Femme Beauty

"Have you found the medicine bowl and pot?" Wang Xifeng led her to the main hall, sat on the side seat and looked at the woman and girl kneeling below with cold eyes.When the nanny heard her asking, she knew that she wanted to see if something had happened to the medicine.

"It's still there." She glanced at the girl she brought over, and the little girl quickly handed the medicine pot and bowl to Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng didn't check these first, but asked the woman below, "This medicine has always been you boiled it,"

"Back to young mistress, I have always been the one who prescribed this anti-abortion medicine." Hearing what seemed to be a medicine check, the mother-in-law was very anxious.These days, she got the medicine, how could something happen.

"Is the dregs still there?" Wang Xifeng knew that this woman would not be at this time if she wanted to harm someone.

"I've checked, there's nothing special about it." The nanny who answered came from the palace and was familiar with these things.She also has doubts about this.According to the doctor's words, even full-term is also possible.How could it be red if it didn't touch anything that didn't move.In the morning, I talked about what I used at noon.

Wang Xifeng reluctantly picked up the medicine dregs that had been brought over, at this time Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian had already rushed over.Jia Lian walked through the side door, and Lin Ruhai went directly into the side room.

"What's going on?" Jia Lian felt her right eyelid twitching in the past few days, but she heard that something happened to her aunt before anything happened.The first thing that came to his mind was that someone had tampered with it.

Wang Xifeng squeezed the medicine dregs, moved them bit by bit, and then put his fingers in his mouth before others had time to stop him.She sniffed the bowl before Jia Lian came, and there was a very familiar smell in it.It was just that she couldn't remember it for a while, so she asked for the dregs of medicine.

"Hey! How can this be eaten casually, before the doctor comes over." Jia Lian took her finger out of her mouth, frowning.

"No, I just feel that there is a familiar smell at the bottom of the bowl, so let's see if there is any medicine dregs in it?" Wang Xifeng wiped her hands, took the medicine bowl from before, walked to the door, and carefully looked at the black dregs left at the bottom.The doctor is still on the road at this time, and it will take time to come here.

"You're not a doctor, how do you feel familiar?" Jia Lian shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was grateful for his wife's concern for his aunt.But it can't be like this, he walked over and took the bowl and handed it to Qiu Ju who was beside him: "Put it away, your grandma might want to be a doctor after seeing medical skills."

Before he took the bowl away, Wang Xifeng dipped some more and put it in his mouth.This time Jia Lian was really helpless, he said angrily: "Then tell me, what do you think it looks like?"

"It's so bitter!" Wang Xifeng stuck out her tongue instead of answering.Seeing her appearance, Jia Lian was annoyed: "Is there any sweet medicine?"

After Wang Xifeng rinsed his mouth, he asked the little girl who was waiting for the test drug: "Chun Xing, do you think there is anything strange about today's medicine?"

"I don't think there's anything, but it's much more bitter than the previous few days." Chun Xing murmured: "Grandma vomited at the first mouthful, and didn't drink the rest. The medicine on weekdays is just two mouthfuls of worry. It affected my appetite. I took a sip, and grandma took a sip. It just stained my throat."

She is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who was a drug test girl at Jia Min's place because of her criminal background.

Wang Xifeng walked into the room, looked at Jia Min who was in pain on the kang, and held Jia Min's hand worriedly: "Auntie, do you think you can bear it?" No please come in and get ready.I always thought that after the end of the month, I was letting Mrs. Wen come in.

"It's nothing, it's just that the pain is too severe and it's not time yet." Jia Min sucked in air, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Looking at the uncomfortable Jia Min, Wang Xifeng thought of her former self.That was a sigh of relief, plus holding the sword hurt the body in the end.The six-month-old fetus was lost, and the pain was unbearable at that time.She reached out and wiped the sweat off Jia Min's face with a handkerchief. Seeing her coming in, Lin Ruhai went out to check the medicine bowl and hands.

While observing Jia Min taking care of her, Wang Xifeng recalled the source of that smell.When the doctor came, she suddenly remembered what it was.

