Chapter 33: The Thief

Hu Xiaoqiu is from a local family in Yuzhou, and when she was a girl in her mother's family, she was arrogant, and later married someone and her husband was promoted to the general judgment of Yuzhou, and she was even more arrogant, and from time to time she had to turn into a tigress, shaking her majesty in front of the wives of officials who were lower than her husband.

And Mrs. Bai Li Xian'e, although she is an outsider, she is also a straightforward and unangry character, so the first time she saw Hu Xiaoqiu at a party, she only made a greeting gift, and did not hold her respectfully like others, but she was hated by Hu Xiaoqiu, who likes the stars to hold the moon, and later learned that she had a crazy and stupid daughter, and she was even more proud, and she had to jump out from time to time to take a look.

In the past, her daughter was really crazy and stupid, and Mrs. Bai didn't have the heart to make trouble for her husband by going against her, but now that her daughter is better, smart and smart, Mrs. Bai naturally can't let Hu Xiaoqiu do it as unconfidently as before.

Therefore, after knowing each other for so many years, this is the first time that Mrs. Bai has seen Hu Xiaoqiu salute her in a proper manner, and apologize to her in a good voice, although she also knows that the tigress may want to tear her apart in her heart.

But she is not such a blind person, no matter what Hu Xiaoqiu thinks in her heart, for the sake of her husband, she also accepted this gift, and the two can be regarded as reaching a face-saving reconciliation.

When she sent people out, she heard that Huang Tongju was trying to show her sincerity, and she heard that Huan Niang was sick and asked for a doctor, and she deliberately took Hu Xiaoqiu to wait in the flower hall in the front yard for a while, until the doctor left, which alarmed her.

This made her feel uneasy.

To say that Hu Xiaoqiu was scolded by Huang Tong and had to apologize to her, this is reasonable, but the Huang family's posture is too low, right?

If something is abnormal, it is a demon, but Mrs. Bai will never believe that Hu Xiaoqiu, a shrew, can wake up and be good from now on when she is scolded by her husband.

At this time, she went to the barracks, and Bai Bingxiong, who had been busy all day, asked about it, and Bai Bingxiong could give her an explanation.

"I inquired today, and I vaguely heard that it seems that you met Mrs. Feng of the Tongzhi family together yesterday, and she didn't know what she said when she went back, and Feng Tongzhi personally came forward to mention Huang Tong's judgment. ”

Bai Bingxiong couldn't personally give his wife and daughter this bad breath, and he also felt puzzled.

Mrs. Bai turned her face and thought, "Mrs. Feng of the Feng Tongzhi family, the Wang family was present yesterday, and she helped me stop Hu Xiaoqiu a few times, but she doesn't have any great friendship with me, can she stand up for me like this?"

Bai Bingxiong was impatient to think about the twists and turns between these women: "People helped us, Ming'er, let's go over to express our gratitude, won't we know everything?" In short, I still have no ability, I can't get involved, let you follow me and be wronged!"

Bai Bingxiong, a rough man, rarely said such a frustrating thing, which made Mrs. Bai not want to be entangled on this issue anymore, and hurriedly pushed him to wash and rest: "Okay, okay, what do you say so, I didn't complain about you...... Xie is definitely going to thank you, but from now on, everyone knows that our family owes the Wang family a great favor!"

"If you owe it, you owe it, and you will have the opportunity to pay it back later. ”

Bai Bingxiong muttered, but Mrs. Bai didn't understand what she meant when she saw this wooden lump, and she was depressed for a while, and she sat under the lamp and thought for a long time.

Yuzhou is located in the northwest of the Central Plains, not prosperous, but there are many large and small officials, Mrs. Bai is not a matter of one or two days in the wife's circle, she naturally knows that this kind of thing is more and more affectionate, you come and go is the best, but this inexplicably a big favor smashed on the head, no one will inevitably think about it.

When Bai Bingxiong came back after washing up, he couldn't help but wonder when he saw that she was still thinking under the lamp: "What the hell are you thinking?"

Mrs. Bai came back to her senses and did not continue the previous incident, but re-mentioned another matter: "That He Qi came to you several times to find you, you have to remember, no matter how he stalks, he is not allowed to join the army!"

Bai Bingxiong rubbed his chin and hesitated: "He Qi, this kid is good, how good would he be if he were our son......"

Mrs. Bai was angry: "What's the use of being good, you know that you are in trouble, don't you also say that the arm of the county commander Song Sanlang can't be saved?

"yes, I see. ”

Bai Bingxiong lifted the quilt and went to bed, but he didn't say it with some doubts in his heart.

He didn't see Song Sanlang's injury with his own eyes, it is said that the injury is serious, he should quickly find a doctor for treatment, even if there is no good doctor in Hongnong County, there are always other places in Yuzhou, right?

But this is not something he wants to worry about, what he wants to worry about is the disposal of those soldiers.

With all kinds of worries, neither husband nor wife can sleep well.

But the Bai family's night, the most worried thing was Xiaoqing, who slept on the pedal in front of the bed in the east chamber.

She stared at the pile of long and short pieces of wood in the corner of the bed, and then looked at the eldest lady who slept extremely peacefully, almost all night in a daze.

It wasn't until a scream pierced the sky above the Bai family's house in the early morning that Xiaoqing woke up with a cold shiver, and was about to rush out of the door, but stopped in front of the door, standing dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

After a while, the door of the main courtyard opened, and a middle-aged servant woman crawled in and fell at the feet of Mrs. Bai, who had already heard the sound and went out: "Mrs., Mrs., our house has entered the thief!"

"What did you lose?" Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that such a thing as theft would appear in the Bai family.

The servant woman raised her head: "Lost, lost a rolling pin, the slave and maid were about to bake a flatbread, but the rolling pin could not be found!"

Xiao Qing in the door shuddered when she heard this, and when she looked back, she saw that her young lady had already gotten up and sat on the edge of the bed, a pair of jade was enough to tiptoe and kick the pair of wood in the corner of the bed, as if she was smiling.

"Take it out and give it back to her. She said.

Xiaoqing was originally worried about the strange behavior of the eldest lady, and she didn't put such a rolling pin in her eyes, but at this moment, the courtyard was shouting that there was a thief, and she handed these over, can she tell clearly?

She was stunned for a while, and Xu Chenghuan had already raised two white fingers.

"The second time. Xiaoqing, do you know that there is a saying that there are no more than three things?"

Xiaoqing trembled, smart and clever like of course she knew.

In the courtyard, Mrs. Bai looked at the servant woman and frowned: "Are you sure you are a thief?

The servant woman was also puzzled by the second monk: "Yes, madam, the thief didn't even steal a big cake......

As he was talking, he heard a "squeak", the door of the east chamber opened, and a maid wearing a blue satin jacket walked out, holding a pile of wood in her hand, and blushed timidly: "Yes, it was the slave who took the rolling pin from the kitchen......
