Xiao Jinxuan was light-hearted, and asked Zhou Xianrui for someone as soon as she opened her mouth, and bluntly said that the other party was in the Shuai Mansion and had his own eyeliner.

As soon as she finished saying this, Zhou Xianrui's eyes narrowed:

"Fourth Miss said so surely, how do you know that this mansion must have been planted by me."

His words are actually equivalent to admitting that what Xiao Jinxuan said is true, but he still has to figure out where the flaws are, otherwise the next time he is discovered by others, his chess piece will be ruined.

Xiao Jinxuan smiled, but did not answer immediately.

Because the reason why she knew was mainly in her previous life, when the crown prince fell, King Rui was also imprisoned, and for a while the tree fell and scattered, his subordinates confessed to King Rui, and in many important officials' homes, they had their own eyeliner, and the Shuai Mansion was also among them at that time.

It's just that at that time, she married Ji Lingfeng, and the old lady didn't like her, who was this eyeliner, the Shuai Mansion was secretly executed, and even Ji Lingfeng didn't find out.

But these have nothing to do with Xiao Jinxuan now, she just needs to know that there are secret chess pieces in the Shuai Mansion, which can be used by her at critical moments, and this is enough.

"Your Highness is too worried, Jinxuan just came to the Shuai Mansion, how can you see any flaws, it's just that I have worked with Your Highness in Yangzhou for a while, and I know that you are far-sighted, so I have this guess, I don't want me to be right."

When Zhou Xianrui heard this, he looked at Xiao Jinxuan deeply for a while, and saw that the other party looked calm, this prevarication was so perfunctory that he did not suspect it.

Then I saw him, with the index finger of his right hand, dipped some tea in the teacup in front of him, and then slowly wrote a person's name on the jujube wood tea table.

When Xiao Jinxuan saw the person's name clearly, surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled with relief, very satisfied.

Seeing this, Zhou Xianrui also smiled, wiped the handwriting on the table casually, and inadvertently glanced at the tea set and wooden table in front of him, and his eyebrows were raised.

"It seems that the fourth lady, in this handsome house, life is indeed not easy, the style of this tea set, if the king remembers correctly, it is the style of the year before last, and this table, it is not even pear blossom wood, the dignified lady of the handsome house, actually uses jujube wood furniture, and it is an old table and chair with paint off, it seems that the old lady is not generally dissatisfied with you."

Xiao Jinxuan smiled when she heard this, raised the teacup, and took a sip of tea comfortably.

"Yes, since Your Highness knows that Jinxuan is not easy, why don't you send some things to make up for me, if you want to come, my day will be much better."

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xianrui only thought about it slightly, and then understood what the other party meant, and as soon as he raised his hand, he said with a smile: "This king knows, and he will not disappoint the fourth lady." ”

After Zhou Xianrui left, in the evening, he really sent the things of the four carriages.

From the seats and benches to the small objects, the small forsythia courtyard has been completely renovated from the inside to the outside.

Naturally, the old lady couldn't hide this, and after the other party found out, he came to see it in person, but when he left, his face was black and he was about to catch up with the ashes at the bottom of the pot.

The old lady will be like this, if it is not that Xiao Jinxuan has got something, the main reason is that she can't afford to lose this person.

Thinking that this marshal's mansion, in Changping, and even in the entire Great Zhou, is one of the best big families, but now a young lady in the mansion has to be fed and clothed, but she needs outsiders to help with the arrangement, and when this matter spreads, won't it become a laughing stock.

And the most important thing is that several young ladies from the Shuai Mansion, in the Changping family, are all subordinates, and now there is a concubine, but the treatment is so different, the old lady just thinks about it, and she feels that behind her, someone is designated to poke her backbone, saying that she is heavy and light, mean and unkind.

So from Xiao Jinxuan's departure, the old lady called the Qian family, who was in charge of the house, and complained and got angry before driving the other party away.

As a result, early in the morning of the second day, Qian had to come to the Forsythia Courtyard with a smiling face, with soft clothes and a maid and a maid.

Under Zhou Xianrui's interference, although the old lady didn't like Xiao Jinxuan, in order to make the image of a loving grandmother, she also bleed once and rewarded a lot of good things.

Just a hundred taels of silver ingots, there are three small boxes, and there is also a box of small gold ingots, ten hairpins with beads, 20 pairs of bracelets and jade, seven pieces of silk and satin, and ten pairs of porcelain vase ornaments.

The old lady was trying to save face this time, so as not to make people think that she was favoritism, so everything she took out was all high-quality.

In addition to the above, three sets of jewelry are even more exquisite, even in the previous life, Xiao Jinxuan later became a princess, and she saw a lot of good things, but such jewelry is extremely difficult to see.

The first two sets of jewelry consist of hairpins, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.

The first set is all made of different sizes of Dongzhu, Dongzhu is worth a lot of money, a thumb is big, can be worth a hundred taels of gold, and the necklace in this pair of jewelry, embellished with Dongzhu, enough to be as big as a human eye, I am afraid that it is worth it, and the gold is more than that.

The second set of jewelry, the materials are very ordinary, all made of red gold, but what is rare is the exquisiteness of its hollowing, especially the step shake, which is hollowed out and carved, hundreds of butterflies come, the breeze blows, these butterflies are like alive, all spread their wings, beautiful, amazing.

