Chapter 118
Jin Xi made up his mind to renovate the inner house this time, and within three days all the short-term workers in the mansion were dismissed.Those who sell live deeds are converted into dead deeds, and those who do not want to transfer will not be charged their redemption money, and will be sent away directly.Sending people is fast, but picking people to the house is slow.In half a month, only five little maids who had just kept their heads were picked.
He Huan was the first to object when he heard that Jinxi only wanted these five people and would not buy any more, and ran to the study to catch Zhou Bohai and said, "Master is also the magistrate after all, if Miss Six makes such a fuss, isn't it a joke for outsiders? "
"I don't care about the affairs of the inner house!" Zhou Bohai flicked his sleeves and walked away, only then did He Huan realize that his expression was not good.Isn’t it just bad? It’s a sign of getting angry. Just as he was hesitating whether to stop her, Jinxi came out of the study with a smile on her hands, holding a letter, “Mother also agrees with my approach! She also said that if Auntie is not used to the environment here, she can Go back to the capital to raise them."
"I'm not going back to the capital!" He Huan subconsciously took two steps back, touching his stomach intentionally or unintentionally, "Who will serve the master after I leave?"
Jin Xi glanced at He Huan's stomach that hadn't yet appeared, secretly wondering, it's been at least four months, why is her stomach still flat?Is it a false pregnancy?It is good for others to pretend to be pregnant, but it is not good for her to pretend to be pregnant, and she may be immersed in a pig cage, even if her brain is flooded, she will not do it.
"What are you looking at?" Jin Xi kept aiming at her stomach, He Huan became more and more nervous, turned sideways and put a handkerchief in front of her lower abdomen and shouted.
Jin Xi giggled and said, "I didn't look at anything, I just wanted to ask my aunt, when did you come back from the Anyang Marquis Mansion that day?"
"I... saw my fellow countrymen, Aunt Liuli was happy to keep me for dinner for a while, why, the girl also cares if I have a meal outside?" Asked when he returned, Hehuan's face turned pale, and Liuli, the concubine who moved out of Anyang, suddenly Straightening up, she put her hips on her hips and asked Jinxi, "It's the girl who came here to be a guest in a good manner, and she killed someone. If you have time to control me, you should think about how to get rid of the crime!"
"My aunt doesn't need to worry about how I get off the crime. My aunt should think about how to keep my father's heart!" Jin Xi pretended to be mysterious and raised the letter from the second wife in his hand. Don't worry!"
He Huan's face turned pale, Jin Xi didn't want to meddle in her business, and went out on her own, but He Huan grabbed her arm and said in a crying voice, "Please save my life!"
Jin Xi looked at He Huan speechlessly, she didn't say anything yet, He Huan was so frightened, if she found out that the second wife had brought Zhou Bohai and two aunts here, wouldn't He Huan be scared to death?Where did this person's previous self-confidence go?
"I know a big secret, and it will definitely help the girl get rid of the crime. I beg the girl to help me too." Determined that Jin Xi is her life-saving straw, He Huan tightly grabbed Jin Xi's arm, not letting her go.Seeing Pearl approaching from afar, she withdrew her hands quickly as if grabbing coals, muttered a few words in a low voice, turned and hid behind the pillar.
Pearl came over and saw Jin Xi hurriedly saluted with a smile, "Miss, can you see my aunt?"
"What is she, is it worth my watching?" Jin Xi was furious, staring at Pearl, "Which decent girl wants to watch Auntie? If you don't understand the rules, get out early, don't let me kick you on the head, it's easy to say Not nice."
Pearl's face was swollen and red, but in the blink of an eye, she recovered as before, and she left with a smile.Jin Xi stared at her all the way out of the yard before turning to look for Hehuan, there was no trace of Hehuan behind the pillar.
