Chapter 108: Murder with a knife
The good times of spring always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there is the heat of summer. Dew Drop bought a large piece of ice outside and put it in the house, and the Queen Mother rewarded a lot of money, although ice is a good thing, Jiang Ruan is not lacking.
The chilled lotus leaf lotus seed porridge was served by forsythia, Jiang Ruan tasted it, and it was sweet and delicious, cool and pleasant, and it was indeed a summer taste. Although there are not many bamboo trees planted in the west corner of the courtyard, the verdant color is indeed beautiful enough, so that although the sun is scorching outside, Ruan Curie always carries a sense of comfort.
The dew drops were greedy for coldness, and she did all the embroidery work in the house, and Jiang Ruan didn't talk about her. Tianzhu was like an ornament, sitting on the side and watching the dewdrops embroidered handkerchief. In fact, Tianzhu is not not good enough, on the contrary, her embroiderer took out the hand and said that it was a famous embroiderer in the capital, and no one doubted it. Although Jiang Ruan wears bright clothes on weekdays, he doesn't pay much attention to these things, so he simply asks Tianzhu not to do anything. Just keep an eye out for information.
The room was cooler, but the sun outside was getting bigger and bigger, and seeing that it was already afternoon, Jiang Ruan was also a little sleepy after lunch and a bowl of cold sweets. Just as I was thinking about getting up and taking a nap on the couch, someone came to the courtyard.
The person who came was the cuckoo beside Mrs. Jiang, and Tianzhu asked, "Why are you here?" โ
The cuckoo smiled and said, "The old lady's former colleagues came to see the old lady and sent two silk fish silks, and asked the slave maid to send one to the girl." โ
Jiang Ruan said: "Do you have the third sister and the fourth sister?" โ
Du Juan looked at Jiang Ruan with a smile, no one in the Jiang Mansion dared to underestimate this eldest lady now, although the first lady was snubbed by the lord when she was alive, the first lady and the eldest young master and the eldest lady were in the mansion and could be spoiled at will, and they thought that it would be impossible to turn over again in this life. Who knew that now the eldest young master has become a general of the Jin Dynasty, and the eldest lady has also become the lord of the dynasty. Even without the title of county lord, the general's mansion is clearly supporting her, and who dares to underestimate her. Therefore, the human experience is really wonderful. She said: "No, there are only two horses in total, the old lady wanted to give it to Mrs., but Mrs. said that she was old, and it would look good to leave it to the girl in the house at such a good age." According to the status, you and the second miss are well-deserved, and the third and fourth misses are also a little younger. โ
Jiang Ruan almost laughed in his heart, Jiang Li and Jiang Dan are now both big girls, and their four sisters are already the same age, this is to separate the concubines. Originally, this was understandable, and the partial birth was proposed by Xia Yan. Jiang Ruan ordered Bai Zhi to take the silk fish silk and said to Du Juan: "In this way, then I will bother Sister Du Juan to thank my grandmother for me." โ
The cuckoo hurriedly smiled and excused herself: "The eldest girl is going to torture the slave." She looked at Jiang Ruan's smiling appearance, and she was even more embarrassed in her heart. It is said that Jiang Ruan doesn't hold a stand very much on weekdays, and even after being promoted to the county lord, he did not deliberately ask his subordinates to treat her as a county lord. However, as long as she stood there and swept it with a fluttering glance, it made people feel heavy in their hearts. It seems to be a demeanor that only the nobles in the palace have.
After talking to Jiang Ruan for a while, Du Juan left in a hurry.
After the cuckoo left, Jiang Ruan ordered Bai Zhi and Forsythia to open the silk fish silk brought by the cuckoo. Silk fish silk comes from the Persian area, the Great Jin Dynasty is still very rare, such a horse, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth 100 gold. In fact, it is a brightly colored silk thread. Sure enough, as soon as the cuckoo and angelica opened, the dew drops exclaimed.
The silk threads are as white as jade, and they seem to exude a faint luster of pearls, which makes people happy to look at. If you embroider such a flower on your clothes, you can ...... it. It's really going to be a good show among the nobles in the capital.
Dew Drop has said excitedly: "This silk thread is so beautiful, if you let Tianzhu embroider a flower, no, no, no, the flowers are too vulgar, and it is not as good as embroidering fireflies, Tianzhu's hands are so skillful, and they will be able to embroider skillfully." โ
Tianzhu walked in front of the silk fish, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the silk thread, and Dew Drop said distressedly: "You are lighter." Don't break the thread. โ
As soon as the words fell, I saw Tianzhu leaning down and sniffing something on the silk thread.
