Two hundred and sixty-eight: dried apricots
When the court was in chaos, Su Yunyao had some free time, no, she went to the Gu family with a few other sisters.
Su Jingyao saw that the month was getting bigger, and she didn't hurt her mouth much before, but now it's different, morning sickness is neither strong nor weak, and she likes to eat heavy food.
She loves to eat spicy and fragrant dishes, she also loves to eat pickled cabbage in the south, and several times she suspects that others are not sour enough, Zhu Shi was happy to see that she wanted to eat sour, and ordered someone to buy the most sour dried apricots in the dim sum shop, but although this thing can give Zhu Shi sour, it will not make Su Jingyao feel sour.
This sour and spicy others couldn't stand it, and Zhu was dizzy, unable to figure out whether this baby was a boy or girl.
Gu Xiangyi talked about her brother all day long, but it wasn't that the Zhu family taught her badly, it was really that little girl who was very naughty, the little girl from the neighbor's house playing with her was just turning over the flower rope, she didn't feel like it, she had to ask Su Jingyao to give her a younger brother, and when the younger brother was older, she would play with her later.
Su Moyao and Su Jinyao tasted a piece of dried sour apricots alone, one of their sour eyes couldn't be opened, and the other cried directly.
Su Jingyao also thought that the two of them were teasing her, and picked up a piece of dried apricots and put it in her mouth, "How can it be so exaggerated?" I'm fine eating. ”
"What a good! This thing is sour, I have my teeth sour, don't use this thing to harm me in the future! Su Moyao ate a piece of pear as she spoke, but the smell still made her feel palpitated.
Su Jinyao wiped her tears and said, "I didn't expect to have to eat such a sour thing while pregnant, it's too terrible!" ”
She was originally afraid of giving birth to a child, but now she is even more afraid.
"It's not that serious, when you have it in the future, you won't feel that this thing is sour, and when you are pregnant, the mouth is often tasteless and bitter, and many times you still think about it!"
Su Jinyao looked at the plate of dried sour apricots and shook her head, feeling that she couldn't accept it no matter what.
Seeing that the facial features of the two sisters had changed, Su Wanyao was also a little eager to try, but she learned smartly this time, picked up a small piece of dried apricots and soaked them in water, and when the sourness dissipated a little, she even ate the dried apricots with water, it was really not so sour.
"Look at us Wan'er, she's still smart!" Su Jingyao said praisefully.
"By the way, second sister, how is the second brother-in-law treating you these days?" Su Yunyao asked Su Jingyao in a low voice.
Su Jingyao looked up at the door, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was very strong, "Okay, let's be fine, the widow didn't come to make trouble again, I heard that it was her mother-in-law who saw her, and almost started to do it, threatening that if she came to disturb our lives, she would be killed even if she went to prison, and then she really didn't dare." ”
Saying this, Su Yunyao was quite relieved.
"The fourth sister's child has really changed after the full moon, and now the older it gets, the less it looks like when it was just born, and it is said that the child will change when he is not careful, and it seems that what he said is true." Su Jinyao couldn't help but sigh.
"How many days have you seen Xi'er?"
Su Moyao said, "The ninth sister and the twelfth sister-sister were bored at home, so they went to the fourth sister-in-law's house for a walk, and by the way, I looked at Xiao Xi'er, now the child is very smart, the two eyes are like purple grapes, and the eyelashes are like small fans, not to mention how rare it is!" ”
"Yes, the fourth brother-in-law is good-looking, his eyes are big and his eyelashes are long, and your four sisters are not bad, the child will grow up, and he will follow the strengths of others."
"Xi'er will turn over now, a while a good spirit, I held her in the yard for a while to bask in the sun, she has not slept!" Su Jinyao said.
"Don't mention it, as soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I met the third sister." Su Wanyao's tone was a little helpless.
"What's wrong with the third sister-sister?" Su Jingyao was puzzled.
Su Wanyao couldn't say anything about this, and Su Jinyao was also a little embarrassed to talk about it, but Su Moyao said generously, "What's the matter, I'm going to trouble the fourth sister all day long!" The two of them married into the same family, that is, water and fire are incompatible, as soon as the third sister is free, she goes to block the fourth sister, but the fourth sister is not angry, she is sent away in a few words, and every time she leaves from the fourth sister angrily. ”
Su Jingyao couldn't help laughing, "Your fourth sister was all influenced by you when she was a child, and her mouth was so poisonous when she spoke, it was like smearing the red of the crane's top!" ”
"Second sister, how do you arrange me? It's a shame that I want to tell you to relieve your boredom! ”
As he was talking, Gu Jiangpeng came back from outside, and after greeting a few Yao, he didn't say a word.
Everyone understands that he is embarrassed, he has done such a disgraceful thing and has been known by a few unmarried girls, who can be embarrassed to talk about the world? Besides, he didn't talk much.
After leaving the Gu family, a few girls went to Xianwei Zhai to eat, and then returned to Su's house.
"Girl, there is a letter about the magpie." Zhao's mother reminded Su Yunyao in a whisper.
"Go in and say."
Liuyuan and Huaixiang entered the main house and truthfully returned the inquiry to Su Yunyao.
