Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 129 Finding Evidence
When Rong Shui returned to the city, he first sorted out his thoughts. The reason why Zhou Jiakun was able to find the same box and jewelry as Huchangzhai this time was not because there were two copies of his own things.

Since it belonged to his own mansion, there must be some clues. Rong Shui unconsciously walked to the gate of Zhou's mansion, and saw that the gate was closed tightly.

oops!I am also stupid, could I still count on Zhou Jiakun to invite me in to find evidence?Annoyed in my heart, if he finds out, I will be even more vigilant!
After thinking about it, he was about to leave, but suddenly saw two people coming out from the side door of the Zhou Mansion, a servant and a maid, they were chatting nonsense about something.

Rong Shui thought for a while, then went in and hid behind the pillar to listen secretly.

The little maid was laughing with the young servant: "Okay, okay! Don't give it away! The manager should scold you when he finds out that you are lazy."

The servant twisted the servant girl's arm and said with a smile, "Ying'er, I miss you so much that I can't see you for a day. It's not easy to sneak over to see you while the manager is away. People will leave as soon as they see you."

The little maid also complained in a very reluctant tone: "I'm not thinking of you, but today the second lady is in a hurry to send me to buy pearls, jade bracelets and jewelry boxes, saying that the master is coming to the room tonight, so I need to dress up nicely." .”

The servant was not happy: "It's not the same if you go later, the second lady is really annoying, why do you have to buy pearls, jade bracelets and some boxes today? Aren't these trivial items used to be handed over to the housekeeper for purchase?"

The servant girl replied: "These things were bought by the housekeeper together. In our house, there was one for every lady in the house. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the second wife of Zhao Ershang took some precious jewelry at the master's order. Yesterday even the jewelry box was taken away, and the second wife was uncomfortable and complained to the master, so the master rewarded him with an ingot and said that he would ask the madam to pick another one."

The little maid smiled sweetly, gave another kiss to the servant, and hurriedly left to say goodbye: "Go back quickly, I'll call you after I buy something, otherwise there will be no place to put the second lady's new pearl earrings later." I'm going to scold someone."

After finishing talking, the young servant was even more dissatisfied: "The jewelry box can be bought anywhere, so it won't take so long, right?"

The little maid said: "That's not okay! The second lady said that she was used to it before and wanted to buy the original one. I asked the manager and found out that it is sold on West Street, but it is said that it has to be made to order. I just went out early today. It seems that I can let him buy it." Make it now."

After speaking, he ran away and disappeared at the corner of the street. The servant closed the door and went back to the house, missing a figure who disappeared with the little maid.

Rong Shui was originally bored listening to the flirting and cursing of the two servants of the Zhou Mansion, but he felt more and more wrong when he listened to it. The coincidences in the words were surprisingly similar to the evidence Rong Shui Yao was looking for.

What small boxes, precious jewelry, and even the timing are surprisingly similar, after careful association, Rong Shui gave the answer in his heart.

At first, when Zhou Jiakun hired Shanhu, he collected some valuable jewelry from his concubine, but yesterday when Zhou Jiakun sued Shanhu, he took out the same box from a concubine in order to forge evidence, and casually framed Shanhu and said that the box was Huchang The villager offered him a bribe, but he had no choice but to accept it.

So Rong Shui naturally wouldn't let go of this excellent opportunity to follow the little maid.

The little maid Xu was in order to go back to meet her lover earlier, and after a while, she walked to the shopping street in the west of the city. There were a few big words "exquisite carpenter workshop" written on it. When she walked in, she heard the little maid shouting for the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper! Go and call the shopkeeper for me, and tell me that I am from the Zhou residence."

When Xiaoer heard the name of the Zhou Mansion, he immediately asked to wait in the upper seat in the hall, served tea cups, and asked, "Why didn't your housekeeper come to buy things today? Ask this girl to run errands?"

The little girl snorted softly, but didn't answer, Xiao Er got bored and entertained the others.

Rong Shui pretended to be a shopping customer, looked here and there, and saw that this is a shop specializing in wooden furniture, accessories and utensils. The items are displayed in the hall, which looks exactly like the name of the shop, extremely exquisite and beautiful.

She casually picked up a jewelry box and looked at it. She closed her eyes and recalled the appearance of the box presented by Zhou Jiakun in the court that day. The styles were different, but there was the same carving technique of pear branches on the lock. This carving skill is very likely. It's from the same person!

She became excited, and walked slowly as if unintentionally walking to the place where the little maid and the shopkeeper were talking. Although they couldn't hear the two of them clearly, the general content was nothing more than what the little maid sympathized with Lang just now.

I don't know what the two of them said, but the servant girl's voice suddenly increased: "What! You said that tomorrow will be the earliest? My second wife will use it to pack things tonight, how can I wait until tomorrow? No matter, you have to make it for me today! You have to ask for the style customized by my Zhou family!"

