Chapter 9: The New Meeting of Dawn

Sleepless all night, suffering for a long time, Xiaoyu still fell asleep smoothly, the early morning morning light shone into the room, and the warm sunlight mischievously teased her closed eyelids. "It's annoying. The morning sun is the enemy of sleepy women!" he thought to himself as he rubbed his sleepy eyes.

She sat lightly in front of the basin to start the day's delicate grooming, after all, she is now a decent aristocratic lady, the basin in front of her is full of mountain spring water drawn from Qishan Tianyun Spring on the edge of Dingzhou, boiled water and kept warm for two hours, sprinkled with rose essence, honey and milk, a champa soaked in it, Xiao Yu carefully pinched the silk square handkerchief into a ball with his left hand, rolled up the champa with his index finger, and began to scrub his face along the forehead, after scrubbing, the two maids took the second basin of water, the water was warm and moist, and the fragrance lingered, this is the warm water soaked in Western spices, Xiao Yu submerged his face into it, and the maid went deep into the basin with both hands and kneaded Xiao Yu's face carefully, back and forth after four or five times, the aroma has penetrated the skin.

After wiping her face clean, she stripped off her inner clothes and entered the flower tub in the inner hall, where she began her daily favorite part of her life, the security of every inch of her skin being submerged in the water made her extremely comfortable, and the maids carefully rubbed their hands along her joints from head to toe.

Half an hour later, the white and translucent Xiaoyu was wearing a white brocade silk robe, sitting on the dresser, the rehydrated petal pattern pasted on his forehead today, the corners of his eyes were smeared with pink eyeliner and flew upward, the pink rouge was evenly patted, and the refined water that maintained humidity was sprinkled on the skin finely, and was gently spread by a soft brush, and the eyelids were lightly spread with a light pink eyeshadow, and the lilac lipstick was pressed out of a lip line by the thick mouth, sprinkled with refined moisturizing water, and formed a translucent highlight after being evenly applied.

The red mole at the corner of the eye is painted with playful small petals, which is very cute. The combination of the flipped and slender eyelashes is just right, and the eyebrows are slender and solemn.

Today's Xiaoyu changed into a stand-up collar bandeau gold tuanhua silk robe, highlighting the collarbone exudes a seductive beauty, the skirt is obliquely cut, and the petticoat folds are matched with a layer of contrast, draped in pure white fox skin shoulders, a delicate and elegant, sturdy and slender legs wrapped in embroidered plum blossom white cotton brocade silk silk socks, warm and beautiful, feet wearing tuanhua gold-rimmed boat shoes.

This beauty got up lightly and slowly forward, sat on the main seat of the dining table, looked at the table full of dishes, tasted it carefully, on the left hand side is a cut egg, the crystal clear egg yolk is liquid, there are two osmanthus nectar on it, stir it evenly with a long scoop of soup, pick it up and put it in the mouth, sweet and delicious, glutinous unlimited, soybeans, red beans, black beans, red beans, barley, corn stirred out of the soybean milk without any impurities, Xiaoyu is slow to taste, very sweet, put the coke oil candy in the small plate in front of you into the soybean milk, accompanied by the tooth chewing aroma, so that Xiaoyu's index finger moved, knowing its sweetnessThe feeling of invigoration brings a good mood!

After breakfast, the head of the Duan family in Yingnan, Duan Chao came to visit with three family members, only to see Duan Chao's thick eyebrows and thick nose, dark skin, and steel needle-like iron whiskers covering his chin, only to see him clasp his fists and salute respectfully and said: "Sixth Miss Morning! Uncle Duan Xu of this mansion and your personal guard Lin Yimei are about to arrive in Dingzhou, they brought a batch of materials and a title deed to the master of the main family, and attached a letter from him, I hope Miss Six will watch it after receiving it, and give him a reply." ”

"I see, Uncle Steelbeard, what are these people getting?"

"Oh, I went early in the morning to see my uncle at the branch's house, and he told me to bring two fast horses and a carriage for the sixth lady to send to you, and I, O I, have brought your favorite white feather flying frost! ”

Xiao Yu stood up happily and said with a smile: "Uncle Steelbeard, there are many spies in the Xiao family in Dingzhou, you are not being targeted." ”

Duan Chao smiled slyly: "Miss, don't worry, my uncle and I are specially separated from each other, the Xiao family's monitoring is mainly focused on the caravan, and I followed the cleaning team into the city in the middle of the night, and entered my uncle's house through the back door, you follow me downstairs first, there are people waiting for you in the carriage." ”

Xiaoyu smiled knowingly: "I know that you know me best, so I'll go with you to see the horse." After speaking, she followed Duan Chao downstairs to the hall.

Xiao Yu waited for Tu Heng at the outer door and said, "Captain Tu, my Duan family's carriage has arrived, I will no longer occupy the Xiao family's carriage, today I will go to the Chengnan Post House to wait for the receipt of the Duan family's materials, please bring this car back, carefully overhaul it, and thank the Xiao family's brothers and sisters-in-law on my behalf!"

Tu Heng was anxious because of the disappearance of the two spies, and was helpless because of the death of the ace spy, but when the words came to her mouth, she was stopped by Xiaoyu's silence, she gently touched the car window and said: "Please Captain Tu believe me, go back and overhaul carefully, maybe you will see your lost harness!" After speaking, he didn't look back, and boarded the carriage of his family and left Yiyue Pavilion.

I saw the eldest sister in the car, the fourth sister-in-law Du Jiping sitting in it, the eldest sister was majestic, her face was luxurious, her phoenix eyes were half-open and seemed to be angry, but the fourth sister-in-law had red eyes, although she was delicate and beautiful, but she had something on her mind and a sad face.

