"Okay." The winter solstice walked out and ran back after a while.

"Girl, my uncle is no longer in the study."

Meng Zhiyi didn't look surprised, "You make an excuse, just say that I heard some rumors, and someone in the Zhou family slandered me. Let's just say that I am very angry and want to ask Zhou Yongheng for clarification. The main purpose is to see if he is still in the house. You have to see him with your own eyes."

"I understand." The winter solstice walked out again.

Meng Zhiyi supported his temples with one hand and pressed the other hand on the ledger above his knees. This page was opened by Lu Nanfeng just now for her to see, and there was nothing special about it.

The entire Meng Mansion is busy buying New Year's goods, and boxes of things are moved to the house, but Zhiyi Yuan is inevitably stuffed with these things.

Meng Zhiyi tilted his head and looked at the maids coming in and out, without any joy in previous years.

After lunch, the man who said he was in the study still didn't show up.

When Meng Zhiyi got into the warm quilt for a nap, he muttered a little complainingly, "The ghost believes you."

"What did you say, girl?" The winter solstice was busy on the side, and I vaguely heard Meng Zhiyi say a word.

"I said, you take someone to the plum garden to help, and remember what is sent into the house."

"Yes."

Dong Solstice told the little girl not to be lazy, listened to the movement in Meng Zhiyi's room, and then took the two girls to the plum garden.

Xie was quite busy here, and he was holding a notebook to check the things sent back from all directions. Every year, the month of the New Year in Mon is extremely busy. Just sorting out these relationships is extremely draining.

The winter solstice had also come over to help before, so Xie saw her coming with two girls and hurriedly beckoned to her.

Xie: "Zhiyi rested?"

"Yes, the girl just fell asleep."

Tse: "Has she been feeling unwell lately? Why do you think she's always sleeping?"

"The girl has been taking a nap for a long time lately, and it's probably getting cold." The winter solstice feels normal.

Xie Shi asked again, "Are you still drinking the nourishing herbs that Lang Zhong took before?"

"Yes, it is said that it takes a month to be effective."

Xie Shi understood Meng Zhiyi, and hurriedly said, "Have you watched her drink well? Don't let her fall for it."

Dong Solstice nodded, "No, I drank it in one gulp, and the girl said it wasn't as bitter as she imagined."

Hearing this, Xie Shi glanced thoughtfully at the winter solstice. And the winter solstice is to follow Meng Zhiyi's instructions, keep his eyes on those boxes, and write down everything.

Xie Shi gave her the notebook in his hand, "I'll leave it to you for checking, I'll go over there and take a look at the things that have been distributed to each courtyard and the things that have been returned."

"Yes."

Xie Shi walked to another courtyard and said to Li's mother beside him, "I won't give away that hundred-year-old ginseng, let's keep it first."

Mother Li found it out and presented it to the Xie family, "The slave said, let's keep a second lady here."

"No, for the knower." Xie's face was beaming with joy.

Mother Yang has followed Xie since she was a girl, she doesn't talk much, she is very attentive, and when she saw Xie like this, she immediately asked in a low voice, "Madam, is there good news for the eldest lady?"

Xie nodded, "I guess it is, you remember the nourishing medicine I drank when I was pregnant with Yueyue before, and Zhiyi said that it was bitter when it smelled, so I asked the girl on the winter solstice, and said that Zhiyi drank it without blinking." But there is nothing bitter about that herb, and if it is okay, she will drink it well."

"That doesn't mean anything, the eldest lady has an idea, and always tells us to be careful, there is something poisoned before...... Madam, even if this is true, you can hide it."

"Why? That's a good thing." Xie didn't understand.

Mother Yang said: "I heard the girl in the yard of the eldest lady say that my uncle always stayed in the study for a long time and didn't come out, and it was good for the two of them to get better, but sometimes the eldest lady still seemed to be unmarried, and she couldn't see her uncle at all

of people. Madame thinks about what the eldest lady said before, let's not interfere." Chinese Net

Xie pursed his lips, "I think my uncle is good, if I don't say goodbye......

"Madam, only the eldest lady knows if the shoes fit."

Xie Shi was embarrassed: "Then this ginseng ......"

"Just give it to the winter solstice, she'll take it back."

"Well, then it's okay to send the soup over, right? Anyway, Yueyue has to eat."

Mother Yang smiled, "Madame, don't be impatient, just cook more of the eldest lady's portion when the time comes." Anyway, the new chef in the small kitchen of Zhiyi Yuan is not very comfortable."

Xie Shi nodded sympathetically, "When the time comes, you can't borrow someone else's hand."

"Yes, ma'am."

The winter solstice side has been busy until the evening, seeing that the sky is almost dark, and after checking the rest, he hurried back to Zhiyi Temple. Who knows, Meng Zhiyi has already gotten up and is talking to Zhang Huwei.

Meng Zhi saw that the round cheeks of the winter solstice were rosy, and the tip of his nose was still a little sweaty, and hurriedly gave her citrus, "Newly sent here, you sit down and help me taste it first."

Where is the taste, the girls on this side have peeled several and finished eating, and the winter solstice took and peeled another one, so she took one and ate it herself.

