After the children left, Jin Niang asked Mama and the maid to retreat, and the house was quiet for a while.

Jin Niang had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Xu Erlang, but there were too many questions, and she didn't know how to open her mouth for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Erlang looked at her with a smile, "What are you thinking?" ”

"When did you know that Your Majesty and Jieyu Niangniang would come to the Xu family on the second day of junior high school?"

Xu Erlang said, "If you want to know anything, just ask me." ”

Jin Niang hated him, "You are also a saw-mouthed gourd, you have to wait for me to ask everything, why don't you take the initiative to tell me?" If you had told me about it in advance, would I have been caught off guard? You don't know, at first I guessed that His Majesty and Jieyu Niangniang were going to come together, and I thought that Pian Pian had only one way to enter the palace. I was scared to death, right? If you don't give me a preventive shot in advance, it will hurt me, and my heartbeat will stop. ”

Xu Erlang seemed to be teasing, touched the place she mentioned, and then said, "Isn't this a good dance?" ”

"You're still kidding me, I'm really angry."

Xu Erlang saw that he was about to provoke people, but he didn't dare to tease her again, so he could only appease people first, and then honestly tell the matter from beginning to end.

It turned out that since the day Xu Wenqing got married, Pingxi Hou opened his mouth and told him about sending Pian Pian into the palace, and the alarm bell rang in his heart, and he was interested in Pingxi Hou's mansion.

His specific manifestation is that he arranged for Tonghe and Quhe to keep an eye on the Pingxi Hou Mansion day and night. But if there is any difference between the personnel of Pingxi Hou Mansion and usual, let the two of them report.

In addition, even Pingxi Hou's henchman, the chief housekeeper of Pingxi Hou's Mansion, is also eyeing it. No matter who he saw on weekdays, what he said, or where he went, he remembered it carefully and carefully, and there was no room for the slightest ambiguity.

Pingxi Hou treats the chief butler like a confidant, and many things are inconvenient for him to come forward, or he is too busy to come forward, and this big butler will handle them on his behalf.

Therefore, Tonghe and Huhe set their sights on this person, and they also caught a big fish, and it was easy to find out that Pingxi Hou wanted to go off the rails with his sword and was ready to try to trick Emperor Yunwen out of the palace.

When Jin Niang heard this, she couldn't help but say out loud, "I know this, when I was hiding with Pian Pian before, I heard Emperor Yunwen and the eunuchs around me say this, and I vaguely guessed it." ”

Jin Niang will have a pain in her abdomen, and they were designed to go to that uninhabited yard. She said it simply, which involved the part of Pianpian's abdominal pain, and even said it in one sentence, even the place where she and Pianpian hid only hinted at Xu Erlang, but did not say it explicitly.

After all, Pian Pian is also a big girl, she wants face, as a sister-in-law, she has to work hard to maintain the face of a beautiful girl, and strive not to let anyone make fun of her. This naturally also includes Pianpian's second brother, her good husband Xu Yi.

But what kind of person is Xu Erlang? He is brilliant, although he can't be called a wise and close demon, but he is not an ordinary person. Such a man can easily play with his opponent in the palm of his hand, how can he not hear what Jin Niang is hiding from him?

Besides, even if Jin Niang covers it up, what's the use? His people were watching at the time, but because His Majesty had one or two secret guards in front of him, they didn't dare to lean in front of him for fear of being discovered. But the location where they are hiding is actually not far from Jinniang and Pianpin, so it is very easy to notice the movements of the two.

Afterwards, the two reported to him, and he naturally knew that the two of them had to hide in Gong's room when they were forced to do so.

When I heard it before, I felt stuffy in my chest, and I wanted to laugh faintly, but because there were many people at that time, he couldn't help it, and then listened to Jinniang's secretive words at this time, but Xu Erlang couldn't bear it, buried his head directly on her shoulder, and laughed loudly.

Jin Niang: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xu Erlang touched her hair, and said to Jin Niang, "Trust me Jin Niang, you won't want to know that I'm laughing or something." ”

The husband and wife have been working for a few years, although Jin Niang can't see through Xu Erlang's thoughts, but sometimes, occasionally, she can still understand him, such as at this time.

Jin Niang knew that it must have been known to him about the embarrassing things she and Pianpian had done, so this person laughed. As soon as this speculation came out, Jin Niang was like a critical attack. Oops, against all odds, her little fairy's mask was still taken off. This made her feel a little emotional, and she was not very happy.

