Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 260
The sun was scorching hot, and the sedan chair that had brought her here just now did not know where to go.Zhao Jinyi narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Last night, you said that Qiu'e smelled a very strong fragrance of helping love."

Crow nodded.

"Qiu'e doesn't have a separate room. Where can I go to burn incense? The clothes she is wearing must have been prepared for her by the thief. I saw just now that the clothes she wore last night have been changed, and the thief must have put them on again." replace..."

"I probably won't be able to find that blouse that smelled of love, but if Miss Sun made it, she must still leave clues in her house... You might as well..."

Ya'er was ordered to leave, Zhao Jinyi said softly: "Let's go back."

Back in his room, Zhao Jinyi relaxed before feeling sleepy.

She washed her face hastily and was about to go to sleep, Mei Ran anxiously said: "Miss, breakfast is useless, and lunch is useless, so what's the matter if it goes on like this? Miss, why don't you use some porridge?"

Zhao Jinyi was extremely sleepy: "Go get some food, I'll squint first."

As soon as the voice fell, he closed his eyes.

Mei Ran had no choice but to tuck up the quilt for the girl and tiptoe out by herself.

However, when she came back with some food, she looked at the sleeping girl, but she was reluctant to wake her up.From the day when the door of Kangle Square collapsed, the girl has not lived a peaceful day.

Meiran ate some food to cushion her stomach, then took out the basket and continued to embroider with her head bowed.

In a blink of an eye, the girl had been asleep for two hours, the sun set, and the afterglow shone in. Mei Ran put the basket and was about to wake the girl up, but she saw the girl sitting up and looking at the afterglow outside: "Mei Ran, I'm hungry."

Mei Ran hurriedly said: "Miss, let's eat these snacks first, and the servants will come as soon as they go."

But someone outside said: "Girl, this servant is ordered by the second wife to bring you dinner."

It's naked.

Meiran happily went to take the food box, but Wuyi shook her head and brought it in herself.

drink!This is rare.After Wu Yisu passed on his wife's order, he left in a hurry, but he wouldn't stay for a moment longer.

Wuyi came in, opened the food box, and the rich aroma of chicken soup wafted out.

Wuyi said: "Madam specially made old hen soup. Girl, you lost weight."

Zhao Jinyi smiled.Song Jingxing also always said that she lost weight, and A Niang also watched her lose weight.Do the two of them want to feed her until she is fat?

Mei Ran took a bowl out of a small bowl, tested the temperature, and then handed it to the girl.

Zhao Jinyi ate the chicken soup beautifully, and watched Wuyi take out the white jade-like dumpling ears, the golden venison, the seasoned vegetables in the broth, and the finely sliced ​​pickled king melon from the food box. He couldn't help squinting: " A Niang is so kind.” These are all A Niang’s handicrafts.Woohoo, if she gets married in the future, she will no longer be able to eat the meals cooked by Aunt herself, and Zhao Jinyi immediately has the idea of ​​not wanting to get married.She can't do it herself.

But he asked again: "Uncle has been here?" Venison is not easy to get, and sometimes the price is high and there is no market. Only by hunting in person can there be venison.And uncle Wu Nianbai is a good hunter.When he didn't leave Kyoto, he often sent some good things he hunted here.After returning to Kyoto, I started to resume my old business.Only Zhao Jinyi heard from his father that the reason why his uncle broke his leg in Lingnan was because he was hunting a rabbit.Uncle, the scar is healed and the scar is forgotten.

Wuyi hummed, put away the food box, and put it aside. Seeing Zhao Jinyi clipping a dumpling ear, he said coldly, "Aunt Chengjiao likes these too."

Zhao Jinyi just bit the dumpling ear, and the sweet soup flowed into her lips and teeth, burning her tongue sorely.

Mei Ran stared at Wu Yi with wide eyes: "Is what Aunt Wu Yi said true?"

Zhao Jinyi quickly swallowed the dumpling ears whole: "Does Aunt Wuyi know a lot about Aunt Chengjiao?"

