"Yes, the old slave understands." Uncle Cai, the housekeeper, knew that Jiao Ruzhi was arrogant, so he nodded again and again, not daring to be the slightest slack, and retreated with his subordinates.

"Okay, now that everyone is gone, what does my sister have to tell me?" Seeing the empty hall, Jiao Ruzhi looked at Jiao Yuzhen.

Jiao Yuzhen glanced at Lu'er and Lan'er standing behind Jiao Ruzhi, and there were catkins behind her, so she proposed: "Sister, I want to go to your courtyard with eldest sister, let's go back now, okay?" We also need to take a good look at this roster and discuss it carefully. ”

"It's fine." Jiao Ruzhi found that Jiao Yuzhen seemed to have something to say, but because this was the hall and there was a personal maid on the side, she agreed, stood up and walked towards her yard with Jiao Yuzhen.

"Liu Wu, you guys step down first, I want to discuss the roster with my eldest sister." As soon as he entered the room, Jiao Yuzhen gave an order.

Liu Fu glanced at Lu'er and Lan'er on the side, and immediately understood what Jiao Yuzhen meant, they wanted to discuss the affairs of the people in the house, so naturally they couldn't let the maids listen, so they nodded and led Lu'er and Lan'er to withdraw.

Seeing that the door was closed, Jiao Ruzhi felt that Jiao Yuzhen seemed to be strangely cautious: "Third sister, Liu Wu, Lu'er, and Lan'er are all their own people, why do you want them to go out?" ”

"Because no one else can listen to this matter except for you, eldest sister." Jiao Yuzhen hesitated for a moment before asking: "I asked you to investigate the identity of Liu Fu before, eldest sister, and I haven't had time to ask after that, but I have already reused her, now I will ask...... I don't know if I'm stupid. ”

"Liu Wu is just an official maid from the palace, because of the obvious scars on the body and was sent out of the palace, she is smart and clever, at the age of thirteen she became the steward of the palace maid who inspected the palace, and she is very mature and steady, I inquired from some old palace maids who retired out of the palace, this willow catkins is very powerful, and there has never been a mistake in doing things, but unfortunately she was injured in an accident and did not meet the standards of the palace maid before she was sent out. Later, she entered our Taifu Mansion. Jiao Ruzhi said truthfully, "I don't think there's anything wrong with her, and you've already reused her, so I didn't tell you." You suddenly asked me today, do you ...... Do you find out that she has a problem now? ”

"There's nothing wrong with catkins, it's just that I think she's too smart." Jiao Yuzhen was really a little apprehensive in her heart, because when she was in the palace, Liu Wu was a little self-conscious, although she was still the first in the end, but it also left a pimple in her heart, but it was a pity that she didn't find the flaw in Liu Wu, and there was no way to find someone else to replace her.

"Since catkins are no problem...... So what exactly did you find? Jiao Ruzhi couldn't help but ask.

Jiao Yuzhen shook her head lightly, did not answer Jiao Ruzhi's question, but continued to ask: "The eldest sister is four years older than me, do you have any impression of my biological mother, Aunt Liu?" ”

Jiao Ruzhi thought about it seriously for a while before he slowly spoke: "I was only four years old when Aunt Liu died, what can I remember?" At that time, I was raised by my eldest mother, and I rarely had the opportunity to contact Aunt Liu...... If I have to say it, it is that I remember that Aunt Liu likes to wear green clothes very much, and she looks very good, to be honest...... Third sister, you and Aunt Liu are really not very similar, you look more like your father. ”

Touching her face, Jiao Yuzhen couldn't help but sigh in her heart, although she hadn't seen her biological mother, Aunt Liu, but it must be a generation of beauties, otherwise how could Jiao Lihe just like her, and snub the Wang family, who is still a and a charm to this day?

"Aunt Liu is indeed very beautiful, and I still have some impressions to this day." Jiao Ruzhi recalled speaking, "But I don't remember anything else." However, Daddy liked Aunt Liu very much back then, so he spent a lot of Danqing portraits on her, and those paintings are still collected in Daddy's study, and if the third sister wants, she may be able to take advantage of Daddy's absence to see them. ”

"So apart from these, doesn't the eldest sister have anything else to say?"

"Nope." Jiao Ruzhi shook his head, "I was too young at that time, if I must say that the people who have memories of Aunt Liu, in addition to my father and aunt, I am probably the housekeeper Uncle Cai and Mama Li, the old people in the house." But I think it won't be any result if you ask Uncle Cai, the dog slave, I'm going to be the first to change him. As for Mama Li, she seems to be as sick as her second sister now, and she is still living in the next room in the eldest mother's yard. ”

"Okay, I'll go find her." Thinking that Mama Li was still the most reliable, Jiao Yuzhen hurriedly got up from the chair.

"Third sister, why are you asking all this for? If you don't tell me, I'm still panicking. ”

Jiao Yuzhen hesitated for a moment, but still said the conjecture in his heart: "Eldest sister, you also saw what kind of means the eldest lady treats her little maid today, if I don't want to track it down, that little maid must have died in the room." Seeing this, wouldn't you have my biological mother and your biological mother both killed by the eldest mother? But she didn't kill us now, but used very obscure means, all of which showed her and the second sister's evil intentions, I want to investigate the death of my mother, maybe from now on I can really make my mother unable to come back here, and it is impossible to take away the real power from you and me. ”

Jiao Yuzhen didn't actually tell the truth, but her words were not false, if the Wang family was really not just a deep woman as it appeared on the surface, maybe there was a deeper intention behind all this, but she wouldn't tell Jiao Ruzhi about these.

