Chapter 44: Making Something Out of Nothing
"Isn't it, the last time I saw a back in the garden, and I shouted several times, and they passed without looking back, which made me wonder for a while. When I went to the front yard and saw my aunt, I realized that I had recognized the wrong person. Yunhe also echoed: "If she hadn't changed out of the girl's clothes, she really wouldn't have noticed." ”
Hearing them mention herself, Noah couldn't help but ask, "Who?" ”
Twilight raised her head and stopped the needlework in her hand: "It's not Qiu Ge in the Ukiyo Pavilion yet, it's just the girl that Mrs. An brought from her mother's house." Yunhe and I both thought her back was very similar to yours, and we almost made jokes a few times. ”
Noah's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered what Qin Darling had said, and thought: "Is there any of you who is more familiar with her?" ”
Twilight shook her head: "Well water doesn't interfere with river water, and I've never dealt with it." ”
Noah turned her gaze to Yunhe, who didn't know what Noah meant, and said carefully: "She used to ask the slave for advice on combing her bun, but she didn't know each other well. ”
Noah pondered for a moment: "As long as you can speak, you can do it." Tomorrow you find a suitable excuse to call her here, and that's it, but remember not to leave a trace, so as not to make her suspicious. ”
Yun He shook his head again and again: "It's not a difficult thing, no problem." ”
On the second day, Yunhe pinched the lunch point and went to the kitchen to serve the meal, walked opposite Qiu Ge, and greeted him warmly, but accidentally deducted the food on Qiu Ge and sprinkled her with oil.
Yunhe dragged Qiu Ge to apologize repeatedly, Qiu Ge naturally didn't complain when she saw it, but the stains on this body couldn't be washed off, and she wasted a good piece of clothes. She was a little distressed, and her face couldn't help but be gloomy.
Yunhe felt very guilty, and couldn't help but pull her back to Yiniantang, and found a ninety percent new brocade gown from his suitcase and handed it to Qiu Ge, saying that he had gained a lot of weight, and the new clothes he bought during the New Year's Festival could no longer be worn, and the left and right sides were also pressed to the bottom of the box, so it was better to give it to her to wear.
Qiu Ge saw that although the clothes were not new, the fabric was excellent, and the cost of silver taels must be a lot, so he refused in every possible way, and let Yunhe let go of a slit by himself, and he could make do with it.
Yunhe pretended to be angry and said a few words of agitation, and then Qiu Ge embarrassedly took the clothes in his hand and changed them on his body, which was a good fit, so he was reluctant to take them off. After thanking him again and again, he turned around and went back to the ukiyo-kaku.
Noah stood inside the window, watching Qiu Ge leave, and asked Twilight in confusion, "Does her back really look like me?" ”
Twilight nodded affirmatively: "When she wears your clothes, not only the back image, but even the walking seems to be deliberately imitating your posture, which is very similar." ”
Noah pondered for a moment, smiled coldly, had a plan in his heart, put on his cloak, and went to the gatehouse.
There are records of the time when people in the house enter and leave the house, and Nuoya directly turned to the day before the old lady's birthday, and sure enough, there was a record of Qiu Ge leaving the house, and the reason for leaving the house was to catch medicine for An Ruoxi. The porter said that when Qiu Ge returned home, he did have two packets of medicine in his hand.
Lin Nuoya knew that this matter needed to be cautious, so as not to slap herself in the face again if something went wrong, so she went to the ten doses of soup again.
Ten doses of soup said that the medicine prescribed to An Ruoxi was originally Qi, and it was available in the treasury of the house. An Ruoxi said that she was born with one of the medicines and needed to be replaced. It just so happened that the medicine that was changed was relatively rare, and the house didn't have it, so he sent Qiu Ge out for a trip.
At the end, the ten doses of soup stared at Nuoya and said, "Aunt Lin's face doesn't look very good, you have to rest recently, don't overwork." ”
Noah disagreed, thanked politely, and turned back to Yiniantang.
Could it be that this matter really has something to do with An Ruoxi? An Ruoxi suddenly fell ill on the day before the old lady's birthday, which was originally very strange, after all, for her, this is an excellent opportunity to show off, she has worked hard for a long time, and at the last critical moment, if it is an ordinary minor illness or disaster, even if she grits her teeth, she will definitely not leave such a good opportunity to herself.
If it was really her doing, it was indeed her usual style, but just relying on her own guesses and no real evidence, it was not easy to expose it.
However, after thinking about it, Qin Bao'er can now be said to be a soldier, and she feels that everyone around her is harmful to her mind, even if there is no real evidence, as long as she can come up with a convincing reason, it will be half the success.
Anyway, Nuoya's investigation of this matter is mainly to divert Qin Darling's hatred, and to spoil the combination of the two, so that she and An Ruoxi can fight to the death, and if she is idle for a few days, everything will be fine.
As for who killed the deer in the end, who was right and who was wrong, she couldn't care about so much, with the other way, and the other body, haven't you An Ruoxi always been good at sowing discord? I, Lin Noya, can also play well.
Moreover, I will also play "making something out of nothing".
Noah called the Ice Spirit, and explained it like this, the Ice Spirit hesitated, and only came back in the evening, but he didn't expect that there would be other unexpected gains, which surprised Noah.
