Chapter 119: Aunt Shen Tricks Again
Ling Qingrui's heart jumped, and she quickly signaled Chu Xue to pay attention to the surrounding situation, she quickly hid, and then gently took out the small roll of yellowed silk cloth, and after checking it repeatedly, she only felt that it seemed to be a treasure map, but the map was very sketchy, and Ling Qingrui couldn't figure out what this so-called treasure was hiding.
Is it the real ancestral thing?
Ling Qingrui, who was full of doubts, couldn't see what this meant, and after thinking for a while, she had no choice but to put the treasure map back into the bracelet first.
Just when Ling Qingrui was about to restore the bracelet to its original state, she suddenly found that there was a piece of paper scroll exposed at the other end, and hurriedly took out the paper scroll, but she just wrote a simple line of words, it seemed to be the name of a place or the name of the courtyard, and the signature was her biological father Ling Qingcang, and what shocked Ling Qingrui the most was that the paper was printed with an auspicious cloud and dragon pattern!
It's exactly the same as the dragon pattern she found in the bag, and even the dragon pattern she found in the trailing Arhat!
How so?
If it weren't for the fact that the handwriting was exactly the same as what Ling Qingrui had seen before, and it also left a mark unique to the Ling family, Ling Qingrui couldn't believe what she saw, why did this pattern appear on the paper left for her by her biological father!
Ling Qingrui was shocked and inexplicable, staring at the piece of paper and the dragon pattern on it, her whole mind seemed to explode, she couldn't figure out why, and she couldn't figure out what it meant......
Keeping the line of words written on the paper firmly in mind, Ling Qingrui took back the bracelet from the paper and put it on her wrist as it was.
"First snow." Ling Qingrui shouted loudly.
Chu Xue hurriedly walked over, and seeing that Ling Qingrui didn't speak for a while, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Miss? ”
Ling Qingrui frowned for a long time and asked, "Nine Bends and Seven Bends Pear Blossom Lane, do you know this place?" ”
Chu Xue also frowned, but shook her head slowly, and then heard Bingyan who was guarding outside the door of the house hesitate and said, "Miss, the slave maid has a guess, but I don't know if it's correct." ”
Hearing this, Ling Qingrui also somewhat understood why Bingyan hesitated, because she didn't call the two sisters in just now, Bingyan interjected at this time that she was suspected of eavesdropping on her, and also called Bingyan and the two in.
Bingyan knelt on the ground obediently and asked for sin: "Please forgive Miss, the slave is not trying to eavesdrop on Miss......"
Ling Qingrui waved her hand and said, "I understand, you don't have to think about it. Just now you said that you guessed, what is the place of Pear Blossom Lane? ”
"The slave doesn't know if what she thinks is the place that the young lady is looking for, but she knows that there is a restaurant in the capital called Jiuqu Eighteenth Floor, and there is a teahouse called Qiwan Teahouse to the east, and there is a pear flower lane in these two places."
Jiuqu 18th Floor, Seven Bends Teahouse, Pear Blossom Lane......
Ling Qingrui silently read these places, frowning slightly, could it be in the capital? In this case, let's wait for someone in the capital to investigate in detail, what is the relationship between these places, and what is the secluded place that she has not asked? Where exactly does her father want to guide her?
Seeing that Ling Qingrui's expression seemed to be a little uncertain, Bingyan and Bingyue kowtowed together and said, "Please believe in the slave, the slave really doesn't want to eavesdrop on the young lady." ”
"Did Ling Xiao order you to spy on me, did he tell him to write down everything about me, and didn't he order you to come to me to look for something?"
The two sisters immediately shook their heads and said, "No! The pavilion master just ordered the two slaves and maids to come to protect the safety of the young lady, if the young lady is willing to accept the two slaves and maids, then from now on, the master of the two slaves and maids will only be the young lady! ”
Hearing this, Ling Qingrui hooked her lips slightly, and asked with a smile, "Only recognize me as the master?" What if I ordered you to take action against Ling Xiao? ”
"The slave must obey the young lady's orders."
The two replied in unison, but then Bingyue weakly added: "It's just that the slave maid and the younger sister join forces, and they can't pass ten moves in the hands of the pavilion master." ”
Bingyan glared at her sister with disgust, and hurriedly lowered her head for fear of Ling Qingrui's reprimand.
Seeing this, Ling Qingrui couldn't help but laugh too, this Bingyue's temperament was really interesting, very similar to Chu Xue's sometimes slightly stunned appearance, and for some reason Ling Qingrui inexplicably believed in Ling Xiao, believing that he didn't send these two people to spy on her.
It's just that this guy is elusive, he said that he appeared inexplicably, and he disappeared for so long, Ling Qingrui originally intended to temporarily accept Bingyue and the two, and wait for Ling Xiao to appear and then talk to him about it, but now he has to ......
Waving his hand to let the two of them get up, Ling Qingrui said, "Since you recognize me as the master, then you are not allowed to talk about this matter to anyone, and you are not the same as Chu Xue." ”
"Please rest assured, Miss!" This time, the three of them answered in unison.
No matter how Ling Qingrui thought about it repeatedly, Liu Fu began to move his family to the capital, because the old lady's health was not good, and the emperor was finally merciful, and did not specifically limit the days when Liu Wenzhe went to Beijing, so he stopped and stopped all the way, and sometimes repaired in a slightly larger town for a few days, so that the old lady could also rest, so that she would not fall down directly after a long journey.
