Chapter Seventy-Five: Catching the Thief
Mrs. Jiang asked Luo Yan what she wanted. Luo Yan smiled and said that it was all up to her mother-in-law. Only then did Mrs. Jiang have a smile on her face. She asked Mama Zhu to move over tomorrow morning, and instructed Qi Feng to go to the side room to clean up after a while, and smoke some wormwood to attract mosquitoes.
Qi Feng responded, with an unconcealable smile on his face. Luo Yan looked at her, she quickly lowered her eyebrows and retreated, and went to burn wormwood with brisk steps.
"Mother-in-law is thoughtful, and if Mama Zhu takes care of Rong Xi closely, her daughter-in-law will have a lot of peace of mind......" Luo Yan said goodbye to Mrs. Jiang with a smile, and Rong Xi came out behind her. Walking to the door of the new house, Luo Yan stood still and looked up at the moon in the sky. At some point, a round moon poked its head out of the treetops.
Rong Xi looked up at the moon, and suddenly remembered something, "Lady, let's go see the lotus ......"
"Go by yourself!" Luo Yan thought about her heart and didn't want to pay attention to him. Rong Xi approached Luo Yan's hand, Luo Yan shook it off, and her face was angry, "Let you play by yourself, don't bother me here!" ”
"Jin Yuan! Take your grandfather out to play. Jin Yuan ran over in a panic, she had just arranged the silk thread with Jiu'er and was about to learn some needlework, seeing that Luo Yan was in a hurry, and seeing Luo Yan's bad look, she hurriedly pulled Rong Xi and walked away.
Rong Xi was stunned by Luo Yan's appearance, stunned for a moment, followed Jin Yuan with some grievances, and looked back at Luo Yan step by step, Luo Yan was there quietly looking at the moon in the sky, and didn't look at Rong Xi at all.
Jiu'er knew that Luo Yan had something on her mind, so she stood aside silently. I want to remind her again, do you want to fry Luo Chan's decoction today? was hesitating to speak, Luo Yan asked her to go and get some dim sum fruits made by Aunt Baozhu, as well as all the medicine bags prescribed by Dr. Hua.
Jiu'er came out with a bamboo basket, and Luo Yan whispered: "Let's go, go to Baifu Garden." ”
Luo Yan's steps were fast, and Jiu'er trotted to follow. "Qing'er is usually a good medicine at this time?"
"Yes, usually at this time, I send the medicinal soup over, and Qing'er will bring it back directly to the eldest lady to drink."
Luo Yan was silent and hurriedly entered the Baifu Garden. The mother-in-law who guarded the door of Baifuyuan saw that it was Luo Chan's sister, and the third grandmother of the Rong family came, and she did not stop her with a smile on her face. Ask Luo Yan if she wants to lead the way. Luo Yan said that she was not tired, the woman pointed out the path, and Luo Yan and Jiu'er looked for it.
There is a small stove room behind Luo Chan's house, and Qing'er is cooking medicine. I was taken aback when I saw Luo Yan coming here. Luo Yan motioned to her not to be silent, and let her boil the medicine and bring it to Luo Chan's room. Qing'er nodded. Jiu'er handed the medicine bag to Qing'er and put it away.
Luo Chan didn't expect Luo Yan to come, the two sisters married into the Rong Mansion, and they didn't even visit each other.
"Ouch, sister! If you are one step too late. I'm going to sleep......"
Luo Yan smiled and asked Jiu'er to open the bamboo basket, Luo Chan glanced at the dim sum fruit in the bamboo basket, and knew that it was made of her mother's treasure beads, so she remembered that Luo Yan returned to the door yesterday. She was sleepy all day long, and her mind was confused, so she said that she had to go out to see off her sister so that she didn't lose her courtesy......
Luo Chan smiled, "The cook's skills in my sister's yard are so good!" ”
Jiu'er said crisply: "It was made by Aunt Baozhu herself, and she wanted to ...... eldest lady."
Luo Chan raised the corners of her eyes slightly, thinking to herself that she didn't know how Luo Yan would chew her tongue with her mother Baozhu when she returned to the door...... "Ha, look at my memory!" Luo Chan pinched a snack and put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.
