Jiang Cheng'er was stunned, what does it matter to her? I had to respond: "No, our poor people lack ingredients, so we can only eat a few ordinary dishes." ”

"Then the osmanthus cake should be such an easy pastry, right? If not, I'll let Jinruo teach you. I just want you to make something for Xiang'er to eat. ”

"I'll still make osmanthus cakes." In the Jiang family, Jiang Cheng'er also helped her mother make pastries such as glutinous rice cakes, and osmanthus cakes should be similar.

"Great, I'll let Ah Fa pick osmanthus for you."

The osmanthus trees in front of Han's house grew very well, with lush branches and leaves, and small golden flowers were dotted on them, like stars in the sky.

Three days later, Dong'er said that the kitchen had prepared the ingredients and asked Jiang Cheng'er to make the pastries. Jiang Cheng'er walked to the kitchen, changed into an apron, and saw a basket of sun-dried osmanthus, sesame powder, sugar, glutinous rice flour, and japonica rice flour on the kitchen table.

She first sifted the glutinous, japonica rice flour and sesame flour, added sugar, kneaded it evenly with water, steamed the cake flour for about a quarter of an hour, and took it out to cool. Then wrap the steamed cake flour with wet gauze, constantly turn it over, and knead it until the surface of the dough is kneaded smoothly and the cake flour is delicately kneaded. Then knead the cake flour, stretch it into long strips, smear it with vegetable oil, sprinkle it with dried osmanthus flowers, and cut it into long cubes.

Jiang Cheng'er put the osmanthus cake on the plate and served it on the table. Han Baichuan had already sat there, and as soon as he saw the pastry, he grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Is the osmanthus cake ready? It smells so good. Han Lin and his wife, sister-in-law Han Huixin, and Jin Ruo walked over.

When Mrs. Han saw the pastry, her face changed: "Orange, do you have sesame seeds in this osmanthus cake?" "The pastry is covered with fine black dots, which are sesame seeds.

"Yes, there's one in the kitchen, I'll put it away."

"How is that possible! I never put sesame seeds in the kitchen of my Han family! ”

Jiang Cheng'er was inexplicable: "What's wrong with sesame......"

Dong'er on the side explained: "Master Han and Young Master can't eat sesame seeds, and when they eat it, their whole bodies will be covered with red spots, so we don't put sesame seeds in our food." ”

Jiang Cheng'er thought, isn't this a symptom of allergies? It turns out that the Han family is allergic to sesame seeds.

"Xiang'er, have you eaten a piece? Quick, send him back to his room. Several maids and servants hurriedly carried Han Baichuan back to the room.

After settling Han Baichuan well, Mrs. Han looked at her seriously: "Orange, you shouldn't know that both Master and Xiang'er can't eat sesame seeds, right?" ”

Jiang Cheng'er shook her head firmly: "I really don't know." ”

"Okay, I believe in you, but if you really want to be bad for Xiang'er, then I won't let you go."

Jiang Cheng'er nodded straightly, and only when Mrs. Han left did she breathe a sigh of relief. This is truly unwarranted.

She thought carefully about the whole thing, how could Sesame Seeds appear in the kitchen inexplicably? Mrs. Han asked her to make osmanthus cake, but she didn't mention sesame seeds, if she hadn't seen sesame seeds in the kitchen, she wouldn't have put sesame seeds in it. The whole thing smacks of conspiracy.

Before she could sort out the truth of this matter, another murder occurred in the Han family.

Jiang Cheng'er woke up in the morning and was about to freshen up, when she touched her head, the jade hairpin she bought was gone. She searched around the room, but couldn't find it. Han Baichuan was still sleeping, and Jiang Cheng'er walked to the main house, ready to ask Dong'er and the people in charge of cleaning.

Passing by the yard, the thrush raised by Han Baichuan "chirping" screamed weakly, not at all crisp and tactful on weekdays. She felt that the thrush was a little strange, so she stepped forward to investigate, but she didn't expect that the thrush seemed to be unable to support her body, and slowly fell into the cage, her fur was dark, her eyes were closed, and she was dying, and she died of convulsions in front of her not long after.

"Young lady, what's wrong with the young master's thrush?" Mother Wu on the side walked over: "Ouch, it looks like it's poisoned!" ”

I don't know when, Han Baichuan also got up, he rested for a night, the allergy symptoms subsided, he rushed over, and when he saw the thrush's appearance, he actually cried: "Twitter, what's wrong with you, who hurt you, I want to avenge you!" ”

Mrs. Han Jinruo and Han Huixin also heard the news and came over, and Jinruo said: "Changxing, aren't you usually responsible for the thrush's diet?" Did you feed something wrong? ”

Changxing is the Han family's cleaning house, he said tremblingly: "Ping, I usually feed it," he raised his head and glanced at Jiang Cheng'er in embarrassment: "But early this morning, the young lady said to let her feed ......"

"Oops, there's something at the bottom of the cage." Han Huixin suddenly said and got closer, "It seems to be a jade hairpin, so beautiful." ”

Dong'er said, "Isn't this your jade hairpin young lady?" ”

It was as if a stone had been thrown into the calm lake, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Cheng'er. Han Baichuan red-eyed and asked her, "Sister, did you really do it?" ”

Jiang Cheng'er looked at them and understood everything in her heart.

