Living Corpse (19)
Qingfeng and Xiaoju borrowed some money and bought some nice clothes. After changing into them, they came to the Geng Family Courtyard. The door was closed tightly, but the sign on it had not been changed. It still said Geng Family, right? Then Geng Family Courtyard. The steward is a distant relative of the Geng family, and his surname is also Geng, so there is no need to change it. Qingfeng pulled the iron ring of the door and knocked it down. With a few bangs and bangs, a man wearing servant's clothes opened the door. Seeing Qingfeng, he hurriedly asked: "Who are you looking for?"
"Master Geng." Qingfeng had a smile on his face, and his smile was as beautiful as a blooming lotus.
The young servant looked Qingfeng up and down. He probably saw that Qingfeng was young and beautiful. He nodded and said, "Wait, I'll report to the master first."
Qingfeng smiled and said nothing, thinking that the Geng family courtyard was indeed occupied by Geng Zhong. After waiting for a while, the servant ran out and said with a smile: "Miss, please come in."
Qingfeng swayed her figure and raised her feet to cross the threshold. She was very familiar with the Geng family. Every plant and tree was still there. Before she could finish her emotion, she arrived at the lobby. Geng Zhong was now the figure of an old man. He was over fifty. He was a little older and had gained weight. When he saw Qingfeng, he was obviously unsteady in his seat. He didn't know whether he was excited or something, so he stood up.
"Qing... Qingfeng."
"Fortunately, Mr. Geng still remembers Qingfeng." Qingfeng smiled and winked.
Master Geng hurriedly ordered his servants: "What are you doing standing still? Just watch!"
"Yes, sir." The servant invited Qingfeng to his seat.
At this time, Geng Zhong waved his hand and retired the servant. He looked at Qingfeng carefully and found that not only had Qingfeng not aged, he was even more beautiful than ten years ago. He was very surprised: "I haven't seen you in these years. It’s still so beautiful.”
"Master Geng is joking. Qingfeng has a beauty like Hongxiu, so how can he take Qingfeng seriously?" This was meant for Geng Zhong. Qingfeng wanted to test whether Geng Zhong still had feelings for him. mean.
Geng Zhong looked sad, shook his head and replied: "Don't mention it, don't mention it, by the way, why did you come today?" Geng Zhong did not forget Qingfeng's identity as the eldest young lady, and he forced the Geng family away Now that Qingfeng is back, he still doesn't know what Qingfeng means.
Qingfeng sighed: "I won't hide it from Mr. Geng. I have lived a good life outside these years, but as time goes by, I become more homesick. After all, I have stayed in the Geng family for ten years. Hey, I am used to living there." I feel pity for him when he sighs.
Geng Zhong was secretly happy and asked quickly: "Are you planning to come back and stay?"
"I think so, I'm just afraid that Master Geng won't want to." Qingfeng replied with a smile.
Geng Zhong smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'm not willing to do anything, I'm just afraid that you..."
"Master Geng, don't worry about it. I've heard about you and the Geng family. I can't blame you. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. It's human nature." Qingfeng knew that Geng Zhong would ask about this matter, so she might as well clarify it herself. , it will be more appropriate.
Upon hearing this, Geng Zhong smiled happily and replied: "In that case, I will ask my servant to arrange a room for you."
"Okay, okay...it's just..." Qingfeng looked at Geng Zhong nervously and said softly: "I'm afraid Mrs. Geng won't want to." After finishing her words, Hongxiu appeared in the lobby. She heard the maid tell her to come. I'm a foxy girl, so let's take a look. Hongxiu at this time is no better than ten years ago. No matter how beautiful a woman is, there will be a day when she will decline. Hongxiu cannot be said to be declining. Women in their thirties have more charm, but less of that. The feeling of stock that makes a man's heart flutter. Besides, I don’t know what happened to Hongxiu. After following Geng Zhong, she failed to give birth to a boy and a girl. Naturally, she was a little worried that her position would be unstable, so she became suspicious when she heard that a young woman entered Geng’s house.
"Hey, sir, do you have a guest?" Hongxiu walked in with her big buttocks swaying, but she hadn't seen Qingfeng's face yet.
Qingfeng had already heard Hong Xiu's voice, and slowly turned around and smiled. This smile made Hongxiu almost fall to the ground. Her eyes were full of fear, and her mouth began to tremble: "Qing... Qingfeng..."
"It's been ten years, I didn't expect you to still remember me..." Qingfeng deliberately smiled sinisterly.
Hongxiu felt the cold wind filling the room, which made her skin crawl. She took a step back and asked, "You're not..."
"I am..." Qingfeng did not finish his words, but smiled and replied: "I am Qingfeng. Now I heard that Mr. Geng is in charge, and I am back."
"You..." Hongxiu didn't dare to speak anymore because she didn't tell anyone about killing Qingfeng. Even the only woman who knew about it died a few years ago. She really didn't expect to see it ten years later. The dead come to life.
Geng Zhong glanced at Hong Xiu and said impatiently: "Qingfeng will not leave when he comes back this time. He will stay at Geng's house. Instruct his servants to arrange a room for Qingfeng to live in. Clean it up and make it more elegant." .”
"No...no..." Hong Xiu shook his head.
