The Buddhist hall of the Fuji Mansion has been renovated and rebuilt, with vermilion lacquer pillars, blue tiles, bright yellow Buddhist shrines, and half-lit incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the Buddhist shrine."
Miss Chu is here!"
As soon as Chu Heng stepped into the realm of the Buddhist hall, he heard the green Qiao in the courtyard shouting, and then the little girl who ran over to the water."
Are you practicing dance?"
Chu Heng smiled and reached out to help Lu Qiao tie the buttons on his collar: "Look at your sweat." ”Lu Qiao's little face was flushed, she held an arm-length bamboo stick in each hand, and staggered and knocked it, and the bamboo stick made a thumping sound: "Girl, this sacrificial dance you taught is really powerful, and it is much more interesting than the dance that Lu Qiao danced before." ”"You are talented, just stand in front of the team, take them with you, you will play tonight, can you have confidence?""
Confidence is naturally there, this dance has been practiced for so many days, and it has long been familiar with it!"
Lu curled his body, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were proud: "They don't dance as well as me." ”Chu Heng smiled when he heard this, and tilted his head to look at the little girls standing behind Lu Qiao.These little girls didn't seem to take Lu Qiao's words to heart at all, and they all looked eager to try.Chu Heng looked at them one by one and found that there was no one missing."
Where's Han Dong?"
Chu Heng frowned: "Why don't you see her again?"
”Lu Qiao flattened his mouth, turned around and let those little girls continue to practice, and then pulled Chu Heng to the corner of the wall with people on his back: "Girl, it's not that I said Han Dong behind my back, it's really because she is too disagreeable."
She turned out to be the daughter of a teacher, and she wasn't a big lady, but if you look at her current eldest lady, she is more than anyone else. ”"Where did she go?"
Chu Heng's face sank, he had been preparing for this sacrifice for a long time tonight.This person who dances the sacrificial dance is indispensable, what is Han Dong doing at this juncture?"
Said she was going to see her brother."
Lu Qiao shrugged his shoulders, and only the whites of his eyes were rolled: "Girl, you pity Han Dong for just losing her relatives, it's not good to criticize her, last time you asked me to persuade Han Dong in private, I have persuaded her."
She didn't listen at all.I don't have the consciousness to be a maid at all......"
"Did you go out of the house to see her brother again?"
”Chu Heng clenched his palms: "The parade will start soon, we have to get her back quickly......"
Chu Heng originally saw that Han Dong was alone with her younger brother, so he allowed her to go home to visit her younger brother in her free time.But at such an important moment today, Han Dong actually went home?"
Han Dong's family lives in the north of the city, and the specific location of the slave and maid is not clear......
Lu Qiao also realized that things are a little bigger: "There is still more than an hour before the parade, Miss might as well let Chen Qixian take someone to the north of the city to find Han Dong."
It's not that you can't find anyone if you ask. ”"That's the only way to do it now."
Chu Heng glared at Lu Qiao: "Han Dong is not sensible, are you also not sensible?"
Don't you know how important it is today?
How can you let Han Dong out of the house?!
”Midori hung his head.Isn't it because Miss Chu you allowed her to go back to the house to visit her brother in her free time, so this kind of thing happened."
Miss Chu, Lu Qiao knows that ...... is wrong" Chu Heng waved his hand: "Okay, I'm about to parade."
You tell them to stop jumping, take a good rest, and recharge some energy.Other than that.If Han Dong comes back, let me know as soon as possible. ”Midori nodded hurriedly.Cheng.A dilapidated courtyard inside.Han Dong was squatting in the courtyard, fanning the medicine stove with a half-faced fan in his hand.Seeing that the medicinal soup was almost finished, Han Dong got up and went into the kitchen, came out with a celadon bowl again, and poured the medicinal soup into the bowl."
Brother, it's time to drink the medicine."
After frying the medicine, Han Dong entered the house with the medicine bowl.Originally, it was sunset, and with the lingering moisture in this room, the whole room was very cold.A little boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old was nestled in the quilt on the kang, coughing incessantly."
I'll be fine after drinking the medicine."
Han Dong sighed and sat on the edge of the kang: "Be good, drink the medicine." ”The boy raised his head, his dark eyes were unfocused, he fumbled and took the medicine bowl in Han Dong's hand, and poured all the medicine soup down as soon as he raised his head."
Sister, go back earlier, you are now a maid of the Fujiwang Mansion, and you always come out to see me, which is not good.""
My sister has to go back soon."
