Chapter 064: Pastry Poison (Second Update)
Spring mountains are like daisies, and Nanpu Yunfei is flying.
Morning light, morning clouds, willows, spring water and colorful oil-paper umbrellas constitute a beautiful scenery on the riverside.
Mrs. Jiang has fragrant clothes and gorgeous temples, and her demeanor is dignified, if she doesn't know the details, she really thinks she is a noble lady with noble character.
Because Mrs. Jiang had no daughters under her knees, and Admiral Jiang's concubine had nothing to do, she brought her two nieces to fill up the number, plus the seven or eight maids and women she brought with her, which filled a bridge.
The daughter of the Qi family had to take another bridge.
"Mrs. Qi, in order to have fun, Mrs. Ben specially ordered someone to guard it today, and the idle people are not allowed to approach." Mrs. Jiang spoke meaningfully across the bridge.
It sounds like a good feeling of being superior and well-paid.
Zeng replied with a smile: "Concubine Xie Jiang's kindness, this is really an honor for our family." ”
"Nanpu is a famous spot in our Yuzhang, and now it is the end of April, if it is the first and third months of February, Mrs. Ben will not be able to exercise this power." Mrs. Jiang looked at each other frequently, and her slightly hung eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
But as the Qi family's daughters got closer and closer to the pavilion, Mrs. Jiang's face became more and more heavy.
She suddenly stopped, turned around with a stiff face and asked the close mame, "What's the matter?" ”
The grandmother was already shocked into a cold sweat, "The slave doesn't know either." ”
Mrs. Jiang whispered viciously, "Hurry up and prepare refreshments, if you make another mistake, see that Mrs. Ben doesn't cut you." When I turned around and walked to the pavilion, I was dignified and full of spring breeze.
But Mrs. Jiang is notoriously arrogant, and now she is so approachable, and several wives of the Qi family, who have heard a little about her deeds, all have a hint of foreboding in their hearts.
So when Mrs. Jiang said that she personally ordered someone to prepare breakfast, Zeng immediately flattered: "Mrs. Jiang, the concubine heard that Mrs. likes Jinyiju's breakfast, and she specially booked a banquet with Jinyiju yesterday, so it's better to ......."
"No need, Mrs. Ben prefers the morning of Jufu Building." Mrs. Jiang interrupted Zeng's words and glanced at her subordinates, and the resentment in her eyes trembled.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that something is wrong.
How dare Zeng put his beak in his beak, forced his face, and smiled cautiously.
But the little girls of the Qi family were still so excited to walk back and forth on the bridge, talking, running, and jumping.
Qi Qingyu held Qi Liangyu's hand, listening to her talk about Nanpu's past, and her heart was happy.
After a while, I saw the little maid dressed in all the clothes like a butterfly wearing flowers, holding a food plate and fishing.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at it and hooked her lips proudly. When her gaze slid over the three wives of the Qi family, who were so cautious that she didn't speak and didn't dare to say more, her eyes couldn't hide her contempt.
Sure enough, he is a lowly businessman who does not enter the stream.
When the maid was serving the cloth bowl and chopsticks, Mrs. Jiang's grandmother took out a pair of silver bowls, silver chopsticks, and silver spoons from the rosewood box.
It is engraved with an elegant orchid pattern.
This deliberately differed from the ostentatious and exercisive appearance of the people's row, which made Qi Qingyu sneer in his heart, but the rest of the Qi family didn't feel anything.
It's like someone from the Qi family went to the countryside and disliked other people's old bowls and broken plates.
When the table tops covered with double-layer hollow diamond patterns were covered with the same color and fragrance, Mrs. Jiang cordially called the girls of the Qi family and her own family to come over.
The taste of Jufulou's things is only passable, but it is the most expensive in Quanyuzhang, but the customers are like clouds, and the business is excellent.
Because the proprietor is Mrs. Jiang's cousin, Mrs. Jiang receives a lot of filial piety from this cousin every year. And Mrs. Jiang divided this filial piety into two and sent one of them to the palace.
