Chapter 15 The soldiers are coming
"Miss, Miss, wake up!" Lian'er shook Jiang Jiang vigorously, and her strength became stronger and stronger.
"Huh?" Jiang Jiang slept soundly, and was very unhappy to be shaken: "What's wrong with you girl?" Still don't let people sleep? I'll have to be busy in a while! β
"Miss, don't fall asleep! I have something big to tell you! Lian'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"What's the matter? Don't worry, speak slowly. Jiang Jiang rubbed his eyes and sat up, but he still couldn't help but yawn loudly.
"Just now, the official media Zhao's mother is here again." Lian'er whispered.
"Oh? What did she come to do? Jiang Jiang had a very bad impression of this Mother Zhao, thinking of her long face covered with white powder, he responded in his heart: "Isn't it a plan to let me go to Chongxi again?" β
"It's much more scary than Chong Xi," Lian'er said: "Mother Zhao said that the son of the new Qiu County Commander died on the way, and she came to discuss with the eldest grandmother and wanted you to marry Qiu Gongzi!" β
"What?!" Jiang Jiang's eyes widened suddenly: "Tell me to marry a dead man?!" β
"Miss, be quiet!" Lian'er hurriedly covered Jiang Jiang's mouth and looked out of the window in fear.
Jiang Jiang lowered his voice and asked Lian'er: "Grandma agreed?" β
"Don't you agree! They also discussed how to kill the young lady and pretend to be sick to death. Then he was carried to be buried with Qiu County's son. In this way, the uncle can be promoted to filial piety. Lian'er told Jiang Jiang everything she heard.
"Oh! So that's the case," Jiang Jiang nodded after hearing it and said, "This Mother Zhao is really tired of being alive, and the eldest grandmother is also disgusted with life, I really underestimated her before." β
She originally felt that although Hu was a little mean, as a woman, her husband was incompetent, and it was inevitable that her mentality would be a little unbalanced, which was understandable.
But who knew that he was going to kill himself now, and this problem would be serious.
At this time, Lian'er, who was silent on the side, suddenly made up her mind and said to Jiang Jiang: "Miss, you don't have to worry, there is still me!" β
Jiang Jiang looked at her with a determined look on her face, and said, "What are you going to do?" β
Lian'er shook her head and said, "It's nothing, Miss just don't worry." β
Jiang Jiang flicked it on her forehead and said, "Don't think that if you don't say it, I don't know, are you thinking of dying for me?" β
Lian'er looked at Jiang Jiang in surprise and said, "Miss, how do you know?" β
"I don't know you yet?" Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "Stupid and dead-eyed." β
Lian'er was embarrassed by Jiang Jiang's words, but she still said bravely: "Miss, I've really thought about it." When the eldest grandmother poisons you, I will die for you, and then you go to the official, and the government will naturally come to investigate, and it will find out that the eldest grandmother wants to kill you, and then marry you. In this case, the grandmother will be punished and you will be safe. β
"Slave maid, I am a cheap life, as long as the young lady can take care of my mother and brother in the future, I will be content under the spring."
"Stupid! Is it enough to commit a dead person for such a small thing?! Jiang Jiang said to Lian'er angrily and with a smile: "The next step is just for the two of us shrews to move out of this house in a hurry, is it worth sacrificing our lives?" β
"But Missβ" Lian'er wanted to say something more.
"There's nothing to do," Jiang Jiang Zhengse said to her: "Lian'er, remember, no matter what happens in the future, don't think about dying." Death is the most incompetent manifestation of life, and it is only meaningful to live if you live. β
Lian'er looked at Jiang Jiang, although she didn't seem to understand Jiang Jiang's words, she was really grateful to Miss for not letting her sacrifice and save her life, she was really with the right person.
"Alright, I'm going to do business in a moment! Hurry up and lie down and sleep! Jiang Jiang said to Lian'er.
But Lian'er couldn't sleep anyway, when she thought that the eldest grandmother was going to kill the young lady, and in the past few days, her heart was always beating and couldn't calm down.
Looking at Jiang Jiang over there, he was already asleep again quickly.
"Hey, Miss's heart is really big." Lian'er thought to herself.
Later in the night, the master and servant slipped out again to do business, and everything was as usual.
When the business ended, Jiang Jiang beckoned the beggars to come over and eat noodles. This time everyone was a big bowl of seafood fried noodles.
After eating the noodles, Jiang Jiang stood up and made a gesture to these beggars and said, "The villain has a reluctance and wants everyone to help. β
These people have been eating noodles for free in front of Jiang Jiang's noodle stall for two months, and they are all familiar with her, and they think she is very kind and righteous.
It's a pity that he has never had the opportunity to repay his personal favor, but now when he heard Jiang Jiang say this, he was very enthusiastic and said: "If there is anything to say, if we can help, we will never refuse!" β
Jiang Jiang also saw that although these beggars were poor, they had a sense of righteousness, and now at this time, he turned to them for help.
Sure enough, as soon as I opened my mouth, I agreed.
"I want to bother everyone to help me keep an eye on a few people from now on, namely the official media Zhao's mother, and the eldest lady of Jiang Yaozu's family, as well as her two maids and a mother-in-law."
"You can go to the door of the tailor's shop in Huazhi Lane every two hours and connect with a woman in pink wearing a hood, and tell her what you see and hear." Jiang Jiang explained everything clearly.
When the beggars heard this, they said, "This is easy to do, we have idle time, and it is easiest to watch people on the street." Not to mention a person, even a fly can't make it fly out of this Baixian County, don't worry! β
Jiang Jiang clenched his fists again and said, "Then there will be a lot of thanks, and there will be heavy thanks after the matter is completed." β
Jiang Jiang has arranged to collect the stall and go home.
After waking up, he asked Lian'er to buy a pug on the street, saying that he was buying it for fun.
After that, as usual, they ate and drank, talked and laughed, or did some needlework, and there was nothing unusual at all.
Here, Grandma Jiang has already discussed with Zhao's mother, and Jiang Jiang's life will be necessary within three days.
Because if the time is too long, the son of Qiu Zhixian will be buried.
They didn't want to miss out on this opportunity.
As for Lian'er, every two hours, she changed into pink clothes, put on a bib and went out, pretending to go shopping, but in fact she met with those beggars.
In the morning, Zhao's mother came out of the house to Granny Liu's tea shed to drink tea, and soon after, Xifeng, the maid of the Jiang family, also came to the tea shed to buy tea.
After chatting with her for a few words, Zhao's mother quietly handed her a bag of things.
After that, Zhao's mother went to say goodbye to a family and had lunch at that house.
Xifeng bought lotus seeds again, and then returned to Jiang's house the same way, and did not go out again.
"Miss, the bag that Mother Zhao gave to Xifeng must be poison." Lian'er said to Jiang Jiang.
"It should be," Jiang Jiang nodded when he heard this, poisoning was the most common method of harm used by women in ancient times.
For example, Wang Po and Pan Jinlian.
Didn't Sun Erniang also use sweat medicine to kill people and sell goods?
