113 Don't believe
After a while, the Moli brothers came to a hut in the Xiao family's big vegetable garden outside the east of the town.
Aunt Xiao was cooking in the kitchen on the side, and when she saw them coming, a smile bloomed on Wei Tuan's face.
The smell of steamed steamed buns came from the kitchen, and Aunt Xiao beckoned to the people who came in while stirring the porridge, "Sit by yourself." ”
The Moli brothers smiled and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.
"Pour your own tea and drink it." Aunt Xiao was really not empty at this time, she would stir porridge for a while, and bend down to look at the fire in the stove hole.
"You and Uncle Xiao delivered food to the Zheng family in the morning, did you hear any new news?" Mo Li took out two taels of silver and put them on the table.
Aunt Xiao's eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, and she said happily, "Yes." The six girls are going back, and they are decorating their luggage during the day. She mined a lot of medicine and ore. ”
Mo Qian's voice was hoarse, "Is that all?" You didn't do what we taught you, did you? ”
Aunt Xiao glanced back at them and twisted her waist proudly, "According to what you said, I made friends with Mother Kong in the Zheng family's kitchen, and I have sent more food to her in the past two days." There is no woman who does not like gossip. When the two of them were in the kitchen and were unloading the goods, I chatted with her in a corner outside. Mother Kong said that the six girls would take a detour back to Nanping from Dongping, and asked Uncle Hei to arrange for someone to escort the medicinal materials and ores back to Nanping first. said that the six girls wanted to go to Shenshan Peak to collect medicine. ”
"What line do they take? Do you know? Moli asked.
Aunt Xiao's porridge was boiled, she picked up the big-eared pot and put it on the stove, rubbed her two hands on her black waist, and walked to the table. He sat down and said, "Of course I have inquired." I heard that the six girls were going to take a boat from the East Wharf to Dongpingzhou. ”
From the South China Sea to Dongpingzhou, if there are big ships, it is indeed faster to take the waterway.
Mo Qian nodded. "Haven't heard anything else?"
Aunt Xiao looked at them and said puzzledly: "I specially inquired for you, you want to chase the sixth girl to do business." But I have heard that she is very proud, and that she will not be seen by an ordinary merchant like you. At least the people who have business dealings with her are rich people, and even if there are some rich people, she can't look down on them, and the business dealings of the Chengguo family are all rich and powerful people. I'm afraid you're just going to waste it. ”
"That's why I have to inquire secretly. If she has the opportunity, what scarce goods she needs, those snobbish merchants can't supply them for a while. We've got a chance. Mo Li said in a deep voice.
"What the hell are you doing? I don't want to ask. Anyway, I did my best to ask me to inquire. Aunt Xiao smiled.
"There's nothing else that outsiders don't know about?" Mo Qian pushed the two taels of silver on the table in front of her.
Aunt Xiao's slightly yellow face flashed a touch of red, and they only gave her two taels of silver a few days ago, and she was a little embarrassed. and reluctant to refuse. said with a smile, "It's all a woman's private matter, and it has nothing to do with business, so it's not good to say it." ”
"You don't know. Often these things can also be opportunities, such as what special hobbies the six girls have, and people outside don't know, but we know it, and we just fit it. It's not necessary to make friends with them! Mo Qian touched the goatee on his chin.
Mo Li said. "Don't worry. We just inquired about the situation. I can't do anything if I know it. After all, the Zheng family is a first-class duke, and ordinary people like us can only cling to them. ”
Aunt Xiao thought about it and felt reasonable, looked around, and whispered, "I told you, you should leave quickly." Help you inquire about information and earn some money, my man has no objection, but my son is afraid of getting into trouble. ”
Brother Moli nodded, "You say let's go." ”
"Mother Kong said that the temper of the six girls is strange, and the people below secretly say that she seems to hate the third miss of Anping Mansion, as if there is a portrait of the third miss Ying, every night the six girls have to lose their temper at the painting and pierce the face with a dart knife! You forgot about this when you heard it, and I don't think it will help you in business. Don't get involved in the rights and wrongs of Chengguo Mansion and Anping Mansion! Aunt Xiao said seriously, glancing outside from time to time out of the corner of her eyes, afraid that the man and her son would come back at this time.
"This may be a mistake. We've been walking for years, and we've never heard of such a ridiculous thing. Anping Mansion and Chengguo Mansion have never had any contact, and they are both princes of the court, how can they have a secret hatred? Mo Qian waved his hand and smiled, expressing disbelief.
"But if you can't believe it, I don't know!" They didn't believe it, but Aunt Xiao was relaxed.
"The body of the sixth girl, okay? What do you usually love, what gouache you use, you haven't asked us? Moli asked.
