Because she learned that Mrs. Zhou's mother and daughter had moved away before entering the door, Jade took the opportunity to hide the purse and handkerchief that was originally going to be given to the Zhou family's mother and daughter, and only gave Mrs. Zhang's share.

Mrs. Zhang was still angry about the Zhou family's mother and daughter, her face was not very good, and Jade didn't dare to stay longer, so she put down her things and left.

Trotting all the way back to the county lord's mansion, Jade rushed straight to the inner courtyard, found Xiao Man who was drinking tea, gasped for breath, and said, "Madam, you... Guess, I went to Zhang's Mansion and went to Zhang's Mansion to see... What do you see? ”

After saying this, Jade stood in place with her waist crossed, constantly gasping for breath, her face flushed, and there were a lot of beads of sweat on her forehead.

Seeing this, Xiao Man didn't bother to listen to what the other party said, so he only frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ma'am, guess first." Emerald was still gasping for breath, but it had calmed down a bit.

"Uh... Mrs. Zhang is arguing with Mrs. Zhou? According to what Master Zhang said before, Xiaoman speculated.

Jade waved her hand, then took a long breath of relief, tried to calm her breathing, and said: "As soon as I arrived on the street where Zhang's Mansion is located, I saw Miss Zhou call a carriage, and then she and Mrs. Zhou moved out of Zhang's Mansion with a lot of luggage, loaded the luggage into the carriage, and the two left!" ”

Xu is jade couldn't speak clearly, and Xiaoman couldn't believe it, so she couldn't help asking, "What?" What does that mean? ”

Jade sighed and said a little anxiously: "Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou have moved away from Zhang's Mansion!" ”

"Huh?!" Xiaoman's mouth opened wide in shock.

Mrs. Zhou's mother and daughter are not familiar with the place in Bei'an City, and they have offended Lord Ouyang's family, and now that they have moved out of Zhang's mansion, where can they live? Or did they just take the carriage home?

Just when Xiaoman was thinking wildly, Jade said again: "I asked the little guy at the gate of Zhang's house, according to him, it was Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhou who had a big quarrel, in fact, Mrs. Zhou didn't want to move away, but she was directly pulled away by Zhou Xiaoxiao, and then the two didn't know what they said in the room, and Mrs. Zhou agreed to follow her away." ”

Don't look at these things just happened, but they have become a well-known thing in the Zhang Mansion, and those who looked at the Zhou family's mother and daughter unpleasantly in the past have long been happy.

"How do you know so much?" Xiao Man frowned.

Jade smiled proudly, "I listened to what the little guy at the door of Zhang's house said, listen to what he meant, the whole Zhang family doesn't like the mother and daughter of the Zhou family, especially those of them who are subordinates, who are often called by the mother and daughter of the Zhou family, and they have long been unpleasant." ”

It seems that this week Xiaoxiao is really as Jade said, this person is not so simple.

But if that's the case, do you still want to go to the banquet in the Drunken Immortal Building on the day of the Lantern Festival? If Mrs. Zhang or Mrs. Zhang know, wouldn't it be bad?

Xiao Man was entangled in his heart and couldn't help frowning.

"Madame, what do you think?" Jade said curiously.

"Have you forgotten what we were doing in town?" Xiao Man asked rhetorically, sighed a little helplessly, and raised his eyes to look at Jade, "I made an appointment before, I wanted to eat with the mother and daughter of the Zhou family on the day of the Lantern Festival, and now they have a big quarrel with Mrs. Zhang and moved out of Zhang's mansion, so can we still go to the banquet?" ”

As soon as she talked about this, Jade gradually smiled smugly and bit her lip, "Then what should I do?" Madam. ”

I have promised a good thing a long time ago, and this time I entered the city for the Lantern Festival, what kind of way should I think of to refuse the other party?

Xiao Man held his chin and sat in his position looking into the distance in a daze, not knowing what to do next.

When the two of them were in a dilemma, a small servant suddenly came outside to report, saying that the mother and daughter of the Zhou family came to visit Xiaoman with gifts.

Hearing this, Xiao Man and Jade couldn't help but glance at each other, she was a little surprised: "What should I do, how did they know about my return?" ”

"The minion doesn't know!" Jade is also very confused.

The master and servant looked at each other for a while, and the little maid who was waiting outside the door couldn't hear any movement for a long time, and couldn't help but ask again: "Madam, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou are waiting outside the door, do you want them to come in?" ”

"Don't!" Xiao Man subconsciously refused, and then she got up, walked to Xiao Wu while thinking, supported her chin with one hand, and bit her lower lip for relief: "You just say... Uh, say......"

What is the reason to prevaricate?

Just when Xiaoman was worried, Jade rushed up and said quickly: "You just said that Mrs. is sick and is resting now, and there is no way to receive them!" ”

Hearing this, the little guy raised his head, frowned and said, "Huh? Jade Girl, this... Do you really want to say that? ”

Mrs. was obviously staying in the mansion well, and her complexion was very good, and she went out of the city with Wang Dacui not long ago, how could she get sick so quickly? If the mother and daughter of the Zhou family saw the flaws in it, wouldn't it make it difficult for Mrs. to be a person in the future?

