Xiao Li's family and her are separated from the hatred of Kezi and the hatred of killing their mother. Sister Hui talked about an hour, and the two of them talked about the old things that they could take out to stab each other, so they had nothing to talk about, and they were silent.

After about a quarter of an hour, Moqin gestured to her at the door, and Sister Hui immediately got up, said a few words and left. Xiao Li was still lying on the couch with his eyes closed, and waved her hand coldly to signal her to go.

"Fourth wife, you said that these three young ladies came to our Tangyuan for no reason, and they just chatted when they came." When Sister Hui and her party left, the nurse beside Xiao Li couldn't help asking

"Whatever, this girl has a lot of ideas! Let's just guard those two little ones, even if this house turns the sky upside down, we don't care. Xiao Li replied lazily

"Miss, the slave asked, these days the third master is busy with things outside, and the old lady is not very well, the fourth master sees the sky lingering outside, and I heard that he has not returned home for a long time." On the way back, Sister Zai Hui whispered in her ear.

Sister Hui entered the Tang Garden, and then put the ink painting and went around by herself, dragging Xiao Li to talk, just to leave enough time for the ink painting to find out some news.

"What about those aunts in the courtyard, what is the condition?"

If this "mouth" is in Chu Jinli's backyard, then he can't let go of the large number of aunts in his backyard. Xiao Li has always ignored the question, and only let the mother under her strictly discipline according to the rules she has set, and she will definitely not be able to ask anything. It's the ink painting that contacts those girls, and maybe you can get some useful news.

The slave inquired with the girls in the courtyard of the fourth wife, and said that after the fourth master went out last month, he came back and stayed with an aunt surnamed Ren for three or four days, and then went out again. During the period when I came back, I didn't go to the courtyard of the fourth wife, and the aunt next to me didn't seem to go. ”

"Then who is this Aunt Ren?" Sister Hui asked again

"There are many aunts in the courtyard of the four old men, and the slaves and maids are not very clear. I also asked the sister about it at the time, but it wasn't anything unusual. It's just that the aunt is a slave in a small official's house in Beijing, and one day the fourth master went to be a guest, and it happened that this girl was serving, and the first four old men at the banquet came up and gave the girl to the fourth master, and then the fourth master took her back to the house. I heard that Aunt Piaoxian'er was pregnant in the past half a year, but almost all of them were served by this Aunt Ren. The ink painting said slowly.

When Sister Hui heard this, she couldn't help but turn around her mind a few times, but found that she had gained nothing.

"Hongyu, did the young master of your family say anything else?" She couldn't help but ask Hongyu, who was also listening silently

"No, I'm afraid that the young master only faintly got some news, if he knew about it, he would tell the young lady one by one." Ruby replied on the sidelines.

Sister Hui recalled these words a few more times with the words that had just tested Xiao Li's family, and just as soon as she stepped into the leisurely house, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she hurriedly shouted: "Red Jade! ”

"Miss, what's wrong?" Hongyu turned around and stood guard in front of Sister Hui.

"I thought about it."

"Miss, come in and talk." Mo Qin answered Sister Daohui's words, stepped forward and opened the door and whispered.

Sister Hui was shocked, nodded, entered the house, and waited until Moqin closed the door again.

"Miss, the slave will go and bring you a cup of brown rice and red date tea. If you have something, you say it slowly, don't worry, you had a serious illness last time, and your complexion is not very good this winter, so don't hurt the inner house. Mother Wang entered the house and chattered while helping to serve Sister Hui to change into homely clothes.

Sister Hui nodded, watched Wang's mother leave, and took the ink painting before she said to Hongyu: "Today, I casually asked the fourth aunt why the fourth uncle has been out of the house recently. The fourth aunt thought that I was testing the old lady's private treasury, so she sarcastically said that the fourth uncle had obtained a sum of money for the third uncle. I didn't take this to heart, but I felt that what the fourth aunt said was perfunctory to me, and it may not be credible; Second, even if it is true, it is not surprising that the fourth uncle has a seven-grade ceremony with a seal on his body, and there is a precedent before he gets some silver for the third uncle to do things outside. However, Fang Cai Mohua also said that the third uncle had gone out once, and this time happened to be roughly in line with the time when the silver was sent to the capital. You go to find out what day the fourth uncle went out, where he went, and who he met, the more detailed the better. ”

"Yes, miss." Ruby took the order and left.

Hongyu left, Wang's mother's tea had been delivered, and Qiu Ju was also following into the house.

"Where have you been? What's in your hand? Sister Hui saw Qiu Ju following into the house, pointed to the box in her hand and asked.

