252: Mysterious Dialogue
252: Mysterious Conversation Zi Jin came to this teahouse with a very cautious attitude. At this moment, he heard a familiar voice next door and frowned slightly. Xianxiao went out immediately, but came back quickly and bent down.
He said: "The two girls at the door of the room on the left are strangers to each other. The girls at the door on the right are familiar to each other. They are from Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Liang Guogong."
Zi Jin nodded, no wonder the voice sounded familiar, it turned out to be them!
Since the person on the right is unfamiliar, Zi Jin is not interested in finding out who he is. He just waits for the horse carriage from the Hou Mansion to arrive. However, the place where the Hou family lives is quite far from the Hou Mansion. After all, the location of the Hou Mansion is the street closest to the Imperial City.
Everywhere in the capital is occupied by aristocratic families. But the Hou Mansion is just a relative of the Shouchang Bo family, and the house they live in in the middle of Beijing is left by their ancestors. They are all outside the busiest Third Street. Waiting for the carriage of the Hou Mansion
It will take an hour to come over and talk at least.
Zi Jin adheres to the principle of being less involved and less talkative, and tries to cause as little trouble as possible.
Du Ruo looked at Shui Rong and said, "You stay here to guard the young lady, I'll go down and take a look." Du Ruo is a married woman. At first glance, she is the wife of the steward of a big family. She looks around inside and outside.
There's nothing wrong with it, it's not as embarrassing as Shui Rong being unmarried.
Shui Rong nodded, "Be careful."
Du Ruo nodded and left. Zi Jin sat in front of the window and looked out. The window was close to the street. The street was full of people and lively. Common people were coming and going in an endless stream. Various shops on the street were open in a prosperous manner.
There is an endless stream of guests coming in and out. After all, under the emperor's feet, there is wealth and prosperity, and even the common people are decent.
Zi Jin had always been cautious outside, but especially under such circumstances, he was even more cautious. He looked at the carriage guarded by two servants across the street with a puzzled look on his face.
In fact, what happened just now was a bit strange. How could a good-looking horse be intercepted by someone, and the horse would never leave again? It was clear that he was walking happily before. Zi Jin felt slightly uneasy, but he also thought
There's nothing wrong with it.
The waiter brought the tea, Shui Rong took it with her own hands and let her go out.
Zi Jin looked at the pot of tea and said, "Put it there first. It's better not to touch anything outside."
Shui Rong nodded, put the things on the table and stopped caring. Then she walked to Zi Jin and stood next to her. She also looked out the window and said casually: "It's really strange. A good horse is like this."
If I don’t leave, I don’t know what evil has taken hold of me.” Shui Rong said, then looked to the opposite side, looked at it, and then said, “You said this horse is really strange. It neither moves forward nor retreats.
He stayed there without raising his hooves or moving, just like a painting. I have never seen any horse like this."
Zi Jin's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked up again. Sure enough, the horse stood there motionless, which was strange and eye-catching. Even if it didn't move forward or backward, at least it had to step on the same spot.
Come on, bark twice and raise your neck. Who knows, people don't do anything and just stay there like that. It really makes people feel weird.
The uneasy feeling in Zi Jin's heart became more and more serious. He raised his eyes and looked at Shui Rong and said, "Let's leave here immediately."
Zi Jin stood up, put the conical hat on his head, raised his feet and walked out. Shui Rong was stunned and hurriedly followed. When the master and servant walked to the door, before they opened the door, they heard a sound coming from outside.
, "The carriage across the street looks familiar, have you seen it?"
Another voice said: "There is a sign of Pingbeihou Mansion in front of it. It should be the carriage of Pingbeihou Mansion. I just don't know how the carriage stopped there."
It was the voices of two women. Zi Jin felt that the voices sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who they were for a moment. After all, since marrying into the Marquis Mansion, he has also gone to some banquets with the eldest princess, and there were all kinds of people coming and going at the banquets.
There are so many people, it is impossible to remember every face and every person, but each family has a special carriage for traveling, so you will naturally get to know each other the more you see them.
Zi Jin looked at Shui Rong, who shook her head. For a moment, she couldn't remember who was speaking outside.
"Have you heard that the third young lady of Pingbei Hou Mansion looks very similar to Concubine Ning who was in the palace back then?" said the gossip woman A.
"Who did you listen to? Didn't you say that she looked like the eldest palace maid Aruo in front of Concubine Ning? I also heard that the eldest prince fell in love with Aruo back then, but later he died of illness. What you can't get is always the best.
, the last time Mrs. Ye San of the Chai family fell into the water, it was the prince who desperately tried to save her. If not for this relationship, how could the eldest prince risk his life to save someone for a random woman? I also heard that the eldest prince
I'm not very good at swimming." Bagua Woman Yi said.
