Xiao Qi showed a wry smile and sighed secretly, "It's okay." ”

Slowly stood up and walked forward lonely, not knowing where his destination was, this huge courtyard was a cage, and why not the soul.

Coming to a place where the west garden and the east courtyard meet, this is where the people of the palace live, there is no separate courtyard like their masters, and the rows of tiled houses are simply separated by white earthen walls.

The well-organized layout is awe-inspiring.

Xiao Qi stood at the door of Fan Wei's house and knocked on the door, but no one answered. Instead, a person flashed out from the side and said, "Back to Miss Seven, Deacon Fan Wei didn't come back."

"Oh"

When Xiao Qi heard this person, he first saw his outfit, which was the clothes of an ordinary steward of the Zhang family. There are not a thousand but hundreds of people in the Zhang family, even if they are ordinary stewards, there are dozens of them.

"If Miss Seven has anything to say, when Deacon Fan Wei comes to the mansion, I can help Miss Seven pass it on."

Xiao Qi only felt that this person had a good face, but he still didn't remember who this was in the house, and said politely: "No need." ”

A celebrity like Fan Wei has a place to live inside and outside the house, and it is common not to be in the house.

The ordinary steward said: "Recently, Deacon Fan Wei has not returned to the mansion for many days, and Miss Seven should not be surprised by the hard work of his life, Deacon Fan is probably performing some tasks outside."

Xiao Qi didn't mean to look at it anymore, but he didn't have a good impression of this sentence, so he asked this person, "Are you a new entrant?"

Although this person's words said that Fan Wei was busy, he wanted to make people think that Fan Wei was passive and slacking off.

"The villain was fortunate to see the true face of Miss Seventh when she left the house that day."

Xiao Qi thought for a while, "Are you Dai Jiang who blocked my way that day?" ”

"It's the villain."

Xiao Qi nodded, the good impression of that day made Xiao Qi have no doubts in his heart, maybe it was just that this Dai Jiang's nature was not like this, the so-called unintentional loss.

As for people, most of them believe in their first impression, and Xiao Qi is no exception.

Dai Jiang saw that for some reason his face suddenly softened, and then continued: "That villain is going to be busy with affairs first, so I will say goodbye to Miss here." ”

"Okay, Steward Dai, please."

Dai Jiang walked into the distance, proud in his heart, he didn't expect to fish in troubled waters today in exchange for the favor of this seventh lady.

Although not many people pay attention to this mysterious seventh lady in the mansion, thinking that she is a young lady with a declining status, but he does not think that ordinary people think that after inquiring in the mansion that day, the subordinates who usually have some relationship with this young lady were all transferred out of the mansion not long ago.

In addition, the news came from the friends outside that this Seventh Miss had been favored by the King of Huinan.

Although he climbed up to that nobleman, wouldn't it be good to have another way back in his current form.

Xiao Qi originally wanted Fan Wei to help check the newly opened pastry shop again, but now it seems that Fan Wei is still busy with his own affairs.

When he was about to go back, he saw Mo Chenghong walking over with two pots of wine.

"Uncle Mo is looking for Uncle Fan?"

Mo Chenghong smiled and casually put the wine jug in front of the courtyard gate, "It seems that Senior Brother Fan is not here, so it's okay." ”

Xiao Qi thought about it seriously, and then said, "I don't know if Uncle Mo can do me a favor." ”

The person in front of her was the person in front of the Zhang family who was the most sensitive to information, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to investigate Xiao Qi's parents at that time.

"What's the busy?"

......

Back in the courtyard, Liu Yunhua was no longer studying with a few little girls, and Xiao Qi said jokingly: "If I am gone, except for Sister Ting, you will be very harmonious with my fifth sister." ”

Xue Yi's face turned red and put the book aside, she was really embarrassed to join in the fun.

Ting'er also said, "Is there anything Miss Seven ordered?" ”

Because of Zhang Li's relationship, Ting'er also knows Xiao Qi's nature, and she has never embarrassed herself, but her identity is not as noble as Qianzhi, and she doesn't dare to make any jokes with Xiao Qi.

It's like a self-acquaintance, she didn't take Xiao Qi's jokes to heart, and still looked at her travelogue.

"It's nothing, it's just to see if you have studied the classics of the sages well."

"Miss Seven is making fun of me, what kind of sage book is this, doesn't Miss Seven still want me to go and make a name for myself back?"

"That's not it, with Sister Ting'er's intelligence, don't say anything famous, even if it's a top score."

Ting'er, who was a little embarrassed to be ridiculed by Xiao Qi, also said a few words along with Xiao Qi's words, but it was very embarrassing to be retorted by Xiao Qi, what she read was a sage book like Miss Five, just some words in Beijing.

Ting'er's face turned crimson, and she said bitterly: "Miss..."

"Where's Aunt Liu?"

"Aunt Liu said she was sleepy, so she went back to sleep."

Xiao Qi nodded and said mischievously: "Then don't disturb Sister Ting'er's reading." ”

Turning around and coming to Liu Yunhua's house, what is quite rare is that Liu Yunhua did not take a break, but sat there, drinking boiled water leisurely, and did not feel much surprised to see Xiao Qi come in.

