"Miss, something happened, something happened." Mo Ju looked panicked.

"What happened?" Yan Xiang had just returned to the room after lunch and was about to rest. Seeing Yan Ju like this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"The people I found were arrested into the county government office," Mo Ju whispered.

Yan Xiang gasped and asked, "When did they get caught?"

"Last evening, my cousin found out that they had offended a noble man from the capital and were arrested." Mo Ju said uneasyly. Didn't the Yan family come from the capital?

A noble person?

Does it refer to Yanhu?

But they didn't do anything, why did the county government arrest them? What was going on? They were arrested and asked. Will they tell the matter out when they were interrogated? A panic flashed across Yan Xiang's face, "Have you told your cousin, my identity?"

"I didn't say it." Mo Ju did not say that Yan Xiang was the sixth lady of the Yan family, but she told her cousin that she was a maid in the Yan family. If she really wanted to investigate, she could find it out in one go. Just looking at Yan Xiang's face, she didn't dare to tell the truth.

Yan Xiang sighed lightly, as long as she could not be implicated, "Don't go to see your cousin again, and don't go out at will. Just stay in the yard. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Mo Ju wanted to disconnect from her. She was the maid of the third room. Yan Hu was not her serious master. But if you care seriously, Yan Hu was also her master. The servants were believing in the murder of their master, which was a death sentence, even if she was obedient.

After thinking about it, Yan Xiang felt that this matter should not be involved. She never expected that Yan Hu might not be able to investigate, but Princess Nanping was definitely capable. On that evening, Princess Nanping not only obtained the interrogation record of the gangsters and cousin Mo Ju, but also obtained the portrait of Mo Ju drawn by cousin Mo Ju. After being confirmed by Pearl, she was indeed Mo Ju, a third-class maid next to Yan Xiang.

"If you don't teach your adopted daughter, it's your mother's fault." Princess Nanping thought that Yan Xiang would become like this, and the biggest responsibility lies with Mrs. Yan San.

Princess Nanping began to pay attention to Mrs. Yan San. It didn't matter if she noticed it, and found that Mrs. Yan San was wearing a set of jade heads with excellent water color; Princess Nanping also had a set of jade heads with similar value of 10,000 taels of silver.

When did Mrs. Yan San become so generous?

Princess Nanping felt strange and smiled tentatively, "My third sister-in-law is a new face. I haven't seen you wear it before."

Mrs. Yan raised her hand and touched her earrings, and smiled and said, "The fourth brother and sister have a good look. This face is indeed new. I have only worn it for the first time today. The third master has been promoted. I can't lose his dignity. I have to dress up well."

After eight or nine years, Master Yan San was finally promoted from the fifth-rank minister of the Ministry of Personnel to the fourth-rank right-rank counselor. Although he was just a prosecutor with no real power and only half a level, it was a qualitative leap. Mrs. Yan San became a fourth-rank respecter and could wear a red gold-headed face. Mrs. Yan San suddenly felt proud.

"Sister-in-law's face costs at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?" Mrs. Yan Wu asked enviously.

Mrs. Yan smiled but said nothing, and looked arrogant. Mrs. Yan Wu did not enter the officialdom, and Mrs. Yan Wu could not be a wife with a husband. She wanted to wear a red gold-haired face and had to rely on Yan Tongfeng to read books. She didn't know which year of the monkey and horse month to wait. Mrs. Yan San could only find superiority in front of Mrs. Yan Wu. Mrs. Yan, Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, and Mr. Yan Si were all above Mr. Yan, and Princess Nanping had a title rank.

Several sisters-in-law were talking, and a noise came from outside. It turned out that Wu Zhuang took his three sons up the mountain to set up a trap to catch wild game. When he came back, he brought back more than twenty sparrows, but also two hares who were dying from the cold.

Yan Jing swallowed her saliva and circled around the two rabbits, "Little Si Si wants to eat the little rabbit, and Little Si Si wants to eat the little rabbit."

