Chapter Ninety-Six: The Tail
At Xinghuaye's house, Ye Qiong sat opposite Mr. Zou and his wife Yu, looking at the famous letter on the table.
The name post was sent from the concierge of the Ye family, saying that it was sent by a lady surnamed He, and the name post said that it was to invite the Minghu monk to go out for tea.
Minghu is the number of the master Yu's family. Yu's name is Yu Anyi, and she is also a famous talented woman, and there are not a few people who know it, and this name card was given to her.
The first to speak was my wife, and she said, "This Mrs. He on the name card does have some friendship with us. Her deceased husband was also a Confucian, and he had instructed your master in his early years, so our two families have been in contact from time to time. It's just that this contact was also a few years ago, why did you send me a name post at this time? ”
Mr. Zou frowned and said nothing.
Ye Qiong was also very strange.
It stands to reason that only the people in Yefu who know that Mr. Zou and his wife live in Xinghuaye's house are Ye Fuzhong. Mrs. He's letter should be sent to Master's house. The master did not leave anyone in the house, and this name card could not be sent, but would only be returned to Mrs. He's hands.
But the fact is that Mrs. He seemed to know the whereabouts of her master and her mother, and accurately sent this post to the Ye Mansion.
Mrs. He and Master and Mrs. have not been in contact with each other for many years, where did they know their whereabouts?
Is it a coincidence?
Unlikely. The master is not only an apprentice of his own, but also has a nephew like Zou Shanchang who can be relied on in the capital, no matter how coincidental this post is, it should not be coincidental enough to be sent to Ye Mansion.
There must be something strange about this.
Besides, now the rumors between Master and Su Qingyi are all over the place, and even a few days ago, some people in Shilin said that Su Qingyi could replace Master. Under such rumors, the master and the master and the master are hiding in the Ye Mansion and it is not easy to go out at will, and the discerning people understand that this is not a good time to disturb the master and the master or even invite each other to go out, this Mrs. He listened to what the master said, and the wife of the great Confucian should be knowledgeable, but she can't even understand this bit of reasoning?
At this time, it is a bit too coincidental to hand over the name card to the master's wife.
Could it be that this matter is related to the person behind who wants to kill Su Qingyi?
Only those people will always pay attention to Master's whereabouts and know that he and his wife have entered the Ye Mansion, so in this way, everything seems to make sense......
Ye Qiong thought so, and talked about her judgment in detail with Mr. Zou and his wife, and his wife suddenly hesitated and said, "If that's the case, why don't I refuse this invitation......
Mr. Zou said, "No, no. Qiong Yatou said before, now this matter, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, it is better to use the plan to lure the snake out of the hole. ”
Ye Qiong also followed the conversation and said: "In this matter, if it is really a friend's kind invitation, my wife has been stuffy in the house for so long, so it's good to go out to breathe and drink tea; If not, it would be just the right time for us to see who is behind the ghost, and it will also blame the master and his wife. Of course, this matter is more or less risky, and if my wife is unwilling to go to the appointment, it doesn't matter, we can just find another way. ”
The wife smiled and said, "It's just to have a cup of tea, where do you need to be so nervous." Alright, I'll just go this way. Girl Qiong, you remember, when I went out, I stared at your master and didn't use too many sweets. Your mother is so enthusiastic that she comes to deliver snacks three times a day, and your master is a lot fatter than before he came here. ”
Chu Feng, who had been sitting quietly eating candy on the side, grabbed the conversation and said, "Don't worry, just leave those snacks to me." ”
Ye Qiong smiled and nodded at Chu Feng: "Xiaofeng can't eat more, be careful of hurting your teeth." ”
The group laughed, Ye Qiong got up and personally sent the Yu family out, and called Ye Er to personally order: "You call a few people, half follow the master and wife's carriage to protect the master and wife, and half change into regular clothes and follow from a distance, and after the master and Mrs. He are separated, follow Mrs. He and see where she went and saw who she saw later." ”
Ye Er should go down and go down to make arrangements.
Ye Qiong stood under the corridor, and couldn't help but have some expectations in her heart.
I don't know if my wife can really fish out the people behind this trip.
……………………
On the Qianmen Street in Daliang Capital, Su Shi was sitting in the private room of a teahouse drinking Babao tea. Eight treasure tea is added with wolfberry, red dates, longan and other things, which is just right for a pregnant woman like her.
