Chapter XXIX

Mama Wan looked at Lu Tong: "The girl also knows the Ke family?" ”

"Who in Shengjing doesn't know the name of the Ke family?" Yin Zheng pretended to be surprised, "I heard that the kiln porcelain of the Ke family will be used in the Taishi Mansion, what a scenery this is." It turns out that Mama is doing things in Kefu, so decent. ”

"They are all slaves, what to say about decency is not decent." Mama Wan was modest, but her expression was a little proud.

Lu Tong smiled faintly.

Of course, Mama Wan is not an ordinary minion.

Her husband Wan Fu is Ke Chengxing's personal servant.

Wanfu has been with Ke Chengxing for more than 20 years, that is to say, Wanfu watched Lu Rou marry into Kefu, and then Lu Rou died, it is impossible for Wanfu not to know the inside story.

Lu Tong wanted to start from Wanfu, but this person was cautious and couldn't find a way to get close, so he had to turn his attention to Wanfu's wife, Mama Wan.

Mama Wan revealed her identity, and after learning that Yinzheng was a fellow villager, she spoke more casually and closely. When it came to buying plum blossoms today, he chattered: "This plum blossom is scattered, and the taste of the cake is not right. ”

Lu Tong had already pierced all the golden needles, sat on the chair and waited for the needles to take effect, and when he heard the words, he asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that Grandma Ke is gentle and generous, how can she care about a few plum blossoms?" Mama is too careful. ”

"Gentle and forgiving?" Mama Wan laughed out loud, "Where did you hear this, girl?" That one has nothing to do with gentleness, generosity, and the four words. ”

Lu Tong's eyes flashed, and he asked suspiciously, "Isn't it?" I heard that Grandma Ke has a good character and is a rare beauty, could it be that others are tricking me? ”

Mama Wan looked at her, and was about to speak, when she suddenly remembered something, and lowered her voice: "The girl may also hear well, but the one in the mouth of others is probably the first Grandma Ke." ”

"The one in front?"

"Yes, the grandmother in the first place, that is the outstanding character and appearance. It's a pity that there is no luck, and I didn't have to wait long to go through the door. Plain cheap now this one. Mama Wan seemed to be not very satisfied with the bride of the Ke family, and she was quite resentful in her words.

Lu Tong asked quietly: "Not long after passing the door?" What is the disease? ”

"yes." Mama Wan sighed, "I didn't know how I got crazy, but I was fine before." Xu didn't want to drag down the uncle, so he couldn't think about it for a while and threw himself into the pool, what a good person, it's good to treat the next person, it's a pity. ”

She really felt sorry for Lu Rou, but it made Lu Tong's eyes sink.

Old Madam Ke said that Lu Rou failed to seduce the prince of Qi Taishi's mansion, so she was angry and threw herself into the pool. Mama Wan said that Lu Rou was crazy and didn't want to drag Ke Chengxing down, so she looked for a short time.

The calibers of the two are different, indicating that things related to Taishi Qi are not known to Mama Wan.

Why did Mrs. Ke hide it from her subordinates, unless there was something hidden in it.

Looking at Mama Wan's appearance, she didn't know the truth, and I'm afraid her husband Wan Fu didn't reveal it to her.

The more you hide it, the more strange it is.

Lu Tong glanced at Mama Wan, and suddenly smiled again: "Then Uncle Ke married this one not long after the death of the first wife?" In this way, men are really unkind. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Mama Wan has a relative, "Mrs. went in June, and she was preparing for the bride price of the new lady in September." Even those of us who are subordinates feel chilled. ”

As she spoke, she seemed to feel inappropriate, so she hurriedly diverted the conversation and led it to herself. One moment said that the son in his family was taken by a fox friend to learn to gamble a few days ago, which often made Wanfu angry, and then said that the new lady was a strict housekeeper and was very thrifty from top to bottom. Speaking of old lady Ke, she likes sweetness, and she has to eat several boxes of sweets on weekdays.

I don't know how long I talked like this, but Mama Wan suddenly felt that the pain in her ankle was lighter, and when she looked down, the swelling had disappeared.

Lu Tong pulled out the golden needles on her ankles one by one, and applied them with a hot cloth. Mama Wan got up and moved a few steps, and was immediately overjoyed: "It really doesn't hurt!" ”

Yinzheng smiled and invited credit: "I just said, my girl has excellent medical skills and will not lie to you." ”

Mama Wan put on her shoes and socks, praised her, and thanked her again. Yinzheng refused to accept her money, and only pushed her out of the door with a smile: "Mama said that she was a fellow villager, and she said that she would not thank her." It's also a fate to meet at the flower market today, you don't have to say anything vulgar, when you have nothing to do in the future, just come here to talk to us. ”

Wan Mama wanted to thank again, but it was not too early to see that the plum blossoms had withered after being out for a long time, so she laughed with the silver zither and then carried the basket.

After Mama Wan left, Du Changqing, who was lying in front of the table, looked at Lu Tong and chirped, "I didn't expect you to really know acupuncture." However, after working for so long a day, I didn't receive a single copper plate, and Dr. Lu really regarded money as dung. ”

Lu Tong ignored him, lifted the felt curtain, and went straight into the small courtyard in the medicine store.

Silver Kite glared at him and walked in.

Du Changqing rolled his eyes and jumped to his feet angrily: "Why are you losing your temper at me?" Be all abroad. ”

Lu Tong entered the small courtyard and walked to the back room.

The windows are open, and the plum branches are craggy, reflecting the eaves, like a simple picture.

Yin Zheng followed from behind, closed the door, and looked at Lu Hitomi's face: "Girl." ”

"You heard it all." Lu Tong said calmly: "Mama Wan said that Grandma Ke left in June. ”

And people in Changwu County said that Lu Qian received the news of Lu Rou's death in March.

Perhaps, it was not an ominous letter that recorded the news of Lu Rou's funeral.

Another example......

It was a distress letter.

Yinzheng thought for a while: "But listen to Mama Wan's meaning, she doesn't know the inside story of Grandma Ke's illness, and she said that before the new grandmother entered the door, Mrs. Ke was afraid of upsetting the bride, so she replaced all the old people in the original lady's yard." Girl, are we looking for those old people now? ”

"No need." Lu Tong said.

has been replaced, indicating that the Ke family wants to cover up the truth. I think those who know the truth are long gone. And those who are lucky enough to survive are mostly ignorant and can't help much.

You have to start with the people around Ke Chengxing.

Lu Tong was silent for a moment, and then asked, "I heard Mama Wan say today, Wanfu's son was hooked on gambling money a few days ago?" ”

Yinzheng nodded: "Yes, I heard that for this, that son was beaten twice." Now it's obedient, studying at home. ”

Lu Tong said "um", and then asked, "Yinzheng, do you know how to gamble?" ”

"I will." Yin Zheng nodded without thinking, "When I was in the building, I had to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, gambling and wine." Not only can I gamble, but sometimes in order to cheat those stupid boys' money, I have to make a thousand games......" Speaking of this, she was suddenly stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Tong, "The girl wants to ......"

The wind is blowing, and the plum branches are swaying outside the window.

Lu Tong stared intently for a while and retracted his gaze.

She said, "Yinzheng, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
