Outside the kitchen of the Hou Mansion, three or two maids and daughters-in-law huddled together and whispered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Did you hear about it, Miss Six had an accident!"

"Of course I heard that the Yuexi girl from Diecuixuan also came to the kitchen to get the medicine jars that Miss Six usually uses, and she was stunned in the morning, which scared my old woman!"

"Hey, what's going on?"

"I don't know much about this, but this morning the old lady took people to Diecuixuan, and listened to Ah Xi, who guarded the door, said that the eldest prince went out early in the morning, and when he came back, he brought a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties."

"Huh? What is this man's identity? ”

"I don't know, but Miss Six seemed to have a lot of toss last night."

"You don't know yet! The Baohuan girl next to Mrs. Fang Cai came over and called a few grandmothers and others in the kitchen to question, and there were only a few of us left. ”

"Huh? And what's going on? ”

It was still early, and a few maids and women gathered together to discuss.

The work in the kitchen is usually loose, as long as the meal is over, some maids are more free.

They were discussing, when suddenly a voice broke in, scaring several maids, thinking that they were talking about the master's words behind their backs, and they were also arrested.

When everyone looked at it, they saw that it was the familiar Rue Xiang girl, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Rue Xiang is Xia Xin's maid, some time ago Xia Yun was frightened, started a fever, the doctor gave the prescription of Chinese medicine, these days she has not been running here, and gradually became familiar with these people in the kitchen.

"Aunt Zhu, what are you talking about? As soon as I came, I looked frightened. ”

There is a little girl who is good with Ruexiang, and when she sees this, she said.

"Sister Rue, do you know? Something happened to Miss Six! ”

As soon as the little girl said this, Aunt Zhu next to her glared at her, but she had a smile on her face when she looked at Ruxiang.

"Miss Rue Xiang, don't listen to this little girl's nonsense, she loves to chew the root of her tongue."

Aunt Zhu obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore, and secretly glared at the little girl several times, the little girl was scolded, wronged to death, and pouted dissatisfiedly, and the other maids also chose to keep their mouths shut.

"Aunt Zhu, you just tell Rue Xiang, you also know that our sister is not easy, they are all living on the chopping board, these days Sister Yun is sick, and my aunt and sister are even more bothered, trembling and living, for fear of being implicated by Mrs., you don't know our situation......"

After these days of getting along, these people in the kitchen are quite sympathetic to Aunt Fang.

is also a lady in the house, but one is a concubine and the other is a concubine.

When the sixth lady is sick, she asks the imperial doctor, and when the eighth lady is sick, she can only ask the barefoot doctor at the end of the street, and every time she decoctions, she always waits for the people in the house to use up the stove before allowing her aunt to use it, how difficult it is, not to mention the Li family's suppression everywhere, these days they can see it in their eyes.

The third lady didn't plan to tolerate Aunt Fang and the two sisters, tossing everywhere, squeezing out everywhere, and didn't let them have a good time.

Rue Xiang knew that they were already moved, so she took out a penny of silver from her cuff and secretly stuffed it into Aunt Zhu's hand.

Aunt Zhu raised her eyebrows, a penny of silver, that is their monthly money for a month! Aunt Fang's shot is refreshing.

Looking into Ruxiang's praying eyes, Aunt Zhu told what she knew.

Rue Xiang listened carefully, and the group spoke cautiously, and looked around from time to time, for fear that someone else would come out and eavesdrop on what they said.

Rao was so careful, but they didn't notice that a figure not far from the kitchen had already seen their actions.

Rue Xiang was satisfied with the answer she wanted to know, and walked away with the black medicine bowl.

After taking her away, Yuan'er walked out slowly, her clever eyes rolling.

The maids and women who had talked to Rue Xiang before also dispersed and went back to work in the kitchen.

As soon as Yuan'er walked in, someone called her.

"Ouch, isn't this a Mandarin girl? Why did you come to the kitchen at this hour, but what did Miss Cousin need? ”

It was Aunt Zhu who spoke, and she saw Mandarin Duck at a glance.

I saw that Yuan'er sighed and sighed, "It's not that my sister has any needs, it's that I see that my sister can't eat anything these days, so I wonder if there is any delicious food in this big kitchen to bring back to my sister, don't you know, this hug the moon, the things made now are getting more and more unpalatable, and they can't compare to the little bit in the big kitchen!" I took it upon myself to come and get some food for my sister, if my sister is happy to eat, maybe I can enjoy something, Aunt Zhu, what is there to eat here? ”

This Xia Weihou Mansion, who doesn't know Xia Nan's status in the old lady's heart, this is the object that everyone wants to stammer, together with the maid next to Xia Nan, has also become the object of others' stammering, no, as soon as Yuan'er said it, Aunt Zhu's face was about to smile crookedly.

"Yes, yes, of course, Miss Mandarin Girl, look, this freshly steamed chestnut cake is sweet and soft, I believe Miss Biao will like it, please help me say a few words when the time comes."

"That's for sure." Yuan'er smiled, but her eyebrows were raised again, "But-"

"But what?"

"I remember there were a lot of people in the kitchen, but today, why are there only a few of you left?"

As soon as Aunt Zhu's eyes rolled, she knew what Yuan'er meant, and only listened to her.

"Just before Miss Yuan'er, the Baohuan girl next to the eldest lady took the others away, saying that she was going to interrogate something, Miss Yun'er, I told you quietly, you must not say it." Aunt Zhu leaned on Yuan'er's ear, and the two whispered quietly.

"Oh?"

"As far as I heard, it seems that someone has drugged Miss Six's medicine, and the eldest lady is investigating, I really don't know, who actually wants to harm Miss Six, Miss Six, who is usually such a gentle person, was also framed."

Seeing that the words were pointed, Yuan'er asked again.

"Who are the people who were called by the eldest lady?"

Aunt Zhu frowned slightly, then let go again, and counted them one by one with her fingers.

"There are Ma Pozi, Wang Pozi, Li Auntie, Dade, Jia ......"

"Okay, okay, this goes without saying." Before Aunt Zhu could finish counting, she was interrupted by Yuan'er.

"Aunt Zhu, do you know which maids are in charge of decoction? Who was on duty yesterday? Mandarin finally asked what she wanted to ask, and this was the purpose of her visit.

"The person in charge of Miss Six's medicine has always been the maid next to Miss Five, and every time she is watching by her side, we have never touched Miss Six's medicine, just helping to watch the fire. As for the people who were on duty yesterday, it seems that there are Ma Pozi, Wang Pozi, Aunt Li, Dade, and Jia ......."

Aunt Ma counted again, but Yuan'er didn't interrupt her this time, and kept it in her ears, so she went back to return to Xia Nan.
