After finishing the meal with the fourth elder brother, he called for hot water, and had a "bath bucket battle" after the meal, and after lying on the bed again, the fourth elder brother and Lan Yingcai settled down.

Lan Ying snuggled in the arms of the fourth elder brother and didn't say anything, just leaned quietly, hoping to go on for so long. However, it is certainly impossible, but for now, let her have the luxury of wishing for a moment.

Although the fourth elder brother is young and prosperous, he can't stand the fight with the goblin just now, and he doesn't want to move at this time, he just wants to lie quietly like this, and he doesn't know how long it will take, the fourth elder brother touched Lan Ying's head and whispered: "Sleep!"

"Hmm!" Lan Ying responded obediently, closed her eyes and remained motionless, and gradually fell asleep under the wrapping of the fourth elder brother's breath.

Waiting for Lan Ying to wake up the next day, the fourth elder brother had already left, although the fourth elder brother had not yet taken the heart of the heir, but as a prince elder brother, he decided that Lan Ying would serve well in bed, and he would not indulge in it, just like Concubine De said to the fourth elder brother when she gave them: It's just a thing.

Lan Ying was not depressed, she had long been accustomed to the style of the fourth elder brother, after freshening up and eating, Lan Ying didn't know how to go out of the house, thinking that going outside at this time was also a lot of sour words, it was better to stay in the house.

In the case of food and clothing and no need to support her own family, the woman in the backyard has a lot of free time, Lan Ying was not favored in her previous life, so although she has a lot of free time, she has to do her own clothes and work, although her status is still very low in this life, but because of her favor, the minions at the bottom do not dare to make it bad, and the things sent are exquisite, and Lan Ying does not need to rework.

No wonder the women in the backyard want to fight, if they don't fight, they can't, everything they eat, wear, live and travel is directly proportional to their own grace, who doesn't want to live a better life?

"Little master......" Mingyue suddenly walked in, approached Lan Ying and said trivially: "The little master and slave found a purse under the windowsill. As he spoke, he took out a pink purse from his sleeve.

The purse is not large, and it is embroidered with a delicate magnolia pattern, which does not look like it is usually worn, but when it is worn in the world.

That's right, why did the ancients have to change their clothes when they go out and enter the door, it's not that the ancient fabrics are not good.

When you say this, many people will definitely spray, and you have forgotten the famous silk.

Silk is naturally a good cloth, but you must know that the silk at this time is hand-woven, the silk thread used to weave silk is spit out by mulberry silkworms, and mulberry silkworms are fed with mulberry leaves, which all need to be manually operated. In a word, the ability to produce silk every year in ancient times was limited.

If silk could be as much as cabbage, there would not be a gold or two feet of silk, and the Roman Empire launched the famous Silk War for this reason.

For example, the places where silk is produced in the south now have weaving houses directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and most of the silk produced in a year is flowing into the palace, and the rest is sold to foreign and domestic tyrants. However, how many pieces of silk can be made into a piece of silk? Moreover, the dyeing skills of ancient times are not as powerful as those of later generations, and generally clothes will fade after washing once or twice, and the price will drop when they are worn and looked.

A young lady who pays a little attention to the face of a family has to make at least twenty sets of clothes a year, not to mention the masters in the palace. Therefore, even in the palace, there are not many people who can bed silk clothes, and it stands to reason that none of the women in the backyard of the three northern schools can be qualified to wear clothes made of silk, but where is there an absolute thing in this world, anything can be exploited, like Lan Ying, who has the silk cloth rewarded by the fourth elder brother, but it is not made into clothes to wear in a low-key manner.

But even if there are very few people who can have silk, the purse in front of me is actually made of silk fabric, and the magnolia flowers embroidered on it are also lifelike, and it can be seen that the skills are superb, and such a small purse is not something that ordinary people can have.

"Do you know whose purse it belongs to?"

Lan Ying asked this question in vain, if Mingyue knew who the owner was, she wouldn't have brought it to her.

Sure enough, Mingyue shook her head, "The slave doesn't know, when the slave picked it up, there was no one around, I don't know who dropped it." ”

After thinking about it, Lan Ying opened the purse, there was a handkerchief in it, spread it out and saw that there was an orchid embroidered in a small corner of the handkerchief, Mingyue knelt down as soon as she saw the handkerchief, her eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Little master, this handkerchief ......"

