V3.Chapter 42

Zhu Yi stood at the threshold, saw Wei Changying and duanmuxinmiao turn out of the screen together, sit down in the hall, and slightly nod their heads. Then he said to the outside: "young lady and eight young lady have arrived, let's go in!"

A moment later, Zhu Xian led the three men carefully across the threshold and entered.

Looking at Wei Changying and duanmuxinmiao at the top, they were all surprised. Duanmuxinmiao was worried about her master and had already called out, "how can I bring a child?"

The two of them lived on top of each other and looked down very clearly: Although the man who followed Zhu Xian made every effort to be respectful, it was obviously the first time to step into such a place as mingpeitang, and could not help but look around secretly with curiosity - this was a woman in her twenties.

Cao family castle with 3000 people, but it's not enough to get a woman's family to talk back. The key is that the woman is also surrounded by a little girl who looks like four or five years old This Do you have the appearance of coming to explain your reply seriously!

Although Wei Changying didn't ask questions, his face didn't look good either

Fortunately, he also came in with Zhu Xian and helped Wei Changying identify Bo Shenlun, the true and false leader of Xiliang, who was said by Cao family castle people in time to explain: "young lady, eight young lady, this wooden lady is the current leader of Cao family castle. This little girl is her only flesh and bone Cao ya. In order to show sincerity, Cao's Castle leader and Shao's leader came to talk back! "

"Castle master of caojiapu?!" Wei Changying and duanmusinmiao exclaimed in unison, and their suspicious eyes fell on the woman in an instant -

How do you think, the woman is only in her twenties, and the outline is pretty and pretty. However, a closer look shows that her skin is rough and her eyes are slightly wrinkled. Although it is said that Xiliang is bitter and cold, the women here, even if they are as well maintained as Mrs. Huo, are not as good as the ladies in the imperial capital because of the soil and water. But this woman is too old. In addition, Cao family castle is the origin of the construction of the refugees. No one can doubt that she is so old because of overwork.

The face is old and the dress is simple and tight. The woman was dressed in a thick indigo cloth dress, with a neat bun on her head, and two silver hairpins of dim color were inserted obliquely. Behind the ears, there are a pair of jade beads and pendants. The jade color is very turbid. It can be seen roughly as a stone Even the rough servant girl who served in the yard of Wei Changying may not be able to see it.

Look at the little girl who is following her. She is almost in a light blue dress. She has a red gold wreath on her chest. The workmanship looks good. This one alone is worth more than her mother's whole body hairpin. I think it's because of being spoiled. The woman in blue would rather wear something worse than hurt her daughter.

However, this wreath looks extraordinary. It's not like ordinary rich people can get it Can't Cao family castle avoid the Shen family's eyes in private and do nothing for the sake of his own children?

Wei Changying looks at the little girl. Her eyebrows are very similar to her mother's. because she is young and has not been attacked by the wind and soil, her face is still white and lovely. Although her mother could not restrain her mind attracted by all kinds of curios and ornaments around her, she still knew that she should be respectful. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look around. This little girl didn't have many scruples.

She opened a pair of big black and white eyes, bit a finger of her own, and looked up curiously at a strand of coral beads beside Wei Changying's sideburns. As Wei Changying, she didn't need to pay much attention to Cao family castle, so she didn't dress up specially. But no more special dress, ladies, hairpin ring at least a few.

This Luan bird holds beads and shakes them. Its shape is made of red gold wire. It has Obsidian as its eye and emerald feather as its feather. What it holds is a string of bright coral beads. It's not surprising that Cuiyu and red coral are so eye-catching that they attract children's attention.

But

With the gap between Cao family castle and Wei Changying, even if you must bring a child to the hall, you should always tell me some rules, right?

Wei Changying's mind turned, and he did not make a sound after exclamation.

But the woman in blue, who was very respectful, made another salute and introduced herself: "the little woman, Mu Chunmian, is the castle master of caojia castle. I heard that the little lady and miss duanmuba had something to ask about our castle. She had come before."

Her manner was respectful rather than flattering, but she meant to be neither humble nor overbearing.

