What Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Li said, Xin Yi naturally didn't know at all, and didn't care at all.

It's just to clean up a wicked person who calculates her, and she doesn't need to be too scared.

Even if she is only the wife of a county magistrate now, whether it is the Xin family or Chaotianguan, they are all her backing.

She doesn't want to show off, but she also doesn't want people to bully her.

She just wanted to wait for tomorrow to say goodbye to Mrs. Huang and go back to hug her son.

Gao's matter has been talked about in private.

The female relatives who were invited by Mrs. Huang were talking about it in private.

"Sister Gao is like that, in the winter, let alone walking around the biting pond, even if you take a hot bath, you feel cold and panicked, Sister Gao is really pitiful, hey, that person seems to be nothing, sleeping in the yard."

"Can she be blamed for this? Originally, the Gao family plotted against her, but she just dodged, and the Gao family was to blame. ”

"That's what I said, but she's like this, it's really scary, that Gao has such a thing, I heard that she hasn't given birth to a child yet.

A house-filler, no children, will she still wait for her stepson and stepdaughter to provide for her in the future? Her husband was so much older than her. ”

"It's a stranger, do you care if something happens to her?"

"Hey, what do you mean, how do you help that Xiao family everywhere, where are you in a hurry like this?"

"Where can I help her? It's just a matter of facts, so the Gao family wants to kill other people's lives, do they still sympathize with the fate of the enemy?

It's true that standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, and you don't know the pain when the stick doesn't hit you, that's not how good people do it......"

Everyone talked about it, and everyone had their own reasons.

Xin Yi didn't know that he had become a task on the cusp, so he slept well and woke up under the push of Zhenxiang.

On the first day, according to Mrs. Huang's meaning, everyone got to know each other, talked, ate tea, and chatted.

This is the general process of a general banquet, and inadvertently, you may be hooked up with the person you want to catch up.

However, something like that happened yesterday, Gao's health is good, he took ginger soup and the cold medicine prescribed by the doctor, but he didn't get sick with a fever, but people's spirits are not very good.

Originally, Mrs. Huang wanted to send someone to send her back, but she didn't expect that this Gao family was like a stubborn donkey, coaxing her not to, and walking upside down.

Mrs. Huang said that she sent her back, just because she didn't want her to be embarrassed by Xin Yi, but on the contrary, this Gao just didn't leave, and there was a posture that Xin Yi didn't leave, and she didn't leave.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Huang sent her personal grandmother to inform Xin Yi, saying that yesterday Lord Huang hunted a deer and sent it over, and today in the pavilion by the warm pavilion, surrounded the tent and made a brazier, and everyone roasted the venison to eat.

Those women of some age naturally disdain to do this, but the daughters they brought over like this.

Xin Yi naturally likes it too.

Barbecue, not only meat, but also all kinds of food boxes, Mrs. Huang also put a lot of effort into making everyone more wild.

There were no tables, chairs and stools, but felt carpets were spread in the pavilion, and everyone sat on the floor.

Not only is there a grill, but there is also a simple stove built on the side, on which a teapot is placed, and it is set up as a pot.

Neither the woman nor the little girl who came today had ever seen any of this, but they thought it was very new.

On the side, there were also people from other villages who took live fish and killed them and stewed a pot of fragrant fish soup......

The women were all right, the little girls had their eyes straightened, clapped their hands around the side, and took bowls of soup one after another.

The little girls chattered around and drank soup happily with bowls.

Xin Yi was roasting the venison slowly and methodically on the side, she enjoyed the process of roasting, as for where the roasted meat went, just look at the oily mouth of Li Zhuai next to her.

"Madam, I didn't expect you to be able to barbecue meat, it's so delicious, what kind of seasoning did you put here, when I go back, I will ask my chef to make it according to your recipe."

Xin Yi handed a bowl of tea soup to Li Zhu to relieve his tiredness, "Okay, I'll give you the recipe later, you can go home and roast it." ”

"However, this meat must be slaughtered in the county town like today, otherwise the meat will lose some taste."

Li Zhuhai sighed, put down his hand and ate the ordinary meat skewers, "My father is the most picky, and he can't get such freshly grilled meat, forget it, let's eat enough today." ”

Xin Yi, "......"

She glanced at Li Zhukuai's bulging little belly, this girl said that she had eaten enough, but she really had enough.

I'm not afraid that I won't be able to digest it when the time come

In the end, she was very merciful, and did not roast again, but took the little girl for a walk in the garden, she didn't want a female catcher in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty to be broken.

The two of them walked slowly in the garden, the snow on the road had been cleared, and there were tall trees on the side, and the snow that stayed on the leaves on the top occasionally fell, fluttering, and the snow fell on the two of them, sometimes sliding down the necks of the road.

