Chapter 445: Xia Ma Wei (4K, December Pink 1650, 1680+)
"Hot water room?" Zhu Susu was a little surprised, he had never heard of such a thing.
When I was in the Pillar Mansion, the hot water was all in the kitchen. If you have a kitchenette, you can cook it in the kitchenette in your own yard.
In addition, Du Hengshuang's main courtyard has a specially opened ear room, which is used to boil hot water to supply the bath room in the inner room of her main room.
For example, there is a hot water room in the Anguo Mansion, which is indeed very unexpected for Zhu Susu.
"Why do you want to open a separate hot water room?" Zhu Susu was very puzzled, "The Guogong Mansion is so big, how can there be only this hot water room in the backyard?" It's okay when it's hot, but if it's winter, the yard far away from the hot water room, when the hot water doesn't arrive, it will become cold water, who has a problem with the brain? β
The woman grinned and said, "This slave maid has inquired and said that it was Miss Shi's idea." Because these girls who live in the backyard are nameless, they can't use their own kitchens. The big kitchen can boil water, but the more girls there are, the more hot water they need to use, so Miss Shi simply told Steward Kang that another hot water room dedicated to boiling hot water was built in the inner courtyard for the girls in each room, which was cheaper. After speaking, he said: "As for what Mrs. said about carrying water in winter, it will be cold, which Miss Shi probably didn't think of." They lived in this house only two months before their wife, and they had not yet spent the winter here. β
Zhu Susu smiled, "I haven't eaten pork, and I've seen pigs walking." - I haven't spent the winter in this mansion, could it be that they are all from Lingnan, and they don't know what the winter in Chang'an is like in this life? "Someone who can come up with such an idea. Is it too naΓ―ve, or is it pretending to be naΓ―ve?
Zhu Susu didn't take it to heart. For her, these concubines are like the little monsters she had to clear the game in her previous life, if she didn't have it, her hands would still be itchy......
"The slave doesn't know. When the lady said that she wanted hot water, the slave maid sent two people to the hot water room to ask for hot water. The people in the hot water room knew that the lady wanted it, and she was very attentive, so that our people didn't have to wait, go back first, and she would send someone to send the hot water over. When the woman said this, she was very worried. glanced at Zhu Susu uneasily.
Speaking of which. It's a dereliction of duty. If they had brought in the water themselves, it wouldn't have happened. But when they were negligent, they let others take advantage of the loophole......
Zhu Susu stretched his brows and said, "Since that's the case." That's easy. As he spoke, he pointed to the woman and said, "You took the person you went to the hot water room before." Another trip to the hot water room. Let's see if the steward is still there, and if she is, take her to the outer courtyard to see Grandpa. Let's just say that I said it, and the mother-in-law in the hot water room is the key to this matter. β
The mother-in-law's family name is Liu, and the whole family married with Zhu Susu, and he can be regarded as the head of the general manager.
Hearing what Zhu Susu said, Mrs. Liu hurriedly took the two mothers-in-law just now to the hot water room.
Zhu Susu said to the mother-in-law who stayed: "In the future, the water in our yard will be boiled in our own small kitchen, don't go outside." - Go ahead, go and boil me a bucket of hot water. She was dying of exhaustion and needed a hot bath to relieve her tension.
Because today is the wedding of Zhu Susu and Anzichang, the small kitchen in the main courtyard has actually been equipped with hot water.
Soon a bucket of hot water was brought in and poured into a large wooden barrel half a person's height in the bathhouse.
Zhu Susu put a few drops of the essential oil and flower pith he prepared into the hot water before taking off his clothes and soaking in.
The aroma of the hot water mixed with essential oils immediately made Zhu Susu relax and lean back on the groove of the tub, and she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Mrs. Liu took two people to the hot water room, pushed open the courtyard door and entered, but saw that there were four or five corpses lying inside, all of which were the subordinates who had been waiting in the hot water room before.
Zhu Susu was awakened in the bathtub and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Back to Madame's words, the hot water room...... Hot water room...... All the people in the city are dead! Mrs. Liu's voice trembled.
Zhu Susu's heart sank. Unexpectedly, this pool of water was even more turbid than she imagined.