Han Dong said two words, took out a silk and began to wipe his tears: "Pity you are the pride of the sky, a flood actually broke your eyes." ”"Sister, it's not a bad thing to have broken eyes, since my eyes can't see, my brother's heart is purer.""
But ......"
Han Dong wiped the tears on his cheeks, and reached out to hold his brother's hand: "Brother, if your eyes can't be cured, it will affect your career in the future." ”"There is not only one way to go in this world.""
But Dad has always hoped that you can be named on the gold list and shine on the lintel.It's rare for my younger brother to be ...... at a young age" Han Dong's words came to an abrupt end here, as if he had fallen into a long memory.At that time, the younger brother was the pride of the sky, and at the banquet to celebrate the younger brother's middle lift, I don't know how many famous places came, and they praised the younger brother for his young and promising, and he would inevitably leap into the abyss and become famous.But a flood turned all this upside down.It was such a good home, but suddenly both parents died, and his younger brother had a bad eye, and all the burden of life was on Han Dong's shoulders."
Sister, don't talk about this, don't worry, I, Liu Qingfeng, won't complain about myself because of an eye disease."
Han Dong sighed and stood up, she looked at Liu Qingfeng who was trembling in the quilt, and the more she looked at it, the more distressed she became.The younger brother is too sensible, and he hides all the hardships by himself, and he doesn't want to be anxious about being a sister.Originally, after the death of his parents, Liu Handong and Liu Qingfeng, two sisters and brothers, depended on each other, but Liu Qingfeng's body was weak, and he had to take medicine to see a doctor.Since Han Dong entered the house as a maid, he has been more lenient in the money, but he has less time to accompany his younger brother, his younger brother suffers from eye disease, and he keeps coughing, and there is no one around him to take care of him, and he doesn't know how to survive this day......
With a sigh, Han Dong got up and walked out the door: "Sister has to hurry back to the Fujiwang Mansion, and I will come back to see you tomorrow." ”"Sister, I'm fine at home by myself, you have left me money."
Liu Qingfeng coughed twice.He also said: "Sister, don't always run home, if you make the master of the Tengwang Mansion unhappy, my sister will be punished." ”"You don't have to worry about my sister, my sister and the master are kind, she allowed me to come back to see you."
Han Dong said goodbye to his younger brother and walked out of the courtyard.The sun had set, and the western sky was red.Han Dong went out.Tightening the collar of his clothes, he looked back at the courtyard again, and then quickened his pace and walked towards the Fujiwang Mansion.I just walked a few steps.Suddenly the road was blocked.Han Dong looked up and saw a woman in front of him who was hiding in a black robe.Qin Lan rubbed her hands, she had been waiting at the mouth of this alley for almost an hour, and her hands and feet were going to freeze.can be regarded as waiting for Han Dong to come out."
You're Han Dong, right?"
Qin Lan took out a small clay bottle from his arms."
You are?"

Han Dong frowned slightly, seeing that it was getting dark.The march was about to begin, and she didn't have the time to delay it."
I'm the one who can help you."
Qin Lan shook the small porcelain vase in his hand: "Your younger brother has been smart since he was a child, and he has never forgotten it, and he has been promoted at a young age.But now he has broken his eyes.I can't take the path of the imperial examination anymore, yes or no?
”Han Dong nodded, she looked at Qin Lan suspiciously.After a while, he asked, "You just said you could help us?"
”"Yes, I can help you."
Qin Lan put the small clay bottle in his hand into Han Dong's hand: "You only need to help me do one thing."
Not only will I be able to help your brother heal his eyes, but I will also give you a sum of money so that your brother can concentrate on preparing for the imperial examination. ”After that, Qin Lan untied the money bag on his waist again and handed it to Han Dong: "You can keep this silver." ”Han Dong stretched out his hand to take the bulging money bag and weighed it at least fifty taels: "Who are you?"
”"Who I am has nothing to do with the transaction between us."
Qin Lan rubbed her hands again, this ghost weather is really cold."
But I don't even know who you are, how can I trust you?""
The fifty taels in your hand are real, you don't have to believe me, you can trust the silver."
The corners of Qin Lan's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "This silver is just a deposit, if you finish today's business, I will send someone to treat your brother's eyes, and after that, I will have a sum of money for you." ”Han Dong bit her lip, she knew that this windfall must not be so easy to take, but Qin Lan's proposal was too tempting, if her brother's eyes could get better, she would be willing to do anything."
What do you want me to do?""
Happy."