From time to time, Li Kuai let out an exclamation, breaking the silence in the courtyard.

"There's some unmelted snow on the little trees on the hillside over there, let's go over there."

Xin Yi didn't care where she went, she would pull Li Zhu out quickly, in fact, she didn't want to get along with those women, let alone think twice about what she was about to say.

Li Zhu walked away for a while, and suddenly spoke.

"Madam, I was disrespectful to you before, it was Li Hong who was presumptuous, and I hope that Mrs. Madame has a lot of them, and I don't care about Li Hong."

Xin Yi was a little surprised, and said with a slight smile,

"We are the same age, don't call me Mrs., call me old like this, you can call me Xin Qi."

This is what it means not to worry about Li Hong.

Li Hong glanced at her and snorted,

"After all, I did something wrong, I want to apologize to you, you just bear it, what is the excuse."

"Anyway, if you want me to help you in the future, I will definitely help you if I can, and I will do my best if I can't."

"You also know that I came here, but that Mrs. Huang took a fancy to me and wanted to observe me again, this is really a good marriage, isn't it?"

When it comes to marriage, she is also blushing and panting, as if it is just an ordinary thing.

Xin Yi felt more and more that this Li Zhukuai was different from the girls she imagined in terms of appearance and temperament.

Pride is also true.

She actually likes this girl a little bit in her heart.

"Isn't this marriage bad? Although your family is very famous in He County, in the end, the family background of Lord Huang's family is much more powerful than your family. ”

Li Xiancheng is just a county minister, and if he manages the affairs of Hexian well, there must be someone to help.

And Lord Huang, this is the second year of his re-election in the Yanzhou prefect.

Li Zhukuai lowered his eyes slightly and said,

"No matter how good the family affair is, the person who marries me is always me, if I don't have the family affair I want, it is better to go to the monk."

Xin Yi continued with a smile, "You should consider the matter of becoming a monk carefully, don't always talk about it, this is not sincere to Daojun." ”

"Got it, just don't mention it." Li Zhu replied quickly.

"Isn't it? The marriage of the family, outsiders look glamorous, and the Tao is the right family, but in fact, why not take mutual benefits? After all, the matter of marriage is not about selling children and daughters, but also about making people wishful. ”

"Could it be that you and Lord Xiao are also married to a family? Aren't you and Lord Xiao affectionate? ”

Xin Yixing's eyes narrowed slightly, and as Li Zhukuai said, she seemed to vaguely know that there was something wrong with her marriage, and the concubine had a heart of resistance.

Struggle is right, but how to fight so as not to hurt oneself requires careful study.

She thought of Li Zhukuai's various maintenance of her yesterday, as well as those words of export, thinking that this was also a way for her to resist.

Let the people who look at her feel that she is not suitable.

If it is true that the person behind Li Xiancheng is Lord Huang, or a more senior figure, then it will be difficult for Li Zhukuai to escape the fate of marriage.

"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know." ”

Li Zhukuai was slightly stunned, turned his face away, and his ears were a little red.

"My father is really going to marry me, and you can't help even if you want to."

Xin Yi knew very well that she was a twisted character, so she smiled faintly and said nothing more.

It's just that Li Zhukuai sighed lightly and said,

"Today is not the time, another day when I think about what to say, and then I will look for you."

Because the hill was not too far away from them, and the hillside was not too high, they soon reached the top of the slope, and when they looked up, the whole Zhuangzi was covered in silver.

By the pavilion of the warm pavilion, from time to time there was a cheerful voice like a girl's silver bell.

Li Zhu quickly scraped some snow on the branches, kneaded it in his hand for a while, and it became a round snow ball.

She raised her hand and threw it far away, smashing it on the ground with a 'pop' sound.

One, two, three...... Li Zhu is playing fast.

She had scraped the snow off the branches, so she changed places and continued.

"You should be worried, this snow is rubbed, and you can worry about frostbite on your hands when the time comes, and it will not be beautiful when you get frostbite."

Xin Yi stopped Li from continuing to play.

Li Zhu was playing happily, and the clusters of snowballs smashed out, as if her troubles had been thrown away.

The snow on the trees was scraped off, and she went back to scrape the snow that had fallen on the edge of the trees.

"Huh...... Xin Qi, here...... What is it? "When Li was about to dig up the snow, he dug something out of the dirt.

It is a thing that Li Zhukuai is all too familiar with, an earring carved in the shape of a white magnolia.

This earring, which is matched with one of her bracelets, is made from the same piece of jade.

She gave the earrings to Lord Wei's daughter Wei Ruxue at that time, and the bracelet was left by her side.

Originally, she wanted to give the bracelet to Wei Ruxue, but Wei Ruxue pushed it, saying that it was too valuable.

