Enter the red building

Dark, as dark as ever.

Red, where does red come from?It was blood, overwhelming blood that drowned me.

A pair of eyes staring at me, the eyes are so cute, so daunting!

······

"Don't! Don't! Don't—ah!" Xue Qiu woke up from the nightmare.

Mrs. Xue was sitting by the bed, wiping the sweat off Xue Qiu's face, looking at Xue Qiu's opened eyes, and asked softly, "Qiu'er, are you awake?"

Xue Qiu looked at Mrs. Xue without focus. This look made Mrs. Xue very scared, and comforted her: "It's all over, it's all over."

Xue Qiu vaguely saw Mrs. Xue's figure, and cried out, "Mother!"

Suddenly got up and hugged Mrs. Xue, tears couldn't stop streaming down, Xue Qiu said these few words intermittently, "He didn't--I killed him!" "Can't--blame me!".

Her voice was choked, and there was fear and hesitation in her crying, as well as a kind of despair.

Xue Qiu cried: "He died, I just watched him die in front of me, just like that, he died alone."

Even though Xue Qiu is very mature, both lives are just a child after all.

How frightening and helpless it must be to watch a person die in front of him.

Mrs. Xue was very sad, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, "It's not your fault! It's not your fault!" Mrs. Xue patted Xue Qiu's back lightly, and comforted her: "My son, I don't blame you!"

Slowly Xue Qiu cried and fell asleep on Mrs. Xue's shoulder, sobbing while sleeping.

Mrs. Xue put Xue Qiu away gently, covered Xue Qiu with a quilt, and was just about to get up when Xue Qiu grabbed Mrs. Xue's hand with his left hand in his sleep and held it tightly, fearing that she would leave.

The tranquilizing fragrance slowly diffuses from the Wenwang Ding, playing the role of calming the mind and tranquilizing the mind.

Nanny Li came in and said in a soft voice: "Ma'am, Mrs. Lin has come to visit the uncle again, and now it's Butler Xue who is receiving him, you see—?"

Mrs. Xue shook her head, go back and tell me that the uncle just woke up once, but he still can't calm down.Ask him to come back in the afternoon! "

Nanny Li nodded, looked at the uncle again, and persuaded: "Madam, don't worry too much, the uncle just can't accept it all at once, and he will be fine after a while."

Mrs. Xue shed tears again when she heard this, and said softly, "I know, but the look in Qiu'er's eyes when she woke up just now really worried me, as if she was like an empty shell. If he hadn't leaned on my shoulder and cried hard, I don't even know what to do!"

Nanny Li said: "Anyone who encounters such a thing for the first time will be afraid. Uncle is lucky and fateful, he will be fine. Madam, please relax!"

Mrs. Xue nodded her head and signaled Nanny Li not to stay here, but to go back to Master Lin.

Only Zhuqing and Ziyu were waiting in the room, while Lanrui and Lvlian went to decoct the medicine.

Xue Qiu didn't wake up until late afternoon, and after crying for a while, his mood calmed down a lot.

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Qiu's pale face, and asked with concern: "Qiu Er, do you want to eat something?"

Xue Qiu nodded, feeling a pain in his right hand, took a look, and saw that his right hand was already covered with medicine and carefully wrapped with gauze.

Ziyu was holding a bowl of glutinous rice porridge, ready to feed Xue Qiu.Mrs. Xue said, "I'll do it!" before she passed the porridge to Mrs. Xue, and asked Mrs. Xue to feed Xue Qiu by herself.

Seeing Mrs. Xue's concerned eyes, Xue Qiu burst into tears, and Mrs. Xue asked hurriedly, "What's the matter, Qiu'er? But what's the matter?"

Xue Qiu smiled and cried, "Mother is worried!"

Mrs. Xue felt relieved when she saw Xue Qiu's smile, and said softly: "You! You really scared me to death. I saw you being hugged back the other day with blood all over your clothes. At that moment, I felt that the sky was It collapsed. Afterwards, Nanny Li said that you are not in danger of life, so I got over it." Then he glanced at Xue Qiu's expression again, and said slowly: "Qiu'er, don't pay too much attention to that person, he deserves to die. Fortunately, Lord Lin is enlightened and did not blame Zuixianju, otherwise the entire Xue family would be implicated by him."

Knowing that Mrs. Xue was explaining herself in a disguised form, Xue Qiu forced a smile and said, "Mother doesn't have to worry too much, the son is just--it's just the first time I saw someone die in front of my son, and in my heart--"

Mrs. Xue said: "I know! But you have to know that if he doesn't die, it is very likely that you and Mr. Lin will die."

Xue Qiu nodded, and asked again: "What happened to Zuixianju?"

Mrs. Xue put down the small porcelain bowl in her hand, took the veil handed over by Ziyu, wiped the corners of Xue Qiu's mouth, put down the veil, and said, "Don't worry! Not many people know about this, Lin My lord also helped us manage our relationship. The business of Zuixianju has not been affected."

At this time, Zhuqing said, "The girl is here!"

Said, Xue Baoqin walked around the screen, looked at Xue Qiu with a worried face, hurriedly walked to the bedside, and asked: "Brother, it's all right. I scared my sister to death!" tears.

Knowing that his sister cared so much for him, Xue Qiu was very moved, and said with a smile, "Brother is all right, sister, don't cry, the make-up is all over, she's so ugly." His expression was still disgusted.

When Mrs. Xue and the others heard this, they all laughed.There was finally laughter in the house.

Xue Baoqin was originally sad for Xue Qiu, but when she heard this, she knew in her heart that her brother was teasing her, so she pretended to be annoyed, "Hmph! I came to see my brother with good intentions, but he still made fun of me like this. "

Pretending to turn around and prepare to leave, I heard a voice, "Sister, don't--ouch!"

Xue Qiu pretended to be in pain and groaned.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xue, Xue Baoqin, quickly leaned over and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Xue Qiu chuckled, "It's all right!"

Looking at Xue Qiu's heartless smile, Xue Baoqin knew that Xue Qiu was teasing her on purpose, but she couldn't get angry, so she only told her: "You need to take good care of your wounds! As for Tong Shi four days later, forget it." Bar!"

After hearing this, Xue Qiu remembered that his right hand was injured and he couldn't write, so he couldn't take the imperial examination.

Xue Qiu was very disappointed. After so long preparations, he couldn't even take the children's examination, let alone the provincial and general examinations in the future.

After thinking about it carefully, he said with a smile, "I will work hard to practice writing with my left hand, and strive to be able to participate in the children's test."

When Xue Baoqin heard that Xue Qiu was going to practice writing with his left hand, how could this be accomplished in a short period of time, just as he was about to say something, Mrs. Xue interrupted.

"Qiu'er, you don't have to worry too much. Master Lin has long expected you to say this. He will tell the chief examiner about your situation. He said that the chief examiner this time is his junior."

Xue Qiu felt strange as to what kind of official this Master Lin was. At the beginning of the Xuan Yin brief introduction, Xue Qiu only thought about kneeling to Master Lin, and didn't pay attention to the official position.

So he asked Mrs. Xue, "Mother, what kind of official is Mr. Lin?"

"Salt censor!"

Xue Qiu said in surprise, "What, Xunyan Yushi?"

The Yan Yushi in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is none other than Lin Ruhai, the father of Lin Daiyu, one of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling.

Lin Hai, the word is like the sea.
