Taohua county.
Mengshan town is a small mountain town at the foot of Mengshan mountain. The town got its name from the mountain. I don't know how many towns along the mountain are called this name.
A big house outside the town was bought by a rich man more than ten years ago, but the rich man doesn't live here. It looks like a separate house. There are only a few servants to guard the house. Occasionally, people come to live, but most of them come while it's dark. The local people in the town are not sure what the way this family comes from. They wonder if they are serious people who think it's so mysterious.
This year's taxes are heavy. Even if there are more fields, it's hard for every family to have a full meal without waiting early and greedy. They can't take care of their own stomachs and have no time to manage other people's affairs. Even if there are some landless, unproductive and idle people, there are groups of vicious dog guards in and out of the house. A few years ago, they killed the scoundrels who wanted to set a fat wolfhound in the pot. They also tied the scoundrels' families who came to the door for theory into the Yamen
After that, the town also knew that this family had quite a background, and the means were ruthless. They all walked around wisely. In this way, it's safe and sound for years to come.
At dusk, the western sky is full of clouds.
The back garden of this mansion is illuminated by the reflected sunlight. The flowers are blooming like brocade. The girls who depend on the bars to support themselves in the flowers are more beautiful than the flowers.
On the pink face of peach blossom in Yixi and Yichen, the eyebrows grow into the temples, the eyes are like water apricots, the nose and lips are beautiful, and the color flows between the eyes and the eyes, and the demeanor grows on its own.
Her dress is also bright and tight. She is wearing a new light green ground Zhuo with a pattern of qiluo narrow sleeves and a collar. The colorful silk tapestry draws a graceful and exquisite waist. A pair of concentric knot palace tapestry is tied on it. The long palace tapestry spike is hanging beside the Yellow fairy skirt and flutters with the evening wind. The long hair is as black as lacquer, and the loose thread is a flying bun. The jade hairpin is inserted obliquely, the step is shaken, and the Pearl Flower and the green curl are separated.
A pair of East pearl pendants on the ear side, with red gold base supporting the shape of vines. Gold and Pearl complement each other, but they also set off the slender teeth and neck. She has a wreath on her chest and a jade ring on her arm. She is fully dressed as a wealthy woman. But between the eyebrows, there is the vigor and heroism that the ordinary rich and noble women have not decided to have. I hope there is a kind of beauty that combines hardness and softness.
The servant who led the unexpected visitor into the garden saw him from afar, but he lost his spirit. After a moment's delay, he recovered as usual. Fortunately, the guest behind him seemed to have a good disposition, and no wonder. After returning to God, I called for luck: "this girl is so beautiful. She looks like a fairy. I just don't know the relationship between her and my master. I came to live with the master's Keepsake a few days ago, and I said it was the master's friendship. I didn't expect that the guest also came to see her with the host's Keepsake today Is it not that she has nothing to do with her master, but that she borrows the master's place to meet her lover? "
The corner of the eye glanced behind him, wondering what kind of man Lai qinniang, a beauty like herself, would like to meet in private.
It's a pity that the bamboo hat on the master's head was pressed all the way to the chin, and he was covered with a black cloak. The servant could not see the real face, so he had to stop outside the fence and quit the garden at the order of Lai qinniang.
After the servant left the garden, Lai qinniang picked a rose flower and threw it into the flowers. She clapped her hands and said to the man who was obviously hiding: "Chang Zhi, you are here."
"Something happened to your brother." A low and indifferent voice came from Douli. It was not because of Lai qinniang's beauty and active greeting that he felt relieved. "Xiliang sent a letter to the Mengshan Gang, saying that he disrespected the Shen family in the mingpeitang, so that he would be detained and explained by the Mengshan gang. Now the people of Mengshan gang are in a mess and their hearts are floating, and they have started to flee. "
"Running around? Oh, don't worry too much. " Lai qinniang said as if nothing had happened, "I don't know the means of my adoptive father? Without his permission, the people of Mengshan gang and caojiabao are running away from each other. They are running away from each other! Those people don't know our major events at all. Even if they do, most of them won't live to say it. "
"You too?"
Lai qinniang nodded and said: "but I asked sister Yi for a lot of easy to store snacks in advance. I think I can last some days In Mengshan sect, who doesn't have to eat something from Cao's Castle regularly? My adoptive father is ruthless and suspicious. He doesn't hold our life in his hand. He himself is far away in caojiapu and stares at his daughter and granddaughter. How can he rest assured of the Mengshan Gang? "
The man was not interested in the action that her adoptive father controlled the Mengshan gang. Instead of following the topic, he said: "Shen Zanfeng's intention is not your brother, but brother Wei. Maybe he has speculated about our purpose... "
"It's impossible." Lai qinniang frowned and interrupted, "you are the only one who knows what you are here for. Even the people you brought from fengqishan are not very clear! How does Shen know? "
The man said lightly: "how do I know? I just sent the pigeon to brother Wei. Later, he replied that Shen Cangfeng had seen the clue. Let me accompany you to Xiliang city! "
Lai qinniang was shocked and said: "do you want to share Shen Zanfeng with me? How can it be? "
"Brother Wei intended to hide Shen zangfeng, but who told your brother to run so fast?" The man said calmly, "brother Wei said, since you can't hide it, you and I might as well go to discuss it. Fortunately, Shen Zanfeng's wife is also the daughter of Wei family, and she is very kind to Shen Zanfeng. Using this, maybe things are much better than I expected. "Lai qinniang frowned and said: "it's not his own idea for my brother to go to Xiliang for a long time. There are eight out of ten. Nine out of ten, the nails left by our adoptive father in the Mengshan Gang encouraged him to go. Otherwise, if I didn't return to the gang, he would never leave me behind. "
The man said unhurriedly: "I've said you shouldn't be absent and not go back. You can stop the guild members from passing the news that I swept the mountain to Ji Gu and others when you are in the Mengshan gang. But you just don't listen to me. Your brother loves you very much. If you fall into my army and don't know where you are, he will be stuck and can be delayed for enough time. But now it's self defeating... " Listen to this tone, this person is mo binwei.
