Qingyi looked back at her and smiled slyly, "Aren't you boring, actually, I'm also boring." - Let's go, I haven't been able to find a suitable reason to wander around the Qi Mansion openly, and now I finally have a chance! After all, in fact, she still has some thrill-seeking cravings in her heart.

……

The master and servant walked around the house, passing by a few trotting maids or servants from time to time, seeing their panicked appearance, Qingyi wanted to advise them: You don't have to be in a hurry to find someone, so it is easy to miss the blind spot.

Of course, in front of outsiders, she still kept a low profile, just casually stopped a maid and asked Liu Er to ask where the second master's residence was.

The maid pointed to the northwest, "If you go back to the third young grandmother, there is an apricot orchard there, and the name is still given by Young Master Li." Later, after the death of the second master, Miss Tang and Young Master Li continued to live there, until the young ladies got married, and Young Master Li slowly went out of the house to live for a few nights before coming back, more than half a month ago, Young Master Li didn't know for what reason, said that he was going to go on a long trip, hurriedly packed his luggage, and left, and now he has not returned. ”

Young Master Tang, Qi Lianli?

Qingyi secretly wondered, half a month ago, at that time, her marriage with Qi Lianchen should have been finalized, what made this Young Master Li not even participate in his cousin's wedding, so he ran away in a hurry?

She dismissed the maid, and couldn't help but laugh because of her own thinking, thinking that she came here, and almost every day she was thinking about these secrets, strange things, interpersonal relationships, etc., and she was about to form a kind of house fighting occupational disease!

"Let's go, Liu'er, let's go over and have a look. - Liu'er? ”

As soon as Qingyi turned around, she saw that the girl had a rare solemn and sad expression, as if she had fallen into some kind of memory, a very sad memory, and even her eyes were a little red.

Qingyi couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong with you, Liu'er?" ”

Liu Er quietly turned her head away, sniffed, and then turned around and squeezed out a smile, "It's nothing, miss, the slave just thinks it...... I feel that Young Master Li is alone, and he sends people here without relatives and for no reason, which is very pitiful......"

"Yes." Qingyi knew that it was not so simple, not to mention that the mansion of a large family was not a place where sympathy was overflowing, and it was not worth paying too much sympathy just for the matter of sending people under the fence.

She didn't ask much, everyone has everyone's, and so is Liu Er, perhaps, Liu Er's life experience is almost similar to this Young Master Li? Will it evoke mourning?

……

The apricot orchard, as the name suggests, is full of apricot trees, and the only special place is that these apricot trees, for some reason, are hung with yellow ribbons.

Qingyi couldn't help but think of the Xingyuan Building that Liu Er had mentioned when she had just crossed here, but it was a place for singing, and it was also a place of great significance to her, the original young lady. - If she has the chance, she must go and see it.

Qingyi and Liu'er entered the apricot orchard one after another, the garden was not big, about the same size as the courtyard where she lived, there were three wings in it, although no one lived in it, but there were maids who cleaned it regularly, and it was quite clean.

Qingyi was a little disappointed, Old Lady Qi didn't hide here, she even saw it on the apricot tree, and didn't hide anyone, could it be that her judgment was wrong?

She had no choice but to leave, but found that Liu Er did not follow her in time, she turned back suspiciously, and found that Liu Er was in a daze with the yellow ribbon on a tree, her eyes were red, as if she had returned to the previous state of sorrow.

Problematic!

She remembered Qin Keqing and Gu Tianle, symbolizing longing and concern, usually to welcome relatives who returned from a long absence.

Could it be that there is such a saying in this era? And, who hung these yellow ribbons?

Young Master Li?

So, who is he thinking about and worried about? Isn't it...... Nostalgia for the late second master?

However, why did Liu Er react so much?

Qingyi couldn't help but pick up the ribbon on the tree in front of her to play, the high-quality fabric, the tentacles were smooth, as for the rest, there was no handwriting, no special furnishings, she couldn't see anything strange anymore.

"Liu'er, what's wrong with you?"

When Qingyi asked, Liu Er was quietly wiping the corners of her eyes, and when she saw her wife asking, she pretended to smile and said, "Miss, don't blame, the slave is just ...... I just remembered an old man, who was well-informed, and said that he hung a yellow ribbon on the tree, which represented the ...... of missing and loving. Alas, Miss should ignore the slave maid, the slave maid is just touching the scene, let's go find the old lady. ”

Qingyi nodded lightly and didn't say anything, but Liu Er's words crashed into her heart lightly, and for a while, nothing could be erased.

The master and servant went out of the apricot orchard and walked directly along the secluded path, without a purpose. The two of them silently did not speak, each with their own thoughts, and they did not even know that they were about to gradually enter the northwestern corner of the prayer mansion.

When Qingyi came back to his senses, he found that he had come to a place overgrown with weeds, it seemed that this was a long-abandoned place, but there was a stone road straight through, and at the end of the road, a stone hut could be vaguely seen at the intersection of two walls.

Unexpectedly, Qi Mansion, which is full of magnificent buildings, has such a nondescript hut.

Qingyi walked over, but was grabbed by Liu Er.

Liu Er glanced at the stone house and hesitated, "Madam, let's not go over, the stone house looks weird and gloomy." ”

Qingyi nodded, but it was not that she couldn't agree, but agreed with the last sentence that Liu Er said, the small stone house was lonely in the weeds in the corner, and it looked very gloomy.

Didn't hear anyone shouting that the old lady had been found, Qingyi subconsciously brushed away Liu'er's hand, and walked forward again, she always felt that the stone house was weird, perhaps, there were people hidden inside?

Liu Er followed closely behind, brushing away the weeds that stood in front of Qingyi or in front of her.

When the two approached, they realized that it was a locked stone house, the iron lock was a little rusty, it looked like it had not been opened for a while, and the grass in front of the stone house had not been trampled on.

It seems that Old Lady Qi is not hiding here.

Qingyi sighed lightly in her heart, she guessed the wrong direction again.

Liu Er behind him covered her snort, frowned and said, "Madam, let's go quickly, this place is not only gloomy, but also has a rancid smell...... slave maid is scared when she looks at it." ”

Qingyi nodded, and finally glanced at the room before leaving.
