When Su Kite entered the door, Ye Qiong had already let the Liuying retreat with the cuckoo.

Su Kite's face was a little solemn, and when she saw that Ye Qiong was the only one in the whole room, she lowered her voice and told Ye Qiong:

"Girl, after the slave and maid gave the pastries, she quietly hid and listened for a long time, and the old man and the old man talked about the excessive rain this autumn, and the autumn flood must be fierce. The old man led the construction of bridges on several major rivers in the suburbs of Beijing, and the old man helped the old man to obtain funds in the household department. The old man was very confident in building the bridge, and swore to the old man that the newly built bridge was very strong and would survive the autumn flood. ”

Su Kite struggled to remember. Ye Qiong was a little nervous, so she poured herself a glass of water and held the teacup in the palm of her hand.

"Oh yes, the lord also told the lord that there are superstitions among the people by the river, and if you have to say that the bridge pillars are pressed with people's birthdays and hair, the lord doesn't want to drag down the project, so he let people disperse the troublemakers."

The strings in Ye Qiong's head snapped, and the teacup in her hand didn't know when it had been thrown, and the tea splashed on the ground. Su Kite was startled, and broke Ye Qiong's clenched hand, only to find that it had already been scalded by the tea.

"Girl, girl!"

Su Kite shouted several times before waking up Ye Qiong, who seemed to be in infinite panic.

Ye Qiong pulled out her hand from Su Kite's arms, and clasped her hands tightly as if she was in pain, as if she could support herself in this way. She felt that she was trembling all over, but she still instructed Su Yuan word by word: "Quick, you go tell your brother, let my brother ask where the fifth uncle is now when he went out to study, go quickly!" ”

Su Yuan had never seen such a hysterical Ye Qiong, so she nodded hurriedly and said that she was out of the door.

Ye Qiong paced alone in the room, like a trapped beast.

Now that the clues of the soul calling case have appeared, it is too late to stop it, I don't know where the matter has developed now, the family may be wiped out tomorrow, or it may be half a month later. The fifth uncle has not returned home yet, so first protect the fifth uncle's vein, and I don't know if there is time to change a reliable ...... for my sister's marriage

The sad cry of Manfu when he raided his house was still in his ears, and Ye Qiong pinched himself hard, forcing himself to calm down with pain.

I hate that I have just been reborn, and I don't fully understand the situation of the Ye family, and I am completely blind to the situation in the outside world......

At this moment, Feng's mother's voice came from outside the door: "Is the second girl here?" ”

Ye Qiong was excited, took a deep breath, and then went out and said with a smile: "Mother Feng is here, I'm sorry for you." ”

Mother Feng is the Xie family's wedding grandmother, and she helps the Xie family to manage the entire Ye family's three rooms, but she has always been kind to Ye Qiong: "Where did it come from." The old man also came here with a sentence, Mrs. Lu next door brought her son-in-law over, and Mrs. called the second girl to meet her. ”

As if the person who was about to drown had grabbed a straw, Ye Qiong's heart flashed with inspiration, and he said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go." ”

When Ye Qiong walked into the Magnolia Courtyard with the warbler, she had already heard A-Niang's laughter before she arrived at the door.

lifted the curtain and entered the house, before she could say goodbye, Ye Qiong was helped up by Mrs. Lu, who was sitting in the guest seat, and held her in her arms: "Is Miss Qiong okay?" I heard that you fell into the water, I specially started the cold medicine wine from the wine cellar, you can use some of it, your body and bones are important! ”

Mrs. Lu in front of her was full of eyebrows, and it was difficult to hide her luxurious temperament by just dressing up in a jingchai cloth skirt.

Before Ye Qiong could speak, Xie Shi had already agreed with a smile. Mrs. Lu is cheerful and neat, Xie likes to associate with her, and Mrs. Lu also likes Xie's gentleness and generosity, and the two have already become close friends.

Ye Qiong didn't interrupt the salute because Mrs. Lu helped her up, but still stood in place to make up for the greeting salute, and then smiled: "Then thank Aunt Lu!" ”

Ye Qiong smiled, but there was a little more thought in her mind.

The Lu family suddenly moved to Xinghua Lane, where the Ye family's third room was located, when she was three years old, where the rent was medium, and it was famous for the Ye family and a few apricot blossoms planted by the former Confucians.

The Lu family is different.

Mrs. Lu claimed to be the widow of Lu Yushi and lived here with her only son. But in fact, according to the memories of Ye Qiong's previous life, the Lu family is actually a branch of the Lu family of Zhenguo Gong, Mrs. Lu's deceased husband is the fifth son of Zhenguo Gong, and Mrs. Lu herself is the county lord of Ruyang Wangfu in Yunnan, with a noble status. Even in her previous life, Ye Qiong didn't know why the Lu family wanted to hide their background and live in seclusion in Xinghua Lane, thinking that it was also a secret of the high family.

Ye Qiong was thinking about sitting down, when she heard someone shouting to herself: "Ye Qiong, what's wrong with your hand?" ”

Ye Qiong raised her eyes and saw that there was a handsome young man in front of her, looking down at her reddened hands.

Ye Qiong's heart surged with sourness for no reason: "It's nothing, it's just burned by the tea." ”

When the young man heard this, he stopped talking, he seemed to be a little bored, he sat on the chair obliquely and cocked Erlang's legs to eat melons and fruits.

Lu Shaodan, the only son of Mrs. Lu, is fifteen years old, and he is a classmate of Wenshan Academy. In the previous life, not long after the defeat of the Ye family, Lu Shaodan was recognized by the Zhenguo Mansion, and since then, he has risen all the way, not only as the son of the family but also as the emperor's confidant, inheriting the title and becoming a thousand households in Jinyiwei. When Ye Qiong died in his previous life, Lu Shaodan had become the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he was a true and honest son of heaven.

