The Shen family's Zhuangzi is generally handed over to the old protégés who have worked in the Shen family for several generations, and this Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing accounts for a quarter of the Shen family's source of money, so the management of this Zhuangzi is more trusted by Shen Yunyu than ordinary protégés.

"Yesterday I sent you a pearl hairpin, I see that you like caryophyllus flowers very much, this Zhuangzi is full of caryophyllus, but it's a pity that Xiangyang can't compare to Luoyang, and you can't bloom such a gorgeous caryophyllus."

Shen Yunxiao turned over and dismounted, raised his hand and hugged Meng Jiao down, the little girl was very small, and there was almost no weight in her arms, Shen Yunxiao only felt distressed, and said slowly that the girls from other rich and noble families were the little girls he had saved at the border pass, and they were much stronger than Meng Jiao at this age.

"When I was seven or eight years old, one day I went to Zhuangzi to fetch water, and I saw a cluster of caryophyllum flowers, which bloomed brilliantly, about Luoyang caryophyllus, I really liked it, so I secretly put it in the bucket and brought it back."

"And then? Can it be fed? ”

"I fed it, but I was discovered by others, saying that an ominous person like me raised this kind of demonic flower, it must also be a bad omen, so I took the flower away, whether it was lost or burned, I don't know."

Now that she mentions it, Meng Jiao can already be light-hearted, just think about it, at that time, when the bush of flowers was snatched away by those mothers-in-law, she really cried heartbreakingly, crying that those caryophyllus were destroyed, and crying even more about the situation of being isolated and helpless at that time.

The porter that Shen Yunxiao took Meng Jiao to see was almost older than Lin Po, but he looked in good spirits, when the two of them approached him, the old man was playing with flowers and plants, and in autumn, all kinds of chrysanthemums bloomed luxuriantly under the old man's service, and there was a feeling of a hundred flowers competing in spring.

"Awn! Awn! ”

"Huh? Ouch, it's the little boy, why did the little boy come over? ”

The old man was old, and his ears were not very good, Shen Yunxiao screamed twice, he heard it, turned around slowly, recognized it, and recognized it as Shen Yunxiao, hurriedly dropped the hoe in his hand, and came over to say hello.

"Ah Weng don't be polite, I came here today because I want to ask you something."

"The little boy is polite, the life of the old man was saved by the Shen family, if the little boy wants to ask, just ask, the old man must know everything, and he will say everything!"

Shen Yunxiao smiled and nodded, and then pushed the little girl behind him out, but saw that the old man in front of him changed greatly the moment he saw Meng Jiao, Shen Yunxiao almost subconsciously pulled the little girl back behind him, he was not sure if Ah Weng wanted to hurt Meng Jiao.

Fortunately, the old man didn't mean to do it.

"Little boy, the old man is a little clumsy, how do you feel that this girl is so familiar?"

"Ah Weng feels familiar, this is Xue Guogong's granddaughter, Xue Wanxue's biological daughter."

As soon as these words came out, the old man was stunned on the spot, and it took a while to come to his senses, slowly bypassed Shen Yunxiao, and came to Meng Jiao's face, and carefully identified it, as if he had determined something.

"Like... It's so similar..."

"Awn? Too much like what? ”

"This girl is exactly the same as our young lady back then, the young lady is apricot eyes and peach cheeks, this girl's eyes are brighter, although the old man is dazzled, but he will not admit mistakes."

Shen Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief, since Ah Weng recognized Meng Jiao, then the next thing should be very easy.

It's just that I didn't expect that after the old man confirmed Meng Jiao's identity, he suddenly turned his back uncharacteristically, looking like that, it seemed that in an instant, he was very disgusted with Meng Jiao, not to mention Shen Yunxiao, even Meng Jiao was a little confused.

"Awn? Gillian came here this time to raid Xue Guogong's house, if you know something, you can tell her..."

"What is there to say! Back then, the old man was missed... was implicated by her mother, and in the end, she ended up in a situation where all the houses were copied and the family was ruined! Also, isn't the little boy's father also worried about her mother's affairs? The old man saw that the little boy was also very interested in this girl, so he had to remind him, the little boy should stay away from this girl, and don't go down the old path of your father back then! Don't follow in the footsteps of the master! ”

The old man's words were also to the point, Meng Jiao was a little incredulous, listening to this old man's words, how could it be because of her mother that her grandfather's family raided the house back then? Xue Guogong's case, what is going on, she has a thousand words to ask now, but she has to keep silent in the old man's cold attitude.

"Ah Weng, Gillian has nothing to do with what happened back then, she just wants to..."

"Little boy, the old man is still the same sentence, and Xue Wan's daughter, there is nothing to say, the little boy listens to the old man's words, it is best to cut off contact with her, if you don't listen, the old man can be regarded as saying the words, the two of you, please do it, the old man still has to serve the flowers and plants with peace of mind."

Shen Yunxiao wanted to say something more, but Meng Jiao pulled her sleeve from behind, turned around and looked at the little girl with a dark and inexplicable expression, and held Meng Jiao's hand with her backhand with some distress, and took her out of this courtyard.

"Ah Weng is the porter who has been following Xue Guogong, probably because Aunt Xue turned around and married Meng Zhongting after the defeat of the Xue family, he misunderstood Aunt Xue, or took his anger on Aunt Xue for what happened back then."

"In any case, the events of the year must have something to do with my mother, and I don't think the words and deeds of this old man today seem to have deliberately made up lies to discredit my mother, then, the things of the year must have been complicated, but... Brother Yunxiao, I just want to ask you, what kind of person is my mother in your eyes? ”

"Suave and elegant, like a spring flower."

In eight words, Xue Wan's descriptive smile was displayed in front of Meng Jiao's eyes, everyone was talking about Xue Wan's appearance, even if it was Liu Qingqing, who hated Xue Wan, whether it was sincere or false, she had to say a word that would captivate the country and the city, then her mother's beauty must be countable.

Moreover, what Shen Yunxiao said is gentle and elegant, so her mother must be a very gentle person, or in other words, too gentle, maybe a little cowardly?

"So, what about my mother's speech and behavior?"

"Everyone is beautiful, ordinary people generally don't see it, but the women in Yutang will dress up as men, but they have their own pride."

In this way, it is indeed not an ordinary lady, it should not be a cowardly person, so thinking about it like this, there is another thing that cannot be said, if her mother is not a person who can swallow her anger, if Meng Zhongting has done something back then, she should not hold it back.

Moreover, if Meng Zhongting had already colluded with Liu Qingqing at that time, her mother should not be defenseless and still dig out her heart and lungs to Liu Qingqing, in the middle, there must be something wrong, or rather, someone in the know deliberately said something wrong.

It seems that it is still necessary to find out what the secret of Xue Wan's death is first, and if you grasp Liu Qingqing's handle, you may be able to follow the vine and find a little clue about the year.
