Chapter 20: Lies
Minghui's heart sank.
Now Wei Qian should still be fifteen or sixteen years old.
Ming Hui's impression of the Wei family began after the death of the old lady Ming.
In Minghui's memory, Lord Wei's family never came to Yunmengguan.
It stands to reason that Wang Zhenren should not know Wei Qian.
But listening to Wang Zhenren's tone, she not only knew who Wei Qian was, but also knew it very well.
"Yes, I dreamed that Wei Qian went to the sea to catch a notice, saying that he killed his father, I wanted to see what was going on, but I ......"
Minghui didn't continue, the moment before she died, she didn't want to remember it anymore.
Wang Zhenren looked at Minghui with deep eyes, as if she wanted to see something from Minghui's eyes, and after a long time, she said lightly: "I think about it every day, and I dream about it at night." ”
Minghui pursed her lips, grabbed Wang Zhenren's sleeve again, and pleaded: "I know this is a dream, but I'm just very scared, master, please, don't go back, okay?" ”
Wang Zhenren sighed, pulled out his sleeve from her hand, and said disgustedly: "The clothes are all crumpled by you, I will let Haiquan go to see if there is a suitable Taoist temple to place an order, if you can find it, then stay for a few more days, if you can't find it, then go back." ”
"I can find it, I can find it!"
Because of the excitement, Minghui's eyes were shining, Wang Zhenren's heart softened, poked her forehead with his finger, and said angrily: "I'm also tired, I want to rest early, you can go back too." ”
Minghui refused to go back like this, and asked, "Master, Uncle Haiquan is here too?" What about Wang Ping and Wang An? ”
"They're here and staying at the inn today." Wang Zhenren said.
Minghui suddenly came to her senses: "Master, can you lend Wang Ping and Wang An to me, okay?" ”
"What do you want them to do?" Wang Zhenren asked.
Minghui thought for a while and said, "Master, I picked up a little girl, she also has an older brother, who is only five years old, who was abducted and sold to Qingyuan, I want Wang Ping Wang An to go to Qingyuan to inquire if there are any people who have recently bought children." ”
Wang Zhenren frowned slightly: "You are guarding filial piety in the house, and you don't step out of the door, where did you pick up the child from?" ”
Minghui let out a sigh that did not match her actual age: "There is a fortune-telling goddess in Baoding Mansion, who pretends to be a living fairy on the surface, but in fact, she is wolf-hearted and calculated, and calculates to her own sister, this little brother and sister is her nephew and niece, the male baby has been sold, and the three- or four-year-old female baby has not been sold, fortunately, God has eyes, evil has evil retribution, the goddess was sought revenge, the child was thrown out of the god's house, and it happened to pass by there not too late, so he picked it up, and now it is raised in my yard, and the eldest lord and the eldest lady also know." ”
Wang Zhenren glanced at her again, did not refuse, and said: "I can let Wang Ping and Wang An do things for you, but they are no longer children, and it is inevitable that it will be inconvenient to enter and leave the back house." ”
"It's okay, I rented a yard outside, so that I can go over for me in the morning and meet Wang Ping and Wang An in the small courtyard." Minghui said.
Wang Zhenren snorted coldly: "You still rented a yard outside?" ”
Minghui laughed dryly: "Master, in fact, I rented that courtyard for you, but I didn't expect that you still wanted to place an order in the Taoist temple." ”
Wang Zhenren glared at her and said, "Okay, I know, you go back, I want to discuss with Cui Niangzi." ”
Minghui knew that the master had agreed, so she put her mind at ease and left reluctantly without delay.
Cui Niangzi sent Minghui out of the guest house, turned around, and saw Wang Zhenren stunned, in the dim light and shadow, Wang Zhenren sat under the lamp, which was also real and illusory.
"Real ......" Cui Niangzi sat down on the edge of the kang.
Wang Zhenren raised his eyes, his gaze was unfocused: "She...... I hid something in my heart, and I learned to lie. ”
"Lying?" Cui Niangzi was stunned for a moment and asked, "The girl is young, the real person can ask her directly?" ”
Wang Zhenren's expression was indifferent: "Since she wants to hide it from me, if I ask her, she will definitely make up another lie to deal with me, it is better not to ask." ”
"Shall we stay, then?" Cui Niangzi asked.
"She rented a yard, you can go and see it tomorrow, if the yard is not too bad, let's move there." Wang Zhenren said.
