……

The east cross courtyard is fasting.

"That's what happened, my daughter was afraid that you would hurt her spirits, so she let her head hide it first." Zuo Di carefully helped his mother tucked the corners of the quilt, and told him the ins and outs of the future.

After Xie Ningge's conditioning, Yang's face was much rudder, and she looked at her little adult-like daughter with a smile: "My baby daughter has grown up, and I know that I feel sorry for my mother." ”

Zuo Di wrinkled his nose: "Di'er has always felt sorry for her mother." ”

Yang doted on the tip of her nose: "If you don't cause some trouble, my mother will burn high incense." Investigating the case is a matter for the government, and you don't have to follow it. ”

Zuo Di pouted: "My daughter doesn't care about Aunt Sun, but it is very likely that the murderer is also the one who poisoned my grandfather, how can my daughter stand by and watch?" ”

"You, I don't know who to follow, you were born with an inexhaustible heart. Could it be that the left mansion of Nuoda has no one? Do you have to show up for everything? Yang's face was full of disapproval.

"Mother rest assured, my daughter will check quietly and will not alarm others. It's always inconvenient for dad to inquire about the back house, and his daughter can help somewhat. Zuo Di pulled Yang's arm and coquettishly.

Yang couldn't help her, shook his head in disgust, and didn't bother anymore.

……

Out of Yangzhizhai, Zuo Di took Qiu Ju back to Qujing Garden.

Qiu Ju looked at the master with a contemplative face, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, isn't this obvious?" The second lady first sneakily went to spy on the old lady who was lying in bed, and then Aunt Sun looked for her with her front foot, and her back foot was poisoned. It is not because I heard some important words that I suffered this catastrophe. ”

Zuo Di retracted his mind, looked at Qiu Ju with a determined face, and couldn't help laughing: "You are a maid, you should be a female catcher." ”

Qiu Ju stomped her feet and said, "Miss is sarcastic about the slave and maid again, but you are talking about it, do you ignore what the slave and maid said?" ”

"What you said is reasonable," Zuo Di stopped joking, and said with a straight face, "but don't you think it's too coincidental?" All the spearheads were aimed at the second aunt, as if it was deliberately arranged. The second aunt has been in charge of the family for so many years, and it is very simple to kill an aunt, why do you leave so many tricks? Besides, there are a few things that concern me......"

Qiu Ju exclaimed: "Miss, what do you mean, could it be that the murderer is someone else?" ”

Zuo Di frowned: "I'm not sure yet, but I have some doubts, and when Baoya and Baozhi come back, I'll let them ask about something." ”

Qiu Ju couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't bother anymore, just listened to the master's arrangement, and suddenly heard Zuo Di say: "I haven't asked my grandfather for peace today." Let's go to the main courtyard. ”

Qiu Ju was confused, why did she suddenly say that she was going to ask for peace?

She was puzzled, but she didn't pause under her hands, neatly picked up her outer robe, and caught up with her master's footsteps.

……

The inner courtyard of the main house.

Old lady Zuo squinted and sat on the chaise longue under the tree, with a thick long blanket on her body, and her face was more than a little better than a few days ago.

Except for his purple lips and thin face, everyone else looked like ordinary people, and no one could associate it with the old man who was about to rot before.

The old lady Zuo sitting next to him didn't look very good.

"Master, what I know is that Da Lang acts impartially, and those who don't know think that our family style is corrupt. Whose family has died, and an aunt still wants to make a big fuss in the official mansion? How about not being ashamed enough? ”

Old lady Zuo turned a deaf ear and basked in the sun drowsily.

The old lady Zuo chattered for a long time, and when she saw the old lady's appearance, she became more and more angry.

