165. The truth
According to Lu He, Liu Chunmiao was very angry when she learned that Zeng Rong had been living in Qin Chuxue's house since the first day of the Lunar New Year, and once wanted Lu He to live with her, but Lu He did not agree.
When Lu He went to send knee pads to Qin Chuxue a few years ago, Qin Chuxue was very cold to her, and later ordered Xiaocui to return the knee pads to her, which would make her know that Zeng Rong would live in and she would follow her, and it was clear that the other party would not agree, so why bother to come forward to annoy people?
Green Lotus didn't go, Liu Chunmiao went to the door under the pretext of sending food to Qin Chuxue, and happened to meet Zeng Rong carefully applying radish puree to Qin Chuxue's knees, and the careful care and the distress that flowed out inadvertently from the bottom of his eyes stimulated Liu Chunmiao.
In addition, the chessboard on the kang table and the books that were readily available on the kang also made Liu Chunmiao confirm one thing, Qin Chuxue began to train Zeng Rong, which showed that Qin Chuxue had made up his mind.
Liu Chunmiao was naturally unwilling to let the person in her picture be abducted by Qin Chuxue, she didn't think about winning Zeng Rong over through legitimate means, but the problem was that Zeng Rong had a preconceived idea, and there was not much time left for Liu Chunmiao.
There was no way, she had to fight the idea of the gold leaf thread, the eunuch was found by Liu Chunmiao herself, this matter was done during the day on the fifth day of the first month, not at night, because Liu Chunmiao had a good reason to inspect, those days happened to be closed, and no one came to the workshop except for the palace maid and eunuch on duty.
Therefore, Liu Chunmiao guarded a door, and the eunuch wrung out the iron ring on the door of the workshop by himself, and the door on the cabinet was also opened like this, and then nailed it in its original position, leaving some traces.
And that day was also a coincidence, everyone talked about Zeng Rong's embroidery in the dormitory, talking about the longevity dress she recently embroidered for the Queen Mother, many people have seen it, saying that the words on it are really good-looking, not like Zeng Rong's pen body, and some people say that it is not like a woman's word, not Juan Xiu at all.
These words made Lu He's heart move, on the one hand, she was curious about whose word it was, and on the other hand, she also wanted to observe the embroidery, with her relationship with Zeng Rong, it was impossible to observe it generously, and it was best to sit down and grind while Zeng Rong was away.
But it happened that she and Hongling were on duty after the New Year's Eve, and the key was handed over to her after work on Chinese New Year's Eve, so she took the book and walked to the workshop.
This book was brought temporarily, and after reading the embroidery, she wanted to stay in the workshop and memorize the poems for a while, but the dormitory was too noisy, and it was difficult for her to read the book quietly.
Who knew that when she just turned to the courtyard gate of the workshop, she saw Liu Chunmiao standing under the porch in front of the workshop, saw the green lotus, greeted her, and asked why the green lotus came.
"I didn't dare to say that I came to see your shouji, for fear that she would suspect that I wanted to do something bad, so I said that I came to read the book, and that the dormitory was too noisy. When Aunt Liu heard this, she gave me the key to her house and asked me to go to her house to get a hand stove for her. ”
When Green Lotus came back, Liu Chunmiao waited under the corridor of the workshop, saying that he had to go elsewhere to inspect, and told Green Lotus not to stay in the workshop for a long time, because he had not burned the stove for several days, and it must be cold.
Originally, Lu Lotus didn't take this matter to heart, but on the day of the official work, Zeng Rong and Liu Chunmiao stood at the door of the workshop, Zeng Rong's pale face and the appearance of wanting to cry but not crying aroused Lu He's suspicions.
Even so, Lu He didn't suspect that the roll of gold leaf thread was on it, and it was Zeng Rong who had been using gold embroidery thread instead of gold leaf thread for the past few days that aroused Lu He's suspicions, because she knew that Zeng Rong originally planned to embroider with gold leaf thread.
This suspicion, Lu He suddenly remembered something that she had ignored, that day for Liu Chunmiao to get a hand stove, on the way back met a eunuch, the eunuch was holding a package in his hand, walking hurriedly, the direction happened to be from the workshop.
Even so, Lu He didn't dare to tell Zeng Rong about it, firstly, she didn't have enough evidence, and secondly, she was afraid that Liu Chunmiao would retaliate against her, and even more afraid that the other party would retaliate against her family.
It wasn't until that day that Liu Chunmiao found Green Lotus again, asked her to flip through Zeng Rong's book and the words she wrote, and asked her to imitate Zeng Rong's words as a copybook, that she made up her mind.
"Why are you telling me this, have you thought about the consequences?" Zeng Rong asked.
"I thought about it, most likely death. But I'm not willing to do this, I want to gamble, although you don't like me, but I admire you very much, I don't want you to be at her mercy, I want to join forces with you, are you willing? After Lu He finished speaking, there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes when he looked at Zeng Rong.
"This question is too big and too difficult, I can't answer you for the time being, but I promise you one thing, I won't tell a third person about this, and I can tutor you with your homework, and I can't do anything else at the moment." Zeng Rong pondered for a moment and replied.
Although she sympathizes with Green Lotus's background and admires her courage, she is impatient and not very smart, and she doesn't want to be tied up with such a person.
But because the two of them wanted to deal with the imperial concubine, Zeng Rong didn't want to push her too far, after all, no one could say what would happen in the future.
Being a man and leaving a line, seeing each other well in the future, this is Zeng Rong's consistent code of conduct.
Although Lu He was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, this result was not bad, if she could get Zeng Rong's advice, plus Liu Chunmiao's help, it was still very possible for her to enter Yaohua Palace.
"Shall we go with the lanterns tonight?" Green Lotus asked again.
"I'm sorry, I'm going back... Zeng Rong didn't finish speaking, and suddenly heard someone outside shouting her, and the voice sounded like Amei.
As soon as he was excited, Zeng Rong forgot that the needle was still in his hand, and pricked himself when he got up, just "sigh", Amei opened the door curtain and came in, seeing that the green lotus was so close to Zeng Rong, and there were only two of them in the room, the smile on Amei's face quickly turned into bulging anger.
"What are you two doing? Why is she here? ”
"I came to work, and she came to ask me if I was going to go to see the lanterns, and I refused her. Well, don't be angry, you see, when I heard your voice, I was so happy that I accidentally stabbed myself. Zeng Rong deliberately squeezed out a drop of blood from his hand, and raised it to Ah Mei with a grin.
Amei really picked up Zeng Rong's hand and glanced at it, then took out her silk handkerchief to help Zeng Rong wipe the blood droplets, and deliberately gritted her teeth and pressed her fingers, "You deserve it, who made you not listen to me." ”
"Sister Amei, when did I stop listening to you? If you don't believe her, ask her, did I refuse to go shopping with her? Zeng Rong pulled Amei's hand and was coquettish.
Amei glanced at the green lotus, "Why are you waiting for not leaving?" At night, I accompanied Ah Rong to see the lanterns, and I don't need you to be courteous. ”
"You, you, forget it, just go, I don't have the same knowledge as you." Green Lotus wanted to say a few words to Amei, but her eloquence was not as good as Amei, and her backer was not as good as Amei, not to mention, Zeng Rong was also desperately good to Amei.
There is no comparison between people, so she had to swallow this breath and leave with her sleeves brushed up.
