Xiao Nuan entered Beijing this time to help the master send a letter to the third senior brother, but the third master disagreed, and asked Xuan San to come over to show his attitude. Xiao Nuan didn't go to Qinming Mountain after listening to him, but she did everything she had to do. So, the third master should be angry, right?

Xiao Nuan's heart is weak, so she became an ostrich, and she didn't look up at the third master, just because she was afraid of seeing anger and disappointment on his face.

The third master didn't say a word to Xiao Nuan, and Xiao Nuan was uneasy. This sense of uneasiness gradually expanded as the third master and Hua Concubine went out, until the third master stuffed this small thing into her hand.

When she opened her hand, she saw that it was a blood-red stone the size of a jujube, and Xiao Nuan suddenly wanted to cry, this stone is so beautiful.

The third master accompanied his mother out of the fourth village, and Hua Concubine whispered through the sedan chair, "Xiao Nuan is still a child, you will scare her like this." She didn't do anything wrong, you come back another day to coax her. ”

"She understands." The third master said softly, his face today was for Deng Jinzhong to see.

Hua Concubine sighed softly, "If she understood, she wouldn't be so sad." ”

Is the little girl sad? She kept her head down, wasn't she acting? The third master couldn't get it for a while.

"Third Master." Xuan let out a voice and gestured to the side of the road with his eyes.

The third master looked up and saw Xiaocao, Rhubarb, and Xuanqi, who was carrying a rabbit basket, waiting on the side of the road. Hua Concubine's carriage stopped in front of her, and she said to Xiao Cao, who was holding a piece of wood on the side of the road through the gauze curtain, with a smile on her face, "Xiaocao, I'm back to the palace." ”

Xiaocao nodded vigorously, and lifted the wood in his arms up with his little arms, "Niangniang, do you see this carved root?" Xiaocao dug up from her brother-in-law's garden and gave it to her mother. ”

She told Xiaocao about the skills of root carving two days ago, saying that doing root carving can also cultivate self-cultivation, and this little girl remembered it. The cloth bag that Hua Concubine had in hand that could hold books was given by the Qin family, and the wooden block that could massage the soles of her feet was given by Xiao Nuan, and now Xiaocao sent a large piece of heavy wood. Concubine Hua's eyes gradually moistened, "Sheng'er, take it quickly." ”

The third master bent down and took the wood in Xiaocao's hand, "This piece is very good." ”

"Well, Xiaocao also dug up such a big one for my brother-in-law." Xiaocao gestured happily, and then pointed to the big ecliptic, "The rhubarb also has a gift for the mother." ”

The third master reached out to catch the bone in Rhubarb's mouth, Rhubarb dodged himself and ran to Hua Concubine's car, put his front foot on the car, and motioned for Hua Yu to take it.

Seeing that the master's lost hand was still empty, Xuanqi hurriedly put a bunch of wildflowers in the rabbit basket in the master's hand, "Third master, this is given to Niangniang by Ah Bao." ”

The third master looked at the flowers in his hand, looked at the rabbit sleeping in the basket, and then looked at Xuanqi. Xuan San looked at the sky speechlessly, "Xiaocao and Rhubarb said that Po thinks so......" In terms of understanding what the rabbit who has always only eaten grass wants to express, he can't keep up with the rhythm of Rhubarb and Xiaocao......

This handful of colorful wildflowers is quite good-looking, the third master asked, "Where did the tiger bone of rhubarb come from?" ”

Xuanqi looked at the sky again, "Rhubarb found it from the woods, and his subordinates also got a piece." ”

"Wang, Wang, Wang!"

Xiaocao embarrassedly translated, "Brother-in-law, Rhubarb said it was gone." ”

Third Master ......

Hua Concubine in the carriage looked at her son, curled the corners of her mouth, and was with Xiao Nuan's family, it was difficult for her son to be lonely.

