"Girl, girl!"

Chu Jiu hurriedly ran over, and as soon as he rushed through the door, he found that Aunt Qing was also here, and the two were having dinner. She hurriedly stopped her voice and swallowed back the words that had almost come out of her baldness. She immediately stood up and saluted Aunt Qing.

Seeing her so flustered, Zhou Zhenzhen quickly knew what she meant.

She put down her chopsticks and admonished her subordinates as she normally would.

"On the ninth day of the first month, you can't go fast in the General's Mansion, it's really getting more and more unruly."

Chu Jiu bent down and confessed: "What the girl taught me is that it was the slave who was reckless." ”

Zhou Zhenzhen nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "What do you want?" ”

Chu Jiu was a quick responder, and immediately organized a language answer: "The building has taken in a lot of people, and the eleventh sister is really too busy to ask the girl to go back to preside over the overall situation." ”

"yes, we haven't had a new person in the building for a long time."

Zhou Zhenzhen pretended to be happy, she turned her head to look at Aunt Qing who was immersed in eating on the side, and said softly: "Aunt Qing, I will go back to Jinyulou with Eleven in a while, you don't have to wait for me to rest first." ”

Aunt Qing slowly raised her head, barely squeezed out a smile and nodded stiffly.

"You have a good rest, don't walk around when it's too late, I don't have anything to do in the house, you can look for the ninth day."

She glanced up at Chu Jiu, and Chu Jiu said to Aunt Qing, "Aunt Qing, if there is anything, the slave maid of your ward can do it with one sound." ”

Aunt Qing nodded again. Seeing Zhou Zhenzhen get up, she subconsciously grabbed her sleeve and gestured with her hand. Fortunately, Zhou Zhenzhen has learned sign language, and she can understand these gestures.

"Aunt Qing, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

She patted the back of Aunt Qing's hand as if comforting, and then turned around and left without any further delay. Chu Jiu hurriedly followed.

……

"What the hell is going on? Let Eleven risk spreading the news into the General's Mansion so late? ”

"Landlord, Sister Eleven said that there is news of Banxian! I just don't know if it's true or not. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Because the news came out near the Black Fog Mountain. The intelligence said that when the villagers at the foot of the Black Fog Mountain went up the mountain to hunt, they saw many people coming in and out of a long-abandoned cottage. They were curious to take a closer look, and all the sinners inside were supposed to be sent out of Beijing. The eleventh sister also found out that these people were supposed to be executed, but I don't know who left their lives and trapped them in the stockade. ”

"So Half String is there too?"

Chu Jiu nodded, "Sister Eleven said the same thing." Landlord, I'm really worried, you just let me follow Sister Eleven to the Black Fog Mountain. ”

Zhou Zhenzhen stopped, turned to look at Chu Jiu, who was anxious and had red eyes, and immediately dismissed, "I know that you are worried about Banxian's safety, just let Eleven arrange this matter, she will definitely bring Banxian back safely." Now the time is not ripe, we can't leave the General's Mansion. ”

"What then? If we can't do without the General's Mansion, how can we check that batch of official silver? ”

"Yes, if you can't leave here, how can you check the batch of official silver that has lost a trace halfway?" Zhou Zhenzhen muttered, and finally made up her mind: "So we have to wait for a good time to make a move for the golden cicada to come out of its shell." ”

Chu Jiu was puzzled: "What does the landlord mean when he says good time?" ”

Zhou Zhenzhen's eyes were fixed, and her eyes converged in the direction of the gate of the General's Mansion.

"Spring Festival Temple Fair."

……

The next day, the General's Mansion was lit up, and officials came and went to celebrate one after another, almost breaking the threshold.

Zhou Zhenzhen helped Aunt Qing out of the room, and saw people all over the garden in a dozen eyes. She hadn't seen such a lively scene in years.

Looking back on the past, it was the same when I was in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Those officials all regarded their Hou Mansion as a big tree to rely on, but no one was willing to lend a hand on the day Jinling City broke.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhenzhen couldn't help but sneer, secretly slandered in her heart, and shook her head helplessly.

Aunt Qing on the side noticed Zhou Zhenzhen's small movements, raised her eyes and glanced at her, gently tugged at her sleeve, and then pointed in the direction of the front hall.

