Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 156

The Jiangnan commander is a military officer of the third rank, so Qiao Lian is a gentleman of the third rank.Su Qinghe nodded with a smile, sat down at the main seat, and then signaled Qiao Lianshi to sit down too: "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but it brought Mrs. Qiao here."

After saying that, Su Qinghe felt a sense of embarrassment, what a classic these words, she actually repeated them today!

"The concubine heard that a nobleman is coming, even if the northwest wind is blowing, she will come to visit." Qiao Lianshi is obviously a master of communication, and said flatteringly with a smile: "I have heard that the princess of the four counties is a wonderful person. He looks good, gentle and kind, looking at her today, the officials and concubines feel that they have seen a fairy girl, the radiance all over her body is really magnificent."

"Where, Mrs. Qiao has won the award." Su Qinghe was speechless for a while, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, she took a sip from the teacup with a smile, and motioned Qiao Lianshi to drink tea: "Mrs. Qiao, try it, this tea is from my home The prince of the county brought it back yesterday and said it was the top quality Biluochun, I tasted it, and it was really eloquent."

Qiao Lian hurriedly took a few sips of the teacup according to Su Qinghe's words, and then nodded: "What the princess said is that this tea is really good, looking at the tea, it is green and clear, and smelling refreshing, the veins of the tea leaves are stretched, just looking at it It makes people feel refreshed.”

"Then Mrs. Qiao should drink more." Su Qinghe said with a smile, and Qiao Lian's face was flattered: "If I'm not mistaken, the spring water for brewing tea is the spring water from Lingquan Temple in the east of the city, right? Such precious tea water , if I drink it, it will be like a cow chewing peony."

"It's not something rare. If Mrs. Qiao likes it, I'll send some tea to your house later." Su Qinghe waved her hand indifferently. Shen Junxiu is very particular about drinking tea and can drink good tea When the time comes, you will never wrong yourself.

So as soon as he was safe yesterday, he immediately sent someone to bring back the tea leaves that were originally stored in the mansion.Otherwise, Su Qinghe really couldn't find good tea for entertaining guests.

"Then I would like to thank the princess of the county." Qiao Lian thanked happily, took another sip of tea, and carefully observed Su Qinghe's face: "Did the princess of the county rest well yesterday? Can I use it now?"

"It's a good rest. I heard that you arranged all the servants in this mansion? You have a heart, and you have done a good job. I am very satisfied with these people." Su Qinghe nodded with a smile, thinking to himself With a sigh of relief, she finally got to the point, and if she went back and forth, she might as well go back to the room earlier and continue to catch up on sleep.

"The princess of the county is happy with it. It is an honor for the concubine and the concubine's husband to be able to contribute to the prince and the concubine." Qiao Lianshi also breathed a sigh of relief, and seemingly casually mentioned: "The concubine listens Said that the princess of the county was frightened two days ago and felt a little unwell, and the concubine happened to have a few ounces of the best blood bird's nest and a ginseng at home, I hope the princess of the county will not dislike it, this is also the concubine's heart."

After saying that, she asked the maid behind her to present the gift box, and Su Qinghe hurriedly declined: "No, I'm just a little tired and not seriously ill. You can take these things back, I don't lack them."

Fear immediately appeared on Qiao Lian's face: "Didn't the princess of the county send someone to rescue the princess of the county before she blamed the concubine and husband?"

Su Qinghe's face darkened, Qiao Lian's eyes turned red, she got up and knelt in front of Su Qinghe: "Princess Princess, the concubine's husband has been wronged."

"You get up and talk first." Su Qinghe motioned to Yun Duo, and Yun Duo hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Qiao Lianshi up, but Qiao Lianshi was unwilling to get up: "Princess Princess, my concubine and husband also have difficulties, it's not because he doesn't want to." sent troops, but his soldier talisman was stolen."

Su Qinghe was taken aback. In order to get rid of the crime, the commander actually said that the soldier talisman was lost. What a big deal this is. What is the soldier talisman?If you lose it, you may be ransacked and exterminated. Could it be that the commander's head is broken?

"You get up and answer first. The county prince and I are both easy to talk to. If you really have difficulties, we won't blame you. Besides, you didn't know our identities before, and you didn't want to send troops under hesitation. It is unforgivable."

Su Qinghe blocked Qiao Lianshi's retreat with a word, and when he said it himself, the effect was different from what Qiao Lianshi said himself.

Before, she and Shen Junxiu were looking for information secretly, and when she sent someone to ask Jiangnan Commander for help, she sent a guard.If Commander Jiangnan is unwilling to save him, then he just needs to get rid of that guard. Even if Shen Junxiu pursues him afterwards, he can still say that he didn't recognize Shen Junxiu, and he didn't see the guard who asked for help. You can withdraw without dragging your feet.

Now, the Jiangnan Commander has made a move, but it was two days late.Sometimes, two days can be fatal.At this time, the commander Jiangnan had to find a way to fool the past two days.

Even if you don't want credit, you can't bear the slightest responsibility.

Su Qinghe had thought that the Jiangnan Commander would make excuses, for example, it would take time to investigate what the guard said, and it would take time to verify the identities of Shen Junxiu and her, Su Qinghe.These excuses are ready-made, although it will make Shen Junxiu dissatisfied, but it will also make Shen Junxiu unable to pick out the thorns.

