Early the next morning, Lu Jingyuan went to the secluded pavilion in Biluo Garden, where Mrs. Gan, whom he respected most in his life, lived.

Walking into the pavilion door and bypassing the screen that blocked the idlers, Lu Jingyuan looked into the inner room, the bead curtain was empty, and he turned around with some joy.

As soon as he crossed the verandah, he heard the sound of frolicking and playing, so he quickened his pace.

"Mother, are you better, if you have only recovered for a short time, you have to pay attention to your body, that day I saw my mother sick and lying on the bed, which made my son anxious. Lu Jingyuan stood on the steps and his eyes were a little moved, both relieved and worried, for fear that something would happen again.

"My son is back?" Mrs. Gan was now sitting in a wooden wheelchair, with a thin blanket on her legs, and her face was much better and more bloody than when she had been unconscious a few days ago. Hearing the warm voice behind him, he was suddenly shocked, and the servant girl serving beside him slowly turned the wheelchair.

"Jing Yuan is really you?" Mrs. Gan's voice trembled slightly.

"Mother, I'm back, the child is unfilial, which worries the mother. Lu Jingyuan hurriedly greeted her, walked to the middle-aged woman who was dressed elegantly, squatted down on her knees, held Mrs. Gan's slender palm, her eyes were slightly red, and she blamed herself.

"My son is not at fault, but I am worried about you for my mother. Now that I can see my son standing in front of me safe and sound, I am satisfied with my mother, and I dare not ask for any more luxury. Mrs. Gan silently shed tears, and tightly held the hand of the fox man, looking excited.

"Mother, what does the son say, the son will have to wait until the mother is fifty years old to bring the child to honor you, but you can't talk nonsense. ”

"Okay, wait for that day to come sooner for my mother. Mrs. Gan burst into tears and smiled, and her face was a little better.

"How did my son choose this secluded courtyard for me, although it is a little remote, but the environment is lush and green, and the canal water is clear, I like it very much. ”

"My mother likes to stay there forever. Lu Jingyuan's heart warmed, and he stood up leisurely, pinching the crossbar at the back of the chair seat with both hands, and gently pushing the wooden wheelchair.

"By the way, Jing'er, yesterday the daughter of Wang Shangshu in the west of the city came to visit me, I saw that the girl has not yet come out of the pavilion, she looks handsome, quite well-behaved, and she is also a beautiful and wise person, others have come to see me again and again, and I like her very much. Mrs. Gan spoke slowly, and Lu Jingyuan listened quietly with a smile on her face, and did not interrupt her.

"Jing'er, you are also the eldest now, you are no longer the kid who ran around the streets behind my ass back then, and you should think about your life's affairs. ”

"Okay, well, whatever the mother says, the son listens. ”

"Then what do you think of Wang Shangshu's daughter?"

"Wang Ruoxin is very good-looking, her figure is also first-class, and she is also well-read, and she is also a famous and talented woman favored by a scholar in Yangzhou City, which is very good. Lu Jingyuan spoke eloquently, and said whatever he wanted.

"Then do you like her? If you like your mother to help you make the decision, go with your father to propose marriage to Wang Shangshu. Mrs. Gan smiled, she couldn't do anything about this son who had always refused to marry a wife and have children, and today I heard him say that the daughter of the Wang family was so good, does it mean that this kid has opened his mind?

"At most, it's just appreciation, not to mention liking, don't mess around, she and I are pro-plum sweethearts, and we are friends who see the truth in adversity. ”

"What about Murong Yu of the Murong family in the capital, I see that she is also a beautiful lady with both color and art. ”

Her brother is a well-known martial arts general in the court, and he is very short-tempered, and if I have a conflict with her in the future, she runs back to her mother's house, and her brother will not have to draw a knife and slash me, or not, or not. ”

"You, you, I'm afraid you're going to be lonely and old age. Mrs. Gan sighed silently, her eyes fluctuating slightly.

