There were only two butter snails left in the silk box, and after Ah Sheng withdrew his gaze, he frowned slightly and hesitated. Instinctively, he will share his food with others unless it is someone he approves of, or for some purpose; On the contrary, the same conditions apply to him to accept other people's food.

Xie Gexian was actually just talking, seeing that Ah Sheng was actually thinking about it so seriously, it made him a little stunned, but just as he was about to speak, Ah Sheng suddenly threw over a butter bubble snail, and at the same time threw over a sentence: "Don't be nosy, this is hush money." ”

Xie Gexian subconsciously raised his hand to pick it up, and the strength was also skillful, and when the ghee bubble snail was received into his hand, the shape looked still intact, and it was almost not deformed.

Ah Sheng stuffed the last ghee snail into his mouth, then asked the stall owner to take away the tea bowl, and then drove away with the donkey cart.

Xie Gexian shouted "Brother Tai" again, but Ah Sheng didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't stop the car, Xie Gexian had to smile helplessly, just this will catch up from behind safely, and after running to him, he wiped his sweat and gasped: "Why did the son disappear in a blink of an eye, tell me to find it!" Hey, what's in Childe's hand? ”

"Oh, this...... Hush money. Xie Gexian retracted his gaze and smiled at the butter-soaked snail in his hand.

"Hush money?" Ping An was confused, "But, isn't this a ghee snail?" Where did Childe come from? ”

"A wonderful man." Xie Gexian took the butter snail to his nose and sniffed it, and said in a low voice, "I don't know when I will be able to get to know this person." ”

Ping'an was about to ask whom, but as soon as he opened his mouth, before the words came out, his eyes widened, and at the same time he changed his words: "Childe, you, you eat!?" ”

After Xie Gexian took a bite, he was stunned, then took two more bites, and after eating slowly, after a while, he raised his eyes, turned his head to look at the direction Ah Sheng left, and wondered: "Who did it for him?" ”

"Childe, you've eaten all of this butter snail!" Ping'an still couldn't believe it, since he returned to the Guogong Mansion, in the past five or six years, he had never seen Xie Gexian eat a whole butter snail, and sometimes it was unprecedented to be able to taste a bite.

"I guess it's cold, it's a little worse, but the taste is very ......familiar," Xie Gexian muttered, "It seems to be from the same person." ”

Ping An was stunned: "The taste is familiar!?" ”

"Hmm......" Xie Gexian thought for a while, then sighed, and then said, "Go back, this is an unexpected gain today." ”

"Then, who is the person who gave Childe this ghee snail? Childe doesn't plan to look for it? ”

Xie Gexian smiled: "It's rude to rush to find the past, and there will always be a chance to get acquainted in the future." ”

"In the future, Childe will recognize? Childe knows who it is? "Ping'an's heart is full of curiosity.

"I guess it's a coachman, but I don't know who makes dim sum." Xie Gexian chuckled, then turned around and walked away.

Ping An was even more puzzled: "Coachman? ”

……

That night, in Jiukongqiao District, the scenery in Changchun Courtyard was as beautiful as ever, and Li Yueer, who always likes to put on a high profile on weekdays, rarely took the initiative to come out and accompany a big businessman with a smile on his face. As for the Mo family's mansion, Han Sidao had a serious face, discussing things with a few of his men, and the wind outside the house slipped in through the cracks in the door curtains, blowing the bright candles inside, but it couldn't blow away the solemn atmosphere of the house.

Mo's balance is about to be broken, and internal contradictions begin to surface, this is Mo San's chance, and at the same time, it is also his own opportunity. In order to wait for this opportunity, he has been a cow and horse for Master Mo San for ten years, and now that the opportunity has finally come, he will not allow himself to make the slightest mistake!

On Mo Li's side, after the moon was on the branches, she accompanied Mrs. Mo with Zhu and Mo Xue for a snack, chatted for a while, and saw that Mrs. Mo was tired, and then she got up and came out. Just halfway back to her room, she couldn't help but stop, and then walked to the edge of the porch and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

The Xie family is about to have a headache, and in half a month at most, Xie Yueniang should be moved to the Slender Lake Courtyard. Mo Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, Mrs. Yang, I don't care to cling to your Yang Mansion, but if you want to cling to the Xie Mansion, it is not easy, this family, whether you retreat or not, the initiative is no longer in your hands.

After Ah Sheng brought back the wood and bricks for repairing the house, he hastily ate the dinner that had been left for him that had already been cold, and then carried the bucket to the mouth of the well for the next person to take a shower. At this time, it was already dark, and the big guys were busy with their day's work, so they all went back to the house to rest. He was alone at the end of the well, and there were no lights around, except for a bright moon on the top.