When Hehuan sees pearls, he seems to avoid cats and mice?The more Jin Xi returns to Lianxiangwu, the more she thinks about He Huan's words, the more wrong she is. What does it mean that Pearl wants to harm her?Although Pearl is good-looking, it is still a bit better than ordinary, and it can't catch Zhou Bohai's eyes.If Acacia is harmed, what can she gain?
It seemed that He Huan became weird when he came back from the Anyang Marquis Mansion. Jin Xi called Ai Mama and asked, "The day I went to Anyang Marquis Mansion, when did Auntie and Pearl come back?"
Mama Ai thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but Jin Feng, who just came back from outside, said: "It was about dinner time, and she and I entered the mansion at the same time. Pearl even yelled at me a few words because I didn't give way."
"She was arguing with you?" Jin Xi was surprised. Although Pearl was arrogant, she knew how powerful Jin Feng was, and she usually avoided it, but she dared to argue with Jin Feng that day?
Jin Feng also recalled, frowned and thought for a moment: "As soon as the girl reminded me, I felt that Pearl's behavior that day was intentional, as if reminding me to pay attention to her. And..." After a pause, Jin Feng turned The hesitation on board turned into determination, "Acacia was probably not in that sedan chair at the time, and the women carrying the sedan chair had no strength on their feet, so there must be no one in the sedan chair."
Jin Xi didn't speak for a while, no wonder He Huan said that she could exonerate herself, it seems that she found something in Anyang Marquis Mansion.
Jinfeng took out the portrait painted by Jinxi from her bosom, and put it on the table, "The little girl that the girl asked me to check was called Cao'er, she was Lily's cousin, she fell into the pond and drowned the day before yesterday."
Jin Xi smiled wryly. She had expected that the Anyang Marquis Mansion would wipe out the grass and roots, but she just saved a little bit of luck and wanted to get ahead of her. Knowing something she didn't expect, she was still a step behind.Now she only has the Acacia card in her hand!Hope this card has enough points, don't let her down! "Can you find out when Hehuan came back?"
Without waiting for Jinfeng to speak, Magpie stepped forward and said with a smile: "Leave this to the servants, the servants in the house are still familiar with it."
Jin Xi nodded, it was indeed more appropriate for the magpie to handle this matter.Magpie is worthy of being a famous bag inquiring, and he came back within less than a stick of incense: "That day after Pearl came back, she didn't go out again, and my aunt didn't show up. She went out to buy rouge with my aunt at noon the next day, and came back within a meal. My aunt came and went in a sedan chair, she seemed to be in a bad mood when she left, she didn't say anything, but when she came back, she was in a good mood, and she gave a tip to the gatekeeper."
Jin Xi and Jin Feng looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of understanding in each other's eyes. He Huan is so bold, dare to use this kind of blindfold to cover up his whereabouts, and he won't return at night?Isn't she afraid that Zhou Bohai will look for her in the room?
Recalling that Zhou Bohai came back from Anyang Marquis Mansion that day, stayed in the study for a while and then left the mansion, and he did not return all night.Jin Xi's doubts became a little more serious. Could it be that He Huan's courage was because he knew Zhou Bohai's whereabouts in advance?
This thought was just a flash, and she immediately denied it. If He Huan had this ability, she would not be coerced by her maidservant.The more he thought about it, the more he lost his mind, so Jinxi simply changed into a men's outfit and went out to find Tang Tiancai for some interest.
The shop in the capital city has been open for more than three months. Tang Tiancai sent someone to deliver a letter a few days ago, saying that it is a successful business and has made a lot of money. When he comes back these two days to replenish the stock, he has to get back the dry dividends first.
Cooperating with someone like Qin Xiao, I feel uneasy about putting money in my pocket, let alone holding it in my hands.
As soon as he entered the gate of Tang's house, Jin Xi was dumbfounded. Tang Tiancai was watching the loading of cars. A group of people who looked like guards were loading the cars in an orderly manner. More than a dozen cars had already been loaded. Nearly a hundred boxes and cages were neatly stacked on the ground. It bears the wax seal of the naval yamen.Seeing Jinxi, Tang Tiancai rushed over and said with a smile, "Why is the second boss here? It's chaotic here, go to the house and drink tea!"
