While speaking, the carriage had arrived at the Lian family's house. It's all on the same street, and the Jiang family walks out of the alley and goes west for a short while. Peony helped Mrs. Jiang out of the carriage as usual. Old Mrs. Jiang must have a strange smell more and more. There are so many snacks on this street that it's hard to spot if you don't smell them carefully.

Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Lian Zhai, and there were a few guard-looking people chatting at the door. Looking at the door of Lian's house again, it was actually an ordinary elm. Old Mrs. Jiang's doubts deepened, Lian's family was the richest man in Qingzhou, and the head of the Lian family personally went to Beijing to do some business, how could she be so low-key? Just looking at that courtyard, even the Jiang family was not as good.

Peony motioned for one of the guards to go up and hand over the poster. The guards took a few steps forward, and Old Lady Jiang saw that the guards who were chatting easily became vigilant like a fried cat. The guard here handed over the name post, and just said two words. They were already driven away: "Go, go, go, who knows what Jiang family and what family." Let's go!"

Peony listened to it, thinking that there were many people today, and was about to step forward to give them a theory. Mrs. Jiang said, "Maybe I'm mistaken! Let's go back." Peony couldn't be angry: "Old lady, they are too rude, I don't know what kind of master family they raised such a slave." It's time to teach them a lesson!"

Even if she was mistaken, Mrs. Jiang didn't want to stay here. She said slowly: "I know that he is not polite, and what is there to teach him." No hassle!"

Peony didn't dare to say anything more, and helped the old lady into the carriage. Mrs. Jiang walked to the carriage, suddenly turned her head again, and sniffed the air. She thought of where she had smelled it. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two sons of Zhou Youxiang were sent to the border at a young age, and they would bring fire guns when they returned to Beijing to report on their work in the first two years. She celebrates the New Year in Zhou's mansion every year, so she knows the smell! The smell is gunpowder!

Gunpowder inside the gunpowder!

The old lady Jiang turned around and walked towards the mansion by herself, Peony thought that the old lady was going to teach those rude minions a lesson, and helped the old lady to walk forward to the guards. The guards guarded against them again, and Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, I've found the wrong person!

The guards still did not relax, waving them to hurry away.

After confirming that the gunpowder was in the house. Old Mrs. Jiang was no longer verbose, turned around and got into the carriage quickly, without the help of Peony at all.

The smell of gunpowder was not obvious, but it could be smelled in the market. It can be seen that the number is not small. Who is so stupid as to die? The Son of Heaven is so bold at his feet?

Could it be that it is the Lian family? If the Lian family really dies, will the Lian family be involved in it? Will the Lian family affect Cui'er's two children?

Old Lady Jiang was so anxious that she waited until she got out of this Siping Street to make sure that the guards couldn't see them. Old Mrs. Jiang immediately instructed the coachman: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

The carriage was galloping, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't wait to fly to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Possession of gunpowder is a serious crime and can be argued as a counter-conspiracy. She can't let Lian's drag down her two children. But when encountering such a big event, she still habitually went to the old lady.

The carriage entered through the side door of the Zhou Mansion, and the old lady Jiang was helped out of the carriage by Peony. She walked as usual, but she didn't rely on the support of the peony. Walking to the verandah, I happened to meet Zhou Dexin, the old housekeeper of the Zhou family. When he saw the old lady Jiang, he stepped forward to greet him familiarly: "Yo, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?" The old lady, the eldest young lady, the second young lady, and a few girls are talking in Jing Yaxuan. Shall I go in with you?"

Old Mrs. Jiang's steps forward suddenly stopped.

The old lady didn't like the younger generations of the Zhou family pestering her before! The only person she could talk to was Cui'er.

Now that Cui'er is gone, the old lady is surrounded by children and grandchildren, knowing that she can enjoy the joy of family!

Mrs. Jiang's nose suddenly became sore, and she trembled and held back the tears that were about to fall. Her eyes were blind from crying, and Cui'er couldn't come back. She had to protect those two children!

