At the moment, all the people are busy, cleaning the yard, buying tables and chairs, Qu Xiaobai looked around, but did not find an idler to help her. Fortunately, Zhao Yuan and Yang Zhuzi and his wife both arrived.

The two families brought gifts from the joy of the housewarming, both of them were Zhuang families, and they had a hard life, and there was nothing to give, Zhao Yuan's family sent a few new quilts sewn by Zhao Yuan's daughter-in-law, and Yang Zhuzi's family sent a few fox skins that had been cherished, and asked Qu Xiaobai to sew a fox fur according to his own wishes.

Qu Xiaobai thanked him and unceremoniously supported today's guests: "Uncle Zhuzi, you can make a pot and a big kang, can you help me go to the river outside the door to plate an oven?" ”

Yang Zhuzi agreed: "Cheng, what kind of oven, you can tell it." ”

Qu Xiaobai hurriedly went to the house to get a pen and paper and drew a sketch, and explained them to Yang Zhuzi one by one, "It's easy, I'll make it for you in a while." ”

"It's hard work, Uncle Zhu. Brother Da Yuan, you can do me a favor too. ”

The pillar family laughed at her: "Niece and daughter-in-law, you don't plan to let anyone go, we are here to work for you today." ”

Qu Xiaobai grinned: "Auntie, I will treat you to something delicious at noon." Brother Da Yuan, you go to the town to help me buy twenty ducks, and I have to pack them up and pick the fat ones. It's okay to have a few more. ”

"Okay, no problem." Zhao Yuan smiled.

Qu Xiaobai took out a silver ticket from his pocket, handed it to Zhao Yuan, and by the way, wrote a few spices for Da Yuan to buy back. There were horses and carriages outside the gate, and Da Yuan himself chose a horse to ride to the town.

Dong Lang couldn't help much because of the injury on his leg, so he simply didn't follow the blind mixing, and walked to Qu Xiaobai's side at this time, raised his eyebrows and asked her: "You are busy working, do you want to be a duck?" ”

Ahem, the little straight man's question is not up to standard, and it is easy for her, a person from another world, to misunderstand. But fortunately, the person who spoke did not know the other meaning of the words, and there was no such thing in this world.

But Mu Nanyun, who was shaking a folding fan and walking in all directions, happened to hear this, and he paused, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Qu Xiaobai replied very calmly: "Yes, roast a few ducks to satisfy your hunger." Didn't you say that you haven't seen meat for many days? I don't know who ate the most meat porridge this morning. Alas, I shouted for Aunt Zhang! ”

Dong Lang told her with a serious expression: "When I was young, when I was growing my body, how could I have that little porridge?" It's good to be a duck, it's good to be a duck! ”

"Ahem...... Got it, get out of here, don't be embarrassed here. ”

Dong Lang was confused: "Aren't you hungry?" Where is the shame that makes you disgusted like this? ”

Muttered, and walked away. He thought that maybe the little master's mother had something to say to Mu Nanyun, so he broke him away, although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't stay to block Qu Xiaobai.

Mu Nanyun walked to Qu Xiaobai's side, and Qu Xiaobai stared at him coldly: "General Mu Xiao, what did you do before?" This style is very familiar to look at. ”

Mu Nanyun knew what she said before, and she also knew what she meant by familiarity, so she hurriedly told the truth to set the record straight: "I used to be a soldier, don't misunderstand." ”

"Which soldier is like you? You shouldn't be a soldier of the third brother's family, right? ”

"Ahem, how could it be? Didn't I pretend to be such a merry boy in order to confuse the public? Otherwise, the people above, the people of a certain family, can tolerate my Mu family? ”

Qu Xiaobai pursed her lips noncommittally, looked at no one around, and hooked her finger towards Mu Nanyun, Mu Nanyun took a step closer, she looked at him with a deep expression, and lowered her voice: "Do you think that if you pretend to be like this, they will be able to tolerate your Mu family?" Everyone else is blind, but Lu Xiaoxiao is not blind. Don't tell me, Lu Xiaoxiao can tolerate you, and he can also tolerate the power of the Mu family. ”

Mu Nanyun's expression changed, "Ahem, Xiaobai, can we not talk about those things?" Today's big day, it's too bad to say that. ”

Qu Xiaobai smiled sarcastically and said, "Actually, what do those things have to do with me?" I just want to remind you that Lu Xiaoxiao is not blind, and the people of the Rong family are not blind. Do you know who the man in black who fought with Yang Ling that night? ”

Mu Nanyun's expression became completely nervous: "Who?" ”

"Jing Lie." Qu Xiaobai gently spit out two words.

The two words exploded in Mu Nanyun's ears like thunder.

"Then do you know that the Diyi people's army is attacking this time, and they really rely on the help of Lu Chong, the king of Jingnan?"

Qu Xiaobai threw out a thunderbolt again, which made Mu Nanyun smell a mushy smell.

Ahem, the mushy smell is coming from the kitchen.

Mu Nanyun sniffed and frowned, "I have no evidence." Did Yang Ling have any evidence? ”

Qu Xiaobai sneered and said, "Yang Ling has no evidence either. However, Yang Ling fought with black-clothed people of unknown origin several times, and the style of those people did not look like the style of those people in Jiangnan. ”

Mu Nanyun frowned and nodded thoughtfully.

