Qin Liusu and Ling Muhan walked out along the road, and after a while, they were almost out of the mountain pass, Ling Muhan stood at the foot of the mountain and didn't know what he was thinking, he came out of his mind.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Liusu asked softly, and Ling Muhan came back to his senses and said that it was okay.

Ling Muhan came back to his senses and said to this Qin Liusu: "I'm afraid this cave is going to send more people. ”

Qin Liusu also thought so.

"I think so too."

Qin Liusu thought for a while, then asked again, "Who do you think the woman in the cave is?" ”

Ling Muhan's expression suddenly became a little solemn.

"I don't know, but it doesn't feel that simple."

Also, at the beginning, the officials launched a carpet search, but after looking for a long time, there were no clues, today, how can it be so easy?

Ling Muhan bit his nails and went to the door of the cave, and the guards began to take a nap.

"Why did you fall asleep? But too tired? ”

The servant was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"My lord, the villain didn't mean it, I beg the adults to spare their lives!"

Ling Muhan waved his hand and pulled it up himself, "It's okay, it's just that you naturally have to pay attention to it in the future, but you also have to pay attention to rest, don't get tired." ”

The more pleasant he was, the more frightened the servant became.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, the villain promises that there will be no next time!"

Seeing the way the official swore to the sky, Ling Muhan felt a little funny, patted the officer's shoulder and left.

Qin Liusu sat on this horse and felt a little strange.

"Why hasn't anyone gone in for so long since we went in and cared about us?"

Ling Muhan laughed, and suddenly couldn't stop, and after a long time, he suddenly became serious.

"Because, they want us to die!"

Qin Liusu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and almost fell off the horse.

Ling Muhan continued.

"The people in this official mansion, except for a few of us who are newly appointed, the rest of the people have been bought out by the rich and powerful gentry in this place, in order to find out the news."

Qin Liusu didn't expect this White City to be so chaotic.

"Although I knew that this White City was chaotic, I didn't expect it to be like this, so what should you do now? But to dismiss these people? A new group of people? ”

Ling Muhan took the horse and shook his head, "No, whether I am a new recruit or someone else, I will be bought, just like a few days ago I asked the newly recruited people of County Lieutenant Zhang to come, and few of them can resist the temptation and defect." ”

Qin Liusu sighed, and said that it was difficult to be a clean official.

"This is also the reason why I want to kick you out of this county office, it is inconvenient after all, it is better for you to live alone with your family, you will be relieved."

Suddenly speaking of himself, Qin Liusu's face blushed a lot, and he didn't know what was going on recently, and he blushed in the face of Ling Muhan, who was always moving.

……

The man dressed in a light-coloured garment twists the tea leaves from the teapot with his slender hands, washes them with warm water, spins the teacup on his side in the tea boat, warms it with hot water, and then takes it out and puts it in the tea tray. Dialing the tea leaves into the pot, the shape of the green top tea is like a woman in white gauze, the white smoke of the liao rises, and the man's face is not clear in the white mist.

The man stretched out his hand again, took out the teacup, carefully poured the teapot, not long after, there was a lot of tea in the milky white stone jade cup, the color was verdant, a little tea floated in the tea, the buds and leaves were tightly wrapped, the beauty was full, the vision was refreshing, it was beautiful, it was not like this sleeping tea, just like the tea soaked in water, the tea soaked in it, delicate and swollen, but bright but transparent, just like the woman's eyebrows and eyes.

The man picked up the cup in front of him, closed his eyes and savored it.

After a long time, the man opened his eyes, put down the cup in his hand, looked at the housekeeper who had been standing aside for a long time, and asked, "But it's done?" ”

"It's done, master, I also made up the difference in the price of the man, and said that the family also moved in early."

"Hmm."

The man's mouth still has some of the aroma of tea, but it smells very good.

"I also heard today that the county magistrate took the woman to the cave, and I think I found it there, but it's just ......."

The butler was a little speechless and stopped, "Does the master really want to do this?" ”

The flowers on the jasmine tree bloomed interestingly, and occasionally a gust of wind blew and it rained petals.

"Butler, look, the heavy rain a few days ago was terrible, why is this jasmine still blooming so well?"

Before the butler could reply, he heard the man talking to himself.

"Xu is made by a lady, she loves this jasmine the most."

The man stood under the tree and fell into endless memories, allowing the petals to fall on him.

The housekeeper was a little unbearable in his eyes, so he retreated quietly, and let the little maid come far away, so as not to disturb his master.

Qin Liusu and Ling Muhan came back in embarrassment, and Old Madam Ling stood at the door early, looking left and right, waiting for her son to come back.

As soon as he saw that Ling Muhan was back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Why did you come back so late? You see, it's getting dark! ”

I saw Qin Liusu lying on this horse again, and soon became a little unhappy.

"Why is Liu Gongzi sitting on this horse, but let your boss lead the horse?"

Qin Liusu was lying on his back and falling asleep at this time, where could he still hear it.

Old Madam Ling saw that Qin Liusu didn't take care of herself, she was a little angry in her heart, pushed away the red incense that was holding her, walked to the horse with a cane, and looked at it, only then did she know that this Qin Liusu was asleep, and her saliva was also pulling the elder.

Old Madam Ling's disgust was beyond words.

Ling Muhan was very embarrassed to play the round.

"Mother, this Deputy Master Liu, I also came here today to save my feet, so I sat here and came here, you don't have to worry, let's go back quickly, I still have some things to deal with in the study."

Ling Muhan motioned to the little servant beside him to lead the horse and entered the county office, leaving a group of people behind him.

