809. Hooked on fasting?
Ye Jingjing raised her eyebrows, and generally knew what was going on.
The cooks in charge of cooking hid some of the vegetables and meat, and these old mothers either hid things when they helped, or secretly took some money when they were purchasing.
This situation is not uncommon, and Ye Jingjing is not surprised.
Even Qing officials' families have this kind of thing, let alone other dignitaries?
But come to think of it, that is, relying on Shen Ping to do business on his own, his family is wealthy, if he is empty like other Qing officials, I am afraid that these cooks will have killed him a long time ago.
Just as Ye Jingjing was thinking, the old mothers and the cook were arguing fiercely, nothing more than saying that the cook should not confess himself; And the cook did not show weakness, and said in his throat that they themselves were also guilty.
"Enough is enough, if you shout again, you will recruit everyone!"
Ye Jingjing really couldn't stand this noisy atmosphere, so she shouted and immediately calmed them.
"You guys, if you really don't want me to tell Lord Shen about this, just be obedient from now on, shut up, and you will speak again when I ask!"
Several people nodded hurriedly, and the cook even covered his mouth, signaling that he was absolutely obedient.
Ye Jingjing thought about it and pointed to the cook, "Let me ask you, how long have you been with Lord Shen?" ”
"I was the cook he brought from home, and I have been serving for a long time, probably for more than ten years." The cook replied.
Ye Jingjing was very satisfied, "Then let me ask you, do you know everything about Lord Shen?" ”
The cook scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I ......"
"What does he know, he's a cook, can you expect him to solve the case?" The old mother next to her rushed to say.
Ye Jingjing glared at her, "When I didn't allow you to speak, you just shut up." ”
Her eyes were sharp, and those old mothers were startled, so they naturally didn't dare to speak again.
Ye Jingjing asked again, "Say, do you understand?" ”
Although it was an inquiring tone, with her momentum, the cook always felt like he was being interrogated.
But fear is fear, he can't help but answer, so he has to stammer, "Yes, understand...... But on the case, I ......"
"Who asked you about the case? I'm going to inquire about Shen Ping. Ye Jingjing gave him a blank look. Let me ask you, has Shen Ping ever been married? ”
"Nope." The cook is determined. "Our family has never married a wife and had children!"
Ye Jingjing was a little surprised, "Really not?" That bastard out there or something......"
The cook shook his head, "That's wrong, our family is a righteous gentleman, and he never goes to a place like a green house, and naturally he won't have an improper relationship with other women."
He is so busy with his career, not only thinking about being a good official, but also thinking that he can't lose the family business, and he is so busy every day, where can he have time to start a family? So even if the matchmaker broke the threshold of the family, he did not marry any woman. ”
In this way, the "divorced wife" in Shen Ping's mouth was made up by him, which proves that the one who pestered him was not his wife, but something else.
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that it is the soul of the young woman in Huo Feng's mouth.
However, of course, Ye Jingjing didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and her intuition told her that the so-called "unjust soul" was probably disguised by people.
She thought for a moment and asked, "In that case, then let me ask again: I heard that Shen Ping has not rested well recently, do you know the reason?" ”
The cook scratched his head, "Well, I've only heard that adults have been having nightmares, but I don't know what ...... going on."
"Of course you don't know, you weren't there when the adult had an accident!" The old mother next to her couldn't help but interject again.
This time, Ye Jingjing didn't shut her up, but smelled the clues, "Something's wrong?" What's going on? ”
Seeing her ask herself, the old mother immediately opened the conversation box and said excitedly, "Girl, oh no, please listen to me, our master is actually haunted by a ghost!" ”
"It's the same familiar rhetoric again." Ye Jingjing muttered. "Tuanzi, what kind of bug is your system, why are you not a ghost or a goblin, have you been obsessed with chatting lately?"
This time, there was no complaint, but what followed was the chef's loud voice, "Hey, didn't the master say that this matter can't be said, especially not to outsiders?!" ”
The old mother rolled her eyes, "I didn't say it either, I told it to this Lord Qincha from the imperial court, how can Lord Qincha be considered an outsider, right?" ”
She smiled flatteringly, and Ye Jingjing was also willing to go up the pole and nodded.
The cook stomped his feet, a little anxious, "The housekeeper doesn't allow us to talk about this matter on weekdays, and you still talk about it outside......"
"Maybe I can help you adults solve the problem." Ye Jingjing interjected. "Carefully speaking, otherwise I don't know how to help him."
The old mother nodded, and said eloquently, "It was raining heavily that day, and this cook went to the next county town to buy vegetables, because there are adult friends to come, so I need to prepare some good things to entertain friends, what grouse and osmanthus fish, bird's nest bear's paw, ......"
"Getting to the point."
Seeing that the old mother was talking, Ye Jingjing hurriedly interrupted her.
The old mother nodded, "Okay, good." Anyway, that day, the old man was in the study when he suddenly heard a voice outside. The voice seemed to be a woman laughing, and it sounded quite young. ”
"How do you know?" Ye Jingjing asked suspiciously.
The old lady showed a smug expression, "Because we all heard it." Although it was raining, the sound was quite clear, and as you can see, the place where we lived was not big, so we all ran out with it.
As a result, a flash of lightning struck, and everyone saw a woman appear out of thin air in the courtyard. The woman turned around and smiled at the master, but the master didn't know what was going on and immediately fainted.
"We rushed to save someone, but when we came to our senses, the woman was gone. The housekeeper said that he had chased it before, but the woman disappeared out of thin air and couldn't be chased at all, so it was very likely that it was a ghost.
"We didn't believe it, but when the old man woke up, he said that the woman shouldn't have been here. We were all curious, and we didn't dare to ask, but we heard the old man himself say that the woman had died a long time ago. Look, isn't this the hell! ”
A story was told by the old mother, and with her tone and dancing movements, Ye Jingjing felt as if she had really seen the scene of that day.
In this way, it is right with what Huo Feng said, but Ye Jingjing vaguely feels that there are still doubts in this.
