Another aunt, the one who looked four points similar to He Angelica, also came up to ask for peace when she saw this: "Cheap concubine Li Bao, I have seen the county lord's sister, my sister is relieved, Aunt Xun, she is the daughter of an outsider, she has never seen a big battle, she will be dizzy when there are many people, and she is definitely not disrespectful to her sister." ”

He Angelica walked down the steps, smiled and held Aunt Bao's hand, and sighed: "My sister is a good talent!" I look at the strange ones, so it can be seen that we are destined. ”

Lu Shi looked at the two of them for a while, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I've seen Aunt Bao a few times, and I've been watching the seventh brother and sister for a whole day, but I didn't realize it!" The two of you look really alike, it's just carved out of a mold, saying that you are sisters, who doesn't believe it? ”

He Angelica pursed his lips and said: "Speaking of which, I heard the names of Aunt Xun and Aunt Bao, and I was puzzled for a while, my aunts are all surnames, why did the two of them take out their maiden names and call them." It turns out that the two aunts are both surnamed Li, which is really interesting. ”

Shang glanced at the bare crisp white on Aunt Xun's chest with disdain, and said with a pun: "Aunt Bao could have been called 'Aunt Li', but she changed her name to Aunt Li, the biological mother of our second lady Wan'er. Aunt Xun can't do it, there's a layer of difference, the daughter of a good family doesn't give her name to people casually. ”

What Shang said is more obscure, only those who know the inside story can understand, this time even He Angelica doesn't understand. The aunt who was named turned pale, whimpered lowly, covered her mouth and ran away.

He Angelica looked coldly at the deep smile on Shang's lips, and was really curious, so he couldn't help but secretly ask Lu: "Is there anything I don't know about here?" Aunt Xun, what's wrong with her? ”

The mother-in-law was present, and in order to maintain her image, the Lu family should not gossip too much, so she only lowered her voice and told He Angelica: "Aunt Bao is a good concubine married back by the Ming media, and Aunt Xun is just a cheap concubine, and the difference between the two is here." In addition, there is a cheap concubine named Zixiao, who now only serves her mother-in-law, so you can't see it. ”

"Oh." He Angelica figured it out a little. But I still haven't understood it thoroughly.

Good concubines are generally the daughters of large families or commoner Bai Ding, who are married into the door after changing the Geng post, and have a surname in front of the "aunt". Cheap concubines are the concubines who are raised by the girls in the room, the concubines of the plays, and the concubines of the prostitutes, and the status is only slightly higher than that of the subordinates.

What He Angelica didn't understand was that since that Aunt Xun was the daughter of an outsider, and she was also a young lady, how could she become a concubine?

"Madame, grandma!" A grandmother ran over with a pair of dark brown pants and said, "This is a pair of men's pants, found in the bottom cabinet that Lu Yao said." ”

"These pants shouldn't be the seventh brother's, the seventh brother won't wear such vulgar clothes." Shang said meaningfully.

Mrs. Su's expression was relaxed and she asked He Angelica: "Do you know that you have such a thing hidden in your house?" ”

He Angelica was a little hesitant, even if she said that she definitely didn't know what was put in the house, she would end up a laughing stock of confused people. Look at the mama who took the stolen goods, it was actually a man's pants that were found in her bedroom, and she was also incredible, she actually had such a dirty thing in her room! Who put it in?

Shang sneered: "The seventh brother and sister have just started, and I believe that they will not be able to hold on so quickly, but they don't pay attention to the things in their own house, and she is too confused." ”

Mint, the dearest maid who followed He Angelica, couldn't stand to see her master being wronged, so she suddenly interjected recklessly: "Madam, grandmothers! Lu Yao said that she saw the seventh grandmother with the man, and said that she had seen it just now, but the seventh grandmother had a lady to prove her innocence. The slave maid thought, could Lu Yao see someone who looks similar to Grandma Seven? That person hid these pants and wanted to blame our seventh grandmother? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone's attention shifted to Aunt Bao, yes, why didn't they think about it in this regard? The seventh grandmother has just entered the door, and she is not familiar with the place, so she does not have the conditions to hook up with an adulterer, but there is an aunt who looks very similar to the seventh grandmother at home! The seventh master doesn't care, it's hard to guarantee that his two aunts will do something shameless!

Aunt Bao was still smiling and watching from the wall, holding the mood of watching a good show, and pulled Aunt Xun to join in the fun, but she didn't expect to be burned so soon. Suddenly, the pungency in her nature could no longer be hidden, and she pointed to He Angelica and Mint, a pair of master and servant, and scolded: "Why are the pickled things in your house planted on my head?" I'm the daughter of Li Pan, the head of the household, and I'm innocent, don't confuse me with you! ”

Mint Heroic Protector: "Being so presumptuous in front of Madam and Seventh Grandma, what can't you do?" Our grandmother is the lord of the county, and there is a lady to prove your alibi, you are the one who should be weak-hearted! ”

Mrs. Su asked Lu Yao to confirm that the woman she saw who had an affair with a man was Grandma Qi or Aunt Bao. Although the faces of these two people are similar, they are not to the extent that people can't distinguish them, Aunt Bao is older, her legs are not as slender as Angelica, and her body proportions are not as pleasing to the eye. Just looking at Aunt Bao, I only think she is very beautiful; Compared with He Angelica, the level of genuine and fake products is pulled out. The best thing to recognize is the cinnabar mole between He Angelica's eyebrows, which Aunt Bao does not have.