But he didn't expect that, instead of looking for other excuses, this person actually found an excuse that was so easy to be caught and criticized.

After listening to Su Qinghe's last words, Qiao Lian's complexion did not change, but Su Qinghe noticed that her hand holding the handkerchief suddenly exerted force, and the veins on her hand almost jumped out.

This made Su Qinghe feel more and more that losing a soldier talisman might really be an excuse.

"Princess Princess, to tell you the truth, this matter is also related to the laxity of the courtiers and concubines." Qiao Lianshi stood up weeping, and Su Qinghe looked a little curious: "What's going on here? Isn't the soldier talisman Is it very important? Did Master Qiao let it go at will?"

"It's not that my husband put the soldier talisman in a random place. The place where the soldier talisman was placed is also a dark room. In the whole mansion, only the concubine knows about it, not even the concubine." Qiao Lianshi expressed annoyance. Appearance: "My concubine, my husband, is originally from Bashu County. He won the champion of martial arts more than ten years ago. My mother-in-law was worried that I was a young woman butler, so she sent the mother around me to teach."

Su Qinghe nodded, the officialdom mode has changed to the house fighting mode, it is estimated that the stolen soldier amulet has something to do with the nanny sent by the mother-in-law.

"Both the concubine and the husband feel that Nanny Chen was sent by her mother-in-law, so she will give her some face when she does things. Who would have thought that Nanny Chen has evil intentions and wants to marry her own daughter to her husband. I have always regarded my concubine as a thorn in my side, and when my concubine was pregnant, I actually wanted to create an accident and let my concubine die twice."

Qiao Lian's face was full of grief, Su Qinghe listened to her play calmly: "Afterwards my husband found out the truth, he was furious, and ordered someone to send Nanny Chen back to his hometown. It's just that I didn't expect to meet a robber who robbed me halfway. she……"

Su Qinghe made a secret bet in her heart, if Nanny Chen was killed, how likely is it that the robber was sent by the Qiao Lian family in front of her?Halfway through thinking about it, I suddenly realized that I had focused most of my attention on Zhai Dou, which was a big mistake!

Her current status is the princess of the county, and she is Shen Junxiu's pillow. At critical moments, she has to pay attention to the movements of the housewives in the officialdom, and then calculate the actions and positions of the men in front of her. deep.So, I hurriedly put away my gossip and pretended to listen attentively.

"Unexpectedly, Mother Chen's daughter held a grudge because of this, thinking that it was the concubine and her husband who killed her mother. At first, Aunt Chen was peaceful, but later the concubine found out that she was simply confusing the concubine and her husband , to wait for the opportunity to take revenge."

The corner of Su Qinghe's mouth twitched: "You mean, this Auntie Chen stole the military amulet?"

Aunt Chen is the daughter of Nanny Chen, and Nanny Chen was given by Qiao Lianshi's mother-in-law, but I don't know whether it is the dowry mother or the mother-in-law of the husband's family.If it's the former, you have to find out where Qiao Lian's mother-in-law is from.If the latter, whose territory is this Bashu County?

And this soldier talisman, was it really stolen by Aunt Chen, or did Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao take the opportunity to push out the internal thieves in the mansion?

With thoughts, Su Qinghe's next gossip had a direction. For a while, she casually asked where Qiao Lian's hometown was, and for a while, she asked if Aunt Chen had any children. The news is gathered together, and then slowly unraveled.

This process cannot be thought for a long time, otherwise it will be easy for Qiao Lianshi to see the clues.After all, Qiao Lian is also the wife of an official, and she used to do this kind of news in the past. Su Qinghe is only relying on her young age, which makes it easier to be fooled. Coupled with her high status, Qiao Lian dare not Offended, and then asked smoothly.

If you change to someone with a higher status, you can slap Su Qinghe with embarrassment on the spot-you can inquire about the old lady's family background and family affairs casually?

"Then Aunt Chen is so bold? Didn't you say before that only your master knows where the soldier talisman is hidden?" Su Qinghe was curious. She served the master, the concubine really didn't expect that Aunt Chen would be so scheming, she first tried every means to please the master, and then..."

As she said that, Qiao Lian's face was full of grief and indignation again: "Now that the matter is up to now, the concubine doesn't care whether she is ashamed or not. Since the princess of the county has asked, the concubine has to talk about it in detail."

"This Aunt Chen is not an ordinary aunt. She grew up with her concubine's husband. Before the concubine came in, she had already opened her face. The husband has some affection for her."

Qiao Lianshi looked annoyed: "If it wasn't for the fact that my concubine was murdered by Nanny Chen...I'm afraid..."

After talking indistinctly, Qiao Lian said again: "In addition to what happened to Nanny Chen later, my husband felt a little guilty for Aunt Chen, and always said that if he hadn't wanted to send Nanny Chen This kind of thing will not happen to Madam Chen. There is friendship and guilt, and it is a bit too much to be nice to Aunt Chen. Sometimes, what the concubine said in the backyard is not even as good as Aunt Chen. .”

Su Qinghe nodded, this is really a drama of pampering concubines and destroying wives.However, Qiao Lian's methods are also good. Generally speaking, this kind of housemaid who grew up with men is difficult to deal with, but she can make Mrs. Qiao send Nanny Chen away at once , I don't have much means, so I can't mess with this back house.
