One of Liang Zhu's trees is white jade

Lanling Xiao Mansion

In the three-bedroom courtyard, the third master and his wife had another quarrel today.

The third master is ignorant, and the third wife is strong. This quarrel has not seen such a big movement in a long time. It is said that the third master left in the end, and no matter how the third wife reacted in the house, she never looked back.

When the old lady of the Xiao Mansion found out about this, she happened to be drinking Ningshen Soup. She already had profuse hair, and in recent years it has been well maintained. The room of her youngest son has never been quiet. At the door of the mansion, she was so angry that she threw the Ningshentang on the ground, and pretended to go to the third room to find the third wife, Mrs. Wang, to give a good lecture.In the end, it was the old nanny beside the old lady who stopped her anyway.

"Old madam, Mrs. Wang is always perverted. Why are you so angry with her? Why are you angry with yourself for nothing? Why don't we wait for Miss Seventeen to come back in a few days before we deal with it?" The old lady has been with the old lady for decades , I know the old lady's temperament very well, and while she is giving her comfort, she is persuading her with good words.

This person, how can there be no preference for children, he indulged the third master too much on weekdays, and now he made the house a mess.But she can't say these words, both of them are at this age, so what is there to argue about?

Knowing that the old lady doesn't really like the third master's maid, and she is not a son, when the old lady knew about it, she just planned to deal with it casually and arrange a marriage. The young lady from Shisheng came to Xiao's residence, and the old madam treated the seventeenth young lady well because she could be a good friend to Wang's family.

As for the Wang family, she has been married to Xiao's mansion for so many years, and she is the mother of several children. They are all grandmothers here, and they don't stop.In the early years, the old lady could not get used to her behavior, so she deliberately took her daughter away to keep her by her side, but Mrs. Wang is also cruel, and she doesn't care about her child when she is not around, so she hasn't seen her take the initiative to ask one or two questions for so many years. Qiniang is gone, but the one in Hangzhou is her own grandson, if the old lady is not still thinking about it, I am afraid that her life will be miserable.

Besides, Miss Seventeen, whose mother is the daughter of a petty official, came from a bad background, and somehow she hooked up with the third master, so that the third master was raised outside and gave birth to a daughter.The third master himself may not be very caring, but the bad thing is that the outer room passed away three years ago. At that time, Miss Seventeen was already fourteen, which was the age to discuss marriage. After thinking about it, the third master finally found out that it was his daughter , although she is not a prostitute, but this daughter is also grown up by him, and she is not inferior to the other houses in this mansion, so she wants to let her mother arrange a marriage for her.

He doesn't believe Wang's side, and it's best not to let her know about it, so as not to make trouble again.Originally all this was going well, but for some reason, Mrs. Wang suddenly heard the wind from somewhere else, and even ran to the main house to make a fuss, and the old lady almost fainted that time.It was only after that time that the old lady brought Miss Seventeen into the mansion.

Miss Seventeen is indeed smart, and she looks good, looks good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but that's nothing, she's not raised by a young woman, and the old lady values ​​orthodoxy very much in her heart, if it wasn't for the sake of ignoring the king Shi, she may not be able to enjoy the treatment given by Miss Xiaofu.

Fast forward three years now, and after three years, the old lady patronizes to make friends with the Wang family, but she has left Miss Seventeen's marriage behind.A while ago, I didn't know what the old lady was thinking, but she suddenly wanted to marry her to Seventh Young Master as a sequel.

The old mama thought about it, and the marriage seemed good. The Seventeenth Miss was originally a concubine, and she was able to marry a fourth-rank eunuch, and she was also a regular wife.This old lady probably still remembers Qi Yatou. Although there are no more people now, there will always be new people in the prefect's mansion. It is inevitable that her grandson will be bullied by her stepmother. It is better to marry her own family than outsiders. Besides, Miss Seventeen is a young master. My aunt, the young master should be more than thirteen this year, as long as Miss Seventeen gives her a bowl of Quzi soup without anyone noticing when she gets married, then Miss Seventeen will not be afraid to take care of her obediently.

