good wife

Chapter 71 The Fish Hooked
Jing smiled and said: "Why don't I help my sister embroider? Anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm free. It just so happens that there is still some fabric left over from you, and I am worried about what to embroider for you."

"Okay, okay. Let's go, let's get the flowers now." After speaking, Jingyi took Jingwei's hand and went straight to her yard.

Jingwei made a fool of herself, laughed and quarreled with Jingyi for a while, and then went back.

Jingyi looked at her back, and softly called: "Siqin!"

"Miss!"

"Follow me a little farther away. Yuan Xi said that Nanny Peng's skill is average, but her lightness kung fu is still good. Don't let her find out."

"Yes!" After saying that, he flew out.

Jingyi walked into the yard and looked at the chrysanthemums that the servants had just moved to their own yard, adding a few wisps of autumn color to the yard.Jingyi walked up to a white chrysanthemum, and gently slid over the slender petals with her hand.He whispered softly: "Blessing? Misfortune? It seems that the big fire last night may not be a good thing?"

Jing Wei went back to the house, and then summoned the maid beside her and ordered her to go out to find out something.I looked at the painting carefully several times.

There are two pictures in this painting, one is a plum blossom; the other is some auspicious cloud patterns, two symmetrical auspicious clouds, and a peony flower pattern in the middle.

Jing Wei poured out all the contents of the dowry, took out the layer of red silk that was the inner cushion, and placed a piece of folded paper underneath.Jingwei took it out and carefully compared it with the one Jingyi gave her.

After a while, the person I sent out to inquire about the news came back to report. As soon as I left, someone announced that it was Mother Peng who had come, and Jing Wei hurriedly let her in.Handed the two pieces of paper to Mother Peng for comparison.

"It's exactly the same! Where did you get it?" Peng Momo asked after comparing them.

"Jingyi took it from the old lady."

"Old lady? Are you sure?" Peng Momo looked skeptical.

Jing nodded slightly, "The person I just sent came back and said that Jingyi did greet the old lady this morning. She went empty-handed, but she came out with a piece of paper in her hand. People said that it seems that Jingyi is still very happy."

"Has anyone seen with their own eyes that this thing was given to her by the old lady?"

"That's not true. It is said that someone saw it and Jingyi took it in the outer room of Heshou Hall. At that time, the old lady was in the inner room and didn't see it."

Nanny Peng looked at Jingwei, and then looked at the two patterns again and again.Her eyes are dim, with exactly the same pattern, Jingyi is only seven years old, and she has only heard of her practicing calligraphy, but never heard of her painting.Looking at the pattern again, although it is simple, the lines are smooth. The peony painting is vivid and the coloring is very even.At first glance, it is made by someone who is good at painting, and it is definitely not something that a child can draw.After a while, she gave both patterns to Jingwei. "You take it first, at this time, wait for me to tell the master, and then make a decision!"

At night, a figure flew into Heshou Hall.

The man was dressed in night clothes, with a veil covering his face, and slowly approached the old lady's bedroom.

He took out a small short tube, pierced the window, inserted the short tube in, and blew with his mouth.

After a while, he gently pried open the door, and there were still candles outside. The two women, one lying on the table and the other lying on the ground, were obviously stunned.

The man in black took a candle, lifted the curtain and entered the room.He looked around, then put the candlestick on the long table, and walked slowly towards the old lady's bed.

The man in black glanced at the sleeping old lady, gently opened the small cabinet next to her bed, and searched carefully.

The man in black checked the old lady's dressing table and dowry carefully one by one, but he still found nothing, so he couldn't help being a little discouraged.Wanting to turn around and leave, but unwilling.Frowning tightly, he turned around and left the Crane Shoutang, without knowing where he was going.

As soon as the man in black left, he saw a figure lightly falling from the beam of the old lady's room, followed closely by the violinist!
Jingyi was sitting alone in the gazebo reading medical books, Haitang stood beside her, and said softly: "Miss, it's almost time to be ugly, go to sleep."

Jingyi shook her head and said softly, "Go to sleep first. I'll sleep later."

"Miss." Hai Tang wanted to persuade her again, but Jing Yi waved her hand, so she could only say: "The servant girl will bring you some hot soup again." After speaking, she took the tray on the stone table and walked back slowly go down.

Jingyi was wearing a black cloak, with a picture of butterflies playing peonies embroidered with gold thread on the back.

"Miss."

A sudden voice didn't frighten Jingyi, she didn't raise her head, her eyes were still looking at the pages in her hand, and asked softly, "What do you gain?"

"Then Nanny Peng sneaked into the Heshou Hall, as if looking for something, but she didn't find it."

"Have you found the person behind Nanny Peng?"

"The subordinates followed her in the afternoon and saw that she entered a place called 'Fugui Restaurant', went to a private room on the east side of the second floor, and waited for nearly half an hour before she came out. After she left, the servant saw A person came out of that private room. Miss, you would never have guessed who it would be?"

"Oh? Could it be the Bai family?"

"How did Miss know?" Si Qin was startled, a little unbelievable, this lady is really Sai Zhuge!Such a thing is actually a guess.

"Apart from Bai Shi, who else is there?" Jingyi didn't answer, but asked again.

"There is also a man wearing a black cloak. Unfortunately, when he came out, he lowered his head very low and wore a hat. The subordinates were afraid of being discovered and dared not go forward, so they didn't see the appearance of that man clearly."

"Then did he leave in a carriage, or on horseback?"

Si Qin was startled again, this young lady's mind is really delicate! "Miss Hui, the Bai family left on foot. The man left in an ordinary carriage."

"An ordinary carriage?" Jingyi murmured.

Jingyi glanced into the distance, and said: "Go back to the dormitory first, and then think about it carefully, what are the characteristics of that carriage and that man? Including the servants around him, is there anything special that attracts your attention?"

"Yes." Si Qin bowed her head in response, and disappeared like a ghost.

At this time, Haitang turned around from the corridor, saw Jingyi who was still reading in the gazebo, shook her head lightly, walked to the gazebo, and put a bowl of hot porridge on the tray in front of Jingyi's eyes.

"Miss, let's have some hot porridge first. It's getting cold, don't suffer from the cold anymore."

Jingyi put down the medical book, smiled at Haitang, reached out to pick up the bowl of porridge, scooped it up with a spoon, and gently put it in her mouth. "Sister Haitang's lotus seed porridge is delicious. It's soft, glutinous, sweet, and not greasy."

Haitang smiled: "It's good that Miss likes it. Drink it quickly and go to bed."
