Chapter 133: A Deal with the Third Aunt
The third aunt was also anxious, and grabbed Qin Mengdie and said, "Miss, wait a minute, aren't you curious about the truth about your mother's death?" ”
Qin Mengdie stopped suddenly, turned her head and asked, "What do you know?" ”
The third aunt didn't nod so much this time, as if she had changed one: "Eldest Lady, are you interested in talking to me?" "It turns out that most of the women in this deep mansion compound have two faces, and no one can guess which one is real.
"Okay, let's go to the pavilion in front and sit down." Qin Mengdie tried her best to calm down, only when she was calm could she get more information.
The two walked to the pavilion and sat down, Qin Mengdie spoke first: "If the third aunt has any requirements, let's make it clear first, this is not a friendship between us." ”
The third aunt no longer beat around the bush and said: "Okay, I like the character of the eldest lady, I heard that the fourth prince sent an invitation to invite the eldest lady to go out of the Qing Qing today, this opportunity is rare, the people who go are all the sons and daughters above the Shangshu Mansion, and most of them are also sons and daughters, so I beg the eldest lady to take Menglan with her that day?" ”
"I promise, then please tell me what you know about my mother." Qin Mengdie has been trying to find clues, but she has no clue, and now she can be regarded as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and she can't let go of any clues.
The third aunt sat close to Qin Mengdie and said in a low voice: "Before your mother gave birth, the eldest aunt sent several fetal pills, all of which were sent by the old lady, and the eldest lady usually didn't dare to take them, but since it was said that the old lady gave it, there are not so many taboos." But it is inevitable that the last person to deal with it is the eldest aunt, and this matter is not clear. I left some medicine residue back then, and I will ask Menglan to send it to you later, but this matter has passed for too many years, and it depends on the ability of the eldest lady if you can't find it out. ”
Qin Mengdie also knew that this matter was not easy to investigate, but with a little evidence, he was a little hopeful, and he couldn't give up, so this transaction was not a loss: "Well, if the third aunt has any new clues, I am still willing to cooperate with you." ”
"Miss Xie trusts, then it's decided." The third aunt said and got up.
The two took their leave. Each of them went to his own yard. Shui Ling still couldn't help but ask curiously: "Miss, are you sure that you will not cause trouble for you when you take the third young lady to go outing, and after all these years." That medicine scum is useless? ”
"Whether it's useful or not is inconclusive. I can't afford to let go of the possibility. So it's a fair deal, and everyone has their own needs, isn't it? Qin Mengdie's footsteps were not fast, still looking at the surrounding scenery. Occasionally, a few birds are singing in the branches, and when the heart is calm, it can better go to the future road.
Shui Ling looked at her young lady relaxed and natural, and she didn't have so many doubts: "Miss, it's spring, is tofu going to be made in large quantities?" ”
Qin Mengdie stopped and quipped: "Are you afraid that I will forget your family, you look at the girl's appearance, this is not bad at all, I am so good to you." ”
"Miss, you can make fun of me if you say anything, I'll just ask." Shui Ling stomped his feet with a handkerchief in his hands and said.
Qin Mengdie shook her head helplessly, pulled Shui Ling and continued to walk back, saying as she walked: "You have such a temper, I really have to suffer if I marry you vigorously, hahaha." ”
"Miss, you say I'll ignore you again." Shui Ling's face was red and dripping water.
"Okay, I won't tease you, in a few days, let Dali go out and choose a yard to buy it, specializing in making tofu, and in the future, that yard will be considered a dowry from me? You see that my young lady is interesting enough, this dowry is enough for you and Dali to raise a few children, and he will not be able to marry a concubine at that time, and your name will be written in the title deed of this courtyard. Qin Mengdie really thought about these maids.
Shui Ling knew Qin Mengdie's thoughts, but she was still inevitably moved: "Miss, for the time being, I don't want to get married, didn't you also say that a woman's body has to be over eighteen years old to be considered to be grown, so I will stay with Miss for a few more years." ”
"Do you think I can let you get married so early, what should I do if you all leave, but when it is time for you to get married, I will not delay, you can rest assured." What Qin Mengdie said was what she said in her heart.
The two talked and entered the Dream Courtyard, and Shui Lian came out: "Miss is back, I'll make dinner, what will we eat at night?" ”
Qin Mengdie suddenly remembered that this spring has come, and the beginning of spring has long passed, but she hasn't eaten spring cakes this year: "You go live some noodles, use hot water and set aside, then cut some shredded potatoes, shredded lean meat, and wash some bean sprouts, I'll do it later." ”
Shuilian went to the kitchen in response, and as soon as Qin Mengdie sat down in the flower hall, the third lady, Qin Menglan, came in: "I've seen the eldest sister." ”
Qin Mengdie didn't return the salute and said, "Sit down." ”
Qin Menglan also groped to understand Qin Mengdie's character, and without saying a word, she put a wooden box on Qin Mengdie's table, and picked up a lower position and sat down: "This is what the third aunt asked me to send." ”
"Well, I know, if you are ready for the outing in ten days, I will not notify you anymore." Qin Mengdie only regarded this as a transaction, because she knew the character of the third aunt's mother and daughter.
"Then thank the eldest sister first, and ask the eldest sister to give me a lot of help that day." Qin Menglan cautiously probed.
Qin Mengdie never said something that he was not sure about: "It's the first time I've participated in such an event, so let's take care of ourselves." ”
Qin Menglan felt bored, so she said some polite words and left.
Shui Lian saw that Qin Menglan was gone, and hurriedly came in: "Miss, the materials are ready, can you do it now?" ”
"Well, let's go, I'll do it."
In the kitchen, Qin Mengdie kneaded the noodles evenly, asked Shuilian to divide the noodles into small agents, then smeared the middle of the two with oil, rolled them thin, and began to cook spring cakes with low heat.
Here apricot pancakes, Qin Mengdie began to fry shredded potatoes, fried bean sprouts, fried shredded meat, and a piece of braised elbow was also cut, and then cut some chopped green onions, and it was busy when it was dark.
First, I asked Shan Xing to send some to the house opposite.
Here are the cakes and dishes served one after another, this table is now full, there are too many people, start eating, there are not so many rules, should use their hands, should grab the vegetables, they are used to having fresh food, and they are not surprised, they are full, and a few maids began to clean up the table.
Qin Mengdie entered the kitchen and took some of the cakes and vegetables left in advance from the tunnel to Xiangwang's Mansion, she was a little scared when she walked through such a long tunnel, and regretted not taking Hong Lie with her, but half of the walk was the same forward and backward, and she quickened her pace and ran forward with her eyes closed.
Suddenly bumped into a person, Qin Mengdie screamed in fright, and threw the food box in her hand.
"Mengdie, what's wrong with you?" Feng Yuye was also taken aback by Qin Mengdie, and asked by her shoulder. (To be continued......)
