Chapter 58 Captured
Yokobo gasped and nodded laboriously.
"Think about it, have you ever bumped into Aunt Zhao recently? Or is it her handmaiden? ”
"......" She looked at Song Yansheng with misty eyes, and when she mentioned it, she really remembered that she had met Aunt Zhao once. She turned her head and affirmed, "I met her outside the eldest master's study a few days ago. She seemed to be ...... Looks like I'm about to go in with something in my hand......"
"There wasn't much of a person back then. I thought...... She didn't think much about what she would send to the eldest master...... Is it her, and she's trying to harm me? ”
Song Yansheng gently patted her chest and breathed smoothly, "Don't worry, don't worry." Tell me, what was she holding that day? ”
"Not big, not too small...... Look square. Hengbo thought about it carefully, and she knew it in her heart after listening to it.
"Blame me for my negligence, don't be afraid, since she dares to harm you, I won't let her have a good time.
The next day, she took the lamp and candle to the blue yarn cupboard, Song Shusheng fell into the water and caught a cold, and since then she has been in poor spirits. Feng Shi had just freshened up for her, and when he saw her coming, his thin eyebrows showed, "The sixth girl is here." The sound of the book is talking about you. ”
Song Yansheng looked at the seven girls' pale faces, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Song Shusheng is still a child, and he is not much older than Song Qisheng, how vicious Aunt Zhao is, she ruined a girl like a flower and jade.
She talked to Song Shusheng for a while, and when she saw Feng Shi turn around to leave, she stood up and said to her solemnly, "Auntie, I have something to tell you." ”
Everyone in this house thinks that Feng is a transparent person, with a weak temperament, who does not fight or rob, and has no children to rely on, and even the seven girls are not welcomed. But Mrs. Feng accepted her fate, she didn't care about herself, but her daughter was her only support.
Song Yansheng sat with her on the embroidery stool in the outhouse, Feng Shi saw that her little face was tense, and brought her tea fruit funny, "What do you want to tell me, so serious?" ”
"Last time in the Lin Mansion, it was not an accident that the seventh sister fell into the water."
Feng's fingers trembled as he poured the tea, and the water splashed outside. Song Yansheng saw that her fingers were trembling, raised her head and asked, "The eldest aunt seems to know everything in her heart." ”
“…… is good, and the sound of books is the most heartfelt temperament on weekdays, how could he fall into the water for no reason? She took a handkerchief to wipe the water clean, and choked up, "She has bad bones, and she is shy and timid, and she doesn't like her father, even if she is bullied by others on weekdays, she doesn't dare to say anything, and she doesn't say anything when she asks her, how can I not know it as a mother." ”
"In this house, I have no children, I am weak, and I have been sensitive and sensible since I was a child, so I endure it, and I don't want our mother's situation to worse."
"I heard the Yan family girl say this herself, the seventh sister was secretly pushed into the water by the sound of chess. The seventh sister doesn't know how to water, if the rescue is not timely, this is what wants her life. ”
"Now she is not very old, but according to her arrogance and willfulness, she will have a next time, and each time it is more blatant and more frightening."
Feng Shi grabbed the veil, and for a moment he was shocked and angry, and coughed violently.
Song Yansheng sighed in her heart, she lowered her head and untied the purse on her waist and gently put it on the table. Feng Shi looked at her in disbelief and watched her pull open the ribbon, revealing half of the candle inside.
"It's ......"
Most of the candles were burned, milky yellow, which was used by the people in the house, and it was very ordinary, and there was nothing peculiar.
Song Yansheng looked at the small half of the candle and suddenly asked, "Auntie, you have spent the longest time with Aunt Zhao, do you know that she is proficient in pharmacology?" ”
Feng Shi shook his head, "She does know some massage skills, and the old man has a headache, so he can't do without her skills." But she was well versed in pharmacology, which I had never heard of. ”
Really.
"She has been hiding it so well for so many years, and this lamp and candle is proof of it." Song Yansheng pointed to the things on the table and said in a deep voice: "My close girl has been sick for several days, all thanks to this." ”
"There is something else in this lamp, mixed with a secret poisonous weed juice, which is difficult to detect. As soon as it is ignited, it will be inhaled into the nasal passages, causing a loss of energy, difficulty breathing, and even physical failure. This poisonous weed, which I pointed out through a friend, is a mixture of several herbs, and it is so toxic that you can't be wrong. ”
Feng's eyes widened angrily, her fingers trembled and grasped the silk handkerchief, she had thought of a possibility, and said in a trembling voice, "The sound of the book, the sound of the book......
"This poisonous weed is very difficult to detect, and it is also very clever with poisoners, and it is slowly delivered in small doses. The seventh sister's room is covered by the smell of medicine all year round, and it is even more difficult to be detected. As for the inside of this lamp and candle, the amount is slightly larger, as long as it is lit and carefully identified in a ventilated place, it will be found that it is wrong. ”
Feng Shi couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly got up to go to Song Shusheng's room to find this kind of private poison. She grabbed her sleeve and said softly, "Auntie, don't worry, the one in the study room has already been replaced, and when I first came to Yangzhou, this poisonous juice was soaked in her mattress." However, after the last change, Aunt Zhao was wary, and with her vigilance, it is estimated that there is no one in the seventh sister's room now. ”
The eldest lady heard what she meant, although she didn't have it now, what about it in the future, where will this poison go, and where will it go unexpectedly? Besides, after so many years of poisoning, the sound of the book has already hurt his bones.
