Chapter 66

Yan Zhaohua asked Liu's to be safe in Qingcang Courtyard, and only retired after saying something, Liu's ordered someone to prepare a few boxes of dim sum, the chef of Qingcang Courtyard is a dim sum master from Jiangnan, very distinctive, Liu's most popular gift to the children in the house is these chic snacks.

Yan Ruiqian and Yan Shuyan had already sent someone to their courtyard, Yan Zhaoning didn't come to Qingcang Courtyard today, so Liu asked Yan Zhaohua to bring it to her.

Yan Zhaoning now lives in the courtyard next to Aunt Gong, when Yan Zhaohua entered, it seemed that something had just happened in the yard, Yan Zhaoning was not there, there was a little girl with red cheeks, she should have just been beaten, red eyes, red face, crying, dyed incense intercepted her and asked:

"What's going on?"

A little maid who had just kept her head pursed her lips, and seemed to want to cry again, but after seeing Yan Zhaohua standing aside with an expressionless face, she didn't dare anymore, Yan Zhaohua ignored her, and walked straight inside two steps, the little maid bent her knees to greet Yan Zhaohua's back, and saw that Dye Xiang was still asking, so she whispered: "The slave did something wrong and was beaten twice by Mama." ”

"How wrong you little girl can do, Mama is too ruthless." Although this girl is not from Changning Houfu, there is no gang in the house, and the foreign maids who dye incense can get along peacefully, listening to Dye Xiang's words, she felt even more aggrieved, and said:

"I didn't do anything wrong, my cousin asked me to dry the beans, but who knew that my aunt came to see Miss Cousin, and when she saw the beans that Miss Cousin asked me to dry, she was angry, and I didn't know why, so I gave several ear scrapers, Sister Dyeing Xiang, you said I was wronged."

Dye Xiang also felt strange when she heard it, why did you make a mistake and get beaten when you dried beans well? I felt sorry for this child, so I took a few pieces of candy from my sleeve and stuffed it into her hand, and the little girl broke into tears and smiled, and thanked Dye Xiang again and again before leaving.

Yan Zhaohua stood behind the weeping flower door and looked at a blooming begonia flower, dyed incense and told Yan Zhaohua what he had said, Yan Zhaohua also wondered, what kind of beans would be beaten inexplicably? At this time, Yan Zhaoning came from the courtyard next door, and when he saw Yan Zhaohua standing at the door, he stepped forward and said:

"When did the eldest sister come, I'll play in my aunt's yard."

Yan Zhaohua smiled, asked Dye Xiang to hand a box of snacks from Liu's to the maid behind her, and said:

"Grandmother has made a new trick there, let me bring you a box. What happened to you in the yard before, the little girl cried, and said that she had made a mistake. ”

When Yan Zhaoning heard this, his eyes moved, but he immediately recovered and said, "Oh, that girl! Alas, it was also wronged, I asked her to dry the acacia beans she brought back from her sister, but she was so desperate that she put them on the ground to dry, and the grandmother next to her aunt said a few words to her, saying that the beans had to be worn with a rope to dry, so that they could be dried in a day or two. ”

"Oh, I see." Yan Zhaohua nodded after hearing this, indicating that he understood, but the doubts in his heart were even worse, what did Aunt Gong do when she came to take care of Yan Zhaoning's drying of beans?

Yan Zhaoning affectionately hooked Yan Zhaohua's arm, wanting to invite Yan Zhaohua in, Yan Zhaohua said:

"I won't go in, my aunt will let me find Sister Rou."

Yan Zhaoning pouted and said, "The eldest sister is better to Sister Rou than to me in her heart. Although we are not siblings of the same mother, we are also half-siblings, and my sister can't be partial! ”

Regarding Yan Zhaoning's coquettish words, Yan Zhaohua responded and comforted and said: "I'm not partial, and I didn't send her snacks at Sister Rou'er." ”

Yan Zhaoning laughed and said:

"Oh, I'm just saying, just kidding, why should the eldest sister take it seriously. Hurry up, and I'll send it to my sister when I've finished the sachet in the next two days. ”

Yan Zhaohua said thank you, didn't stop, and left Yan Zhaoning's courtyard with the incense.

In the afternoon of the next day, I didn't expect Yan Zhaoning to send the finished sachet to Yan Zhaohua, Yan Zhaohua was surprised by her speed, and said, "It's done so quickly?" Are beans dried? ”

"It's dry, I was afraid that I wouldn't do it yesterday, so I put it on the stove and baked it overnight, and the pattern outside the sachet has already been chosen."

Yan Zhaoning wrapped the goose yellow silk cloth in blue silk on the edge, a green leaf of bluegrass in the lower left corner, and the word 'Hua' was embroidered next to the orchid, which really seemed to be heartfelt.

After sending the sachet, Yan Zhaoning left. Dye Xiang couldn't put down this sachet, and asked Yan Zhaohua which set of clothes he was going to wear.

Yan Zhaohua's eyes fell on the sachet in Dye Xiang's hand, and after thinking about it, he said: "I don't wear any set of clothes, just find a box and put it away." ”

It's not that she's suspicious, it's just that she suffered too much loss in her previous life, and she has an instinctive vigilance to what Yan Zhaoning sent, what's more, it's really a little strange, she seems to be in a hurry, she was still letting people dry beans yesterday, and today she actually sent the sachet over, Yan Zhaohua doesn't know what she's doing, but it's always right to be careful.

