The weather is getting hotter and the days are getting longer.

It's almost summer, and the peonies in the courtyard have been sunburned for a long time, some of them are wilted, and the residual red is hidden in the green leaves, which is not as beautiful as in the past.

In the courtyard of Kefu, early in the morning, the Qin family was reprimanding his subordinates.

"How do the people in this house do things, and I haven't seen such a big dripping water? I made a new blanket yesterday, and I printed a watermark today, I don't have to get used to you every day, all of you are lazy to learn! ”

Ke Chengxing just changed his clothes and came out, and what he heard was that the Qin family was training, and he couldn't help frowning.

He walked outside, coughed lightly, and said in a relaxed tone, "Why are you angry again?" Isn't it just that the blanket was soiled, maybe it rained last night, which girl accidentally brought it in. ”

"What carelessness, who carelessly can get into such a big puddle of water?" Qin's willow eyebrows were upside down, "Look clearly, this footprint is so clear, it seems that it was deliberately stepped on." No, Ping'er, you go and call all the girls in the courtyard to come in, and compare them with shoes one by one, I have to find out this killer today! ”

Ke Chengxing had a headache when he heard this, so he hurriedly found an excuse to avoid it.

When he got out of the house, Wanfu brought him a cup of tea to rinse his mouth, Ke Chengxing used it, and asked casually: "Why haven't you seen Wanquan for some days?" ”

Wanfu's eyes flickered a few times, and he said with a smile: "It's a shame that my grandfather is worried, a few days ago his cousin in Zhuangzi came, and the two brothers agreed to go up the mountain to play, I didn't expect him to care, let him go, and it will take a few days to return." ”

Ke Chengxing nodded: "He's young, it's good to move around more." ”

Wan Fu responded with a smile, and walked a few more steps, Ke Chengxing sighed: "I don't know what's going on, I haven't slept well these days, and I have to wake up four or five times a night." Sometimes I fell asleep, and suddenly woke up, and when I saw it, it was only four watches. ”

Wan Fu proposed: "Why don't you find a doctor to take a look?" ”

Ke Chengxing thought about it and agreed. So I took the post and invited a familiar doctor, and the doctor took the pulse and looked at the illness, but he didn't find anything wrong, and prescribed some soothing prescriptions and left.

After the doctor left, Wan Fu saw that Ke Chengxing was still a little depressed, and comforted him: "The master is relieved, maybe the weather is hot and people are uncomfortable." We'll see when I've taken these patches. ”

Ke Chengxing nodded, went outside again, and when he returned to the house, he found that the Qin family was sitting in the house sulking.

Ke Chengxing stepped forward with a smile and grabbed her shoulder: "Can you find out whose mud footprints are?" ”

"Nope!" Qin Shi angrily shook his hand away, "It's strange that you said it, the maids in this courtyard are all right, and they didn't find the owner of the footprints, it's really hell!" ”

Ke Chengxing smiled: "I can't find it, it's just a blanket, just buy another one tomorrow." ”

Qin sneered: "It's so easy to say, you don't know firewood, rice, oil and salt, and your tone is so big......" She said in a huff, her tongue was fast, and there were maids and wives waiting around, Ke Chengxing's face was red, and he endured it for a long time, and finally escaped into the study.

After entering the study, Ke Chengxing breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid of this lady.

Speaking of which, the Qin family is also pretty, and she is also the daughter of a petty official, and in terms of conditions, it is really the Ke family's high climbing. But Xu is pampered at home, Qin's temperament is a little more domineering, and when he arrives at the Ke family, he first grasps the power of the housekeeper in his hands, and his temperament is spicy. The input in Ke's shop was recorded in the account, and Ke Chengxing didn't dare to take it at will.

Old Madam Ke always advised him to be patient for the time being, and when he gave birth to his sister-in-law, Qin's temperament would naturally converge. But every time Ke Chengxing faced his newly married wife, he always had a feeling of breathlessness.

Whenever this happens, Ke Chengxing thinks of Lu.

Lu's temperament is completely different from Qin's, she is always gentle and gentle, she puts him first in everything, and is considerate everywhere. She is also good-looking, her eyes are bright, her heart is good, and when she turns around and walks, she is just like a willow shaking flower and smiling at Chuyan.

Such a Lu family, no man will not be attracted to her, so in Fengle Building, she will ......

Ke Chengxing shuddered violently and didn't continue to think about it.

Wan Fu came in from outside, brought him some fresh melons and fruits, and made a pot of tea. The Qin clan was not only spicy, but also controlled him very strictly, and after entering the door, he beat the maid who was waiting in the yard first, even if he wanted to climb, he didn't dare to move again when he saw the Qin clan.

After a long time, Ke Chengxing inevitably felt itchy in his heart.

He asked Wanfu: "Have you collected all the rent you asked me to collect before?" ”

Wanfu's heart jumped, and he smiled quietly: "It's almost there, it's still a little close." ”

Ke Chengxing said "um" and said in a low voice: "In a few days, while her birthday is past laziness, she will take the rent and go to Fengle Building with me to relax." ”

Wanfu responded with a smile, and replied with a few more words of Ke Chengxing's question, and then retreated.

It was almost noon, and the sun was getting stronger, shining through the window into the house, and the sun made people lazy and sleepy.

Ke Chengxing wanted to hide in the study to avoid Qin's nagging for a while, so he grabbed a book to read, but who knew that he fell asleep unconsciously when he looked at it.

He hadn't slept well for several days, and this time he slept very deeply, and he had a dream.

In the dream, he slept on the couch, and there was a young woman with a fallen horsehair next to the bed, who was bowing her head and folding the quilt with him, this woman was wearing a light color shirt with moon white and gold flowers, and her posture was slender and exquisite, and she couldn't see her face clearly when she hung her head, and she could only see a small red hemorrhoid on the back of her neck.

The beauty is in his arms, Ke Chengxing is inevitably uneasy, and he wants to sit up and hug each other, but he can't move no matter what, but he can only hear the woman's voice drifting into his ears from far and near, and calling him one after another: "Master." ”

He vaguely felt that this voice was a little familiar, and he didn't know where he had heard it, and he was thinking about it hard, and suddenly felt that his body was cold, and he subconsciously looked up, and saw that the woman was hanging her head, and drops of cold water dripped down the woman's black hair, soaking the bedding on his body to the cold.

"You ......"

The woman raised her head, revealing a miserable white and delicate face: "Master......"

Ke Chengxing screamed.

He opened his eyes suddenly, the sunlight outside was warm, and the peony flowers in the courtyard were fragrant, Ke Chengxing wiped his face, only to find that cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then scolded in a low voice: "Bad luck! ”

On such a good day, I dreamed of the Lu family for no reason. The small red hemorrhoids on the back of his deceased wife's neck now look no longer as cute as before, but it is terrifying, reminiscent of the day she died, the salvaged corpse was in the sun, and the red hemorrhoids were as dazzling as blood.

Ke Chengxing rubbed his eyebrows, suddenly felt a little hot on his body, looked down, and he didn't know who had put a thin blanket on his body.

With a blanket on such a hot day, it's no wonder he sweats. Ke Chengxing said unhappily: "Wanfu, Wanfu-"

He called twice, Wanfu didn't answer, so he stood up and wanted to call someone outside the door, but just after taking two steps, Ke Chengxing suddenly paused.

The door of the study was closed, and from the desk in front of his window to the door of the study, a line of wet footprints appeared at some point.

The footprints were stained with water, as if the visitor had just gotten up from the water and walked here, dripping with a line of dark water stains.

The shape is small, and the palm comes long.

It was the footprints of a line of women.
