On the one hand, Qin Wang and others were looking for the young emperor and the eldest princess who were living outside, and on the other hand, they were leading the army to fight against the five-nation army that invaded the territory of the ancient Jiang Kingdom.

For a while, the flames of war raged, and the victims fled to the surrounding area of ​​Fengcheng.

Along the way, many merchants were looted by bandits, and even hundreds of theft cases occurred in Fengcheng.

In the early morning, Liu Meier had just finished washing and washing, and hurried to attend class from the corridor.

I saw a group of guards in the garden grabbing a few people and walking towards the backyard. Those people were all injured on the face after being tied up, and it seemed that they were beaten badly.

When reading in the morning, Liu Meier held the book and yawned and yawned, her head shaking like a rattle.

"I heard that a few thieves broke into the mansion this morning, and they were beaten to death by the guards on the spot."

"My mother said that the bandits outside have been roaming around and making trouble in the city recently, and it's very dangerous outside."

Liu Meier, who was drowsy for a moment, slammed her head on the desk, and suddenly woke up from the pain.

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and those little fat guys laughed exaggeratedly: "It's really useless."

Liu Meier rubbed her forehead with her hand, feeling very righteous in her heart.

I saw the old master beating the desks of those little fat guys with a ruler and saying solemnly: "You haven't recited seriously!"

"Yes." The little fat man was so frightened that he didn't dare to turn his head back.

The sound of Lang Lang reading was heard in the hall for a while, and Liu Meier couldn't help smiling when she saw those little fat guys hanging their heads falteringly because of the old master's reciting their homework.

Let you laugh at people, and now you will be punished.

During the break between classes, Liu Meier no longer felt sleepy, she turned her head and quietly looked at Sister Dai outside the corridor.

Ever since she refused sister Dai to teach the piano that day, Liu Meier always felt guilty for some reason.

In the evening, Liu Meier was copying and writing homework in the pavilion beside the Linshui Pool, while Liu Juan was playing beside her.

"Mei'er, we can't go out to play during the Dragon Boat Festival this year." Liu Juan said in distress.

"Well, that's it." Liu Meier is afraid of the heat, and every summer she tries to stay out of her room as much as she can.

Liu Juan was folding a thousand origami cranes and muttering: "There are a lot of guards in the yard today. My mother said that a thief was caught in the yard, so she was not allowed to go out to play."

Liu Meier, who was busy copying homework, suddenly stopped writing, and vaguely remembered that Liu's mansion caught a few thieves before the chaos in Fengcheng.

At that time, wars continued in the territory of the ancient Jiang Kingdom. Not only were the five kingdoms captured, but also many bandits and victims looted their homes everywhere, and many wealthy families were looted.

Naturally, Fengcheng was no exception, after the first few thieves who came to Liu's house were caught.

Father Liu asked his servants to beat them up before sending them to the government, but he didn't expect that these thieves were just here to step on the spot, and there was a group of Jiangyang thieves behind them.

And the Liu family is a well-known wealthy businessman's family in Fengcheng, so they were naturally targeted by this group of Jiangyang thieves.

"Meier, what's the matter with you?" Liu Juan looked at Liu Meier who was in a daze and called in puzzlement.

"It's okay." Liu Mei'er looked at the unfinished poems, thinking that she should let her mother prepare earlier.

In the previous life, Liu's father fled straight away with Wan Guan's wealth and a few concubines accompanying him, and he didn't care about Chang's family at all.

Liu Meier, who went back to the house early, had dinner with Mrs. Chang, and the cicadas outside the window at night were very noisy.

"Is this meaty bone not to Mei'er's taste?" Chang looked at the slow-moving child and asked.

Liu Mei'er chewed her meat carefully and looked at her mother wanting to speak but stopped, but she didn't know how to speak in her heart.

"Mother, I heard that a thief was caught in the mansion today." Liu Mei'er only remembered being picked up by Chang's and fleeing overnight in her sleep in her previous life, but she couldn't remember the exact time after so many years.

"The world is very chaotic now, if Meier is afraid, sleep with your mother at night." Chang's soup comforted her.

Liu Meier looked at the big bones in the bowl annoyed, thinking that she was too young now, even if she said it, she couldn't take her mother away from Liu's house.

