Guo Xiaoxiao hurried to Yuan's pharmacy in a hurry, and greeted him: "Why is the girl here again?" ”

"What about Young Master Yuan?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.

"My young master is out."

"Out? Where did he go? ”

"The young master has gone to Hangzhou to purchase medicinal materials."

"And when will he be back?"

"I guess I won't be able to come back for a while, and I'll have to do it tomorrow at the earliest!"

Da Zhe said very easily, but he didn't know Guo Xiaoxiao's anxiety at the moment.

Guo Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you know where the basket flower is?" ”

"These flowers are very hard to find, and we may be able to find some of the closest mountains."

"Can you walk around the mountain?"

"Walking?" Da Zhe opened his mouth wide and said, "Then you won't be able to get there until tomorrow, and it will take half a day to make a carriage." ”

"It doesn't matter." Guo Xiaoxiao said patiently, "Little brother does he have the drawings of the flowers?" Can you give me one? I'm going to look for the flower. ”

Da Zhe's face seemed a little reluctant, but he still went to the drawer to flip through the drawings, and said while looking for it: "I advise you not to go, there are often snakes, insects, ants and beasts in the mountains, and it is really unsafe." Besides, you're a girl......

It took a while to find the drawings, and Da Zhe was hesitating to give it to her, but Guo Xiaoxiao snatched it.

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "Thank you! Don't worry, I'm in control. ”

Da Zhe still wanted to persuade him, but Guo Xiaoxiao had already walked outside the door. Da Zhe only said in his heart: If Yuan Shaocheng knows, he may be trained again.

After Guo Xiaoxiao returned to Guo's mansion, he immediately asked Steward Zhang to arrange a carriage. When she went to Panshan, she only took two people, Xiaolan and Ding Datang, who was driving.

Mr. Guo went out to discuss business with the guests, no one stopped Guo Xiaoxiao, and the carriage bumped all the way to the outskirts of the city.

Xiaolan said: "Miss, why do you bother to find it yourself?" Wouldn't it be better to leave this matter to the little guys in the house? ”

Guo Xiaoxiao looked straight ahead with his eyes and said: "I can't even take care of my mother's daily diet, where can I rest assured that they will do it!" In fact, they shouldn't have been so harsh, but my mother's health can't be slackened. ”

Xiaolan pursed her lips and didn't dare to say more.

Guo Xiaoxiao said again: "By the way, you stayed there yesterday, did you ask what to say?" ”

Xiaolan said: "The slave and maid carefully interrogated the baby and Chef Li, as well as several slaves and maids who handled the lady's diet, to understand the details. Chef Li said that a few days ago, Xiaocui, the girl next to the second lady, asked him to cook a meal that was exactly the same as his wife. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his eyes and looked at the wooden planks in the carriage.

Xiaolan continued: "Chef Li also said that Xiaocui asked him to add shrimp powder to the second lady's portion, and Madame's share remained the same. ”

Xiaolan looked at the pensive Guo Xiaoxiao and asked, "Could it be that Chef Li said that he was panicked, and then gave it to the second lady?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't answer and asked, "How is Chef Li's family?" ”

"He has an old mother, a wife and five sons at home, and he lives a tight life because of his work in our house."

"That's not what he did. Most of the subordinates who have just entered the mansion dare not publicize it, and in order to keep their jobs, they will be very careful in everything, for fear that the master will not be satisfied and send them to do more tiring work, or deduct their wages. ”

"Could it be that the second lady instructed him to do this?"

"It's possible, but Chef Li doesn't look like a person who doesn't know the times. If Qianqian spent money to buy off Chef Li, when the East Window incident happened, Qianqian would never let Chef Li drag her into the water, and she would definitely insist that Chef Li did it. Dad has always loved Qianqian, and Chef Li is new, so Dad will definitely choose to believe in Qianqian. If you don't do things cleanly, Steward Zhang will definitely not keep him for a long time. At that time, Chef Li still had to roll up and leave. ”

Xiaolan thought for a moment and asked again, "Could it be the baby who delivered the vegetables?" Adjusted the meals of Mrs. and Second Miss? ”

Guo Xiaoxiao scoffed and said, "I'm afraid she doesn't have such a big courage." ”

Xiaolan scratched her head and said, "Listening to the young lady's analysis, the slave's mind is messed up. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it, let's talk about it when I go home." ”

After speaking, Guo Xiaoxiao leaned on the carriage, gently closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The carriage ran for a few hours, not only the people were tired, but the horses were also tired, so Datang found a post station to rest. Datang had been on a few business trips with Master Guo before, and he was quite familiar with dealing with these things at the post station. Guo Xiaoxiao came to a box, and Xiaolan helped her sit down. Seeing Xiaolan's hungry and tired appearance, Guo Xiaoxiao said, "You can sit too." ”

Xiao Lan smiled and made it to the stool.

