Just as Lin Mei accompanied Mrs. Shu to Nafang Garden in the morning, she was deeply touched after listening to Mrs. Shu's words, but she heard a shocking news before she could change her image in a hurry.

That day, Lin Mei and Shu Zhou and others caught a lot of crickets in Xiaozhu Garden, and after thousands of selections on the second day, Lin Mei finally selected an amber cricket with a long body and strong wings, and was ready to be trained and trained, but unexpectedly Shu Zhou came to tell her that the cricket was dead!

"What about the other crickets?!" Lin Mei grabbed the group swing that dragged the ground and ran over in a hurry, and even her voice was a little out of tune because she was so shocked.

Shu Zhou shook his head heavily, he was fine when he went to the shop this morning, but he didn't expect to come back and find that all the bamboo tubes containing crickets had been opened, if the crickets ran away, it would be nothing, but I don't know who fed those crickets to the Luhua chicken raised in the back kitchen, and when Shu Zhou went, he only saw a few cricket legs and pecked wings.

In Shufu for more than ten years, it is Shu Wangjin's right-hand man, Shu Zhou naturally has a lot of eyes and ears in Shufu, before he inquired, someone came to make a small report, it turned out that these things were done by Qingyan, she was a first-class maid of the Xiuwen Academy, she could come and go freely in other people's rooms, and after these crickets were found in Shu Zhou's house, they were fed to the Luhua chicken raised in the back kitchen.

"Qingyan?" Lin Mei frowned suspiciously, and looked at Shu Zhou puzzled, "Did you offend her?" Otherwise, why would she feed the crickets in your room to the chickens? ”

Shu Zhou suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, so he said that his temper was deliberately offended? Guan will pretend to be clever and behaved, but how can Master Shu and Mrs. Shu really be confused? If he hadn't met a kind-hearted master like his young master, I was afraid that Qing Yan would have been killed a long time ago.

As for the grievances between Qing Yan and Shu Zhou, it was a few days and nights that could not be finished, since Shu Zhou entered the house on the first day they formed a bond, since the next ten years have not been peaceful, Qing Yan forced each other step by step, Shu Zhou tolerated step by step, so that now Qing Yan has directly entered the house to sprinkle.

"The little one has a deep grudge with her, so don't talk about it."

Lin Mei almost jumped up when she heard this, and said angrily, "It's all like this, and it's okay not to say it!" Now that the crickets are gone, do you want Shu Wangjin to be locked up directly until she starves to death?! ”

"Miss Lin, don't worry, the master is absolutely measured in his heart, there will be a chamber of commerce along the coast in more than a month, and the young master will definitely attend, so calculated, at most, the young master will be released the day after tomorrow." Shu Zhou also just remembered this incident when he first went to the shop, every year on September 20, the coastal Los Angeles will hold the largest chamber of commerce in the dynasty, and the Shu family, as an imperial businessman, is the richest family in the dynasty, so naturally he is among the invited.

"Coastal?" Hearing that Shu Wangjin would be released soon, Lin Mei was no longer worried that he would starve to death in the Academy, anyway, Shu Wangjin was alive every time she went, and it seemed that there would be no life safety in the near future, but ......

As soon as she heard the word coastal, Lin Mei looked at Shu Zhou with bright eyes, she only knew that the customs and food on the coastal side were many different from those in Linshan County, but she had never been there, and Linshan County was close to the capital, and even the food was somewhat similar.

Shu Zhou knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw Lin Mei's appearance, so Liang Liang opened his mouth to hit her and said, "It's a long way to Los Angeles, and besides, the young master never takes a woman to do business, so don't think about it." ”

And here, after the Taiye Lake incident a few days ago, as soon as Liu Yufei returned to Zhang's mansion with Luo'er, a maid came to the door, saying that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were invited.

Liu Yufei had to hurriedly change his clothes, freshen up at will, and rushed to Mrs. Zhang's main house, his steps were in a hurry, although he knew that he would be blamed by his aunt, but there was still no trace of panic on his face, and his face was still soft.

Mrs. Zhang gave birth to three sons and one daughter that year, and the only daughter is also the youngest daughter, which is Liu Yufei's mother, and it is also Mrs. Zhang's thirty-seven-year-old daughter.

Even so, when Liu Yufei's mother got married, the dowry was also jaw-dropping to the small households at the gate of the capital, a full 10,000 taels of white flowers and silver, as well as dozens of jewelry and furniture, all converted into 30,000 or 40,000 taels of silver, even if the Ningguo Mansion married her daughter back then, I am afraid that it was only so magnificent!

It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Zhang's three concubines don't like their sister-in-law, especially now that Mrs. Zhang takes Liu Yufei to live in Zhang's house every year, and has the interest to let Mrs. Zhang's youngest son and Liu Yufei set a baby kiss, so scared that Mrs. Zhang hurriedly let all her sons marry, although she was dissatisfied, but in the end it was her own in-laws, so she was full of anger to Liu Yufei, which led to this blind date incident.

