When Lin Miao returned to Linjia Village, she really went straight to Zhang Xi'er's house, and pushed the door in without knocking on the door.

Zhang Le'er came out of the room when she heard the sound, and when she saw that it was Lin Miao, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Yue, Sister Yue, why are you here?" ”

Lin Miao's face was full of anger, her eyes were red, and she asked sharply, "What about your sister?" Where did she lock up Zhuangzhuang? ”

Zhang Le'er was stunned, and said after a while: "How could my sister lock up Zhuangzhuang?" She went to the temple fair early in the morning. ”

Lin Miao took a deep breath: "She was tied up at the temple fair, hasn't she come back yet?" ”

"It's impossible, my sister can't tie people..."

Before Zhang Le'er finished speaking, Zhang Xi'er's mother and daughter came back.

Zhang Xi'er saw Lin Miao standing in the courtyard of her house, and hurriedly shouted, "Lin Yue, what are you doing at my house?" I don't want to see you, you get out of here..."

Lin Miao turned around sharply and walked quickly to pull her: "What about Zhuangzhuang?" Where did you put him? ”

"Strong?"

Zhang Xi'er looked dazed, "I didn't see him." ”

"You..."

Before Lin Miao's questioning words could be spoken, Zhang Huang said: "Sister Yue'er, don't frame people, Xi'er has been with me today, and we haven't seen Zhuangzhuang." ”

"It's really not you?" Lin Miao's brows furrowed.

Is she looking in the wrong direction?

Who will Zhang Xi'er be?

"Your family is gone? Where are you missing, have you found it? Zhang Huang asked.

She is also a mother, and when she thinks of losing a child, she can't help but ask with concern.

Lin Miao slowly returned to her senses, looking at the mother and daughter in front of her, she thought for a while and asked, "At the temple fair, have you seen the girl who knows me?" Seventeen or eighteen years old. ”

The two thought for a moment and shook their heads in unison.

There are too many people today, crowded people, where can you take care of people?

"Don't tell my father and mother about this, I'll get Zhuang back right away."

Lin Miao said and walked out directly.

Zhang Xi'er snorted: "I'll tell." ”

Lin Miao turned around and glanced at the knife, and said coldly: "I'm worried that I have nowhere to vent, and I don't mind if you bump into it." ”

After getting into the carriage, Ji Xiang looked at Lin Miao, who had a gloomy face, and asked, "Where to go next?" ”

"Back in town, didn't she ask for a ransom? I'll give it to her and see if she has a life flower. ”

……

Lin Xi was dressed very plainly, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he was a subordinate or something, so Liu Chengfeng only glanced at it and said, "Apologize?" What apologies? He's nothing, and I don't apologize. ”

"Are you sure?" Chen Xiuling raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "I remember that Mr. Yuan highly respected my grandfather's calligraphy and paintings, and I don't know if he would agree if I gave him a pair and asked him not to give you a scientific examination." ”

Yuan Zhiyuan, the dean of Chuanyuan County College, loved calligraphy and painting, which was famous.

I've always wanted to ask for a pair of old calligraphy and paintings, but I've been suffering from no chance.

If you can really give it to him, let alone the scientific examination, you can be expelled from the academy immediately.

Liu Chengfeng didn't expect that this Miss Chen was the young lady of the Chen family.

What to do?

He should have asked first.

Just when he couldn't pull his face to apologize but was worried that Chen Xiuling would really send calligraphy and paintings to their dean, Lin Miao's carriage came back.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, everyone looked at each other.

Seeing that it was a familiar person, Lin Xi hurriedly walked over, and before the person got closer, he asked, "Did Zhuang Zhuang find it?" ”

He was eager to hear a response that he had found it.

Unfortunately, he was doomed to disappointment.

There was a hoarse voice in the carriage, just two words: "No." ”

Lin Xi's heart shrank, and he felt that he couldn't breathe, and he stared blankly at the carriage and slowly stopped.

Lin Miao lifted the curtain, and her gloomy expression was still on her face.

After she got out of the carriage, she walked up to Lin Xi and said, "Brother, don't worry, it's only fifty taels, I'll give it to her." ”

"Will he really let go of Zhuang Zhuang after giving him the silver?" Lynsey murmured unconsciously.

Lin Miao patted his arm: "She will." ”

After speaking, he walked in front of Chen Xiuling and said, "Xiuling, you go back first, and you can pass on any news to me." ”

Chen Xiuling glanced at her, and then her eyes fell on Liu Chengfeng, the meaning was obvious, the apology had not passed.

Liu Chengfeng clenched his fists, and swallowed the apology he wanted to say again.

He didn't believe that Miss Chen would waste a painting of Old Chen in order to make him apologize to a subordinate.

You know, Old Chen has passed away.

His calligraphy and paintings are speculated at sky-high prices on the market, how can they be used to do such a simple thing?

His stubbornness made Chen Xiuling hook the corners of her mouth, and then turned around and walked out to get into the carriage.

The carriage drove away.

Back at Chen's house, when Chen Xiuling's carriage entered the gate, the porter quietly handed a letter to the car.

When Chen Xiuling was a housekeeper for a long time, there were her people in many places in the Chen Mansion.

When she got the letter, she glanced at it, and between the lightning and flint, a bold guess formed in her heart, and she hurriedly said: "Go back to Linglong Pavilion directly." ”

Linglong Pavilion.

The yard was quiet, with only a few servants cleaning.

When they saw Chen Xiuling, they hurriedly stopped and said goodbye: "Hello, eldest lady." ”

Chen Xiuling hummed and went directly into the room.

Ye Qing, who was lagging behind, looked at them and asked, "What about the others?" ”

There are four big girls, eight second-class girls, twelve third-class girls and servants.

The master is not there, and the courtyard is so quiet, it is impossible.

Ye Qing's status in Linglong Pavilion was second only to Chen Xiuling, so the servants didn't dare not answer her question.

A woman in her forties, dressed in a sky-blue cotton robe, hurriedly replied, "Back to Miss Ye Qing's words, the other girls have gone to listen to Yuxuan and wait." ”

The maid of Linglong Pavilion was transferred to listen to Yuxuan?

Is there a shortage of maids in Chen's house?

Ye Qing felt very inexplicable, the maids who were not assigned to the courtyard in the Chen Mansion were dozens of them, so they would need to listen to Yuxuan's tune?

"Who is listening to Yuxuan?" Ye Qing asked.

"Young Master and Miss are listening to Yuxuan entertaining the future uncle and young master cousin, as well as the young lady cousin." The woman replied.

Ye Qing was a little indignant when she heard this, the little young master had food restraint, and after her young lady was busy, these people didn't care at all, and they still partyed, it was really too much!

When she entered the house, she immediately told Chen Xiuling about her resentment.

Chen Xiuling didn't care about this, and instructed Ye Zi, another big girl in her house, to prepare paper, ink, pen and inkstone for her.

Seeing this, Ye Qing asked, "Miss, what are you going to do?" ”

Chen Xiuling smiled and wrote on a small piece of rice paper.

After writing, she said in a voice that she could only hear clearly: "Don't you like to force others? Then I'll let you feel what it's like to be strong. ”

Ye Qing has followed Chen Xiuling since she was a child, she is also literate, and when she looked at the address above, her doubts fermented in her heart.

Soon it swelled to the point that she couldn't help but ask out loud, "Miss, what is this?" ”

This font is something she hasn't seen before, how many fonts does Miss know?

Chen Xiuling did not answer, folded the paper and sealed it in an envelope, and ordered: "Prepare the carriage, I want to go out." ”

"Miss, you've just come back..."
