The genius pyrographer of the reborn daughter

Chapter 52
Just as Qiu Xue was pale and kneeling on the ground, Mo Mei clutched her belly and trotted out from the inner courtyard.

Seeing this battle, Mo Mei was also slightly taken aback. She hurriedly knelt down behind Qiu Xue, raised her head and said timidly to Ning Wanzhu: "Miss, Mo Mei just felt sick in her stomach and went to the toilet."

Aunt Shao heard what Mo Mei said was vulgar, so she didn't go into it any further. She turned her face away and said to Qiu Xue, "Get up!"

Mo Mei triumphantly gave Ning Wanzhu a wink, indicating that she had heard the news.When Ning Wanzhu saw her, she secretly rejoiced, but she didn't show it on her face, she just accepted Aunt Shao's ceremony silently.Surprisingly, the "gift" that Ning Wanzhu received was the same as everyone else's.

Ning Wanzhu looked at the things in her hand without making any expression.However, Mrs. Du, Zhuangtou's wife, saw Aunt Shao handing over such a half smoke-gray ruler to Ning Wanzhu, she couldn't help but twitched the corners of her eyes.Miss Ning, since when did you use such Gebu material?Is this Aunt Shao worthy of using such a rough cloth for her own daughter?Du Shi thought about the rumors coming from Nanyang at present, and he believed it six to seven percent in his heart.

After distributing them to the inner courtyard, Aunt Shao went to the outer courtyard in person, and delivered the "boxing ceremony" to all the Zhuang Ding and servants in the outer courtyard one by one.However, the female relatives in the inner courtyard were repeatedly instructed to stay where they were, and after about three sticks of incense, Aunt Shao gave out all the rituals and announced that everyone could leave.From the beginning to the end, Qiu Yu and one or two capable mothers by Aunt Shao's side never appeared.

On the way back, Mo Mei called "Miss" in a low voice, but Ning Wanzhu shook her head and said to her, "We'll talk about everything when we go back."

When they arrived in the courtyard, Ning Wanzhu ordered people to close the door tightly, then looked at Mo Mei and asked, "What did you find?"

Mo Mei looked serious, and said, "When we were in the main courtyard, sister Amity Yu brought three or four maids to search the inner courtyard of Zhuangzi one by one, as if looking for someone."

This was expected by Ning Wanzhu, but she didn't expect that Aunt Shao would take advantage of the occasion of giving the boxing ceremony to ask the servants to do this.She nodded, thinking that Aunt Shao's move was quite clever, and if the ceremony could be carefully prepared, it would be even more difficult for people to see the flaws.

Mo Mei added another sentence, and said: "Miss, according to your instructions, the maid saw that there was no one in the aunt's yard, so she slipped in and looked around." As she spoke, she listened to Ning Wanzhu and said in a low voice A few words.

This is the strategy agreed upon by Ning Wanzhu and Mo Mei.Since Aunt Shao wanted to gather all the people in Ning's Zhuangzi to the main courtyard, Auntie Shao's own staff must be used to search for Zhuangzi.At this time, there must be no one on duty in Aunt Shao's own yard.Mo Mei is light and healthy, has kung fu, and is quick to see the opportunity. It is perfect for her to inquire.

Ning Wanzhu was taken aback, "Is this true?"

Mo Mei nodded, and said affirmatively: "Your maidservant is really serious, there are twelve gold ingots neatly stacked, there are at least a few hundred. In the gold cabinet, there are also several pairs of ruby ​​ingots. For the first time, the maidservant didn't pay attention to take a closer look, but I think it should be worth a lot of silver taels." Before Mo Mei came to Nanyang, she lived with Ye Momo in the palace, and she saw a lot of precious things, and she had a good eye, so Mo Mei May said it was worth a lot, so it was a lot of money.

Ning Wan and Zhu Yilin, she never thought that Aunt Shao was so rich.

"Have you noticed that there is a mahogany box in Auntie's room, and there are probably deed paper documents in it?" Ning Wanzhu frowned, recalling that Auntie Shao used a camphorwood box He threatened Yan Shi with his things, and forcibly prevented Yan Shi from taking him back to Nanyang.At that time, Aunt Shao was able to lift it lightly and deftly by herself, and it seemed that there would not be anything as heavy as gold and silver inside.The camphor wood box has always been used to hold documents and paper because it repells insects and mildew, so Ning Wanzhu asked this question.

Mo Mei thought about it for a while, and said: "The maidservant didn't stay in Auntie's inner room for a long time, but now that I think about it, I really seem to have seen such a box."

That's it, Ning Wanzhu secretly clenched his fist.She really wanted to know what Aunt Shao used to blackmail Yan Shi back then.She had an instinctive premonition that this object must be related to the mutual adjustment of the Ning family.

Mo Mei didn't dare to interrupt Ning Wanzhu's meditation, so she just kept silent. After a while, Mo Mei suddenly jumped up, rushed to the door of the room like a whirlwind, and opened the door with a "wow". .

Mo Lan's slightly frightened face appeared outside the door.

"Miss—" Mo Lan quickly put some playful smiles on her face.She knew that Ning Wanzhu was in Nanyang Mansion, and she still had to rely on her to inquire about many things, so she was not too afraid when Ning Wanzhu and Mo Mei found out that she was eavesdropping.

Ning Wanzhu walked out calmly, staring closely at Mo Lan with a pair of bright eyes, as if she wanted to see what Mo Lan was hiding.Mo Lan was still holding on at first, but then she couldn't stand Ning Wanzhu's eyes, her eyes shrank, and her whole body seemed to tremble slightly.