But when it comes to silver, a Chu family that runs a restaurant and rice grain is just a drop in the bucket for the Qi family.
Mrs. Jiang diligently greeted the wives and girls of the Qi family to eat, and often persuaded them to enter.
Such a "condescending dignity", tsk!
Qi Qingyu secretly observed Mrs. Jiang's movements, and thought to herself that since you are shameless, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Qi Qingyu secretly kicked Qi Liangyu, just on her injured leg. Qi Liangyu was in pain, his chopsticks shook, and the whole piece of golden honey bean cake fell on the table.
Mrs. Jiang's little niece frowned and rolled her eyes in disdain.
Qi Liangyu's face sank, and she was about to stab someone with a knife, but Mrs. Wen Jiang coughed lightly, and she stopped.
Zeng's busy apology.
Mrs. Jiang smiled: "Little girl, it doesn't matter. He even personally sandwiched a piece of crispy potato shortbread for Qi Liangyu.
Qi Liangyu stood up and thanked him, before he sat down to eat, and the two slender eyebrows under his forehead trembled slightly.
Mrs. Jiang listened to Mrs. Qi's compliments, ate the snacks from her own silver, and finally had some real smiles on her face.
Suddenly, Qi Liangyu clutched his stomach and cried out in pain, and fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
Mrs. Jiang was slightly stunned, didn't she say that it would only happen in the afternoon? She squinted her eyes and looked at Qi Liangyu suspiciously, and asked quietly, "What's wrong with Big Girl Qi?" ”
"My stomach hurts, mother, it hurts." Qi Liangyu cried out in pain, seeing that her ruddy and cute little face turned blue.
Zeng was taken aback, and hurriedly told Mama Li to take Qi Liangyu to the hospital.
Of course Mrs. Jiang refused, if she went, she would miss the stuffing, although she could mess around, she still secretly ordered someone to stop the Zeng family.
said nicely: "Mrs. Qi, don't worry, it may be that she has a strong wind, the slave has medicine, quickly wipe some of it." ”
"Yes, it's still a little cold this morning, and Miss Qi is wearing less clothes, maybe she is cold."
"Gather up."
"Six girls, let the slave maid come and smear some medicine on you." ……
The road is jammed.
Mrs. Jiang retracted her gaze with satisfaction.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of "bang", the corners of Mrs. Jiang's eyes twitched, and when she turned her head to see that her slave was fluttering in the water, she could no longer hold back the anger in her heart, and scolded loudly:
"How can this be reasonable, you dare to murder people in broad daylight, it is simply the opposite." Mrs. Jiang sneered in her heart, she was still worried that she couldn't find the crime!
Mrs. Jiang stood up abruptly and walked towards Zeng's group of people with a high spirit.
The second and third wives of Qi were also taken aback when they heard this, and hurriedly left their seats to help, but were stopped by Mrs. Jiang's slaves.
It's worth it, that's a terrible crime! Mrs. Qi quickly rolled up her sleeves and broke in, scuffling with the other party's people.
The sound of cursing, crying, and stopping was higher and higher, almost like a singing hall.
Qi Qingyu didn't care about the chaotic scene, took the opportunity to take out ten silver needles, put his little hand between his fingers, and quickly tried the pastries, goat's milk, and sweet soup placed on the Qi family's side one by one.
It's okay not to try, but after trying it, each one is different. It's not obvious, but it's still telling.
"Come on, hurry up and report to the official, Jufulou poisoned the pastry and wanted to poison us!"
"What did you say?" Miss Jiang, who was watching people fight and pinch, heard Qi Qingyu's words with her ears sharp, and turned back to question in astonishment.
Qi Qingyu said indignantly: "The pastries are poisonous, Jufulou wants to murder the beautiful Sister Jiang, it is really a great crime." ”
When the eldest lady of the Jiang family, who didn't know the details, heard this, her face turned pale, and she shouted at Mrs. Jiang in a panic: "Uncle, it's not good, the pastries sent by Jufulou are poisonous." ”
