Chapter 4 Mandarin Duck 4 Cooperation

Chen Lingzhong slept very unsteadily this night, and the physical pain made her feel so real in her dreams, and she also had a strange dream, in which there was a girl wearing a white dress and black hair combing her hair in the mirror all the time, until Chen Lingzhong woke up, she didn't see the next move of the girl in the dream, nor did she see the girl's face.

The sound of the "squeak" door made Chen Lingjing subconsciously close her eyes and pretend to be asleep, she didn't want to face everyone now, she needed to sort out the clues by herself now, so she closed her eyes and felt the various movements of the comer.

The person who came patted Chen Ling, who was pretending to be asleep, "Don't sleep, hurry up and pack your luggage and go to the eldest lady's courtyard." Chen Ling, wake up! ”

Whoever shoots like this has to wake up, Chen Lingzhong can only pretend to be woken up, "Huh? What happened to Sister Magpie? ”

The magpie said with a cold face: "When you wake up, hurry up and pack your luggage and report to the eldest lady's courtyard, the eldest lady will let the second miss escape you, the second miss agreed, and you will be the eldest lady's person in the future." ”

Miss? Isn't that Sister Trench Coat, the purpose is obvious, just to get people together, Chen Lingzhong sat up with difficulty and asked, "Why did the eldest lady ask me to come over?" ”

"How do I know, you hurry up and pack up, the eldest lady is still waiting in the courtyard. Ugly words ahead, you go to the eldest lady's courtyard and don't spread the word about the second miss, if you let the second miss know, you know the end. The magpie's warning eyes and tone made Chen Lingzhong feel shocked, it seems that the eldest lady and the second lady don't deal with each other.

"Bell understands." After finishing speaking, he got up and began to clean up, the magpie watched from the side, in case the bell stole something that should not be taken, and after cleaning up, the magpie checked Chen Ling's baggage again, and took her to the eldest lady's house to confirm that she had not stolen it.

On the way to the eldest lady's courtyard, the servant with a nervous expression hurried by, as if something big had happened in the family, "By the way, today the second young master of the Xu family went home, and he discussed the marriage with the Jiang family on behalf of the eldest young master." Tsk, I can't exchange clues with Xu Jinxiang after sleeping today. Before Chen Ling could finish her remorse, she had already arrived at the eldest lady's courtyard.

"Sister Jinxiu, I brought the bell here, I'll leave first if there's nothing." After saying that, the magpie turned and left.

Jin Xiu glanced at the back of the magpie, turned her head and took Chen Lingdang to see Xu Ximiao, "Miss, the person has arrived." ”

"Got it, stay with the bell, and let the rest go out." Xu Ximiao on the seat pinched her eyebrows to relieve her headache, and beckoned to Chen Lingdang, "Come and sit." ”

Chen Lingdang was not polite to her, and sat on the chair next to her as soon as she threw away her burden. Before I woke up and eaten, the snacks on the table began to dazzle.

Xu Ximiao looked at the girl who was eating wildly and frowned, "You eat slowly, you will pretend to be my maid in the future, and we can find out the clues together." Chen Lingdang was still eating and not speaking, the atmosphere was so deadlocked, Xu Ximiao stared at her and ate a plate of dim sum and drank three teas, and only spoke again after she was completely full: "We have to hurry up, a day and a half have passed." ”

Chen Ling rubbed her stomach and looked at the ceiling as if she was thinking about something, and finally spoke after a while: "Sister, the clues I can find here are the ones I experienced last night, and you already knew last night." Looking at Xu Ximiao with sincere eyes, Xu Ximiao knew that if she didn't take the initiative to say it, it would be impossible for this little girl to speak easily. I thought that the little girl almost died last night, but today she will cry when she sees herself, and she sticks to herself and takes the initiative to spit out the clues, but she is blind.

Xu Ximiao took a deep breath, and still said the clues he was looking for: "The reason why the master of the Xu family wants to marry as soon as possible is because the Xu family has begun to make ends meet, the Jiang family money village is the largest money village in the local area, but the loan interest is also high, the three batches of goods of the Xu family are folded on the sea, and the tribute to the royal family this year has also been found to have defective products, and most of the belongings have been made up by the fine alone, if there is no financial support, the bankruptcy of the Xu family will not be far away." If Jiang Xu marries, the dowry of the eldest lady of the Jiang family will be able to fill this hole, not to mention relying on the money village to enjoy the shade. ”

Xu Ximiao took a sip of water and continued: "I also inquired about the boss of the Xu family, he went out to drink in November last year, and came back drunk and slept with a maid in his courtyard, and the next day this matter reached Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu gave some money and drove the maid out of Xu's house, it is said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the maid was holding a child and tearing up with Xu Huaishang, and the next day the body of the maid was found in the pond in the courtyard of Xu Huaishang, the child was nowhere to be found, and the pond was filled in behind, and Mrs. Xu also found someone to overtake, I thought that this matter would pass like this, but within a few days, there were ghosts in the hospital, and Xu Huaishang also began to go crazy. ”

"That's all I know, do you have any ideas?" Xu Ximiao wanted to pry something out of Chen Lingdang's mouth, she felt that if she could get out of the ghost, the girl who was still so emotionally stable today must know something.

Of course, Chen Lingdang knew what Xu Ximiao meant, but she needed to determine a few things, and without figuring out the other party's game task, she could only say less to be less wrong. "I don't have a clue now, I was scared a lot yesterday, but I think that girl must be a breakthrough, I think I can start pushing in this direction."

