Chapter 167: Fear of the Unknown
Seeing that the snow has been falling all winter, it is already approaching the end of the year.
However, at this time, there was an outbreak of epidemic in the northern city. The disease came very quickly and so violently that hundreds of people had already died in the city.
Suddenly, people in the capital were panicked, and everyone was in danger.
The new emperor felt that it was very unlucky for such a thing to happen on the side of the year, so he planned to go to the Huguo Temple in the outer city to pray for blessings.
Fu Rin needs to accompany him as a general, and such a large-scale blessing activity is not like usual, so he can only take Man Chun there, and many people left the general's mansion at once, and it was completely deserted.
Xia Chutao originally planned to take advantage of this time to go out to have fun, but now she happened to run into this incident, so she could only dispel her thoughts and continue to be bored in Shenlian Pavilion.
"Anyway, it's almost the end of the year, so let's cut some window grilles to have fun."
Natsuchu Tao felt that she didn't know anything originally, but since playing this game, she has learned a lot of skills because of this boring environment.
Including the lifelike window grilles that I cut in my hands, I also learned from others during this time when I was bored.
Xia Chutao learned quite quickly, no matter what kind of tricks, as long as she taught her once, she could cut it.
Xia Chutao originally wanted to be bored in the house, but saw Qiaoyun come in respectfully.
"Little Niang, Xu Xiaoniang, she's here."
"Oh? Please let her in. ”
Xia Chutao thought that Yin Niang hadn't come to find her for a while, and she didn't know what she was looking for at this time.
Xia Chutao had just put down the scissors and red paper in his hand when he saw Yin Niang walking in with a smile.
"I haven't come to see Xia Xiaoniang for a long time, Xia Xiaoniang is in good health this time?"
Yin Niang was enthusiastic, and Xia Chutao did have a faint smile.
"Xu Xiaoniang hasn't been here for a while, why is she suddenly free today?"
"Qiaoyun, don't make tea yet."
Yin Niang didn't wait to escape, and said anything and sat down directly next to Xia Chutao.
"It's not like the general took his wife to pray for blessings with the emperor, the whole general's mansion is like no one, it's deserted, I'm really bored, I want to find a companion to talk to."
Saying that, Yin Niang also looked at Xia Chutao with a lot of concern and asked.
"Xia Xiaoniang won't be angry because I haven't come to see you for a while, right?"
Xia Chutao shook her head, naturally she didn't mind this matter in her heart.
"Yin Niang, I also know about you, Kang'er's health is not very good after the winter, and it is said that it is the root of the disease that fell into the water before. It's not easy for Yin Niang to take care of her, how dare I say yours isn't? ”
"It's good that the little lady can understand, I'm afraid that there will be some misunderstanding between me and you."
Yin Niang chuckled a few times, and then carefully looked at Xia Chutao's body with an inquiring gaze.
"I haven't seen you for a while, it seems that Xia Xiaoniang is a little rounder."
Xia Chutao raised her hand and touched her face, during this time she was delicious and delicious, and she did grow a lot of meat, so she smiled at Yin Niang very embarrassed.
"Xu Xiaoniang is really good at laughing at me, there is no place to go in winter, I sleep and eat all day long, can I not grow meat after eating and sleeping?"
"Xia Xiaoniang is not good like this, and if she is lazy, it will be a little disadvantageous, so it is better to walk more."
Yin Niang is serious and looks serious and tight.
At this time, it happened that the clouds came up with tea and poured tea for the two people in turn.
Xia Chutao picked up a cup of hot tea, and smiled embarrassedly.
"I understand what Xu Xiaoniang said, it's not that there is an epidemic in the capital, I said that pregnant people are really not good to move."
"That's right, you said that it's almost the end of the year, why did you suddenly start to make an epidemic?"
Yin Niang also seemed to be frightened by this matter, and then said to Xia Chu Tao,
"Madame just went to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings in the general, and now the whole thing of the general's mansion falls on the shoulders of me and you."
"The terrible epidemic is said to have come from some rural areas, but now there are often many large families in it. This is like the rich businessman Tang Yuanwai in the Allure City a few days ago, because of this epidemic, he was in a hurry. ”
Xia Chutao heard Yin Niang say this, but she just smiled and didn't speak.
Since Yin Niang has a reputation in the General's Mansion, she has gained confidence in both speaking and doing.
She seems to like to contribute to this aspect.,Whether it's in front of full spring.,Or in front of the early summer peach.,It's very courteous.。
Man Chun also said this in front of Xia Chu Tao.
"Don't look at Yin Niang's big grin and don't care about anything, in fact, she knows better than anyone else in her heart."
Xia Chutao didn't have a way to fully understand this sentence before, but the recent series of things added together, Xia Chutao vaguely felt that Yin Niang in front of him was indeed not a simple character.