For a woman who can't bear children, besides relying wholeheartedly on her legitimate son, what else can she argue for?

The more the old lady thinks about this marriage, the more she is satisfied. No matter how you look at it, it is good for the young master. As for Miss Seventeen, although the eunuch is old enough to be her father, it is a sequel, but the eunuch is an upright man with a bright future. Well, for a mere concubine to have this honor, that is already a gift, who cares about her feelings?

Today is Qingming, as early as a few days ago, Miss Seventeen came to ask the old lady for permission to return home to worship her mother.The old lady was thinking about her future plans, but she didn't insist too much on this matter. Miss Seventeen made it clear, and today was just the sixth day that Miss Seventeen left.

The old lady's words are quite useful. The Wang family is hot, and she doesn't want to talk about bullying her daughter-in-law. Now that she is at this age, she pays the most attention to her reputation. Besides, Wang's natal family is indeed powerful. Someone enters the imperial court to be an official, under the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, there is no wrong step in the officialdom, she is not afraid of the Wang family, and her Xiao family has its own plans, and they cannot lose their future because of a woman.

"Forget it, you send someone to see where the third master has gone, don't let him cause trouble again, this one or two are not a worry!" The old lady rubbed her temples, the old mother Very tactful, as soon as the old lady made a move, she took her hand, and replied naturally: "Please forgive me, I sent someone to follow up earlier, old lady don't have to worry."

"Hey, if the mansion is pure for a day, I'm afraid I can live a few more years..."

"Old madam, don't talk nonsense. Everyone says that old madam has a ruddy complexion. She looks blessed with a long life. Don't curse yourself." Looking at the other party, the old lady likes to hear people praise her at this time, she is absolutely right.

Sure enough, when the old nanny said this, the old lady's brows loosened a little, she nodded, indicating that there is no need to press any more, the old nanny understood, and slowly backed away...

Bai Yu's situation is very bad.

Doctor Qi's medicine began to wear off. Not long after Wanqing left, she woke up again. This time, she didn't fall asleep again after opening her eyes for a few seconds like the first time. She is now extremely energetic. Well, the pain in her body has also weakened a bit. She leaned against the bed, and Marvin carefully fed her some water, but Baiyu was still very thirsty, and there was even dead skin on her lips, so this The pot of water next to it soon bottomed out.

"Auntie, you..." Marvin hesitated to speak.

"Auntie is fine, young master, don't worry." Bai Yu licked the corners of her dry lips, and tried hard to squeeze a smile on her face. She looked around and looked a little strange, so she asked: "We where now?"

Ma Wencai was silent for two seconds before explaining: "This is a small courtyard. Before my aunt rolled down the hillside, because my aunt was seriously injured, it was too late to wait for Ma Zhan and others to find her, so I brought my aunt to this small courtyard. The courtyard, the owner of the courtyard has already sent someone to look for the people in the mansion."

What he said was extremely plain, but Bai Yu couldn't help frowning.

She knew how dangerous the scene on the hillside was at that time, since no one from the Ma Mansion has found her now, that is to say, the reason why she is still lying here now is all thanks to this child...

"Master, you!..." Bai Yu was a little shocked.

"I'm going to get some more water for my aunt." Ma Wencai felt a little embarrassed by Bai Yu's eyes, and he picked up the kettle from the bed again, intending to ask Bai Yu for some water again.

"Wait, master, my injury..." Seeing Ma Wencai get up quickly, Bai Yu is still a little uneasy about the current situation. Her injury should be bad, but it doesn't hurt much now , so she wanted to ask what was wrong with herself.

Unexpectedly, when Ma Wencai heard Bai Yu mentioning the wound, the roots of his ears turned red suddenly. He was already on the way, and he hesitated a few words, but before Bai Yu could hear him clearly, he quickly stepped out.

