Xia Xiaoman heard Xiaowei's sister-in-law say this, nodded, and felt that she had recognized the wrong person. Because of her humble background, the seventh grandmother Zhou has always been self-pitying, cautious in her words and deeds, and she pays the most attention to her appearance and refuses to show her flaws. Where can you get messy hair?
Xiao Wei's sister-in-law and Xia Xiaoman also had something to say, and they didn't shy away from it, because she mentioned the seventh grandmother, she said in a low voice: "Auntie, I listened in a trance yesterday, and the fifth grandmother beat a maid in the seventh master's room half to death." It's just that I listened to this sentence in a trance, but I don't know what it is. My aunt and grandmother have not been at home for the past two days, and I just want to talk to you about it, and you will have a number in your heart. The words were said to Xia Xiaoman, but his eyes were looking at fennel.
Fennel was going to go back and talk to the master about it again, but now that she saw Xiao Wei's sister-in-law mention it, she asked the master with her eyes and signaled if she wanted to talk about it here.
Xia Xiaoman smiled, the fifth grandmother was silent for a month, I am afraid that it is uncomfortable to be depressed, I don't know who was unlucky, stepped on the thunder, and caused the volcano to erupt. It's just that she beat her own people, why did she even beat her brother-in-law's people? This is unreasonable.
She didn't treat Xiao Wei's sister-in-law as a passerby, so she nodded to Fennel and asked with a smile: "She's really amazing." What is this for? β
Fennel replied: "The slave doesn't know what it is for, but I heard that the fifth grandmother came back from her mother's house early in the eleventh day of the new year, and then took someone to the seventh master's courtyard, but the seventh grandmother and the seventh grandmother were not there." There is a new person who was promoted to the front yard named Zhenyi, I don't know the depth, and the words collided with the fifth grandmother. The fifth grandmother was already carrying the fire, so she called people to slap her mouth, and the treasure was also unconscious, she was not convinced after being slapped twice, and she was full of shouting that the people in the seventh master's room could not teach the fifth grandmother a lesson, and the fifth grandmother went directly to the board...... The second grandmother and the fourth grandmother have returned to their parents' house, and when the fourth lady gets the letter, she will call someone to stop her, and Zhenzhi has been beaten to the point that she has only one breath left. β
Xia Xiaoman pouted, maybe the fifth grandmother was looking for a chicken to make an example of the monkey, but if it was like this, this maid was definitely "self-inflicted, not alive". Where are the ordinary maids in the seventh master's room, they all roll over the sheets with the seventh master. This maid is afraid that the seventh master is new, so she thinks that her identity is different, and the fifth grandmother has been particularly stopped this month, and this unlucky child is eighty percent of the tiger who is not powerful as a sick cat, and as a result, he was bitten half to death.
She didn't have a good impression of the goblins in the seventh master's room, but she pondered, the fifth grandmother is looking for the seventh master's trouble, doesn't the seventh master help the fifth master manage the accounts, it should be a confidant, this is infighting, or is the fifth grandmother acting without any standards, who to catch and bite whom?
Fennel and Xiao Wei's sister-in-law didn't listen to any movement. Xiao Wei's sister-in-law said: "The ninth day of the lunar month is the day when grandmothers return to Ningning. The Seventh Grandma also left early in the morning, and she hadn't returned home yetβthat's why I just looked at that person and thought it would be the Seventh Grandma. The fifth grandmother also went back to her parents' house, and the two cities were west and north of the city, so there should be no collision. β
Fennel also said: "The slave maid heard from the people in the house that the seventh master didn't know where to rest after going out on the ninth day of the first month, and he didn't have a home yet...... The third lady sent someone to look for it, but she didn't find it, and the matter of the treasure is also hanging......"
Xia Xiaoman shrugged, there was still a lot of trouble in this big year, and he didn't know how long it was to toss.

The residence of the longevity of the year
When Xia Xiaoman came back, the second lady Gao was also there. Gao also came back from his mother's house and brought some food to see his nephew.
Xia Xiaoman went in to ask for peace, and then asked Fennel to bring up the folk food bought on the street for Gao's to taste. In fact, she just let it go, Su Ri saw that Gao's food and clothing were very particular, and she didn't expect her to really taste these street stalls.
Gao didn't dislike things, he also tasted a piece of persimmon, praised the deliciousness, and said with a smile: "Good boy, it's hard for you to have a heart." Then he asked her how well everyone in her house was.
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said okay. But he said in his heart, that is, his body is much better, and his conscience is greatly damaged.
Gao rewarded her with some snacks and sent her down.
Xia Xiaoman returned to the house to put his luggage first, and because Qing Ying was not waiting for the second lady, she brought two little maids to help. Xia Xiaoman has a headache because of the matter of distributing gifts, no one can leave these things behind, and they can't be completely indistinguishable from thick and thin, and they have to be particular, she remembered that when Baochai sent gifts in the Red Mansion, it was really not easy for people like Aunt Zhao to boast in their hearts, and she Xia Xiaoman didn't have this skill at all. Seeing Qingying coming, it happened to be her a staff officer.
Qing Sakura responded with a smile, divided the parts, and asked someone to help send it.
Xia Xiaoman secretly looked at it and remembered it in his heart, if there is a next time, he will be able to save a lot of trouble. When she was done, Qing Ying said goodbye, and she asked for hot water, although she couldn't take a bath, but she also wanted to scrub her body and wash her hair. After scrubbing, the second lady came to report that the second lady was gone, and Nian Liang called her over.