Geng Zhong's voice suddenly dropped: "If you are told to go, you will go."
At this time, a little girl about nine years old ran in, took Hongxiu's hand and shouted: "Mom, I want to eat candied haws."
"Yan'er, be good, go out first." Hongxiu touched the child's head, looking very nervous.
Qingfeng knew that Hongxiu had not given birth to a child for Geng Zhong, so he guessed that the little girl must be the evil one back then. She deliberately glanced at the child, which made Hongxiu even more nervous. She was afraid that Qingfeng would do something to the child, so she pulled her The child's hand goes away. However, how could a child know this? When he saw a beautiful woman coming into the house, he couldn't help but look back.
Qingfeng had already made up her mind. At this moment, Geng Zhong said he wanted to take her around, so he nodded and smiled, "Thank you." Although she hated Geng Zhong in her heart, Qingfeng had to put on a show. She looked like she liked him. After following Geng Zhong around the yard, she took Geng Zhong's arm with her hand. Geng Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then
Understanding, he touched Qingfeng's little hand.
In the evening, Geng Zhong had people prepare wine and food, and after eating and drinking with Qingfeng, he went to Qingfeng's room...
Hongxiu felt very uneasy when she heard her servant's repayment. It was obvious that a dead person could not come back to life. Now she was like a ghost. She treated Qingfeng like that at the beginning, and now Qingfeng must have done nothing good when he came back. The more she thought about it, Hongxiu The more I feel that I should find out whether Qingfeng is a human or a ghost.
Early the next morning, Hongxiu went out. Qingfeng was already Geng Zhong's concubine. She changed her clothes and hung gold and silver jewelry on her body. She was full of nobility. The servants looked at her and called her "two" respectfully. Auntie. Qingfeng smiled, thinking that this first step was a success. After waiting for Geng Zhong to get up, she walked around in the garden alone.
Suddenly, a little girl ran out from behind the rockery and almost bumped into Qingfeng. The little girl looked at Qingfeng and asked, "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
"I..." Qingfeng bent down and touched the girl's little face. She knew that this was Hongxiu's daughter.
The maid who was chasing after her saw Qingfeng and hurriedly pulled the little girl over, whispering: "Miss, call Second Aunt quickly."
The little girl was very obedient, blinked her eyes, and called Qingfeng sweetly: "Second Aunt."
"Yan'er is good." Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that this child was pretty and cute. "Yan'er is so good, my aunt will take you to buy candied haws, okay?" Qingfeng heard the girl clamoring for food yesterday and knew that the girl liked it.
At this time, the maid who was responsible for taking care of the little girl looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Second aunt, my wife... my wife won't let me..."
"I'll take care of anything." Qingfeng rolled his eyes at the maid, took the little girl's hand and left, leaving the maid in a daze. It's not good to follow, and it's not good not to follow. After all, she He still didn't have the courage to let Qingfeng take the little girl out alone, so he followed Qingfeng.
The three of them went to the street. Not to mention how happy the little girl was, holding the candied haws in her hand. Now she wanted this, now she wanted that. Qingfeng smiled and agreed. As long as it was what the little girl wanted, he would buy it for the little girl. Anyway, It was all Geng Zhong's money, but she didn't feel bad. Besides, things that children like are not worth much.
After walking around for a while, the little girl got tired, so the three of them sat in the teahouse and drank tea. To outsiders, Qingfeng looked like a mother-in-law and loved the girl in every possible way. Even the maid had never seen such a girl. Good aunt.
"Second aunt, I'll come." Seeing Qingfeng wanting to pour tea, the maid got up and waited on Qingfeng.
Qingfeng smiled, looked at the little girl, and asked gently: "What else does Yan'er want to eat? I'll call you, my aunt."
"Yan'er is full and wants to sleep." The little girl's eyelids were drooped. Children are like this. When they are tired, they want to sleep regardless of the occasion.
Qingfeng put his shawl on the little girl's back and said with a smile: "Then go to sleep."
After hearing this, the little girl crawled on the table and fell asleep. At this time, Qingfeng saw someone walking downstairs and quickly said to the maid: "Look at Miss, I'll go down for a while and I'll be back soon."
"Yes, Second Aunt." The maid nodded.
After Qingfeng finished speaking, he ran down and chased for a while before he finally caught up with the man and patted him on the shoulder. "Xiaoju."
Xiaoju wanted to go home after buying groceries, but she almost lost her soul when she was called. She turned around and saw it was Qingfeng, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Qingfeng, it's you, I was scared to death, I thought there were robbers. "
"It's bright and clear, and we're in the city. Where are the robbers?" Qingfeng laughed at Xiaoju for being too timid.
Xiaoju looked at Qingfeng's clothes and was a little surprised: "You are..."
"Don't ask so many questions. If someone asks you, just answer "I don't know." I'll give you this money. You can use half of it, and you can use the other half to help Jinhua and the others." Qingfeng took out the money he had on his body. All silver.
Xiaoju didn't know Qingfeng had gone to Geng Zhong's place. Of course she was surprised that Qingfeng could come up with so much money, but it was inconvenient to ask, so she nodded: "Well, what about you?"
"I have my own plan." After Qingfeng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