"Mother, I must have found the person I really like, don't worry about it, the twisted melon is not sweet. ”

"Then I must wait until the day you marry a wife and have children, otherwise your mother and I will not be able to turn a blind eye when we die, and we will have no shame to meet our ancestors and ancestors, let alone your biological mother. ”

"My mother will definitely live a long life, and she is not allowed to say these foolish words again. Lu Jingyuan held Mrs. Gan's hand tightly, just like Mrs. Gan held his hand when she was a teenager, which couldn't help but make people nostalgic.

"Mother, I'll take you out for a walk, the flowers are blooming this year. ”

"Good. ”

Lu Jingyuan pushed the wooden wheelchair to the garden of Biluo Garden, Mrs. Gan looked at the grand occasion of a hundred flowers blooming for a while, since lying on the soft collapse she has never been on the ground, accompanied by decoction all day long, the body is stained with a strange smell of medicine, outside the window has been spring, but she does not know at all, at this time bathed in the warm sunshine, she is comfortable physically and mentally.

"Mother, in a while it will be the Lantern Festival, and when my father and the third sister and fourth brother come back, our family can get together once, so my mother is in good health at the moment, and she must get better quickly. Lu Jingyuan looked ahead, his face full of relief.

"Second son, eldest lady. ”

Just as Lu Jingyuan was about to push Mrs. Gan back to the residence, a crisp voice sounded, and he looked up without too much expression, but Mrs. Gan who sat down was overjoyed.

"Ling'er, come here, let Madame take a good look at you. "Mrs. Gan has always been very fond of this henchman beside Lu Jingyuan, although she is nominally different from Lu Jingyuan's master and servant, but Ziling is not the kind of maid who was born in a small family and sold herself to a mansion with a big surname.

She is the "widow" entrusted by the deceased by the head of the family Lu Zhan, because the old man said not to give the little girl too good an identity, as long as she lives peacefully, so she is willing to be the confidant maid of the second son in accordance with the original intention of the little girl.

In Lu Jingyuan's heart, the status of this henchman maid may not be comparable to that of few people.

"Ling'er, I've grown so big, the children who only had my waist and low height, and hid behind my skirt when I was wronged, have become adults in a blink of an eye. Mrs. Gan quietly looked at the slim young girl in front of her, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, they were all children she watched grow up little by little, and now the children have grown up to be peerless, but she is sick and old and yellow, isn't it sad.

"Is the eldest lady feeling better now, the weather will not be warm soon, and she still has to take care of her body, so that she can often come to enjoy the good scenery from winter to spring year after year. Ziling squatted in front of Mrs. Gan's legs, reached out to hold the middle-aged woman's slightly cold hands, and wanted to give her more warmth.

"Seeing my Ling'er, the eldest lady only felt better in spirit. ”

"The eldest lady Ji has her own natural appearance, and she has to wait for the children to honor you in the future. ”

"That's right, that's right, I still want to see the day when Jing'er and Ling'er are fathers and mothers, and have children. Mrs. Gan was in a better and better mood, and she couldn't stop smiling.

"Ling'er doesn't have a sweetheart yet, these things are still early, the eldest lady ......" Zi Lingjiao snorted, not angry, just blushing, red to the root of her ears.

"It's not small, Jing'er should marry a wife, where is Ling'er still young......"

"Big lady...... , second son, help me. ”

"Hahaha, Jing'er is too much to protect herself, and you still count on him ......"

When the sun was approaching, the two sent Mrs. Gan back to the courtyard, and after carefully instructing all kinds of things, they left Biluo Garden together.

Mrs. Gan recovered from a serious illness, so the dinner taste was light and porridge, especially avoid oil and meat, it is advisable to nourish the stomach and nourish yin, and after the meal, a maid will serve her to go to bed to rest.

The air flow in the living room is smooth, the bed is half-hidden, the candle flame is weak, and the screen pillars are like a tide surging like a tide, and a slight snoring sound rises.

In her deep sleep, Mrs. Gan only felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier, as if she was holding tens of millions of catties of rocks, and her limbs could not move a bit.

