Chapter 30: The Showdown

At this time, Yingqi's family was living a small life peacefully. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] It's been a while since Yinzhen left, nothing has changed, and everyone seems to be slowly getting used to it. It's just that when Yinzhen left, he left a private jade Huang and gave it to Zhou Chungui, telling him that if there is anything, just take this jade Huang to a cloth village on Fucheng East Street.

Ying Qi because since there are snow clouds around her, she no longer needs any other help. There is news that the snow cloud will also pass back.

It's early summer in a blink of an eye, and the grapes of Yingqi's family are slowly ripening, especially on the vines where the sun shines more abundantly, which are basically ripe. Song Zhenrui specially sent someone to bring her a box of ice cubes, and Ying Qi was very happy, she could try to make grape shaved ice.

took a little brown sugar water, and there were some preserved fruits in her mother's house, and then selected a few ripe grapes to pick them, dialed the skins, and put a few in the middle of the ice, and put a few on the ice, which still looked very crystal clear.

When the family tasted it in the evening, they all thought it was very delicious, but the price of ice cubes was too high, after all, only the rich and noble enjoyed it.

"Sister, when we have money, we will also build you an ice cave. Fu Yi saw his sister holding ice in her mouth.

In fact, Ying Qi was intoxicated by the feeling of shaved ice in the previous world.

"Thank you, brother, so brother has to work hard. Ying Qi said with a happy smile.

"Hmm. After two years like this, we should build a Xiaoice cave. Zhou Chungui looked at his pair of children with a smile, his son is motivated, his daughter is cute, and she lives a self-sufficient life, such a day is really good.

It's a bit hot these days, and the store isn't very busy. It just so happened that Fang Cailiu invited the little sisters to play at his home, saying that the chef had made a new dish here, and invited everyone to come over and taste it. Xueyun also went with Ying Qi.

Fu Yi went to school, Zhou Chungui went to the village to inspect the fields, and Zhao Yulan was left alone to guard the store.

Two middle-aged women came in and asked for two servings to sit in the store and eat.

"Shopkeeper, you've been selling steamed buns here, the taste is really good, why didn't you think about opening a shop in Fucheng, business should be better." One of them said.

"Thank you Auntie for the compliment, our small business is very good here. The expenses on the Fucheng side are too great. Zhao Yulan said with a smile.

"You're looking at the store alone, don't you have anyone to help? Another person also chimed in.

"It's been a hot day and there aren't a lot of people, so let the children play by themselves, and they can usually help. Zhao Yulan replied.

"It tastes really good, is it a family secret recipe?" The person who spoke before asked for another bun.

"Where, I just figured it out by myself, and it hasn't been open for long. Zhao Yulan smiled modestly.

The two handed each other a color, didn't say anything more, and left after eating.

The next day, the two came again. I still asked for two steamed buns and rice porridge in the store. At this time, Ying Qi and Xue Yun both came out to help, but Zhou Chungui instead set up a fence in the courtyard.

Seeing Ying Qi, the two of them brightened their eyes and greeted Zhao Yulan very familiarly, "Your little daughter, it's so cute." How old. ”

"Oh, it's just a horn, it's still small. Zhao Yulan wrapped steamed buns for her neighbors while holding their questions.

In this way, the two women came to the store every day to eat breakfast, and slowly became very familiar with Zhao Yulan. Zhao Yulan also heard them say that they came from the capital, because the young master had something to do in Fucheng, and they were specially sent by the old lady to take care of the young master, but the young master didn't wait to see them, so he asked them to wait here, and then return together on the return trip.

Zhao Yulan's family naturally heard about some simple things, after all, there are so many neighbors. It's not such a secret thing.

"Fucha guard, has there been any reply from the old lady?" the woman asked a young man in the rented courtyard at this time.

"Mama Qin, it is expected that the reply from there should arrive in two days. "This grandmother is the old lady's most trusted confidant in the past two years, and it is said that she was rewarded by the concubine in the palace three years ago, and she came to take care of the old lady. Fucha Fengxiang didn't dare to slack off at all.

"Well, give it to me as soon as you arrive. Mama Qin felt a little anxious, and it had been another month and a half.

"Yes. Fucha Fengxiang nodded.

On the third day, the letter from Jingli arrived in the hands of Mama Qin. At the same time, twelve guards came with it.

In the letter, he told Mama Qin in detail about the discovery of Beizhuang, and what had been living in Beizhuang was the child of Wuya Bingfeng's personal maid Narcissus. When Bingfeng got married, two personal maids were dowry, one of them was Narcissus, Narcissus later asked Bingfeng to make a room girl for Niu Colu Alinga, and the child was half a month younger than Bingfeng's child. Wu Ya Bingfeng's maids and servants at that time were still living and taking care of them in Beizhuang except for a few far away, and the rest of them walked and rushed in the past few years, and they were basically gone.

And the other big girl, Peony, was gifted back to slavery two years before Bingfeng's death and went home to get married. After checking the roots, the peony is the Sichuan family, and her father and mother sent her to Wuya Mansion because they foresaw the year of the great drought. This return of slavery naturally returned to Sichuan.

A month before Bingfeng's death, Peony had been to the capital, and after Bingfeng's death, half a month later, that is, Miss Duke and Miss Qi went to Beizhuang for only three days, and the Peony family returned to Sichuan. It is said that he left in a carriage early in the morning as soon as the city gate opened, and he took a carriage with its own curtains in the capital, so I don't know who was riding at that time.

That is, it is very likely that Peony took Miss Qi away at that time.

Peony's child Zhou Yingqi is also five years old this year, which is basically the same age as Miss Qi. Judging in this way, combined with Mama Qin's reply, it has been basically determined that Ying Qi is Miss Duke.

What the old lady meant was that Mama Qin could go directly to Zhou Chungui's family for a showdown now. But it must be quiet, not to make too much trouble, and not to let the Niu Co Lu family find out about the movement, after all, it is not yet known why the Niu Co Lu family has such a problem. And Miss Qi has been missing for so long, why haven't I seen any movement in Niu Colu's family.

On the same day, Mama Qin and Mama Zhang came to Zhiweiguan together. At this time, Zhiweiguan happened to be sold in the afternoon, and Zhao Yulan was cleaning up the cage by herself

"Sister Yulan, are you alone?" Mama Qin stepped forward to greet Zhao Yulan.

"Aunt Qin, yes, Sister Qi took Xueyun to the countryside with her father. Yi Wazi is still in the school. Zhao Yulan saw someone coming, and hurriedly came to the store to greet her.

"Sister Yulan, I have something I want to talk to you about, when do you think it will be convenient for you?" Zhao Yulan saw that Mama Qin and the two of them had serious faces.

"What's the matter? I'm probably going to be a little busier. Before Zhao Yulan could finish speaking, Mama Qin shook her hand and interrupted her. "Sister Yulan, do you know a woman named Narcissus?" Zhao Yulan was stunned for a moment.

"I, I'm ......" Zhao Yulan was a little stunned and didn't know how to answer, she had an impulse to close the door immediately.

But in the end, I held back, after all, I always knew that sooner or later there would be this day.
