……

The inner courtyard of the Yingwu Marquis Mansion.

"Sister Beauty!" Xu Wei was wearing deerskin boots, and the embroidered culottes on her lower body were tucked into the boots, looking so heroic and neat. She stood on tiptoe and waved at the woman in the courtyard, smiling out of the crescent moon eyes.

The woman raised her head when she heard the voice, and a soft smile appeared on her face: "Slow down, the road is slippery in the snow, don't fall." ”

She tilted her head and whispered to the maid next to her, "Si'er, go and move a chair again." ”

The maid who called Si'er "belched" briskly and retreated with a smile.

Xu Wei wrinkled her nose playfully: "I haven't been here for so long, and the beautiful sister doesn't want to be a girl?" ”

Tang Jiaren looked at her coquettishly with amusement: "It's so old, it's still like a child, are you ashamed?" ”

Xu Wei walked up to the front and grabbed Tang Jiaren's arm and shook it: "As long as you are in front of Sister Beauty and Brother Yongkang, you will always be a child." ”

There was another maid standing quietly next to Tang Jiaren, and she pouted when she heard this: "Miss Xu's title is really strange, either she calls the young master brother-in-law, or she calls the young grandmother and sister-in-law, why are my brothers and sisters so rude?" ”

Xu Yu was stunned when she heard this, looked at her suspiciously, and said to Tang Jiaren: "Where did this maid come from, why is she so eye-catching?" ”

Tang Jiaren smiled and said to the maid: "It's okay, we have known each other for many years, and the girl has always been innocent, she likes to call it." ”

He turned his head again and said to Xu Wei, "Her name is Ximei, but she is not a maid, she is the concubine I raised for my husband, and she is also half a master." ”

When Ximei heard this, her face was solemn, and she said seriously: "The slave maid is the maid who is still a noble concubine and a young grandmother, and it is not uncommon to be the master of Nalaoshzi." ”

Hearing the word concubine, Xu Yan's face instantly became very ugly, but after only a moment, she changed to a smiling face: "Didn't Brother Yongkang just return home?" Why is there an extra concubine? Besides, she is not the wife of the beautiful sister, and she has no heirs, how can she directly become a concubine? ”

Tang Jiaren smiled, indescribably gentle: "Ximei is half of my life-saving benefactor, and the carriage was in distress on the way back to her parents' house a while ago, but fortunately, she was quick to help." When I saw that she had nowhere to go, I took her in the house, but she had to be a maid to be self-reliant. Two days ago, we went to Shangxiang and met an old fortune teller, who said that Ximei was very good and that he was blessed with children, so I wanted to carry her to the Ji family. It just so happened that her husband came back and chose a good day to open her face. ”

Xu Yan's face was cloudy, and finally smiled reluctantly: "Sister Beauty is really generous, no wonder Brother Yongkang loves you so much." ”

Tang Jiaren sighed lightly: "It is my responsibility to open up branches and leaves for my husband's family, but unfortunately my stomach is not angry, and there has been no movement for a long time." Fortunately, my father and Yongkang did not blame, but treated me as before. I should have been more attentive. ”

Si'er moved a chair, and Xu Yu and Tang Jiaren sat and chatted.

"What interesting things happened when I went to Linzhou this time? Talk to me. Tang Jiaren said gently.

"It's good not to mention this, but it's even more angry to mention it." Xu Yu puffed up and said, "Have you heard of Zuo Di, the second daughter of Mrs. Zuo?" ”

Tang Jiaren thought for a moment and hesitated: "But the young lady who was praised by the Holy Chrysostom? ”

"Exactly, I originally thought it was a great character, but I didn't expect it to be so insidious." Xu Yu was indignant, "The maid I used to be named Shulan was not only ruined because of her, but now everyone is crazy." ”

Xu Yu told Tang Jiaren about the incident that Zuo Yunyun told her.

Tang Jiaren was surprised at first, and then her face was uncertain, and she lowered her face slightly and said: "But you are so scheming and vicious in your teens, you better stay away from her, so as not to be implicated." ”

Xu Yu said disdainfully: "No, maybe she will be calculated by her one day." But she is still a fox, she copied a poem from nowhere, and the coaxed brother Yongkang and Brother Chu He were fascinated and wanted to offer her up. ”

Tang Jiaren's face became more and more ugly, but she still defended her husband: "You also know that Yongkang and Chu He both love to chant poetry against each other, presumably they are not right for poetry, you don't have to think too much." ”

Xu Yu disagreed: "Oh, my good sister, you think everyone is as simple-minded as you." Let's not talk about anything else, I will avenge Shulan's revenge no matter what. ”

Tang Jiaren grabbed the indignant Xu Yan and turned her face blank: "Don't mess around, she is in Linzhou, do you want to sneak over?" I don't. ”

Xu Yu chuckled: "That's not necessary, next month, the old lady will have a big birthday, and the juniors of the Zuo family will come to celebrate her birthday, and my sister will help me at that time, let's rectify her!" ”

Tang Jiaren heard that she didn't want to sneak away, relaxed, and heard that she was going to rectify that Zuo Di, and shook her head dotingly: "As long as you stay obediently in Gengfeng and don't cause trouble, it depends on you." ”

……

Linzhou Zuofu Qujing Park.

Zuo Di frowned after listening to Jiaolian's reply.

Although Jiang Huai's words were whispered, his horn and ear power were slightly stronger than ordinary people, so he heard them all without missing a word, and reported the matter to his master.

The good days of the Zuo family are coming to an end? Is it the second room of the Zuo family or the entire Zuo family? Did he say something angry or did he really know something?

Zuo Di has a head and two big, since she knew that Zuo Xiao was not dead, and there was a mysterious beautiful woman, she was always nervous, and now a wave of unevenness has risen again and again, as strong as her, she can't help but feel a little exhausted.

Jiaolian saw the worried master, thought for a while, and said, "The little one has heard about some things, and I don't know if it's related, but Miss wants to hear about it?" ”

Zuo Di waved his hand weakly: "Let's hear it." ”

"A few days ago, there was such a big incident at home, but the second master did not return for a long time. Miss, do you know where he went? Jiaolian said mysteriously.

Zuo Di gave him a big white eye, and he also sold Guan Zi at this juncture: "Say it directly!" ”

Jiaolian smiled: "The little one is listening to the porter's gossip about this." The second master said that he had something important to do and went to other places, but in fact it was not. On the day Aunt Sun was killed, the porter was ordered to find someone, but he found the drunken second master in the ** building, and he couldn't wake up people, so he had to come back to restore his life. ”

**Floor? Zuo Di looked at him suspiciously.

Qiu Ju on the side snorted heavily when she heard this.

Jiao Lian scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "The ** building is the land of fireworks." ”

Zuo Di nodded in understanding and motioned for him to continue.

Jiao Lian smiled at Qiu Ju flatteringly, and continued: "On the second day, the second master has not returned, and he will go to look for someone again. But the second master has already left. He couldn't find anyone, and he was afraid that he would be scolded when he came back, so he inquired more. In the end, I heard that the second master did not go by himself, but was taken away by a few big men, and those big men were fierce, and they didn't look good. ”

Zuo Di praised: "You are a bag to inquire, and you will notice these little things." Tell me, why do you think it's related? ”

Jiao Lian sneered: "The little one used to run in the Xianlai Residence Hall, and he has gained a little bit of knowledge. I have heard that if some people can't pay off their debts, there will be those who specialize in collecting debts for others, most of them are five big and three rough and fierce men. The little one just thought, maybe the second master is also in debt outside? ”