She patted the back of the chair hard: "For so many years, raising children and managing the back house, there is no merit and hard work. Now that Da Lang is back, the old man is immediately so unwelcome, do you want to abandon the old body? ”

Old lady Zuo's ears moved, her eyes opened a slit, and she sighed: "Where do you want to go, Guoan Nuo can govern the country of Kang, can't you find out the small cases in the back house?" You block everywhere like this, and in the eyes of outsiders, you are still weak-hearted. ”

The old lady Zuo's eyes widened in horror, the folds on her face were flattened a lot, and she trembled and said, "You and I have been married for more than 30 years, and you can doubt me?" ”

She threw her crutches to the side, and crossed her waist with her hands menacing: "If you don't make it clear today, the old body will be over with you!" ”

The old lady Zuo helplessly plucked out her ears, listened to the chatter of the old wife in her ears, closed her eyes again, changed to a comfortable position, and continued to squint.

……

Zuo Di took Qiu Ju and planned to go directly to see his grandfather, but as soon as he walked to the side courtyard, he heard his grandmother's angry roar from the inner courtyard.

She paused, muttering to herself, wouldn't she just hit the muzzle of the gun when she went in at this moment?

I was thinking of going back first and coming back later, but I caught a glimpse of a white figure squatting on the ground and busy.

Zuo Di was curious, and when he got closer, he found that it was Aunt Shen beside his grandmother, who was squatting in the corner with a small hoe in her hand and turning over the soil.

"Aunt Shen, what are you doing?" Zuo Di looked at it for a while, and saw that she was just engrossed, so he couldn't help but ask out loud.

When Aunt Shen heard the voice, she slowly raised her head and saw that it was Miss Six, and she smiled lightly: "Accompany the old lady to come, the old lady wants to talk to the old lady about things, and the slave maid will find something to do on her own, so it is better to avoid it." ”

Zuo Di listened to her as a slave, and when she thought of her previous question, she said to Qiu Ju: "You go back first, I'll talk to Aunt Shen, there's nothing else to do." ”

Qiu Ju should get down, put the robe in his hand on the stone bench and turned to leave.

Aunt Shen stood up with her legs and wiped the sweat on her forehead: "Sixth Miss, don't come over, so as not to stain your shoes and jackets, the slave and maid will talk in the past." ”

Zuo Di didn't force it, and sat in the flower pavilion and waited for her to come over.

Aunt Shen patted the floating soil on her body, cleaned her hands with a handkerchief, and then Shi Shiran walked over, calmly and calmly, and it was very pleasing to the eye.

"Aunt Shen is so interested, she still came to cultivate soil on such a cold day."

"It's funny to call Miss Six, the slave usually likes to fiddle with some flowers and plants, and her hands are itchy for a while." Aunt Shen's expression was faint.

Zuo Di snorted, and his face was surprised: "No wonder the fragrance on Aunt Shen's body smells so good, elegant and chic." ”

Aunt Shen took off a sachet from her waist and handed it to Zuo Di: "If you have nothing to do, Miss Six will take it if you like it." ”

Zuo Di said embarrassedly: "It's just talking, how can you really accept it." Di'er just thought that her mother didn't like the fragrance, and if Aunt Shen had any superfluity, Di'er would be cheeky to ask for it for her mother. ”

Aunt Shen didn't care, took back the purse, and said apologetically: "It's the slave who thinks about it, how can she give the used sachet to the eldest lady." Another day, the slave maid will make a new one and send it to the East Cross Courtyard. ”

Zuo Di smiled gratefully: "There is Aunt Lao Shen." By the way," she said suddenly, as if she was casually speaking, "Why is Aunt Shen always called a slave?" But it's a white dwarf. ”

Aunt Shen's face changed slightly, as if she didn't expect her to ask this, and a trace of bitterness appeared on her face: "I can't help myself, being a slave or an aunt, I can't say a word from the old lady." ”

After speaking, she owed her body and said softly: "Miss Sixth must have come to visit the old lady, you can go in, the slave and maid will retire." ”

Zuo Di looked at her fluttering body, as if a gust of wind could blow it away, and a trace of compassion flashed in his heart.

The so-called involuntary body, probably like her.
