"Huh?" Zhang Shangqi didn't react for a while, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked blankly, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Lin looked at each other outside, funny and helpless: "Mingzhe protects his life, I don't think you don't understand, right?" As I said, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved. ”

"It's... How can this be the same? Zhang Shangqi reacted quickly this time.

He quickly vetoed the other party, and then explained: "You named you to see the drawings of the county lord's mansion, but you didn't tell me why, what if... What if—"

Li Lin was even more helpless when he heard this, "Don't worry, what I did will definitely not endanger the safety of the county lord's family, you should rest assured now, right?" ”

With that, Li Lin got up and walked in front of Zhang Shangqi, put his hands on the other party's shoulders, and prepared to push the other party out.

"Oops!" Zhang Shangqi hurriedly grabbed the table on the side and said anxiously: "Li Lin, what do you want to do?" I'm also an old minister in the court, you... Don't rely on the king to trust you, you will treat me like this! ”

After that, there were a lot of truths about the people, and Li Lin's head was big when he heard it.

"Alright, alright!" Li Lin let go of the other party, then leaned back on the table, rubbing his eyebrows with a headache, "I can tell you about this, but you have to promise that you can't say it no matter what!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Shangqi agreed very happily.

Li Lin took a deep breath, from the bandits' interception of Hua Li and Wang Youhe, to the kidnapping of Wangshu, Xiao Man and Lu Li to pay for ransom, and then they inadvertently learned that the bandits were instructed by some people and wanted to do it again, as well as a series of plans agreed upon by him, Wang Shang and Lu Li, all of which were said.

In short, Li Lin told Zhang Shangqi the whole thing.

Except for the fact that the king asked Chu Yu to be ordered to exterminate the bandits just to test Chu Yu, nothing else was left behind.

"That's what happened." Zhang Shangqi nodded thoughtfully, his brows furrowed.

No wonder Xiaoman rarely went to Zhang's Mansion during this time, it turned out that such a thing happened in her mansion, but she and her wife had not gone out for a long time, and they didn't know that there was such a big movement in Bei'an City.

It seems that I will have to ask my wife to visit the county lord's mansion later, and if there is anything that can help, I can also help.

However, Chu Yu is still young and inexperienced, so let him exterminate the bandits, is it a bit ......

"Master Zhang, I've told you everything, now you can always go, right?" Li Lin said.

Zhang Shangqi smiled, "Okay, okay, but Master Li, your plan is very good, but I think there is something wrong." ”

"Oh?" Li Lin raised his eyebrows.

"Lord Li has already served as the commander of the palace at a young age, and in addition to his friendship with the king, he also has enough skills, plus——"

Before he finished speaking, Li Lin hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt, "Master Zhang, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't flatter me like this." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shangqi smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Actually, I just want to say that this operation to exterminate the bandits has Prince Chu Yu fully responsible, is there some... Uh, something is wrong? ”

Chu Yu is a prince after all, so he naturally has to be careful when he speaks.

"Master Zhang, this is the king's decision, it's useless for you to tell me that it's not appropriate." Li Lin was much more serious, he coughed lightly, and made a "please" gesture, "Master Zhang, I have already made it clear to you what I should say, and you should go back." ”

"I... Ay! All right! Zhang Shangqi wanted to say something more, but as soon as he touched Li Lin's tough attitude, he had to compromise and turn around.

After Zhang Shangqi left, Li Lin hurriedly closed the door, then sighed lightly, covered his chest and secretly feared: Fortunately, he didn't show his stuffing, otherwise if Zhang Shangqi saw the clues, it would be over.

At this time, Zhang Shangqi, who had already left the Li Mansion, did not notice the abnormality of Li Lin's attitude at all, he was in a hurry, and he only wanted to hurry home so that his wife could visit the county lord's mansion, so that he could see if there was anyone he could help.

Back at Zhang's Mansion, Zhang Shangqi hurriedly told Mrs. Zhang everything he had just known, and then ordered someone to prepare some silver taels so that his wife could send them to the county lord's mansion.

Mrs. Zhang also knew the urgency of the matter, so she didn't ask much, and only took the upper and lower people and went directly to the county lord's mansion.

She hadn't been in contact for a long time, and when she stood in front of the county lord's mansion, she still blamed herself a little, she thought: If she could pay more attention to the movements of the county lord's mansion, she wouldn't have known about the changes in the county lord's mansion so late, and at this time, I don't know if it's a little late.

Just thinking about it, the little maid in front of the county lord's mansion ran down and asked with a smile, "Is Mrs. Zhang here to find our wife?" ”

She'd been here a few times before, but it just so happened that this little guy remembered it.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Mrs. Zhang is polite, the slave will go to Madame! She'll be glad she's here to know. ”

As Xiao Man said, Xiao Man was very happy to learn that Mrs. Zhang was coming, and she brought her subordinates out to greet her in person, with a smile on her face, and her steps were much lighter than before.

