Madam Zima turned sideways and asked He Hua with a sweet smile: "The singing is all in dialect, Madam, can you understand it?"

He Hua shook her head slightly and said, "I'm confused by the words, so I just listen to the tune and join in the fun."

"That's such a pity. The two women's tanci books are always up to date, and they have many tricks..." Mrs. Ma couldn't finish it, but she giggled at the contents of the tanci again.

Han Hongpei frowned slightly, gently pulled Lotus's sleeves under the table and said, "Don't pay attention to these women, the songs they sing are almost pornographic songs."

He Hua actually had some guesses in her heart. Seeing that Han Hongpei was like this, she leaned over and said to Madam Ma: "I'm feeling a little bored at this table. I don't understand either of you. Go to the garden to relax, and you can continue to have fun." Hey, I'll be back in a moment."

"This..." Madam Ma felt that it was not polite to let Hehua leave alone, but she really wanted to continue listening to the Tanci, so she was a little hesitant and didn't know what to do.

"I will accompany Mrs. Qi. Don't worry, Mrs. Ma. I will definitely serve as a good companion for your host." Seeing this, Han Hongpei got up and wanted to go out with He Hua.

"Then I'll leave it all to my sister." Seeing that she had a solution, Mrs. Ma smiled and called a girl to lead the way, leading He Hua and Han Hongpei to wander elsewhere in the garden.

The two of them walked along the narrow path for a while. Hehua saw a pond in front of them that was artificially diverted with water. The water was quite clear and there was a corridor and a beauty leaning on the shore. He pulled Han Hongpei over and sent the girl away: "I went over there to sit and talk. I know the way back. Go ahead and do your work. There's no need to stay here with you."

Without the girl in front of her, Hehua didn't bother to straighten her back and hold the shelf. She leaned directly on the beauty's back and looked into the water: "I don't know if there are any fish here."

"Although I come to this garden to gather several times every year, this is the first time for me to come to the waterside. I used to sit in the open pavilion and never met anyone who could accompany me out for a walk." Han Hongpei also said He relaxed a lot, and the tone of his words became casual.

Hehua looked into the water for a long time and saw no sign of fish swimming. She was slightly disappointed and said, "I'm afraid there are no fish. It's not living water after all."

"When Mr. Qi's political work of dredging the river is completed, there will be living water in the river in our city. It will not be easy for you to see fish by then." Han Hongpei was a little dumbfounded by Hehua's childish behavior, and couldn't help but speak. teased her.

"This is not his own business, and the horoscope has not yet been revealed. Success or failure depends on the inspection by the superiors, but it depends on everyone working together." Hehua thought of the rivers in the city with flowing water. I can't help but look forward to the situation. "I don't know if I will be lucky enough to see that day while my father is here. If I am transferred after only serving for three years, the river channel may not be completed by then!"

"If we can really get funding from the court to start repairing the river, I'm afraid Mr. Qi will have to work hard here for a while. We can't just start the business and change generals at the last moment. It will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he might end up retreating instead of advancing. Here!" Han Hongpei is much clearer about these matters in the officialdom than Hehua, but even though the two of them are very familiar with each other now, she does not dare to talk too much about the official affairs in the yamen. After just a few words, she changed the subject. He said, "Sister, can you see how many people are here today? When I had a gathering here before, only a dozen or so people came. Today there are probably more than twice as many people, but they are all here for you. of."

"Aimed at me?" Hehua raised her eyebrows in surprise, "I was not born with three heads and six arms. What is there that is worthy of so many people coming to see?"

"You usually live in seclusion at home, and you don't dare to come to see those people because of their identities, so you naturally take advantage of this opportunity." A hint of contempt flashed on Han Hongpei's face, "I'm afraid you don't know that you can come to the open house today. The people sitting here are all people with some wealth. It is no exaggeration to say that the top 30 people in Qingxi County in terms of money status can be counted on their fingers. There are many people here. Do you think Mrs. Ma is so kind? Spending money and effort to match you? They are all paid for posting."

"Post money? What is that?" Hehua knew a little bit, but still asked pretending not to know.

"That's right, Mrs. Ma's flower viewing party requires money to buy the posts." Han Hongpei snorted softly from her nose, "Her mother's family is from a business background, and she is not a person who can put on the stage. These are just picky things. , she is indispensable for everything. I am not the one behind the scenes, I just know it for you, so you should be careful in the future. But thinking about it, it doesn’t matter. She doesn’t dare to plot against you. .”

