"Miss...... Miss? ”

The voice of Taozhi's call seemed to come from a very distant place, and it took a long time to bring Dong Qianmo back to reality.

As soon as he raised his head, the tears on Dong Qianmo's face suddenly frightened Taozhi, and he hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you uncomfortable?" Where are you uncomfortable, miss? ”

Dong Qianmo shook his head and said, "Probably because of the wind and cold, I burst into tears when I saw the wind." ”

When she mentioned this, Taozhi was very angry, and said in a sloppy tone: "It's too bad for them, they used to be too lazy to doze in the sun in the yard, but the day before Miss was going out, they suddenly became more diligent than the other, and washed all the padded dresses that Miss could wear when she went out." ”

Taozhi is talking about the three or two little maids who are responsible for washing the pulp in the wind and rain Zhai.

"Don't care, they just listen to their master's orders." Dong Qianmo said lightly.

"Listen to the master?" Momozhi was puzzled, "But Miss, why did you let them wash cotton clothes?" It's so cold on the mountain, so I'm wearing it at this time. ”

Dong Qianmo smiled at Taozhi's innocence, "Their master just wants me to have no warm clothes and wants me to suffer a little." Who do you think their master is? ”

"Could it be the lady and the second lady?" Momoeda guessed.

Dong Qianmo shook his head, "If it were a mother, she could be less obvious, she could make me suffer without letting others pick on me." ”

"It's not Madame, who is that?"

"Now I don't know, let's see as we go, it's the fox that always shows its tail."

"By the way, Miss," Tao Zhi brought two plates of ice skin dim sum to Dong Qianmo, "Just now Mama Wang sent this, saying that in the past two days, Mrs. and Second Miss will go to retreat and go to Zen, and they will not eat and live with you, I am afraid that Miss You will not be used to eating the food in the nunnery, so use this concoction to adjust." ”

Dong Qianmo picked up a plum cake, sniffed it gently, frowned, and threw the plum cake back on the plate.

Taozhi asked, "Miss, do you want to eat, I'll make you a bowl of tea and soup and eat two pieces, right?" ”

"No," Dong Qianmo said, "I heard that the freshly made plum crisp is too sour, and it will take two or three days to taste good." ”

"What does the young lady want to eat now?"

"I'm in the valley today, you can go to the kitchen and find something to pad it on."

Dong Qianmo saw Taozhi's eyes sneaking around, and looked at the two plates of dim sum with a little greed, Dong Qianmo immediately put on a straight face and reprimanded, "You are not allowed to steal my dim sum, I order a good number here, and one less will make you pay!" I won't take you with me when I go out in the future! ”

Momoeda pouted and left unhappily.

********

The mountains are lonely, and after dark, there is a dead silence in the temple, and there seems to be no living person.

Dong Qianmo and Taozhi lay down together, Taozhi's head fell asleep as soon as it was stained with a bamboo pillow, Dong Qianmo tossed and turned left and right twice, sideways his ears, and quietly listened to a voice from afar.

It seemed to be pain, like torture, like a cry, like the cry of a young girl.

Most of the women in this nunnery are old, and the only two young ones are Dong Xuanying and Dong Qianmo.

In this way, this cry is likely to be made by Dong Xuanying.

Dong Qianmo got up in his clothes and pushed the door out.

In the silent night, following the sound of pain that came and went, Dong Qianmo kept walking, and finally stopped in front of the Jizo Bodhisattva Hall. The voice stopped at this time, and as soon as Dong Qianmo's hand touched the door of the main hall, someone behind him spoke-

"It's not good for the fourth lady to walk around without sleep in the middle of the night, the road is slippery in the dark, how can it be good if you step on the edge of the cliff?"

It is Dong Xuanying's grandmother.

Dong Qianmo turned his head, blinked timidly and asked, "This is inside the nunnery, how can there be a cliff?" The cliffs should all be outside the mountain gate. ”

Ju Mama twisted her lips and smiled: "Fourth Miss doesn't know, this Caigen Nunnery has been in disrepair for a long time, and the walls in many places have collapsed. It's hard to say what happened to you like this. ”

Dong Qianmo covered his mouth in surprise and said, "Really? That's bad, I just saw the second sister heading towards a collapsed wall, so isn't she very dangerous? Let's go find out. ”

Ju Mama said: "Impossible, the second miss is more obedient than the fourth miss, she won't walk around." ”

"But I still seem to hear that the second sister is shouting at her mother and asking her mother to save her."

"Fourth Miss must have been lost in sleep and had some nightmare, right?"

"Yes," Dong Qianmo said suspiciously, "That's right, the mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and any spirit and monster may come out and fall into my dreams." ”

"Fourth Miss is right to think so."

"It was late, I went back to my room to rest."

"Remember to bolt the door properly," Mama Ju reminded, "it's not as peaceful as it is at home." ”

"I see."

A gust of night wind blew, and Dong Qianmo, who was thinly dressed, shivered from the cold, and the sachet on his waist made a crisp "ding" sound and fell to the ground.

Dong Qianmo suddenly panicked, hurriedly picked up the sachet, opened it to take a closer look, and found that the thing was intact, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

She cherished the sachet in her arms, smiled at Mama Ju, and said goodbye: "Then I'll go back to sleep, Mama, you can rest early." ”

"Miss Four, walk slowly."

Mama Ju looked at Dong Qianmo's back, puzzled by the scene just now, although the moon was dim, although that thing was immediately collected, but the texture of that piece of jade was by no means ordinary.

How could the fourth lady have such a good jade wrench?

A wrench is something that only men wear.

The fourth lady is a deep lady, except for the old man and King Yu, it is difficult for her to see other men.

Thinking of this, Mama Ju's face changed sharply, and she walked outside the lady's room in three steps and two steps, and quietly knocked on the door.

