Gao Iris shook his head: "The lotus has been in the house for all these years, and it has never been different." She has no grievances with Lin Xi, why do you want to hurt her? Besides, she couldn't come up with two thousand taels of silver. ”

"That's right, the ...... in this house can take out two thousand taels of silver" Orange's face changed slightly, and he suddenly covered his mouth.

Gao Iris's heart sank, and his eyes gradually darkened.

……

Morning star falls.

The sun is rising.

You can't hide secrets in the big family.

Last night, the movement of Hanmo Courtyard was so big, but it was just a few hours, and everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew that the master and servant of Xinran Courtyard were beaten.

The second young master has always liked colors, drinking flower wine, and visiting a flower building, what a big deal it is. was caught by the master, and it was also bad luck, and after a few days, when the old man's anger disappeared, he was still alive and well, and it was not that he had not been beaten.

Therefore, the matter of the second young master did not cause much turmoil.

The real thrilling is the humble maid Lin Xi. Everyone in the Gao Mansion secretly speculated what kind of ending would be waiting for Lin Xi?

……

After Gao Zecheng stayed in the study overnight, the sky was about to dawn, and he went to Chaochun Courtyard.

The maids who sprinkled and swept the courtyard, and the mother-in-law saw the husband coming, and saluted one after another. Gao Zecheng turned a blind eye and went straight into the room.

Xia had just gotten up at this time, and was slightly surprised when he saw the man coming in.

"Why did you come so early?"

Gao Zecheng sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a while: "I always feel that the two thousand taels are a little doubtful. How did this girl get such a huge sum of money? Call all the men together today, and see if there is any silver in every house and in every house. If she is less, you will have someone send her to the official; If not, I'm afraid there will be something strange about this matter. You can secretly investigate, and the matter of sending the official to the official will be delayed for a day, and it will be fine. ”

Xia smiled and said, "The master is wise! That's what I thought, too. Several beads and hairpins are all people who have suffered from the master, but the silver, which is not clear, unclear and unclear, always makes people suspicious. ”

Gao Zecheng seemed to have thought of something. He said in a low voice: "Send someone to this maid's house to investigate." ”

"Sir?" Xia exclaimed.

Gao Zecheng lowered his eyes and said, "I'm in such a position. I had to have a little more heart. And I heard that this maid only signed a deed of sale for five years, if it is true...... That's not a trivial matter. ”

……

The spring day is warm and the weather is sunny.

Lin Nan sat at the counter, holding his chin. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Yesterday's dream. Some are unlucky. She dreamed that Xiaoxi followed Tie Dan to climb up and down. was beaten by the master. Xiaoxi was crying in pain, how could she and her junior brother persuade her on the side, but the master kept a straight face and was silent.

In memory. Although Xiaoxi is naughty and often makes herself blue and purple, the master has always held her in the palm of his hand, let alone beating, and he is reluctant to scold. It's a dream that's confusing.

"Sister Xiaonan, do you think I look good in this dress?" Erya pulled the corner of her clothes, picked up the curtain and walked out, and smiled at Lin Nan shyly.

Lin Nan came back to his senses, looked at it a few times and smiled: "It's so good-looking, it's just a little older, I'll take you to the shop to make a few suitable ones when I go back?" ”

Erya waved her hand again and again: "I don't want it, I am wearing Sister Xiaonan's clothes just right." ”

Lin Nan took her hand, plucked a jade hairpin from her head, stuck it on her head, and said with a sneer: "Those clothes, if you don't dislike those clothes that I worn, look at what you like, just take them." It is said that people want clothes, Buddha wants gold clothes, and Erya is dressed like this, and when you look back, your brother and they will not know each other. ”

"Sister Xiaonan, I can't help it, how much is this jade hairpin worth?"

"Silly girl, what kind of money is not rich, have you forgotten, when I was a child, Xiaoxi and I often came to your house for dinner, did Twelve Niang ask us for a tael of silver?" Lin Nan feigned anger.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaonan!" Erya touched the hairpin on her head and said happily.

"Erya, it's so beautiful today!" Gangzi turned his head and grinned as he wiped the table.

Erya raised her eyebrows, glanced at him with disgust, and said to Lin Nan shyly: "Sister Xiaonan, I'll go to the kitchen to help." ”

"What about the Twelve Mothers? Why didn't you see her today? ”

"My mother said that she would help Xiaoxi make a few new clothes, and she went out early in the morning to buy embroidery thread."

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Twelve Niang's needlework is fine, and Xiaoxi loves to wear the clothes she makes when she is a child." ”

"Xiaoxi, when did she come out of Nafu?" Erya said curiously.

"It's almost now, it's only been four or five months." The corners of Lin Nan's mouth raised slightly.

"Sister Xiaonan, I'...... I'm ......" Er Ya Su pinched the corner of her clothes and twisted it.

"If you have anything to say, just say, since you are here, you are all a family, what are you doing squeaking?" Lin Nan has always been a happy person, and he doesn't like others to say half a sentence and leave half a sentence.

"Sister Xiaonan, Brother Xiaobei...... When...... Come back? The second girl squeaked twice, and her face turned red with shame.

"Him?"

Lin Nan smiled deeply: "I'm afraid there are still some days, this time it will be far away, and it won't be so early." ”

"Erya, I didn't lie to you, did I? I'll just say that the North shopkeeper will come back, and there will be a few days left. Gangzi's eyes were blazing.

The second girl stomped her feet, glared at Gangzi, and went to the inner room with a red face.

Lin Nan smiled dumbly.

