Chapter 148: Knowing the Truth
Tied with a note?
That's the carrier pigeon.
It's just that Puying Temple is a place to worship Buddha, and who would use carrier pigeons as correspondence in such a holy place?
Su Nianyu couldn't think of a reason, looked at the carrier pigeon, and planned to ask Yuan Qiu to untie the notes on their feet and see what was said on them.
Yuan Qiu moved quickly, and whispered: "...... What if this carrier pigeon is from the Lingwei Hou Mansion? ”
Su Nianyu blinked.
Not to mention, Yuan Qiu's words were a word to wake up the dreamer.
Right now, Lingwei Hou Shizi also lives in Puying Temple, if there is something important in the house that needs to be informed of Ling Shizi, it is not impossible to use carrier pigeons to pass it.
…… However, that is only a possibility.
Su Nianyu motioned for Yuan Qiu to continue the movement in her hand, and said slowly: "...... What if it's news from our Su Mansion? ”
Yuan Qiu's eyes moved, and he suddenly understood.
If there was anything wrong with Su Fu, it was impossible for him to fly a carrier pigeon to inform his girl.
The girl has been suspicious of Gao Cook's affairs for the past few days, she is afraid that someone in the house will send a message to Gao Cooking, and ask her to secretly do some dirty things while she is in the wild.
Yuan Qiu thought about it like this, and no longer hesitated in the movements in his hands, and listened to his own girl sitting on the side with squinted eyes and said decently: "...... Besides, if it is really the carrier pigeon of the Lingwei Hou Mansion, it is not a big deal, and if we don't tell the outside world about the note we read in the house, who knows? ”
Yuan Qiu: "......"
Yuan Qiu nodded, feeling that the girl seemed to be right. But I always feel weird.
And because the note was tied very tightly on the pigeon's leg, it was difficult to untie it for a while, so I had to give up the weirdness in my heart before. Concentrate on the ropes.
The two were under the oil lamp, one busy, the other watching.
Caught off guard, there were footsteps outside.
The footsteps were soft, but because it was late at night outside, it was very clear in the silence, as if they were stepping on the tips of the hearts of the two people in the room.
The movement in Yuan Qiu's hand paused. He walked to the window in two steps, lifted the corner of the lattice, and looked out by the dim candlelight of the room. I could vaguely see a sneaky person walking not far away.
Come to think of it, the man also knew that it was not safe to wander outside late at night, and he walked lightly; Probably because he was afraid that someone would find out her traces, the person hid behind the big locust tree. Look up at the trees. Look around, as if looking for something.
Yuan Qiu squinted and looked at it, and it was easy to recognize the face, she hurriedly turned around and said, "Girl, that person seems to be a high-level cook." ”
Su Nianyu's eyes flashed, and he reacted immediately, looked at the carrier pigeon that was still held in his hand by Yuan Qiu, and hurriedly ordered: "You hide the carrier pigeon first." Don't be noticed. ”
After finishing speaking, he also put on a coat. Cautiously leaned over to the edge of the window lattice and watched the man's every move outside.
Because they were all the ladies of the Su Mansion, the host arranged them in the nearby courtyard; And because there were as many as seven or eight maids and women brought over this time, and one courtyard could not live, Gao Cooker took the initiative to say that he wanted to live in the courtyard next door.
Su Nianyu let her go.
It's good that if Gao Cooks doesn't live with them, they won't feel too restrained, and they won't startle the snakes.
It's just that Gao Wei is quite patient, since he settled down in Puying Temple, he is very calm, and he has been walking all the way for a day, and he still hasn't found anything wrong with her.
If it weren't for this pigeon flying in the wrong place, I'm afraid that Gao Cooker would still be as stable as Mount Tai at the moment.
She could almost be sure that Gao Biao had come out to find the pigeon, because the pigeon was evidence of her dealings with the people in the house, and the note on the pigeon's feet must have been very important to her.
At this moment, Yuan Qiu found a place for the carrier pigeon to put it aside, and then quietly returned to Su Nianyu's side, she looked out and whispered: "Girl, do you want to put out the candle in the house?" ”
Su Nianyu thought for a while and shook his head, "Just let it burn, it's not appropriate to suddenly extinguish it at this time, maybe Gao Nian will guess that we are still awake." ”
Yuan Qiu nodded cautiously, knowing that the girl was eager to know what would happen next.
The reason why he didn't speak out at this time to curb what Gao Cooker did was just because Yiqiē was just speculation, and it was not certain, and when the girl had further considerations in her heart, how to treat Gao Cook, the girl had her own decision.
The master and servant stood behind the lattice, watching coldly as the high cooks outside walked silently around the courtyard.
Gao Cooker looked very carefully, originally because he had just entered the yard, in the end he was still worried about being seen by the people next to him and it was difficult to explain more, often hidden under the eaves or behind the grass and trees, looking anxiously everywhere, from time to time to raise his eyes to see if there was a maid or mother-in-law passing by; After looking for a while, probably because I didn't meet anyone, I thought I had fallen asleep, and the search was much more bold.
