Peach branch looked at the embroidered shoes and said thoughtfully: "this shoe looks familiar?"

"Have you seen it?" Bi'er asked.

Tao Zhi scratched his head: "it seems that I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember..."

Bi'er asked quickly, "do you think you've seen it in the mansion? Is she a servant of the house? "

"I..." Peach branch felt familiar, but for a while his head stuck.

Bi'er said: "it doesn't matter if I can't remember. The young lady said, let everyone try it on and take the fitting one to Tongyuan for investigation."

Peach branch way: "that I report a madam."

"What's the matter?" Ji Shuang came out of the room.

Bi'er saluted: "fourth lady."

Uncle Qin asked Qin Jiao to go back to her room, and she went to Ji Shuang. Ji Shuang looked in the direction where he came and said, "I just saw Jiao Jiao. Is she back?"

Uncle Qin's eyes brightened: "I'm back, but There seems to be something wrong

"What's the matter?" Ji Shuang asked.

Uncle Qin said, "that shoe belongs to Qin Jiao."

During the conversation, bi'er came over with her shoes and said to the second humanitarian: "madam, uncle, the master has just been injured by an assassin. These are the shoes dropped by the assassin. The young lady is looking for the owner of the shoes."

Qin Jiao opened a crack in the door, aiming at the situation outside from the crack.

Ji Shuang looks at Qin Jiao's door. Qin Jiao closes the door quickly.

Ji Shuang said to bi'er, "wait for me outside."

"Yes."

Bil, step back.

Ji Shuang turns her head and looks at Uncle Qin unhappily. "How did she beat my elder brother?"

Uncle Qin said: "elder brother Qin Jiao is innocent. How can he fight elder brother? There must be some misunderstanding. "

"Misunderstanding? No misunderstanding can hurt my elder brother! " Ji Shuang respects this elder brother very much in her heart. When she learned that Xun LAN had harmed her elder brother, she wanted to tear Xun LAN up. Although Qin Jiao is the sister of Uncle Qin, it's still unacceptable to do such a thing.

Uncle Qin whispered, "wait for me here. I'll ask Qin Jiao."

Ji frost nodded faintly, uncle Qin went.

I can't tell why her husband and sister were in the same room, but she was a little uncomfortable.

Soon, uncle Qin came out of the room.

"What did she say?" Ji Shuang asked angrily.

Uncle Qin sighed: "she said that the elder brother drank too much wine and held her tightly. In order to get away, she hurt him in a hurry."

Ji Shuang coldly rolled a white eye: "so I blame my elder brother?"? My elder brother has drunk too much. Won't she call someone? Who hurts people when they're happy? Didn't she think about the consequences? What if I kill my elder brother? "

Uncle Qin took Ji Shuang's hand and sighed bitterly: "you see, that's why I want to solve my sister's problem by myself. She is a small woman who doesn't know anything. When she comes to a big house, she will only make trouble. Even the new servant in the house can guess that the elder brother is not easy to be provoked by just looking at his clothes. She has little knowledge and doesn't understand these things. "

It was Ji Shuang who forced people to stay in Ji's house. In this way, it was Ji Shuang's fault. Ji Shuang cleared her throat and frowned: "OK, give it to me. First say it's OK. This time, you ask her not to go out alone. Where do you want to take the servant girl in the house? If anything happens again, I won't wipe her ass!"

Uncle Qin said with a gentle smile, "it's very kind of you, Shuanger."

Ji Shuang said coldly: "I'm not for you? If she wasn't for your sister, I don't care if she didn't mean it! Long ago... " Looking at Uncle Qin, he said, "just, I'll go now."

Uncle Qin said with a smile, "I understand Shuanger's intention."

Ji frost light way: "you and I go to Tong Yuan together."

"Good."

In fact, Ji Shuang can handle this kind of thing alone, but Ji Shuang just wants uncle Qin to accompany her. She doesn't like him to be alone with Qin Jiao, even if Qin Jiao is his sister.

They went to Tongyuan and first visited Ji Shangqing. Ji Shangqing's injury had been dealt with, but he was still in a coma and looked serious.

Ji Shuang patiently explains the situation with Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei doesn't expect that the murderer is Qin Jiao. Ji Shangqing has a strong smell of alcohol, and the possibility of getting drunk is not without it. Besides, after asking Dong Erhai, Dong Erhai does hear Ji Shangqing calling someone's name, so it's really possible that Ji Shangqing is drunk and scared Qin Jiao.

Qiao Wei said: "it's not too late to ask my father if it's this situation after all."

"Not bad." Ji Shuang nodded and looked at Uncle Qin, "shall we go back first?"

Uncle Qin and Ji Shuang leave.

Bi'er came over with the golden sore medicine, looked at the door and said, "madam, are they true? Is the master really drunk and bullied Miss Qin? "Qiao Wei brow tip tiny pick a way: "my father-in-law really drinks a lot, however, I always feel that the matter is not so simple."