Duanmuxinmiao is anxious to open his mouth, but Wei Changying secretly steps on the skirt - Wei Changying lightly says: "the castle leader of Cao family castle, what's his surname? Or a woman? The next Castle leader is also a woman. Is your castle in the charge of a woman? It's strange. I haven't heard of it. "

Shen Lun was about to answer, but mu Chunmian took a look and immediately took up the tea bowl. This makes Wei Changying frown slightly and doubt Shen Lun.

"Back to the young lady." Although no one introduced their identities to Mu Chunmian, Wei Changying was dressed as a woman, duanmuxinmiao was not married, but it was not hard to tell. Mu Chunmian could not admit her mistake. After stopping Shen Lun, she smiled and said, "the husband's family of the little woman is Cao. Because of the early death of her husband, the little woman had to come out and support her family. "Wei Changying can't believe this. It's common for widows to be forced to support their families independently, but it depends on their family business. Cao family castle is in the eyes of Shen family. It's not worth mentioning after holding its key. But it's also a castle of three thousand people! Even if most of them are women and children, there will always be nearly a thousand men. How could a woman be the Lord of the castle?

Wei Changying won't ignore what Shen Lun said just now, "this little girl is Cao ya, the only one of her own flesh and blood". So it's not likely that Mu Chunmian will control Cao family castle with her young son. Wei Changying's heart turns and suddenly thinks of the meaning of this sentence: Mu Chunmian only has Cao ya, but does her husband only have Cao ya?

Is it because the castle of Cao's family also fights inside, and Mu Chunmian fails in the fight. He is disguised as a castle master and sent to make perfunctory use of himself with his daughter Cao ya? Or is it that Mu Chunmian's skill is extraordinary. As a girl, after her husband's death and as Cao's daughter-in-law, she firmly controls Cao's castle and lets her young daughter become the leader of the castle?

She pondered, but duanmuxinmiao couldn't help it. She raised her voice and asked, "no matter who you are, tell me clearly about my uncle's life and death!"

Seeing that duanmuxinmiao has come to the point, Wei Changying doesn't pursue Mu Chunmian's position in caojiapu any more. He said lightly: "yes, who is the leader of your caojiapu? We don't care about it very much. Now you are here to fix things for this season. Tell me the truth! "

Mu Chunmian said happily: "the people who went to caojiapu in your family have said this before. Although the little woman was young, when the two people mentioned entered caojiapu, the little woman was not born yet. However, in order to reply, she also asked the old people in the castle in detail before coming."

She said that Wei Changying and duanmuxinmiao frowned at the same time: if Jigu is still alive, or if muchunmian will admit that Jigu is still alive, why don't you ask the old man, just say it directly. She now mentions the old man. It is obvious that either Ji Gu is dead, or she will continue to insist that Ji Gu is dead.

As expected, Mu Chunmian said: "Cao family castle takes in two people, and the light is not very long. So I don't know that senior very well. At the beginning, your family sent people to caojiapu to confirm their life and death, and also gathered all the people of caojiapu to confirm the portrait. Later, I went to open the coffin and took someone who knew the elder very well to see it, which confirmed that it was the elder. The little woman did not understand why she wanted to explain to our castle now. "

"It's said that Cao's castle is a very rare place where all the people can't leave when they are at the gate," said Wei Changying. Even if Jigu can't be hidden in the castle, isn't it still outside the castle? What's the difficulty of hiding a man in the wilderness? After all, it's impossible for those who were looking for them to live in Cao's Castle all the time, right? As for the opening of the coffin, if there is no evidence, will you be called? Why do you think we are free? " Although she has no evidence, now that she is questioning Mu Chunmian, she can't fall into her own momentum -- in her capacity, she says that there is, and there is no need to show it to Mu Chunmian.

Sure enough, Mu Chunmian said: "little woman dare not."

"I don't dare to tell you the truth." Wei Changying said coldly.

Mu Chunmian narrowed her eyes and said, "the little lady has only seen the tombs of two people, and now there is no Ji Gu in the castle!"