Qu Xiaobai sneered, pulled Yang Ling to turn around and walk away, walked out two steps, thought of something, turned around again, and said, "By the way, what did Lu Xiaoxiao do before?" ”

"Huh? Oh. Mu Nanyun took two steps, followed Qu Xiaobai, and explained to her in a low voice: "She was born in a poor mountainous area before, her family was poor, she dropped out of school at the age of ten, and she was reincarnated here at the age of twelve. Therefore, she has been in this world longer than she has been in that world. ”

Qu Xiaobai looked at the sky speechlessly, "No wonder he's a fool. What about X. ”

Mu Nanyun: "...... okay, you two are big guys."

Qu Xiaobai glanced at him: "Are you really a soldier?" How to look at it, how not to look like. ”

"Ahem, I was already a regimental cadre at that time."

"Then you're from the Republic of China, right?"

"Little white boss, can you not always torture me like this, okay?"

Qu Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I'm happy, I won't torture you." You can do it yourself, go shopping in the yard or talk to Qingjun, or find Xiao Dong, I'm going to take care of my husband. ”

Qu Xiaobai walked away.

Mu Nanyun: "......" She did it on purpose, right?

Qu Xiaobai's heart was not very calm.

All she knew was what Yang Ling told her, and she had neither the time nor the energy to continue to investigate, and throwing it to Mu Nanyun was a last resort.

Admittedly, she also has her own considerations.

Mu Nanyun is subject to Lu Xiaoxiao, and Lu Xiaoxiao is a woman with ambition and means, he wants to get what he wants from her, and it is impossible not to be picked up by Lu Xiaoxiao.

It is true that he also has the means, and he has been secretly operating for many years to recuperate, and his strength is beyond the ability of ordinary people. But he is too indecisive and affectionate, how can he be the opponent of Rong and Lu Xiaoxiao? Sooner or later, he will be eaten by Lu Xiaoxiao, and there will be no scum left.

Qu Xiaobai threw these questions to him, but also wanted to remind him to make a decision as soon as possible, and not to regret it until everything was irreparable.

If you are a person in the wind and waves, there is no way to keep the water from getting wet.

Qu Xiaobai lowered her eyebrows and looked at her gentle toes, her heart trembled slightly, and finally, she still waded into this troubled water.

No, maybe from the first time she saw Lu Xiaoxiao, she had already stepped into this muddy water.

She turned her head to look at Yang Ling, a peerless face in Allure, charming, but her eyes were still as silent as death.

Her trembling heart seemed to have fallen into dust.

Yang Ling's subordinates all arrived one after another, because they were anxious to see Yang Ling, they all came early, but Xin Qingjun had already instructed them not to disturb the lord at will, so these people stayed in the front hall and gossiped, and did not dare to go to Qu Xiaobai's courtyard.

There are also a few people in the village, Yang Chun's parents and family, Yang Hongxia and her family, are all good friends, embroidery girls also want to come, but she refused in advance, although those embroidery girls are also her employees, but the relationship is not deep, there are no lack of people with shallow eyelids and unfavorable mouths, she doesn't want them to say things she doesn't like to hear after seeing Yang Ling.

Mu Nanyun also invited Zhang Jinglin to come, Zhang Jinglin got a large sum of silver because of the sale of land in the past few days, and he was looking at Yang Ling's silver treasury, and his master Wang Ping also came very early.

After coming, he saw that Mu Nanyun, the general of Mu Xiao, was also there, he could only clamp his tail and be a man, and he was not able to make a majestic calculation of Yang Ling, and he was very unhappy.

Qu Xiaobai threw the matter of the reception to Xin Qingjun, and she led Yang Ling to the river to see Yang Zhuzi's oven.

Yang Zhuzi's craftsmanship has nothing to say, such a big house has been completed by someone to give her a good time, not to mention a mud oven. When she went out, the oven had already been completed, and Yang Zhuzi was lighting a fire and drying the still wet oven.

"Niece, there is a lot of smoke here, you and Yang Ling will come over after the stove is dry."

"It's okay, Yang Ling is annoying, and he doesn't like to stay in crowded places."

Yang Zhuzi smiled and didn't poke her. Yang Ling is annoyed, and she is also annoyed, right?

Soon, Zhao Yuan also rode back, there was a big bamboo basket hanging on the back of the horse, he directly urged the horse to the river, jumped off the horse, and said, "Madam, according to your request, I bought all the ducks back." ”

Qu Xiaobai smiled: "It's just right, Uncle Zhuzi's stove is also ready." I'm going to get a big basin to wash the ducks. ”

"I'll go, Madame will wait here for a while."

Zhao Yuan unloaded a basket full of ducks, and immediately went into the house to find a big basin, and when he came back, he called his daughter-in-law and Zhuzi's family to help.

"My aunt and daughter-in-law couldn't help at home, so I called them out."

Qu Xiaobai smiled: "It's just right, such a lot of ducks, I'm still worried." ”

The kitchen is really an unbridgeable gap for her.

Zhuzijia said with a smile: "I heard your servant Sister Zhang say that you didn't even remove the fish scales and internal organs when you braised the fish in the morning, Xiaobai nephew, you better rest, don't stew the duck with the duck feathers when you stew it." ”

"Auntie, if you tease me again, I won't give you the duck to eat at noon."
