Bai Qingqing has been locked in the woodshed for several days.
Apart from Cui Lu marrying Chen Mianmian, no other news from the outside world is known.
"Please, I want to see the young master. I'll give this to you." Bai Qingqing took off a gold and jade ring on her finger. When the boy guarding the door saw this, he took it away without hesitation: "I'll give it to you." You can tell me, but whether the young master comes or not is none of my business."
"As long as you bring your message to the young master, he will definitely come." Bai Qingqing said confidently.
Cui Qingping did get the news, but now he is having fun and forgets about his childhood.
"I'll go there later."
The boy who delivered the letter arrived and completed his task. I watched a few more people throwing dice, and I was itching to put down a few coins. If I won, I would play again. If I lost, I would play again. At the end, Every gold and jade ring was exported.
I could only go back to guarding the door in despair.
Bai Qingqing was so excited to wait.
"Where is the young master? Why didn't he come?"
The boy rolled his eyes at her: "How do I know? I've already brought the message. Can I escort the young master to you?" When he looked up, he looked at the jewelry on Bai Qingqing's head, his eyes full of greed.
Bai Qingqing: "..."
Waiting until dawn the next day, Cui Qingping still didn't come.
Children are forgetful, so they may have forgotten what she said.
no way.
Bai Qingqing took off the earrings from her ears again and handed them to the young man: "Go and tell the young master for me."
The boy took the things and ran away without looking back.
When we came back, it was already noon.
Cui Qingping still didn't come.
The boy also had an excuse: "Young master, he said he would come later."
Bai Qingqing: "..."
The child said it would take a while, but how long it took, from day to night.
Bai Qingqing was desperate, "Go and tell me again. As long as the young master comes, I will give you whatever you want. In addition to these, I have many good things. As long as you bring him to see me."
The boy hummed and went back into Qingfengyuan carrying his things.
It was already dinner, and it was supposed to be time to take a shower and rest, but the lights were still bright inside, and shouts could be heard from time to time.
The boy rushed inside with his things in his arms excitedly, naturally not paying attention to the people coming towards him.
"You're blind, are you waiting to be reincarnated?" Qingxingyan stood in front of Xu Wanning quickly and scolded him with his hands on his hips.
The boy glanced at him and knelt down with a plop: "You deserve to die, young lady, please spare your life."
"You're leaving in such a hurry, what are you doing?" Xu Wanning's voice was clear and clear, much more pleasant to the ear than Qing Xing's fiery voice.
Of course, the boy didn't dare to say that he was going to get some money.
"Bai Qingqing asked the servant to bring a message to the young master, saying that she wanted to meet the young master."
A smile appeared on Xu Wanning's lips.
She was still thinking about Cui Qingping.
It's a pity that Cui Qingping, I wonder if he still remembers his mother while having fun!
Qingxing asked suspiciously, "She's just a maid. What does she want from the young master? She expects the young master to rescue her?"
"She didn't say anything, and the servant didn't ask."
"You're brave enough to do what's right, aren't you helping her pass the message for free?" Qingxing mocked.
The boy took out a gold hairpin in aggrieved manner, "This is the hard-earned money she gave me."
That’s quite generous!
Xu Wanning chuckled: "The young master is the eldest grandson of the Hou family. What is her status that makes the young master worthy of letting the young master go to see her? You just accept the benefits. What should you do? You don't need me to teach you, do you?"
"I know." The boy touched the ground and heard the footsteps walking away. Then he raised his head, looked at the heat inside, and went in with the gold hairpin in his hand.
I won’t take it with me today.
I won’t take it with me anymore.
As for the benefits she promised?
Let's wait until one day the young master remembers her and comes to see her.
Anyway, the young lady can't blame him. The young master thought of it himself, not what he said.
Bai Qingqing waited another night in vain.
And she no longer had any leverage to bribe the servant.
After Xu Wanning heard about it, she replaced the younger boy. This time, the gatekeeper was a groom in his forties who had not yet married a wife. The man who groomed horses in the stable was tall and powerful.
Everything in the Hou Mansion is the same as usual.
