Meng Tianchu was interested, and when he saw that there was no one around, he took the opportunity to step forward and kiss one, Feiyan snickered, dodged from afar, and said that he was not ashamed, and his face had become red and fluttering.

"Tell me, what's the good thing?"

Feiyan stepped forward, very mysterious, and whispered: "Just now I went to Lord Cheng to find a recipe for making bear paws, saying that this is not only delicious bear paws, but also not greasy, I tried to do it the day before yesterday, and I have not been very satisfied, it turned out to be missing the most important ingredients, ha, Tianchu, I will make it for you to eat at night, Lord Cheng also gave us a pair of good deer antler velvets, I will wait for the autumn to make soup for you to drink, you seem to have lost weight recently." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but be moved when he saw Feiyan's happy appearance, this girl has always been close to herself, very careful, for fear that she would not be able to eat well and dress warmly, if she was not Feiyan, she probably would not recover so quickly.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward and hugged Feiyan in his arms and said, "Feiyan, it's rare that you have worked hard, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Feiyan hurriedly broke free from Meng Tianchu's arms, looked around, laughed again, and said, "You are my father-in-law, Feiyan's lifelong dependence, be good to you, that's how it should be." ”

"It was your sentence that moved me even more."

Feiyan was a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, Xianggong is so good to Feiyan, why do you need to say thank you or something like that?" You go and get busy with yours, I also have to rush to Lingyin Temple and make peace with the eldest lady. ”

Meng Tianchu then remembered that they hadn't gone to Lingyin Temple in a majestic group, why Feiyan was still here.

"If you don't say that I forgot it, why are you left alone, how can you go?"

"I'll hire a sedan chair and go."

"No, didn't they ask Aunt Li or anyone else to wait for you?"

Feiyan said with a smile: "The sky is white, where is the need, okay, I'm leaving." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly grabbed Feiyan. said: "I'll let Chai Meng send you there." ”

Feiyan: "I really don't need to, who doesn't know that I, Feiyan, is now the fourth lady of the prefect of Hangzhou, and no one dares to look at me, okay." I'm leaving. ”

Meng Tianchu saw Feiyan running away lightly like a swallow. After thinking about it, I still went forward and called Chai Meng. caught up with Feiyan and asked Chai Meng to send her there, and now the murders in Hangzhou are one after another, and they cannot be underestimated.

Wang Yi came back soon, and as soon as he told Meng Tianchu about the situation of going to Zhao's house, the two of them came, and when they got closer, they saw that the little bell was crying profusely. Xiao Nuo whispered comforting on the side.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward and said suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”

A hint of smugness flashed in Xiao Nuodi's eyes, but his expression was still very serious. whispered: "I just talked to her about the things she did when she was a child and her family, probably because the little bell missed her mother, so she hurt Meng Tianchu couldn't help laughing, and said to the little bell: "Okay, the little bell won't cry." I have something to ask you. ”

The little bell looked up. Looking at Meng Tianchu with tears in his eyes, he nodded.

Meng Tianchu sat on the chair opposite. asked, "How much is your monthly salary in Zhao's house?" ”

The little bell was stunned for a moment and said, "In the past, it was 300 wen, but later I went to my wife's room and added 20 wen to me." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then how do you use your monthly land salary?" ”

Little bell: "Three hundred wen let my father take it home and take it home, and the remaining twenty wen buy some small things by himself." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Wang Yi, Wang Yi took out a very delicate purse from his arms, with a lotus flower on it, and a small word next to it: Ling. When the little bell saw it, his face suddenly turned pale, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he pointed to his purse and said, "You..." You guys? ”

Meng Tianchu stood up suddenly, slapped the table suddenly, roared, and said, "Little bell, don't you hurry up and tell the official, you only have twenty yuan a month to stay by your side, how can there be as many as one or two pieces of silver in the purse found under your bed, and say, where did this scattered silver come from?" ”

The little bell suddenly panicked, and Xiao Nuo whispered comforting: "Don't be afraid, you can say whatever you want, in fact, Master Meng is very good, think about it, as long as you don't do it, you say it, you can still be your maid in the Zhao family, your mother is not in good health, and you still need your money and your sister's money to go to the doctor and eat, and your brother still has to go to a private school to study, didn't you just say that your brother is very smart and Mr. praised him?" ”

Little Bell thought for a while, nodded, and said, "These scattered pieces of silver were given to me by Xiaocui when she was walking on the ground, saying that it was the reward that the third lady usually gave her, and she kept it and was not willing to use it, so she gave it to me." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Why did she give you silver?" ”

The little bell paused, saying that he didn't know.

Meng Tianchu: "If you don't say it, you don't want to go back, first go to the yamen prison and stay in the yamen prison for a few days to think about it before you say, someone is coming..."

