Chapter 324: Choosing Wood

As soon as the sky was bright, Gan Peilin got up and put on makeup.

On weekdays, there are crispy cores and Liulan waiting on their side, but today they have to make up themselves.

She tied her hair in a bun, but she couldn't touch the hairpin placed at hand. I wonder what's going on.

Jiang Yu had already gently pinned the hairpin to her sideburns.

"I'm not in the house these days, you let the swallow take good care of my little cutie." Gan Peilin was a little worried about his cat. "I don't know if it will remember me when I come back."

"I'm going to send you back to Xu's Mansion soon. You don't care about me? Jiang Yu put his arms on her, his cheek against the side of her face, and said softly: "I am reluctant to let you go." ”

"......" Gan Peilin felt that he was a bit like a kitten, clinging to her, giggling.

"Master." Through the door, Lu Yao said helplessly: "The third aunt and wife have sent a lot of breakfast, please enjoy it." ”

"Isn't she sick?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Let her go back and rest." ”

"The third aunt said that the person who poisoned her had been found." Lu Yao also hopes to return justice to his wife as soon as possible. In this way, the master doesn't have to be so sneaky when he meets her.

Jiang Yu sighed.

Gan Peilin had almost no expression.

Lu Yao waited for a moment and didn't hear a response, and then said, "That subordinate asked the third aunt and wife to go back and rest first." ”

"She wants to get justice for herself, and you can't help it." Gan Peilin said gently.

"That's fine." Jiang Yu frowned and glanced at the inner room: "You go in and sit and listen." ”

"Hmm." Gan Peilin nodded.

Usually in the inner room of this bedroom, Jiang Yu occasionally sits and drinks tea. The place is not small, but it is not easy for people to get in. When he thinks about things, he is used to being alone. So since getting married and moving to the house, even Gan Peilin has walked into this inner room for the first time.

Then, Jiang Yu called Lu Yao. "Let her in."

"Yes." Lu Yao turned around and invited Cuiyun.

Cuiyun walked in quickly, followed by Inzi. "Master."

She curts, in the end, respectfully and submissively. "The concubine knows that you still have to go to court, so she doesn't dare to delay for too long. To make a long story short, such a thing was found by the slave's side in a deserted courtyard in the middle of the house. ”

Inzi presented the things and asked Jiang Yu to look at them.

Jiang Yu frowned and took the paper bag and sniffed it gently. "What is this?"

"It's a fragrant material that clashes with the medicine taken by the concubine." Cuiyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "This kind of thing is mixed into the incense used by the concubine every day." That is, the kind of spice that is often used to incense the clothes of the master. At that time, when he smoked the master's clothes, he did not notice anything unusual. But after using it again in the past few days, the concubine found that the aroma on her clothes was wrong. Touching the melon along the vine, he found out that it was a maid under his hand who received other people's silver and used his hands and feet. ”

Cuiyun glanced out.

Lu Yao allowed the little guy outside to bring people in.

The servant didn't have any scars on her body, but kept crying with her head down.

"Don't cry early in the morning and touch your head." Cuiyun said coldly: "What you have done yourself, just tell the truth." Otherwise, I will ask my master for permission, sell you directly to the secret door, sign the death deed, and don't think that you can only get out one day. ”

"The master spares the slave and the maid." The servant wept pitifully, and pulled out a note from her waist. "I don't know how this thing was seen by the slave maid, and there is a silver ingot. He said that if the slave and maid mixed a powder into the spice for smoking clothes, they would get another ingot of silver tomorrow. Day after day, three days in succession, the slave and maid did so, and took four minas of silver. The paper also specially instructed that after burning, the ashes must be seen and buried, so that no one can find out. ”

Cuiyun continued: "The concubine body has been checked, and the paper used to write this note is an excellent tribute. It's the one you've always used, master. But these things generally do not fall into the hands of the ladies in the house. Except for the ...... who once served your pen and ink Apricot. ”

Without waiting for Jiang Yu to speak, Cuiyun continued: "Although Xinghua once served the master's pen and ink. But the second aunt's wife, who was in charge of procurement in the house, and his wife, all had the opportunity to come into contact with such a tribute. Inevitably suspecting the wrong object, the concubine also asked the people around her to go around the imperial city to look for this spice. Finally found a store that was sold a few days ago. Portraits were shown to them. Recognized that it was the maid next to Xinghua, who had bought it because of dyeing. ”

Jiang Yu understood, and turned to look at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao immediately understood, and ordered someone to take the apricot blossom and the dye.

Inside, Gan Peilin listened to Cuiyun's words and was silent. She wondered what Cuiyun's expression was now. Chu Chu is pitiful, or is it bright with anger, or is it like huddled in Jiang Yu's arms that day, crying to show weakness and win pity?

"If you find out the matter, you will be fair." Jiang Yu said.

"Thank you, master." When Cuiyun saluted him, tears welled up in her eyes. The slave suspect that Xinghua also bought Lang Zhong who treated the concubine. That's why Lang Zhong will open such a recipe to make the concubine suffer. But there is really no evidence for this. It's just that...... Mixing medicinal soup with spices, such a yin trick, I'm afraid it's not just the love of the master. More of it, I'm afraid I'm going to ...... for my wife."