Lu Yao hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say why. At this time, the maid hawthorn brought half a bowl of hot water and handed it to He Angelica: "The water you want, burn your hands carefully." ”

This move attracted a lot of people to see, He Angelica is in a bad situation, if it is confirmed that she is fornicating with a wild man, or unclearly carrying a trumped-up charge, and then being passed on by the public, she will have no face to see people! She's not in a hurry, and she's still in the mood to drink water?

He Angelica unhurriedly took half a bowl of water and replied to Mrs. Su: "My daughter-in-law said that there is a way to test whether Lu Yao stole the hairpin, as long as it can be proved that she is a thief, there will be a question mark on the testimony she said." Then, there is a possibility that Lu Yao is lying, and everything is made up by her, in order to disturb everyone and exonerate herself. ”

"How?" Mrs. Su asked.

"Please put the golden hairpin on the stone steps by the grass, rest it in that groove, and then taste this bowl of hot water." He Angelica served the water bowl with both hands.

Mrs. Su did as she was told, and really tasted the water in the bowl, but she didn't understand what He Angelica wanted to do. She frowned and asked, "It's just ordinary white water, can this water detect thieves?" ”

He Angelica walked to the edge of the stone steps with the bowl, poured the hot water into the groove where the golden hairpin was placed, and then told Mrs. Su: "The secret is on this golden hairpin, please be calm and not impatient, if Lu Yao has caught the hairpin, then the clear water soaked in the golden hairpin will attract ants." ”

After hearing this, everyone was very surprised, and they gathered around to visit, and most of them didn't believe He Angelica's words. But after less than a cup of tea, a team of ants crawled out of the grass to help.

Liu Shi let out a "ah" and asked incredulously: "The ants listen to the words of the seventh brother and sister so much, can you command the ants?" ”

He Angelica's eyes smiled into a crescent shape, shook his head and said: "I don't have that kind of ability, but I heard the old lady say that jasmine honey black hair cream is the most attractive to ants, so I came up with this method." Fourth sister-in-law, if you put on this kind of hair cream, you can also command ants. ”

"Black hair cream?" Shang was puzzled, "Even if there is such a thing on the hairpin, how can it be proved that Lu Yao stole the hairpin?" ”

He Angelica calmly explained: "Aunt Xun just said that the source of this hairpin is not clear, it may be Lu Yao's own hairpin, and we wronged her. Although I have not seen this hairpin, but I checked the dowry before, I saw that among the dowry given by Princess Yan, the gem set on a pin is the same material as this hairpin, the scientific name is 'seabed red', the color is red with orchid, and the surface is textured. This gemstone is loose and not very precious, but it is very rare, so I guess the hairpin and the pin are used in the same piece of 'sea red', as long as you compare the texture of the gemstone, you can first prove that this hairpin is one of my dowry, and until the door lock is broken, it is properly stored in the box. ”

When Lu Shi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Ouch! I've never even heard of anything red or black on the sea. Sister, you still say that you have shallow vision and don't know the value of your dowry, then we are all blind! ”

Shang had never heard of the name "Haihai Red", and felt that Lu was laughing at her concubine background, and she had never seen good things, so she immediately blushed.

He Angelica continued: "If it can be confirmed that this hairpin is the dowry given by Princess Yan, and now it has been found that the water soaked in the hairpin contains jasmine honey black hair cream, then the person who stole the hairpin out of the box is Lu Yao." ”

"Why?" Mrs. Su asked.

He Angelica smoothed his sideburns, pointed to Lu Yao's hand, and said with a smile: "Today, my daughter-in-law was summoned by my mother-in-law for the first time, and she paid special attention to makeup, and opened a new bottle of jasmine hair cream to nourish the ends of her hair, and the person responsible for combing my hair was Lu Yao." My mother-in-law didn't know that Lu Yao was grinding and grinding, and she combed her hair for more than half an hour, so I guess she must have hair cream on her hands. It smells so good that girls like it, so I guess she kept it and didn't wash it off. ”

Lu Yao's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but sniff her hands first, and sure enough, there was a strong jasmine fragrance, which scared her into a low voice. This low cry also exposed her weakness.

Mrs. Su hated it so much, it was so hateful! Although these sons of the Meng family are nominally maids, these maids were all brought into the garden when they were young and carefully trained by their grandmothers. Their food and clothing are extraordinary, representing the face of the Meng family. Now it has been revealed that he is stealing, and he is stealing the dowry of the new daughter-in-law, which is really hateful!

He Angelica asked Lu Yao expressionlessly: "Lu Yao, did you really see me with 'other men'?" Can you point to what has been said and done, where? ”

Lu Yao was flustered for a while, and couldn't answer with her mouth open.

He Angelica looked at Mrs. Su again, and humbly asked: "The master's grandmother's ethics are innocent, how important is this kind of matter, Lu Yao, as a second-class maid, is decent enough, right?" Whose face did she lose when she said it like this? ”
