30. Chapter 30
The Western Xia Kingdom was a famous female imperial doctor, and as soon as the news came out, it turned the Western Xia Kingdom upside down like a landmine explosion, and every household was talking about it. The imperial doctors in the palace couldn't accept it, they had studied the disease of King Shengqing for more than ten years and still had no clue, but now a boudoir lady said that she could cure this disease, isn't this smacking the signboard of their generations of imperial doctors? As a result, the imperial doctors in the palace were scolding Xiao Jing for not knowing life or death, and he did not hesitate to deceive the terminally ill King Shengqing in order to be the imperial doctor.
Tomorrow is the birthday of the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the house is full of joy, and the little maids are also busy everywhere. At this time, there is a courtyard that is very quiet, that is the Mantuo Garden, the old lady has ordered, if anyone does not have Xiao Jing's permission to trespass into the Mantuo Garden, the heavy punishment will be heavy, so Xiao Jing's courtyard has become a forbidden place for the Zhenguo Mansion, no matter how jubilant the outside is, it will not affect the tranquility of the Mantuo Garden.
"Miss, Aunt Li is here, saying that she has something important to discuss with you." Mama Wang is still lightly smiling, polite and decent.
"Let her in!" Xiao Jing put down the brush gently with her sleeve in her hand, her face was indifferent, and her demeanor was elegant.
After a while, Aunt Li, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked in slowly, first behaved decently, Xiao Jing nodded slightly and sat down, "Auntie should be so busy today that her feet don't touch the ground, how can she have time to come to Mantuo Garden?" ”
"That's right, Madame's dowry has been counted."
"But what's wrong?" Xiao Jing took a sip of the tea prepared by Shuang'er and asked.
"Yesterday, the dowry of a lady was counted, and this is the list." Aunt Li presented the list with both hands. "There is another thing that the slave maid inadvertently discovered, the old lady ordered the slave maid to count the dowry on the day I took the maid to investigate first, the lady dowry is more, respectively placed in the east treasury and the west treasury of the Zhenguo Mansion, the east treasury is a little far away from my yard, I will first go to count the west treasury, the day of the investigation, because the corner of the east treasury fell a night pearl, I ordered the maid to pick it up and put it in the box, but who knows that yesterday when I counted to the corner, the night pearl was gone."
Xiao Jing frowned slightly, compared to other dowry items, the Night Pearl is not a valuable thing, if it is to exchange for silver, he should not only take the Night Pearl, and the Night Pearl will shine at night and will be easily discovered by the guards guarding the door, why would he be stupid enough to steal the Night Pearl?
"That night pearl is very big, it is a superior product, the night can light up the whole room, as long as people with a little brain will not choose to steal it, the thief chooses to steal it slave is really incomprehensible, according to the young lady, will there be anything strange about this matter?"
"Some time ago, Mama Wu disappeared for a few days." Xiao Jing seemed to mention it inadvertently, and Aunt Li frowned, "Could it be that she stole the night pearl for other purposes, not for silver?" ”
Xiao Jing smiled slightly and didn't say more, Aunt Li knew her temperament, and after a slight salute, she retreated lightly.
Mama Wang watched Aunt Li walk out of the room and then stepped forward to remind, "Miss, isn't it time to prepare a birthday gift for the old lady?" ”
Xiao Jing smiled mysteriously at Mama Wang: "Birthday gift!" It's been prepared for a long time. Mama rest assured. After saying that, Xiao Jing went out to the garden.
The flowers in the backyard bloomed as delicately as before, and after that incident, Xiao Qing no longer dared to steal the flowers, Xiao Jing carried the basket to pick a lot of rose petals, and prepared to make some rose cakes for the old lady.
