Jiang Ciyu said coldly: "The master of the horse is too polite, and the second master is used to being reckless." It was he who was impulsive, and it was supposed that the princess should apologize to the princess. ”

Du Juan smiled and said: "Where do you dare to control the princess, princess, you see, these gifts are carefully selected by the concubine." ”

"When did the enemy become so careful?" Jiang Cijun suppressed a nameless anger and said lightly: "What did the master of the horse give, you said come and listen, and I will return the gift." ”

Du Juan smiled: "The two red lacquer boxes below are filled with some medicinal supplements, which were given by the master of the horse to the second master of Chai to nourish the bones of the body." And the brocade box on this is filled with Dai Zixuan's rouge gouache, the concubine saw the princess that day and was shocked, he knew that the princess did not need to use these vulgar things, these rouge gouache by the princess to the maid in the palace by the princess. Speaking of this, the cuckoo slipped out of a red brocade box more than half a foot high and a thick palm.

The cuckoo said: "Princess, this is a special gift from the master of the horse." ”

Jiang Ciyu was a little interested, and after a while, she said, "Take it for me to see." ”

The cuckoo Jiang brocade box was placed on the high table next to Jiang Cishu, and he immediately flipped through it with ten dexterous and white fingers, and took out a long and graceful glass bottle from the brocade box. I saw that there was still half a bottle of pale pink crystal water in the net bottle, and the cuckoo said: "This is Dai Zixuan's nourishing product, potpourri dew." This potpourri is made with 123 kinds of flowers, and it is accompanied by angelica, rehmannia rehmannia, ejiao, ganoderma lucidum, licorice, hawthorn and other medicinal herbs. If the princess drank it regularly, it would be of great benefit to her body. ”

Jiang Cijun smiled bitterly in his heart: "My spleen and stomach are cold, and I have never been able to eat rehmannia rehmannia, how can he not know." is a personal girl, and she has become his housekeeper. After a while, Jiang Cishu said lightly to the maid on the side: "Jiang Yuma's gifts have been received." ”

"Yes, Princess. ”

The cuckoo smiled and said, "If you know that the princess likes these gifts, the princess doesn't know how happy she is." ”

Jiang Ciyu smiled and said: "Thank you to the princess for this princess, your sister Juan is a busy person, I won't keep you today." ”

The cuckoo saluted and said, "The slave and maid will retire first." ”

After he left, Jiang Cishu showed sadness: "I'm worried about him, he has become a concubine." The horses of the Shuzhong Palace, which are more powerful than this empty shell of the Chai Wangye. Jiang Cishu was bitter in his heart at first, and then the bitterness turned into an angry raging flame and burned.

When Du Juan was about to leave the Zhou Palace, she suddenly came over and stopped her from eight ruthless-looking palaces.

The cuckoo was vigilant: "What are you doing!"

One said: "Sister Juan'er, you say that you are a shrewd person, but you don't even know when you offended the princess!"

The cuckoo frowned and said lightly: "I am respectful to the princess, when did I offend her?"

The man shook his head and said, "You gave the princess and the second master a basket full of medicinal herbs when you came, don't you treat the two of them as sick seedlings?

When Du Juan heard that she was aggrieved, she was puzzled: "Now in Lin'an, which official's family does not eat medicinal herbs and supplements as cooking, how can this be regarded as a curse for the princess? If the princess misunderstands, I will explain it to her." ”

The eight of them formed a wall, without the slightest intention of penetrating a gap for the cuckoo to get through. The cuckoo sneered: "What's the matter, you big men, still want to do something with a weak woman like me?"

One person said: "Offended Sister Juan'er, this is what the princess meant!"

With a stabbing sound, the eight of them pulled out a rattan pinned to their belts from their backs. The cuckoo was terrified, and she hurriedly huddled on the ground with her head in her hands. Immediately, the eight rattans were like a shower of rain and slammed down on the cuckoo's body. Where did the delicate figure of the cuckoo suffer such pain, and a rattan went down, almost taking half of her life. But the cuckoo gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, she said in her heart: "If you shout out today, you will be embarrassed by the horse master!"