Xiaonuo hurriedly said to the little bell: "If you don't say it, I can't help you." ”

Seeing that the two people came in and wanted to take him away, Xiao Bell knew that it was true, frightened, and hurriedly said: "Xiaocui and I have been very good, she wants to leave, give me some silver and let me wait until my father comes to give it to my father to my mother's medical treatment, I really don't know anything else." ”

Meng Tianchu stopped the two guards and said to Xiao Bell: "Then you tell me that Feng'er went to Wan Niang's room, did Xiao Cui tell you to say it." ”

Little Bell hesitated and nodded.

Meng Tianchu: "Did she tell you anything else?" ”

Little Bell shook her head and said, "I really don't know anything, so she asked me to tell you that, I asked her why, and she said I didn't know, so I didn't ask." ”

Meng Tianchu; "Then why did she leave the Zhao family suddenly, you should know this."

Little Bell secretly looked at Meng Tianchu's expression, saw his serious face, and said timidly: "She... She said she had to go, or she wouldn't be able to go. ”

Meng Tianchu: "What do you mean, otherwise you won't be able to leave?" ”

"I saw that she looked flustered, and even gave me her favorite gadgets and clothes on weekdays, and left with the baggage."

"Do you know where her family lives?"

"I don't know. only said that there was an aunt who was an old mother in an old man's house in Qiantang County, and nothing else was said. ”

"You didn't coax us, did you?"

"Master Meng, I don't dare to lie if my little bell is killed, if I can't make money. My mother and my brother are left alone. I'm not going to lie. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Xiao Bell didn't look like he was lying, so he said, "Then do you know how Wanniang and Xiaocui get along on weekdays?" ”

"Pretty well. The third lady is the best person in the Zhao family, she is very good to me and Xiaocui, and on weekdays, unlike other places where Mrs. and Mrs. always like to beat and scold us maids and subordinates, she is always kind to us, and secretly gives me and Xiaocui some money during the New Year's holidays and asks us to ask someone to bring it back to our family. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Which wife is the butler of the Zhao family?" ”

"I used to be a wife, and then I have been a third lady, she is fair, and everyone believes in her." "Is there anything else you want to tell us?"

"Nope."

"Then you go back. After you go back, if anyone in the Zhao family asks you, you will say that you will just ask you to come over and ask about the situation the day before the death of the late mother. You know? ”

"Got it."

"By the way, did you go out yesterday?"

"No, my wife was unwell yesterday, and I waited at home for a day."

"Then do you know which maid of the Zhao family went out yesterday?"

"Then I don't know, but I'll know if you ask the housekeeper. He's registered everywhere. If it weren't for the master's business, we would only be able to go out twice a month. It should not be more than an hour at a time. ”

After Meng Tianchu finished asking, he asked the little bell to be sent back and returned the scattered silver to her.

Wang Yi: "What should we do next, Meng Ye?" ”

"Let's talk about finding Xiaocui."

"Yes, Master Meng."

Xiaonuo: "The matter of the Zhao family's grandson is still unclear, if it is really not Wang Wugandi, then there is more than one murderer in this serial case." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Wang Wu will commit a crime, but it cannot be ruled out, I always feel that there seems to be a disconnect in the middle, what it is, I can't say clearly, when your father and I were walking in the garden before, he asked me to jump out of this *** to think, don't go according to the previous thinking, I think it makes sense, but I can't find any way for a while, and I can't understand how to think about this problem." ”

Xiaonuo: "You met my father before, did he say in front of you that I wasn't anymore?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "You, you, that's your father, why do you think so badly of your father at every turn?" ”

Xiaonuo smiled and said, "I didn't say that my father was bad, I just said that he always criticized me." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Scold him, he praised you in front of me." ”

Xiaonuo said happily: "Really? What did my dad praise me? ”

Meng Tianchu deliberately sold Guan Zi and said, "I won't tell you, unless I am invited to eat something delicious." ”

Xiaonuo was the most arrogant, and said: "Isn't it just to invite you to eat, okay, let's go, you can eat whatever you want, my mother only gave me two taels of silver in the morning." ”

Meng Tianchu said to Wang Yi: "Look, this is the child of a rich family, and he will give a few taels of silver at every turn, and look at the little bell family who only earns three hundred and twenty wen a month." ”

Wang Yi: "Don't say it, I just thought that Meng Ye and Miss Xiaonuo cooperated very tacitly, one sang with a red face and the other with a white face, and took down the maid in three or two clicks." ”

Xiao Nuo said proudly: "That's it, a famous teacher makes a high apprentice!" ”

Everyone laughed, Meng Tianchu asked Wang Yi to go and call the dragon slayer to go with him, and Xiao Nuo and himself were waiting for them at the door.

Meng Tianchu: "By the way, what did you just say to remind me, what about your master?" ”

Xiao Nuo smiled strangely: "Miss someone? ”

"you, and your Brother Meng is getting more and more unserious."

