The temperature was getting higher and higher, Zhu Nian was busy in Tianxiang Pavilion all morning, her underwear was already soaked with sweat, she felt that her body was sticky and uncomfortable, so she went back to the bamboo garden to bathe and change clothes.

In the afternoon, Zhu Nian came out of the bathtub, changed into new clothes, and sat in front of the vanity mirror and combed his hair by red candles.

And Cai Ning and Fu Yue stood beside her to pick and clean up for her.

In his spare time, Zhu Nian chatted with the three girls.

As they spoke, they talked about Dow.

Fu Yue pouted and complained like a little angry youth: "Hmph, I didn't expect Tao to be released so soon, it's really cheap for her!"

Zhu Nian raised his head and looked at Fuyue and said, "By the way, when it comes to Tao, I think it's a little strange. ”

Red Candle gently combed Zhu Nian's hair, and asked, "Miss, what do you think is strange?"

Zhu Nian frowned and said, "Since Tao and I turned their faces two days ago, according to her temperament, she should have taken some action to retaliate against me, but now she seems to have disappeared, and there is no movement." ”

Cai Ning replied: "Hearing what you said, Miss, I also think Tao is a little strange. ”

Suddenly, Fu Yue shook her hand for a moment, as if she thought of something, and said excitedly towards Zhu Nian: "By the way, Miss, I just remembered one thing when I heard you say this, and I almost forgot about it!"

"What the hell can fit in your little head?" Cai Ning quipped to Fuyue with a smile.

Zhu Nian and Red Candle also looked at Fuyue and laughed.

"Oh, don't laugh! I really have something to say!" Fu Yue's face was hot when everyone looked at her, and she quickly opened the topic.

"Then tell me about it. Zhu Nian said.

"That's the case, I found that recently, Xiaomei in our hospital behaved very strangely, either in a daze or doing something wrong, I asked her what was on her mind, and she always ran away in a panic without saying anything. Fuyue said.

"Xiaomei?" Zhu Nian raised his eyebrows.

"Well, it's a second-class girl in our hospital. Fuyue added.

Suddenly, Cai Ning also interjected: "By the way, Miss yesterday afternoon, you didn't take a slip, didn't I come here, I happened to see Xiaomei coming back from outside before leaving, and she was in a hurry." ”

Cai Ning also mentioned Xiaomei.

She continued: "I thought it was strange at the time, so I went to look for her in the west wing, when she was standing in front of the bed with her back to me, I went up to call her, but she was startled by me, and turned to look at me suddenly, but her hands were behind her back, as if she was hiding something. ”

"Did you see what she was hiding?" asked Red Candle.

Cai Ning shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it deeply, I just felt that this was the privacy of a girl's family, so I didn't ask too much and walked away directly." ”

Zhu Nian frowned tightly and fell into deep thought, for some reason, she always felt that Xiaomei's actions had something to do with Tao.

"Let's keep quiet about this matter for now, I'll try this Xiaomei tomorrow. Zhu Nianchong said to the three of them.

"Good!" replied in unison.

Early the next morning, Fuyue instructed Xiaomei to help Zhu Nian get a basin of washing water.

At the time of a stick of incense, Xiaomei took the washing water to Zhu Nian's inner room and handed the basin to Fuyue.

Zhu Nian is sitting in front of the vanity mirror and choosing jewelry.

When she saw Xiaomei, she asked as if unintentionally, "Your name is Xiaomei?"

"Yes, miss. Xiaomei bowed her head and replied, she was a little weak-hearted.

"I didn't pay much attention to the girls in our yard before, but I didn't expect to have such a bright girl. ”

Miss Xie praised her, but Xiaomei was ashamed. Xiaomei replied in a low voice.

"Huh. Zhu Nian hooked the corners of his lips lightly and continued to ask, "Who else is in your family?"

Zhu Nian felt that since Xiaomei had something on her mind, maybe it was related to her family.

"Miss Hui, my parents died when I was a child, and I have a grandmother at home. ”

"Oh, is your grandmother okay?" asked Zhu Nian.

"Thanks to Miss Miss, my grandmother is well. ”

"Oh, that's good, just tell me what's the problem. Zhu Nian nodded and said.

At the same time, her brain was spinning: what could it be if it wasn't a loved one's problem?

Suddenly, Zhu Nian had a flash of inspiration, and asked Xiaomei with a smile: "Xiaomei, how old are you this year?"

"Autumn will be eighteen. Xiaomei replied.

"Yo, that's a big girl, do you have a favorite man in your heart?" asked Zhu Nian.

Hearing this, Xiaomei's eyes showed a touch of pain, but it was only a flash, fleeting.

But Xiaomei's slightest change still can't escape Zhu Nian's eyes.

Zhu Nian chuckled secretly: Sure enough, it's because of a man!