Seeing her greedy appearance, Yan Huo couldn't help but want to tease her, and said deliberately: "Rabbit is so cute, how can you eat rabbits?"

Yan Jing looked at Yan Hu, who was abnormal and asked blankly: "Don't you eat rabbits?"

"If you don't eat, keep it." Yan Huo said seriously.

"Support?" Yan Jing looked at Yan Zi for help, "Sister Thirteen."

"Listen to Sister Twelve." Yan Qi likes to eat, but he loves to listen to Yan Qiu's words even more.

"Then let's keep it." Yan Jing said with her little mouth sagging and her voice cords cryingly. Her little arms could not twist the thighs of her two sisters.

Yan Huo smiled and said, "When you are raised and you will give birth to many little rabbits, we will have a lot of rabbits to eat."

Mrs. Yan burst into laughter and thought that the greedy girl had changed her temper. It turned out that she was not going to eat it, but she was going to raise more rabbits to eat it.

Yan Jing cheered in surprise, "Twelve Sisters, Twelve Sisters."

Yan Qi patted her head and said, "How is it? I'm right to hear what Twelve Sisters are. Twelve Sisters are wise and powerful."

Yan Jing nodded, "The Twelve Sisters are the most wisest and most powerful. The Twelve Sisters, can I raise the little rabbit?"

"Okay." Yan Huo said happily.

When Mrs. Yan saw Mrs. Yan Er, Princess Nanping and Mrs. Yan Wu laughed so hard that tears were almost coming out. These three sisters are really three living treasures.

Yan Jing pulled Wu Zhuangtou's wife and asked her how to raise rabbits. Wu Zhuangtou's wife found dried straw, made a nest for the two rabbits, and then went to the cellar to get vegetables and radishes. Unfortunately, the two rabbits disdained the vegetables that were not very watery.

"Why don't they eat? Eat, eat, you will starve to death if you don't eat." Yan Jing held the radish and stuffed it into the rabbit. The rabbit turned its head away, jumped forward, and drilled its head into the haystack.

Yan Jing looked up at the head lady of Wuzhuang, "Does the little rabbit like me, don't like vegetables and radish, or eat meat? Why don't you cook some braised pork for them to eat?"

Yan Huheng glanced at her, "You want to eat braised pork, Xiao Shisi, I forgot the little song I taught you to sing."

"I haven't forgotten, the little white rabbit is white and white, and its ears are erect. I love to eat radishes and vegetables. It's so cute to jump around." Yan Jing sang and made movements, and her silly look, which made everyone laugh.

After singing the song, Yan Jing continued to feed the little rabbit, but the little rabbit still refused to eat it. Yan Jing asked Yan Hu for help, "Twelve sister, the little rabbit refuses to eat it, what should I do?"

Yan Huo thought about it and said, "The little rabbit is timid and is still afraid to eat it. Let's put them in the corner and leave them alone for the time being."

Yan Jing followed her opinion and asked the maid to move the little rabbit to the corner. No rabbit was distracted. Yan Jing remembered the sparrow caught by the village, "Can the sparrow be fried and eaten?" She was afraid that her twelve sister would suddenly think about it and wanted to raise the sparrow too.

Before Yan Huo could speak, Yan Xiang asked, "I remember that birds were going to fly south to spend the winter. Why are there sparrows still catching them up on the mountain now?"

Wu Zhuangtou smiled and said, "Sparrows do not go to the south to spend the winter, and there are hot springs here, which are warmer than other places. There are many sparrows on the mountain. On snowy days, they will fly down the mountain to find food."

"Will you still go to the mountain to catch sparrows tomorrow?" Yan Xiang asked.

"You're going, while the weather is warmer, grab more and dry it. You can also have an extra dish during the Chinese New Year." Wu Zhuangtou smiled.

"Catching sparrows must be very interesting. Can I go up the mountain with me?" Yan Xiang asked.