Everyone smoked for a while, and when they saw that the cuckoo's back was scarred and the flesh was blurred, they stopped one after another. The cuckoo stood up tremblingly, only to see that her face was like gold paper, her breath was like a gossamer, and her two bloodless lips kept trembling. Suddenly, she made a thousand blessings, and said with a smile: "The return gift of the palace, the master of the horse has accepted it." With that, she turned and walked away. But she didn't take two steps before she fell headlong to the ground. Some porters who came with her hurried over and helped her up.

Watching the cuckoo and his party leave, the courtyards of the few executioners couldn't bear it. One shook his head and said, "The princess has always been kind-hearted, and she has never had a fight with us subordinates. Why do you have to get along with a woman this time?"

The older family courtyard sighed: "If you want to blame her, blame her for being the girl of the Qin Mansion, the ugliness of our palace and the Qin Mansion can't be solved!" A few slightly younger and incomprehensible courtyards surrounded the older courtyard, asking him to explain the grievances of the Chai and Qin families. But this courtyard was secretive and said: "You can't mention it, you can't mention it, you have to lose your head......" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and then dispersed in a hurry.

After the cuckoo was carried back to the Horse Mansion, he forced his spirit and instructed the people he saw: "Don't tell the Horse Master that I am back." And as soon as she returned to the room, she couldn't help the pain, lay on the bed and bit the pillow, and whimpered and cried. Bean-sized teardrops, in the blink of an eye, soaked the pillow to a soak. The two girls came over with the ointment, untied the cuckoo's clothes, and after applying the shocking scars on her back, they said, "Sister Juan'er, you are so resting, but don't move." When we saw the master of the horse, we told him, sister, you have suffered from the wind and cold, and we can't serve him for the past two days. Sister, you take care of your injuries first, and then talk about anything else. ”

"Don't!"

The cuckoo screamed, got out of bed, and stood on the ground. After pacing around the room a few times, she forced a smile on her face: "You see, I'm completely good." I didn't get a whip, and I didn't get a cold. You are not allowed to talk nonsense to the master of the horse. ”

The two girls glanced at each other, and their eyes were helpless and puzzled. said in unison: "Sister, why are you doing this?"

Du Juan glanced at them stubbornly, and said in his heart: "I'm sweet." ”

As soon as the night comes, the sky is full of stars.

The cuckoo changed into a new dress, wiped her blush and rouge, and pursed her lips to make herself look a little human. She fetched a basin of hot water, knocked on the door of Dong Ping's bedroom and said, "Master Ma, the slave has come to wash your feet." ”

Dong Ping said in the room: "Come in." ”

The cuckoo pushed the door into the house, and when he entered, he closed the door on one side. Dong Ping, dressed in white underwear, was sitting on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed. On the tip of his forehead and nose, there are fine beads of sweat oozing. The cuckoo didn't dare to disturb him, so he waited quietly with a basin of water.

After a while, Dong Ping opened his eyes and smiled, "Come here." ”

The cuckoo walked over with a smile, put the basin under the bed and said, "Master Horse, the first time I washed your feet, I don't know if you like hot or cold." The slave and maid took it upon themselves to make the water hot, and if you don't like it, then we will wait for the water to cool before washing. ”

Dong Ping had already pushed his trousers above his knees at this time, and he poked his feet into the basin and said, "Next time, burn it hotter." ”

"But ......," the cuckoo said in her heart, "this is already boiling water, and if you boil it hotter, won't it be boiled dry?" she smiled: "The slave will bring a basin of foot washing water that is hotter than this tomorrow night." ”

Dong Ping smiled and said: "With you doing things, I can rest assured." Did you go to King Zhou's Mansion today?"

The cuckoo smiled: "The slave and maid have gone, and they have brought many gifts. The princess was very happy and rewarded the slave with a treasure. ”

Dong Ping raised his eyebrows and said, "Baby, let me take a look." ”

Du Juan Jiao smiled and said: "The princess is specially rewarded to the slave maid, if the concubine sees it, then he should like it." Master Horse, you feel sorry for the slave and maid, and let the slave keep the treasure for herself. ”

Dong Ping laughed when he heard this, and he said secretly: "Sister Ci has always been kind-hearted, if she knew that it was a gift sent by me, maybe she would be happy for a while, and she would have rewarded something." He said: "Ha, I can't rob you, forget it, then Sister Juan will take care of it." ”

The cuckoo smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Dong Ping suddenly let out an extremely comfortable moan. He sighed lightly: "Sister Juan'er, I'm really jealous of Qin Xiang. Wash your feet like this, try it once, and you will be comfortable like a fairy. The blessings that Qin Xiang has cultivated for several generations can be enjoyed for so many years. ”

Du Juan smiled happily: "What is there to be jealous of, the first ten years were Qin Xiang's, and in the rest of his life, he will be the master of the horse." As long as the master does not dislike the slave and maid in the future, and is disgusted when he sees it, the slave and the maid will always wash the feet of the slave and the maid. ”

Dong Ping thought it was funny, and deliberately teased her: "Sister Juan'er, is Qin Xiang old and strong?"