Jin Ruo spoke: "Just based on the words of this hairpin and you, it can't be concluded that it is the poisonous ...... of my sister-in-law."

Mother Wu said: "It's easy to prove, just search the young lady's body and room for any poison." She looked at Mrs. Han.

Mrs. Han said: "There is only this way, but in order to prevent us from wronging Orange, the whole house has to be searched, right?" ”

"Okay, if you want to search, you can search enough." Jiang Cheng'er spread her hands and said.

Mother Wu's withered hands touched her all over her body, there was nothing else in her clothes, and there was nothing else in her purse except a little broken silver.

Mrs. Han instructed again: "The next thing is to search the room, Mother Wu is in charge of the room of the young master's wife, Jin Ruo will search the room of me and the master, I will be responsible for Jin Ruo and Huixin, Dong'er Changxing will search for the maid and manservant, don't worry, even if it is just a bird, I will find justice for Xiang'er." ”

A morning passed, and Wu's mother even took down the books on the bookshelf and searched them, but still found no trace of poison. She went to tell Mrs. Han, who ordered everyone to stop and have lunch.

Jiang Cheng'er said unhurriedly at this time: "Don't you think there is something suspicious? If I did it, why let Changxing see it? Have you ever seen a prisoner deliberately expose himself to a third person? ”

When everyone heard it, they really didn't notice such an obvious loophole.

Changxing, who was at the other table, suddenly had a cold sweat on his face: "I'm sorry, I was blinded by money for a while, my mother was sick and needed money these days, and the man told me that he was just poisoning a bird, not against his conscience, so I agreed, and I was very sorry to hurt the young lady to be wronged." ＂

Mrs. Han said: "Alas, this matter is not big, it is not small, since the grievances of Orange have been cleared, then I don't blame anyone, our family is not as good as before, I have dismissed a lot of the previous maids and servants, leaving only some loyal, I only hope that this family can be harmonious, not to engage in intrigue." ”

Everyone nodded and ate silently.

After eating, Jiang Cheng'er came to the toilet and took out a yellow paper bag from the space, which was the medicinal powder that poisoned "Dingxi"!

It turned out that this morning she found that the jade hairpin was missing, and when she searched in the room, she found a packet of powder she had never seen lying in a drawer in the closet. She remembered the plot in the TV series, although she didn't know what the powder was, her hairpin was gone, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly put the paper bag into the carry-on space. That's why they searched her room and didn't find it.

Jiang Cheng'er guessed that the person who poisoned the thrush and blamed her was the same person who framed her with sesame powder last time, and the person in this house she could feel hostile was Mother Wu except for Jinruo.

Changxing will not confess until the critical moment, and she can't transfer this bag of poison in the morning, so she can only destroy it first......

She tore the paper bag to pieces and threw it into the pit at her feet, and flushed a large amount of water, and the highly poisonous object disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Cheng'er felt that although she clarified that she didn't do it, Han Baichuan was obviously not so close to her. Maybe that's what the other side is for? Separate her from Young Master Han? She couldn't think of anyone else who would do anything other than that to a bird.

Jiang Cheng'er thought that she had crossed over to this place alone, from a young lady with fine clothes and food to a poor peasant girl, married to a fool and was framed, the more she thought about it, the more desolate she became, and she couldn't help but lie on the table sadly.

"Sister, are you angry? My mother told me, you didn't poison you, I don't blame you. Han Baichuan shook her shoulder, Jiang Cheng'er reluctantly raised her head, and smiled at him: "I don't blame you, I'm unhappy when I think of my own affairs." ”

"Not happy? Then do you want to eat grapes, Dong'er just brought in, but it's sweet. ”

"Thank you." She took a grape and stuffed it into her mouth, as if she wasn't as sad as she had just been.

Jiang Cheng'er handed over the money to Li Zheng, asked him to call someone to purchase supplies, borrowed a house to stack it, built a shed in the center of the village, and notified the villagers in need to get it.

Hearing that there was something to collect, Jiang Yao's family was the first to arrive, because she couldn't see the things in the house, she rolled her eyes: "Do you have a jacket?" Both of my sons need jackets. ”

"Ahem." Li Zheng coughed and stared at her solemnly: "We send things according to the family situation, the poorest leader in the family, as far as I know, your old Jiang family is not poor, right?" ”

Jiang Yao's face flushed: "I only need two jackets, and I don't have many ......" Having said that, she still walked to the side stupidly and looked at the people who came from behind.

Finally, the first delivery was given to a thin widow grandmother, whose clothes were washed to tatters, and she was given a cotton jacket, a charcoal basin, a bag of charcoal, and a quilt, and Lizheng called a young man to deliver it to her home.

Then there were two siblings who depended on each other, one of whom was given a padded jacket and a stove. A mother and son received a blanket and a soup woman.

In the end, Jiang Yao's family only received a few pieces of charcoal, but she still happily took it home, muttering: "It's better than nothing." ”
