Chapter 18 Sending Paintings
Bangzi knocked twice, and Aunt Lan finally came.
As soon as she came, Master Jiang's frowning brows barely relaxed.
I saw Aunt Lan wearing a lotus-colored cloud-sleeved gown, her hair was pulled up with a hairpin at will, since she was pregnant, she dressed a lot more elegantly, and her hands were always on her stomach, like a loving mother.
Only Bang Yue and Jiang Zhongrong knew how vicious Aunt Lan was.
This month, Bang Yue started a lot of things, which won people's hearts, and forced Jiang Zhongrong to learn various business books, and later occasionally said a few words to Master Jiang, which attracted Master Jiang to praise him incessantly.
Aunt Lan and Xue Wan couldn't stand it, so they had bad thoughts, and sat hand and foot on the horse she and Jiang Zhongrong were traveling, causing the carriage to suddenly lose control on the way, if Jiang Zhongrong hadn't jumped down with her, I was afraid that it would have fallen apart with the carriage that finally hit the side of the street.
Later, when I asked the groom, I said that I had seen Aunt Lan and the eldest lady's people.
Bang Yue almost went to confront them on the spot, and then thought about it, if she did this, I was afraid that the previous achievements would be lost.
Therefore, I silently made a note in my heart.
At that time, Jiang Zhongrong next to him probably thought of what she had done, and suddenly whispered: "Even so, the child is innocent." β
Bang Yue came back to his senses, knelt on the cushion behind him and replied: "Who is not innocent?" Neither the eldest lady nor Aunt Lan are fuel-efficient lamps, and you think they don't want to kill us, but they haven't found a way not to be suspected. β
Jiang Zhongrong knew that he couldn't say it, he didn't feel that Bang Yue was ruthless, he just didn't want to drag her into the water, once his hands were stained with blood, there was no turning back.
Talking to each other, the family banquet is not deserted, Master Jiang has a total of three aunts, and the other two are not much older than Bang Yue, she has tried it a little, and she is not afraid, so she didn't care much.
Later, Jiang Zhongrong was hungry, and Bang Yue remembered to take out the silver needle from his sleeve and try it in every bowl before he dared to let him eat it.
This scene fell into Xue Wan's eyes, but in front of Master Jiang, she still restrained herself a little, and pretended to speak casually: "What's wrong with Xiao Rong?" You don't need to be so troublesome to eat at home, it's all your own people. β
Master Jiang followed and looked over, a little puzzled.
Bang Yue hurriedly put down the silver needle and walked to the middle: "Don't misunderstand, big lady, it's just that Bang Yue is used to staying in the wind and snow, and developing such a habit is not suspicious of the people in the house." β
When he said this, the little guy happened to come up with a fragrant golden soup Gu and put it in front of Jiang Zhongrong.
He glanced down and casually took the silver needle and put it in, but after taking it out, he threw it away in shock.
Tao Chun next to him stepped forward to take a look and gasped: "Less, young master." β
Bang Yue frowned, walked over quickly and picked up the silver needle, and found that the tip of the silver needle had turned black.
This is okay, Master Jiang hurriedly stood up and slapped the table angrily: "Check, check what's going on for me." β
Originally, today was a good day, but it was disturbed by this silver needle, and Master Jiang kept his face dark until the family doctor came.
The family doctor shook his head: "A false alarm, but two foods that are mutually restrained are put together, producing a faint toxin, and the eater will only have abdominal pain and nausea, and there will be no major problems." β
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief from those present, especially Master Jiang, if this was spread out, it would not sound good to murder the eldest young master of the Jiang family. Besides, now there is a son, what can I do if something happens.
So he said solemnly: "Thank you, doctor, Xiao Rong, don't worry, I will definitely explain this matter to you." After saying that, he waved his hand: "Come on, give me a strict investigation of who made this soup Gu, where did the cook recruit it, I don't understand this, find out for me." β
Soon, the little guy led a few people to retreat.
Jiang Zhongrong patted his chest with palpitations, and subconsciously focused on Bang Yue, as if this would be more reassuring.
It's not that someone poisoned the eldest young master, but that the food was restrained. Knowing that there was a false alarm, Master Jiang was in a better mood, and asked the dancing girl to come up and dance, and then chatted with Jiang Zhongrong, just to ask about some recent homework and trivial things in life.
Bang Yuewu was distracted for a while, and suddenly someone pulled her sleeve.
She turned her head sideways and saw that it was Jiang Zhongrong, and patted him on the back of the head with hatred: "It's really useless, it's scary." β
Jiang Zhongrong was not to be outdone, and said in a muffled voice: "Who knows that it is really poisonous inside, could it be Xue Wan who harms me?" β
Bang Yue couldn't help but laugh: "No." β
"How do you know it's not?"
"Because I made the poison."