"You look down on our adoptive father too!" Lai qinniang shook her head and said, "there are thousands of people in the Mengshan sect. I don't know how many eyes he has planted in it. Even if my brother doesn't run to Xiliang himself, the news won't be concealed for long. Originally, I wanted to delay for several days, but I was unlucky and couldn't find a place. Otherwise, the delay of these days would be almost the same. "
Mo binwei said to himself, "although brother Wei said that he can choose to ally with Shen Cangfeng when he is in the last resort, I think Shen is deeply rooted in Xiliang, which is beyond our comparison. If they think of taking it alone, we have nothing to do. Even if we make a big fuss at that time, we will not be able to support Ruiyu hall
"What's your opinion on Chang Zhi?" said Lai qinniang
"The truth can't tell them. We must make up another credible and reasonable reason." Mo binwei said, "it's just that I'm not very good at dealing with people like Shen zangfeng, and you have to do it."
Lai qinniang said: "I The only child I have ever seen is the childe! "
"Not to tell Shen zangfeng, but his wife, Mrs. Wei." Mo binwei said, "Mrs. Wei is also the daughter of the Wei family. Eight out of ten in Ruiyu hall are her father and younger brother. She was loved by her family when she was at her mother's house, and it was impossible to see her husband's family swallow all the benefits of her mother's family. You first perfunctory her, if perfunctory cannot go on, must tell the truth, simply tell the truth, let her choose between her mother's home and her husband's home. I think she will help you hide. If she helps you hide, it will be much easier. "
"Mrs. Wei..." "Lady Lai said to herself," ladies and gentlemen, I heard that my adoptive father accidentally mentioned that such kind of people are difficult to serve. A person who doesn't pay attention offends them, and he who comes from a noble family is afraid that he can't see me like this, and he doesn't know if I can see her? "
"Rest assured." Mo binwei said lightly, "brother Wei has said in the letter that this lady Wei is envious. With your beauty, she is also an unmarried daughter. She will not rest assured that you will see Shen zangfeng all the time, and will certainly see you personally or send her confidant. It's just that brother Wei also said that this lady Wei was loved by her elders since she was a child. As you think, she is a little bit self-confident about her birth. Slow to say that you are born in a reckless family. Even if she is a big girl like her, she can't be regarded by anyone. You have to be ready to try to make a special impression on her, otherwise I'm afraid she won't give you a chance to talk at all, only let you answer what she asked you. When you have finished answering, you should leave. "
Lai qinniang chuckled and said, "I'm so domineering! Are all the daughters of SuYue so arrogant and domineering
"How do I know?" Mo binwei said quietly, "I haven't even met the daughter of the aristocratic family. In short, I have brought brother Wei's words. You can do it yourself. Don't put it off. We'll start tomorrow morning! "
At about the same time, the imperial capital, the remote teahouse.
Duanmuxinmiao stepped into the elegant room upstairs and saw the woman sitting at the head in the middle of the room. He was surprised: "it's you?"
"Duanmu sister, I haven't seen her for many days." Liu Ruoyu, the former crown princess and today's Queen of balance, has not changed much compared with what he saw several times at the banquet before leaving the pavilion. I don't know if I have seen Zhang Shaoguang's mother and daughter's future is bleak. Even if the future queen becomes the present Queen, Liu Ruoyu's spirit seems very good.
She smiled and asked duanmuxinmiao to sit down. "I'm afraid you won't come. I'm so grateful to see you."
"Too Don't be grateful, Queen. " Duanmuxinmiao looked at her warily and refused to sit down. He said, "I was invited by the elder sister of the Song family. I said this is Miss Song! What do you want me to do? First of all, now my stepmother and elder sister have urged my Delong industrial and commercial bank, but they don't have much time to see people. I'm not in the mood to meddle in any business now. "
"Sister, don't blame Miss Song for not coming. I'm the only one here. In fact, she was going to come, but last night her second sister-in-law was unwell. She asked the doctor to have a look and said she was pregnant. " Liu Ruoyu and he Qiqi said, "sister Duanmu, you know that Jiangnan Hall's two generations have few heirs. It's a big thing that Mrs. min is pregnant. Their parents' daughter-in-law, Mrs. Huo, is weak and has just caught up with them for two days. It's impossible for Miss Song to stay at home and look after her sister-in-law She entrusted me to make amends to you. "
"I also know that my sister is busy now. If she can't do what she wants, she won't bother. It's just that it's hard for me, but it's easy for my sister... "
