When the sky was slightly bright, the clouds in the sky slowly gathered, and soon there was a small rain that ticked on everything in the world.

The leaves of the ginkgo biloba tree, which have long since withered and yellow, were swept to the ground by the autumn rain, like butterflies flying in the rain, indescribably strange and poignant.

Meng Ran, who got up in the morning, was covered with a splendid blanket that did not match the season, looked at the fine raindrops outside the window with a pale face, and sighed from time to time.

The green screen standing next to him asked softly, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Ran shook his head and ordered, "Go and close the window." ”

Green Screen sighed, closed the window gently, and returned to Meng Ran's side.

Meng Ran let out a long sigh again, and asked casually, "Green Screen, have you thought about it in the future?"

"What?"

"How will you live in the future?"

Green Screen thought for a moment and said slowly: "The slave didn't think about it. ”

Meng Ran smiled lightly and asked, "Haven't you thought about this before?"

Green Screen laughed embarrassedly and said cautiously: "I thought about it before, but then I didn't think about it anymore." ”

"Oh, what did you think before?" Meng Ran asked.

Green Screen's cheeks flushed, and he whispered as if whispering: "I used to think that I could be a concubine of a rich family, or find a diligent and honest family, but now that I am getting older, I don't have these ideas." ”

Meng Ran smiled dumbly, "You are only a lot, just say that you are old." ”

Green Screen pouted lightly: "It's not small, people of my age are basically already already, and some have even given birth to children." ”

Meng Ran smiled slightly, began to seriously look at the appearance of his maid, and teased in his mouth: "You want to have a figure, you want to have a face, why don't you want to get married?"

A faint trace of sadness appeared on the face of the green screen, and he said in a low tone: "A lady I used to serve, she was a concubine of a wealthy family, and when the lord was fine, she liked to run to her house and snubbed the mistress.

After a long time, the housewife began to make trouble, and was severely reprimanded by the master. After that, the mistress began to smile at her and visited her every once in a while, but I always felt that there was some terrible conspiracy behind it.

Sure enough, once the master went out of the house, the housewife immediately gave Mrs. a night pearl, but afterwards she wronged that Mrs. stole the ancestral heirloom she brought from her mother's house, and led a few healthy women in the kitchen to beat Mrs. up, and almost killed her at that time.

When the old man returned to the house, he saw that the lady who had broken his appearance was no longer interested, so he just gave two hundred taels of silver and sent the lady away. The lady was so angry that she put on a bright red embroidered dress in the dead of night and hanged herself in the courtyard.

The next morning, when I went out to fetch water, I saw the lady hanging from a branch, her cheeks were bruised, her tongue was sticking out, and she was staring at the void with resentment.

I was almost stupid, and the copper basin in my hand fell to the ground with a ding, followed by a scream.

The rest of the people in the house followed my voice to our courtyard, and when they saw the figure in the tree, they all screamed in shock.

By the time the master arrived, the lady had been lowered from the branch and parked alone in the yard, covered with a white cloth.

Afterwards, the lady was hastily buried, and the housewife gave a gag order to everyone in the house, if anyone dared to disclose the matter, the family law dealt with it. ”

Hearing this, Meng Ran sighed slightly and said, "You old man is not a thing, and he is so unresponsible, it is really in vain to be a big husband." And your mistress, who is really narrow-minded and has no measure at all. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Ran suddenly remembered the old incident of his father Meng Hao, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved for the girl named Begonia, and admired the generosity of his mother, Mrs. Meng.

After a while, he whispered to the green screen, "Since you are a maid in that house, why did you come here?"

Green Screen's face suddenly turned white, and his voice suddenly asked, "Young Master, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

Meng Ran thought for a while and said uncertainly: "There shouldn't be." You've seen it?"

Green Screen's expression was a little weird, and he said slowly: "After Madame died, the entire mansion was peaceful and peaceful, and everyone thought that it would be okay in the past, but they never thought that many strange and strange things happened later." ”

"Strange things?" Meng Ran asked, "How strange is it?"

Green Ping swallowed his saliva and said with a frightened expression: "Soon after, Madame's ghost returned, and several people saw it, including the concubine of Master Xinna. ”

Meng Ran frowned slightly, and asked in a strange tone, "Then you have seen it too?"

"I didn't see the face, only a red back, the same dress that my wife wore when she committed suicide. ”

Even after many years, Green Screen still has a lot of indescribable fear and unspeakable guilt about that figure. Mrs. is not very old, she is very gentle and amiable on weekdays, although she is favored, she is not domineering, and she treats her subordinates very politely, and never overly harshly criticizes her attendants, so Luping has always thought of her good.

For his wife's suicide, Green Screen was distressed and regretful, but he couldn't give birth to thoughts such as avenging her, so he always had a sense of guilt hidden in his heart.