Cuiyun bowed down respectfully and said to Jiang Yu: "If there is no promotion from the lady, the concubine is not qualified to serve the master and the lady in a prestigious position." Mrs. is gracious, and the concubine body is remembered in her heart and never forgotten. It's even more annoying that these people shamelessly blame. I also asked the master to investigate the matter thoroughly and give justice to the lady. ”

Jiang Yu nodded, listening to what she said impassionedly, but he didn't know how the person in the room felt when he heard it. "I have my own opinions."

"Master." Cuiyun saluted with a heavy face: "Please investigate this matter thoroughly and bring Mrs. back as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, she respectfully exited the room, turned around and walked away quickly.

Inzi hurriedly followed her, and didn't dare to ask in a low voice until she walked out of the courtyard. "Why does the master want to speak for Madame? You were sick before, and your master had a quarrel with your wife in your room. So many people saw it. At this time, the lady didn't know how to make a fire in her heart. If you let her come back, won't you have to suffer......"

Cuiyun gently hooked her lips and smiled brightly. She looked up and saw a delicate and bright flower on a nearby branch, smiling.

"Madame is by no means such a frivolous woman that she can only be jealous. She must have understood my good intentions. Cuiyun raised her head slightly: "Because of it, do the math, I have been serving my master for some years." I was sent to Jiang's Mansion since I was seven or eight years old. Over the years, I have never received the respect I deserve. The only person who lifted me up was my wife. ”

"Madame, what do you mean......" Inzi not only understood, but also seemed to understand everything.

"There's no way I'm going to be the woman who dominates my master." Cuiyun smiled faintly: "Although I will have a lot, they are all the work of serving people." What the master needs is someone who can walk side by side with her. This person can only be a lady. What's more, the master has never forgotten his wife in his heart. ”

Cuiyun has a secret that she never tells anyone else. That's her nose, very sensitive. The scent in the inner room was not at all usable for the maidservants who had just been picked in to serve them. It was clearly the smell of Madame's homemade spices.

In other words, the master and his wife are angry, and they are simply doing it for others to see.

Since the master can't let go of her, why can't he bend his knees to her and surrender to her.

"Inzi, you also want to be like me, and think for your wife wholeheartedly." Cuiyun took a deep breath and said calmly: "Good birds choose trees to perch. In the future, whether we will rise to the top, eat meat and drink soup, or be reduced to a ladder for others to trample on, it depends on which path we choose. ”

"The slave and maid understand." Inzi nodded again and again: "The slave must listen to Mrs. Auntie's words carefully, and I want Mrs. to be loyal." ”

Cuiyun hooked her lips and smiled.

"What do you think?" In the inner room, Jiang Yu took Gan Peilin's hand and asked.

"He's smart, and he knows the times." Gan Peilin said.

"Then do you want to give her this decency?" Jiang Yu asked.

"You are the master of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, shouldn't you decide these things?" Gan Peilin threw the question back to him.

"The back house is your territory." Jiang Yu pinched the tip of her nose. "It's good for smart people to stay around. But the foundation of this understanding must be faithfulness. ”

"Yes." Gan Peilin agreed.

"It's up to you." Jiang Yu held her hand and said reluctantly, "I'll go to the court." Lu Yao personally sent you to Xufu. ”

"Hmm." Gan Peilin saluted him, smiling with intimacy.

"What's back?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Wait until you take care of this." Gan Peilin is not only referring to the affairs of the palace, but also the affairs of the palace.

"Okay." Jiang Yu nodded, and then left.

Only then did Lu Yao escort Gan Peilin to leave from Jiang Yu's courtyard, a side door.

And so it was noon.

Everything was normal in the Governor's Palace, and no one noticed anything unusual.

At this time, Xinghua also accompanied Ao Li to count the materials in the warehouse. She took a batch of red silk and put it on herself for a gesture, and couldn't help sighing. "It is said that women should be pretty, filial piety, and I always thought that I looked good in white. But looking at it now, red is the orthodox wealth and nature. If you can make such a dress, you will definitely be able to attract the attention of others. ”

"That's nature." Ao Li sneered: "It's a pity not to say it's you, even I am not qualified to enjoy this color." You have to be a genuine lady, a wife with status, an orthodox princess, and a queen to be eligible. And the first three are not allowed to be worn with the queen. You, just die of this heart before it's too late. ”

"It's okay if I can't wear it, but Sister Ao, you should be able to." Xinghua said indignantly: "Everyone knows that when the governor of the capital married you, he said that he would invite you to the house. ”

"Don't talk about it." Ao Li frowned and scolded: "Up and down the mansion, it is strictly forbidden to mention this matter. How dare you say it so easily. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Xinghua pouted angrily: "Isn't she just a lady, she's not here." ”

"She's not there or not, too arrogant and doesn't know how to be humble, it's not a good thing for you." Ao Li stiffened his face and said, "I don't want to be dragged into such a right and wrong by you." You'd better be cautious and do what you want. ”

Xinghua rolled her eyes and said softly: "What Sister Ao said is that the slave maid remembers." ”

Ao Li didn't say anything more, but she always felt that this apricot blossom was afraid that she was going to be unlucky!
