Chapter 101: Helpers
Momei is the eldest maid next to her grandmother, and she has been in the house for seven or eight years, and she acts properly and generously on weekdays, and her grandmother Cui trusts her very much.
At this time, it was noon, and it was time for lunch. All the officials of Jingzhao Mansion were arranged by the Marquis of Jinxiang to go to dinner, and even the old servant also set up another table next to him, accompanied by a famous steward.
Jia Xuan found a quiet courtyard nearby and waited for Mo Mei, with Zheng Tiezhu's family on her side.
The sun was high, and Mo Mei came in steps, and walked to Yingying and bowed: "I've seen Miss Xuan." ”
She Jia Xuan stared at her for a moment before smiling, "You came to me today for something?" ”
Mo Mei smiled: "But it's not much to do, I heard that the girl asked Zhu's mother for ointment to treat Cuixiang, and the effect is very good." It had only been a few hours, but she had been well from morning to noon. When I heard that the ointment worked so well, I wanted to ask the girl for some. ”
Jia Xuanqi said: "The ointment was given to me by my mother, you ask my mother to go, why bother to come to me." ”
Mo Mei said: "Although the ointment is given to the girl by my mother, we have all used the ointment of my mother, where is there such a good effect?" If my mother's ointment is so effective, how can there be so many people in the house who have been bitten by rats who cannot be cured? ”
Jia Xuan smiled: "Sister Momei is really powerful, she serves her grandmother closely every day, but she can know that many people in the mansion have been bitten, and they must have done it by mice." I have been following the people of Jingzhao Mansion to investigate the case for the past two days, but I still don't know that there are so many injured people. ”
"The eldest grandmother is in charge of the affairs of the house......"
Jia Xuan raised her hand to interrupt her quibble: "Grandma has been sick for many days, and even the aunts don't have to go over to say goodbye, which can be seen to be very serious." You don't follow the grandmother to take care of it, but you pay attention to the bite of the people in the house, you are really kind-hearted. ”
Her words seemed to be praise, but there was a stern rebuke in her expression and tone, which made Mo Mei's face change suddenly.
Jia Xuan glanced at Zheng Tiezhu's family quietly.
Zheng Tiezhu's family hurriedly stepped forward, and according to Miss Xuan's previous instructions to her, she persuaded Momei: "There is the tea prepared just now, and the girl has not yet taken a sip before she sees you, and she is still thirsty." As he spoke, he desperately glanced at Mo Mei.
Mo Mei understood, and hurriedly brought the teacup to Jia Xuan: "Please drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger." Haven't I been anxious about my grandmother's illness recently, and it is inevitable that I will lose proportion in my words and actions, and I hope the girl will not be surprised. ”
Jia Xuan took advantage of the fact that when Momei brought the tea, he deliberately took the crooked tea cup. Seeing that the tea was spilled and the tea cup was about to fall off, she took the opportunity to buckle the door of the Momei vein with a sigh: "Be careful!" "Take Momei's hand and help straighten the tea cup again.
It's really not a Gu Master.
Jia Xuan had thought that this maid was just a helper before, but now she is even more sure. Just because she had seen Mo Mei several times, if Mo Mei was a Gu Master, she should be able to detect it.
However, to be on the safe side, it would be more appropriate for her to take a closer look.
If she guessed correctly, Mo Mei was in charge of bringing the Red Scorpion Gu to those people to feed it.
This shows that the Gu Master must not be able to contact too many people on weekdays.
He couldn't let the Red Scorpion Gu only eat one or two people around him every day, otherwise everyone else would be bitten and he would be unharmed, which would inevitably expose his own identity. So he handed the Gu to Mo Mei to feed.
Secondly, the Gu master should be in the mansion, otherwise he would not be able to give the Gu to Mo Mei to feed him often.
So the question is, why did he choose Momei?
If that Gu Master can rest assured that he will hand over the Gu to her and let her take it to feed, then this Gu Master must trust her extremely much. After all, Gu worms are rare, what if Gu worms leave Gu Master for too long, and another one accidentally has an accident?
Even if it doesn't have an accident, what if it encounters a more powerful Gu Master who refines it?
It's because Gu masters are basically not very good at handing over their Gu worms to others. Even close relatives don't trust it to this extent.
This situation is not the same as the previous situation of Hong Shuren and Princess Zhongshun.
Those two people were given a Gu, and the Gu worms would only stay in the two of them at their orders, and would not wander around, unless the host died, or there were other much more powerful Gu masters who knew their temperament extremely well and managed to take them out, otherwise others would not be able to take the Gu worms away. If you move the Gu worms in your body at will, then the host will inevitably die, and even with the Gu worms, you may not be able to survive.
For example, even if Jia Xuan is extremely capable, he does not dare to act rashly until he is unsure of their specific situation, for fear of the death of the host.
And Jia Xuan is not afraid that her Gu worms will leave her body, because her worms can follow her to reincarnate here, and they are naturally very powerful and will not easily run away. And if someone wants to refine them and subdue them, they must be stronger than her in their previous life, and they must have enough ability to subdue the Gu Kings. And this is simply not possible.
Jia Xuan has been refusing to let them go too far and for too long, but he is just sorry that they have not yet begun to recover. Like the Nightmare Gu King and Medicine Gu King who had already begun to recover, she would let them leave for a while at the right time to run errands.
But the situation of the Red Scorpion Gu is obviously different right now.
This is the Gu Master directly handing over the live healthy Gu worms to another person to take and feed. If Mo Mei had the slightest selfishness or other crooked ideas, even if this red scorpion Gu was not accepted by other Gu masters, death was still possible.
Then why is this Gu Master willing to trust Mo Mei and give her the Gu worm at ease?
Jia Xuan thought about it carefully, then let Mo Mei go, and then sent the Medicine Gu King to follow her quietly.
The reason why he didn't let the Nightmare Gu King go was because the Medicine Gu King could make some marks on the way, and it would be more convenient for Jia Xuan to follow it later.
At this time, the head of the Hou Mansion came into the courtyard and said respectfully: "The meal has been prepared, and I invite the girl to come over for dinner." ”
He and you came here just now, and when he saw that Miss Xuan was doing business, he didn't come close to disturb him.
Jia Xuan responded and walked out: "Have you finished eating?" She had something to talk to him about, like leading him to think about the scorpion.
The chief pipe: "I haven't finished eating, and I'm talking nonsense with the steward who accompanies him." ”
Jia Xuan thought that after eating later, he would not look for the old man first, and talk to him later. I thought about it for a while, and I could go to see my grandmother after dinner. Although the other party is gone, it is not impossible to take this time to visit.
As soon as she finished making such secret arrangements, before she even walked to the dining place, Jia Xuan heard Zhu's mother start calling her from afar: "Girl! Girl! ”
Jia Xuan paused and looked sideways: "Mom, don't worry, say something slowly." ”
The manager lifted his eyelids and saw that Zhu's mother looked flustered, so he bowed down and retreated not far away, staying here to talk to the two.
Mother Zhu lowered her voice and said urgently: "Someone just told me that the prince sneaked out of the side door, and I don't know who opened the door for him...... Girl, if the prince suddenly messes around outside at this time, how can it be good! ”
