Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 53 The Bloody Man

"Where's fourth brother?" The snow just stopped, and the air became even colder. The second master, who was shivering in the cold wind, wrapped his cloak tightly and asked impatiently.

Qing Huan said: "Perhaps the servants were negligent, and the snow on a tree suddenly fell. I was afraid that my fourth brother would freeze, so I asked Xia Cao to change her clothes again."

"Fourth brother is alright, second brother, don't worry too much. Fourth brother has Xiacao by his side, so I won't forget the time." The fourth girl said with a smile.

After hearing this, Qing Huan gave a blessing to the second master: "Thank you, second brother."

The second master looked away uncomfortably.

Qing Huan smiled, although the second wife was not the head wife, she also helped share some affairs in the house.The clearing of the snow in this mansion happens to be the second wife's business, although it must be the fault of other servants, but if it is true, it is also the second wife's responsibility.The fourth girl deliberately made Qing Huan misunderstand the meaning of the second master, but she just hoped that Qing Huan would not pursue it further.

After waiting for a while, Xia Cao led Yan Jun over.

What Yan Jun put on was the white fox cloak that Xia Cao had just made. The whole person was wrapped in the cloak, making her red lips and white face look even more red.That appearance makes people feel that they are born extremely well.

Even the fourth girl was stupefied.

"Sister, I want to take a carriage with you." Yan Jun ran to Qing Huan's side, hugged one arm and raised her face.

"This..." Qing Huan looked at the fourth girl.

The fourth girl's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "I got up early in the morning, and I was still a little sleepy, so I squinted in the carriage for a while. Good sister, let me have a carriage."

"If it wasn't for me... I would have troubled the second brother and the fourth sister." Qing Huan said apologetically, and took La Jun'er's little hand again: "It's been so long since I've been here, and I still haven't greeted the second brother and the fourth sister."

Yan Jun blinked and saluted obediently.

The second master couldn't be angry when he saw it, he waved his sleeves and got into the first carriage.Seeing this, the second girl looked at Qing Huan apologetically, Qing Huan only smiled slightly.

When the second girl got into the second carriage, Qing Huan took Jun'er into the third carriage.Aunt Liu and Linglu followed, Mancao, Xiacao and the rest got into the carriages behind.

This place went to Ziyang Temple to have a funeral, Yan Mansion generously sent out five carriages, in addition to the people brought by the masters, there were several servants accompanying them, and there were also seven or eight guards.

"Fourth Miss and Second Master are really rude, they directly picked up two good carriages." Ling Lu said angrily.

"Speak carefully." Aunt Liu said.

Ling Lu flattened her mouth, lifted the curtain of the car secretly to take a look, and then said: "Didn't I say this after the carriage opened, the second master and the fourth girl are only one person. We have a girl and a young master here , and this time it's not they who came out to pray. Since they're here, it's still like this..."

"Sister Linglu, you eat." Yan Jun stuffed the mung bean cake given by Aunt Liu directly into Linglu's mouth.

With something stuffed in Linglu's mouth, the carriage immediately fell silent.

After finishing all this, Yan Jun blinked at Qing Huan.

Qing Huan covered her mouth and smiled.

Linglu took off the mung bean cake and went to scratch Jun'er's armpit, scratching while saying: "Master, you bully me too."

Yan Jun was ticklish and rolled around after being scratched, giggling and rolled into Qing Huan's arms.

"Okay, okay." Aunt Liu pulled Linglu away with a funny face, and said with a straight face: "It's not good if the young master loses his temper from laughing." After saying one sentence, she laughed again: "Young master will reward you with mung bean cakes. Thank you, young master, I am not bullying you."

"Auntie..." Linglu blushed, but she took the mung bean cake back.

Qing Huan stroked Jun'er's back slowly, and waited for him to calm down before letting him lie down again, and then stuffing the stove in his arms into his arms.

"How long will it take to go to Ziyang Temple?" Qing Huan asked.

Aunt Liu had already inquired about it.

"If we leave the city, if the speed is fast, it will take two hours."

Qing Huan pursed her lips.

"It's a bit far away, but I heard that it is the place that some officials' wives like the most." Aunt Liu said again.

Mrs. Guan likes it, so it must be thoughtful service and pay attention to the safety of those who go to stay.It's not that ordinary people can break in, but the safety has been greatly improved.

It's better to be farther away, as the distance is long, people will get tired easily.

The carriage moved forward slowly.

The fourth girl squinted her eyes and leaned on the pillow, while Shunqiao beside her was bowing her head and tucking her net.This time when going out, the old lady just asked herself to accompany Seventh Sister out, not knowing what that meant.Others may not know it, but Fourth Miss can clearly see that Grandmother doesn't like Seventh Sister and Fourth Brother going out very much.On the first day of the lunar new year, she didn't know what happened in the Rongshou Hall. Her mother sent someone to inquire about it, but she didn't know who it was.

This is the first time I have gone out since I was locked up. Some time ago, my mother didn't have to bring me with me when I went to my grandparents' house.The fourth girl pondered carefully, two days later it was the day when the second sister got married.Originally, I heard that they would come out a few days earlier to pray, but the old lady ordered to come out today.It seems that Seventh Sister is going to stay for one night, if there is an accident in the middle...
The fourth girl frowned. Could it be that the old lady didn't want her to appear on the day of the second sister's wedding, before she continued to think about it.The carriage stopped suddenly, and the fourth girl looked at Shunqiao.

