Xia Lan asked with a lack of confidence: "What do you want, what do you want to do!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay......" hurriedly walked in front of Wei Man and Xia Lan, tried her best to block the figure of the intruder, smiled and comforted the two: "Miss don't worry, don't worry, it's fine......"

There was the sound of heavy footsteps walking into the house.

Wei Man looked out of her corner and saw a stout man with a bright knife heading straight in the direction of the screen, and she hurriedly made a frightened look and wiped her gaze.

The man looked at the screen, and saw that there were no hiaters behind him, so he swept around the house again, turned around without saying a word, and strode away.

"Oh, where are you going!" The hurriedly followed the footsteps of those people, and at the door, while casually closing the door of the private room, she did not forget to apologize to Wei Man: "I'm really sorry!" I'm sorry! ”

The door was closed.

There was the sound of the door next door being slammed open.

"What are you doing...... "A woman shouted.

"Miss, don't be afraid, it's okay......" I heard the voice of the comforting the guest again.

Wei Man and Xia Lan held hands tightly, silently listening to the movement outside.

It didn't take long.

The noise faded away until it died down.

Weiman let out a long exhale and sat down in his chair.

"Squeak!"

The door was opened again.

Wei Man and Xia Lan were startled, they both looked at the door with serious expressions, and when they saw that it was Xia Qing who came in, the two relaxed their expressions.

"Miss," Xia Qing walked in with a somewhat flustered expression, looked Wei Man up and down, and asked worriedly: "Miss, are you okay, the slave maid heard that the upstairs was very messy, and she was very worried about Miss, but someone downstairs stopped her, so she didn't let the slave and maid come up to ......."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little frightened, you're okay, right?" Wei Man comforted Xia Qing while giving Xia Lan a deep look in his eyes.

"The slave is fine." Xia Qing said busily.

"Yes......" Xia Lan paused for a moment, and also responded: "We don't have anything to do, it's just the chaos outside, I, I'm afraid, so I broke the vase......"

"Huh? Vase! When Xia Qing heard this, he hurriedly looked at the empty shelves in front of the window, and then looked at the blue and white broken porcelain all over the ground, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "You are too careless, what can I do about this......

If something is broken, it is natural to accompany it, but the things in the Food Fragrance Pavilion are ordinary objects, Xia Qing can't help but worry about Xia Lan.

"It's out of the way, I remember that I have several bottles similar to this one in my storeroom, and I just accompanied them." Wei Man didn't care about the money, and comforted the two: "As long as the person is okay." ”

……

Aunt Zhang's grandmother's water jade courtyard.

The maid Xiaotao was beating her legs for Aunt Zhang's grandmother while talking with her.

"So," Aunt Zhang's eyes flashed with an unknown light, and her tone was a little excited: "The third lady really went to buy pea yellow." ”

"It's true! It's true! Xiao Tao nodded hurriedly and promised: "Sister-in-law Ershi said, she can see very clearly, the third lady's maid is holding the things in the Chen family's shop. ”

The sister-in-law of Ershi in Xiao Tao's mouth is the eldest girl who has served Aunt Zhang's grandmother, and she has won the trust of Aunt Zhang's grandmother, and when she reached her age, she married Zhao Ershi, who is related to Aunt Zhang's grandmother, and after that, she was transferred to the concierge of the inner courtyard as an errand boy, because the relatives and errands were all Aunt Zhang's help Zhang Luo, Zhao Ershi's family was very close to Aunt Zhang's grandmother, and Shuiyuyuan has always been very close.

Zhao Ershi's family's affairs, Aunt Zhang's grandmother is still very relieved.

"Hehe......" Aunt Zhang laughed a few times in a low voice, and said, "After all, I am still young, and I can't help ......"

Xiao Tao saw that Aunt Zhang's expression was a little unpredictable, and her eyes couldn't help flashing a few times.

"Grandma, you said that the third miss went to buy the pea yellow from the Chen family's shop that you ordered," Xiao Tao asked with a somewhat flattering smile: "So, is the third miss going to the Kindness Hall tomorrow to see Aunt Luo?" ”

Aunt Zhang took a sip of tea comfortably, glanced at Xiao Tao with a smile, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"The slave thinks so!" Xiao Tao nodded firmly and said, "The slave maid didn't hear that the third lady liked the things in the Chen family's shop before, but this time she specially bought the pea yellow there, isn't it because she listened to her aunt's words that she bought it to see Aunt Luo's grandmother?" ”

"You're smart." Aunt Zhang praised casually, took another sip of tea, and whispered: "Count her interesting, otherwise, I will always have a way to ......"

The last few sentences, but I couldn't hear them clearly.

Xiao Tao wanted to ask Aunt Zhang why she had to ask the third lady to go to the Kindness Hall, but she was entangled for a few breaths, but she said with a little stammer: "Whatever Grandma wants, she can naturally do it!" ”

Aunt Zhang thought about it.

"You find a little maid, and keep a close eye on the door of the Kindness Hall these days," Aunt Zhang instructed: "As soon as I see the third lady going to the Kindness Hall, come and tell me immediately!" ”

……

Manman returned to the garden.

