Li Wei was sending the doctor out of the house, and he asked worriedly: "Doctor, is my sister really not sick?"

"Look, I didn't even prescribe the prescription, so I was not sick." The doctor carried the medicine box and sighed again: "Make my sister's pulse stable, her complexion is normal, and there is no disease. I guess something has stimulated her. I can't know."

Li Weizheng stopped asking more questions. He took out an envelope and handed it to the doctor, "This is twenty gold coins. Thank you for coming to the doctor."

"Okay, I'll say goodbye." The doctor took it and bowed, leaving quickly.

Li Weizheng returned to the room. The room had just been cleaned up. The walls were white and the light was bright. Qianqian was lying quietly on the big bed, as if she had not woken up yet, but Li Weizheng knew that she had actually woken up. Seeing him coming in, Gu Ying stood up and said, "I'll go and pack up first."

She left tactfully. Li Wei was sitting slowly by the bed, staring at the pretty girl in front of her, remembering the situation when she first met her. She was like an ugly injured duck, humble, thin, tattered clothes, messy hair, and her eyes showed a look of despair that he still remembered. But in front of her, she was like a swan that was growing quietly. Her dirty and gray feathers disappeared and covered with snow-white new feathers. She began to show a noble and fresh temperament. It was this temperament that made Li Wei Zheng begin to doubt her true identity. She should be the daughter of an official family, a small fish that escaped the net and flowed into the mud during Zhu Yuanzhang's repeated massacres.

Until today, he gradually realized something. Guo Qianqian, wasn’t the owner of this house also named Guo?

Li Wei sighed softly and held her soft little hand, "I know you are not asleep, so my elder brother wants to say a few words to you. Your past life experience will not ask you, but you just need to remember one thing, since my elder brother is your only relative, you should trust my elder brother wholeheartedly. If you have any requirements or dissatisfaction with me, you have to say it out. If you don't like this house, my elder brother will sell it and let's change the place again."

Qianqian still didn't say anything, but her eyes slowly turned red. Two crystal tears slid down from her white porcelain face. Li Weizheng silently wiped away her tears, and then put a strand of black hair on her forehead. Qianqian's chest was fluctuating violently. She could no longer help but pounced into Li Weizheng's arms and burst into tears, "This is my original home!"

The gate of memory was quietly opened, and the past was pouring out like a tide. In the 18th year of Hongwu, someone reported that Guo Heng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, embezzled tax grain. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and executed Guo Heng's entire family and investigated it severely, and implicated it. More than 30,000 Ming officials were killed. Officials from the court were almost wiped out. In the end, more than 20,000 stolen grain were investigated. There were countless bankrupt large-scale households across the country. Guo Qianqian was Guo Heng's youngest daughter. Because she was sold to the sect as a slave for her young age, she finally turned over to Li Weizheng.

"If my father is killed by corruption, then I have nothing to say, but can he, a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue, be greedy for the tax grain for the Ming Dynasty for a year? 24 million stones! Even if my father has the courage to collude with more than 30,000 officials under the nose of the Jinyiwei, how many families are destroyed and their wives and children are separated. In that month, the sky that kills the capital turns red."

Qianqian gradually calmed down. When she had a new home and a new home, after venting it happily, the pain of the past no longer hurt her as deeply as before. Although it was still imprinted in her heart unforgettably, at least she could tell the past peacefully.

Li Weizheng came to this era in the 22nd year of Hongwu. He could not personally experience the massacres of the Hu Weiyong case, the Hu Heng case, and the Guo Heng case. However, from his relatives around him, he still felt the cruelty of the massacres back then. He didn't know much about the Guo Heng case, but he also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be groundless. From his experience in the past six months, he knew that the integrity of the Ming Dynasty was only relative, and it could not be said that it was really spotless. There was no official.

A little extra income is to support the family. He thought that the Guo Heng case was just a purge of corruption in the officialdom by Zhu Yuanzhang, but his standards were too harsh. Twenty taels of silver died, sixty taels of skin, and the nest was covered, how could there be a complete egg? It was his unusual jealousy of officials corruption that made Zhu Yuanzhang raise his butcher knife high in the Guo Heng case and sweep away. Many officials who only took a pair of socks in the public can't escape.

Gradually, Li Wei was feeling the calmness of Qianqian. He helped her sit up and stared into her eyes and said, "The past is over. You can't live in the past sorrow. You have to live a peaceful life and smile happily so that your parents can rest in peace. This time it's not good for the eldest brother. You shouldn't buy this house. The eldest brother will buy another house tomorrow. We won't live in this house, but we won't sell it, so we will stay here. What do you think?"

Qianqian shook her head and whispered: "This is my home, I just want to live here. Brother, don't buy it anymore. There are many happy memories of me here. I feel very peaceful when I live here."

She stood up with Li Weizheng's arm, walked slowly to the window, staring at the green outside the window. After a long time, she sighed softly and said, "Brother, please accompany me for a walk!"