Liu Yufei knew that Mrs. Zhang, that is, her eldest aunt Sun, had been dissatisfied with her since she was a child, so every time she came to Zhang's house, she was more tolerant, and she didn't want her grandmother and grandfather to be sad.

When he arrived at the Rongxi Hall where Mrs. Zhang lived, it was already past the time of incense, and as soon as Liu Yufei entered the door, he saluted Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting on a high seat, and then covered her sleeves and sobbed, "Grandmother, please allow me...... Allow the rain to fall into the nuns! ”

Old Madam Zhang's smiling eyebrows and kind eyes were suddenly startled, and even the three concubines of the Sun family who were talking and laughing next to her were stunned and stopped talking.

"What does Yufei mean?" Sun pinched an embroidered handkerchief, and carefully wiped the corner of the mouth that had just sipped the gardenia tea, "You can't mention this kind of thing anymore, lest other people think that our Zhang family has treated you badly......"

Liu Yufei cried when he heard this, and choked up, "Yufei knows that her grandmother and three aunts treat Yufei as her own daughter, but they ...... Tongzhou Governor Ning is so ridiculous, he flirted with the fiancée of the Shu family in the capital on the street, if outsiders know and know that Yufei is discussing marriage with him, then ...... It's better to let Yufei die in the sister-in-law's temple! ”

The expression on Sun's face suddenly froze, she knew what a ridiculous person Ning Tuoshu was, but she didn't expect it to be so ridiculous that even the future young lady of the Shu family dared to flirt, it was really lustful!

Old Madam Zhang's expression was not good when she heard this, she glanced at Sun reproachfully, pulled Liu Yufei to comfort her, and said warmly, "Don't have such thoughts in the future, if you become a sister-in-law, then what do you want me and your grandfather to do?" Ning Tuoshu is absurd, next time my grandmother will help you choose a good one, what is the appearance and morality of my family Yufei is not as good as others? I think the youngest son of the Zhou family is quite good......"

"Mother, but Xiaoxi ...... her" Seeing that Mrs. Zhang mentioned the little young master of the Zhou family, the Sun family couldn't help but get anxious, it was not easy for her to help her youngest daughter fancy the marriage, not to mention, who is the Zhou family? The first of the five marquis mansions, Pingyuan Houfu! Such a glorious marriage, if it weren't for the early death of Miss Fanghua of the Wang family, I am afraid that the little master of the Zhou family would have been married long ago!

"Xiaoxi?" Old Madam Zhang's face was indifferent, and she didn't even look at Sun, "Xiaoxi is only sixteen years old this year, it's still early......"

Sun's eyes suddenly turned red, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were too eccentric! In the past, the sister-in-law gave everything to the sister-in-law when she was at home, and that's it, but the sister-in-law got married, and it finally had nothing to do with Zhang's house, how could I think that the sister-in-law died early, and left a young daughter, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law couldn't wait for their son to marry the orphan girl, but now it's good, the grandson-in-law is not as important as the grandson-in-law!

Liu Yufei will look at the eyes, and singing this play today is just to get rid of his grandmother's desire to marry him, and now he is hated by his eldest aunt, and he will not agree.

"Grandmother, today I met a traveling Taoist priest in that Taiye Lake, originally Yu Fei also didn't believe it, how do you know that the Taoist priest is so powerful, the first half of Yu Fei's life happened clearly, the Taoist priest also said, 'Marriage is determined by heaven, why bother to force it'? Yufei thinks that this Taoist priest is quite right, the matter of marriage is just here, why bother to force it? ”

Liu Yufei's ability to make up nonsense is naturally not weak, and it is a lie when he says it, that is, he has calculated the matter of Mrs. Zhang's faith, so he dares to coax Mrs. Zhang like this.

As soon as these words came out, Old Madam Zhang really believed a little and asked, "It can't be Zhang Tianshi of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, right?" I heard that the Heavenly Master will return to Beijing in a few days......"

Liu Yufei put away the tears and burst into laughter, "Grandmother, when you say this, I also feel a bit like Zhang Tianshi who just came back from traveling......

"Since it's Zhang Tianshi, then don't worry, Zhang Tianshi has always been accurate, and he doesn't help people tell fortunes easily, you can meet Zhang Tianshi on the street this time, it's really fate." Mrs. Zhang sighed a few times, and then let go of the obsession in her heart that had always helped Liu Yufei to get married.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang said that she was tired, and Liu Yufei and the three ladies of Zhang's mansion also took the opportunity to retire to Mrs. Zhang.

After leaving the Rongxi Hall, Sun suddenly looked at Liu Yufei with a fierce face, and now he didn't even bother to pretend, "Since you know so well this time, then keep going like this, otherwise ......"

Liu Yufei passed by with Sun's expression, "Uncle is too worried, Yufei has decided not to marry in this life." ”

"That's the best!" Sun gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Yufei's departing back, and wanted to cut her with a thousand knives, when she married into Zhang's mansion, she was crushed by Liu Yufei's own mother in everything, and now when it comes to her daughter, she still has to let Liu Yufei do everything! How does this make her not hate, how not to resent?!

Liu Yufei pursed his lips and opened his mouth to say something, but finally sighed lightly and walked slowly.