Jiang Ruan looked at her thoughtfully, and after a while, Tianzhu stood up straight, stretched out his hand to re-roll the silk fish silk and put it aside, and frowned silently.
Jiang Ruan looked at her thoughtfully, and said loudly: "What's the problem?" โ
"The silk fish silk itself is fine," Tianzhu said, "but this one has a spice added to it, and it will have a special effect when it is combined with the silk fish silk." โ
Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows: "What effect?" โ
"When a pregnant man smells this incense, he will have a miscarriage within three days. is an innocent girl, and she won't be able to conceive a child if she smells too much. Tianzhu said lightly.
"What?" Forsythia was startled, and almost rushed up to tear the silk thread in anger: "How can this be?" How could the old lady send such silk threads? โ
Tianzhu said: "The spices on it are still very new, and they should have been soaked overnight to dry." โ
"It's not grandmother, it's Xia Yan." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly. Although Xia Yan is now pregnant and can't come forward with many things, Zhongyan is still firmly in his hands. The things sent by Mrs. Jiang's deceased will be credited to the account, and naturally they will pass through Xia Yan's hands. What Xia Yan wants to do is as easy as a finger. As early as when Du Juan said that the silk fish silk was only given to her and Jiang Susu, she felt that something was wrong. Xia Yan really didn't let her down.
"What does she want to do? What a bold man, he dared to murder a girl in this house! Bai Zhi was also angry, but she no longer thought about Jiang Quan as she did back then.
"She's not just for me." Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "The fifth aunt's belly has passed three months now. โ
Hongying's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and Xia Yan is afraid that he can't sit still. But Hongying's work is not leaky, and her small courtyard is strictly guarded, and even a fly can't fly in. Jiang Quan agreed to Hongying and let her use her own small kitchen, and it was difficult for Xia Yan to start. However, the child in Hongying's belly has always been a thorn in her heart, and the son of Jiang Fu can only crawl out of her belly.
Xia Yan was also in a hurry, so he thought of this method. Although Jiang Quan didn't like Jiang Ruan, the people in the house knew that Hongying and Jiang Ruan had a good relationship. Compared with his stepmother Xia Yan, Jiang Ruan is naturally biased towards Hongying, but he can understand it. Although Jiang Quan was unhappy in his heart, he did not stop it.
Hongying often comes to Ruan Juli to sit, this silk fish silk is so precious and beautiful, even a daughter of Jiang Ruan's age will be eager to use it on clothes. And really wore clothes embroidered with silk and fish silk and sat with the red tassel for a while, and the red tassel turned around and had a miscarriage. When the time comes, when it comes to the clothes, Xia Yanda can say that there is no problem with the silk and fish silk, and Jiang Susu has no problems, and the problem must not be in the material. After reaching the worst, it will become an accident in which Jiang Ruan poisoned the fetus in his aunt's womb.
killing two birds with one stone, not only in addition to the child in Hongying's belly, but also gave Jiang Ruan a reputation for being vicious. What about the county lord, such a charge is pressed on her body, and she can't afford it.
Xia Yan played a good abacus, which is really breathtaking.
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, he waited for so long, and finally waited for the soft turtle to stretch out his limbs, since it moved, it depends on who is neat.
Tianzhu pondered: "Girl, do your subordinates exchange this silk thread with Jiang Susu's silk thread?" Even though he has followed Jiang Ruan now, Tianzhu is throwing himself like following Xiao Shao, calling himself a "subordinate".
"Kill chickens with a knife," Jiang Ruan shook his head: "You don't need to go out, someone will solve this problem for us." "Since Xia Yan is dealing with Red Tassel, how can Red Tassel not fight back?
She said to Tianzhu: "Do you know poison? โ
"I once followed my master to deal with people in southern Xinjiang, and I know a little bit. The spices on this are not unusual. Tianzhu said.
"Very well, is there a way to detoxify?"
"I'll try."
โฆโฆ
When Hongying came to Ruanju as usual, she looked at Jiang Ruan's clothes with some surprise while taking the tea poured by Bai Zhi: "Your embroidery is very beautiful, and the silk thread seems to shine." โ
Jiang Ruan's red chrysanthemum pattern on the top, clearly embroidered a snow-white Luanniao, the embroidery process is very exquisite, the Luanniao embroidery is lifelike, the partial silk thread also faintly emitted a pearl-colored light, but also lined the Luanniao almost flew out of the clothes.