Datang brought food from the kitchen of the post station and respectfully placed it on the table.

Guo Xiaoxiao washed her hands, and when she was about to move her chopsticks, she saw Datang standing aside, and Xiaolan finished the dishes for her

After that, he also got up from the stool. Guo Xiaoxiao felt very upset, so he said, "You can also sit down and eat together." ”

Xiaolan said: "The slave doesn't dare. ”

Datang also said: "Slaves don't dare." ”

"You've been driving with me for so long, and you're tired, so sit down and eat."

Xiaolan pursed her lips and said, "You are the master, and the slave serves you, so you are not tired." ”

"You just said that I am the master, do you dare to listen to the master's words?" Guo Xiaoxiao said with a serious face.

Xiaolan thought that Guo Xiaoxiao was angry, and together with Datang, neither of them dared to refuse.

Guo Xiaoxiao had dinner and stood in the corridor outside for a while, only to hear a familiar voice not far away. The man was coming up the stairs, and after seeing the person clearly, Guo Xiaoxiao shouted, "Cousin." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan came over when he heard the voice: "Xiaoxiao, Xiaolan, why are you here?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "My father told me to go out and do something. ”

Xiaolan said: "Miss is going to Panshan to pick ......" Before Xiaolan's words fell, she was poked by Guo Xiaoxiao by an elbow.

Jiang Zhiyuan was shocked when he heard this: "Go to Panshan? What to do in Panshan? ”

Xiaolan didn't dare to answer, Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's nothing, just go do something." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan stared at Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes, Guo Xiaoxiao quickly turned his head and didn't look at him. Jiang Zhiyuan easily saw the clue, she was like this, she didn't dare to look at people when she lied, and her eyes avoided intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "Xiaolan, you say." ”

Xiaolan first glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao, and then lowered her head, not daring to speak.

"If you dare to hide it, when I return to the city, I will go and tell my uncle about your crime."

"The slave knows that she is wrong, please forgive the young master." Xiaolan was so frightened that she fell to her knees.

Guo Xiaoxiao glared at Xiaolan.

Xiao Lan said resignedly: "Madame's old illness has relapsed, and Young Master Yuan of the pharmacy said that he has to find a medicinal herb called 'Na Ji Hua' to be cured. ”

Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, and Guo Xiaoxiao raised his feet and was about to go back to the room.

"Stop." Jiang Zhiyuan said.

Guo Xiaoxiao slowly turned around, smiled wryly, and suddenly saw Jiang Zhiyuan raise her right hand, she closed her eyes in fright, and exclaimed, "Cousin, be merciful!" ”

In the past, when she made a mistake, Jiang Zhiyuan would flick her head with his hand as punishment.

After a few seconds, the snap of his fingers still didn't fall, Guo Xiaoxiao opened his eyes, only to see Jiang Zhiyuan lightly scratch her eyebrows with his index finger, and then said expressionlessly: "Give me home tomorrow." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao naturally refused to give up: "No, I won't go back." ”

"Uncle will be worried."

"I still have business to do."

"What can you do?"

"I ...... If you have great things, can't I have them? ”

"Looking for medicine? Just the two girls and the little girl you bring with you now? I am thankful for my uncle that I was not abducted. ”

"I, in short, I'm going, and no one can change my mind."

"You." Jiang Zhiyuan sighed, "Then I will send Jiang Feng to you, and he will be sent by you for the time being." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled: "Thank you, cousin." ”

"Go home as soon as you find it."

"Yes."

