Chapter 233: Clear-mindedness
Chen Ying was also staring at Mingxin.
After meeting several times before, her general impression of Mingxin was that this was an ancient leftover girl who was twenty-five years old or older.
However, seeing her again today, she felt that Mingxin seemed to have become younger, and she looked like she was in her twenties.
"Miss Chen, please sit inside, there are people coming and going outside, it's better to be quiet in the house." Mingxin invited each other again, and the polite words were very smooth, and at a glance, he knew that he was often walking around the scene, which was different from the big girl who didn't like to speak in Chen Ying's memory.
Thinking about it in her heart, Chen Ying raised her hand and lifted the fence, and her expression was as calm as ever: "In this case, then Miss Lao Mingxin will lead the way." ”
"The girl has broken her daughter, please come here." Mingxin bowed slightly to lead the way, and everyone followed her to the backyard.
The store of Xiangyunzhai in Jinan Prefecture is smaller than that of Penglai County, but the pattern of the two is very similar, both are two courtyards behind the store, and Guo Wanping lives and sits in the last courtyard.
When everyone entered the courtyard, they saw that the pines and cypresses in the courtyard were verdant, the stone paths were winding, and there was a lonely scene in the fine snow.
Mingjian is also very elegantly cleaned, there is a high table in front of the pane, and a few bottles of plums are blooming, but they are not ordinary red plums, but a wax plum.
"Our grandmother loved these flowers in the winter." Seeing Chen Yinggu staring at the flower, Mingxin said with a smile.
Chen Ying nodded, sat down on the side of the desk, Mingxin personally served fragrant tea, and Xiao Yan brought two plum blossom boxes, which contained some snacks such as preserved dried fruits, Mingxin smiled and said: "The place is simpler, the third girl will sit down." ”
Seeing that her behavior was extraordinary, Chen Ying's heart moved, and she asked, "Should I call Miss Mingxin in charge?" ”
When Mingxin heard this, he was stunned, then laughed, covered his lips and said, "Where is the matter?" The third girl is too uplifting. The maid is just a maid now. ”
That being said, her next move surprised everyone.
Because, not long after sitting down, Mingxin took out a stack of account books.
"Our grandmother said that the girl was afraid that she would have to look at the account, so the maid brought it all the past few months." As Mingxin spoke, his face was a little ashamed, and he said: "The maid doesn't know much about the accounts, so the girl will look at which one is." ”
Chen Ying's face was calm, but she was really surprised in her heart.
It's only been more than a month, and Guo Wan actually handed over all the account books to Mingxin for safekeeping, how much trust does this have?
What about green ripples and red incense?
Chen Ying clearly remembered that those two were Guo Wan's henchmen, and now that Mingxin is even in charge of these big things, what are those two maids doing?
Absentmindedly glancing at the account book, Chen Ying put it aside.
She didn't understand the ancient way of keeping accounts, it was just a general meaning, and these accounts had little to do with her, Guo Wan asked Mingxin to take it out, probably just wanted to express a trusting attitude.
The next thing is to sit and eat dim sum, Chen Ying occasionally talks to Luo's mother, the fragrant tea continues one by one, and the dim sum has been changed several times, but Guo Wan has never appeared.
Chen Ying was very patient and only sat quietly, but she was afraid that she would be bored, so she chatted with her.
Surprisingly, this Mingxin is actually very talkative. She seems to have read a lot of books, knows a lot, and has a very broad horizon, and she can also talk about the people in various parts of Dachu, and she chatted with Chen Ying very openly.
The two of them were talking, and the topic turned to the customs of Dengzhou Mansion, and Mingxin bent his knees to Chen Ying at the right time, and said with a slight joke: "Speaking of which, the maid should also be good to thank the girl." If there is no girl, the maid will not be here, and she will meet the girl again. To put it mildly, this may also be a fate between the maid and the girl. ”
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent.
Why Mingxin came to Jinan, the reason is on the bright side.
Isn't it because she's a servant of the "master"?
And the reason why she has such a bad reputation is because Chen Ying solved the Gu Dafu murder case.
What Mingxin said at the moment was a good word, but the meaning hidden there would make people have bad thoughts.
Mother Luo's face sank quickly, and she said coldly: "Our girl is ordered to investigate the case, not to mention the He family, even the Imperial City Forbidden Palace, our girl will also investigate." ”
She was talking to block her heart and tell her not to talk about Chen Ying.
Hearing this, Mingxin smiled disapprehantly, and there was even a little freedom in that smile: "Mom thought about me wrong, although I am not a character on the stage, I am not such a foolish person." ”
At this point, she turned to Chen Ying and saluted again, and said, "The maid is really grateful to the girl." Naturally, in the eyes of the girl, the maid is just a cheap thing that is inferior to grass and trees, but the maid still has to say that the girl found out about the murder case of the He family, and she really gave the maid a way out. ”
After speaking, he bowed down in a dignified manner.
This stunned Luo's mother.
Seeing her words and deeds, it doesn't seem to be a fake, she is indeed sincerely thanking Chen Ying.
At this time, Mo said that it was Luo's mother, but Zhishi had such a stable temperament, and she was also surprised.
Chen Ying glanced at Mingxin and smiled peacefully: "Thank me, I don't have to, I just did what I had to do." Now that you've found your way, I see you're in good spirits, and I think you're also enjoying the changes you have made, and I'm very happy for you. ”
After a few words, Chen Ying felt that there was nothing unusual, but when Mingxin heard it, his eyes turned red.
She raised her head, looked at Chen Ying for a long time, and smiled: "The maid guessed that Miss Chen San was so smart, she must not be comparable to ordinary people, and now that I met you in person, the maid knew that the girl was extraordinary, and she was by no means such a vulgar fan." ”
She raised her sleeve and wiped it from the corner of her eyes, straightened her expression again, and said, "In front of the girl, the maid doesn't tell lies. Speaking a bad sentence, everyone said that the maid had the heart to pick the high branch to fly, and said that the maid died in the He family and did not leave, that is, he was coveting the concubine position, and he wanted to compete for favor from Mrs. He. ”
She snorted disdainfully, and raised her willow eyebrows crookedly: "I want the servant to say, these people are really dog-eyed and low-looking!" ”
It's obviously a very light sentence, but through her, she is a little more proud, as if the whole world doesn't look at it.
"Don't say what kind of aunt or concubine, to put it mildly, that is, Mrs. He went down to the court on the spot and asked the maid to take her place, and the maid won't even sweep her eyes." Her voice was almost indifferent, and her upright figure was like a lotus, as if she wanted to lift it in the wind.
