Chapter 60: A Strange Murder
Looking at Xiao Jingyao's expressionless face, Yi Jingxiao was very uneasy, and did not shy away from saying: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable. ”
Jiang Yan knew what he was worried about, and thought about mediating it, and said, "My uncle saved Brother Xiao's life, and Brother Xiao went to Ning's house to save people that night." ”
Yi Jingxiao nodded symbolically, and looked at Xiao Jingyao's eyes a little more relaxed: "Thank you for saving the flesh and blood of the Ning family, if he is willing to follow you, then please protect him in the future." ”
His words had already been thrown, but Jiang Yan had no intention of going to live in his house, and at a glance, he knew that he wanted to follow Xiao Jingyao, and Yi Jingxiao didn't need to be bored.
As for Yi Jingxiao, Xiao Jingyao also felt that there was nothing to say, and also symbolically perfunctory: "General Ning is my life-saving benefactor, and it is my responsibility to protect his relatives." ”
I just don't know... Is this prince of Jingde in front of him an enemy or a friend? While others are guarding against Xiao Jingyao, Xiao Jingyao is also guarding against others for others. Gu Xiangyi never trusted him, but he knew his thoughts, but it didn't mean that he could understand Yi Jingxiao and know his thoughts.
There were a few newcomers added to the courtyard, and Pomegranate opened one eye if he couldn't sleep, staring at whether there would be any movement between the three of them, and Gu Xiangyi also couldn't sleep well.
It's not that I'm worried about Qiaoyue and the three of them, but I'm worried about how I'll take every step in the future.
Rejecting Yi Jingxiao seems to have gained a lot at the moment, and she has made a name for herself in the capital, but what's the use of this? She doesn't care about whether her life is good or bad, she only cares about when she can avenge her family.
And if she is too famous, it may not be a good reputation, so it may not do her any good to take revenge.
But during this time, the old slut of the Fu family should not fight the idea of letting her marry.
Even the prince of Jingde opened his mouth to refuse, no matter who she said she was kissing in the future, she could open her mouth to refuse, even if outsiders said that she had a high vision, it didn't matter, it was not as good as Yi Jingxiao's man, it is estimated that even if she had that mind, she would not dare to go to the Gu family to propose marriage.
Why? Because I don't have a face.
Early the next morning, the kitchen people came to deliver the meal as usual, Pomegranate waited for Gu Xiangyi to change the medicine and put on clothes, the master and servant went out of the room together, and saw Qiaoyue sitting on the steps leisurely munching melon seeds, while the other two younger ones were sprinkling and sweeping the yard, and the other was taking care of the weeds that were bent over by the rain at the root of the wall.
Seeing the master come out, Qiaoyue stood up smartly, put the melon seeds in her pocket casually, and rubbed her hands on her shirt: "Qiu Tao, can't you sweep the floor with some strength?" Qiu Xing, you don't need to cherish a fingernail, except for pulling weeds, if we can't work hard for our masters, then what's the use of you?"
Listen, opening her mouth means that she has worked hard, as if she is a few years older and can naturally point fingers at those two people, and in two days, I am afraid that she will dare to be the master of pomegranates.
Why? First, because she is old and thinks she knows a lot, and second, because she is from the eldest lady, Gu Xiangyi she can't afford to mess with, what about the little pomegranate? In her eyes, it's like dough, and the eldest lady can't afford to mess with the sixth girl, and she can't afford to mess with a servant?
Gu Xiangyi didn't speak, and looked at Qiaoyue with a smile.
Noticing the master's eyes, Qiao Yue returned a pleasant smile and said, "Why did the girl get up so early? Breakfast has to wait a while before it is delivered, and it will be the same if you sleep for a while." ”
"No, I'm not in the habit of sleeping in. Pomegranate brought a small pestle, Gu Xiangyi sat down and said, "Besides, if I don't come out, I don't know that this He Yinju is now the head of the Qiaoyue girl." ”
Qiao Yue's expression paused, and she stumbled and said: "The slave maid is also for the good of the girl, I am afraid that Qiu Tao and they will not do their best and mistake the girl's business." ”
"What's the matter?" Gu Xiangyi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What will I be mistaken?"
