Chapter 503
Bai Peony is still wearing the color of a third-class maid, a stone blue jacket and an old green Qingzhou cotton skirt, her wrists are bare, but she is wearing a silver hairpin on her head, and she is very inconspicuous.
After entering the house to greet Fu Jun, Fu Jun smiled and said, "Why are you wearing this?" I remember that I rewarded you with two hairpins during the Mid-Autumn Festival, why didn't you wear them? ”
Bai Shao smiled innocently and said, "The maid doesn't bother like this, and others won't think much about it if you ask someone." ”
Fu Jun couldn't help laughing: "You have your own reasons." Okay, and tell me what you've found out again. ”
Bai Shao took a step forward and said softly: "The girl asked the maid to pay attention to the servant woman on the pulp, but the maid asked something. Sister-in-law Wu said that some time ago, Xiuyun from Rongxuantang often went to them to talk, and one day she saw a handkerchief of the girl/mother/, Xiuyun said that the embroidered flowers on it were beautiful, and begged Sister-in-law Wu to borrow her to go back to draw patterns. Because the matter is not big, and Xiuyun is a face in Rongxuantang, Sister-in-law Wu should go down. Two days later, Xiuyun returned the veil, and Sister-in-law Wu didn't take it to heart. ”
Xiuyun?
Fu Jun's eyebrows furrowed.
Zheng stole Fu Jun's handkerchief, so coincidentally, Xiuyun just happened to borrow Fu Jun's handkerchief. Could it be that Xiuyun and the Zheng family are actually connected?
Since being warned by Meng Yuan, Fu Jun asked Bai Shao to secretly investigate the matter. Now it has found Rong Xuantang's head, which is quite surprising to Fu Jun.
However, this should be the only answer.
The servants on the pulp wash were all brought by Fu Jun from Gusu, and it was difficult for the Zheng family to do their hands and feet. Again. Fu Jun has been secretly observing them recently, and has not found out who has anything unusual.
Xiuyun should be the one who took Fu Jun's veil away.
Thinking of this, Fu Jun's heart suddenly had a strange feeling.
No, it doesn't make sense.
Just imagine, Xiuyun is a first-class maid in Rong Xuantang, as long as she says that she wants to borrow Fu Jun's handkerchief to draw patterns, judging from Sister-in-law Wu's attitude in this matter, she will definitely respond. That being the case, why does Xiuyun often go to the pulp washing room to talk? Could she afford to spend so much time on something so simple?
Fu Jun frowned in thought. Suddenly, my heart sank.
"White peony. Did Xiuyun stay alone in the pulp washing room? Fu Jun asked.
Bai Shao immediately nodded and said, "If you go back to the girl/mother/, there is." Sister-in-law Wu said that a few times Xiuyun used to speak, they all happened to have something on their hands. Xiuyun was left alone in the room. But. Sister-in-law Wu said that she was very careful every time. They all locked the cage before leaving the house, and the girl/mother/'s clothes were never short. ”
Fu Jun nodded, but his eyes were slightly cold.
No need to ask. When Xiuyun "happened" to be left alone in the house, it must have been someone from the Zheng family's side who left Wu's sister-in-law. She remembered very well that there were a few times when Zheng was picky and didn't wash the clothes clean, and she said it in front of Fu Jun.
"Girl, the servant thinks that this matter needs to be investigated carefully." Shibu said softly.
Fu Jun groaned: "It really needs to be carefully investigated." But now I don't know what Xiuyun did in the pulp washing room, if I send someone to search, I am afraid that I will alarm people. ”
Shijiang took a step forward, and his voice was softer: "The maid feels that you can start with us first, and there is no hurry to wash the pulp." If Xiuyun wants to do something, the girl/mother/'s underwear must be checked again. But if this investigation is too big, I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it from my wife. The servant has a way. ”
Fu Jun's eyes lit up and said, "You can tell me." ”
Shi Jiang said: "The girl can ask Bai Shao to ask Sister-in-law Wu, and ask about the days when Xiuyun stayed in the pulp washing room. The maid only had to look through the record book against these days, and then she could see what kind of clothes the girl had to wash in those days. When the time comes, only these clothes will be picked out first. I only checked in this house, and it wouldn't be too big if I wanted to move, and my wife wouldn't know about it. ”
Fu Jun's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was full of surprise: "Those pulp washed clothes...... Did you get a booklet to take notes? ”
Shi Jiang nodded, his face slightly embarrassed: "Let the girl smile." Because the girl had a booklet of records when she kept accounts, the maid thought it was very good, so she also learned to make one. In our yard, from the girl to the little girl who sprinkles and sweeps, all the laundry maids are recorded in the booklet. ”
Fu Jun looked at Shijiang in disbelief.
It was simply too much of a surprise to her. Qiu Xiju washes a lot of clothes every day, and Shijiang actually even wrote down this, this girl is really careful to the extreme.
However, it seems that this kind of carefulness is really necessary now, otherwise they will not only have no direction here, but also easily alarm.
Thinking like this, Fu Jun had already laughed out loud and said approvingly: "You are really careful." It would be nice if there were records to be checked. Saying that, she turned her head and instructed Bai Shao: "You go and ask the detailed dates of the days left by Wu's sister-in-law Xiuyun, just ask for a rough idea." ”
Bai Shao laughed, bowed down and said, "Girl, the maid kept an eye when she was talking, and asked about the days when Xiuyun Shan stayed. The maid was afraid of remembering by mistake, so she had already taken a piece of paper and wrote it down. ”
Fu Jun looked at Bai Shao with some surprise, but saw that Bai Shao had already respectfully presented a small note, with several dates written on it, but the handwriting on it did not dare to compliment.
Fu Jun looked at the paper and couldn't help but ask Bai Shao: "Have you learned to write?" ”
Bai Shao's face turned red, and her voice suddenly lowered a few degrees: "If you go back to the girl/mother/, the maid has studied for half a year, and she has only learned ...... Well...... From one to ten, these ten numbers, as well as heaven, earth and people, large and small, um...... That's all there are in the words. The maid is slow to learn words, so please forgive the girl. ”
As soon as she finished saying this, Fu Jun couldn't help but laugh for the first time.
This white peony is simply out of the same mold as the green vines of the year. They are all capable people who inquire about the news, and they are also very difficult to write.
The room full of people, including Fu Jun, all looked at Qingman, and Qingwu covered his mouth and smiled.
Qingman's face was also a little red, and he gently pushed Qingwu and muttered in a low voice: "Look what I do." I can now recognize a hundred words. ”
After saying this, she herself was a little embarrassed, and her head lowered. And they laughed again.
Fu Jun smiled and took the note, nodded approvingly: "Bai Shao has done an excellent job, you didn't learn these dozen words in vain, you learned all the ideas." After a while, I will go to Shen's mother to get a first-class reward. ”
"Thank you, girl." Bai Shao's voice immediately rose again, but her face was even redder than just now. (To be continued.) )
