Chapter 34 Door-to-door begging
"Whoa, whoa, whoa."
The slippery snakeskin whip rose and fell, three times.
The woman holding the whip had blood-red nails, squinted her eyes fiercely, and stared at Qingzhu who was tied with hemp rope: "Ask one last time, what is your master's purpose?" Someone is ventilating her behind her back! ”
The green bamboo beads were scattered, his hands were tied behind his back, but his teeth were clenched, and he refused to reveal a word.
"What a foolish minion. Su Wanning didn't find out that you were missing at all, and you are still here to be loyal to that unfortunate master? What a mess! Qiu Yue saw that she couldn't pry Qingzhu's mouth, and a whip was thrown at the man who was drinking tea.
"Are you still in the mood for tea?! Su Wanning's little hooves are going to come to the door! ”
Aiqi leaned back slightly, and watched unhappily as the teacup he had held in his hand a moment ago shattered into porcelain pieces, and the water stains mixed with the tea leaves poured his legs.
"What's there to be nervous about. Qiu Yue, you haven't always boasted that there are no difficulties that you can't overcome, why did you come to Su Wanning's place, you were as decadent as a frosted eggplant. If you want me to say, a few of us are in the dark, and we have the upper hand. The other party has no weaknesses, can't we create problems for her? ”
Qiu Yue suddenly became interested, twisted her willow waist, and charmingly reached out to stroke Aiqi's angular cheeks: "I can't see it, Brother Aiqi still has a trick, it's better to listen to it, let us all have a long insight." ”
Ruyi, who was shrunk aside and silent, also echoed: "Aiqi, I saw Su Wanning hand over the firelight bead to Mei Xiaoshizi, and the evidence was all taken." What do we do next? ”
Aiqi enjoyed the compliment of the beauty very much, raised his chin comfortably, and immersed himself in Qiu Yue's teasing: "It's not difficult to say this, it's going to be arson, what's the matter if it's a little earlier or later?" Now that we have been startled, we have simply pushed all the things on the wronged boss, can we get out smoothly after we succeed? ”
"It's easy to say, how can Su Wanning be easily fooled?" Ruyi and Su Wanning have met face-to-face, and they can find out the other party's methods to some extent, which is not easy to deal with.
Aitch didn't bother to speak, and his eyelids lifted to look at Qingzhu who had passed out in the corner.
Qiu Yue understood it at a glance, as if she had thought of something interesting, and laughed happily: "Aiqi really has you." ”
Aitch stretched out his hand to beckon the two of them to come closer, and whispered a plan.
After listening, Qiu Yue casually picked up a leather mask on the table, put it on her face and changed her appearance: "See you later, looking forward to the next meeting, Su Wanning is already half dead." ”
Ruyi followed behind obediently: "Of course it will, Lady Li." ”
Ai Qi carefully looked at Qiu Yue's face a few times by the candlelight, and his eyes were blazing: "This time the shell is much more beautiful, I heard that it is called Li Sulan?" ”
Qiu Yue hooked her finger towards Aiqi and looked at his tea-soaked leg defiantly: "What, Brother Aiqi also wants to enter Jiang Penghai's small courtyard?" It's simple, ditch that precious thing and the whole palace will run rampant with you. ”
After speaking, Qiu Yue giggled and walked away, and Aiqi sat on the ground in a bad place.
In the bell tower, Su Wanning was still anxiously waiting for news.
Lu Jiarong stood in front of the window, his white robe dyed with a lilac afterglow, and opened the bead curtain with one hand to check the surrounding movements.
"Lu Jiarong, what do you see here?" Su Wan watched as a ball of paper was thrown from the gap in the staircase to the ground.
Lu Jiarong also wanted to chase after him to find out, but was stopped by Su Wanning.
"Don't go, the man told us that Qingzhu is locked up in Jiang Penghai's courtyard. I'm afraid that the person who sent the letter is not fully aware, and it will only be a waste of time to catch up with him for questioning. Su Wanning handed the spread paper ball to Lu Jiarong, and quickly thought of a wonderful idea in her mind.
can not only search Jiang Penghai's yard openly, but also send it at will.
Isn't it just setting a trap to lure them in.
Su Wanning really couldn't take care of a lot, but she had to check all the whereabouts of Qingzhu.
"It turned out that Mr. Lu was here, and it was rude." Jiang Penghai was sleepy-eyed, and there was still a turbid smell of wine on his body.
Although Lu Jiarong does not have a serious official position in the palace, he is the penman in front of the prince.
Generally, palace maids and eunuchs still have to call him Mr. and sell him face.
Therefore, even if Jiang Penghai was disturbed by his dream, he still patiently accompanied Lu Jiarong around.
The eight palace maids and eunuchs brought by Su Wanning and the others stood still, and then slowly walked to Lu Jiarong's side and said to Jiang Penghai: "Late at night, Gonggong Jiang has offended a lot." It's just that I saw a white shadow disappear into your small courtyard at a glance, and my father-in-law doesn't mind us searching, right? ”
Her tone was detached and polite, so that Jiang Penghai couldn't find a trace of fault.
"Look at this master, seventy percent of her eyebrows look like the eldest princess of Qingyun, it must be Miss Su." Jiang Penghai saluted first and then soldiers, "Miss Su broke into the eunuch's residence late at night, I'm afraid it will be extremely inappropriate for the girl's reputation to spread it." ”
Su Wanning knew that the treacherous and cunning Jiang Penghai would not easily cooperate with the search: "Presumably my father-in-law didn't hear what he said just now, then I will say it again on behalf of Lu Gongzi." His Royal Highness the Prince's favorite Persian cat was lost an hour ago, because it was about to reach the palace forbidden time, the prince was reluctant to search for it with great fanfare, so as not to disturb the masters of the palaces. Just now, the eyes of more than a dozen of us saw a pure white Persian cat on the wall of the father-in-law's yard. Whether it is or not, we will search. ”
"Search!" Lu Jiarong's left hand was raised and fell, and the eight people rushed in different directions, dutifully rummaging through.
