bright moon goes west

Jichun has been hiding in the cellar of "Li Ji Rice Shop" for the past few days.

Mi Niangzi, the storekeeper of Li Ji, is a woman in her 40s. She was a widow at a young age. Her husband did not leave her a son and a half. The first floor sells food, and the second floor is for living.

When Mi Niangzi was a widow, she was young and beautiful, and she was in charge of the big business by herself. There were times when hooligans and scoundrels came to harass her, but she was hot-tempered, and she pulled out a simple knife from behind the counter on the spot. According to the person, he chopped off a bloody right leg of the rascal.The rascal's family came to make trouble, Mi Niangzi threw out a hundred silver dollars directly, and his family took the silver dollars and left happily. On the contrary, the rascal's right leg festered and was left unattended, and he died soon after.

The family tasted the sweetness and brought the rogue's body to make trouble. Mi Niangzi threw out another hundred silver dollars and hired a gang of idle sweats to beat up the rogue's house, and spilled two large buckets of black dog blood on the door.The family didn't expect a little lady to be so vicious, and she didn't have the courage to make trouble anymore.

Since then, the Liji rice shop on Shuangshi Street has become a place that hooligans and rascals dare not mess with.

Mi Niangzi guarded the Liji rice shop for ten years, during which time she sent her grandfather and parents away. No one on Shuangshi Street knew that Mi Niangzi was from the Cui family. Her grandfather Li Yi was the son of the Cui family. No one knows that Mi Niangzi's surname is not Mi, but Li.No one even knew that Mi Niangzi's husband was recruited in.

If Jichun hadn't come to the door with the token of Cui's family, Mi Niangzi always thought that she would spend this life with mixed joys and sorrows and no surprises in a very ordinary way.

That was six days ago, Mi Niangzi closed the shop and went to the wing room on the second floor. She was about to fall asleep when she heard someone knock on the door. Mi Niangzi put on her coat and hid a dagger in her sleeve. On the first floor, Mi Niangzi was very vigilant, she didn't pull the latch, but asked in a low voice through the door: "Who?"

A deliberately low voice came from behind the door panel, no man or woman could be heard: "The Cui family."

Mi Niangzi was startled, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have a token?"

The man with a black glove handed over a piece of paper through the crack of the door, Mi Niangzi took a look at the oil lamp in her hand, it was printed with the emblem of the Cui family.Mi Niangzi opened the door, and a figure in a black suit who wrapped herself tightly came in.

Mi Niangzi later found out that this mysterious person who wrapped herself up so that she could not tell the difference between male and female was the maid of Cui's family, and she had been serving by the side of the young marshal's wife, the aunt who married Cui's parents.What's more, this servant girl also brought a shocking bad news, that the young marshal's wife who was held in the palms of the Cui family's family like a rare pearl was missing!
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the small courtyard behind the grain shop, and Mi Niangzi withdrew her thoughts. She blew out the lights in the shop and went to the backyard with the oil lamp in her hand. After checking to make sure no one was peeping, someone sneaked into one of the warehouses.

"Mi Niangzi, there is already turmoil in the city of Jinli. I don't know when the enemy will attack the door." Jichun picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a full glass of water, ignoring the usual housekeeper. The rules taught by Mammy raised her head and poured it down.

"Young girl is sweating, and she ran outside for another day. Did you find any news about our young lady?" Mi Niangzi came to the basin wrapped in a brass shelf, twisted a wet handkerchief, and handed Wipe Jichun's face.

Jichun shook his head and smiled wryly: "There is still no news about the young lady." Then he said as if to comfort himself: "No news is good news, but I am a little surprised by the reaction of the Chen family. Sister Mi, do you know who Chen Ji, the fourth master of the Chen family is? What kind of person?"

Mi Niangzi's grandfather was a talent selected by the Cui family to take care of various businesses in Jinli City. Mi Niangzi was as shrewd as her grandfather.She cared more about the big and small news inside and outside Jinlu city than anyone else, and the question of sending spring did not bother her.

"Chen Ji is a man of elegance and culture. He likes to collect gold and stone calligraphy and paintings. He is smart and capable but indifferent to fame and fortune. The commander-in-chief asked him to work in the government several times, but Chen Ji refused."

Jichun was slightly taken aback: "So this Master Chen Si seems like a good man."

Mi Niangzi didn't dare to make judgments, but continued: "Chen Ji is very good to the two children, but for some reason, the relationship with his wife is not so good. It may be because Chen Ji is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, so he doesn't care about the relationship between men and women. Xin, he is also the only one in the Chen family who does not take concubines."

"Doting on children but not caring about his wife, obsessed with calligraphy and painting but being smart and capable and proficient in general affairs, Sister Mi said so, I think Chen Ji is not a simple person."

Mi Niangzi smiled: "Naturally, otherwise the commander-in-chief would not be at ease in handing over the big family business of Jin L City to the Fourth Master Chen. However, this Fourth Master is benevolent, upright, gentle, humble, low-key, and introverted." , Talking and doing things are very in line with the way of a gentleman, and getting along with him is simply like a spring breeze. In Jinlu City, no one says that this fourth master is not good. "

Jichun is a taciturn character, but she is not dull. On the contrary, she is wise and shrewd by nature, but she is diligent, low-key, not sociable, not pushy, and likes to hide her clumsiness, so she has never been conspicuous.

