The main courtyard of the second room of Xia Mansion suddenly caught fire, hitting Xia Mansion, or rather, Xia Cunlu was caught off guard. When the fire was brought under control, he went to look for someone, and then he found that Liu Cheng, who had been about to extinguish the mouth, was also gone.

Xia Cunlu suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent someone to Zhuangzi to find Liu Cheng's wife, who would have thought that even Liu Cheng's wife was picked up. And, according to the people on Zhuangzi, he walked away with a deed of sale.

Liu Cheng and his wife's deed of sale were originally in the burned house, but now a fire has burned things to the ground, even if he wants to check it, he can't find it.

Later, Yahuan replied that she had seen Chu Peijin and Yahuan quietly go back from the outside before the fire, although it was possible that Liu Cheng sent her back, but the problem is that Yahuan didn't see Chu Peijin and her Yahuan coming to their second room at all, and she couldn't see if this matter had anything to do with the girl!

Thinking about it, this thing is weird everywhere, and it is certain that nine times out of ten it is still related to Chu Peijin. If it really was her, it would be terrible! Being able to get out smoothly, and having the courage to set fire to make things untraceable, is not something that ordinary boudoir women can do.

What's more, Chu Peijin, his niece, has checked it in private, and it is almost the same as what his second sister said. In addition to being weak and sick from time to time, his temperament is still soft and his courage is not great......

Xia Cunlu looked at the thin little body in front of him, and once again denied the thoughts in his heart. How could it be her?

"Uh...... That's it! Go back and ask your second aunt to pick a better yard for you......"

"Then thank you Second Uncle!" Chu Peijin blessed Xia Cunlu as she spoke, with a grateful look on her face.

Xia Cunlu's heart was strained, and he unconsciously held his breath and couldn't go up or down there.

Thinking about the purpose of his coming today, Xia Cunlu still had some luck.

"It's very strange to walk in the house today, and my uncle is here to ask you, did you have any suspicious people here this morning?"

As soon as Chu Peijin heard this, she said secretly, it was really for this matter.

On the side, Cuizhi and Cuizhu heard this, and their hearts were raised in their throats. The two of them, looking at Chu Peijin without blinking, were worried that they would be discovered by the second master of the Xia family.

"Ah......h

Chu Peijin covered her mouth and couldn't help yawning, and then said with a hint of apology: "Second uncle, forgive me, Jin'er didn't fall asleep until the fifth watch this morning, and I overslept this sleep, if it weren't for the two cousins and the second sister coming to look for me, I'm afraid I'm still sleeping!" ”

After saying this, she saw that Xia Cunlu's face was obviously a little unsightly, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you ask the people in this courtyard for you?" Maybe they can give their uncle some clues. ”

Chu Peijin's calmness gave Cuizhu and Cuizhi great confidence, and when they heard her say this, they hurriedly shook their heads, and said: "The girl didn't sleep well, and the two slaves and maids didn't dare to disturb, so they embroidered outside, and never saw any suspicious people appear!" ”

Chu Peijin spread his hands and said to Xia Cunlu: "Second uncle, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." ”

Did ...... ask such a question?

Seeing Chu Peijin's calm and natural performance, as if nothing had really happened, Xia Cunlu couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Did she really not know, or did she pretend not to? Thinking of the medicine he asked her to prescribe, his heart was even more irritable at this time!

Seeing that he might not be able to ask anything more, Xia Cunlu had no choice but to say a few perfunctory words and left with a calm face.

Looking at his departing back, Chu Peijin's gaze became deeper.

Although there was such a thing in the Xia Mansion, it was better than Xia Cunlu who was willing to spend money, so the day before the old lady of the Xia family was born, the traces of the fire were cleaned up. Because it is to be rebuilt, so on the day of the old lady's birthday, the courtyard door was simply locked with a lock, in order to prevent being seen and gossiped by people with a heart, the original inner garden can not be used in the living room. Fortunately, there were still a few days to make changes, so in the end, it was decided to set up a banquet and a troupe in the garden of the East Courtyard to entertain the guests.

Thanks to Xia Cunlu's blessing, Chu Peijin's master and servant really changed places, which were very close to where Chu Peixuan lived, and the place where her mother Xia Suyun lived was only across the water. The environment here is quiet, and the furnishings inside are many times better than the previous rooms, and Chu Peijin lives very comfortably. It's a pity -

"Girl, what can you do?"

Cuizhi stared at the scroll of scriptures in her hand with a bitter face, her face panicked.

Looking at the hand-copied scripture that had been destroyed, Chu Peijin's brows were about to knot. This is the "Diamond Sutra" that the former lord has spent two months copying and finishing, and is ready to give it to Mrs. Xia as a birthday gift.

"Girl, the slave remembers that things have been stored in the brocade box and have never been taken out and moved, how can they be ......" Cuizhu, a very stable girl ring on weekdays, was also pale at this time. The birthday banquet has begun, and there is no possibility of preparing gifts temporarily, what should the girl do today?

Chu Peijin pursed her lips and was silent, quickly recalling the people who had appeared around her in the past few days, several cousins in Xia Mansion, the second sister of her own family, the third sister and the ninth sister who was only more than five years old...... Soon, she had a vague guess in her heart.

"Girl, what should I do? If you don't have a gift and wait for someone to make fun of you, the point is ...... "It's a shame!"

The granddaughter came to congratulate her grandfather on his birthday, but she had empty hands, and if it was passed on, her girl's reputation would be lost!

"Okay, help me make up first, and then play on the spot!"

"Improvised, impromptu play?"

Cuizhi and Cuizhu looked at Chu Peijin in unison, not understanding what the girl meant, could it be that she wanted to make a painting on the spot? But the girl's painting...... I can't seem to do it......

Chu Peijin waved her hand and joked with the two of them calmly: "You don't have to worry, this girl knows in her heart and won't embarrass you." ”

Cuizhu shook her head when she heard this, and said with a desperate face: "Girl, the slaves and maids are not afraid of losing face, if there is really no way to do it then, you will say that the slaves and maids are not good at taking care of the things and breaking things, so it is none of the girl's business!" ”

Cuizhi also hurriedly followed: "Yes, yes, yes! Girl, if you say that the slave accidentally broke it when she took something, you will punish the slave and the slave, and the slave and the maid are not afraid! ”

Watching the two of them scramble to take the mistake on themselves, Chu Peijin was a little moved in her heart, although the former master was a little weaker, he was sincere. It's not bad to be able to train such two loyal people in a bunch of maids!

Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on her smooth little face: "It's good to know that you are loyal." However, you two put your hearts in your stomachs, and I will be fine with your girl! ”

The two maids glanced at each other, their faces full of suspicion, but they didn't ask again, but dressed up Chu Peijin quickly with their hands and feet, and served for breakfast.

"Big sister, are you ready?"

Just as she was about to take a sip of tea and rest in the house for a while before going out, Chu Peijin heard the voice of her second sister Chu Peixuan from outside the door, the corners of her mouth hooked up a hint of non-existent arc, and Chong Cuizhi motioned for her to open the door.
