Chapter Ninety-Seven: Under the Sunset

"When I went to Jiwei Hall early a few days ago to look for Tang Du, I happened to meet him at the door with a woman's coarse cloth clothes and washed them in the backyard, presumably from his mother at home.

Although the shopkeeper was strict with his partner, he broke the dishes several times clumsily, but he did not punish and scold him, and helped the man buy medicine from the pharmacy and bring it to his mother.

Only between relatives can they be so tolerant and accommodating, so I guessed that the guy was his nephew.

And that night, the guy stole Bian Bian Cao, and the shopkeeper immediately came out to help him cover up, and he didn't pull the guy out to shirk his responsibility when he was exposed.

I'm even more sure they're relatives! ”

"The girl is really meticulous in observing people, we haven't stayed in the inn for a few days in total, and I didn't expect that this shopkeeper and the guy have all been touched by you."

Feng Ji grinned.

"It's just a habit to look at people's eyes on weekdays."

Firecracker smiled self-deprecatingly.

No matter who you throw into the prime minister's back garden and swim around, it is estimated that they will be dyed in seven or eight colors.

A few people were still talking and laughing in the carriage, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away.

Von Vera saw that several horses had stopped in front of them.

"Childe, their carriage is muddy!"

The man at once reported to his master.

"Pull it out!"

The man in black who walked in the front ordered lightly.

"Yes!"

"Huh? Why does this sound sound familiar? ”

The firecracker stretched his neck and swept over Feng Ji's head to look out, but only saw a silhouette wearing a mask.

I was thinking about it in my heart, and suddenly I felt that the carriage slid forward, and several people were suddenly thrown and fell around.

"Are they helping or stirring up trouble?"

Feng Ji finally stabilized his body, grabbed the frame of the car and was about to go out to find out, just poking his head out.

The group of men in black on horseback had already ridden away, only throwing the mud spots on his face.

"Hey, get back here! You turtle sons who killed a thousand knives! ”

Feng Jiqi was furious.

"Huh? The rain is getting lighter! The firecracker poked its head out, and when he looked down, the wheels of the carriage had been lifted out of the mud.

"Great, the carriage can go! Brother Feng Ji! ”

"Humph! What the? Feng Ji gasped and turned his head.

"They actually carried the carriage out!"

"Humph! It's good that you run fast, or you'd have to taste my fists. ”

Feng Ji wrinkled his face and gestured.

"They helped us, forget it, we haven't had time to say thank you......"

"Thanks? I want to thank them with a fist! ”

"Brother Feng Ji, come up first, and when the rain stops, we'll continue to hurry."

The firecrackers comforted the big guy in front of him, Feng Ji was good at everything, but he was too irritable.

After a while, the rain gradually stopped, and several people continued to get on their horses and hurry.

Entering the imperial city, the firecrackers looked at the fallen leaves all over the ground as if they were in a different world, as if she had been walking for decades instead of dozens of days.

"You can just put me near Junsong Pavilion, I need to send the medicine back first, and then visit Shangshu Mansion later."

Firecrackers said to the four Feng brothers outside the carriage.

"Okay, although I can't bear the girl, let the girl take the medicine back to save people first."

Feng Ji replied while sitting outside the carriage.

"If the firecracker girl needs help in the future, go to Shangshu Mansion to find us."

"Where are you embarrassed to bother you, the next time we meet, we must set up a good table in the guest building, so I dare to call you ......."

"Look at the girl, don't you? The girl and our four brothers are friends of life and death, is it a relationship between wine, meat and money? ”

Feng Tong sat on the back of the horse and glanced at Feng Jian leisurely.

"Phew! It's my mouth that can't speak, and the next time I see you big brothers, it must be the time to drink and talk. ”

"Okay, just a word from the firecracker girl, I'm looking forward to seeing you next time."

Feng Ji stopped the carriage: "Girl, it's time to Junsong Pavilion." ”

Firecracker jumped out of the carriage with his baggage: "Then say goodbye for the time being, we will meet again soon, thank you for your care in recent days." ”

"Then let's go back to Shangshu Mansion first, and the girl will be careful."

The other three brothers sat on their horses and hugged her fists.

The firecrackers said goodbye to the Feng brothers, and hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion along the path.

"What's wrong? Fourth brother? Still in love? Do you want to catch up? ”

Feng Wei looked at Feng Jian and kept staring at the direction of the firecracker's departure.

"Ahem, ahem, don't make fun of me, the firecracker girl won't like me......"

Feng Jian retracted his gaze in embarrassment, pinched the horse's belly, and walked forward a little disappointed.

"How not? I think the fourth brother is also very good! Although we are not from a royal family, our lives are also abundant.

After getting along for the past few days, I see that the firecracker girl is not a greedy and vain person, maybe you really have a chance, fourth brother! ”

Feng Ji followed behind him in a carriage.

Feng Jian didn't answer his words, but stared blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

The firecrackers crawled through the dog hole with their burdens, and ran all the way towards the South Park.

When I arrived at the gate of South Park, I unexpectedly found that the wooden plank that had been fixed outside was gone, and the guards who guarded it were gone.