Bi'er muttered: "some people, even if the wine is not good, my father's wine is not good. Every time I drink too much, I smash things. Now as soon as my mother smells the wine on him, she locks him in the Chaifang and lets him live and die."

"Your mother is very interesting." Qiaowei a smile, took the sore medicine, put on the table, "by the way, let you give Yongnian delivery of the message?"

Bi'er said, "yes, Yongnian said he would try his best to find it."

Luo Yongnian is a blacksmith, and Qin Jiao's husband is also a blacksmith. Although they are unlikely to meet each other, the blacksmith has a way of blacksmith. As long as he does work in his old profession after entering Beijing, his colleague Luo Yongnian should be able to find out his whereabouts.

Qiao Wei takes bi'er back to qinglianju. The two kids have gone to bed. Ji Mingxiu has finished the memorial of today's absenteeism and delay. Qiao Wei tells Ji Shangqing about his injury, and his face becomes a little ugly. Qiao Wei says: "if it's father-in-law's real drunken promiscuity, it's no wonder Qin Jiao. Of course, it may be Qin Jiao's lying. Don't worry about it This is my heart. I'll take care of my family's affairs. Don't worry about Mr. Zhou's affairs. I'm checking. "

When she does things, Ji Mingxiu is at ease. Let her go and do it. If everything has him, he will really chop Qin Jiao, and he will give her a hand.

Qiao Wei laughs. What does he take her for? It's still chopping.

The next day, Ji Mingxiu went to the court before dawn. Qiao Wei sent the three steamed stuffed buns to the Academy. Today, brother Liu didn't get up. He had breakfast and got into the carriage.

After returning from the Academy, the servants of Tongyuan reported that Ji Shangqing woke up.

Qiao Wei didn't gasp, and rushed to Tongyuan.

Ji Shangqing's injury was well controlled. There was no sign of inflammation. He also woke up after drinking. When he was sober, he could feel the burning pain of the wound.

Qiao Wei changed the medicine for Ji Shangqing and asked about yesterday's situation They say that you drink too much and hold on to them. "

Ji Shangqing was ashamed to clear his throat: "I did drink too much last night. I didn't think I saw Zhaoming."

"Princess?" Jovi's hand with the scissors stopped.

Ji Shangqing sighed and nodded.

Qiao Wei doesn't understand why she feels familiar every time she meets Qin Jiao. Now after hearing Ji Shangqing's words, she finally understands where the sense of familiarity comes from.

On Qin Jiao, there is a kind of clear shadow, not appearance, but the gentle temperament. There is a trace of stubbornness in the tenderness, which is unforgettable.

Ji Shangqing said: "by the way, who is that girl? I don't think I've ever seen such a person in the mansion before. "

Although he could not even remember her appearance, he did not forget even a trace of a woman, so he was sure that yesterday was the first time he saw her.

Qiao Wei cut the thread and said with a faint smile: "she is uncle Qin's sister. She has been married and her children are two years old."

So you will die of this heart, don't want to find a little stepmother for me and Mingxiu!

……

In the afternoon, Luo Yongnian sent news to Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei got into the carriage and went to Luo Yongnian's iron shop.

Half a year no see, Luo Yongnian has grown up again. Last time I saw him, he was only a finger higher than Qiao Wei. Now, he wants to be more than half of his head. He is also strong. The muscles on his arms and the bronze skin are full of male strength.

"Forever Qiao Wei went into the backyard with a smile.

Luo Yongnian put down the work at hand, wiped his sweat, and came over in surprise: "elder sister!"

Qiao Wei is not without change, the face is still that face, but the casual style between eyebrows is no longer that green girl.

Luo Yongnian brings Qiao Wei into his room. He works hard and is smart. He is liked by his master. He has become a big apprentice from a small apprentice and has his own room.

Knowing that Qiao Wei came, he packed up ahead of time. If not, he might not be able to foot, even though there are not many places to foot at the moment.

The sister and brother exchanged greetings, said some considerate words, and soon got down to business.

Luo Yongnian said: "elder sister, you said that the blacksmith surnamed Zhou came from other places three years ago. We really have one in our shop! His name is Zhou Shun. He came more than a year earlier than me. He is a senior brother. It's said that his craftsmanship is good. Shifu likes him very much. Elder sister, why do you ask him? "

Qiao Wei said, "I'm asking for information for others. Has he ever mentioned the situation in his family to your masters and brothers? For example, who does he have in his family? Are they married

Luo Yongnian thought about it and said, "his parents are no longer alive, but he has a wife."

Qiao Wei's eyes moved slightly: "what's his wife's name? Where are they from? "

Luo Yongnian said: "they all belong to Qiuzhou. As for the name, we don't know."

Qiao Wei whispered: "Uncle Qin's hometown is also in Qiuzhou in the south.""Sister, what are you muttering about?" Luo Yongnian didn't hear clearly.

