although it was covered with traces of wind and frost of the years, her face, which could still be called "beautiful", was cloudy and uncertain.

"Later, when I returned home, as soon as I entered the door, I saw that the red lanterns in the house had been replaced by white lanterns, and I quickly asked the little girl what was wrong, and then I learned the news that Brother Zhu'er was critically ill." Mama Tang rubbed her red and swollen palms, sighed and said, "Brother Zhu is well-behaved and sensible, he is a good boy on the tip of everyone's heart in our Luo Mansion, I can hear this bad news, I am distressed and frightened, I didn't expect that Miss San's dream came true." The old slave pondered what the third lady said at the time, but still couldn't understand the mystery in it, so he woke up the old lady late at night and wanted to tell you about this strange thing. ”

The five nails of the old lady's left hand sank deep into her right wrist, and her voice left a trembling echo in the empty room: "Could it be that Mei Niang asked Li Xiangshi to calculate a hexagram that day...... Say that there is a wicked woman in our family...... Is that true? ”

It's all true?

It's true?

It's true?
