Chapter 137: Showing the Horse's Feet
It wasn't until a tea time had passed that the courtyard door was slowly opened.
"Why did the fifth aunt come, let the second girl wait." The maidservant couldn't help but complain.
The spice vendor looked at the maid who knocked on the door with a vacant look, then looked around the visitors, and finally stopped at Bai Suxin.
"I don't know who the little boy is?" The spice vendor respectfully hugged his fists.
Bai Suxin jumped off the horse and said slowly: "My surname is Wei, and I came with my sister-in-law today." β
The spice vendor hurriedly bowed down and said, "It turned out to be Wei Xiaogongzi." β
Hua Yingni's husband's surname is Wei, and her husband is a general in the Xifu Army.
Although the spice vendor is nominally the fifth aunt, his status is far inferior to Hua Jingni's husband.
After all, his status is low, if it weren't for Hua Jingshuang's mistakes, he would never have married a woman from such a family in his life.
The spice vendor knows how to advance and retreat in front of people, and there are many rituals and everything.
Xie Fengqing was helped out of the carriage by the maid, and the spice vendor's gaze froze, but he quickly regained his composure.
However, this momentary change still made Bai Suxin on the side notice.
"Fifth brother-in-law, I miss my fifth sister so much, I want to come to her yard to have a look, I didn't disturb my brother-in-law." Xie Fengqing said with red eyes.
The red eye socket is Bai Suxin's masterpiece, she thinks that Hua Jingni's mood must be anxious at this time, so she painted these two "decorations" for Xie Fengqing, just to be closer to the real Hua Jingni.
"Where is the second girl, if the second girl wants to come, come over at any time."
The spice vendor had received Hua Yingni's name in advance, so where did a person like him need this?
Even if Hua Yingni has a fifth brother-in-law, the spice vendor still doesn't dare to exceed the rules, and still respectfully calls her the second girl.
He didn't dare to really think of himself as a fifth aunt.
Xie Fengqing walked into the courtyard.
Bai Suxin followed closely behind Xie Fengqing, testing the taste of the courtyard with a careful mind that was not easy to be noticed.
Xie Fengqing walked around the courtyard with sad eyes, and at this time, in addition to Xie Fengqing and Bai Suxin, there were two maidservants who followed Xie Fengqing in the courtyard.
The spice vendor followed, not even daring to lift his head.
The courtyard was filled with the smell of all kinds of spices, Bai Suxin immediately frowned, and the faint smell made her have to be cautious.
Xie Fengqing, who was greeted by Bai Suxin's eyes, said seemingly casually: "Fifth brother-in-law, I think the fifth sister thinks very much, can my brother-in-law make it convenient for me to go to the house where my sister lives and take a look." β
The spice vendor looked at Xie Fengqing vigilantly, and Xie Fengqing hurriedly continued: "I'll go in and take a look myself, my little brother and the maid are waiting in the yard, and they won't damage the things in the house." β
Xie Fengqing said as he raised his hand to wipe his tears, and his pitiful appearance made anyone feel very unbearable when they saw it.
The spice vendor hesitated for a moment and said, "Then the two girls come with me." β
Xie Fengqing sobbed softly twice, and then followed the pace of the spice vendor.
The peddler walked to the door of a room, stopped and said, "Second girl, this is the house of the shuang, she has been empty since she disappeared. β
"Doesn't the fifth brother-in-law live here?" Xie Fengqing asked in surprise.
She had already heard from her eldest brother about the spice vendor moving to another house, but she still had to pretend not to know at this time.
After all, Hua Jingni, who has been married for many years, should not know about her brother-in-law's family.
The spice vendor lowered his eyes and nodded, and said, "The second girl doesn't know, after the shuangshuang disappeared, I stayed in this house alone, and I would always think of her unconsciously......"
Xie Fengqing said with a look of pity and comfort: "The fifth brother-in-law is really in love with the fifth sister, and he has made the brother-in-law suffer." β
When Xie Fengqing said this, she deliberately implied that she believed that Hua Jingshuang had eloped with someone.
The spice vendor slowly pushed the door open and said respectfully, "Second girl, please-"
Xie Fengqing nodded lightly and stepped in without hesitation.
Although it was difficult to enter the house as a man pretending to be Bai Suxin, he still stood at the door unswervingly.
The spice vendor was about to follow in, but was stopped by Bai Suxin, who was dressed as a man.
"You're still outside the door, my sister-in-law can just go in alone."
Xie Fengqing is also a woman anyway, and this spice vendor still wants to follow up?
The spice vendor looked at the room with a solemn expression, looked at Bai Suxin's neck and nodded.
An ominous premonition came to Bai Suxin's heart, and he always felt as if the vendor had seen through something.
After Xie Fengqing entered the house, he carefully investigated, but did not find anything unusual.
The smell of spices in this room was too strong, and Xie Fengqing could hardly distinguish anything from the mixed smell.
But it's still too weird, it stands to reason that even a spice dealer wouldn't even have such a big smell in the house he lives in, let alone a more obvious smell.
Bai Suxin stood outside the door and sniffed carefully for a long time before he seriously recognized that there was a stench in the smell.
"The smell here is different from the one in the yard." Bai Suxin said deliberately.
The spice vendor said without hurry: "Wei Xiaogongzi's sense of smell is indeed sensitive, and he likes to smoke incense in the house on weekdays. β
The smell of various spices and incense is mixed with incense, and it is indeed easy for people to imperceptibly smell the smell.
If it weren't for Bai Suxin's previous life, he had worshiped Shenggu as a teacher to learn perfumery, and he began to be very sensitive to taste, and he might not be able to distinguish it.
Seeing that Xie Fengqing didn't come out for a long time, Bai Suxin understood that she should have found nothing.
But whenever he finds anything, Xie Fengqing will let Bai Suxin know as soon as possible.
Xie Fengqing, who had no gain in the house, was unwilling to leave like this, so he deliberately broke a vase.
Bai Suxin hurriedly jumped into the house when he heard the sound, and although the spice vendor suddenly froze, he immediately followed in.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Bai Suxin hurriedly held Xie Fengqing's hand, and hurriedly let go after reacting.
Although it was only for a moment, it was still in full view of the spice vendors.
This second girl and Wei Xiaogongzi really have a problem.
The corners of Xie Fengqing's mouth twitched, and he looked at the spice vendor and said, "I'm sorry for the fifth brother-in-law, I knocked over the vase in a moment's distraction." β
The spice vendor is an ordinary person, and such a vase looks like a flower nettle.
Xie Fengqing, who pretended to be Hua Yingni, accidentally broke his sister's things, and the spice vendor, who was the "brother-in-law", was naturally not good at saying anything.
"The second girl said this and saw the outside, but I don't know if it hurt the second girl?" The spice vendor bowed his head.
"Sister-in-law is hurt?" Bai Suxin asked.
Xie Fengqing shook his head slightly, and said, "Don't worry, it's just ......."
"Sister-in-law, sit down and rest." Bai Suxin said as she motioned for Xie Fengqing to sit on the bed.
The spice seller's eyes suddenly became nervous, and he hurriedly said, "The second girl should go to the main hall to rest, it has not been cleaned here for too long." β
Xie Fengqing immediately stroked his forehead with his hand, showing a headache.
"Sister-in-lawβ" Bai Suxin shouted.
"It's okay, I'll just rest." Xie Fengqing waved his hand and sat down directly against the edge of the bed.