It wasn't until she saw that familiar back that the guilt and sympathy in her heart suddenly magnified, and she almost had a nightmare.

Meng Ran lowered his eyes slightly, and continued to ask, "What happened later?"

Green Screen sighed faintly, and said in an ethereal voice: "Later, the concubine and wife of Xinna died strangely and violently, and the people in the mansion were panicked. ”

Meng Ran glanced up at the maid beside him, and asked with some uncertainty, "Could it be that the mistress did the ghost?" In order to keep her position, she used the ghost to kill people. ”

Green Screen shook his head and said with certainty: "The young master has a mistake." After the concubine's wife died violently, the mistress was frightened by the lady's ghost and became delirious, and the whole person was confused, crying loudly day and night, and when she saw red, she screamed bitterly, and could not sleep at night, disturbing the whole family to be at peace.

Slowly, the old man also began to be afraid, and then began to pack up his belongings, sold the house cheaply and moved out of Jiaxing City, it is said that he returned to his hometown. ”

Meng Ran asked again: "Then why didn't you follow them?"

Lu Ping replied softly: "After they sold the house, they sold the extra servants and maids, and I continued to stay in Jiaxing." ”

Meng Ran sighed, "I see, I didn't expect you to have such an experience, no wonder you no longer want to be someone else's concubine." ”

The green screen smiled wryly and did not respond.

Meng Ran glanced at her, and said in a relaxed tone: "Then you can find a diligent and simple honest man, the silver you earn is enough to maintain a family, and a good life is not easy to catch." ”

Green Screen rolled his eyes, and said resentfully: "You were born to be a young master, how do you understand the difficulties of short firewood, rice, oil and salt in the family." ”

Meng Ran squeaked a few times, but finally didn't say anything. A young master who lives all day long in clothes, stretching out his hands for food, and opening his mouth, it seems that there is really no reason to talk about the miserable days of others who are unclear.

If it was in the past, Meng Ran would not have thought about these things that he didn't have, he would just point his fingers as a matter of course, preach with his own mood, and don't care about other people's feelings and opinions.

Now, although I have never traveled thousands of miles, I have traveled hundreds of miles, and I have also suffered some hardships, knowing the hardships of life, and having more thoughts and sympathy and understanding that are difficult to talk to, and I am no longer the stunned white.

The green screen, who hadn't heard movement for a long time, thought that his new master was angry, so he had to hold his breath in place and make an appearance of admitting his mistake and admitting punishment.

Meng Ran looked at the cautious maid on the side, laughed lightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not so cautious that I'm angry with you for a word." ”

Green Screen glanced at the master, and then laughed as well, "It's good that the young master isn't angry." ”

Meng Ran smiled again, "Don't worry, I'm very broad-minded." ”

The green screen looked at Meng Ran, who had the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, almost falling on that handsome cheek, and after she calmed down, she quickly lowered her head, but the red ears revealed her true thoughts.

Whose girl doesn't have a spring? Who doesn't covet a handsome face? What's more, it is Meng Ran, who has a gentle temperament and outstanding appearance, and comes from a scholarly family, and there are ripples in the bottom of the green screen, and there are a few more unknown thoughts.

At this time, Meng Ran's door was suddenly knocked a few times.

Meng Ran coughed lightly, "Come in." ”

The person who came pushed open the door, walked into the room gently, blessed Meng Ran, and said in a soft voice: "The concubine came to visit the son, I don't know how the son's body is?"

The person who came was Seinfeld, who lived in the front yard, and today she was wearing a light green dress, and her face was not powdered, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Meng Ran looked at the person who came, and replied casually, "Oh, it's Fei'er girl, I'm fine, thank you for your concern." ”

Seinfeld gave another salute and said, "This is the duty of a concubine, and I deserve the gratitude of my son." ”

Meng Ran was a little overwhelmed, looked at his maid as if asking for help, and motioned to Green Screen to find a way to relieve his embarrassment, but unfortunately he didn't get the response he wanted.

I saw the green screen salute Seinfeld and said softly, "I won't disturb Miss Song's conversation with Childe." ”

With that, Green Screen twisted out of Meng Ran's bedroom and gently closed the door.

Meng Ran was a little helpless, so he had to deal with Seinfeld alone, and asked softly, "Is there anything wrong with Miss Fei'er?"

Seinfeld replied in a low voice, "The concubine wants to go out of the house and buy something on the street." ”

Meng Ran sighed and said, "If you want to go, just go, let Chunhua follow you." ”

Seinfeld shook her head and said, "No need, there are so many things at home, let's let her help at home, I can do it alone." ”

Meng Ran no longer persuaded him, but just explained, "Okay, if you are short of silver, you can ask for it from the green screen, and be careful when you go to the street alone." ”

Seinfeld said yes softly, and went out with a blessing.
