"Pomegranate, do you remember if there was anyone around Song Niangzi before?" Gu Xiangyi thought about investigating Song Rongyan's old affairs, so he asked.

When Song Rongyan had an accident, the pomegranate was still young, and she didn't remember it deeply, but when it came to the people who served Song Rongyan, she had an impression.

At that time, Mother Ye was the same as the slave maid, taking care of Song Niangzi and the girl, and three or four little maids sprinkled and swept the yard. Pomegranate thought about it carefully: "Mother Ye seems to be Mother Ye's nurse, and later after Song Niangzi went, several little maids were sold, and Mother Ye was also kicked out, and the slave maid was still young at that time, and the eldest grandmother left the slave and maid to take care of the girl." ”

Pomegranate doesn't quite say that. Mother Ye, like Song Rongyan, was supposed to accompany Gu Fei to marry into the Hou Mansion, but at that time, Gu Fei's mother-in-law was very tricky and did not allow her daughter-in-law to bring her mother's family to the house, so Gu Fei had no choice but to leave both of them at her parents' house. Later, after Song Rongyan became the master, Mother Ye served by her side, and the two were very affectionate, like a mother and daughter.

After Song Rongyan's death, the people in the house were afraid that Ye's mother would investigate something wrong with the matter and overturn the case for the Song family, so Fu Zhirong was the main one to kill Ye's mother, but fortunately, Gu Fei came back in time and saved Ye's mother, who had a broken leg.

If you don't have a weak heart, why is everyone else sold, but Mother Ye wants to be killed?

Later, the Gu family drove Mother Ye out, and even Gu Fei didn't know where Mother Ye's mother went, who had broken her leg. Because they were afraid that Gu Fei would find out the cause of Song's death, Fu and the others took advantage of Gu Fei's absence to drive Mother Ye out, and no one knew where she was, let alone Gu Fei, even Fu Zhirong couldn't find it herself.

At the moment, it seems that Mother Ye must know a lot of things, if she is still in the world, then she must find it.

Gu Xiangyi suddenly came to his senses, sat up with a bone, held the teacup and asked, "If you are allowed to see Mother Ye now, will you still recognize it?"

Pomegranate thought for a moment and replied, "As long as the appearance is not ruined, the slave and maid will definitely be able to recognize it." ”

Mother Ye once took care of her when she was young, she was a child at that time, and when she thought about her mother at night, she would hold Mother Ye to sleep, the love was so deep, how could she not recognize it after a few years?

When Xiao Jingyao and Jiang Yan came to see Gu Xiangyi again, she informed Xiao Jingyao of the matter and asked him to help investigate.

"If I say this, I remember it a little. Xiao Jingyao pondered for a while and said: "After Aunt Song was wronged for fornication, I investigated, and the gossip was the eldest lady's dowry Luo Rong, as for the death of Mrs. Song, there is no clue at all." ”

"No, that Mother Ye must know something. Gu Xiangyi looked at Xiao Jingyao and said, "If she is still in the capital, it will be easy to do it, you can help me find it, I want to see her." ”

"Good. ”

Housekeeper Luo Rong, this person Gu Xiangyi has a slight impression.

The next day, the weather was a little cloudy, Gu Xiangyi looked up at the sky, and asked Pomegranate, "This month's case silver hasn't been delivered yet, right?"

Pomegranate looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Her girls have no case of silver, they have long been deducted, and there is not much broken silver every year, and two hangs of money are enough for them to chew for several months.

Knowing why Pomegranate didn't speak, Gu Xiangyi said, "Let's go and meet that big housekeeper Luo." ”

In the room, Luo Rong's face was not blushing or white, and he put Gu Xiangyi's case silver into his pocket, sipped the tea on the saucer, and poured it on the recliner.

This butler is really comfortable. My uncle has a lot of things, so I can't stare at him all day long, and I trust him very much. And he was promoted by the eldest lady, and it can be regarded as a no-nonsense in this family, looking for money on weekdays, no, he only accepted a beautiful concubine last month, that girl is young and beautiful, not to mention more to his taste.

The chaise longue shook and shook from time to time, and he was drowsy.

Gu Xiangyi walked in quickly with a pomegranate, and a small servant stopped her, and she was speechless when she stared at her.

"Steward Luo. Gu Xiangyi shouted softly.

Luo Rong suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the courtyard, and saw Gu Xiangyi stepping in, with a slender figure and a beautiful face, which was even more flavorful than the beautiful concubine of Xinna. This made a man in his thirties suddenly feel a little uncontrollable, unnaturally crossed Erlang's legs, and asked with a smile: "Why is the sixth girl here?"

Gu Xiangyi pretended not to see the color in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "My case silver has not been distributed this month, so I thought about coming over to see if it was Steward Luo who forgot more things here, or which slave bullied the master who swallowed my case silver." ”

These words made Luo Rong look stunned, then smiled, reached out and took out the silver taels from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Here! The sixth girl is really beautiful and kind-hearted, and it is not easy to understand the slaves, so she came to pick it up in person." ”

Usually he didn't send a case of silver to He Yinju, why didn't he see her come to ask for it? Now he dares to come, and it is really as others say, he escaped death and came back to change his personality.