"Teasing you, hehe, go back to the Yin family's cottage first, after all, they are the masters of a village, and there are probably some things to explain. I'll be back in ten days, don't think about it! ”

Meng Tianchu pretended to be about to beat someone, stretched out his hand, and Xiao Nuo was clever to dodge. Meng Tianchu said: "Such jokes will not be allowed in the future." I'm your eldest brother, I can spare you, be careful that your master knows. You can't eat and walk away. ”

Xiao Nuo said disapprenously: "What about the master, as long as anyone treats me Brother Meng badly, I Xiao Nuo will not spare her." ”

Meng Tianchu was moved, and jokingly said: "Including your master? ”

"That's it!"

"People are your masters, teachers for one day and fathers for life, understand?"

"I don't understand, why should I understand. I Xiaonuo is such a person, jealous and hateful! ”

Slayer Long and Wang Yi walked over. Both of them couldn't help but say: "Should we add a sentence of chivalry?" ”

Xiao Nuo turned his head to see them, made a grimace, and said, "I think it's okay, when I learn kung fu, I can wander the world." The chivalrous man is righteous. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "A girl's house." Why don't you learn embroidery and knitting at home for a day, and dance knives and sticks at every turn. I see who will dare to ask you in the future. ”

Xiao Nuo himself walked out of the door first, and said loudly, "It's not who dares to ask me, it's a question of who this girl wants to marry, I don't want to marry, and no one can force me, including the Long Live Lord!" ”

Slaying the dragon smiled: "It's really a woman who doesn't let the eyebrows be strange!" ”

Wang Yi whispered: "I'm afraid that there will not be a woman with such a temperament for thousands of years." ”

Tu Long pointed at Meng Tianchu and said, "I heard that Lord Meng's second lady..."

Wang Yi secretly covered his mouth and smiled, Meng Tianchu was about to speak, Xiaonuo had already gotten into the carriage, and said, "If you don't want to eat, I won't invite you, what has not been said yet, three big men, it's really ridiculous!" ”

Wang Yi drove in front of the car, did not call the coachman, but felt that the four people were at ease, a few people laughed, the carriage came to the market unconsciously, the speed slowed down, Wang Yi poked his head into the car, and said: "Today is the fifteenth day, it is a big gathering, I knew that we would take the small road." ”

Xiaonuo was also anxious, and said: "Then I'll find a nearby restaurant to eat, and don't go to the Juxian Building." ”

Meng Tianchu: "I don't do it, the best place to eat drunk crabs in West Lake this season is the best one Juxianlou makes, and the osmanthus wine there is also a must, and I drool when I think about it, but it's too expensive, and I can't afford to go on weekdays." ”

Xiao Nuo made a shyless gesture, swiped his face twice, and said, "Who will believe crying poor in front of us?" The Meng family's mansion has been repaired, but it is the largest mansion in our Hangzhou Mansion and even in the entire Zhejiang, if it weren't for the meaning of the Long Live Lord, I'm afraid that the government should come to check, and what do you say reluctantly, hum, I see, you will..., hey..., ouch! ”

Xiao Nuo's words were not finished, suddenly the car jolted violently, as if the horse was frightened, Xiao Nuo rolled down directly from the stool, Slaying Long held Xiao Nuo with one hand, Meng Tianchu was about to help, Slaying Long hurriedly stopped, and said: "Meng Ye, your injury is not healed yet, I will come." After speaking, he carefully helped Xiaonuo up.

Tu Long lifted the curtain and saw that Wang Yi had already jumped out of the car, sure enough, the horse was frightened, after Meng Tianchu was thrown once because of the horse in the market last time, he was much more careful since then, it seems that he should really take the path.

Dragon Slayer: "Wang Zhutou, what's going on?" ”

Wang Yi easily grabbed the horse, he was already sweating profusely, and said: "The two children are playing with spinning tops on the road, I think I didn't expect the horse to be frightened when I pulled the reins, so I picked up the pegs, but fortunately, the two children avoided it." ”

Meng Tianchu saw Xiao Nuo grinning and holding Xiao Man's waist, knowing that he must have fallen on his buttocks, but the man in the car was embarrassed to rub it, so he had to endure it, thinking of this, he poked his head out under the pretext of this, and saw that there were indeed too many people in the market, so he said: "Then let's turn our heads and walk the path." Don't disturb the people to rush to the market, in the future, I see that the first and fifteenth days of the first day of the new year in the big market will not allow horse-drawn carriages to walk in the market, and this rule must be issued as soon as possible. ”

Tu Long approvingly: "Lord Meng is right, for so many years in this Hangzhou Mansion, how many officials have not noticed this, it seems that Lord Meng has become the prefect, it is really a blessing for the people." ”

The carriage turned its head, walked out of the market, and entered a small road, this road used to be a convenient road pressed out by the common people when they were leading horses and mules, and after a long time, the road became more and more wide, and some merchants from other places spontaneously widened this road and made a commercial road, this road was sparsely populated on weekdays, and only in the morning and dusk when the market was rushed, there were more people.

Xiaonuo got better after a while, and began to be naughty again, saying some funny things that they had seen, and everyone listened and laughed, and before they knew it, they walked a long way.