Su's nurse Xiang's mother pinched her shoulders and neck for Su's sweaty forehead, and couldn't help but comfort: "Young grandma, the old slave still wants to persuade you, you are still pregnant, like collecting rent and checking accounts, you just leave it to your subordinates to do, why do you have to run in person like this?" ”
Su's face was a little pale, and after drinking another cup of tea, he became more rosy, and said, "You have also seen that if I hadn't taken the initiative to take over this matter, my mother-in-law would have taken advantage of my pregnancy to take care of all the things in the shop, where would I dare to rest?" ”
Speaking of this, Xiang's mother was angry and said, "The eldest lady is really ...... On that day, you came back from the third room of the Ye family, and as soon as you arrived at the door, the eldest lady came out gloomily and said that when you went out at such a time, did you not treat the Hu family as a serious relative, and you would make trouble with the eldest master. If it weren't for the eldest lord's reasoning, you were pregnant again, and said that you asked Sanfang to help introduce Dr. Sun to show you your body, which blocked the eldest lady's mouth, otherwise I don't know what to do. ”
Although Xiang's mother is a slave, she is in the Su family, and when she says this, the Su family did not stop her from continuing, but sighed and said, "Mother Xiang, I have always felt bitter and panicked in my heart recently. Although Brother Lang respects me and loves me, and my father-in-law is also sensible, but for people like my mother-in-law, as long as she is still in the house for a day, I will be worried and afraid all day, especially now that I am pregnant with ......."
Xiang's mother looked at Su's expression, and she also regretted it in her heart, but Hu was the biological mother of Ye Lang and Ye Po, and the head of the Ye family's room, and she couldn't think of any good way for a slave, so she could only persuade and say: "Young grandma, the old slave can't say anything else, I can only tell you to bear with it for the time being, even if it's for the child in the womb." Worry hurts your body......"
Halfway through Xiang's mother's words, a woman's laughter suddenly came from outside the private room, and Su Shi and Xiang's mother suddenly stopped talking, but in an instant, someone pushed open the door of the private room, smiled and said, "Is this the place?" ”
Xiang's mother suddenly raised her face, and wanted to reprimand, but seeing that this person was not dressed and behaved like a civilian, she suppressed her anger and said, "This lady, there are already guests in this private room." ”
The woman didn't see the ugly faces of Xiang's mother and Su's family, and walked out of the private room to look at the door number, muttered "That's right", and then stepped into the private room again, saying, "This private room is something I have already set, plum blossom private room, how can there be a mistake?" ”
Su's face sank, this woman was so strange, if she was an ordinary person, she found that there were guests sitting in the private room she had booked, shouldn't she be looking for a store, how could she come to talk to them?
Xiang's mother also sensed that something was wrong, and was about to shout loudly to the store, when behind the woman, another old woman with a noble temperament walked in and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
Su Shi was stunned, she knew the old woman who came in later, it was Ye Qiong's wife, and Su Shi wanted to call Old Madam Yu.
Old Madam Yu was also stunned when she saw Su, and then looked at Mrs. He beside her, and saw that Mrs. He's eyes were slightly wide as if she didn't expect that there were people in this private room, so she smiled and said, "It's a coincidence." ”
It wasn't until this time that the shopkeeper from outside the private room hurriedly came, followed by the dejected Xiao Er, who accompanied the smiling face and said to Mrs. He and Mrs. Yu: "Two ladies, I'm really embarrassed. This little second in my family is not sensible, I don't know that the plum blossom room was booked by the two first, so I gave it to this lady first, you see, if you don't change to another private room, I will give you two pots of tea and a plate of snacks? ”
Mrs. He immediately said dissatisfiedly: "This plum blossom private room, but it has the best view in the entire teahouse, how can this be changed?" ”
The shopkeeper's head was full of sweat, and he was about to persuade a few more words, but Su Shi took the initiative to say: "It's okay, I'll go to another private room, and leave it here to Mrs. He and Mrs. Yu." ”
Su Shi said resolutely, and Mrs. He was stunned when she heard it, and she didn't say anything else for a while, the shopkeeper wiped her sweat, thanked her again and again, and was about to salute, but Su asked Xiang's mother to help her up.
Su didn't think there was anything wrong with letting a private room.
Seeing that the person who came was Mrs. Yu, the Su family had already started to avoid suspicion, and now the rumors outside were still chaotic, and it was not good for the Su family to have more contact with the people around Mr. Zou outside, so as not to leave a handle.
Besides, Mrs. Nahe looks like a person who can mess around, such a person, can't be provoked, can't she still hide?
Who knows, when Su was about to get up, Mrs. Yu said, "Eh, why do you need to let it?" I think this private room is very big, so it's good for us to sit down together, and we know each other anyway. ”
Saying that, Mrs. Yu took a few steps forward, and in a place where Mrs. He couldn't see, she winked at Su Shi Hui and said, "Little lady Su, your Babao tea hasn't run out yet, why don't you sit down and join us?" With multiple people, there may be a lot more topics. ”
Su Shi naturally noticed Old Madam Yu's small movements, although he didn't know what she thought, he still followed her words and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey her fate." As he spoke, he personally helped Mrs. Yu to sit beside him.
