The chirping of cicadas in the afternoon is a bit disturbing.

Jiang Baoqing was lying on the chair next to the water pavilion, half-supporting his head, looking at a new book. When his thoughts were a little idle, he couldn't help frowning because of the noise of cicadas.

Ding Xiang lowered her eyebrows and helped to fan on the side, and when she saw Jiang Baoqing frowning, she quietly handed over the fan in her hand to Chunqin, the second-class maid on duty next to her, and walked out lightly.

Jiang Baoqing noticed it, glanced at Lilac's back, and didn't care.

In the past few days, I don't know if it was affected by the rumors before Miliu, and Lilac was more active than usual.

It's just that being active is active, Jiang Baoqing looked at it coldly, but he was much more low-key and sensible than before, so he went with her.

It didn't take long for Jiang Baoqing to see a few little maids in the yard who hadn't left their heads yet, holding sticky poles in their hands, and sticking them around.

Jiang Baoqing was a little stunned, sat up from the recliner, and watched the little maids raise their heads and hold high poles, sticking to the trees near the water pavilion.

This is not a light job, and after a while, the hands of several little maids holding the pole are tired and trembling, and the poles in their hands are swaying.

Jiang Baoqing frowned slightly, and asked Chunqin to call the small wells in the sticky cicada girls.

Koi, covered in sweat, ran over with a pole and pedaling.

She carefully erected the pole next to the pillar outside the water pavilion, so as not to let the glue on the pole stick to anything.

"It's good, how do you stick to that?" Jiang Baoqing saw that Xiaojing's face was so hot that his face was red, so he asked Chunqin to pour a cup of herbal tea and handed it over.

This herbal tea was boiled by Jiang Baoqing for the people on the stove, and chrysanthemums, mulberry leaves, licorice, white grass roots, mint, rock sugar, and ice cubes were used to simmer it, which was very cool and relieved of the heat.

Xiaojing was so hot that he didn't have time to reply, he raised his head and drank the cup of herbal tea with his head in his hand, and looked at Jiang Baoqing with a pair of big eyes: "Grandma, is there anything else?" ”

Chunqin couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You little girl, before you go back to your grandmother's words, you lied to a cup of herbal tea first, and asked if there was anything after drinking it, that is, our grandma has a good temper, otherwise I would have rolled you out earlier." ”

Jiang Baoqing smiled and said, "Okay, Chunqin, pour her another glass." ”

Chunqin saw Jiang Baoqing speak, and wanted to keep her face strained, but when she saw Xiaojing's eyes hurriedly handing over the teacup, she was a little nervous, and shook her head while laughing and brought Xiaojing another cup of herbal tea.

Xiaojing drank it all again, and then he seemed to come to life, and his mouth was very neat: "Grandma forgives her sins, the slave is really dizzy." She whispered to Chunqin again, "Sister Chunqin, don't annoy me, I'm sweating and almost covering my eyes." ”

Chunqin glanced at her, said with disgust, but couldn't help but hand a handkerchief in her hand: "Quickly wipe your sweat." ”

Xiao Jing wiped his sweat and replied to Jiang Baoqing's words: "Grandma just asked the slave what is the matter?" Oh yes, why do you know. She was a little dazed when she said this, "It was the slaves and maids who Sister Lilac came to instruct, saying that the cicada was disturbing Grandma's lunch break." ”

Jiang Baoqing suddenly understood, and his brows furrowed.

It just so happened that Lilac also came over with a bowl of peach and plum sauce ice cheese, with a smile on her lips, and looked at Jiang Baoqing with affection: "Grandma, this is made by the slave maid just let the person on the stove, can you taste it, does it suit your taste?" ”

Lilac is also a second-class maid, and she is an old man who has been in Jingxuan for many years, Jiang Baoqing is not good at giving her face in front of the little maid, so she nodded and asked Chunqin to take the bowl of peach and plum sauce ice cream and put it aside: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Lilac pressed the corners of her upturned mouth with some reserve.

Jiang Baoqing said to Xiaojing again: "You go and talk to those little maids, the weather is too hot now, and there is no need to stick the cicadas, let them come over and drink a bowl of herbal tea, and then go back to duty." ”

Xiaojing had an extremely bright smile on his face, and he didn't look at Lilac, whose face suddenly stiffened on the side, and gave Jiang Baoqing a blessing neatly, and said crisply: "Grandma's heart is really good, the slave will talk to them!" ”

After speaking, he didn't delay, turned around neatly and ran away, and didn't forget to pick up the sticky cicada pole that was placed aside when he went out.

Lilac looked at the back of Xiaojing running away, only to feel as if someone had slapped her face a few times.

For the sake of the grandmother, she let people stick to the cicada, the grandmother is good, step on her face to be a good person?!

Watching Jiang Baoqing pick up the bowl of peach and plum sauce ice cream and scoop a spoonful, Lilac finally couldn't help it, with a somewhat stiff smile, and just wanted to ask Jiang Baoqing if she did something wrong, but saw Jiang Baoqing frowning and put the bowl of peach and plum sauce ice cream back.

"It's so sweet." Jiang Baoqing shook his head.

These peaches and plums were originally pickled with sugar, but two spoonfuls of honey were poured on top of this ice cheese, which was really sweet and a little greasy, even if Jiang Baoqing loved sweets, he couldn't taste it.

Lilac looked at the bowl of peach and plum sauce ice cream that had been set aside, as if she understood something.

It turned out that the grandmother hated her so much that she didn't even bother to eat the ice cheese she brought.

She didn't do anything wrong, the big grandma was deliberately slapping her in the face!

No matter how attentive and careless she serves, the big grandmother can pick out the thorns!

……

Chunqin saw Lilac looking at the direction of the Water Pavilion in a daze, as if she was in a daze, she was frightened, and hurriedly pulled Latin's sleeve: "Sister Lilac, what are you doing in a daze." Didn't grandma say that she wanted to meet people and let us all step down? ”

Lilac came back to her senses, and saw that in the light veil of the Water Pavilion that was wide open on all sides, a well-dressed guard was returning something in front of Jiang Baoqing.

She clenched her fingers and smiled in a normal voice: "Chunqin, let's go." ”

……

Zheng Nan handed Jiang Baoqing two pieces of paper.

Jiang Baoqing took it and took a look, tore it into pieces casually, and threw it into the pond next to the water pavilion.

This is the marriage letter between Mi Liu and Xu Ximin, in duplicate, one in Xu Ximin's hand and one in the hand of Mi Liu's stepmother.

Jiang Baoqing didn't ask Zheng Nan about the means by which they retrieved the marriage letter from Miliu's stepmother.

The means are not important, the result is fine.

Zheng Nan saw that Jiang Baoqing had destroyed the marriage certificate, so he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.

Jiang Baoqing opened it and couldn't help but smile.

She had already retired from the maid, and the water pavilion was ventilated on all sides, but she was not afraid of someone eavesdropping outside, and she spoke a little more wantonly: "This is what Xu Ximin wrote?" ”

Zheng Nan nodded.

It's a confession.

It is written in detail how Xu Ximin, under the instigation of Mrs. Tang San, did the thing of framing Mi Liu.

Below is Xu Ximin's handprint, which looks like dried blood.

Jiang Baoqing said with emotion: "Bai Qi does things, which is very reassuring. ”

Zheng Nan couldn't help but pout.