He took off his clothes, and the soft moonlight sprinkled on his sweaty shoulders, which shone with an alluring honey-colored luster, tight muscles, and beautiful lines became clearer under the action of light and shadow. After throwing his clothes aside, he threw the bucket into the well, and in three or two strokes he filled it with a bucket full of water. The cool well water rushed down from the top of his head, and Ah Sheng wiped it casually on his body a few times, then closed his eyes and shook his head. Countless transparent droplets of water slid down from the tips of his hair, from his forehead, from his chin, and fell down his muscular body, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked up, and looked at the bright moon in the sky, with a faint hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

It's just that under the moonlight at this moment, he looks like a beast standing high in the wilderness, with unruly eyes and a free and easy expression.

……

On the second day, Xie Fu received some bad rumors about Mrs. Yang, and they leaked out of Xie Tianshi's mouth. Since seeing Li Yue'er in his house that day, Xie Tianshi began to be reluctant to give up, looking for an opportunity to sneak out and stay in Changchun Courtyard for a few days, and finally won Li Yue'er's favor for a moment last night. So after he came back, he was in a mood for a long time, and when the maid next to him asked, he accidentally said that he had missed it.

This leak reached Yan's ears the next moment. Yan's IQ is not lower than that of Mrs. Yang, and as soon as she pondered it at the time, she almost understood what was going on, and she was so angry in her heart that she couldn't go to Yang's mansion to scold Mrs. Yang again. And just when Yan was having a headache whether to tell Mrs. Xie whether to go, but before this day passed, Mrs. Xie also knew.

"I'll just say, that Mrs. Yang is stupid! In a hurry for quick success and quick profit, he even did this immoral thing, but he didn't do it well! Old Lady Xie glared at Yan Shi, who was standing in front of her, and reprimanded, "You are also a smart person, this big family has been in your hands for decades, I have always been very relieved, how did you end up doing such a stupid thing, and you are blind to such a family!" ”

Yan was suffering at the moment, and she didn't think that Mrs. Yang would do things like this, so she had to bow her head and say, "I really didn't expect her to come up with this idea, if I had known, how could I have let her do this!" ”

"If you had known, you would have helped make this thing safe, wouldn't you?" Old Madam Xie immediately followed her words.

Yan's heart was shocked, and suddenly remembered the relationship between Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Mo, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead, so she hurriedly opened her mouth and said: "The old lady misunderstood, what does the daughter-in-law mean, if the daughter-in-law had known earlier, she would not have been allowed to do this!" ”

"Okay, it's useless to talk about it now, after all, don't involve Xie Fu in such a shameful matter." Old Madam Xie sighed, and then asked, "It's just the four girls, what do you think?" ”

Yan Shi paused, then took two steps closer to Old Lady Xie, stabilized her heartbeat, lowered her voice and said carefully: "I asked her for a long time yesterday, and then asked the maid next to her, Kwai Shui has been six or seven days late, and she is usually very accurate." ”

Old Lady Xie wrinkled her brows tightly, closed her eyes, and only opened her eyes for a while before staring at Yan and said: "In this case, even if you prepare it right now, it is impossible to carry it out, and you will not be able to hide it in the future, not to mention that now that the Yang family has made things like this, the family is afraid that it will be dragged out." What are you going to do, there are still three girls in this house, and there are also two who have not left the cabinet in Beijing, as long as this matter is passed on by any person who has a heart among these officials, ladies and wives, in the future, do we want to find a good family! ”

Yan Shi snorted: "This matter has been thought about by the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law first pretended to be uncomfortable in the past few days, and then saw which day was appropriate, the old lady opened her mouth to allow her daughter-in-law to go to the Slender Lake Courtyard to recuperate for a while, and the old lady in the house helped watch it first, so that when I took the four girls to accompany me, no one would suspect anything." Now that she has a short time, she can only do this for the future. ”

"You, you're doing evil! O iniquity! Mrs. Xie shook her hands, pointed at Yan's and scolded, Yan hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Old lady, this is also a helpless way, if you don't do this, how can you hide it in the future, if everyone in the house knows about it, it will be even more difficult to clean it up." Besides, the four girls are like this right now, and they need to hide it quietly while the Yang family doesn't know about it, otherwise the more people who know, the more difficult it will be to clean up this matter. ”

"I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, the struggle for power in an inner courtyard made you confused, even if the four girls didn't please you in the past, how could they be the person who called your mother since childhood, why did you have such a ruthless heart in the first place!"

"The daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, how the old lady will punish her daughter-in-law in the future, it's just this matter, there is really only one way to do this!"

Old Mrs. Xie didn't know whether she was angry or distressed, her eyes were slightly red, and her chest rose and fell for a while before she said tiredly: "In the past few days, you have prepared well, explained everything in the house in detail, and then prepared it for Brother Shi." In my opinion, I'm afraid that the Yang family won't be able to do this, but don't be in a hurry to interfere, first finish the affairs of the four girls, and then go to the Mo family in person after you come back. ”

"The daughter-in-law understands, and the old lady is relieved." Yan Shi kowtowed respectfully, unable to tell whether he was relieved or regretted that he shouldn't have done so.
