By the time new news about the theft reached Mi Xia Yao's ears, it was already the morning of the next day.

In the front hall, Lan Ren was gobbling up breakfast with the news.

"According to your request, we deliberately spread the news in that area, and even deliberately asked my brothers to disguise themselves as Jianghu people to make a movement in the courtyard of each mansion."

He swallowed the last mouthful of porridge in embarrassment, touching his belly and not forgetting to report last night's progress.

Mi Xia Yao asked Lan Ren to spread the news that she was carrying a bounty, and if anyone in the rivers and lakes could find the lost items, there would be a hundred taels of gold as a bounty.

"It's just that there is one, and I can't get in for the time being."

Lan Ren's breath was quite loud, and he looked at Mi Xia Yao with some embarrassment.

He carefully looked at Mi Xia Yao's expression and found that the gold lord did not have an obvious emotional change, this was the first time he had done something unfavorably, and the whole person was quite embarrassed.

Mi Xia Yao hugged Mi Xiaobao and sat on the Taishi chair, "It's okay, even if you can't get in, the news should reach her ears, it's enough." ”

What she wanted was to deliberately startle the snake, so that Lin Wei began to sit down with herself, and made Lin Wei's heart empty in advance.

"Alright, you go get busy." After she gave Lan Ren an equal payment, she sent him away first.

Gu Yun sat on the Taishi's chair and watched the maids clean up the scraps on the table, she frowned.

"This robbery came too suddenly, will it affect the problem of returning to the capital for development?"

Mi Xia Yao shook her head slightly, "The preparation for returning to the capital is, don't worry about the progress here, I have my own plan." ”

Gu Yun saw that she didn't want to say more, and she also understood the general situation in her heart, so she bowed slightly.

"Okay, then I'll start preparing for the return journey."

After the two checked the distribution of tasks, Gu Yun hurriedly left the mansion with people.

Here, Chen Xi had just finished handling things from Xiao Chunfeng, returned to the mansion with a worried expression and hurriedly walked over.

"I heard that thieves are coming, are you alright? Lost something? ”

Her voice of surprise came from the courtyard to the antechamber, and no one saw it, but the voice came first.

Mo Yue went over for a while, and saw Chen Xi leading Pei Poo all the way over, and the two of them obviously only knew when they heard someone else say this.

"Wait you know? You won't know until you know that your home has been stolen. ”

Mi Xia Yao raised her eyebrows, and she teased Chen Xi and said.

Chen Xi saw Xiaobao in Mi Xia Yao's arms at first glance with small wounds on his face, and exclaimed.

"My goodness! What's the matter, my aunt hasn't seen our little treasure for a few days, why did she fall like this? ”

She let go of Pei Yao's hand, squatted quickly in front of Mi Xia Yao, and looked at Mi Xiaobao in front of her.

During this time in Linzhou City, in addition to Song Qiao and Mi Xia Yao, there were also Chen Xi and Gu Yun who took turns to take care of the child.

After getting along for so many months, I am also completely familiar with each other.

Mi Xiaobao saw the familiar aunt, and happily shook her little hand and was about to go to find Chen Xi.

"Are you here to ask the thief a question, or are you here to see Mi Xiaobao?"

Mi Xia Yao was speechless by her dual-purpose state.

Chen Xi took the time to look up at Mi Xia Yao and sighed, but soon started playing with Mi Xiaobao again.

In contrast, Pei Poo was much calmer, she sat next to Mi Xia Yao, still squinting her eyes, and said worriedly: "Is the thief's matter serious?" Listen to those guys in the shop, even pay a bounty to find the lost item? ”

"You've heard that, too?" Mi Xia Yao's voice towards Pei was much softer than Chen Xi's.

Pei Wei nodded obediently.

"It's okay, it's easy to deal with, there's no big problem, it's just scary to watch."

"That'...... Is there any arrangement for the injured people in the mansion? ”

"With your Mrs. Gu here, it's all reliable." Mi Xia Yao's smile deepened a lot.

Sure enough, Pei Poo's delicate mind is incomparable to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was holding Mi Xiaobao and swaying, listening to the child giggles, she looked back at Mi Xia Yao, and took the time to say: "It is said outside that many people from the outer city have come to Linzhou City recently, and they also said that it must be the people from the outer city whose hands and feet are not clean, otherwise how could this happen." ”

Pei Poo took over the words, "Today, I have seen several quarrels between the outer city and the local area in the shop, and I have appeased it several times, and the laughing spring breeze is about to become peaceful." ”

Mi Xia Yao smiled, this momentum is getting bigger and bigger, I just don't know if Lin Wei can sit still.

She pulled Pei Poo to chat about some other content, and after chatting for a while, there was a commotion in the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Pei Xingyuan holding the official hat in his hand and striding over.

Before he could see who else was in the front hall, he said to Mi Xia Yao in a deep voice: "Today, in order to deal with the matter of foreign businessmen coming to set up shops, the political secretary is very busy, how long will this trivial matter be done." ”

"Ahem."

As soon as Chen Xi heard this rough way of speaking, she coughed lightly with a vague embarrassment.

Only then did Pei Xingyuan notice that there were two people in the hall, and another person was watching......

Mi Xia Yao raised her eyebrows, she looked at Pei Poo and then at Pei Xingyuan.

remembered that when she was in the capital, Pei Poo once told them that she felt that Pei Xingyuan was always a little familiar.

"This person ......" Pei Xingyuan stared at Pei Poo, the little girl, for a few moments.

But he quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Mi Xia Yao frankly, "When did you buy a new maid again, why don't I know?" ”

Pei Poo: ??? who

"Don't you think this person looks familiar?" Mi Xia Yao asked him in turn with half-squinted beautiful eyes.

Seeing Mi Xia Yao asking so seriously, he had to think seriously for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "...... Like what? ”

Pei sighed helplessly, "Sister Xia Yao, in fact, the last time I stayed in the capital, I went to inquire one after another, Master Pei just happened to have the same surname as me, I do have a brother, but ......"

Her expression was a little faint, and she looked much more silent than when she was in the capital, "It's a little unlucky, when I find my brother, he is already a handful of loess." ”

Pei Xingyuan listened to what the little girl said, and then he suddenly realized.

Since Pei Poo entered Linzhou City, she hasn't chatted with Mi Xia Yao alone, and she naturally doesn't know this news. The memory is still stuck in the memory of the small talk in the capital.

It is inevitable that there will be such an embarrassing scene.

"It seems that your memory is really not very good," Mi Xia Yao looked at Pei Xingyuan calmly, "Sadness is my treasure hidden in the golden house in the capital." ”

“……？” Pei Xingyuan paused for a moment.

He usually heard such meat words as Jinwu Zangjiao, but why did this become a little difficult to understand when it came out of Mi Xia Yao's mouth?

"What do you see, the small courtyard in the capital was originally arranged by me to live in the miserable, and the exclusive customization of the small courtyard was also handled by the miserable single-handedly."

Mi Xia Yao seemed to indifferently open the topic, but in fact, she was making up for the misguidance she had just made.
