Tonight was a difficult night for Jin Nanxue, from closing her eyes to dreaming, the original owner's daily life skipped in her mind like a short film, until she dreamed of a strange room.

She saw herself lying on the bed in disheveled clothes, a tall man with his back to her departing back, although she couldn't see the other party's face, but she could feel that it was not her husband Jiang Qi, this scene made her heart tremble.

Then I dreamed that the original owner was sitting in the carriage with a muddy appearance, and then in the quiet of the night, a white silk was thrown on the beam, and the familiar and pale face was full of thoughts......

Jin Nanxue opened her eyes suddenly.

At night, it was extremely quiet, and I could vaguely hear the sound of beating the watchman outside, and the sound was about four watches, but she didn't have the slightest sleepiness before dawn.

Afraid of alarming the agarwood on night duty outside, she put on a smock and gently got out of bed and walked to the window by the blurred moonlight.

Reaching out to open a window, a cold air suddenly rushed in, she couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly tightened the overcoat on her body.

The scene in the dream gradually became clear in her mind, clear enough for her to understand that it was really what happened to the original owner.

Who is the strange man in the dream, and why did he appear in the same room as the original owner? And the original owner's calm expression on the carriage, what happened?

Jin Nanxue faintly guessed a possibility, in this era, people attach great importance to women's honors, and they are not allowed to be criticized at all, if it is really like in a dream, it is not difficult to understand why the original owner would hang himself on the beam of the house without saying a word.

But it's too strange, her identity is the dignified marquis, not the wife of ordinary people, who has the courage to do such a thing?

Thinking of the short time with Jiang Qi last night, the temptation between Jiang Qi's words, his eyes dodged when he talked to her, and he couldn't wait to leave when he heard Aunt Lian's voice, all kinds of performances were in the position of a bystander, no matter how he looked at it, this Hou Ye seemed to be a master who was not good at hiding his thoughts, could it be that the things in the dream were related to him?

If this is the case, then most of the death of the original owner was caused by him, and as for the reason, we can only find it slowly.

Early the next morning, when Agarwood and Shang Lu came in to serve, they found that Jin Nanxue's expression was wilted and couldn't lift her spirits, her complexion was still not good, and she couldn't help but worry again, Jin Nanxue knew that her body was fine, but she couldn't sleep after waking up in the middle of the night, and she was thinking crankily, so she was sluggish, how could her spirit be good?

This kind of reason is not easy to say, so he said lightly: "I'm fine, but I didn't sleep well last night, I don't need to ask the house doctor to come over, and then I will have to prescribe medicine. ”

When the two girls saw that she insisted on refusing to ask the government doctor to come for treatment, they couldn't persuade her again.

Shang Lu opened the wardrobe and chose the clothes that the master wore today, and said while rummaging: "Madame is right, it won't rain outside today, Madame may as well go to the yard after breakfast for a while, the silver-leaved chrysanthemum planted under the corridor has bloomed, Madame must like it." ”

Jin Nanxue walked over to take a look, and saw that the huge huanghuali dragon and phoenix pattern wardrobe was stuffed full, and several large partitions separated by wooden boards were divided into categories and piled up with all kinds of clothes, but most of the clothes were made of indigo, dark green and other dark colors suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to wear, only a few bright colors were placed in the most marginal compartment.

Shang Lu chattered endlessly while choosing, saying that he wanted to choose a festive dress for his wife, and Agarwood also came over to help.

"Hey, what's in this baggage?"

Seeing a silk cloth bag in the cabinet, Jin Nanxue took it out casually and put it on the table to open it, and the two girls also came up curiously, Jin Nanxue always likes to stay in the house alone in her spare time, either reading books or embroidering needlework, and she doesn't need them to accompany her, so this little burden should be made by Jin Nanxue herself.

The burden is not big, open it and see that there are a bunch of small clothes worn by babies, all made of soft fabrics, in addition to small clothes, there are a few small hats, baby shoes, each piece is made very delicately like a work of art, at a glance is the original owner's craftsmanship.

Jin Nanxue didn't notice the embarrassed eyes of the two girls, picked up a small dress and admired it with great interest for a while, only to remember that she had never been pregnant after marrying into the mansion for three years, and there were no aunts in the mansion, so what did she do with these little clothes?

Agarwood smiled and interrupted: "Madame likes to do needlework when she has nothing to do on weekdays, and when she has a little master, she will be more proficient in her skills. ”

Saying that, Agarwood turned around and picked up a piece of clothing to show Jin Nanxue, and motioned to Shang Lu to put away the small burden on the table.

Shang Lu quickly repacked the package on the table and put it in the closet, and then picked up the clothes selected by Agarwood to change for Jin Nanxue.

Jin Nanxue turned her head to look at it by such a distraction, and saw Shang Lu holding a lilac soft smoke skirt in his hand, and a goose-yellow snow satin gown embroidered with tangled branches and begonias in the other hand, which was indeed eye-catching to match.

Realizing that the two girls deliberately diverted the topic, she glanced at the closet and stopped talking, but she pondered in her heart, as if there was some important information flashing in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy and raised her forehead and groaned.

Agarwood hurriedly supported her and said with concern: "What's wrong with Madam, but you're still uncomfortable?" Shang Lu, go and ask the doctor to come over, and he said that he would diagnose the pulse of his wife. ”

Shang Lu answered and went out.

When Mama Jiang walked into the main room, she saw Jin Nanxue sitting on the chaise longue in front of the window with a calm and dignified posture as in the past, but the dress on her body today was not as plain as usual, and the lilac dress and goose yellow gown made the already cold and beautiful face more and more difficult to take off her eyes.

Mama Jiang stepped forward to greet her with her usual smile on the corner of her mouth, Jin Nanxue also politely returned the salute, and asked the girl to bring her an embroidery stool to sit and talk, and Mama Jiang humbly gave in before sitting down.

She has been serving by the old lady's side for many years, and she is the first decent person in this house, not to mention Jin Nanxue, Mrs. Hou, even the Hou Ye and the two married aunts and grandmothers are also polite when they see her, so today she came over in person to go This trip Jin Nanxue naturally can't be lazy.

Mama Jiang's kung fu has always been very good, even if the status of the master in front of her in the mansion is precarious or even inferior to her as a minion, but Mama Jiang is not bad at all when she speaks.

"I think it's because of the cold weather these days, so that Mrs. accidentally got a cold, the old lady was very worried, and specially called the house doctor over to ask carefully for a long time, knowing that Mrs. is not a big problem except for the cold, so she is a little relieved, and I am afraid that the girl next to Mrs. is not sensible and does not serve well, no, I sent the old slave over early this morning to see if Mrs. is better."

How could Jin Nanxue not understand the meaning of Mama Jiang's words? She smiled softly and said: "Mrs. Lao is worried, I saw the house doctor yesterday and drank a few patches of medicine, and now there is no big problem, and I have come over for a trip." ”

Mama Jiang smiled even more: "That's good, the old slave looks much better than yesterday, and when the old slave goes back to the old lady, her old man will be relieved." The old lady said that she was exempted from asking Mrs. for a few days, and Mrs. was in the house to recuperate well, and it was not too late to wait for her body to recover. ”

Jin Nanxue smiled softly and said: "Thank you for the old lady's care, I can't serve the old lady every day without fighting for my body, I don't want to go, the weather is cold in the morning and evening these days, and the old lady has to bother to take care of her grandmother carefully, don't catch a cold." ”

"This is natural, it is the duty of the old slave to serve the old lady well, and the lady just needs to take care of herself and everything will be fine."

The two said some nice things again, and Mama Jiang said goodbye and left.