Meng Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her squinting eyes with sour eyes, but still like a little squirrel stuffed with cheeks.

"Zhang Huwei, you go on."

Guard Zhang nodded, "There are two more helpers at the blacksmith shop, and I heard from the shop next to me that they are beating day and night."

"Did you ship it all out?"

"Yes, it's all for farming, so it's pulled out on a cart, and it used to be transported several times a month, and everyone didn't pay attention to it."

Meng Zhiyi: "The one Zheng Huwei knows should have someone he knows at the city gate, let him pay more attention to that cart."

"What does the eldest lady mean, is there a problem with the cart?"

"Hmm." Meng Zhiyi was not suspicious, but affirmed, "Pay more attention to the situation around Iron Mouse Mountain. Don't get too close, but if there's any movement, I'll get back in time."

"Yes. And this morning, the Xu family shipped several boxes of things out, saying that they were New Year's goods for those who worked for the Xu family."

"The gate should be open to check it out, right?"

"Yes, it's an ordinary New Year's item. The Xu family also sent a few boxes to Feng Xianling, but they only delivered the things to Feng Xianling's door, and they didn't see his people."

Meng Zhiyi: "Just because you don't see people doesn't mean they don't communicate with each other."

"Miss, there's one more thing, the famous Oiran from the Chunfeng Building is gone."

"Was it included in the room by Zhou Yongheng?"

"Nope. The eyeliner we arranged at Zhou's house said that the little pearl was also thrown in the dungeon by Zhou Yongheng. Little pearls shouldn't be of much use."

Meng Zhiyi: "Don't worry, Zhou Yongheng may not have time for the time being, you should pay attention to his whereabouts, as long as he takes people out of the city, come back and tell me immediately."

"Yes." Escort Zhang walked out.

The citrus in the hands of the winter solstice has been eaten, "Girl, this year's citrus is a little sour."

"It's probably because it's too cold this year."

Dong Solstice tilted his head and thought about what she said, and some didn't understand what the relationship between cold weather and citrus acid was?

Meng Zhiyi glanced at the bare branches outside the window, and then looked at the newly placed pots of flowers in the house, exuding a faint fragrance, "How is the conservatory?"

"It's almost ready, it should be in time for the Chinese New Year, let the girl take a look."

Meng Zhiyi smiled, but there was not much expectation in his eyes.

"There are more people coming and going in the house now, so you all have to be smarter."

Dong Solstice nodded, wiped his hands, and then took out a box from his arms, "This is what Madame kept for the girl."

Meng Zhiyi opened it and glanced at it, it was a ginseng that was quite old, "Didn't these things be kept for my father to make when the time came

Favor, what are you sending to me for?"

Winter Solstice shook his head.

Meng Zhiyi asked again, "What did my mother ask you?"

Winter Solstice repeated all the words that Xie asked her.

Meng Zhiyi glared at Dong Solstice, and Dong Solstice was even more confused, "What's the matter, girl? Am I saying something wrong?"

"What do you say?" Meng Zhiyi didn't blame the winter solstice, he just thought that one more person would have more exposed feet.

At the beginning of the winter solstice, I didn't know what Meng Zhiyi meant by glaring at her, until the evening, Mother Yang sent a lot of nourishing soup, which was still a little different from before, and there were several more big tonics.

"Auntie, girl, does Madame know?"

Meng Zhiyi looked at the table full of dishes and sighed lightly.

ate too much at night, causing Meng Zhiyi not to feel much sleep. I walked around the room for a long time, and I was still in good spirits.

Winter Solstice yawned one after another, "Girl, are you waiting for your uncle to come back?"

Meng Zhiyi: "........."

At this time, it was useless to explain, and Meng Zhiyi walked to his bed.

Seeing this, Dong Solstice hurriedly walked over to make her bed, she couldn't wait to rest first.

Who knew that as soon as the winter solstice quilt was lifted, he saw a small red and black snake running out.

"Ahh Dong Solstice screamed, turned around, pulled Meng Zhiyi and ran outside. Before Meng Zhiyi could react, the person was already standing outside, and the cold wind blew in the middle of the night, instantly freezing her bones.

"What's wrong?" Meng Zhiyi asked.

"Girl, there was a snake on your bed just now." Dong Solstice said with palpitations, "You girls, go in and look for your things."

"Yes." A few little girls were also scared, but at this time they couldn't retreat, so they hurriedly took the things they had in their hands and walked in.

Guarding Zhang heard the movement and walked in, "What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Guard Zhang, there are snakes. There was a snake in the girl's room."

Zhang Huwei hugged his fists at Meng Zhiyi, "Miss, I'll go in and take a look."

Meng Zhiyi waved his hand a little annoyed, "Go ahead!"

These people really didn't let her have a day to stop, and at this time, Meng Zhiyi, who was standing in the cold wind, was trembling with hatred.

Dong Zhi reacted, and then saw Meng Zhiyi's face turned blue from cold, "Girl, I'll get you a cloak, let's go to the study first, or go to the plum garden."

"Let's go to the study!" It was too late, and Meng Zhiyi didn't want to disturb the Xie family.