That's coffee!It was the smell of coffee, very strong and unique to Mandheling coffee.She stood up suddenly, let go of Jia Min's hand and rushed to the main room.Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai were studying the medicine dregs with the doctor, when they saw her rushing over to take the white porcelain bowl from the doctor's hand regardless of her identity, lighted a little dregs and put it into her mouth again.The bitter taste of unmelted coffee filled her mouth, and she stared at the kneeling person below with bitter taste in her eyes:

"Who went out this morning?" Her voice was icy cold, and even Lin Ruhai was shocked by the murderous girl in front of her.

"No one!" The nanny who had worked in the palace bowed her head and replied.After all, she has seen the big scene.

"Search, everyone's beds, bodies, clothes. Cabinets, corners." Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and showed a dazzling smile: "Find a kind of powder or beans that smells bitter and is black or dark in color. Grandma, I Let's see who is capable. Find out all the extra money, banknotes, papers. Look at the necklines at the corners of those clothes, and the hairpin rings around the mouth." Her last words were in a sharp voice.With his head raised, his eyes were full of sternness.

Everyone around took a deep breath, Lin Ruhai frowned, he knew that this woman might have discovered something.He looked down at the servant: "Brother Feng, do you know what it is?"

"A kind of bean from Nanyang, the tea of ​​foreigners. They call it coffee, and people in the south say it is foreign tea or bitter tea beans. I don't know if my uncle has seen it." Wang Xifeng went to the side and picked up the dregs of the medicine, and took off a stick The hairpin picked some of the powder on it and put it into the palm of his hand, and handed it to Lin Ruhai: "This thing is boiled and drunk. But it won't melt in a short time. If it melts, it will take longer. This person is afraid It was put down after the medicine was ready. The doctor would not recognize it, because no one in Beijing had ever drank it. My uncle said that even the emperor would not get much for a year. If people drink it, it will be good, just like drinking alcohol. However, if pregnant women use it, less will make the fetus stupid. If it is too much... it will cause miscarriage. My aunt is weak, so I am afraid it will affect it even if I take it."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai looked at the thing in the white palm and clenched his fists.He looked at the unmoving nanny and said: "The whole mansion is sealed off, let's check what your young mistress says."

After speaking, he dragged the doctor to the side room.What is not the result is now, but how to save his wife.

Jia Min's redness was only a little bit, and the doctor's treatment temporarily stabilized the fetal movement.But he couldn't move and was bedridden.

The results of the search came out before lunch, before the person who administered the drug had time to destroy the body.After all, this thing is a rarity in any place.I'm afraid that even the imperial physicians don't know the effect of being able to prevent tires.Moreover, the man seemed to be worried that he would fail at one time, so he prepared several packs.It's all ground powder.

Mammy is leading a woman in plain clothes decorated with pink silk flowers.Put the earth-colored packet found from her on the tea table in front of Wang Xifeng: "Grandma, I found it from her."

Wang Xifeng looked at the woman kneeling on her knees, carefully scrutinizing her face, she felt that it was very strange.He asked, "What's your name?"

"My maidservant's surname is Qiu, and her name is Yue'e." The woman's body trembled, but she seemed to be still trying to regain her spirits.Veins protruded from the back of her hands, and she tightly grasped the hem of the clothes in front of her.Wang Xifeng looked her up and down, squinted her eyes and smiled gently.Her tone was soft, as if she was talking homely.Jia Lian, who was on the side, looked at Wang Xifeng like this, and suddenly felt like seeing that heroic wife again.

"Tell me! Where did the rare thing come from? I'm afraid even grandma wouldn't be able to get such a quantity."

"Slave... I don't know." The woman lowered her head, with timidity in her voice.

"I don't know? Why don't you know your stuff?" Wang Xifeng sneered and looked at the woman beside her: "Where did you find it?"

"The corner of her bed!" The woman is the old man next to Jia Min in the house, and she is very loyal.After finishing speaking, she still did not forget to stare at her to relieve her hatred.

"The servant really doesn't know." The woman simply lowered her head and explained in a crying voice: "Grandma, I am a needleworker. Except for making clothes for grandma and men, I never go out on weekdays. How do I have this thing?"

"That means someone has slept in your bed!" Wang Xifeng snorted, and glanced at the people around with a smile: "Tell me! But do you have a date?"

She picked up the tea bowl on one side and gently flicked the tea foam inside.

"Slaves... haven't married yet!" The woman's voice became even lower.