Wuyi's eyes were clear: "Girl, after dinner, the servants will come one by one. Oh, even if these girls don't finish eating, they will eat most of it."

Wuyi is the only one who can control himself.Zhao Jinyi thought so.

But he obediently ate most of the food.

Meiran brought hot tea and asked the girl to rinse her mouth.

After everything was ready, Wuyi said slowly: "The servant girl was once one of Aunt Chengjiao's personal servant girls."

I see!Zhao Jinyi was amazed and stunned. Aunt Chengjiao was so favored back then, how could she not have a few maids around her?Aunt Chengjiao is gone, but the maid who served her is still there.It's just that he didn't expect that it was Wuyi beside A Niang.No wonder Wuyi always had a desolate and calm appearance, maybe it was because he had seen too much and experienced too much back then.

Wu Yi said: "Back then, Aunt Chengjiao had four maidservants by her side, and the servant girl was one of them. However, because the aunt was outgoing, the maidservant and the other two maidservants were quiet, and the aunt always only brought innocence when she went out. go out."

Wuyi, Wuxin, the names of the maids next to my aunt, these names have such Buddha nature.

"But then something happened to my aunt, and the old man interrogated her carelessly to save it. The aunt took her out, but it was just a cover-up. Every time she went out, the aunt would leave her in a tea house, let her sit and eat tea and embroider, and Not humane to anyone in the family."

Mei Ran's heart tightened when she heard the words.Fortunately, my daughter is still good, so I didn't leave her and Ya'er in the teahouse and run around by myself.

"That's why if a girl wants to ask my servant about my aunt, I don't know much about it." Wuyi said quietly.

Zhao Jinyi was very disappointed.I thought I finally found an insider who was willing to talk, but unexpectedly...

Just being annoyed, Wuyi said again: "But the servants are saving money. In the last days when my aunt passed away, the eldest wife mentioned to the old man that she would send my aunt to the palace. And the old man seemed to agree. During those days, My aunt, who was always kind to her servants, suddenly lost her temper."

Zhao Jinyi was stunned.It turns out that there is still such a move.She could imagine how desperate the extroverted Aunt Chengjiao felt when she heard that her doting father wanted to send her to the palace.

She was about to tentatively ask if Aunt Chengjiao was interested in someone, when Wuyi said again: "Grandma has been gone for twenty years, and now the thieves are making trouble in the Zhao family, and slaves can say something. At that time, there were five or six people who fell in love with my aunt and slaves, but my aunt had a special liking for someone named Xiao Erlang."

Zhao Jinyi was astonished.Xiao Erlang, Xiao Erlang, if Xiao Li's son, then he is Xiao Yang's father!Aunt Chengjiao actually likes married men!She thought it was the unfavored Xiao family man before.

But how could Wuyi avoid this matter?Didn't Aunt Chengjiao never take them with her when she went out?
Wuyi seemed to be able to spy on her thoughts, turned around unhurriedly, pressed the bottom of the food box, and the drawer at the bottom of the food box jumped out, revealing a stack of letters.

The letters had turned yellow and lay quietly at the bottom of the food box.

Wuyi took out the letter respectfully, his tone mixed with many unclear emotions: "Before my aunt left, she read the writer of each letter to my servant, and then entrusted it to my servant. After reading these letters, under the protection of the second wife, I have been careful for twenty years. Today, these letters can finally be handed over to reliable people."

Always deserted and unclothed, she suddenly burst into tears.

She was only fourteen or fifteen years old back then, and she had complicated emotions towards Zhao Chengjiao, who was her master but full of mystery.At that time, she did not expect that the entrustment of the master would become the last words the master said to her.

Aunt Chengjiao predicted the current situation of the Zhao family twenty years ago?
Zhao Jinyi signaled Meiran to wipe Wuyi's tears with a handkerchief, while he carefully took the stack of letters.

For some reason, she suddenly felt an unknown fear.

It seems that when these letters are opened, a flood of beasts roars out.
