Su He was startled, and he already found that he had missed his mouth, worried and afraid, pursed his lips, and looked at the eyes of the pityan worriedly, "Actually, we privately discussed the origin of Lilac and the second lady, and Lilac is also so beautiful, if we do it, we must have chosen Lilac as Mrs." ”
The pity Zheng steadied herself, and the words were written down, but she didn't hear the words on her face, pretending to be a joke, raising her eyebrows to look at her, and smiling seriously on her face: "If you want to replace me, I must marry Suhe to fill the house." ”
Su He was stunned for a moment, but didn't react: "Why me?" I'm just an ordinary maid. ”
Pian Zheng laughed: "Because Su He is talking about whether to marry or not, whether to marry or not, but I have the meaning of wanting to marry in my heart!" If Su He wants to marry me and change me as a man, then I must be willing to marry, such a pitiful and lovely son, I must marry early. ”
"You tried to trick me again, and I won't tell you." Su He pondered for a while, and felt relieved, but he was ashamed and annoyed.
Soho's age looks like he is no more than twelve or thirteen years old, but he is still a child. But he spoke so carefully, it seems that he is bullied in the house on weekdays, and he always has a long memory.
After a few rounds, I walked to the inner courtyard of the maid. Su He lives in a room with another girl, and the furnishings in the room are simple, with two beds, tables and stools, and other living utensils.
After finding a place to sit down, Soho walked to the edge of her bed and picked up a bamboo basket from the pillow, looking like she was doing some manual work.
"What do you all do?" Pian Zheng carefully looked at the furnishings in the room, and there were hairpins on the side of the other maid's bed, and Su He was simple and pure, and there was nothing. She turned around and asked, "I didn't see you have a box of rouge either." ”
"Su Ri has so much spare time, I have to clean and chop firewood in the kitchen every day, and I can't see it even if I apply rouge, so I might as well go back to the room to collect the soles of my shoes." Su He smiled, and the work in his hands did not stop.
"Na soles?" It was a chaotic look around, but suddenly his eyes fell on Su He's hand. Su He's kung fu was delicate, but it was a little slow, she frowned: "Su He, can you let me see the patterns on the soles of your shoes?" It's not quite like what others do. ”
"This is a few months ago, I learned from Green Sleeves, but I didn't learn as well as Green Sleeves, and my hands were a little clumsy, so I had fewer tricks and a few short stitches, but I had my own tricks." Soho turned the soles of the shoes he was holding in his palms over and sent them to the kite.
"You see, isn't this pattern quite unique? If I hadn't missed a few stitches myself, I wouldn't have come up with such a fun trick. ”
The pattern of the sole is a dotted wavy spiral, missing some patterns, resulting in the spiral will be interrupted when the interval is symmetrical, and it will be connected into a piece, but it has become a unique pattern.
The pattern on the sole is exactly the same as the one they've been looking for!
Lian Zheng looked at her quietly, and quipped: "Suhe, haven't you already made several pairs and sent them to each other." ”
"What did you say?" Su He blushed and coughed quietly, thinking that the pity was making fun of her again, "Until now, I have embroidered a pair of soles in total, and they are particularly ugly, and I was going to throw them away, but fortunately, Wang Ma did not dislike it, so I gave it to Wang Ma to wear." ”
"Suho." Pian Zheng turned her face to look at her and smiled: "Is Wang Ma the cook who gave the wrong mung bean cake to the cloves that day?" ”
"Yes, that day is ......" Su He stopped the needle and thread in his hand, suddenly looked up and looked carefully at the eyebrows and eyes of the kite, opened his mouth, but could not say anything more.
Pian Zheng looked at her, and she had the answer in her heart.

Feng Yin sat on the stone bench outside the kitchen, watching Lin Zhutou separate a few people to ask one by one, but the manpower was still not enough, so he sent a few people to the team and stood aside to wait.
