Chapter Twenty-Six: Offering Incense and Praying for Blessings?
Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge thought about it for a long time and still had no clue, so they decided to use the stupidest method: recall and say everything Shen Miaoge had done in the past three days to see if they could find the cause of his poisoning; The two of them decided to start with this morning.
Shen Miaoge thought about things carefully and said it; Red Sleeves listened quietly until he had finished speaking, and then she asked, "Do you have the habit of eating snacks every morning before eating?" β
Shen Miaoge's face turned red: his habit sounded too much like a child, but now he was extremely reluctant to be seen as a child, especially Red Sleeves; He regretted it a little, and it was good that he shouldn't have mentioned it.
Red Sleeves didn't hear Shen Miaoge's reply, and couldn't help but look at him and ask again, and then found that his face was getting redder and redder; She didn't know, so she gently pushed Shen Miaoge: "What do you want?" Say it. β
"IβI eat snacks every morning and then eat." Shen Miaoge didn't look at the red sleeves when he replied, he had already made up his mind that he would never use dim sum before meals in the future.
"The dim sum you use is all made in the house, or is it ββ??" Red Sleeves didn't know his careful thoughts, and his mind was all about finding the cause of the poisoning, so he asked Shen Miaoge more than just blushing, and there were fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose.
Shen Miaoge was as embarrassed as she wanted, but she could only reply when she was questioned: "It turned out that they were all dim sum made in the big kitchen in Fuzhong, and after I came to you to eat, I asked people to go out to buy dim sum; After a pause, he said, "The person who went to buy snacks is an old man in the house, I can trust it." β
Red Sleeves shook his head lightly, and blamed him a few words: I like to eat snacks, why don't you let the nurse make it together? The sweets you buy are also easy to get your hands on.
Shen Miaoge was stunned for a moment and confessed: "I think it should have been poison in the food all along; That dim sum is not just for me to use, but also for entertaining guests, and the reason why I don't need dim sum from the big kitchen is just a precaution. β
The guests that Shen Miaoge can entertain are all the masters of the Shen Mansion: if several people in the Shen family have the same illness as Shen Miaoge, it will naturally be noticed by Shen Houye and others.
So that's what happened! Red Sleeves nodded slightly, and then instructed Zhao to go to Shen Miaoge's courtyard to get some of his clothes: by the way, quietly bring some soothing incense and snacks - although all the people in Shen Miaoge's courtyard were dismissed, it was impossible for no one to look at the courtyard in front of him.
It wasn't until Shen Miaoge listened to Red Sleeves tell Zhao to do things that he understood what Red Sleeves was trying to do with dim sum, and although the blush on his face did not subside, his expression relaxed a lot, and he told Zhao about the place where the two things were placed.
However, Red Sleeves hated him twice, which made him feel a little sweet in his heart, but he was a little uncomfortable: he is a man, he is the husband of Red Sleeves, and he can't let his wife do everything for himself, right?
After a while, Zhao took Shen Miaoge's clothes back, but she only took the clothes: "Fifth master, girl, An Shenxiang and dim sum are gone." β
Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge were stunned for a moment, and then Red Sleeves understood that she was one step slower than the person who poisoned her: she still knew too little about Shen Mansion.
Shen Miaoge couldn't believe it, he asked, "Everything in my room is gone?" β
Zhao shook his head: "Whether the other things are missing, the slave doesn't know; However, the place where the incense and snacks were stored, the slave and maid found it, that is, the entire house of the fifth master, the slave and maid searched for it, but they still did not find it. β
Shen Miaoge lowered her head, and said after a while: "I want to go over and see, someone took most of the things in my house, and only lost the soothing incense and snacks." β
Red Sleeves thought about it and refused directly: "No! Where can you get out of here like this? After seeing Shen Miaoge's expression, she added: "You are willful now, even if you don't have anything, I will be scolded as much as tomorrow." β
Shen Miaoge thought for a while when he heard this: "It's just that I have to go there anyway, this matter is related to my life, if I don't find anything in the evening for a day or two." β
Red Sleeves and Zhao disagreed, but Shen Miaoge just insisted on not giving up.
In the evening, Red Sleeves sat on the eaves and took the two girls to Shen Miaoge's courtyard; Of course, the mother-in-law guarding the door did not dare to ask too much, and when she heard that the clothes she was taking during the day were wrong, she hurriedly opened the door.
Red Sleeves coughed twice, and a girl said: "The girl is too, she has to go in person because of the cold, I'm afraid we will take the wrong one; You should have a good rest in the house. Then the girl commanded the eaves until they were carried into the house: "The wind is cool at night, so don't blow it to the girl again." After a while, he took Shen Miaoge's clothes and left: almost all the clothes were taken away.
The mother-in-law closed the door and didn't suspect anything: the eldest young master Shen Miaoge did have some strange tempers - such as resolutely not wearing clothes that did not suit their hearts.
Red Sleeves was carried into her house by the eaves again, but she didn't come down by herself, but was carried down by Zhao and the two girls - of course this person was not really Red Sleeves, but Shen Miaoge who was dressed as a woman.
Because Red Sleeves married to the Shen Mansion for a short time, many low-level slaves in the Shen Mansion did not know Red Sleeves.