The two walked slowly to the garden. The stone paths in the garden had just been paved. A white cobblestone road stretched far away. The road was covered with green trees and green bamboo bushes. Guo Qianqian walked to a tall osmanthus tree and gently stroked the thick trunk. She said sadly: "When I was a child, there was a swing here. Once, when I was swinging, the rope broke and I fell down and lay down for three days."

She rolled up her sleeves, exposed a white lotus-like arm, pointed at a faint scar and said to Li Wei, "Look, this is it. After the injury healed, my father beat me hard."

"This is just your villa!"

"To be precise, it is the residence of my mother and Liu Niang and Brother Chunshui. My mother is my father's youngest concubine. My grandmother doesn't like my mother and Liu Niang, so my father bought this house for the four of us to live in. There are more than a dozen servants. Brother Chunshui is four years older than me and was kidnapped by the Jinyiwei."

Li Wei was silent. He still didn't tell Qian'er that she was also an Jinyiwei, and she couldn't help but feel worried. How can I say this? She will know sooner or later.

After walking around the garden, Qianqian's mood gradually calmed down and became cheerful. She pointed to the rockery pavilion and told him about many happy childhood days, and smiled on her face.

Walking out of a side door, they walked around the front of the building, Guo Qianqian pointed to the courtyard in front and said, "Brother, let's go to the patio and take a look!"

The most conspicuous thing in the patio is the five hundred-year-old apricot tree, with lush branches and leaves covering the scorching sun, but Guo Qianqian was concerned about the stone table, with patterns painted on it all made when she was a child.

"These are from when I was seven years old. That year, Brother Chunshui gave me a knife. I carved flowers here, but my mother found out and scolded me, and the knife was taken away."

Li Wei was following her silently all the way, without interrupting her memories of the past. He found that Qian'er's mood had gradually come out of the shadow of the past. He felt very relieved that this house was actually bought right, and it was the key to untie Qian's heart. People often cannot get out of the shadow of failure and pain in escape. Only by facing it bravely can they truly get rid of the misfortune of the past. There is often only a piece of paper between sadness and happiness, which depends on whether you have the courage to break it.

"The osmanthus flowers bloom, I come with a small basket, my mother makes hair oil, and my father makes fine wine..."

Qianqian stroked the patterns on the stone table and hummed the songs of her childhood gently. A gentle expression appeared on her face, as if her thoughts had returned to her childhood.

The newly bought mansion is not big, so I finished it soon. Li Wei was thinking about going to find a new shop in the afternoon, so he smiled at Qianqian and said, "Since I finished reading it, go back to the house to prepare for dinner! In the afternoon, I will take my cousin to find the shop. You go to buy some quilts and pillows and curtains. I haven't had time to do these, so I will leave them to you."

After walking around, Qianqian was a little tired. She nodded and returned to the inner house with Li Weizheng. When she passed by the guest room, Qianqian suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Brother, there is a secret place in this house, which may be a basement, you may not know yet."

"What secret place?" Li Weizheng also developed a strong interest. When he collected the house, he asked the original owner if there were any secret places such as basements. However, the original owner denied that there was no basement, but now there is another one, which means that the original owner didn't know.

"Brother, come with me!" Qianqian pulled Li Weizheng and walked towards the guest room. The guest room was an independent courtyard, with a row of bungalows and four rooms. There was a well near the wall of the courtyard. The well platform was covered with moss, and the wheels that drew water were broken. It was obvious that it had not been used for a long time. Qianqian pulled Li Weizheng and walked to the edge of the well. She leaned her head down and looked, and then Li Weizheng said mysteriously: "Brother, take a closer look at this well to see what you can find?"

Li Wei was looking at it for a long time. The bottom of the well was pitch black and there was nothing to see. The walls of the well were covered with moss. Some unknown little bugs were squirming in the moss. He didn't notice anything. "Qianqian, what basement is really hidden in this well?"

Qianqian looked again and said, "No wonder you can't see it. It's covered with moss. There was a prominent place on the well wall, and there was a two-foot square iron plate below. Brother Chunshui and I discovered that he had gone down and only pushed open a crack. He said that there was a big black hole inside, very deep, and there was a candlestick at the entrance. We were all afraid that there would be dead people inside, so we dared not go down again, nor did we dare to tell our family members."

"You mean that this basement was not made by your father?"

Qianqian shook her head and said, "My father bought this villa for us and Liu Niang to live in. He could not dig a basement here. It should be left by the owner in front. My father said that the original owner was a businessman."

Li Weizheng stood up straight and looked around the surrounding environment. The well was not far from the west wall. Outside the west wall was a small forest, and to the west was a Taoist temple. So this was probably not a basement, but a secret passage for the owner to escape. Li Weizheng knew that many wealthy families in Linhuai County had such escape secret passages, and the war was over for more than 20 years. It was normal to have such a secret passage. It would be okay to go down and explore it, but now he has no one. Let's explore it again in the future!

"Qianqian, let's talk about this secret passage later!" Li Weizheng saw Gu Yingzheng walking from afar and said with a smile: "Look, my cousin is here to urge us to have a meal, but she is in a hurry to go to see the store."