Jiang Ruan smiled: "The silk fish silk sent by my grandmother is very beautiful, if my aunt likes it, she can bring the remaining silk thread back." โ
Such silk threads are rare, and the red tassel is very beautiful, and she was even more overjoyed when she heard this, so she immediately hugged the material back.
After Hongying left, Tianzhu looked at Jiang Ruan strangely, was silent for a while, and still asked, "Why does the girl want to do this?" Wouldn't it be good to just let the slave and maid exchange the silk thread back? โ
"Nature is not good." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Xia Yan naturally has to clean up, but Hongying is too smart, smart people, if they don't have a handle, it is difficult to guarantee their future thoughts." โ
Of course, the most important reason Jiang Ruan did not tell Tianzhu. Because of Pei'er's relationship in the previous life, although she would not pity the child in Xia Yan's womb, she would not take the initiative to kill her. It's one thing to let Tianzhu do it, and it's another thing to guide Hongying to do it. borrowed the method of killing people with a knife, Xia Yan and Jiang Susu played handily in the previous life, and in this life, she will not be bad.
Jiang Ruan instructed Hongying: "Early tomorrow morning, you will go and tell the fifth aunt that there are spices in the silk thread that cause misproduction, and that is the hands and feet of the lady." โ
โฆโฆ
Early the next morning, when the sky was dark and Jiang Ruan Fang was still freshening up, Hongying hurriedly rushed into Ruan's house with the silk fish. Xu was suddenly heavy when he heard the news, and Hongying's expression was with rare anxiety, where is there still the elegance that is calm and unbreakable on weekdays. She asked, "Big girl, what the hell is going on?" โ
Yesterday, she really liked the silk fish silk, so she brought it back to the yard, and thought about what kind of tricks to make, and didn't want to let Jiang Ruan's Tianzhu come over early in the morning to inform her, saying that the silk fish silk was made of hands and feet, and it was something that would make people have a miscarriage.
Jiang Ruan poured her a cup of tea: "Auntie, don't worry, I also fell for this matter, she sighed, if this kind of spice is used by the girl in the boudoir, I am afraid that it will be ...... in the future Infertile. โ
Hongying was stunned, this was something she hadn't expected. Hesitantly looked at Jiang Ruan: "Big girl, what should you do now?" โ
"What else can I do, go find a doctor and watch." Jiang Ruan shook his head.
Hongying said: "How can this be, Mrs. is so vicious, she wants to harm the girl, and she also wants to concubine the child in her belly, this kind of behavior is really hateful." The cheap concubine is just a slave, but the girl is a golden branch and jade leaf, the eldest daughter of the upright concubine in Jiang's mansion, how can she bear this breath. The Queen Mother feels sorry for the girl, if the girl understands the matter of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will definitely be the master of the girl. โ
Jiang Ruan glanced at her with a smile, Hongying is not a fool, and he still wants to use her to deal with Xia Yan? How can there be such a cheap thing in this world, and she is not a bodhisattva, why should she clear the stumbling blocks for the world.
"Aunt really thinks it's better to enter the palace to give the Empress Dowager Ming?" Jiang Ruan said.
Hongying's heart jumped, and when she heard Jiang Ruan's words, she hesitated: "This..." Is there anything wrong? โ
"Auntie can think clearly, this silk fish silk will cause miscarriage within three days of being used on the body, to tell you the truth, my Ruan Ju is actually not very clean, not to mention that when my aunt took the silk fish silk back yesterday, many maids on the road saw it. The Jiang Mansion is not big, and such a small matter can be known if you check it carefully. Since my aunt is pregnant, she has no miscarriage reaction when she is holding silk and fish silk, and Mrs. knows what she thinks, I don't know what she will think? โ
Hongying was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood the meaning of Jiang Ruan's words, only to feel a chill behind her.
Jiang Ruan continued: "I can enter the palace to worship the Empress Dowager, but if the lady is really found out, she will definitely not be arrested, she hates her aunt so much, even if she dies, she will definitely be on her back." At that time, the imperial doctor in the palace is not something that ordinary people can buy, and you can see what the problem is. If my aunt is like this, I'm afraid it will also end up dismally. I don't have anything, and my wife will eventually get something back for harming me, but my aunt is willing to get everything she has worked so hard to get in vain? Is my aunt willing? โ
A word is like a demagogic incantation. Hongying muttered: "Unwilling, unwilling." โ
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly.