Occasionally, she stepped on the dead leaves, making a rustling sound, and she didn't bother to pay attention, only concentrating on searching everywhere with her eyes.
Seeing that there was no one around, he also learned the cooing of pigeons, and tried to lure out the carrier pigeons that had fallen somewhere.
It's a pity that after looking for a while, there is nothing.
Gao Cooker put aside the lush grass and trees, but there was still nothing, and he was tired of finding it, frowning and muttering: "I obviously saw the pigeon fall into this yard, but now I can't find it, where will it go......
It happened that a gust of mountain wind was blowing, it was clear and cold, and Gao Cooker was defenseless for a while, and he shivered, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to yawn.
I remembered that I was in the place where the eldest girl was resting at this time, and this yawning was bound to make a sound, and it would not be good to wake up the people in the yard.
He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and gritted his teeth to endure it.
It was easy to suppress that breath, and as soon as Fang turned around, her throat itched all of a sudden, and before she could hold her mouth, she yawned loudly.
Fierce and fierce.
I was scared of the high cooking thing.
Covering his mouth in hindsight, he ducked behind a tree in a panic and hid, looking around with his eyes while hiding himself in the depths of the branches and leaves.
When she realized that it was just a false alarm, she wiped a handful of sweat.
Looking up at the only room that was lit, there was a hint of hesitation.
The time she spent in Su Mansion was not short, and the masters in the mansion had some interests and hobbies, and she knew some of them, such as the eldest girl, who had to light the lamp to fall asleep when she slept, so the place that was lit at the moment was undoubtedly the eldest girl's room.
Gao Weishi thought about it, but decided to go over and take a look before he could rest assured.
If the eldest girl just woke up and didn't find her, I'm afraid that the eldest girl and the maid who kept vigil in her room saw her still swaying in the middle of the night, and if she could explain it, it would be able to dispel their doubts.
Gao Cooker walked lightly to the window of the room.
The night was quiet, and there was no sound, only the sound of Gao Cook's own beating heartbeat, she quietly stuck to the window, looked left and right at no one, and looked through the window lattice.
There was a candlestick on the table in the room, and the light and shadow were swaying; Beside the wall is a pair of shelf beds, with transparent white gauze curtains hanging from the floor, and the silhouette of the person wrapped under the quilt can be vaguely seen; And the maid who kept vigil was also lying on the wooden bed under the window, and seemed to sleep very soundly.
It's too good to be better.
Gao Weishi breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the pigeon that had not yet been found, and couldn't help but worry again, she wanted to continue to look for a few more laps, but she heard someone in another room open the door and come out, she hurriedly jumped away from the window and hid directly into the darkness.
I was afraid that I would stay too long and it would be difficult to get out of the house, so I had to sneak out of the yard in the middle of the night.
As if she didn't know that there was another pair of eyes by the window where she was standing.
Yuan Qiu gently lowered the curtain and said to the man on the shelf bed: "Girl, Gao Cooker is gone." ”
Su Nianyu lifted the quilt and sat up, and as soon as he sat down, he instructed Yuan Qiu: "...... You go and get that pigeon. ”
Yuan Qiu snorted, hurriedly took out the carrier pigeon from a basket, and quickly untied the note tied to the bird's foot and handed it to his own girl.
After Gao Cooking's actions, she also knew in her heart that the carrier pigeon she picked up was related to Gao Cooking.
Su Nianyu took the note and spread it out, and a few big characters on it were reflected in her eyes.
Obviously, there are only a few big characters, but the more Su Nianyu looks, the more solemn his expression becomes.
Yuan Qiu saw that something was wrong with her girl's face, so she asked softly, "Girl, what is written on this?" ”
Su Nianyu handed the note to Yuan Qiu, motioned for her to take a look at it too, thinking about what was written on it, a cloud of anger rose in her heart: "This high cooking thing is Aunt Liu's person, and this time I asked Grandma to come out, it was indeed Aunt Liu's intention to hurt Grandma." ”
Su Nianyu thought about Mama Xu's greetings to Gao Cooking's greetings along the way, and her heart was sour, "It's in vain that Mama Fei is so attentive to Gao Cooking, in the end, she is actually a person who wants to kill Mama!" ”
Yuan Qiu had already read the words on the note at this time, and his face was also angry, seeing that his girl was very angry, he had to purse his lips and comfort: "Girl, don't be angry." ”
was silent, and I also felt that Gao Cooking was really personal. The scum said: "Girl, Gao Cook's affair deceived Mama's feelings like this, if Mama knew about it, she would be very sad." ”
Su Nianyu said: "Don't let Mama know about this matter, I will solve it, in the final analysis, even though the Gao Cooking incident is hateful, but the mastermind behind the scenes is Aunt Liu, I not only want to let her plan fail, but also let her go around without eating!" ”
Yuanxiang looked at her girl, stopped talking, just silently put the note away, and asked, "What should I do with that pigeon?" ”
Su Nianyu smiled suddenly.
"Keep it up, I'll still be useful." (To be continued......)
