No matter how difficult the road ahead was, Mrs. Zhou, as Wenxuan's closest living relative, agreed to raise him by Lan Yi's side, and Lan Yi felt very happy.

So she was happy all day long, and she accompanied her two children to feed the koi in the garden with a smile.

Mrs. Zhou punished a few disobedient slaves and maids yesterday, and today I saw one or two little maids in the garden who were very respectful to Wen Xuan, saluting and shouting "Young Master", Wen Xuan is now also used to it, according to Wang Chengde's teaching, just nodded, and became more and more of a young master.

Yesterday, everyone knew about Lan Yi throwing her mother-in-law into the water with a wave of her hand, and now they can't wait to take a detour when they see her coming over with their children. Lan Yi was still smiling, feeling that the garden was full of autumn and the air was solemn, it was really high and refreshing, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Mother, look at it, isn't this fish the biggest?" Yu'er grabbed the railing and pointed to a big red and black koi in the water and asked.

Wen Xuan also leaned into the water and looked into the water, "Brother, which one?" ”

Lan Yi stepped forward to hold them down, afraid that the two children would accidentally fall into the water, "This red and black one looks not small, maybe there are bigger ones in the water." Yu'er, Wenxuan, you spread the snacks a little, and when the fish all come up to eat, let's look carefully. ”

The two little guys listened and crushed the peach cake and threw it into the distance, and sure enough, the fish divided the snack into several piles, so that they could check some of them.

"Mother, this, bigger." Wen Xuan anxiously pointed to a fish and shouted, the fish was not afraid of sound, and still opened its mouth leisurely to eat.

Lan Yi nodded, sure enough, the red and white ones were bigger. Yu'er looked at so many fish and remembered the taste of the sauerkraut fish she ate last year, "Mother, let's catch two to make sauerkraut fish soup, shall we?" ”

Speaking of sauerkraut fish, Lan Yi thought of the cabbage and radish planted in the slope and had not had time to take it back, and now that the white dew has passed, the cabbage should be harvested in half a month, and I don't know if I can rush back to collect the cabbage and make it into sauerkraut.

Originally, now should be the busiest time, fertilizing peonies and removing leaves, harvesting rice, plowing the land and sowing seeds, etc., she is used to such a busy life, she is not used to being idle here like this, and wants to go back.

However, can koi fish be made and eaten? It is said that koi fish is a carp and should be able to eat, but this kind of fish is expensive, and it is estimated that ordinary people are reluctant to kill it to eat.

"Yu'er, this fish is carp, carp has many spines, sauerkraut fish is more delicious with grass carp and catfish, let's buy some sauerkraut to eat in a few days."

A little girl came over next to her and sneered: "Chun Peach, the bun pleats haven't been pinched yet, so you want to make sauerkraut fish?" ”

Lan Yi raised her eyes and saw that it was Xia Jiao, who laughed at herself in the garden yesterday for being a mother, she and Chun Tao, Qiu Yu, and Dong Nuan were all born to the Wang family, and they grew up together since childhood, and they were the maids next to the four Wang Mingzhe brothers. Lan Yi heard what the Zheng family said, this Xia Jiao had a bad relationship with Chun Tao, and Lan Yi didn't like it when she looked at her now.

"Yu'er, take your brother well, don't lean out." Lan Yi instructed the two children before greeting Xia Jiao, who was wearing a cyan skirt, "Xia Jiao, why are you not waiting by the second lady's side, what are you doing in the garden?" ”

After Tian married Wang Mingli, Xia Jiao, as the maid beside him, was naturally managed by Tian, and I heard that Tian didn't like Xia Jiao, so he tossed her a lot.

Sure enough, hearing Lan Yi's question, the smile on Xia Jiao's face faded a lot, but she still said affectionately, "The second lady is asleep, and the little maids are waiting, so I'll go around the garden." Chun Tao, our sisters haven't spoken well in the past few days since you came back, your face is black and yellow, how have you spent the past two years, is it really farming in the countryside? ”

Lan Yi saw her uncertain eyes, and knew that she didn't care about herself but wanted to find out the news, and she smiled: "Isn't it." How can you have Xia Jiao, you have a good life, and you look a lot more beautiful than two years ago. ”

Xia Jiao immediately smiled sincerely when she heard it, she liked to hear people praise her for her good looks. "I still have two boxes of good rouge there, let's go and sit down with me, and I'll get you a box."