It's just that Heng'e suddenly had an accident, and Fei Qiong, who had always been the most trusted by Heng'e and able to take care of herself, disappeared together with Heng'e. Jichun was worried about the safety of her master, so she couldn't be lazy anymore, and grew up rapidly in an afternoon. up.

After listening to Mi Niangzi's comments on Chen Ji, although Mi Niangzi tried not to be personal, Jichun still heard something different, and she raised her lips mockingly: "This fourth master seems to be a complete Like a human being, such a perfect person only reminds me of Wang Mang, who is treacherous and loyal."

Mi Niangzi is also a person who has read books.

Before Wang Mang stole the imperial power of the Western Han Dynasty, he lived a simple and humble life.Moreover, he was diligent and studious, and studied "The Analects of Confucius" under the tutelage of Chen Shen of Peijun.He served his mother and widowed sister-in-law, raised his elder brother's son, and behaved rigorously.He made friends with sages abroad, and served his uncles and uncles at home. He was very considerate, and often distributed his salary to diners and common people. He almost became a moral model at that time, and he was also deeply loved by the people.It was such a person who ended up stealing the world of the Han family.

Jichun's sudden mention of Wang Mang was not aimless, at least not with Mi Niangzi.

"What is the girl's success?" Although Jichun is young, Mi Niangzi watched her behavior these days and did not dare to underestimate her, but wanted to hear Jichun's thoughts.

Jichun took a deep breath, her mood has been stretched into a bowstring these days, and she is almost 12 times cautious. The Chen family, including Chen Yanru, Jichun does not trust, as for Manager Xu and his wife, Jichun is also Dubious.

Mi Niangzi asked her thoughts, she has not found any clues now, and where did she get it.On the other hand, Chen Ji, since the young lady disappeared, Chen Ji has been actively looking for the whereabouts of the young lady, which means digging three feet into the ground.Jichun had a premonition that Chen Ji was a drunkard who didn't want to drink, so he must have ulterior motives.The most urgent task is to find the young lady before the Chen family. In addition, as soon as possible, find out the cloud of suspicion that hangs over the Chen residence.

"Sister Mi, no matter what, let's contact our people as soon as possible. This is a big matter. Although it's better to be quiet than to move, but time waits for no one, and we can't delay any longer."

A trace of hesitation appeared on Mi Niangzi's face, and her voice was somewhat uncertain: "Do you really have to do this?"

"Otherwise?" Jichun took a long breath. The pressure on her body was greater than that of Mi Niangzi, and the matter was of great importance. Once this decision was made, there would be no turning back.Jichun simply cannot bear the consequences of making a wrong decision, but the current situation is imminent.

Jichun's fingers hidden in her long sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, her eyes darkened, and her voice was firmer than before: "Sister Mi, immediately send someone to open the internal warehouse, raid the commander's mansion at night, and arrest Chen Ji first." Let's talk about it later, as for whether he is loyal or traitor, if I wrong him, I will pay for his life. If he is not wronged..." Jichun coldly made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Raiding the commander-in-chief's mansion, and even kidnapping Mr. Chen Si, any action can break the sky of Jin Lchengcheng!Mi Niangzi didn't expect that a little girl like Jichun, who looks delicate and soft on the outside, would be so ruthless. Mi Niangzi smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart, she was really old, not as good as a little girl.

But after a while, Mi Niangzi supported Jichun's decision: "Okay, Miss Jichun, I will arrange people right now. As for the details of the action, we have to think about it."

In a three-story white single-story building in Yuhua Lane, Zhang Miaoyin changed into a milky white silk nightgown after taking a shower, and was just about to go to bed when a servant knocked on the door of her bedroom: "Miss, Young Master Chen is here."

Ever since Chen Xi married Cui Heng'e, some members of the Zhang family felt that Zhang Miaoyin had no hope of marrying into the Chen family. On the surface, they still looked affectionate and affectionate, but in private they sneered at Zhang Miaoyin. After Zhang Miaoyin missed the flowering period, this The sound became more and more intense.Zhang Miaoyin was impatient to hear these people gossip, so she moved to Zhang's property in Yuhua Lane, an American-style villa.

Listening to the servant's report, Zhang Miaoyin glanced at the Western wall clock hanging on the wall, it was already nine o'clock, what is Chen Yan doing here at this time!She hid the barely visible trace of disgust between her brows, and put on an elegant smiling face. The woman in the mirror had black hair like a waterfall, her brows were worried, but there was a slight smile on her lips, which could be regarded as a sentence of innocence. Such as chrysanthemum.Zhang Miaoyinmei~ There was a trace of satisfaction in her eyes, and she left the room.

Downstairs, Chen Yan had just finished drinking a cup of tea, and the servant wanted to refill him, but Chen Yan refused with a gesture.

Half an hour had passed since the servant went up to ask Zhang Miaoyin to meet the guest.

Chen Yan hid the coldness in his eyes, Zhang Miaoyin, a woman, always likes to take Joe!Qiao Zhang's workmanship is disgusting!