Hongying looked at Jiang Ruan and grabbed Jiang Ruan's sleeve suddenly: "Girl, girl save the concubine." The concubine doesn't want to be murdered by her wife, the concubine, the concubine just wants to have a foothold in the house! She finally figured it out, only the eldest lady of the Jiang Mansion in front of her, the current Hong'an County Lord, could save her. Although Jiang Ruan didn't say anything, Hongying knew that she must have a way.
"Auntie, don't be anxious." Jiang Ruan patted her hand, and her smile became more and more gentle: "Madame is now sure that my aunt will have a miscarriage, and if my aunt does not have a miscarriage within three days, Madame will definitely suspect that it will be in my aunt's belly." However, what if the aunt didn't take this spiced silk fish silk? โ
Hongying slowly let go of her hand and looked at Jiang Ruan blankly.
"There are two silk fish silks, one is sent to my yard, and the other is sent to the yard of the second sister. Since I want to show that everything is clean, I think the second sister will also make such a dress. If the maid takes the wrong material, then the aunt has no miscarriage, but the aunt is lucky. โ
Red Tassel slowly came back to her senses. If it is replaced by Jiang Ruan's material, it will be fine, and Jiang Susu's material is spiced. Naturally, she will not have a miscarriage, because the miscarriage is ...... There are others.
Hongying opened her mouth and looked at Jiang Ruan in disbelief: "It's easy for the eldest girl to say, how can the concubine exchange the material?" She thought for a moment: "There are many talented people around the big girl, can you let the big girl ......." โ
"Fifth aunt," before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ruan interrupted her: "Although Madame has a festival between me, this festival is not in a hurry, if I have the intention to retaliate in the future, I will naturally think of it." But Auntie can't wait, Auntie, within three days, if you can't exchange the material, you can't," she smiled slightly: "The idea is miscarriage." This method is naturally feasible, but my aunt's chips are gone. โ
Hongying's heart "chuckled", and Jiang Ruan's words hit her key point. Yes, in order not to arouse suspicion, she can only pretend to have a miscarriage, but in this way, her bargaining chips are gone. If the ingredients can be exchanged, not only can Xia Yan's stomach become empty, but also he can pick it up, then the spices are not Xia Yan's own hands and feet!
Jiang Ruan's voice floated softly: "Auntie really doesn't want to get rid of the child in Madame's belly?" Why don't you ask your aunt about her heart? โ
Hongying's body trembled and trembled, yes, she hated Xia Yan, and hated the piece of meat in Xia Yan's belly even more, if there was no piece of meat, Xia Yan was in the mansion now, and Jiang Quan would definitely put more thought on himself!
Hongying glanced at Jiang Ruan deeply, and suddenly stood up: "Concubine, thank you for the big girl's mention." โ
Jiang Ruan smiled silently, people's hearts are like this, jealousy, unwillingness, comparison, hatred, it only takes a little bit to devour people's reason. Hongying has already made a choice, things in the world are like this, and what is needed, you have to pay the same price.
Before leaving, Hongying turned to Jiang Ruan and said softly: "Big girl, when you gave the silk thread to the concubine, you really didn't know that there were terrible spices in the Dao?" โ
Jiang Ruan picked up the tea and took a sip slowly: "I don't know." โ
Hongying didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
After Hongying left, Tianzhu walked up to Jiang Ruan and said, "Does she really have a way to change to silk thread?" โ
"Nature." Jiang Ruan stared, from the dusty woman in the land of fireworks to the concubine who could compete with the main room, or Jiang Quan, who was quite noble. Hongying is naturally not an ordinary woman, she has been safe and sound in Xia Yan's eyes for so many years, and she has gnawed her bones long ago without any ability.
Hongying is not Zhao Mei. She is much smarter than Zhao Mei, and she is much more ruthless.
Tianzhu looked at Jiang Ruan and didn't speak. Jiang Ruan didn't need to make a move in this matter, and she got a handle of Hongying for nothing, which was naturally much better than her changing the silk thread.
Jiang Ruan lowered his eyes, but a strange smile appeared on his face. There is no mother who loses her child without pain, how painful she was in the previous life, Xia Yan felt the same in this life, and it was far more than that.
