Chapter Forty-Nine: The Second Lady's Death
"Yes." I smiled slightly.
After eating a cup of sugar water, sleepiness gradually hit, and seeing that the sun outside was good, he asked the two mothers-in-law to move the chaise longue to the courtyard under the tree, crooked on the chair, and fell asleep after a while.
This sleep, I didn't wake up until Shen Shi, with a thin sheet on his body, and Qingteng was shaking a fan. When I woke up, she hurriedly brought me a bowl of warm tea, and I took a sip and felt comfortable.
Let her go into the house and get the miscellaneous book, and after turning seven or eight pages, the green bead will come back. She retreated left and right, and said in a low voice, "Miss, the slave maid went to see it, and before the time came, the third lady called a carriage and said that she had gone out to Qing'an Temple to offer incense." ”
"What about the second lady?" I asked.
Lu Zhu replied, "There has been no movement on the second lady's side, and the slave maid asked a little maid around the corner, saying that the second lady is taking a nap, but the slave and maid see that the doors and windows are closed tightly." How hot is the autumn tiger at noon, where can I close the window during the afternoon nap, I'm afraid I will sneak out. ”
I nodded, and turned the leaves of the book without speaking.
What we need to do now is to wait and see what happens.
Then I have asked Li Jiu to inquire, Qing'an Temple is not big, and the second lady likes Qing'an Temple, also because it is remote and there are few pilgrims, and then there is, that is, the lotus flower behind the courtyard.
Last time, someone used a note to instruct her to clean me up, and after touching the soft nail, she must have been haunted.
Now that someone threw such a note and asked her to go to the temple she frequented, she naturally thought about it a lot in her heart, and with her character, she would naturally go to see what was going on after thinking about it.
And the second lady, since she can use this method to throw a note to the third lady, and she has been in contact with the Yuliang son on a regular basis, otherwise, how could she, a woman who came out of everyone, be so good?
Yuliang Gongzi was in Qing'an Temple, I pretended to be Yuliang Gongzi's handwriting and asked the second lady to go to Qing'an Temple, and then the third lady also went.
Now in early autumn, the lotus flowers in the backyard of the temple have long been gone, and she naturally won't go to the backyard again.
Qing'an Temple is so big, if you don't go to the backyard, you will naturally walk more in the Buddhist hall, maybe, you will meet the second lady who sneaked to the temple.
Although these three ladies are reckless, they are not fuel-efficient lamps. Bumped into the second lady who never worships the Buddha on weekdays, and naturally doubted in her heart, she has been going to Qing'an Temple for a long time, who will place an order today, and it is natural to inquire about it.
The two of them are already at odds with each other, and their grievances have been quite deep for many years, plus I ate the second lady's arowana last time, and blamed the third lady, and the relationship between the two was broken with one finger.
Now that I have thrown such a big handle to the third lady, I don't need to do it, and Tao is afraid that he will not be happy for a few days.
Within ten days and a half months, the third lady definitely designed to expose the scandal of Dow.
And I, just have to wait to see the show......
With a slight smile, I took a sip of warm tea.
It's autumn, it's cool in the morning and evening, and the green beads ask people to move the chair back to the house and bring the decoction medicine. After drinking the medicine, rinsing my mouth with water, reading a book for a while, it was dinner time again.
Lu Zhu had already prepared the meal, and whispered when serving me the soup, saying that just after Shen Shi, the third lady would come back, with a smile on her face......
After eating, Qingteng had already prepared a bath soup, soaked in the warm petals, and removed a lot of exhaustion.
After this short period of cultivation, the scars on this body have receded a lot, and several evil scars seem to have faded away......
After soaking in the soup bath, the sleepiness was dyed again, and the green beads were called to wait for a change of clothes, and the sky was bright.
The next day, it was the day to go to the Blue Pavilion again. I got up early to pack up and went in the same car with Su Tianxue.
Ordinary days always fly by, and in a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
The Blue Pavilion opens its doors every seven days, during which the news is closed, and the students are only allowed to practice their knowledge with peace of mind. Therefore, when the housekeeper picked me up and Su Tianxue and returned home, I learned that the second lady had an emergency three days ago, Su Hong was overly sad, and Fan had a heart disease.