But Liu's father has always thought highly of himself, so he would never listen to Liu Meier's words.

After a few days of trembling and trembling like this, the mansion was safe and sound, and a troupe was invited to sing in the summer garden.

In the evening, a table was set up for a banquet, and men and women sat at the same banquet separately, and Liu Meier was able to stay at Chang's to eat the banquet because of her young age.

Drinks are kept at the banquet, and most of them can't eat greasy food in summer, and even many meat dishes at the banquet have not been eaten a few times. On the contrary, the sweet melon and fruit soup is favored by everyone.

"Miss Dai, you are thirteen now, and you are in your prime. I wonder if you can be married?" The concubine openly asked about the marriage.

Liu Meier, who was busy eating melons, pricked up her ears at once, and saw that Sister Dai was sitting in the concubine's room dressed in tulle and light clothes, which looked fresh and elegant.

"Now that I can't go home because of the war, I have no plans for marriage."

Sister Dai's answer fell into Liu Meier's ears. In her previous life, Liu Meier really thought that Sister Dai was homeless without knowing it.

But now Liu Meier knows that sister Dai has been lying, even to herself.

Liu Meier looked at Sister Dai who was good at talking, her eyebrows and eyes were full of sincerity, but there was not a single truth in her words.

Sister Dai is such a big liar!

Chang could hear the thoughts of those concubines, but she didn't speak out.

"I heard that the young master is learning the piano, but I don't know if his piano skills will improve?" Jiang Changdai lightly shifted her gaze to Liu Mei'er beside Chang.

Liu Meier's heart skipped a beat, her eyes suddenly became erratic, and her complexion was very anxious.

Mrs. Chang did not respond suspiciously to Miss Dai's initiative: "The child is lazy in summer, so he has lost his mind on learning the piano, and the piano teacher has long since resigned."

"So that's the case." Jiang Changdai looked at Liu Mei'er who wanted to hide her head in a bowl of sweet soup with interest.

The opera at this banquet was sung about love and hatred, many female family members watched it seriously, Liu Meier was a little stuffed, so she quietly left the banquet.

Walking from the seats to the spacious part of the courtyard, the grass is luxuriant in summer, and the rockery and caves in this garden are particularly realistic, and the pavilions and pools are even more exquisitely matched.

Liu Meier looked at the bright moon above her head, she could still vaguely hear the sound of lively opera not far away, but her heart felt a little uneasy.

The night wind was a bit sultry, and the bright moon shone brightly in the dark place. Liu Meier stepped on the stones in the pool and planned to turn around and go back to the shore.

Jiang Changdai was standing by the bank with a lantern in her hand, even the bright moon was not as dazzling as that touch of brilliance.

"Young master, aren't you afraid of being here alone?"

Jiang Changdai looked at the man restrained by the stone in the middle of the pool.

Liu Meier regained her composure and stepped forward to boldly respond: "I'm not afraid."

"Really?" Jiang Changdai looked at the brave man, turned her head to look at the figure hiding in the dark, and frowned involuntarily, "There are so many people in this garden, young master, it's better not to be alone."

Jiang Changdai has never participated in the overt and secret competition for the concubines and children of the Liu Mansion.

It's just that there is no guarantee that someone will not be allowed to take advantage of the riots and bandits to seek wealth and murder.

"Then why did Sister Dai come out alone?" Liu Meier lifted her clothes with her fingertips and jumped over the rocks to land.

Jiang Changdai withdrew her eyes and pursed her lips slightly in response: "I came out to look for the young master on behalf of Mrs. Chang."

As soon as Liu Meier heard about her mother, she believed it.

"Then go back." Liu Meier stepped forward, only to see sister Dai suddenly grabbing her wrist, and then the lamp went out.

If there is no light all the time, Liu Meier will not panic.

But suddenly there was no light, and it became a lot darker in front of her eyes, which made Liu Meier a little scared.

"What's wrong?" Liu Meier's legs and feet were a little weak, and she couldn't help hugging Sister Dai.

Liu Mei'er, who didn't get a response, inexplicably became more nervous and called, "Sister Dai?"

There was a clear smile beside her ear, and Jiang Changdai immediately said in a low voice, "Young master, is it because you are afraid?"

amount……

Although there is no evidence, Liu Meier always feels that sister Dai is playing tricks on her.
