Chapter 525 Poisoning
Time flies, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the day has entered November.
Zhulan looked at the snow scene outside the door, it was the first snow this year, it had not fallen lightly, it had only been down for less than half an hour, and it had already covered the ground.
Zhulan signaled Liu Ya to put down the curtain, and the room immediately became dark. Speaking of which, Zhulan has been in ancient times for several years, and she hates the gloomy weather more and more. For more light, light a candle.
This kind of atmosphere is really easy to make people depressed, Zhulan misses the glass windows.
Zhulan yawned, she had just woken up not long ago, and she was a little drowsy again, this kind of weather is the most suitable for sleeping.
Just as Zhulan got up and was about to go back to sleep with her son in the cage, Xuehan came in wearing a cloak, Liuli behind her shook the snow on the umbrella, and Liu Ya had already taken Xuehan's cloak.
Zhulan looked at the ledger in her daughter's hand, paused, and beckoned, "Come over here to get warm."
Xuehan blushed, "Mom, it's not cold outside."
Zhulan took the account book, stretched out her hand to look through it, it was last month's account, and remembered every detail clearly, then put down the account book, "It would be nice to come here when the snow clears."
Xuehan, "This gentleman asked for leave and didn't come. I couldn't stay in the house so I came here."
She really has no place to go. Sister Wu Yan has the most homework. Even if her husband asks for leave, she is still busy with schoolwork. Yushuang and Yulu have to help take care of her younger siblings. As for the fourth sister-in-law, she is really not welcomed by the fourth brother. .
As soon as Zhulan thought about it, she didn't have to go back to sleep, "It's just that you are free today, come with me to the warehouse to pick some furs, and when winter comes, share the winter furs with each room."
Xuehan smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The fur in the warehouse needs to be taken care of every once in a while. Every time Zhulan comes here, she feels a sense of accomplishment. She saves it, touches the watery white fur, and says, "This one is for you."
Xuehan's eyes are shining, and white fur is rare. A few days ago, she and her fourth sister-in-law went to a fur shop to see, and many of them were not as good as their own. "Thank you, mother."
Zhulan pointed to the black mink fur, "This one is for Rong Chuan. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Rong Chuan in the past few days. What is he up to?"
Xuehan was full of affection in her heart, "He is helping Mr. Shi copy calligraphy and painting, and has been nesting in the study."
Bamboo orchid,
"Your father praised this kid's imitation very much!"
A few days ago, Zhou Shuren asked Shi Qing to copy letters. When he came back, Zhou Shuren kept saying that Rong Chuan was a genius.
Xuehan straightened her back, she was proud of Rong Chuan, but her mouth was modest, "He is still far behind!"
Zhulan couldn't help laughing, this girl said, "Shi Qing asked Rong Chuan to copy calligraphy and painting, it's not good for me."
Xuehan's ears turned red, "Well, the reward for a calligraphy and painting is thirty taels."
There is not much homework recently, Rong Chuan has drawn five or six pictures, and Rong Chuan said that taking advantage of this rare opportunity to build another shop, this is a dowry gift for her.
Zhulan didn't want to speak any more, and the girl was not allowed to stay.
After quickly choosing the fur, Zhulan took Xuehan back to the house, the mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Xuehan went back.
In the afternoon, the snow stopped. Snowy days are the most suitable for eating pots, and pots are eaten at night.
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren, no matter how well Zhou Shuren concealed it, she could see that Zhou Shuren was suppressing anxiety in his heart!
After dinner, Zhou Shuren hugged his son, the little guy refused to be hugged, and Zhou Shuren didn't let go. The angry little guy yelled, and finally cried earth-shatteringly.
Zhulan hugged her son, the little guy didn't feel wronged, "Okay, okay, mother said Daddy, don't cry."
Zhulan noticed the finger prints on the child's arm, and patted the aggrieved little guy, but she kept looking at Zhou Shuren who was in a daze from the corner of her eye. Something terrible must have happened this time, and Zhou Shuren was so absent-minded.
Time passed by little by little, the little guy in Zhulan's arms was holding Zhulan's hair with one hand, holding onto his clothes all the time, and soon fell asleep. Zhulan carefully put down the child, and bit by bit opened the son There was nothing in his hand, and the little guy was about to wake up. Zhulan quickly put her own handkerchief into his son's hand, and patted it for a while before his son fell asleep.
Zhou Shuren frowned, "When did this kid develop the habit of grabbing things?"
Zhulan sat up, "It's been more than a month, which means that she has a long-term mind, so it's not easy to be fooled."
Zhou Shuren pressed his eyebrows. He was very busy. He came back late during this time, and he paid less attention to his son. He reached out and touched his son's fleshy face, "He is carefree, he is the happiest at home. .”
Zhulan pulled back the quilt and lay down, "It's getting late, go to bed quickly."
Zhou Shuren stood up and blew out the candles, and Zhulan and the others lay down before asking, "What happened?"
"It's shocking. The people I sent are all dead. This one is in the yamen, and the dishes I use are poisonous."
Zhulan sat up all of a sudden, shocked, Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan to lie down, "No accident will happen to someone beside me."
Zhulan pursed her lips, "There's still one thing left in the hundred secrets, how can you be sure that nothing will go wrong."
Zhulan was really frightened, poisoned, she had never been exposed to it before, but this time, she thought that once she threatened the snake, she would definitely retaliate, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
Zhou Shuren was also a little frightened, because the poison is to see the blood to seal the throat, I really think highly of him, this is to think that he has become a serious problem, speaking, if he checks slowly by himself, he will not startle the snake so quickly, it is because of the emperor The reason, a full investigation, come on, he became the first person to be retaliated.
Hard work, he has been guarding since he stepped into the officialdom, he has been gathering useful people, poisoning and other methods are all on his guard, even if there are no people sent by the emperor to follow, he is prepared.
He lost his composure because he was worried about Zhulan and the child. The son was still a baby under one year old, the most vulnerable existence.
Zhou Shuren patted Xuehan on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm really prepared, but you should restrain your family more recently."
Zhulan nodded, "Understood, I won't let them go out anytime soon."
Zhou Shuren put his arms around Zhulan, "Don't worry about me, if you dare to poison the emperor this time, you are already challenging the emperor, so you won't do anything to me easily, but I'm afraid to do it to you."
Zhulan's heart tightened, because Zhou Shuren was right, "Can I understand that, you have found the key thing?"
Zhou Shuren didn't want Zhulan to worry about it, so it's better not to know about it, "I can't tell you about it."
Zhulan opened her mouth and swallowed the words, "I won't ask any more."
Zhou Shuren was poisoned, because in the Yamen, this matter cannot be hidden.
The emperor was the first to know the news. For the emperor, Zhou Shuren was a good general and a very capable confidant. When he got the news, he sent someone to Jinzhou to protect him.