"If not, why don't I find you a good family, and it won't be in vain for our master and servant. Zhu Nian said.

"No, no need Miss!" Xiaomei shook her head violently, and her reaction was very intense.

Now that he has confirmed the conjecture in his heart, Zhu Nian no longer beats around the bush, and goes straight to the point: "Actually, I have one more thing to ask you, I heard that you have been acting strangely recently, it seems that there is something on your mind?"

Xiaomei couldn't adapt to Zhu Nian's sudden change, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "It's okay." ”

"Is it really okay?" Zhu Nian raised his eyebrows and asked, and then spoke: "If nothing happens, but you make mistakes one after another, what should I do?"

Xiaomei was frightened and trembled, and replied: "I, I know it's wrong, and I will never do it again in the future!"

"That's not good!" Zhu Nian said, "We don't raise useless people in the bamboo garden. Besides—"

She looked at Xiaomei with straight eyes, and didn't let Xiaomei dodge: "I'm a person who can't hold half a cent of sand in my eyes, and I won't give people who make mistakes a second chance!"

Xiaomei trembled and was speechless for a while.

Fuyue finally couldn't stand it anymore, she couldn't help but reprimand Xiaomei loudly: "Xiaomei, why are you so confused! Don't you know how Miss usually treats us? What do you not want to tell Miss!"

"Alright!" Zhu Nian interrupted Fuyue's words loudly and ordered, "Fuyue, you go and get that blessing bag under my pillow." ”

Fuyue pouted and stood still: "Miss!"

"Go!"

"Yes. Fuyue reluctantly walked like a bed, and glanced at Xiaomei: "Hmph!"

Fuyue took the lucky bag, took out a silver ingot from it and handed it to Xiaomei, and said in a weird way: "Here you go!"

"What is this?" Xiaomei was surprised.

Zhu Nian said quietly: "Since you don't want to say it, it must be difficult to tell others, then I won't force you, you can take this silver." ”

"Miss!" Xiaomei was a little moved.

Zhu Nian continued, "I don't know what happened to you, but there must be a place where the silver will be used. Anyway, take the money and use it first. ”

Xiaomei held the silver that Zhu Nian gave her in her hand, and instantly burst into tears and was deeply moved.

She suddenly knelt down and said silently, "Little, miss, I'm sorry for you!"

Zhu Nian curled the corners of her lips lightly, she knew that her intentions had worked for Xiaomei.

She didn't speak, but listened to Xiaomei's explanation.

It turns out that Xiaomei has a sweetheart named Daliang, who is a childhood sweetheart with her and grew up together. The two of them were happy with each other and agreed to get married when Xiaomei was eighteen years old.

But Xiaomei's family has no money, she can't afford to buy a dowry, and she also signed a deed of sale for the Zhu family for many years, and people are not free.

Daliang has no problem and has been waiting for Xiaomei, but Daliang's parents love vanity, they are unwilling to let Xiaomei marry into their own family, and they can't wait, and they want to find another marriage for Daliang.

The order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, Daliang tried various methods, but he could not change his parents' minds, he had to find Xiaomei, apologize to her, and say that he was sorry for her.

"But I don't think you have anything to be sorry for Miss in this matter?" Fu Yue said bluntly and asked her own questions.

Xiaomei lowered her head guiltily and said slowly: "Yes... It's Dow. She came to me about it. ”

Then she told the whole process of being in Shi'an Garden.

"Tao is too much!" Fu Yue said loudly, and then she looked at Xiaomei and said, "You too, why are you so confused, you actually do something to hurt Miss!"

"Forget it. Zhu Nian shook his head and said, "There must be some ulterior secret in Tao's handwriting, and our top priority is to figure out how to solve this trouble." ”

In the end, Zhu Nian not only didn't blame Xiaomei, but also gave her more silver, and promised to return the deed of sale to Xiaomei and let her go to find her lover.

Xiaomei knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, thanking her again and again, she couldn't believe that she could get back the deed of sale.

Zhu Nian sat on the chair and thought for a long time, and finally guessed Dow's intentions, but he didn't dare to be 100% sure.

"Xiaomei, you still need your cooperation to deal with Tao's affairs. Zhu Nian said.

Xiaomei stood aside and nodded: "Miss, even if you open your mouth, even if it is to go to the soup, Xiaomei is willing to do it!"

Xiaomei agreed simply, which was completely different from being in Shi'an Yuan, and she was willing to do it at this time.

Fuyue was instructed by Zhu Nian to give Xiaomei a deed of sale, and when she came back, Zhu Nian had already finished talking to Xiaomei.

Xiaomei excitedly took her deed of sale, thanked Zhu Nian incoherently and left.

Fuyue was very puzzled, she leaned over to Zhu Nian and asked, "Miss, what did you and Xiaomei say?"

Zhu Nian looked out the window with his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Heh, with the way of others, he will also govern his body!"