Xu Erlang saw her pursing red lips and looking complaining, and couldn't help laughing loudly. Then he took Jinniang in his arms and rubbed two handfuls well.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, it was useless to think about it, and she didn't bother to bother with him anymore. He simply glanced at him twice, changed the subject, and said, "I want to talk about the little eunuch, I promise, he must have noticed me and Pianpin, but he pretended not to see it, and walked straight past the door where we were hiding, which shouldn't be." Do you know that little eunuch? ”

Xu Erlang nodded, "There was a one-sided relationship." ”

"So coincidentally?"

"It's not a coincidence. It was I who thought of the people that Emperor Yunwen might bring with him when he left the palace this time, and made a point in advance. ”

"How did you do that?"

Xu Erlang said, "There was a big flood in his hometown, and the whole village fled." He was lucky to be with his parents, brother and sister-in-law, but the rest of them all died, and he was the only one alive. His brother and sister-in-law's family also had a child, who was only nine years old at the time, but unfortunately he was scattered. Even adults can't survive, and it's naturally even more difficult for a child to survive. The eunuch thought that his nephew was also dead, and felt that there was nothing to love in life, so he simply went to the palace to be a eunuch, not wanting to ......"

"Don't want his nephew to be alive?"

"Yes."

Jin Niang's eyes blinked and looked at Xu Erlang, "Have you seen that person before?" ”

"Not only have I seen it, but it's in our house."

"So coincidentally?"

"There's something more coincidental." Xu Erlang said, "That kid has a mark the size of a copper coin on his face, and it stands to reason that you should remember him." He was a rough servant in the courtyard of Changping, and if it weren't for his obvious appearance, I wouldn't have thought of him at the time. ”

A servant with a birthmark the size of a copper coin on his face in the courtyard of Changping?

It's a coincidence, this person Jin Niang does remember.

It's just because this kid can't beat three farts with a stick, and he can't be honest anymore.

He doesn't mix well in Changping's yard, he will always be bullied, and he doesn't know how to argue and resist, like a fool. For this reason, the older ones always like to make him do some dirty work, and always give him the worst in terms of food and shelter. As a result, although he is more than ten years old, he is still thin and small like a child, and he looks very pitiful.

This is why His Majesty Jin Niang is very strict, and when he saw this, he punished those servants who bullied people, so that he stopped this unhealthy trend, and the kid could eat more and grow more meat. Otherwise, people in their teens have not grown tall and fat, and the parents of that person have seen it, and they have to think that they have abused their children, so can they still cooperate well with Xu Erlang?

Jin Niang is truly aware of the power of the word "cause and effect" at this moment.

Because she was kind and helped the kid, the kid's uncle saved her and Pianpin's lives.

This reward is too generous compared to her previous efforts.

Jin Niang made up her mind at this time that she would still do more good deeds and accumulate virtue in the future. Even if she can't receive a return in her lifetime, I hope that when her children and grandchildren are in trouble in the future, someone will lend a helping hand at a critical time, and this will live up to what she is doing today.

Feeling a bit of karma, Jin Niang asked the little white flower girl again.

Xu Erlang told the life of that person, Jin Niang heard that the girl's parents were dead, and several cousins brazenly seized her family wealth, not to mention, and even prepared to give her to the septuagenarian as a concubine, and suddenly beat the bed in anger, and her teeth creaked.

She felt that this girl was so pitiful, why did she fall into such a den of tigers and wolves. If the girl's parents had been spiritual, and they had seen their relatives behave like this, they would have been so angry that they would have crawled out of the grave even if they died.

Jin Niang was taking pity on the girl, and she listened to Xu Erlang coldly that the girl was jealous of Mrs. Shizi's failure to help, and was ready to hook up with Xu Wenhao to be small, and she had already taken action...... Jin Niang's blood suddenly cooled down.

She is in favor of this girl's revenge, but ah girl, your direction of revenge is a little off.

Shouldn't it be your cousins who are the first to be jealous and the first to take revenge?

Could it be that because Mrs. Shizi is a woman, you think it is easier to deal with, so you are ready to pick her first?

said that he was preparing to make a move on Mrs. Shizi, but in fact, he didn't see the power and wealth of the Hou Mansion, on the one hand, he wanted to get rid of the threat of his cousins, and if he was lucky, he could also claim his family wealth back; On the other hand, I don't want to climb the high branches and live a good life without worry.

This girl, this approach, Jin Niang really can't agree.

She is disgusted with those little girls being small, thinking that they don't love themselves, and she is also worried that they will provoke the separation of husband and wife, the resentment of children, and the separation of the family alive. But the girl did what she didn't like the most, and did what she thought was right.

