After listening to the introduction of the county lord of Rong Zhao, Qi Miao instantly realized.

No wonder he felt that the noble lady was familiar, but it was because Ji Mo was born like his mother.

Shen was busy taking Qi Miao and Qi Zhan to salute Princess Yan of Jin.

"Excuse me." Princess Jin raised her hand lightly.

The moment Qi Miao raised her head, she saw Princess Jin looking at her.

It can be seen that when she looked over, Princess Jin quickly looked away.

For some reason, she faintly felt that Princess Jin looked at her a little strangely.

But soon Qi Miao denied her idea again, thinking that it was just an illusion, after all, she and Princess Jin were just meeting for the first time, and there was no grievance or hatred, but she thought too much.

When appreciating the lotus, the lord of Rong Zhao kept holding Qi Miao's hand, and happily said a lot of good things about her to Princess Jin.

Princess Jin just listened, occasionally hooking the corners of her lips and snorting softly, noncommittal.

The attitude is very detached and indifferent, which is inversely proportional to Rong Zhao's enthusiasm.

Sitting in the carriage back to the house, Shen kept frowning.

She endured it for a long time, but finally didn't hold back, and said to Qi Miao, "Princess Jin is so arrogant and indifferent, her eyes are about to reach the top of her head. ”

"Poof!" Qi Miao smiled, knowing that her mother was annoyed with Princess Jin's attitude towards her.

With the Holy Father in the past, she can accept it now, no matter what attitude others have towards her.

Princess Jin has a noble status, and she can enjoy the lotus together today, but for the sake of the face of Lord Rongzhao, otherwise it will be difficult to even see Princess Jin.

So it's normal for Princess Jin to treat her with that attitude, and she doesn't want to be friends with Princess Jin anyway. It doesn't matter what attitude you have towards her.

"Mother, she is a princess." Qi Miao smiled angrily.

"I know, it's just a casual talk." Shen saw that his daughter's mood was not affected in the slightest. The gloom in my heart has dissipated.

The mother and daughter quickly laughed and changed the subject.

Qi Miao didn't know that at this time, Princess Jin was talking about her with Lord Rong Zhao.

Princess Jin looked at Rong Zhao and asked with a suspicious look on her face, "Rong Zhao, is that Miss Qi Wu who you praised as a flower?" ”

"Yes, Miao'er is the smartest girl I've ever met." Lord Rong Zhao nodded with a smile.

"The posture is mediocre, the family background is mediocre, and the temperament is restrained. It's hard to get into the hall of elegance. Princess Jin's pink lips opened lightly and spit out this sentence.

"I don't like to hear what Sister-in-law Wang said, although Miao'er's appearance is not overwhelming. But also delicate and pretty.

She has a calm temperament, is calm and calm, not arrogant or impatient, far better than those girls of her age in Beijing. If Miao'er is like this, she can't be elegant. So who else can? Lord Rong Zhao immediately argued for Qi Miao unconvinced.

After finishing speaking, he felt puzzled, and glared at Princess Jin viciously, but he didn't roll up his sleeves, slap the table, or kick the stool.

Princess Jin glanced at her lightly and said, "Okay, you're still pregnant, what are you doing when you're angry?" You're really going to treat that girl like a baby, and I didn't see it any better anyway. ”

"Hmph. That's your clumsiness. Rong Zhao rolled his eyes at her.

Princess Jin was not angry, but just sighed softly and said. "In my heart, no girl is as good as Wan'er Yicheng."

Rong Zhao said angrily, "What's the use of her even if she is a fairy, the important thing is that Xiao Jiu likes it." Besides, she doesn't know where she went, maybe she has forgotten about her sister-in-law a long time ago, hum! ”

"Wan'er is a good girl in the world, of course Xiao Jiu likes it, he has to listen to me in this matter. I had a hunch that Wan'er would be back soon. Princess Jin said firmly.

Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, I can only help you get here, how to go and how to choose, it depends on you.

Seeing Princess Jin like this, Lord Rong Zhaojun couldn't help but have a headache, worried about the future of Ji Mo and Qi Miao.

After Qi Miao and the others returned to the house, the Ma family, the Liu family and their group had not returned to the house.

Although there were many people all of a sudden, because of the things drying in the various houses and courtyards, the Hou Mansion not only did not seem deserted, but seemed more lively than usual.

When the masters are not there, the maids and daughters will be less restrained in their work.

As soon as they worked, they talked and laughed, and they were very happy.

Qi Miao returned to Mingyue Pavilion, and Yuexia and Xia Shuang hurriedly stepped forward.

"Miss, look at your sweat, the slave will go and fetch some hot water to wash you." The careful Xia Shuang wiped the sweat on Qi Miao's forehead with a handkerchief and said.

"Okay." Qi Miao smiled and said okay.