Wei Changying glanced at her lightly and said, "you want me to come here with sister Xinmiao just to listen to such nonsense?" These days, she has controlled mingpeitang with both hardware and software. Her bearing is very different from that of the past. At the moment, her face is a little heavy. She has a kind of awe and awe. Mu Chunmian is stunned and says: "although there is no Jigu, but The little woman heard from the old man that he had left something, which had been handed over to his nephew in the capital. I heard that It's like Ji Qubing? "

"Ah, it's for my mentor!" "What is it?" said Duan Muxin Miao

"Although the little woman is in a remote place, she has heard about the name of the first famous doctor in the sea. Since leaving the fort this time, I've heard that Miss Duanmu, a little high-foot doctor, is in the Western cool free clinic. " Mu Chunmian looked at her, smiled and said, "it's said that Miss Duanmu is a disciple of Ji Shenyi. It's OK to give these things to miss Duanmu. It's just... "

"What?" said Duan Muxin

"Only two of them had words left." Mu Chunmian was obviously struggling to say this. He hesitated for a long time and then made up his mind. He looked up and said, "that man said that it's better to give those things to Ji Shenyi, other Ji family members, or Ji family heirs like Miss Duanmu But whoever comes to get it must pay A little price! "

You want money?

Wei Changying and duanmuxinmiao are a little surprised. Wei Changying asks, "how much is it?" She thought that since Mu Chunmian said it was a little cost, she thought it was not a lot. She simply wanted to be a good person. She asked about the amount of duanmuzinmiao. She thanked her for trekking to Xiliang to treat Shen zangfeng.

Muchunmian is also very refreshing: "three thousand liang of gold, a lot of articles!"

"What?!" Not only Wei Changying and duanmuxinmiao are stunned by the lion's big opening, but Shen Lun, who is sitting with him next time, almost turns over his tea - three thousand liang of gold! This is the gold as sand!Ji Gu was a fugitive when he escaped. Even if he hid some good things in private, it was very limited. What can he leave worth three thousand liang of gold? If he really had something of such value, he would have been able to let the whole family slip away and go to the next place to have fun if he bribed the messengers indefinitely!

…… Well, of course, it's also possible that Lu Fu was murdered for this.

Wei Changying has come to the mouth of "sister Xinmiao, this is the idea of money, sister-in-law for you out" immediately stuck Even the Duanmu core Miao, who used to treat the best jadeite as a weed in order to make medicine jewelry, thought that the price of 3000 liang of gold was a bit outrageous - even if we want to repay Cao Jiabao's help, it's very kind to repay thousands of liang of silver according to the current market!

Especially the meaning of Mu Chunmian Jigu is dead! If Ji Gu is alive, ask duanmuxinmiao to give three thousand Liang gold reward to Cao family castle. Duanmuxinmiao must have no words! She doesn't have enough money, and Wei Changying won't sit back. The problem is that if Ji Gu is no longer alive, he will ask for three thousand liang of gold for the last time he failed to save his life, plus the human feelings of preserving his relics over the years. It's a little bit sinister!

Because the Cao family castle, which no longer accepts outsiders, will accept Ji Gu as an exception. In the end, it is his first-hand medical skill, not just to save people's lives. Even according to caojiabao, Ji Gu died soon after he was in caojiabao. Ji Gu can't rest in the middle. He must also be a doctor for the people in the castle. He has paid more or less for this help.

In this case, what do you think, Mu Chunmian seems to be telling a joke.

However, duanmusinmiao is Ji Qubing's disciple. She has some knowledge of her school. After she was surprised, she didn't immediately speak out against Mu Chunmian's delusion and pondered for a moment, but asked, "do you know what my uncle left behind?"

Mu Chunmian said: "it's said that Miss Duanmu is an apprentice of Ji Shenyi. The little lady asked the old man for some things and brought them. So I can show Miss Duanmu Of course, it's just a part of what the little woman brought. "

Now even Wei Changying is also interested in it. Before Ji Ying was questioned, did the Ji family really have 3000 liang of gold and some treasures that are light and easy to collect, which were collected by Ji Gu all the time and left to Cao family castle?

All the people in the back hall were attracted to Mu Chunmian. However, Mu Chunmian said to Cao ya, "girl, take out the things and show them to you!"

The eyes have been staring at Wei Changying's Cao Ya who is rolling and biting her fingers. She put her fingers down and groped in her arms. The girl looks like she's only four or five years old. She's still thin. The things that can be hidden in her arms are obviously not too big.

People are more curious.

…… It seemed to be smaller than people thought. Cao Ya felt it for a long time, and finally pulled out a small oilpaper bag that was not much bigger than her palm. From the oil paper, it's obvious that there are some

What will be in it?