Lan Yi shook her head and refused, "The second lady is asleep, and I still have two children with me, so I won't bother." ”

Xia Jiao showed off her intentions, "It won't affect Madame's rest, my room is on the edge of the second master's study, far away from Madame's room." ”

Lan Yi deliberately showed an expression of surprise and envy, "Xia Jiao, I thought that after the second master got married, you would be served by the second lady's side, but I didn't expect you to be able to follow the second master, the second master is really good to you." ”

Xia Jiao showed a little shyness and gently pushed Lan Yi's shoulder, "What nonsense, I was originally to serve the second master, and the second master stayed in the study for a long time, how could there be no one around to serve me." ”

Wang Mingli stays in the study?

"The second master is still working so hard, he doesn't rest early at night."

Xia Jiao showed a proud expression, "The second master has always been like this, no matter how busy the business is, you have to find time to read books, and the second master will definitely be able to go to high school next time." ”

Lan Yi asked curiously: "The second master still wants to participate in the autumn festival, if he wins, he will be the master, is it possible that the second master doesn't want to take care of the family's business and wants to be an official?" How can it be done, now the Wang family's business is pointing to the second master. ”

Xia Jiao leaned at Lan Yi, feeling that she was very uninformed, "The bigger the business, isn't it still a businessman?" Being able to raise people to be officials in the examination is the right way. ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty did not emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce like the Tang Dynasty, and it can even be said that it encouraged the development of commerce, and the status of merchants has been much better, and they can participate in the imperial examination, but after all, the atmosphere is different, and the children of the merchants generally go to participate in the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, Wang Mingli was already a talent, and now he had to go to the township test, Lan Yi looked at Xia Jiao, and said with a pretended longing: "The second master is good at reading, and now he is the son-in-law of the county magistrate, and he has to be taken care of and guided by his father-in-law, and it is not difficult to raise people in the exam." ”

Xia Jiao snorted coldly, "The second master relies on real kung fu, what does it have to do with whether he is the son-in-law of the county or not." ”

Lan Yi also said enviously, "That's for sure, isn't the second master just because of his outstanding character and knowledge that he was favored by the girl from the county master's family, the second master can marry the second lady, the two of them are really a talented and beautiful couple." ”

Xia Jiao's facial expression was complicated, she seemed to be distressed, but she seemed to be angry and disdainful, but she turned to say: "If you talk about the appearance of a talented woman, the uncle and the eldest lady are not a pair that everyone envies, but it's a pity...... Fortunately, there is still a second master, otherwise it is difficult to say how our Wang family will support it. ”

Lan Yi nodded, looked at Wen Xuan and said sadly: "No, if there is no second master to take care of it, Young Master Wen Xuan doesn't know what to do." ”

Xia Jiao said very righteously: "What's this, the second master is kind-hearted, and he knows that the old lady is too weak to take care of Young Master Wen Xuan, so the second master told me that he would go and talk to the elders of the clan and take Young Master Wen Xuan with him to take care of it." ”

This tone, as if she and the second master are husband and wife.

Lan Yi listened to Mrs. Zhou, now their branch is the dominant one in the Wang family, Wang Mingli went to say that the clan told the elders to raise Wenxuan, but it was just a ward, the current patriarch of the Wang family is not from their branch, I heard that Wang Mingli wants to compete for the next patriarch, and his voice in the clan is not low.

"Okay, Chun Tao, tell me how you've spent more than a year, I'm curious." Xia Jiao reacted, she was looking for Chun Tao to inquire about the news, how could she talk about the second room.