Zhuangtou glanced at Mrs. Yan and smiled and said, "The mountain road is slippery, so the lady is afraid she won't be able to get up."

"I don't want to go up too high either. I just want to see how to catch sparrows. Sister Thirteenth and Sister Fourteenth, I finally came to Zhuangzi to stay for a small stay. Don't you want to see?" Yan Xiang did not call her own sister, but directly came to Yan Xi and Yan Jing, who had the closest relationship with Yan Hu, with the intention not too obvious.

"Think." Yan Jing blurted out.

How many years older than Yan Jing was, she was not so impulsive, and she pursed her lips and said nothing. She only followed Yan Huo. If Yan Huo went, she would follow him. If Yan Huo didn't, she wouldn't go even if she wanted to.

Yan Huo glanced at Yan Xiang, was he going to do something wrong again? Should he cooperate with her? Anyway, he was idle, so he would tease her. Yan Huo threw himself into the arms of Mrs. Yan, "Grandma, Xiaoxiao wants to go up the mountain to catch sparrows."

Mrs. Yan thought for a while and said, "If you want to go, go, but don't go to the deep mountains. Just play on the small hill beside Zhuangzi. If you listen to Wu Zhuangtou, don't run around on the mountain, don't stay for too long, come back early." I came to Zhuangzi just to be more brisk, and there is no need to restrain my granddaughters.

Yan Hu nodded and said that he remembered it all.

Princess Nanping frowned slightly. This bold girl trapped her daughter at home, and Princess Nanping couldn't bear to leave her and said, "Aping and A'an go with you, you must follow the lady in a row."

Yan Xiang frowned slightly, and Aping and An followed him, it was hard to do it. He had to find a way to get rid of these two people.

The next day, the team going up the mountain was very large. Eight ladies, eight maids, Aping A'an, and the father and son of Zhuangtou. Yan Jing, the first one, responded, but couldn't go. She was so excited last night that she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She couldn't get up this morning.

The mountain roads were all stepped on by people who went up the mountain. They were narrow and rugged. After climbing for more than ten meters, the ladies who were pampered had no strength. Seeing this, Wu Zhuangtou said, "There is a small open space in front of you, so you can rest."

Everyone walked for a while, and they saw an open space, but the ground was wet, so they couldn't sit and could only squat and rest; Yan Zi was energetic and did not squat and rest, running around the small open space, "Uncle Wu, come here quickly, come here quickly,"

Wu Zhuangtou walked over, "Miss Thirteen, what's wrong?"

"Can that red fruit be eaten?" Yan Qi asked.

Wu Zhuangtou recognized it for a moment and smiled and said, "That's a vine fruit, you can eat it."

"You can eat it." Yan Qi pulled her maid and went to pick wild fruits.

Wuzhuang pointed to a pine forest not far away, "There are pine nuts in it to be picked up." It was still early, so let the ladies play for a while before taking them to catch sparrows.

Xiaobei, the third son of the Wu family, accompanied Yan Qi, and the others followed Wuzhuang to the pine forest to pick up pine nuts. Yan Qiu paid attention to Yan Xiang while picking up pine nuts, and found that she always followed her. Yan Qiu glanced at Aping A'an and Quemai. She wanted to know what method Yan Xiang used to lead the three of them away.

After a while, Yan Xiang's maid Xia Lu asked Que Mai for help on the grounds that pine leaves fell on her hair. Que Mai was dragged by Xia Lu, and after walking for a while, Yan Xiang pretended to be frightened, rushed to Yan Huo, pointed to a place casually, and said, "There is a sound there, Aping A'an, come and take a look."

Aping and A'an stood still, and Yan Huo smiled and said, "Sixth sister uses the one who calls me, it's quite easy."

An embarrassment flashed across Yan Xiang's face and said, "Twelve Sister, don't worry about this little thing like this. You can ask Aping and A'an to take a look."