On the second day, the old general came back from the court and received many special rewards from the emperor, and the palace was honored from top to bottom. Noya proposed, saying that An Ruoxi's health was already well, and if she had a reunion dinner together, it would be regarded as a celebration for the old general.
The old lady readily agreed, and also felt that the family had never been reunited, and it was time for the family to get together and celebrate.
Noya has a lot of chores now, so the banquet can only be explained and prepared by the kitchen. At lunchtime, Bailijiu also returned to the house, and then sent his subordinates to invite Qin Bao'er and An Ruoxi over.
Qin Darling saw that Lin Nuoya was still an enemy, her eyes were very red, and in front of the old general and the old lady, she was sneering at her, and Lin Nuoya smiled and didn't talk back. Bailijiu also felt that Qin Darling was too much, so in order not to spoil everyone's interest, he called her aside and whispered a few words of persuasion before she was temporarily born.
Before the banquet was opened, someone from the house came in to report that it was a guy from Jirentang who asked to see him.
Noah was a little strange: "Did he say that there was something, it didn't matter if he sent it away." ”
The servant replied: "The man said that there are a few boxes of new boxes of century-old ginseng in the pharmacy, and they are all in good condition, so I want you to take a look." ”
Noah pondered for a moment and said to the old lady, "It just so happens that the Boxing Rites have not been fully prepared, so I can't think of anything to do." If it's really good, let them send some over, and send it to a few Hou Ye, Lord Shangshu, and Lord Shilang's Mansion, what do you think? ”
The old lady was talking to An Ruoxi, and said casually: "You can do it yourself, you don't need to ask me." ”
Noya stood up, went to the hanger to get a cloak, and was dragged by Baili Jiuyi: "It's so cold outside, you will inevitably catch a cold when you come out and go in." Just let that guy in, I'll take a look. ”
Noah stopped insisting and ordered the guy to be summoned. The man had been advised by the steward in advance, and when he came in, he didn't dare to look around, and respectfully handed a ginseng box in his hand to Noya to look at.
That ginseng is really good, all beards and tails, and the color is good. Noya showed it to the old lady, and in the end, it was An Ruoxi's turn, she also praised it, and ordered the Qiu Ge behind her to be returned to Noya, and everyone summed up the number.
As soon as the guy looked up, he happened to see Qiu Ge, so he said more: "Isn't this the girl who came to our Jirentang to grab medicine that day?" It happened that the snake venom was out of stock that day, and if you still need it, I will send it to you. ”
Everyone didn't care, but Qin Bao'er's ears were pointed, and she was particularly sensitive to the words "Heavenly Snake Venom", so she stood up with a "poof", rushed to him, grabbed the collar of the guy, and asked eagerly: "What did you say?" Who went to you to buy the snake venom? ”
The guy was inexplicable, and pointed at Qiu Ge: "It's just this girl." ”
"When?"
"It was probably three or four days ago, oh, by the way, the day before the birthday of the old lady in your mansion."
"Nonsense!" Qiu Ge finally reacted, and asked angrily: "It's true that I went to your Jirentang to catch the medicine, but when did I find the heavenly snake venom?" ”
The guy was taken aback by the reaction of the two, retracted his neck, and muttered in a low voice, "I'll just ask casually, don't forget it." ”
Qin Bao'er pulled Qiu Ge aside, stared at the guy, and asked nervously: "You make my words clear little by little, word for word!" ”
An Ruoxi, who was on the side, couldn't sit still any longer, walked closer, and said to the guy seriously: "You can see clearly when you open your eyes, don't talk nonsense and wronged the innocent." ”
The guy didn't know why, probably because he didn't want to cause trouble, so he stumbled and said, "I, I probably recognized the wrong person." ”
Qin Bao'er ignored An Ruoxi at all, grabbed the young man's collar and almost lifted him up: "Dare to say half a lie, believe it or not, I'll kill you now!" ”
The guy was so frightened that he trembled like a sifting chaff, and told him to forgive: "On that day, this girl went to our Jirentang to grab two pills, one blindly said that it was her own prescription, and the medicinal materials in the house were not complete, so she came to make up for it, and the other was gold sore medicine, which was directly applied externally." Then after the little one gave her the medicine, she whispered to me, is there any snake venom? It happened that there was a shortage of goods in the house that day, so the girl took the other two packets of medicine and left. ”
"I'm not looking for any snake venom, he's slandering me!" Qiu Ge retorted anxiously.
Qin Darling let the guy go, and the guy immediately slipped away in a hurry. She turned around and looked at Qiu Ge coldly: "He knows you?" ”
Qiu Ge shook his head.
"Since you don't know each other, and you have no grievances, why should he slander you? What are you looking for snake venom for? ”
Qiu Ge blushed in a hurry: "It's true that I grabbed two flavors of medicine, but the heavenly snake venom is harmful and poisonous, and it can't be used in medicine, how could I be stupid enough to go to the pharmacy to buy it?" ”
Qin Bao'er smiled coldly: "Hehe, it's really a real person who doesn't show his face, a little dowry girl, she really knows a lot?" Do you also know that snake venom can harm people, do you also know that when snake venom comes into contact with people's skin, especially wounds, it can cause skin ulcers and abscesses? ”
