After two days, Gu Yanyi didn't send anything over, and Jin Nian's restless heart gradually calmed down.

She took out the portrait of the mother-in-law and instructed Du Juan, Yingge, and the second grandmother of Lin Gong to look for people in the houses of the house. In the middle of the day, several people talked back and forth one after another: "...... Even the stables were searched, and there was not even a person who looked like them. ”

Several people were depressed.

As expected, Jin Nian persuaded in turn: "If it was so easy to find, Mama Lin should have encountered it in the mansion for many years." ”

She took the portrait to Yingge: "You take it to the street and find the person who passed on the portrait to paint a portrait to draw more than a dozen more pictures according to the original painting, and let the shopkeeper Song post more missing person notices in the city in his name." If anyone finds the shop or provides a clue, let him come and send me a message immediately. ”

The search for her mother-in-law has been known to Gu Yanyi, and the portrait has also been obtained, and the search for people should also be carried out in the open, and the horizontal and vertical is in the name of the shopkeeper of Song as a disguise, and the people in the house will not suspect her.

Yingge should be down.

Jin Nian said: "You can take your time to find people, but ......" looked at the cuckoo coldly, "The person around me who can't keep eating inside and outside and taking my words as wind in his ears!" ”

Du Juan panicked in his heart, and consciously stood in front of Jinnian.

Jin Nian was so annoyed that he couldn't get angry, and said: "Looking for the matter of Nian Jushi, I said that I would look for it quietly and not let acquaintances know, but what about you?" ”

Du Juan had a weak heart, and said stubbornly: "It's me who is stupid, if I had known that the scholar knew Shaquan, even if the young lady borrowed my thousands of guts, I wouldn't dare to trust people at will...... I beg Miss to spare me this time. ”

If Miss knew that she was directly looking for Gu Yanyi for help, I was afraid that she would not be able to stay in the mansion in the future, and Gu Yanyi's order to her was to stay with Miss.

Jin Nian was silent and stared at the cuckoo coldly.

The cuckoo lowered her head, she had betrayed the young lady, and had thought that there would be such a day. After waiting for a long time for his young lady to speak, the cuckoo knelt down straight: "Miss, for the sake of me serving you for many years, spare me this time!" ”

Before Jin Nian moved, Mama Lin on the side had already stepped forward to intercede: "...... It's all to find someone to paint the portrait of my sister, and the cuckoo is also in a hurry. Since the matter started because of me, if the young lady wants to punish the cuckoo, how can I be at peace with this? ”

She begged Jinnian to spare the cuckoo this time, and Yingge and Gong Mama also stepped forward to intercede when they saw this.

The cuckoo brushed his little face white, and kept kowtowing.

Such a scene is similar to when she begged that woman to let her go in her previous life!

Jin Nian sighed heavily, let Yingge help the cuckoo, and said in a deep voice: "Nian is that you have always been loyal, and Mama Lin interceded for you again, I will punish you to be a sprinkler and sweeper in the courtyard, and you are not allowed to wait in the house without my permission, let alone walk around in other yards." If there is no mistake within three months, I will make another decision, do you have any objections? ”

She told Mama Lin last night that she didn't plan to keep the cuckoo anymore, but Mama Lin said that there were few people around her who knew the roots. This time she can't blame Du Juan for everything, she asked a middleman to help, who knew that the middleman would know Shaquan......

Gong Mama means that the small punishment and the big admonition will make the cuckoo remember it for a long time, and ensure that everything will be properly pasted in the future.

The cuckoo has been worried for two days, and now that the punishment has come down, it is a lot easier in vain, where can there be any dissensibility: "Thank you, Miss......" In the matter of finding people, her own young lady has a lot of taboos against Gu Gongzi, and now she is only punished to go to the yard to do sprinkling, which is already extraordinarily gracious.

Jin Nian snorted coldly, looked at the people in front of him, and warned: "In the future, without my permission, all of you, for whatever reason, are not allowed to leave the mansion at will, let alone have dealings with the people on Gu Gongzi's side." "The people around Gu Yanyi are very ghostly, and if they are not careful, they will follow their way. 228 Literature Network

Several people hurriedly answered "yes" in unison.