Jade is a high-quality sheep fat jade, even if it is an earring made of leftovers.

She remembered that she had just given the gift to Wei Ruxue when they left.

The place where Dao finally found their bodies was also one south and one north with Zhuangzi.

How did these earrings get here?

Xin Yi didn't see Li Zhukuai's movements, seeing that she was squatting there for a long time without moving, seeing that her skirt was about to be wet with snow water.

"What's wrong? Even if I can't help you, it's okay to listen to your complaints, so maybe you will feel better. ”

Her voice was soft.

Li Zhu was almost awakened by her voice, and looked up at Xin Yi like a puppeteer, holding the earrings in his hand.

The words that come out of the mouth are that the donkey's head is not in the horse's mouth.

"Yesterday after you all dispersed, I went to the pond to see the scene, although many people came later and stepped on some new footprints, but there was only one footprint that dragged long."

"I also asked two maids who were on duty not far away, and they both said that the Gao family was the one who did it at that time."

"Do you think I actually have some talent for solving crimes?"

"Originally, I didn't want to come to this red plum banquet, I wanted to stay in the yamen to investigate the case of the Wei family's murder."

"But my father and mother wanted me to come, and I was escorted into the carriage, and I didn't like the jewelry that girls used at all."

Her voice grew lower and lower, and at last she was inaudible.

She raised her head bitterly, and suddenly smiled slightly, at this moment, the smile on her face was like the morning glow, bright and beautiful.

"You are a smart person, you should know why I said these words, this earring was given to Wei Ruxue by me that day, it is the daughter of Lord Wei."

"But now, this thing actually appeared on Mrs. Huang's other village."

"You say, did the Wei family live here, or did Ruxue be the only one who lived here? Are they or she willing? ”

Xin Yi's expression was a little sluggish, and his heart was at a loss, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Her gaze turned twice on Li Zhukuai's face, and then she reached out and took the earring on Li Zhukuai's hand and looked at it carefully.

This harvest is really not small.

Xin Yi's heart sank, and he looked around, except for the white snow, it was still white snow.

The view of this place was excellent, and she seemed to have seen a shadow flash quickly from the side, and now she didn't know where to go.

"Ah Hong, the earrings, you should act as if it didn't happen now, and now we will go back to the pavilion immediately."

Xin Yi held the earring, and said to Li Zhukuai with a condensed face.

Li Zhuhai didn't expect Xin Yi to say this, he was stunned for a while, and then asked after a while,

"Why? Shouldn't you ask Mrs. Huang why this earring is in this place? ”

"Are you afraid that something will happen if you ask? Why don't you avoid it first, and go back to the county to find an adult. ”

"I'm not afraid, with my father and mother here, the Huang family won't do anything to me."

She knew very well in her heart why the Huang family would take a fancy to her, wasn't it because interests were involved?

Put her in your hand like a hostage, to put it nicely, that is, marriage, high marriage.

Xin Yi smiled, "Don't be afraid, it's going to be fine, so you don't have anything to do, but because of an earring, what can you ask people?" ”

"Although this kind of mutton fat jade is good, it is not without other families, how can you prove that it is the one you gave to Wei Ruxue?"

"When the time comes, you go and ask, Mrs. Huang asks you like this, how can you answer?"

Li Zhu hurriedly grabbed the earrings, turned them over, and pointed to a place,

"This place, this one, is the mark I made, and all my jewelry has this mark."

Xin Yi said lightly, "That's it, it's your mark, not Miss Wei's mark." ”

Li Zhukuai was indignant, "What I said is true. This is really my gift to Ruxue. ”

"My maid knows. She didn't come with me today, I don't believe you can ask her when you go back to Hexian. ”

Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "I know, I believe what you said is true, but now is not a good time to ask, everything will wait until I go back to Hexian." ”

Li Zhuai suddenly understood, and suddenly felt a little sad.

Xin Yi was actually a little anxious in his heart, no matter how this earring got to Mrs. Huang's other village, it means that Lord Wei's death and this are inseparable from the county officials, but Lord Huang.

What she is most worried about now is that if this Yanzhou is really connected up and down, then won't the fifth brother be in danger at that time?

After all, a county order has already been killed, and it is not impossible to kill another county order when the time comes......

But don't say anything about the emperor's adopted son or anything like that, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he will not be allowed to say anything in the foreign military order.

When the time comes, people will die and be buried in the snow, who knows?

The more he thought about it, the more Xin Yi felt that the whole person was not good.

Naturally, he didn't want Li Zhu to show a little bit of his feet, in the past, the enemy was bright and I was dark, but now I want to change it.

She understands that old fritters in officialdom like Lord Huang are sometimes ordinary things, and they can guess countless layers of meaning.

