Brocade clothing

Chapter 66

Chu Qing said: "It's not necessary, it's not a big deal, just let Steward Ge look at a few things." Chu Qing took out an oiled paper bag from the package, opened it, and there were some snacks inside, Chu Qing didn't say this It was brought from the cemetery, just to let Butler Ge take a look.

Steward Ge looked at the snacks, his expression was still dazed, but then he thought of something, his eyes turned red immediately, and he almost burst into tears: "Young Master Chu, how do you know these snacks?"

Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao looked at each other and asked, "Butler Ge, is there anything special about these snacks?"

"These snacks were the master's favorites during his lifetime. These are walnut cakes, hazelnut cakes...all of which the master would eat every day, but later, because the master was in poor health, he would only eat them once a month. After eating some, the master will always talk about it, so this old slave remembers it very clearly." Butler Ge wiped his tears, thinking of sad things, especially today is the anniversary of his death, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Chu Qing looked at the pastries, but fell silent: Since Master Ge likes to eat these, it means that someone specially came to worship Master Ge, but if it is not someone close to him, how would he know Master's daily preferences?Who will this person be?Could it be that there were still survivors in the Ge family back then?
On the way back, Chu Qing kept thinking.

Li Tianxiao asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Think who came to worship Master Ge." Chu Qing said.

"What, but is there a problem?"

"Well, I suspect that when the Ge family was wiped out, apart from Butler Ge, there were survivors who were close to Master Ge." Chu Qing said.

"In that case, why didn't you ask Steward Ge?" Li Tianxiao said.

Chu Qing shook his head and said: "Steward Ge probably didn't know, otherwise, he would not tell us. Now, this idea is just a suspicion. It is better not to tell Steward Ge, but let him be full of hope but disappointed in the end. Mr. Yu, you Do you know where these snacks are bought?"

"Well, the most famous hazelnut cake in Yancheng is Baihuazhai."

"Then go to Baihua Zhai first."

Baihuazhai.

Yu Kuifeng went directly to the shopkeeper, took a piece of silver, put all these pastries on it, and asked, "Shopkeeper, ask me something, I wonder if it's okay?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the silver: "Okay, sir, what do you want to ask?" He reached out to take it, but was held back by Yu Kuifeng.

"Who has bought these dim sums today?" If one was taken out individually, countless people would have sold it. Not much.

"This, my lord, let me look it up." The shopkeeper opened the account book and began to flip through it. After all, this is not an important privacy, and the shopkeeper has nothing to hide, so he quickly said: "Today, a total of There are three people who have bought these five snacks, two of them don't know each other, one is a boy, the other is a maid, I don't know which mansion they are from."

"Then what about the one you know?" Chu tapped on the counter and asked.

The shopkeeper looked up, only praised the young man for his good looks, and said: "I know the other one, Miss Chuan'er from Chunxiang Pavilion, she comes to buy these pastries every month, and she is a regular customer. "

Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat: "Chunxiang Pavilion?"

The shopkeeper blinked ambiguously: "Sir, don't tell me you don't know where it is?"

Chu Qing smiled: "Of course I know, Miss Chuan'er comes here every month, is it this day?"

"No, every month is the first month of the first month to buy, but every year in this month, it is this day to buy."

After leaving Baihuazhai, Chu Qing rubbed the center of her eyebrows, but there was an inexplicable layer of sweat on her back. She stood there, obviously very hot, but she felt cool in her heart.For some reason, a very ominous premonition welled up in her heart, and she only hoped that this premonition would not come true.

"What's wrong?" Li Tianxiao asked uneasily seeing that she was not in the right mood.

"Go back to Steward Ge again, and make sure to arrive before he goes to worship Master Ge." She wanted to make sure of one thing.

"Okay." Li Tianxiao didn't ask anything, and asked Yu Kuifeng to drive back.

Chu Qing and others went back and forth, which made Steward Ge very surprised. He was ready and planned to take Ge Shitou to the cemetery. When he saw Chu Qing, he was stunned: "Young Master Chu, what's wrong?"

Chu Qing took out those snacks again, and Steward Ge was puzzled and said, "My lord, didn't you bring these over earlier? These are the master's favorite food. Is there any problem, my lord?"

Chu Qing said: "These snacks are fine, but the person who took out these snacks has a problem. Butler Ge, do you know where I got these things from?"

Steward Ge shook his head: "I thought it was strange before, Mr. Chu, where did you get these dim sum? How do you know the taste that the master likes?"

"I don't know about these, but someone worshiped Master Ge." Chu Qing said.