Mama Gong complained bitterly in her heart, Gu Yanyi asked her to investigate the affairs of Mama Lin and her sisters, if she couldn't go out of the house, how could she find out? She once asked Mama Lin, Yingge and even Shopkeeper Song to investigate, but the family stuck to their lips and didn't show any flaws......

Yingge had pulled the cuckoo out of the door, Jin Nian still had a cold face, and she was still angry about the cuckoo.

Mama Gong clenched her hand at her side, walked up to Jin Nian and proposed, "Since we can't find anyone in the house, we might as well look for the village and shop where the eldest lady, second lady, and fourth lady are married." "After going through so many places, she should be able to get the things Gu Yanyi accountable.

Jin Nian originally had this plan, and when he heard this, he added: "The Zhuangzi on the other side of the clan sacrifice field should also be searched." ”

In this way, the most likely place for the woman to live can almost be traced.

Jin Nian immediately allowed Mama Gong to take a long vacation. Mama Gong didn't dare to delay, so she simply packed her luggage when she returned to the room, and went out of the house when Yingge came back with the portrait.

Approaching the Buddha's birthday, Liu sent someone to the prefect's mansion to pick up Zhang.

When Jin Nian saw her in Ronghua Hall, Zhang was sitting on the circle chair at the bottom left of the old lady, wearing a mud skirt with red gold branches and green leaves, still looking rich and compelling.

Jin Nian greeted An, and stood aside to listen to the elders.

The old lady asked Su Jintong to go to the wing room to get a pillow for her to put on her waist, and sighed: "As I get older, my waist and legs are getting more and more unfavorable...... "This Yang Ru has also been going for nearly a month, is Mrs. Yang better?" ”

Zhang sighed "sigh", put down the teacup and replied: "I only drink a few mouthfuls of rice soup all day, where can it be good?" The maid who served her had secretly told me that Mrs. Yang had sought out her short-sightedness and begged me to persuade her more. I originally thought that the Buddha's Birthday was also coming, so I wanted to invite her to go to the incense with me in the face of my in-laws, so as to relax, but I couldn't persuade her if I said it! ”

When the old lady heard that Mrs. Yang had found a short-term view, she was also shocked in her heart, and said: "It is said that raising children to prevent old age, but when they are old, they are all wronged debts of their children." ”

Zhang chimed in: "Who said it wasn't. It's not that I invite credit, in the prefect's mansion for a few days, I don't dare to leave Mrs. Yang's room for a single step, for fear that she will want to leave again, how safe I am! Fortunately, her eldest concubine came over today, and if my mother hadn't sent someone to pick me up, I wouldn't have been able to come back with confidence. ”

When Jin Nian heard this, his eyes flashed slightly. She remembered the scene a few days ago, when Zhang, together with Lu Jingxian's mother and daughter, talked and laughed into the jade pot spring to drink tea.

The old lady shook Zhang's hand: "It's rare that Mrs. Gu has this heart, and she is busy before and after...... To put it mildly, this Yang Ru hasn't entered the door yet, and she is not the daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, and now that Mrs. Gu treats her like this, she is not a waste of time in the world. ”

Zhang shook his head and sighed: "I alone have this heart, but I can't stand it......"

The meaning of this is that someone can't see Mrs. Yang?

The old lady frowned, "Oh? With a sigh, he leaned sideways to Zhang and asked in a low voice, "Is there here...... What's hidden? ”

Zhang glanced at everyone present, and saw that they were all the female dependents of the Su Mansion, so he sighed and said, "Blame my uncompetitive nephew...... You said that Governor Yang was also his father-in-law, but this Miss Yang's bones are not cold, so he checked his father-in-law's account, and the two things are coerced, where can Mrs. Yang get better! I persuaded him that it would not be too late for Governor Yang to take a breath and then investigate, but he replied that he could not seek personal gain. ”

She was talking about Li Lie's order to investigate the salt case.

The old lady nodded, it was a matter of government affairs, the Zhang family was Li Lie's aunt, and as an elder, it was not an exaggeration to say anything about Li Lie. But she is an outsider, but she is not a grandfather of the country who is not good at beaking.