The main mother is not in the attached middle school, and the affairs in the house are temporarily handed over to the third lady to manage. In terms of status, I am above her, so naturally I don't bow to her.
However, this Tao is also the second lady of the General's Mansion, but there is no white silk in the mansion, and only a small spiritual seat is set up in the side hall. I asked Qingteng, and she replied that Su Hong missed too much, and he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, so he didn't allow the slightest trace of loss in the house. Who said that this would make you feel that the second lady did not leave......
Listen to such nonsense. You don't have to think about it to know how much of a good show I missed during my time in the Blue Pavilion.
"Seventh year old, can you tell me what's going on with the second lady?"
When I returned to the small courtyard, I called the seventh day of the first month to the side. Last time, I specifically instructed her to pay attention to the situation on the second and third lady's side, this girl should always know something.
The seventh thief smiled and said, "Sister, you're not here, but you've missed the show!" ”
She brought a stool to sit next to me and said, "Sister, the people in the house don't know the inside story, they all think that Tao died violently, but in fact, she was poisoned!" ”
She saw that I was interested, and immediately described it again, "At noon that day, the third lady wore a lotus green robe and painted very beautiful makeup, and she took Grandpa Hong to eat outside to eat at the tea shop, but not long after, Master Hong came back with a-colored face.
In the afternoon, the second lady dismissed a lot of slaves and maids for some reason, I thought it was strange, so I took advantage of the darkness to hide along the wall in the old tree in front of her house, I wanted to see what happened to her, but I came to Master Hong with a green face.
What they were talking about in the house, the voice was not loud, and it was against the wind, so they didn't hear what they were talking about, so they saw Master Hong talking and slapped the second lady hard. The second lady knelt up and pulled the old man's shirt, and the old man slapped her again. Then he scolded what was insulting to the general, shameless and the like, and finally threw his sleeves away.
The second lady cried for a while, then went into the back room to change into a new dress, went to the table and drank a bowl of things left by her grandfather, and then went back to the house and lay down.
I thought she was going to sleep, so I slipped back, and the next day I heard that the second lady had died of an emergency. ”
I picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.
Things are similar to what I thought, the third lady found out about Tao's ugly thing, and tried to lure Su Hong to see it in person, I expected Su Hong to be furious, and he should divorce his wife immediately, but I didn't expect him to do even more desperately, and he killed him directly.
But it's no wonder that Su Hong is angry, over the years, he has been more spoiled by Tao than Wu Wanhua, I don't know how many times more, who knows that he is so spoiled, he still adds color to his head, and no one can bear it.
The second lady can be regarded as self-inflicted, and the good lady doesn't do it, but goes to Yulin Courtyard to find a jade-faced Xiaosheng. After such an end, it is natural that I can't blame others.
The matter of the second lady is over, and I also indirectly avenged the revenge of almost being killed. As for the three ladies, we have no holiday for the time being, and as long as she doesn't come to look for trouble, I won't touch her......
After breakfast, take a light nap, and wake up in the afternoon to change into men's clothes and go out. I went to the gambling house first, listened to Li Jiu's report on the situation, and looked at the account book again, and the daily income has changed from one hundred taels to one thousand taels.
Li Jiu also said that when this gambling house was first taken over, there were only many customers on the first floor, and there were basically no people on the second and third floors.
He also reported that some of the situations were nothing more than trivial matters, and I asked him to solve them on his own.
I asked him again that during this time, someone had come to the door to look for trouble, and he said that the opening of the gambling house had been smooth until now, and no one had caused trouble.
There were almost 30,000 taels of silver in the account of the gambling house, and I took 20,000 taels from it, and left the rest for him to operate.
The last time I came out, the Yinhong Mansion had already been renovated, and now, it is estimated that it should be operated according to my orders.
The back building was originally a big platform against the wall, the guest tables gathered together, the guests drank and danced and said something, and the back table heard it clearly.
