Chapter 779: Poisoning
779
The whole month of Layue was busy, and during this period, a small group of Turks came to attack and harass, and the soldiers on the front line did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Fortunately, the nursery hall and the military clothing workshop presided over by Wei Yining before have been stabilized, which has played a certain role in appeasing the people in the city.
Due to weather and time constraints, this is the only way to do at this time. The follow-up measures to be implemented will have to wait for the beginning of the spring of the new year.
It was snowing outside again that day, and Zhong Ye sent someone to tell Wei Yining that he didn't have to wait for him for dinner. The next person asked Wei Yining what to eat at night, and Wei Yining ordered to cook some mixed rice and bean porridge, with two side dishes.
Futaba's sister Shuanghua is getting married, so she took three days off and went home.
So Ah Qing temporarily took her errand and served by Wei Yining's side.
Lingzhi lit the lamp, looked at it and said, "Presumably dinner is almost ready, I'll go and see." ”
"I'd better go!" Ah Qing hurriedly said: "If it's good, I'll bring it directly, if it's not good, I'll wait a little longer." ”
"Then you'll have to work for you." Lingzhi smiled, "I'll add some carbon to the earth dragon." ”
Ah Qing went for a while and came in with a big food box.
"It's snowing out there again, isn't it?" Lingzhi saw that there was a lot of snow on her, so she hurriedly came over to help her clean up.
"It's really bigger than during the day." Ah Qing put the food box on the table.
"I don't know how thick it will be until tomorrow morning," Lingzhi washed his hands and opened the food box: "Don't look at the thickness of the snow now, wait until the spring sun is hot and the wind blows for a few days, and it will be dry immediately." ”
At this time, Wei Yining was still studying and concentrating.
Lingzhi set the dishes and chopsticks in place, and carefully asked, "Madame, stop first, it's time to eat." ”
Wei Yining raised his head at this time, rubbed his eyes with a smile and said, "If you are fascinated for a while, you will forget the time." ”
At this time, Xiao She'er had already brought the basin over and asked Wei Yining to wash his hands.
As he wiped his hands, he heard someone talking outside, as if there was an argument.
"Who's out there? Why are you so unruly? Lingzhi couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "I actually ran to the lady's room to quarrel, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Lingzhi walked outside, opened the curtain and saw that it was a maid and two mothers-in-law in the yard arguing.
She also knows this maid, it is the Xigu who entered the house with Ah Qing and Ah Yun.
This Xigu is honest, doesn't like to talk much, and her appearance is slightly inferior to Ayun Aqing, so she only helps in the backyard, and usually doesn't come to the front yard, I don't know what's wrong today, but I actually ran to the upper room.
"What's wrong?" Lingzhi lowered his face and whispered, "Madame is about to eat." ”
"Sister Lingzhi, don't let Madame eat, it's poisonous!" Xigu said loudly: "I want to go in and tell Madame, these two mothers are blocking and not letting in." ”
"What did you say?!" Lingzhi was taken aback: "You can't talk nonsense!" ”
"How dare I!" Aunt Xi begged: "Sister, go in quickly, stop your face!" ”
Lingzhi didn't care about distinguishing the real from the fake at this time, and quickly turned over and came back, but fortunately, Wei Yining didn't move the chopsticks.
"Madam, Aunt Xi said that this meal is poisonous, don't eat it yet."
"Poisonous?" Wei Yining frowned slightly and said, "Call her in and talk back." ”
After Xigu came in, she knelt there in a regular manner, her face was crimson, and she didn't know if it was freezing or because she was nervous.
"You're Aunt Xi? How do you know if this meal is poisonous? Wei Yining asked her: "You tell the truth, don't lie." ”
"It's Ah Qing and Ah Yun," Xi Gu seemed to muster up her courage: "I saw with my own eyes, they put something in Madame's porridge." ”
"You talk nonsense!" Ah Qing immediately became anxious: "Why should I poison my wife?" ”
"I don't know why, but it wasn't normal for you and Ah Yun to be in the military clothing shop." Xigu said.
"Madam, I am innocent." Ah Qing knelt down and said, "How could I poison you?" ”
"You two don't quarrel, just find someone to test whether it is poisonous." Lingzhi said: "Call Ah Yun over too, don't let her run around." ”
After a while, Zhou Quan also knew about this, and hurriedly went outside to invite a man to come.
Lieutenant General Lang carefully looked at the food on the table and said, "It's just some Poria powder added here, and it's not poisonous." ”
"How can there be poria powder in Madame's porridge?" When Lingzhi heard this, he asked, "I didn't let them put this when I asked the kitchen to cook porridge." ”
"I put it," Ah Yun was also brought at this time, and said with some embarrassment: "This is the best Poria cocos powder, my uncle's family used to open a medicine shop, and when I fled, I put all the valuable medicinal materials around everyone, and I brought Poria cocos powder." Because of our gratitude for my wife's kindness, my sister and I wanted to find an opportunity to repay it. Thinking about it, there is nothing to be honored, only this bag of Poria powder. But if you give it directly to Mrs., I am afraid that people will think that the two of us are deliberately flattering, so I secretly put some in the porridge to make up for Mrs. I didn't expect such a misunderstanding, it's really damn it. ”
"You two deliberately designed to deceive me!" Xigu was very angry: "Madam, don't believe the two of them!" There's definitely something wrong with them. ”
"Alright, stop arguing. Who is right and who is wrong in this matter, Mrs. has her own judgment. Lingzhi stopped a few of them: "If you don't stop arguing, you will all fight out!" ”
"Well, that's just a misunderstanding." Wei Yining didn't get angry: "It's just that I don't eat Poria powder, and you don't need to do it." Regarding my diet, no one should make any claims, otherwise there is no suspicion and suspicion, do you understand? ”
"Thank you, Madame, for teaching, the slaves and maids understand." The three of them bowed their heads in agreement.
"Okay, that's it, go back wherever you need to be, and bring me another porridge." Wei Yining said.
When everyone retreated, Lingzhi cautiously asked Wei Yining: "Do you still need to dispose of these few?" If the lady didn't like it, she told them all to go back to the military clothing shop. I choose the appropriate additionally to come in. ”
"Why bother?" Wei Yining said calmly: "I think they are all good, how to do it or what to do, even if Futaba comes back in the future, let Aqing Ayun serve in the upper room." ”
"Okay, I'll go back and let me know. In fact, it is also possible that there is no harmony between them, after all, when they came in together, Aqing Ayun had a better life than Aunt Xi," Lingzhi said: "But it's not a big deal, it's good to talk to each other, and I'll find an opportunity to call them together to talk about it when I get back." ”
Wei Yining didn't talk anymore, and continued to read after dinner, seemingly not taking this matter to heart at all.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the New Year, but this year was also in a hurry, and everyone didn't have much heart to celebrate, after all, they always had to watch out for the Turkic invasion.
