Luo Sheng returned to the attic, and Xie Wan was surrounded by Luo Ju and others in a circle and listened to the paraphrasing.

Luo Yi didn't know when he volunteered to buy fresh and sweet crisp pears from the melon and fruit shop opposite the ground. Shen Tian peeled the pear, and Luo Mo took a knife to cut the pear meat into beautiful and well-proportioned small corners, and then took toothpicks and inserted them into the plate.

Yufang frowned and wiped the pear juice on her hand, talking about the embarrassment of Party B of Ningda. Even Li Ershun, who was next to the Zhao county magistrate, fanned the fire in the fumigation furnace from the side. A bunch of guys' dog legs are simply outrageous.

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "The girl came forward to clean up Ning Er Shao, so there was a few more business in the shop."

Xie Wan just couldn't suppress that blood, but he really didn't think that it would bring any other benefits. She turned the toothpick on her hand, listened to the voices of the people in the cupboard below, and couldn't help laughing. "That jade is worth at least forty or fifty taels of silver. We robbed it and sold it so cheaply. I'm afraid Ning Dayi won't be able to swallow it easily."

Luo Ju said in a good mood, "What are you afraid of?! His Ning family doesn't have the ability to compete with the Xie family. Even if there is, we will definitely make him unable to move the girl!"

Xie Wan turned his head and said to Li Ershun, who echoed repeatedly, "Go back. If you have anything to do in the future, just leave a message to Manager Luo. Don't wait for me."

Li Ershun, who had been pinched by her, saw that she was not only cruel, but also very good at being a scoundrel. Even the people who were used to the Ning family dared to provoke her without changing their face. They had been trembling and confused about her. I don't know how deep she is. How dare The underground building left.

After enjoying everyone's attention, Xie Wan also asked Luo Ju to pick up the cloth and go back home.

Back in the house, she asked Yuxue to send the wrapped silk cloth to Xie Qi, and then asked Yufang to send the two pieces of tobacco gauze to Xie Wei.

The reply from Jingshi hasn't come yet, and Xie Wan is a little anxious. Yu Xue comforted her: "It will take three or four days to come back and forth. If we haven't contacted the Jin family for so many years, Lord Jin can't help but be surprised to receive a letter. He always has to think about it for two days to write. Wait and see."

Xie Wan will wait and see.

After counting the days, Xie Lang's trial period was approaching on February 14. In the past few days, in addition to the school, Xie Lang is a study. He even ate in the room and didn't see anyone at all. So much so that he didn't go to Xie Qi's birthday on the seventh day of the first lunar month.

Wang gave five taels of silver and asked Ruan to give Xie Qizhi a birthday lunch, and invited his brothers and sisters to play in the garden.

Xie Wan heard earlier that there were other small guests in the house, which was expected to refer to Ren Jun, so it was dragged to three poles on the sun to cross the Qifengyuan. When I passed by the second gate, I didn't see Ren's carriage in the yard. When I went to the second room, I saw that Xie Qi was also looking at the Prime Minister at the gate of the courtyard. It turned out that Ren Jun didn't come!

Xie Wan suddenly felt at ease and happily had a birthday dinner with Xie Qi.

Xie Qi's face has been covered with clouds. Xie Wan knew it well. After dinner, everyone played for a while and then went back to the Summer House.

The next morning, she was sewing in the room, but Yu Xue came in and said, "Mrs. Ren and the third son came into the house."

Xie Wan paused when he heard the words. He didn't come to Xie Qi's birthday, but he came the next day?

Mrs. Ren, in her forties, dressed as a common middle-aged rich woman, sat in the flower hall in the main courtyard and responded to Wang's inquiry with a smile.

"...I've wanted to come and talk to my wife for a long time, but I haven't been idle. In the morning, I heard from the housekeeper that yesterday was the birthday of the second girl in the house, and my wife also asked me to pick up Jun's brother and sister Xin to go to the house, but it happened to be very The second girl apologized, and the second came to the door.

Wang Shimei smiled and said, "Madam, it's just that the children are looking for a hustle and bustle. They also want Brother Jun to come to our house to play for some days, so he went to pick him up and play for two days. If you make a gift, you can't afford it, but if you come to the door, you are very welcome!"

Mrs. Ren smiled and took a small box from the maid's hand and said, "The princes and girls in the house are all good-looking. I happen to have the pearl flowers brought by my aunt from the capital. It looks exquisite. Bring it here for the second girl to play!"

Ruan sat aside with Xie Qi and saw two lilies stringed with rice-sized pearls in the box. He suddenly couldn't close his mouth. He got up and said, "Madam really looks up to our chess girl. How can this be done? Sister Qi, why don't you kowtow to your wife?

It's not a maid. If you get two beads, you have to kowtow with others, and you will lose your identity in vain. Mrs. Ren looked at the corners of her eyes and couldn't hide the joy. Xie Qi, who got up and kowtowed, didn't say anything, but Wang couldn't help but move her eyebrows and cleared her throat.

