He stared at the uncomfortable fat sister-in-law with a cold gaze, and snorted coldly, "You have done a lot of evil yourself, in order to get Qingyun's thirty taels of bounty to frame Liu Wang's family, don't you get it from the truth quickly, otherwise let Changlin twist you to the yamen, and the county official has his own way to tell you the truth." ”

When the fat sister-in-law saw that her deeds were exposed, she knelt on the ground in fright and shouted, "I was wronged, I didn't steal the meat, it was the Wang family who stole it, she was lying." ”

Saying that, she looked at Zhou as if asking for help, and said with a finger in her hand, "I don't believe you ask Cui Ling, she knows what kind of person I am, this meat is really not stolen by me, if I lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky." ”

Seeing what she said, Liu Xigui was also confused, and the people in the workshop asked, no one found the fat sister-in-law acting strangely, could it be that there was someone else who stole meat?

His mind spun around quickly, his eyes glanced at Liu Changlin, who was smiling on his face, and he understood a little in his heart.

"Hmph, can someone prove that you stole it, Ziling, tell what you saw and tell everyone who is the meat thief?"

Zi Ling looked at Qingyun timidly.

Qingyun held Doubao's hand tightly, but he could only swallow his anger in his heart, so he had to nod to Ziling.

So Ziling repeated what she saw, the fat sister-in-law was dumbfounded, she was speechless, and Liu Xigui didn't believe that she didn't steal meat.

When Liu Wang's family saw this, he immediately instigated his eldest son to escort the fat sister-in-law to the county seat to report to the official, and finally Liu Xigui became the middleman and asked the fat sister-in-law to pay ten taels of silver to Qingyun, and the matter was hastily settled.

After dinner, Zi Ling found that Qingyun left the little master alone and sat by the window in a daze, so she asked curiously, "Miss, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Qingyun came back to his senses and smiled faintly, "I'm a little tired." ”

"Miss, you should rest early, Master Doubao has me to coax you to sleep."

Qingyun shook his head, picked up the lantern and said, "I'll go outside to check, I'm afraid it's going to be windy this day, if it rains tomorrow, I'll give everyone a day off to rest." ”

Ziling picked up Doubao, who stretched out her arm for her to hold, sighed and said, "It would be nice if Brother Lin was here, the work of patrolling outside is his, he is here, and the fat sister-in-law will not dare to bully us." ”

Qingyun's heart sank, Lin Xu Ao had been away from here for almost eight or nine months, and she thought that she had long forgotten the existence of this person, but after Zi Ling mentioned it, she realized that she had a great grudge against him.

"It's better to rely on others than on yourself, don't say such things in the future, we just live our own lives."

She was suddenly upset and irritable, and her tone of voice couldn't help but be a little high, and the frightened Ziling shrank her shoulders and hugged Doubao to the side to play.

There was a strong wind in the night, and Qingyun was worried that the roof of the workshop would be blown away, and wanted to go out to have a look, but the door couldn't be opened, and the two masters and servants were in a hurry to circle in the house.

In the past two days, I made nearly 100 catties of sauce meat for Fumanlou, and put them in the workshop, although there is a courtyard wall around it, but it can't stop such a strong wind.

Listening to the farm tools in the yard that were jingling by the strong wind, Doubao suddenly cried with a "wow", Qingyun was stunned there, and Ziling pushed her in surprise for a while, and exclaimed, "Miss, Young Master Doubao will cry!" ”

How can a child cry so much at this juncture? Qingyun was frightened and frightened, walking on the ground with Doubao in his arms, singing a lullaby to him, and finally calmed him down, but as soon as he put it on the kang, he woke up and immediately opened his voice and cried.

Xu is the bad weather outside scared the child, Qingyun really doesn't know whether to thank or complain, the child will cry is also a good thing, sometimes she will think, the child does not cry is not knowing that he has no father, in her stomach learned to be strong.

Anyway, I couldn't sleep, so I asked Ziling to come over with a needlework and learn to tie the strings.

"Miss, who called you this? It's beautiful. ”

Zi Ling picked up the plum blossom strings wrapped with colorful silk threads in the luo, and couldn't put it down, I really don't know who has such a skillful hand and conceived such a beautiful style.

Qingyun is eyes blackened, when he went to sell jade, he felt that it looked good, so he stayed, and slowly learned that a beautiful, cleverly conceived network can also be sold for a good price.

Ziling will not be with her for the rest of her life, and when she is old, she will be released to let her marry. She can do these handicrafts, so it is better to train her in this area, at least she can survive by this in the future, and she will not serve herself in vain.

The wind became tighter and tighter, and the two of them sat under the lamp doing needlework, when suddenly Ziling raised her head in panic and stammered, "Miss, did you hear any noise?" ”

Qingyun straightened his back, made a silent gesture to Zi Ling, and listened to the strange sound mixed in the wind.

The big iron door made a rhythmic beating sound, and it seemed that someone was shouting something, and if you listened carefully, it was clear that someone was calling the door.

Zi Ling trembled with fright, and tugged at Qingyun's clothes to prevent her from going out.

"Miss, I should have gone to see it, you protect Young Master Doubao." She said with tears in her voice.

Qingyun patted her on the shoulder, smiled and shook her head.

She has no class distinction, she has always regarded Ziling as her sister, and she naturally protects her when she is in danger.

Finally squeezing out through the crack in the door, Qingyun stood in the iron door in horror and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Sister-in-law, we are passing by, and we can't walk on a windy day, seeing that you have a light here, I will come over with a cheeky face to ask for convenience, can I let my two sisters take shelter from the wind?"

Outside the door was a woman's voice, Qingyun hesitated for a moment, opened a crack in the door, and saw the two people standing outside covered with hats and veils.

Brought people into the house, the two took off their hats and veils on their heads, and they were dressed in black clothes, their hair stood up and dressed as men, in their early twenties, and the younger ones standing behind them, they were heroic and sassy, and the women did not let them shave their eyebrows, no wonder they dared to walk at night in this weather.

"Madame!" The goose-egg face of the woman who spoke was calmer than the round-faced girl behind her, and after seeing the child in the house, she quickly changed her words.

"We are from Cangzhou, my name is Suyi, and my sister Caiyi."

"My name is Song Qingyun, this is my Yahuan Ziling, I still have a room here, you sisters go there and rest."

Ziling pouted reluctantly, it was the room where Brother Lin lived.

After arranging for the two to stay, Qingyun told Ziling to turn off the lights and go to sleep, she gently patted Doubao, who was restless in sleep, and listened to the wind all night.

In the west wing, Su Yi looked around, untied the package behind him, and Cai Yi hurriedly took it over, and said excitedly.

"Sister, it looks like we've found the right place."

Su Yi looked at her in surprise, "Why do you say this?"

Caiyi replied without thinking, "I found that in the kang table, there are plum blossoms played by Miss Liu. ”

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and said coldly, "It's just a coincidence, maybe that lady will do it too." ”

"Impossible, Miss Liu said that only she can play plum blossoms, and when I left, I went to see her play, and ordinary people can't play at all, it's very complicated." Caiyi eagerly argued.

Su Yi, who had already stripped off his clothes, lowered his head and said, "Okay, let's observe again tomorrow, don't act rashly, so as not to startle the snake." ”
