Chapter 253: Addiction (3)
Mother Dou got the news early in the morning and knew that the eldest princess of Fuguang suddenly came to the door, so how could she not go back to Mrs. Yun Zhen immediately, but when she went, Mrs. Yun Zhen was still asleep.
The bed tent hung down, staggering on the ground, separating the carved bed, which seemed so distinct that Dou's mother stood in front of the tent, hesitated for a while, and finally did not dare to step forward to lift it. Her heart was slowly filled with doubts, Mrs. Yun Zhen has always been a person who sleeps less and wakes up easily, after returning from the palace this time, why did she become sleepy?
Mother Dou pinched her fingers and calculated, one hour and two hours...... Madame has been asleep for a long time......
Day and night seem to merge into one.
"Ma'am?" After a long time, Mother Dou gritted her teeth, but still called softly through the tent.
There was no movement inside.
The tent did not move.
She sighed and turned to head out of her dormitory.
At this moment, there were suddenly a few bangs in the tent. Mother Dou paused the steps she was about to take, quickly put her ears back, put her ears on the tent again, raised her voice slightly, and said, "Madame is awake?" ”
There was silence in the tent, and then there was a coughing sound.
Mother Dou immediately reached out to lift up the bed tent, hung the copper hook on the bedpost, and then hurriedly brewed a cup of warm water from the purple clay pot resting on the low table at the head of the bed and handed it over with both hands.
Mrs. Yun Zhen was already halfway up by herself, leaning on the head of the bed, and took the warm water.
As soon as her hand was raised, the cup was poured, and a glass of warm water was instantly drunk by her. She gasped slightly, and handed the cup over: "Pour it again." ”
Dou's mother responded and went to make another one.
Thenceforth. After repeating it three times, Mrs. Yun Zhen gave up and no longer let Dou's mother make tea to eat.
Only then did Dou's mother have the time to tell her about the eldest princess of Fuguang, and then asked if she wanted to invite the eldest princess to Qianzhong Garden to talk about it. Mrs. Yun Zhen only said in her heart: "Let her go." ”
Mother Dou was stunned, thinking that she hadn't heard her words clearly, so she mentioned another sentence about the Fuguang Elder Princess's going to see Ruosheng, but Mrs. Yun Zhen didn't even say anything this time, only waved her hand to indicate that she knew.
She closed her eyes and leaned back to slow her breath, as if she had fallen asleep again.
But Dou's mother knew she wasn't asleep. He was still waiting on the sidelines.
Suddenly. Mrs. Yun Zhen opened her eyes, as if she was fighting spirit, and asked, "How much tobacco did you have prepared earlier?" ”
"The slaves and maids were counted yesterday, and there are not many left." Dou's mother replied.
Mrs. Yun Zhen turned half of her face to look at her: "Go and get them all." ”
Mother Dou was stunned for a moment: "Madame, but you want the slave to get it now?" ”
"Hmm." Mrs. Yun Zhen replied lightly.
Dou's mother saw this. I had to retreat first. went and moved all the remaining tobacco to Mrs. Yun Zhen's bed and arranged them one by one. Madame Yun Zhen glanced at it. He coughed twice and asked, "Isn't it time for the new batch to arrive?" ”
"Yes, Madame has not misremembered the day. It will be delivered in about three or two days. ”
Mrs. Yun Zhen's usual cigarettes are all produced by the Lian family, and every few days they are transported to Beijing by the Lian family's boats, and then loaded and transported to Pingkangfang, and sent directly to Qianzhong Garden.
In the memory of Dou's mother, Mrs. Yun Zhen never personally intervened in the matter of tobacco.
This is the first time.
"Take a piece and show it to me." Mrs. Yun Zhen coughed low and commanded.
Dou's mother took out some tobacco according to her words, put it on a plain white satin handkerchief, and held it in her palm to show her.
