Not long after, under the darkness of the night, Ziyan led a servant woman to hurriedly enter the house through the back door, and soon entered the agarwood courtyard.

Ziyan led the person outside the hall and told her to wait outside the door, and she went in to report: "Miss, Wang Da Mao's family is here?"

"Call her in. ”

The fourth lady sat on the couch, and the brazier was lit in the room, which was as warm as spring in this cold night. She looked up and saw a thin servant woman in her early thirties.

A servant like Wang Damao's family generally only listens to errands in the outer courtyard and cannot enter the inner courtyard. This is also the first time that Wang Damao's family has entered the inner house, she looks very restrained, her eyes don't dare to look around, she honestly hangs her head, stands in place, and keeps rubbing the corners of her clothes.

"Are you Wang Damao's family?" the fourth lady asked, thinking, it seems that this person is honest and unlikable, no wonder the second room doesn't like it.

Wang Damaojia nodded, still not daring to say a word.

The fourth lady sighed slightly, it seems that this is not only honest, but also wooden, and she doesn't like it. If it weren't for the fact that this person had something to do, she wouldn't like this kind of honest person.

But now the situation is different, she needs this kind of person, this kind of person is honest, and his tone must be tight. Moreover, as long as you give her a few words of praise and a little benefit, this kind of person will always remember your good and honestly run errands for you.

"Who else is in your family?" asked Miss Gu Si, her tone was calm, and her face was full of kindness and peace that only an old lady can have.

Ziyan was taken aback by her own young lady's tone, and she looked at her young lady in some surprise. Some can't believe their ears.

Since when did the young lady of her own family change her temper and become so approachable to an inferior servant?

The fourth lady ignored Ziyan's surprise. still looked at Wang Da Mao's family in front of him calmly.

Wang Da Mao's family was obviously also shocked, and raised his head and looked at Miss Gu Si in disbelief.

She was in the outer courtyard, and she heard the servants below often say that the fourth lady in this house was very shrewd and spicy, and ordinary people did not dare to provoke her. And she showed favor to the second room this time, but there was really no way to come up with a strategy.

The fourth lady smiled slightly: "You don't have to be nervous. Just talk as you normally would. ”

Having said that, how dare Wang Da Mao be so presumptuous as he usually speaks? After glancing at the fourth young lady, he quickly lowered his head. He whispered: "The slave maid has an elderly mother-in-law and two children. The head of the slave's family was originally in a hurry to deliver goods, but not long ago the horse was sick and could not transport the goods. I've been idle at home......"

The fourth lady nodded. In fact, she knows all these situations, she needs a person who is idle at home now, if she doesn't even know this, what is she going to do with Wang Damao's family?

The fourth lady looked at her and said, "After you go back, discuss it with Wang Damao, and say that I will hire him and his carriage to help me do things." As for the cost of this employment, it is negotiable. Ask him if he would like to. ”

Wang Damao's family was worried about the lack of work to do in charge of the family for a while, and I heard what the fourth lady said. Immediately, he nodded his head as if a chicken pecked rice: "The slave and the maid are willing, and the slave and the maid will go back and tell my master." ”

"Well, you can go back and discuss with your boss now, and I will hear a reply early tomorrow morning. The fourth lady said.

Wang Damao's family couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the fourth lady, and took Ziyan out of the back door, and hurriedly went home to discuss.

Ziyan folded back, and saw that the fourth lady was already a little sleepy, so she hurriedly laid out the futon, waited for her to sleep, and asked thoughtfully: "Why did the young lady think of hiring Wang Damao for no reason?"

The fourth lady changed to a comfortable posture and lay down: "Have you forgotten Gu Xiaowu's strange behavior these days? Those few courtyards, I think there must be something strange, otherwise, Gu Xiaowu would not let his girl go to investigate." Therefore, I think, since this is the case, if we want to uncover this mystery, then it would be good to follow the people on Gu Xiaowu's side, and it would save a lot of effort. If I'm not mistaken, this must have something to do with the disappearance of the Great Master. ”

Ziyan immediately understood: "Miss, what do you mean is to hire Wang Damao and let him follow the people on the fifth lady's side, grasp the opportunity first, make careful arrangements, find the eldest master first, and then report to the old lady." ”

The fourth lady nodded.

In fact, she still has a plan that she hasn't said, that is, she feels that the disappearance of the eldest lord this time is really not simple, the eldest lord has never tried not to return home, and now several days have passed, and there is still no shadow of the eldest master. According to the temperament of the eldest master, he definitely refused to live at a friend's house for so long, and he could not return home for such a long time, which shows that he must have a stumbling block outside.

However, these things are unconfirmed, and she is not easy to say. If it was really as she expected, it would be another sharp weapon to attack the eldest lady.

Where did Ziyan know that Miss Gu Si had so many little Jiujiu in her heart, and thought that her own young lady wanted to overwhelm Fifth Miss, so she found the eldest master first, and then asked the old lady for credit, so as to offset her sin of destroying the lacquer plate worth 10,000 taels of silver in her room. So he said: "Miss, you can relax, the slave and maid saw that Wang Da Mao listened to your proposal, and was as happy as something, so the slave guessed that tomorrow at dawn, the Wang Da Mao family will lead her to the head of the house, and ask to see Miss." ”

"That's for the best. Miss Gu Si slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Things were really as Ziyan expected, the next morning, before the fourth lady got up, someone came to the rumor Wang Damao's house to ask to see.

Ziyan followed the instructions of the fourth young lady and went out to Wang Damao's family and said: "Our young lady said it, you promise it, if you can't see it, you can save it." What should be done, what should be paid, our young lady has written it all on this letter. Report once a day in the evening, no matter what news you find, you can write it on a slip of paper and hand it in. Also, things are secret, and you must not leak the rumors. ”

Wang Damao and his daughter-in-law looked at the fifty taels of silver that Ziyan handed to them, and immediately they were so happy that they almost danced with their hands, thanked them a thousand times, and swore a promise, and then left happily.

Ziyan returned to the courtyard and saw that the fourth lady had finished freshening up, and Shen Gui was waiting for her to have breakfast. She stepped forward and said, "The slave and maid have made everything clear to Wang Damao's family, and the letter has been given to them." Wang Damao said, everything is done according to Miss's instructions, please rest assured. ”

The fourth lady smiled and said, "What do I have to worry about, the most worrying thing now should be on their side." ”

Yanagi-in-in.

"Miss, found it, found it!" As soon as he entered his yard, Lu Shui couldn't suppress his excitement and shouted.

Mingyue grabbed her: "How many times have I told you, don't always be frizzy, you just don't listen! You keep shouting to find what you found, what did you find?"

In the past few days, several of them have taken turns to monitor the gates of the courtyards of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, and Lu Shui is in charge of one of the other courtyards that has been leased out.

Lu Shui approached and said a few words in Mingyue's ear, Mingyue's eyes widened instantly, and the person laughed excitedly: "Hurry up, tell Miss this good news, Miss Fang Cai is still talking about it." ”

"Okay!" Green Water jumped three times and headed towards the study. (To be continued.) )
