Chapter 140: Mountain Rain is Coming

Xiu'er saw her cousin's love for her cousin's sister-in-law, she was jealous for a while, and her mouth teased, everyone guessed the riddle together, the atmosphere was originally warm, and she was cold by what she said, and they all stopped talking, looking at her, but no one answered her words.

That Xiao Yun knew Xiu'er's intentions for a long time, and she didn't like her on weekdays, especially when she targeted the second sister-in-law he liked everywhere, which made Xiao Yun even more annoyed when she saw her, seeing that she teased her cousin-in-law everywhere in and out of her words, and was cold again, she didn't feel disgusted, afraid of going cold, Xiu'er said something that she didn't like to listen to, which hurt the dignity of the second sister-in-law, and hurriedly opened her mouth and said decisively:

"Of course, a manly husband, how can he be as knowledgeable as a little woman, and tonight he will follow the rules set by the second sister-in-law."

"Good"

Mengxi nodded briskly. Who is Mengxi, he has already filtered Xiu'er's words, and he snorted twice as a mosquito in his ear.

Xiu'er listened to the words of the third master, her heart was displeased, and she just wanted to say more, when she raised her eyes to the cold gaze that her cousin swept over, she was shocked, and she must not let her cousin feel that she was narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate her cousin-in-law.

Xiao Jun retracted his gaze and sat there silently with a gloomy face, not noticing a trace of resentment flashing in Xiu'er's eyes. Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Zhiqiu glanced at Miss Xiu with dissatisfaction, turned his head to the second "milk" and "milk" and said:

"The second 'milk' and 'milk' guess the riddle just now, if you guess wrong, the agreement with the third master just now will not be counted"

She didn't want her family's "milk" and "milk" to force the third master to sign such an unequal agreement, and she was also said to love money, and said secretly:

My second "milk" and "milk", now our Yichun Hall alone enters 1,000 taels a day, this is still what you have to do to sell in limited quantities, otherwise with the magic of cold incense pills, it will not be a problem to enter 10,000. You always say that the silver is not much, just enough to spend, life is short, you have to be happy in time, why is it that at this time you are "fascinated" by wealth, staring at other people's gold ingots, your eyes are blue, and you don't believe that you can't swear to give up, you don't believe it, there are flowers on the gold ingots of the third master!

Zhiqiu secretly complained about the two "milk" and "milk" wealth "fans", so she found an excuse, counting on the second "milk" and "milk" to pretend to be unguessable, and fooled the things just now.

But her family's wealth "fan", "milk" and "milk" were destined to disappoint her, and she saw Mengxi nodding and saying:

"The answer to the mystery is water."

Zhichun listened, and snatched the mystery in Zhiqiu's hand to see:

"Really, yes, as soon as I wash things with water, the water is dirty, of course I can't drink it, why didn't I think of it?"

Zhichun jumped to his feet as he spoke, looking like his intestines were repentant. Xiao Yun and the others pondered carefully and found that it was indeed water, so they nodded and said:

"This is the second sister-in-law's guess, okay, the second sister-in-law is 'confused'."

Mengxi thought for a while and said:

"Third master, guess what, what animal only has 2 catties when it flies in the sky, but it has 1,000 catties when it falls to the ground?"

All the people at the table, including Xiao Jun and Xiu'er, guessed for a long time, and finally shook their heads, they really couldn't think of it. Xiao Yun then said:

"Okay, this is considered a second sister-in-law won, I admit punishment"

As he spoke, he handed the gold ingots to his second sister-in-law. Mengxi happily took it. The third master looked at the gold ingots in the hands of the second sister-in-law reluctantly, and asked without giving up:

"What kind of animal is it, second sister-in-law, tell me?"

Mengxi played with the gold ingots in her hand, but she didn't say anything, Xiao Yun saw that her second sister-in-law swore to die, and she was even more curious, and said:

"The second sister-in-law is finished, it's time for me to solve the mystery"

"Okay, the third master said, I'll guess."

