The ordinary-looking shoes are inconspicuous hidden in the weeds, and if you hadn't known it was here in the first place, no matter how good your eyesight was, you wouldn't have noticed its existence.

Jia Xuan pulled it out, pried open the torn corner and looked at the double-sided embroidery inside, making sure that its color was the same as the screen described by Lin Daiyu, so he quietly carried it in his arms and went to the small broken firewood room.

On the road, the maids and maids were in a hurry, probably busy for the cousin who came home today.

A maid wearing a bean green bibi saw Jia Xuan and greeted, "Which yard are you working in?" I've got a plate of crystal cakes to serve to my cousin, so you can help me. ”

Seeing that there were no others around, Jia Xuan knew that he had been misidentified, so he didn't defend himself, and walked over and smiled sweetly: "Sister, is this plate going to be served to the old lady's courtyard?" ”

"It's not." Doulu Bijia's maid said: "It's brought to Lian's second grandmother's house." Today, the cousin girl has seen the old lady, and she went to the rooms to say goodbye, and the second grandmother said that she couldn't eat too milky snacks because of Miss Lin's delicate body, so she made this crystal cake, saying that it was ready to be used when entertaining Miss Lin. ”

She changed her words at the moment, because she remembered that Grandma Lian had ordered like this. I forgot about it before, and I still called it a "cousin". He looked at the little maid in front of him who was very young but had a good birth, and was more beautiful than the doll in the New Year's painting, so he asked, "Which yard are you waiting for?" ”

Jia Xuan secretly said that since he was the person in front of Wang Xifeng, he would definitely see him in the future, so he said, "On the side of the black oil gate." "It's Jia Yu's residence.

Wang Xifeng is Jia Yu's daughter-in-law, and the servants around her naturally know that Jia Yu lives in another courtyard on the other side of the garden. And Wang Xifeng followed the people in the second room to live in Rongguo Mansion with the old lady, but he was not with his in-laws.

The maid saw that it was someone from the master's in-laws, but she was also polite: "You took this plate to the second grandmother, and just said that I was busy and couldn't get out of it so I sent you." ”

She stuffed a plate of things to Jia Xuan, and went to the side to join in the fun.

Jia Xuan was planning to look around and look for some clues, so he happily accepted the errand and went straight to Wang Xifeng's residence.

Going around and around, I came to the front of a small courtyard. A few talented little people stood in front of the courtyard gate, and when they heard that they were bringing food to the second grandmother, they turned sideways and let Jia Xuan over.

Wang Xifeng accompanied the old lady to invite Miss Lin to a banquet and had not yet returned, and there were only a few mothers-in-law and maids guarding here. Seeing that Jia Xuan was still young, and there was little need to avoid entering the second grandmother's house, they didn't get up, pointed to the table in the room and said, "You just leave it over there." We'll get it in place later. ”

The draped scarlet felt curtain was a bit heavy for a child. Jia Xuan squeezed past the side of the door, and could still feel the weight of the felt curtain on his body.

She was small, and she walked to the table and stood on tiptoe before putting things down. When I came out, I saw that everyone was chatting and gossiping, and no one was doing anything serious, so I glanced at everyone's feet a few times.

There was a mother-in-law who was wearing shoes that were a little similar to the one she was carrying in her arms, so she was surprised, pointed to the upper of her mother-in-law's shoes and asked, "You are a little familiar." I've seen the same on a sister's feet, all of them are like this, except that her shoes are embroidered with the Annunciation of the Grey Sparrow, and yours is the Annunciation of the Black Sparrow, and the color is different. ”

It's just a child, and no one takes her seriously, let alone thinks what she says has any intentions. What's more, this child is a little stupid and stupid, and no one is wary of her, and she has said everything.

The mother-in-law who was asked sighed: "You're talking about Huoxiang, right?" She had embroidered our shoes, and I paid two hundred dollars to make them for me. ”

When a woman in plain shoes heard this, she said, "When did you find Huoxiang?" If I could get her a good pair of shoes for only 200 yuan, I asked her to go. ”

"What pair of shoes is only two hundred? She's the one next to the eldest lady, and I can't let her do things for just two hundred. The previous mother-in-law said: "Two hundred dollars is just for her to embroider a magpie on the upper of the shoe for me, but the sole of this shoe is all paid by myself, that is, this upper, and I also sewed it by myself." ”

The plain shoe stopped talking, and only squinted and looked at the black finch a few more times with envy.

Jia Xuan asked, "Sister Huoxiang is here today?" When Miss Lin arrived at the house, the eldest lady came, and then took Miss Lin to go shopping. Thinking about it, Sister Huoxiang has to follow the eldest lady today. "Over there" refers to the courtyard of the Black Oil Gate, where Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing live.

The two mothers-in-law looked at each other for a long time, and both shook their heads hesitantly: "I haven't seen Miss Huoxiang today." She usually has a good relationship with us, and if the eldest lady comes and she is idle, she will definitely come to us to gossip. ”

Jia Xuan thanked the two of them, and secretly said that the deceased was likely to be Huoxiang. It's just that she lives in the courtyard of the black throttle, how can she let the mother-in-law and maid from Rongguo Mansion go to visit after she dies.

Those two people were able to leave the Rongguo Mansion and enter the black throttle courtyard in a bright light, they must have spent a lot of effort and deliberately found excuses, and then they wanted to look around and find Huoxiang's body to take a closer look, and it was another effort.

With such effort, the two of them alone can't do it, at least there has to be a master behind to help make it so smooth. I just don't know who this person behind is, whether he lives in Rongguo Mansion or in the Black Throttle Yard.