Jiang Zhongrong looked at her dumbfounded, and even suspected that he had misheard: "You, what are you talking about." β
"Don't worry, I put in the food of Xiangke, the purpose is to be able to check the drug openly in the future, do you think that when we start to act, they won't do it in the food? And there are so many people who handle the food, it's really hard to check, so for the sake of safety, we have to check every meal, so there is a reason. β
Jiang Zhongrong was still difficult to digest, swallowed his saliva, and suddenly felt that Bang Yue, a woman, was really thoughtful.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance, deliberately scaring me."
"How can I have it, who knew that you were so bold, you knew that you were arrogant in front of me."
Jiang Zhongrong was deflated and stopped talking.
Bang Yue glanced at him with a smile, and said lightly: "The show is still to come." β
Halfway through the family banquet, Bang Yue ate chicken legs in the back and ate a lot, and everyone knew that the eldest young master doted on this maid very much, and secretly guessed their relationship.
Jiang Zhongrong didn't care, raised his hand and poured a glass of wine syrup: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." β
Bang Yue was stunned for a moment, she remembered in a trance that Liu Xuanyu had said the same thing, and she looked at herself dotingly. Now he is no longer by his side, and there is another person by his side.
was a little melancholy, but before she could secretly hurt herself, a person ran in outside the door, and according to that speed and arrogant posture, she knew that it was Jiang Xiaoxiao.
If you want to say that this Jiang Xiaoxiao, she is still a good person, but she is a little arrogant, and Bang Yue deliberately approached her this month, so she knows why she always goes past Jiang Zhongrong.
In fact, Jiang Xiaoxiao likes Jiang Zhongrong very much, but because he always ignores himself, probably because his heart is a little distorted, he begins to deal with him in order to attract his brother's attention.
So Na Bang Yue just said: "Your brother actually has you in his heart, but he doesn't like to express it." β
The girl trusted herself a little, and even her inexplicable hostility was much less.
Bang Yue felt that she was so hopelessly naΓ―ve.
"Daddy. Mother. Jiang Xiaoxiao ran in with her skirt: "It's late, don't blame Xiao'er, come and let me see if my brother will move." β
Jiang Xiaoxiao has a lively temperament, looks innocent and cute, and her voice is like a lark, which provokes Aunt Lan to laugh: "It's only been a few months, where will it move." β
"I think other ladies are making people listen to children like this." Jiang Xiaoxiao leaned over, raised her head after listening for a while, and asked, "By the way, auntie, I want to see the painting." β
Aunt Lan put her arm around her and asked, "Painting, what painting?" β
"I heard that my mother gave my aunt a picture of drunken stars, and as soon as the candles in the house went out, the stars in the painting seemed to be real, and they were extremely bright."
Children like new things, and as soon as she heard Bang Yue say that Aunt Lan had it, she was itchy and wanted to see it.
Xue Wan made a straight face: "That's what I gave to your aunt, your aunt is precious to this painting, in case it is accidentally broken." β
"Smile just wants to take a look."
Aunt Lan had a gentle smile on her face, raised her hand and said, "Xiaoxiao just wants to see my paintings, what's wrong with this, wait for Auntie." β
Soon, the painting was delivered.
At the same time, Bang Yue gave Xia Ying a look.
Most of the candles at the banquet were extinguished, and the painting that was hung high slowly faded into brilliance. Under the starlight, there is a green river, and the glow powder flickers in the dark, such a painting should be loved by anyone.
But when the candle flame was lit again, I don't know who accidentally spilled the soup on the painting, and the small area quickly dissolved, and the paint dripped down the soup. Dizzy.
Aunt Lan stood up on the spot: "Who, which one didn't have long eyes and bumped into it." β
When I turned on the lamp just now, most of the people's eyes were not on the painting, and naturally no one saw it.
It's too bad now, it broke Aunt Lan's beloved painting.
But at this time, Bang Yue pointed to the painting and said, "Hey, what is here?" β
I saw that in the blurred painting, a small piece of red slowly melted, and the melted vermilion water was mixed with white and bright things.
Is there something mixed into the red dye?
Bang Yue hurriedly said: "Master, I sold paintings before I came to Jiang's Mansion, I know a lot, I think this is a bit like toxic lead white, pregnant women are prone to congenital deficiency when they come into contact with more children." β
As soon as these words came out, Xue Wan couldn't hold her breath first, stood up and said, "You are talking nonsense, how can there be lead white in this painting?" β
It was really a wave of unsettled, and Master Jiang didn't look at anyone, walked to the front of the painting, and after carefully studying it for a long time, he ordered: "Go and ask the family doctor again." β
The doctor was also speechless, just a family banquet, he was invited twice, he really felt tired for Master Jiang.
