"I asked Qingsong to follow his traces and found out that he was from the Zhou family in the north of the city."

Listening to Zhang Yishan's narration, Bai Yunxi was stunned, "Zhou family? What do you do?"

"The Zhou family is a local merchant and runs several large car shops and inns. That's all we know so far. Others are still being investigated."

As Zhang Yishan said, her eyes were still puzzled. It is impossible to have anything to do with Zhou's family in such a situation. What is the intention of that man staring at their family? It is very puzzling.
It would be unreasonable to drive people away or beat them up. After all, he didn't do anything excessive, but it would be disgusting to leave him alone.

Seeing Zhang Yishan frowning, Bai Yunxi became curious.
"Our family has never made friends with anyone when we first came to Fucheng, and the Zhou family has never heard of it. He has no reason to stare at our family."

"This is also where my daughter-in-law is puzzled. Because of this, I dare not act rashly. I have asked Qingsong to check to see if there is anyone behind the Zhou family. Qingshan also asked Qingshan to watch carefully at the door."

Baiyun Xi was very surprised and stood up directly.

"Is that person still around now?"

"That person was still there when I came to my mother's place, so it's hard to say now. I told Qingshan not to startle the snake, just wait for news from Qingsong, and when we figure it out, it won't be too late to deal with that person."

A small businessman's family would not dare to provoke the official residence no matter how courageous it was.

Hearing Zhang Yishan's plan, Bai Yunxi nodded in agreement, "Your work is done properly, mother is very at ease. In the future, just do it boldly, as long as you are reasonable, you don't have to be afraid of anything else."

While talking, the two of them came to the front yard together.

Seeing his master coming, Qing Shan trotted up to greet him, before he could salute, Zhang Yishan waved his hand directly,

"That person is still here."

"Go back to the old lady. Mistress is still here. Please follow me."

With doubts in Bai Yunxi's eyes, with Zhang Yishan's support, they walked to the gate together, and followed Qingshan's guidance to look over.I don't know if it was because of her slow legs or if she alarmed the other party, Bai Yunxi only had time to see a corner of the dark blue dress before the man turned into the opposite alley and hid himself.

"Run away, I really don't know which song this person sang."

Qingshan said and stamped his feet. When he just opened the door and looked out, the man was still standing at the entrance of the alley opposite. As soon as the old lady and mistress came, he hid.

Bai Yunxi stood at the door, looking at the alley for a moment.

"Qingshan, go and see if he is hiding or leaving?"

"Hey, here we go."

As Qing Shan said, he ran over, ran back after a while, shook his head,
"Old lady, that person has already left."

"Mom, you see, this man doesn't look like a spy, nor does he look like he has any malicious intentions. He is really difficult to deal with."

Bai Yunxi stood at the door in silence for a moment, then patted Zhang Yishan's hand.
"Don't pay attention to this kind of anticlimactic person. If he is really our acquaintance or relative, he will come to the door openly. If he is not curious about the new Zhizhou lord, let him watch it."

In short, they had neither acquaintances nor relatives in Fucheng.

Zhang Yishan thought for a while, and she had no choice but to do so, and told Qingshan to watch the door and not let strangers come in.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned around and went back.

The incident at the door was directly forgotten by the two of them.

There were laughter and laughter in the banyan tree hall, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brought the girl and mother-in-law to make moon cakes in the yard.While busy with their hands, they didn't waste time talking and joking. For a while, the whole mansion was filled with a joyful atmosphere. The servants relaxed when they saw the joy of their masters.

The Mid-Autumn Festival means admiring the moon and eating mooncakes. Baiyunxi looked at the various mooncakes pressed out of the mold and waved his hand.
"Hurry up, steam part of it in the pot, and bake part of it. Picking up a good-looking one, and sending it to the Wu family with a gift, it's a little bit of our kindness."

"Don't worry, Mom, I will make arrangements."

At present, they are only close friends with the Wu family aunt, and the rest are not ready to deliver things, especially food.

After the mooncakes were steamed, they looked better than they had imagined. Occasionally, there were a few fillings that were filled with too many gaps, but it didn't affect the taste, and they were directly distributed to girls and women to try.

Du Shi prepared a lot of fillings and wanted everyone to taste them one by one, so he cut the mooncakes into many pieces and placed them on a tray with small bamboo sticks next to them for everyone to choose and taste.

"Grandma, this sour fruit tastes delicious. I like fruit flavors." Yaya tied a piece of hawthorn fruit mooncake, her eyes sparkling.

"Mother Zhang bought this. It was pickled sour fruit. Don't let me use some to make fillings." Mrs. Du looked at the mooncake filling in her daughter's hand and explained with a smile.

Yunxi pinched the cheek of her eldest granddaughter,

"If you like it, you can't eat too much. Mooncakes are not firm and digestible."

Although hawthorn is not edible, it should not be excessive.

"Grandma still prefers the old-fashioned flavors, like this five-nut flavor, salt and pepper nuts, which taste good. Others are a bit sweet and greasy for me."

Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Zhang Yishan put the used small bamboo sticks aside, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and followed suit.

"Compared to the salty ones, I like the peach blossom cakes made by my sister-in-law. After one bite, they are full of the sweetness of peach blossoms. My sister-in-law has a unique talent for making pastries."

Listening to the tone of several people, Mrs. Du was overjoyed,
"I like jujube paste fillings, and I like sweet ones, otherwise it doesn't always feel like a festive taste."

A few people talked and laughed, and the day passed.

After dinner, Bai Yunxi washed up and then lay on the Arhat bed, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it gently.

Occasionally, I looked up at the door and thought to myself, Wenyou has been away for a day, and I wonder if she will be back at night?

Mrs. Zhu sat beside her with a sewing frame, and only reminded her softly when she saw that the time was almost up.

"Old lady, it's getting late, you should rest."

Hearing Pozi Zhu's reminder, Bai Yunxi turned his head and glanced at the hourglass next to him. It was already time, and it was indeed time to rest.At her age, she can't stay up late, and she is prone to sudden death if she is not careful.

Lying on the bed, looking at the blue window curtain, embroidered with white dandelion flowers, after brewing for a while, I fell asleep.

As soon as he slept until dawn, and opened his eyes to look at the familiar curtain, Baiyunxi was stunned for a moment, thinking of Wenyou.

I wonder if that girl came back last night?
Hearing the noise in the room, the girls waiting at the door came in one after another carrying wash water,
"Old lady, you are awake, and this servant will wait for you to get up."

Bai Yunxi agreed, and watched as Zhu Pozi skillfully soaked the cloth towel and applied it to her face.The warm feeling woke her up instantly, and she asked casually.

"Wen Youke is back?"
