Nie Shuyao's face was embarrassed, she said that she showed her mouth again, and hurriedly coughed and said, "Yuqin, I just found out that you are also very good at acting." Are the buns really that delicious? ”

The smile on Yuqin's face suddenly froze, and she squeaked, "Aren't I trying to help Miss?" Thinking about it, with Shen Xiangshi's cleverness, he must know that Miss can help him. ”

“……。” Nie Shuyao was speechless and just looked at her.

"Well, the buns are still outside, I'll bring them hot. By the way, let's see how Aunt Wu Niang is. Yuqin slipped away with a weak heart.

Nie Shuyao shook her head slightly with a smile on the corner of her mouth, after half a year of getting along, Yuqin is actually a very lively little girl who loves to learn. The scene of buying buns today is enough to see that she is still very good at learning and applying, and over time, she and Hutou will definitely be able to become her and Xi'er's right and left hands.

In the front store, Wu Niang and Sister-in-law Du chatted very closely, both of them are hard-working women, and they can empathize with some things. Yuqin came out and took the buns she bought and took Wu Niang back to the backyard.

There is also a small stove in Nie Shuyao's small office, which Xiao Shunzi saw her coming and hurriedly brought it from the front store. This will be booming, so Yuqin found a pot to heat those buns.

Nie Shuyao took advantage of this to ask Wu Niang: "Wu Niang, what do you think of our shop?" ”

Wu Niang knew that this was the young lady of the owner asking about their employment agreement, so she hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Miss is really capable, a few years ago, when I was in Beijing with the head of the family, I didn't see such a capable girl as Miss." The business of this weaving mill is really good. ”

"It's over, it's just a small fight." Nie Shuyao said casually and modestly. Question: "I don't know what Wu Niang thinks about the employment agreement?" ”

Wu Niang said: "The girl is a good person, we are grateful to be able to take me and the second artillery in." Otherwise. I can't survive for a few years in such a cold day every day, and then the second cannon will be bitter. It's just that my head of the family once said that we would rather work for others for the rest of our lives than sell ourselves. ”

Nie Shuyao nodded, she likes ambitious people, and said, "So, we signed an employment agreement." I have hired you to work, and I will pay you your monthly wages. Just think of it as a job. If it takes a long time for Wu Niang to sign, then our sisters and brothers will be responsible for the end, and there is no problem with pension. ”

Wu Niang is only thirty years old. But she looks old, she looks not young, she is tall but not fat, which makes people think that her body may not be able to work for a few years. But Nie Shuyao said that if he wanted to sign the long, he would also be responsible for the elderly. As soon as she heard this, her eyes turned red.

"Girl. Is this true? Don't you dislike it, if I can't catch a few cars, it's a burden? ”

Nie Shuyao shook his head with a smile, "No, there is a treasure in the family, and there are benefits of being old when you are old." ”

"Thank you, girl, for looking up to us. In this case, I will sign a long contract, and it will be fine for life. It's just that the second artillery can be signed for ten years first? If he wants to do something on his own in the future, I hope the girl will let him go. I know that such a request is too much, so I'll sign it for life. Wu Niang pleaded. If Nie Shuyao hadn't said that she didn't want to see the people around her kneel, she would have wanted to kneel down and beg a long time ago.

"Good!" Nie Shuyao readily agreed. "Let Xi'er draw up an employment agreement tonight. It's rare to come here, Wu Niang will eat a bun mat first, and we'll call for food later. ”

"Oh, thank you, miss." The main family wants her to eat, that is, the main family can afford to eat herself, so she has to eat.

At noon, everyone ate together, regardless of the master and servant, and Nie Shuyao returned to Zhenweiju after reading the recent account books.

The wax month is not yet halfway through, and the sales of the Su weaving workshop have caught up with the off-season for a month. I wonder how business is going in Ewha Town? Nie Shuyao really misses the antique Pear Blossom Town.

After Nie Tianxi got out of school that afternoon, Wu Niang signed an employment agreement with the Second Artillery, gave them a few days off, and returned to the village to deal with family affairs with a month's advance of money.

Wu Niang signed for life, and Second Artillery only signed for ten years. But Nie Shuyao is sure that the second artillery will also be a good driver for Nie Tianxi in the future.

"Sister, it's almost the New Year, do we have to go back to Pear Blossom Town? Steward Liu and Shopkeeper Wu haven't seen each other for half a year, I don't know if they're okay? Nie Tianxi frowned.

Nie Shuyao said: "Yes, let's go back a year ago." There are also Aunt Niu and them, I don't know if Xiao Hei has grown up. ”

Although Da Niu will bring her the account book every month, she has never returned to Pear Blossom Town since she entered the city.

The next day, the sky changed, it became gray, and it looked like it was going to snow.

In the evening, Wu Niang and the others came back, and kowtowed to Nie Shuyao's sister and brother to officially recognize the lord, and from now on they will be regarded as sisters and brothers. Wu Niang and Er Pao temporarily lived in the backyard wing of Zhenwei Ju, and followed Nie Shuyao and them to eat together.

As soon as there were more people, Nie Shuyao felt inconvenient, and only hoped that the days would pass faster and go back to Lihua Town to live a comfortable life earlier.