She glanced at it, and there was a little more patience in her expression, and she suddenly closed her eyes and said loudly, "Take it away!" ”
Dou's mother was caught off guard, bluffed, and hurriedly put away the handkerchief.
Mrs. Yun Zhen closed her eyes, and suddenly stopped talking about tobacco, and instead asked about Yuzhen Yuyin. Previously, Dou's mother had a heart, but she didn't want to talk about it at all, which suddenly asked, Dou's mother was shocked again, and it was easy to put down her uneasiness, and she explained in detail how Yuzhen's body was placed, and how Yuyin disappeared.
"How many more people are sent to find it?" Mrs. Yun Zhen listened and asked.
Mother Dou told this matter again, and said: "The third girl seems to have some hands in her hands, and she has been looking for Yuyin outside. ”
Mrs. Yun Zhen's face was gloomy, and when she heard this, she bowed slightly, and said, "Are the two brothers really the descendants of the Pei family in Pingzhou?" ”
Ruosheng said to her before, although she didn't care too much, but she still instructed Dou's mother to check, there was no trace once, and then check it a second time, no matter how perfect the disguise was, there should be a gap to drill.
When Emperor Jialong and his entourage left Beijing for Qingyun Palace, Dou's mother was still investigating.
It's just that there are no clues after checking again and again, and she has almost dug out the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Pei family in Pingzhou, and the Pei family branch by branch has been brought out one by one for comparison.
Therefore, when Yuzhen fell off the horse, there was no result.
It wasn't until Yuyin fled, I don't know where she was hiding, and everyone couldn't find it, that Dou's mother received the news.
She never mentioned it, but now that Mrs. Yun Zhen asked, she said with a straight face: "The Pei family is not prosperous, the head of the family only has two sons under his knees, and the eldest son has both sons and daughters. If his eldest daughter was alive back then, then her current age should be about the same as Aunt Mei in the Liu Thorn Shi family you mentioned, in addition, he also has two sons, in terms of age, if he is alive, he can also match the two brothers of Yuzhen Yuyin. ”
Mother Dou didn't dare to say it to death, after all, there was no clear evidence, but she had already made up her mind eight or nine points: "I'm afraid it's really a descendant of the Pei family." ”
Mrs. Yun Zhen was silent and speechless, and after a while, she said softly as if talking to herself: "Ah Jiu once mentioned that Aunt Mei hated the Lian family, hated me, and the Pei family would be destroyed by me......"
Dou's mother checked for a long time, but she didn't know that there was such a thing, and she was taken aback when she heard it.
She has followed Mrs. Yun Zhen for many years, and if the Pingzhou Pei family's extermination case was really caused by Mrs. Yun Zhen, she would not be unaware. However, if it hadn't been for this hard investigation, she would have never cared about the Pei family in Pingzhou.
That Aunt Mei must have hated the wrong person!
Mother Dou opened her mouth and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard Mrs. Yun Zhen's voice trembling slightly: "Take the rest of the tobacco and find someone who knows how to take a look." ”
Mother Dou was shocked, and her eyes widened: "Are you suspicious of these tobacco-"
Some time ago, Yu Yin was favored, and most of the people who served Mrs. Yun Zhen to smoke, and almost all of these tobacco shreds passed through his hands.
Mrs. Yun Zhen's voice was hoarse, trembling, and became more and more slight: "Hurry up and ......"
Mother Dou had never seen her like this, and she was in good spirits at the moment, and she was about to go.
But as soon as her hand picked up the box containing the tobacco, Mrs. Yun Zhen's voice came from behind her-
"Leave some, keep some ...... first"
Mother Dou's heart jumped wildly, regardless of the encroachment, she took the things together, turned her back to Mrs. Yun Zhen and said, "Madame, wait a while, the slave and maid will go and let people hurry up to send a new one!" ”
Regardless of whether there is a problem with these tobaccos, now that they are in doubt, they can no longer be used! (To be continued......)
