Chapter 183: Aunt Zhou Makes Trouble
Xu Qi shook his head: "I...... I don't know now, I'll ask Master Zhou tomorrow. ”
An Ge already knew that she, Xu Qi, and Liu Pingle had all fallen for the scheme, and the people behind the scenes did this, probably to provoke the relationship between her and Liu Pingle. However, knowing that Xu Qi was really not interesting to her, and Fang Cai's words were not his original intention, she was also relieved.
An Ge sighed lightly and said, "It's too late tomorrow, Lord Xu should go to the doctor immediately to see if you have any poison, if there is still any poison in your body, it will be bad." ”
"Yes, Miss Ann has a point." Xu Qi got up and said, "Then I'll leave first." ”
"Don't, I'll go with you, I have to find out if you are really poisoned, and then I need you to prove my innocence in front of Pingle."
Xu Qi also nodded, and said solemnly: "Don't worry about this, if Miss Liu has any misunderstanding with you because of me, I will definitely come forward to explain it clearly." ”
Then the doctor really diagnosed a drug from Xu Qi's body, but it was just a drug, and people would only fall asleep for a moment after eating it, and when they were not asleep, they still seemed to be awake and said a lot of words.
That's weird...... It stands to reason that Xu Qi was asleep at the beginning, so how did those words come out of his mouth?
And also mentioned the things in the palace that night, and few people seem to know about that incident, right?
An Ge thought about it all night, and on the second day, Ning Jiu entered the bedroom and found that she was still sitting at the table, and was about to ask her if she was going to sleep for a while, An Ge suddenly said: "Aunt Jiu, last time you told me that Hezeju is not something that ordinary people can enter, is it?" ”
Ning Jiu nodded: "That's true, I saw it when the girl went last night, and the whole teahouse was empty...... Did the girl think of something? ”
"I want to find out who the hell is so boring and trying to stir up a relationship with me. You can help me go to Hezeju and ask who people were there yesterday, and it is best to find out who used the private room where Lord Xu was. ”
Ning Jiu didn't respond immediately this time, and An Ge wondered, "What's wrong?" Isn't it easy to check? ”
Ning Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Tsurusawa has its own rules, and it is easy not to tell anyone which guests have been, so some people in the court are willing to go there for a party......"
After listening to this, An Ge was also very distressed: "So, in order to protect its reputation, Hezeju will definitely not say it?" ”
"But the slaves and maids can try, maybe they are willing to sell the face of the old general."
An Ge nodded, and now it can only be like this: "Then you try it first, if it doesn't work, I'll think of another way." ”
Ning Jiu went out in response, but instead of going to Heze Ju to investigate, he went to the General's Mansion to find Jing Lan and told Jing Lan about it.
At noon the next day, Ning Jiu came back from outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to An Ge: "Girl, I have inquired, the only people who have been there last night are us and Princess Fufeng, and she also brought some people with her at that time, one of them is a man who lives by ventriloquism in Beijing, he can imitate all kinds of sounds, both human and animal." ”
An Ge pulled her to sit down, thought for a while, and said, "In other words, Lord Xu was indeed in a coma last night, and the one who said those words was the one who was good at ventriloquism?" He was in the room too? But the room was so big, we didn't see anyone else. ”
Ning Jiu nodded and said: "The master of Hezeju said that in order to facilitate the guests who were talking there to hide in a hurry, every room had a secret passage, and it was dark in the room at that time, and it was also separated by a screen, and that person hid in the secret passage to talk to us."
Didn't hear it. ”
An Ge nodded, and said with emotion: "Hezeju still has such a structure, which can be regarded as a magic weapon for their teahouse to flourish among high-ranking officials and nobles, they are even willing to tell you this, it seems that it is really the old general's face." ”
Ning Jiu's expression was strange for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal, she nodded and chuckled, "Yes." Now that the girl knows that it was Princess Fufeng who made the move, what are you going to do? ”
"First of all, let Pingle know that we are both being calculated...... Besides......" An Ge lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "When did Fufeng become so capable?" I actually came up with this kind of plan to separate me from peace and happiness. How did she know that I was a peaceful and happy sister? ”
Ning Jiu listened to it and guessed: "What does the girl mean is that someone else is making a hindrance and using Princess Fufeng's hand to harm you and Miss Liu?" ”
An Ge nodded: "Hmm." ”
Ning Jiu also helped think about it for a while, but she really couldn't think of who it was, so she got up and said, "Girl, the slave will go and give you a warm pot of tea." ”
An Ge nodded, and Ning Jiu retreated first.
She went to boil water, and heard Jinglan's footsteps in the yard, so she called another maid to help boil the water, and ran to the yard to catch up with Jinglan, shouting: "Master......"
Jing Lan stopped, gave her a look and told her not to speak, and walked with her to the next room, Jing Lan asked, "You didn't say it, did you?" ”
Ning Jiu nodded: "The master has explained that you are not allowed to tell Miss An that you came forward to discuss with the master of Hezeju, and the slave and maid naturally will not talk much, only say that it is the face of the old general." ”
Jinglan said "um" and said, "That's good." I don't want her to feel like I'm causing trouble. Go and get busy with yours, I'll go talk to her. ”
"Yes."
At this time, the Liu family was also in a mess.
