Mrs. Zhou didn't know where to find out that this day was Yan Yan's birthday, so she sent two housekeepers to send a congratulatory gift to Yan Yan, Yan Yan didn't want to accept it, but the housekeeper's mother-in-law relayed Mrs. Zhou's words, saying that it was a courtesy exchange, because Yan Yan also gave a congratulatory gift on Zhou Wan's birthday.

Saying this, Yan Yan couldn't refuse politely.

Fortunately, this congratulatory gift is not too valuable, four summer clothes plus a set of jewelry, which is similar to the one Yan Yan gave to Zhou Wan, Yan Yan is also relieved.

Sending away the people of the Zhou family, Yan Yan instructed the stove room to cook a few dishes that Lu You loved to eat, and then, she pulled Lu You to the back garden, let him see the fruits of his labor this month, and finally led him to the peach tree, and asked him to pick two peaches by himself and hand them to Qingxiu to clean.

There is no doubt that this is also the best peach Lu You has ever tasted.

Actually, don't look at him as the son of a family, but when he grows so big, he really hasn't eaten anything good, and it is good to be able to guarantee him two meals a day on an ordinary day, how can there be such additional benefits?

It's not that the Zhu family is so harsh, it's that these subordinates don't regard him as a master at all, and he can't speak, and he can't even make the most basic complaint, who will be afraid of him?

Therefore, he also had the opportunity to eat something good when he had dinner with them in the upper room during the New Year's Festival, and the old lady would occasionally order someone to bring him some fruit or something, but even if it entered his yard, it was sometimes not his turn to eat.

Yan Yan saw that Lu You was stunned with the half-bitten peach, but she also guessed what he was thinking, because she had heard the introduction of the nurse before and knew the general life he lived in the Lu family, so she could understand without asking that even if there were all kinds of fruits, they would be dry if they were not rotten in his hands.

"Husband, let's go fish for shrimp, I want to eat shrimp dumplings at night." Yan Yan also suddenly remembered the snack of shrimp dumplings.

She also once went to eat Cantonese morning tea with her parents, and her mother saw that she liked to eat shrimp dumplings, so she learned to make them at home.

But the problem is that Yan Yan has never made Cheng Fen, and the Cheng Flour used at home is generally bought directly from the supermarket.

By the way, she remembered that one year in the countryside for the New Year, for some reason, my mother suddenly wanted to eat gluten, and she didn't buy it after looking for it, and finally made it herself at home, and the sediment separated from that process seemed to be powder.

Yan Yan is a person who does what she says, and besides, she is a pregnant woman, and if she can't eat something, she will feel as sad as a cat scratching.

So, Yan Yan pulled Lu You and went to the front again, she ordered Qingmiao and noodles first, and in the process of waiting for the waking up, Yan Yan led Qingmiao to the warehouse, planning to pick two pieces of cloth for Lu You to make two summer clothes, when the materials were selected, Hula came in a lot of people, Qinghe Qingyu and Qingbi came back, saying that they were here to celebrate Yan Yan's birthday.

Qinghe and Qingyu brought back a birthday cake for Yan Yan, and a few words were also placed on it with pine nuts, "Happy birthday, Miss." ”

Qingbi sent Yan Yan a set of shoes and socks, which she made herself.

Seeing this, Yan Yan put down the work in his hand and entered the upper room with them, when several people were chattering and laughing, Qingbi suddenly said: "Miss, a few days ago, a female flower came to the door of the embroidery village, about sixty years old, I originally wanted to give her a few big money to send her away, but she saw that I was kind-hearted but refused to leave, saying that she had no children and no daughters, and wanted to stay in the embroidery village to beg for food, but she didn't know how to do embroidery work, saying that she was responsible for the work on the stove in the main house before, but how could we ask for people on the stove in the embroidery village?" But I thought to myself, Miss, you have been saying that there is a shortage of people, do you want to keep her? ”

After speaking, probably because she was afraid that Yan Yan would misunderstand, Qingbi was busy again: "Miss don't worry, I took her to wash it, and also changed into my mother-in-law's old clothes, and also took her to see Langzhong, there is no problem I dare to recommend, the most important thing is that her craftsmanship on the stove is really good, it seems that there will be a lot of dishes from the south, I tried it at my house for a few days, I think it is good to dare to recommend it to Miss." ”

Yan Yan was about to refuse, but when she heard the words "dishes from the south", her heart suddenly moved, and she suddenly remembered someone

The culprit who caused the death of the two county lords in childbirth, Yan Yan had already asked Zhou Haisheng to find it, but unfortunately there was no news after several months.

Could it be the same person?

"How tall is that guy, does he have a southern accent? Did you ask her where her hometown is? Yan Yan asked.

"It's a little bit, it seems to say that it's from Anqing Mansion, but she didn't say it, she's not tall, so it's just me." Qingbi gestured as she spoke, and it was at her chin.

The fact that he is not tall is consistent, and his age in his sixties also coincides, but according to Zhou Haisheng, that person should have an accent in Shuzhong, which is far from Anqing Mansion.

"Forget it, I don't need anyone for the time being, if she is willing to stay, she will send her to Zhuangzi, it just so happens that there is a shortage of people over there, and nothing else can be done, feeding some chickens, ducks and geese should be able to do." Yan Yan took an idea.

She planned to send people to Mingzhuang, and then found a reason for Zhou Haisheng to go to Mingzhuang to take a sneak peek.

There is no way, the person who can lurk in the mansion for many years and quietly kill the three hostesses is by no means an ordinary person, this kind of person is not only thoughtful, but also very alert, Yan Yan dare not be careless.

But there is a question she hasn't figured out, if this woman is brought from Shu by the dregs of the first county lord's husband, she can understand that she killed the first county lord Yan Yan, but why did she harm the next two hostesses? What enmity do they have against her master?

Of course, maybe all this is a coincidence, and there is no conspiracy at all.

It's just that this coincidence is too magical, the three hostesses all died in childbirth, and there are rumors that the house is haunted.

But since Yan Yan moved in, she really hasn't seen anything strange about this house, except for the yellow eels in the pond in the back garden.

Rao is like this, Yan Yan doesn't dare to sleep alone every night when she sleeps, Lu You is not at home, she usually lives with the two maids on duty.

"Qingbi, tell me, what dishes did that person cook at your house? Also, have you asked her who her previous master was, why did she quit her job, what she has relied on for a living all these years, and since she is learning to work on the stove, why don't you go directly to the restaurant to find a job? Yan Yan thought of another question.

According to these judgments, this woman did not seem to be the person she was looking for, and it seemed that she was too cautious, and had a sense of being a soldier.

However, thinking of what happened to the three hostesses, Yan Yan always had a creepy feeling, so she didn't dare to be careless until she found the person.
