Hui Zhi's eyelids jumped.

That earring... Look at the very valuable things at the time, but today during the day, my brother accompanied my sister-in-law back to the door, and there were not many people in Zhuqingyuan who stayed to watch the door......

"This is a big deal, it doesn't make sense that my sister-in-law just got married a few days ago, and something like this happened, and people who don't know think we treated my sister-in-law harshly...... I don't shy away from suspicion, the two maids I brought today, my sister just went to inquire. Hui Zhi first expressed her attitude, with Fang Huiwu, Aman Jiling, these two people will not do such a foolish thing, nor will they be taken advantage of, she is very relieved.

Xia Kun shook her head, "I can trust my sister." Turning his head to look at Xue Qingdao, "Qiu Yun, who stayed at home to guard the door today, and a few second-class little maids, each fined a month's salary, and interrogated where everyone has gone, and who has been here during the day, so I will check quietly first." ”

The maids beside Xia Su still didn't dare to check on the maids brought by Hui Zhi and Ah Man, Hui Zhi pointed her finger and clicked on the maids in her brother's study, "After the rain, Tianqing, you two go to check on Xianfang and Ah Man." ”

Xue Qing and Qiu Yun smiled gratefully, but the smile was a little bitter when they looked at it... The corners of his mouth grinned, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Xia Kun asked Qiuyun to go to the door and ask, "When the prince and I are not at home during the day, who has come to Zhuqingyuan." While comforting Hui Zhi, "The people below are not doing well, so I told my sister to see a joke." ”

Hui Zhi shook her head, "Where is my sister-in-law, when I was still newly married, the earrings I wore on the day of confession were gone... After all, it is not good for the government to be in charge, so it is time to investigate and rectify it carefully. ”

After a while, Yuguo and Tianqing returned to the house with Fang and Aman, and Aman said to Huizhi with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, fortunately, you won't be dishonored." ”

Xia Xuan exhaled softly.

Qiu Yun walked to the door, and Qin Yuan came in with him.

"What's the matter?" Qin Yuan asked Xia Su with a puzzled expression, and before Xia Su could speak, Hui Zhi answered for her, "Sister-in-law brought a pair of filigree lantern pendants on the day of her wedding. Does my brother remember?"

Qin Yuan's old face flushed, "Remember." ”

Of course I do...... He still thought the earrings were interesting, and he brought them to Xia Kun with his own hands.

Hui Zhi said softly, "Xue Qing, sister-in-law's side, counted things today. I found that the pair of earrings were missing, and now I am checking them. ”

Qin Yuan's eyebrows jumped, the pair of earrings Xia Su liked it very much, and remembered that she said...... It seems to be a gift from the elders, and she cherishes it very much. "That's to be checked...... Do you want me to send someone to find it?"

Hui Zhi frowned. "Let's find out who has been here today, and then say, the left and right sides should still be in the house, such a valuable thing...... But just in case, my brother still sent someone to check in the capital to see if anyone had taken such earrings to a pawnshop or gold and silver shop in the past few days. ”

Qin Yuan nodded, walked behind the screen, changed his clothes, and went to the front yard again.

Xia Kun saw Qiu Yun who was standing next to her and was a little helpless, so she asked her, "You went to ask the concierge just now, who has been here today?"

Qiu Yun looked embarrassed," the porter said. Except for the six girls who came to look for their grandmother at night, only the eight girls beside Mrs. Tai came during the day. ”

Xia Kun's heart was terrible.

If the matter is in front of Mrs. Tai, it will not be good.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Kun's wife, "It's a little late today, if the people in the mansion take it away, it will still be in the mansion for a while...... Early tomorrow morning, I will accompany my sister-in-law to my grandmother's place to say goodbye, and my sister-in-law will accompany my grandmother, and I will go to find my eighth sister. ”

Xia Kunwen smiled gratefully, and Hui Zhi was inconvenient to stay, so she was about to leave.

On the way back to Yuhua Pavilion. Xifang was silent, Aman looked puzzled, and Huizhi comforted them as she walked, "Sister-in-law is newly married." Of course, I can't avoid suspicion when something like this happens—I know you won't do such a thing, so I asked someone to check on you first. If you have grievances in your heart, just say it. ”

Ah Man smiled when he heard this: "The maid next to the young grandmother is delicious, and the girl brought back a delicious cake, I see that it is delicious, go back and reward me with a few?"

Hui Zhi smiled. "If you like to eat it, my sister-in-law gave me a box, and I can't use it myself. If you like it, go and ask the people around your sister-in-law how to do it when you have time - as for whether people are willing to teach you, it's your own ability. ”

After speaking, he paused, thought about it, and said, "Leave some dim sum, and go to see my grandmother tomorrow, and bring it over to my two younger sisters to taste fresh." ”

There was still some frowning on the road with Fang, and when she arrived at the Yuhua Pavilion, Hui Zhi only left Xifang to serve her, and asked her, "What's wrong? Look at you've been frowning, but what did you think of?"

Xiefang shook her head, "That's not true, I just don't understand why it's the eighth girl." ”

The seventh girl and the eighth girl, since Aunt Sun in the second room was sent away, have been raised by Mrs. Tai's side. During the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, when Hui Zhi sat with them to dine, she only felt that the two girls had grown taller, the seventh girl and the eighth girl were of the same age, one twelve, one eleven, two little girls like flowers and jade, with vivid eyebrows and eyes, both the second uncle and the gentlemanly elegance of the literati, and the gentleness of Aunt Sun's Jiangnan water town.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Tai is willing to raise them - Mrs. Sun is a girl, she grew up in the water town of Jiangnan, and now that she is older, she looks at the two girls who are like flowers and bones, and she still has Jiangnan gas, so she naturally likes it.

The eight girls are particularly beautiful, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, skin like cream, and they are not very old, but they are already beauties.

Hui Zhi also had doubts in her heart, "The eighth sister was raised by her grandmother...... She should know how to advance and retreat very well, and she has seen a lot of good things, and I don't understand why she would do such a thing. ”

Early the next morning, Hui Zhi and Xia Kun went to Jiamutang to ask Wang for peace and explained the matter, and Wang also frowned and persuaded her, "Maybe it is not a long-sighted subordinate who touched it, in short, it is a precious thing, since it is a gift from the elders, it must not be lost in the house." ”

The Wang family made their attitude clear, and Hui Zhi and Xia Kun felt a little more confident in their hearts.

When the two of them arrived at Fushoutang, Mrs. Sun had just gotten up, and she really wanted to eat, and the seventh and eighth girls were there, and when they saw the two coming hand in hand, several people were surprised in their eyes.

The only difference is that Mrs. Sun and the seventh girl have more surprise in their eyes, while the eighth girl is slowly surprised in their eyes.

Mrs. Tai beckoned, "Hui Zhi, come and sit next to me and eat together." ”

Mrs. Sun had more rules around her, and only called the girl's family to sit beside her, and did not greet the newly married granddaughter-in-law Xia Su.

Xia Kun saluted Mrs. Tai, and sent Hui Zhi to her seat with a natural face, while she cleaned her hands and respectfully prepared vegetables for Mrs. Tai.

Eating silently, sleeping silently, and only the gentle sound of porcelain on the table could be heard during a breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Mrs. Tai waved her hand to the seventh and eighth girls, "Go back and practice calligraphy." I'm going to practice ten today. ”

The two little girls got up and saluted, and after saluting each other with Hui Zhi and Xia Kun, they went out hand in hand.

Mrs. Sun raised her eyelids at Xia Kun and asked Hui Zhidao, "Tell me, what's wrong? )