Seeing the intimate appearance of Mrs. Yu and the Su family, Mrs. He rolled her eyes stiffly, sat down together, and asked tentatively: "I don't know, it turns out that you and the eldest daughter of Guozijian Siye are old acquaintances?" ”
Old Madam Yu took Su's hand affectionately, as if the old birthday star of the family introduced her outstanding children and grandchildren to others, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I know." Didn't I live in my husband's disciple's mansion, Su Xiaoniang is the cousin of the female disciple, and she is also a Zhong Lingyuxiu. ”
Speaking of this, Old Madam Yu also took a closer look at Su's face, and asked worriedly: "I saw you a few days ago when you were still in good spirits, why is your face so bad today?" ”
If she is pregnant, Su Shi is not easy to say directly, so she just lowered her head, and Xiang's mother replied with a smile: "My young grandmother has it, and she has been a little happy recently, so she looks bad at all." ”
Old Madam Yu suddenly smiled and bent her eyes, and said sincerely: "That's a good thing!" Eh, why didn't I bring more things when I went out today, come, I'll go to the gold jewelry shop with me later, I'm going to give this kid a small gold lock, just as a welcome gift! ”
Mrs. He on the side couldn't interject, and she was very surprised to hear Mrs. Yu raise the Su family like this.
Su Shi was also surprised, but seeing that Old Madam Yu's words were sincere, she pinched her hand to hint at something, guessing that this was also part of the plan, so she only smiled and said, "You think so much about the unborn child in my womb, I should also think more about it." In this way, let's go to the gold jewelry shop first, and then I'll take you to the Su family's ink shop, there is just an extra batch of Chengxin paper over there, you can pick some more for Mr. Zou. When you are tired, let's go to Hongbin Building for lunch, okay? ”
Mrs. He finally seized the opportunity to interject and hurriedly said, "Okay, old sister, don't you just want to go shopping?" I think Su Xiaoniang's proposal is very good! ”
The smile on the corner of Old Madam Yu's mouth was cold, and then she continued to smile and said, "Okay, that's it." As he spoke, he glanced at Su.
Su Shi bowed slightly, looked at Mrs. He, who suddenly became extremely eager, and sneered in his heart.
Although it is not clear why Mrs. Yu did this, one thing is clear, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. He are not together, and Mrs. He probably has a problem.
As for what kind of fox tail is behind Mrs. He, I will see it clearly after this experience.
……………………
At Xinghuaye's house, Mrs. Yu had not yet returned home, Mr. Zou was staring at Chu Feng Xizi, and Ye Qiong was sitting on the side reading the collection of books brought by Mr. Zou.
The cuckoo hurriedly walked in and said in Ye Qiong's ear, "Girl, Mrs. He's news has been found." Mrs. He has a daughter, who is said to be very old and has never been proposed. Until a few days ago, a neighbor who lived nearby saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar and a young man dressed as a student came to the door. ”
Ye Qiong calmly turned the page of the book and said, "Have you found out who it is?" ”
The cuckoo said: "Although I can't be sure, I can't leave ten." The one who went to the He family to propose his relatives was Hu Wenxuan, the uncle of Young Master Changfang Lang and the eldest son of Hu Zhezhang, according to the description of the neighborhood, most of them were him. Another young student, listening to the description, does not look like the young master of the Hu family, it should be a disciple of Hu Wenxuan, and it is uncertain which disciple it is. ”
"Most of them are also one of those poor students who have no way out and can only rely on Hu Wenxuan to climb up." Ye Qiong sighed and closed the book, "When the family members who followed Mrs. He come back, they will be able to determine whether the Hu family really intervened in this matter." ”
Ye Qiong was talking, and in the afterglow, she caught a glimpse of Su Kite saluting her from afar, and immediately became vigilant, confessed to Mr. Zou, and walked outside the courtyard to meet Su Kite.
Su Yuan glanced at the courtyard, and Mr. Zou, who was still teaching Chu Feng to write, lowered his voice and said, "Ye Er can't find the cuckoo, looking for the urgent report I sent." Rumors suddenly arose outside, saying that someone saw the eldest and young grandmother of the long house and gave gifts to Mrs. Yu in order to seek the position of the prince of the country...... The rumors suddenly turned upside down, saying that Su Siye was despicable, filthy, incorruptible, and shameless, and could not hold the position of sacrificial wine, and even said that he would write to His Majesty to put Su Siye in prison......"
The rumors were menacing, and Su Kite and Du Juan couldn't help but be frightened when they heard it, but Ye Qiong only took a long breath, and even a sneer appeared on her face.
Sure enough, the fox's tail leaked out.
Once you do it, it's not untraceable, it's time to follow the clues and look down.