Qiaowei looked out: "I was thinking, where is he, can I go to see him?"

Luo Yongnian said with regret: "he has returned to his hometown."

"Back home?" Qiao Wei is slightly stunned.

Luo Yongnian said: "yes, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy. He said that he would go home to have a look. The master agreed. After that, he never came back."

Qiao Wei laughed at herself: "surnamed Zhou, daughter-in-law, son, went to Beijing three years ago It's strange that there is such a blacksmith. All the information is right. I thought she was lying. "

"Who is it?" Asked Luo Yongnian.

Qiao Wei said with clear eyes: "a woman who claims to be my uncle and sister is talking about her husband who came to the capital for three years. Her husband is a blacksmith, surnamed Zhou. I thought they made it up, but I didn't expect it to be true. "

Luo Yongnian thought about it and said, "is it a coincidence? There are many blacksmiths surnamed Zhou. "

Qiao Wei said, "there are many blacksmiths surnamed Zhou, but not many of them came here three years ago. When they came here three years ago, there were even fewer blacksmiths surnamed Zhou who still had a pregnant wife in their hometown."

Luo Yongnian suddenly realized: "it seems reasonable for you to say so. It's a pity that none of us has seen elder martial brother Zhou's daughter-in-law. Otherwise, we can help you identify it."

Qiao Wei pondered for a moment, said: "he and his daughter-in-law's feeling seems good?"

Luo Yongnian nodded: "yes, elder martial brother Zhou talked about his daughter-in-law every day. He had to sleep with her sachet. After her daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, she asked an acquaintance to send him a letter. At that time, the master said that he would get a raise for the job last night, but he went back home without saying a word."

Hearing this, Qiao Wei is 70% sure that Qin Jiao is Zhou Shun's daughter-in-law. She needs to go to Qin Jiao to confirm the remaining three achievements.

Back in qinglianju, Qiao Wei calls bi'er: "brother Tong is seriously ill and needs further treatment. Go to my aunt and take brother Tong."

Qin Jiao is so precious to Tong Ge'er that she is not sure to hand him over to an outsider. However, she is worried about Tong Ge'er's illness and can't really refuse Qiao Wei's treatment. Sure enough, two quarters of an hour later, Qin Jiao comes to the door with Tong Ge'er in her arms.

Qiao Wei poured a cup of tea for her, and said with a kind face: "put down brother Tong, and you are very tired."

"You say, treat tongge'er." She hugged the child.

Qiao Wei smile: "I said that, in fact, just want to call you to chat alone."

Qin Jiao side body, blocking the arms of the child.

Qiao Wei raises her hand. Bi'er closes the door from the outside. Qin Jiao looks at the door. There is a trace of confusion and tension in her eyes. Qiao Wei comforts: "you don't have to be nervous. I won't do anything to your son. I just don't understand some things. I want to ask you for an answer."

Qin Jiao bowed her head and said nothing.

Qiao Wei took a sip of tea and said slowly, "is your husband Zhou Shun?"

Qin Jiao's body is a meal.

"It seems so." Qiao Wei said with a faint smile, "your husband and my brother are working in the same place. Today, I went to find my brother and asked about your husband's situation. My brother said that your husband left the capital two years ago to find you. Why? Haven't you met? "

Qin Jiao held the child's hand tightly.

Qiao Wei took a panoramic view of her casual little actions and said faintly, "you're not my uncle's sister, are you?"

Qin Jiao didn't speak.

Qiao Wei said: "it's good for you to admit it or not. I know well. I won't force you to stay at Ji's house if I don't count it. Those lies that can be punctured are the ones that can deceive my bewildered aunt. Don't try to use them in front of me. You don't know where they are when I cheat people!"

Can people who cheat meet their ancestors who cheat not be seen through?

Qin Jiao lowered her head.

Qiao Wei added: "you are from Qiuzhou, and my uncle is from Qiuzhou. You have the same accent. It's easy for people to believe that you are a family. But don't forget that there is no impermeable wall in the world. To find out who you are is just a matter between fingers. Do you think I can't find out?"

Qin Jiao's expression didn't change much.

Qiao Wei jokingly said: "it seems that you really think I can't find it. I'm not very interested in your background. It doesn't matter who you are. I just want to understand my doubts, so I let you come here. To be honest, I thought Tong Ge'er was my uncle's child, but now I guess it's wrong. My uncle is so kind to you that he even wants your children. If it's not for your brother, I can't think of any reason why he should be so kind to you? Why don't you tell me. "

Qin Jiao is still silent.

Qiao Wei said with a faint smile: "has anyone ever told you that your body shape and temperament are very similar to a person? No, it's two people. They were my father-in-law's wives. Last night, my father-in-law mistook you for his first wife. When I saw you for the first time, I also felt that you were so familiar. My uncle, it should be the same. Well, I wonder what my uncle likes Is it you or someone you look like? "
