When Father Xue was inexplicable, Yingying was also in the clouds. Miss Liniang of Lord Yin's family took the initiative to visit, and she even brought gifts. Most of the gifts brought by Meng Liniang were rouge gouache from her daughter's house, among which there was a piece of soap, and in addition to that, there was a long strip of brocade box, what was in the box, Liniang didn't say, and Yingying didn't want to ask.

Ying Ying didn't know how to flatter the second generation of officials, and Miss Meng also slapped the table with her father before coming to the door, it was strange that the two could have a common language, and they were speechless...... Of course, there were no tears.

Chen Xu came back from the martial arts hall, and Yingying introduced Miss Meng. Chen Xu nodded as an acquaintance, looking at the brocade box on the table, he smiled heartily, this Master Meng is still quite good.

The woman's house was chatting, Chen Xu didn't want to move forward with a shy face, so he went to accompany his daughter after a confession.

"This is my husband." Ying Ying didn't have anything to say.

"Fortunately, fortunately." Miss Meng also agreed, but what she thought in her heart was that it was no wonder that Ying Ying was willing to marry, but it turned out to be a little white face.

Then continuing to be cold, Baoyu suddenly reported that Miss Dou'er was back.

Seeing Dou'er, Meng Liniang pulled out her saber with a "bang", and the deliberately pretended temperament of everyone's ladies was gone.

Dou'er ignored Miss Meng and the steel knife in her hand, she just glanced at Ying Ying, "I have already taught Shi Ying a lesson for you." ”

After saying this, Dou'er turned around and was about to leave, and from beginning to end, her gaze did not stay on Miss Meng for a moment.

"Stop! You are not allowed to go, I will fight you in a duel. ”

Miss Meng stood up suddenly, accidentally knocked over the gift she brought, scattered the rouge gouache on the ground, and the brocade box containing the military thorn was broken.

Meng Liniang was a little embarrassed, and then thought that it was the gift she brought anyway, and she turned it over, and it was a big deal to let her father reprimand her and figure out this trick. She was relieved; Ying Ying looked at the strange-shaped "dagger" with some curiosity, what does Miss Meng mean by this? She likes to dance with knives and guns, should she also adhere to this principle when giving gifts? Of course, Ying Ying didn't understand why Miss Meng came to the door to give gifts for no reason; Dou'er didn't care about the spilled rouge gouache, nor did she care about the strange-looking dagger, she just stared at the soap.

Dou'er once had such a bar of soap, which was given to her by her eldest brother, and she still hasn't been willing to use it. Of course, Dou'er inquired about the market of soap, and it is no exaggeration to say that that the soap is definitely worth more than the same volume of gold, but he didn't expect the gift given by the eldest brother to him to be so precious. Dou'er felt so happy.

The soap is not so indiscriminately "wasted", Dou'er picked up the soap, wiped off the dirt, and gently put it on the table.

"I'm going to duel you." Meng Liniang blocked Dou'er's way, the failure was her biggest shame, she practiced hard these days in the hope that she could defeat Dou'er one day, how could she give up such a good opportunity?

Dou'er shook her head slightly, she wanted to bypass Miss Meng but failed.

"What? Don't you dare? Miss Meng said defiantly.

"You can't beat me."

Dou'er's words simply added fuel to the fire, and Miss Meng was so angry that her face turned white. "The last time I lost to you was just a moment of carelessness on the part of this girl, if you don't believe it, we might as well make a bet," he said. Miss Meng looked at the soap that Dou'er put on the table, "You must know the value of this soap, if you can still win me, this soap is yours." But if you lose, then you have to openly admit that your skills are not as good as others. ”

Ying Ying wanted to speak and stopped, the soap had already been given to herself. Miss Meng, how can you bet on it again? But think about it, she is a young lady from an official family, and her own family can't afford to mess with her.

Dou'er stared at the soap for a long time, and she muttered to herself, "Although the soap is precious, it wasn't given by him after all." ”

After speaking, Dou'er turned around and left, letting Miss Meng jump to provoke, and she ignored it.

Chen Xu heard the quarrel, he walked out with Xi'er in his arms to take a look, but all he saw was Dou'er's back.

"Xianggong, Miss Meng, Dou'er is this temperament, don't mind it."

Miss Meng was inconvenient in front of Chen Xu, but she reluctantly responded, Chen Xu heard the name "Dou'er", he suddenly remembered the little girl he had saved, he hadn't seen her for a few years, she was already a big girl, but why was her back so lonely? She was just a child back then, so those unpleasant experiences shouldn't have affected her, right?

Miss Meng took the opportunity to say goodbye, and Yingying talked to Chen Xu about Miss Meng.

The son-in-law of Lord Yin.

Ying Ying felt strange, but Chen Xu was clear in her heart.

"Xianggong, what kind of dagger is this? It's weird. Ying Ying picked up the spur and pulled it out of its scabbard and asked.

"Don't touch it with your hands, it's poisonous."

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Yingying threw the general thorn out as if she had been electrocuted, Xi'er was startled, she hurriedly hid behind Chen Xu, holding his thighs with both hands and secretly looking at Yingying.