Du Juan replied without thinking: "Qin Xiang's body is all ...... What about ......" Du Juan suddenly understood the joints between Dong Ping's words, she blushed, bowed her head and said nothing.

Dong Ping originally wanted to laugh and be amused. But seeing Du Juan's shy appearance, Dong Ping not only didn't get happy, but felt a little disgusted.

He said, "Why don't you go on?"

The cuckoo's voice was like a flying mosquito fluttering its wings, the little one was pitiful, and she said: "Master Ma misunderstood Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang is kind, and the slave treats him as if he is close to his elders...... Qin Xiang has never done that with the slave maid......"

Dong Ping smiled and said, "I don't believe it." ”

The cuckoo raised his head, his eyes were watery, his face was like a red top, and I saw pity: "Master Ma... Not really...... It's just that the Qin Mansion doesn't make a fire in winter, so Qin Xiang took off the slave maid into a white sheep and hugged it in the quilt to keep warm...... Besides... The slave maid and Qin Xiang have never crossed the thunder pool ......"

"Then why don't you go find an iron brush to rub your body clean!" Dong Ping didn't say this, he thought about it: "If you really rub your body with an iron brush, won't you rub this delicate skin and flesh?" Thinking of this, Dong Ping couldn't help but feel funny.

Seeing Dong Ping's expression alternating between joy and anger, Du Juan only felt cold on the soles of his feet. She thought sadly: "I thought that the horse master could be relied on, but how can a sloppy maid like me be worthy of relying on the horse master?"

Dong Ping said lightly: "You said that you are an aries, I don't believe it, let me take a look." ”

When the cuckoo heard this, it was like being struck by lightning, and his heart fell to the bottom.

"In the end, I'm just an object to be played with. ”

The cuckoo went to undress like a walking corpse, but for a moment, she was stunned. She said in her heart: "The injuries on the body can't be seen by the horse master." After thinking about it, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white onion and jade arms, and said with a smile: "Look, don't you have better skin than snow?"

Dong Ping glanced at it, and his upper body fell on the bed, his feet still in the basin. The cuckoo said, "Why didn't you look at it?"

Dong Ping smiled: "If you don't look at it, I'm afraid I'll like it if I look at it again." ”

The cuckoo said: "If the master can like the slave maid, then it is too late for the slave and maid to be happy." The cuckoo no longer smiled, but there was a smile in her tone.

"Sister Juan Er is so peugeot, who wouldn't like it? If you don't say one, it's only Qin Xiang. ”

The cuckoo's heart moved, and he didn't know why, so he said: "What did the master of the horse say, the slave and the maid look at Qin Xiangke and like the slave and the maid." His old man rubbed the slave's body inch by inch at night, but his love was tight. ”

"But is Sister Juan an an object? I like a bottle of jade, and I like to rub it inch by inch. Sister Juan'er's dexterity, sensibility and thoughtfulness is what makes people like it. ”

The cuckoo's heart was agitated when she heard this, her eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears overflowing.

"Don't praise the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid are about to fall in. The cuckoo took his hand out of the basin and said, "The water is cold." ”

Dong Ping raised his feet and put them on the edge of the basin, and the cuckoo wiped the water stains on his feet and stood up with the basin: "Later, the slave and maid will come again to bring supper to the concubine." ”

Dong Ping said: "No need, go back." Tomorrow, the sons and daughters of Zhang Wan's family set up a few tables of banquets and said that they would invite me to go. I've thought about it, this house is all given by someone, and I can't refute people's face. I plan to let Sister Juan'er compensate me to go with me, which can be regarded as supporting me for the scene. ”

The cuckoo frowned and said, "Slave and maid... I'm afraid I'll embarrass the horse......"

