The sound came from the ear room where Wanqin lived.

Xie Yingfen was a little breathless, her face changed slightly, and she turned around to walk towards the ear room. Xie Mulin grabbed her: "Fourth sister, calm down!" It's just that it broke something, maybe it's just an accidental hand slip, and it's not a big deal. ”

Xie Yingfen was stunned, and suddenly calmed down a lot: "Second sister is right. But to figure out what's going on, I'm going to take a look. ”

"The fourth sister just goes." "But don't panic. It sounded like Aunt Qin had broken something, either her hand slipped unexpectedly, or she heard some bad news, and she was excited for a while, and she was angry with something. If it is the former, then naturally there is nothing to say; If it's the latter, it's bad news for her now, but it's not bad news for the fourth sister. ”

Xie Yingfen thought about it, and sure enough, the whole person relaxed a lot, and she could smile at Xie Mulin: "Second sister, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Xie Mulin was relieved to let Xie Yingfen go to the ear room where Wanqin lived alone, and he continued to walk to the main room.

Wanqin lives in the north side of the ear room, in front of the house is a small patio, planted some flowers and trees, at the moment naturally there is nothing to mention, only a plum can barely be seen. Xie Yingfen walked through the patio and arrived at the door, when she heard Wanqin reprimanding Ginkgo in the house: "You are talking nonsense! You must be mistaken! ”

Ginkgo defended herself with a cry: "I'm really not mistaken! I inquired clearly, the shopkeeper of the cloth village said that there is only one Qiluo Fang in the entire Beiping City! The people of his family often come to this official residence, and robbed a lot of business from that cloth village, and the shopkeeper hated his family very much, and the news of his family was also clear. As soon as I heard that something had happened to the owner of Qiluofang, the Qiluofang was closed for two days and did not do business, and I gloated in front of people in the past few days. Her family's regular customers also know. I'm afraid I'm asking the wrong person, Tete asked, I understand, is the shopkeeper of Qiluofang she said surnamed Luo?! ”

Xie Yingfen was taken aback outside the door, she didn't expect such a change in Qiluofang.

Wanqin still didn't believe what Ginkgo said: "It must be that the shopkeeper is mistaken, how could the owner behind Qiluofang have an accident?!" She paused, probably thinking of something, and asked, "Then have you ever inquired who is the owner behind Qiluo Fang?" "If you want to come to the Cao family, the eyes and ears will not openly announce to the outside world who the real backstage of the family is. If the shopkeeper of Nabu Zhuang knew that she was laughing at the Cao family, I am afraid that she would have been frightened a long time ago?

Ginkgo said to Wanqin: "I also inquired with the shopkeeper about this matter, she didn't know clearly, she only knew that it was a very wealthy family in the south, and it seemed that it was still a relative of the emperor, but which one it was, Qiluofang never said." The wives of some eunuchs inquired about the shopkeeper of his family, and they only said that it was a rumor and could not be true. But none of the official eunuchs in Beiping City really believed that it was just a rumor. However, among the regular customers of Buzhuang, there is a family member of the official family who lives nearby, she is a person from Jiangnan, and recently heard that the Lin family in the capital is not very stable, and it happens that this Qiluofang has an accident recently, so he guesses that the backer behind his family, eighty percent is surnamed Lin. ”

Wanqin sneered: "The Lin family is also worthy?" Joke! She lowered her head and pondered, feeling that since the eyes and ears of the Cao family wanted to open a store in Beiping, and they didn't want to expose their true roots, even if they pretended to be the name of the old enemy Lin family, it would not be surprising. Anyway, the Lin family doesn't have any relatives and henchmen who are officials in Beiping, how do you know the truth of this rumor? The Lin family has had an accident recently, and there is nothing surprising, his family has already shown its defeat, and sooner or later there will be such a day. But why is Kira Fang closed at this time? Could it be that something happened to the shopkeeper couple?