She said as calmly as possible: "I have something important to ask to see the prime minister today, so I won't disturb the old lady." I don't know if Xiangye can be in the mansion?" Zhou Dexin smiled: "That's not a coincidence, just a father-in-law came to pass the message, and the emperor wanted to summon Xiangye." I was about to go out at this time, so I went to order someone to prepare a sedan chair!"

Mrs. Jiang didn't know what to do, she didn't want to see the old lady, but this matter was urgent

After such a hesitation, Zhou Youxiang came over wearing the official uniform of a prime minister. Zhou Dexin hurriedly greeted him: "Xiangye, the sedan chair has been prepared, please come here." ”

But Zhou Youxiang saw Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Zhou didn't like to take care of children. The second and third brothers of the Zhou family were almost brought up by Mrs. Jiang, especially the third brother was raised by her. "Auntie is here, it's hot in the middle of summer, you have to take care of your body. Zhou Youxiang didn't dare to see Mrs. Jiang for a long time, and at this time he felt that this Mrs. Jiang, who made pastries, was getting older and older. The body is arched.

Old Lady Jiang took a deep breath and stabilized her figure: "Hua'er, Auntie has something important to tell you." Auntie knows that you are busy, so you find someone who can do things for me. This matter is important, and there is no delay. "It was originally called Zhou Shaoyang Xiangye, but at this time it is called Hua'er, and I think I have something to ask him.

If the ordinary capable person in the mansion is, of course, Zhou Dexin, but he is here, and Mrs. Jiang does not mention him. Zhou Youxiang knew that this matter was important: "There is a person named Zhou Lang, who is very proper. Coincidentally, her mother sent Jing Yaxuan for questioning. Zhou Dexin led the aunt in the past, but it was cheaper. ”

Zhou Lang is the apprentice of the head of the palace guards, and he can be regarded as one of Zhou Youxiang's henchmen. Mrs. Jiang had no better way, and she didn't want Zhou Dexin to lead the way, so she took the peony and went to Jing Yaxuan.

Jing Yaxuan is built on the lotus pond of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is indeed a good place to escape the heat in summer.

When Mrs. Jiang entered, a room full of people sat with staring eyes. Old Madam Zhou is obviously more mentally tough than Old Madam Jiang. She was dressed in a silver-white silk gown and wore her hair in her usual bun. The hairpin is also plain. But she was very energetic, and when she saw the old servant coming, she waved away all her daughters-in-law and granddaughters.

"But what's the matter?" The two used to be like sisters, and Old Madam Zhou naturally knew that Bai Yu would not come to see her if she had nothing to do at this time. Mrs. Jiang was not verbose, and directly said her findings and doubts: "I don't understand anything else, but Lian has to be saved." This matter can't be related to the Nie family!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou only pondered for a while and then said, "I know it's amazing." You can rest assured. She was not in a hurry, and ordered Zhou Lang to go to Siping Street to check. He said, "Wait for Hua'er to come back, and then discuss it together." If that's what you say, I suspect it's against Hua'er!"

The Lian family is the in-law of the Nie Mansion, and the Nie family is the maiden family of Mrs. Zhou. The eldest lord of the Lian family entered Beijing at this time, and the Lian family only sent a generous gift to the Zhou Mansion a few days ago. And the place where the gunpowder is hidden is on Siping Street, and the Jiang family is on the same street.

All kinds of clues point to the Zhou family!

Mrs. Jiang didn't understand this, she just felt that this matter was getting more and more complicated. Seeing Mrs. Zhou sitting as steady as Mount Tai, she suddenly stopped panicking. took a leisurely sip of tea and waited for Hua'er's return with Mrs. Zhou. Just like decades ago, Hua'er was chosen as the eldest prince, which is the companion of today's saints. When the day comes to return home, the young lady will sit in the yard and do nothing, just wait!

Hua'er is the only child that Miss loves!