This made Jinniang unable to evaluate. After all, she really didn't agree with what she did, but then again, under the circumstances, she couldn't do anything else except give up her body to climb up in exchange for a glimmer of life. was born as a weak woman, this is her greatest sorrow. But she didn't succumb to fate, and thought about tossing, which didn't seem to be an exaggeration.

In the end, Jin Niang couldn't judge this, so she simply stopped thinking about her.

After talking about Xiaobaihua, and talking about Pingxi Hou and his wife, Jin Niang asked, "Master Hou and Mrs. Hou should be able to think that you did this, right?" ”

"I think it will."

"Did you handle it cleanly? Leave the handle or not? ”

"It's all taken care of. But even if they can't get hold of it, they will definitely recognize that this matter has something to do with me. Xu Erlang said softly, "There are some things that don't need evidence, just look at who benefits the most in the end, and who is the one behind it." ”

Then you're the one behind your back and you're not running.

Jin Niang was a little worried, "Will the Hou Ye hold a grudge against you?" ”

"Probably not. There will be jealousy of me, but holding grudges is not enough. "After all, the people of the Xu clan can make a very limited move now, and he is obviously the one who is in the emperor's heart. Even if Pingxihou was a little unhappy with his self-assertion, it was useless to say anything about the matter. He doesn't hold a grudge against him, and he doesn't show it to his face. At most, it is just to make some stumbling blocks for him in some later things, teach him a lesson, and let him learn to be obedient.

The husband and wife chattered, and soon it was dinner time.

Several of the children were tired today, so they didn't come to eat. They all sent someone to greet Jinniang, and they rested with food in their respective rooms.

Jinniang didn't sleep well this night, because when she slept until midnight, the door was knocked on by Qinghe.

Qinghe said outside, "The old lady has a high fever, and Mama Li is anxious, so she hurriedly sent someone to inform the master and the lady." ”

Mother Xu was frightened today, and it was a little cool to watch the play in the second half of the night, and it was normal to be hot at night.

Gui Niangzi diagnosed the pulse, prescribed medicine, and asked Xu Mu to pour a bowl of soothing soup, just do it.

Pian Pian also got up and came over, she saw that Jin Niang couldn't stop yawning, so she whispered, "Sister-in-law, go back and rest first, I'll guard my mother's place." Sister-in-law hurry up and go to sleep, tomorrow I will accompany my second brother to the master's house to pay New Year's greetings. ”

This is true, but it is not okay to let the sister-in-law guard it alone, after all, she is still a little girl. And she was also worried about this day, and she was thrilling, and now she needs someone to appease her.

If she leaves, leaving behind an unconscious Xu Mu, the soul of Pianpian who does not belong to Pianpian will not be able to control her crying nose.

Jin Niang said, "I'll stay with my mother for a while, and when my mother's fever subsides, I'll go back." ”

Xu Erlang also stayed, and sat on the Nanmu carved chair in the outer room to drink tea.

In the room, Jin Niang said something that diverted Pianpian's attention, and Pianpian couldn't remember the day's events anymore.

Seeing that at dawn, Xu's mother finally had a fever and woke up. Mama Li brought a bowl of white porridge, and Jinniang served Mother Xu to drink half a bowl, and watched her fall asleep again.

At this time, it was already dawn, and Jinniang had to go back to wash and change clothes, and put on makeup. After that, I had to accompany Xu Erlang to the bachelor's house, and the time was also very rushed. So the two of them explained a few words to Pianpian and asked her to keep it well, if Xu's mother was hot again after that, they would send a message to the Zhangyuan Bachelor's Mansion, and she and Xu Erlang would come back immediately.

Pian Pian reassured like this, and Jin Niang and Xu Erlang left.

After that, he took Chang'an Changping and Suxuan Suzheng to be guests, and as for Changle and Xiaoyuer, they were all left at home by Jinniang.

Xiao Yu'er's punishment is not completed, and he is still trying to copy the house rules ten times, so naturally he can't go out. Changle volunteered to stay at home with his aunt and sister. She didn't have many good friends outside, and if her aunt and Xiaoyu'er were just guests, it wouldn't be interesting for her to go, so she was simply at home with them.

That's it, Jin Niang went out with four boys.

This time, they brought Su Xuan and Su Zheng, but the two did not refuse, after all, their father was also from the Hanlin Academy, and he was also blessed by the master of the Hanlin Academy.

Now my father and mother are back in Shuozhou to visit relatives, and they are left in Xu Mansion because of their young age. But the two boys thought that they were also adults and could help with things, so they took on the matter of "courtesy".

They also have to take the place of their father and give New Year's gifts to the Master of the Academy. They have an important mission.
