Chapter 90: The Garden of the Third Lady
Backyard, orchid garden.
Because the third lady's name is Fang Lanxiang, the small courtyard here is named after it.
Before they could get close, the scent of orchids wafted in the wind.
When Luo Qingfeng was about to arrive at the gate of the small courtyard, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Will Lord Guogong come to eat?" ”
Miss Dong Er said softly: "Daddy is busy with business, and he is not in the house today. ”
Dong Miaomiao pouted on the side and said: "It's good if Daddy doesn't come, as soon as he comes, he will reprimand us, with Daddy here, we don't dare to speak." ”
When Luo Qingfeng heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "In this way, it will be inconvenient to go in below." ”
Don't talk about the dignified Ning Guofu.
In any house, the backyard is not something that a random strange man can enter.
There are women living here.
He entered as a young man, what kind of system did he become?
If the other party has other intentions, as long as he steps into the small courtyard, he can justifiably arrest him and beat him to death.
Whether it is lynching or reporting to the official, he will be unlucky.
Dong Miaomiao hurriedly grabbed his wide sleeves and said, "Sir, your words don't count!" Obviously promised us! You said that a gentleman's words are quick to whip! ”
Before Luo Qingfeng could speak, Miss Dong Er, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the side, laughed softly: "Mr. Luo, don't worry, the little woman has already asked people to call the second brother." The second brother was just a little better, and he just came out to have a meal and relax. ”
Then he said softly: "We don't go into the house, we just eat in the small courtyard, and the maids and servants are there." ”
This Second Miss Dong is really smart, and she immediately knew his worries.
Moreover, it has been prepared for a long time.
If there is Dong Ergongzi as a companion, and in the small courtyard, there are maids and servants watching, then there is naturally no problem.
Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "Then wait for the second son here, and the second and third ladies will go in first." ”
That second son, it should be the one that Sister Nightingale once said, who suddenly fell ill and was bedridden, and suspected of being harmed by demons, right?
It's just the right time to get to know and observe.
This meal inevitably made him a little nervous.
After all, there are two objects of suspicion.
At the same time, another victim will appear.
The point is, it seems that he is the only one who is facing it, and the other demon slayers probably want to come in, but they can't find a reason.
"We're here then...... Together...... Waiting for the second brother together. ”
Miss Dong Er said softly.
She didn't know what she was suffering from, but after a few more words, she was out of breath, as if she was about to run out of breath.
Luo Qingfeng glanced at her pale face, and secretly thought in his heart: If she is a demon, it is actually reasonable, this state, from childhood to adulthood, who can guarantee that there will be no psychological lesions? It should be easier for the demon to take advantage of the weakness to invade and use his emotions to make waves.
Not much.
Several subordinates surrounded a tall, thin, handsome, pale-faced young man in a blue robe, and walked over from a path not far away.
The young man walked with vague steps, his eyes and pupils were dull, and his face did not look bloodless, and he walked slowly, but he was panting and looking extremely weak.
When Miss Dong Er saw the visitor, she introduced softly: "Mr. Luo, this is my second brother, his name is Dong Yun, you can call it as you like, don't be too restrained." ”
Before Dong Yun approached, he arched his hand to Luo Qingfeng, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, and said, "This is the Mr. Luo that the second sister said, right?" Fortunately, fortunately. ”
Luo Qingfeng said secretly: This second son of Dong is polite and polite to people.
He also hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Luo Qingfeng has seen the second son. ”
Dong Yun walked closer, held his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo is welcome, I heard that Miao Miao and them only took one class from Mr., and they were impressed by Mr. Luo's teaching method, and they all became interested in learning." There is Mr. Luo in the middle school hall of my house, and I don't have to worry about those little guys thinking about skipping class all day long, and I will have to worry about Mr. Luo more in the future. ”
Luo Qingfeng said: "It should be." ”
Dong Miaomiao said impatiently on the side: "Okay, second brother, we have been waiting here for a long time, if you don't come, Mr. won't dare to go in, let's go in quickly." ”
Dong Yun said with a smile: "Mr. is a person who knows etiquette, but here, there is no need to be so restrained." My third aunt was hospitable, and inviting my husband to dinner was also to express her gratitude, and my father was also in favor. ”
Several people entered the small courtyard together.