"Shhh

Wei Man gasped in pain.

"Oh! Oh! Xia Lan hurriedly stopped, and promised: "The slave will be lighter, Miss bear with it a little longer, and it will be fine for a while." ”

Wei Man let out a soft "um", tilted her head, and motioned for Xia Lan to continue applying medicine to her neck.

After taking the medicine.

Wei Man picked up the bronze mirror beside him and shone it around, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"Is it serious?" Wei Man frowned slightly, and asked a little uneasily: "Blocking it with clothes, can you hide it from Cheng's mother later?" ”

"This ......" Xia Lan looked at the purple strangulation marks on Wei Man's neck, and said with a worried expression: "Although it is a little conspicuous, but if the collar is higher, it should be able to hide the past......"

He looked very uncertain.

"Hey!" Wei Man put down the bronze mirror, sighed, thought about it, and said helplessly: "You go and discuss with Ta Ge, let her find a way to take care of a few sets of clothes that I can wear when I go out, and ensure that I will not leak flaws outside." ”

Tage is the big girl who manages Weiman's clothes.

"Good! Good! Xia Lan nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll go and discuss with Sister Tage." ”

……

In a mansion deep in the capital city.

Helian Yao, who was wearing a blue moire brocade robe, was reclining on the warm couch near the window, one leg was propped up, one leg was swaying lightly, lazily pillowing his head with his left arm, an angular face, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his deep eyes were flashing with bright light, staring at a few bruises and tooth marks on his right forearm.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang......" Chang Sui, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, shouted and trotted into the house.

Helian Yao sat up when he heard this, with an interesting smile on his face, and asked in a somewhat anxious tone, "Got it?" Come on, whose lady is it that bites your grandfather? ”

"Eh, this ......" Ding Ping, who hurriedly ran in, said in a tone after seeing the look on his master's face, and then replied to the question: "Lord Wang, you, why do you pay so much attention to that young lady?" You, you can't be a crush on someone, are you? ”

"Tsk!" Helian Yao raised his leg and kicked at Ding Ping, who was not far away, and scolded: "It's really getting more and more unruly!" If you don't give you an honest reply, what are you talking nonsense there! Say it! Did you inquire about it? ”

"Nope." Ding Ping shook his head, there was no shame on his face that the errand was not completed, but he said with some complaint under Helian Yao's gaze: "Who made you make such a big noise in the Shixiang Pavilion, when the slave went to inquire, but I met several people who called to investigate, and you told the minion not to alarm others, then, in order to keep a low profile, didn't the slave just not inquire?" ”

"Whew! You haven't been able to do this little thing!? Helian Yao glared at Ding Ping with disgust, and said angrily: "You say, what's the use of raising you as a slave!" ”

"Oh, lord, you can't say that, you really can't blame the slave for this today!" Ding Ping was not afraid of Helian Yao's angry face at all, and after refuting it with righteous words, he said with some jokes: "Lord Wang, the slave thinks, you and the young lady who bit you probably have no fate, you see, when you go to eat in the Shixiang Pavilion, you all report the name of the mansion first, right?" Today, if you ask the slave who is sitting in the other private rooms of the Salt Fragrance Pavilion, then you can guess that I can tell you a seven, seven, eight, eight, or eight, hey, it is the young lady you want to inquire about, and I won't say anything about it if I want to go temporarily, and the person who waits for it said, and the young lady has not reported to the house from beginning to end......"

Helian Yao glanced at Ding Ping angrily, and then lay back on the warm couch, he thought of the desperate person who wanted to use money to buy him, instead of reporting to the mansion and taking the oppressive maid, he already had some guesses in his heart, maybe the young lady's background was not too high.

It's just that Helian Yao didn't know that Xia Lan was a "halfway monk" maid, because of her life experience, under the circumstances at that time, her first thought was to use money to impress people's hearts, rather than the name of Zhenguo Houfu would be more fearful...... This misunderstanding was entirely due to Xia Lan's unskilled business, if Helian Yao had met Xia Qing, he must have known Wei Man's identity at this moment.

"Oh, by the way," Ding Ping seemed to have just remembered, and said, "The servant also inquired that the young lady's carriage came from the south of the street, and it also disappeared in the south of the street." ”

In the capital, the distinction between the noble and the low of the residence is very obvious, taking the East Street as an example, the end of the north and south is simply the difference between heaven and earth, the northernmost is the number one noble mansion in the capital, and the southernmost is the poor miscellaneous house.

The location of the Food and Fragrance Pavilion is north of East Street, and the horse-drawn carriage comes from the south of the street and disappears in the south of the street......

Ding Ping told Helian Yao euphemistically that the person he was looking for was not from a high background.

"That's ......," Helian Yao said, lazily adjusting his posture, and couldn't help but raise his forearm again, staring at the tooth marks on it.

"Lord Wang," Ding Ping approached with a look of amazement, and asked nervously, "Do you really like that young lady?" Oops! Lord Wang, you haven't taken a fancy to anyone for a long time, you say, if you really fall in love with someone, the slave will go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire to find out the whereabouts of that young lady for the prince......"