Knowing that this sixth girl is not easy to deal with, Qiao Yue arranged her in her heart, and there was still a flattering smile on her mouth: "The eldest lady sent the slaves and maids over to serve the girls, and the pomegranate girls did not allow us to do the work in the inner house, it was not good to eat in vain, and the slaves and maids instructed them to clean up the weeds and sprinkle the yard, thinking that the yard would make the girl happy." ”
"No need. Gu Xiangyi said casually: "I am used to this yard, and the wildflowers and weeds have feelings for me, so I pulled out the bare yard and didn't look decent." ”
The smile on Qiao Yue's face froze for a moment.
She understood now that the girl was deliberately choking her to speak, so she reacted and hurriedly shouted: "Qiu Tao Qiu Xing, you don't have to do it, come here." ”
Gu Xiangyi glanced at Qiaoyue coldly, and pretended to ask inadvertently, "I remember that Miss Qiaoyue was tending to flowers and plants when she was by her mother's side, right?"
Qiao Yue replied: "The girl has a good memory. ”
"Then since the flowers and plants are under your control, why do you want Qiu Xing to do the weeding work?"
Qiu Xing, who was named, lowered her eyes, and didn't look at or say anything, looking like she didn't fight.
The degree of trickiness of this question made Qiao Yue speechless for a while, and she couldn't think of any suitable answer, so she had to say: "The slaves and maids take care of precious flowers and plants. ”
"Yes, I forgot, the flowers and plants in my mother's yard are all precious, that's also surprising, and I don't have any precious plants and trees in Heyinju, what did my mother send you to do?"
Qiao Yue scolded in her heart, "Didn't you choose me to stay?" There were so many maids at that time, who would have thought that you picked me?'
But she couldn't pronounce it, so she only said: "The slave and maid are doing good other work." ”
"In that case, Pomegranate, go and fetch the bed clothes I changed into two days ago, and give them to Miss Qiaoyue to wash. ”
Well, there is a big pot of clothes, piled up like a hill, and there are many clothes in it that Gu Xiangyi doesn't plan to wear, but in order not to make Qiaoyue feel better, he doesn't mind turning it out and letting her wash it again.
The autumn sun is getting higher, the autumn tiger is still there, it is getting hotter at noon, and Qiaoyue is sweating all over her body. Where did she wash what clothes on weekdays? Precious flowers and trees need to be served well, but she is used to being lazy, and she has not worked very hard in the Huanxiang Garden, and now when she arrives at He Yinju, she has to bury her head in rubbing her clothes, and the gap is not peaceful.
And Gu Xiangyi didn't care about the resentment on her face, and when she ate dim sum with pomegranates, she didn't forget to reward two pieces of autumn peaches and autumn apricots.
This is a digression, He Yinju is really remote, if no one spreads the news in the Bofu, they don't know about it in the courtyard at all.
There was a murder in the two alleys very close to Zhongyibo's mansion, the bodies of the eight black-clothed people were lying on the ground, and the people stopped to watch and stop, Gu Hengjun couldn't have been unaware.
Early in the morning, he came to the Huanxiang Garden angrily, sighing one after another.
Because of the matter of the six girls, Fu Zhirong and Gu Hengjun were a little embarrassed to help the two of them, and they were not very happy to see Gu Hengjun come in, Fu Zhirong thought that he was here to quarrel.
"What's going on lately! Ge Yan's death has not been conclusive until now, only that he lost his life because of robbery, and the child of the Meng family died on the Mengliu River, and his death was tragic but there was no explanation, as for Meng Fanlin, he lost half of his life, and vaguely listened to the meaning of the imperial doctor, walking is a problem on weekdays, and he can save his life entirely because the knife was a little wrong at that time, what is the matter!" Gu Hengjun sat on the chair, his brows furrowed.
