Chapter Thirty-Eight: Snowflake Cheese
Hearing that there was no key, Xingyu was surprised: "The eldest lady of Dongfu is the most proper, presumably the person who came to deliver the things forgot, is that person gone?" I'll ask. “
Linglong waved her hand: "No need, it's not a very urgent thing to think about, let's talk about it when I return to the capital, I'm sorry to trouble Sister-in-law Gui, Xingyu, you go and bring some pear candy we brought from the capital." ”
Sister-in-law Gui hurriedly excused herself, Xingyu stuffed a box of pear candy into her hand, and said with a smile: "This is Dongfu's own boiling, it's best to have one if your throat is uncomfortable." “
Sister-in-law Gui coughed twice when she came in, and Sydney Candy was the right symptom. Miss Five's reward was either gold and silver, or a box of candy for coughing. At that moment, Sister-in-law Gui no longer pushed, and left happily with Sydney candy.
When Gui's sister-in-law left, Xingyu was about to ask Linglong about the brocade box again, but saw that Linglong had already returned to the house with the brocade box.
The contents of the brocade box, Linglong has already guessed what it is. The key is not that the person who sent the thing forgot to bring it, but that this thing is secret, and Sun Sanniang was worried that someone would know about it halfway, so she simply didn't give the key.
The copper lock on the brocade box is small, Linglong looked carefully, and knew that this lock was not an ordinary thing, it must be made by a famous craftsman, and it was difficult for ordinary locksmiths to open, if you want to open the brocade box, you can only use an axe to split the box, so you can't hide it.
For thieves, unlocking is not a basic skill, and there are many people who can't unlock the lock, but Linglong is not an ordinary thief, even if the force value has not reached the level of the previous life, the unlocking is hand-to-hand.
In her previous life, she not only knew how to pick locks, but she was also a leader.
Linglong returned to her bedroom, took a slightly thicker needle from the sewing basket, and stabbed the needle into the keyhole as she listened, she could tell the direction by the slight sound of the needle in the keyhole. Ancient locks are not the same as modern ones, but there are always some things that have been passed down, Linglong poked the needle in the keyhole a dozen times, and with a click, the lock opened.
The things in the brocade box were the same as Linglong guessed, that is, the Baihui incense that she asked Sun Sanniang to find someone to make.
This is a real Baihui incense, although the taste is similar to that in Fung's House, but the inner composition is already different.
Linglong breathed a long sigh of relief, she had stopped the Baihuixiang in her mother's room for a while, and in the long run, she would definitely startle the snake, and now Sun Sanniang sent these over, and it was just the right time.
"Xingyu, you find a little girl to call the representative mother-in-law over, I have something to ask her."
Xingyu agreed, so she called the little girl who was responsible for cleaning the yard, Bi'er, to call the acting mother-in-law, and when the representative mother-in-law entered the house, Xingyu flashed into Feng's house with those newly arrived Baihuixiang......
Linglong briefly admonished a few words, and then asked the mother-in-law: "Is your son doing a good job in the shop?" ”
Hearing this, the mother-in-law hurriedly smiled: "It's hard for Miss Fifth to remember, my kid is also doing well, when I came here, he also asked someone to send me some snacks, saying that it was rewarded by the shopkeeper." ”
Linglong smiled: "That's good, the surrogate mother can enjoy the blessings of her son." ”
As she spoke, she raised her eyes and saw Xingyu coming in with a tray, so she asked, "What's in the tray?" ”
"Jin Shun's daughter-in-law asked her to send snowflake cheese, let me eat it while it's cold." Xingyu replied.
"You can still eat snowflake cheese here, Jin Shun's daughter-in-law really has a heart, let's go, take it to her mother, she should also love to eat it."
As she spoke, Linglong got up, and the acting mother-in-law didn't understand what the fifth lady called her over for, so she didn't want to ask too much, so she went to the eldest lady's room in the same courtyard together.
As soon as she entered the house, Linglong covered her nose: "Why does it smell so big?" ”
Feng would drown in his pants almost every day, it was not surprising that there was a smell in the house, in the past, Linglong was not allowed to use Baihui incense, and only relied on ventilation to disperse the smell, but today the smell is too big, so big that she can't stand it.
Dai Pozi took the opportunity to say: "Originally, I used Baihui incense, but there was no such big smell in the house. ”
"Is there still a lily fragrance? Hurry up and take it out, it smells so bad. Linglong commanded, took the snow brand and sat down beside the Feng family, and no longer cared about the affairs of the mother-in-law.
The substitute woman took out a piece of incense cake from the octagonal box, put it in the incense burner and lit it, and the room suddenly smelled better.
As early as half a month ago, Linglong didn't let her mother-in-law use Baihui incense, but she brought this octagonal box here from the capital, obviously thinking that she would light it when she had the opportunity.
Seeing Xingyu coming to the incense burner to smell the smell, the substitute mother-in-law took the opportunity to whisper: "Miss Xingyu, will you still use this Baihui fragrance in the future?" ”
Xingyu was a little impatient: "There is such a big smell in the house, how can you not use it, Miss Fifth let you use it, you can use it." ”
The snowflake cheese sent by Jin Shun's daughter-in-law was finely made, and orange cakes and raisins from Tufanguo were added to it, and Linglong scooped it with a white porcelain soup spoon and sent it to Feng's mouth, but Feng closed his mouth tightly and refused to eat it.
Linglong coaxed softly: "This is cold and sweet, it's delicious, you can taste it." ”
Feng Shi looked at Linglong, and suddenly said, "Sister Xiuzhu also loves to eat, let's send her a bowl." ”
The smile on Linglong's lips disappeared, Xiuzhu was the name of the Song family, the two cousins were very good in the past, and the Feng family felt the most pity for this delicate and weak cousin.
She remembered the terrible herbs in Baihuixiang, gritted her teeth, squeezed out a smile again, and said to her mother: "It's been sent, don't worry, eat it quickly, it won't taste good after a while." ”
Feng Shi opened his mouth and ate a few bites, but said again: "Don't give Feng Wanrong food, Feng Wanrong is damned, she hurt Xiuzhu and won't give her food." ”
Linglong held back her tears and said with a smile: "If you don't give it, you won't give it, you must not give it." ”
Coming out of her mother's room, Linglong walked a few steps, not wanting Xingyu to see the tears that burst out of her eyes.
Even if she finds out that her mother was harmed by Song Xiuzhu with Baihuixiang, her mother is still crazy and won't defend herself, and her younger brother can no longer come back to life, the Jin family still won't forgive her mother, and Song Xiuzhu, the initiator, just needs to find a scapegoat to push this Baihuixiang matter.
A few days ago, Song Xiuzhu was harsh to her daughter, obviously with Nie and Xingyu as testimonies, but her father Jin Min still couldn't protect her, let alone such a thing as Bai Huixiang, Song Xiuzhu could find a lot of scapegoats.
Linglong's heart seemed to be blocked by a boulder, and she was in a depressed mood, she walked through the hand-copying porch to the courtyard, but saw Liuzhu and Qinfei building a rabbit nest with a few rough envoys.
The rabbit nest was very large, and Linglong asked, "How can you build such a big nest, the rabbit is still small." “
Seeing Linglong coming over, Liu Zhu smiled and raised his little face: "Fifth Miss, rabbits may be born, and if you turn around and give birth to ten or eight rabbits, this nest is not too big." ”
Eight out of ten?
Linglong smiled: Dizzy, what am I doing with so many rabbits?
