The big ship traveled on the Xiangjiang River for three days, entered the canal for four days, and will go ashore tomorrow. The river further north has been closed, and the road beyond is a horse-drawn carriage.

After dinner, Xia Li suddenly felt that his stomach was swelling, and a stream of things was discharged, and he came to the moon letter. Her monthly letter is very accurate, it is the eighteenth or nineteenth day of each month, and today is only the fifteenth...... Maybe it has something to do with mood swings.

After she finished processing, she asked Jin Ling to go to the kitchen to boil a bowl of ginger syrup.

Today is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ye Feng is very kind to let people hang various lanterns around the big boat, and give the rabbit lamps and frog lamps he bought before to a few children to play.

The full moon in the sky was just right, and the moonlight was like a flower, and the many lanterns on the ship illuminated the big ship as bright as day. The children carrying the lanterns were having fun on the bow deck with the two dogs and one bear, and Ye Feng and a few subordinates stood there, not knowing whether to admire the moon or the lanterns.

Xia Li didn't go out, and she was most afraid of cold at this time. She opened the window and looked out, and although she couldn't see the people on the bow deck, she could hear how lively it was.

She looked at it for a while, feeling a little cold, and before closing the window, she glanced at the stern of the boat, and saw a person standing in a corner on the side of the stern. It's looking for eyebrows, she seems to be looking at the scenery, and she seems to be waiting for something.

The whole big ship, only a small part of the stern of the boat, only a lantern was hung, and it was obscure. There was a person hiding there, and he couldn't see it at all when he was far away, except for Xia Li.

Jin Ling, who went to the kitchen to boil ginger syrup for Xia Li, turned around from behind with a food box.

When Xunmei heard the movement, he greeted him and almost collided with Jin Ling.

Jin Ling was startled, the food box in her hand shook, and said unhappily, "What are you doing, scare me." ”

Xunmei hurriedly smiled, "Ouch, did you hit it?" I was a little tired of eating too many glutinous rice balls in the evening, and I wanted to go to the kitchen to order pickles to relieve my greasyness. ”

Jin Ling said angrily, "Then you don't look at it." Spilled the ginger syrup of the big grandmother, you please go. ”

Xun Mei also panicked, and said hurriedly, "Look at it, if it is spilled, it is my sin." ”

Jin Ling put the food box on the ground, and as soon as she opened the lid, her foot was stepped on by Xunmei, who came over, and she rubbed her foot and scolded, "What's the matter with you, where are you stepping on?" ”

Xun Mei hurriedly said, "It's so dark, I didn't see it." He glanced at the food box again and said, "Fortunately, the soup was not spilled, so let's take it to grandma to drink." ”

Jin Ling glanced at it, closed the lid of the food box, and walked forward with the food box.

In the dim light, Xia Li saw the corners of his mouth hooked when he looked at Jin Ling's back, and turned around and walked towards the back of the boat.

Although Xia Li only saw the back of Xun Mei when she approached the food box just now, she felt that she should have done something.

Xia Li's face sank.

Jin Ling put the ginger syrup on the table and said with a smile, "Grandma drink it while it's hot, and the slave has been boiling it for a long time." ”

Xia Li didn't drink, and said to Yinling, "Go and call Dangdang, I have something." Then he said to Jin Ling, "Go to the kitchen and get some ginger, brown sugar, and wolfberries for boiling this soup, I can use it." ”

After a while, Yinling brought up the dangdang who was playing with Zhengnong, and Jinling also came with ginger, brown sugar, and wolfberry.

Xia Li let Dangdang smell the ginger, brown sugar, and wolfberry, and let it smell the soup, and said, "What else is in this soup, you can find it." ”

Dangdang sniffed it carefully again and began to look for it.

Jin Ling knew that something was going on, so she knelt down and cried, "Grandma, when the soup is boiling, the slave maid has been guarding the side. Oh, they gave me a few fried minced Lantern Festival, and I was wrong. At that time, there were sister-in-law Hu, Mama Jin, and sister-in-law Hu in the kitchen. Oh, by the way, I also met Eyebrow on the way. ”

Xia Li followed Dangdang. When he turned around in the corridor on the second floor, he stopped outside the cabin of Eyebrow and Shadow and screamed at the door.

It seems that there is a real situation.

Shadow opened the door, and before she could understand what it meant, Dangdang squeezed in through her legs. He threw the eyebrow arch to the ground and sniffed down from the top of her head, the last front hoof pressing down on her right hand. There was nothing in her right hand, she must have taken something inappropriate just now.

Xun Mei was almost scared to death, and kept screaming, calling Ye Feng and Ye Li up.

Ye Feng asked, "What's going on?" ”

Xia Li snorted coldly, "There is material in my ginger syrup, and Dangdang caught this girl." ”

Xun Mei got up and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Uncle, grandma, slave and maid are wronged......"

Ye Feng's face darkened, and he said to Dangdang, "Look for it in the house again." ”

When Dangdang sniffed again, his nose stopped outside a makeup box and barked wildly at the makeup box.

Ye Li went to open the makeup box, but there was nothing except some jewelry.

Xunying said, "Oh, just now the slave saw Xunmei and hurriedly ran back, took out an oiled paper bag from the makeup box and threw it into the river. She was also frightened, in order to get rid of what to say.

Xunmei cried, "The slave maid lost a paper bag, which contained rose powder to wipe his face, and after a long time, the slave and maid were lost." She was talking to the cook in the kitchen just now, when she suddenly saw Jin Ling coming to get ginger, brown sugar, and wolfberry, thinking about how good her nose was, she was so frightened that she quickly ran back to the cabin and threw the bag of medicine into the river.

Ye Feng's face turned white, and he kicked Xunmei to the ground. gritted his teeth and scolded, "Slut, you actually dare to drug your grandmother." Do you think we won't be able to catch you if you deal with the incriminating evidence? Tell you, when the nose is the proof. For so many years, there has never been a slave in our Ye Mansion who dared to drug his master. He said to Ye Li and Ye Quan again, "Tie up this slave and take it to another boat for secret interrogation, I see if her mouth is hard or her whip is hard." ”

Ye Li and Ye Quan gagged Xun Mei's mouth and tied her to another boat. Ye Feng asked Ye Qing to keep the bowl of ginger syrup again, and he and Mama Zhao also followed.

Back in the cabin, Jin Ling cried and kowtowed to plead guilty.

Xia Li said weakly, "This is a lesson, don't let your guard down anytime and anywhere in the future." Let's go down. ”

Xia Li was so angry that his chest hurt. She hasn't arrived at the Guogong Mansion yet, and this is the beginning?

She had a gut feeling that the medicine wouldn't kill people, at least not once.

For so many days, she has eaten and lived with Ye Feng, and it is not easy to find her eyebrows. When Ye Feng was away, she either couldn't get close to her eyebrows, or she had two dogs and a bear by her side. Their noses are so good, she doesn't dare to touch them. Ye Feng and Dangdang were not there just now, and they were about to get off the boat again, so she did it.

The one who can command the movement of the eyebrows should be the mother-in-law and the county lord. If it was her, it would be better to go back to the Guogong Mansion by herself, why should she go down halfway......

Xia Li felt that the road ahead was even more difficult and cloudy than she had thought before. Before, it was mainly aimed at the Qiu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, why did she kill someone who was suspected of killing her now, maybe it was still the county lord's mother-in-law?

In the middle of the night, Ye Feng returned to the cabin.

Xia Li sat up and asked, "Did she recruit her?" ”
