Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

Mama Zhuang is an old man in the house, so naturally she quickly heard what the problem was.

Ginkgo should be the maid who delivered the meal, but it was not she who delivered the meal that day, because Ginkgo suddenly had a stomach upset, so she handed over the meal prepared in the kitchen to the little maid who sprinkled the food.

There was a short gap in the process of this handover, and Ginkgo put the food box at the door for a while, and then let the little girl take it, which means that there was a period of time when the food box was not in their hands at all.

I can't ask anything else when I ask about it, whether it's Ginkgo or the little girl, they are being used when they hear it. But Mama Zhuang is not an ordinary person, she thought about it, since she can't find anything here, let's continue to investigate in another direction.

The food box received by Hefengyuan was not something ordered by Bai Susu, but a sudden filial piety from the kitchen.

Generally, the kitchen will have this practice, making some snacks for the masters in the house to eat, mainly showing their faces in front of the masters, and mixing their faces with familiar faces.

If it is usual, there will be no strange place, but this time the reason why Mama Zhuang is suspicious is the two things that were sent.

Sweet bean cake and rose milk.

These two kinds of food are southern foods, and it is good to say that rose milk is good to say, because of the effect of roses on regulating qi and soothing stasis, the ladies and ladies in the capital will have nothing to drink a bowl. But sweet bean cake is different, this is an authentic southern food, and few people will eat this in the north.

In the final analysis, it is because of the practice of sweet bean cake, which is made by fermenting beans, and when it is made, it is seasoned with lard for the sake of taste, so it has some sweet and sour strange taste, and there are eight people in the north who are not used to eating that taste, so few people know about this thing.

Bai Susu stayed in the south with Lord Lu for three years, but he didn't know much about this matter.

When Aunt Bai had an accident, Lord Lu still had some hope in his heart, so he only said that Aunt Bai went to the family temple to pray for the Lu family. Although a tombstone was erected in private, because the body was not found, and she was a concubine who couldn't enter the ancestral grave, the matter dragged on like this. In the past few years, Bai Susu has also used the name of Angelica Angelica in the south, so for many people, Bai Susu has been in the temple for three years.

It was only a little more than a month since Bai Susu came back with Lord Lu, because she was afraid that she would be too publicistic when she first arrived, and the food she ordered was decent, even when she was greedy, she also ordered some xiaolongbao, soup pots and the like.

Bai Susu didn't like the taste of sweet bean cake at first, but after all, she had been in the south for a few years, and because Lord Lu had nothing to do, she didn't feel unpleasant when she got used to it.

It stands to reason that even if the kitchen wants to make these things, she won't make these things, after all, she doesn't even have the right taste for the other party, so it's better to make some ordinary pastries.

Mama Zhuang followed this clue and soon found an important person.

According to Ginkgo, the things were given to her by Mrs. Zhang in the kitchen, saying that they were specially made for Aunt Bai.

Mama Zhuang immediately ordered someone to bring Mrs. Zhang to interrogate.

Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, and before she could ask, she confessed everything she knew. After hearing this, Mama Zhuang did not breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned even tighter.

According to Mrs. Zhang, she was lazy in the backyard before, and she happened to hear two little girls talking again, and what they said was that Aunt Bai wanted to eat sweet bean cake and rose milk recently, but the dim sum shops in the capital were not to taste.

Mrs. Zhang is a southerner, but she followed the man to the capital, sweet bean cake and rose milk are her forte, but people here rarely eat it, so there is no chance to show her skills. When she heard the news, she knew what to do.

She has been pressed in the kitchen and can't get out, and the former was taught a lesson by the steward for buying melons and fruits, and fined a month's monthly money, which is really a little angry, this will make her want to stammer Aunt Bai, if the things she makes get into Aunt Bai's eyes, then there will naturally be more good days in the future.

So Mrs. Zhang said that she would do it, and made these two kinds of food according to the authentic Jiangnan method, and let people send them to Hefeng Temple.

Mama Zhuang knew that the problem was with the two maids who spoke, but Mrs. Zhang didn't know anything about the two maids, and she didn't see her appearance at all, she only heard a voice, so where to find it.

There is no clue to the matter now, on the one hand, Mama Zhuang sent someone to call the maids in the house to a place, and asked people to lead Mrs. Zhang to identify them one by one, and on the other hand, she asked someone to follow the clue of poison to investigate.

The poison that poisoned the fat cat was put in the sweet bean cake, and the poison ingredient Zhuang Mama let people check, it was not an unusual medicine, this kind of medicine can generally be configured by people who can order medical skills, and the medicinal materials used are also bought in ordinary pharmacies.

Although the configuration is simple, there is a herb in this medicine, but it is not so easy to get.

Baicao is an ordinary herb, if in previous years, the mountain is not worth much at all, but last year's herb produced in the medicine mountain of the insect infestation, the insect is also strange, specifically picking the scourge of the herb, less than a month the mountain of the herb was eaten by the worm. Although the local medicine farmer hurriedly remedied it and hugged other herbs, the smell of herbs was gone.

Because of its scarcity, the price is very high, but it is not a daily necessary herb, so although the price is high, not many people buy it. When the pharmacy saw that this herb was expensive and difficult to sell, it did not buy it.

