After the old lady was not happy, the biggest advantage of Sister Hui was that she didn't have to avoid people's eyes and ears wherever she went. As soon as the minions saw that she was losing power, they paid less attention to her; Second, as long as she doesn't kill people and set fires, the old lady doesn't want to know anything about her. So she took Qiu Ju to the Banyan Garden with a swagger.

When I entered the garden, there was a servant woman who came to greet her, and Sister Yan Daozhu was studying in the boudoir, and the second wife was still at the old lady's place.

Sister Hui nodded, and said directly: "What about the second uncle?" ”

"The second master is at home, and he is reading in the back garden at this time."

"Lead me."

Sister Hui is a little strange at the moment. Now she is the companion of the seventh princess, the princesses in the palace go to school in the second half of the day, and the ladies in the house study on the fifth day of the first half of the month, and the third day of the middle of the month. As soon as I heard that the sisters were in school, it was like taking advantage of a big advantage when I was on vacation when I was studying in my previous life, but others had to go to class.

After thinking like this, he soon arrived at the garden where Chu Jinhui was studying, led the woman who came to bring Sister Hui'er, and turned around and left.

"Second uncle is good Yaxing." Sister Hui smiled and sat in front of Chu Jinhui.

"Girl, try your second aunt's freshly fried tea." Chu Jinhui didn't mind, but he got back to the tea dregs, sandwiched another handful, and brewed a new pot.

"The second aunt is really capable!" Sister Hui took the tea and took a sip, although it is home-cooked tea, the tea fragrance has a long aftertaste, and the flavor is unique, and I can't help but praise it.

"Second uncle, it is said that my niece has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and there is something I want to ask for the second uncle here."

"You say." Chu Jinhui nodded

"I wonder if the second uncle has found out where the uncle is hidden?" Sister Hui tried to ask

"Some eyebrows, but not sure yet." Chu Jinhui frowned

"My niece has a clue here, she just needs a key." Sister Hui lowered her voice and whispered

"Oh? Where is the fifth brother? And what is the key? Chu Jinhui collected the movements in his hand, looked solemn, and asked

"Qiu Ju, come over and explain the whole matter to the fifth uncle."

Chu Jinhui looked at Qiu Ju inexplicably.

Qiu Ju took a step forward, fell to her knees with a thud, bowed down and said, "Second master, the slave maid used to be the maid next to Aunt Qiu, and the fifth master was the old master of the slave maid. ”

"This" Chu Jinhui was shocked, although his hand pointed at Qiu Ju, his eyes were looking at Sister Hui'er.

Sister Hui understood, got up and knelt on the ground: "Second uncle, my niece asks you for guilt, Qiu Ju and Uncle Matter, I knew before, I have not been able to tell each other, and I also want to protect Qiu Ju and Uncle Tong." I also know where my uncle is detained, which is in the Nanzhu forest in the mountain behind Shoukangtang. ”

"It's a wasteland in the middle of the house, and no one has always go, no wonder" Chu Jinhui focused on the place of detention.

Sister Hui was a little unsure of how Chu Jinhui would react to her previous distrustful move. But because last month, he secretly acted to catch Chu Jinzhang's dereliction of duty and inadvertently let the matter surface to cause the current situation, Sister Hui believed it ten out of ten, and now I don't know if it will be too late to confess. But to get the key, you'll need Fahrenheit to do it.

"Last time you disappeared, this girl came to ask me to help find her, and I felt that she was a capable girl, but I didn't want to be able to do it so far." Chu Jinhui sighed.

Sister Hui smiled dryly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Second uncle, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"Get up, you don't have to worry about it. What do you want me to do for you? Chu Jinhui returned to his usual smiling appearance, and waved his hand indifferently

"In the future, we will use the things of the uncle to bring down the old lady at a critical moment, so now the third uncle in the house is too busy to take care of himself, and the old lady is sick in bed is a good opportunity. But Uncle Guan's house has a door made of fine iron, and no one can open it without the old lady's key. The niece was going to let the second aunt take the opportunity to steal the key and come out. ”

"Well, but I'm going to add to this matter, the letters I wrote to your father have not been heard from lately, and I am afraid that the right army has suffered heavy losses, and he is preparing food everywhere. You can convey to your father that after the matter is completed, I will take my aunt out of the house to support the elderly. "The rules at that time were generally not separated, and if the family was separated, the aunt could not follow the concubine, and she had to grow old in the family for the rest of her life, otherwise it would be a slap in the face.

The list of deaths of the right army has not been announced so far, even Chu Jinhui does not know that Chu Jinmin is no longer there, although Sister Hui is often a little depressed after coming back, everyone also thinks that she was calculated by her grandmother before.