"The third sister is right...... I will also investigate these things secretly, and if the third sister has any news, she will definitely tell me. Jiao Ruzhi was really awakened by Jiao Yuzhen's words, she never thought that her mother's death was not because of dystocia, but related to the Wang family, and she recognized the thief as her mother over the years, which is really sad.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, my sister must be like this, my sister is going to investigate, and I will leave first." Jiao Yuzhen saluted Jiao Ruzhi, and then went out of the room, and when he went out of the arch of the courtyard, he saw the catkins waiting beside him.

"How's it going, Miss?" Liu Wu asked with concern.

"Liu Wu, don't worry, no matter what adjustments and layoffs, they will definitely not be laid off on your head." Jiao Yuzhen smiled lightly, "Today, I saw the tragic situation of that little maid after being tortured, and I was a little reluctant to pay for it." You go to Feng'an now, take care of Jin'er for me, I won't have anything to do here today, you can come back at dinner." But remember, be careful of Du Gongzi. ”

"Does the young lady want the slave maid to take the opportunity to visit Miss Jin'er to spy on Feng Ancha?"

"You are so smart, go quickly. The matter between us and the Crescent Pavilion is also going to hurry, last time they sent someone to assassinate me, if they don't turn against the guest, I'm afraid that they will find out that I am Jiao Yuzhen, this Jiao Taifu Mansion can't protect me. ”

"Miss is right, the slave will go." Liu Fu nodded and left quickly.

Watching the catkins go away, Jiao Yuzhen had a lot of thoughts in her heart, she actually didn't lie, she didn't dare to say that she didn't have the slightest vigilance against the catkins, but it was absolutely impossible for her not to use the catkins, so letting the catkins go to Feng'an made her feel very relieved.

Came out of the scorched yard and returned to her yard, sent all the subordinates, carried a shovel by herself, lifted her sleeves and dug behind the bushes in the garden, and dug a stick of incense before digging the wooden box she saw, if she didn't have such a pair of eyes, and often do rough work, and had enough physical strength, otherwise how could she find this wooden box so smoothly?

After digging out the wooden box, it took almost an hour to fill it with dirt from the bushes, and it took about an hour to get it back to the room.

The soil on the wooden box was carefully removed with a brand new brush, and the wooden box showed its original appearance after it was clean, this is a wooden box carved from rosewood, although the appearance is very simple, but from the wood grain, it seems that this is a thousand-year-old superb rosewood, with such a good rosewood made of the box, ordinary people can't use it, but this is the yard of Jiao Yuzhen's biological mother Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu's family is just an ordinary family that raises pigs and sells pigs. After working all my life, I can't even afford to buy this rosewood sawdust, how can there be such a wooden box carved from rosewood? Judging from the carvings above, this should not be something of a dignitary, but a ...... Royalty!

Jiao Yuzhen clearly saw that this rosewood carved box was carved with peony patterns, and among the peony flowers, there were flying five-clawed dragons and winged phoenixes, the carved patterns of dragons and phoenixes could not be used by ordinary people in ancient times, these were all special patterns for the royal family, but this was not to make Jiao Yuzhen sure that this was a royal thing, because she found that this phoenix carving was exactly the same as the appearance of the phoenix stone carving in the underground palace!

This is not only a royal thing, but also a relic of the Xuanyuan royal family, which was replaced by the Jimo royal family five hundred years ago!

There is no lock on the outside of this rosewood carved box, but it can't be opened, there must be a subtle mechanism design inside, but this rosewood carved box is so precious, Jiao Yuzhen is reluctant to open it violently, so it seems that it ...... Getting the Jade Buddha in the hands of the Crescent Moon Pavilion Master, Han Yuegongzi, that is, her future husband, Prince Junjing, Jimo Hanfei, is the only way to open this wooden box!

******

Sending Liu Wu to Feng'an Private School for a day actually didn't gain anything, and the next morning, Jiao Yuzhen used the reason of visiting Jin'er as an excuse, so he and Liu Wu went to Feng'an Private School.

In fact, Jiao Yuzhen has owned Feng'an for so long, and she hasn't really come to see it once, but after learning from Qingyu that this Feng'an is a secret stronghold of the Crescent Moon Pavilion, she is even more worried about this place, but there is no other place to place Jin'er and Gongsun Yi'an, so she has to maintain the current status quo.

Feng'an is located at the end of the end of the street in the west of the capital, where it is an ordinary longhouse, covering a small area, but the door is hung with a plaque of "Feng'an" three words, it is a very beautiful line, the pen is very sharp, every stroke has a sharp feeling, Jiao Yuzhen is a person who is proficient in calligraphy, at a glance these words know that this is from a man's hand, but also an ambitious man, the most important thing is that this is not at all like a teacher and educate people can write the word, this word ...... Maybe it was written by Han Yue Gongzi, that is, Jimo Hanfei, if she could see Jimo Hanfei's Mobao, she could conclude that it was ......

"Miss Jiao San." Du Chenghuan saw Jiao Yuzhen from a distance and greeted him, "I actually came here in person today, do you want to come and see the scene of those children reading?" ”

Jiao Yuzhen smiled, and she would not startle the snake, she knew that it was a little suspicious that this Du Chenghuan was full of economy but stayed in Feng'an, maybe it was the eyeliner left by the Crescent Moon Pavilion, and he should still be Jimo Hanfei's henchman, so she smiled and said to Du Chenghuan: "Du Gongzi is so early, has the private school started at this time?" ”

"Yes, the parents of the children here need to go out early in the morning to earn a living and work, so I sent them here before the hour, and Mr. Gongsun was telling them to write inside." Du Chenghuan turned sideways, and through the window, he could faintly see the children who were buried in writing.
