I'm looking for my cousin, get out of the way! Li Shaofeng was in a hurry to see his cousin, and suddenly his temper was a little irritable.

Sister Fang passed by the door, inadvertently glanced at Li Shaofeng, and immediately fell in love with Li Shaofeng, walked over and asked, "What are you doing, who are you?" He looked at Li Shaofeng with a deliberately indifferent expression.

Li Shaofeng saw that the woman in her early thirties and full of amorous feelings in front of her was qualified to speak, so he hurriedly said what she meant, "I'm here to find my cousin, please let me in to find her, okay?" ”

Sister Fang asked, "Who is your cousin?" ”

Li Shaofeng said: "She is the top brand of your Lichun Courtyard, Peony Girl!" ”

"It's her!" Sister Fang had no expression on her face, turned around, and threw down a faint sentence, "Follow me!" ”

Sister Fang took Li Shaofeng into Peony's room, and then said, "You can sit here, your cousin is still accompanying the guests, and she can't come for the time being." ”

Li Shaofeng smiled and said, "As long as I can see her, it will be out of the way, thank you Sister Fang." ”

Sister Fang sat down, no matter how you look at this girl, she is the kind that is alluring to the country and the city, and the country is beautiful, if she stays in her Lichun Courtyard and cultivates her into an Oiran, she will definitely be able to help her make a lot of money.

Looking at it, Sister Fang couldn't help but have the idea of persuading Li Shaofeng to stay, "Girl, look at your delicate appearance, standard face, pure as a freshly blooming flower, much better than your cousin." ”

At this time, Peony's footsteps stopped on the side of the door and heard the conversation between the two inside.

Sister Fang asked: "Girl, on your terms, if you solicit guests in my Lichun Courtyard, sooner or later you will make all your money, and you can marry a rich son." ”

Li Shaofeng apologized: "I'm sorry Sister Fang, even if Shaofeng has this intention, it is already too late, because I have been ......"

"Cousin!" Peony stopped eavesdropping outside the door and walked up happily.

As soon as he saw his cousin, Li Shaofeng got up to greet him, then held his cousin's hand, and said excitedly: "Cousin, you are finally here, but my cousin has been looking for you for a while." ”

Peony squeezed out a smile a little reluctantly, how does her cousin look now, how watery, and she ...... is about to be eliminated by Sister Fang. "Cousin, what's the matter with coming to my cousin?"

Li Shaofeng's face showed joy and said excitedly: "Cousin, I came to tell you a great news!" ”

Peony glanced at her with disdain, "What great news?" ”

Li Shaofeng said excitedly: "Cousin, I was selected as a show girl, and I will enter the palace at the beginning of next month!" ”

Hearing this, Sister Fang's eyes widened, "Show girl? ”

Peony's expression was very light, although the joy on her face was happy for her cousin, but it was all reluctant, she held her cousin's hand tightly, and said lightly: "Cousin, cousin, congratulations!" ”

Li Shaofeng snuggled up to his cousin and said coquettishly: "Cousin, I will enter the palace in half a month, and I don't know anything about the etiquette in the palace." I heard that cousin, you have served the big people in the palace, you should know something about things in the palace, cousin, can you teach your cousin some etiquette when entering the palace? This may make me a concubine as soon as I enter the palace! ”

"This ......" Peony was a little embarrassed.

"Cousin," Li Shaofeng shook his cousin's hand and begged, "Please, just teach me." In this year's draft, the imperial court will choose twelve golden hairpins in Peony Town, and three of them will be selected in our South Village alone, if they can all enter the palace as concubines, then the three of us will contribute greatly to the village! ”

Sister Fang said disdainfully, "What's so good about entering the palace, it's better to mix with me, as many men as you want, why bother to grab a man with three thousand women." ”

Li Shaofeng said: "Sister Fang, you don't understand, once you enter the palace, you don't have to worry about eating, drinking, and wearing." If I am here, I have to look at the man's face, I am bitter for my cousin. ”

"Okay, it's good to enter the palace, then you can go to the palace!" After speaking, Sister Fang's angry eyes fell on Peony's face, "Don't grind, what do you have to say quickly, the guests don't need to be entertained?"

Really, is it far better to enter the palace than my Lichun Temple? What an ignorant girl. He hurriedly left the room.

"Cousin," Li Shaofeng asked tremblingly, "Why did Sister Fang lose her temper so much?" ”

Peony said lightly: "Oh, she may have taken a fancy to you, and hopes that you can stay in Lichun Courtyard, just like your cousin." ”

"Don't!" Li Shaofeng pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to be a prostitute and corrupt customs." Even if I die, I will become the emperor's concubine and serve him alone! ”

Peony's fist clenched secretly......

After a while, Peony went to accompany the guests.

Li Shaofeng waited for his cousin to accompany the guests, and then talked to his cousin well, waiting for his cousin to teach him about the etiquette in the palace. Next, stay in the room.

I don't know how long later, a maidservant girl came in with a bowl of tea.

Li Shaofeng leisurely drank the tea, took a sip, was fascinated by the fragrance, and asked the maidservant, "Tell me, what kind of fragrance is this?" ”

The maid said, "This is the fragrance of the addicted beauty, and it was a guest who gave this medicinal fragrance to Miss Peony, which is a very precious and rare medicinal fragrance, so Miss Peony asked the slave maid to put it in the tea and add the aroma to bring it over." ”

I didn't expect my cousin to be so good to him, so Li Shaofeng drank the whole cup of tea.

