Chapter 345: Miss Lian's Story
"Miss Lian is surnamed Zhuang?" Lin Jinxiu pretended to sit opposite her, holding her wrist with one hand and putting two fingers on her veins.
Lin Jinxiu didn't study Chinese medicine, and she just wanted to be able to say a few words to Miss Lian.
"Auntie...... How does the girl know? Miss Lian's eyes widened and she looked at her.
"My name is Lin Jinxiu." Lin Jinxiu saw that Miss Lian didn't know what to call herself, so she reported her name, "It is rumored that there is a Zhuang family who is a salt merchant in the state capital, and her daughter is amazingly beautiful. ”
Lin Jinxiu's praise was not subtle at all, and after a few words, Miss Lian's face turned red.
"Although the little woman has never heard such rumors." Miss Lian said, "But the dealer who is a salt merchant is my family, and the little girl is called Zhuang Menglian." ”
"That's it." Lin Jinxiu smiled, "What a good name." ”
Lin Jinxiu took her hand back.
Not to mention that she, a person who doesn't know medical skills, even those who know medical skills should take her hand back now, and I don't know how long she will have to pull someone's wrist.
Zhuang Menglian's wrists are indeed slender and soft, and her skin seems to be broken by blowing, Lin Jinxiu doesn't dare to use a little strength at all, for fear that she will accidentally pinch out a red mark for her.
Zhuang Menglian was slightly stunned when she watched Lin Jinxiu's method of diagnosing her pulse very amateurish.
What exactly does she want to do? It doesn't look like they're here to deliver medicine.
She came in with Senior Brother Cao, she belonged to the same academy as him, she was good-looking, she was also very talented, and she looked very likable, could it be ......
"You're not just here to bring me medicine." Zhuang Menglian looked at Lin Jinxiu and said.
She saw that the woman in front of her was talking and laughing, her every move was chic, that figure, that face, which man was not tempted?
In front of Lin Jinxiu, this eldest lady actually had a trace of inferiority, but she would not admit defeat easily, her eyes were full of determination.
"Miss Lian's marriage, I'm afraid the family doesn't agree." Looking at Zhuang Menglian's expression, Lin Jinxiu knew that this girl actually saw her as a threat, but she didn't explain, just asked faintly.
Hearing Lin Jinxiu say that her family did not agree to this marriage, the little girl's face suddenly turned white, and her two hands also tightened her skirt.
"Even if you don't agree, what?" Her voice trembled a little, and she was visibly angry.
Although the style of Lin Jinxiu's clothes is very simple, but if you look closely, the material is very good, it is not cheap linen clothes at all, and the most important thing is that now she has been exuding a fragrance of food.
She actually wore expensive clothes to learn cooking!
Of course, this dress is the kind with a very good fabric, after all, this dress was bought for her by the maid in Qin Shuyao's mansion.
With Qin Shuyao's character, although Lin Jinxiu said that he could just buy some comfortable and convenient clothes, he would not treat her badly.
And Lin Jinxiu, she hasn't worn coarse cloth clothes for a few days, after all, in modern times, she has been nourished by all kinds of fabrics, and she can wear good clothes, and she is not ambiguous.
But this body is in Miss Zhuang's eyes, but it is here to show off.
"Because I don't agree, I gave you to someone else just by looking at the door." Lin Jinxiu continued.
What she obviously mentioned in her words was Yan Shao, and this Yan Shao was Zhuang Menglian's nightmare.
Zhuang Menglian's face turned pale in an instant.
"Miss Lin, if you're here to find fault, then please leave." Zhuang Menglian stood up straight and wanted to send off the guests.
However, Lin Jinxiu did not plan to move.
She saw a pot of tea on the table, so she didn't treat herself as an outsider, and poured herself a cup to drink: "Miss Zhuang, what do you think I'm here for?" ”
"Who knows what you're here for!" Zhuang Menglian was already very angry at this time, "Please! ”
"Yan Shao was poisoned because he ate poisonous mushrooms." Lin Jinxiu said suddenly.
Just after the words "poisonous mushroom" came out of Lin Jinxiu's mouth, Zhuang Menglian's face was not only whiter, but even her body trembled slightly.
"I'm not just here to bring you medicine." Lin Jinxiu reached out and grabbed Zhuang Menglian's wrist, and with a little force, pulled her back to the stool and asked her to sit down.
"You don't want Senior Brother Cao to know about this matter." Lin Jinxiu still maintained the sweet smile on her face, but Zhuang Menglian obviously felt threatened from her tone.
was grabbed by Lin Jinxiu's wrist, Zhuang Menglian's eyes were already flustered, and even her lips began to tremble.
"If Senior Brother Cao knew that you went to poison Yan Shao in order to be with him, I don't know what he would do?"
Zhuang Menglian didn't expect that the little girl in front of her was not here for Senior Brother Cao, but for her!
"You...... You are talking nonsense......" Zhuang Menglian didn't look like a person who could lie, and her expression at this time had already exposed everything.
Obviously, she was scared like this, but the expression on her face was still as strong as ever, and Lin Jinxiu only felt that this girl was really interesting.
