Zhou Xiaolan glanced at Zhou Xiaofu suspiciously, saw that she looked solemn, and turned her head to look at the crook of her elbow, which was a piece of rubbed soil, inexplicably for a long time, what is going on, his middle coat was worn in the bedroom, and he turned his head to look at the innermost part of his sleep, and saw that the walls around the kang were pasted with thick glass, where was there any dust.

Zhou Xiaolan turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaofu, and saw her shaking her head at herself, so she turned around and put on her clothes.

Zhou Xiaofu had already scanned Ye Xinlan's room, wanting to see what the mother and daughter wanted to do.

Soon, Ye Xinlan's mother and daughter also woke up, and Zhou Xiaoxuan sent the peony out and crawled over to her mother and asked quietly: "Mother, what's the matter, how can I say that the guards caught a thief in black." ”

Ye Xinlan furrowed her delicate eyebrows, and the beautiful skin on her face was not very good because of her sleepiness, so she didn't answer Zhou Xiaoxuan in a hurry, but put on her clothes first in a hurry.

Zhou Xiaoxuan saw that his mother didn't answer, and he was puzzled, so he sat aside with his mouth gagged and watched his mother wearing clothes.

Soon, Ye Xinlan packed up and went to the old lady's room to rest.

The old lady over there is old, she is smoking, and she is much more drowsy than the young man, and this will not be very uncomfortable Mama Cheng got up together to help the old lady wash.

Ye Xinlan hurriedly helped Mama Cheng to serve her aunt to wash up, and when she saw that she had finished washing, she quickly took the tea made by her mother-in-law and handed it over, and then asked with some curiosity: "Auntie, I heard that the concierge caught a man in black?" What's going on, this scares people to death, you're okay. ”

The old lady had just come over in a daze, and she didn't know what was going on in front of her, when she saw her niece being the first to come over to greet her. I suddenly felt that I didn't favor this Xiao Ye in vain on weekdays.

Soon the He family of the big house also brought Zhou Xiaoxi over, and the He family slowed down for a long time before he recovered, He was already a little fatter, this will be poisoned by smoke, and he will fall asleep for too long, and his whole face is a little swollen.

Zhou Xiaoxi walked forward quickly, saluted, and went over to help the old lady pinch her shoulders, and said with concern on her face: "Grandmother, your old man is fine." The mother inhaled a little too much. I just woke up. I woke up and didn't wash up, I'm afraid something will happen to your old man. ”

Ye Xinlan sat on the side and lowered her head and rolled her eyes, this He family also gave birth to such a daughter. Others have no strengths, look at what this daughter said, and suddenly told the reason why He came later than herself, and came over before she washed up.

Ye Xinlan glanced at He, whose face was a little swollen. The corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled, but he was worried all the time. What the hell is going on here.

Soon Mama Cheng entered the hall with a sturdy guard, and on weekdays, these guards always see these young ladies, and they are all guards of the Zhou Mansion, so they don't avoid it so much.

Mama Cheng stepped forward and whispered to the old lady and stood behind.

The guard saluted and stood there waiting for questioning.

The old lady slowly asked a little hoarsely, "What's the matter?" ”

The guard stood and raised his head slightly, saying, "Last night, the little four found a man in black who was blowing smoke into each room, so the little four subdued the man in black. ”

Only then did the old lady wake up. Originally, she was still confused, but she was shocked to sweat, Mama Cheng stepped forward to bring tea, and the old lady took it and took a big sip before she relieved herself: "Have you interrogated?" What the hell is going on? ”

The guard spoke: "The little ones are a little heavy, and this person is still unconscious. ”

The old lady turned her head again and asked Mama Cheng, "Are the people in the yard okay?" ”

Mama Cheng squinted her eyes and bent down respectfully and said, "Return to the old lady." The slaves and maids have inquired just now, and all the young ladies are in their rooms, and there is nothing wrong, but they are all poisoned by smoke, and they are a little unconscious. ”

After hearing this, the old lady nodded and said to the guards standing below: "You did a good job this time, and when you go back, I will show that the master has a lot of rewards." ”

The guard humbly bent down and saluted out of the room.

Ye Xinlan already knew at this time that the person she invited here had failed the task and was arrested, what if she confessed to herself, she thought worriedly, but I heard that this Xiaoyao Pavilion arranges tasks and does tasks alone, who is the customer, and I don't know at all about doing the task.

Letting go of the worries in her heart, Ye Xinlan suddenly turned into a panic and said to the old lady: "Mother, this black man can't have entered our room and blew drugs, right?" What can I do about this, these are all the ladies in the house. ”

The old lady's face changed again and again after hearing this, she finally got in touch with the concubine yesterday, and looked at the concubine affectionately to herself and her granddaughter, this is a precursor to marriage, if there is anything bad to spread out, don't talk about yourself, the reputation of the girl in this house will be damaged.

The old lady's expression became very gloomy, so she turned her head and greeted Mama Cheng and whispered softly, and saw Mama Cheng squinting her already gloomy eyes and nodded, and went out first.