No matter who the figure that flashed by just now, she had to be ready for it now.

Of course, she is also self-aware and does not feel that everything she does can really make those people relax their judgment.

It's just a bit of a problem for them.

Xin Yi immediately took Li Yu and walked down the hillside, she really couldn't sit still for a moment when she thought that her fifth brother might be in danger.

……

The matter of Mrs. Huang's courtyard was soon known to Xiao Yuanyou.

After he was silent for a while, he instructed Xiao Yi, "The original two secret guards are still sent to follow Madame." ”

Xiao Yuanyou once again deeply realized that in the future, he would try to let Xin Yi go to those banquets and the like as little as possible.

As she herself said, she has become a black household at various banquets, although those people have not reacted yet.

While everyone didn't react, it was better not to consciously go first.

Xiao Yuanyou walked around the room, thought about it for half an hour, and decided to pick up people from Mrs. Huang's Zhuangzi in person.

Anyway, he wants to investigate the case and find Lord Huang, and then Xin Yi will go to Lord Huang's house together on the street.

As soon as he thought that Xin Yi didn't know what would happen to him in Beizhuang, he couldn't stay for a moment, thinking that he wanted to meet people quickly.

made up his mind, Xiao Yuanyou immediately ordered people to rush to Mrs. Huang's Zhuangzi.

But the sky was slightly bright, and a group of men galloped out of the city.

The guards at the city gate looked at the dust raised at the city gate and asked the people around them,

"Boss, Lord Wei was really killed?"

At the beginning, the government blocked the news that Lord Wei's family was killed, but it had no effect, and within a day, not only Hexian, but also the entire Yan County knew that the previous county commander of Hexian County was killed, and the so-called blockade could only be concealed from ordinary people a little.

In the past few days, the entire county has been under martial law, and everyone is paying attention to what is happening.

Lord Wei's official reputation is better, and he has indeed done a lot of practical things, which will make everyone feel sorry for him, and they have condemned the murderer.

Some even say; Good people don't live long, and the scourge lasts for a thousand years, but who is this scourge? No one dared to say it.

Xin Yi took Li Yu to quickly return to the pavilion from the small hillside, those little girls were doing the drinking order, and when they saw Xin Yi and them coming back, they hurriedly pulled the two of them and let them play together.

A few of them were bold and lively, and even shouted for the two to play together.

One of the girls shouted with a smile, "Miss Li, let's play together." ”

"Maybe in the future we will call you young lady La, and we will let you entertain us when we come here."

"You don't want to sit still, your master."

Xin Yi frowned slightly, what are you talking about? Even if you look at each other, they won't say it until the two release the news.

In the end, this is related to the face of the two families, especially the female family, although there are hundreds of female families in the family, the request is also secretly begging, and I don't see which female family is everywhere saying who is asking to marry a girl from his family.

This girl looks very grinning, with a joking face, but what she says is very unpleasant, this Li Zhuai and the Huang family are okay, how can she see people after she can't say it?

Li Zhukuai pointed to the girl and said,

"I don't know who it was last time, saying that I ended up cheating, what's the matter, I owe it again?"

"When did that happen, how can Miss Li remember? Shibei three days, when you are impressed, I will not give it to my sister this time. ”

"Besides, my sister is missing a helper now, and Wei Ruxue can't help you."

Li Zhukuai was fine, but when he heard these people mention Wei Ruxue, the whole person was not good, so he rolled up his sleeves and said,

"Okay, wait for me to clean you up."

Someone asked,

"I heard that Mrs. Xiao and Weiyun Zhenren of Chaotianguan have learned a skill, and I think these things are also easy to come by, why don't you also play with the end?"

"We allow you to be with Miss Li, but don't say that we are bullying you."

Li Yu quickly hesitated and looked at Xin Yi.

She has rough skin and thick meat, and if she loses, she will lose, but Xin Yi can't do it, in the end, she has the reputation of the Xin family and the reputation of Lord Xiao, so it will be too difficult for her to end.

Xin Yi waved his hand,

"I've only learned from the master, so don't be smiling and generous, right?"

Li Zhu quickly breathed a sigh of relief, these people said to play, the end, it is not a literary test, Mrs. Xiao will definitely not play things.

It's better not to end up.

"Madam, then you will watch us play from the sidelines." Li Zhukuai said.

Xin Yi nodded, and saw that those girls had taken off their thick clothes outside, revealing their small jackets inside, and there were already people from the Huang family who had prepared utensils outside.

A long stick, and a couple of small balls.

What kind of ball is this going to play?

Xin Yi is indeed a little unclear.

The curtains on the sides were also removed, and the girls shuddered, and each of them picked up a stick that he had in his hand, and went out into the clearing.