Everyone in the world said that he Lu Shaodan was prodigal, and it was difficult to approach him because of his noble birth, but Ye Qiong knew that he was not such a person.

In her previous life, when the Ye family was defeated and she was bullied when she returned to Wenshan Academy to study, it was Lu Shaodan who stood up and defeated the bully for her.

At that time, his identity was still the son of the little-known imperial history, but he would provoke the noble son of the high family for her for the sake of justice.

Later, there was another time, he was slapped by the palace maid beside He Yanyan in the palace, and Lu Shaodan, who had just been promoted by Emperor Shunhe to Jinyi Wei Qianhu, happened to pass by and broke the palace maid's wrist with his hand.

After that, no one in the palace dared to bully her, and she quietly asked the female officials she knew to know that Lu Shaodan begged the eunuch in charge to take more care of herself, saying that she was repaying the Ye family in Xinghua Lane for taking care of him back then.

In his previous life, he accidentally mentioned to the palace maid beside the Queen Mother that he missed the Qionghua in the courtyard of his home, but unfortunately the Qionghua tree at home had long since died. As a result, the next day, she saw a small flower sac containing air-dried Qiong petals in front of the window, and asked the female official to know that he had entered the palace today.

Obviously there is no signature, but Ye Qiong knows that it is him, who would miss an orphan girl like her in the palace?

In his previous life, Lu Shaodan fought in the south and the north, and Ye Qiong also married into the Korean government on the order of the queen mother soon after, and since then they have completely broken off contact.

Ye Qiong thought of the fiery red robe he saw last before he died in his previous life.

In addition to Lu Shaodan, who in the capital can wear that red robe so arrogantly, and come to close her eyes?

Ye Qiong has always believed that Lu Shaodan is a reliable person.

Ye Qiong suppressed the mixed tastes in her heart, and whispered to Lu Shaodan: "Brother Shaodan, you come with me, I have something to tell you." ”

Lu Shaodan raised his eyebrows lightly, smiled and nodded.

Ye Qiong and Ah Niang said that they would take Lu Shaodan to visit the Ye family's garden, but Xie and Mrs. Lu didn't say anything and let the two retreat.

There is nothing to see in the Ye family's garden, so Ye Qiong took Lu Shaodan to an open arch bridge in the mansion, where there is no shelter and ventilation, which is a good place to avoid suspicion and talk.

After sending the maid and the maid under the bridge, Ye Qiong's gaze became solemn: "Brother Shaodan, you often walk in the streets, I don't know if you have ever heard a rumor in the suburbs of Beijing, saying that it is a curse to press people's birthdays and hair under the bridge pillars to make the bridge more stable?" ”

Lu Shaodan was a little surprised, and when he saw Ye Qiong's serious face, he also accepted his contemptuous attitude: "There is such a thing." The matter is a bit big, and there are already rumors that taking people's eight characters and hair can call away people's souls. I heard that a few monks went to the suburbs of Beijing to make a fortune, but they were found in the baggage with scissors and hair, and the people in the village suspected that they were demon monks who came to call the soul with bad intentions, and now they have been sent to the county government. ”

"Have you ever reported it?" Ye Qiong asked anxiously.

Lu Shaodan shook his head: "No." It's just a trivial matter, and the county government will not report it to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion. ”

Ye Qiong's mind was in turmoil.

Nine years ago, King Sheng of the Southern Realm rebelled, and at that time, it was under the guise of a Taoist priest predicting the change of Ziwei Star. The Son of Heaven is suspicious, and since then he has been secretive about witchcraft. The more the lower-level officials insisted on suppressing it without fault, the more the Son of Heaven suspected that the remnants of King Sheng wanted to make trouble through the rumors that called the soul, and even colluded with the relevant officials.

Once this matter is involved in rebellion, it will be irreparable!

Ye Qiong unconsciously pinched the handkerchief in her hand, but was softly separated by a hand.

"There are still wounds on my hands. Don't worry, think slowly, there will always be a way out. Lu Shaodan unconsciously lowered his voice.

His voice seemed to have magical power, which made Ye Qiong calm down strangely.

"Brother Shaodan, you do me a favor." Ye Qiong's eyes were a little sincere, "I know that you often communicate with people in the market, you help me spread the rumors of the soul calling more widely, and make the matter as big as possible, so that everyone can't suppress it!" After the deed is done, you can mention what you want in return. ”

Lu Shaodan was not stupid, and as soon as his mind turned, he knew that this matter was probably related to the bridge that the Ye family's uncle was building.

He didn't ask for anything in return, this matter was just a handy effort, and he was afraid that Ye Qiong would not be able to get over it in his heart, so he said: "That's okay, help me write a year's homework, you know I'm not good at four books and five classics or something." As if he was afraid that Ye Qiong would regret it, he jumped off the bridge and left.

Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the matter to be negotiated so easily, and only then did she react and shouted at Lu Shaodan's back: "Brother Shaodan, that's cheating!" ”

Lu Shaodan beckoned from afar: "Then help me tutor my homework, let's go, Ye family girl." ”

The stone hanging in Ye Qiong's heart was slightly released, now this is only the first step, I don't know if the Heavenly Family already knows about it, maybe let my grandmother enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother to find out?

Ye Qiong walked off the bridge while thinking about it, and bumped into a little maid who ran anxiously and said, "Second girl, Mother Feng said that the cuckoo is not in good condition, and she is about to ask for a doctor!" ”

Ye Qiong's footsteps stopped suddenly, and then she lifted her skirt and walked briskly towards Qionghuayuan, and couldn't help but scold in her mouth: "Beast!" ”