Aunt Xiao's delicate eyes twitched, "The sixth girl is very energetic." I just heard that a few days ago every midnight a little strange, is the face itching, I don't know what allergies I encountered on the mountain recently, she consulted herself, the body is very good, it is this itch, I heard that last night took the medicine has been better. As for the gouache she uses, she makes it herself. Chengguo Mansion lacks nothing, don't use your brains on this. Aunt Xiao looked outside, estimating that the man and son were coming back, and her eyes showed eagerness.
"Isn't she still lacking a suitable husband?" Mo Qian stood up with a smile.
Aunt Xiao glanced at him with disgust and slapped him with her sleeve, "You old man is not serious." People are just choosing, what's your business? ”
"Maybe we've found the right Lang Jun."
The Moli brothers smiled and bowed their hands to her and left.
"Don't come to me for help in the future." Aunt Xiao didn't forget to chase them out and add behind their backs.
Mo Qian turned around and said, "If you don't come in the future, it will save you trouble and make you afraid." ”
The brothers looked at each other, smiled and walked away.
A fast horse galloped from outside the town, crossed the avenue in the middle of the Xiao family's vegetable garden, and galloped into the town, and the wind and dust along the way made passers-by unable to avoid it.
Before the brothers had gone far, they stopped, rubbed their beards, and said to themselves, "Whose horse is this?" Such a battle? ”
Aunt Xiao stretched her neck, squinted her eyes, looked at the meeting, recognized the way from his clothes, and rushed out, "This is the servant of the Zheng family." After that, seeing that the two of them were still a few meters away, they hurriedly hooked their heads into the kitchen.
Brother Moli didn't go back to continue to ask. Winding up the avenue from a ridge of mound. Back in town, after going to a restaurant to eat and drink, go home and take a nap. It was almost the end of the Shen before he staggered to the big bowl teahouse.
At this time, there are especially many people who drink tea.
The two waited for a while, but there was no vacant space, so the two went to find Wu Laoer.
"Come here, there's a guest leaving." Wu Lao Er got a lot of extra money today, remembering what they had been here in the morning, and led them to a single seat by the sea with a smile.
The customer was slowly settling the bill, and saw that they knew they were waiting for a place. I was not in a hurry, I settled the account before I took the money bag. Carrying the cloth bag on his back, he slowly left.
Wu Er cleaned up the table a few times.
"You two, please take a seat."
The brothers sat down and ordered another medium pot of tea and some refreshments.
Wu Er quickly put the tea and fruit on the table, and looked at them with a smile, "Do you have good goods when you go out in the morning?" ”
Mo Li said in a low voice. "Order some goods. But the goods will not be delivered from the countryside to the town until tomorrow afternoon. ”
"Is that going to be done until the day after tomorrow?" Wu Er said with a smile.
Mo Qian nodded, leaned his head in front of him, and said mysteriously, "At noon, we heard that the Zheng family's subordinates rode into the town on fast horses, and the momentum was so fierce that they almost trampled passers-by to the ground. Isn't there something urgent? ”
Wu Er looked around and nodded, "I just heard the guy who went back outside." said that the third lady of Anping Mansion was too naughty, and she had to go to the hurricane cave under Shensao Peak and Shen'e Peak to explore. As a result, five or six children went in, and the second lady and a relative who went with them were rescued, and the others never came out! ”
Mo Li was drinking tea slowly, and when he heard this, he spat out on the ground, almost choking.
Mo Qian was also really shocked, pretending not to believe it, "You said that Miss Ying San went out without an escort." Last month, she went to Jinnan County to check the accounts, but she brought a lot of skilled guards, so she was not killed by the rebellious subordinates. Could it be that the accompanying guards are fools? Aren't you afraid that the third lady will be gone, and you won't be able to pay the difference when you go back? If this is the case, I am afraid that Anping Hou will not know how many people's heads will be cut off with a sword! ”
Wu Er's face was nervous and said, "When that guy said it, we didn't believe it either. He said that the old lady of the Chu family in the town died, and his son Chu Laosan worked for a rich man in Shenshankou, because he suddenly received the news that his mother was critically ill, and the owner gave him a good horse, so he crossed the mountains and mountains overnight, took dangerous roads, and returned home in one day and one night. It is said that when he left, he met people from the Fan family who went to Dongping City to report to the official, and the people from the Fan family who went with the third lady cried to death outside. However, don't spread this matter, I will talk to you for the sake of falling in love with you, after all, this kind of thing is related to the reputation of the third lady of Anping Mansion, if it is not true, it will be spread in the future, and it is not good to have a grudge with Anping Mansion. ”
Mo Li waved his hand, "I don't believe it." ”
Wu Er smiled, didn't say more, and arched his hand, "You use it slowly." It's busy. ”
"You're busy." Mo Qian smiled.
