、、、、、、、、、、 It's the first time I've come to Huang, and I've been here in the past and I'm not there, so I have to ask. As soon as Zhang Wulang saw the door of the Huang family facing the street and the ten halberds lined up at the door, he knew that it was an official, so he did not enter with Peony and the others, and only took someone to guard outside.

Peony was reluctant, so she had to enter with Xue. After walking a few steps away, Fu's mother greeted her with a smile on her face, and when she saw the peony, she was frightened, but she didn't ask much with a very eye-catching look, but said: "He Niang is a rare guest, last time Mrs. wanted to invite you over for dinner, but you were in the village, I heard that you were very busy, so I didn't bother." He also said that after this time, I would like to invite you to come and have fun. ”

Peony Qiang smiled: "I live up to my wife's kindness, it's just that I'm really busy these days." ”

Fu's mother accompanied her inside, and smiled at why Xue Niang didn't come out to greet her: "Xue Niang heard that you were coming, she was so happy, she wanted to run to put her new autumn clothes on for you to see, but I am afraid that it will take a while to come out." ”

Peony said: "It's okay, I am in a hurry to ask to see Mrs. in advance, and I don't know if Mrs. is at home?" Have you free? ”

Fu's mother had already guessed that she must have something to ask for when she came like this, but she didn't dare to respond for Mrs. Dou first, so she left room for her: "Mrs. today is a visitor, and the slave maid is not waiting there, and I don't know if the guest is gone." Wait a little while the slave goes and sees. ”

Peony was afraid that Mrs. Dou would not be able to understand the purpose of her coming and excuse herself, so she mentioned it slightly: "Actually, it has something to do with the last time Xue Niang collided with the car of Meng Ruren in Ningwangfu, I have to meet Mrs. Shang." ”

"Wait, slave and maid." Fu's mother's face was really different, and she called a maid to come over and lead Peony and Xue to the side hall where Mrs. Dou was a common guest to serve tea, bowed her head and saluted, and walked back quickly.

Mrs. Dou was idle, making a few chrysanthemums, and when she heard what Fu's mother said, she frowned and said, "Didn't she say anything specifically?" ”

Fu's mother had a good impression of Peony, so she smiled and said, "I didn't say it, but it seems that it should be a big thing." She is also quite measured on weekdays. It was really thanks to her that time, and it was quite righteous. ”

Mrs. Dou put down the scissors in her hand, ordered someone to fetch water to wash her hands, and said: "You don't have to say good things for her, since you have already come to the door, you are also a friend of Xue Niang, you can't talk about it if you don't see her, you have to listen to her finish her words and then make a conclusion." Detain Xue Niang first, don't let her come out and do bad things. ”

Mrs. Dou cleaned up and quietly went outside the side hall, but when she saw Peony and Xue sitting upright in the guest seat, their faces were really not very good-looking, but they were quite calm. After thinking about it for a while, he stepped inside, and said with a smile: "Danniang, I asked you to come earlier, I said that I was very busy, and I didn't dare to let Xue Niang disturb you, so that the girl always said that I was holding her all day, but coincidentally, you finally came today!" ”

Peony and Mrs. Dou have not met many times, and they are not familiar with each other, and they are here to ask for help, so they are inevitably a little apprehensive and restrained.

Mrs. Dou saw that there was urgency in Peony's eyes, but her speech and demeanor were still calm and calm, so she appreciated it a little more, and then led the topic to the right thing: "I heard Mother Fu say that you have something to tell me?" It is also related to the last time Xue Niang collided with the car of Meng Ruren in Ningwangfu? ”

Peony hurriedly took out the string of sandalwood beads that Meng Ruren had forced into his arms: "That day, Meng Ruren forced me and Xue Niang to have a string of such beads, I wonder if Mrs. can know about this?" ”

Mrs. Dou glanced at the pearl and said jokingly, "I know about this." What's wrong? Could it be that there is something strange in this pearl? ”

Peony said with tears: "This pearl is not weird, but people are weird." I'm here to ask Madame for help! I hope that Mrs. will lend a hand. After that, he got up and bowed deeply to Mrs. Dou.

Seeing her tears, Mrs. Dou saluted again, got up and held her up, and said, "Well, what's going on?" ”

Peony knew that no one would let outsiders run to his house to cry, so he forced back the tears, and said softly: "The Meng Ru people of Ningwangfu sent people to come to the door and said that the beads I received were hired money, and they wanted to carry me to Ningwangfu, otherwise they would be punished." Although I have a low status, I am not the one who only sees wealth and nobility in my eyes, and I don't want to be forced like this, so that people regard me as that shameless woman. I have the heart to die to prove my innocence, but I don't want to die unclear. ”

Peony peeked at Mrs. Dou's expression, but seeing that her face was solemn and she listened seriously, she continued: "I thought about it, but I only asked Xue Niang to make circumstantial evidence for me, just seek truth from facts, prove that I and Meng Ruren have never mentioned marriage, and this pearl is also what she said as a meeting gift, and she forced her mother to stuff it into the two of me." I knew that this would make Madame embarrassed, but I really couldn't help it, if Madame could lend a helping hand this time, Danniang would be grateful. After saying that, it was another salute.