Deng Jinzhong, who was holding a turtle and following the third master, urged, "Lord Wang, it's time to close the city gate if you don't go anymore." ”

The third master straightened up, "Let's go." ”

Xiaocao took out a melon bigger than her fist from her coat pocket and gave it to Deng Jinzhong, "Father-in-law, this is for you to eat, it's sweet." ”

Seeing that he also had gifts to receive, Deng Jinzhong, who was holding a melon in one hand and a turtle in the other, smiled and became a Maitreya Buddha, "Thank you, little grass girl." ”

After Deng Jinzhong returned to the palace, he immediately went to see Emperor Jianlong. Emperor Jianlong listened to his report, frowned and asked, "Ji Jingqing has been recuperating from his injuries at the foot of Qinming Mountain for many days, and not a single assassin has been caught?" ”

"Back to Long Live Lord, although I didn't catch it, there were indeed assassins who were not good for Ji Daochang, but it's a pity that the soldiers guarding the other courtyard failed to seize the opportunity. General Zhang Ruopu said that looking at the man's body movements, it seemed to be Beifan's kung fu. Deng Jinzhong said immediately.

Emperor Jianlong frowned, "Since you can identify the body method, why haven't you caught people yet?" The ones I sent are all rubbish! ”

Deng Jinzhong also looked puzzled, "That day, General Zhang Ruopu was in charge of the garrison in the courtyard, and General Feng Jiangzhao led people to take charge of the outer garrison. ”

Deng Jinzhong's meaning was that his strategy worked, but Feng Jiangzhao was incompetent, so he let the assassin escape. Dexi raised his eyes and glanced at Deng Jinzhong, this person's body is getting fatter and fatter, and his head is still bright, and he knows how to throw the pot to Feng Jiangzhao. Beifan, but it is an extremely sensitive place, Feng Jiangzhao's subordinates are running with pills, and it is the outer fan north of the Great Zhou. Emperor Jianlong naturally thought of this, and his face was displeased, "What about the turtle?" ”

Deng Jinzhong immediately presented the turtle jar, "This is the remaining one, please take a look at it." Long live the Lord, after the two little turtle Chen girls stayed in the fourth village, they were raised in the open air in the pond in the courtyard. The villain also felt strange at first, so Miss Chen wanted to give one of them to Shi Wuchen, but the villain stopped her, and she didn't force it, so she gave Shi Wuchen a few plates of orchids. When the villain took Miss Chen to Qinming Mountain, Miss Chen wanted to use the amulet of the teacher as a meeting gift, and it was the villain who personally caught the turtle and brought it to Ji Jingqing. ”

Emperor Jianlong looked at the little turtle in the jade bowl with four legs and asked lightly, "What did Concubine Hua do in the fourth village?" ”

This is his second errand, keep an eye on Concubine Hua! Deng Jinzhong hurriedly said, "Niangniang has not taken a step out of the fourth village, and during the day, Niangniang either reads in the house, or goes to paint in the pergola by the cotton field, and does not see an outsider. ”

Emperor Jianlong curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, "Stand down." ”

When Deng Jinzhong got up and slowly withdrew, he still glanced at the little turtle on the jade case with nostalgia. This thing can be transferred, but it was detained by his master......

"Is this turtle really an ornament?" Emperor Jianlong looked at this little thing suspiciously, and always felt that something was wrong.

Dexi said softly, "Why don't you have someone dissect it and examine it carefully?" ”

Emperor Jianlong shook his head slightly, "This is an auspicious thing." ”

Dexi covered his mouth and chuckled, "Ji or not, it's not a matter of your words." ”

"You old thing! Let's go, follow me to meet my beauty, and see what she has painted these days. Emperor Jianlong stood up with a smile, and no longer cared about the little turtle, "In your opinion, why did Xiao Nuan enter Beijing this time?" ”

Dexi smiled and said seriously, "Avoid suspicion." She has a bright future, and there is no need to get involved in the affairs of the Jianghu sect. ”

This is also consistent with what Emperor Jianlong thought. An ordinary peasant girl, blessed with the best man in the world as a concubine, wealth and glory are at her fingertips, Chen Xiaonuan is greedy for money, and she will not take risks anymore. Emperor Jianlong waved his hand, "This turtle is raised here, and people take care of it." ”

It's getting dark.

In the fourth village, the Qin family had already slept in the west with the grass. In the east wing, Xiao Nuan still picked up the lamp to read the newspaper. But she stared at a page and didn't move.