"Isn't this Mrs. Ye Sanshao the Miss Yao Wu, the concubine of the Yao family who Master Ye holds in his palm?" Gossip Woman A said again.
"It's her. Look at the fate of this family. A little concubine not only married into the prince's house and became the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess, but also enjoyed wealth and wealth. She was also regarded as a treasure by her husband. Even the eldest prince risked his life to save us. We don't have that fate.
." The gossip woman was filled with sour anger.
"Who would fight for whom for no reason, there might be something fishy about it." The gossip woman felt a sore toothache.
"Do you know something inside? Let's hear it..." The voices of the two people became lower and lower, and the footsteps gradually faded away. It was obvious that they had gone far away, and then they heard a group of people talking and laughing again.
It was obviously a gathering of a group of people, and it happened to be in the room not far from Zi Jin, where Luo Jue was. It was so true that birds of a feather flock together.
Zi Jin's face was very ugly. He didn't expect the rumors outside to be so ugly.
Zi Jin has actually thought about it for a long time. There are only two kinds of people in this world. One is those who are slandered, like her, and the other is those who slander behind their backs, like them. No matter what the reason is, Zi Jin
No one wants to cause more trouble at this time, but things are too coincidental, which always makes Zi Jin feel a little uneasy.
There is a kind of people who are born with wealth and honor. They are born with various advantages, look down on the world, and are omnipotent. They are what we call the proud ones of heaven. Such people, with strong backgrounds and excellent means, are destined to be defeated.
The world fell for them.
The box on the right was very quiet, and not a single sound could be heard. This silence was in sharp contrast to the bustling noise next to it, floating back and forth on the second floor.
Zi Jin tried to open the door but then retracted his hand. He vaguely felt that this silent box was really weird. He wanted to see what was going on in person, but he didn't want to get into trouble. But he didn't know who was inside, and he felt confused in his heart.
Uneasy. I want to get out of here, but I don’t want to meet people who meet Luo Jue and her daughter again and be pointed at.
Seeing Zi Jin in a dilemma, Shui Rong whispered: "Young madam, please sit down for a while while I can go out and take a look?"
Zi Jin shook his head and said, "Du Ruo has already left, so you can stay."
Shui Rong nodded in agreement and comforted Zi Jin: "Anyway, it only takes an hour. When the carriage from the Marquis Mansion arrives, we will leave."
Zijin had no other choice but to wait. This was not a modern place. Even if you went out on the street at three o'clock, no one would care about you. Here, so-called noble ladies like them had to be extremely taboo about going out, and nothing could go wrong.
, if any bad message is spread, it will not be a person's business. Zi Jin sighed when he thought of this. There are many people with mixed eyes, so be careful.
According to Zi Jin's temperament, she actually wanted to leave here, it was so aggrieved. But when she thought that she was now from the Pingbei Hou Mansion, and that Du Manqiu was eager to seize his leverage, she had no choice but to continue to endure it. If
With Ye Mingxuan by your side, it's easy to say that no one will look at you no matter what you do, but today Ye Mingxuan went to the health center. When you are really unlucky, you can't avoid it no matter what you do.
The door was pushed open, Du Ruo's face looked a little ugly, and he closed the door as soon as he entered.
Looking at Du Ruo's expression, Zi Jin was shocked and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find something?"
Du Ruo wiped his sweat and said: "It's really strange. This teahouse looks very lively, but the backyard is extremely clean. It stands to reason that the front should be lively and the back should be busy, but it is quiet as if no one is there.
If the slave hadn't looked at the people coming and going in the kitchen, he would have thought that there was really no one there. There are so many people, except for the slight sound of walking, there is not even a certain sound. This is too scary, it doesn't look like a teahouse.
"
Shui Rong's face turned slightly pale, and she turned to look at Zi Jin, feeling a little uneasy, "Then what should we do? Should we leave or stay?"
Zi Jin sat there motionless. Du Ruo's words only confirmed the suspicion in his heart. There was something wrong with this teahouse. In other words, it was quite possible that even the accident involving his carriage was planned by someone.
It's just that who can remember things so well, something happened in front of this teahouse, and I had to come to this teahouse to escape.
This series of planning methods were superb and the actions were calm and showed no flaws at all. If I hadn't been born with a sense of worry, I might not have noticed anything.
Who on earth would allow me to come to this teahouse willingly without anyone noticing, and what is his purpose? If he is only targeting me, then what is going on with Luo Jue and her daughter next door?
Was it an accomplice or a chance encounter?
This series of questions passed through Zi Jin's mind as fast as lightning, and she quickly thought about countermeasures. She had to stay here for an hour, and an hour was enough for many things to happen, especially when she was going to the Hou Mansion today. Zi Jin
He didn't bring too many servants, maids, and women with him, so as not to show off, which was really a surprise.
