"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening." Old Madam Xiao muttered this sentence, plum blossoms can still bloom in the proud snow, so the Xiao family will still survive this grind.

"After experiencing wind and rain, the Xiao family can only thrive in the future." Mrs. Xiao said with emotion, Old Man Xiao has preserved the glory of the Xiao family for decades, and when it comes to Xiao Jialing's generation, he has not suffered at all.

Xiao Jialing has been praised by Mr. since he was a child, and he won the first place in the township trial to become Xie Yuan, and many people in Shengjing have said that Xiao Jialing may be the second champion after Xiao Fu!

After this difficulty, after Xiao Jialing joins the office, perhaps, he will be more cautious and more clearly understand that above the court, it is useless for you to be talented.

"Yes, our Xiao family doesn't make silk flowers, we want to be grass that can withstand the wind and rain!" Xiao Jiuyue and Old Madam Xiao looked at each other and smiled, she said: "In the future, the Xiao family will be invincible!" ”

"Yes, invincible." Old Madam Xiao smiled, and her mood was obviously excellent.

Sending Mrs. Xiao back to the main courtyard to rest, Xiao Jiuyue went back to the house, and looked at the locked door in the front yard and backyard, Jun Lie, why did you choose to come to Xiao's house to recuperate?

Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she went back to the house.

"Sister, I copied the scriptures." Xiao Jiayuan took the copied scripture and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Bless my sister safe!" ”

"Yo, did you copy the scriptures for me?" Xiao Jiuyue opened it, Xiao Jiayuan's handwriting was neat, and the word was good.

Xiao Jiayuan said with a look of praise on his face: "Sister, I am not wrong in a word, the Buddha will definitely bless my sister safely!" Although he was young and didn't know what was going on, Xiao Jiayuan instinctively hoped that his sister would be safe.

"That's good." Xiao Jiuyue looked at this good scripture, such a long scripture wants to be good in one word, and it needs to be neat and neat, it can be seen that it takes a lot of thought.

Xiao Jiayuan, who was praised, pursed his lips shyly and smiled.

Xiao Jiuyue put away the scriptures and asked, "Jiayuan, today, when you saw the Third Highness, did he say anything to you?" ”

"His Royal Highness said, let me call him Third Brother." Xiao Jiayuan replied crisply, tilting his head to say what he and Jun Lie said, most of them were some cold words, such as asking Xiao Jiayuan to study hard, for example, asking some articles that Xiao Jiayuan is studying now.

"Well......" Xiao Jiayuan thought hard, thought for a long time, and finally said: "No!" ”

Xiao Jiuyue was adored by his cute appearance, this kid has been working harder and harder recently, she rubbed his hair and said, "Okay, hurry back to the house to rest, I have to go to class tomorrow, otherwise, Mr. Jiang will punish you for copying articles again." ”

"I, I've been able to memorize a book lately." Xiao Jiayuan pursed his lips and said, in addition to not being very good at arithmetic, his endorsement has always been praised by Mr.

"Keep it up!" Xiao Jiuyue praised.

Xiao Jiayuan grinned, then turned around and ran out, just a few steps, Xiao Jiayuan turned around and ran in front of Xiao Jiuyue, and said: "Sister, the third brother also said that the Xiao family will return to its former glory, sister, you say, is what the third brother said true?" ”

Xiao Jiayuan looked at Xiao Jiuyue expectantly.

"It's true." Xiao Jiuyue nodded affirmatively, squatted down, and looked at Xiao Jiayuan at eye level: "Jiayuan, Mr. Jiang is a person with real talent and real learning, you follow Mr. Jiang to study hard." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Jiayuan nodded heavily and said, "I want to be like my father, like my brother, to be the champion in the exam, and to be the first in the exam!" ”

Xiao Jiayuan's face with baby fat was full of seriousness.

Xiao Jiuyue smiled: "Jiayuan, even if you are not the first, you are great!" "The ancient scientific examination is more difficult than the modern examination of the Qing North.

"No, I'm a child of the Xiao family, I can't lose the face of the Xiao family." Xiao Jiayuan has been studying hard recently, and he thinks that when he grows up, he can protect his sister.

Looking at his serious appearance, Xiao Jiuyue didn't pour cold water again, she said encouragingly: "Come on!" ”

After Xiao Jiayuan left, Xiao Jiuyue saw Mr. Jin.

"Miss, we have already found out, it is the person hired by Cheng Fangjiao and the person by Fang Caiwei." Mr. Jin didn't sleep for a day and a night, and finally found out who wanted to do something to the eldest lady.

Xiao Jiuyue's face was not a little surprised, there were only a few people she knew in Hongdu.

"Miss." Manager Jin told him everything he had found out one by one, and said, "Originally, it wasn't so easy to find, but later, someone else passed on the news, and it was only then that I found out that the Fang family had been raising a group of dead soldiers. ”

"Dead?" Xiao Jiuyue's eyes sank slightly, and her eyes were full of doubt: "Fang family, how can there be dead soldiers?" ”

It's just a rich and noble family, where did the dead come from?

"This ......" Manager Jin said hesitantly, "It's not clear for the time being, but there should be someone behind the Fang family." ”

Xiao Jiuyue grasped the key point and asked: "Who sent us the news?" Is it reliable? "Without this news, they wouldn't have been able to find the dead of the Fang family at all!

"Fang Caifei." Mr. Kim replied.

In Xiao Jiuyue's mind, she automatically flashed out that day in the Fang Mansion, because of a maid, the second miss of the Fang family who was crying and almost lost her breath, was as weak as the little pitiful little who could be bullied by anyone, her fingers tapped lightly on the table: "Fang Caiwei is a concubine in the process, Fang Caifei also made a contribution, the Fang family's dirtiness, but I understand, but the matter of the dead man ......."

Intuition told Xiao Jiuyue that this thing was unusual, and she advised: "Manager Jin, I know that you used to follow my father, and you have some methods, the Fang family is wrong, you lead people to keep an eye on the Fang family." ”

"The other party is not necessarily coming for me, maybe for the Xiao family." Xiao Jiuyue groaned, originally thought it was a quarrel from some daughters' families, but now it seems that it may not be the enemy of the Xiao family.

Mr. Jin clasped his hands into fists and replied: "Don't worry, Miss." ”

After Mr. Jin left, Xiao Jiuyue deliberately went to Aunt Lan's residence, Aunt Lan had just slept Xiao Jiachen, and when she saw Xiao Jiuyue, she thought it was something urgent, and asked, "Miss, what do you have to do?" ”

"Aunt Lan, since your brother agreed to cooperate last time, you said that they have already set off to Hongdu, when will they be able to arrive in Hongdu?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.

When Aunt Lan heard this, she thought in her heart and said, "Miss, according to the footsteps, my brother will be able to reach Hongdu in a few days." ”

Aunt Lan was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would be unhappy, and added: "I guess my brother must have brought all the fabrics to Hongdu, so it is naturally slower than traveling lightly." ”

"Well, your brother arrived, tell me immediately." Xiao Jiuyue got up, looked at the needlework basket placed on the side, and said, "The hour is not early, and Aunt Lan should rest early, don't hurt your eyes, it will be worth the loss." ”

Since they went to the embroidery workshop to get the job and came back to do it, Aunt Lan, Xiao Yurong and Aunt Xiao San have been embroidering day and night.
