Chapter Eighty-Five: Someone Else
Wei Yun glared at him without speaking, turned her head to the side, but her fingers pinched the hem of her skirt a little nervously, she usually didn't like to apply rouge to her face.
It's all because Chuntang insists on getting on the spot, and he can't see it clearly at night when he says anything.
The carriage came to the Garden slowly, and the two got out of the carriage, and it was dark at this time, but the Garden was still full of people.
Xiao Er in the Hui Building saw the carriage stopped at the door, looked at it carefully, and hurriedly trotted over to greet him: "The two guest officers, please, Miss Yu has already booked a private room, so let the little one receive the two here." ”
Wei Yun looked at the shopkeeper's nodding appearance, and couldn't help but think that this Yu girl was afraid that she had given a lot of rewards.
The food in the garden is delicious, I heard that the owner behind it still has some origins, and the shopkeeper is not inferior on weekdays, but some of the second's service is still half a lot.
At this time, the people sitting and eating in the hall of the building felt novelty when they saw the shopkeeper like this, and stretched their necks to look outside.
Lin Mo's official rank was promoted to the third rank at this time, and he had heard of it in the capital, both large and small, and he had seen it twice when he hid and stole it.
Just as he was about to step into the Gathering Garden, Lin Mo saw Lin Xiaoying on the street out of the corner of his eye, and Lin Xiaoying also saw him, walking over with fragile steps.
Lin Mo raised his feet and retracted them, and looked at her with a faint gaze.
Seeing her look around, he brought her closer and asked, "What are you looking for?" ”
Lin Xiaoying's eyes looked behind Lin Mo, lit up, skipped Lin Mo, walked towards Wei Yun, took her hand and said happily: "Sister Yun, I know that as long as I see my brother, I will definitely be able to see you." ”
Wei Yun twitched the corners of her mouth, and her cheeks, which were already powdery, were found by the lantern hanging on the door of the Huihui Building at this time, and they were as rosy as peach blossoms.
Lin Xiaoying looked at Wei Yun with a smile, and asked again, "Sister Yun, what are you and my brother doing here?" After speaking, he looked up at the signboard of the Hui Building, blushed in shock, and said in shock: "Sister Yun, you won't come with my brother ......"
The more she talked about the quieter the voice became, Wei Yun listened to it for a while, but didn't hear anything, and said impatiently: "You say it louder, your voice is for mosquitoes." ”
Lin Xiaoying looked at Wei Yun for a long time with a complicated expression, her face turned redder little by little, as if she was suddenly transparent, she cleared her throat and amplified her voice: "I said, Sister Yun appeared at the bottom of the gathering building with my brother so late, is it a try......st?"
As soon as Wei Yun heard the word tryst, she hurriedly covered her mouth, fortunately, it was night, and there was no one around, as for the shopkeeper who was waiting on the side, he looked immovable.
Bowing her head to Lin Xiaoying's truth-seeking eyes, Wei Yun lifted her forehead and explained helplessly: "Miss Yu held a banquet in the Gathering Garden in order to thank your brother for finding out the truth for her. ”
Lin Mo was silent and didn't speak.
"I, can I go along?" Lin Xiaoying hugged Wei Yun's arm and looked at her with pleading eyes.
It took Wei Yun a lot of effort to withdraw his arm, and he still remembered the words "tryst" in his heart, "Ask your brother to go." ”
Lin Xiaoying went to hug her brother's thigh again, and said pitifully: "The food in the garden is delicious and delicious, but it ......is expensive."
Lin Mo glanced at her, "I haven't taken you to eat on the first day of the first month of every month?" ”
Lin Xiaoying smiled, "My brother took me the best, but I can't eat enough if it's delicious." ”
In the end, Lin Xiaoying stalked and finally got her wish and entered the Gathering Garden, and followed her brother to eat.
When going up the stairs, Lin Xiaoying didn't forget to say: "Brother, or you snatch the cook home." ”
Wei Yun stumbled and almost fell downstairs, but fortunately, Lin Mo helped him empathetically, glanced at the shopkeeper who was looking back in front of him and said to Lin Xiaoying: "If you want your brother to be targeted by everyone, just say it." ”
The three of them entered the private room, and Yu Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted, and asked the shopkeeper to serve the food.
Lin Mo introduced: "This is the sister, Lin Xiaoying"
Lin Xiaoying hurriedly saluted and said reservedly: "I heard that Sister Yu is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is so good-looking when I see her today." ”
Yu Zhen smiled faintly: "Sister Lin is not bad. ”
The two quickly got together, and there was a lot of laughter at the dinner table.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Zhen glanced at Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen understood, picked up the wine glass and apologized to Lin Mo and Wei Yun.
Wei Yun played with the fan and glanced at Ah Zhen, and the deep guilt in her eyes didn't seem to be fake, "Miss Yu is very affectionate, I know that you are forced to save it, and Ah Zhen doesn't want to live up to her kindness." ”
Ah Zhen hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Yu Zhen with tears in her eyes, "The slave will serve the girl well in the future." ”
Yu Zhen waved her hand to signal her to get up, raised her eyes to look at Lin Mo, and suddenly said solemnly: "This time, I invited Major General Lin and Miss Yun to the Hui Building, in addition to thanking the two of you, there is one more thing. ”
Lin Mo put down the teacup, "Miss Yu, if there is anything else, you might as well say it directly." ”
Yu Zhen glanced at Lin Xiaoying, a little worried.