Sending the silver two with his own hands, Luo Rong stared at Gu Xiangyi's delicate and tender hand, and couldn't help but want to grasp it tightly in his hand. But the other party didn't answer for a long time, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Trouble Steward Luo to send the example silver to He Yinju, next time I hope not to toss me again and come over in person." ”

This arrogant tone made Luo Rong very surprised, and he stood in place in a daze, his outstretched hand embarrassed in mid-air.

"The sixth girl is really sharp now. Luo Rong scolded Gu Xiangyi for tens of millions of sentences in his heart, and quietly put the silver two back into his pocket, and said unforgivingly: "The sixth girl didn't have this kind of character before, and we don't know whose power this is borrowed." ”

I thought that Gu Xiangyi would not reply to her mouth, but the people said generously: "Naturally, it is Aunt Meng's care, if Steward Luo has questions, why don't you go to her next time and ask her in person?"

"No, no, no, the minions don't dare. ”

Gu Xiangyi looked at the man with a lewd face, and asked in a gloomy tone, "I wonder if Steward Luo still remembers Mother Ye, who used to serve Song Niangzi?"

This name flashed in his ears, like thunder striking Luo Rong, making him stand still and remain motionless.

Gu Xiangyi asked again: "Does Steward Luo know, where is that Mother Ye now?"

"The girl laughed, Mother Ye is an old man in our house, she made a mistake and was kicked out, how can the slave know where she is. Luo Rong replied weakly.

Mother Ye has not been mentioned for many years, and it is like an open secret in this house, everyone knows something, but everyone doesn't say it, pretending to know nothing.

What did this girl in front of her say about the old man? She wanted to investigate the matter of her own mother? This thought existed in Luo Rong's heart, and after Gu Xiangyi left, he rushed to Huanxiang Yuan non-stop.

Fu Zhirong has been working hard for Gu Ruoyi's business recently, and it was when she was anxious that her eyes widened when she heard Luo Rong's words, and she said in disbelief: "That dead girl really asked that?"

Luo Rong nodded.

"After all these years, the dead girl still remembers the old woman, I'm afraid it's not good. Fu Zhirong looked to the side, and couldn't sit still for a while: "Since she inquired about Mother Ye, she must have investigated it, she would have killed her if she knew it, and it would have made me uncomfortable to walk the streets and alleys outside with such a big piece of evidence!"

Zhou's mother persuaded: "Don't worry, eldest lady! How many years has the surname Ye not been heard from? Your mother's family has been searching for her whereabouts all these years and can't find it, and the sixth girl has no money and power, and she can't find her even if she is tired." Besides, the surname Ye broke a leg when he left home, and it is not certain whether he is dead or alive now, maybe he will die a long time ago, or he may have left the capital. ”

But these words did not make Fu Zhirong completely reassured.

"Tell my mother, send people all over the capital to look for her, and if she finds her, she will be killed, and you must not let the dead girl find her first. ”

The Fu family is just a businessman's family, and no matter how many connections there are, it is useless, it is not as easy as Xiao Jingyao, a secret person like Xiao Jingyao.

Two days later, it rained again, the weather was much better, and Gu Xiangyi took the pomegranate to the door of Pei's house again.

When Pei Qingxue heard that Gu Xiangyi was coming, she hurriedly put down the things in her hand and said to the maid, "Ask if you are going to my mother's, and I will go over." ”

Out of politeness and respect, Gu Xiangyi naturally went to the place where Gu Fei was when he arrived at the Heyong Marquis Mansion. Pei Yan was also there, and he had just had lunch with Gu Fei.

The soup made of more than three catties of large carp, and the tofu is made with thick roasted red sauce, which is especially good for rice. Pei Yan ate more than half a bowl than usual, and he was still asking for another half bowl.

The doorman came to report that Gu Xiangyi was coming, and Gu Fei persuaded with a smile: "Don't eat it, let Sister Xiang see it, I'm afraid I want to laugh at my uncle's ability to eat." ”

Pei Yan smiled casually: "Sister Xiang is not the person who doesn't know how to be polite, if you want to laugh, you can laugh a few times, I'm not afraid." ”

Gu Xiangyi saluted the two, and the first thing he did was to hand over the small basket in his hand. The basket is filled with the yellow and clear apricots on the Gu family's apricot tree, and the apricots at this time have just riveted, which is slightly sour and sweet and delicious.

Gu Fei and Pei Yan didn't know that Gu Xiangyi's pocket was cleaner than her face, and seeing her hand over the apricots, she had already expressed her filial piety, even if she wanted to buy something delicate and ingenious, she had to be rich.

Pei Qingxue Shi Ran came in from the outside and said with a smile: "I smelled the fragrance of apricots before I entered the door, was it brought by Xiangyi?"

Gu Fei said: "Hurry up and let people wash it, the second brother's family has the most delicious temperament, and you juniors eat more." ”

After a while, the apricots were washed and brought up in a tray with water droplets. Pei Yan picked one up and tasted it, he frowned when he took the first sour, but the second sour taste was poor, and the more he ate, the sweeter it became.

"When you go out today, it's okay for your second aunt to be for you, right?" Pei Qingxue asked.

Gu Xiangyi shook her head lightly: "Now that my mother is busy with the affairs of the third sister, where can I have time to worry about me." ”

The Pei family naturally heard about Gu Ruoyi, but they didn't know it comprehensively, among them, Fu's calculation of Gu Xiangyi was hidden in the courtyard of the Bofu, and no one dared to tell Gu Fei.