In the middle of the small courtyard, tables and chairs have already been set up, and the coffee table next to it is full of melon and fruit desserts and some small snacks.
Dong Miaomiao ran to get two red plum preserves, ate one herself, came over and handed one to Luo Qingfeng, and said, "Sir, try it." ”
Luo Qingfeng took it and said, "Thank you." ”
Dong Yun said with a smile on the side: "I've never seen you so attentive to others, the second brother is here, and I haven't seen you bring something to eat for the second brother." ”
Dong Miaomiao said with a smile: "The second brother can take it himself, Mr. is the first time to come, and he is thin-skinned, and he is probably embarrassed to take it if he wants to eat, so I will help him take it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the maids on the side covered their mouths and smiled.
Dong Yun also smiled: "You are very considerate to your husband, and you have never seen such sensible and considerate to your father and your mother." ”
At this time, a young woman in a purple dress came out of the house and said with a smile: "What Yun'er said is that the first time I saw this girl so eager to please others, she has never been so kind to her father and mother. ”
Dong Yun lowered his head and said, "I've seen the third aunt." ”
Luo Qingfeng also hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Qingfeng has seen the third lady. ”
Fang Lanxiang said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, don't be polite, just sit down, let Yun'er and Xiangxue talk to Mr. for a while, and I have to go to the kitchen to help." ”
Miss Dong Er said with a smile: "The third aunt cooks herself, so we can have a good meal at noon." ”
Fang Lanxiang smiled and went to the kitchen.
A few people sat down at the table, and the maid came over to pour tea.
Dong Miaomiao snatched the teapot, poured it for Luo Qingfeng personally, and said with a grin: "Sir, can you tell us the story of the stone monkey again?" ”
At this time, Dong Xiaopang also hurriedly came over and said, "Mr. secretly told us, we won't say it." ”
Luo Qingfeng said: "That's not good, I said that I would talk about it in the next class, so I will talk about it in the next class." ”
Dong Miaomiao had no choice but to say again: "Can that gentleman tell us in advance, how did the stone monkey finally come out of Wuzhi Mountain?" Did he learn a powerful spell, or was someone else saving him? Or did the Buddha take the initiative to let him go? ”
Luo Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I can't say it, I can't say it." ”
Dong Miaomiao suddenly pursed her lips, pulled his sleeves, and when she was about to entangle, Miss Dong Er on the side smiled and said, "Okay Miaomiao, Mr. hasn't eaten yet, don't scare Mr. away." ”
Dong Miaomiao had no choice but to let go, pouting and saying, "Mr. is stingy." ”
Then he suddenly leaned into Luo Qingfeng's ear and whispered: "If Mr. is not stingy, people will let you secretly look at your feet later, okay?" ”
The corners of Luo Qingfeng's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly "coughed", and said with his head away: "Third Miss, men and women are not kissed, and it is unreliable to be so close." ”
Dong Miaomiao snorted and said, "Stingy ghost! ”
With that, he turned away and ignored him.
Dong Yun on the side said with a smile: "Mr. Luo doesn't have to care, Miao Miao has been such a temper since she was a child, she is still a child, she is a little more willful, and her father has always spoiled her, so it will be good when she grows up." ”
Dong Miaomiao was jumping and kicking the shuttlecock next to her, and when she heard this, she turned her head and said, "People are not young, they are only one year younger than Dong Yaozu's guy." ”
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Dong Yun's face suddenly froze.
Miss Dong Er on the side also frowned slightly.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.