"This handkerchief looks like mine. The doubts and doubts in Lan Ying's heart disappeared in an instant at this time, and only anger remained.

"Little master, the slave dares to swear to the sky, your handkerchief slaves are all put away, but you don't know ...... I don't know how it ended up in this purse. ”

Don't underestimate a handkerchief, you must know that it is the most famous of the ten magic weapons of ancient men and women, and although the handkerchief is small, it is a woman's personal thing, if it is picked up by a foreign man, it will give birth to a storm, especially a concubine like Lan Ying, if the fourth elder brother knows, it is okay to kill her directly, and others will not say anything about the fourth elder brother, only that she is a slut who does not abide by women's morals and deserves to be killed.

"Get up first, and go and bring the box with the handkerchief. Lan Ying said calmly, although she had not encountered this kind of thing in her previous life, she had seen it, so Lan Ying was very cautious when she was reborn.

Hearing this, Mingyue hurriedly got up and took a box on the dresser, opened it and saw that there were several handkerchiefs neatly placed inside, but something strange happened, there was one in the box that was exactly the same as the handkerchief in the purse, obviously the handkerchief in the purse was not Lan Ying's, but someone else's counterfeit.

"This ......" Mingyue looked at Lan Ying with some uneasiness, the embroidery method of this needle and thread is too similar, you must know that these handkerchiefs are all from Lan Ying's own hands, and no one else has embroidered them. Usually handkerchiefs are very personal things, and almost everyone in the palace will have one on their bodies, and there will be no such thing as lending them to others, and it is impossible to even let others see them.

But now there will be exactly the same handkerchief, this is a big deal, if it is not solved properly, I am afraid that there will be a big problem in the future.

Lan Ying looked at the purse and sniffed it, the person behind it did it very carefully, there was no smell left on the purse, and there was no clue from the aroma. The purse is also very consistent with Lan Ying's identity, and people who don't know it will really think that this is Lan Ying's purse.

It's just that......

Lan Ying touched a bead on the tassel covered by her purse and smiled, "Go and call Wuren and Xingmao." ”

Lan Ying called them, Wuren and Xingmao didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed Mingyue into the house, "Say hello to the little master, little master Wanfu Jin'an." ”

"Alright, alright, let's all get up!" Lan Ying put the purse embroidered with magnolia flowers in front of the two of them, and asked meaningfully, "Have you ever seen this thing?"

Wuren and Xingmao took a closer look, and then shook their heads, "Back to the little master, the slave has never seen this thing." "This kind of thing is used by women at first glance, although they are no longer men, but they have never been women, and their usual food, clothing, housing and transportation are not much different from men.

Lan Ying took back her purse, thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever seen anyone like this?"

Wuren and Xingmao shook their heads again, their status in the entire North Third Institute is not high, especially the eunuchs, and they usually do not dare to stare at these things, because generally these stares are either hung on their waists or placed in their arms, if they stare at others, people who don't know still think that they have taken a fancy to so-and-so and want to eat with her, which is expressly forbidden in the harem.

"This thing was just picked up by Mingyue by the window, and there is an embroidered handkerchief that is exactly the same as my needle and thread. Lan Ying said faintly, but it made Wuren and Xingmao's eyes widen suddenly, they are not Xiaobai naturally know the stakes in this, if others use the topic to play, it may be a disaster for Lan Ying.

Wuren thought for a while and said, "The slave didn't find any suspicious people passing by the little master's window today. ”

Xingmao also said: "The slave didn't find anything, but I don't know when Aunt Mingyue found this thing, and I don't know how long this thing has been placed by the little master's window." ”

"Just a quarter of an hour ago. Mingyue said: "I didn't see anyone when I found out. "Like this position by the small main window, there is usually a special rough slave to clean it, but it is usually twice in the morning and once in the afternoon, usually these rough slaves usually stay in the house and will not come out to shake around, and now there is no way to find an eyewitness.

"Okay, seeing that Chang Fujin is about to enter the door, you have all been cautious recently. After speaking, Lan Ying sighed, "The wind and rain are coming!" I don't know when such a day will be a head, maybe there will be no day to stop at all, unless death.

