Chapter 024: The layout leads to the real culprit
When Gu Yu returned to the Dusk Pavilion with the poems and paintings, it was already three o'clock in the unitary hour, and the twilight was four, but the pavilion was still very lively, and several maids were still in the joy of being promoted to the lady's personal maids.
So when Gu Yu said that the wonderful wind and the wonderful rain were given by the old lady, the joy and joy that permeated the pavilion was immediately replaced by depression and coldness, and the only one who was not in the mood was Miao Wei.
Seeing the return of the lady, this maid who used to be able to laugh and play with the lady at will is still sticking to her duty, respectfully came to the master, and said with a smile on her face: "Lady, the slave has warmed up the dinner!" After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Does the slave serve the lady for food as before, or will he leave this matter to Sister Miaofeng and Miaoyu?" β
Gu Yu was a little stunned, it stands to reason that she also knows how tough Miaowei's heart is, otherwise, in the previous life, this girl would not have accompanied her through hardships and hardships until she reached such a peak position.
"Lady, no matter whether your surname is Gu or not in the future, Ah Wei will accompany the lady for the rest of her life, if the lady is good, I will be fine, if the lady is not good, Ah Wei is willing to accompany the lady to go with her!"
As if that sentence was still in her ears, Gu Yu's heart moved slightly, in fact, until this moment, she couldn't be sure, such a maidservant, a "loyal servant" who was willing to share her hardships and go to life and death, was it a fine work that lurked by her side at the beginning, or did it change later?
After a moment of silence, Gu Yu raised his hand to signal Shiqin and Shihua to retreat, and only said to Miaowei: "Ah Wei, you come with me to the bedroom, I have something to ask you." β
Miaowei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was very happy, and hurriedly curtsied and said, "Yes!" β
When the two arrived at Gu Yu's bedroom, the curtain was lowered, and Miaowei stood quietly beside her, looking at her mother.
After a moment of silence in the room, Gu Yufang asked, "Is the palace silk I gave you still in your hands at this moment?" β
Miao Wei replied continuously: "Yes, yes!" Immediately, he took the palace silk out of his body and handed it to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu glanced at it, his expression flickered, and he was slightly unclear, until he confirmed that there was no change in this palace silk, and then retreated into Miaowei's hand, and asked again: "Do you know, why did I give you this palace silk?" β
Miao Wei shook her head, revealing a blank expression.
Gu Yu said truthfully: "Shi Niang said that this palace silk is something she ripped from the murderer, if her words are true, then I am sure that the murderer will definitely come to find her lost thing, because this is an indispensable object for her to contact her master." β
The ladies in the Chongqi Building must have such a palace silk as proof of their identity, of course, there is another sign that can prove her identity, but this sign can never be easily displayed.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu's expression was a little solemn, and his hand subconsciously stroked his shoulder.
But Miaowei's face turned pale, and she said in her heart: Could it be that the lady actually suspects me? That's why you gave me this palace silk, in fact, to test me?
Miao Wei's eyes widened, and she looked at Gu Yu with a panicked and innocent expression.
"Lady, I ......" she wanted to say that she was not, but whether this was considered a desire to cover up, would she say that the lady would not believe it?
Just when she was anxious and aggrieved and didn't know how to defend herself, Gu Yu spoke.
"I'm not suspicious of you, but I'm taking advantage of you!" She said, "The murderer will definitely come to find her, and she must already know at this moment that this thing is in my Twilight Pavilion, in your hands." β
"So you're doing something more dangerous now, and it's very likely that the murderer is too vicious and will kill you."
When Gu Yu said this, he smiled again and said, "In other words, I am actually using your life to lure out the murderer, will you hate me?" β
When Miao Wei heard this, her already pale face became even paler, however, she just wrung her sleeves at a loss, struggled emotionally and was quiet for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile on her face.
"Lady, I don't hate you, Ah Wei's life was originally given by the lady, when the lady wants, you can take it at any time!" She said.
Seeing this familiar and almost dazzling smile, Gu Yu had nothing to say, thinking that she could be reused by Huan Che in her previous life, and what she was valued for was such a heart!
A person who gives his heart completely is usually more effective than a dead man, because they do not need to be persecuted, but are willing to go to the fire.
The room was quiet for a while, and Gu Yu said, "Okay, you go down!" In the future, you will still be my personal maidservant, just like the wonderful wind and the wonderful rain. β
Miao Wei happily replied yes, and after a busy salute, she happily opened the curtain and retreated, walked not far, and walked in again and asked, "By the way, lady, do I want to bring you in for dinner?" β
"Not necessarily! I'm not hungry yet, you go out! If there's nothing important, don't let anyone bother. Gu Yu said in a row.
After Miaowei left, the room returned to calm, Gu Yu picked up the pen and quickly wrote on a book, the paper of this era is still precious, although the Gu family is not a person who lacks money to buy paper, but the amount that can be sent to her is limited, and if she wants to copy those books, it is not a small amount of dozens of pieces of paper can do.
