At this time, Duan Chu didn't know anything.

In order to let Jiang Xiaomei relax his vigilance today, let alone bring people, he didn't even bring a ghost head knife.

In his eyes, Jiang Xiaomei is not only rich, by the way, she has recently added another brother, the new Tanhualang's brother, in addition, Jiang Xiaomei, a fresh widow, what else can she do!

Therefore, Duan Chu is now defenseless.

After the housekeeper's wife went in to report, she hadn't come out for a long time.

Duan Chu was bored waiting at the door, so he took out his wine bag and took a big sip of wine.

A chapped hand suddenly reached out.

In that hand, there was also a wine gourd, but the surface of the wine gourd was dirty.

"Master Duan, I didn't expect that tonight, a cold wind suddenly blew, and the little old man was dressed very thinly, can you give the little old man a sip of wine, let the little old man drink it, and warm up his body?"

Duan Chu looked up and saw that the person who came seemed to know.

Duan Chu was a good person, and hurriedly poured most of the burning knife in the wine bag into the wine gourd.

The person who came raised his neck, put his mouth to the wine gourd, and poured wine.

Duan Chu took a closer look and finally remembered who this little old man was.

The main thing is that he is much older than before, so he didn't recognize it just now.

And not only is his face old, but it is estimated that because he often does physical work, even his waist is bent.

"You're Lao Xu, aren't you? Aren't you the butler here? Why can't you even afford to burn knives? ”

Lao Xu smiled bitterly.

He raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head, the two big gilded characters of "Jiang Fu".

"Master Duan doesn't know, the little old man was driven out of the Xu Mansion by Mrs. Xu a long time ago, you see, now this is the Jiang Mansion, the Xu Mansion has become the Jiang Mansion, and there is no place for the little old man."

Duan Chu's impression of Lao Xu was not bad.

Regardless of who the shopkeeper Xu is, Lao Xu is still good, and when he goes out to buy things, he has always had money and goods.

Moreover, Lao Xu used to pay money to help the poor, and last year he paid dozens of dollars for Duan Chu.

You must know that at the worst time last year, Duan Chu wanted to borrow a penny, but no one was willing to lend him this poor ghost.

The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated with a gushing spring.

Duan Chu saw that Lao Xu was now poor and embarrassed, so he hurriedly took out Zhao Ruyi and gave him five taels of silver.

"Lao Xu, don't shirk this money, you must accept it...... Also, what the hell is going on? ”

With tears in his eyes, Lao Xu accepted the silver, and then shook his head.

"Master Duan, this matter, alas...... The little old man is really, it's hard to say. ”

……

The housekeeper has been standing in the gate.

She knew what Jiang Xiaomei planned to do to Duan Chu, and the old bustard of Yicuilou was the one she pulled the lead and personally invited.

She stood in the door and didn't go out, just to sharpen Duan Chu's temperament.

Since the family is a pawnshop, grinding other people's temperament, it is a compulsory course.

The housekeeper's wife is the true inheritance of those worshippers in the pawnshop.

She thinks that as long as Duan Chu is impatient, the chance of Duan Chu falling into Jiang Xiaomei's pit will be greater.

However, the appearance of Lao Xu made the housekeeper's wife have to show up in advance.

She was afraid that Lao Xu would talk nonsense with Duan Chu again, which would be detrimental to Jiang Xiaomei.

As Jiang Xiaomei's housekeeper mother-in-law, her monthly income now far exceeds that of ordinary people in Pengzhou Mansion.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the housekeeper's loyalty to Jiang Xiaomei.

She was afraid that Duan Chu and Lao Xu would be wary of Jiang Xiaomei if they continued to talk, so she hurriedly opened the door and walked out.

"Duan Gongzi, I'm really sorry, I just had a little bit of a trivial matter, and I delayed it...... Please come in. ”

As soon as the housekeeper's wife greeted him, Duan Chu said to Lao Xu: "Lao Xu, I see you are carrying a gong and working part-time, right?" Another night, I'll talk to you. ”

Seeing that Duan Chu was about to enter Jiang's Mansion after speaking, Lao Xu grabbed his arm.

"Master Duan, don't go in yet......"

In fact, Lao Xu knows a lot, Jiang Xiaomei never forgets Duan Chu, he knows, because Jiang Xiaomei practices calligraphy, she writes the word "Duan Lang".

The old bustard of Yicuilou came to Jiang's mansion and was also seen by him.

The old bustard of Yicuilou can do feng shui bureau, and he also knows it, because he has accompanied his master Xu to Yicuilou before.

Seeing that Lao Xu grabbed Duan Chu, the housekeeper waved his hand.

Several old women ran out together with brooms and brooms, and beat Lao Xu all the way.

