Xiao Xia walked in at this time, and saw the tea bowl fall from her mother's hand to the ground, and the expressions of the people in the room were strange and ugly. When I saw Shen Hui's smug smile, I understood that this-stirring stick was making trouble again.

"Xiao Xia, just now my sister-in-law said, did you say that your mother's identity is unknown, is it a slave?"

Xiao Xia frowned when she heard Xiao Chun's words that were a little confused, and understood what was going on. Shen Hui must have eavesdropped on what she shouldn't have heard, and she spread it everywhere. Why can't you get married and don't stop, just like a dog skin plaster, can't you get rid of it?

"I didn't say this, sister-in-law, did you listen to me? Why do I say that to you? Xiao Xia held the delicate small silver hand stove, sat on the chair indifferently, and asked Shen Hui.

"You don't have to quibble, I heard with my own ears what you said to a strange man. You muttered in the backyard thinking I couldn't hear? Shen Hui deliberately told everyone that Xiao Xia was misbehaving.

"What is my sister-in-law doing in the backyard?" Xiao Xia asked rhetorically again, diverging Shen Hui's intentions.

Although it was a rhetorical question, it did not give Shen Hui a chance to speak. "Did my sister-in-law come to my house as a guest, or did she deliberately come to find trouble with dissatisfaction? You say my mother's origin is unknown? What evidence do you have? ”

Shen Hui trembled angrily, pointed at Shen Xiaoxia and said, "I heard from you." I ......"

"I didn't say that. Either sister-in-law you heard it wrong, or sister-in-law you spread rumors and make trouble. What the hell do you think about yourself? Don't you see my family as good? ”

"You ......"

"If you don't like it, you can not come in the future, but if you are looking for something to do, don't blame me for picking people now."

"You ......"

"Mother, just put your heart in your stomach! Don't listen to boring people, you will always be the most beloved mother in my heart. ”

Xiao Wang's heart was moved when she heard it, she was still intimate with her daughter, what Shen Hui said just now was reasonable, and she almost believed it.

Probably Shen Hui was wrong! Xiao Wang comforted himself like this in his heart, and he didn't blame Shen Hui, and the matter was over.

Shen Hui's face was getting thicker and thicker, even if it was so unpleasant, she still stayed at Shen Zhong's house to have a relatively hearty dinner, and when she left, she took away five catties of fatty pork.

When she was leaving, she looked at the resentful, jealous and unwilling eyes of Xiao Xia's sisters, and Xiao Xia felt that her pork was really fed to the white-eyed wolf.

The day before the New Year, the weather suddenly became unusually cold, and even though there were two stoves in the house, I still didn't feel warm.

News came from Fengyun Villa again, Zezhou's disaster relief silver taels had been allocated, and the imperial court had allocated a total of 300,000 taels of silver, and there were only 50,000 taels left in the hands of the people. And the roster of corrupt officials was also sent to Xiao Xia at the same time.

Xiao Xia received the roster and took Chunhua and Shen Fei out overnight, the people were hungry and cold, and the corrupt officials were overly happy.

Xiao Xia cleaned up one by one according to the names on the roster, from near to far. When he entered the mansion of a corrupt official, he really plucked his feathers, as long as he looked at all the robberies that he thought was worth some silver, he didn't even let go of the jewelry that the concubine put on the dresser.

This New Year, the people complained bitterly for two days, and some people were really frightened, that is, corrupt officials. In just half a month, the mansions of five or six corrupt officials have been ransacked, and these officials have followed the people, complaining bitterly, but they can only be dumb and unable to say that Coptis chinensis is bitter.

The robbers are all corrupt officials, eight out of ten officials are greedy, one has nothing to be greedy for, and the remaining one is different.

So this New Year, all the corrupt officials are terrified, because until now, even whether the thieves are men or women, old or young, and how many people have committed crimes, do not know at all.

The government was in a hurry, arresting people all over the street, but such a large batch of property seemed to have disappeared half of it out of thin air, leaving not even a trace of a shadow.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the flower viewing banquet is being held in the flower warming pavilion of the Taishou Mansion in Shaoyang City.

The entire Stop Flower Warming Pavilion is built with colored glazed pieces, and there are four large gold and bronze heaters burning in it at the same time, even in the cold winter, the entrance is still as warm as spring.

Not only the temperature is as warm as spring, the scenery is also as delicate as spring, a hundred flowers are vibrant, fragrant overflowing, a pavilion is built in the middle of the tall flower stop warm pavilion, the pavilion is surrounded by warm spring water brought in from the outside, the heat on the water surface is upwell, and the fog in the low place is clear, just like a fairyland.

It is almost noon, and the guests in the Warm Pavilion have basically arrived, and the young boys and girls are in groups of three or five, laughing and playing from time to time, and enjoying the scenery everywhere. In fact, the flowers and plants here are nothing to these young ladies and sons who are used to seeing wealth, and it is rare to enjoy such a scenery in winter.

"Look, Miss Song is here."

This flower-viewing banquet was held by Song Baiyi, the daughter of Zezhou Taishou, as the eldest daughter of Zezhou Taishou, in Shaoyang City, there is no young lady who dares not to give her face.

As his name suggests, the people in white are always dressed in white all year round, clean and refined. Needless to say, the appearance of the closed moon and the appearance of a shy flower.

Recognized as the No. 1 beauty in Zezhou.

"Sister Song, why are you here! I'm anxious. ”

Song Baiyi smiled faintly, like a snow lotus blooming, I don't know how many young talents I am fascinated by. "Don't blame my cousin, my father has been worrying about the thief recently, and as a daughter, I can't help my father solve his worries, it's my fault."

"Sister Song is naturally smart, did she think of any good way? Let's hear about it. ”

"It's a secret, and it won't work if you say it." Song Baiyi smiled confidently.

"Miss Song is a well-known smart person in our Zezhou, I remember that Mr. Guo Dong also praised Miss Song in public for casting the wrong girl, otherwise she must be the best talent."

"Who said that the wrong birth was cast, Miss Song is the first beauty in our Zezhou, can this be regarded as the wrong birth?"

Song Baiyi enjoyed the popularity of everyone, and was extremely satisfied, but his face was always indifferent, and he smiled humbly and reasonably.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the flower feast has officially begun, after the performance, I am here to hope that you can donate a piece of your love, starting on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, I will use the silver we donated to build a porridge shed at the gate of the city to help the people." Song Baiyi waved her hand, and the maid who had been following her stepped forward with a tray, lifted the red cloth, and placed a neat silver ingot.

"I'll throw bricks and donate 1,000 taels of silver first."

"Sister Song is loving, how can I not study hard, I donate eight hundred taels."

"Cousin Mu, sister is here to thank you for your support."

"Sister Song is polite to me!" The two looked at each other and smiled.

Whether the two of them are true or false, they are still a little jealous in the eyes of outsiders, and these official ladies have a small circle of friends of their own. But who can get close to Song Baiyi, the eldest daughter of Song Taishou, has an absolutely unusual status.

As long as there are people, there is gossip.

"Ever heard a phrase that has been going on lately?"

"What?"

"Arson, anti-theft, anti-cousin. "......The girl in purple who spoke was a round-faced, chubby, and laughed with two pear vortices.