Old Madam Ling looked at Qin Liusu who was sleeping and sighed, "What a sin!" I heard that he also moved, come, you carefully take Liu Gongzi down and send him back. ”

Old Madam Ling shook her head, turned around and went in, and the little maid behind her got the order, and quickly packed up her things and led the horse away.

Entering the courtyard, Old Madam Ling's expression was not very good, and she said intimate words to Hongxiang who was holding herself.

"You say, this Mu Han is always with that Liu Shui, will it be ......?"

No, no, Old Madam Ling interrupted her thoughts.

Hongxiang grew up beside this old lady Ling since she was a child, and she can be regarded as half a daughter, so there is no need to be taboo about what to say, and this Hongxiang naturally knows what this old lady is worried about.

"It's also ...... for sure"

Old Madam Ling looked at Hongxiang in surprise, waiting for her words.

Hongxiang felt a little embarrassed to speak, and struggled for a long time before she said it.

"Old lady, I also listened to what the shepherd boy said, saying that one day I delivered food and saw that the old man kissed that Liu Gongzi......"

"What?! Don't scare me, my Ling family's incense is still waiting to be inherited by that kid! ”

Hongxiang was anxious, "The old lady doesn't know Hongxiang yet, how dare Hongxiang lie to you?" If the old lady doesn't believe it, you can call the shepherd boy and ask clearly, don't you know? ”

Old Madam Ling walked to the small pavilion, took advantage of the situation, and gasped: "Then you don't go quickly!" ”

Hongxiang hurriedly ran up to find the shepherd boy.

This Hongxiang and the shepherd boy are these two sisters and brothers, and their mother, that is, Shen, is the personal maid of the old lady Ling, who did not enjoy a few years of time, and died of a serious illness, fortunately, the old lady Ling is still very affectionate, raised these two children, and also sat on the work of the next person on weekdays, but the person in the house did not know that these two people were also half masters of the house, and they couldn't be provoked.

Soon, the shepherd boy came.

"The old lady came to call me, but what is the matter?"

The shepherd boy owes a debt, and Mrs. Ling hurriedly said: "I called you today, and I also heard from your sister that the master and that Liu Gongzi have been going very recently, but is there such a thing?" ”

The shepherd boy glared at his sister, a little embarrassed, but still very honest.

"Back to the old lady, there is indeed such a thing......

"Have you ever seen your master hug that Liu Gongzi and kiss him?"

The shepherd boy squirmed, still reluctant to speak.

Old Madam Ling's crutches stomped on the ground fiercely, "You are all going to be angry with me!" ”

As soon as the old lady Ling became angry, the shepherd boy and Hongxiang knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly comforted their old lady to get up.

"Oh, don't be angry, old lady, I said it's not okay?"

The shepherd boy sighed, "Yes, I did, but ......"

Old Madam Ling did it in an instant, scaring them half to death with this red incense.

When Old Madam Ling woke up, it was already late at night, and her son Ling Muhan was sitting at the head of the bed at this time, holding her hand, and Old Madam Ling felt that her heart was blocked.

"You go and rest first, let Hongxiang come and take care of me."

Ling Muhan originally wanted to say something, but when he looked at his old mother, he turned his head and knew that his mother was not talking to him now, so he had to put down his old mother's hand and go out.

"Hongxiang, you have to take care of your mother!"

Ling Muhan told him again and again, Hongxiang never dared to raise his eyes to look at Ling Muhan, Ling Muhan felt very strange, but he didn't stay long, on this day, he himself was very tired and tired, and now he just wanted to let him sleep.

Hongxiang entered the room, looking at Old Madam Ling's eyes were very hollow, and her heart was very uncomfortable.

"Old lady, you don't have to think about it, maybe my brother is wrong, you don't have to worry!"

Old Madam Ling sighed, "Hongxiang, it's not like you don't know what kind of situation our family is in now, I'm really afraid!" ”

Hongxiang's eyes were a little moist, "Old lady, I know." ”

Hongxiang wiped her tears, "Old lady, don't think about it." ”

Old Madam Ling lay on the bed and groaned, "It's not that I think too much, that kid is a piece of meat that fell from me, I still know a little bit about what he thinks in his heart......"

Old Madam Ling sighed, "If his father was still here, he wouldn't have become like this. ”

Old Madam Ling said as she spoke, and tears came down, and Hongxiang picked up a handkerchief and wiped it.

After a long time, Old Madam Ling said: "Wait until tomorrow, I will write a letter, you ask someone to hand it over to this Mrs. Lu, remember, you must hand it over to Mrs. Lu yourself." ”

Hongxiang nodded, and she knew what kind of idea her old lady was playing.

Hongxiang wiped Old Madam Ling's body and said, "That Liu Gongzi looks like a talent, and it makes people very happy to look at it, but he is just a little thin......"

Old Madam Ling tilted her head, "Are you interested in this Liu Gongzi?" ”

Hongxiang blushed, a little embarrassed.

"It's not that I'm the only one who says this, and the maids behind me think so too."

Old Madam Ling took Hongxiang's hand, "You are also what I grew up watching, and I also know your temperament, you are worthy of a good family." ”

Hongxiang lowered her head, this kind of thing, she didn't think about it, but her own identity was still extravagant after all.

Hongxiang began to divert the topic.

"That Liu Gongzi also bought a house outside, and he won't live here if he wants to, I heard the shepherd boy say that he was originally going to carry luggage, but he was called out by the master to go out to work."

Old Madam Ling closed her eyes, "I naturally know, he also came to greet me, saying that he was grateful for so many days of care, and I naturally knew that he was good, but,"

Old Madam Ling sat up suddenly, "They are still different after all, not to mention this family, and this gender, it is not enough." ”
