"What's the matter?" Zhang Meishou asked.

"Back to the girl, I didn't say it."

Zhang Meishou didn't ask any more questions, just got up from the couch, sorted out his clothes, and then took Ah Li to the flower hall.

There were few people in the flower hall, only her parents with Aunt Zhao and Fan Jiu.

Zhang Luan ate the wine, slightly on his face, but his eyes were sober, and his eyes were a little solemn at this time.

"Father, mother."

Zhang Meishou walked into the hall and saluted.

"I asked you to come and take a look at this ......" Song's face was not very good-looking, and he lost his happy look in front of people today.

Zhang Meishou didn't understand what was going on, so he only subconsciously followed his mother's line of sight at this time, and saw a black lacquer box on the coffee table on the side, which was wide open at this time.

She walked over and saw that the large box contained an ordinary string of boxwood beads.

"Where did this come from?"

"About a quarter of an hour ago, someone sent it outside the gate and gave it to the doorman - saying that it was a wedding gift for Chi'er." Zhang Luan said: "The doorman asked who gave it according to the rules, but the other party didn't say anything clearly, left the things and left." ”

"This time to give a congratulatory gift?" Zhang Meishou frowned slightly.

Aunt Zhao and Fan Jiu both went to guard outside the hall, and the Song family lowered her voice and said: "Before I opened it, I only thought it was sent by the Miao family......

No matter what, that is Chi'er's real biological mother, seeing her son getting married, she can't help but send something over, which is barely understandable.

But when she opened it, she knew she had guessed wrong.

"It won't be her." Zhang Meishou said: "Although her temperament is a little slimy, she is still crisp when she should be crisp." ”

And Miao's temperament is actually a bit extreme, cowardice is cowardice, but within the scope of his ability, he is never willing to cause trouble to others, especially to the Zhang family.

Over the years, in keeping a distance from the eldest brother, the other party has done an impeccable job.

Besides—

"This Buddha bead should be Jixiao's handwriting." The girl's tone was firm.

Song said: "Your father and I are also guessing like this......"

"But what did he mean by sending this?" Zhang Luan frowned.

"Xu didn't know that the eldest brother had confessed the inside story to his father and mother, and wanted to use this to provoke his father's suspicions." Zhang Meishou said: "Or, it's just a trick to sweep the eldest brother's interest." But it's better to be more vigilant in the future - by the way, does Big Brother know about this? ”

Song shook his head and said, "As you said, where can such a disappointing thing reach his ears on this happy day." ”

cough, what should I do if it affects the child's cave room candle again?

"It's not a big deal, but you don't have to mention it with your eldest brother."

As Zhang Meishou spoke, his subordinates cautiously inspected the box through the handkerchief.

There is nothing out of the ordinary.

Then he said decisively: "Let someone burn this Buddha bead and the box." ”

"Burned?" Zhang Luan was stunned.

Zhang Meishou nodded and said, "Yes, burn it." ”

It's useless to be left and right, it's just an eyesore, if you don't burn it, will you still keep it for the New Year?

Thinking about it, he looked at his parents and said with a smile: "That demon monk is dying soon, and it is not lucky to keep something from a dying person at home." ”

"......" Song and Zhang Luan glanced at each other when they heard this.

The daughter began to laugh and talk about things that sent chills down her back.

But strangely enough, they listened to this...... I felt very stable in my heart.

The mood affected by this sudden "congratulatory gift" has also recovered a lot inexplicably.

Zhang Luan called Fan Jiu in.

"Take it to the backyard and burn it."

Fan Jiu did not doubt that he had it, and immediately went.

Zhang Meishou took Ah Li back to Yuyuan on the way, but he couldn't help but think about it a little more.

It was only because she was in front of her father and mother that she said such an inference, but in fact, she couldn't guess the purpose of Jixiao's sending this string of Buddhist beads.

Of course, this person is thoughtful and weird, and he can't look at things from the eyes of ordinary people, maybe it's really just to make the Zhang family and her brother unhappy.

Although you don't need to pay attention to it, so as not to fall into the trap again, you must be a little more vigilant.

In particular, we should pay special attention to the safety of my brother.

and her sister-in-law, who just entered the door, also has to be protected.

Zhang Meishou planned in his heart, and after returning to Yuyuan, he immediately wrote a letter, asking the cotton to be sent to the other courtyard to Lao Yu, and asked him to send it to His Royal Highness.

……

A few days later, another snow fell in Kyochu.

The light snow is light, which seems to cast a hazy veil on the capital.

In the Metropolitan Inspection Courtyard, after Xie Qianli dismissed the official documents, he found Wu Zhiqing, the imperial history of the left capital of Shangfeng.

"You want to take leave and go back to Yuyao's hometown?"

Hearing Xie Qian's intention, Wu Zhiqing was a little surprised.

And sick leave?

He subconsciously looked at the young man in front of him who was in excellent spirits from top to bottom, and couldn't help but have some doubts.

It doesn't look like it's sick......

Seeing that Xie Qian nodded and said, "Exactly", Wu Zhiqing couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what kind of illness I suffered, but I want to go back to Yuyao for diagnosis and treatment?" ”

Now it is almost the day when the yamen are sealed at the end of the year, and he is an empathetic peak, and it is not difficult to allow him to take leave, but he still has to ask clearly.

"To tell you the truth, don't hide it from adults, the illness of the lower official is a small matter, and it is not a disease worth mentioning." Xie Qian sighed slightly and said, "The main reason is that my parents came to Beijing this time, and my father has fallen ill for my family...... Now he is bent on returning to Yuyao and discussing my family affairs with his clansmen. I couldn't rest assured of his body, so I thought about going back with him. ”

Wu Zhiqing could hear it.

"I see."

Xie Yushi's family affair is indeed a trouble.

Especially a few days ago, Zhang Hanlin, the new champion of the new department, had just married the daughter of Liu Shangshu's family, and Xie Yushi, who was also born as a champion and was the eldest son of the Zhang family, has not yet been found...... There is no harm if there is no comparison, and if he is old lady Xie, he will probably be sick urgently.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhiqing said in an understanding tone: "Filial piety comes first, and this official has allowed you to take this leave." ”

Xie Qian said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Immediately after that, he said some official handover matters, and then left.

Wu Zhiqing looked at his departing back, and a guess slowly rose in his heart.

Xie Yushi has never married a wife so far, and this time he vaguely said something "sick...... Recalling the other party's somewhat evasive eyes, he vaguely felt that this was not like an excuse.

But what disease has to go back to Yuyao for treatment?

There was an answer in his heart that was about to come out, Wu Zhiqing sighed lightly and shook his head sympathetically.