Mengxi had the gold ingots in his hand, and he was not afraid of losing, so he responded cheerfully. I saw the third master stand up, put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps elegantly, and said:

"Second sister-in-law, guess what, what animal only has 2 catties when it flies in the sky, but it has 1,000 catties when it falls to the ground?"

Everyone looked at Mengxi with their eyes, no way, they were so curious, they all wanted to know what kind of animal this was.

Mengxi generously handed the third master a gold ingot, and said:

"This counts me as losing, I admit punishment, and I don't know what kind of animal it is."

Xiao Yun froze there, dumbfounded, including Xiao Jun, everyone looked at Mengxi with a confused expression:

That's fine, what's the difference between this and Ming robbery! If you see this second "milk" and "milk" again in the future, you have to hide the gold ingots!

Zhiqiu and the other four maids blushed and looked at the ground, wishing that there was a crack in the ground to get into, this is also what our "milk" and "milk" did! secretly swore that they would not admit that the second "milk" and "milk" were their masters if they were killed at this moment.

Mengxi played with the gold ingots he had just won, and when he looked up, he saw that the third master was still standing there with his mouth open, he was in a good mood, and smiled at him happily.

When Xiao Yun saw it, his soul was gone, so he didn't care about a gold ingot, and sat down stupidly.

When Xiao Jun saw it, he was stunned for a while, and said secretly: "If you can often see such a smile, let alone a gold ingot, what if you give everything you have?" ”

……

The old lady's birthday has passed, and the show girl who was supposed to leave the house was unexpectedly not sent back, on the contrary, the old lady was very enthusiastic about her, and took her baby like a granddaughter.

Xiao Jie and Xiao Fei rushed back to the south non-stop on the third day after Lao Taijun's birthday. The second master and the eldest master suddenly became busy, the two often discussed secretly in the study until late at night, and the second master often went out of the house overnight, not knowing what to do, and often disappeared for three or four days.

Even the old lady has become abnormal, she is no longer okay to chat with Mengxi to relieve boredom, "rub" shoulders, often Mengxi invited an and was sent back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, occasionally chatting a few more words, Mengxi can often see a trace of regret in the eyes of the old lady, when carefully arrested, but nowhere to be seen.

Mengxi even noticed that even the minions of the Xiao Mansion were trembling, silent, and there was a tense atmosphere everywhere in the Xiao Mansion, and there was a situation where the mountain rain was coming.

In the end, Zhiqiu finally found out from the painting of the old lady's personal maid, it turned out that all this was because: the prince is critically ill, and the emperor has the intention of setting up another prince!

Sitting on the stone bench in the backyard of the East Wing, Zhiqiu said this, sighed and said:

"No wonder the slave maid '' the heart for a long time, and didn't see the prince on his birthday, it turned out to be sick, so he didn't come to celebrate his birthday, how can a good person, say that he is critically ill, it is really an unforeseen situation, people have good fortune and misfortune, or the second "milk" "milk" is right, life is short, to be happy in time, but unfortunately, people like us are involuntarily."

After listening to Zhiqiu's words, Mengxi didn't speak, and looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, it was really about to change. She doesn't understand, doesn't the Xiao family have ancestral teachings: "The heads of the Xiao family in previous dynasties are not allowed to enter the court as officials" Then in the replacement of the prince, the Xiao family did not stand in line, and there is no possibility of standing wrong! Why is the sky in Xiao Mansion about to change?

I suddenly remembered that when she first got married, she once went to the Dawn Garden to give gifts to the big "milk" and "milk", and the big "milk" and "milk" had mentioned that the opportunity for the second master to go out was to go through the prince's door, and the old lady almost fell ill for this matter. In a flash of inspiration, the Xiao family lined up this time, and they stood on the wrong side!

Shaking her head, the affairs of the court are changing rapidly, and it is not her a woman's family that cares. Let's look at our own situation. The dull air that suffocated her in Xiao Mansion, especially the old lady's obvious behavior of sending Xiu'er and the second master to the pile, made her feel that she was not far from the day when she was dismissed from the hall and left Xiao Mansion.