"Yan Shao came out of your house and began to have poisonous hair." Lin Jinxiu looked at Zhuang Menglian's eyes and began to speak, "I have already experienced the corpse, and I died because I ate poisonous mushrooms." ”
"And he died quickly, bleeding from all seven orifices, and covered in toxins." Lin Jinxiu's eyes narrowed.
"Apparently I've been poisoned very deeply, I'm afraid I've been ingesting the toxin since a long time ago, at least for a month."
Speaking of this, Zhuang Menglian slapped her face on the table, her chest rising and falling violently: "How is it possible!" It's not been a month at all, it can't be me! ”
"What's less than a month?" There was a smile in Lin Jinxiu's eyes, this girl was obviously in a hurry, and she said what was in her heart without any mental preparation.
"Did he eat poisonous mushrooms from you for less than a month?" Lin Jinxiu's expression at this time was like a big bad wolf threatening the little white rabbit.
Zhuang Menglian also realized that she had slipped her mouth, and she looked at the person in front of her with a red face: "Who are you?" ”
Lin Jinxiu shook the clothes on her body: "Guess what? ”
"You're from the government?" Zhuang Menglian asked.
Lin Jinxiu thought about it for a while: "Count, don't count it." ”
She is considered Qin Shuyao's cronies, and Qin Shuyao is a person from the government, so rounding her up is also a person from the government, and there is no problem with saying this.
Hearing Lin Jinxiu admit that she was from the government, Zhuang Menglian knew that the things she had tried to hide might have been revealed.
"Are you here to get me?" Zhuang Menglian clenched her fists when she saw Lin Jinxiu.
Lin Jinxiu spread her hands: "Miss Zhuang sees that I am only one person now, and I still brought you back with me, do I seem to be here to arrest people?" ”
"Instead of arresting you back, I want to hear Miss Zhuang tell the story of herself and Yan Shao."
Lin Jinxiu crossed Zhuang Menglian's shoulder and looked in the direction where Senior Brother Cao left, where a very strong smell of corn was already wafting.
It seems that this medicine has been almost decocted, and it seems that before Senior Brother Cao comes out, he should ask Zhuang Menglian as much as possible about Yan Shao.
Seeing Lin Jinxiu glancing behind her, Zhuang Menglian sighed, and her originally delicate eyes became dim, but she didn't speak.
"If you can tell me more information about Yan Shao and help me find the real murderer, I will promise you that I will never let Senior Brother Cao know what you did."
Lin Jinxiu stretched out her three fingers and made an oath gesture: "I mean what I say, Miss Zhuang believes me." ”
Lin Jinxiu's appearance is not a bad person, although he knows what Zhuang Menglian has done, but he didn't do anything after all.
Although the things related to Yan Shao are Zhuang Menglian's psychological shadows, but now it seems that instead of being known by Ah Lang that he has killed someone, it is better to tell Lin Jinxiu a story about Yan Shao.
The first time Yan Shao met Zhuang Menglian was three months ago, when Zhuang Menglian had been exchanging letters with Senior Brother Cao for several months.
Zhuang Menglian's father has always disliked Senior Brother Cao's poor family and felt that he was not worthy of his daughter as a cook, so he has been looking for a better husband for Zhuang Menglian.
Senior Brother Cao assured Zhuang Menglian that if he was given another year, he would definitely lay a foundation through his cooking skills, so that he would have enough strength to marry Zhuang Menglian.
It is precisely because of Senior Brother Cao's guarantee that Zhuang Menglian has been fighting against her father, and even went on a hunger strike, and she was angry with many people who liked her.
As a result, Zhuang Menglian's father actually knew that his daughter had a correspondence with the unproductive cook, so he was so angry that he burned all her letters, took strict care of her, and cut off contact with Senior Brother Cao.
Subsequently, by accident, Yan Shao fell in love with Zhuang Menglian and wanted to marry this girl home, but after Zhuang Menglian's father saw Yan Shao, he was busy wanting to marry his own girl.
Zhuang Menglian sighed when she said this: "Ah Lang didn't know how long he felt uncomfortable after getting the news, but I couldn't do anything. ”
"It's not that I didn't want to give up, so I once asked Yan Shao that as long as he could help Ah Lang a little, I would marry him willingly."
Lin Jinxiu listened carefully to Zhuang Menglian's story, and it was the first time to understand what kind of person Yan Shao was from so many small details.
Yan Shao agreed to Zhuang Menglian, but Zhuang Menglian heard her father and Yan Shao discussing from behind whether she could force the cook away from the state capital.
Zhuang Menglian was completely disappointed, she knew that if this was said from her father's mouth, then the two of them had already made plans and had already begun to make plans.
Zhuang Menglian, who was under house arrest, heard the whole process of their plan, and they even had a plan to take Senior Brother Cao's life.
And Senior Brother Cao really had the courage to kneel in front of the banker's house, promising that he would definitely gain fame and be worthy of Zhuang Menglian.
Master Zhuang had a fierce conflict with Senior Brother Cao at the door, and it was precisely because of this incident that Zhuang Menglian knew that if she didn't do something, her Ah Lang might really die.
During this time, Yan Shao would come to Zhuang Menglian every day and ask her to cook for herself, together with Zhuang Menglian's father, in order to tie up the Yan family, Zhuang's father did not hesitate to let his daughter be someone else's concubine.
