Chapter 142

Jin Xiaoxiao stops, turns his head and glances at LAN Ning. He asks in a cold voice, "do you think clearly?"

LAN Ning's face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled slightly, and her tears rolled in her eyes. She bit her lower lip hard, and for a long time, she gently nodded her head as if she had summoned up her courage.

Jin Xiaoxiao turned back and sat down on the edge of the Kang with relief. He glanced at her as if he didn't want to. He opened his lips slowly and asked in a cold voice: "I know the man who took the lead in smashing the restaurant."

She slightly Dunshou, with eyes to encourage LAN Ning to continue to say.

LAN Ning took a deep breath. Maybe her body was in pain, and her face became more and more pale.

Subconsciously, she clenched the quilt on her leg and blinked. Tears rolled down. Jin Xiaoxiao took out the handkerchief in her sleeve and handed it to LAN Ning.

LAN Ning took the handkerchief and gently wiped her cheek. She slowly raised her eyes, and her eyes were full of tears. She looked at Jin Xiaoxiao with empty eyes.

After a while, LAN Ning breathed out a long breath and said: "he, he, he is the little master of Peony Pavilion."

Peony Pavilion?!

That's the name Jin Xiao * heard.

She stared at LAN Ning's eyes and said softly: "where is the Peony Pavilion?"

LAN Ning frowned slightly, and glanced at Jin Xiaoxiao with a slight sarcasm in her eyes. It seemed that she was saying: "a bumpkin who has never seen the world."

Jin Xiaoxiao doesn't know that he is despised by LAN Ning.

She nodded and motioned LAN Ning to continue.

LAN Ning said: "in Cangzhou, in addition to the first floor, it belongs to the Peony Pavilion. Business is booming. The sauce elbows of the Peony Pavilion are famous in the capital. Even lady Bai of Cangzhou is very fond of them."

Mrs. white?!

When Jin Xiaoxiao heard this address, he suddenly frowned. He couldn't help thinking of the beautiful middle-aged woman in his mind.

LAN Ning continued: "the owner of the Peony Pavilion, whose surname is Zhang Huanzhi, once worked as a cook in my master's palace. They used to live in the same hometown. After entering the palace, they took care of each other. However, my master's cooking skill was better than his. Zhang Huanzhi was dissatisfied with my master. Gradually, they had a quarrel."

"Cough..."

Xu is because he speaks faster, LAN Ning suddenly coughs.

Choi Chi gently followed her back and said in a soft voice, "drink some water first and speak slowly."

LAN Ning's smile was more ugly than crying. He took a sip of the tea and said, "later, they quit their jobs in the imperial dining room and went back to Cangzhou to open a restaurant. It's just that the business of Zhang's Peony Pavilion is not as good as that of our first floor, and he often comes to find something unpleasant, but I didn't expect that they should“

With that, LAN Ning covered her face with a handkerchief and burst into tears, as if she wanted to release the emotion she had repressed during this period of time.

Hearing this, Jin Xiaoxiao seems to understand something, but what she doesn't understand is why Zhang Yichu died on the way back to Cangzhou.

At first, Jin Xiaoxiao doubted whether the death of Zhang Yichu was related to Tang Jie. But now, it seems that there is something else in it.

However, she didn't understand that in order to grab business, she had to kill people?

After pondering a little, Jin Xiaoxiao lifted up her skirt and slowly got up: "today, after talking for a while, you must be tired too. During this period of time, you and uncle LAN will stay with me and keep them carefully."

With that, Jin Xiaoxiao waved to Caizhi and left the backyard.

……

As the day went by, it was hot and tight. Jin Xiaoxiao was sitting in a big locust tree in the backyard, playing a fan.

Just after seeing off the doctor, she learned about LAN Ning's injury and had to keep it for two or three months. Caizhi was cooking medicine in the back kitchen. After a while, the yard was full of soup.

In recent days, Jin Xiaoben has been a little unhappy. When he smelled the smell, he just felt that his stomach had been stirred up for a long time. It was disgusting.

She ate half a catty of sour apricots in a row, which eased a little.

After giving LAN Ning the medicine, Caizhi came out of the inner room and saw that Jin Xiaoxiao was carrying a plate of sour apricots. Then she said, "no matter how delicious the apricots are, you can't eat them any more. Just watch carefully for acid reflux in your stomach."

Gold small discovery, this wench recently more and more wordy tight.

Caizhi abruptly took the dried apricot from her hand and handed her a bowl of cow's cheese: "it's new made by Er Niu Ge."

With a smile, Jin Xiao scooped up a spoon and tasted it: "it's delicious. Give Miss LAN Ning a bowl."

"Miss“ Caizhi squatted in front of Jin Xiaoxiao and blinked a pair of clear and bright apricot eyes. It seemed that she glanced at the room unintentionally: "I always think this lanning girl is strange, but I can't say anything strange."

"Ha ha." With a smile, Jin Xiaoxiao put down the bowl in his hand, and gently hit a violent chestnut on Caizhi's forehead. He said with a smile, "you've knocked out her idea."

Caizhi blinked: "you mean, she and we are hiding our hearts?"

"Not us, but me."

When talking, Jin Xiaoxiao took advantage of Caizhi, a small woman who didn't pay attention, directly grabbed a sour apricot with his hand and threw it into his mouth. He felt the sour and sweet spread in his mouth, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Caizhi hit her hand: "otherwise, I'll help you to inquire“

"No“ Jin Xiaoxiao shook his head slightly and said, "I've asked Shitou to find Constable Zhao. Before curfew today, I'm going to Cangzhou."

"Are you going to Cangzhou?" Choi Chi suddenly stood up, and her voice was involuntarily raised.

Jin Xiaoxiao quickly went to pull her, put her finger on her lips, and made a movement of silence: "keep it down, don't listen to her."

Caizhi quickly covered her mouth, squatted down again, lowered her voice, and said, "it will take three or two days to go to Cangzhou. We are not ready. We are so rash..."

Jin Xiaoxiao stretched out a finger and shook it gently in front of Caizhi: "you're wrong again. It's not us. It's me this time."

"You're going by yourself!" Caizhi suddenly got up, and her voice was a little louder.

Jin Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed her: "I went with Constable Zhao and asked Uncle sun. It happened that the sun family's horse team was going to Cangzhou, so we went together."

She glanced at LAN Ning on the Kang and said, "you have to watch me carefully these days when I'm away. No matter what LAN Ning does, you have to wait for me to come back."

"What do you mean, young lady?" Caizhi is quite confused, subconsciously looking back.