Therefore, among the pharmacies in the capital, there are really few herbs.

To make this poison, baicao is an indispensable taste, and it is still the one with the most dose, so someone must have bought baicao in the pharmacy recently.

After Mama Zhuang figured it out, she immediately told Lord Lu about the results of the speculation, and Lord Lu sent someone out to check who had sold herbs in the pharmacy in the capital one by one.

Bai Susu has been staying in the house for the past few days waiting for news, and Xiao Bottler and Chunlan often bring back some new developments in things for her.

The number of maids in the Lu Mansion is that there are hundreds of people in the inner and outer courtyards, and these people are distributed in various courtyards, which is really a lot of people who will suddenly be called together.

Of course, it is impossible for these people to call all together at the same time, so according to the courtyard as a unit, people lead Mrs. Zhang to walk through the yard, and let the maids come out every time they arrive at a yard, and one person says a word to Mrs. Zhang, and then Mrs. Zhang distinguishes whether it is the sound she heard that day.

It's been two days, and the courtyard in the house has basically been walked, but there is still no progress on Mrs. Zhang's side.

"I mean, do you remember what you heard?" The accompanying maid was called Lan Xin, and she frowned and glared at Mrs. Zhang with an unkind face. The temperature is exceptionally high these days, especially at noon, and the people who shine on the sun are sweating all over, and it is indeed easy to get upset.

Mrs. Zhang wiped the sweat from her forehead, and whispered in a cowardly voice, "Remember." ”

"There are only so many people in our house, you have heard it all over the time, is it possible that that person can still put on wings and fly?" Lan Xin retorted unhappily.

Mrs. Zhang also muttered in her heart, it has been a few days, and she really doesn't dare to say that she must remember what the voice was like at that time, but she can really be sure that what she heard in the past few days is not the person who spoke that day.

"Hmph, I think you're an old slippery head, you wait for me to tell Mama Zhuang to go and see how she repairs you." Lan Xin saw that Mrs. Zhang didn't speak, lowered her head, and didn't know what to think, so she immediately pulled her to go to Mama Zhuang to complain.

Mrs. Zhang was also afraid of Mama Zhuang, so she didn't want to go, and the two pulled and pulled for a long time, but accidentally bumped into the little guy who came into the house to deliver vegetables.

The two little guys were walking towards the kitchen with a basket of vegetables, and they were hit by Mrs. Zhang coldly, and a basket of vegetables was spilled on the ground.

One of them suddenly jumped to his feet in a hurry, "I said where did you come from, why do you walk without looking at the road, this good dish is ruined, how can we explain?" ”

Lan Xin didn't want to be involved, so she quickly pushed the responsibility out, "This has nothing to do with me, she bumped into you, you have something to do with her." ”

Mrs. Zhang is naturally not a master who is willing to suffer, so she angrily stretched out her hand and pointed at Lan Xin and said angrily, "You don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, if you don't chase me, how can I bump into someone?" ”

The two of them insisted on each other's words and wanted to put the responsibility on each other, but the little guy who carried the vegetables was not happy, and he pointed at the two people angrily, "I don't care who blames me, anyway, you broke my dishes, and you will explain to the steward yourself in a while." ”

"Let's hurry up, the steward is going to hurry." The little guy who had not spoken until he had been talking lowered his head to clean up the dishes that had fallen outside, and said to his companion.

Mrs. Zhang frowned suddenly, she glanced at the little girl who was talking, and then lowered her head and didn't know what to think.

Hearing this, the other little guy sighed, and lowered his head while scolding.

After the two little servants left, Lan Xin grabbed Mrs. Zhang's sleeve and said, "Let's go, let's go to Mama Zhuang." ”

Mrs. Zhang didn't resist this time, she frowned and looked at the direction where the two little girls left, and let Lan Xin pull her to Mama Zhuang's yard.

Mama Zhuang has just received news from the outside that the pharmacy selling herbs has been found, and after investigation, there is only one pharmacy in the capital that has a stock of herbs.

According to the owner of the pharmacy, someone did come to buy herbs a few days ago, and they still bought a pound in a row, because the herbs are scarce and expensive this year, and this herb can't sell a few plants a year, so the owner of the pharmacy still has a good impression of this matter.

The person who bought the medicine was a young man, dressed very ordinarily but generously, and the ten taels of silver for a pound of herbs didn't even make a counteroffer, so he paid the silver and left.

The pharmacy owner drew the man's facial features according to his memory, and Mama Zhuang had a headache again when she looked at the portrait, it was really a painting with a nose and eyes, but it only had a nose and eyes, and there was not even an obvious feature, such people were all over the street, and it was like a dream to find them.

When Mama Zhuang was worried, someone said that Mrs. Zhang was here.

Mrs. Zhang was sued by Lan Xin, who dragged her into the door, when she entered the door, Lan Xin was by Mama Zhuang's side, and her temper was hot, Mama Zhuang did not train her for this matter, and she would hear Lan Xin's complaint, and she couldn't help reproaching, "If you let you do something, you will be like eating a cannon battle, when can you be more stable." ”