"Hey! Why is this kid walking so fast?" Bai Yu was slightly puzzled by Ma Wencai's move.While speaking, she felt the wound with her uninjured hand, and she didn't feel much pain, but she knew that this situation should not be, so Bai Yu restrained her expression, and decided to ask later, whether this child is for her. what medicine.

"Hey hey..."

"... are you okay?"

After such a short time, there was another exclamation from outside the house, followed by the voice of Ma Wencai who had just left the house.

"It's okay, the young master is leaving in such a hurry, why do you need a servant girl?" Wan Qing was dragging another tray with some side dishes and porridge on it. It was almost time for dinner, and Wan Qingzun's master ordered , specially brought food to Ma Wencai's "siblings".

Just now, Ma Wencai walked in a hurry, and almost bumped into her at the corner without paying attention.

"Excuse me, Miss, bring me some more water." As for the purpose of Wan Qing's coming here again, Ma Wen just glanced at it, and he had already made up his mind, so he didn't ask any more questions.After hearing this, Wan Qing nodded slightly, and said: "Young master, please wait for a while, and the servant will bring this to you after putting it down." She continued walking towards the house, and said as she walked: "This is my house. The master ordered the lunch to be prepared for you, the humble house is simple, I hope you will not dislike it, the doctor has already called someone to invite it, but the place is a bit remote, it will take some time to come here, please be patient for a while."

In the room, Wan Qing was a little startled by the person who had woken up on the bed, and only heard her say: "Is this young lady awake?" She walked two steps towards Bai Yu's bed, and said: "Slave servant Looking at your appearance just now, I thought it would take a long time to wake up."

What he said was very ordinary, as if he cared about the guests, Bai Yu looked at the woman walking towards him, and quickly realized that this person should be someone from the host's family who rescued the two of them.She nodded politely to Wanqing, and her demeanor returned to the appearance of being under the prefect's mansion, which made Wanqing's figure stagnate a little.

Wan Qing looked at the scene in the room calmly, and carefully sized up the white jade on the bed while she was talking just now, seeing that the other party was very polite, but it seemed that she didn't want to talk about it, so she sent her off just now. The things that arrived were put on the bedside by Lin San, presumably they were used, she was thinking about it, and wanted to say something else, but Ma Wencai, who was behind her, stepped forward, and he carefully told Bai Yuli He straightened the pillow, and said very politely: "Girl, my sister just woke up, and she is a little weak, so it's not appropriate to say too much. If I'm rude, I still look at Haihan."

After saying these words, even though she didn't show anything else, Wan Qing knew that the other party was issuing an order to chase away guests in disguise.

When Bai Yu first heard that Ma Wencai called herself a sister, her eyes were slightly stunned. Ma Wencai was very close to her now, and Ma Wencai could naturally see her expression. He didn't explain too much, and after he helped her up, he simply tidied up Get out of the medicine bottles at the end of the bed.

"It's my servant's negligence. The lunch has already been placed on the table. Please feel free to the two guests. The servant is in the outer room. If you need to call, you can just call." Wan Qing was very tactful. He took the initiative to back out.

There were no outsiders in the room, so Marvin stopped his deliberate movements.

"What's going on?" Bai Yu has been taking care of Ma Wencai all these years, and Bai Yu can feel the general idea of ​​his words and deeds.At the beginning, she saw some scattered medicine bottles at the end of her bed. It stands to reason that Ma Wencai and Mao's temperament would not be so scattered. When Wan Qing opened his mouth just now, he deliberately cleaned it up in front of her eyes. As soon as he walked here, he stopped. If it is not strange, then there is a ghost.

"This courtyard is a bit strange. You and I should be more careful. Wait for another half an hour. If the people from the mansion have not come, we will leave." After so much experience, Ma Wencai's mind has become more meticulous.After thinking for a moment, he still told Bai Yu about the current situation.