"Girl, don't be afraid, it's okay." Chen Xu was amused by his daughter's expression, and he took her little hand and said. Ying Ying was also a little embarrassed, she said suspiciously, "Really? This was sent by Miss Meng. ”

Chen Xu looked at Yingying, he suddenly thought of Meng Yao, how much he wished she could ask him another question.

"You can see from the color of the blade that this thing contains arsenic, arsenic you can understand as arsenic that everyone often says, as long as this guy cuts his body, it is not easy to heal." Chen Xu explained to Ying Ying in as plain language as possible.

"You... How do you know this? Ying Ying felt more and more strange.

"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and it's better to read countless people than to read 10,000 miles. Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Nasty!" Ying Ying said angrily, "This thing can't cut people, can it just stab people to death by stabbing them into their bodies?" ”

General Chen Xu stabbed back into the scabbard and explained, "Of course, if this thing pierces any part of the human body more than two inches, it can kill people instantly. ”

Ying Ying obviously didn't believe it, "How do you know? You haven't tried again. ”

"This thorn is mine."

"Nonsense!"

Chen Xu told the truth, but Yingying didn't believe it. Chen Xu didn't argue, he just told Sù Yingying, "This military thorn is a controlled knife, you don't need to use it as much as possible, I'll put it away for you for the time being." After speaking, Chen Xu grabbed the soap on the table again, "I'll borrow it for Xi'er to bathe first, and I'll pay you back two pieces later." Xi'er, let's go back to the room and wash our hands. ”

Yingying: "......"

Speaking of Miss Meng, she was called to the study by Master Meng as soon as she entered the house.

"The gift has been delivered to the Chen family?"

Miss Meng nodded, and she suddenly asked, "Daddy, why do you have to ask me to give gifts to others in person?" You just let you send soap, why send a strange-looking dagger? ”

Hearing his daughter's words, Master Meng only felt a thunderclap on a sunny day, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"You... Did you open the box? ”

Although Miss Meng is competitive, although she also talks back to her father, her father is angry, and she is definitely a donkey.

"No, I didn't open it," Master Meng's face softened slightly, and Miss Meng said again, "I accidentally bumped into the table, and I didn't want to knock over the brocade box and fall on the ground......"

"Get on your knees!" Lord Meng was angry, and with his shouting and scolding, Miss Meng knelt down in front of her father with a "plop", looking at her father's iron blue face, she regretted a little that she shouldn't tell the truth.

A white lie is the greatest comfort to my father, and it's not good for my father to be angry.

"Do you think you can do something? Wouldn't it be a joke for a girl to say it frizzily? In the future, you are not allowed to go to the martial arts hall again, let alone fight and kill......"

"Daddy......" Miss Meng suddenly became anxious, if she was not allowed to go to the martial arts hall, let her abandon Wu Congwen and hide in the boudoir all day long to embroider flowers and birds, she would rather die.

"Shut up!" Master Meng shouted violently, "Let me ask you, have you ever seen the girl of the Xue family," after a pause, he added, "And his husband." ”

"See," Miss Meng pouted, she really didn't understand why her father, who was a dignified mansion, was so concerned about the Chen couple.

Master Meng comforted himself that as long as Chen Shangshu saw the military assassination, he should be able to understand his intentions.

"Li Niang, what kind of person is that Chen Gongzi?" Lord Meng thought about his daughter's temperament, of course he didn't dare to tell the truth, he wanted to cover up and said, "The third girl of the Xue family actually married a beggar... The beggar husband, being a father is indeed a little curious. ”

Miss Meng pursed her lips, "It's just a little white face, Jinling Mansion says that the Xue family's female show is outside Huizhong, Yunwen Yunwu, and according to her daughter, she is just a secular person." ”

Master Meng had a toothache when he heard this, he had already heard that Chen Shangshu was a talent, and Miss Xue was the real insight. If her daughter knew that the protagonist she was most about was her so-called "little white face", I really don't know how she would feel.

"Get up."

"Daddy, aren't you angry?"

Master Meng snorted angrily, "You went to your mother to learn the family law, the son doesn't teach, the father is wrong, you are not allowed to go anywhere these days, just think about it behind closed doors at home." ”

When Miss Meng heard this, she just wanted to slap herself in the face, which was all caused by her mouth......

Master Meng used the power of the yamen to cover up the tragedy of Yixiaolou for Chen Xu, he may be able to hide it from the people of Jinling, but he can't hide it from the eyes and ears of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

How can Yin of Jinling Mansion help exonerate the murderer? Is there some secret in this? If Yin of Jinling Mansion really has a bad intention, they will never be polite.

The arrogant Jinyi Wei Qianhu and the domineering Dongchang stall head learned that the "murderer" was holding a military stab, and they instantly changed their attitudes; Thinking of the autopsy results of the Yixiaolou tragedy, a deadly, crisp and neat move, the only person who can develop murder into an art is the wolf's tooth and the person who single-handedly created the wolf's tooth.

Regardless of whether it is the former or the latter, they have no right to intervene, and the secret letter from Jinyiwei and Dongchang arrived in the capital almost at the same time......

Of course, the people of Jinling do not know the undercurrent of these days, the sunrise and the day is resting, after tea and dinner, they talk about the trivial matters of the east family and the west family, among which the most talked-about is the Jinling garrison stone for his son to propose marriage to the Zhu family......