"Sit down."

Xiao Qi has been at the mercy of others these days, as if he was used to it, and asked: "Aunt Liu also guessed that I would come over"

"Nope."

"That's a little strange, shouldn't Aunt Liu take a lunch break at this point?"

"You also know I'm going to take a lunch break, and I didn't break in."

"I just came over to see if Aunt Liu didn't cover the quilt, the weather has been getting cooler recently, if Aunt Liu is sick, wouldn't it be my niece who is not doing things well?"

"Don't play tricks with me, I don't know who I learned it from."

Seeing Xiao Qi staring at him, Liu Yunhua also smiled, "If I am not by your side one day, don't tell others that this scoundrel is a master of me." ”

"How could it be, Aunt Liu is wise and martial, how could she teach me to do these things."

"Come on, I want to say something, I'm going to sleep after that."

"Someone is trying to kill me."

Liu Yunhua put down the teacup in his hand, "Sit down." ”

"Oh."

Xiao Qi sat opposite Liu Yunhua and brought himself a glass of water, "Why is it cold?" ”

"Or else?"

"Aunt Liu, will you give me a way?"

Liu Yunhua closed his eyes and pondered, "You, do you know the details of the other party?" ”

Xiao Qi shook his head, "I just know that those two hairpins caused me trouble." ”

"The person who assassinated the palace, it seems that this person is very powerful."

Liu Yunhua made up a glass of water for himself, "Your grandfather should know about this, right?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't speak, Liu Yunhua then said: "Usually this kind of thing, you are the first to discuss with Fan Wei, and now you come over and tell me, it seems that Fan Wei has already gone to investigate, right?" ”

"It's worthy of Aunt Liu, it's really insightful."

"That's okay, with Xue Yi here, no one will be able to touch you."

"Aunt Liu, don't say it so easily, this is the first time I've been remembered by people in the rivers and lakes."

Liu Yunhua glanced at Xiao Qi without surprise, "Okay, you don't want to get involved in this matter, don't leave the house recently." ”

Xiao Qi said tiredly: "Aunt Liu." ”

"Don't worry about the new pastry shop, I know you're looking for someone to investigate this."

"Why?"

"Xiao Qi, don't pursue the matter of my sister and brother-in-law, I think Huinan Wangfu is a good in-law."

"Aunt Liu, what did you say?"

"Hey, Xiao Qi, whether they are alive or gone, I think their greatest wish is that you can be well."

"Aunt Liu, are you touching my money again?"

Liu Yunhua was stunned when asked by Xiao Qi, looked at Xiao Qi's eyes that had recently become a little red due to exhaustion, and said helplessly: "Hey, it's just a loss." ”

"I can't do this in the future, I'll go first."

Xiao Qi walked out of the door, stopped Liu Yunhua from talking further, and sighed with a smile: "The year is not going well." ”

.....

The noble man who said that he was going to come to Zhang's Mansion finally arrived, but the scene was very small, only Zhang Hai and Zhang Yeran came forward and received them with several stewards in the family, and there was no wave in Zhang's house.

It wasn't until many subordinates cleaned up the adjacent yard not far from Xiao Qi that they attracted Xiao Qi's attention.

"Miss, what are you doing here?"

The curious Xiao Qi pulled out a not very long ladder from a corner in the courtyard, put it on the courtyard wall, followed the ladder, and looked over the courtyard wall to see which busy figures were not far away.

"Miss, isn't it a little unsightly for you to be like this?"

Xue Yi looked at it with some worry below, and Ting'er was also anxious, but Ting'er was worried about whether Xiao Qi would fall.

"Miss Seven, come down quickly, it's dangerous up there."

The words of a few people outside made Liu Yunhua also come out curiously and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Aunt Liu, hurry up and persuade Miss Seven, how dangerous it is like this."

Who knew that Liu Yunhua didn't dissuade him, but said to Xiao Qi: "You make a place for me, and I'll take a look." ”

Xiao Qi was very obedient, ran from the ladder to the wall again, and straddled there like a horse, and then Liu Yunhua also ran to the top, just sitting there sideways, and Xiao Qi watched the servants carrying things.

"Aunt Liu, who did you say was coming?"

"Cute girl."

Liu Yunhua looked at it a few times and felt that it was not interesting, jumped up, fell down in Ting'er's astonishment, yawned, and went into the house again.

Leaving Xiao Qi alone, he was still there.

"Miss, come down quickly, I feel a little embarrassed to let others see you like this."

Under the different words of Xue Yi and Ting'er, they wanted to go down, Ting'er hurriedly ran over and held the ladder for Xiao Qi, afraid that Xiao Qi would have an accident.

"Miss Seven, I want to tell the eldest lady about your incident today."

Xiao Qi just climbed a wall, which made Ting'er worry like this, looking at Ting'er's face that turned red because of excitement, if she knew that she was now facing the assassination of this Jianghu person, wouldn't it...

Xiao Qi thought about it with some bad taste, and then said to Ting'er: "Sister Ting'er, you go and inquire about who it is." ”
