The uneasiness on the face of the nurse seemed to expand a little, and after a moment of hesitation, he spread his hands.

It was a pair of hands that were not old, very clean, and the palms were white and clean, and it was obvious that the owner of this hand did not usually do rough work, and was well maintained.

"Mama's hands are so clean." Chen Ying said as if commenting.

Hua Zai's family hung her head and said respectfully: "The slave doesn't dare to be a girl's compliment." ”

Chen Ying looked at both sides and smiled: "Come, you all spread your palms and show Mama Hua." ”

When the servants heard this, they relaxed their fists and spread their palms according to the words.

Hua Zai's eyes swept away, and his heart jumped heavily.

Everyone, including Luo's mother, Xunzhen, and Zhishi, is actually reddened with both palms!

Hua Zai's family seemed a little incredulous, blinked her eyes vigorously, and even rubbed her hands a few times, and then opened her eyes to take a closer look.

That's right, everyone has red hands, but she is the only one, both hands are clean.

Hua Zai's face instantly turned pale.

"I cheated it, and sure enough, I cheated out of you, the inner ghost." Chen Ying's voice was very calm, and there was no trace of anger: "Mama Hua is smart and confused for a while, but she fell for me." ”

"The slave didn't understand what the girl meant." Hua Zai's trembling lips said, his panicked gaze swept over the red palms on both sides, and his forehead was already sweating: "Slave maid...... The slave's hands are very clean, didn't the girl say that the questioning heart can detect the truth and falsehood? The slave's hand didn't turn red at all, how could it ...... Why does the girl say what a slave is...... What inner ghost? ”

"Didn't I just say that I was cheating." Chen Ying said in a natural tone, raised his hand and stroked the jade tripod, and sighed: "In this world, where does the question of the heart come from that can test the truth and falsehood?" This is just an ordinary little jade ding, and the previous words were all made up by me temporarily. ”

Hua Zai's garden looked up in horror, and his pale face showed shock, and then turned to a blank again.

After a few breaths, she realized that she had lost her manners, and hung her head down again in a panic.

It is very rude to look directly at the master, and she, an old servant, has been infiltrated by these rules and laws in her bones.

"But...... But...... The girl just verified it in front of so many people, the girl told a lie, and the palm turned red, how could it be ......" she muttered, looking at her palm repeatedly, as if she didn't understand Chen Ying's words.

Or maybe she just wanted to struggle a little more.

Chen Ying stared at her with a very patient expression: "Presumably Mama Hua doesn't understand why your palm is so clean, but I will be called an internal ghost by me." And the rest of the people waited for the red palms to become good people. Actually, it's very simple. ”

While speaking, Chen Ying lifted the jade tripod upside down.

"Bang dang", something fell out of the ding!

Everyone was taken aback, and they all looked at the ground intently, only to see that the thing that fell out was actually a palm-sized copper color box.

Chen Ying bent down to pick up the color box, raised it so that everyone could see it, the corners of her lips moved slightly, and a smile seemed to appear: "The reason why I, and most of you, have red palms is because at the bottom of the jade tripod, there is such a clay box. ”

Hua Zai's family looked at Chen Ying in a daze, her face became more and more dazed, obviously confused.

In fact, except for Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu, the rest are unknown.

"I said three girls, what the hell is going on?" Shen once again gave full play to her curiosity about the baby's specialty, and asked the first one.

This jade tripod was personally brought out by Chen Ying from the treasury, and no one knew what she had done. And the words that several of their elders said were just following her dispatch and cooperating with her in a play, but as for the Central Plains, Shen didn't know anything about it.

Seeing her ask like this, Chen Ying bowed up slightly and said, "Grandmother, eldest aunt, third aunt, this is actually just a mental game." ”

"Mind games?" Shen immediately picked out this fresh word, and looked at Chen Ying with a strange expression: "What is this?" ”

"This so-called mental game refers to a method of verification that is set up according to the human mind under normal circumstances." Chen Ying explained, and put the color box and the jade tripod on the high table, "This jade tripod was specially selected by me, and there is a groove at the bottom of it, which is just enough to accommodate this color box." And this color box is the key to detecting truth and lies. ”

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, raised her eyes to look around at everyone, and the smile on her face gradually faded: "I think everyone must remember that I repeatedly emphasized during the verification that everyone should answer my questions with their palms firmly attached to the bottom. As long as the palm of the hand is pressed against the bottom, it will definitely be stained with the paint in the color box, and the palm will definitely turn red. ”

Speaking of this, her strange and quiet smile added a touch of interest, and she said casually: "However, there is one person who has not done this. ”

There was silence in the room.

Everyone's eyes were on the flowers in the nursery.

Chen Ying was also looking at her, with a light smile on her face, and said, "Mama Hua's palm is so clean, which shows one thing - you didn't stick your palm to the bottom of the jade tripod at all." ”

When she said these words, she tilted her head slightly, as if she remembered something interesting, and asked with a smile: "Here I would like to ask Mama Hua, why do you refuse to put your hand on the bottom of the jade tripod?" What are you afraid of? ”

Hua Zai's mouth opened open, as if she wanted to reply. However, in the next moment, her pale face was reduced little by little.

Chen Ying no longer looked at her, turned her head to look around at the servants, and the smile on her face continued to deepen: "As long as you have a clear conscience, why are you afraid of this so-called questioning heart?" I am very happy today, you are very honest. It is precisely because you have nothing to do with the matter of Wei Sheng, so you are not afraid of being tested by this so-called ice jade. And those who have ghosts in their hearts naturally dare not take this risk. ”

Hearing this, Shen finally came to his senses, and Xu on the side also nodded: "The three girls have an ingenious method. Those who are not afraid of checking the truth and falsehood will naturally dare to stick their palms under the jade tripod and reply; And the one who had a ghost in his heart, when he replied, this palm quietly hung in the air, thinking that God did not know the ghost, but he was entering the coffin. ”

"That's true." Chen Ying nodded approvingly, and said, "In the design...... When arranging this mental game, I deliberately asked two questions, which were actually taken into account. The former question is for the executor, while the latter is for the person who changes hands halfway. In my expectation, this kind of thing will most of the time to turn a few hands in the middle, so it is likely that there is more than one inner ghost. It's just that I didn't expect that Mama Hua was actually her own hand, which really saved me trouble. ”
