"Oops, it's Sister-in-law Lou here!" Wang Xifeng left Jia Chen, twisted his hips and swung his hips towards Lou Shi.

Lou is the granddaughter-in-law of Jia's mother's brother-in-law, and her kinship with Jia's mother is closer than Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law, You Shi.

Lou often participates in Jia's mother's banquets, she has a cool temperament, can speak well, is quite liked by Jia's mother, usually has a lot of contacts, has eyes, and knows how to stutter.

Among the daughters-in-law of the Jia family, Jia Qin's mother Zhou and Grandma Huang all revolve around You and Wang Xifeng, but Lou revolves around Jia's mother, which shows that the relationship between this person and Jia's mother is very unusual.

Wang Xifeng is an eight-faced, sleek and sophisticated person, accustomed to climbing high and stepping on the bottom, Lou's family is quite popular with Jia's mother and the elders of Rongfu, Wang Xifeng naturally does not dare to offend her.

Lou's often sent food to Jia Chen, and Jia Chen was gracious, Jia Chen was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and hurriedly saluted Lou's family: "I've seen Lou's sister-in-law." ”

Lou Shi glanced at the peanut crisp held by Wang Xifeng, and quipped:

"Feng Lazi, you will take this plate of peanut cake to send our Jiachen brothers?"

She deliberately raised the volume of the words "our family" a little.

Wang Xifeng was so shrewd, he noticed Lou's extraneous voice when he landed, and said with a smile:

"Brother Chen is my own family, I'm not worried that he is hungry, so I want to give him a plate of peanut crisp to pad his stomach first."

Lou sneered with a smile:

"Brother Chen, let's go quickly, you didn't look at Feng Lazi's picking, there are so many good almond crisps and sesame crisps, I just give you a plate of cheap peanut crisps."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly put down the peanut crisp, climbed Lou's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Oh, where is Sister-in-law Lou talking about? How dare I chill my brother? Who doesn't know that Brother Chen is like a brother and sister to you? Okay, okay, sister-in-law Lou, you dissipate your anger, I can't compensate you for this sloppy scumbag who has no way to talk. ”

Wang Xifeng was not willing to bow down in front of Lou's family, but for the sake of Jia's mother's face, he was worried that Lou's would shake his lips in front of Jia's mother, tell right and wrong, and say bad things about her.

If Mother Jia was angry and took away her housekeeping power, then she would not be able to give orders in the Rong Mansion, and she would not be able to fill her private pockets, damage the public and private interests, and use the money in the public to make money and earn interest.

Lou Shi accepted it when he saw it, and said with a smile:

"I'm joking with you, are you still serious, but you are still sloppy? Your aunt plucked a hair, thicker than my waist, you hurry up, don't delay Brother Rong'er's business. ”

Wang Xifeng smiled and said:

"Okay, sister-in-law Lou, you take Brother Chen to sit down and drink tea, you can eat whatever you want, don't go outside."

As she spoke, she instructed a maid beside her:

"Hurry up and serve tea to Sister-in-law Lou and Brother Chen, so that they can be served."

After speaking, he twisted his buttocks, walked to the middle of the maid and the maid step by step, and continued to command, shouting five drinks and six places to hold a wedding banquet.

Lou greeted Jia Chen with a smile:

"Brother Chen, the banquet hasn't opened yet, let's go take a walk in the garden outside."

If it was in normal times, Jia Chen would have agreed, but today there were assassins in ambush in the shadows, and he could attack him at any time, and he didn't want to involve the Lou family.

"Sister-in-law Lou, I'm going to the thatched house, I can't accompany you, please bear with me!" Jia Chen casually lied, then turned around and walked away.

The area of Ningguo Mansion is very large, behind the three hugging houses and five main halls, there are also Huifang Garden, Dengxian Pavilion, Funny Bee Xuan and Tianxiang Building.

In fact, starting from Huifang Garden, these buildings in the back belong to the inner house, which is the area where the ladies of Ningguo Mansion live, and foreign men are not allowed to enter.

On the west side of the five main halls, there is a cong green hall, which is the garden where Jia Zhen's father and son usually eat, drink and have fun with their daughters.

There are many guests today, and the space in the front yard is limited, so I had to open the doors of Cong Lu Hall and Huifang Garden, which are mainly used to entertain the old relatives of the four major families of Jia Wang Shi Xue.

Jia Chen estimated that the assassins arranged by Jia Zhen must have been ambushed in a secluded and uninhabited place, and there were many people in the front yard, and there were many rockeries and strange rocks, flowers and trees, lakes and reeds in the courtyard of Huifang Garden, which was a good place to hide people.

"These assassins must want to take advantage of my loneliness, in that case, then I will go to find them, solve them all, and leave only one alive to testify against Jia Zhen, the mastermind behind the scenes."

Jia Chen's plan has been decided, and he walked around the five main halls, all the way to the north, through a hanging flower gate, and entered the Huifang Garden.

The yellow flowers in the garden are all over the ground, and the white willows are on the slope. The small bridge leads to the stream of Ruoye, and the winding path leads to the road to the rooftop.

The clear stream between the rockeries is turbulent, and the fence near the lake is fragrant. The red leaves of the trees are turning, and the sparse forest is picturesque.

Looking at the southeast in the distance, build a few pavilions by the mountains. Throughout the northwest, there are several waterfront pavilions.

This beautiful scenery is not inferior to Rongguo Mansion in any way.

Jia Chen clenched his long sword and walked into a dense pear forest.

At this time, it is the season when the pear blossoms are in full bloom, and from a distance, the clusters of snow-white pear blossoms, like clouds and clouds, are scattered and fluttering.

In the field of vision, a large number of pear blossoms spread out like clouds and brocade, in the warm spring light, such as snow and jade, white and bright, brilliant and crystalline.

The air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel like they are drunk with alcohol, light and dizzy.

Jia Chen had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery in front of him, and in this sea of flowers, it was likely that there was a deadly killing intention.

Tightening the long sword in his hand, Jia Chen walked step by step to the depths of the pear forest.

There are scattered branches and leaves on the ground in previous years, and a thick layer is laid, and every step down, you will step on the dead branches and rotten leaves, and the footsteps of "crackling and crackling" sound.

The forest was very quiet, except for the occasional bird call or two.

Suddenly, a sparrow fluttered its wings and flew into the air from a pear tree a few paces away.

Is there a situation?

Jia Chen looked fixedly, and suddenly, a burst of wind fell from the sky.

Not good!

There is an ambush!

Between the lightning and flint, Jia Chen drew his sword and blocked upward.

"Bell!"

With a crisp sound, a strong force followed the blade of the sword and surged all over the body.

Rao is Jia Chen's strength is amazing, and he was also hit by this brutal blow, bowing slightly, and both soles fell into dead branches and leaves.

"Huh?" A startling sound sounded overhead, and then a figure turned a somersault, landed five steps away, and stood facing Jia Chen.

Jia Chen crossed his sword to his chest and looked ahead.

The man covered his mouth and nose with a black cloth, wore a tight black suit, and held a handguard wolf tooth knife.

The back of the knife is shaped like a wolf's tooth and the back of the knife is straight but not curved, and there is a crescent scimitar handguard at the hilt.

The masked man sneered:

"You little doll, your strength is not small, you can still stand firm with a knife from me, it's incredible, if someone didn't let me take your life, I would be reluctant to kill you, a good seedling who practices martial arts."

Jia Chen's face did not change, and he asked coldly: "Say!" By whom are you directed? ”
