The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 62 Building Xuanyuan Pavilion (2)
Mrs. Lin is Da Furen's nanny. When Da Furen married to An Guohou's Mansion, this Granny Lin came with Da Furen as a dowry. Although she was a servant, Xi Zhuqin didn't dare to neglect her, so she gave her three points of courtesy.

"My maidservant Hong Ling has met Miss San." Hong Ling stood in front of Xi Zhuqin and saluted politely.

"Well, get up." Xi Zhuqin responded lightly, telling Hong Ling to get up.

Seeing that Xi Zhuqin has accepted Hong Ling, Mrs. Lin has no dissatisfaction with Hong Ling, and this errand is over.

"Miss San, since this person has been brought here, this old slave will go back to Taoyuan to serve Madam."

Xi Zhuqin gave up lightly: "Go, don't make mother wait."

Mrs. Lin turned and left the Xingyuan, and Xi Zhuqin also brought her maid Hongling into the inner room.

This Hongling belonged to the maidservant of the red character generation, she was originally a second-class maid in An Guohou's mansion, so she was not qualified to serve the lady in the mansion personally, now that Lianxiu was executed, the eldest lady promoted her to Xingyuan to serve Xi Zhuqin personally, Her status can also be regarded as changing from a second-class maid to a first-class maid.

Xi Zhuqin raised her eyebrows and glanced at Hongling. This maid has clear eyes, she looks like a smart character, the eldest lady is really good at picking people, so she put such a maid by her side to monitor her every move from time to time.

"From now on, you just take care of my daily life, and you are not allowed to touch the things in my room without my permission." Xi Zhuqin lightly warned Hongling, with no superfluous expression on her face.

Hong Ling lowered her head, and just listened patiently. After Xi Zhuqin finished explaining, she replied carefully: "Yes, Miss San, this slave must obey your warning."

"Okay, it's none of your business for now, just go down." Xi Zhuqin told Hongling to back down.

"Yes, Miss San." Hong Ling blessed Xi Zhuqin again, before exiting the room lightly.

After Hong Ling left, Xi Zhuqin sat quietly in the room alone, his face was instantly clouded, and his eyes gleamed with hatred.

In Ziyuexuan, Mo Yu learned the news that Second Aunt was poisoned to death, so she hurried to inform Xi Wanqing.

"Miss, there is a commotion in the front yard. The second aunt was poisoned by the green mandala flower today, and she has already died of the poison. The Hou Ye finally found out that it was poisoned by the servant girl Lianxiu. The remaining green mandala flowers were found in the room." Mo Yu told Xi Wanqing all the news she had heard in one breath.

Xi Wanqing sat firmly on the reclining chair, without looking up at Mo Yu, then she opened her red lips lightly, and whispered softly: "Do you believe that a maid who has a good life will poison someone who is imprisoned to death for no reason?" Second aunt."

Mo Yu shook his head without any hesitation, and replied, "I don't believe it."

Xi Wanqing knew that Xi Zhuqin was probably the most scheming person in the Marquis of An Guo's Mansion, but she was so vicious that she poisoned her own mother and blamed her maid.

Seeing that Xi Wanqing was thinking alone and kept silent, Mo Yu asked, "Miss, could it be that you suspect that Miss San killed her biological mother, and then blamed her maid, Lianxiu."

Xi Wanqing nodded without replying, indicating that Mo Yu's guess was exactly what she had in mind.

Mo Yu's eyes widened in shock, killing his biological mother, how vicious this person is.

Xi Wanqing thought, the death of the second aunt, with Xi Zhuqin's distorted personality, will definitely impose all the guilt on her again, she is not a soft persimmon, anyone can pinch it, just be so honest Actually waiting for Xi Zhuqin to harm her.

"Mo Yu will accompany me to meet Mo Yan tomorrow. It seems that we have to prepare and preemptively strike." Xi Wanqing said to Mo Yu.

"Yes, miss." Mo Yu stood upright in front of Xi Wanqing, just like a female guard.

On the second day, Xi Wanqing left Lian Xin in Ziyuexuan. She and Mo Yu changed into men's clothes, and left the An Guohou's mansion.

Xi Wanqing and Mo Yu went straight to the east gate of Hanyang City after leaving the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion.

According to the address left by Mo Yan, Xi Wanqing quickly found the shop under Mo Yan's order.

As soon as Xi Wanqing entered the shop, she saw that the decoration inside the shop was almost done, and all the designs in the shop were made according to the drawings she drew.

"Miss, you are here." When Mo Yan saw Xi Wanqing coming in, he went out to greet him. Although Xi Wanqing was wearing men's clothes at the moment, Mo Yu was behind her. Mo Yu and Mo Yan had been together for more than ten years, even his younger sister Changed into men's clothing, Mo Yan could recognize it at a glance, so Mo Yan could naturally guess that Xi Wanqing had also changed into men's clothing.

"En." Xi Wanqing nodded and followed Mo Yan to the private room on the second floor.

"Sit." Xi Wanqing entered the private room and sat down first, then motioned Mo Yan and Mo Yu to sit down.

After the siblings sat down, Xi Wanqing looked at Mo Yan and praised without hesitation: "Mo Yan, you did a great job, I am very satisfied."

Mo Yan is a loyal and honest person, he was a little embarrassed to be praised by Xi Wanqing, and replied solemnly: "This is what Mo Yan is in charge of."

"En." Xi Wanqing said kindly, then took out a stack of banknotes from her bosom, handed them to Mo Yan, and said, "You take these 2 taels of banknotes and build a weapon according to the blueprint of the weapon I gave you. Batch the weapons and let the shop open as soon as possible.”

"Yes, Miss." Mo Yan took the bank note.

"Miss, this shop is about to open, and it hasn't been named yet." Mo Yu reminded Xi Wanqing.

Xi Wanqing thought about it, she had to choose a good name for this store, this was the first important thing she did here, so she must not be sloppy.

"Mo Yan, go and get your brush and ink, and a piece of high-quality rice paper." Xi Wanqing thought for a moment, then ordered Mo Yan.

"Yes, miss." Mo Yan got up and went to get pen, ink and rice paper.

After a while, Mo Yan came back with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He placed the rice paper neatly on the table in front of Xi Wanqing, and then finished the ink for Xi Wanqing.

Xi Wanqing rolled up his sleeves, picked up the brush, stained the tip of the brush with some ink, and adjusted the tone on the inkstone before writing on the paper.

I saw Xi Wanqing waving his hand, and on the white rice paper, the three big characters Xuanyuan Pavilion were completed.

Xi Wanqing's pen is powerful, the pen is like a dragon and snake, and the iron is drawn with a silver hook, and the three Xuanyuan Pavilions are portrayed magnificently.

"Miss, your handwriting is so beautiful." Mo Yu watched from the side, and the little girl admired Xi Wanqing.

After Xi Wanqing finished writing the signboard, she slowly put the brush on the inkstone.

"Let's call it Xuanyuan Pavilion."

"Xuanyuan Pavilion, a good name." Mo Yan repeated and praised.

After the ink was dry, Mo Yan put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then gave Xi Wanqing a small bundle.

"Miss, this is what you ordered me to do that day."

Xi Wanqing took the small bundle, and then slowly opened it. After opening the bundle, I saw a golden golden crossbow lying in the bundle. This crossbow was delicate and small, almost like a woman's hairpin. The arrow feathers and the three arrow feathers were also made of pure gold. In the package, besides the golden crossbow bolt, there was also a coil of rope as thin as silk. This was the cornice lock she asked Mo Yan to make for her.