"Didn't you find out last time that the magpie and those two who watched her used tea on Huoqing Road? The slave sent someone to the tea shop and squatted for two days, but the clue was really squatted. ”
"What clues?"
"After the tea shop closed last night, the boss rushed to the house outside the city with a big bag full of food, and after a while, the boss came out, and the things in his hand were empty, this is not important, the important thing is that Chen Xian went again and took away a lot of things! Among them, there is the kind of pastries that Chen Xian often buys, the slave maid checked with the sixth young lady, Chen Xian has not gone to the shop to buy snacks in the past few days, and the boss brought him enough co-authors. ”
"So, the pantry is a place for those snakeheads? At the same time, the boss there also delivers supplies and food to other people? ”
"Yes!" Liuwan continued, "The last time the magpie used tea there, it didn't look like anything on the surface, but in fact, the boss took the note in her hand, and then a few days later, there was a broken cabinet in the yard of the second lady. ”
Cao Qianlian then puts the snakehead in the yard and uses the broken cabinet as a cover for Fluttershy to meet the man, and then Su Yunyao meets him.
It's really better to be in a hurry.
The front and back are basically cleared, and then the main thing is to collect evidence.
At present, it is a fact that Cao Qianlian has a relationship with the snakehead, and it is ironclad evidence, and Su Yao has already believed in Su Yunyao, but now that King Heng is here, Cao Qianlian cannot be moved for the time being.
Su Yunyao looked at the flickering candle flame, and was thinking about it in her heart.
"Huaixiang, go to Yingxia House to find Fluttershy, so that she can come to see me at the rockery next to Tingning Xuan."
"Yes, girl."
That night, Fluttershy sneaks out of Yingxia Residence, not even daring to turn on the lantern, and waits at the rockery for a while, only to see Su Yunyao and Lisheng hurrying over.
Su Yunyao was wearing a thin cloak of willow buds, the wind was cold and dewy in autumn, no matter how warm it was during the day, it was very cold at night.
"Eleventh girl, what you promised the slave last time..."Fluttershy met Su Yunyao's face, and the first sentence was this.
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you." Su Yunyao said as she helped Lisheng to sit on the stone bench next to the rockery.
Fluttershy lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "But the second lady mentioned that the slave and maid should marry again, but the slave and the maid did not want to, she actually beat the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid can't live a day like this..."
"But if you want her to know that you have something to do with me, do you think she'll keep you?" Su Yunyao asked unceremoniously, "Now if I let my mother choose a marriage for you, it is not impossible, but I am afraid that the Cao family will suspect you, I will lose a bargaining chip, not to mention, your own life is also a matter of importance, I will break these up and crush them to tell you, I hope you understand." ”
"Yes, slave and maid understand..."
"The day after tomorrow, I will ask my mother to arrange a family affair for you, but after you get married, you will stay in Yingxiaju to serve, the Cao family has a lot of opinions about you, it is inevitable that they will scold and doubt, are you willing to continue to do things for me?"
"Naturally, I am willing, as long as you can save the slave and maid from the sea of suffering, the slave and maid can do anything."
Su Yunyao showed a hint of a smile and only said, "You are a smart person." ”
"Girl, what are you doing with the slave today?"
"Do you know this person?" Su Yunyao shows Fluttershy the portrait of the owner of the tea shop.
Fluttershy scrutinizes it, then shakes her head, "I don't know the slave, but I think I've seen it somewhere." ”
"But the hustle and bustle road in the east of the city?" Lisheng asked.
"Yes, yes, it's Huoqing Road, the slave and maid remembered, when she used to accompany the seventh girl to go out to buy fat powder, she often went to the tea shop to eat tea, and he was the boss there!"
"Seventh Sister is also related to him?" Su Yunyao asked rhetorically.
She didn't expect Su Huiyao to have an inexplicable relationship with the snakehead.
"The slave and maid don't know, and the seven girls don't say anything to the slave and maid every time, so I know that the seven girls bring silver jewelry or something every time they go, where do you need so much money to eat a pot of tea? Although the slave maid was suspicious, she didn't dare to ask, but when the slave and maid heard the second lady and the seventh girl talking, she mentioned that it was easy to do things if you gave money to others. ”
"In other words, my good sister and the second lady of your family, who took some silver jewelry to find a snake head to get rid of my fifth sister for them?" When she said this, Su Yunyao's tone was full of sadness.
Fluttershy nodded, then shook her head again, "It seems that there is more than the fifth girl, the seventh girl has been there many times, the second lady has more, she doesn't go out of the house often, so it is usually outsiders who come in, and the slave maid has also seen a man with a scar on his face enter the courtyard of Yingxia Residence." ”
"Scarred?" Su Yunyao sat up straight, "Are you sure you have a scar on your face?" ”
"It will never be wrong, because the slave maid had a bad stomach that day, and when he went to the thatched house, he was startled when he saw him enter the yard, so he was very impressed, and he also told the slave and maid that he dared to speak out and pulled out the slave's tongue."
Su Yunyao was a little distracted, and now she realized that the reason why the Cao family had stood tall in the Su family for many years was that Zhenzhen'er was a skillful person.
