Maybe it was Situ Jiao's exclamation that attracted it, or maybe Qingzhu didn't leave at all, so at this moment, Qingzhu, who was said to be a big mouth by Situ Jiao, was looking at the shy Situ Jiao with a resentful gaze on the door frame.

Bai Mei, who was about to give the space to Situ Jiao, turned around and was almost startled by Qingzhu: "You dead girl, do you want to scare me to death, or scare me to death!" ”

"Go, if you want to die, I will die first!" Qingzhu pouted.

"Where do you start?" Bai Mei was stunned by Qingzhu's words, and she didn't understand the meaning of Qingzhu's words at all.

"I'm already!" Qingzhu still held the door frame and made a resentful look, but he glanced at Baimei fiercely.

"Yo, who dares to be angry with our sister Qingzhu?" Situ Jiao put down the wood carving in her hand and looked at Qingzhu with a resentful face on her face.

"Naturally, it's her and ...... You! Qingzhu first pointed at Baimei, and then looked at Situ Jiao with a condemning gaze.

So Bai Mei finally understood the meaning of Qingzhu's sentence "If you want to die, I will die first", she couldn't help but angrily stretched out her jade onion-like finger on Qingzhu's head and said a little angrily: "You, you, fortunately, you are on an errand next to Miss, if you change masters, see who can stand you!" ”

"Since you're here, come here! I know that you are an unbearable person, if you don't let you see this gift today, tomorrow the wind will only be distressed to death! Situ Jiao shook her head and beckoned to Qingzhu.

"What a lovely old man and old woman, they were carved by Yang Shizi himself! I heard the chess who was next to the prince say that Yang Shizi's hands are skillful, what does it look like. Qingzhu took the wood carving in his hand and looked left and right. I can't put it down, but her temperament is not as delicate as Baimei, and I didn't really see the meaning after watching it for a long time.

Bai Mei raised an eyebrow. But he didn't break it, just watched Qingzhu return the wood carving to Situ Jiao, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief like Situ Jiao.

The implicit meaning of this wood carving is better known to fewer people.

Although Bai Mei knew that even if Qingzhu understood the implication of wood carving, she would not spread it.

Qingzhu looks big on weekdays, and he is also very good at finding out news. But he is not a man with many tongues.

Especially for Qingyun Pavilion and Situ Jiao, their mouths are very tight.

As long as Situ Jiao didn't want outsiders to know, it had never been passed out of Qingzhu's mouth. Even the wind made a family relationship with her.

What shouldn't be known to the wind, Qingzhu has never been too talkative.

However, since Qingzhu couldn't see it, Bai Mei felt that there was still no need to deliberately mention it, at least not by her.

Situ Jiao's thoughts are the same as Bai Mei's. She was very glad that Qingzhu did not see the actual meaning of wood carving. He took the wood carving from Qingzhu's hand, put it away in a wooden box, and handed it to Baimei.

Some of Situ Jiao's valuable things are kept by the careful and steady Bai Mei.

Situ Jiao thought of what Yang Lingxiao said to herself before leaving, beckoned to Qingzhu, and then patted the bed under him, and asked Qingzhu to sit down on the edge of the bed: "You look for the wind to find out, and see if you can find out what the saint summoned the marquis into the palace today." But don't force the wind. If you can't find out, it's fine. ”

When it came to serious things, Qingzhu immediately became a lot more serious: "Just now, the slave maid has already asked the wind to inquire about some situations. It is said that the Hou Ye went from entering the palace to leaving the palace. It was almost an hour before and after. When Hou Ye came out of the palace, his face was extremely ugly. After returning to the house, the old lady did not go there, and kept herself in the study, and never even used dinner. ”

The amount of news in this is not small, Situ Jiao slowly savored it, and wanted to sort out some clues from it, but he had not seen Situ Kong in person, so he couldn't determine what the saint summoned Situ Kong into the palace.

After pondering for a long time, Situ Jiao decided to go to the study to investigate.

"Miss, it's not good to go to the outer courtyard at this time." Although Bai Mei followed Situ Jiao's instructions and waited for Situ Jiao to put on again, she still hoped to be able to persuade her.

"What's wrong with being in your own house? Hou Ye hasn't eaten yet, I'm his daughter, so I naturally need to care more. Situ Jiao said while cooperating with Bai Mei's movements to dress herself.

Since he went to the outer study on the grounds of persuading food, it was naturally impossible to go empty-handed, so Situ Jiao looked at Qingzhu and ordered: "Qingzhu, you are fast, go to the kitchen first to prepare some good food for Hou Ye." Don't make it too complicated, just let the kitchen use chicken soup to serve a bowl of noodles to Hou Ye. After the noodles are finished, you go directly from the kitchen to the outer study, and we will meet in the outer study. ”

After calculating the approximate time, it is estimated that Qingzhu is almost there, so Situ Jiao got up and took Baimei to the outer courtyard.

"Miss, where is this going?" Mama Zhang, who was already the chief manager of Qingyun Pavilion, heard the movement and came out to take a look, and when she saw that it was Situ Jiao, she couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"I heard that after my father came back from the palace, he kept him in his study, and he didn't even have dinner. I don't feel comfortable going over and looking. Situ Jiao glanced at Mama Zhang a little shyly.

Mama Zhang is the daughter of Situ Kong's nurse, she almost grew up with Situ Kong, and she has a different kind of affection, hearing Situ Jiao say this, she couldn't help but show joy on her face, and she didn't say anything to stop it, but just reminded Baimei to take care of Situ Jiao, and turned around and let Yulan, who heard the sound, carry a lantern to accompany Situ Jiao.

Situ Jiao pinched the time very accurately, and when they arrived at the outer study, Qingzhu happened to be carrying a food box, accompanied by a little girl from the kitchen carrying a lantern.

Steward Lin, who had been guarding outside the study, saw the lanterns coming from both directions, and at first thought that something was going on in the house, and when the people on both sides met in front of the study, Steward Lin breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing the food box in Qingzhu's hand, Steward Lin showed a relieved smile on his face, it seems that the eldest lady still feels sorry for Master Hou!

"I heard that Daddy hasn't eaten yet, so I'll come over and bring Daddy something to eat." Situ Jiao took the food box from Qingzhu's hand and looked at Steward Lin with a smile, with a slight pleading in his eyes.

Steward Lin just couldn't ask for it, where would he stop Situ Jiao from entering the study.

However, Situ Kong had given an order before entering the study, and no one was allowed to trespass without his consent, so Steward Lin did not want Situ Jiao to enter directly, but stepped forward and knocked on the door of the study carefully.

There was no one in the study who was silent, as if no one was in there at all.

After a while, a hoarse voice came: "Lin Hai, you let everyone retreat, Ben Hou has already rested." ”

Steward Lin's face couldn't help but darken, and he turned to Situ Jiao a little helplessly.

Situ Jiao thought for a while, waved her hand at Bai Mei and the others, and asked everyone to retreat first, leaving only Steward Lin by her side.

Seeing that everyone had retreated to twenty steps away, Situ Jiao stepped forward and knocked on the door of the study again: "Daddy, Jiaojiao asked the kitchen to order you a bowl of noodles." Ouch, it's heavy, Jiaojiao can't even carry it......" (To be continued.) )