Ever since he stepped into this courtyard, he had noticed something strange.From the beginning when he knocked on the door, someone asked him, until he heard his voice, the backyard was quiet for so long before he opened the door. The above is regarded as a coincidence, but here Xiaodi is just an ordinary maid, with a demeanor. The etiquette of the aristocratic family is still practiced occasionally, so it's no wonder that he is overwhelmed.

From the beginning to the end, only the maid from Shicai showed up here, and the master never saw it. Maid, none of the other servants showed up, which is a bit strange.

The young lady is here, the servant is a servant of a noble family, and the "young master" went out, but there are not many servants guarding the house. The surname Xiao is a common surname. Just looking at the behavior of the servant, you can tell that the owner of this house is not low. In this situation, use abnormality to explain It is not an exaggeration to describe it.

He also looked at the clothes that were sent just now. The men's and women's clothes are similar in stature. The most important thing is that the texture of the material is not the Suzhou embroidery that is often worn by the nobles of the generation of Suzhou and Hangzhou. On the contrary, it looks a bit like the Hunan embroidery that the northern nobles prefer. , because his mother used to love Hunan embroidery, so he is very familiar with it.That is to say, the identity of the owner here must be either rich or noble, and it is very likely that he is not from Hangzhou.

If one of his guesses was confirmed, the other reaction seemed all the more strange.

He had to keep an eye out.

The water for Baiyu was placed in the house before he came. He tried the water first, and it was fine. Just now, he was bumped into by the maidservant without paying attention. It would be unreasonable for him to go looking for water himself, so he took the opportunity to give the water bottle to him. the other side.From this point of view, he also needs to be careful about the water brought by the maidservant.

In a word, he tried his best not to touch things here. Bai Yu's injury was temporarily stabilized by the strong medicine. Although the reaction in the future might become more intense, as long as a doctor came, he could temporarily suppress it.

At most half an hour, if no one comes, they will leave!

"Okay, listen to the young master." Bai Yu was also puzzled by the fact that Ma Wencai met and chased him one after another. After Song Zhi's incident three years ago, Ma Wencai had also paid attention to it, but there was nothing unusual in the past three years. The other party had already given up, how could he have thought of waiting here, if it hadn't been for his insistence on martial arts in the past three years, and ten servants of the Ma Mansion were dispatched this time, I am afraid that this time the ambush would not be so easy to escape. "Then that thing...?" There was still the lunch brought by Wanqing just now on the table, Bai Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Young Master, bring the lunch here, the servant will test the poison first."

In the past three years, poison testing has continued, but the person doing the poison testing is no longer Bai Yu. Usually, the things Bai Yu makes are not faked by others, and she also tastes them before presenting them. , so Ma Wen was relieved to eat.As for lunch, Bai Yu would not believe someone who said he was not hungry if he had a regular diet.

"Auntie, just sit still. If you don't eat a meal, you won't die of starvation." Ma Wencai frowned. What he said was a bit straightforward, but he made it clear that he didn't want Bai Yu to try this unknown thing.

Bai Yu was a little helpless, but after Ma Wen finished speaking, he found a rag and poured all the clear porridge on the table into it.Then some side dishes were also poured out, the bowls and chopsticks were placed by the bed as if they had been used, and the dishcloth was conveniently placed in the vase in the house.When Wan Qing came over with clear water, Ma Wencai put everything in order. Wan Qing glanced at it and left without saying a word.

There were only Bai Yu and Ma Wencai left in the room, and they were speechless for a while, and they were quite embarrassed.

"..cough cough, young master, the injury on the slave girl..." Bai Yu thought for a while, she was still a little curious about her own situation.

Someone on the side was cleaning up the sword wound on his waist at this time.To be honest, the mysterious man's sword was ferocious, if he hadn't avoided it in time and Chu Chun wasn't wearing very thin clothes, if he got hit for real, he might not only hurt his appearance.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, Bai Yu brought up his injury for the second time, and Ma Wencai naturally understood who had dealt with it. He might not be able to hide this matter. Reluctantly, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "It's me!"