The smile on the corner of Qin Lan's mouth became even bigger, and she pointed to the ceramic bottle in Han Dong's hand: "What you have to do is very simple, pour this powder into the bamboo stick you used for dancing the sacrificial dance." ”Han Dong lowered his head, took the cloth bag around his waist next, and took out two bamboo sticks from it.Qin Lan stretched out his hand to take the bamboo stick, first pulled out a button from the cuff and stuffed it into the bamboo stick, then took the porcelain bottle, poured the powder in the porcelain bottle into the bamboo tube, and ripped off a ribbon to block the bamboo tube."
The position where you danced the sacrificial dance is behind Chu Heng, and when you hear the sub-clock ringing, pull out the ribbon and sprinkle the powder on Chu Heng.Rest assured, the powder is so subtle and dark that no one will find out that you made it. ”Han Dong took the bamboo stick with a trembling hand, his face had become pale without a trace of blood: "If it weren't for Miss Chu helping me, I wouldn't have the money to buy medicine for my brother at all......"
"But after you finish this, your brother won't be sick anymore." ”Qin Lan's eyes were full of sarcasm, but the words in her mouth were gentle and dripping: "You are doing this for your brother, you are forced to do it."
And this medicine is not poison, it is not a big deal to Chu Heng's body, it just makes her fall when she dances the sacrificial dance. ”"Isn't this poison?"
Han Dong looked up at Qin Lan, his eyes lit up: "Won't it harm Miss Chu's body?"
”"Naturally not."
Qin Lan smiled gently: "Think about it, just let Chu Heng fall one heel, can save you and your brother from the fire pit, isn't this deal cost-effective?"
”"Okay, I promise you."
Han Dong put the bamboo stick into the cloth bag and hung it on his waist: "I sprinkled this powder, won't anyone find out that I made it?"
”"Naturally not, the effect of this powder is weak, Chu Heng will only think that she is in a trance for a while, and she will not think that this is artificial.""
That'll be fine."
Han Dong nodded: "I have to go back quickly, seeing that the parade is about to start." ”"Okay, let's go.I'll watch you on the way to the parade. ”Qin Lan smiled, turned around and jumped onto the wall, and a few ups and downs disappeared.After Qin Lan's back disappeared, Han Dong reached out and touched the small bamboo stick on his waist, took a deep breath, and stuffed the bag of fifty taels of silver into his arms, and then quickened his pace and walked towards the Fujiwang Mansion.As soon as he passed through the two alleys, he saw Chen Qixian driving the carriage and walking towards him."
Han Dong?"
Chen Qixian saw Han Dong, and his eyes immediately lit up: "I've been looking for you for a long time, the parade will start immediately, come back with me!"
”Hearing this, Han Dong trotted up with his skirt, and when he arrived in front of the car, he quickly climbed into the carriage: "I'm sorry, Brother Chen, my brother ...... him" "Don't say it, don't say it, we all know about your brother." ”Chen Qixian sighed, picked up the reins, turned the carriage around, and then rushed to the vine king's mansion.At the gate of the Tengwang Mansion, Chu Heng was anxiously looking at the door.Chu Heng stood beside Ji Cheng and Jiang Lan.Ji Cheng's face is not good, there is a maid waiting for the whole house, what is the matter with this spreading?"
Is it really not possible to dance the sacrificial dance without one person?"
Ji Cheng lowered his voice and said in Chu Heng's ear: "Anyway, this day is good, as long as the rain stops." ”"This can't be done, the rituals of worshipping the heavens are all regulated."
Chu Heng sighed, and said: "The layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, I'm afraid that if someone stares at this heavenly sacrifice ceremony today, people will not tell the jokes, and then put on an ungodly hat, I can't stand it." ”When Ji Cheng heard Chu Heng say this, he wanted to laugh inexplicably.It sounded like Chu Heng didn't seem to have any reverence for the gods, what she was afraid of was human words.At this moment, the carriage carrying Han Dong stopped at the gate.Liu Handong got off the carriage and saw that everyone was looking at him, and he immediately panicked."
I ......
I came back late. ”Liu Handong bent his knees and shook at Chu Heng and the prince Ji Cheng: "I'm sorry." ”"Why is it still mine."
Ji Cheng frowned: "You have been in the mansion for a long time, don't you know what to call yourself?"
”Liu Handong was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Ji Cheng suspiciously: "What do you call yourself?"
”Ji Cheng instantly wanted to eat a fly, if it weren't for the fact that this person was Chu Heng's, he would have sold it a long time ago, and at this time he was impatient to continue talking to Liu Handong, he patted Chu Heng on the shoulder, turned around and walked to the front of the team.