"Oh, Miss Fang has just come here, saying that she came to talk to you about something. The slave told the fourth lady what you said before you went out, and the fourth lady asked the slave and the maid to go over and get some pastries, saying that it was a wedding cake sent by the uncle of the Kong family. ”

"Uncle Kong is also married, but the brother of the future sister-in-law?" Sister Hui asked in surprise.

I have also heard that the reason why the Kong family has set a ceremony after next year's spring festival is that they are afraid that the uncle of the Kong family has not yet married, but he will marry in a hurry as a younger sister, and it is not good to say. I never thought that the end of the year would catch up.

"Exactly, I heard that she married a young lady from the prefect of Shandong, and her surname seems to be surnamed Jiang."

"Oh, that's a good last name."

Sister Hui followed along, and Mother Wang saw that Sister Hui happened to be drinking brown rice and red date tea, so she opened the box and took out the dim sum inside.

"Hey, miss, this is not our Yizhou brocade box, there are a total of five things, symbolizing a bumper harvest. You see. Wang's mother exclaimed

"Really?" Sister Hui put down the tea bowl and took a look, it was not those snacks in the Yizhou family ceremony.

"Who did you say that Uncle Kong was decided?" Sister Hui turned her head and asked anxiously

"The slave maid didn't know, the fourth lady mentioned that it was surnamed Jiang."

"It can't be such a coincidence!" Sister Hui opened the dim sum box neatly arranged with five different grains, and her eyes couldn't help but be wet and red.

"Miss, but what did the slave say wrong?" Qiu Ju asked in a low voice when she saw this.

The ink painting was also full of puzzlement on the side, "Yes, miss, but what did Qiu Ju say wrong?" ”

Mother Wang explained to Qiu Ju while handing Sister Hui a handkerchief: "It's not that you said anything wrong, it's just that this gift box is a practice in Yizhou, and it was given by the woman, and she also said that her surname is Jiang." When our young lady was in Yizhou, she had a friend who was also surnamed Jiang, and Master Jiang was also an official to the prefect. Miss is afraid that when she heard it, she was very touched, and she couldn't help herself. ”

"Oh, I see. You can ask the slave to ask the fourth lady again, but the slave didn't care at that time, and the fourth lady just said something, and the slave and maid just heard it. Qiu Ju looked at Sister Hui again and asked.

Sister Hui waved her hand, "No need, Ayi said last time that Uncle Jiang is still an official in Yizhou, and it is impossible for him to become the prefect of Shandong all of a sudden, and Sister Xuan should write to me to inform me of such a major event, maybe it is just a coincidence." Besides, Sister Jing is not a person who likes to delve into these things in detail, she may not know the details. Ayi is in Beijing, and tomorrow I will go to the Li Mansion and ask Ayi if you know. ”

"Miss is going to the Li Mansion? But today, the fourth lady said that she would come to you again tomorrow, and you can ask the slave to talk about it. Qiu Ju said again.

"No need, I can guess what she is looking for me, I will go to see her first tomorrow and then go to the Li Mansion."

By the next day, Ruby had not returned. Sister Hui finished breakfast and coped with Zhou's mother's inquiry about Hongyu's whereabouts, and then went to Shoukang Hall.

There were several heavy snowfalls a few days ago, and as the saying goes, "the snow is not cold, but the snow melts". In the past two days, although the sky is clear and the sun is shining, the wind blows people to the bone. The old lady had an old illness, and she couldn't sleep well at night, and in the morning she only routinely asked her most beloved children and grandchildren about their daily routines and let everyone leave.

"The eldest sister seems to be much more melancholy and quiet." Sister Hui and Sister Jing walked behind, looking at Sister Yan and Sister Jing in front of her, and whispered.

"Well, yes, although she was a little arrogant and unpleasant in the past, at least she was at ease. Now like this, I'd rather she be the way she used to be. Sister Jing sighed and said.

Sister Yan'er's face is becoming more and more cold and hard now, and her words are pitiful, even Sister Xian'er and Sister Lian'er often run into ash when they want to pat their ass. It's like she's much less resentful of the old lady, the old lady is not in good health, and when she talks to her, she will still say a few words. However, Sister Hui knows that now that she is like this, no one can help her, and she can only walk out of the horns by herself; If you can't get out, what you encounter in the future is just cause and effect.

"Don't talk about this, I went to look for you yesterday, Qiu Ju said that you were not there, and I was going to find a time to find you again, this is just the right time, anyway, I have nothing to do but go to my yard to talk." Sister Jing pulled Sister Hui and said again.
