Gongqing bone

Chapter 45

After sending the noisy Xue Feibai away, Du Heng came to Duke Qin's mansion where he had been during the day, and Xiao Zimei's two faces lingered in her heart all the time.

But right now, one only needs to find out: Is she a person with deep thoughts, or has too many things happened that caused her temperament to change drastically?

Du Heng performed lightness kung fu, and when he stepped on the fallen sycamore leaves, he fell to the ground like a cat, without the slightest sound.

Qin Jinnan and her mother's courtyard seemed to have been cleaned by no one, but it was covered with fallen leaves in a few days, and the windows were dark, as if countless spider webs had formed in the shade.The most vigorous thing is the weeds that grow all over the ground.

There are also a few big holes in the doors and windows, and the cold wind blows in; I don't know how the lonely little girl can live alone in winter?

Du Heng walked in through the gap in the door opened by the cold wind. On the tea table opposite, there was only a set of white porcelain tea set used by servants, the spout was incomplete, and the tea bowl was cracked.

The imperial concubine's couch was tidied up very cleanly, a sewing basket was tilted to the side, half of the most fashionable acacia pattern this year was embroidered on a piece of material, the stitches were fine and tight, it should be used to make clothes.

Du Heng could imagine that when Qin Jinnan's mother was taken away, she must have been sitting here quietly embroidering flowers, imagining how beautiful her daughter would look when she put on this dress.

There was a faint candlelight flickering in the green gauze cupboard, presumably Qin Jinnan was lying on the bed, and never thought that she would welcome an unexpected guest.

Du Heng looked at the inner room, which had been looted of all valuables, and it was hard not to notice the few books on the shelf.

Among them are "Women's Rules" and "Women's Ring" with brand new covers, and several music books that have almost been ripped apart.The only thing left is "Ke Chuang Gossip" and "Zi Bu Yu", which are all strange stories about people and ghosts.

Du Heng is very familiar with this book, especially this "Gossip at the Guest Window", there is no printed version in Beijing, and the bookstore does not sell it.It was her elder brother Lin Junyun who knew that she liked to read and write miscellaneous things, so he specially brought it back from a long trip.

There are two or three more copies of this book, one of which was given to Xiao Zimei.

Du Heng picked up another book of "Zi Bu Yu", searched two or three times, and found a story about "Singing Dog" in his memory.

In these two books, without exception, there are child abductions.

Du Heng shoved the book back with trembling hands. The book was like a thousand-year-old cold jade or a ten-thousand-year glacier, which flowed down her arm and infiltrated the cold into her chest continuously.

At this moment, Du Heng couldn't feel the beating of his heart or the flow of blood, but only felt that there was a ball of ice in his cavity, which made his limbs numb from the cold.

It turned out that it was Xiao Zimei who hinted at Qin Jinnan's mother's evil plan to kidnap and sell Qin Jinmiao... It turned out that she had such a vicious plan several years ago...

But what was she doing this for?
She and Qin Jinshu are close friends in the boudoir, why do they treat her own sister like this?Qin Guogong's mansion has no grudges with her in the past, and has no enmity in recent days. Why did she come up with such a vicious trick to plunge many women into boundless pain?what about now?What was the purpose of her provocative words to Qin Jinnan? ...

Du Heng's heart was in turmoil, and the image of a good cousin in the past collapsed in an instant, replaced by a ruthless, submissive femme fatale with unknown purposes.

She is like a poisonous snake wrapped in sheep's clothing and spitting out a message. No one knows when she will tear off the disguise and violently kill people; even, she doesn't need to tear off the disguise to kill people.

"Who's there!" Qin Jinnan yelled tremblingly and bluffed, and Du Heng put away his mixed emotions and hurried away.

Du Heng lay in bed all night and couldn't sleep. When Lin Lingzhi bid farewell to the couple the next day, Du Heng had huge dark circles under his eyes that could not be ignored.

Not far away was Sheng Ruchi in a brown shirt, besides a lean horse behind him, and a servant.

The servant was carrying a burden, standing bowed, with a gloomy face, neither speaking nor moving, like a hapless guy who was fished out of some unlucky occasion, it really made people reluctant to take a second look.

On the other hand, the way Sheng Ruchi smiled at them with his back against the boundless burning haze showed a touch of open-minded heroism.

Du Heng didn't know what his little aunt Lin Ling was thinking, so he just called himself to see her off; and on Sheng Ruchi's side was Xue Feiqing who hadn't seen him for a long time.

In Xue Feiqing's view, just like the setting sun saying goodbye to the sky, he is as friendly as blazing, but he can only say "treasure".The difference is that the sun will still rise the next day, and he is so friendly, this place is so different from each other, and it is very likely that we will never see each other again in our lifetime.

"Brother Sheng, I warmed the wine for you and brought it with you on the way."

Sheng Ruchi smiled wryly, you know that I never drink, that's all, in this life, how can there be a time when you don't feel sad?He originally wanted to leave happily, but he didn't expect to be infected with parting sorrow.

"Thank you Fei Qing!" Sheng Ruchi clasped his fists.

"Brother Sheng, you and I both know that you have suffered an unreasonable disaster this time; if Jun Yun is still there, we still have room to maneuver; now that Jun Yun is dead, you have to travel far away, the three of us, only me is left It's all alone..."

Lin Ling watched the tugging between the two, and felt infinitely moved in her heart. She held Du Heng's hand:
"Miss Du, I didn't expect that we would never see each other again in this life...Yesterday, Jinshu and Zimei were all there, but I didn't see you. I still want to say something to you personally." !"

After their husband and wife left, they were really like fluffy grass, wandering without support, traveling thousands of miles, and their official careers were bleak.

With emotion in his heart, out of the corner of his eye, he saw his new friend with his hands in his hands and his expressionless face, and he suppressed the sadness of parting.

Lin Ling even had some doubts in his heart. Has this brand-new friendship of his own, at this stage, already caused him to shave his head and pick his head?

Du Heng was speechless, as long as people are still alive, they are the greatest hope.I thought today was a farewell, but why did it look like parting from life to death?Who picked the time, it happened to be "the sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world".

Du Heng said, "I don't understand. It is said that Mr. Shan, your idols aren't Wang Yangming and Li Zhen? Isn't it an honor for you to follow their life trajectory?"

Not only Sheng Ruchi's idol is Wang Yangming, the three of them are close friends and are all solid supporters of Xinxue.

After hearing these words, Sheng Ruchi's expression could only be described as stunned.He was not surprised by Du Heng's treason, but felt that Du Heng understood his desperation.

"Don't think too pessimistically, staying away from the big dye vat of the capital for a while is only beneficial and harmless; once the emperor and courtiers are still here, you can follow Mr. Dongpo's eating lychees; when Jinshang kicks..."

Before Du Heng could say the word "leg", Lin Ling hurried forward and covered her mouth with quick eyes and hands.

Sheng Ruchi nodded with concern, feeling that he had met Miss Du too late.The lady is distressed that she is far away from the capital and going to a bitter place, but she doesn't care at all.