It can be seen that it is better not to interfere in this matter yourself. In the end, there are only two people left in the General's Mansion now, her and Yin Niang.
No matter how you look at it, you have to think more about yourself.
So Xia Chutao put away his thoughts a little, and then smiled at Yin Niang in front of him.
Xu Xiaoniang said with a smile, Mrs. handed over these things to you before leaving. I'm pregnant now, it's really inconvenient, and these things are bothering, so Xu Xiaoniang bothered a lot. ”
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be a thief.
Xia Chutao didn't believe it, Yiyin Niang came today just to show off to herself, and Manchun handed over the affairs of the entire general's mansion to her before leaving.
Xia Xiaoniang said this politely. But what Xia Xiaoniang said makes sense. If you're pregnant, you shouldn't be overworked. ”
"You can rest assured, I'm taking care of the affairs of the General's Mansion, you just need to rest and recuperate in this Shenlian Pavilion."
Xia Chutao didn't know what Yin Niang wanted to do, so she could only sing and harmonize with him here.
"Xu Xiaoniang, I am naturally relieved to do things, after all, General Nian said that you are as careful as a hair and do things decently."
When the aunt heard Xia Chutao say this, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and smiled.
"Where is Xia Xiaoniang talking about, it's good to be able to relieve the general's worries, don't you want to clean up your ears now, the poisonous woman next door will have to clean up, now Xiaoniang, you just need to raise the fetus with peace of mind."
Xia Chutao heard Yin Niang say this, and her heart chuckled, and her eyes faintly disappeared from Yin Niang's body.
But Yin Niang was still smiling, and she couldn't see anything more.
Since Yin Niang has already talked about this, Xia Chutao didn't say anything else, but asked directly.
"Regarding everything that Bai Ling did, Yin Niang's heart is probably the clearest, right?"
Yin Niang's figure was obviously stiff, and then she quietly looked at the teacup in her hand.
"Even if you know? These things have been solved, isn't it also beneficial to Xia Xiaoniang? ”
Listening to Yin Niang's tone, Xia Chutao knew about it, and sure enough, he knew best.
"Ever since you last mentioned in front of me and my wife that something happened to the old lady's cemetery, in fact, you have always known the reason for this incident. I'm afraid I came here to remind Madame, right? ”
"Since you already know why you have to hide this matter, and you don't say it until this time, it's nothing more than Bai Ling hurting Kang'er."
This is all Xia Chutao's guess in his heart, but it is also the most explainable so far.
Yin Niang smiled and placed the teacup on the table.
"It is said that Xia Xiaoniang is the most delicate and clear one, but now it seems that it is true. That's right, I did know these things for a long time, and they were all told to me by Bai Ling himself. ”
"Bai Ling has thought of a lot of ways to deal with you, and now that she has been solved, Xia Xiaoniang, you should sit back and relax."
At the beginning of the summer, Momomura didn't take the words to heart, and thought it was all nonsense. As Wen Manchun said, Yin Niang looks pure on the surface, but in fact she is full of calculations behind the scenes.
"You solved Bai Ling, the next one is probably me, right?"
Yin Niang shook her head with a smile,
"What is Xia Xiaoniang saying, why can't I understand?"
That's a strange thing to say. I didn't regard you as my enemy, you saved Kang'er's life, and this kind of kindness needs to be remembered for the rest of my life. ”
Xia Chutao was stunned, although Yin Niang had already picked out what she said in front of her, she always felt that Yin Niang's words had a deeper meaning.
Since Yin Niang's goal is not herself, who will it be?
"Okay, I'm going to come over and see how you're doing. After all, Madame is not in the house at this time, if something happens to Xia Xiaoniang's body, I still have to give an explanation, right? ”
After saying that, Yin Niang stood up,
"Since Xia Xiaoniang's body is fine, I won't continue to stay here to bother."
Xia Chutao didn't say much, so she could only nod to Yin Niang, and then asked Qiaoyun to send Yin Niang out.
Xia Chutao thought about it in her heart, and then called in Bizhu, who was guarding the door.
"Little lady, do you have anything to tell your servant?"
"Didn't you say before that Shouda knew some people who inquired about the grapevine? You go over and ask to see if he can entrust those people to investigate the details of Yin Niang. ”
"Yin Niang's bottom line?"
Bizhu didn't know that at this time, Xia Chutao wanted to investigate what Yin Niang was doing.
"Don't ask so much, hurry up, I always think this person is very strange. If I don't know what's going on, it's hard for me to feel at ease just because she's staying in the house. ”
Xia Chutao's heart was very worried, after Yin Niang said what she just said, Xia Chutao only felt that she was afraid for no reason in her heart.