"Oh!" Wang Xifeng gave a long tug, and slapped the tea bowl aside on the coffee table: "Who said that if you don't get married, you won't have a good date? Tell me! It's too early to tell, grandma and I are not that unreasonable. You are all below, and you are the masters who say nothing about your body. Tell me, how much money was given to you, and who gave you the things? As long as you tell, grandma, I will sell you at most. Fireworks and Willow Lane... Anyway ...is he still alive?"

Her ending was soft, Jia Lian didn't want to scream.Lin Ruhai was still by Jia Min's side at this time, and there were only their two masters in the main hall.That leisurely and gentle tone made everyone standing here feel cold at noon on this sunny day.For this young mistress, she was originally just a quick-talking, pleasing and quick-witted person.Now it seems that there is still a cruelty.What Fireworks and Willow Lane is also alive, is it alive?In such a dirty place, it is better to die.

"Back to grandma, I really don't know!" The woman suddenly looked up at Wang Xifeng, glanced at Jia Lian with grievances, and said, "It's true that this thing was found from my bedside, but these days it is said to be Buying winter clothes. I haven't gone back to rest for many days. How do I know?"

"This is really interesting." Wang Xifeng looked at her with one hand on her chin: "You said you haven't gone back to rest for a long time, so where do you sleep? Everyone in this mansion has a fixed number of where to sleep and where to rest. .I can't, at night... you go to the bed of some wild man. Then come back in the daytime! You always need someone to prove what you say. Who can prove that you are not in bed?"

Seeing her look at Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng secretly hated her.She's just a pretty embroidered lady, so Jia Lian just wants to mess around when she has a good life?

"My godmother can testify!" The woman yelled, looking at the woman standing by the door.That old lady also looked familiar, she was the one who led Wang Xifeng to look at the yard on the first day.The mother-in-law heard the woman identifying herself, and hurriedly came out and knelt down: "Go back to grandma, this girl has indeed never lived anywhere these days."

"Oh!" Wang Xifeng nodded: "On the front line, there are four people in one room!" She asked the woman who was in charge of the front workshop.

"Back to grandma, it was originally a room for four people. It's just that grandma and young master have milk. If there are more people in the family, there will be more people. So now it is a room, and there are five to six more sleeps."

"Let others come over." Wang Xifeng looked coldly at the kneeling godmother and daughter, drank tea with her head down and said nothing.

The people on the other front came over soon.Because something happened to my wife today, and I was worried about finding things from them.They are all waiting for the news outside the main courtyard.

Because there were so many people who came, they all knelt next to each other.They glanced at each other carefully, waiting for Wang Xifeng to ask questions.

Wang Xifeng glanced at them, they were all young ladies.There are only three girls who have not combed their hair.She opened the mouth and said: "She said that she has no one in the house these days, and her godmother has testified. If anyone of you testifies, if you say that you are not in the house, please tell them. I will ask the rest of the grandma."

Having said that, a few daughters-in-law who combed their hair came out and were ghosts.The leader said: "We all have someone at home who is covering the tile-roofed house, and the son of the family is a father-in-law, but we only sleep there at noon or when we are busy. These days are very busy, and the few of us are all sewing Resting in the room. Our men can testify for us."

The remaining three girls watched them say this, and each went to find their godmothers or sisters, saying that they were not there.

Wang Xifeng looked at them, and raised his chin: "It's a coincidence... If there are boys and children in the family, I believe grandma. At least, there are rules in the mansion. Those who have a family cannot stay in the mansion. Unless there are other reasons Things. Why do you three have it? Looking at it this way, it seems that the house is vacant and the beauty lives there? Is it haunted in broad daylight?" She patted the armrest of the chair and looked at the steward in charge of the sewing room:

"Mom, can you testify for those who have families?"

"There are people from Zhang Wu's family and those who follow them. I can guarantee it." The needlework manager looked at the people below and smiled awkwardly: "Because I ordered the night rush. The master said no. I have neglected the gentleman who came here, and I must make new clothes for him. I didn’t like buying them, so I had to let them come together skillfully. Don’t tell me, it’s okay. I bought wine and meat at night, and I’m with you. The three Girl, I don't know. The three girls are from the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, and they were originally arranged because there was no space around the wife."

What she said was clear, and Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian could hear it clearly.The two looked at each other, and Wang Xifeng nodded: "Then let's do it this way! Anyway, this thing can't be found, and my aunt also uses it. Grandma and I are one who would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Shouted Steward, go outside and find a mother's restaurant and sell the three sisters and their godmothers together. A mid-mature lady is also considered Fengyun."