Liu Pingle's aunt brought her cousin Zhou Qing to visit their family on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and then they have been living in Liufu ever since.
Aunt Zhou is the sister of Liu Pingle's mother, something happened to her husband's family, Aunt Zhou and her husband's family reconciled, and her son also separated from him together, so she changed her surname to Zhou.
The two of them have been living for several days, and in the past few days, Mrs. Liu, under the help of Aunt Zhou, plans to recruit Zhou Qing to be her son-in-law.
Zhou Qing has not improved after reading for many years, he has no strength in farming, he has no brains to do business, and he can't endure hardships...... But it's okay to be a son-in-law under this condition.
Liu Pingle still had Xu Qi in his heart before, and he would never agree with him as a cousin, but after listening to what Xu Qi said to An Ge, Liu Pingle was very angry with An Ge on the spot, but when he came back and thought about it, he also figured it out.
It was Xu Qi who admired An Ge, and An Ge didn't care much about him, and she also knew that she was just jealous, so after calming down, she still felt that she had to reconcile with An Ge and give up Xu Qi.
Since there is no obsession with Xu Qi in my heart, it doesn't matter who I marry.
So her attitude towards her cousin was much better this morning, because she wanted to see if the cousin was suitable for her husband.
His literary style is mediocre, and this Liu Pingle can bear it; He can't endure hardship, and this can be endured; He looks ordinary, and this can be endured...... But today, when she went to the yard where he lives now to ask him out to play, she actually saw him up and down her hand at her maid, and the maid's aggrieved eyes were red!
It's if she doesn't have the ability, she really can't bear it!
So when the willow
When Pingle saw this cousin put his hand into the maid's clothes and pulled her hand, she picked up a bowl of hot porridge and poured it over her face, burning Zhou Qing's face into pork liver......
The aunt was not easy to get along with, and when she saw that her son had suffered, she took him to cry in front of Liu Zong, and at this time the whole Liu family was gathered in the inner hall.
Aunt Zhou cried to Mrs. Liu for a long time about Zhou Qing's tragic situation, and now she said pitifully: "Sister, it's all me who is a sister, I'm tired of it." ”
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Sister, if you are here, Pingle will not have such an idea." ”
Liu Zongfang was also present, he was naturally looking for his own precious daughter, but it was not good to make too much trouble with his wife's own sister, so he said with relief: "It is estimated that it is a child playing, and Pingle is also careless." After the doctor finished reading it to Zhou Qing, I asked Pingle to compensate her, the matter of the child's family is over, okay? ”
Aunt Zhou looked at Liu Zongfang in surprise: "Children? How old is Pingle or a child? At my age in Pingle, I'm a child! It's still Lord Liu who can teach her daughter, and she is still a child when she is seventeen years old after the New Year! ……”
Aunt Zhou still had more terrible words that she didn't say: what kind of virtue does her family Zhou Qing have, a few catties and a few taels, she knows it clearly, the Liu family can even look at her son, and it also shows that the daughter of the Liu family is not much better, so she will be hungry.
But she also understands that the Liu family is indeed a good family affair, Zhou Qing can enter the Liu Mansion, and she, a widowed mother, must also be taken care of by the Liu Mansion.
So this happened today, she didn't want to quit her family, she just wanted to make a fuss and ask for more benefits.
Liu Zongfang's face turned dark, and he didn't know how to talk for a while, and at this moment, someone outside came to report that An Ge had come to find Liu Pingle.
Liu Zongfang breathed a sigh of relief, no matter who came, as long as he could rescue him from this embarrassing situation.
"Please, please come to the inner hall."
After a while, An Ge came in, she saluted Liu Zongfang and Mrs. Liu, and looked at Mrs. Zhou, seeing that Mrs. Zhou was dressed brightly, she thought it was the concubine of Liufu, so she only smiled at her and did not say hello.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Zhou snorted coldly and muttered in a voice that An Ge could hear: "Yo, Pingle's friends have eyes on the top of their heads like Pingle." ”
An Gehu glanced at her suspiciously, Liu Pingle is the big baby of Liufu, and no aunt dares to say that about Liu Pingle.
"This is Pingle's aunt." Liu Zongfang seemed to know what An Ge was thinking, opened his mouth to explain to her, and said with a smile, "Pingle soiled her dress in the morning, go back and clean up, and she will come over when she is ready, you are here and waiting." ”
An Ge nodded in response, and glanced at the aunt again, estimating that she was not a good stubble.
After a few people sat for a while, the doctor came in with a medicine box, and said to Liu Zongfang: "Lord Liu, Childe's face is fine, but it is a little swollen now, and he will be fine in a day or two, so he doesn't need to take medicine." ”
Liu Zongfang breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to ask someone to reward the doctor, but Aunt Zhou raised her handkerchief and rubbed her eyes: "My hard-working child, after I left, although I was poor, I was reluctant to let him suffer a little bit since I was a child. Now in my sister and brother-in-law, my whole face is burned and swollen, and I don't even take medicine...... Woo woo, sister, even if Zhou Qing is not your child, why don't you have your surname Zhou? It's your sister's child, even if you don't feel sorry for him, you can think about how good your sister was to you when she was a child, and give my child a way to live, okay? ”