Zhou Zhenzhen smiled and said, "You want to go to the front hall?" ”

Aunt Qing nodded and gestured with her hand.

"Okay, I'll take you to the Mistress Lady."

After that, Zhou Zhenzhen turned around and took the food box in Chu Jiu's hand and ordered: "Chu Jiu, you don't have to wait, go and rest." ”

Chu Jiu naturally understood the meaning of Zhou Zhenzhen's words, and retired immediately.

"Aunt Qing, let's go. There are so many people today, and you have always stayed by my side. ”

Aunt Qing smiled gently and nodded.

Zhou Zhenzhen helped Aunt Qing and quickly walked out of the garden, bypassing the crowd and going straight to the reception hall.

In the crowd, Shen Yanbai happily led the invited Zuo Yingying to rub shoulders with Zhou Zhenzhen, although separated by a goose warm stone road, Shen Yanbai still heard the sound of a string of bells colliding.

The sound was crisp, and it seemed to be exactly the same as that worn by the mysterious woman who rescued him that night.

Shen Yanbai immediately stopped, turned his head suddenly, and his eyes were already chasing Zhou Zhenzhen's back and gradually moving away.

Zuo Yingying didn't know why Shen Yanbai suddenly stopped, and looked at him with the pipa in his arms, but he didn't see anything.

"Shen Langjun, don't be in a daze, let's go quickly. The feast is about to begin. ”

was reminded by Zuo Yingying, Shen Yanbai reacted, and immediately smiled and walked forward with Zuo Yingying.

……

When Fang arrived in the front hall, Zhou Zhenzhen saw Fang sitting on the side and had just finished drinking the bitter medicinal food, his bitter brows were furrowed, and he pushed the medicine bowl away again and again.

Zhou Zhenzhen helped Aunt Qing forward and greeted her in a formal manner.

"Greetings Madame, my mother and I took the liberty to come here today in the hope that we didn't disturb Madame."

Fang Shi smiled softly and spoke slowly, but before he could say anything, he coughed first, and his face was red and his ears were red after coughing a few times.

Aunt Qing hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the back gently, and Zhou Zhenzhen hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over. Fang Shi moistened his stomach a few times, and then slowly eased up.

"Madame, how are you feeling now?" Zhou Zhenzhen asked with concern.

Fang Shi waved his hand, "My body is like this, I've long been used to it." ”

"How can that work? Have you asked a doctor to take a look? ”

Without waiting for Fang to speak, Mama Chen, who was serving beside her, walked in with a tray in a hurry.

"I can't find a doctor anywhere, but it doesn't work. The doctor only said that the cold qi entered the body and needed to be slowly removed with medicine. ”

Mama Chen sighed deeply, put the tray on the table, picked up the medicine cup and persuaded Fang.

"Madam, this is the last medicine of the day, you can just bear with it and drink it."

Fang Shi frowned, refusing to even glance at the decoction.

Zhou Zhenzhen was puzzled, but boldly asked: "How can the cold air enter the body?" ”

Mama Chen replied: "The third lady didn't know that she had entered the house late, and her wife fell into the pool three years ago, and she has fallen ill since that time. Every spring, I cough badly, and my hands and feet are cold all year round. ”

Zhou Zhenzhen was even more confused, and looked at Fang's family carefully-

The face is pale, the under-eyes are slightly dark and blue, and the lip flaps are dry and peeling. The most strange thing is that the hands, slender and fair-skinned, at a glance you know that she is a clean and can dress up, but there is a layer of slightly yellowed old skin on the tips of the ten fingers, which is not like a lady who lives in the inner house all the year round.

"If ordinary cold enters the body, it won't be so difficult to treat......" Zhou Zhenzhen muttered.

She raised her head, met the gaze of the Shang clan, and said, "Madam, I once studied medicine with a doctor when I was in Jiangnan. You shouldn't have a pulse today, right? If you don't dislike it, I'd like to show you. ”

"Okay, I didn't expect our family to have this kind of ability."

Fang Shi was very happy and immediately stretched out his hand. Zhou Zhenzhen really took the pulse for her.

Zhou Zhenzhen did study medicine, but not from the Jiangnan doctor, but with a crazy old guy. The old man's medical skills were exquisite, and Zhou Zhenzhen, who was his close disciple, naturally did not disgrace him.

It's just that this vein really made Zhou Zhenzhen break something strange.