Wanqin was secretly anxious in her heart. Although she can't make up her mind for the time being, she wants to get in touch with the eyes and ears of the Cao family and officially start doing things for Cao Wentai, but she always has to find a way to open her own conditions, let the Cao family take action, and ensure that her daughter and son's marriage has an eyebrow, so that she can rest assured that she can do something. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too stupid for her to risk angering her husband at all?! Therefore, she must figure out where the eyes and ears of the Cao family are, and she can summon them at any time, and if there is a risk, she will not mention it first, so that she can really take the initiative, but in this process, the people of the Cao family do not need to know that she has this plan, let alone take the initiative to urge her.

But if she can't have open contact with the people of Qiluofang, and she wants to know what happened to Qiluofang, it will be very troublesome. Just relying on a few girls to go out to inquire about the news, the harvest is always limited. She couldn't be too public, lest the rest of the family notice.

Wanqin was still worried there, Xie Yingfen had already pushed the door and walked in, and immediately woke up the former, and put on an unnatural smile: "Why did you come here at this time?" Neither knocking on doors. You've already seen Brother Han, right? How is he today? ”

"The fourth brother is very good." Xie Yingfen sat down on the side of the kang, glanced at Wanqin a few times, and then looked at Ginkgo. Ginkgo quickly exchanged glances with her, and then lowered her head.

Wanqin didn't know that her daughter was in the same group as the big girl who was close to her, for fear that her daughter would ask why she was scolding the girl, so she hurriedly opened the ginkgo: "What are you doing stupidly?" The girl is here, you go get the heat***. He smiled at Xie Yingfen again, "Mrs. ordered someone to send it over in the morning, saying that people here are used to eating this, and I can't stand the taste, so I put it aside." But I heard that girls eat this well, which can make the skin plump and white, and the four girls just tasted it. ”

Xie Yingfen now has milk to drink from time to time, and the second sister Xie Mulin also persuaded her sister and brother to eat more, which is not uncommon, just to avoid wasting things on her aunt. She asked Wanqin directly: "What did my aunt just scold Ginkgo?" What shop are you asking about? Why is it related to the Lin family again? The Lin family is the enemy of the Cao family, but what does it have to do with us? What do you care about them? ”

Wanqin only listened to half of it, and hurriedly smiled: "It's just a few words of gossip in the market, let's talk about it casually, why should the girl care?" ”

Xie Yingfen asked again: "What did my aunt break before?" You can't fall to get angry, right? I heard all the voices in the yard. ”

Wanqin defended again: "It was because my hand slipped and accidentally broke it." ”

Xie Yingfen looked at her deeply: "Auntie didn't hurt her hand, right?" ”

"It's fine." Wanqin pretended to be fine, picked up the needle and thread on the kang table, and changed the topic, "The girl came here when she heard the voice, right?" I said, I haven't seen you come to sit with me lately, why did you suddenly come here today? I thought the girl hated me for the simplicity of my house. ”

The ear room where Wanqin lives is actually not simple, it is quite a spacious room, there are windows in the front and back, the ventilation is good, but the lighting is poor. There is a big kang in the house, and the people who live and sit and lie on the kang on weekdays, and other wardrobes, cages, dressers, tables and chairs are also readily available, and all daily necessities, Wen's has provided high-quality goods. Compared with the three wings opened by Wanqin when she was in the capital, as well as the separate courtyard in Huyin's hometown, this small ear room with a patio is naturally far behind. Wanqin only felt that she had been neglected, and coupled with the matter of apologizing to Granny Shi, she was resentful in her heart, almost resentful.

But if she doesn't live here, where else can she live? Although there are many courtyards in this official residence, the eight young masters and young ladies each occupy one, and even the old lady Xie and the Song family live in a large courtyard, and the family is full, where else can Wanqin be arranged?

Xie Yingfen looked at her biological mother and remembered that she had taken care of her sick brother for several days in a row, and it was not until these two days that she could settle down a little, and she knew that she had drilled the tip of the horns, and she was afraid that it would be impossible to reverse it easily.