Thinking back, Sister Fang said to Qingyue; "My lord, that's what the maid told me at that time, she came out after delivering tea, and then I went to see Li Shaofeng with Peony, but found that she was dead, and she was lying in Peony's room. I still wanted to convince her to stay in my Lichun Courtyard, but I didn't expect her life to be so short. ”

Qingyue asked: "The official asked you, what kind of Li Shaofeng did you see when you and Peony rushed to the room that day?" ”

Sister Fang recalled for a moment, and then said: "It seems that she has been poisoned, her hair has turned red, her face and neck, and her hands are all red, and her face is very hideous and terrifying." ”

After listening to Sister Fang's answer, Qing Yue's face was not wavering, but her appearance was so deep that everyone didn't dare to take a breath easily.

"My lord, the women who should have said it have already been said. My lord, can the women stand up and speak? Sister Fang asked pleadingly, she moved her sore legs and arms, and rubbed them.

Qing Yue secretly observed Sister Fang, Sister Fang's kneeling posture was elegant and dignified, and there were rules and regulations. She nodded her head at Sister Fang, "You can stand up and speak!" ”

Sister Fang was overjoyed, shook her skirt, and stood up, "Master Xie!" ”

Qingyue said: "No thanks, this official thank you, thank you, Sister Fang, for cooperating with the yamen and reporting informed." Sister Fang, this official's questioning of you is here for the time being, you step back first, if there is anything unclear, I will pass you up again. ”

"Okay lord, the woman understands, the woman is leaving!" After speaking, Sister Fang turned around and retreated from the court.

At this moment, there are five people kneeling in the public court.

Qing Yue looked at Master Qiu, who was making notes on the side, and asked, "Master Qiu, according to the procedure, who should we ask?" ”

Master Qiu flipped through the notebook on the table, and then said to Xiang Nan: "My lord, this first female deceased has already summoned the relevant person, and now I will go to the second deceased." The second deceased's surname was Qin, his name was Rou, and he lived in the Hutong of East Street in Peony Town, and was a member of the Qin Mansion. Qin Rou died at home, and Master Qin was the informant. ”

"Hmm." Qing Yue nodded, listened to Master Qiu's words, and then faced Master Qin, who was kneeling in the hall, and said, "Master Qin, then please tell me about the situation before and after Ling Qianjin was killed!" ”

"Yes, sir." Old Master Qin said respectfully. Recalling the scene of that day, his eyes were filled with grief again, "The old man will never forget that day......"

Ten days ago.

It was a very sunny day.

Qin Mansion.

A girl dressed as a maid hurried to her young lady's room, and asked anxiously: "Miss, what important thing do you want to order for the slave maid to come in such a hurry?" ”

In the boudoir, in front of the willow leaf lattice window, there is a guqin.

Qin Rou sat by the guqin, sitting upright and elegant, but her beautiful face was very haggard, and the sentimentality on her eyebrows became stronger and stronger. She glanced at the maid, then got up, walked to the window, looked at the peach blossoms flying outside the window, and a sadness appeared on her face, "Xiaozhu, why did you say that Liu Gongzi didn't choose me?" ”

When the maid Xiaozhu heard this, she immediately understood why her young lady was sad alone. It turned out that their young lady was sad for the handsome son Liu Ren.

"Miss, since you have become a good sister, why bother to add more wounds to yourself?

Xiaozhu said according to his own thoughts, "Miss and Miss Shen are sisters, and the Qin and Shen families are even more worldly friends, and the sisterhood between you is closer than sisters, but who knows, you are in love with the same man." Alas, creation makes people. ”

"Now that it's over, I can't think about it anymore. I'm going to enter the palace soon, and my fate with Liu Gongzi should be over. After speaking, he glanced back at the guqin and said to the maid: "Yesterday, I asked you to send a message to Lichun Courtyard to find Miss Peony to come over, she is a well-known top girl, she does not sell her body, and her piano skills are superb." Before entering the palace, I wanted to communicate with her more on the piano, and by the way, I hoped that she could cut her love and send her favorite piano to me to use. ”

Xiaozhu said: "The slave maid has reported yesterday, and Miss Peony said that she will bring the piano at noon today!" ”

At this time, a footstep stopped outside the door, and Peony was already standing at the door of the room, holding the guqin in his hand, and looking at Qin Rou with a smile, "Miss Qin, Peony is here." ”

After nightfall, Master Qin came back from outside, returned to the front hall and sat down, took a sip of tea and called Xiaozhu, "Xiaozhu, is Miss sleeping now?" ”

Xiaozhu replied, "Not yet, sir." The young lady has been playing the piano for an afternoon, and she is still Liu Gongzi. ”

"Alas," Master Qin sighed, "you said that she is really, she has to fall in love with the same man as Boss Shen's daughter." Now it's okay, in order to fulfill the good sisters, she is willing to go to the draft, and use this reason to enter the palace to make Liu Ren die. The old man thinks Liu Ren is good, a good young man. ”

"But master," Xiaozhu reminded with his head down, "no matter how good Liu Gongzi is, he is already Miss Shen's!" ”