Ruan didn't know what he had done wrong, and he was afraid that the atmosphere would be embarrassed. Seeing Ren Jun sitting silently aside, not as flexible and lively as before, he smiled and said, "The third prince is coming to the house this time, do you want to stay and play for a few more days?"

Ren Jun didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to him, his body was shocked. He subconsciously looked up at Mrs. Ren and squeezed his lower lip. Mrs. Ren looked back at him, and it was hard to hide her eyes.

Wang was very good at observing words and colors. Seeing this, he knew that Mrs. Ren's visit was not as simple as visiting, so he said to Ruan, "Go down and tell the big kitchen and ask them to cut off one leg of the newly slaughtered deer in front of them. It's easy to cook. Mrs. Ren won't

Ruan was worried that he didn't know how to get out. Hearing this, he hurried out of the door.

Xie Qi didn't want to leave. He took the dough fan and sat on the brocade next to Wang's family.

Mrs. Ren also said to Ren Jun, "Didn't you say you missed Brother Yun and others? Go ahead."

Ren Jun stood up and went out of the door honestly.

As soon as he went out, Xie Qi naturally found an excuse to go out.

When Wang saw the two people who left the front and back feet, he smiled and sighed, "It's really two little guesses."

Mrs. Ren's face was facing out of the door, and there was a smile on the corners of her lips, but her eyes were very deep.

"Madam, try this tea, the new tea produced this year in our southern tea garden." Wang smiled and stretched out her hand to Mrs. Ren.

Mrs. Ren lowered her head and took a sip and praised, "It's really good tea. The fragrance is fragrant, and the fragrance is left in the mouth.

Wang Shi smiled and said, "This batch of tea is not large because it was picked early. I only have five or six pounds here. Later, I asked someone to wrap two catties, and my wife also took it back for Mr. Ren to taste. With that, he called Su Luo and ordered him to go down.

Mrs. Ren put down the tea bowl and smiled gently, "Madam really doesn't treat me like an outsider. It's just that tea is the second. I'm here today, but I have a small matter to ask my wife for a favor.

Wang knew that this was the point, so he said, "Madam, it's okay to say it."

Mrs. Ren said, "It's a little difficult to say, but it's because our two families are so good that I dare to open this. Our brother has been wearing a piece of jade on his body. A few days ago, I suddenly found that I had not seen him wear it for a long time. When I asked him, he first said that he had put it in the room. But after a while, I still found that he didn't wear it, so I asked the people around him. People around him said that they had never seen this jade since he came back from Xie's house.

"I just felt something was wrong and called him to ask in detail. He couldn't stand it, so he said that he had fallen into your house. Today, I want to ask my wife to help me ask the people below, but where did our brother accidentally drop it and let someone pick it up? If you really pick it up, please return it to us, and we will naturally reward you with a lot of money.

Wang was shocked and said, "Is there such a thing? Can you tell me more about what kind of jade it looks like?

"It's a piece of auspicious cloud-shaped jade." Mrs. Ren apologized and said, "Originally, with the family background of our two families, although it is not as good as the rich and powerful family, it is not inferior to a piece of jade. It's just that this jade has a lot of history. When our old lady originally passed by, Chengnan's concubine's mother gave her a piece of jade. On the one hand, she dared not lose it from the palace, and on the other hand, it was an heirloom, and she did not dare to leave easily, so she brazenly came

The Empress Dowager Nan is the concubine of the Emperor Taizong and the aunt of Master Ren. The Concubine Nan did not give birth to children, so the Ren family did not enter the nobles of Later Qi. Yu ** said to the imperial court that the southern concubine was nothing, but after all, she was the wife of the inner palace. The Ren family has always regarded the imperial concubine as the glory of the family.

Now the jade given by the relatives is lost in Xie's house, especially the relationship between the two families is so close that the Wang family naturally can't neglect it.

Then he said, "Madam, don't worry, I'll ask someone to cross-exagate carefully." He called Tuesday and his wife and went on his behalf: "Ask one by one, ask carefully! If there is anything to hide without reporting, pull it out and fight!"

This battle is worthy of the Ren family.

Mrs. Ren hurriedly said, "Just cross-examination, don't hurt others"

While the Wang family invited tea, she remembered what she had said before. In this way, it seems that they were absent from Xie Qi's birthday yesterday, but that they were afraid of spoiling Xie Qi's interest and deliberately avoiding this day. It's just that Ren Junming knew that this jade was so important, but he refused to tell his parents, but it was strange.

Then he said warmly, "It has been two months since this time. If I had known this happened, Brother Jun would have told us how good it would have been."

Mrs. Ren sighed, "What Madam said. If I don't ask, I'm afraid he will keep hiding it. The children don't know the importance, but they don't know how much trouble they will cause if the family's things are lost.

Generally speaking, family gifts will not be easily delivered except for their own family members, except when the children are in the agreement.

When Mrs. Ren said that, Wang's heart was amazed. Ruan had mentioned Xie Qi's heart Xu Renjun many times. She usually saw Xie Qi's dependence on Ren Jun, but she always felt that they were still young and didn't think much about it. Now that Ren Jun has lost his jade and kept it hidden, what does this mean? Is it possible that he secretly gave the jade to Xie Qi?
