Chapter 451

Xia Yi put down her chopsticks and looked at jiulixiang seriously. She asked, "Jiuniang, are you kidding me?"

Jiulixiang's eyes blinked, the mutton was put back into the bowl, and his attitude of answering questions became serious. "How can I make such a joke with you for no reason?"

"I only wanted someone to steal the seal from manager Tan. As for Ma Zhong, you should know that when we arrived at his residence, he was no longer there. Later, I sent someone to look for Ma Zhong in manager Tan's house. All I can know is that it wasn't manager Tan who robbed him. "

The explanation of Murraya is very clear.

Xia Yi also knows that at this time, jiulixiang will not joke with her.

"So that Ma Zhong was not found by you?" Jiulixiang asked.

Xia Yi nodded, "except for you, I have never asked others for help."

"So, only people help you in the dark?"

"Should..." Xia Yimo came to this conclusion after a long time.

Xia Yi knows only a few people in the capital, but Xiao Linmu is not in the capital.

It has been several days since that day, and no one has ever mentioned it to her.

Who helped her?

Xia Yi wants to break her head, but she can't think of an answer.

The situation of Xia Yi, jiulixiang is know some.

When Xiao Linmu left Beijing, he left several dark guards for Xia Yi, but these dark guards were only responsible for Xia Yi's safety.

They are well disciplined and will not act without authorization.

The atmosphere inside the house was silent, and the mutton hot pot was still bubbling.

Silent for a long time, nine Li incense just slowly open mouth, "can be old lady Chu or miss Huo family?"

"It won't be huojie." Xia Yi didn't think about it and replied.

She knew huojie. If huojie had helped her, she would have come to ask for a reward.

As for old lady Chu, there is no need to hide it.

She subconsciously felt that old lady Chu would not be that person.

Just ruled out all the impossible, old lady Chu seems to be the most likely answer.

Whether it is or not, Xia Yi can't be sure until she has asked.

"Jiuniang, it seems that I have to ask you one more thing." Xia Yidao.

Jiulixiang immediately understood the meaning of Xia Yi, "I'll help you check, as long as I have a mutton hot pot."

"No problem." Xia Yi picked up chopsticks again and put several pieces of hot mutton into jiulixiang.

After a meal of mutton, jiulixiang felt warm all over.

The cloak that I used to wear on my body has been taken off for a long time.

She couldn't help but say: "if you can eat such a lamb every night, maybe you can save carbon in your room in winter."

Summer meaning way: "mutton Wen Bu, eat every night but want to get angry."

"Alas... As far as your Ruyi building is concerned, you don't have to worry about getting angry at all. It's enough to eat once every three or five days."

Xia Yi thought about it and said, "it's not difficult. I'll give you the drawing later. It's not difficult for you to find a blacksmith to make a few pots like this."

"Really?" Jiulixiang's eyes brightened.

"You wait."

Xia Yi said, then went to the study to take a pen and paper, the style of the pot to draw out.

When jiulixiang saw it, he couldn't help praising, "what's in your mind? How can you draw such a good object? It's really exquisite to put charcoal on the bottom and pot on the top, which is equal to a small stove."

Xia Yi replied: "the conditions are limited, the pot is too simple."

Compared with all kinds of exquisite objects of later generations, Xia Yi's pot is really simple and crude.

This kind of pot she painted is similar to the later type of alcohol pot, but the groove where alcohol is put at the bottom has been greatly enlarged, and charcoal fire can be added at the bottom. The burning speed of charcoal is not fast. Generally, a few pieces of good charcoal will be enough to eat for half an hour.

In winter, the room is cold and warm with such a pot.

After Xia Yi finished drawing, jiulixiang took the drawing and went directly to the blacksmith's shop. In a few days, it will be winter solstice. She will move the stove home before the winter solstice.

After jiulixiang left, Xia Yi went directly to Chu Fu.

Seeing the old lady of Chu, Xia Yi doesn't beat around the Bush and directly asks the old lady of Chu if she knows about Ma Zhong.

But unexpectedly, the old lady of Chu shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of this name. Is it the craftsman who carved the seal in private?"

"Well." Xia Yi should say, "Granny Chu, you really don't know?"

"I also heard that you went to the magistrate's Yamen two days ago. I heard that the magistrate bullied you. If you hadn't been clever enough to find the evidence that he couldn't refute, you would have been bullied by the magistrate." Old lady Chu said with Xia Yi's hand.

"It's not so easy for them to cover up with each other." Xia Yidao.

Old lady Chu sighed, "I haven't heard you tell me about such a big thing. If the magistrate really dares you, how can I tell King Mu when I come back. Next time you see something like this, tell me. Although grandma is old, she can protect you from being bullied in the capital

"Good." Xia Yi responds.

After hearing what old lady Chu said, Xia Yi is more confused.

If it's not old lady Chu, who will it be?

Mr. Chu said: "since someone is willing to help you, you will know when it's time to let you know. Or when King Mu comes back, you can ask him. "

"Well." Xia Yi nodded and asked about Xiao Linmu's news. "Granny Chu, do you have his news?"

Xiao Linmu once said that he would come back in winter, and the solstice would arrive in two days. He thought it would be time to send news back to the border.

Chu Laofu said: "today, it is reported that King Mu has killed the bandits and defeated the people of the southern region. I think the people of the southern region have to weigh it up."

"Really?" Xia Yi's eyes are bright, "is he coming back soon?"

Old lady Chu laughed, "I'm afraid only the emperor knows this."

"Oh..."

Xia Yi hasn't had time to lose heart before she hears the old lady of Chu saying, "you can ask the emperor directly when you enter the palace in a few days."

"Into the palace?"

After Xiao Linmu left, Xia Yi also went to the palace twice.

But every time the emperor sent someone to pick him up and give him some food in the palace for a change.

As for the Imperial Palace, she is just a little cook. She really can't get in if she wants to.

"King Mu has won the battle in the front line. The emperor is happy. He plans to feast his courtiers on the day of the winter solstice. Then you can follow me into the palace." Said old lady Chu.

I haven't heard from Xiao Linmu for a long time. Today, the old lady of Chu deliberately asked her. She was itching.

Only hesitated for a moment, Xia Yi then agreed to come down, "good."
