Chapter 160: Bacon
Soon, Mother Sun brought someone to carry the two large boxes that had been prepared for the Jiang family in the outer warehouse.
Looking at the two big boxes, Mu Qingzhi felt that her stomach was churning.
They can't help but think of the scene they saw in the main hall of the outer courtyard before, it was a lingering nightmare.
The four mothers-in-law carried two large boxes, and Mother Sun carefully advised, "Be careful to put it down." ”
When the box landed, Mother Sun looked at the old lady.
The old lady glanced at the two boxes and said, "Open." ”
After speaking, she picked up the tea and sipped it gently.
The eyes did not look at the big box again, obviously worried that the events of the morning would repeat themselves again.
The others, and the old lady didn't dare to look at it.
Qingyun had nothing to fear, because she knew that there was nothing wrong with these two boxes of things.
The mother-in-law opened the two large boxes.
No, like last time, I heard screams.
Everyone opened their eyes.
The large box was filled with silk and satin.
Mother Sun instructed her mother-in-law, "Pick it up and open it to see." ”
The two mothers-in-law looked at each other, these satins looked fine, but it doesn't mean that there is no problem inside, in case......
But Mother Sun urged again, and the two mothers-in-law could only do it.
The two mothers-in-law took the silk and slowly unfolded it, the silk was smooth, and there was nothing in it.
In the two large boxes, there were eight horses of silk, none of which were tampered with.
There are also two sets of headdresses, four catties of new tea, two catties of ordinary bird's nest, and half a catty of blood bird's nest.
A set of four treasures of the superior study, two knives of the decree, and a pair of colored porcelain plum vases.
In addition to this, there is a cordyceps sinensis or two.
This gift is very heavy.
The old lady sat there and watched. His face became heavier and heavier.
This is not a thank you gift to the Jiang family!
On the same day, she asked the eldest lady to prepare a thank-you gift, and the eldest lady showed her the gift list.
There is no blood bird's nest on the gift list, let alone cordyceps!
The porcelain vase sent is not plum blossom pattern colored porcelain, but blue and white porcelain, with bamboo leaf pattern on it.
Moreover, the proclamation is four knives. It's not two cuts.
Mother Sun is holding a gift slip in her hand. Show it to the old lady and say, "This gift list does not match the contents of the big box." ”
Except that the two knives are the same for rice paper. Everything else is different.
Not to mention that it is impossible for the eldest lady to make such a mistake, she will not send Cordyceps sinensis and blood bird's nest to the Jiang family.
Especially if you don't give it, you won't add it to the gift list, so that the old lady knows.
Mother Sun glanced at Mother Fang. Thinking that she was in such a hurry to rush to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion before, she pulled the eldest lady aside to speak.
There is something else that Mother Sun doesn't understand.
This is what is prepared for the Marquis of Zhongyi. It's just that I don't know which subordinate of the Hou Mansion is so sloppy, and he actually made a mistake in the two gift lists.
Thinking of the things brought back by the Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion today, they were going to be sent to the Jiang family......
If you really send it, you can't choke Old Lady Jiang to death angrily?
The old lady's face was like frost.
The eldest lady stood aside. Her lips pursed into a word, her eyes were as cold as a knife, and she walked to the big box. I took the jewelry box and flipped through it. With a look of surprise, he said, "How did the things I prepared for the Jiang family change?" I bought this jewelry two months ago. ”
She looked angry.
There are three points of innocence in the anger.
Qingyun stood aside, she wanted to see this farce, how the eldest lady could sing it, so as to extinguish the old lady's anger.
Fang's mother knelt down and said, "The old lady is the master of the eldest lady, these things are prepared by the slave maid, and they are also put into the big box by the slave and maid, this cordyceps sinensis is specially used for the old lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion to make up for her body, and the eldest lady bought it with private money, but now it appears in the box given to the Jiang family, that's all, the Marquis Mansion can restore the Marquis, the Jiang family has helped a lot, and it doesn't hurt to send it, but the thief shouldn't have been, he just stole the beams and changed the pillars, and he also did his hands and feet in the box that the eldest lady sent to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion!" ”
Fang's mother turned her lips up and down, and put the fault on someone else's head.
Moreover, she has a lot of point.
The cordyceps sinensis that the eldest lady bought with her private money, it is reasonable to respect the old lady of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and to honor the Jiang family, if it wasn't for someone who was tampered with, it would definitely be the sun hitting the west.
Moreover, Fang's mother has always been rigorous in her work, and it is impossible to put the wrong gift list.
Especially if the big box sent to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is not the same as the big box that is going to be sent to the Jiang family, it is even more wrong.
The only explanation is that someone did something to harm the eldest lady.
It's just that who in the Hou Mansion has such courage, the outer treasury is not an ordinary place, and anyone can enter it casually.
A room full of people wondered who that person was.
Just someone started to suspect Wei Chi.
The matter of stealing beams and changing pillars was indeed done by Wei Chi, but the thing that damaged yin morality should also be counted on his head.
Qingyun was aggrieved for Wei Chi.
This black cauldron, Qingyun can't let Wei Chi carry it.
She stepped forward, looked at the old lady and said, "The bacon in the silk is a lot of weight, is it lost in the big kitchen?" ”
As far as she knows, only Hou Ye likes to eat bacon in the Hou Mansion, and the others don't eat much.
Hou Ye is not in the mansion and often runs errands, so the bacon will not be prepared too much, and it is impossible not to be found if he loses a large piece.