The sun is too strong today, and I was sweating when I was enjoying the lotus, and my clothes were already sticking to my body, which was really uncomfortable.

Xia Shuang went to take the little maid to fetch hot water, and Yue Xia went into the inner room to prepare clean clothes for Qi Miao.

"Huh, weird!"

Qi Miao, who was sitting outside drinking tea, heard Yuexia's whisper from inside.

Because of her practice, her ear power is much better than that of ordinary people.

Qi Miao raised her eyebrows, immediately put down the teacup, and quickly stepped into the inner room.

Yuexia stood in front of the dresser, her face a little dazed.

"Sister Yuexia, what's wrong?" Qi Miao asked.

"Miss, it's a little strange, this box slave was obviously in a drawer, but now it's outside." Yuexia hurriedly turned to look at her, and pointed to a box of rouge gouache on the dresser.

"Did you take it out and forget to put it back?" Qi Miao asked, but her heart skipped a beat.

"No, after grooming you early in the morning, the slave put it back, and then after you went out, the slave came in and plastered it, and there was no box on it.

Until you come back now, Miss, the slave and maid have not entered the inner room, and it is impossible to touch this box. Yuexia replied with great certainty.

"When Xia Shuang comes back, let's ask if she took it out and forgot to put it back, and if you look at other things, there are any differences." Qi Miao commanded with calm eyes.

Today, almost all the masters in the mansion are gone, and if you want to do something, it is indeed much more convenient than usual.

Yuexia immediately went to check on the others, and Qi Miao also helped.

She found that the books she had to read before going to bed on weekdays also clearly showed signs of being turned over, and they had been stuck at 48 pages, but now they had turned to 50 pages.

Under normal circumstances, when Yuexia and Xia Shuang helped her pack her things. Never touched her book, for fear of messing up the chapters.

After careful inspection, Yuexia found that the boxes, cabinets, and beds all had traces of being turned over. It's just not obvious, and if you don't look closely, you really won't be discovered.

When Xia Shuang came back with the little maids carrying hot water, Qi Miao called her to the inner room alone.

Yuexia pointed to the box on the dresser and asked Xia Shuang, "This box was taken out by my sister?" ”

Xia Shuang shook her head and asked Yuexia rhetorically. "Didn't you clean up the young lady's room today, I've been watching them dry outside, and I haven't even entered the inner room."

Immediately, she noticed that Qi Miao's expression was a little solemn. Hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Qi Miao frowned and said, "Something in the house has been moved. You all think about it. Who's been in today. ”

"What? How can this be? Xia Shuang was stunned.

She and Yuexia pursed their lips, lowering their eyes and seriously recalling everyone's words and deeds today.

But no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't remember anyone who had ever entered the house.

Because all the maids and daughters in Mingyue Pavilion were brought by Qi Miao from the Shen family, and they all served her when they were in Yanguan, including the rough ones, they were all trusted and powerful, relatively speaking, Yuexia and Xia Shuang's wariness of others was not so strong.

After Qi Miao left the Bright Moon Pavilion today. Xia Shuang ordered someone to close the courtyard door, and no one else came to Mingyue Pavilion all day.

Yuexia and Xia Shuang knelt down in front of Qi Miao and pleaded guilty.

Qi Miao pulled them up. said, "One has a heart and one has no heart, and you can't be blamed for this." ”

"Miss, what should I do now?" Xia Shuang asked, she couldn't wait to find the person who entered the house and rummaged through things, and wanted to tear him into several pieces.

Qi Miaoluo groaned slightly, and said, "Anyway, the thing is not lost, let's pretend not to know about it first, since that person dares to move the first time, maybe there will be a second time, let's wait and see what happens." ”

"Except for the three of us who know about this, don't tell anyone, you should also pay more attention to it on weekdays to see if anyone behaves strangely." Qi Miao admonished again.

"Yes, the slaves know." Yuexia and Xia Shuang nodded hurriedly.

They decided to keep their eyes open from this moment on, and find the man as soon as possible.

Qi Miao put down her thoughts for the time being, went to bathe and change clothes, and then went to Begonia Garden.

No one else can talk about this matter, but you must mention it to your mother, so that her mother can also be vigilant.

Zixiang and Zizhu stood at the door together, and when they saw Qi Miao, the two chuckled and saluted her and opened the curtain for her.

As soon as she entered the room, Qi Miao felt that the atmosphere in the room was also a little wrong.

Mother and Mother Yun didn't know what they were whispering, their faces were a little solemn,

Seeing Qi Miao, they stopped talking.

"Miao'er." Shen raised a smile and beckoned to Qi Miao.

Qi Miao walked over to her mother and sat down.

"I'm tired today, so why don't I lie down for a while." Shen gently stroked his daughter's soft hair and asked with a doting smile.

"Mother, I have something I want to tell you." Qi Miao Zhengse said.