And Zhou Xiaoxi, who was the closest, glanced at her grandmother with an uncertain expression, but her face did not move dark, and continued to step forward to help the old lady continue to pinch her shoulders.

Soon, the old lady nodded to Mama Cheng who came back, and then announced to everyone present: "Let's go back and wash up first, and come over after breakfast. ”

Soon the two ladies also saluted and retired, Zhou Xiaoxi held her mother's arm, He Shi was still confused, and said with some anger in her heart: "This Ye Xinlan only cares about pleasing the old lady at all times." ”

Zhou Xiaoxi looked at her mother who didn't know anything, sighed in her heart and said, "Mother, go back and wash first, and apply a hot towel to your face in a while, and see that your face is swollen." ”

He touched his face nervously and hurried back to the room with his daughter.

Ye Xinlan will return to the room alone, she has thought a lot along the way, according to her aunt's temperament, this man in black will be executed directly if he doesn't ask anything, and he will leave something behind.

But aren't the people in this Xiaoyao Pavilion very powerful, how could they miss, but when they return to the mansion, there should be news over there soon, and if the mission fails, they will arrange the next mission until the guest's request is met.

The corners of Ye Xinlan's mouth curled, she returned to the room with a cold smile, and happily asked Zhang's mother to arrange for someone to fetch water, and she wanted to wash up, and her daughter, who was still lying on the bed, quickly got up and cleaned up, and she was going back to the house in a while.

Zhou Xiaofu had already finished washing up, and Qingmei was helping the ladies comb their hair or something, Zhou Xiaofu finished washing and said to Zining: "Clean up, I'm afraid I'm going back home today." ”

Zhou Xiaobin on the side had already combed his hair, and he was arranging flowers in front of the mirror, and when he heard Zhou Xiaofu say this, he suddenly asked hesitantly: "Fourth sister, what is the matter?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu turned her head to look at Zhou Xiaolan, who was still combing her hair, and said absentmindedly while holding on to her sleeve: "I don't know, I guess my grandmother will say it in a while."

Soon breakfast came, and the people boiled millet and red date porridge, as well as brought hot small flower rolls and pickles, and they were all confused today, so they didn't do any dishes, and everyone was going to order.

Zhou Xiaofu also had a poor appetite today, so she ate six small flower rolls and drank three bowls of porridge before giving up, while Zining came to report: "Ladies and gentlemen, the old lady asked me to go directly to the front hall after breakfast." ”

At this time, the four girls all packed up and put on their big hats and began to walk out, while the people began to tidy up the tables and pack their things.

This courtyard is not big, and soon I saw Ye Xinlan's mother and daughter, as well as He's mother and daughter, who were also walking in front of them with proper jewelry.

By the time she arrived in the front hall, the old lady had already put on a new jujube red gown, her hair was combed smooth, and she had wiped her forehead with a black background embroidered with gold thread, although her face had been wiped with balsam, but her face was still not good, a little gray.

When everyone arrived in the hall, they greeted the old lady together, and sat down on the chairs beside them one after another.

At this time, the old lady took a sip of the cup brought by Mama Cheng, and a smell of ginseng wafted over, and everyone knew that it was afraid that it was boiled ginseng tea, after all, the old lady was fifty-three years old, not young.

After drinking the ginseng tea, I felt that I was in better spirits, and the old lady slowly opened her mouth and said: "Last night, a thief came and blew smoke into everyone's room, which made everyone fall asleep, but this thief doesn't know how to blow it, I suspect that this thief is afraid that he has entered the house, you are all ladies in the house, if such a thing is rumored, it will damage your reputation, so this thing is considered to have never happened." ”

Although the old lady hadn't eased up, her tone was quite stern at this time, she glanced at everyone present, and then said sternly: "No one is allowed to say it, and take care of your subordinates, if I hear the slightest rumor outside that is not conducive to the house, I won't let anyone have a good time." ”

After saying these words, the old lady, who was also very tired, picked up the ginseng tea and drank it again, and said: "Let's go and clean up, you don't have to stay for so many days if something happens, and you will go back to Kyoto in a while." ”

Everyone saluted and went out of the courtyard together, and Zhou Xiaolan stepped forward and stopped Zhou Xiaofu's arm with his arm and blinked, and soon Zhou Xiaofu said clearly: "Second sister, let's go to the thatched house together." ”

Everyone went back, Zhou Xiaolan sent Qingmei to go back to pack her things, don't follow, and Zining followed Zhou Xiaofu and them to the thatched house.

Entering the thatched house together, Zhou Xiaolan said with a stern expression: "Did something happen to the fourth sister last night?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu glanced at her, scanned it around, and then said, "Last night, a thief entered our house and carried you out as me." ”

After all, Zhou Xiaolan was only a fourteen-year-old girl, and when she heard such words, she suddenly grew her mouth in surprise, and she lost her former calmness. (To be continued)
