After all, she was just a slut, so she couldn't just mobilize the officers and soldiers to make up for their family's fortunes.

It's better to check it first and then make a decision.

How to investigate?

Xu Jiaojiao asked the others to hide first. She took off some more expensive ornaments, changed the outer robe to a simple one, and then made her hair a little messy, and then took her little son to settle down.

Go and knock on the door.

She naturally heard Liao Qing say about Sun Ding and was quite sympathetic to this kid's experience.

But this kid is also very clever and is a good material to make.

This time we will join forces and try it out.

!!

Sun Ding ran over and knocked on the door first.

No movement.

Sun Ding knocked again, the door opened, an old man who looked like a housekeeper stuck his head out, looked at Xu Jiaojiao and the others, and then looked behind them.

Then he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at him.

Although the old man looked very slow, she could see that he was pretending.

There was a thick layer of calluses on his finger joints.

People who work for a long time also have calluses, but most of their calluses are on the palms and on the inner side of the joints.

But this old man, with the cocoon on the outside, is obviously a trainer!

Xu Jiaojiao was alert, but she didn't show any sign of her face, and said, "We are from other places and came to visit relatives, but the relatives here have not arrived for a long time, and we don't know where to go. My nephew is thirsty, want to

I wonder if it’s convenient to ask for a glass of water?”

The old man frowned, obviously not happy,

But the reason for "requesting for a glass of water" is very common and is a matter that cannot be even smaller. If you refuse, you must have a problem!

The old man had to open the door a little more and let Xu Jiaojiao and the others go in.

When Xu Jiaojiao came in, she found that this house was quite unusual. It looked ordinary outside, but this time she came in was a different place, at least it was much more generous than Jin Yuming's private house I had just seen.

As soon as you enter the door, there are grinding bricks and octaves with eight-character screens, two doors and four vermilion screens are sprinkled with stars, square bricks are paved with the floor, glazed tiles and sea walls, and some trees and potted plants are planted, front and back from the corridor,

There are two living rooms in the east and west wing rooms, equipped rooms, ear rooms, cross-yard rooms, and study rooms.

There is a large rosewood marble case with rosewood chairs on both sides. There are four treasures of study on the table, and the brushes are almost covered with two large rows of pen holders. There are many famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, such as landscapes, beauties, fans, and pairs.

There are also some ornaments, such as coral, bonsai, wine pottery, flower bags...

How can this be an ordinary house?

This is the standard configuration for the homes of the top-rated officials!

In this moment, Xu Jiaojiao was almost relieved. If Hou Xiaoliu did not recognize the wrong person, then this place would definitely be Jin Yuming's second home!

Maybe an outdoor room?

No matter what it is, she is right this time!

"Dafu, who is here?"

A middle-aged beautiful woman in her thirties and forties came over.

Xu Jiaojiao said first: "Madam, we are passing by here to ask for saliva."

The woman glanced at Defu, told him to pour tea, and asked Xu Jiaojiao and the others to sit down.

"My surname is Xu, this is my nephew. Thank you for your wife this time. How dare you ask her wife for her surname?" Xu Jiaojiao, as an uninvited guest, first introduced herself.

"Miss, please call me Mrs. Zhu." The woman said.

"It turns out to be Mrs. Zhu." Xu Jiaojiao nodded, "Mrs. Zhu is dignified and generous, elegant and elegant. She didn't expect to live in such a remote place. She is really a scattered sea!"

How a person looks and where he lives has no causal relationship. She is just nonsense.

But since you come in, you have to talk about something. It’s impossible to sit there, right?

It is normal to chat about family matters, but what he said is a little abrupt, but Xu Jiaojiao is not here to please others. As long as it is not too much, she will say it if she wants to.

She just came to drink a sip of water, and it was impossible for her to stay for a long time, thinking that she would have to get some news.

Mrs. Zhu smiled faintly, "Miss Xu is too good."

Is this over?

I have praised you for a few words!

Xu Jiaojiao complained secretly and had to ask again:

"Your mansion looks quite particular, I wonder where the head of the family is taller?"

"Miss is wrong. My husband is just a businessman who travels all day long and is not an official. Fortunately, he has not been in vain for years and has just had a little bit of income."

Mrs. Zhu did not hesitate and answered Xu Jiaojiao's words familiarly, as if she had answered such questions many times before.

Whether you read it wrong or not doesn't matter, it's just an introduction to the conversation.

However, Mrs. Zhu said that her husband was a businessman, which really surprised Xu Jiaojiao.

She looked at the very large and conspicuous desk of the book,

Is this a scholar who has been delayed by the stinking of money?

There were various calligraphy works on the desk, more than a dozen precious inkstones, various pen holders, and the brushes inserted in the pen were like trees. She never thought that the owner was a businessman.

Of course, an aspiring businessman who loves calligraphy or painting is nothing wrong with it, and no one can say anything.

Sun Ding relied on his young age to look here and there.

This is also the reason why Xu Jiaojiao brought him here. As a stranger, she could not have looked around when she came to other people's houses. Sun Ding was still a boy, and he couldn't sit still. He walked around and took a look.

It's nothing.

"This really surprised me, but my husband should be a well-educated man. I rarely see so many calligraphy and paintings elsewhere. Is he not at home now?"

"I said that he rarely stays at home. He has been out for more than a month." Mrs. Zhu replied.

While talking about gossip, Xu Jiaojiao secretly observed Mrs. Zhu's reaction and found that Mrs. Zhu was a little anxious.

What are you anxious about?

Is something big happening at home?

She listened carefully and found nothing unusual?

At this time, the housekeeper Defu came in with tea. When he saw Sun Ding running around, he couldn't help but frown:

"Brother, be careful, don't run around, be careful of falling."

Xu Jiaojiao was a little strange.

Although this sounds like good intentions, it is actually the opposite. Because they are not familiar with each other, this means dissatisfaction and blame.

Xu Jiaojiao thanked him for the tea, stood up, pretending to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings.

But I found that almost all the famous calligraphy and paintings.

"Zun Hu loves calligraphy and painting so much, why don't he have his own calligraphy and treasures?"

Xu Jiaojiao was drinking tea leisurely, watching and asking as if nothing had happened.

In theory, if there are so many equipment on the desk, you must be interested in writing and painting, and you will basically have certain attainments. Otherwise, it will become a show-off, wouldn’t it be a joke?

I love calligraphy and painting, and have good attainments. According to principles, I have one or two proud works hanging on the wall.

But she didn't find it, or she had it already, but she didn't find it?

Mrs. Zhu said: "The works of a man are hard to be elegant, and there is no one here."