Qingyun looked at the old lady and asked, but her eyes glanced at Fang's mother.
Seeing Fang's mother's panicked eyes, Qingyun smiled.
Sure enough, it was her.
The old lady looked at Qingyun, her eyes stopped on Qingyun's face for a few more seconds before she instructed Qiu Hedao, "Go to the big kitchen and ask, have you lost bacon?" ”
Qiu He bowed his body lightly and turned around to go to the big kitchen.
Fang's mother stood aside, fine beads of sweat on her head, and her back was soaked.
Beads of sweat slipped into his eyes, souring and stinging.
She couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe it.
Qingyun didn't speak, just stared at Fang's mother.
Qingyun's eyes were too obvious, and Mu Qingxue also noticed it, and they all looked at Fang's mother with Qingyun.
Zhou Ziting rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Mother Fang, what's wrong, it's not hot today." Why did you break out in a cold sweat? ”
As soon as she said this, everyone in the room looked at Mother Fang.
The old lady's eyes shrank, and her face turned three points blue.
Mother Fang wiped her forehead and said with a smile, "The slave is fine." ”
It's okay?
When a person is blind, it's okay to break out in a cold sweat?
Zhou Ziting scolded in her stomach, but she didn't say it. can make Fang's mother scared like this. It can be seen that it is her hands and feet.
The eldest lady sat there, her handkerchief had been punctured by her slender nails, and one of her nails had been broken.
She glanced back at Fang's mother.
Mother Fang's eyes had a look of begging. Ask the eldest lady to save her.
The eldest lady gave her a reassuring look.
Fang's mother is her nurse, she has watched her grow up since she was a child, and she is loyal to her.
It was her idea to divide the Jiang family. It's just that this matter is too serious, and she doesn't feel at ease to hand it over to others. Only Fang's mother can rest assured.
Over the years, Fang's mother has helped her a lot, she is the concubine of the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion, and she fights with Mrs. Wang in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. If it weren't for Fang's mother teaching her the truth of how to behave in the world, she didn't know how many times she had died.
She must save Fang's mother's life!
Regardless of Fang's mother being her nurse, she rushed to Fang's mother to do these things. It's all for her good, if she lets Fang's mother be killed by the old lady's cane. What do those who worked for her think?
Let those people help her in the future, they will definitely be afraid.
The eldest lady covered her stomach lightly, her face changed, and she got up and went out.
Obviously, it's convenient to go.
Her maid Bichun went out to serve.
Qingyun knew that the eldest lady wanted to save Fang's mother, but she didn't know how she could save Fang's mother?
Before the eldest lady returned, Qiu He returned.
Also returning with her was Mama Liu, the big kitchen manager.
Mother Liu is the old lady's confidant, she has been in charge of the small kitchen of Chunhui Courtyard for more than ten years, and she has won the heart of the old lady.
Qiu He came in, Fu said, "Old lady, the big kitchen has not lost bacon, Hou Mansion in addition to Hou Ye loves to eat bacon, other masters do not like to eat, so the big kitchen did not prepare much bacon, after the slave took over the big kitchen, study the taste of several masters, the next person then remembered that the marinated bacon has not been dried, so he took it out to dry the wind, those bacon pickled is not very good, the slave did not dare to give Hou Ye to eat, so let the next person re-pickle, just right, that day Fang's mother went to the big kitchen, happened to see the maid cut bacon, there is still the last piece, And he begged for it. ”
Hearing Liu's mother say this, Qingyun's cheeks were suffocating.
Fang's mother took the last piece of bacon, and cut the rest and ate it.
Moreover, it was Fang's mother who prepared things for the Jiang family and the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.
However, even if Fang's mother took a piece of bacon, it was not enough to prove that she put it, because people took it back to eat.
No, Mother Fang knelt down and said wrongly, "Old lady, the bacon slave and maid are begging to be taken back to eat, how could the slave and maid do something that harms the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion?" ”
She was righteous, and she didn't have the timidity to lie.
Because what she said was true, she wouldn't do anything to harm the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, she was the Jiang family.
Qingyun smiled, looked at the old lady and said, "Grandmother, I also don't think that Mother Fang is a person who does such a thing, but at present, she is the most suspicious, but she is not without witnesses, whether the bacon is burned or not, the maid of the Rosewood Courtyard should be clear." ”
Qingyun said, Zhou Ziting looked at her twice, and her eyes lit up like looking at a fool.
She was stupid, when things got to this point, she almost didn't say that Fang's mother had moved her hands and feet in the Hou Mansion to prepare a thank you gift for the Jiang family, but she didn't know why she was replaced, and she was carried to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, so that the eldest lady could steal the chicken and lose the rice, and she suffered it herself.
It's good for her, she doesn't help step on Fang's mother, she steps on the eldest lady, she also helps Fang's mother speak.
Her head must have been squeezed by the door.
Zhou Ziting thought so.
But the old lady won't, although Qingyun didn't say much today, but if she looked closely, it directly affected her to investigate this matter.
It is Qingyun, which connects the rites of the Marquis of Zhongyi with the Jiang family.
It was also she who mentioned bacon, and now it is a sentence to determine the life and death of her mother.
After eating the bacon, Fang's mother's suspicion was solved.
If the bacon is not eaten, and the Rosewood Courtyard is not either, then Fang's mother will not be able to wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
And she speaks intelligently, even she has to sigh and admire.
The old lady instructed, "Go to the Rosewood Courtyard and ask." (To be continued.) )
