Shi Jiong said coldly: "Lord Liu has repeatedly sent letters to me that I will marry the fourth daughter of Master Dong, saying that it will come in handy in the future." But when I asked him why, he wouldn't tell him. ”

Li Zhouyu asked: "Have you made up your mind yourself, twelve, do you really want to marry her?" ”

Shi Jiong said: "Since you have already explained the Dong family, why don't you marry?" Just replaced the fairy pendant, and every time that girl saw me, she picked her nose and eyes, and she was annoyed. Several times I wanted to withdraw from my family, but Lord Liu refused to let me marry a daughter of the Dong family. ”

Li Zhouyu said: "That's a person who wants to live a lifetime, it's not child's play, I advise you not to act rashly." I watched coldly, that fourth lady was too abnormal. ”

"What's out of the ordinary? Isn't she a good daughter taught by Mrs. Dong? Shi Jiong's words were mocking, "I don't know what method Master Dong used to teach her, she is even more obedient than a whip, and a hemp rope was handed over to her to hang herself, and she is probably obedient." ”

"Something is wrong," Li Zhouyu shook his head, "I don't believe that Fourth Miss is a submissive woman." ”

"What's wrong?" Shi Jiong was disdainful.

"Looks."

"Eyes?"

"Her eyes are too calm," Li Zhouyu frowned, "Before, their sisters eavesdropped outside the house, heard that you are murderous, and said that they want to marry her, which woman is not afraid?" ”

"Lao Tzu has no murderous nature!" Shi Jiong was dissatisfied.

Li Zhouyu ignored his complaints and continued: "No matter how obedient she is, it's too strange to hear that she is going to marry a murderous guard, and she shows calmness and concession that does not match her age. Mrs. Dong thought she didn't know anything about you, so she agreed to marry you, but Mrs. Dong would never have thought that her granddaughter was actually playing with everyone. ”

"Lao Tzu didn't kill like hemp! And what's wrong with my personality, boss, you make it clear! Shi Jiong's focus is in a completely different place.

He didn't care who the woman he wanted to marry had played with, and what scheming he planned to play, anyway, a sedan chair was carried into the mansion, worshipped in the hall, and the house was hollowed, and what kind of woman only had to cry.

Li Zhouyu shook his head: "That girl is a mystery, I can't even guess what her purpose is." It seems that in addition to Mrs. Dong, there is another tricky person in the Dong family. ”

Shi Jiong said: "Aren't you going to the matchmaker for me tomorrow?" Just make a quick decision, and marry her back to Lao Tzu's house next month, when Lao Tzu asks her to call the earth and the earth not to work, and see whose hand she can pierce! ”

"Don't talk nonsense anymore, twelve," Li Zhouyu threw Shi Jiong a roll of his eyes, "You just shout fiercely, how can you ever see you settle a woman, even your own cousin Dong Xianpei can scold you a bloody dog, and you only have the share of silence." ”

"Lao Tzu has a knife, a whip, and a fist!" Shi Jiong shows a pair of tiger fists.

"Have you ever punched a woman?" Li Zhouyu pierced Shi Jiong's paper tiger with a word.

"The next time we meet, I'll try my fist with that fourth lady," Shi Jiong's eyes shot a cold light, gritted his teeth and said, "I must force you to ask why Liu Youcheng pays special attention to her." ”

Li Zhouyu looked down and said slowly: "Not only Youcheng, but now I also want to know the origin of the fourth lady." ”

"Phew! I have a great idea! Shi Jiong said.

"What's a good idea?"

"Why don't we go back now, put that chick in a sack and drag it to a secluded and uninhabited place, and torture her, I'm not afraid that she won't confess!" Shi Jiong rubbed his hands.

"Kidnapping the daughter of Taishi Dong from the Dong Mansion?" Li Zhouyu dismissed, "I'll talk about my dreams when I wake up." ”

"You don't dare, I dare." Shi Jiong snorted with him.

Li Zhouyu nodded: "Okay, if you really kid her up and torture her, I respect you as a man." When the result of the torture comes out, remember to notify me. ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving an indignant Shi Jiong.

********

In the Dong Mansion, under the surface of the quiet lake, a dark tide stirred up, and the first person to push the waves with his slender hands was not worried about what would happen next at the moment.

Under the pear tree of Fengyuzhai, Dong Qianmo set up an easel and carefully depicted several mandala flower patterns.

"Have you quit Aunt Tang's nephew's family affairs, miss?" May cross-examination.

"Hmm."

"Can you marry into the Yuzhang Palace, Miss?" May is full of hope.

"Hmm."

"Then can you take the slave with you?" May can't wait.

"Nope."

"Why not," May glanced back at Peach Branch, "Does Miss want to bring that girl from Peach Branch to marry?" She was three years younger than the slave maid, and she was clumsy. ”

"Don't make noise in my ears, my tricks are going to be broken." Dong Qianmo frowned.

"This is a camellia, Miss, you are about to get married, let's draw two dragons and phoenixes!" May proposed.

"No, this trick is what the second sister is anxious to get, and I have to do it in the next two days." Dong Qianmo instructed, "You call the three little maids who were very diligent last time and washed all my clothes before I went out." ”

"What are you doing with the three of them," said May, unpleasantly, "those three Nizi are not good things, I don't know who is poking them in the back." ”

"I've got good errands for them."

"It's better for the slave to do it for you." May Attentive Talk.