This second girl, when she was young, played behind her and Xiaoxi's buttocks. But since the little junior brother arrived in Linjia Village, a heart fell on the little junior brother, and said that he would not marry if he was not a junior brother in this life. But Lin Bei didn't mean anything to her, and she opened her words early in the morning, and the second girl didn't give up.

Lin Nan sighed lightly, thinking about the worry in his heart, and beckoned to Gangzi.

"Shopkeeper South, what's the matter?"

Lin Nan took out a few taels of silver from his arms and stuffed them into Gangzi's hand: "When the guests leave in the afternoon, go to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and inquire about what's going on in the Mansion in the past few days?" ”

"Shopkeeper, are you afraid?"

"There is always some uncertainty, and it is good to ask." Lin Nan thought about the dream that lingered in his heart, and trimmed his eyebrows.

Gangzi stuffed the silver into his arms and responded: "Don't worry! ”

……

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper. There were a lot of officers and soldiers outside. Lu Tent ran in with his robe and a shocked face.

The guys stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Nan one after another.

Lin Nan was slightly stunned: "Let's do business in Drunken Immortal Residence, we have always done our duty, don't be afraid, I'll go and take a look!" ”

"Wait!"

I don't know when, Chef Qi Jin quietly stood behind him.

"The south shopkeeper, the north shopkeeper is not here, you are a female streamer to deal with officers and soldiers, it is not suitable. You watch in the shop, I'll go out and see! ”

"Yes. Right. Yes, it's not appropriate for the South shopkeeper to go out, Lao Qi, I'll go with you! Lu Tent echoed.

Lin Nan thought about his junior brother's explanation before leaving. lowered his voice and said: "There is a way that the people do not fight with the officials. Be careful. I really can't do it, I can spend some money to get it away. ”

Qi Jin puffed up his burly chest and nodded. Walking out with steady steps, Lu Tent came out later.

Seeing this, the three of Gangzi, Qiangzi, and Wuzi glanced at each other, threw down the rag in their hands, and followed closely.

……

At this time, the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Residence was surrounded by officers and soldiers. Such a posture attracted passers-by and neighbors to stop and look.

Qi Jin looked around, and his gaze fell faintly on the leader.

The person who came was Zhou Lin, the Shuntian Mansion. This person is in his thirties, of medium stature, with a square face, and a scholarly style.

Zhou Lin narrowed his eyes, his gaze fell on the plaque of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and said in a deep voice: "Call your shopkeeper out." ”

As soon as Qi Jin heard the official tone in this, he knew that the person who came was not good, so he smiled and said: "Back to the official, my shopkeeper went out to do business, and he hasn't returned yet, what does the official have to say, just talk to the subordinates?" ”

Zhou Lin frowned and said, "Who are you?" Register your name. ”

"Back to the official master, the chef of the Drunken Xianju is in the lower seat, and the surname is the same as the name of Jin." Qi Jin Dafang Fangdao.

"Cook?"

Zhou Lin looked disdainful: "I can't tell you." I heard that there are two shopkeepers in the Drunken Immortal Residence, is it possible that the two shopkeepers have gone out to run errands? ”

Qi Jin said with a smile: "Back to the official, my shopkeeper in the south is slightly ill today, and it is inconvenient to meet guests. ”

Zhou Lin coughed lightly, Xiao Shi on the side understood, and stepped forward and said: "Someone came to Shuntianfu yesterday to complain, saying that you drunk Xianju wine mixed with water, the ingredients were fake, and you had a bad stomach, we have to go into the store to check it out!" ”

When Qi Jin heard this, his face changed slightly.

Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly pulled the corner of Qi Jin's clothes and signaled him not to be impulsive.

Qi Jin then said with a smile: "Back to the official, it has been nearly five years since the opening of my drunken immortal residence, receiving visitors from all over the world and welcoming friends from all over the world. Dare to ask the official, where is the plaintiff, I am willing to confront him. ”

Zhou Lin never expected that the words of a guy in charge of the spoon would be more literate than his dignified man, and he didn't like it, so he hid his face and coughed lightly a few times.

Xiao Shi said sharply: "Presumptuous, you Diao Min, are you questioning that Lord Cheng of my mansion has wronged you?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Lu Tent pushed Qi Jin, nodded and walked to Fu Cheng's side with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Official, if there is something, it's easy to discuss!" The official has been standing for a long time, please go inside and drink a cup of thin tea......"

"What nonsense!"

Zhou Fucheng obviously didn't eat this set, and with a hard push with his hand, Lu Bu stumbled and sat on the ground.

"Come on, let me go in and check!"

"Slowly, summon the day, Lang Lang, Lord Fu Cheng wants to investigate, and he has to be famous, if someone deliberately frames me and ruins my reputation as a drunken immortal, what should I do?" When Qi Jin saw Lu Bu being pushed, he was furious and refused to let him go.

Zhou Lin's heart was weak, and he couldn't help but scold: "What do I care about you?" Come on, check it out for me! ”

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen officers and soldiers moved together and rushed into the Drunken Immortal Residence one after another.

Qi Jin did not expect these officers and soldiers to do what they said, and when they were about to stop again, they only heard a few ping-pong sounds, and the dozens of fine bamboo leaves sealed in the corner were shattered in response to the sound, and the aroma of wine overflowed in an instant, causing bursts of exclamations from the crowd of onlookers.

Qi Jin gritted his teeth, clenched his fist and gurgled his hand.

The three of them, with six eyes brushing together, stared at Qi Jin, as if waiting for him to give an order. (To be continued......)