"Come in." Song was wearing a half-worn purple silk gown, with a flat bun, and was writing a letter to his family, when he saw Mama Ju coming in, he looked up and asked, "How is Xuanying's situation?" What does the Ritsu Master say? ”

Mama Ju sighed, shook her head and said, "Mrs. said that Miss once ate a lot of sea lotus powder, and it is estimated that it is difficult to completely eradicate it, and Mrs. Shi is still trying several other methods." ”

"Eat a lot? Xuan Ying has only eaten that bowl of blood swallow porridge? ”

"It should be the problem with that bowl of porridge." Ju Mama said.

Song threw the brush into the pen wash, frowned and said, "Recently, my eyelids are always jumping, and I always feel that something bad has happened at home, and I can't tell what it is. That bowl of porridge is a mystery, obviously a bowl of sweet porridge was served on the table, why did it become like that later? ”

Ju Mama thought about it, and said firmly in the last bite: "If it is sweet porridge when it is served on the table, then it is the person who has touched the bowl of porridge who has done something on it!" ”

"You mean the four girls?" Song was stunned, "Even if she can think of it, she doesn't have the courage to do it." ”

"The cowardice is bold, and it all depends on how much advantage there is." Ju Mama said.

"What do you mean?"

Mama Ju made the words clear and said: "Who in the whole family doesn't know that the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Yu will be among the four young ladies of our family." The fifth lady is too young, and she is a concubine, and it is not her turn. Although the third lady's mother-in-law, Tang, is the old lady's niece, which makes the old lady and the old man prefer her, but her temperament follows her mother and cannot be on the big stage. Of the remaining two, the second lady is a concubine, but the fourth lady is also a concubine in the end, and she can't tell what she thinks. ”

Song thought about it and said: "Although the news that Wei Qihua wanted the four girls spread, but the four girls didn't dare to respond in the end, which shows that she is even more jealous of me between me and Wei Qihua." Wei Qihua pinched her wealth, but I pinched her life. ”

"Groundless wind may not be without a reason," Mama Ju advised, "Yesterday the old slave also heard a few maids rumored that King Yu and the fourth lady walked through the garden alone. The fourth young lady has a big heart, and it is not impossible to fly on the branches and become a phoenix. ”

Song nodded and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, I don't believe that a card that has been pressed under my hand for sixteen years has the courage to turn the sky upside down." Since she learned our secret half a year ago, now whether she lives or dies is up to me. ”

"Yes," Mama Ju also echoed, "The second lady of our family is a fairy-like figure, and no one can compare to her." ”

Song gritted his teeth: "No matter what, we must let Master Ri Nian help Xuanying tide over this difficulty, and we can't let Xuanying get a grain of sea lotus powder again!" You go over there and keep an eye on it, and report to me if you have something. ”

"Yes!"

Closing the door and going out, Ju Mama left hesitantly.

Originally, she was going to tell her lady about the jade wrench, but first, there are priorities, and there is nothing more important than the second lady's drug addiction.

The second came in a flash, and it was not very real, so it was better to wait until I returned to the Dong Mansion, and then send a message to the fourth lady's personal maid May to find it. If it was really the fourth lady who received the love token from King Yu, then she would have killed herself.

Ju Mama carried a lantern and walked back, and a flock of night crows flew overhead, but she didn't care.

If she looked up at this time, she could see a flower-faced man in a night suit.

He stepped on one foot on a light feather on the back of a slender night crow, and slowly swept through the night sky, like a ghost.

At the same time, he also drinks at a leisurely pace.

When he passed directly above Mama Ju's head, he looked up to the sky and took a sip, spilling a little wine.

Ju Mama felt that the back of her hand was cold, and looked up at the sky, at this time, the flower-faced man was gone, and there were three or two night crows in the entire sky.

"The weather in the mountains is really wind and rain." Mama Ju complained and hurried away.

Of course, she didn't know that the flower-faced man who had just been drinking in the sky was now standing behind her with a smile and a smile, and silently followed her into the Jizo Bodhisattva Hall.

As soon as you enter the main hall, you can see a huge Buddha statue covered with dust and cobwebs, Ju Mama pulled the candlestick mechanism, and a small door of primary color opened at the foot of the Buddha statue, and Ju Mama bent down and walked in.

After the tea was finished, the flower-faced man also walked into the small door in the same way.

Behind the small door was a long corridor, with three or five oil lamps on the stone walls on both sides, and it had not reached the end of a quarter of an hour.

At this moment, there was a very mournful cry from the girl at the end—

"No, I'm gone! Let me go, untie the rope, or I'll let my mother kill you all!" Ahh

It was Dong Xuanying in the secret room who shouted, and there were two nuns guarding outside the door of the secret room, one covering her ears and the other shrinking her shoulders, all afraid of listening to Dong Xuanying's screams.

"Pap" and "Pap" flicked, and the two nuns suddenly froze.

The flower-faced man strode forward, studied the stone door of the secret room for a moment, and then pushed open a thin slit to observe secretly.

As the tea hour passed, he shook his head gently and sighed.

"Sure enough, the sea lotus powder is still incomprehensible."

After he left, there were two more flicks, "pop" and "pop", and the two nuns instantly returned to consciousness.

One man said, "Why did you hit me just now?" ”

The other said, "You pushed me, right, the wicked will sue first." ”

********

A slender figure walked out from behind the door under the Buddha statue, pacing out of the Buddha hall step by step, with a thoughtful expression.

In the center of the courtyard where no one is around, the elegant index finger and middle finger are gently clamped, and under the hollow plum blossom mask embroidered by silk Shu, the true face is revealed.

Under the moonlight, the long body is jade, the eyebrows are down, and the wind god is overwhelming, who is it not He Jianxiao.
