Chapter 49: The concubine's wit
"Don't you already know why Wang Jiugui snubbed Aunt Zhen?"
Lan Ting looked at the return of spring, at this time he was choked by the tea, the two rows of eyelashes were raised high, revealing the great surprise in his eyes, looking at it this way, he clearly still maintained a bit of childish innocence, not stained with half of the pretentiousness of the past, he couldn't help but carefully observe the woman's demeanor, silently remembering that she was still holding the tea cup in her hand, her fingertips were on the lid of the cup, and her little tail finger was slightly cocked; Her hair bun seems to be lowered at will, the misty sideburns are like condensing earlobes, the wind mustache is only decorated with a simple silver hairpin, and the hairpin tail is a white pearl, which is at this moment, refracting orange light; The curve of the bridge of her nose is very soft, and the skin on the wing of her nose seems to be extraordinarily transparent, so it looks like it is carved from white jade.
Lan Ting's fingers could hardly help but sketch on his knees, and he wanted to make sure that what he saw at this time was a work of Danqing, Huihui's unconscious posture and charm, which was natural, saving him from thinking about composition.
However, how Ren looked at it, his mind diverged, and it still seemed that there was nothing abnormal, and Chun Gui did not feel a little uncomfortable under Lan Ting's gaze, and about her inquiry, Lan Ting certainly did not forget to respond.
"yes, I know."
"But how do you know?"
"Of course, I asked Wang Weng directly."
Spring Return: !!
I really didn't see it, her husband has such a voyeuristic heart under a serious surface, but is it really good to explore people's privacy like this?
"Why is Hui Hui so shocked? Wang Weng has made up his mind to find out the cause of his death, whether it is really framed by others, he will naturally cooperate with our investigation, and Bai is an inner house woman, if you want to talk about the stakes, the first thing should be considered between wives and concubines, although compared to Zhou and Zheng, the two maids are less suspicious, but they can't be completely ignored, I propose that we must understand how many people who can't get rid of suspicion, and whether there is a feud between Bai, naturally it involves whether the wives and concubines compete for favor, but Wang Weng took the initiative to explain that his several wives and concubines, The most snub is this Aunt Zhen, who thinks that there is no stake between Aunt Zhen and the Bai family at all. ”
Listening to Lan Ting's explanation, Chun Gui realized that he had fundamentally "distorted" her husband, who was the same as her husband on the outside, and everyone was thinking about it in their hearts, where would they be as peepy as her? As soon as he felt blushing, he thought that he had paid attention to Aunt Zhen at the beginning, and the purpose was quite "pure", and he also thought that the concubine and the Bai family might also have a stake, and they didn't lose too far, so they immediately eliminated their shame.
"Aunt Ru was originally a maid in Zheng's house, when Zheng fell out of favor and lost the power of the housekeeper, she must have been unconvinced, so she planned to use Aunt Ru to suppress Bai, but it didn't succeed, although Aunt Ru was pregnant one step ahead of Bai, but she gave birth to a daughter, and she didn't get much attention from Wang Jiugui, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, Aunt Ru is no longer in her youth, and she has been defeated, I inquired, Aunt Ru has not had a conflict with Bai for some time, to say that she suddenly hated Bai to the bone, and she had to put it to death and then quickly, I really can't understand where such ferocious hatred comes from. "Spring returns.
"So what does Huihui think of that Aunt Zhen?" Lan Ting asked.
"She is obviously the youngest of Wang Jiugui's wives and concubines, and her appearance is said to be not lost to the Bai family, I just saw her in a hurry today, and I haven't even heard her say a word, and I can't observe what kind of temperament she is, just look at her serving the sick by Zhou's side, she is very careful and meticulous, and Zhou's treatment of her is also kind and pleasant, unlike Zheng's arrogance towards Aunt Ru."
"According to Wang Weng, about three years ago, Zhou suddenly proposed to let the maid in the house, that is, Aunt Zhen, serve him, he didn't think much about it, agreed, at first he also liked Aunt Zhen was young, beautiful and gentle and considerate, how did he know that one day, Aunt Zhen suddenly said that she took the initiative to plead with Zhou, wanting to serve Wang Weng, because he had been in love with Wang Weng for a long time, Wang Weng heard this, not only was he happy, but he was resistant to Aunt Zhen."
Spring Return: ......
"Wang Weng is a self-aware man." Lan Ting smiled slightly when he saw the unknown appearance of Chun's return: "If it were twenty years ago, maybe Wang Weng would have believed Aunt Zhen's words, but now that he is over fifty years old, where can he win the love of Youth and Young Ai?" Wang Weng knew that a servant girl like Aunt Zhen was committed to him, but he wanted to get rid of the life of being a slave and a maid, to put it bluntly, it was the word 'money and profit', which was also reasonable, Wang Weng was not resistant, he was jealous that Aunt Zhen was too scheming, and the plan must be big, so he had been snubbed, especially in the past two years, and he never let Aunt Zhen get close. ”
Chungui frowned: "It's because of Aunt Zhen's words that Wang Jiugui is so suspicious?" "It's weird to think about it.