"My father-in-law has a lot of trouble, please forgive me." Su Wanning felt a little overbearing, so good that she gave Jiang Penghai a smile: "Father-in-law Jiang is really a treasure of feng shui here, what cats and dogs, I like to come here when I have nothing to do." ”
She had something to say, with a smile on her face, but her words bluntly sarcastically sarcastically Jiang Penghai recruited cats and dogs and did not do good deeds.
The little eunuch who was waiting beside Jiang Penghai was angry, and he was about to step forward to theorize, but he was dragged back by a thin white hand.
"Little Fuzi, you go back and rest, and my father-in-law will wait for me." Qiu Yue's "Li Sulan" dressed up was dressed coolly, and she looked like she was dressed casually after going to bed.
When Su Wanning saw her old acquaintance, she really wanted to praise Li Sulan.
It's hard.
It stands to reason that when the enemy sees him again, he should be very red-eyed.
But today's Li Sulan always has a different kind of hostility, and it is very well hidden.
"This must be my father-in-law's rivalry, Lady Li. It's really a pear blossom pressed begonia, a perfect match. Su Wanning saw that Jiang Penghai was unmoved, and knew that there was probably no handle in the courtyard that could be searched.
Jiang Penghai smirked: "Thanks to the blessings of the masters, let the slaves be able to become a family once in their lifetimes, and die without regrets." Besides, Miss Su deliberately came to the door tonight to make things difficult, could it be that she came to humiliate herself as a slave? In this way, the slave also admits that it is just that early tomorrow morning, the Queen Mother wants to worship the Buddha. Today, the old slave can't be accompanied more, please do your own thing. ”
After Jiang Penghai finished speaking, he wanted to take "Li Sulan" by the hand and leave.
How could Su Wanning fulfill his wish: "Father-in-law stays, it seems that the eight people I brought are Persian cats who can't find the prince." But in addition to cats, Wanning also wants to ask her father-in-law for a maid named Qingzhu. I also ask my father-in-law to hand him over, and you and I will stop tonight. ”
Jiang Penghai didn't seem to know, and he was angry: "What is Miss Su talking about, cats and people, can't they all rely on the old slave together?" You wait, tomorrow morning, we will go to the Queen Mother to evaluate the reasoning, who is more shameless? ”
"Oh, father-in-law." Qiu Yue skillfully spit out a trembling end note, which successfully made everyone present feel numb, "Isn't it enough for you to have me, why did you bring me sisters and sisters again." ”
Su Wan's expression of hypocrisy and complaint, Su Wanning looked at it in her eyes, if she hadn't eaten dinner in a panic, it was estimated that she would vomit out of her bile now: "Father-in-law, don't be in a hurry to deny it first, listen to me give you evidence first." ”
Lu Jiarong also returned to the main hall after searching at this time, frowning and shaking his head.
Su Wanning had no scruples: "First of all, father-in-law, you have to remember that when I ask you to ask for someone, it is not that the teacher is unknown, and you must have unclean hands and feet." I don't need to explain why Li Sulan married you. After all, you are a eunuch who even Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has looked down on since childhood, and it is not difficult to pinch my little concubine of the Hou Mansion. ”
Jiang Penghai's arrogance was extinguished in an instant, and Su Wanning's words were not exactly what he said to Li Sulan in person.
It's just that today's "Li Sulan" has no reaction, and even leisurely wraps her fingers around her hair.
"If the girl doesn't believe her, the slave can leave the secret room open for the girl to search for at will." Jiang Penghai lowered the bottom line and was willing to let Su Wanning go further.
Su Wanning didn't want to bother: "Father-in-law, if you continue to talk like this, it's boring." I just want to see the results, regardless of the process. ”
Taking advantage of the situation, Su Wanning picked a comfortable Eight Immortals chair and leaned on the back of the chair very relaxedly: "I know that my father-in-law is well-connected, and in the circle of servants in the palace, you are one of the best in speaking." Now that the master is in difficulty, should the slave overcome it with the master? Tomorrow morning, Qingzhu must appear outside my door, don't delay me to change my clothes! ”
Jiang Penghai was held too high, he was so choked that he couldn't speak at this moment, and his face turned red with anger: "You, you ......"
Lu Jiarong whispered to her: "There is no need to say more to him, he doesn't seem to know." ”
"Okay, since Father-in-law Jiang has no opinion, then send the graceful maid back tomorrow morning, dressed up refreshingly and cleanly." Su Wanning saw that the expected results were achieved, and she accepted it when she saw it.
"Let's go, Master Lu, stay here for a while longer, and take up Grandpa Jiang's Spring Festival for a while. As the saying goes, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand dollars, and I can't afford it. ”
Lu Jia held back a smile and arched his hand: "Father-in-law Jiang, let's take the first step." Remember the cat looking for His Royal Highness the Prince, and Miss Su's girl Qingzhu. If you can't find it, it's not a joke for the royal family. In the huge palace, no one can solve the master's difficulties. ”
"Yes." Jiang Penghai suffered a hardship, and he couldn't call it out.
"Father-in-law, don't be angry. The wicked have their own grinding. Qiu Yue took care of Jiang Penghai's condition in the courtyard and smoothed his back.
Su Wanning vaguely heard Li Sulan's comforting words, and before she had time to savor it, she saw a fierce flame burning on the side of the bell tower, and half of the sky was burning red and hot.