When she walked into the South Garden, the door of Dounan Pavilion was wide open, and the house was in a mess.

Second Mrs. Qi, Ruyu and Lihua are not there, the cabinet has been emptied, and even the bed on the couch is gone.

"This ..... What's going on here? ”

didn't have time to think about it, so the firecrackers hurriedly rushed out of the South Park and rushed to the East Garden.

As soon as An Ning came out of the recitation of Cixuan, he collided with the firecrackers that came in a hurry.

When he raised his head, he just wanted to scold angrily, but when he saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but grow his mouth: "Firecrackers, firecrackers, why did you come back?" ”

"Old ...... What about the old lady? She asked breathlessly.

"The old lady just rested ......"

"Quick, I have something important to ask!"

She pushed Anning away and rushed into the old lady's room.

The old lady had just laid down on the couch and wanted to close her eyes, only to hear a clang, the door was pushed open, and a frightened spirit almost did not fall off the couch.

"Ahhh What's going on? The old man looked puzzled.

"Old lady, I'm back!" Firecrackers pounced on the bed.

"You...... You girl, you're finally back, I'm almost scared to death! Without saying a word, he left a letter and fled from the house without permission.

You know, this is a heavy punishment in the house! ”

The old lady saw that it was her, sat up, and kept reprimanding her.

"You can punish as much as you want! Where did the second lady go? Why is South Park empty? ”

Firecrackers didn't care about anything else, and kept asking about the whereabouts of the three people in Nanyuan.

"Alas! It's all my fault! The body is not good, and I ran out to pray for blessings, but I fell ill on the road, and a delay was three or four days!

When I returned home, your wife had been sent out of the house by Xiyuan Cheng. ”

"Sent out? Where's it going? ”

"Sent to the temple on Sunset Mountain!"

"What? Sent to that abandoned temple? ”

Firecrackers suddenly felt that his eyes were black, and he almost lost his breath.

Sure enough, he was preempted by the eldest lady!

"Send it to ...... How many days have it been delivered? ”

"It's been days...... Alas! If I had come back sooner, I wouldn't have let her do that! ”

The old lady sighed and shook her head: "You said in your letter that the Qi family is not sick, but poisoned?" ”

"Yes!"

"Did you get the antidote?"

"I got the ......"

"Alas! I told Cheng Yatou about this, but she didn't believe it, saying that you were clever and eloquent, and you took advantage of the chaos to escape from the house, not to mention, but also to delay time for the Qi family.

Now, I only send people to the sunset mountain every day to deliver some food, and let the two maids who left with Qi's family on the mountain come down to fetch it by themselves. ”

"Ruyu and Pear Blossom also followed?"

"Yes, it is said that the two maids refused to leave that day, and they made a lot of trouble in Nanyuan, and were finally kicked out of the house by Aunt Xin and them."

"Old lady, I have to go to Sunset Mountain! Since there is no news of the death of the second lady on the mountain, then she must still be waiting for me! ”

Firecracker stood up, picked up the burden on the ground and wanted to leave.

"Wait, wait for me, I'll send you out of the house!" The old lady sat cross-legged on the couch with a sad face.

"Doesn't you have to?"

"Listen to me, without me, you don't want to get out of this mansion smoothly!"

...... That's right, I rushed back in a hurry just now, and I didn't pay attention to avoid suspicion.

Presumably it has been seen by many people and maids, and the eldest lady and the third lady must have also received the news at this time, maybe they will rob me halfway.

"Let's go, I'll go quickly, don't delay your business!"

The old lady pulled her shoes and shouted outside: "An Ning, go to the backyard to arrange the carriage, and let me wait at the gate immediately!" ”

"Yes!" There was a peaceful response from outside.

The firecrackers carried the old lady all the way and hurried slowly, and finally they were stopped by the eldest lady and the third lady when they just came out of the front yard.

"Mother, where are you going in a hurry?"

The eldest lady asked the old lady, but her eyes were staring at the firecracker beside her.

"Naturally, there is something!" The old lady said impatiently.

"Daughter-in-law, can you inquire, what's the matter?"

"Go to Sunset Mountain to save that Qi clan!" The old lady replied breathlessly, once upon a time she was also walking like a fly, but now she can't breathe after a few more steps.

"Old lady, don't be kidding, the Qi family is now waiting for death on Sunset Mountain! She's got a plague! ”

The third lady said in a sharp voice.

"I told you, she is poisoned, she is poisoned, you don't believe it!"

The old lady angrily tapped on her crutches.

"Mother, you must have listened to the instigation of the maid next to you to believe it, thinking that Sister Qi was poisoned,

This maid stole the property in the house a few days ago, and returned to the house in a grand manner today, there must be some conspiracy! ”

"That's it, I look at her treacherous face, I'm afraid I'm not making excuses for her stealing!"

The third lady was on the side to help.

"Old lady, do you know that when this maid was in the West Garden, her hands and feet were not clean, and she stole the rouge jewelry of several subordinates......"

Aunt Xin also interjected.

The three of them spat out their swords, and the blade pointed straight at her.

But Firecrackers didn't open their mouths to defend themselves, and entanglement with them at this time would only delay time, giving them more reason to detain her in the house.
