After a while, Chu Xiaoran saw this Zeng San girl.

This Zeng San girl has a goose egg face, danfeng eyes, and crescent moon eyebrows, even if she is a concubine, she is not badly dressed, at least much better than Chu Xiaoran.

In every gesture, she is more like a lady than Zeng Jiayi.

With just one glance, Chu Xiaoran came to a conclusion: Aunt Liu is not simple, she can raise such an outstanding daughter, and the Zeng family is actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!

"Three girls."

"Miss Xiaoran."

After greeting each other, the two went to the wooden table under the vines and recited refreshments, mung bean cake and sweet and sour plum juice.

Zeng San took a sip of sour plum juice and frowned slightly: "Nianshuang, Miss Xiaoran is a distinguished guest in the house, how can you take such a unpalatable sour plum juice to entertain guests, this is how the eldest lady explained to you?" ”

Nian Shuang glanced at the third girl Zeng in surprise, and quickly lowered her head: "Back to the third girl, this sour plum juice was made by the eldest lady herself this summer, and she specially asked the slave maid to bring it." ”

"The eldest lady is an authentic Changzhou native (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), basically everyone can make sour plum juice in Changzhou, the sour plum juice made by the eldest lady can't be so unpleasant, you Diao slave, did you hide the sour plum juice brewed by the eldest lady and drink it yourself?"

Nianshuang shook his head, with stubbornness in his eyes: "Third girl, the slave maid has never done such a thing, if you don't believe it, you can go to the slave maid's residence to search." ”

"If you drink this thing, how can you find it?"

When the third girl Zeng said this, she suddenly said to Chu Xiaoran: "Miss Xiaoran, you don't know how to divination, or you can count it, where is the sour plum juice made by the eldest lady hidden by this slave." ”

Chu Xiaoran didn't answer.

She was thinking about what Miss Zeng San said, and she always felt that she was hinting at something to herself.

The girl shouted that the sour plum juice was unpalatable, and drank it cup after cup, Chu Xiaoran couldn't understand for a while, what was she hinting at herself.

Seeing that Chu Xiaoran didn't speak, Nian Shuang actually bowed to Chu Xiaoran Yingying and said, "Please also ask Miss Xiaoran to make a hexagram and return the innocence of the slave." ”

"No need for divination, you didn't steal sour plum juice."

Nian Shuang was very grateful and thanked Chu Xiaoran repeatedly.

Zeng San girl snorted and stood up: "I thought I had some ability, but I didn't expect it to be a god stick who cheated on eating and drinking, just like you, people can't stop it, and you still want to catch some ghosts, naïve!" ”

After speaking, he didn't salute Chu Xiaoran and said goodbye, and took her maid away.

It came very suddenly, and it left very suddenly.

Zeng San girl, giving people the feeling of being a spoiled and unruly girl in the landlord's family.

But Chu Xiaoran looked at this Zeng San girl who came suddenly, she deliberately looked at her face, she was a smart and clever woman full of wisdom.

Such a person, unless intentionally.

Otherwise, she would not deliberately embarrass the maid in her house in front of an outsider, and expose her shortcomings in front of outsiders.

Nianshuang is not an ordinary maid, but one of the four maids who are the most face-saving in front of Mrs. Zeng.

Chu Xiaoran sat there, carefully thinking about every word that Zeng San said after she sat down.

What she said seemed to revolve around Mrs. Zeng, sour plum juice, and other than that, she didn't mention anything else, what did she want to hint at her?

By the way, she also said that Mrs. Zeng is from Cheung Chau.

What is the special meaning of the three girls specifically mentioning Cheung Chau?

After thinking about it all morning, Chu Xiaoran didn't come up with a clue.

At noon, Chu Xiaoran was ready to take a lunch break to sleep, but he didn't expect Nianshuang to bring a meal.

"Huh? Zeng Mansion has food at noon? ”

Nian Shuang said with a smile: "Miss Xiaoran said that she was not joking, since the slave maid entered the mansion, the mansion has three meals a day, and you are a distinguished guest in the mansion, how can you have no food." ”

Chu Xiaoran: "......"

She always thought that the Song Dynasty did not have three meals a day at this time, after all, when she first crossed over, the Chu family had two meals a day.

From Yun Xiang's mouth, I learned that the Chu family also had two meals a day before.

But Zeng Mansion has always been three meals a day.

This, this, this......

Thinking that the Chu family may be because they are poor, or it is possible that the ancestors and their ancestors are deducting the second room, and they only give two meals a day.

Father Chu's aunt raised her, and the treatment always refreshed Chu Xiaoran's three views again and again.

I couldn't help but feel more and more disgusted with the Chu family who were far away in Kaifeng.

The meal was hearty, with roast chicken, roast lamb, steamed fish, and two vegetarian dishes.

Chu Xiaoran ate half of it, and suddenly thought of what Zeng San said and began to chat with Nianshuang without a trace.

"Nianshuang, when did you just say you came to Zeng's Mansion?"

"Back to Miss Xiaoran, the slave maid came to the house four years ago."

Four years ago, four years ago.

Chu Xiaoran found that four years ago was a very important node.

"You are the eldest maid in the house, and I originally thought you were the dowry maid brought by Mrs. Zeng from Cheung Chau."

Nian Shuang pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss Xiaoran, the slave maid is only seventeen years old this year, how can she be Madame's dowry maid." Several of the lady's dowry maids got married, and some were dismissed from the house. ”

"In other words, the four of you came to Zengfu later?"

"Well, we were all bought into the house by Mrs. together four years ago, and the old man next to Mrs. is only one Chang Mother left."

After lunch, Chu Xiaoran went out of the yard under the scorching sun.

Walking around the house at will, in fact, I wanted to meet the only old man in the house who served Mrs. Zeng, Chang's mother.

Chu Xiaoran was lucky, as soon as he walked to the gate of the main courtyard, he saw Chang's mother come out.

"Miss Xiaoran, are you here to find the eldest lady?"

Chu Xiaoran smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm here to look for you, I don't know if it's convenient for Mother Chang to talk to me?" ”

Chang's mother looked obviously stunned.

Then he said: "The old woman is a servant, what can I say to you." ”

"Mother Chang is humble when she says this, in this house, you are an old qualification, and you must know more about the big and small things in the house than others, I don't ask who you ask!"

Chang's mother looked solemn.

"It's an honor for the old woman to take a fancy to me, I don't know what you want to ask?"

"I ask a lot of things, it's noon, it's weirdly hot, why don't you go to the yard where I live temporarily and sit and talk?"

Mother Chang didn't say anything, and followed Chu Xiaoran to the yard.

Chu Xiaoran asked, and Chang's mother replied.

Chu Xiaoran didn't find anything wrong.

Is it because you are thinking too much?

Zeng San, girl, just said casually, would she be wrong to be amorous?

Chu Xiaoran immediately vetoed his own idea, a person's face, in most cases, will not deceive people.

Chu Xiaoran also believes in his own Taoism and will not look away.

Since this Chang's mother couldn't ask anything, she went to find someone who was willing to talk to her.

Isn't Zeng Jiayi very interested in catching ghosts, then she is.