"Mo Lan," Ning Wanzhu said suddenly, "do you still remember what I told you when the two of us first arrived at the Zhuangzi?"

Mo Lan lowered her head and said, "Remember!"

How could she not remember that it was all because of Ning Wanzhu's insistence that day that the two of them were able to escape the catastrophe. Later Ning Wanzhu said: "If I am humiliated, you will have no good fruit to eat." Mo Lan knew that Ning Wanzhu said That's right, she has been by Ning Wanzhu's side all these years, and she knows a lot about the house. If the tree of Ning Wanzhu falls, she will have no shelter from the wind and rain. In the house, even if you can save your life, I'm afraid there will be no chance to come out again.

Thinking of this, Mo Lan knelt down with a "plop", and said, "Miss, please forgive Mo Lan, this servant is only curious for a while, and has absolutely no intention of inquiring about Miss's private affairs!"

Ning Wanzhu didn't say anything, Ren Molan knelt on the ground for half a stick of incense before changing into a pleasant expression, and said slowly: "Get up!"

Mo Lan had a happy expression on her face, and she quickly climbed up.

Unexpectedly, before she fully stood up, Ning Wanzhu suddenly spoke again, and said very seriously: "Now is an extraordinary time, not like when you were in Nanyang Mansion. If you really make something wrong at this time, don't blame me when the time comes Don't help me—"

Mo Lan heard Ning Wanzhu whisper, but there was a sense of deterrence in her words that was not commensurate with her age and status.Mo Lan was frightened, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

The so-called no coincidence, there was another heavy snowfall on the end of Dujia Village on New Year's Eve.As a result, the villagers of Dujia Village remembered this timely auspicious snow on Ning Wanzhu's head.Although it is extremely inconvenient to cover the mountains with heavy snow, the atmosphere in Du's Village is extremely lively this New Year's Day, and everyone is looking forward to a good year with good weather.The village head of Dujia Village also took out the good wine that had been hidden for many years, and invited the whole village to have a water mat in the courtyard of the village head's house after the snow stopped.

But Ning Wanzhu is not very clear about these.During the few days when the snow melted, the weather was extremely cold, so she happily nestled in her yard.Du Shi naturally arranged for the charcoal basins in each house to be warmed up. On this day when a drop of water turned into ice, Ning Wanzhu's little life was warm and harmonious.

After breaking five, the road from Dujia Village to Nanyang City will be open.

Unexpectedly, on the day when the road was opened, a middle-aged man came up to Ning's village. He called himself surnamed Pan. Someone from his family used to work at Lao Ning's house, so he came to visit relatives.

The most surprised person was Aunt Shao.When she heard the news, she trembled in her room for a long time.Zhuangtou Ning Yongqiang sent his wife Du Shi to ask Aunt Shao what she meant.Aunt Shao didn't even think about it at first, and then said: "Go out, where is this place where people can join relatives casually?"

Mrs. Du is a straightforward person, and when he heard this, he let out an "ah" and walked out.Unexpectedly, Aunt Shao stopped her again and said, "Let me think about it—"

Following Aunt Shao, she sat on the chair of the Eight Immortals, twisting a piece of handkerchief in her hand, which was almost torn, before she said to Mrs. Du: "Let's settle in the front yard, it's not easy in this cold weather."

This man surnamed Pan seems to be a businessman, he is very good at chatting up people, within a short period of time, he has known all the men in the front yard of Ningjia Zhuangzi, especially Ning Yongqiang, the head of the village. Almost on the verge of calling each other brothers.

Aunt Shao sent Qiu Yu to find a way to entrust her "friend" named Da Zhuang to find out what the businessman surnamed Pan was talking about with the people in Ning's village.

Qiu Yu was stunned for a long time, and like her master, she twisted the handkerchief in her hand until she told Aunt Shao that she didn't like the big man very much, and the two had already broken up a few days ago Now, asking her to seek help from others seems to be posted upside down, and Qiu Yu finds it difficult to do so.

However, Aunt Shao stared at her eyes and said angrily: "Your wings are so hard that you want to fly, don't you? When you and your parents were doing those lowly labors in Shao's house, who came forward to help you? Now... now things are over. Now, you can just pretend that these things are in the past and you can forget about them, right?"

Qiu Yu's face turned pale, and in desperation, she could only bow her knees to Aunt Shao and said, "I know I was wrong, I will go now."

She quickly inquired about the news and came back, reporting to Aunt Shao: "The businessman surnamed Pan chatted very warmly with Zhuangtou and Zhuang Ding, and the slaves heard what they were talking about about the 'back valley'. Auntie, Is there a valley behind this Du Family Village?"

Aunt Shao was drinking tea when she heard this. After hearing this, a blue-and-white porcelain teacup with rich and noble lotus patterns in her hand fell on the ground and fell to pieces. The tea inside splashed out and spilled everywhere.

Aunt Shao, on the other hand, was white in color, sitting on the chair without moving, not even aware that the hot water had wet her clothes.

Qiu Yu saw the opportunity very quickly, and immediately started to clean up.I only heard Aunt Shao murmuring repeatedly: "The back valley, the back valley, it is clearly the bone of the back mountain!"

But Qiu Yu said this on purpose.Why didn't she know that this "back mountain bone" was the most popular among the rumors about the two concubines in Lining Mansion the day before yesterday!