After speaking, he left the shop angrily in two or three steps. Seeing her go far away, Rong Shui walked into the frowning shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, I just overheard that girl saying that you can customize the style of your box? Does she like this?" It must be very good if I like it, can you make me a box like that girl tomorrow morning, I will take it back and ask my sister if she likes it, so I can order a batch for my family members."

As soon as Rong Shui finished speaking, the shopkeeper waved his hands again and again: "This girl can't do it! Let alone the people in Zhou's mansion urged us so eagerly that our master craftsmen couldn't do it, just make his box It’s also a style that our carpenter’s workshop turned into Zhou’s custom-made, other houses can’t sell it or make it, if you want to order a box, you can go there to see other favorite styles.”

Unexpectedly, when Rong Shui heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Why does the shopkeeper say that? Why can't you sell me the ones customized for his Zhou family? Could it be that the box is engraved with his Zhou?" The family name, so others can’t use it?”

The shopkeeper looked at the persistent girl in front of him, and persuaded him: "The girl doesn't know something. Our exquisite carpentry workshop is a wooden box customized for private houses. Nowadays, rich families like to use unique things. We provide Jiangcheng according to this demand. Some of the well-known families custom-made all kinds of furniture and wood carvings, and each family has a different shape. In order to show the uniqueness, the name of the house will be signed on the products, and they will no longer be sold by others.”

Rong Shui was very excited, it really didn't take much effort to find nowhere to come!
The shopkeeper said strangely again: "Girl, you are really amazing. Usually for the sake of beauty, we will engrave the customer's surname in the most hidden place. Even our employer doesn't know this, but how did you guess it?"

Rong Shui would not say that this is what she expected, but just said what she most wanted to achieve!With this engraving, everything is easy to handle!Perhaps Zhou Jiakun never dreamed that the evidence he found would harm him!

But it wasn't enough, more conclusive proof was needed, so Rongshui rolled his eyes and started acting again in front of the shopkeeper.

She sighed and said to the shopkeeper: "Hey... what a pity, the wooden boxes used by the famous Zhou Mansion must be extremely exquisite, so let's just forget if they can't be sold, don't tell me I can't even appreciate them when I saw them last time?" ?"

The shopkeeper is in a dilemma, why is this girl so obsessed with the wooden box used by the Zhou Mansion?However, he didn't have any doubts, and replied helplessly: "Girl, you just heard that if I have finished products here, I will let the people from the Zhou Mansion take them away. The boxes we customize for these big mansions are usually When the housekeeper comes to place a large number of orders and send them all together, there will be no surplus, and this time, the second wife of the Zhou Mansion came here to order just one."

Rong Shui thought, this is not acceptable, at least one finished product must be obtained from the carpenter's workshop, and it will be used as evidence to expose Zhou Jiakun tomorrow.

Feeling distressed for a while, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, and said: "If the girl is just looking at it, there should be a drawing left by our carpenter for you to look at."

Rong Shui nodded quickly and urged the shopkeeper to take it out for her. The shopkeeper turned around to take it out, and after a while, he came to Rongshui with a yellowed manuscript paper in his hand and said, "Girl, this is what our carpenter did for the Zhou Mansion several years ago. The original picture of the custom-made wooden box, look at this style, do you like it? If the girl orders a lot, we can redesign another box shape based on this style."

The shopkeeper in the back recommended this product, but Rong Shui didn't listen to it. Holding the manuscript in his hand, he closed his eyes and compared it with the wooden box that he glanced at that day. Suddenly, his heart was full of surprises!
This is it!It was exactly the same style of box, and her memory would never make a mistake, so it was hopeful that Shanhu could be rescued now!
Rong Shui smiled at the shopkeeper, and begged: "Shopkeeper, I like this wooden box so much, can you lend me this blueprint today, I will take it back and show it to my sister, if she is also happy, in a couple of days I will come to your house to place an order."

In broad daylight, the charming and charming girl, the shopkeeper was almost dazed by Rong Shui's smile, and was struggling: "According to the rules in our shop, it's not allowed, but the girl... is so happy, then I'll let you go!" Take it away, and return it earlier."

Rong Shui achieved his goal, stood up and walked in front of the shopkeeper, brushed his body gently, saluted, carefully packed the drawing into his purse, and then opened the door to leave.

It was not early at this time, and seeing the setting sun was about to enter the valley, the stars could not move overnight.

Rong Shui returned to Rong's house worried, wondering if Zhao Yu and Er Qiangzi had any clues about how to buy evidence from the Ansha Pavilion. After dinner, he went back to his room. He opened the door and went out.

Er Qiangzi was full of smiles, he turned around from the moonlight, and said happily to Rong Shui: "Miss Rong, my husband and I successfully persuaded the Ansha Pavilion, and they promised to give us evidence that Zhou Jiakun hired them to rob prisons and assassinate prisoners."

Rong Shui's heart finally let go, this Zhao Yu really has two brushes!
Er Qiangzi said again with difficulty: "But...Miss Rong and the others want 800 taels of silver, and Mr. Zhao has tried his best to lower the price..."

Rong Shui said indifferently: "It's okay, come with me to get the money."