"Huh? Didn't the real person go to the Taoist temple to place an order? If you live in the courtyard outside, will it be ......" Cui Niangzi was a little worried, Wang Zhenren is Kun Dao, and it is inevitable that there will be inconvenience if he lives in the market.
"I said, you go over and have a look first." Wang Zhenren said.
Cui Niangzi promised, no longer asked, and the next morning, Cui Niangzi changed into a common dress and went to the courtyard with no later night.
They went early, and just happened to meet the fat aunt who came back with a basket to buy vegetables. Seeing that it was not too late, the fat aunt asked with a smile, "Grandma Liu is not here?" I saw the door locked in the yard. ”
Not late, he hurriedly said: "There is something in my hometown, my aunt and grandmother will go back for a few days, and you will be worried." ”
The fat aunt was in a hurry to go back to steam the buns, and after a few words of greeting, she went home.
Not late led Cui Niangzi into the courtyard, Cui Niangzi asked with a smile: "Who is Grandma Liu?" ”
Shaking his head not too late, according to Minghui's words, he told the truth: "Don't hide it from Aunt Cui, I don't know which one Grandma Liu is, this yard is rented by Miss, and when Miss rents the yard, she said that this yard is rented to Grandma." ”
Cui Niangzi couldn't cry or laugh: "The girl has been naughty since she was a child, and I don't know where to find an old lady who pretended to be Grandma Liu." ”
Cui Niangzi looked inside and outside the courtyard, and felt that it was quiet here, which was not bad, and when she returned to the house, Cui Niangzi told Wang Zhenren what she saw today.
In the afternoon, Wang Zhenren said goodbye to Master Ming, because the Ming Mansion was still in the filial piety period, and it was inconvenient for Master Ming to stay, so he prepared a generous gift as Cheng Yi.
The eldest lady who was still sick heard the news brought by the maid: "The eldest lady, when the fairy girl left, she took away the little girl in the yard of the eldest lady, and the slave maid heard Chunmiao say that the little girl is a stupid one, she can't speak when she is three or four years old, and she has to be fed when she eats." ”
The eldest lady sneered, and was about to say a few cool words, when she suddenly remembered that Mother Hu was not by her side now, and her mood became irritated again, and she waved her hand and let the maid retreat.
Sending Wang Zhenren away, Minghui breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as the master stayed in Baoding Mansion and did not return to Yunmeng Mountain, he would definitely be able to escape the catastrophe half a year later.
Whether the fire in her previous life was an accident or man-made, Minghui still doesn't know for the time being, what she can do now is to let the master leave Yunmeng Mountain temporarily.
Last night, the black cat ate a few spoonfuls of batter, and this morning took the third pill, and ate half a bowl of batter in three times, and looked a little more energetic.
At noon, the sun shines through the Korean paper on the windowsill, and the black cat stands up, staggers over, and climbs onto the windowsill to bask in the sun.
It's also magical, the sun has been basking for an hour, when the black cat jumped down from the windowsill, it actually walked steadily, walked to Minghui's side, raised his head, and barked at Minghui, seeing that Minghui ignored it, the black cat rubbed his head on Minghui's body.
Minghui was meditating, opened her eyes, and saw that the black cat was looking up at her, she smiled and said, "Aunt Liu is still alive, your injuries are almost healed, just leave if you want to." ”
The black cat seemed to be able to understand, glanced at Minghui, and jumped off the kang, and soon happened to come in from the outside, just opened the door curtain, the black cat slipped out from her feet, and arrived in the yard, jumped on the wall in three or two, and disappeared in the blue bricks and tiles in a blink of an eye.
Don't go out later, the black cat has disappeared, and don't go back to the house and complain: "It's really an unfamiliar one, and I'll leave when I'm injured." ”
Minghui smiled and didn't speak.
It's just that no one thought that in the middle of the night, Minghui was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard movement outside the window, Minghui had developed a habit in her previous life, sleeping very lightly, she listened attentively, it was a rustling sound, as if something was rubbing on the window paper.
She sat up and was about to hold the lamp, when Minghui stopped her, the bright moonlight hit the window paper, and there was a small black shadow outside the window.
"Cats?" He whispered.
Minghui got up, pushed open the window, and the black cat jumped in.
Minghui smiled and said to Youchi: "Go get something to eat, it should be hungry." ”
It was not too late and did not expect that the black cat would run back, she used a fire fold to light an octagonal palace lamp, the light turned on, and when she saw the scene in front of her, the master and servant were both taken aback.