Wei Yun saw that Lin Xiaoying had already pounced on the meal, where did she still have the heart to care about these things, and the corner of the girl's mouth was still stained with the sauce of pig's trotters.
Wei Yun smiled: "This girl only cares about eating, you say it." ”
Lin Xiaoying raised her head after realizing it, and saw that everyone's eyes were all on her, she was stunned, her face turned crimson, she laughed dryly, and said embarrassedly: "This pig's trotters taste so good, haha, you can eat it too." After speaking, his gaze turned to the pig's trotters on Wei Yun's plate that had not yet had time to move.
Wei Yun empathetically sandwiched the pig's trotters into her bowl, and also empathetically poured her a cup of tea to relieve her greasy.
Lin Xiaoying immediately said flatteringly: "Sister Yun is really good to me, better than my brother is to me." ”
Wei Yun touched her head.
Lin Mo glanced at her and said lightly: "I can't sleep at night after eating too much." ”
Lin Xiaoying frowned, glanced at her brother, and said angrily, "I can sleep." ”
Lin Mo ignored her anymore and raised his eyes to signal Yu Zhen to continue.
Seeing Lin Xiaoying's innocent and romantic appearance, Yu Zhen had a much less worried look on her face, and after thinking for a while, she said: "I know from Ah Zhen that the poison she gave me is different from the poison I gave to my kitten. ”
"What?" Wei Yun suddenly got up from the chair, her eyes stayed on Yu Zhen for a while, and then turned to Ah Zhen on the side.
Ah Zhen was a little stunned by Wei Yun's gaze, bit her lip lightly and said, "When Yu Yiyi asked me to poison my young lady, she gave me a prescription with only cinnabar tears written on it, and asked me to go to the pharmacy to buy it. The little maid lowered her head when she said this, probably because she felt sorry for her master, and she was not embarrassed to continue.
"Cinnabar tears?" Lin Mo frowned lightly and asked rhetorically.
"Yes, it's cinnabar tears, and the poison in me is Chaoyang grass, which is even more poisonous." Yu Zhen pinched the teacup, but the gentle teacup made her feel less than half a minute of temperature, as if a pair of eyes hiding in the dark were watching her, and she might rush out at any time to kill herself.
Fear crawls down the ankle to the shoulder.
Lin Mo and Wei Yun glanced at each other, and they could both see the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Although cinnabar tears are also poisonous, they will not have any effect on others when they go down to a cat, unless that person has a pit in his head and stews the dead cat and eats it.
Yu Yiyi asked Ah Zhen to poison Yu Zhen's cat, and he didn't want to harm Yu Zhen's life, Bacheng was just a momentary jealousy and wanted to give some punishment, so there was someone else who wanted Yu Zhen's life.
Wei Yun thought for a while and asked the maid, "What happened on the day you got drugged?" ”
Ah Zhen knew that this matter was important, and after thinking about it carefully in her heart, she said: "I didn't encounter anything...... paused, and suddenly said with some horror: "That day, the kitten naughtily ran out of the room, and when the slave went out to look for it, she happened to meet Liu Guifei's palace maid going out to run errands......
That day, Ah Zhen went out to look for the kitten, and saw a person in a light-colored palace dress from a distance, Ah Zhen recognized the clothes, it was the maid in the palace, and when she saw the person walking towards her, Ah Zhen was a little nervous and clenched the cinnabar tears hidden in the sleeve.
Ah Zhen was already a thief, and she was very scared when she came out all the way and saw someone looking at her, whether the poison hidden in her sleeve was discovered, in short, she was nervous all the way, and when she saw the palace maid walking towards her, she hurriedly wanted to walk away.
"Alas! You wait. The palace maid caught up, grabbed Ah Zhen, looked her up and down for a long time, and saw that her hand hidden in her sleeve was trembling, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to see anyone, the palace maid had covered her mouth and chuckled and said: "Don't be afraid, I am Liu Guifei's palace maid, I just want to ask you, where is Jiuxiang Spring?" ”
Ah Zhen shook her head, her palms were already covered with sweat, if it weren't for the wind blowing at this time, I am afraid that people would have seen her slightly trembling hands in her swaying sleeves, and whispered: "I don't know." ”
The palace maid looked left and right with her sleeves to cover her forehead to cover the sun, and said with some annoyance: "My mother heard that the spring water of Jiuxiang Spring is sweet and sweet, and it is best to use it to make tea. ”
After listening to this, Ah Zhen raised her head and glanced at the palace maid, and saw that her forehead was covered with fine sweat, her posture was mediocre, but her eyes were good-looking, and she looked at herself softly at this time.
Ah Zhen bit her lip lightly, and knowing that she was a slave and maid, she knew that she was not good at the master, so she whispered: "It may be in the mountains." ”
"Really?" The palace maid approached Ah Zhen and asked with some joy.
"Well, I heard from my young lady that it was on the mountain."
"Who is your young lady?"
Ah Zhen licked her lips and said to the inquiring gaze of the palace maid: "My lord is Prime Minister Yu. ”
The palace maid suddenly realized, "It turns out that you are Ah Zhen." ”
Ah Zhen was stunned, and thought that the people who worked in the palace would also know their names, so she lowered her head and didn't speak.
The palace maid greeted her warmly for a while, and suddenly asked, "I just saw you looking for something from a long distance?" ”