Steward Ge's body trembled: "What? Someone worshiped the master? But, but master... how could someone know the taste of the master so well?" Steward Ge's eyes were full of disbelief, his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't help but feel excited. Holding Chu Qing's hand, Li Tianxiao saw it from the side, frowned, and endured it, he didn't say anything, but kept his sharp eyes fixed on the two hands holding each other, wondering if he brushed it away at this moment If so, will it make people think that he is abnormal?

Chu Qing paused, and then said slowly: "Butler Ge, do you think it is possible that the Ge family survived back then? And it was someone close to Master Ge."

Only those who are closest relatives can know Master Ge's taste so well that they can still remember it so clearly after so many years.

Butler Ge's expression changed, but in the next moment, he became excited again: "Young Master Chu, is what you said true? Is it possible that there are still people alive?"

Chu Qing comforted: "Of course, this is just my suspicion."

Steward Ge squatted on the chair for a long time before shaking his head and saying: "No, no... Actually, when the accident happened, I thought that maybe, maybe one person was still alive, but at that time I went to her place secretly I've seen it, and found that the place was already empty, I thought, even...even she was killed, but if there is really anyone who remembers the master's taste so much, it's only...she." Steward Ge wiped his tears away. With tears in his eyes, he shook his head slightly.

Chu Qing's heart moved: "Butler Ge, what are you talking about?"

Steward Ge sighed softly, "...it's Aunt Fang."

"Huh? Aunt Fang belongs to Master Ge..." Chu Qing asked.

Ge Guanjia said: "Aunt Fang is the concubine that the master just married two years ago when the accident happened. She is very favored. The master is really happy with Aunt Fang. At that time, even if the wife disagreed and almost fell out with the master, the master still married her But two days before the accident, my wife often quarreled with Aunt Fang because she didn't deal with her. At that time, Aunt Fang was pregnant again, so the master suggested that Aunt Fang go to another hospital for a while. Aunt Fang agreed at that time. I decided to raise him for a period of time. At that time, something happened in my hometown, Shi Shi was seriously ill, so I had to take leave with the master and went back to my hometown. Unexpectedly, something happened during the time I went back. Later, I didn't know whether Aunt Fang had gone to another hospital, I looked for it, but I couldn't find it."

Chu Qing's expression flickered slightly, and said: "What's the origin of Aunt Fang? Is there anyone else in the family?"

Steward Ge shook his head and said, "Aunt Fang's family has no one left. She... is a Qing servant who was redeemed by the master from Chunxiang Tower. It is precisely because Aunt Fang came from that place that Madam has targeted her in various ways."

After Chu Qing came out of Butler Ge's house, she sat in the carriage on the return journey, and her mind was not very peaceful the whole time.

Li Tianxiao asked: "What's the matter? But there is something wrong with Aunt Fang?"

Chu Qing shook his head and said, "Aunt Fang is fine, but... I'm afraid my guess will come true."

"Huh?" Li Tianxiao looked over strangely: "What did you find?"

Chu Qing rubbed the sore brows, and said: "Eighteen years ago, if Aunt Fang hadn't died, and her child was born, counting according to the false age, she would have had it."

Li Tianxiao said: "So what?"

Yu Kuifeng also looked over, why did Mr. Chu have such a dignified expression?
Chu Qing raised her eyes, looked at Li Tianxiao lightly, and said slowly: "18 years ago, Aunt Fang came out of Chunxiang Pavilion."

Li Tianxiao and Yu Gufeng savored it carefully, but they still didn't find anything wrong.

Chu Qing continued: "A few days ago, Chunxiang Pavilion just had a murder case. The deceased Zhu Yuanwai may be related to the family extermination case, and he died. The person who killed him, Chunxiang Pavilion's Huakui Quyu, started receiving guests four years ago. It just happened to be full so far. And she stayed in the Chunxiang Pavilion since she was a child, this...don't you understand? Zhu Yuanwai's death was not an accident at all, it was a deliberate and premeditated killing by the Hua Kui's witty words , I didn’t know what the motive was before, but it’s scary...now I understand.” But it’s not the truth that Chu Qing is willing to accept.

If it's true, then that punchline...

Yet another victim.

If the oiran's witty words were really Aunt Fang's child, the bustard and Chuan'er must know something.

Li Tianxiao and Yu Gufeng looked at each other, they were also surprised, but not as big as Chu Qing's reaction.After all, they came out of the palace and were used to things dirtier and nastier than this.They have long lost their original innocence in this court dispute, but it is obvious that Chu Qing still maintains such a heart.Obviously Li Tianxiao didn't like the benevolence of women the most before, but now when he looks at Chu Qing, he actually appreciates it even more. At the same time, there are other emotions hidden in it, which makes him sink even more, unable to extricate himself.
