"Grandma, why is this pastry so exquisite? I heard that Grandma Yu specifically asked about this pastry in my father's study just now!"
Qin Wanru asked with a smile, reaching over and picking up a pastry and looking at it carefully, "When I used it before, I didn't take a closer look!"
"Did Aunt Yu ask about this pastry?" The old lady's expression changed slightly.
Qin Wanru nodded, with a bit of surprise in her eyes, "Grandma, is there something special about this pastry?"
The old lady took the pastry from her hand, looked at it, frowned tightly, and suddenly turned to Grandma Duan and asked urgently: "Go and take a look at the set of pastry molds from before, the Zhuo Zhuo set!"
"Which one?" Madam Duan didn't understand at first, but when she saw the old lady mentioning Qin Wanru, her eyes immediately widened, "Is the old lady talking about the second lady's story?"
"Yes, that's the set, the other ones don't have such exquisite molds!" The old lady nodded.
"The old slave, go take a look right away!" Aunt Duan seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Qin Wanru, and turned around in a hurry to leave.
"Grandma, what do you mean my set? Which set is mine?" Qin Wanru raised her bright little face, stretched out her hand to shake the old lady's sleeve, and asked in confusion.
The old lady looked very hesitant. She looked at Qin Wanru's face and hesitated for a long time before sighing, "Zhuozhuo, that set of molds is yours. It was from when you were young...it was there before." , you liked it very much when you were little, and your grandmother specially kept it for you, and kept it away ever since. Why do you suddenly have cakes made from this set of molds in the kitchen!"
"What I like, mine?" Qin Wanru looked confused!
"Yes, it's yours!" The old lady said with certainty this time, reaching out and touching Qin Wanru's hair, her eyes slightly bitter.
Qin Wanru's long eyelashes fluttered a few times, covering up the deep look in her eyes. Sure enough, the mold was not originally in Di's hands. Even if she took it secretly, she did not dare to let the old lady find it, otherwise she would have taken it out early. , increase Qin Yuru’s chips!
This time, I had no choice but to do it, and of course it was because the old lady had probably forgotten about it.
In her previous life, Qin Wanru had never seen this set of molds, but she had heard of this exquisite pastry. It was said that Qin Yuru loved eating it and would definitely take it out and serve it to guests whenever they came.
I originally thought it was because the pastries were excellent, but I never thought it was because the pastry molds were not simple. Even though Qin Yuru didn't officially identify her at that time, everyone secretly thought she was their mother's biological daughter!
Something like this happened to Qin Yuru yesterday, and Di had to increase her chips. This is what she needs. How many cards and chips does Di have...
Aunt Duan came very quickly. When she came back, she was in a hurry. Her face was slightly pale. She said as soon as she entered the door: "Old madam, that set of molds is missing!"
"Check, find out where the set used in the kitchen comes from?" The old lady's face darkened.
"Old madam, I have sent someone to ask. Just now, I also asked the housekeeper who brought old lady's belongings with her when she came to Beijing. She said that she disappeared before going to Beijing. At that time, the mansion was going to Beijing. It was there at first when I was sorting out the items, but then it disappeared. The woman in charge thought it was just a set of molds, so she didn’t report it to the old lady and only remembered a loss!"
Before entering the capital, when she was in Jiangzhou, the old lady's inventory was also checked. Because there were many items, she took inventory for several days. Some needed items were sent to the capital, and some unnecessary items were sent back to the Qin Mansion. hometown.
The set of molds was also recorded in the account, but it was just a set of molds after all. Although it was exquisite, it was not a valuable thing. If it disappeared, it would disappear. The person in charge didn't care, so he just marked it in the record book. A loss account was reported.
When Grandma Duan went out just now, she thought that she might be missing, so she sent someone to call the woman in charge.
"You disappeared when you entered Beijing?" The old lady was shocked and angry, "How dare Mr. Di do such a thing!"
There is almost no need to investigate further. The old lady has already determined that this matter was done by Di, which means that Di had already planned something for Qin Wanru, or she had bad intentions early on.
When we were in Jiangzhou, the housekeeper in the backyard of General Ningyuan's Mansion was Di, who had many close associates. Only Di could have sent someone to take away this set of molds in such a hurry, and no one knew about it. Besides, Others didn't know the meaning of this set of molds, let alone that this set of molds was also carried in Qin Wanru's package at the time and was related to Qin Wanru's life experience.
"Let's go, I'll go ask Di myself!" The old lady stood up angrily.
"Old lady!"
"Grandma!" Aunt Duan and Qin Wanru grabbed her one by one.
"Grandma, don't be angry yet. You are not in good health, so you can't be angry. We need to find out this first. Even if it is Mrs. Di's hands and feet, grandma will slowly beg for them back!" Qin Wanru advised softly.
Of course she would not let her grandmother go to see Di. Di was going crazy at this time and dared to do anything. If her grandmother went to see her and she brought that kind of green bent grass sachet, would her grandmother be okay? It is easy to maintain a good body, but it is troublesome.