I asked her to move the talent table to the middle and turn the surrounding circle into a guest table. In this way, the distance between the two tables is larger, and it is naturally much easier for guests to speak. Moreover, the prince is changed to the middle, and the guests of the private room on the second floor and the Son of Heaven can see the platform when they open the door, which increases the interest.
And then there is, it turns out that Momiji sings songs every day, and what he sings is what he wants to sing, I asked Sister Lan to add a song selection program, which is to let everyone pay for the filming together, whoever has more money can name Momiji to sing the songs he wants to hear.
Momiji is famous, and being able to make her sing the songs she ordered is also a different kind of romance, and I guess there must be a lot of people who earn this money.
When I arrived at the Yinhong Mansion, it was the special session of the peony girl, I directly asked Sister Lan about the situation, her attitude was very good, a face can laugh out of flowers, a little boy on the left and a little boy on the right, I can't wait to put me on her head.
I asked her, "What's different about this place?" ”
She replied, "After the table was changed, there were obviously more guests, and the private room upstairs that had been empty for a long time was also full day by day, but the income doubled, and it was not reached for the time being." ”
I said, "This is not in a hurry, we will see the effect after a month." ”
Naturally, she nodded yes.
What should have been said has been said, nothing happened, I didn't go to see the red leaves, went out and turned right, went to a larger teahouse, sat on the third floor by the window, asked for a pot of dragon balls, and quietly tasted the fragrance of tea.
Although it was sunny today, the sky was full of white clouds, and the scales of fish overlapped one by one, and it was very beautiful at a glance.
It seems like it's been a long time since I've been so quiet......
"Green Bead, let's go. Lu Zhu ......, "After drinking the tea, I wanted Lu Zhu to pay, but she didn't respond to a few calls, so I had to raise my voice."
Lu Zhu was startled and hurriedly went downstairs to pay the bill, I was a little curious about what she was looking at just now, so I walked over to the place where she was standing and looked down.
Under our window, a horse-drawn carriage with a black roof was parked.
The carriage looks inconspicuous, but it is expensive. The golden silk nanmu is the roof, the red sandalwood is the wall, and the windows and curtains are embroidered with gold wire, the sun is shining, low-key and luxurious.
"Childe, please get in the car." The groom seemed to see someone coming, and quickly took out a stepping stool inlaid with white jade from the side of the car and set it up, and after a while, a man in a white robe came out from the side, stepped on the stool, and reached out to lift the curtain.
Strange, how do you feel that this person's back is so familiar? I think I've seen it somewhere......
As if sensing my gaze, the man in the white shirt paused his hand to pick up the curtain, twisted his body slightly, and actually looked over......
Long hair is tied in a crown, with two willow sideburns, and a silver horn mask covering most of the face......
It's him...... The owner of the Fortune Gambling Room!
He seemed to recognize me at the same time, his red lips slightly hooked, revealing a playful smile.
Last time, I thought that his smile was particularly annoying, but this time I felt that his expression was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
With a thought in my mind, I turned around and hurried downstairs, going out to see where there was still a carriage......
"Little ...... Childe, what are you running and what's wrong? Luzhu hurriedly caught up, looked left and right, and couldn't help but ask me.
"It's nothing, let's go."
"Oh oh......" Lu Zhu hurriedly went back to get his things and walked with me to the General's Mansion. I took a few steps, thought about it, and then turned around, looking at the open space where the carriage had just stopped, and carefully remembering the man's turn and laughter.
I can't be wrong, it wasn't the first time I had met him at the casino!
This must be someone I know......
"Miss, what's wrong with you, have you forgotten something?" Midori asked.
I shook my head, "It's okay, let's go." ”
There was nothing to do all the way, and soon arrived at the General's Mansion, cleaned up and washed, drank medicine and bathed, slept well, and came back to Qinglan Pavilion the next day.
Different from the previous morning class chime drums, as soon as you enter the pavilion, there is a rush of bells from the bell tower in the distance, and some old students who enter the pavilion together, after hearing the bells, they will quickly run towards the main hall, and their faces are very complicated.
Could it be that something is wrong?
