Thirty-eighth The unlucky Qingqing
Obviously the weather is warm, but there is still a charcoal basin burning in the house, Jiang Lanshu, Qingju, Rongxiu, Tanchun lowered their heads, and guarded the outside carefully.
There was a contemplative fragrance lingering in the room, and the girl on the couch was asleep, with a strange crimson on her delicate face.
In front of the bed, an old man with a gray beard put his wrinkled hand on Ye Lingwu's white and tender wrist, and after half a moment, the old man's brows became deeper and deeper.
The entire Jinghe Hall was extremely quiet, and the old lady Shen was silently twisting the Buddha beads with a calm face, and her body exuded an aura that was difficult to dissipate.
The girls and envoys below knew that Old Lady Shen was in a bad mood at this time, so they didn't dare to speak out, for fear of causing trouble.
"Lan Shu, you went to Ji Youhu with Ling Yatou, where are you when she has an accident?" Old Lady Shen's tone was flat, but she exuded a chilling majesty.
Jiang Lanshu shook her lips and didn't make a sound for a long time.
Old Lady Shen glanced at her and said, "Rong Xiu, tell me what happened, why did Jing Yan come back with the unconscious Ling girl?" ”
Rong Xiu didn't dare to shirk responsibility, and half-knelt down and said: "Back to the old lady, yesterday the slave maid and the girl went to the Wang family to make an appointment, and met the little county lord of the Shunchang Palace, the eldest girl of the Lou Taifu family, and a few strange girls, one of the girls pushed the girl, and the girl fell into Ji You Lake before contracting the wind cold." ”
Old Lady Shen Old Lady Shen twisted the hand of the Buddha beads for a moment, lifted her eyelids, and said coldly: "You mean that the girl deliberately pushed the girl into the water?" ”
"It was deliberate, and then the girl also threw a stone into the water, and the slave was restrained and couldn't stop it, and then the slave and the maid saw that after they left, the girl didn't come out of the water and went to find someone, but fortunately I met the second brother halfway." Rong Xiu's answer was clear and smooth, without any concealment.
"Okay, very good," Mrs. Shen put the Buddha beads in her hand on the table lightly, her eyes were a little yin, "This is because my wife is so bullied, even my girl dares to move." ”
Mama Xuan said, "Old lady, how are you going to deal with this matter?" ”
Old Lady Shen was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I see that the weather is very good these days, so it is better to invite some friends to eat at the house in a few days." ”
Mama Xuan said knowingly: "Yes, the old slave will go and inform the eldest princess Jiayi and send invitations to each family." ”
Sending Mrs. Shen back to the main house, Jiang Lanshu only felt that her feet were fluttering, and her heart was pounding.
Qingju on the side saw that Jiang Lanshu was unwilling, looked behind her, and made sure that no one dared to speak: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Qingju, I'm so panicked, do you think the old lady will blame me?" Jiang Lanshu's lips were a little pale.
Qingju said: "No, girl, this matter has no direct connection with us at all, how can the old lady blame the girl." ”
Jiang Lanshu's face was ugly, and she clutched her chest and didn't speak.
Night falls.
In the haze, Ye Lingwu returned to the small courtyard in Daiyue Town, the sky was gray, the air was full of unpleasant smell of dust, she slowly walked inside, and suddenly a raging fire burned around.
The whole person seemed to be in a furnace, the raging fire burned her body, along with her internal organs were about to be scalded, and her consciousness was also scorched, until she was about to suffocate, she was about to wake up.
The room was dim, Ye Lingwu slowly sat up in his sluggish consciousness, rubbed his colic temples, and realized that it was no longer a dream.
"Girl, are you awake?"
Ye Lingwu raised his head slowly, looked at Rongxiu sickly, and didn't say a word.
Rong Xiu sat on the edge of the couch, put the pillow on the head of the wooden bed, and said softly: "The girl has finally woken up, and the old lady is worried." Today, the doctor said that you are weak and should not be worried, so the old lady sent someone to Rong Jiajia Private School to take a five-day leave. ”
Ye Lingwu leaned back dejectedly, and said in a tired tone: "Sister Rongxiu, I want to eat cold wine." ”
Rong Xiu was stunned and said: "This cold wine is not good for the body, the girl just caught the cold, let's drink hot tea." ”
Ye Lingwu was silent for a while, and his throat with the bitter smell of bitter medicine in his mouth was astringent, and said, "Forget it, then bring a cup of hot tea." ”
Rong Xiu answered and went to pour tea, and waited for Ye Lingwu to lie down again before leaving the room.
Ye Lingwu lay on the bed for a while, as soon as he closed his eyes, the feeling of falling into the lake was like a wave, and his heart became more and more restless.
I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so I simply got up.
It was dark outside, but fortunately the moonlight was bright, and she just wandered along the corridor and didn't go astray.
The cool breeze of the spring night was blowing on her face, and the irritability in her heart dissipated a lot.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of voice from the corridor around the corner, and the voice came from far and near, as if it was coming this way.
- "I went to investigate the moon, and I did find that there was something strange in the boundary of the moon, and the moon was my border fortress, and if there was a civil strife, I was afraid that foreign enemies would take the opportunity to take advantage of it. ”
Then there was a young man's voice with an indifferent voice: "In recent years, the Moon Saint has promoted several petty officials who are guilty of the moon, although they can't detect any clues, but it also makes the fish in the dark ditch of the moon a lot anxious. ”
Ye Lingwu was stunned.
The voice is...... Shen Zhan?
Ye Lingwu leaned out and glanced at it secretly.
Sure enough, a middle-aged man with a solemn expression in the distance walked towards this side with a lantern, and on the side was Shen Zhan, who had not been seen for many days.
Ye Lingwu was about to retract his gaze, but he didn't know that his throat was not angry, and he suddenly coughed sharply.
"Who!" The middle-aged man spoke up alertly.
Ye Lingwu hurriedly covered her mouth tightly, retracted her body in a panic, and there was a cold sweat behind her back, she looked left and right in fear, and saw that there was only one rockery around that could hide in addition to flowers and trees.
In desperation, she could only lift her skirt and turn around to run into the rockery, but before she could run a few steps, a sharp wind blew overhead, and a black shadow suddenly fell in front of her.
"Hmm!" It's so hard to see the wall of meat.
Ye Lingwu covered his nose, and when he raised his head, he saw Shen Zhan's smooth jaw angle like a knife.
And that cold, murderous gaze!
But then, that gaze softened.
Shen Zhan didn't expect that the girl who should be sleeping soundly in the house would actually appear here. Peach-colored upper skirt, plain white satin skirt.
The moonlight that penetrated the cracks of the rockery was reflected on her white little face, and she looked at him, like a beautiful picture, her eyebrows were like clouds and mountains, and her eyes were full of smoke.
I was stunned and afraid.
Shen Zhan forgot what to say for a while.
The four eyes met, Ye Lingwu suddenly felt that his legs were as heavy as lead, and his head was also blank, and he was stunned for a long time before he lowered his head tremblingly, and called softly: "Master Hou." ”
Ye Lingwu's voice was born with a soft glutinous smell of Jiangnan, probably because he was still young, and it sounded like a kitten's paws tickling people's hearts.
Shen Zhan came back to his senses, his expression returned to his usual indifference, and he cleared his throat and said, "Say, what did you hear again?" ”
What a "again" word.
Ye Lingwu only felt numb, and when she looked into his deep eyes, the dark brown pupils were as beautiful as stars, but she suddenly felt a chill.
