Chapter Forty-Nine: The Puffer Fish Is Dead?

She was followed by Miao Yirou and Miao Yirong, who was looking at Le Yu with a critical eye at the moment, and saw that Le Yu was wearing a silver-red tuddle collar folded branch flower silver-white trimmed top, with a light scarlet gauze long skirt, like a waterfall long hair pulled into a bun and a white and transparent hosta obliquely inserted, looking as white as snow and bright eyes, I couldn't help but flash a trace of amazement, and then I was jealous.

Dingyuan's wife Jiang Shi also saw Le Yu for the first time, and couldn't help but smile and praise gently: "The fourth girl is really beautiful and well-behaved, no wonder she can play with us Zhen'er." ”

Gu was humble and hurriedly led Jiang and others into the main hall. Le Xian saw that the guests on the list were almost all there, and said with a smile: "It seems that my sister doesn't have any guests, almost all the guests have arrived, let's go in too." ”

But I heard Leyu say: "Don't be busy for the time being, there should be guests here." Le Rao couldn't help but sneer: "What other guests? Fourth sister, if you have poor popularity, why bother to support it? We are all sisters, no one laughs at you." ”

Le Yuli ignored her, and instead instructed Xiu Shu, "Go and ask Madame to come out to welcome guests." Everyone was stunned, Le Rao sneered and was about to be ridiculed, then she saw the housekeeper trotting in, with an anxious and happy expression on his face, and said loudly: "Princess Baoqing, Princess Ancheng has arrived, go out quickly to greet her." ”

Le Xian and Le Rao froze in an instant, how could they not have imagined that the two princesses would come, a cold light flashed in the depths of Le Xian's eyes, "The fourth sister invited the two princesses?"

Le Yu smiled slightly, "I don't have any friends, so I had to invite two princesses, fortunately, the two princesses are willing to appreciate their faces, is the eldest sister satisfied?"

Le Xian gritted her teeth fiercely, put on the most elegant and elegant smile, and took Le Rao to the door. The princess is the king, they are the ministers, the princess is coming to greet each other at the main gate, and now all the ladies who came today are coming to the second gate with the most humble and sincere smiles.

The street outside the gate of the Xiao family has already been cleared, and the curtains have been enclosed on both sides, Baoqing and Ancheng got off the sedan chair and were surrounded by everyone and went straight into the inner hall, and the Gu family wanted to let the two princesses take the seat. An Cheng hurriedly grabbed Gu Shi and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao, don't be busy, our sisters received the invitation of the fourth girl to have a lively time, to see the scenery of this drunken hibiscus, if the ladies are mobilized by the people, it will make us feel uneasy." Let's mess with their sisters. ”

Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, he liked Princess Ancheng's thoughtful atmosphere very much, and hurriedly asked Le Yu to personally accompany the two princesses to the Yuzhitang of the young ladies in the boudoir. Yu Zhitang was dressed in fragrant sideburns and smiled softly, and they sat in a bunch of familiar places, talking and laughing.

Le Xian and Le Yu all sat here to accompany the guests, An Susu, Qin Mushuang and others sneered and found fault, and Le Yu also turned a deaf ear.Zhu Ji's face was calm and smiled slightly, and she came in and gave Le Yu a look.Le Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and she saw a trace of imperceptible anxiety in Zhu Ji's seemingly calm eyes.Jun Chen was talking to Le Yu, "That drunk hibiscus I think looks the best at night, faint red, very beautiful." Le Yu kept smiling, "Then the county lord will have dinner before leaving, the sunset at that time is lined with hibiscus, and it is the most colorful."

After saying a few more words, Le Yu made an excuse to see how the banquet was prepared, motioned for Le Wan to accompany her, and got up to go out after she sued herself.

Le Yu came out and followed Zhuji to the corner, and Zhuji showed panic on her face, "Girl, all the puffer fish are dead." Le Yu breathed a little, and a cold color flashed in her soft eyes: "What's the matter?" Saying that, the two of them hurried to the kitchen, and Zhuji also took the opportunity to say: "Just now, Madame went to check today's ingredients and dishes, and found that all the puffer fish were dead, and there was not a single one left."

Zhou's sudden illness made Gu have to pick up the burden, and Le Xian suddenly intervened, which seemed logical, but Le Yu knew that it was not so simple.

The Xiao family's hibiscus banquet is famous, and the high-ranking officials of the wealthy families in Beijing are proud to receive posts, not only because of the power of the Xiao family and the beautiful scenery of the drunken hibiscus, but also because of the raw cut puffer fish slices.

Gu's expression was dazed and a little sad, looking at the tank of puffer fish corpses floating in the water tank in a daze, Le Yu hurriedly walked in and shouted, "Mother."

Seeing that Le Yu was coming, Gu Shi finally fell from the tears that he had endured for a long time, took Le Yu's hand, and said sadly: "How is this good? This puffer fish is so rare, where can I find so many of them at one time?"

Le Yu's eyes darkened, and she turned her head and said coldly to Huang Pozi, the kitchen manager: "The puffer fish has been supervised by an experienced person, and the water is also changed every day.

Mrs. Huang was also so frightened that her face turned pale, and she trembled in two strands, and cold sweat trickled down: "Back to the fourth girl, the old slave doesn't know.

This will not be the time to be held accountable, Le Yu glanced at Shunzhu's daughter-in-law who was pale and closed her lips silently, and shouted: "Tie her up and lock her up in the firewood room, Zhuji, you find two people to guard the door, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Although Shunzhu's daughter-in-law bit her lip tightly but didn't resist at all, she was tied up by Zhuji and someone.Le Yu glanced at her back thoughtfully, and asked Mrs. Huang again, "Who else knows about this matter?" Mrs. Huang saw that Le Yu immediately disposed of Shunzhu's daughter-in-law, a little more afraid, and muttered: "Back to the fourth girl, as soon as I found out, the old slave immediately let people inform Mrs., only Shunzhu's daughter-in-law, the old slave knew, and the little girl who passed the word only knew that the old slave said that there was an emergency. ”

Le Yu looked at Gu again, Gu understood and reluctantly wiped away her tears: "I saw that something happened, so I asked Fangjing to find Zhuji, no one else knew." Le Yu narrowed her eyes, "That big sister ...... there" Gu Shi said busily: "I'm in charge of the kitchen here, so I didn't inform Xian'er, do you want to sue her now, multiple people and multiple ways ......"

Le Yu interrupted her, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes: "No need, my sister won't have a way, just make her worry." Le Yu said again: "Mother, we can't all stay here, you go back to entertain those ladies first, remember to be steady, don't let people see that something is wrong." Here, I'll figure out a way to ask my mother to believe that I can handle this matter properly. “

Gu Shi has long been six gods and no master, seeing that Le Yu is calm and well-directed, she is much more relieved for no reason, she knows that if she does not give up, those lady-like people will immediately see the problem.
