Chapter 70: Caught in a Trap

Although Xu Zigui didn't want to help Mo Ziyuan and didn't want to help him, he got up early the next morning and sent Liu Lu to Tianxiangyuan

"It's not good for me to show up, you go and see how the shopkeeper Wang arranges, and come back and say that it's the same as me."

Since Mo Ziyuan left last night, Xu Zigui thought about it all night and couldn't figure out what Mo Ziyuan's intention was to take charge of Tianxiang Garden for him, so he sent Liu Lu, on the one hand, to see Tianxiang Garden, and on the other hand, because Liu Lu knew how to work hard, he wanted Liu Lu to explore the plums of Tianxiang Garden, well, how could Mo Ziyuan think of taking charge of Tianxiang Garden instead of him? Could it be that because he cheated Mo Yiyuan for thousands of taels of silver, he felt that he had business acumen?

"Girl, Madame has sent someone to find you" Just thinking about it, Chunhua came in with the curtain and gave Xu Zi a blessing gift" said that someone came from the palace, brought a few palace maids, and asked the girl to choose the maid herself."

Listening to Chunhua's words, Xu Zigui remembered that her Liuqingyuan would have two more female men with superb martial arts today, and her heart was a little excited, although she was very reluctant at first Mo Ziyuan to arrange these two people to her side, but since she had promised the two of her subordinates last night, it has become an unchangeable fact, and she must always make the best value for herself

Thinking so, he walked in the direction of the main courtyard while holding the hand of the red sleeve, and asked the person who came to deliver the message, "Has grandmother already chosen a good person?" Why aren't you in Liufangzhai? ”

But I saw that the man replied in a concealed manner, "It was ordered by the lady......"

The look that the person covered Xu Zigui did not miss, when the person came to invite Xu Zigui, Xu Zigui was a little suspicious, the Qin family usually sent Wen's mother to find her, no matter how bad it was, it was also Lan Zhi who came over, but this time it was a mother-in-law who Xu Zigui looked at the eyes, although this was the case, Xu Zigui only thought that they had something to do, but he didn't think much about it, and now he saw that the person's eyes were dodging, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, but he really couldn't figure it out, if this person wanted to deceive himself somewhere, this was in his own house, and he was familiar with every road, If she doesn't want to take herself elsewhere, then what is the purpose of this person?

Wait, she said it was ordered by her mother...... This kind of situation is selected with the maid of the mother-in-law, usually in the mother-in-law's yard, the mother has always known etiquette and knows how to measure, and the relationship between the grandmother and the mother has always been good, and there is no suspicion, besides, even if there is really any suspicion, the mother will not do such a thing that makes people grasp the handle, why is it so confused today?

Pretending not to see the dodge in the man's eyes, Xu Zigui quietly patted the hand that was holding his red sleeve and ordered

"Mom, wait a minute, Gui'er Shi just remembered an important matter, bother Mom to wait"

The man seemed to be in a hurry, "What's the matter?" Big girl, hurry up, it's not good to keep the people in the palace waiting for a long time."

didn't say how to let the Qin family wait for a long time, and directly moved the people from the palace out, Xu Zigui frowned, this woman is really not simple, moving people from the palace out, she is really not good because of the temporary petty temperament, she is a little irritable in her heart, but it is not easy to show it on her face, she pretended to be okay and gave the red sleeve hand and patted the mother-in-law's hand and smiled

"Thank you mom for mentioning it, Gui'er didn't expect this to come up" said, turning his head to look at Red Sleeves, a smile on his face, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes to signal Red Sleeves

"A few days ago, I was going to sew a pair of shoes and socks for my grandmother, I thought I would send them to my grandmother in the morning, but I didn't want to be called by my mother early in the morning, and I was in a hurry, but I forgot to bring it out, red sleeves, you went back to the courtyard and brought it to the main courtyard to find me."

Deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of "grandmother", when talking about "grandmother", Xu Zigui's eyes seemed to glance in the direction of the mother-in-law, the red sleeves immediately understood the meaning of Xu Zigui, and saw that Xu Zigui seemed to have an anxious look in his eyes, and he did not dare to delay at the moment, and walked in the direction of Liufangzhai after saluting

"Since the big girl is fine, let the old slave go"

"Hey" Xu Zigui also pretended not to know anything, glanced at the mother-in-law with a smile, took a step back, and asked the mother-in-law to take a step first

This is very inconsistent with etiquette in Da Zhou, ordinary slaves can't walk in front of their masters, but Xu Zigui lacks a sense of security, the center of life is at the back of his head, and there are no eyes in the back, if this person wants to harm himself, let her walk behind him, it is undoubtedly an opportunity for this person to harm himself

And when the mother-in-law saw Xu Zigui like this, she was only young and didn't understand etiquette, and a trace of ridicule flashed in her eyes, "What about the concubine of the Hou Mansion, it's not that she still doesn't understand the rules, and she can't compare to Sister Yun in everything."

Although he thought like this, he didn't show it on his face, nor did he remind him, he just didn't know, so he strode in front of Xu Zigui, so that everyone in the mansion could see how the concubine of the dignified mansion didn't know the etiquette

It's a pity that Nian's mother's abacus was wrong, Xu Zigui wanted to be tolerant and kind to the people in the house, which was quite popular

"What kind of person is the big girl, why don't you see Sister Zidai?"

Seeing that someone stepped forward to talk, it seemed that the person was Qingluo in Xu Ziruo's courtyard, Xu Zigui's eyes lit up, this is really sleepy and send a pillow - just in time

"It's Qingluo, why didn't you wait in front of the third sister?"

"The eldest girl knows that the slave maid is just a second-class maid, and there are several sisters of Beth taking care of her, so how can there be any slave maid," she said, raised the basket in her hand, and said with a smile, "The slave maid is just an errand runner, and she will take food for the girl."

"The third sister hasn't eaten yet?" As he spoke, he glanced at his mother's body in previous years, and said meaningfully, "Why didn't the third sister go to her mother's yard to choose a maid?"

"Are you going to the main courtyard? We haven't gotten news in the courtyard yet" Saying that, Qingluo's eyes darkened, knowing that her girl was a concubine, and she couldn't compare herself with Xu Zi, so she sighed slightly, "Slave, go back and tell the girl."

Xu Zigui knew why Qingluo sighed, knew that Qingluo was a clever person, and knew that Xu Ziruo had promoted Qingluo to a first-class maid and made up for the lack of Yancao, so he nodded with a smile at the moment, and no longer mentioned that Xu Ziruo would go to the main courtyard to choose a maid, and vaguely glanced at Qingluo, laughing and joking

"Go back quickly, don't let the third sister wait in a hurry, thinking that you have eaten all the food in the middle of the course" said, and turned his head to look at Nian's mother, smiling "Mom, let's go"

Hearing Xu Zigui say this, Qingluo noticed Nian's mother, and remembered the meaning of looking at Xu Zigui at her eyes, and slightly understood what Xu Zigui meant, nodded slightly, and curtsied her knees

"The slave and the maid are gone, and the girl is still waiting for the slave."