Sister Hui nodded in response: "I will tell my father about this, and I believe that my father will agree." The niece once asked the old lady about Qiushuang, and the old lady always liked to put important things in a drawer with a peony pattern at the bottom of the dresser, and there was a red box in it, and no one was allowed to move, and the second aunt could take the opportunity to look for it. ”

"Okay, when it's done, I'll arrange for someone to deliver the key to you." Chu Jinhui nodded in response.

Sister Hui bowed and left with Qiu Ju.

After returning to Youranju, Qiao's mother-in-law led a palace maid from the Seventh Princess's side, saying that the Seventh Princess in the palace had sent a letter asking her to wear a riding costume into the palace three days later. Although Sister Hui had doubts, she thought that the seventh princess was unruly, so she didn't ask too much, so she responded and rewarded the silver and sent the man away.

Sister Hui then listened to the ink painting in the courtyard and said some gossip in the house, just waiting for the news of the Banyan Garden.

"Miss, I heard that the eldest lady is choosing a wife for the eldest young master, and the old lady has not received any news from there, or Mother Zhao overheard the girls chewing their tongues to know that it has been decided, and it is the eldest daughter of the deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, and the old lady was so angry that she called the eldest master to say a lot of cruel words."

It seems that Qiao's is determined not to allow the old lady to participate in her children's family affairs again, no matter how this daughter-in-law is chosen, anyway, without Chu Jinzhang's cooperation, it is impossible to really hide the old lady.

"Then the family affairs are decided, right? When to salute? Sister Hui asked lazily while eating melon seeds

"Hey! Miss is really clever, how do you know that the family matter is decided? The ink painting gave a thumbs up, full of admiration

"Metropolitan Procuratorate! For the current second uncle, it is a good family. Besides, I have seen the eldest lady of the right imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who is a sensible, virtuous and beautiful girl. ”

"The old lady has no choice, I heard that Mother Zhao's medicine was added two more taels at night." The ink painting whispered in Sister Hui'er's ear, smiling.

The corners of Sister Hui'er's mouth also hooked up a faint smile.

said that this family affair is passable, even if it can't go, the old lady is afraid that it will be difficult to interfere in the family affairs of Qiao's children in the future. Because Sister Yan'er was too cheating. She used to be in the palace, listening to the speculation of those noble ladies who were also reading with the princess, saying that the queen might not have taken a fancy to Sister Yan at all, but the emperor had taken a fancy to it, and as a result of the wrestling between the two sides, one person took half a step back and got a side concubine.

Although Sister Hui didn't understand the holy will, she felt that such a guess was not unreasonable, after all, the scene where the queen fainted in public and the five princes politely refused was true. It is impossible to sacrifice her, Sister Yan will be able to be a princess Yong, she thinks that she is not so big, obviously the queen has pitted the old lady.

The old lady's series of mistakes also pitted Sister Yan, and the daughter of the dignified and peaceful concubine was going to be small, and no one could accept it. Sister Hui felt that Qiao's didn't show the old lady arsenic, which could be regarded as filial piety.

"Speaking of the eldest brother, it's really a rarity, although I don't have much contact with him, but it's not bad to me and Brother Xuan, but I really hope to get a good marriage this time."

"Yes, the eldest young master has always been generous, and when the young lady disappeared last month, he went out to look for it in person, and he didn't return until dark. As soon as you came back, you also sent a lot of medicinal herbs here, and the second young master also sent a parrot. Mother Wang also heard this, and couldn't help but interject.

"Mom gave the cherry cake I made to the eldest brother and the second brother." Sister Hui said.

Wang's mother responded with a smile.

"Tomorrow, the eldest sister and the sixth sister don't have to go to school, and tomorrow I will go to play with them." Sister Hui said again.

Sister Hui hasn't been out for almost a month since she came back, and only Sister Jing has come to see her during this period, and everyone has never persuaded her when they see her unhappy. Now as soon as she heard that she was going to take the initiative to go out to have fun, Mo Hua was very interested and automatically took over the work of preparing clothes for her, and Mo Qin was also very happy to prepare her hair and jewelry.

Sister Hui couldn't help but smile when she saw their busy appearance.

"Miss, Miss Fifth has brought you a snack, saying that it is the plum blossom cake made by the second wife, you love to eat it, so I specially sent one." Qiu Ju suddenly entered the door to say goodbye, looking at Sister Hui'er, her eyes were meaningful.

Sister Hui knows that the key is in hand.

"Hurry up and let the fifth sister in."

(The left and right deputy governors of the Ming Dynasty Metropolitan Procuratorate are all three-grade officials, although An Ning Hou is temporarily unlucky, but the foundation of An Ning Hou is still there, Qiao's background is still there, and the future of the Chu family is still there.) In addition, the Metropolitan Public Prosecutor's Office is the highest supervisory body. is very powerful, and it is very important for Chu Jinzhang's current situation that has been repeatedly reported by the imperial history. ）