"I have no children to live by, and I have accepted my fate for so many years, and I don't care about her everywhere. But I only have a book voice, and she's still so young, what threat can she pose to them?! ”
Song Yansheng's eyes froze slightly, shook his head and said, "People's hearts are insufficient. Auntie, are you just going to let the Zhao family make waves? ”
As a result of going to the candle, Yokoba quickly regained his spirits. She leaned against the edge of the bed, occasionally coughing or two. At this time, the door creaked, and the girl of her own house walked in softly and closed the door.
Hengbo saw that her face had subsided in the past few days, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and he hated Aunt Zhao even more. Song Yansheng raised her eyes, covered the quilt for her, and said with a smile: "You have been scolding for so long, just two sentences over and over again, it is better to rest." ”
Hengbo frowned: "I'm going to drown her with my saliva!" She breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw what Song Yansheng was holding in her hand, she came over curiously and asked, "What is this?" ”
The sixth girl finally showed a smile on her face in the past few days, she lifted the small square box in her hand, pulled out the letters in her sleeve, and said with a smile: "It was sent by Miss Chu, it was really timely rain." ”
Chu Min received the letter sent to her last time, and soon replied, saying that she would go to Beijing to find her eldest brother in a few days. Chu Min is also a character who does not owe favors, and brought a prescription in the letter, and also prepared an antidote, thinking that she would be able to use it. Chu Min is proficient in medical science, but it took a lot of effort to concoct the antidote, which can only relieve the poisoning and is not yet deep. She thought about it thoughtfully, and the prescription she sent with the letter could be used to recuperate her body that had been damaged by poison, but as for how much she could recover, it depended on how deep the poison was, and she couldn't be sure. In the letter, she also mentioned a famous doctor in Yangzhou, saying that there were a few pairs of medicines that could not be found, so she could ask him to configure them.
Hengbo took the antidote and sighed, "This Miss Chu is really a kind person." ”
"Didn't you say that she was unkind in the past, and now she is boasting about people?" Song Yansheng flicked her forehead, and then put away the letters, her eyebrows revealing a kind of imperative brightness, "Hengbo, although you are fine, I still have to ask you to pretend to be in bed for a few days." ”
"The girl is going to do it?" Hengbo's eyes lit up, and his face turned red with excitement, "I've been upsetting her for a long time." ”
"The lamp and candle are always a consumable, and if she fails to poison you for a day, you will not be relieved, and you will definitely send someone to replace it regularly. When the time comes, the stolen goods will be found. ”
A few days later, when there was finally movement in her yard, Song Yansheng was playing chess with her grandfather with her chin up. She still has a doubt about Aunt Zhao, what did she do when she stole the master's official seal? She also intends to kill the horizontal wave who saw her move.
Uneasiness rose in her heart.
Song Xiaodu saw that she was absent-minded, took a sip of tea and glanced at her and joked, "You are full of worries, be careful that you are not tall." ”
Song Yansheng blinked, "No." ”
She had seen her father in her previous life, and she had seen Xiao Changyuan's official seal, both civil and military, which were different. Wenchen is a square seal, while Xiao Changyuan's general seal is a round copper style. This official seal is an extremely important thing for the issuance of official documents, from the internal affairs of the official office where the authority is located, to the large request for negligence, this red seal is indispensable, and if it is missing, it is a dead letter, which can be said to be a manifestation of personal identity and power.
This Concubine Zhao stealing the official seal inevitably made her have some not very good associations - could it be a forgery? !
The commotion in front of her grew louder and louder, disrupting her thoughts. Song Xiaodu also put the chess pieces, looked at the little guy who came down to pray, his face was extremely flat, "What happened in the front yard?" ”
“…… Miss Hengbo said that someone had a bad idea and wanted to harm her. ”
Song Xiaodu looked at Song Yansheng, touched his beard and said without shock: "Yes, your girl has been sick for several days, so that's what happened." ”
Song Yansheng looked at him like this, and it was estimated that his heart was as bright as a mirror. He waved his hand, looked back at the chess game, and said casually, "Go with your grandmother." There's a mess in this house, and it's time to fix it. ”
Grandfather never cared about the affairs of the back house, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything, on the contrary, he knows better than anyone else.
Song Yansheng nodded, and the blessed body retired.
Grandmother bathed and worshiped the Buddha, and her brows were furrowed by the movement outside. Seeing Song Yansheng coming, she raised her eyes and asked, "Is that the girl in your room?" ”
The old lady was helped up by her grandmother and wondered: "I heard that she has been sick for several days, why is she still so energetic?" ”
"......" Song Yansheng coughed lightly and stepped forward to support her, "Grandmother, she is not sick, but she has been poisoned." ”
The old lady paused, and her gaze immediately turned cold.
