In the afternoon, there were fewer people walking around the village, so Cheng Xin took Mei Ran out of the door.

The sun was still a little sunny, and Mei Ran held an umbrella without saying a word, covering the top of her head.

She is a person who practices martial arts, and she usually walks briskly and quickly, but at the moment she slowed down and followed slowly.

Cheng Xin turned her head sideways, her eyes resting on her thick bangs.

"Mei Ran, aren't you hot?"

"It's not hot."

"I heard you had a good time last month."

"Yes."

"Then I haven't had time to give you a gift yet." Cheng Xin plucked a hairpin from his head: "I'll give this to you." ”

The pearl hairpin is very beautiful, it happens to be a plum blossom style, which was specially selected by Cheng Xin before going out.

Mei Ran stopped: "This is too precious." ”

"It is a very important day for a woman. Far from being comparable to a hairpin. Cheng Xin pulled Mei Ran and inserted the pearl hairpin into her hair: "I hope you can forget those unhappy days and start from the beginning." ”

Mei Ran lowered her head slightly, and her thick bangs covered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression at the moment.

Cheng Xin continued to walk forward.

Mei Ran is the same age as Min Qi, and she also entered the mansion in the same year, and she has been by the original owner's side for five years. After getting along for so long, but being sold, it was heartbreaking to think about it.

Cheng Xin is in the modern era, she has been in the martial arts hall since she was a child, and she knows the difficulties and hardships of practicing martial arts very well. Mei Ran has a familiar feeling on her body, and what she wants to ease most is the relationship with Mei Ran.

"Mei Ran, how long have you been practicing martial arts?"

"Since my wife sent me to Jiangnan, I have been practicing martial arts with Mr. Lin for five years."

"What else do you do besides practicing swords?"

Hearing this, Mei Ran was a little surprised, Miss Ke had never cared about this.

"Hidden weapons and light work."

Cheng Xin glanced at her with envy, these two items are not available in modern times.

"Would it be good to teach me to practice swords in the future?"

"Miss, this-" Mei Ran shook her head, "Madame won't allow it." ”

Cheng Xin knew that Mei Ran was just a pretext, and Duchess An Guo did not control her daughter like other nobles in the capital, and let her be free, so she would not stop her from practicing martial arts.

No, Cheng Xin didn't continue, she didn't want to force others.

At this time, Mrs. Chen ran over from the ridge and panted: "Miss, why are you going out at this hour, the sun is still very poisonous." ”

Of course she's in a hurry, she only has about four days of health left, and she doesn't care if it's in the sun or rain.

Cheng Xin said, "It's okay." You take an umbrella and lead the way. ”

"No, no, the old woman is a farmer who eats in the field, where would she be afraid of this."

Mrs. Chen walked ahead, passed through a few ridges, and came to the fence wall in the middle of the two Zhuangzi, and she shouted a few times to the farmhouse not far away.

Soon a man ran from the farmhouse.

The fence door was opened, and the man glanced at Cheng Xin, who was wearing a hood: "This is the young lady of the Guogong Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Chen snorted: "Why are you standing stupidly?" Don't hurry up and say hello to the young lady. ”

"Little Chen Gui, I've seen Miss." Chen Gui was busy with the rules and bowed.

"No need to be polite, I just want to eat a fresh loquat, so I don't have to bother me a lot." Cheng Xin said.

"Miss is so gracious. I heard that the third lady of our family and the young lady are handkerchiefs, you are here, and the little one must be entertained to you on behalf of the third lady. ”

Cheng Xin nodded, and walked forward with Mei Ran.

Chen Gui and Mrs. Chen were a few steps behind.

Chen Gui lowered his voice: "Auntie, you tell me the truth, this young lady is really here to pick loquats?" ”

"It's not for loquat, could it be that I'm coming to see you, the banker's boy?"

"Oh, auntie, I'm not kidding you. You don't know yet, our eldest lady was sent to Zhuangzi. I heard that the steward said that he offended Miss An Guogong and was sent for resettlement. ”

Mrs. Chen's face tightened: "Miss An Guogong? Isn't that the one! ”

"It's not her. This young lady must not have come to trouble our young lady, right? This is not good, although the eldest lady is not a favored person, but if something happens to her nephew Zhuangzi, the nephew will lose his errand, and his life will be lost. ”

"Oh, you bastard, why didn't you say it earlier. I didn't agree to her coming, so let's pick the loquat and send it away. ”

"That's why I just remembered this—"

At this moment, Cheng Xin turned around: "What do you think of?" ”

The two of them suddenly froze.

Chen Gui smiled awkwardly: "No, it's nothing." ”

"You don't hurry up." Mei Dye spoke.

"Hey, it's coming."

The two of them ran over hard, but they didn't dare to talk to each other again.

Chen Gui led the way in front, and seeing that the route he was leading was getting farther and farther away from Wen Yunxian's courtyard, Cheng Xin changed his course and walked towards the courtyard.

Chen Gui was shocked: "Miss, go this way, the loquat tree is here." ”

"I'm tired and want to rest."

Tired?

Hell, you've only taken a few steps, huh?

When his mother-in-law chased after him, he could run two mountains in a row without breathing.

Mrs. Chen was anxious, how could this young lady's legs be made like noodles, soft if she said it was soft.

It must have been said by his nephew that he was going to find trouble with Miss Wen.

Chen Gui pointed to a nearby courtyard and said, "Miss, the road ahead is not easy to walk. If you don't dislike it, go and sit in the small courtyard. ”

"I hate it." Cheng Xin continued to walk.

Chen Gui was choked like this, and he couldn't take anything he wanted to say.

Cheng Xin approached Wen Yunxian's courtyard and heard crying inside.

"Steward Wang, my young lady is sick, and this silver is for her to take medicine. You, you can't rob—"

"Bring it to you!" A fierce voice came through the courtyard wall: "What you brought that day, Lao Tzu is clear. You stole these five taels of silver, you girl. ”

"I don't, it's our young lady's."

"Bah, as a young lady's maid, you have done such a shameless thing, today I want to discipline you well for Miss. Come on, give me a good fight, fight to the death! ”

"Yes!" Someone answered, followed by screams and cries.

Five taels of silver!

Cheng Xin caught this keyword at once, the maid in the heroine's previous life was killed because of these five taels of silver.

Cheng Xin stepped forward quickly, and heard a weak cold drink from a girl: "Stop!" ”

Cheng Xin stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and through the gap in the middle of the door, he saw the girl who came out of the room with the door frame on the other side.

She looked like she was seriously ill, and her face was horribly pale. That slender body, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

"Hehe, I'll just say, miss, aren't you good, this maid actually cursed you sick, you should be beaten!"

"Steward Wang, if you do it again, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"

Wen Yunxian's eyes were cold, and she looked over with great intimidation.