"You didn't want to leave overnight, did you?" Jin Xi looked at the dark and thin Tang Tiancai in surprise, her eyeballs almost fell out.To say that Tang Tiancai is dark and thin is just compared with him before, although he is still fat, but he is a few rounds thinner than when he first saw him on the passenger ship. "Will the surname Qin give you food?"
According to Jin Xi's understanding of Tang Tiancai, there is only one possibility for him to become so thin.
Tang Tiancai suddenly twitched, "No... no, Mr. Qin is very kind to the villain. The villain... is engaged!"
Jin Xi's eyeballs really fell out now, everyone said that women are the ones who please themselves, and it turns out that men also have this problem.
"Which girl is so unlucky?" Jin Xi smiled and said, "When will you get married, I will give you a big red envelope!"
Tang Tiancai's face turned red like a monkey's buttocks, "Master Qin hired me on behalf of the villain. She is the second daughter of the owner of the famous calligraphy and painting shop Qing Yunxuan in the capital, and the Liao family. She is fifteen this year. She is very gentle and virtuous. My parents also like it very much." She set a day for the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month."
"Who will be your Yuelao?" Jin Xi screamed, feeling that she had misheard.Tang Tianji repeated it again, Jin Xi opened his palm and shook it twice in front of his eyes, then stretched out his hand to pick up a small piece of meat on Tang Tiancai's arm, twisted it half a circle, Tang Tiancai screamed like a pig, Jin Xi finally He breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't a dream, how could it be more bizarre than a dream?
Jin Xi regained his composure, and immediately said like a cannonball: "Marriage matters, matters of a lifetime, can you listen to him? Besides being scheming, what else would that guy do? Did you see that Miss Liao with your own eyes? You Don't be fooled by someone surnamed Qin..."
"Second boss...you...don't say that about Mr. Qin! Mr. Qin is not what you think!" Tang Tiancai stomped her feet anxiously, and kept winking at Jin Xi. Jin Xi's justice value will soar, how could he even notice? These, he slapped him fiercely on the arm and said angrily: "Did you agree indiscriminately just to hug his thick legs, thinking that it doesn't matter if you can have three wives and four concubines anyway? You don't even think about how much Miss Liao Poor, you have traveled so far to marry Anyang, you don't want to treat him well at all!"
Thinking of the third girl, Jin Yue, who was taken away by the Yun family, Jin Xi turned towards Tang Tiancai with anger, "Men are bastards, they eat from the bowl and look at the pot, they are self-righteous when they have a few stinky money, and there is no good thing !"
Tang Tiancai felt that she was more wronged than Dou E. It was obvious that her father was worried about his business, so she secretly went to the capital to visit him, and ran into her long-lost friend Liao Cheng, and the two set up a family for their children.She also felt that Qin Xiao had a noble status, and it would be honorable to ask him to be a matchmaker, so she settled the marriage.How did it come to Ms. Zhou's mouth, as if he was going to abduct and sell a woman from a good family?
"Take it easy at Erdong's house. This is what Mr. Qin asked me to bring to you. It's what you like to eat!" Tang Tiancai saw that the man standing at the door in the inner room was getting worse and worse. The food box on the table was stuffed into Jin Xi's hands, and she really wanted to gag her mouth with a piece of candied fruit.Auntie, you don't want your life, I want it too!
"Who wants his stinky stuff..." Jin Xi was furious and threw a box full of candied fruit to the ground.Tang Tiancai rolled her eyes and was about to play dead.Jin Xi was even angrier seeing his soft-hearted appearance, just as he stretched out his hand to grab his front and continued to scold him, he heard someone grinding his teeth behind him.
With such a familiar voice, Jin Xi's head buzzed, and he ran out the door as fast as he could, but someone grabbed him by the collar from behind.