The brothers drank tea casually and looked at each other from time to time.
Mo Li's hand serving tea trembled slightly.
Mo Qian's breathing is also a little difficult, although I don't want Mo Li to like Ying Rong'er, if she really dies so much, I think it's a pity, since these days, everyone has had excellent trust and friendship, no matter what, they are also cooperative friends.
Mo Li's heart was in a panic, he drank tea, ate something indiscriminately, and took out the silver to Mo Qian, "You go to settle the bill." ”
Mo Qian glanced at him, was he really stimulated?
**
"Ying Rong'er is dead? Just dead? ”
When Zheng Qianjing received the news, she was depressed.
Hongzhu kept saying happily, "Providence." It just saves her the effort. In this way, no one can be blamed. ”
Zheng Qianjing couldn't eat dinner anymore, and she was in a trance.
Hongzhu wondered, the sixth girl had to kill Ying Rong'er with her own hands to be happy?
But why does she hate Ying Rong'er so much?
If people are helping Gou Ruyun, wouldn't it be okay to destroy Ying Rong'er's marriage? Afraid of being retaliated against by the Ying family in the future, just suppress Anping Mansion, no matter what, there is no need to let Ying Rong'er die in her hands.
Actually, it's better that way. In this way, there will be less trouble and more trouble, and no one will suspect anything about Chengguofu.
But why didn't the six girls be happy?
At the time, he came from Dongping, and the second messenger, Kuroki, came back.
"Ying Rong'er went to explore the hurricane cave, and it is true that she died inside! Also who died with her were a little girl and her brother who were brought to Anping Mansion from Jinnan County, as well as her cousin Ying Youxin, and Xu Yingchun, the daughter of the Xu family, and Dong Bo, the old servant of the Ying family, and four other guards. ”
Zheng Qianjing looked at him and felt that it was too unreal, "You sent the letter back in a hurry, what if you were rescued later?" ”
Hei Mu said: "After the accident yesterday, I first asked Hei Yan to come back to report the news, and then mixed in the rescue team that Boss Meng was looking for, and personally went into the hurricane cave to find out the truth, and it was not until the officers and soldiers came later that I took the opportunity to leave." You have not experienced the danger in it, Miss Six, if you have experienced it, you will definitely believe that they will never survive. ”
"I'm going to see the Hurricane Water Cave myself!" Zheng Qianjing was not happy in her heart, it turned out that she had spent so much thought and money to get to this point, and Ying Rong'er was drowned by herself in her expedition.
Kuroki looked at her puzzled, "Miss Six, you don't believe us?" It's very dangerous in that hurricane hole. Are you going to go there to arouse suspicion? ”
"At least I have to go to Shenshan Peak. Go down. Tomorrow morning, we will leave the same route! Zheng Qianjing's expression was stern.
How can this be?
Zheng Qianjing stabbed a short dart on Ying Rong'er's portrait, her heart was empty, and her eyes looked at the portrait full of holes, as if she couldn't find herself.
Hongzhu had an inexplicable feeling, but she was afraid that the sixth girl would not kill Ying Rong'er with her own hands, and she was unwilling, so she was so frightened that she knelt down and pleaded, "Miss Six." Don't worry. When we go to Shenshankou, we will know if Ying Rong'er survived by luck later. ”
These words reminded Zheng Qianjing, her mind turned around, and she nodded.
Ying Rong'er shouldn't die so easily, Ying Rong'er must be tortured enough by her before she dies, and she must become a slave in her slave soul bead!
Zheng Qianjing sat on the bed and closed her eyes quietly.
Hongzhu was so frightened that she gently put away the portrait and quietly withdrew.
Zheng Qianjing sat on the bed and breathed quietly, for a long time, suddenly her eyelids jumped, she opened a pair of cold and beautiful eyes, and raised a hand to gently caress her pink face.
"Red Bead!"
Hongzhu rushed in from outside in a panic.
"My face is itching again! Bring me the medicine. Zheng Qianjing endured the itch and wanted to laugh, although it was not fatal, but it was strangely itchy, if she was not afraid of scratching her face, she would like to scratch it with her hands.
"Wasn't it okay last night?" Hongzhu was startled, Miss Six didn't mention anything about taking medicine during the day today.
"Smack." A slap on Hongzhu's face, Zheng Qianjing jumped like thunder, glaring at her fiercely, "Don't you have a brain?" This kind of allergic itching, how can you stop the drug so quickly? It is normal for more than three days to stop the drug! ”
"I'm going to fry it." Hongzhu hurried out.
"Fool with no brains!" This itch upset Zheng Qianjing, so she had to clench her fists to hold back. (To be continued.) )