Xu Ximiao listened, and the expression on her face relaxed a lot: "I think so too, this is also the reason why I asked you to come to my courtyard, your identity is a maid, you can find out more information in the servants, how about you try to inquire?" ”

"Yes, but from which angle does my sister want to start?" You can't do the work alone, and Chen Lingdang also wants to know Xu Ximiao's next move.

"The master of the Xu family, that is, my father, asked me to send an invitation to the eldest lady of the Jiang family and invite her to come to the house as a guest, and I can collect some clues from her. Don't worry, since I cooperate, I will definitely give everything I know, and I want to get out of here alive. ”

Chen Lingdang nodded and picked up the burden and prepared to leave, and when he was leaving, he remembered something and said: "Sister, you and Steward Wang discuss it, we can work together with three people, multiple people and multiple roads, I'm right." Then he left the house.

The man behind the screen came out and looked thoughtfully at the door.

"Brother Wang, do you think this little girl is credible?"

"I don't think people have missed it, and this little girl can escape from the ghost, she must be a little capable, it's better to gamble." Wang Jianguo cut his hair, "Of course, we can't rely on her, we have to hurry up on our own affairs, there are still five days left......"

Here Chen Lingdang put down the package and took a detour to find Xu Jinxiang, she now wants to know what happened to the things she told last night, when she passed by the firewood room of the main courtyard, Chen Lingdang saw a familiar figure, only to see the big-bellied figure seemed to be sprinkling something, just when the sun was setting and it didn't look real, but this person Chen Lingjing basically knew it in his heart.

When she arrived at Xu Jinxiang's courtyard, Chen Ling's sneaky traces were still discovered, and she made up a reason that the eldest lady asked her to send something to the third young master, but she was told that Xu Jinxiang went to the main courtyard to receive guests, and the guests were the Jiang family who talked about relatives today. Chen Ling thanked him and went to the main courtyard in a hurry.

The main courtyard was brightly lit and lively, Chen Lingdang looked at the servants in a hurry, she took the opportunity to sneak into the crowd, and went to the hall of the main courtyard with the freshly prepared hot dishes from the back kitchen. It can be seen that the Xu family attaches great importance to this conversation, Master Xu sits in the main seat, Master Jiang sits on the left hand, Chen Lingdang swept around and did not find the shadow of the eldest lady of the Jiang family, Xu Jinxiang and Chen Lingdang came to look at each other, and then Chen Lingdang waited quietly by the door, although she was not a servant of the main courtyard, but fortunately, the situation today is special and urgently needs manpower, and no one has noticed her, a person from the outer courtyard, she can't miss such a large amount of information.

"Brother Jiang has worked hard today, Bai Ran is a good girl, we must be treated as daughters when we marry here in the future, it is a blessing for Jin Xiang to be able to take Bai Ran into the door, and it is also a blessing for our Xu family!" Master Xu was very happy with the wine cup, and praised Jiang Bairan for a meal.

"Boss Xu said with a smile, my little woman is pampered, so I can tolerate her, parents are afraid that their daughters will marry the wrong man, and they don't want their children to be rich and rich, they just want their children to be happy and safe." Master Xu sighed.

"Brother Jiang, don't worry, if Bai Ran is wronged when he enters the door in the future, even if he doesn't want to be a child, we will call the shots for Bai Ran!" Drink it all down.

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved with Boss Xu's words, and then our two families will be in-laws, and it's easy to say anything." Master Jiang replied to Master Xu, and the table was peaceful.

Chen Ling secretly thought that it seemed that his task could be successfully completed, and this family business was a certainty.

"Uncle Xu, since Bai Ran will be the daughter-in-law of the Xu family in the future, the second young master's loan in our bank can be exempted from interest, after all, the family can just return the principal." It was the son of the Jiang family who spoke, and I don't know whether this inappropriate topic was raised intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ziqiu, don't be rude." Master Jiang reprimanded Jiang Ziqiu, and the man raised his eyebrows and bowed his head to apologize.

"In this matter, the money borrowed by Yinan must be repaid, I wonder if my brother can postpone it for two more days?" Master Xu asked cautiously.

"Let's talk about this matter in detail later, since it will be a family in the future, everything is easy to discuss. The dishes are all ready, why don't we eat first. Master Jiang's change of topic made the Xu family very uncomfortable, and the originally lively and festive dinner table suddenly became a little embarrassing. But fortunately, the two adults played haha with each other, and the meal was also lively on the surface.

This table doesn't seem to have anything to do with Xu Jinxiang, he looks too imaginary, only the nods and smiles from time to time can make people see that his heart is still on this table. Chen Lingdang listened to the conversation at the table without nutrition and said in her heart that it was a loss, if it was just this little thing, she didn't need to get involved at all, and then she could go to Xu Jinxiang and ask directly, it was a waste of time to spend here now.

When it was about to arrive, the quiet dinner on this face was finally over, Chen Lingdang mixed in the crowd of servants and followed Xu Jinxiang to the door to see off the guests, originally thought that as long as the people were sent away, they could pull Xu Jinxiang to quickly sort out the clues, but Master Xu asked Xu Jinxiang to go to the study with him to talk about things, Chen Lingzhong was so angry that his temples burst out, this game is really a crime with himself, and it seems that he can only rely on himself tonight.