Dong Ping smiled and said: "I see, this is true, most of them will bring a maid to serve with them tomorrow, if Sister Juan Er is afraid that she can't compare to them, then stay in the mansion." ”

When the cuckoo heard this, she said in her heart: "Whoever of those women sees me, they must not call my sister, how can I be afraid of being compared to them." After thinking about it, she said: "Don't provoke the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will go to support this field for the concubine tomorrow!"

Dong Ping got up and clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Sister Juan Er goes back to rest, I won't call you, you are not allowed to get up." ”

"That slave is just lazy to sleep!" the cuckoo smiled, and came out.

As soon as the cuckoo left, an ethereal, Sanskrit-like voice, and a fairy-like man's voice rose in Dong Ping's ears: "The son is really good at playing tricks on this little girl." ”

Dong Ping was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly dodged out of the house, he volleyed into the air and flew to the roof, and when he flew off the wall and looked around, he didn't see any strangers appearing.

Suddenly, the voice sounded again: "Heh, Childe doesn't need to look for it again." I am the leader of the Secret Pestle Wheel Sect, and I am a saint of great joy. My religion teaches that men and women should be happy with each other, and they should be happy with each other, and they rely on words to deceive like a child, which is really damned!"

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Any cat or dog dares to call himself a saint, if you want to take my life, then just come and take it." ”

The man smiled and said, "This time the son is punished for a small punishment, and someone has already been punished for you." If the son still doesn't change it, then the saint will not be welcome!"

The voice drifted away and was never heard again.

After a while, I heard several terrible cries from the courtyard of the house. Dong Ping followed the sound and left, only to see that there were many people in a small courtyard. He drank through the crowd, and saw a man and a woman lying on the ground, covered in blood. Dong Ping recognized that these two people were the courtyard and the maid in the house. At this time, the cuckoo also stumbled over, and when she saw the two corpses, she first exclaimed in fear, and then lay on Dong Ping's shoulder and sobbed quietly.

Dong Ping patted the cuckoo's back and frowned. When he saw that everyone present was panicked, he said in a deep voice: "Go to Dali Temple and report to the official!"

In the lobby of the Horse Mansion, the lights were bright, but it was unusually cold. Dong Wenwen sat on the Taishi chair, two people sat on the left and right in front of him, one stared like a cow, and the middle-aged man with a meaty face was wearing a black hunting suit and a pair of iron rulers. This person is the head catcher of the Lin'an Mansion, Yang Jing. The other person is young and handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in white, with a long sword at his waist, this person is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Jiang Chuzhe.

Dong Ping said lightly: "The two families are really giving face, and even Shaoqing from Dali Temple has sent them." ”

Jiang Chuzhe smiled and said: "The status of the master of the horse is noble, this is a matter of course. In addition to finding out the facts of the case, I also came here to protect the safety of the horse master. ”

Yang Jing said in a deep voice: "Master Ma told me about the case. ”

This Yang Jing is resolute and straight to the point.

After Dong Ping told him the ins and outs, Jiang Chuzhe frowned and said, "I think that person used the kung fu of transmitting sound into the secret, but before he spoke, he was sure to peep near the bedroom of the master of the horse. And after the master went out, he escaped with extremely clever light body skills. ”

Yang Jing said lightly: "The Secret Pestle Wheel Sect, I have never heard this name in the black and white of the rivers and lakes before. ”

At this moment, an old man wrapped in an apron strode in.

Yang Jing saw humanity: "Sir, do you have a conclusion?"

The old man said lightly: "Although the two deceased were covered in blood, they did not have any wounds on their bodies. ”

Yang Jing asked, "Where did the blood come from?"

The old man said lightly: "Blood is poured on after the death of the deceased. Looking at the color of this blood, as well as the debris in the blood, it is preliminarily concluded that this blood is the woman's menstrual blood. ”

When several maids outside the hall heard this, they couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately blushed.

"As for the cause of death of these two people, it should be that they were shattered by external forces and died of internal injuries. ”

This old man is the work of the Lin'an Mansion, named Ge Wan, and he has a lot of qualifications. Yang Jing nodded and said, "Mr. Brother, have you ever heard of the Secret Pestle Wheel Sect?"

"The Secret Pestle Wheel Sect ......" Mr. Brother thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, but Yang Zhutou and Jiang Shaoqing know what the Secret Pestle Wheel means?"

When the two of them heard this, they both shook their heads.
