Chapter 30 Intelligence
Aunt Wan looked at Lu Huan and said, "Young lady, do you know about the Ke family?"
"Who in Shengjing doesn't know the name of the Ke family?" Yin Zheng pretended to be surprised, "I heard that the Ke family's porcelain is used in the Taishi's mansion. What a sight. It turns out that grandma works in the Ke's mansion. So decent."
"They are all slaves, no matter what is decent or not." Aunt Wan said modestly, but her expression was a little proud.
Lu Zhen smiled faintly.
Mama Wan is certainly not an ordinary slave.
Her husband Wan Fu is Ke Chengxing's personal servant.
Wan Fu has been following Ke Chengxing for more than twenty years. In other words, Wan Fu watched Lu Rou marry into the Ke family. After Lu Rou died, Wan Fu could not have known the inside story.
Lu Zhen originally wanted to start with Wan Fu, but this man was cautious by nature and couldn't find a way to get close, so he had to turn his attention to Wan Fu's wife, Nanny Wan.
Since Nanny Wan revealed her identity and learned that Yin Zheng was from the same hometown, she became more casual and intimate with her. He also talked about the purchase of plum blossoms today, and murmured: "The plum blossoms have fallen apart, and the pancakes made will not taste right. If I ask about it later, my wife will be angry, fearing that I will be scolded again."
Lu Zhuo had finished pricking all the gold needles and was sitting on a chair waiting for the effects of the needles to take effect. Hearing this, he smiled and asked: "Isn't it that Grandma Ke is gentle and tolerant, how can she care about a few plum blossoms? Grandma must be too worried. "
"Gentle and gentle?" Aunt Wan laughed out loud, "Where did you hear this from? That person has nothing to do with gentleness, gentleness and gentleness."
Lu Zhen's eyes flashed, and he asked doubtfully: "Isn't it right? I heard that Grandma Ke has a good character and is a rare beauty. Could it be that others are trying to trick me?"
Aunt Wan looked at her and was about to speak when she suddenly remembered something and lowered her voice: "Young lady may have heard well, but the person in the mouth of others is probably Grandma Ke at the front."
“Who’s in the lead?”
"Yes, the grandma at the front is the one with outstanding character and appearance. It's a pity that she didn't have any luck, so she left shortly after passing the door. She got the advantage of this one for nothing." Aunt Wan seemed to be very interested in the new wife of the Ke family. Not very satisfied, and quite resentful in his words.
Lu Zhen asked calmly: "You left not long after you passed the door? Are you sick or something?"
"Yes." Aunt Wan sighed, "I don't know why I got mad, but I was fine before. Maybe I didn't want to drag the uncle down, so I threw myself into the pool at a moment's notice. What a good person, and he treats his servants well. ,Pity."
She really felt sorry for Lu Rou, but it made Lu Yan's eyes darken.
Mrs. Ke said that Lu Rou failed to seduce the young master of Taishi Qi's house, so she became angry and threw herself into the pond. Nanny Wan said that Lu Rou was crazy and committed suicide because she didn't want to drag Ke Chengxing down.
The two have different calibers, which means that Grandma Wan is not aware of anything related to Grand Master Qi.
Why would Mrs. Ke hide this from her servants, unless there is something hidden?
Judging from the look on Wan’s face, she didn’t know the truth, and I’m afraid her husband Wan Fu didn’t reveal it to her.
The more concealed it is, the more fishy it is.
Lu Zhen glanced at Aunt Wan, and suddenly smiled: "Then Uncle Ke married this man not long after the death of the first lady? In this case, men are really ruthless."
“Who says it’s not the case?” Wan Wan felt sad. “My wife went there in June, and she will be preparing the new wife’s dowry gift in September. Even us servants feel chilled.”
As she was talking, she seemed to feel something was wrong, so she diverted the conversation to herself. At one moment, he said that his son was taught how to gamble by his friends a few days ago, which often made Wanfu angry. At another moment, he said that the new wife was a strict housekeeper and was very frugal with expenses from top to bottom. Besides, Mrs. Ke likes sweets and eats several squares of sweets on weekdays.
Having been talking like this in pieces for who knows how long, Grandma Wan suddenly felt that the pain on her ankle had become lighter. When she lowered her head, she saw that the swelling had completely subsided.
Lu Zhuo pulled out the golden needles from her ankle one by one, and applied a hot handkerchief on her ankle. Grandma Wan stood up and took a few steps, then she was overjoyed: "Sure enough, it doesn't hurt anymore!"
Yin Zheng smiled and asked for credit: "I just told you that my girl is very skilled in medicine and will not lie to you." Grandma Wan put on her shoes and socks, praised her endlessly, and thanked her again. Yin Zheng refused to accept her money and just smiled and pushed her out the door: "Mommy said we were from the same hometown, so why did she say thank you? It was fate that we met at the flower market today. There is no need to say anything vulgar. In the future, When you have nothing to do, just come here and chat with us."
Wan Yan wanted to thank you again, but it was not too early to see it. The plum blossoms withered after a long time, and laughed with Yinzheng, so he went to the basket.
After Aunt Wan left, Du Changqing, who was lying in front of the table, looked at Lu Huan and groaned: "I didn't expect you to really know how to acupuncture. But after working for so long, I didn't receive a single coin. Doctor Lu really regards money as such." Dung.”
Lu Zhen ignored him, opened the felt curtain, and went straight into the small courtyard behind the medicine shop.
Yin Zheng glared at him and followed him in.
Du Changqing rolled his eyes and jumped in anger: "Why are you angry at me? It's inexplicable."
Lu Zong entered the small courtyard and walked to the back room.
The window is open, and the rugged plum branches reflect the window eaves, like a simple picture scroll.
Yin Zheng followed from behind, closed the door, and looked at Lu Zhuo's face: "Girl."
"You heard it all." Lu Yan said calmly: "Mother Wan said that Grandma Ke left in June."
People in Changwu County said that it was March when Lu Qian received the news of Lu Rou's death.
Perhaps, that was not an ominous letter recording the news of Lu Rou's death.
Also for example…
It was a letter asking for help.
Yin Zheng thought for a while: "But what Mother Wan meant was that she didn't know the inside story of Grandma Ke's illness. She also said that before the new Grandma came in, Mrs. Ke was afraid of making the new wife unhappy, so she removed the old lady's old ones in the yard. All the people have changed. Girl, are we looking for those old people now?"
“No need,” Lu Yan said.
Since the person has been replaced, it shows that the Ke family wants to cover up the truth. I think those who knew the truth are no longer alive. And those who were lucky enough to survive mostly had little knowledge and could not help much.
You have to start with the people around Ke Chengxing.
Lu Zhen was silent for a moment and then asked: "I heard from Grandma Wan today that Wan Fu's son was obsessed with gambling a few days ago?"
Yin Zheng nodded: "Yes, I heard that my son was beaten twice because of this. Now he is sleeping well and studying at home."
Lu Zhen said "hmm" and asked again: "Yin Zheng, do you know how to gamble?"
"I can." Yin Zheng nodded without thinking, "When I was in the building, I had to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, chicken, and wine. Not only did I know how to gamble, but sometimes I had to learn how to cheat those stupid young men out of their money. Go out of your way to make a game..." At this point, she suddenly froze for a moment and looked at Lu Yan, "The girl wants to..."
The wind blows, and the plum branches sway outside the window.
Lu Zhen looked at it intently for a while and then looked away.
She said: "Yinzheng, I want to ask you for a favor."