In addition, the originator of metaphysics, He Yanzhi's "Theory of Wu Wei", Wang Bi's "Lao Zhuang Note", Ruan Ji's "Da Zhuang Theory", Guo Xiangzhi's "Zhuangzi Note" and "Pu Tangwu instead of Zhou Kong" slandered "Lao Zhuang is my teacher" The works left by Ji Kang, the head of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, are all indispensable reading materials for this era.
In today's era when fame determines everything, she can only make friends with celebrities to improve her reputation to achieve the goal of entering the office, so that she can have the opportunity to stand on top of the court, and it is possible to wash away the humiliation of the "judge" left by her grandfather for the Shen family.
In the middle of the night, a light in the twilight pavilion was like a bean, Miaowei stood under the corridor with a stunned expression, looked at it for a long time, and then thoughtfully returned to his back room, just about to fall asleep, but suddenly found a figure flashing out of the window, Miaowei was so frightened that she bit her lip tightly, and did not dare to make a little sound.
But there was an extra shadow in Old Madam Gu's bedroom.
Zhou Yu hurriedly lit an arm-thick candle for Mrs. Gu and helped Mrs. Gu get up.
Old Madam Gu opened her eyes that were sleepy and worried, and sprinkled her gaze on the maid in Tsing Yi standing in the bedroom.
The person who came was poetry and painting.
Old Madam Gu didn't talk nonsense much, and said bluntly: "Speak!" β
Shihua saluted Mrs. Gu, and thought for a while with some trepidation, before saying: "Old lady, the eleventh lady has a rather eccentric temperament, and she seems to know some mystical techniques. β
"Xuanyi's technique?" Old Madam Gu narrowed her eyes and said, "What do you mean by this?" Keep talking! β
The poems and paintings recounted in detail what happened on the way back with Gu Yu from beginning to end, and the old lady Gu's face became more and more solemn in the poems and paintings.
After finishing speaking, Shihua said: "The slave is really scared, if it weren't for the eleventh lady, Shiqin is afraid that she has ...... at the moment" as if she had palpitations, and when she said this, her expression had revealed a trace of fearful horror.
The old lady didn't care, and said: "Yi" said: "Don't accept its virtue, or inherit it." Zi said: The southerners have a saying that those who are impermanent cannot be witch doctors. My Gu family started with Confucianism, and there have been three generations of emperors and a generation of Confucianism. β
After a pause, she asked sharply, "Eleven Niang has never been out of the Gu family, where did she learn the Xuanyi technique?" β
The poems and paintings looked panicked, and they couldn't say a trace of why.
The old lady asked again: "You just said that she went to the Jinlan Pond to find evidence?" What evidence did she look for? β
When the old lady asked, Shihua hurriedly replied: "Yes, Shi Niang said that she can deduce that on the day she and Shi Niang fell into the water, someone must have been to the Jinlan Pond, and the bird's nest may be the code left by the person to tell the murderer's location, Shi Niang also said that she can have a hunch that the person who led her to the Jinlan Pond must have been injured now, and it must have been injured by sharpened bamboo like Shiqin." β
The old lady looked stunned, feeling a little unbelievable, and seemed to dare not believe it.
"What about Ah Qiao? What's going on with Ah Qiao? Since she instigated my grandson to go to the Jinlan Pond, then she must be the murderer, and now she can't kill my Gu family girl, but also my Gu family's children and grandchildren! β
The old lady said, angry, and then pointed at Zhou Yu and ordered: "Go, bring me that little hooves with a femme fatale, I want to ask, why did she want to harm my grandson?" After speaking, he seemed to be uneasy, and he was busy and changed his words, "No, I want to go and see for myself!" β
Zhou Yu looked shocked, and hurriedly replied yes, helped the old lady pick up the crutches, and wanted to lift the curtain and walk out the door.
At this time, Shihua stopped them again and said, "Waitβ"
The old lady stopped to look at her, and listened to her: "Old lady, Eleven Niang also said that Ah Qiao was just being used, maybe even she didn't know who the real murderer was, and ......"
"And what?" The old lady was a little anxious and hurriedly asked.
The poem and painting pondered for a moment, swept his eyes out of the window, and replied with a slightly embarrassed expression: "And that Ah Qiao may have ...... by now It's already a dead man! β
What Shi Niang said, this sentence must be left at the end, and it must be said at three o'clock, when the moon is hidden in the clouds!
Shihua glanced out the window again, it was the time when the moon was dark and the wind was high, it should be this time!
As soon as this thought flashed, I heard someone running in from outside the door and reporting to the old lady: "Old lady, the slave has something urgent to report, and the eldest lady is in the courtyard...... The eldest lady has killed someone in her yard! β
"What did you say?"
The old lady was stunned, and her blood was surging! His face couldn't help but turn white.
So...... This is the art of Xuanyi that poetry and painting say!