"Well, you ask someone to seal the hot water room, and then send someone to deliver a letter to the grandfather, just say, this matter, eighty percent has nothing to do with those guests, let him let the guests go." Thinking of offending so many guests in one breath because of this flying disaster on the day of his wedding, Zhu Susu also felt a headache. As soon as it came up, it was such a big drama of swords and swords, murder and blood, her wedding must be so exciting=,=
β¦β¦
An Zichang left the main courtyard before and went to the side hall of the female banquet guests in the inner courtyard first.
He didn't have any other ladies in his family, and those concubines couldn't come out to entertain guests, so he invited Xu Shao's step-room, Fang Yuniang, to come over and help him entertain guests as the ladies of the main family.
Du Hengshuang came because the children in the family were small and couldn't do without her, and secondly, because her mother's mother-in-law Fang Niang was here to entertain guests, she was more embarrassed, so she told Zhu Susu that she would not come when she got married, and when Zhu Susu returned to the door in the third dynasty, it was not too late for her to meet her again.
Zhu Susu and Du Hengshuang are lifelong friends, so naturally they don't mind these little things, just let Du Hengshuang take care of himself.
Who knew that this kind of thing would happen.
An Zi often came to the door of the side hall with his hands behind his back, but saw his concubine Shi Xiqian standing at the door with his hands down.
"Why are you here? Didn't I say that you can't come out on this occasion? Anzi is often very displeased. Today is the day of his wedding, and he doesn't want these women to come out and slap Zhu Susu in the face.
Although he has no relationship between men and women with Zhu Susu, he admires her very much, he is very comfortable talking with her, and treats Zhu Susu as a friend, of course he will not deliberately collapse her stage.
The rules that should be followed must be followed, and whoever thinks that they can not abide by the rules has only two ways. One is to go out to the front door, and the other is to turn back to the back door, and the result is the same, that is, to leave the Anguo Mansion.
Their temple is too small to afford these disobedient Buddhas.
Anzi often doesn't even know the names of these women, anyway, someone else sent him. He just found a place to put it, and he was confused about how many there were.
If it weren't for the fact that this time he would have officially started a family, these women would still be scattered around his house.
It was the Kang steward who took them to the Anguo Mansion.
Anzi is not young all year round, and he would rather live in the green building over the years than start a family and inherit the family for the next generation.
Fortunately, he didn't have any elders, and no one urged him.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that he really needed a wife, he wouldn't have moved the mind of getting married.
With a wife, his concubines can be placed.
And before you enter the main room. Women are also needed in this house.
Yasuko often has no female elders. I can only pick someone out of the concubine and manage it for the time being.
Shi Qianqian was the more sensible one selected from those concubines.
Now it seems that there is a limit to understanding. If she was sensible, she wouldn't be at this door.
An Zichang lowered his face and asked, "What are you doing here?" β
Shi Qianqian looked up and saw that it was Grandpa Guo who came, and a dazzling smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Grandpa!" "Hurriedly curtsy. He asked worriedly, "It seems to be running out of water outside." Grandpa. It's going to be okay, right? "From her, you can see the fire outside, but the lady has not seen it in the inner room for the time being.
"I ask you how you got here? This is not the place you came from, not yet! Anzi reprimanded in a low voice. I don't even mention whether there is a fire in the water.
Shi Qianqian knew that Anzi often misunderstood, pursed her lips and smiled: "Grandpa, Mrs. Xu asked me to take care of me here." They don't know who I am, but I am a slave. - Grandpa rest assured, he won't embarrass him. β
An Zichang snorted at the doctor, "You were originally a slave, what is your identity?" As he spoke, he stood in the dark in front of the door with his hands behind his back, waiting for Steward Kang to come over with the list.
Shi Qianqian was teary-eyed by An Zichang's words, and she tried her best to hold back her tears, and stood beside An Zichang with her head bowed, in the eyes of outsiders, she looked like An Zichang's personal maid.
After a while, Steward Kang came in with the list and whispered to An Zichang: "Grandpa, the list of female dependents is here." β
An Zichang nodded, took the list and glanced at it, and found that he couldn't go to the list one by one in person, and the Kang steward was a man, and Zhu Susu was treating the wounded in the main hospital.
"Oh, take it, go through the names on this list. Can't have one more, and can't have one less including the next person, do you know the way? Anzi often commanded.
Shi Qianqian didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly said, "Grandpa, is there a name on it?" β
Ordinary banquet guests, isn't it only the name of the host who came to the banquet? How can there be even the name of the next person?