"Why did you come out in person?" Mrs. Zhang was very surprised, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute Xiao Man, but before she could bend her knees, she was stopped by Xiao Man.

Xiaoman said with a smile: "I was busy during this time, and I couldn't go to Madame's house, so I hope Madame is not strange." ”

"The county lord is too polite, I just learned that there are so many things going on in your house, speaking of which, I should apologize to you." Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang felt a little guilty, she held Xiao Man's hand and sighed softly.

"Madame, don't say that, it makes me feel more guilty." As he spoke, Xiao Man beckoned Pearl over, and with the help of the other party, he smiled and said, "It's windy outside, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Mrs. Zhang was about to respond, but suddenly saw Xiaoman's limping walking posture, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "This... What's going on? You're ...... foot."

When I learned what happened in the county lord's mansion during this time in the mansion before, why didn't I mention Xiaoman's foot? How do you ...... this walking position?

Just when Mrs. Zhang was secretly surprised and her face became more and more ugly, Xiao Man hurriedly turned around and explained, "It's not in the way, it's just that I sprained my foot when I went up the mountain, and now it's almost better, and it will be cured soon." ”

Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

The two entered the house, Xiao Man sat on the soft collapse with the support of Pearl, and Mrs. Zhang sat opposite her, staring at Xiao Man for a long time, and then frowned and sighed: "This time should be very hard, right?" Look at your face, you've lost a lot of weight. ”

"Really?" Xiao Man subconsciously touched his face, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's nothing, it's just that I encountered some trouble, so I'm a little anxious." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "County Lord, in fact, I came this time to want—"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the bedroom suddenly squeaked, and Wang Youhe walked in with Xiao Xue excitedly, "Sister Xiaoman, the things you explained to us before have been——"

"Ahem." Xiao Man frowned and interrupted, "Didn't you see any guests?" Something, I'll talk about it later. ”

"It's out of the way." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly waved her hand and smiled, and then raised a gentle smile at Wang Youhe, "Since you still have something to do, then I'll go first." ”

Seeing this, Wang Youhe hurriedly explained: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big deal." ”

Xiao Man also agreed: "Mrs. Zhang, you sit down first, we haven't seen each other for so long, I still have a lot to say to you, don't leave so soon." ”

Seeing that both of them kept themselves, and listening to each other's tone didn't seem to be anything important, Mrs. Zhang continued to sit on the soft couch according to Xiaoman's meaning, and watched them talk with a smile.

Wang Youhe took out the sample clothes that she and Xiaoxue had made, full of pride, "Sister Xiaoman, look, we have made this clothes, you first see if there are any deficiencies, and we can take them back in time to correct them!" ”

Xiao Man nodded, and was about to speak to encourage the two of them, when he heard Xiao Xue on the side lowering her head and whispering; "Madame, these days I... I'm a bit messy, so some places aren't doing very well....."

A few days ago, Wang died suddenly, and Xiaoxue, who was closest to Wang, was greatly shaken, and his spirit has not been very good for a few days, and he is always listless.

I thought that she and Wang Youhe came to her room together today, and she had recovered a little, but she didn't expect that she was still sick.

Xiao Man sighed secretly, but she still had to smile on her face, she encouraged: "I believe in the craftsmanship of the two of you, not to mention that this is the first time, it is normal to have something bad, just correct it next time." ”

"Yes, yes, Sister Xiaoman is right." Wang Youhe also echoed very interestingly, she put her hand on Xiaoxue's shoulder, and comforted: "I think you are much better than me, Xiaoxue, you are too modest." ”

These days she lives in the same courtyard with Xiaoxue, and she sees every move of the other party, since the death of the Wang family, Xiaoxue has obviously lost her spirit, and the whole person is gloomy, and she is like two people before.

I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see the sample clothes to enlighten the other party, but I didn't expect that Xiaoxue was still not angry at all.

Wang Youhe was thinking wildly, but was interrupted by the admiration of Xiao Man next to her, she looked up, and saw Xiao Man holding the sample clothes made by Xiao Xue, his eyes widened slightly, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he said with surprise: "Xiao Xue, in fact, you did a good job, it didn't look like the first time you did it." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Man rubbed to Mrs. Zhang's side again, handed the clothes in his hand to the other party, his eyes were shining, and he said proudly: "Mrs. Zhang, look at this dress, is it very beautiful?" ”

"Beautiful and delicate, and clever in thought." Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyes, looked at the embroidery on the clothes, the legs, and those ingenious designs, nodded involuntarily, and asked, "It's so beautiful, how much does this dress cost?" ”