The next day, Jiang Zhiyuan set off on his way. He was here to investigate a case, and he had to hurry. He wanted to arrest Guo Xiaoxiao back, but he lacked skills. Guo Xiaoxiao is stubborn and stubborn, he doesn't listen to the words of others, and those girls and little girls don't dare to press her with words, so he has to make a move. Now that there is something important to deal with, he will leave Guo Xiaoxiao for the time being.

With Jiang Feng here, Guo Xiaoxiao's road is much smoother than before. Jiang Feng followed Jiang Zhiyuan to the south and north, and the road within a radius of several miles had already been memorized. After two hours, Guo Xiaoxiao and his party finally arrived at Panshan.

Xiaolan helped Guo Xiaoxiao get out of the car.

Jiang Feng said: "Miss, the terrain of the mountain is steep, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, so you still don't want to go in, just leave it to the small Datang." Orchid is here to take care of you. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "How can this work? I am looking for medicine for my mother, and I must be doing it for this matter. ”

Jiang Feng said: "The eldest lady is delicate, and besides, it is really unsafe in the mountains, and it is difficult to do it if you get lost." Miss is still waiting outside. ”

Jiang Zhiyuan told Jiang Feng to protect Guo Xiaoxiao's thoughtfulness, how dare Jiang Feng slack off.

Guo Xiaoxiao took a breath: "It's okay." I have here a drawing of the flower, and you can follow it. Saying that, he asked Xiaolan to hand over the drawings to Jiang Feng and Datang.

Jiang Feng and Datang took advantage of the fact that it was still early, and the two went all the way into the mountain. Guo Xiaoxiao and Xiaolan found a shade and sat down. At first, the two talked to pass the time, but Jiang Feng and Datang went for a long time and didn't come out. The night came to an end, and Guo Xiaoxiao was a little anxious.

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "Why have you been there for so long? ”

Xiaolan said: "Xu is lost. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao took a breath and said, "I'll go for convenience." ”

Xiaolan said: "Let the slave and maid follow you." ”

"Okay." In the end, the night is not safer than the day, Guo Xiaoxiao thought, it is good for the two of them to take care of it.

The carriage stopped in an open place on the side of the road, and Guo Xiaoxiao and Xiaolan didn't go far, but just walked a little more bushes. A few minutes later, Guo Xiaoxiao returned along the same path, and after only a few steps, Guo Xiaoxiao felt a clear tingling sensation in his left calf.

"Shhh Guo Xiaoxiao screamed.

"What's wrong?" Little Landau.

Guo Xiaoxiao walked to the carriage, sat down and said, "It should have been hooked by a stab." ”

As he spoke, Guo Xiaoxiao lifted the leg of his trousers, and sure enough, there was a long wound. But fortunately, the wound was not deep, and there was a little blood, so Guo Xiaoxiao asked Xiaolan to wrap it in a handkerchief first.

It was a little cold at night, so Guo Xiaoxiao and Xiaolan went to the carriage to rest. I wanted to go back to the post station to settle down, but the two didn't know the way, and it was already dark, so it was not safe to rush to the night.

After another hour, Guo Xiaoxiao and the others heard footsteps not far away. Guo Xiaoxiao didn't dare to get out of the carriage, and held Xiaolan tightly to hide in the carriage. Until I heard Jiang Feng's voice, "Miss! Xiaolan! Guo Xiaoxiao opened the curtain.

Guo Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "You guys are finally back?" But there is some danger? ”

Datang said: "Back to the eldest lady, there is no danger, it's just that the minions got lost in the mountains and wandered around for a long time to find the right direction." It's still Brother Jiang who has the foresight, and I'm afraid that Miss will be affected if she goes. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled: "It's okay for you to have nothing to do." Is there anything to be found? ”

Jiang Feng took out a sack and said with a smile: "The minions found a lot of them, and they filled them with a small half bag." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "Are you serious about the drawings?" ”

Jiang Feng said: "Don't worry, it's right." ”

"That'll be fine." Guo Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "You have worked hard, let's get in the carriage first." ”

After a while, Guo Xiaoxiao said again: "Jiang Feng, do you still have the strength to drive a carriage?" ”

"Don't worry, the minion can hold on."

"Okay." Guo Xiaoxiao put down the curtain and sat back in the car, "Everyone is also tired and needs to eat, let's go back to the post station to rest first." ”