While beating, they also scolded: "Old thing, you were kicked out by my young lady for stealing things from the house, and you have been wandering around the Jiang Mansion, do you want to take revenge!" ”

These old women are very tough, and they beat Lao Xu with their heads in their hands.

Duan Chu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it.

The housekeeper's wife hurriedly stepped forward and explained to Duan Chu: "Duan Gongzi, it's not that we are unreasonable, but my young lady, or an innocent body, Wen Po has tested it, you know this, right?" ”

Duan Chu nodded.

Mr. Qian reported Jiang Xiaomei's matter, he knew that he also knew the results of the Wen Po test.

"Duan Gongzi, my young lady is still innocent, for the sake of fame, so we Jiang Mansion up and down, there is no man, we don't be spicy, what if outsiders come to bully?"

Ginger is still old and spicy.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law said that she did not leak.

Duan Chu thought about it too.

The huge Jiang Mansion, not to mention the nursing home, does not even have a male family, and the maid is a little tough, which is indeed reasonable.

So Duan Chu, under the leadership of the housekeeper's wife, walked towards the Jiang Mansion.

The housekeeper's wife still had nothing to say to Duan Chu.

"Duan Gongzi, what is the matter with coming to my young lady this time?"

The housekeeper's mother-in-law is a little younger than Granny Wang's, and Duan Chu didn't want to dismiss her face too much, so he said: "Although it's not a big deal, I can only talk to your master alone." ”

The purpose of the housekeeper's wife is not to find out Duan Chu's true intentions.

She just wanted to chat and not let Duan Chu concentrate.

Duan Chu didn't say it, she wasn't in a hurry, and she wouldn't ask questions, just find another topic and keep talking.

……

Although Jiang Mansion is not as deep and luxurious as Boss Jin's house, it is not comparable to the Duan family.

The housekeeper's wife deliberately took Duan Chu with her, slowly going around in circles, and kept explaining to him the garden layout in Jiang's mansion.

"This is the landscape that our young lady, the garden master of Gusu, has come to create."

"This ginkgo tree, which has a history of two hundred years, is our young lady and invited it from Qingyunguan at a high price."

"The cost of transplantation alone is only a few hundred taels!"

"These bonsai are all from the hands of the abbot of Zhulin Temple, the great master of Jihai, and have been cultivated for more than ten years......"

Zhulin Temple is the largest temple in Pengzhou Prefecture.

Qingyun Temple is the Pengzhou Mansion and the oldest Taoist temple.

The housekeeper's wife said this, firstly, to disturb Duan Chu's thoughts, and secondly, to show off her wealth for Jiang Xiaomei.

Under her constant nagging, Duan Chu really didn't concentrate.

However, Duan Chu was not interested in her showing off her wealth.

If Duan Chu was a person who likes money and enjoys, he wouldn't drink it now, burning knives cheaply.

Of course, there is another reason, and that is poverty.

There is no way, Zhao Ruyi needs to send money, and Zhu Zimo must also give money.

The suffering of the Duan class master is also clear only to the Duan class master.

……

The housekeeper's wife walked around and finally led Duan Chu to the small courtyard in the middle of Jiang's mansion.

"My young lady is sick, and the head of the Duan class has something to say, go in and talk to her." The housekeeper said, pointing to a room.

The door was ajar, and there was a soft cough inside.

For Jiang Xiaomei, Duan Chu was already careless, this time he was doing things for Wen Chaotian, and he reported the idea of doing business, and he didn't have any distractions, strode to the door, and knocked lightly.

"Miss Jiang, I'm looking for you for something, may I ask, can I go in?"

There was only a cough inside, no response.

Duan Chu looked back at the housekeeper's wife, and the housekeeper's wife waved vigorously to the room, meaning that you should hurry in.

Duan Chu didn't think much about it, anyway, if he didn't go in, he wouldn't be able to bring Jiang Xiaomei back to the Inspection Division.

So he stepped over the threshold, and as soon as he entered, he heard a creak behind him.

When I looked back, the door was closed by the housekeeper's mother-in-law.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law's expression seemed to be smiling, and there was an indescribable meaning.

Duan Chu shook his head and looked at the room, it was a big bedroom.

On the wall, sticking in circles, a lot of wallpapers of Tang Dynasty ladies, the Tang Dynasty was an unrestrained dynasty, the ladies' clothes, the neckline is big and low, and the white flowers are a piece of flowers, which leads people to reverie.

In a purple vase on the windowsill, delicate pruning roses are inserted.

Under the window is a large fish tank, in which several fiery or golden ornamental fish swim around with their heads and tails.

On the dresser, there are a lot of bottles and jars of carmine powder.

Place it in the kind of convex and concave shape you know.

The lampshade of the bedside oil lamp is pink glass, which causes the light to shine out, and there is an indescribable feeling.

In the middle of the room, there was a large round bed half surrounded by a veil, and a red belly pocket was placed next to the bed.