On this day, I came to a place called Lejiang Town, and it happened to be dark, so I stopped the carriage and stayed here.
In the room, Liu Mengxi and Liu Mengyan looked at Aunt Shen together, Aunt Shen nodded heavily, and said, "Your uncle has already replied to the letter sent out a year ago, saying that arrangements have been made in Lejiang Town. Yan'er, after a while, you propose to your father to go see the lanterns, remember to bring that little slut. ”
"Why bring that little slut! Mother, I don't want to be with her! ”
Liu Mengxi said unwillingly, since she was severely punished by Liu Wenzhe, she has been lying on the bed for a long time, and she has lost a lot of weight at this time, and her face is even thinner.
Aunt Shen cupped her little face distressedly, and gently persuaded her: "Xi'er, after you take her...... She must go and never return! Remember? ”
Liu Mengxi became happy at this time, and nodded vigorously in agreement.
After dinner, Liu Mengyan really followed Aunt Shen's instructions, and cautiously asked Liu Wenzhe, there are lanterns in Lejiang Town, can the three of them go and see, Liu Wenzhe's gaze swept over the three of them one by one, and he paused quietly on Ling Qingrui, and finally nodded in agreement, but he ordered that he must bring the maid and the mother-in-law, and ordered some guards to protect him, so he let the three sisters go out to see the lanterns together.
Ling Qingrui was slightly distracted by Liu Wenzhe's pause, and unconsciously followed them out of the inn, and when the cool breeze on the street blew, she came back to her senses.
"Miss, what's wrong with you, but you're not feeling well?"
Seeing this, Chu Xue hurriedly asked worriedly, seeing Ling Qingrui shaking her head slightly, she couldn't help tilting her head and thinking about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, so she glanced at the two sisters of the Liu family who were walking in front, lowered her voice and said, "Miss, but I wonder why the master agreed after taking a look at Miss?" The slave guessed that the old man thought of the lady, originally when the lady was alive, every Shangyuan Festival, the lady would take the lady to see the lanterns, although at that time the lady would generally hide in the house and refuse to go. ”
Hearing Chu Xue mention the Ling family, Ling Qingrui's heart couldn't help but be slightly sour, and she nodded to show that she understood, and at this time, Liu Mengyan, who was walking in front, suddenly looked back.
"Sister Rui is tired? The street not far in front is the place to see the lanterns, it seems that I heard that there will be lantern riddles, Sister Rui must go to see it. Liu Mengyan looked concerned, and her innocent smile made people think that she was quite deep in the city at a young age.
Ling Qingrui nodded lightly, but listened to Liu Mengyan's careful advice again: "There are a lot of people here, Sister Rui's body has always been weak, but don't get separated." ”
Turning her head, Liu Mengyan instructed the guards who followed not far away: "Tian Qinghai, you have to protect Sister Rui." ”
Natian Qinghai responded: "Please rest assured, the little one must protect Miss Rui." ”
But Liu Mengyan's seemingly ordinary attitude suddenly made Ling Qingrui's heart vigilant, and she felt that this time looking at the lanterns was probably not such a simple thing.
Sure enough, not long after arriving at the Lantern Market, Liu Mengxi and Liu Mengyan, who were originally walking in front, suddenly sped up their pace, and the few maids who were originally following them began to hinder Ling Qingrui's pace, intentionally or unintentionally, making her more and more distant from the two of them!
Chu Xue also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Ling Qingrui and remind her, but unexpectedly, a person suddenly jumped out from the side, and hit her body at once, and Chu Xue, who was caught off guard, was knocked back and staggered back several steps, and when she stabilized her body and wanted to look up again, she saw that there was a crowd of people, and her young lady didn't know where she was being squeezed to, and Chu Xue's heart couldn't help but panic.
And Ling Qingrui looked at Tian Qinghai, who seemed to be protecting her, but repeatedly blocked her steps, and even led her to Tian Qinghai, who was in a remote place, and when she looked back, she quickly jumped into the crowd, Ling Qingrui's lips hooked up a sneer, she knew in her heart that this Aunt Shen, mother and daughter had been well-behaved for so long, and finally couldn't help but want to attack her again!
If she hadn't known that even if she left this Tian Qinghai, it would be useless, I'm afraid that Ling Qingrui would have taken him down first with a bag of poisonous powder.
It's just that Aunt Shen chose to do it in Lejiang Town, which she is not familiar with, she must have a plan, but what kind of helper did she find?
Just as Ling Qingrui was thinking, a few ruffian-like men surrounded her in twos and threes, and Ling Qingrui's eyes turned to find that behind them, there were several shadowy black shadows, looking straight to this side, they should be accomplices.
It seems that this is the person Aunt Shen found to deal with her, Ling Qingrui smiled disdainfully, does this Aunt Shen look down on her too much?
Retreating in fear, Ling Qingrui led the two groups of people together, perhaps seeing that it was just a weak woman to deal with, these people were careless, and Ling Qingrui was easily put away with a pack of drugs.
Clapping her hands, Ling Qingrui was about to find her way back to the inn, but suddenly stopped, because there were more people around her again, and these people were obviously different from before, they were all people with martial arts!