But An Zichang's set of rules was learned from the Marquis of Zhuguo's mansion, not only the master, but even the maids and servants who followed in had to report their names, so as not to have an accident, and it was not clear from top to bottom.
An Zichang didn't bother to explain to her, and glanced at her, "If you want to go, just go, don't ask you what you shouldn't ask!" β
Shi Qianqian was startled, hurriedly answered "yes", and went in to talk to Fang Yuniang.
Fang Yuniang was sitting on the top, staggering with others, listening to Shi Qianqian's words, she asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" As soon as she heard it, she knew that Lu Dao was unusual, and it must have been an accident in the Anguo Mansion.
Shi Qianqian bit her lip, a little regretful that she didn't think of it just now, and said with a smile: "I don't know what to do, it was ordered by my grandfather." He also pouted outside.
Fang Yuniang knew that Anzi was often standing outside.
"Okay, I'll count the number of people on my side first." Fang Yuniang said as she stood up and said to the people in the house: "Everyone, be quiet, it's unfortunate today, something seems to have happened to the Anguo Mansion, and I am worried that the people brought by everyone will threaten, so for a pair of people, let's see, the people around me are not here." If you're not here, you'll have to go to the open hall where you're staying to count the number of people. β
Most of the female dependents who came today are from Anxi, and they have a bold personality, so they can't see such a thing as hiding their heads and showing their tails, so they all asked, "What's wrong?" What the hell is going on? Want to check our people? β
Fang Yuniang couldn't do anything, looked at Shi Qianqian and smiled: "Miss Shi, you have to say it." β
Shi Qianqian suppressed the excitement in her heart, calmed down, and stepped forward and said: "You ladies and ladies are so offended, just now the Guogong Mansion has gone out of the water, and our grandfather is worried about your safety, so he specially asked me to take a look, is there anything that needs help." If you find that there are people around you who are not here or in the open hall, just tell me and I will help you find them. Everyone knows that water and fire are ruthless, so it's better to be cautious. β
An Zichang heard Shi Qianqian's words outside the door in a hurry, and nodded slightly.
These words are true, neither increasing everyone's panic, nor startling the snakes, he is indeed a talent.
The people in the house listened to Shi Qianqian's words, and they all looked around and counted their masters and subordinates.
Shi Qianqian took the list again and went to the open hall next to her to count the number of people.
Point to point, but all of them are right.
Back in the side hall of the banquet, Shi Qianqian and Fang Yuniang checked the list again, and found that they could all match, one was not much, and one was not much, and they were all relieved.
Shi Qianqian went out of the city to report to An Zichang.
Anzi was often stunned. Didn't they follow these guests and get in?
So where did those two black-clothed women who assassinated come into the Guogong Mansion?
Anzi often knew that the black-clothed woman who escaped was pretended to be Princess Chaoyang of the previous dynasty, and she was also his second aunt......
Thinking about it like this, it seemed that something flashed out of An Zichang's mind, but it slipped too fast, and he couldn't grasp the most important place.
"Go to the outer court." An Zichang hurriedly went to the outer courtyard with Steward Kang to inquire.
Xiao Shiji helped An Zichang to face everyone on the list.
On the male side, there are a few people missing, but it is not the same family's staff, but several.
Anzi's face changed, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he just left those families behind and interrogated them carefully.
These people are all masters, and they don't know about their subordinates, and they can't get the gist after asking for a long time, Anzi is often so annoyed that he can't wait to stab these people into a transparent hole with a sword, but if he really kills them, it turns out that he has nothing to do with him, and he is even more culpable.
In order to stabilize the situation, he has already killed a person today. That person is still a five-grade official in the court, and tomorrow His Majesty will know about Lu Dao, I don't know how Lu Dao will punish him......
Anzi often went back to the next room to drink alcohol and threw the interrogation to Xiao Shiji.
Xiao Shiji also came over after a while, snatched the wine bottle from An Zichang's hand and said, "What's the use of drinking?" β
Anzi often lay on the table without speaking, dipped her fingers in the wine, and drew strokes on the table over and over again.
The two sat quietly for a while, and there was a knock on the door, and then Steward Kang's voice trembled: "Grandpa, there is an accident in the inner courtyard again." β