Just like a pool of calm water, you can't see it on the surface, but in fact, there are already undercurrents at the bottom of the lake.
Just a pebble can turn this apparent calm upside down.
And that stone was Pei Heng who Xu Wanning invited to the house.
Pei Heng was very sensible and knew that he could not reveal his identity at present, so he simply became a follower and followed Wang Xingmin.
Cui Lu was stunned for a moment when he saw Pei Heng following Wang Xingmin.
"You are a friend of King Yan."
Wang Xingmin called him dear.
Lord Marquis, this is the Commander-in-Chief of Jin Linwei. The famous man in front of the Emperor is more than a star and a half higher than you, Lord Marquis, who has completed his term after his death!
No wonder the Marquis didn't recognize Pei Heng.
Cui Lu seldom walked around Kyoto, and Wang Xingmin was even less qualified. If Pei Heng hadn't revealed his identity, Wang Xingmin would have made things difficult for him.
"The King of Yan didn't have time to accompany him, so he asked the official to take him around Yancheng." Wang Xingmin said with a smile.
It seems that he is a not very good friend.
Cui Lu smiled and brought the two of them into the house.
"It's summer now, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. This pond is great. You can enjoy the wind and go fishing. Lord Marquis, when the lotus flowers bloom in summer, please invite me to come and enjoy the lotus flowers." ." The speaker was Wang Xingmin, and he was very flattering.
When Cui Lu was praised, he stroked his beard and said, "When the time comes, I'll ask Mr. Wang for your favor."
Although Wang Xingmin is a junior official, he cannot be offended.
The case in the Hou Mansion has not been settled yet.
Du Shi also came to accompany her. She was still thinking about her own people.
"When will the case in the Hou Mansion be concluded? And when will the servants who were taken away come back?"
Aunt Xia, who was following Du Shi, said: "..." Sure enough, she still couldn't forget Achun. She would go and throw away a few things tomorrow.
Mad.
"It would be great if we could find the maid who made the complaint." Wang Xingmin laughed, "I can't find him!"
He was talking about the maid named Ji Xiang.
Cui Lu also sent people to look for him, but couldn't find him.
"Isn't he dead? If he was dead, would the case just be dead here?" Du asked again.
Wang Xingmin glanced at Pei Heng who was looking at the fish, and then said, "Can't? I haven't heard of anyone finding a body in Yancheng recently."
Damn it, you can’t find it alive or dead.
Hidden deep enough!
"Then what if the person who killed her hid the body so that no one would find it?" Du said, "Is this case going to be dragged on like this? Didn't Mr. Wang think of a solution?"
Wang Xingmin was sweating: "I've been thinking of a way, but I can't see people alive or dead..."
"This bamboo forest is so beautiful." Pei Heng, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
The group of people had already reached the bamboo forest outside Yannian Courtyard.
When Mrs. Du saw him praising her bamboo forest, she proudly said, "This is the Yannian Courtyard."
"Yannianyuan, prolongs life and longevity, a good name." Wang Xingmin followed suit.
Pei Heng sniffed: "It seems to have a sandalwood scent."
"Yeah, I smell it too, like the incense burned in the temple." Wang Xingmin echoed.
Du explained, "There is a small Buddhist hall in this bamboo forest, which is where I worship Buddha."
"No wonder."
Wang Xingmin: "My wife devotes herself to worshiping the Buddha. The Buddha will definitely bless her to live a long life."
Du Shi smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing."
The summer wind blows on his face, blowing away some of the heat. Pei Heng stood under the bamboo forest without moving, looking up at the green bamboo sticking out of the wall. The gentle breeze blew the corners of his clothes, and he didn't want to leave at all. the meaning of.
Wang Xingmin didn't leave when he saw him, and he didn't leave either.
Standing under the bamboo forest, they chatted with Cui Lu and his wife.
"ah……"
In the small Buddhist hall just a short distance away, a roar that cut through the sky suddenly came, almost tearing people's eardrums.
The listeners were shocked and frightened.
Pei Heng opened his eyes suddenly, with strong joy flashing in his eyes.
The show is about to begin.
Which song was the woman singing today?