Not only did Xiaowu think this reason was ridiculous, but even Xiaoman felt that the trick of pretending to be sick was too easy to be recognized, so while Xiaowu hadn't left yet, she shook her head again and again, "No, you must not pretend to be sick, otherwise it will be too easy to be seen through." ”

"What does the lady want?" Emerald was deflated, her shoulders drooping.

Judging from the current situation, Mrs. doesn't want to receive the mother and daughter of the Zhou family, and even wants to resign from the Lantern Festival banquet three days later, but what kind of reason should I find to prevaricate perfectly?

Thinking about it, Jade couldn't help but look sideways at Xiao Man, who was in a dilemma.

The other party paced around the door, his eyebrows furrowed, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "Go and invite them in." ”

Xiao Wu and Jade were both stunned, but looking at Xiao Man's firm gaze, Xiao Wu did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to answer, and then turned to leave. But Jade became more and more puzzled, she chased Xiaoman back to the house, "Madam, what are you inviting them to come in?" Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?! ”

"Let's see what they're doing here, and I'll decide if I want to go to the feast in three days."

Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Xiaoxiao have been courting themselves this week, and Xiaoman didn't understand what the other party meant by doing this, after all, Mrs. Zhang was their relative, far closer than herself, an outsider.

But now after hearing that they had a big quarrel with Mrs. Zhang, Xiao Man realized that they had begun to flatter themselves early on, probably just so that they could still have someone to rely on in Bei'an City after they had a stalemate with Mrs. Zhang.

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that they immediately came to their own mansion to show their goodwill after moving out of Zhang's mansion.

It's just that after Mrs. Zhang and the others came back from Ouyang's mansion, Lord Zhang kept coming to his mansion for a while, didn't the mother and daughter of the Zhou family know? Or are they confident that Zhang Shangqi will not tell them what happened in the Ouyang family?

"Madam, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou have arrived."

Jade's reminder made Xiao Man withdraw from her thoughts, she sat on the right seat, and smiled lightly at the two people in the hall, "The two of you are really rare guests, why did you remember me here today?" But is there something going on? ”

She just wants to pretend that she doesn't know, so that the other party can reveal their true thoughts.

"The county lord laughed, I heard that the county lord came back from the suburbs, our mother and daughter didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately came to greet you." After a few days, Mrs. Zhou became more and more able to speak, only to see her covering her lips with a handkerchief and smiling, her eyes full of flattery.

Xiao Man just smiled slightly, and then looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao, "How is it, is Xiaoxiao's marriage missing?" Which young talent in the city caught your eye? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was originally very dignified and self-controlled, with a faint smile on her face, stiffened her face, although she reacted quickly, but the stiffness and annoyance of that moment still did not escape Xiao Man's eyes.

I only heard Zhou Xiaoxiao say: "County Lord, I am not familiar with the place in this Bei'an City, I am introverted, and my appearance is ordinary, and my talent is less than one-ten-thousandth of the county lord, even if I have someone I like, the other party may not even know who I am." ”

After coming to Bei'an City for so long, Xiaoman has never seen anyone who can pat himself better than Zhou Xiaoxiao.

If these words were put before, Xiao Man would only simply think that the other party was humble, but now that she learned the truth, she only felt ridiculous when she heard it again.

However, since the other party came to these false tricks, Xiaoman was also unambiguous, she smiled exaggeratedly, "Xiaoxiao, you are too modest to say this, look at your appearance, it is rare to see a beauty once in thousands of years, how can you be mediocre?" ”

Saying that, Xiao Man couldn't stop the car more and more, and praised the other party vigorously: "To be honest, when I first saw you, I thought it was a fairy in the sky who came down to earth, and a beautiful person like you should be the object of everyone's pursuit." Although people can't be too conceited, but like you, it's a little too modest, Xiaoxiao, you have to be confident! ”

Although Xiaoman had praised Zhou Xiaoxiao before, he had never praised each other so intensively and exaggeratedly, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family were stunned for a moment, and the two looked at each other, almost forgetting their true purpose of coming to the county lord's mansion.

Mrs. Zhou cleared her throat, and after laughing dryly, she said a little stiffly: "County Lord, in fact, we came this time to ask you to help us. ”

"Yes, county lord, if our mother and daughter are not desperate, they will never come to trouble you, please help us." According to what was said before, Zhou Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip, forced a few tears out of the corners of her eyes, lowered her head and whimpered.

Seeing this, Xiao Man knew that the other party's fox tail was finally about to be revealed! She couldn't help but get excited, but she still had to pretend to be puzzled on her face, pretending to be concerned: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Mrs. Zhou hung her head slightly, covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and cried: "Actually, we really don't want to trouble the county lord, but in this Bei'an City, we are not familiar with the place, and we were betrayed by our closest relatives, so our mother and daughter really have no choice......"

"County Lord, we were kicked out by our aunt and uncle-in-law, and we don't even have a place to live."