Dong Qianmo gave her a cold look: "You have done enough good deeds, and I haven't even settled accounts with you when you give away my things without authorization." ”

May muttered, "Isn't it just an old piano?" ”

"I'm not talking about the piano."

"Huh? What is that? ”

"Go and call the three maids, and I will forgive you." Dong Qianmo reiterated.

May had no choice but to do so, and called the three of the most sinister people in the courtyard and told them, "Miss is looking for you." ”

The three of them exchanged glances, and then walked to the pear tree one by one, stood in front of Dong Qianmo, and asked cautiously, "What do you have to say?" ”

Dong Qianmo, who lowered his head to draw flowers, raised his eyes, his eyes swept over the faces of each of them, with a little smile, Dong Qianmo said: "I heard that the third sister's Gu Liju has been busy embroidering pillowcases and quilt covers for marriage these days, and you are very busy, since you are acquaintances there, go over and help." ”

The three of them were startled, and one of them said: "The slaves don't understand what Miss means, the slaves and maids have never served the third miss, how can they be familiar with the people of Gu Liju!" ”

Dong Qianmo said: "I don't want to interrogate carefully, if you are interested, you can pack up your baggage and go over." If you are determined to be tough with me, I don't want you here, and the third sister may not accept you anymore. ”

The three of them were a little annoyed when they saw Dong Qianmo, and they didn't dare to say more, so they had to pack their burdens and go to Guli House.

After the three of them left, Momozhi came over and asked, "Miss, how do you know that the third lady put them in Fengyuzhai?" The slave and maid kept an eye on them for a few days, but they didn't see any clues. ”

Dong Qianmo said while drawing flowers: "Their clothes are so good. ”

"Clothing materials?" Momoeda recalled, "Yes, although they are all the same style of maids, they are made of silk, but so what? ”

Dong Qianmo said: "In the past, the three of them wore cloth skirts, but these days, Aunt Tang and the third sister have had many happy events, one after another, and even the people have been stained a lot. It was such a coincidence that the three of them also changed into silk skirts at this time. ”

Taozhi suddenly said: "No wonder the three of them are happy all day long, they are happy for their master." I still remember the last time they washed the clothes of the young lady when she went out, causing the young lady to freeze, and at that time I said that it was not the lady who did it? You just say that their master is definitely not a lady, and the lady will not be so obvious. ”

Dong Qianmo said: "I just tried them, if I guessed wrong, they wouldn't leave so calmly, even if they quarreled with me, they would ask for an explanation for themselves." ”

Taozhi said: "The slave maid now understands that the third lady asked those people to secretly make things bad, which made the young lady suffer in vain, obviously because she wanted the young lady to mistakenly think that it was instructed by the lady, and then hate the lady." ”

"Yes, I thought so too."

"Just let them go, it's too cheap for them!" Momoeda was a little angry.

"There are so many cheap things in the world." Dong Qianmo's charcoal slid quickly on the paper, and a mandala flower jumped on the paper, "I'm good in the past. None of them are grateful to me, so what do I do with that mercy? ”

Taozhi just wanted to ask Dong Qianmo, since he didn't show mercy, why did he let those three people go back to Guli Ju.

May couldn't help but interject and ask, "Miss, why aren't you in a hurry to prepare your dowry at all?" The whole family is rumored that you are about to go to the palace to be the princess, but why do you still draw tricks for the second lady as if you have nothing to do? We can't finish painting our own flowers! ”

Dong Qianmo said: "That's because the family is rumored to be 'Fourth Miss Dong Qianmo wants to be the princess', so the busy person is not me." ”

May and Taozhi were confused together: "The fourth lady wants to be the princess, and you are the princess of the world, and you are the princess of the world, isn't it the same meaning?" Aren't you Miss Four? "Isn't Miss confused?

"I just haven't been there for the past two days."

"Huh?" Miss is really confused!

Dong Qianmo instructed them, "Don't be idle, build an embroidery frame, take two flower bandages, and help embroider the second sister's flowers on the skirt." ”

********

After noon, when people were most sleepy, May and Peach Branch fell asleep with flower bandages in their arms.

Mama Li came from the other side of the path, Dong Qianmo put down the needle and thread, and walked over to greet her. Mama Li smiled and said, "Why did you welcome the slave and maid, how dare you do this?" ”

Dong Qianmo said: "Those two girls are asleep, don't make any noise with them, let them take a nap for a while, Mama has something to do with me?" ”

"The old lady called you."

"Okay, let's go."

followed Mama Li, but the strange thing was that she didn't go to the old lady's Yiheyuan, but went all the way to the front yard, outside the door of Mrs. Dong's study.

Mama Li knocked on the door, and half of the door was opened inside, allowing them to enter.

In the spacious study, in addition to the old lady Tang, Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Song, Aunt Tang, and Dong Xianpei, there was also a man in official clothes, sitting on the upper seat, using a fragrant tea.

This man is in his thirties, wearing a virtuous crown on his head, his black hair is tied back into a bun, and his sideburns are not messy. The face is quaint, the figure is tall and thin, wearing a cross-collared wide-sleeved three-grade brown official robe, a double fish jade belt, and thick-soled soap boots.

Although his expression is light, there is no joy or anger, and his dress is not particularly eye-catching, but it gives people an unfathomable, strange feeling as deep as the vast sea.

The old lady introduced to the man: "This is the third granddaughter of the old man, whose name is Xianpei. He turned his head to look at Dong Qianmo again, and let go of his eyes, "Hurry up and salute Master Li." ”

Dong Qianmo bowed to Ying Ying: "Xian Pei has seen Master Li. ”