Looking for flowers in the fog, and picking the moon in the water.

It's hard to tell the real from the fake.

In her dream, she returned to the night five years ago, the stormy night, the night that made her so wrong.

On that day, the cabbage language rushed to Jingzhou with more than 20 servants because of the urgent matter of his mother's family, and walked halfway to Jingzhou, because of the heavy rain in the mountains, the soil of several mountains that stretched for about ten miles was soft all the year round, and it was not compact, causing floods to irrigate the roads and knock down large areas of trees. As a result, the official road was blocked and could not continue to pass, so the people discussed changing the path to the road, but it only took some strength and strength.

When the rain subsided and the sky darkened, there happened to be an abandoned old house in front of it, which was quite large, and it seemed that before the collapse of Weijiadao, this family was also a powerful figure. Everyone was overjoyed and rushed over like a wind under their feet, cleaned and sorted out for nearly half an hour, and barely restored the original appearance of the mansion of the wealthy family.

"Then let's borrow a night here tonight, you have a good rest, tomorrow when the sun rises is when we hurry, the mountain poisons and beasts are very many, do not go out without permission, lest there be branches outside the festival." After the cabbage language told everyone, he walked back to the cleanest and most tidy room.

This abandoned house is a four-entry courtyard, and the group only cleans out the courtyard closest to the main entrance, and selects side by side side side to live.

In the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep and couldn't sleep, tossed and turned, finally got up and put on his clothes and shoes, inspected the mountain rain outside the window lattice, lit the glass lamp and candle, pushed open the door and walked out.

Wandering aimlessly, she unconsciously turned to the second courtyard, where the grass was green, the puddles were crisscrossed, and the silence was surprising, and she walked calmly towards the verandah.

"Boom!"

"This thunder is really scary. Kale was taken aback.

She shrank back and took a few more steps towards the verandah in front of her.

As he walked, he suddenly stopped his steps and turned his head slowly to the left, as if he had caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

Between heaven and earth, there is light and darkness, she holds the wooden pole in her palm, the pole head is tied with a rope, and the glass cover wrapped in oil candles is suspended, the yellow light and shadow under her feet shrink back and forth, and the cabbage stares blankly at the woman in white who is stained with red blood ten steps away, and can no longer close her mouth.

For a long time, he shouted.

"Ahh

"Wei Xi, it wasn't me who killed you and the child in your womb! It's not me! It's not me! You go to Xu's family! You go to the master! Don't look for me! Don't look for me!"

"You're the one who killed me!" the white-clothed female ghost laughed.

"You not only killed me, but also killed Lu Jingyuan's biological mother Yun Shu, you vicious woman!

"It's not me, it's not me, Yun Shu's death, I didn't mean it, I was in distress on the mountain road that day, it was just that I couldn't hold her hand when I slipped for a while, I can't be blamed...... Can't blame me......" Ka Leyu's body was trembling constantly, and her expression was flustered, as if she had lost her soul.

"Nonsense! You deceived others, did you deceive yourself? Was it really a slippery hand at the time or did you suddenly let go, do you think no one saw it?" The white-clothed female ghost sneered.

"I, I, I......" Kale Yu seemed to fall into a daze, his cheeks were covered with sweat, and his face was pale.

"If you feel ashamed, come to the underworld to accompany us! We've been waiting for you for a long time!" the white-clothed female ghost suddenly flew over.

"Help, help!"

Hoarse cries and panicked footsteps drifted from the depths of the dimly lit verandah, and in a moment there was the sound of the walls collapsing, perhaps because of the decay of the old house, and the crumbling walls of a young woman, crushing to death a nest of foxes that were waiting to be fed from the cold.

As everyone knows, the big family to which the fox belongs has a famous female fox fairy named "Zhongyin"

The vicious curse originating from the Xuanyuan Fox Clan is like a maggot attached to the bone, and the cause and effect are great, and they are scattered around unscrupulously.