And this time the family doctor looked at it for a while, and then he started to do it, the doctor knew these best, and he knew after a try: "It is indeed lead white, and this toxicity is not weak, but you have to be careful not to touch it directly." β
"What!" Aunt Lan was so shocked that she covered her stomach, her lips squirmed a few times, and then she said, "How come." β
How could this painting ......
Xue Wan saw Aunt Lan's gaze on her, and she was so angry that she smoked: "How could it be me, I gave this painting to me, anyone with a discerning eye knows who will do anything on this painting, and besides, I also bought this painting, maybe the person who painted it mixed cinnabar into it." β
Although the explanation is a little pale, it does make some sense. Bang Yue saw that Master Jiang was deep in thought, so she added fire: "Last month, the fortune teller said that Aunt Lan gave birth to a son, and said that it would be safe and smooth, rich and rich, don't worry, the child will definitely be fine." β
As soon as Master Jiang heard this, the focus naturally fell on the word son, he understood Xue Wan, who had been depressed for a long time because she gave birth to a daughter, but now she knew that Aunt Lan gave birth to a son, so she was not allowed to have any bad intentions.
And Xue Wan saw that Master Jiang didn't speak, she sighed in her heart, and her legs were so weak that she knelt down: "Master, I don't believe Wan'er, Wan'er and Aunt Lan are sisters, how can it hurt her, besides, lead white is just mixed into the paint, as long as she doesn't touch it, it will be fine." β
yes, if you don't touch it, you'll be fine.
But Aunt Lan couldn't put it down, who could guarantee that she hadn't touched it, and she hadn't gone to get pastries to eat after touching it.
"Master Mingjian, this painting doesn't need to be touched, as long as the room temperature is enough, the toxicity will volatilize naturally." Master Jiang glanced at Bang Yue, looked at the family doctor again, and after getting an affirmative nod, his face was very ugly.
"Is there a place for you to speak?" Xue Wan slapped the table and rose up, if a painting was mixed with some paint, it would be nothing, but this Wen Bangyue, one bite at a time, a sense of ominousness rushed down the backbone.
At this time, Aunt Lan was in a huge fright, she could only hide in Master Jiang's arms and cry silently, and she didn't look at Xue Wan.
Xue Wan became excited as she spoke, and after making a lot of trouble, she simply hugged Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was crying, and couldn't move.
After a while, the little servant said, "I didn't find any lead white, and Madame hasn't bought anything like that lately." β
Old Man Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and patted Aunt Lan's shoulder: "Okay, you are pregnant, so you should not be compassionate." It just so happens that the family doctor is here, and you will go to check the pulse again. β
Aunt Lan reluctantly wiped her tears and left.
Master Jiang turned his head, and the demeanor of the head of the family was fully displayed: "This painting is thrown out, and it will never appear again, although Xue Wan, you didn't do this kind of thing, but this painting was given by you, and you have to bear it if something goes wrong, so you will be punished for thinking about it behind closed doors." β
Xue Wan took a deep breath and didn't say anything more.
The feast finally ended noisily, some rejoicing, some weeping.
Jiang Zhongrong walked on the corridor bathed in the moonlight, but he still couldn't help sighing, and whispered: "It turns out that the good show you said is this, how did you count it?" β
Bang Yue was triumphant: "Xiaoxiao, I told her that there are beautiful paintings." As she spoke, she stuffed the soup woman into his hand and jumped on the stone bench herself: "You have also watched the play, but you have to grow a little." β
"Wait a minute, so that painting really causes a child to be born with a deficiency?"
"What." Bang Yue cut off: "No, I'm just talking nonsense, unless she eats more than a dozen drunken star maps every day, and in that scene, no one will deliberately distinguish between what I said is true or false, that thing is really poisonous, everyone's first reaction must be bad for the fetus." β
"Bang Yue." Jiang Zhongrong said lightly: "I sometimes think you are too smart, not good." β
"What's wrong?"
"It's easy to get into trouble."
"It's okay, isn't this you?" Bang Yue smiled indifferently: "It was you and Aunt Ying'er who gave me the warmth of my family, no matter what I said, I have to repay you, besides, they have already made a move on me, and you and I are grasshoppers on a rope." β
Speaking of this, she remembered that Chu Yan'er always said that the six of them were grasshoppers, on a rope. I couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Zhongrong didn't see her laughing, and only said: "But without direct evidence, my father won't punish her." β
"I know, after all, Xue Wan's power is deep-rooted, how can it be so easy to bring her down, I don't really want to bring her down, just let Master Jiang slowly trust you and don't trust her, after today, even Aunt Lan is estimated to be wary of her."
Jiang Zhongrong was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled, smiling as warm as a spring breeze in June: "What are you...... I'm going to break all her wings. β
Bang Yue smiled back: "It's not." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't know where a figure came out, and he slapped Bang Yue when he rushed up, and scolded in his mouth: "You slut!" β