Zhang Zhu quickly looked for someone, and went to rummage through the kitchen waste to find the dishes that Master He had thrown out, but they were all mixed up, and it was naturally impossible to distinguish them separately with silverware. Several people rummaged through the kitchen to see if arsenic was hidden.
Among the few people who fell behind in the team, there was a cook lady who looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Feng Yin suddenly lost a little energy, sat up straight, and silently looked at the person in front of him.
About forty years old, the clothes are simple, and the figure is indeed seen, and I have seen it in the inn!
"Mother Wang." After Lin Zhutou asked the person in his hand, he turned his head and interrogated the woman who Feng Yin was staring at carefully: "I heard that you have not been in the mansion for a long time, but you are diligent and neat in your work, do you know Li Erhu in the second lady's courtyard?" ”
Wang Ma nodded, unhurried: "Yes, he came to the kitchen to get wine." ”
When Lin Zhutou heard this, he frowned and shook his head vigorously to look at the unfamiliar maids, "What are the contradictions between Li Erhu, Steward Chen and the second lady, do you know?" ”
"Our subordinates usually do what they should do, and if they chew the root of their tongues, the housekeeper will definitely punish them. The old woman doesn't like to listen to these gossip, so she doesn't know much. Wang Ma didn't dare to be perfunctory, but spoke carefully.
Feng Yin put aside his sleeves and raised his eyes to look at her: "Has the housekeeper used Shaoxing wine when he came to fetch it?" ”
Wang Ma looked at the wind and calmed down, "I took it in the afternoon a few days ago." ”
"Just once? How many have you taken? Feng Yin turned his head to look at the kitchen and shouted at Zhang Zhukuai: "Zhang Zhukuai, how much Shaoxing rice wine is in the kitchen?" ”
Wang Ma said lightly: "I haven't remembered this." ”
"If anyone takes wine and does not keep it, who will settle the accounts at the account office? Wang Ma is not as diligent and neat as Lin Zhutou said. Feng Yin got up casually, walked towards Lin Zhutou, and said lightly as he walked: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have put the wine bottle in the inn, and I knew how to pretend to be a guy and sneak into the inn." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about." Wang Ma stood with her head bowed, neither dodging nor avoiding.
Everyone was silent, and all eyes were focused on Wang Ma's body.
"Who asked the housekeeper to buy the Shaoxing wine in the kitchen?" Feng Yin glanced around unhurriedly, and several maids lowered their heads one after another, "I think I never used Shaoxing rice wine before, and there is naturally a reason for it to suddenly change." ”
"We can only listen to the explanation from above, and we don't have the right to call the shots, can this also make people suspected of murder suspects for no reason?" Wang Ma raised her head, her clear eyes were smiling, and she didn't look uneasy.
Feng Yin glanced at Lin Zhutou, and Lin Zhutou was the first to break the silence: "Where are you when the day before yesterday was in the time of Shen Shi?" ”
Wang's mother paused and said, "I went out to buy vegetables." ”
Lin Zhutou looked at the people around him, "Which of them has been with you all the way, can they testify for you?" ”
"No one in the house can testify for me, I went out of the house to buy vegetables alone." Wang's mother showed a helpless expression: "Or you can also ask those vegetable sellers in the vegetable market, I have indeed gone to buy vegetables, and they have also seen me." ”
Everyone looked at Lin Zhutou suspiciously, and Feng Yin suddenly opened his mouth: "Could it be that you can still go to the vegetable market in the east of the city?" ”
Mother Wang opened her mouth, but before she could answer, Lin Zhutou had already understood the meaning of Feng Yin, and said: "If it is a vegetable market in the west of the city, it is less than half a pillar of incense from Li Erhu's inn, when did you come back?" ”
Chef Uncle Zhang suddenly remembered: "Mother Wang just came back, because the kitchen did not have enough dishes, but she was unable to buy the dishes back, delaying the time, fortunately, the lord and the wife went to the restaurant to set up a banquet to entertain the guests, so they were not held responsible." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Ma's body.