Because she thought about coming back for a nap for a while, Xia Xiaoman didn't wear formal clothes on the inside and outside three layers, anyway, she had been a night shift nanny, and she had seen all the clothes she wore for years, and there was nothing to avoid, so she put on a daily jacket on the outside of her middle coat, put on a cloak, and wore a hood to protect her wet hair, and came to the warm pavilion.
First politely thank her for the New Year's forgiveness and let her go home, this kind of politeness is not only necessary in etiquette and rules, but also she Xia Xiaoman wants to thank - not for anything else, the key is that she goes home, in addition to the expenses of buying messy things, she also left a dozen taels of silver to give herself as a red envelope, and if she takes someone else's, she can't declare it clearly, and she is also down-to-earth in her heart by borrowing the introduction to thank her......
Nian Liang didn't think about that, smiled and told her not to be polite, looked at her carefully, asked about everything at home, and then asked her slowly: "Does the family still recognize you?" What did they say to you about the past? Do you remember? β
Xia Xiaoman shook his head tightly, because he was wearing a small jacket at will, the placket was not covered so tightly, and the kung fu of taking off the cloak and walking around was a little scattered, and if he moved like this, he would reveal a piece of his smooth neck.
Nian Liang looked at it, and suddenly reached out and reached between her neck.
In the past month, Xia Xiaoman has been much slower to respond to his intimate actions, anyway, there is no excessive skin-to-skin blind date, just talk about pulling a small hand or leaning on it. So she only reflexively tilted her head, and his fingertips had landed on her neckline.
When Xia Xiaoman realized that he wanted to pull her neckline, he hurriedly leaned back, looked embarrassed, and said, "What are you doing?" "Make no mistake, I haven't seen you for two days? The question is whether your body can do it, you want to be crooked......
The one who made the mistake was her, and as it turned out, she was still less CJ.
Because Nian Liang only saw that there was no red line on her neck, he said strangely: "Where is the money on your neck?" β
"Uh......" Xia Xiaoman was even more embarrassed. She didn't expect Nian Liang to pay attention to what she brought, so she wasn't even ready to talk nonsense. She was a little surprised, she didn't know how much Nian Liang knew about the meaning behind the bill, but she didn't have time to think about it carefully, she made it up casually: "The rope is broken, and I don't know if the piece of money has fallen, and it was thrown on the street." β
She once lost a beloved necklace like this, but she ignored it, she lost the necklace in the summer, wearing a dress, and now it is winter, and now she wears a costume, and her clothes are tied tightly inside and out, even if the rope breaks, it falls into the clothes.
Nian Liang frowned, just looked at her and didn't speak.
Xia Xiaoman remembered that he had said that the original version just didn't open his mouth if he didn't want to say anything, and he had never lied to him, so he was a little weak-hearted, but he must not change his words, she said: "I think it's so lost." I also came back and found out. β
She can only insist on losing it, if no one in the Yao family opens her eyes in the future and makes a fuss about that bill, she will say that she has lost it early, and she doesn't know who picked it up or stole it, anyway, it has nothing to do with her.
Now her mind is turning ninety-nine eighty-one turns, and she is working at full speed to figure out how much she knows about her whereabouts in the past two days.
Regarding the incident of meeting Yao Geng that day, she didn't say anything to Cardamom - if Cardamom is a zongzi, it is useless to say it; If cardamom is not a zongzi, let alone a dumpling, what is instructed to cover up is to attract suspicion.
If Nian Liang knew about Yao Geng now, it is likely that Cardamom is not a zongzi, because the little girl has been by her side since she came back from the Xia family, and she has not left for a moment, and she does not have the ability to deliver news. But that means she has other zongzi by her side...... Motive ...... Time Witness ......
Xia Xiaoman is about to cultivate himself into a "Detective Ke Man" here, but Nian Liang over there is noncommittal, withdrawing his hand, his face is as usual, and he said with a smile as he used to send her away: "Look at you're tired too, go and rest." β
Xia Xiaoman clicked his eyes, if he really wanted to destroy her, he would frame her casually, she would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, or, even if he didn't need to be framed, he would just find a fault and kill her. If he gives her a chance to speak, then she is confident that she will succeed.
So she didn't worry about it anymore, smiled calmly, and retreated.
When she returned to her house, the maids who had sent her were back, waiting to talk to her.
Since most of the grandmothers who returned to their parents' homes have not yet returned, she has not received many gifts in return. In fact, otherwise, when those masters, wives and grandmothers rarely return gifts to people of her status, usually they are willing to accept her gifts and call them faces, and the most they give in return is only two words of greeting and praise.
But today, she was very surprised, she received a return gift from the fifth grandmother Wu, a small box of carved candied fruit.
Xia Xiaoman fiddled with the box in his hand, and was suspicious in his heart, this thing was weird, didn't he want to give her a box of medicine to eat her, right? She had already begun to think about whether she would like to find a small creature to test the poison first.
"What else did the fifth grandmother say?" She asked the maid who sent the things to the Fifth Grandma's Courtyard, "Or, who is on the Fifth Grandma's side?" "Who does Grandma Xu want to show to whom?
The little maid shook her head and replied, "The fifth grandmother said that she invited her aunt to taste it, but she didn't say anything about it." There were only five grandmothers in the house. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "However, when the slave came out, she seemed to see the seventh master and the fifth master in the hall." β