If the first two pieces are already rare treasures, and when the third set of jewelry is displayed in front of Xiao Jinxuan, she who has always been indifferent, can't help but gasp.

I saw this set of jewelry, lying quietly in a box made of agarwood, different from the previous two sets of jewelry, this set of jewelry is composed of nine hairpins of the same size.

These nine hairpins are different from the hairpins seen in the past, which are so delicate and shiny, and they are jeweled.

On the contrary, the hairpin in this box is as black as ink, if it is not on the hairpin handle, flowing from time to time, like a bright silver light like stars, I am afraid that anyone who sees it at first glance will think that this hairpin is made of ebony.

At the top of this hairpin, carved respectively, a bird-shaped totem that looks like a phoenix but not a phoenix, like an eagle but not an eagle, and is clearly outlined with red gold wire.

This bird is extremely expressive, the kind of domineering that looks up and cries and soars into the sky, even if it is just looking at it, it can make people empathize.

And in the eye sockets of this bird, there are also very small rubies, embellished with eyes, I don't know how the craftsman carved it did it, the eyes of this bird, fierce and intimidating, as if compared to the phoenix of the king of birds, but also more proud of the birds, looking up to the world.

And the hairpin handle, which originally looked like wood, was held in her hand, Xiao Jinxuan found that it was quite weighty and as hard as iron.

Almost the moment she saw these nine hairpins, Xiao Jinxuan liked them, and she couldn't wait to wear one of them on her head.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Xin was puzzled and said: "Miss, how can you like it, this kind of black thing, the slave maid didn't even see what material it was made of, especially the bird engraved on it, it was weird and scary to look at." ”

When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she smiled and said: "Don't underestimate this hairpin, although the hairpin handle is made of material, I don't know it, but the red line used to outline the totem on it is the red gold in the unique five-color gold of Beirong country, Beirong is respected by black and red, I think this set of hairpins may be something from Beirong country." ”

She can see the origin of this hairpin at a glance, thanks to the precious classics that Meng Mian gave her, what she said above is what she saw in the book.

The Xiao family fought in all directions, and every time they captured the spoils of war, the treasures among them were naturally distributed according to their military merits, and it was not surprising that they were collected into the Shuaifu.

At this time, Atractylodes, who was in charge of sorting out tonic medicinal materials, came in with a storage list.

"Miss, in addition to the ginseng, bird's nest, astragalus, lotus seeds and other supplements sent by the third lady, the deer antler, sea cucumber, blood bird's nest, and the hundred-year-old ginseng sent by the eldest lady have also been recorded and sent to the small warehouse."

The old lady expressed her position, and all the rooms naturally took out things and sent them to Xiao Jinxuan, and even the second lady who had been recuperating and did not show up also sent a pair of jade ruyi to express her feelings.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who will do this, has made a lot of money, plus the things she brought in Yangzhou, and now compared with other young ladies, this family is not bad at all.

Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui cooperate tacitly, with Zhou Xianrui's help, Xiao Jinxuan rarely gets a moment of peace in the Shuai Mansion, no one comes to her trouble again, I am afraid of falling into a harsh reputation, even the old lady on the surface, her attitude is much better.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Jinxuan has been living in Shuai Mansion for nearly a month.

And winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye, it is May, the weather is warmer, and the thick cotton curtains used to block the wind on the doors and windows have also been removed.

At nightfall, the soft moonlight spills into the room through the window, and at midnight, it is the time for people to fall asleep.

Xiao Jinxuan is the same now, her hair is spread out, and her face is sleeping quietly and sweetly.

But suddenly, a woman's shrill scream, without warning, sounded in the middle of the night, the voice was full of fear, and it was inevitable that people would shudder when they heard it on such a night.

Xiao Jinxuan was already sleeping very lightly, and almost at the moment when the scream sounded, her eyes opened, and a cold light flashed from her eyes.

When she came to Shuaifu, even if she was sleeping, she didn't let go of her vigilance, so she didn't wake up in a hazy state, and when she lifted the quilt, she put on her shoes and went to the ground.

Frowning and raising his voice, he shouted out: "Zhuxin, Baizhu, what's going on outside, who is screaming in the yard." ”

As a personal maidservant, even if she rests at night, she sleeps in the side room next to the door of the master's room, so when Xiao Jinxuan spoke, Zhuxin and Baizhu pushed the door in.

Zhu Xin is most afraid of sneakiness, and she heard the scream, which will make her tremble with fright, or Baishu on the side, she has to be a lot calmer.

Then I saw Baizhu and said, "Miss, I don't know about Zhuxin and I, but I guess something happened." ”

Xiao Jinxuan nodded, and was about to say that she wanted to go out and see for herself, but before she could say anything, she heard Zhuxin on the side screaming in horror.

"Ahh There's a ghost, there's a ghost on the lady's window, you're ...... You run. After speaking, Zhu Xin's frightened body was soft, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he stepped forward and blocked Xiao Jinxuan, looking at the window with a pair of eyes in horror.

Xiao Jinxuan naturally wouldn't run away, frowning and hurriedly looking at the window, and then her pupils shrank.

I saw that on the originally empty window, there was a miserable white face with seven holes bleeding, hair scattered, white clothes, hands on the window frame, the whole face was tightly attached to the window, a pair of eyes were hooked, looking into the room.
