Chapter 221: Zhou Niangzi
After dinner, the manager of the flower room asked people to bring some red plums.
Mrs. Song has always loved plum blossoms, but also love red plums, got this red plum just cut from the tree, Mrs. Song hurriedly instructed Mrs. Ma, let Mrs. Ma go to Anxin Zhai, and took a pair of Yongzhou white porcelain vases that Zhao put in the warehouse.
After taking the white porcelain vase back and resting it on the high table, Mrs. Song recruited a few maids into the house, led a few maids and women, and began to prune the red plums.
Several little maids have never learned flower arrangement, so when they insert red plums, they are all taught by Mrs. Song on the side.
Mrs. Ma waited on the sidelines, watching Mrs. Song teach a few little maids to learn flower arrangement.
"Old lady, when the old slave went to Anxinzhai, I heard the mother-in-law who was waiting in the lady's house say that Mrs. Li pointed to Mrs. Li, who was serving closely, to go to Cuiweiju to help the girl investigate the thief, and then pointed out the nurse Zhao who was serving Brother Ze, and asked Nurse Zhao to work with Mrs. Li to investigate the thieves in the girl's house, who is it?"
However, the old slave heard that when Mrs. Li went over, she saw Nurse Zhao in the girl's room, and without saying a word, she quarreled with Nurse Zhao on the spot. The girl was also present, and when she saw the two of them arguing, she hurried out to persuade them to fight. ”
Ma Pozi lowered her head and said, not daring to raise her head to look at the old lady Song in front of her.
Old Madam Song also pretended not to hear Mrs. Ma's words, so she said.
"Mrs. Li and Nurse Zhao have been serving by Mrs. Zhao's side for many years, and both of them are brought by Mrs. from the Zhao family to marry.
Among them, Mrs. Li is deeply used by Mrs. Li, and she also became the housekeeper of Anxin Zhai. The reason why Mrs. Li is not worried about going to the girl's house to investigate alone must be because she is worried about Mrs. Li and who in the girl's house will give each other privately, right?"
As soon as Mrs. Song said this, Mrs. Ma understood.
However, Mrs. sent Mrs. Li over, and asked Mrs. Zhao to go over to investigate with Mrs. Li, no wonder Mrs. Li quarreled with Mrs. Zhao.
"Old lady, what should we do? Do you want the old slave to go over and see it for himself? Hearing the news from Dongxue, the girl has locked on Bai He and Fu Yuan, and must be one of the two of them. ”
Ma Pozi didn't know what the old lady was thinking, so she asked a few tentative questions to see what the old lady was thinking in her heart?
"The girl is already locked on Fleur and White Lotus? Are you sure one of them stole the contents of the girl's house?"
Mrs. Song didn't believe what Mrs. Ma said, so she asked again.
was asked by Mrs. Song like this, and Mrs. Ma dared to tell the truth.
"Old lady, no evidence has been found yet. But the girl had already instructed the camellia and cuckoo sent by her lady to go to the porter's house, and to investigate the hibiscus and white lotus, and the records of going in and out of the house these days. ”
"The girl is afraid that she has already made up her mind, who is the thief? The reason why Camellia and Cuckoo went to the gatehouse to retrieve the records of Camellia and Cuckoo in and out of the house was nothing more than to lure the snake out of the hole. ”
Old Madam Song secretly analyzed it in her heart.
The reason why Jin'er dared to do this was that in the bottom of her heart, she already knew who the thief was.
Because once the records of entering and leaving the house these days are retrieved, you can know who is in and out of the house more frequently these days.
If you want to completely sell the stolen things, you need to find a suitable pawn shop.
However, among these pawn shops in the Jingshi, there are not no pawnshops that collect stolen goods, but very few.
You need to ask one by one to find a pawnshop that can sell stolen goods.
Old Madam Song thought about it in her heart for a while, and then said a few words to the Ma Pozi beside her.
"Go and invite Mrs. Zhou who is waiting in the front yard to me, she is in charge of the records of the maids and maids in the house, presumably she must have an impression of the maids who frequently enter and leave the house."
"And if they go out, they will definitely carry the stolen goods with them, ask Mrs. Zhou, when will it be."
After Mrs. Song finished talking, Mrs. Ma got the order, and immediately went to the front yard and invited Mrs. Zhou to come over.
After a while, Ma Pozi invited Zhou Niangzi over.
Mrs. Song asked the maid to move the embroidery stool over, and asked Mrs. Zhou to sit on the embroidery stool and talk back.
"Zhou Niangzi, what is your impression of the maids who frequently come and go in the house these days?"
"There are a few things that don't matter in Jin'er's house, and after investigation, they were taken out of the house to pawn by the maid who was serving by Jin'er's side."
"You control the entry and exit of the maid, whenever someone goes out, or someone enters the house, there will be a record here for you."
"What the old lady said is that the maids and maids in the house enter and leave the house, and there are records of the slaves and maids. I just heard from the old lady that there were a few things that didn't matter in the girl's house, and the slave wanted to ask the old lady what it was?"
The reason why Zhou Niangzi asked Mrs. Song like this is because these days, she has noticed that Bai He is in and out of the house, extremely frequently, and every time she goes out, Bai He will carry a burden.
Although there is no rule in the house to check the baggage of subordinates, but as the days go by, Zhou Niangzi has doubts in her heart.
In the end, there is something hidden in the baggage that Bai Lotus brings out every day.
Once when Bai He went out, Zhou Niangzi specially left Bai He in the small courtyard of the gatehouse, and after saying a few words, she caught a glimpse of Bai He's baggage and put a red porcelain vase.
After being accidentally seen by Zhou Niangzi, Bai He immediately covered her burden more tightly, and she was not allowed to approach.
Listening to Mrs. Zhou's question, Ma Pozi paused, and simply told her what she had lost in the girl's house.
"Mrs. Zhou, there is a red porcelain plum vase missing from the girl's room, as well as a few pairs of jade bracelets."
"The girl doesn't know, when did these things get lost? A few days ago, the maids were organized to sweep the dust in the girl's house, only to find that there were many things missing. ”
I heard Mrs. Ma say that among the things lost in the girl's house, there was a red porcelain plum vase.
It happened that she saw in the white lotus's baggage that day, there was a small and delicate red porcelain vase.
At that time, she was about to ask Bai He, where did this porcelain vase come from?
As a result, Bai He didn't say a word, picked up his baggage and left.
She chased her out, intending to ask Bai He a few more words, but Bai He sent her away on the grounds that it was the girl's personal belongings.
"Old lady, the slave may know who the person who stole the things from the girl's house is. It's just that the old slave is not sure if that person is the one who stole the things in the girl's house? Please also ask the old lady and Ma's mother to help the slave and maid do a verification? ”