Seeing this, Mother Yun responded with a smile, "It's hot today, the slave maid goes to the kitchen, and asks the cook to add two refreshing side dishes to Mrs. and Miss to dispel the heat." ”

"There's Mama Lao." Shen smiled and nodded.

Yun's mother quickly left the house.

"What's wrong?" Shen Shi looked at Qi Miao, his face full of doubts.

"Mother, there are traces of someone turning over in my house, but I don't know who it is." Qi Miao explained her intention very directly, but her voice was deliberately lowered.

"What? Have you been touched in your house too? Shen's face became more and more solemn.

"Mother, your house is also ......" Qi Miao was also surprised.

"Yes, Fang is talking to Mother Yun about this." Shen said.

"But what's the clue?" Qi Miao hurriedly asked.

Shen shook his head lightly, "If it weren't for Mother Yun's careful heart, I wouldn't have noticed that something had been moved, and if I could do this under the noses of Zizhu and the others without being noticed, it seems that that person's ability is not small." ”

"The man was also very careful, and the traces of the turning were so small that he couldn't find them without looking closely. And what's even more strange is that none of the gold and silver jewelry has been lost, it seems that the person is not interested in gold and silver, but is looking for something else......" Qi Miao analyzed.

Increasingly, she felt that someone was starting to disrupt the idea of the picture.

"Yes......" Shen sighed lightly, his eyes were meaningful, and he probably guessed something.

If there was anything more valuable than gold and silver here, it was the only thing.

It's so precious that it can't be easily found.

Qi Miao lowered her eyes and groaned, and then whispered to her mother for a while.

What they didn't know was that Qi Zhan's house had also been turned over, but he didn't know it.

In this matter, Qi Miao and her mother unanimously decided to pretend not to know and wait and see what happened.

And before Qi Miao went to bed at night, she changed her habit of reading, but took out the deed of sale of all the maids and wives in Mingyue Pavilion and read it carefully.

I watched it for several nights in a row, and I watched it repeatedly and seriously.

Yuexia and Xia Shuang looked at each other, thinking about when their young lady had this hobby and was interested in the deed of sale.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the sun is hanging in the air, dissipating heat as much as possible, and even if there is an ice basin in the house, it is still difficult to dissipate the oppressive heat.

Qi Miao received Ji Mo's first letter.

The letter is very simple, only the words 'everything is safe, take good care of yourself', signed by Ji Mo.

In just one sentence, it contains a lot of emotions, not only to report safety to Qi Miao, so that she doesn't have to worry about him, but also shows concern and unease for her between the lines.

Pinching the thin letter paper, Qi Miao's heart fluctuated, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

She thought about it seriously, then asked Qin Si to help her grind, picked up the pen and began to write a letter.

It took her two days to write the letter.

It's not that I write too much, but I revise it repeatedly before I finally write it.

In the letter, she wrote that the Holy Father was summoned into the palace by Emperor Yuan Cheng, and then went out to relax, he was not at home for the time being, and also wrote about meeting his mother with the lord of Rongzhao County, and said that the capital is very hot now, but the mother prepared a lot of ice cubes early, and the life was very comfortable, there was no major event, it was all trivial, and finally wrote down the word cherished.

Compared with Ji Mo's letter, her letter was obviously much heavier, and she wrote four pieces of paper.

Receiving this letter, Ji Mo held it in his hand as if it was a treasure, looking at the content of the letter, the smile on his lips gradually increased, he didn't want to talk sweetly, he didn't want to swear by the sea, just listen to her gently tell her about her daily life.

Does the fact that she was able to open up to him show him that she was not treating him as an outsider?

Ji Mo thought with some excitement.

He folded the letter carefully, then hid it close to him, and took it out when he had nothing to do.

And Qi Miao inadvertently mentioned that he met his mother, but it made him a little worried, he knew his mother's personality better than anyone else, and he didn't know what his mother's impression of her was, and whether it embarrassed her.

Of course, he wouldn't ask Qi Miao these words, so he wrote to the county lord Rong Zhao, wanting to find out some news from her.

When Rong Zhao received the letter, his eyebrows were twisted.

If she told the truth about Sister-in-law Wang's opinion of Miao'er, she would not let Xiao Jiu run back from the battlefield in a hurry.

Alas!

Rong Zhao sighed, and then picked up the pen and wrote: Don't worry, with me, there is nothing that can't be done. Even if you don't worry about me, don't you still believe Miao'er, she is praised by everyone.

Looking at the letter from the county lord of Rong Zhao, Ji Mo smiled lightly, he chose to believe half of these words.

The battle with Tuyu was more difficult than he imagined.

We must quickly defeat the enemy, and we will be able to return to the capital as soon as possible.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, several things happened in the Hou Mansion of Anning. (To be continued.) )