Luo Qingfeng keenly captured this change, and said secretly in his heart: Dong Yaozu is the lame son of the fourth lady, and it is said that he accidentally injured his leg when he played with this second son when he was a child. In the past two days of class, the fourth son has not been here, and it is estimated that because of lameness, he is not very gregarious, and his relationship with these people is not very good.
However, how could Dong Miaomiao suddenly mention the fourth son?
Is it intentional? Or is it unintentional?
Also, Dong Ergongzi and Miss Dong Er, after hearing this, their faces seemed to change.
At this moment, Luo Qingfeng had many questions in his heart.
But in front of so many people, it's hard to ask.
He secretly thought in his heart: should I find an opportunity to talk to this little girl alone and ask about the specific situation?
But in the captain's opinion, this little girl is also one of the suspects.
Besides, the small footprints under the window that night were indeed somewhat similar.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the little feet under the skirt of Miss Dong San again, and said secretly: If it was really her that night, what purpose did she have? Why go there in the middle of the night? It can't be to listen to a story, right?
While thinking like this, Dong Miaomiao suddenly said again: "By the way, I heard that Dong Yaozu's guy was scratched by a maid a few days ago. Hee-hee, you deserve it! ”
As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingfeng's heart was shocked again.
Dong Yun hurriedly said: "Miao Miao, don't talk nonsense, it's all nonsense, how can there be such a thing." Which maid has the audacity to arrest him? ”
Dong Miaomiao stood on one foot, stopped the flying shuttlecock on one of the little feet, turned her head and snorted coldly: "He is light and thin, and the little maid of others does not obey, so he naturally wants to scratch his face." Hmph, I heard that the little maid was beaten by the fourth aunt and almost beaten to death, and then drove out of the house. ”
Miss Dong Er frowned slightly and did not speak.
Dong Yun lowered his face and said: "Miao Miao, don't talk about it, my father has explained this matter, but let's talk about it again." It's all people chewing their tongues, and they can't be taken seriously. ”
Dong Miaomiao sneered, continued to kick the shuttlecock, and said crisply: "You are afraid that the ugliness of the family will be publicized, and you don't want Mr. to know, I'm not afraid." Facts are facts, yes, no, no, I dare to say to anyone. ”
Dong Yun was afraid that he would talk nonsense again, so he hurriedly said, "You go to the kitchen and take a look, and help your mother do something." ”
Dong Miaomiao jumped lightly, put away the shuttlecock, and said with a smile: "I'm not going, my hands are so good-looking, but they don't do rough work, why doesn't the second brother let the second sister go?" ”
Dong Yun glanced at her and said, "Pure nonsense, can your second sister do things?" ”
Dong Miaomiao said with a smile: "The second brother still feels sorry for the second sister, he has been distressed since he was a child, and he has helped the second sister do everything well in advance." ”
Dong Yun said angrily: "If you are in a wheelchair, the second brother will also feel sorry for you." ”
Dong Miaomiao immediately crossed Xiao Man's waist and said, "Second brother curses me? ”
Dong Yun said: "Don't dare, the second brother doesn't dare to beat anyone, and the key is not to win." ”
Dong Miaomiao smiled "poof" and said, "Speaking of beating, of course the second brother can't beat me." Miss Ben is in the house, but she is invincible in the whole house! ”
The two brothers and sisters were talking, Luo Qingfeng pretended to be drinking tea, looking at the flowers and scenery in the corner of the small courtyard, but in fact, they all remembered it word for word, and occasionally observed Miss Dong Er on the side.
The conversations seemed casual chats, but he felt that there should be a lot of useful information.
Although Dong Miaomiao is not very old and looks unreliable, she seems to know a lot of things, and even knows about the affairs of the fourth lady, it seems that she really needs to find a way to talk to her alone and find out some news from her.
Regardless of whether she is suspicious or not, some of the things she said are at least traceable and do not seem to be fake.
Just as she was thinking like this, Miss Dong Er on the side asked softly, "Where is Mr. Luo from?" ”
The second lady was probably afraid of snubbing him, so she deliberately found some topics to talk to him.
