Chapter 50 Three Things
Two days later, Lin Huazhi went to Fuguifang.
It's still the dark room. Seeing her, the old man has always been a little more curious in his plain tone: "Why, are you willing to agree to the conditions I proposed last time?"
Lin Huazhi made no sound. In the days of the Zhang family, she could basically see the jade Guanyin hanging on Zhang Ziqing's neck every day. It was wet and rare ice seed. No wonder the old ghost was moved. However, the old ghost is too greedy. Although Yuguanyin is good, Lin Huazhi pretends to turn a blind eye to the old ghost's lion.
Hearing the old ghost ask her if she had changed her mind, Lin Huazhi shook her head: "Buddha's Great Picture" buys you three things for you." She spoke unhurriedly.
"What you are talking about is the Buddha picture drawn by Master Shikong of Lanruo Temple a hundred years ago?"
"Yes. As long as you do three things for me, I will give you that picture. Lin Huazhi has heard the excitement in the old ghost's voice.
After waiting for a long time, the old ghost said, "As far as I know, "Buddha's Great Picture" is owned by the Liu family in Hejian. How can you have that picture again?" The old ghost also has his source. From this, it can also be seen that the old ghost does not believe that Lin Huazhi can take out this treasure.
Lin Huazhi smiled carelessly. She would not tell the old ghost that the picture was bought by Chen Suyue from Liu's house five years ago. She just said, "Since I dare to say such a thing, it shows that I am sure to find something for you. Aren't you afraid to accept my request?"
The old ghost seemed to hesitate. He did not make a sound immediately. Lin Huazhi was not anxious and stood quietly in the dark room and waited.
About a column of incense, the old man answered in a low voice, "I'll take it, you say it."
Lin Huazhi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and she expected that it would be such a result. She squeezed her mouth and slowly said, "First, I want the details of the four maids close to Chen Suyue; second, I want to know what Cui Ting has done since she came back from Fancheng; third, I want to know what poison Chen Suyue is. The formula is What, how long is the incubation period, how to solve it, and what are the symptoms after poisoning?
"The first two things you requested are not difficult, but it will be difficult for me to find out the last thing for a while. I need time." The old ghost responded to her request and knew that what Lin Huazhi asked for would never be simple.
Lin Huazhi said, "Of course I know that this is not a simple thing, but... Since you can find out that Chen Suyue died of poisoning, what I require is not too difficult by your means. The first two things look huge and complicated, but the manpower and material resources spent are far less than the "Buddha's Great Picture". In the final analysis, You made it. Of course, if you find it difficult, you can cancel the transaction. I don't care."
Lin Huazhi's meaning is very simple. In Jiangdong Mansion, she has not only the old ghost in her hand. There are many people outside who inquire about the news and run errands, but the old ghost has a reputation and reputation in the industry. Ordinary gangsters are far from meeting Lin Huazhi's requirements.
In the dark, it seemed that the old ghost sighed faintly, and then there was another hoarse sound of floating men and women in the small dark room: "Three months later, you come to get the news."
After she came out of Fuguifang, she had a small black square seal in her hand. The old ghost is a good antique is also well known in the industry, so Lin Huazhi will use the painting of an empty master from the beginning. In the past, Chen Suyue could do the first two things by herself, but now, as Lin Huazhi, it is quite difficult to investigate.
Before returning to Chen's house, she went back to the west of the city.
The wet nurse and Lin get along very well. Under Lin's care, the wet nurse's body is much better. Now most of the red ginseng brought by Lin Huazhi from Chenfu has been used for the wet nurse. Lin Huazhi gave Lin Shi the ten taels of silver she got from Zhang's house and asked her to take good care of the wet nurse. She also said that it was almost winter and asked her to make two sets of cotton-padded clothes for Lin Yuyang and fill in something at home.
While Lin went to cook, Lin Huazhi pulled the wet nurse and whispered, "Nanny, are you used to living here?"
The wet nurse nodded with a smile: "Lin is a good person. She has to take good care of me these days. I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me when you work outside."
Lin Huazhi saw that the wet nurse's face was not pale at first sight. Knowing that her body was slowly getting better, she was also relieved. She thought for a moment and said, "Nanny, do you know where the housekeeper will go? I want to get him back."
Hearing that she was looking for a former steward, the wet nurse was also a little surprised. After thinking for a while, she said, "As far as I know, he may go west. Uncle Chen has never married and had children in his life. I vaguely heard him say that he also has a cousin living there in Xifeng City. If he doesn't see him around here, I think he will go west.
Lin Huazhi hurriedly wrote it down. She said, "Nanny, you and Uncle Chen Tong are like a mother and a father to me. Even if life is not as good as before, I can't bear to let you work hard outside. You can live here at ease. When I finish my affairs in Chen's house, our life will be better and better in the future.
The wet nurse nodded, but a trace of worry appeared on her face: "Child, what are you still doing in Chen's house? Now that Mr. Yan is in charge, will you be fine?
I don't want the wet nurse to worry about her. Lin Huazhi hurriedly said, "I'll be fine. What about Yan Shaobai? In the past, Chen's mansion was not a dragon pool tiger cave. Is it possible that it's still a human hell? Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."
When the wet nurse heard her words, her heart was mixed. She didn't know whether she was happy or sad. She remembered Chen Suyue, who had worked so hard before, not to mention serving others now.
Afraid of the wet nurse's sadness, Lin Huazhi said a few words and pulled the topic away.
After hurriedly eating something at home, Lin Huazhi rushed back to Chen's house.
In fact, there is nothing to do today. Yan Shaobai went to a small town next to Jiangdong Prefecture early this morning, and Du Yinglian was the only one at home at this time.
Hearing that Du Yinglian wanted to cut new clothes, Ruyi took her to the warehouse. Thinking of the previous words, after finding out the cloth Du Yinglian wanted, Ruyi gave Lin Huazhi another cotton cloth and asked her to make two clothes in winter.
Lin Huazhi was not polite. After thanking Ruyi, she went to Huafeng Garden with her things.
As soon as he entered the garden, he heard Du Yinglian scolding in the room: "Get out of here, get out of here."
Looking up, Cui Shuang came out of the room with a gloomy face. Seeing Lin Huazhi, Cui Shuang was also a little surprised, but soon, Cui Shuang calmed down and said, "Miss Cousin is not in a good mood now. Be careful when you go in later." After saying that, he hurried away.
Lin Huazhi just noticed that Cui Shuang blushed, as if she had been slapped in the face. She couldn't help frowning, raised the curtain and walked in.
Du Yinglian sat at the table and heard the sound. She turned her head and saw that it was Lin Huazhi. She hummed and turned her head again.
Lin Huazhi saw that there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, and her eyebrows were tighter.
"What's wrong with you? Who provoked you again?"
It's okay if she didn't ask. As soon as she asked, Du Yinglian's eyes turned red and choked and said, "Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law, he ignored me. He said that I was unreasonable. If it goes on like this, I will be no different from my sister and will not be happy in the future."
Lin Huazhi raised the corners of her eyebrows slightly, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