He took a breath, wanting to explain, "It's me..."

"Master, what?" Bai Yu felt a little funny when he saw Ma Wencai's whole body stiff, "I want to ask, why doesn't the injury feel so painful now? But what medicine did the young master use? What did the young master want to say?"

"...." Ma Wencai's eyes suddenly opened, full of shock, he never thought that Bai Yu asked this, but now because of what he said just now, he doesn't know what to say, and he doesn't know what to say.

"What's the matter? Master is not feeling well?" If Ma Wencai had a meticulous mind, then Bai Yu's mind was delicate.If you didn't understand it before, then looking at Ma Wencai's awkward expression now, as a modern person, you can still guess a thing or two.

She doesn't mind, after all, the matter is in a hurry, and the other party is a child, he is like a younger brother in her eyes, how could she care about these things with "my little brother".

But looking at Ma Wencai's appearance, I'm afraid she still felt awkward, so even if Baiyu guessed what might happen, she wouldn't take the initiative to point it out. Not only that, but now she took the initiative to change the topic.

Ma Wencai naturally didn't know about Bai Yu's thoughts, and Ma Wencai was relieved when the other party changed the topic on his own initiative, he was really afraid that his aunt would pursue it to the end.

"No, I'm fine. The wound isn't deep, and there's nothing serious about it." Ma Wen just wrapped up the knife wound on his waist a few times. While the two of them were talking, the sun outside had turned slightly, recalling About Bai Yu's question before, Ma Wen took a step forward and replied: "My aunt has taken the new medicine made by Doctor Qi, and it is very strong after treatment. Doctor Qi told me not to take it unless it is an emergency. Before, my aunt's breathing was weak and almost never. That's why I had to give in to my aunt. Right now, my aunt is very energetic, and I'm afraid it will be..." He paused, "I'm afraid it will only be more..."

"Your servant understands. You don't have to blame yourself, young master. We don't have to force some things. We just let nature take its course." Bai Yu interrupted Ma Wencai's unfinished words. It's just death, she is not from here, and death may not be a bad thing for her.

Therefore, what she said was very relaxed, and she seemed to be calm and careless, but Ma Wencai frowned upon hearing this.

"How can..."

"Wait, young master, this servant seems to have smelled something." Ma Wencai wanted to refute Bai Yu's point of view. Fate is not predetermined, and he never believed in these things, but his words were just a start, so he He was interrupted by Bai Yu again.

Bai Yu sucked her own nose, making sure that the smell was not a mistake, and then quickly urged: "Quick, young master, go out and take a look, this servant has smelled it..."

As if to confirm Bai Yu's conjecture, very thick smoke gradually drifted in from outside the house.

Oops!

"Go!" Ma Wencai looked outside the room when Bai Yu was speaking, and almost at the same time as Bai Yu spoke again, he saw sparks rising outside the room.

What Bai Yu smelled just now was the smell of vegetable oil, and because he often pours it in the kitchen, he is very familiar with this smell.The smell is so strong that it cannot be a small quantity of stock.It must have permeated the air after spraying it, and things will go the other way, so she became suspicious on her side, and sparks ignited outside the house in an instant.

And as early as the first time Marvin entered the guest room, all these arrangements started quietly.

The Seventeenth Miss of the Xiao Mansion, small character Le Yao, is already seventeen this year. She is humble and gentle in front of others, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her talent and appearance are not inferior to others. Returning home to pay homage to her mother, Mrs. Xiao thought of her filial piety, so she specially sent her servants to escort her back to Suzhou.

No one would have imagined that the Seventeenth Miss of the Xiao Mansion, who should have been in Suzhou by now, is now in a suburb outside Hangzhou, looking at the burning room with a gloomy face. She looks at the sparks in the sky. Li's expression was almost crazy.

Those who owe her, don't worry, in this life, she will get them back one by one!