Dyeing incense didn't say much, Yan Zhaohua did what she told her to do, and found a small box used to hold rouge and put away the sachet. But before she could put it in the cabinet, Yan Zhaohua said to her again:

"Wait, I'll take a look at it."

Dye Xiang took out the things again, Yan Zhaohua put the sachet on the table, stared at it for a while, and saw that the sachet was completely closed, so he said to Dye Xiang: "Bring a pair of scissors." ”

Yan Zhaohua took the scissors and was about to cut them, but Dye Xiang hurriedly stopped them and said, "Miss, just cut it like this?" ”

Before he finished speaking, Yan Zhaohua had already cut off the head of the sachet, revealing the cotton wool inside, and then Yan Zhaohua held the shell of the sachet in one hand, and picked out all the things in the sachet with scissors, there were indeed only three things, cotton wool, dried jasmine and seven or eight acacia beans, and there were no strange things that Yan Zhaohua imagined.

His eyes fell on those acacia beans, Yan Zhaohua flicked them with scissors, and found that these beans were not actually dried, poked them with scissors, and the red skin was broken, revealing the meat inside, and some red slurry, Yan Zhaoning couldn't wait to send her a sachet with no problems. I picked up the shell and cotton wool and smelled it, and there really wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

After struggling for a long time, Yan Zhaohua asked Dye Xiang to put the things that were cut by her into the box, Dye Xiang did so, first the shell and cotton wool, and then grabbed the dried jasmine into the box, and finally brought his hand to the top of the acacia bean, but Yan Zhaohua suddenly stopped:

"Wait."

Yan Zhaohua's eyes stared at the beans suspiciously, why didn't Yan Zhaoning dry it and put it in the sachet for her? Won't the beans that have not been dried in the sun spoil after a few days? I suddenly remembered the flower slave Yan'er in the corridor, she picked a lot of beans and wrapped them for her yesterday, but today, her hands were ...... Generally, when recruiting maids, it is impossible to recruit a maid with such a disease.

Yan Zhaohua didn't let the incense touch, and used scissors to clip the beans into his handkerchief one by one and wrap them. Walking downstairs, Dye Xiang didn't know what Yan Zhaohua was going to do, so she could only follow closely, Yan Zhaohua buried his head in the ground and looked around, and finally stopped at the crack of a stone, Dye Xiang leaned over to look at it, and asked Yan Zhaohua:

"Miss, you're watching...... Ants? ”

Yan Zhaohua was silent for a moment, and then turned to Dye Xiang and said, "Go get some powdered sugar." ”

Dye Xiang was a little speechless, her own young lady is twelve years old, why are she still playing with those seven or eight-year-old children who don't play anymore, playing with ants with powdered sugar, and it's a shame that Miss can come up with it.

Qingzhu also saw Yan Zhaohua squatting in the corner, so he brought a small bench out and asked Yan Zhaohua to sit down, and the powdered sugar that dyed quickly took out, Yan Zhaohua took the powdered sugar, and then spread the handkerchief in his hand on the ground, after thinking about it, he pulled out a hosta on his head, crushed the red fruit with the hairpin, added some powdered sugar to the red liquid, and then picked up some with the tip of the hairpin, and put it next to the ant burrow in front of the crack in the stone, and then sat there and observed quietly.

On the second floor of the bamboo garden, Pei Xuan supported the windowsill with both hands, looking at what was happening in the courtyard next door, what kind of moth was the girl doing?

Yan Zhaohua sat there motionless for a long time, Dye Xiang and Qingzhu called her, but she didn't react, just stared at the ground intently.

After about half a pillar of incense, the ant colony finally found the piece of sugar, several groups surrounded it, touched it with their tentacles, and then gradually more ants came over, Yan Zhaohua watched these small things crawl into the sugar stain mixed with the pulp, but it didn't take much effort, the ants in the sugar stain couldn't move anymore, and at the same time, as long as the ants next to them were stained with sugar liquid, they couldn't move and died in front of the cave.

Yan Zhaohua raised his head in shock, and his eyes fell on the remaining acacia beans on the veil, where is this acacia bean, it is simply a life-threatening bean! The ant touched the juice and died immediately, the day before yesterday, Yan'er picked it with her hands, and the next day she sent moss, which is probably because she just touched it with her hands, if someone accidentally enters it, the consequences ...... It's unimaginable.

However, how can acacia beans be highly poisonous? Looking at the black at the top of the bean, Yan Zhaohua couldn't talk to himself for a long time.

After thinking about it, after all, he couldn't sit idly by, and after wrapping the poison, he went to Gu's place.

When Yan Zhaohua rushed to Gu's place, Gu was not in the bedroom, and only after asking the maid did he know that the imperial doctor in the palace came to ask for a pulse today, and Gu went to the flower hall, Yan Zhaohua walked to the cloister and stared at the two rows of green plants full of acacia beans, because Gu liked this, so she ordered someone to set up a chair and a coffee table, and she would sit here when she wanted to come to her leisure.

Yan Zhaohua wasn't sure if there would be a problem if this thing wasn't contaminated, but thinking of the death of those ants, Yan Zhaohua only felt that his scalp was numb and his heart was beating badly, who wanted to harm Gu's, and still used such a vicious method, Yan Zhaohua couldn't conclude that Gu's discomfort these days was not because of this, but there was such a poison outside her window, there must be a ghost.