After Shen Miaoge was placed on the bed, her brows were tightly locked; And the red sleeves dressed as a girl sighed lightly: "Although the things are lost, it proves that there is something wrong with those two things." β
Shen Miaoge nodded, he was depressed just because of Aunt Shen's two daughters: they looked like very good girls on weekdays, how could they do such a thing.
When Red Sleeves heard his words, he smiled and comforted him: "Although the things were sent by them, they don't know about the soothing incense; Think about it, was there anything unusual about their looks and behaviors that day? I don't think so. β
Shen Miaoge thought about it and nodded, and then shook his head again: "If I go on like this, I really want to be a soldier, which is a bad person and which is a good person in this mansion, how can I distinguish it clearly." β
Red Sleeves smiled: "Your heart is irritable, that's why you think that if someone takes something away, you can't find the person who poisoned it; If you think about it, even if something is missing, it is not impossible to find anything; Unless the person who takes the thing, he will stealth the law. β
Although Shen Miaoge is not very old, he has lived in the Shen Mansion for many years and has been smart since he was a child, so he was penetrated by the red sleeves: "That person will not dare to go on a trip just to get something, and the only opportunity to get something in the crowd is ......"
is only when the girl in Shen Miaoge's yard is dismissed: the scene must be a little chaotic, so it can be used by others; However, who went to Shen Miaoge's courtyard can still be found.
Not today, because it is late; And Shen Miaoge tossed like this, his spirit was also a lot tired, Red Sleeves and Zhao lit the incense of tranquility, and there was no word to talk to him, and he fell asleep after a while.
Red Sleeves then arranged for Yunxiang to keep vigil in this house, and she took Zhao back to the West House; She was also tired, not only physically and mentally, but also a little tired: where are the people living in this Houmen compound? But she couldn't say it, and she could only live on - if she wanted to live comfortably in the future, she could only rely on herself.
After Zhao and Cha Xiang cleaned up the bed for the red sleeves, Zhao sent Cha Xiang out, but she sat down from the foot pedal on the side: "Girl, I have something to say to you." β
Red Sleeves leaned on the bed and looked at Zhao and smiled: "If the nurse has something to say, just say it, I know what you say is for my good." β
Zhao's heart softened when she heard this, the girl is really sensible! She told all the things that happened in the past few days when the red sleeves arrived in the Hou Gate, and then said: "Girl, you have been smart since you were a child, but our General's Mansion has few people and few things, which is absolutely different from the Hou Mansion; There are a lot of things that you have to discuss with the fifth master and then do it better, how can the fifth master also grow up in the Hou Yefu. β
As soon as Red Sleeves heard it, she understood that Zhao was worried about her, so she also had a good talk with Zhao, at least half of which was what she thought in her heart: she was the only one she could trust the most at the moment.
The master and servant talked a lot, and through this deep talk, Zhao looked at Red Sleeves differently: The girl's art of war seems to be really not in vain.
The next day, he didn't go to Mrs. Shen according to what Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge wanted, and asked who had sent him to Shen Miaoge's courtyard yesterday, because Shen Laozu brought Imperial Doctor Jiang over to see Shen Miaoge, and Imperial Doctor Jiang said that Shen Miaoge was no longer in serious trouble, but she needed to take care of it for a while.
After Shen Laozu returned to the room, he actually wanted to go to the temple to ask Shen Miaoge for safety, but Mrs. Shen and the others couldn't persuade her, even if Shen Houye's father and son went out; Therefore, most of the ladies of the Shen family could only accompany Shen Laozu up the mountain, and it was the girls of the Shen family who stayed.
It is not appropriate to call the butler to ask about it: it is not yet certain whether the butler is a trustworthy person.
Red Sleeves was not too frustrated, although he couldn't immediately check the person who had poisoned him, he could take this opportunity to detoxify Shen Miaoge. Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves guessed that there were problems with the tranquility incense and dim sum, but they should be fine when they used the same alone, and they would be poisoned when they encountered the two together.
Red Sleeves arranged for Zhao to take advantage of the opportunity to go out to buy to find the white-haired old gentleman who had diagnosed Shen Miaoge's pulse: first inquire about the old gentleman's personality, if it is a gentleman who is honest and has a heart to help the world, let her show the old gentleman the pill that Shen Miaoge hid.
The girls of the Shen family came to visit Shen Miaoge every day, and even the two daughters of Aunt Shen's grandmother also came every day; Every time they came, they always had to sit for a long time and leaveβthey had the idea of helping Red Sleeves take care of Shen Miaoge, so that she wouldn't be too tired alone; I am also afraid that most of the masters of the Shen family are not there, and some slaves and maids will bully Red Sleeves as newcomers.
As a result, the relationship between Red Sleeves and the girls of the Shen family has become much closer all of a sudden, and they have more and more things to say to each other.
And just like Shen Miaoge was worried, the soothing incense and snacks in his house reappeared in the same place two days later: but Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge didn't pick them up again, because the things that appeared again would not be a problem at all.
Another point is that no one else has been to Shen Miaoge's courtyard in the past two days, so the soothing incense and dim sum appeared in the sky; The two of them naturally didn't believe it.