Luo Qingfeng said: "Local, Wangxing County, originally lived in a small mountain village outside the city. ”
Miss Dong Er was a little surprised, and said, "Then where did Mr. Luo learn this talent?" ”
Luo Qingfeng said modestly: "It's not talented, it's just a little cultured." Read more, think more, and there you will be. ”
Miss Dong Er smiled: "That's not necessarily, many people have been reading books all their lives, just like those previous teachers, but their real skills are like a cloud of mud compared to Mr. ”
Luo Qingfeng said: "Second Miss praised it falsely. ”
Miss Dong Er asked again: "Mr. is so young and has such ability, presumably he will definitely go to high school in the scientific examination next year." Although I look at the stars in Star City, there should not be many talents like Mr., and Mr. will definitely be a blockbuster when the time comes. ”
Luo Qingfeng arched his hand and said: "Borrow the second lady's auspicious words, if it is really high school by then, I will definitely come to thank the second miss." ”
Miss Dong Er smiled: "Thank you, don't dislike us Ning Guofu at that time, don't ignore us, the little woman is very grateful." ”
At this time, Dong Miaomiao hurriedly came over and asked, "Sir, you won't leave here then, will you?" If there is no gentleman in the school, we will not study. ”
When Luo Qingfeng didn't know how to answer, Dong Yun on the side suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Luo married?" ”
Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Not yet." ”
Dong Yun and Miss Dong Er glanced at each other and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I have a younger sister, who is also old and not yet married, coincidentally, she also likes to read, she ......"
Dong Miaomiao, who was on the side, suddenly blushed, stomped her feet shyly and said, "Second brother, I don't like to read!" I...... I'm not old yet. ”
Everyone froze and looked at her.
Miss Dong Er couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Dong Yun said with a strange expression: "Miao Miao, who is talking about you?" The second brother is talking about your cousin every day. You won't ......."
"Ahh My mother called me in the kitchen! ”
Dong Miaomiao suddenly exclaimed, covered her blushing little face, turned around and fled.
The maids on the side all covered their mouths and snickered.
Dong Yun arched his hand and said, "Mr. Luo, if you have time in the afternoon, I will take you to meet my cousin, and you can have a chat." ”
Luo Qingfeng bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you Second Son, but there are already girls I like below." ”
When Dong Yun heard this, he was still smiling: "It's okay, you meet first, talk, and get to know each other." Men, it's normal to have three wives and four concubines. ”
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "It's good to be able to pass on the family lineage." ”
Miss Dong Er bowed her head slightly and did not speak again.
Not much.
The third lady, Fang Lanxiang, came out of the round door with the maids with sumptuous dishes.
Dong Miaomiao blushed, lowered her head, and hid at the back.
The table was quickly filled with dishes.
All kinds of fish and shrimp, meat, vegetables, you name it.
The people standing around the maids all swallowed their saliva quietly.
Luo Qingfeng smelled this tempting fragrance, and his stomach growled.
When Fang Lanxiang heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat, let's eat, everyone is welcome, and there is no one else." ”
Then he turned his head and said strangely: "Miao Miao, why are you hiding behind the maid?" Didn't you just shout that you were hungry? Come and eat. ”
Dong Xiaopang, who had already sat down on the side, suddenly laughed and said: "Mother, just now the second brother said that he wanted to introduce a younger sister to my husband, and my sister thought it was ...... Ahh
Before he could finish his sentence, the stool under his ass suddenly flew out.
He fell to the ground, grinning in pain and wailing.
Dong Miaomiao stood behind him, her pretty face was slightly cold, but she was full of redness, and even her two little ears were red.
"If you dare to talk more, your ass will be kicked to rot! Hum! ”
Luo Qingfeng's heart was slightly cold.
The little girl's kick just now was so fast, he didn't even react.
And at first, she was clearly standing a few meters away.
