Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 69 Agarwood Shavings

Listening to Ali's words, Qin Su's brows were already furrowed.

Zuo Siniang's poems were found in Qin Yanbai's residence, and that's all. Isn't it a good thing that there is a concubine love between the concubine of the Qin family and the concubine of the Zuo family?Why did the Zhong family close the Xichuang study right after that?
Could it be that this matter is also related to Qin Yanzhao.

Qin Su pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

There are two offshoots of the Zuo family who seem to be attached to the Xiao family. According to her previous life, the two Zuo Lang and Qin Yanzhao are quite close...

In an instant, the cold wind outside the window swept across her heart, not only blowing away the small piece of mystery, but also made her feel cold.

Qin Yanzhao's incident involved not only Qin Yanli and Qin Yanbai brothers and sisters, but also the Zuo family's handwriting.

Zhong's attack was so ruthless, perhaps it was also because of the Zuo family.

If you think about it boldly, the "worries" mentioned in Qin Yanzhao's poems may... have something to do with Zuo Siniang.

In an instant, even Qin Su's hands and feet were icy cold.

The Zuo family actually started plotting against the Qin family so early on. What role did Qin Shifang play in this?
"This matter can no longer be said to others." After thinking for a while, Qin Su said decisively, looking at Ali expressionlessly.

Ali's complexion changed slightly, and she lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, girl. I shouldn't talk nonsense."

Qin Su hurriedly slowed down her tone, and said in a harmonious voice: "I don't mean that. What I mean is, it's great that you can find out about these things. Only after you hear these things, you can only tell me , can’t tell others anymore, you know?”

Hearing this, Ah Li's complexion recovered a bit, and she nodded hurriedly, "I see."

Qin Su smiled at her: "Ah Sheng, you can go for a walk if you have time, and listen to what he has to say. You are from the same village, so it's okay to get closer."

Ah Li nodded happily, and smiled again: "By the way, Ah Sheng also asked me to thank the girl."

"Thank me? What can I thank you for?" Qin Su asked, but his heart was clear.

Ah Li looked at her with wide eyes and said, "Because the girl helped brother Ah Sheng. He said that he had been staying in the stable before, and the work he did was dirty and tiring. Later, it was the girl who asked my grandfather to thank him for saving his life." , As a result, he was transferred to the concierge that day. My grandfather said that it was because the girl remembered him, and told him to remember the girl's kindness."

"I see." Qin Su said with a smile.

Back then she helped Ah Sheng out of her own will, and it would be best if Ah Sheng could remember.He was working in the outer court, so Qin Su couldn't ask for more help from him in the future.

"Tell him if you have time, I really need his help with some things." Qin Su said softly.

Ali nodded repeatedly, her big eyes rolled, and a rare sly look appeared on her face: "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, the girl."

It seems that although her mind is pure, Ali is not stupid at all. She has been in the Qin Mansion these days, and she should have understood a lot of things during the period.

Qin Su smiled and stretched out her finger on her forehead, then said softly again: "Mr. Qingsi is not something to eat, but a person's name. The so-called Qingsi can also be used to refer to a woman's hair. But you can't say that." Tell others, even A Sheng is not allowed to tell, only you know it.” She took out a small cloth bag, handed it to A Li, and said with a smile: “Here, here is some money, if you want to eat Qingsi plum sticks, ask A Sheng to go outside to buy and eat." After a pause, he continued: "Also, tell A Sheng not to mention Qingsi Jun's affairs to others."

Ali nodded repeatedly, and felt her hands sink when she took the cloth bag, knowing that there were no less than twenty coins in it, she quickly said with a smile, "Thank you, girl."

Qin Su smiled and said, "This will be the case in the future."

Ah Li nodded with a smile on her face, and grinned to look at the plaster beside her, her face was full of joy.

Qin Su looked at her back with a smile on his face.

****************************************
Dusk covered the window lattice, and the white rustling window paper was covered with a very light yellow layer, reminiscent of the scrolls that have been placed for a long time, the once white as new, gradually faded away in the time, and finally only the The old thinness and brittleness, when the wind blows, it will be lost to ashes.

Mrs. Wu stood alone by the window, her eyes fixed on the dark yellow window paper, the flames at the front of the bamboo branch in her hand were dancing, but she didn't get into the candlestick at the side, but hung in the air.That trembling red light flickered in and out of the room.

"Ma'am, Jiang Yu is back." The maid's soft voice came from outside the door.

That young and moving voice was unpleasant for no reason.

Madam Wu frowned, and the flame on the bamboo tip flickered a few times immediately.

"Tell her to come in." She ordered lightly, put the bamboo branch on the candlestick, and lit the half of the white candle on it.

The door curtain was gently opened, and Jiang Yu stepped across the threshold briskly. She was dressed in a blue cloth dress, and her jet-black hair was combed neatly.

After entering the room, she sent the little servant girl by the door to stand in the corridor, and then she stood in front of Mrs. Wu with a solemn face, her long eyebrows were pressed down, and her dark brown eyes were as cold as ice. cold.

"What's the matter? There's no movement in the west courtyard?" Mrs. Wu asked, glanced at her indifferently, then brought the long bamboo branch close to her lips, and blew out the flame with a "poof".

Jiang Yu bowed slightly, and lowered her voice to report: "As Madam expected, Madam Xiyuan sent people to seal the courtyard and was searching the whole courtyard. There was a lot of commotion. Now the residences of Sanlang and Sanniang have been locked. The east building was moved, and one was moved to the wing room of Xihuaju..."

She described the situation in the west courtyard in detail, and then said: "...the lady of the east courtyard has also heard about this now, so she also said that she would ask someone to search the east courtyard. She said that it was the lady who said it. It's the time of filial piety, and all courts must strictly abide by the etiquette rules, and absolutely nothing will happen." After saying this, she lowered her head slightly and stood with her hands tied.

The room was quiet for a while, and the figure of Mrs. Wu standing by the window just moved.

"Well, I see." She said indifferently, then walked away from the window, went to the side shelf, picked up the bronze Boshan stove on the top of the shelf, and looked at it carefully. No more sound.

Jiang Yu has been with her master and servant for many years and knows her temperament very well. Seeing her holding up the incense burner, she knows that this conversation is over and she should step back.

But after thinking about it, this search is a big deal, but Lin's work is always messy. If Dongxuan Pavilion is found, the people under them will be in a difficult situation, and Mrs. Wu must give a regulation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu put down her raised foot again, pondered for a while, and said softly: "Now I still need to ask Madam for instructions, in case Madam Dongyuan sends someone to Dongxuan Pavilion, how should I answer."