By chance, he got up and got out of the carriage, and after a while, he heard the impatient voice of the second brother outside the carriage.

The fourth girl's heart moved, and she was about to go down to see what happened, when she saw Shunqiao lift the curtain.

"What's going on?" He said and looked out of the carriage.

Shunqiao said with a smile: "It's the fourth master who has a stomachache, Miss Seven asked to stop the carriage."

"Maybe it's because of a stomachache." Thinking of this, the fourth girl still got out of the carriage.

The second master was talking to the seventh sister with an ugly expression, and the fourth girl hurried over.

"Seventh Sister, what's the matter, just bear with it. When you arrive at Ziyang Temple, everything is convenient. It's so cold here, the carriage jolts."

"Brother..." The fourth girl tugged at his sleeve.

Seeing that it was her, the second master immediately shut up.

"Fourth sister, Jun'er probably caught a cold last night, and her stomach is not feeling well." Qing Huan said apologetically.

When Yan Jun heard this, she blushed and hid behind Qing Huan.

The fourth girl smiled: "Then we will be done in a while."

"Fourth sister..." The second master said dissatisfiedly, if it weren't for their siblings, he would not have come out in such a cold weather.This time I'm still waiting, isn't it going to be frozen?

"Second brother, fourth sister. If you don't leave two carriages behind, the fourth brother will have a stomachache. It may take a while. You go slowly, and I'll have someone drive over later." Qing Huan knew that the second master was unwilling to wait, The carriage in this cold weather was not prepared by himself.There was almost nothing on the carriage to keep warm. When Qing Huan came out just now, she also saw that the second brother didn't have a heater in his hand, so she naturally didn't want to wait in the snow.

The fourth girl hesitated a bit when she heard this, the old ladies and wives were not there, it was because she and her elder brother were older, if she left her younger siblings, she would leave first.

"Sister, I feel bad..." Yan Jun's face was flushed red.

"Auntie, you and Xia Cao took Jun'er to the small forest first." Qing Huan pointed to the side of the road, "See if the surroundings are safe." There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the wild, Qing Huan is worried about Jun'er It's down.

Aunt Liu hurriedly dragged Jun'er into the woods, Xia Cao followed with a small bundle.

The eyes of Qing Huan who stayed behind glanced at the grove from time to time.

The fourth girl thought for a while and said: "In this case, I will leave two servants and two servants. When the fourth brother is well, I must catch up."

Qing Huan nodded: "That's just one way, just let the carriage run faster later." It's just that it will be more bumpy, and the people sitting in the carriage will feel more uncomfortable.

The fourth girl also knew about this, but she didn't say much.The time was originally set, if it was delayed for a long time, the sky would be dark before arriving at Ziyang Temple.Then there will be some dangers on the road.

Watching the carriage leave, Qing Huan turned her head and said to the two servants and servants left behind, "Look carefully at the carriage."

After Qing Huan finished speaking, she took Linglu and vines and walked into the grove.

"Girl, maybe fourth master is shy, so my aunt took her farther away." Seeing that Qing Huan couldn't see anyone coming, Man Cao comforted her anxiously.

Qing Huan frowned, and walked inside again.

The branch on the ground was dry, and Linglu accidentally stepped on it.

There was a rustling sound, and it became quiet again.

Qing Huan's heart tightened, and she signaled Ling Lu and Man Cao to be quiet.Under their quiet eyes, a dagger was drawn from their body.

Qing Huan bit her lip, held the knife, and walked slowly towards the place where the sound was made just now.

"Don't move." A strange male voice sounded.

"Where's my brother? You want money, I. I'll give it to you. Just let my brother go." Qing Huan said with her mouth trembling because of fear. A corner of the clothes, but it is recognizable.It was really the sapphire blue peony-patterned gown that Jun'er had just changed in the morning.

At the same time, Linglu and Mancao took out the money bag from their bodies and said nervously: "This is all money."

"Girl..." Aunt Liu ran out.

Qing Huan was taken aback, how could it be.

"Sister... come quickly." Yan Jun's voice was heard from behind the woods.

Qing Huan hurriedly ran over, but still held the dagger tightly in her hand.

The scene behind the forest was not what Qing Huan imagined.

Yan Jun squatted on the ground and looked nervously at the man lying at his feet. The fox fur coat Yan Jun was wearing was covering him. The most important thing was that the man's face was blue and white, and his lips were purple. .

There was also an indistinct pool of blood on the ground.

"ah.."

"Shut up." Qing Huan turned her head and shouted fiercely.

Ling Lu covered her mouth and nodded in fear, Mancao patted her shoulder, she was also afraid.

"Sister, save big brother. Big brother is a good man." At this time, Yan Jun pulled Qing Huan's clothes and said, her big eyes were full of tears, but because of Qing Huan's instructions before, she couldn't hold back her displeasure. let stay.

"What's going on?" Qing Huan frowned and looked at Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu said in a low voice: "Fourth Master refused to go outside, so he came in a little farther away. We had checked it before, but we didn't know where a snake appeared. If it wasn't for him.. saved the young master."

Aunt Liu sighed angrily.If something happened to the young master, how could she have the face to see the master and wife.

"Miss Seven, is that snake poisonous?" Xia Cao whispered.