Mrs. Dou stretched out her hand to take the bead, looked at it carefully, and showed a playful look on her face: "Who is the one who came to the door to pass the word?" Although Peony did not mention Xue Niang, she only mentioned the testimony in a measured manner. But the two of them got the beads at the same time, and they are exactly the same, the peony can be regarded as a hired wealth, what does Xue Niang say? This Meng Ruren simply doesn't know the height of the sky!

Peony had a red face and red ears, and whispered: "It's my cousin Cui's." ”

Mrs. Dou snorted again, returned the beads to the peony, and said, "I know." Since it was the trouble you caused for my Xue Niang, I definitely didn't have a reason to watch. You go back first, and I'll have someone look for you as soon as I get the news. ”

Peony got Mrs. Dou's vague promise, although she was still a little uneasy, but she also knew that she could only go here. She said that she came to ask Xue Niang to testify for her, but she actually came to ask Mrs. Dou. What she gambled on was just hoping that Mrs. Dou would still have a benevolent heart, and she didn't expect Mrs. Dou to do anything, as long as Mrs. Dou stood on her side at the critical moment, fueled the flames in the middle, and turned around.

Sending the peony away, Mrs. Dou pondered for a moment, asked people to take out the beads of Xue Niang, and ordered someone to prepare the eaves, ready to find Li Manniang without mentioning it.

However, it was said that Peony and the Xue family had just left the gate of the Huang family, and they saw Zhang Wulang and Wu standing at the foot of the wall across the street, talking and looking here from time to time. Seeing the two of them, Zhang Wulang immediately threw Wu away, rushed over, and said anxiously: "What? ”

Peony saw his crooked head and half-dried still pasted on his boots, as well as the anxiety on his face, suddenly felt a sense of cordiality, and also made a relaxed smile and said: "I said that I won't be watching, let me go back and wait for news." ”

Zhang Wulang was as happy as a child, and said loudly: "I'll just say, there is still justice in this world." Let's go, I'll take you home. ”

Wu held his hands in his hands, walked over slowly, looked at Peony and Xue's salute, and said seriously: "He Niang doesn't need to worry, this is just a trivial matter, it will be like it, and it won't take long for it to stop." ”

Peony smiled: "Borrowing the auspicious words of Mr. Wu, I hope this is the case." ”

Wu said very seriously: "It will definitely be." He Niang is a good person and ambitious, God will definitely not let you suffer such a grievance. After speaking, he hugged his fists and said goodbye to a few people: "The villain still has important things to do, so he has taken the first step." After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse, beat the horse and left.

Zhang Wulang felt very sensitively that Peony's attitude towards him was a little different from before, he scratched his head happily, and said with a smile: "Danniang, what does this person do?" Shicai blew a few words with me, quite knowledgeable, and his temper was quite right. ”

Peony said: "I don't know what he does, I only know that he is probably the right-hand man of a large family, and I heard him say that he used to travel north and south in his early years, probably because of this reason." ”

Although she and Jiang Changyang have met a few times since the incident of buying stones for Yuan Shijiu, they are more familiar with each other, and they talk a lot more casually, but they have never mentioned each other's private affairs. So what the hell Wu does, she really doesn't know. Say that he is Jiang Changyang's long-term subordinate, many times the two get along with each other in a different way, say no, he is a villain, there should be a lot of etiquette, and he is also absolutely obedient to Jiang Changyang. A very strange but very coordinated pair of master and servant.

Zhang Wulang was very dissatisfied when he received such a vague reply: "I think he cares about you a lot, and I thought he was your family's best friend." ”

Peony smiled embarrassedly: "Fifth Brother Zhang, I really don't know, although I have had a few contacts, I don't even know what his name is, I only know that his name is Wu." ”

Zhang Wulang said with certainty: "He must have been in the army in the past." ”

Peony didn't say anything, it turned out that Li Xun had also guessed that Jiang Changyang must have been in the army, held a knife for a long time, and even killed people. If it is true, it is normal for Wu Cong to pass through the army, Zhang Wulang guessed. As soon as she thought of Li Xun, Peony's heart sank uncontrollably, and she couldn't tell the taste in her heart, she only felt sour, astringent and sad.

The flowers bloomed at two ends, and the words were divided into two branches, but it was said that Shiro held his breath and went straight to Li Xun's shop in Dongshi, and he didn't even look for two of them, so he ran out more and more angrily. Ignoring the Bai family and the Li family who were shouting behind him, he went straight to the West Market, and then broke into Li Xun's largest silk shop, stood in the lobby violently, grabbed a young man and asked, "Let me ask you, what about your grandfather?" ”

The young man had just arrived, and he didn't know him, and when he saw his fierce face, he said vigilantly: "Our grandfather is not here." ”

Shiro shoved him suddenly, his eyes swept over the shelves one by one, and he was thinking about where to start. Before he could make a move, Cangshan greeted him with a smile and said, "He Sibiaogong, how can you have free time today?" Are you here to find our father? He's in the quiet room in the back, waiting for the villain to pass it on to you. ”

When Shiro heard that Li Xun was there, he couldn't help but sneer, and then stretched out his hand and gently turned Cangshan around, stepped forward, and said loudly: "No need, I'll meet him myself!" He walked up to the ashram and kicked the door open.
