Zhao Zhutou was surprised, "The adult actually knows the bone character! Then this is ......"

Who doesn't know all the words before they think of studying the characters of the ancient times? These people are all old pedants, how can there be a child of Cui Ning's age!

"It's white. "Cui Ning's fourth senior brother is very knowledgeable, and often nests in the library to study ancient books, some of which are this kind of bone characters, and she has known a few after a long time, "Bai Zhen is an ancient divine beast, and it is a pair of Teng snakes." This is actually the script of the Qin Dynasty, but it first appeared on the oracle bone, and we usually call it the bone character. ”

"Your Excellency is really knowledgeable!" Zhao Zhutou exclaimed.

Cui Ning smiled, "It's just that I just happened to know each other." ”

"The legend of the white and the snake has also been heard by my subordinates, but who will carve the snake on the hairpin...... After all...... "In general, snakes are adulterous and inappropriate to use them as women's objects."

Cui Ning shook his head, "This is not a snake. When Nuwa made up the sky, the white snake followed without hesitation and made up the sky with his body. Legend has it that when they were in the mortal world, the lower body would turn into a snake tail because the turbidity of the mortal world was too heavy, so we called the Han Dynasty portrait of Fuxi Nuwa with a long tail intertwined and called the dragon statue. ”

"Dragon?" Zhao Zhutou was startled, this is not something that anyone dares to use! Thinking that he has already pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers when he comes to check the Shangshu Mansion as a small headcatcher, what if he is involved in the royal family again?

Cui Ning saw his worries, so he explained, "Do you think about why you say that these Bai Ji and Teng Snake are ancient divine beasts and not immortals? They were created by Nuwa, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are servants and pets of ancient immortals. Later, he followed his master to mend the sky, which was for loyalty, and the serpentine shape meant that there were many sons, so it was good. Merely...... Ordinary people probably don't dare to claim to be fairy servants. ”

Zhao Zhutou calmed down, and his thoughts immediately became clear, "Are you talking about hairpins, could it be the Yin family's thing?" After all, the Yin and Yu families are discussing marriage. ”

It's just that this is definitely not a matter of marriage, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for Yu Zhiru to not know about the maids around him. But this hairpin is very valuable, and has such a deep meaning, it must not be an ordinary thing.

"Take the portrait of this hairpin to the Yin Mansion and ask. Cui Ning said.

Zhao Zhutou's eyes lit up, "What do you mean?" Yin Dalangjun may be in Chang'an?"

The Yin family also has a house in Chang'an. But most of the Yin family lived in their hometown in Pingyuan, and the house was empty for eight or nine months of the year. Cui Ning didn't know this, and raised her eyebrows when she heard this, not showing any timidity. "Perhaps. ”

Zhao Zhutou listened to Cui Ning's analysis. I was a little more convinced. At the beginning, he always felt that Cui Ning was relying on the support of his family to eat vegetarian meals in the corpse position of the Supervision Division. After slow contact, I realized that how could a woman who was willing to be released by the big family be an ordinary person! Therefore, even though Zhao Zhutou was only three points convinced, he had already achieved twelve points of respect on his face.

After some discussion, Zhao Zhutou immediately took the portrait of the hairpin and went straight to the Yin Mansion. Cui Ning stayed in the sewing room and continued to check.

There are a total of fourteen people in the sewing room, one of them is a steward, six are embroiderers, five are dedicated to sewing, and the other two are weavers, who are responsible for weaving. However, in Yu Mansion, Weaver Niang is not called Weaver Niang but Weaver Niang, because she has committed the taboo of the two ladies.

Except for the steward and the five sewing servants in this house, who were slaves and maids of the Yu Mansion, the others were all good citizens, and they only signed a contract to work in the Yu Mansion.

These two spinners are mother and daughter, and they have a unique skill, that is, they can weave white folded cloth, which is extremely soft, ten times better than the kind sold on the market, and more comfortable to wear closer than silk.

Fourteen people stood in a row trembling at the moment, but looking at a girl in an official uniform dangling in front of her, her heart was somewhat relaxed.

Cui Ning carefully observed their faces and demeanor, wanting to see the slightest hint from them. Now all kinds of evidence prove that Yu Zhiru's death may be more involved, but before the truth is found, everything is possible, maybe what seems complicated is actually very simple? For example, a subordinate has been oppressed for a long time and has become a psychopath......

Seeing Cui Ning looking at them with strange eyes, the steward stood and didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help but bend over, and said respectfully, "My lord." ”

"When was the last time Yu Erniang came to the needlework room?" asked Cui Ning.

The steward said, "What a noble person the second lady is, how can you come here, the old slave has been working in the needlework room for so many years, and the second lady has been here four or five times, and the last time she came over was a year ago." ”

Cui Ning knew that ordinary masters would not run to these places, so it was tempting to ask this, and the answer of the steward was also expected, "When was the last time all of you saw Erniang?"

The answers of several people are different, ten of them are the second lady they saw a year ago, and there are four, including the steward, who have all seen Yu Zhiru recently. They are all slaves of the Yu Mansion, and unlike outsiders, they can occasionally walk around in the inner courtyard, and it is not strange to see Yu Zhiru.

It is worth Cui Ning's attention that one of them only saw her four days ago, that is to say, three days before Yu Zhiru's death, Cui Ning called her to the quiet room alone to ask for details.

On the same day, the needlework lady was called by Yu Zhiru to modify a dress, saying that she thought the dress was too wide and wanted to change it to a slimmer fit.

Yu Zhiru is particularly fond of beauty, and usually likes to wear clothes that can highlight her figure, and the three sisters often make the same clothes, but she has to change it, and she has to wear it to look the most outstanding.

"The clothes of the second lady were sent by the Lian Rui girl every time, and the Lian Rui girl couldn't leave that day before she called the slave over. The needlework lady was afraid that Yu Zhiru's death would involve her, so she was anxious to clear up the relationship, "I heard that the second lady went to find the third lady that day, and the slave happened to meet her in the yard when she arrived, not a peeping lady." ”

"Which dress is she going to change?" Cui Ning asked.

The needlework lady said, "It is a two-color wood-scented dress, and the clothes are embroidered with grape patterns." ”

Cui Ning was stunned in her heart, isn't this Yu Zhixin's bloody clothes that were dropped?

Cui Ning asked again, "The day you saw her, how did she look?"

The slave didn't dare to look up at the lady, but she seemed to be happy when she heard it, and the lady also rewarded the slave with a silver leaf. The needlework lady said, as if thinking of something, "Later, the second lady left, and the slave maid listened to her from a distance and asked the maid next to her if the comb looked good, how the makeup was, and said that she was going to the East Market." ”

What is the reason why a little lady pays special attention to her dress before going out?

Cui Ning thought of Yu Zhiru's infatuated gaze when she looked at Wei Qian, and it was unlikely that she would suddenly empathize with other men in such a short period of time, so she guessed that she went to Dongshi that day not to "meet" Wei Qian, but to meet other women's friends. Yu Zhiru still has to stand out among the three sisters in the family, and this mentality may be even worse in front of her peers.

In order to verify his thoughts, Cui Ning immediately ordered someone to call Yu Zhiru's personal maid. (To be continued......)