Luo Yan smiled but said nothing. When Qing'er came in with a tray, Luo Yan got up and fanned the soup residue floating on the medicine bowl with her hand, "This medicine seems to be very hot!" She covered her sleeve and inserted the silver needle into the medicine bowl.
Turning around and peeking, the silver needle flashed slightly, and Luo Yan smiled. "Jiu'er, haven't you always wanted to see the garden of Baifuyuan? The moonlight is good today, and the flowers under the moon are also beautiful, let Qing'er take you to see it. ”
Luo Yan begged Luo Chan to let Jiu'er open her eyes, Luo Chan smiled and said that it was just a small garden, not as good as the garden of Yonglu Building, if you want to see it, go there! Luo Chan said and put the medicine bowl on the long table in front of the window to blow it cold. Turn around and yawn. Lying on the chaise longue.
"People say that spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking, but now it's the summer solstice, and I'm sleepy every day."
"Sister has to wait for the decoction to cool down every day before drinking?"
Luo Chan let out an "um" and muttered. This medicine is very bitter, and it is hard to swallow when it is a little warm. I waited until I was going to sleep, and it happened that the medicine was cold.
Luo Yan understood and began to look around at Luo Chan's house. This is Luo Chan's banquet place, the medicine bowl rests on the long table with the flat window lattice, and the garden is outside the window lattice. The garden is full of shadows. The area is not large, but it is layered, high and low, one step at a time.
"Since my sister is sleepy, then I won't bother for now. I went to the garden to look for Jiu'er and went straight back. ”
Luo Chan wanted to get up to see her off, but Luo Yan stopped her and let her rest. Covering the door and coming out, Luo Yan went straight to the back garden. Jiu'er saw Luo Yan coming and stepped forward. Qing'er touched her head and asked Luo Yan puzzled, what is this for?
Luo Yan sighed and pulled them to hide in the bushes outside Luo Chan's window. "Miss, are we going to catch thieves?" Luo Yan whispered in the ears of Jiu'er and Qing'er.
The three of them hid in the bushes, staring at Luo Chan's window without blinking. Qing'er was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she wiped a handful on her body from time to time. "Are there really bad guys?" Qing'er asked in a trembling voice. Jiu'er tugged at her sleeve and told her to keep her silent.
Luo Yan patted Qing'er on the shoulder and told her not to be afraid. Luo Yan thought that although the person who can make this kind of trick is vicious, it is not like a man.
Sure enough, the moon came down with a person, as thin as a willow branch, but walking very stiff. The man stepped into the flowers, the cat's waist was close to Luo Chan's window, looked around, and took out a small bottle from his body and stretched it into the window.
"That's her! Get her! Luo Yan jumped up and ran over, and Qing'er and Jiu'er also came to their senses at this time, rushing over and pressing the man into the flowers.
"Who is so bold?" Luo Yan looked closer, the woman who was pressed under her was in her thirties, there was no surprise and fear on her face, and a pair of eyes stared at Luo Yan fiercely.
Luo Yan didn't recognize her, "What's your name?" Why do you want to hurt grandma? ”
"Big grandma? Phew! The woman yelled and said nothing. Qing'er got angry and kicked her with her foot, but before she could exert any strength, the woman suddenly fell to the ground foaming at the mouth and kicked her limbs wildly.
Hearing the noise outside the garden, several nurses and mothers-in-law rushed to the courtyard, and Luo Yan said that the woman had poisoned her. The mother-in-law at the head lifted the woman's face and shouted suspiciously, "Aunt Mei! "A mother-in-law went to report to Mrs. Cheng, and the mother-in-law and the nurse escorted the woman away.
Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief, "How did the second miss know that someone was poisoned?" How did you get to catch this bad guy in the garden......"
"Then you will naturally know, go and fry the medicine I brought for the eldest lady to drink." Luo Yan looked at Qing'er with a smile, and there were beads of sweat oozing from the tip of Qing'er's nose, shining under the moon. It seems that Qing'er is too nervous. "In the future, you won't have to hide from people to decoction medicine."
Luo Yan and Jiu'er walked out of the garden, and they always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at them behind them, but when she looked back, there was no figure. She pulled Jiu'er to leave Baifu Garden quickly, returned to Mu Xiyuan's own house, and found that Rong Xi had not returned......