"Aunt Zhen is the maid in Zhou's house, but Wang Weng is convinced that his wife does not have such a deep heart, and it is impossible to teach Aunt Zhen how to please men, even if she instructs, it is nothing more than instilling gentleness and virtue, but what Aunt Zhen said to Wang Weng is a bit like a means for a happy woman to please a man, that is to say, Aunt Zhen knows very well that a rich man of Wang Weng's age can get the true feelings of youth, vanity will be greatly satisfied, and reduce the depression of the twilight years."
Chungui realized: "Aunt Zhen is a slave purchased by the Wang family through Yaxing, Wang Jiugui suspected that her previous experience was not simple, and persuaded the master mother to become a concubine, and also tried to win more favor, which is why the suspicion is too deep." ”
couldn't help but have some changes to Wang Jiugui: "How many people can't escape the beauty scheme, Wang Jiugui is rare to have this wisdom." ”
"Wang Weng was born in extreme poverty, and he can have today's family business, not only because of luck." Lan Ting asked Chun Gui again: "Seeing Zhou and Zheng today, did Hui Hui see some clues?" ”
Asked by this, Chun Gui sighed.
Zhou and Zheng are the two major suspects who killed Bai, although Chungui has been a little shaken after listening to Bai's words, but there is still a glimmer of hope, who knows that I have seen two people today successively, I have to believe that Bai's judgment is true, Zhou and Zheng don't look like murderers.
"Zhou's won't say it, Wang Jiugui judged his wife correctly, at first glance, he was scheming, so he said that Zheng's, she does have a grudge against Bai's and has a motive, and it can't be said that she has no scheming, but as far as Zheng's temperament is concerned, I really don't believe that she has the ability to do such a thing as buying and contemplating, framing and poisoning."
Although Chungui and Lan Ting also agreed on a "competition" relationship, of course she would not hide her secrets, so she told Lan Ting about today's contact with the Zheng family one by one, and inferred: "I was deliberately inquiring today, and I was worried about making the Zheng family suspicious, reminding myself not to be too revealing, so I pretended to be a philistine with a long tongue. ”
For example, about Aunt Zhen, Chun Gui just praised her appearance and regretted such a look, but she was snubbed at a young age, and Zheng immediately expanded her opinion - "What is the use of just having a face?" The people trained by Mrs. are not all as stupid as her! This Aunt Zhen, in terms of meditation in the wife's house, she bought it from the same tooth person, and she also bought it together, if it wasn't for Aunt Zhen's intercession for meditation, maybe the Bai family wouldn't look down on meditation at all, Aunt Zhen always has kindness to meditation, right? As a result, Aunt Zhen became Aunt Zhen, and Mrs. didn't say a word, but Ning Si was annoyed with Aunt Zhen, saying that she betrayed the master, and now she loves Aunt Zhen and ignores her. Gu Niangzi didn't know, this wife of our family was born poor, not to mention it, and she was widowed in the past......"
Without disobedience, the transition from complaining about Aunt Zhen to contemplation and then to Zhou's was completed.
Another example is Chun Guigang's words: "I heard my grandson mention it, it seems that this Mo Dao Dao invited by your mansion is to overdo it for the third wife?" ”
Zheng is more like being opened up to talk about this vein: "This thing starts from the beginning, but it will be long." The third wife of our family, is a prostitute from a green building, relying on the fox ability to play elementary school, but also to please the master, once coaxed the wife and her sisters to match, in our family, but really can be regarded as a character who wants to get wind and rain and rain, even I thought that she should be like this in her life, and somehow offended his wife, that is, the lady also noticed the maid contemplation earlier, and sued her in front of the master, the master got angry and grounded the third wife, I didn't expect the third wife to be unable to figure it out, I actually committed suicide by taking poison! ”
Of course, this statement is different from the truth, but it is not Zheng's intention to deceive, in fact, even if she is open-mouthed, she still does not dare to disobey Wang Jiugui's ban and publicize the shame of his "green cloud cover".
Hearing Chungui say "It's a pity", Zheng didn't hide her disgust for Bai at all: "The third wife is not a good person, she showed off her power in front of me when she was in power, and she didn't look at what kind of background she was, a cheap prostitute in a green building!" Ending up in this situation is the luck she should have, she should have a cheap life, how can she enjoy glory and wealth? ”
crackled and practiced the Bai family hard, and the Zheng family was satisfied.