"Sixth sister sent Aping and A'an away, what do you want to do?" Yan Huo looked at her with a smile, "Let me guess it. I am not as tall as sixth sister and strong as sixth sister. It is not difficult for sixth sister to knock me out. Then drag me to the edge of the cliff, throw it down, and the task is done."

Although Yan Hu didn't guess, it was not far away. Yan Xiang could not admit it, "Twelve sister, what are you talking nonsense? How could I do that? I was really worried about the beasts and poisonous snakes over there, so I wanted Aping and An to see it. If you are afraid and unwilling to let them go, then forget it, there is no need to slander me."

"Sister Six, you really should study hard. Don't you know that snakes can hibernate in winter? Also, if Wuzhuangtou dares to take us into this pine forest, it means that there will be no wild animals here, and your worries are unnecessary." Yan Huo sneered, "Besides, Aping A'an is a martial arts practitioner, with extraordinary ears. They didn't hear any abnormal noise, but Sister Six heard it."

"It's me that I'm worried about nothing." Yan Xiang was so angry that he was embarrassed.

Yan Huo's expression turned up, "Sister Six, I asked myself that I had never offended you. Why did you want to harm me so much?" Yan Huo wanted to get into the past life. She wanted to know what she did in her previous life, which made Yan Xiang hate her so much.

"When did I harm you, you are so confused." Yan Xiang's mouth was hard and he didn't reveal any wind.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I'm here. Today is the last time. If you want to make a bad idea, don't blame me for not thinking about sisterhood." Yan Huo knew that such a few simple words would not make Yan Xiang give up the hatred in his previous life. She just deliberately made the words clear so that Yan Xiang would not think that she was a fool who could deceive her.

Yan Xiang spat heavily at Yan Hu's back as he left, "Bah, what a bullshit sisterhood, I don't care about it." She had a bad reputation in her previous life and was forced to marry far away. None of the sisters in her family had pleaded for her. She did not disturb their lifelong affairs in this life, and she had already shown mercy.

She only remembered that the sisters did not plead for her, but forgot that the makeup the sisters gave her when she married far away was very generous. That was also a kind of affection for her.

The villagers have already picked up pine nuts in this pine forest once. Everyone has not gained much, so they only picked up a basket in total, but it is enough to eat them these days. What's more, everyone goes up the mountain mainly to catch sparrows, and the pine nuts and wild fruits are all by the way.

Xiaodong, the eldest son of the Wu family, swept out a place and sprinkled the rice he brought on the ground. "Now we hide first and wait for the sparrows to come down to eat rice."

Everyone looked for a place around to hide. After waiting for a while, they saw three sparrows flying over. One of them was brave and landed on the ground. They walked forward tentatively for a few steps, stopped again, and their little head turned around, as if they were watching the situation around them.

After confirming that there was no danger, it pecked the rice on the ground, and the two sparrows hovering in the sky also flew down. Then dozens of sparrows flew over one after another, and they pecked around the rice.

"Can you catch the sparrow by just watching the sparrow eat rice?" Yan Huo remembers that a text he learned in elementary school wrote that he set a basket on the rice and tie a rope to the stick of the basket. When the sparrow comes to eat rice, pull the rope and hold the basket down and you can catch the sparrow. But Xiaodong has no basket! Can you catch the sparrow in this way?

Wu Xiaobei, who was hiding with Yan Hu, smiled and said, "Miss Twelve, don't worry, you can watch it."

Yan Hu continued to watch and saw the sparrows that had eaten rice fell on the ground one by one, and some of them were tossing their wings to fly away, but unfortunately they just flew off the ground and fell back to the ground.

Wu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Miss Twelve and Miss Thirteen, you can go out to pick up sparrows."

"What's going on?" Yan Huo asked curiously.

"The rice is soaked in wine, and the sparrows get drunk after eating the rice." Wu Xiaobei smiled.