It began to snow the day after dinner, but in this weather, the siblings welcomed a familiar guest. The six of them were doing their own things in the warm hall.

After the knock on the door, Wu Niang went to open the door.

"Are you...... Mr. Shen? Wu Niang looked at Shen Xinlu, who looked tired outside the door, and asked.

Shen Xinlu nodded: "It's down, I don't know ......." ”

When Nie Shuyao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Master Shen, please come in." ”

The room she was in was the largest guest room in Zhenweiju, and the living room was separated from the bedroom, where they all discussed on weekdays.

After Shen Xin entered it, he threw his hand at the two sisters and brothers, "Excuse me!" ”

After he drank the hot tea handed by Yuqin in one gulp, he sighed and said, "I'll go one step late, the thatched house has been burned down." ”

Nie Shuyao was stunned, "When did this happen?" ”

"It was said that it was yesterday at noon, and when I arrived there it was already evening, and I couldn't see through the window. Everything that was wood burned to the ground. ”

Shen Xinlu was quite depressed and said: "I thought I could solve the secret of the secret room, but I never thought about ......it, it seems that God doesn't want Zhou to avenge his grievances." ”

Nie Tianxi said: "It's Master Zhou from Ling County, his death can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." ”

"Even so, it still feels bad that the truth is buried." Nie Shuyao frowned and said, "Master Shen thinks so too, right?" ”

Shen Xinlu sighed and said: "Yes, although Zhou Papi is not a good person, such a way of dying also makes people feel uncomfortable. ”

The burning of the thatched house also shows that Zhou Papi's death was not a suicide. This person must have noticed something, or the window would be discovered sooner or later, so he set it on fire without doing anything. This murderer is really smart! Nie Shuyao frowned.

"Is there no way?" Shen Xinlu asked.

Nie Shuyao shook her head, "If the murderer disappears, there is really no way." ”

Shen Xinlu sighed again, "Now there are more rumors in Ling County, saying that the Zhou family is extremely evil, so God took Zhou Papai and set fire to burn the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family." The Zhou family also plans to withdraw the lawsuit, and the matter of family property within the Zhou family is becoming more and more fierce. It seems that God really doesn't let Zhou Papi avenge his grievances. ”

"Nope! It's not about God, it's man-made. Nie Shuyao denied, "I don't know what news there is in Ling County recently?" ”

Shen Xinlu didn't understand what she was asking for, but she still said what she knew.

"A few days ago, Xiao Taohong from Qu County went to Yihong Courtyard in Ling County, and those who admired her in Ling County came every day. I heard that the rich children are on her, and it is called spending money like flowing water. ”

Hearing this, Nie Shuyao frowned deeply again, "Yihong Courtyard is really pervasive, and there are their branches everywhere. This little pink is really red! ”

looked at Nie Tianxi and found that he didn't react to this, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, his younger brother was not the person who was vassally elegant, otherwise she would have to beat him back.

Shen Xinlu smiled: "This can't be banned." ”

Nie Shuyao asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”

Shen Xinlu frowned, and said uncertainly: "There is still a voice in Ling County, and I don't know how true it is." ”

"Please!"

"Some people say that Zhou Papi's death was committed by the thief Fengyue, otherwise how could he have died so silently? Some people also say that Fengyue wants to avenge the wronged people in their Ling County, and the governor is coming next year, so if you are wronged, hurry up and find someone to write a pleading. ”

After speaking, Nie Shuyao frowned and pondered, thinking about whether this matter really had anything to do with Fengyue.

Nie Tianxi said, "Big thief Fengyue? Isn't he in Qu County, why did he go to Ling County again? Now our county master can be regarded as relieved. However, the county magistrate of Ling County is going to be unlucky. ”

"That's true. Regardless of whether this was done by Fengyue or not, it is not a good sign for him to appear in Ling County. Besides, the governor is coming! Shen Xinlu echoed.

Entering Layue, the news that the imperial court was about to send a governor spread throughout Xuzhou Mansion, and the people looked forward to a good and honest official to support them.

But Nie Shuyao knew that this governor was really not a good official.

"I wonder if Fengyue appeared in Ling County for the arrival of the governor in the coming year? If there is a case that is difficult to decide in Ling County, the governor will definitely have to go when he inspects it. Nie Shuyao whispered to herself.

Shen Xinlu clapped his palms and said, "That's right." Why didn't I think of that? However, Fengyue is a thief, if Zhou Peeling is to attract the governor, then he will be unlucky? The governor's power is great, isn't he afraid that the governor will mobilize troops to destroy him when the time comes? ”

Nie Shuyao was pondering, she hadn't pierced the last layer of membrane yet.

"Maybe Fengyue's target is the governor!" Nie Tianxi said suddenly.

A word startled the person in the dream, Nie Shuyao raised his head sharply and said, "Maybe that's what Fengyue meant." ”

"What is it?" Nie Tianxi and Shen Xinlu said in unison.

Nie Tianxi just said it casually, and he didn't know what it was.

Nie Shuyao said: "Could it be the assassination of the governor?" ”

"It's ......." Shen Xinlu was stunned and stammered, "This ...... This idea is really bold, but it is a great thief, and it is said that there is really nothing in the world that he does not dare to do. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and they all thought that maybe this could really happen! (To be continued......)
