After being stunned for a long time, Mama Han replied: "It should be written in the booklet for the lady, the splendid son...

"Isn't this over, Mama has something to worry about" Xie Jiang spread his two small hands and explained in a slow voice, "He is a great talent all over the world, I am a child of Shang Mo and Lu, even if he is angry, how can he find me?" Don't you lose your reputation if you're angry with a child? ”

Mama Han opened her mouth and stammered, although she knew that Xie Jiang was a scoundrel, and she really couldn't think of anything to refute for a while, so she took a long breath and bowed her knees and said: "The old slave knows, the old slave retires."

Xie Jiang waved his hand and said, "Mama will rest, tomorrow I will have breakfast and come to the main room, I have something for the splendid son."

Now that many things have been thought out, Mama Han has nothing to say, so she bent her knees again and answered in a low voice.

It was unusually quiet in the Wisteria Courtyard that afternoon.

When it was just dark, Wei Zi came again, and at that time, Xie Jiang was practicing calligraphy in the outer hall, and Hantang led her into the house.

Wei Ziwei said: "The slave has seen the little lady"

When it was dark, he asked the girl to come to the wisteria courtyard, obviously there was something wrong, Xie Jiang put the brush in the blue and white dotted green pen wash, raised his eyes and looked at her and asked: "It's so cold and let you come over, Sister Ah Zhi has something to do."

There were only three people in the hall, Yujing Hantang Beidou, and Wei Zi replied with confidence: "The eldest lady asked the slave maid to come, it was to tell the little lady that she knew・・・・・・ and now the eldest lady has seen the head of the family, and what she said is that set of rhetoric."

When Wei Zi came in the morning, he had specially told him, and at this moment, the old words were brought up again, thinking that there would be a following, Xie Jiang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at her and asked, "How did my uncle deal with Xue Ji?" ”

Thinking of the purpose of Wang Fu's sending someone at night so quickly, obviously surprised this girl, Wei Zi was stunned for a moment before she remembered and replied: "The woman sent to inquire about the news returned... Just a moment after the eldest lady left, the head of the family ordered someone to move Xue Ji to Manfang Garden in the south."

Manfang Garden is not actually a garden, it is a three-room stone house. There were no flowers, not even weeds near the house, but four stone walls high and three moss-covered stone houses. Wang Yan threw Yukihime there, apparently preparing to leave her to fend for herself.

The beauty given by a friend in the same liao, whether it is sold or killed, is embarrassing, so it can only be circled in this way. After thinking through the joints, Xie Jiang asked softly: "Just lock her up・・・・・ Sister Ah Zhi is a little angry."

This sentence does not mean the slightest doubt, but a leisurely affirmation. Wei Zi's face was even more surprised, and he said carefully: "What the little lady guessed was that the eldest lady was a little unhappy in her heart, and she was still arguing in the courtyard just now to go to the main courtyard to see the master of the house, but fortunately, the slaves and maids stopped her."

After this incident, Wang Fu was definitely full of anger, and in this case, Wang Fu would undoubtedly become his punching bag if he went over to make noise. The reprimand is small, maybe the little girl is very reluctant and will be beaten.

Xie Jiang said softly: "You go back and talk to Sister Ah Zhi, just say?" This method is good for everyone, and if you want to come to your uncle, she will make a decision after weighing it, and she will understand."

Wei Zi gave a standard blessing, hung his head and said: "Yes, the slave and maid must say to the eldest lady when they go back, and the slave and maid will retire."

It was still Hantang who sent her out of the courtyard gate, and the two of them came out of the house, Xie Jiang turned his eyes to look at Beidou and asked, "What has the new moon done in the past two days?" ”

After blinking his eyes a few times, Beidou remembered which new moon it was, and hurriedly whispered: "In the past two days, she should have eaten and slept and slept, either chopping wood and carrying water in the bud kitchen or nesting in the room, and the slave maid has not seen her leave the four rooms in the backyard."

The wisteria courtyard is two or three acres large, and there are five or six main houses in front, and there is a narrow passage about seven or eight steps wide between the main house and the stone wall of the neighbor. Passing through the narrow passage is the backyard, with four stone houses in the backyard, two of which are opened up to make a bud kitchen and firewood room, and the other two are lived by Han Mama and four people. Now that the new moon is coming, it is crowded with the Beidou Hantang.

In the backyard less than half an acre, this person held back for two days without moving, Xie Jiang felt that something was wrong. But if you think about it, you can't think about it for a while. Xie Jiang immediately put this matter aside and told the three girls of Yujing and Hantang: "You don't have to pay attention to her in the future, since you came here, she is our person, how do you live your life now, remember?" ”

Yujing, Beidou, and Hantang responded in a low voice, Xie Jiang waved his little hand and said, "Clean it up, Yujing...

It was dark, the north wind swept the fallen leaves, and the house was soaked in the cold. The three little girls shrank back and packed up their pen and ink, because it was time for Yujing to be on duty today, Beidou and Hantang carried the lantern back to the backyard.

After sending two people out, Yujing went to check the courtyard gate again, and only when he saw that the latch was properly latched did he return to the main room. Xie Jiangji took off his shoes and went to the couch, Yujing put the lamp on the desk in front of the window, rubbed his stiff fingers and said, "Look like this, maybe it will snow tomorrow, I don't know when my aunt will come back?" ”

The Cui family has been gone for three days, and when Wei Zi was leaving, he said a word just now, and the servant will return home in the next two days. It was precisely because of the calculation that the Cui family was coming back soon, Xie Jiang hurriedly sent Jiaoyang to Wang Jiu, if the Cui family was there, it would not be so convenient to do things, and secondly, when the housewife was not in the mansion, the child would have an excuse.

Speaking from her heart, Xie Jiang didn't want to involve anyone in the palace, and she naturally wouldn't tell the girls about her calculations in her heart, even if Mama Han was old and fine, she only saw half a scale.

At this time, Yujing suddenly mentioned the Cui family, Xie Jiang put down the book in his hand, looked at her and asked, "Why did you suddenly remember your aunt?" ”

Yujing sat down on the drum stool in front of the couch and explained in a low voice: "The eldest lady's courtyard has already lit a carbon stove, and when the slave maid went to the outer courtyard to receive rice and noodles today, she saw that there was also a carbon basin in the housekeeper's house..."

The implication is naturally that Cui will not forget it.

Neither of them spoke again for a moment. After a while, Xie Jiang whispered: "Tomorrow, you and Beidou will take the silver money to the market, see where there is carbon, and buy some to use back" After a pause at this point, he said, "No matter what is missing in the future, even if you go to buy it, even if your aunt or eldest lady asks, you can only say that it was pulled out by the housekeeper, remember?" ”

Xie Jiang's tone was soft and soft, and there seemed to be a little soft nasal voice, but Yujing couldn't help but calm his face and said, "Yes, the slave has written it down."

"Go and rest, there is no need to serve here" Xie Jiang opened the book again, and when he lowered his eyes to look, he added in a soft voice, "Isn't there a futon in the cabinet, take it out and put it in the outer hall."

After standing for a long time, Yujing Fang responded gently. Early the next morning, Mama Han came to the main room.
