Chapter 4 Sir, you look for me
"Yes, Sister Peach. ”
One of them, dressed in fan clothes, ran too quickly, and the hair didn't have time to be gathered up, and timidly replied and ran out of the door.
The other two maids did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to lift the screen that had fallen to the ground, and cleaned up the water stains splashed on the ground.
Standing respectfully aside, he didn't dare to speak.
"What's going on?" At this time, a majestic voice came from the gate of Qingyuan Pavilion.
Immediately afterwards, a man in his early forties, tall and slender, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, frowned tightly, and strode in, it was Zhou Tianci, the prefect of Qingzhou.
She was followed by the prefect's wife, Wang.
and a group of maids and mothers-in-law who are pressed by the press.
The third aunt gave Xiao Tao a look meaningfully, and Xiao Tao understood, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Poof", kneeling in front of Zhou Tianci, Pear Blossom said loudly: "There are lewd thieves, there are lewd thieves, please make the decision for our third aunt." ”
"Is there an adulterer?" Zhou Tianci frowned, muttered in his heart, and turned his head to look at the third aunt.
Seeing that when she heard the word "lewd thief", her body really shrank, and a trace of fear flashed in her blank eyes.
If it was only five points, I believed that it was eight points.
But how important is the chastity of women in this era, if it is lost, it must be a scandal, Zhou Tianci clenched his fists, looked at her with anger in reluctance, and slowly walked towards the bed.
The Wang family has always been docile, and after hearing the reason, his heart tightened, revealing a trace of regret.
This Qingyuan Pavilion is a newly built attic when the third aunt entered the door two years ago, located in the northeast corner of Qingzhou Mansion, the location is quiet, quiet and tranquil.
It is especially in line with the light and elegant temperament of the third aunt.
Because it is very liked by Zhou Tianci, he personally named this attic "Qingyuan Pavilion".
Usually, Zhou Tianci stays in this Qingyuan Pavilion for at least five days out of ten days, which shows how favored he is.
This time, if it weren't for Zhou Xi, the son of the Wang family, who was discovered by a powerful monk and was born with a spiritual root that could cultivate immortals, even his wife Wang would not be able to compare with him at all.
I didn't expect this to happen right now.
Everyone saw that in addition to the trace of pity in her expression, it was more of schadenfreude.
The third aunt shrank on the edge of the bed, looking at Zhou Tianci, who was moving forward step by step, with unkind eyes, her body shrunk like chaff, and her three-inch golden lotus-like feet unconsciously kicked to the side of the bed under this powerful pressure, and her thin body retreated back quickly and without discipline.
She looked like this, and when she saw Zhou Tianci's eyes, she was even more resentful, and the blue tendons on her forehead were faintly violent.
The look on her face sank, and she strode forward, reached out violently and grabbed the corner of the cloud quilt she was wrapped in, and pulled it hard.
The force was so strong that the third aunt was also pulled and fell off the bed
"This 。。。。。。 ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at the third aunt who was a little haggard except for some water stains on the neckline, and the other three aunts who should be neatly dressed.
The look on the show just now came to an abrupt end.
The Wang family, who was standing behind him, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and his expression eased.
"Sir。。。。。。 The third aunt trembled and got up from the ground, her face full of tears, and she looked up at Zhou Tianci timidly.
At this time, Xiao Tao also crawled to Zhou Tianci's side while crying, and said with an earnest expression:
"The lord wants to be the master of my aunt, tonight is a scorching summer, my aunt wants to bathe and cool down, but because the night is deep, my aunt can't bear to summon the mother-in-law to boil water, so I only wet my hair with water by the slave maid to reduce the heat, who would have thought, I heard the sound of the roof tiles at that time, and then I saw a black shadow fall from the roof, the slave and maid were close to the window, today's moonlight is very good, just saw his appearance, and asked the lord to be the master for our aunt. ”
"Who is it?" Wu Tianci's eyebrows tightened, and there was still no lack of sternness in his tone, but anyone could see that compared to the anger just now, his expression at this time had eased.
"That man, no, should be a beggar, about fifty years old, with a rickety body, a white beard, his clothes, patches and patches, sloppy and sloppy covered with mud and oil stains, and he can smell a stench from afar, but the slave and maid go out less, and don't know who he is, please call the shots. Xiao Tao said as she bowed down and kowtowed a few more times.
The old beggars in Qingzhou Mansion have not five hundred but four hundred, and most of them are dressed like this, so there is no clue at all when they look for it.
"In addition to these, what other characteristics are there?" Wu Tianci pondered for a moment, then asked.
"By the way, I remember that the beggar had a black mole the size of a mung bean grain in the corner of his eye, and when he laughed, the black mole was still trembling, very obscene. Xiao Tao thought for a moment and continued.
"Someone, call the butler to the council hall quickly. Wu Tianci turned his head and commanded the little maid behind him.
"Alright, you guys should also get up and take good care of your three aunts. With that, he turned his head and walked out.
Wang tilted his head and glanced at the third aunt worriedly, before turning around and following Zhou Tianci.
After drinking back everyone, the third aunt still had the weak appearance just now, and Xiao Tao glanced at each other, and they all saw a wicked smile in the other party's eyes.
Zhou Tianci had just returned to the conference hall and had not had time to sit down.
A fat man in a green robe who looked like a housekeeper, holding the hem in one hand, hurriedly ran over from the outside, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead from time to time while running, gasped a few times and said, "Master, you are looking for me." ”
"Qingyuan Pavilion, you know, right? Give you one night, I must arrest the old beggar before tomorrow evening, and if you dare to pay attention to my prefect's mansion, I will definitely tear him into pieces." ”
Zhou Tianci's wide palm slapped on the table next to him fiercely, and shouted loudly.
"Yes, sir. The butler knew what was going on long before he came, and hurriedly retreated back with his orders.
Passing by a remote path on the west side of the council chamber.
"Steward Zhou, where are you going in a hurry this big night?" Xiao Tao walked out of the shadows, her voice soft and her face coquettish.
"Who should I be, it turned out to be our little peach, I don't know what to do with me?" Steward Zhou said, lewdly stepped forward to hold Xiao Tao's right hand, and kneaded it vigorously a few times.
"Steward Zhou. The disgust in Xiao Tao's eyes swept away, but he didn't withdraw his hand, but coquettishly took out a pink purse embroidered with lotus leaves from his sleeve.
Stuffed him into Steward Zhou's palm.
"I don't know Xiao Tao, what does this mean?" Steward Zhou is also an old man who has been in the Zhou Mansion for many years, and almost the moment she took out her purse, she thought of the reason.
But he still asked out loud with a confused understanding.