The three of them glanced at each other, lowered their heads and replied respectfully: "Yes!"

After waiting for the three of them to leave, Lan Ying took out the purse again, a trace of fierceness crossed her eyes, and a cold voice sounded, "It's the second time!"

She apparently already knew who had done it.

If it is just a Hebao Lanying's confirmation, after all, although they can't have silk on the surface, there are many ways to get it secretly. As for the embroiderers, there are very few women in the palace who are not good women, and they can't see anything at all from this alone, but the tassel hanging on this purse exposes the owner.

There is a peanut-sized master strung on the tassel, and it is this bead that lets Lan Ying know who the murderer is behind the scenes, and the bead turns out to be a pearl or an East pearl.

The pearl may be able to be done by the people at the bottom, but this Dongzhu is completely different, not only because the Qing Dynasty government/government included it in the royal supplies, but also because of the origin.

Dongzhu is produced in the Songhua River, Heilongjiang River, Ussuri River, Yalu River and their basins. The Qing Dynasty had strict regulations on the harvesting of Dongzhu. In the seventh year of Shunzhi, the governor of Ula was set up, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the clan was stopped from sending people to collect Dongzhu in Wula. Ula is the name of the ancient city, which is the abbreviation of Ula for beating cattle. During the Kangxi period, it was again restricted and forbade the Wula people living in Ningguta to harvest Dongzhu. During the Qianlong period, detailed punishment regulations were made for concealment and theft. In order to prevent the East Pearl from flowing into the people, checkpoints are also set up at Shanhaiguan, and relevant personnel are given meritorious service and rewards according to the weight of the beads obtained by inspection. Since then, Dongzhu has truly realized the exclusive use of the imperial court of "not allowing people to take it without being ordered".

Therefore, Dongzhu is very valuable in Daqing City, although the Dongzhu on the purse is not particularly large, but it can also get first-class products, just such a good Dongzhu was discarded by someone, this person must be a local tyrant.

It is true that the Internal Affairs Office can make old money, but not all the clothed minions can enter the Internal Affairs Office, and it does not include that all the minions who enter the Internal Affairs Office are embezzlers, and there are still hard-working and simple people. Among the five women in the North Three Institutes now, except for the other four before her, they all have families behind them, but this is by no means the case, and this Dongzhu will not be what they can have.

At first glance, it seems that the wiring harness is broken here, but Lan Ying's eyes can see different sizes, she clearly knows the details of Li Qishu and the Song family, and without thinking that it is an accident at all, Lan Ying naturally decided that this matter should be caused by Li Qishu.

Not to mention the other beads, in addition to Li Qishu, who can have the system that can be bought in the system mall, who else can have it?

Obviously, it is impossible for other people to have it, Lan Ying does not suspect that Li Qishu did this, there is definitely something wrong with her brain.

But again, these things are Lan Ying's speculation, and this purse has not caused any big deals, even if she stabs in front of the fourth elder brother, there is nothing she can do with Li Qishu, after all, the matter of the palace fighting system is mysterious and mysterious, and it is not clear at all.

Although there was no way to trample Li Qishu to death openly, Lan Ying made a note of Li Qishu in her heart, this is the second time, the second time Li Qishu shot at herself.

To be honest, although Lan Yingde's fourth elder brother's favor aroused the other four women to be a little envious, jealous and hateful, but Li Qishu was the only one who really dealt with Lan Yingde, not that the others were true, good, and beautiful, but that the power in his hands was not enough to calculate Lan Ying, obviously this problem was not a problem for Li Qishu.

And there is another thing that allows Lan Ying to be sure that Li Qishu is the murderer behind it, that is, the embroidered handkerchief that is exactly the same as her needlework, that embroidered handkerchief in Lan Yingde's memory she only brought in front of Li Qishu, if it wasn't for Mingyue betraying her, then only Li Qishu is possible, how many functions the palace bucket system can have is unimaginable, in case there is a function of pasting, copying, copying, and copying? No one has ever seen Li Qishu's system, and no one dares to pack tickets.

But this did not prevent Lan Ying from guessing, she was originally going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
