Chapter 028: Returning the Favor
On this day, Jin Nian stayed in Fuhuayuan until late before returning to his yard.
As soon as she entered the door, Yingge anxiously greeted her: "Miss is finally back, if I don't come back, I will have to go to Fuhuayuan to find someone!" ”
Su Jinnian was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
Yingge pulled her sleeve and whispered, "The magpie girl next to the eldest lady is here, and the young lady has been waiting for half an hour." ”
Jin Nian was surprised, the magpie was a first-class maid beside the Liu family, and it was already dark at this time and she was waiting for her to come back, but what did the Liu family have to order? But when she sent Tuyi just now, why didn't Liu tell her at that time?
Pressing the doubts in her heart, she entered the house.
The magpie was eating snacks with the cuckoo, and when she saw Jin Nian coming in, she hurriedly got up and said, "At this time, I still came to disturb Miss Six, is it a slave or a maid?" ”
Jin Nian said that it was okay, and then asked, "But what does the eldest aunt command?" ”
The magpie didn't answer, and glanced slightly at the cuckoo and the warbler.
Su Jin thought about it and told the two maids to prepare tea.
There were only the two of them left in the room, and the magpie made a statement: "The eldest lady sent me to talk to Miss Six, and Miss Six should just be chatting and listening." ”
When to make small talk on the big night? Jin Nian smiled and motioned for her to continue.
The magpie cleared his throat and asked with a smile: "A few days ago, the fourth master brought back a thin horse, does the sixth lady know about this?" ”
Jin Nian nodded, but what does this have to do with her? She waited in silence for the magpie's words.
"The thin horse was sent by Governor Yang, and the fourth master didn't dare to refuse, nor did he dare to stay by his side, so he transferred the thin horse to the second master."
"Ah..."Jin Nian was surprised, a few days ago Su Jinxiu said that someone sent a thin horse to her father, but it turned out that the person was the fourth uncle, and the source was still in Yang Zhifu!
Seeing Jin Nian's surprised appearance, the magpie nodded, and said: "Speaking of which, this thin horse was originally given to Gu Gongzi by Yang Governor's Mansion, but Gu Gongzi didn't want it, so Yang Governor's Mansion transferred it to the Fourth Master." ”
"Gu Gongzi Gu Yanyi?" Jin Nian frowned slightly, his mind changed, and he immediately thought of the banquet in Yushengju a few days ago.
Although Gu Yanyi is white, there is a grandfather behind him who is a scholar of the Yingwu Palace, and the fourth uncle was at a banquet in Yusheng that day, he is pulling the line between Yang Zhifu and Gu Yanyi, and this thin horse is the reward given by Yang Zhifu to the fourth uncle?
The magpie nodded, and said: "Yesterday, the second lady went to the old lady to say goodbye, and told the thin horse about it, and somehow, she actually said that the old lady left the thin horse to the third master......
"What?" These words were like winter thunder that made Su Jinnian's mind instantly confused, and she didn't even hear the magpie's words clearly, and it took her a while to react, and she said a little angrily: "Father is not in the mansion again, is it possible to send the thin horse to Yangzhou to my father?" ”
"Who said it wasn't, but the second lady said, let people come over to give tea to the third lady first, and it's not too late to open his face when the third master comes back during the New Year."
What a good calculation! Jin Nian sneered, the housewife drank the tea of the thin horse, that is, she admitted that the thin horse was the concubine of the third room, the second lady looked at the soft and weak person on weekdays, but she didn't expect that there was such a hand behind her!
Going around and around, this thin horse finally fell on their three heads, and she thought that the thin horse had nothing to do with her, so she didn't ask a few more words! Now it's good, people are going to come to the third room......
Jin Nian was angry and remorseful, and it took a while to calm down and ask, "Does the eldest aunt know that Governor Yang is fine, why did she send a thin horse to the Gu family's son?" "With Liu's family management skills, she must have sensed something.
"It seems to be related to the salt tax, but the specifics are unknown, after all, these are officialdom matters, and we can't ask too much."
Salt tax? Later, when my father committed a crime, wasn't it planted on the salt tax? Thinking of this, Jin Nian's hands and feet suddenly became cold, it turned out that before his father was appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou in his previous life, the arrears of salt tax had already begun to appear, and his father was guilty of others!
No wonder after getting the marriage, Gu Yanyi once said that she suggested that she persuade her father to find a way to transfer out of Yangzhou quickly, but she thought that her parents could finally be reunited, so she didn't say anything to her father! Outcome......
Jin Nian closed her eyes and didn't dare to continue to recall, God let her be reborn, not for her to regret it.
She leaned back in her chair and took a deep breath before saying, "Where is the skinny horse now?" ”
The magpie saw that her face was better, so she said softly: "It's still in the Fanghua Courtyard next to Yusheng Residence." ”
After she finished speaking, she stopped talking a little.
It's already like this, what else can't be afforded? She motioned for the magpie to say it was fine.
The magpie said a little unnaturally: "Last time in the Yang Mansion, the second lady was able to get out of danger thanks to the help of the sixth lady, and the eldest lady often said that she must thank the sixth miss in the future, today's matter, but with a gesture, please don't pass it on to the sixth lady."
Jin Nian smiled bitterly, to put it bluntly, the Liu family was able to reveal the news to her this time, for the sake of Su Jinnian saving Su Jinyan last time, it was regarded as returning her favor, and asked her not to tell her that it was the Liu family who gave her the news.
How could Jin Nian not know what was at stake, if the news that the Liu family sent to her was revealed, it would be difficult to guarantee that the eldest lady would not be brought out of the matter of eyeliner in the old lady's room.
When the magpie saw that Jinnian understood what she meant, she returned to Jinzhuyuan.
Liu asked the magpie: "Can you pass the news to Miss Six?" ”
The magpie nodded, and then asked puzzledly, "Why didn't Madame tell the news to the third lady, but told the sixth lady?" "Miss Six is also a half-grown child, knowing this news, can she still stop it?
Thinking of the shocked appearance of Jin Nian just now, the magpie shook his head in his heart.
Liu Shi smiled and said, "I see that Miss Sixth is much better than her mother...... "In the case of tinea flowers, Jin Nian is extremely safe, even if she deals with it, it may not be better than Jin Nian."
What does this say? The magpie seems to understand whether it understands or not.
Liu didn't mean to explain. She herself just had a good thought, what if Zhen Jinnian could really prevent the thin horse from entering the third room......
It's already sunset, and the lights of the mirror flower building are still on.
Yingge looked at Jin Nian, who was sitting still, worriedly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Miss, it's late, you should rest!" "A cheerful person during the day, but at this time he has a calm face and doesn't say a word, and it makes people worry when he looks at it, and he doesn't know what the magpie is looking for Miss for?
Jin Nian waved his hand and let Yingge go down.
At this moment, her heart is in a mess, one moment stuck in the past, and the other time she is thinking about how to solve the matter of the thin horse.
She has a deep sense of frustration, she has no clue about finding the murderer, but now there is an extra thin horse! After that, there may be an Aunt Jane who framed her mother with a miscarriage......
The matter of the thin horse must be solved before the old lady asks her mother to take back the third room, otherwise if something happens to the person when she comes to the third room, the dirty water will definitely be splashed on the mother's head!
But how to solve it? Jin Nian closed his eyes and pondered for a night, his mind still blank......