Lan Yi said apologetically: "Xia Jiao, it's not early today, I have to take the two children back to dinner, let's talk next time." Yu'er, Wenxuan, let's go back, the old lady is still waiting. ”

Watching her take her two children back to Mrs. Zhou's residence, Xia Jiao tore the handkerchief in her hand vigorously, this girl is still as tight as before, didn't the second master say that she has amnesia, why is it still so difficult to deal with, unlikable!

I really don't know how to go back and explain to the second master, Xia Jiao stomped her feet, twisted her body and walked back. Suddenly remembered something, and shouted at Chun Tao again: "By the way, you haven't seen Wang Shaoyan when you come back, right?" He's been asking around for more than a year. ”

Lan Yi nodded, Chuntao's neighbor Wang Shaoyan, who had grown up together, hadn't seen her yet. The two families lived so close that he must have known that he was back, but he didn't see him every night when he went back.

However, he was not Chun Tao, and he didn't have any feelings for Wang Shaoyan, listening to Xia Jiao's meaningful shout, Lan Yi only nodded calmly, and went back with the two children.

That night, Wang Chengde of the Zheng family returned home with Lan Yi's mother and son, and Lan Yi couldn't wait to ask about the Lan family.

Wang Chunrong said: "The night my little sister came back, didn't she live in the county office. At that time, the black shadow had some whereabouts, I asked around, and someone saw Lan Wu's side of Lan Siye walking around the county office that night, and Lan Wu's height characteristics were similar to Brother Tuesday's, I asked Brother Tuesday to identify it yesterday, and he said that most of the black shadows that night might be Blue Five. ”

The little guy next to Lan Junchen, what is he going to do? Lan Yi frowned, remembering what she had asked her sixth son to inquire about, after Wang Mingzhe died, Lan Junchen and Zhang Pingyu, who had a good relationship, also became estranged, could there be any connection here?

"Dad, aren't you going to take Wenxuan to Zhang's Mansion to visit Zhang Pingyu in a few days, you can ask him then, what do I think he should know."

Wang Chengde nodded, he was planning to do so.

Lan Yi remembered what Wang Chengde said in front of Mrs. Zhou during the day, and wanted to ask who the man in their photo was. However, seeing Dao Wufeng, who was sitting silently next to her with her eyes closed, she swallowed back her speech, and continued: "Brother Tuesday once said that there was no murderous aura on that black shadow, if it was really Lan Wu and not someone sent by Wang Mingli, I think the danger is much less, and there is no need to guard against it day and night." ”

Wang Chengde disagreed, his face became more solemn, "The Lan family is not as simple as it seems, if the black shadow is really the Lan family, it will be more troublesome." ”

Zheng reminded: "It's not early, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, Wufeng, have a good rest today, I came to guard in the first half of the night, and Chunrong was there in the second half of the night. You've been tired in the royal courtyard these days. ”

Dao Wufeng nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The Wang family's family Ding Nursing Courtyard Kung Fu can only be said to be sparse, but the one named Wang Chengye next to Wang Mingli is not weak. ”

Wang Chengde glanced at his son in surprise, "Wufeng, did you recognize the wrong person?" Wang Chengye doesn't know kung fu. ”

Dao Wufeng shook his head slightly, "That's not wrong. I heard others call him that, although he pretended to have heavy steps, he was actually very good at kung fu, and his breathing was different from others. ”

Wang Chengde came down strictly, Wang Chengye was about the same age as him, he didn't practice martial arts Wang Chengde naturally knew, but now Dao Wufeng said that his kung fu was not low, what was the reason?

"Well, I'll find someone to check on Wang Chengye tomorrow to see what he has to do with the current matter." If he really knows martial arts, there are only two possibilities, one is that he learned it secretly, and the other is that he is not Wang Chengye.

Wang Chengye's loyalty to Wang Mingli is the same as his loyalty to Wang Mingzhe, he was transferred back from Zhuangzi by the old lady of the second room after the death of the second master, and he specially served Wang Mingli. Wang Mingli trusts him very much, if the Wang family is a night detective, then what is he going to do?

No, Wang Chengye is about the same height as Wang Chunrong, and he can't be a night detective, but he has an accomplice. R1152