He Hua raised her hand and touched her head, made a pretense of adjusting her hat, stuck out her tongue at Han Hongpei and said, "So, this hat of the county magistrate's wife is pretty good at bluffing people, isn't it?"

The two of them were having fun when they suddenly heard a "plop" sound, as if something heavy had fallen into the water. However, they looked around the pond and saw nothing strange, not even a slightly larger water mark. .

"We saw a ghost in broad daylight. There must be something wrong with my ears!" Han Hongpei stood up, stood on tiptoe and looked around again. The surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet, and she couldn't help but feel a little sweaty. Feeling upright, he turned to look at Lotus and asked, "Did you also hear that sound just now?"

Although Hehua sat motionless, she still felt that something was strange. She looked carefully at the terrain and surroundings of the pool, and suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the other side and said: "Sister Hongpei, look, is that rockery on the shore or on the other side?" In the middle of the pool?”

Han Hongpei squinted her eyes and looked at it, and said hesitantly: "The rockery is quite big, and it is far away, so I can't tell it clearly. But I can't see the shore only from that side, I'm afraid it's coming from there. Noise."

"Let's go back first, and then send a few servants over to take a look. If nothing happens, it's best. There's no harm in being careful." Hehua was also confused in her heart, fearing that something else would happen if she stayed by the pool for too long, so she hurriedly greeted her. Han Hongpei returned to Changxuan along the original route and asked the two Xue family women outside Changxuan: "Mom, I want to ask, is the rockery next to the pond in the east standing on the shore or on the other side? In the water?”

"Back to Madam, originally the pond was not as big as it is now. The rockery was on the shore for people to climb and step on. Later, a child fell from the top into the pond. Although nothing serious happened, it still scared the family. Not bad, at that time my old man ordered that the pond be widened a lot, and the rockery was directly enclosed in the pond, making it look like an island in the middle of the lake. There were no bridges or boats, so naturally there was no way. People are up." The mother's words were clear and coherent, and she quickly explained everything clearly.

He Hua hurriedly said: "In that case, we should quickly send someone to take a look at the pool. Just now, Mrs. Liu and I were talking by the pool. We only heard a pop, but we didn't see anything strange around us. Only behind the rockery was there nothing. If you see a clue, go and have a look quickly, otherwise there will be no accident."

"Madam, don't worry. There are people guarding all sides of the pond. They must have avoided it after seeing you and Mrs. Liu going by. Nothing should happen." Seeing that Hehua's expression did not soften, the mother-in-law said hurriedly, "But old slave It’s better to ask someone to take a look and be careful.”,

He Hua then nodded and said: "Go back quickly, I'll go in and wait for your reply."

After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Han Hongpei's expression softened a lot. She patted her chest and said, "Since there are people guarding me, I guess everything will be fine. Maybe the servants were bored and made some noise! "

"It would be best if this were the case." He Hua responded softly and returned to her seat.

The two female Tanci had disappeared now. The people in the open hall seemed to be chatting about something. They all stopped talking when they saw He Hua and the others coming in.

Mrs. Ma smiled and asked: "Where have you two been wandering around? You have finished singing so many times of tanci but you haven't come back. I almost want to send people to search the garden to find you!"

"The garden is so big that I can't walk much if I want to. But I forgot the time while talking by the pond." Hehua said pleasantly, but her eyes glanced in the direction of the pond from time to time, waiting for the old woman to reply. .

Before the mother-in-law arrived, I heard some noises and screams in the distance, as if something terrible had happened.

The sound was a little too far away and could not be heard clearly when carried by the wind, but everyone could distinguish the screams. Their expressions changed slightly and they began to whisper uneasily.

Madam Ma's face darkened when she saw that she had encountered something unexpected when she invited Hehua to visit the garden for the first time. She called another woman from the Xue family at the door and asked, "What's going on in the east? I come to you every year." I’ve never seen anything so rude in my home, so hurry up and see what the ghost in the blue sky is called, it’s scary but weird.”

The old lady left and never came back. At first, everyone in the open hall was talking softly, but then it became quieter when they had nothing to say. The atmosphere was so weird that it made people feel uncomfortable. Some people who couldn't bear it started to I couldn't sit still anymore and wished I could get up quickly and say goodbye and go home.

Mrs. Ma's face became increasingly gloomy, and she sent her personal maid to the east to check, and said sternly: "No matter what happens, as long as you still have breath, crawl over here and give me an answer!"
