Chapter 79 Miss Tang was arrested
"Don't worry, Sister Xiao. I have told the workers that this tank must not be damaged. Even if it is damaged, the tank body must be exposed!" Tang Tian said with assurance.
Xiao Jiuyue was finally relieved and asked, "Does your family make pottery jars? I'd like to order a batch of large pottery jars, the kind that can hold water and are sealed."
"No problem, Sister Xiao, if you make pottery pots, I will definitely give you the most affordable price." Tang Tian said without even considering it, and then asked: "Sister Xiao, are you going to make something delicious again? Is it a delicious snack?"
"Sour radish and pickled cabbage are probably not worthy of your pastry shop." Xiao Jiuyue interrupted Tang Tian and asked, "Are those pastries I asked you to make before the New Year ready?"
"It's done." Tang Tian just remembered and quickly asked her maid Xiao Tao to bring the food box over. "This is made by the chef. Take a look and see if it tastes right. If it's good, I'll sell it in the candy shop tomorrow!"
…
The first month of the year passed in a flash. Xiao Jiuyue was at home. From Tang Tian's letters and the news that Luo Kui and others brought back from the county from time to time, she learned that the candy shop's business had been booming since the beginning of the year.
"Miss, these are some dishes and snacks sent by Shopkeeper Zeng. I wish you a happy Lantern Festival." Lianxin opened the food box. In addition to some of Fengchunlou's best dishes, there were also some snacks from the candy shop and beautiful lanterns, all of which were things that girls liked.
"Send it to the kitchen, we'll celebrate in the evening." Xiao Jiuyue took a look and put it down. Fengchunlou's business will only be better than the candy shop.
Before the Lunar New Year, Shopkeeper Zeng had given her many gifts, including meat, fish, and fine fabrics. Now, during the Lantern Festival, he was giving her gifts again? Was he hoping to continue the partnership?
"Yes." Lian Xin had someone escort her to the kitchen. Looking at the beautiful lanterns, she asked, "Miss, I heard that these lanterns are particularly lively. Are you sure you don't want to go and see them?"
"No." Xiao Jiuyue refused decisively: "It takes an hour to go back and forth from the county, and it's dark and windy at night, so it's not safe."
Now we are not in Shengjing. If something unexpected happens while watching the lantern festival, it will be too late to regret.
"I've watched Shengjing's Lantern Festival and the Qiqiao Festival Lantern Festival countless times." In Xiao Jiuyue's memory, the splendid lantern festivals were indeed worth seeing.
Lian Xin nodded in agreement. Xiao Jiuyue said, "Bring over the leftover fireworks from the New Year. If we can't go to the lantern festival outside, we can just hold one at home."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the lanterns sent by Manager Zeng, and then picked up a pen to write some riddles.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Xiao Jiuyue prepared many lanterns in the yard. Although there were not as many as outside, the atmosphere was lively. She had a lot of fun, and the fun lasted until morning.
Xiao Jiuyue practiced yoga in the room for a while. The original owner's body was very flexible, and after half a year of exercise and stretching, it became even more flexible. Coupled with the fighting moves she learned in the orphanage, she had no problem dealing with some weaklings.
After eating the meat buns made by Mrs. Geng, Xiao Jiuyue went to the kitchen, picked out some people with clean hands and feet, and taught them how to pickle sauerkraut in a large vat.
Mrs. Geng was extremely talented in cooking and could learn things quickly. After Xiao Jiuyue taught her, Mrs. Geng immediately led people to the fields and made a jar of sauerkraut.
In the afternoon, Xiao Jiuyue checked the homework of Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen, and planned to take a nap. Just as he closed his eyes, he heard Lianxin's anxious voice coming from outside.
"Oh no, oh no."
Lian Xin ran in anxiously and said, "Miss, this is bad. Miss Tang has been arrested."
"Just catch her, we'll talk later." Xiao Jiuyue was still dazed, listening to Lian Xin's words for a long time without reacting. As soon as she closed her eyes, Lian Xin's words repeated in her mind. She suddenly sat up and asked, "Lian Xin, what did you say Tang Tian caught?"
"It's not that Miss Tang was arrested, but that Miss Tang was arrested. The news from the Tang Mansion said that canned oranges poisoned someone to death!" Lianxin was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue couldn't hear clearly, so she spoke word by word.
"Impossible." Xiao Jiuyue immediately put on his shoes, stood up and walked out.
"Cloak." Lianxin grabbed a cloak from the shelf next to her, ran to catch up, put the cloak on Xiao Jiuyue, and climbed onto the carriage.
The carriage driven by Chief Steward Jin sped along. Xiao Jiuyue asked, "Tell me the details. How did the person die? Did he die immediately after eating canned oranges? Or did he die after buying canned oranges at the store?"
The carriage was moving very fast, and the noise inside was very loud. Lian Xin shook her head and said, "The person who reported the news didn't explain clearly, just said that the person is now in the county government office."
Xiao Jiuyue lowered her eyes, and Lianxin said worriedly: "Miss, what should we do? Will Miss Tang be framed?" The most important thing is, will it affect the young lady?
Lianxin looked at Xiao Jiuyue worriedly. Her young lady stayed up until 11:00 p.m. every day for Fengchunlou and the candy shop, and sometimes even until 12:00 p.m. The young lady worked so hard for the candy shop. If something really happened to Tang Tian, what would happen if the Tang family took their anger out on the young lady?
"Why are you panicking?" Xiao Jiuyue's calm demeanor reassured Lian Xin. She said, "The Tang family sent someone to report this, which means there's still room for recovery. Now, it all depends on whether Tang Tian listens to me and does what I say."
Xiao Jiuyue's voice didn't sound panicky at all. Lian Xin immediately said, "Yes, Miss, you're right. I don't think Miss Tang has any background or status at all. She'll be fine."
The carriage rushed all the way to Lancang County and was stopped by Tang Jingla as soon as it entered the city gate.
Xiao Jiuyue changed to a carriage. Lianxin wanted to get on, but was stopped. Lianxin grabbed Xiao Jiuyue's cloak and said, "No, I have to go with the young lady."
Lianxin stared at Tang Jing. If others knew that her young lady was riding in a carriage with a man from another family, wouldn’t her reputation be ruined?
"Lianxin, get in the car." Xiao Jiuyue said. Before she could ask, Tang Jing's angry words came out: "Miss Xiao, Tiantian had an accident because of the canned oranges you made."
"Second Young Master Xiao, instead of getting angry, why don't you tell me the details? Is the person dead? Where did he die? Did he die after eating canned oranges, or did he die after eating the canned oranges at home, or did he die in the store?" Xiao Jiuyue bombarded Tang Jing with questions one after another without even taking a breath.
Tang Jing was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Jiuyue continued, "Second Young Master Tang, you asked me to come here, didn't you want to find a solution? Or was it just to scold me?"
"Of course not."
Tang Jing was just anxious for a moment, and seeing that Xiao Jiuyue didn't look worried at all, he said something inappropriate. He took a deep breath and said, "The Fang family had a banquet today, and they used canned oranges. The one who died was a maidservant of Miss Fang Er. She ate canned oranges and immediately got into trouble."