In the past, Mrs. Di might not have dared to do such a thing blatantly, but now she must have dared. She was now imprisoned in the yard, trying desperately to figure it out. The old lady was a big mountain pressing on her head, and she should He desperately wanted the old lady to fall.
"Old madam, the second young lady is right. Don't be angry first, and make a careful calculation. Even if you ask Madam Di about this now, I still don't think you can figure it out. I lost the mold by myself, and no one saw it. Mrs. Di’s people took it. Even if you ask the people in the kitchen now, the people in the kitchen may only say that this set of molds just appeared there. No one knows who brought it. There are many people in the kitchen. It’s not like I’ve lost something, and no one can tell why!”
Aunt Duan is indeed the old lady's confidant and has always understood the affairs of the Qin Mansion. She persuaded the old lady with just two words and helped the old lady sit down again.
A little maid came in and whispered something back to Grandma Duan. Grandma Duan nodded, waved her hand to go down, and then said to the old lady: "Old lady, the steward in the kitchen said, I don't know who will take the set of molds." I don’t know when it arrived, but it was placed in the corner of the kitchen. The new cooking lady was looking for various molds to make pastries, and she dug them out from underneath!”
Qin Wanru's watery eyes flashed, and she was not surprised by this result. Of course Di would not really confront the old lady, and doing so seemed to have nothing to do with her.
The new mother-in-law, the newly found pastry molds, and the exquisite and outstanding pastries were made. Something happened yesterday. Duke Xingguo came to the door in a hurry. When he saw such exquisite pastries, he would definitely take a few more glances.
If I guessed correctly, this set of molds should be old items from the Yuan Xingguo Duke's mansion, and Aunt Yu would obviously be familiar with them.
This line is almost interconnected, and the calculation is very precise. Even when the rumor that Qin Yuru beats and scolds him in the street comes out, the wife of Duke Xingguo will be anxious and send people to come to suppress her. You guessed it, it can be said that all the mechanisms have been exhausted.
Of course, the matter about the woman in the kitchen should be more than just that.
This is a mother-in-law who has made arrangements early!
"Ms. Di...does she know what she is doing?" The old lady turned pale with anger and said in a hateful voice.
"Old Madam, don't be angry. What should we do now? Do you want to take this set of molds back and put them away again?" Grandma Duan walked behind the old Madam and patted her gently behind her.
"Put it away, wash it and put it in Zhuozhuo's place." The old lady patted the corner of the table angrily.
"Grandma, since it's in the kitchen, let's keep it for now." Qin Wanru smiled slightly and stopped, "This pastry is indeed very delicate."
"Stay in the kitchen?" The old lady looked at her little granddaughter without understanding.
"Yes, let's keep it for now. This pastry is also very fragrant to use and tastes good to eat. When paired with such an exquisite mold, it complements each other. If guests come, you can also entertain them and it will give you face when you take it out. !" Qin Wanru continued to laugh, "Besides, if grandma puts away the mold all at once, Mrs. Di will know that grandma already knows!"
The old lady who said this fell silent, thought for a while and nodded: "Then don't take back the molds yet. Aunt Duan, you have people keep an eye on this set of molds to see who touches them!"
"Old Madam, don't worry. The people I sent to ask just now are all trustworthy and will not lie. I will just let them keep an eye on me secretly!" Aunt Duan is the old Madam's confidant, and she immediately understood the Old Madam. Meaning, he nodded repeatedly, glanced at Qin Wanru's childish little face, and had to be convinced.
The second young lady is indeed different from ordinary young ladies, she is even smarter!
She is so young, but still so calm. She is indeed not an ordinary child. If the old lady guessed correctly, the second young lady should be the child of Princess Qinghua, the daughter of the Crown Prince Xingguo and the eldest princess Ruian. This conclusion was drawn based on the information that Mrs. Shui sent someone to inquire about.
This is also the dilemma for the old lady. If it is true, she must be allowed to recognize her ancestors and tell what happened back then. The old lady has not said it for so many years, just because she is afraid that the second lady has no relatives at home, so she might as well do nothing. I don’t know, I’ll just raise her as my own granddaughter.
Now that the second young lady has her own relatives, of course this matter must be discussed, but the problem is that the eldest lady is involved. The eldest lady has now stepped in to make the Duke of Xingguo mistakenly think that she is the daughter of Princess Qinghua. If the old lady tells the truth, the eldest lady will be discredited. If the eldest lady is bad, she is also the old lady's granddaughter.
The old lady is now in a dilemma. Because of the eldest lady's intervention, Grandma Duan doesn't know how this matter will end, and she can't help but sigh secretly in her heart!
A maid ran in panting. She was so panicked that she almost fell down when she entered the door. When she reached the door of the main room, she already reported: "Old madam, the Queen Mother has sent someone!"
With one sentence, the whole room was shocked, and the old lady suddenly stood up...