Seeing her sister, who she hadn't seen for a long time, Xiaoyu warmly held her hands and said coquettishly, "Sister." You don't say a word when you come, sister, I should visit in person, I can't be rude!"

Bu Xiaohua Feng looked at each other, and said with displeasure: "Hmph! The words are good, you entered the city yesterday, and your father took your second brother and third brother to patrol the border, if it weren't for the seventh brother coming to tell me, me and your fourth sister-in-law would still be in the dark! You know my intention of bringing your fourth sister-in-law to see you, right? If you don't come to the door to meet us, you dare to go to the Chamber of Commerce ceremony of the Xiao family thieves with the seventh brother? Your fourth sister-in-law cried all night last night, do you know?"

Du Jiping stretched out his hand and pulled the sleeve of the eldest sister, and said softly, "Eldest sister, I see that the sixth sister has her own difficulties, I can understand it!"

The eldest sister showed her female might, crossed her hands on her waist, and raised her eyebrows and said hatefully: "Don't talk to her, since you were a child, your fourth brother loves you the most, and your fourth sister-in-law also takes care of you the most, every time you come to the north, aren't they the two of them who take you to play with Lao Qi? Why is it that now your fourth brother's hatred has not been reported, you and Xiao Jiamei have gone to eye each other?

Xiaoyu's eyes were red, pondered for a long time, and said hatefully: "The enmity of the fourth brother, after the original situation is investigated, the little sister will personally get it back, and swear here, heaven and earth are a lesson!" Bu Xiaohua saw this, and his words gradually became gentle: Okay, if you have this heart, you can go to a place with us now. ”

Du Jiping lovingly wiped away Xiaoyu's tears, took her into his arms, and teased her softly, which provoked her to burst into laughter. Don't stop being spoiled!

Half an hour later, the Futing Post House in the south of the city, the double doors were fully opened, the post house guards lined up to welcome, and the supervisor respectfully welcomed everyone into the hall, and said humbly: "I got the news the day before yesterday, Miss Duan, you have a large number of materials will be delivered to us, and we will do our best to keep them and ensure the safety of the goods!"

"Yes, after the goods arrive, my uncle will give you the remaining deposit within three days!"

"Thank you, Miss Duan, and the Jiazi Building No. 7 you want to survey is in the second room on the second floor and turn right, I know the rules, please check the three ladies for themselves!

Xiao Yu admired his understanding, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "These are the bounties of you and your men, remember that we have never been here!" The steward replied slyly, "See what you said?

Looking at his cunning appearance, Xiaoyu appreciated it more and more: "Hahaha! Interesting!"

Xiao Yu smiled heartily and led the two into the room, and after closing the door, the eldest sister and the fourth sister-in-law took off the veils on their heads. Looking around, Du Jiping's eyes were red again, sobbing gradually rose, and he said painfully: "This is the room where we were attacked that day!"

She couldn't bear to look closely, lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and Xiaoyu looked around, looking at the knife marks and sword marks on the wall.

"Your fourth brother's sword skills are strong, and with the help of your fourth sister-in-law, you should be able to deal with any danger in the world today! But that night, your fourth brother only fought with this person for ten rounds, and he was defeated, we can hardly imagine!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the other party should be the two!"

"Yes, Xiao Zhang and I do deal with one person, I deal with a woman outdoors, this person's secret weapon is extremely dangerous, and when he plays the strings, he shoots a small piece of dark iron, which is dense and impermanent!"

"And after Xiao Zhang's defeat, I heard the murderer inside shout in surprise that he had killed the wrong person! When I entered the room to investigate carefully, the murderer was no longer visible, and Xiao Zhang's neck was cut open, and the blade was thin in front and wide in the back, which was the work of Xiao Jinghuan's famous double blade!

Xiao Yu inspected for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "The people who came that night were indeed his husband and wife, and there were fragments of the Hanging Wing Flying Chapter on the outer wall, but they really didn't come to kill the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law, because the sword move was about ten times, and he didn't use the trick of double dragon twisting beads, otherwise the fourth brother would have been killed by the head of the sword, but with the fourth brother's ability, the two of them were equal, and he couldn't kill the fourth brother." And according to the fourth sister-in-law, the neck wound should be wiped from back to front, you see the sword marks, they all appeared in front of the fourth brother, indicating that there was a third person at that time, and the target was not the fourth brother, but Xiao Jinghuan. Within half a month, I will investigate this matter, and if he can't prove his innocence, whether he did it or not, I will personally come to the door and make a decision with him and his wife. ”

Bu Xiaohua rubbed his sister's shoulder with satisfaction, and said softly: "Well, this inference is reasonable, but if you want to kill Xiao Jinghuan, why use a weapon with the same blade?"

"In order to frame the blame, just like the death of Zhou Zhengquan's father and son, the blame was planted on me, both of them seem to have been defeated by my rain and pear blossom eighteen branches, but Zhou Pingjing was not done by me, he was directly broken by the strength of his hand, with my golden needle, I can't do this, and Zhou Zhengquan also concluded that I am not a murderer. It's a trick, but even if we know it in our hearts. The struggle between the two families will inevitably arise because of this! We must settle this matter before the old uncle officially intervenes, strive to harvest the Xiao family in the north, and achieve the goal of dividing the Xiao family!" Xiao Yu said in a deep voice.

Xiao Hua said with relief: "Little sister is right, in that case, what are your plans?" Xiao Yu smiled deeply, "My seventh brother and I have already made a move, and then it depends on how they take it!"