Looking at his charming wife, Jia Lian was in a daze.In his heart, he tossed a sentence:

Are you still resenting... those things?

He didn't say this sentence, but only came to his senses when he heard the cries for mercy from below.What is now is not his former daughter-in-law, but the young daughter-in-law who has no adventures.

"Why are you crying?" He choked back the cries of the others, and asked through gritted teeth, "What's the matter? If you don't want to, just kill it."

"What did you kill?" Lin Ruhai came out after summing up his wife's body with the doctor.Looking at the kneeling people, especially the three women dressed as girls, I suddenly understood the general idea.He lowered his eyes and walked to the main seat and sat down. Seeing him coming, Jia Lian replied:

"Brother Feng and I feel that we can't get anything out of it anyway. It's better to sell all those who are likely to be messed with. Brothels and Chuguan can always be exchanged for some money."

"Can't you ask?" Lin Ruhai pursed his lips and smiled: "You little ones, you just don't know what's going on." He flicked the hem of his jacket: "It's still good to be a salt government. Since you don't say anything, there happens to be an internal government order in the yamen. Even though they don’t usually get involved, it’s okay if you ask me about it.”

Most of the people present could remember hearing the inner government order.In the yamen compound, not only the eunuchs of the inner government order lived, but also the officers and soldiers of the Red Snake Guard who supervised the transportation of the salt government's tax revenue.Many people trembled, and the woman who testified for the previous woman suddenly yelled, crawled forward and knelt at Lin Ruhai's feet: "Master, please forgive me...Master please forgive me...I was just lied to by her. I really don't You know these things! She didn’t just live with me these days, but went back every day. Master, please forgive me...Please forgive me, Master..."

She was crying bitterly, and the thick white powder on her face was rubbed with any color.Wang Xifeng was tired of seeing it for a while.When the woman heard what the mother-in-law said, she immediately froze.She knew that there were very few people in the capital who didn't know the means of the inner government order.

Inner Palace Order Baihutang,

First-class officials do not return to court.

Whether it is bitter or painful,

Don't let the blue color provoke the face.

The golden fruit, the silver fruit,

No bitter fruit than a prison.

Black Shirts, Red Shirts,

Not as long as the red snake.

……

Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian, and Wang Xifeng didn't say anything.Just listening to the woman's crying and the woman's stupidity.

After a while, the woman came to her senses, and said with trembling lips: "If I say so, can the master forgive me and let me leave and enter the temple to be a sister-in-law?"

"I'll know only after you tell me, can't you? Get down!" Lin Ruhai looked at him sullenly.Hearing what my master said, the others quickly left the main room and even helped close the door.

"On the day of the master's apprenticeship ceremony, a woman came to find me. She took my mother's token and said that she was entrusted to come to me. My mother was born in Rongguo Mansion. I thought it was my mother who missed me and asked someone to come. Look at me. I asked for leave and went out. The woman said that she was working in Zhen's house. Because of old relatives, she came to have a look. A month ago, the woman came again. She said that she wanted me to take this thing Put it in the madam's medicine several times. The master has no heirs, but he is middle-aged and promising. At most, that thing will make the madam give birth to a fool. If so, the madam will not live long if she loses her body. The old lady While discussing with the old lady of the Zhen family, if it is possible to succeed, I will recommend the daughter of the second wife of the Zhen family as the master's stepmother as my mother's family. In this way, the three of us who sent it back then also have the status of aunts.

I thought over and over again, and finally caught the moment when the woman who boiled medicine was no longer there.That woman has always been strict, and I can't find a chance.So I put more…”

After saying this, the woman slumped in a ball as if she had lost all her strength.

"Stupid!" Lin Ruhai uttered such a sentence, looking at Wang Xifeng: "How did Brother Feng learn this at home?"

"It's quite beautiful, just sell it. The one from Fireworks and Willow Lane, maybe it can be a top card." Wang Xifeng hates this kind of person the most, and there is a joyful voice in her voice.

"Then let's sell it all!" Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and said this.

The author has something to say: some things in this are fabricated

But coffee is really not for pregnant women to eat.

Only in terms of quantity, it is more than this.
