Chapter Twenty-Three: The Servant Falls into the Water
Fu Liluo looked at the little maid who was looking forward to the door of the mansion with a shallow gaze, hooked his lips, and walked over.
"Miss, where have you been? Why don't you bring the slave and maid?" As soon as Manluo saw her own young lady, her whole body stuck to her like kraft candy, holding her arm, and her little mouth was so pouted that she couldn't wait to hang up an oil pot.
She was very unhappy, when she woke up, where was the figure of the young lady!
"You Nizi still blame me, you sleep so dead, why do you call you?" Fu Liluo pretended to be angry and shook off her hand.
This girl usually likes to sleep soundly, but today she wants to sneak to the old mansion alone, in order not to reveal her identity, she must not even be able to bring mandarins.
So I put some ** in the tea of mangrove, in order to make her sleep more deeply, she is good at acting alone, not that she doesn't trust her, just because if her identity is known, her life is also in danger, and besides, she knows that she is not Gu Xi but Fu Liluo, but she is afraid that if she is not panicked, it will ruin her big thing.
Thinking about it, I felt a little guilty in front of the little maid, "No, I bought it for you." ”
She took it out from behind her like a trick, and threw it to her a vegetarian brocade wrapped in food, which was the osmanthus cake she deliberately came out of the snail shop, crossed half the street, and turned to Jinzhenfang to buy.
Knowing that this little maid is a foodie, just comfort her a little!
Manluo's bitter face suddenly burst into laughter, "I know that Miss feels sorry for the slave." Affectionately took Fu Liluo's hand and went in.
Before the two of them reached the door of the flower hall, they bumped into the second lady in a hurry at the corridor, followed by several maids.
"Xi'er, where have you been? It's almost time to eat, and your father asked me to look for you!"
The second lady, Yang Suqin, greeted her with a light smile......
During this time, according to the grandmother of Yifeng Pavilion inadvertently mentioned it, she finally figured it out:
These two ladies were originally the concubines raised by Otsuka Zai outside, only because Gu Xi's biological mother Shen Xingruo, the only mother of Otsuka Zaifu, could not allow her to enter the house, so Otsuka Zai gave up, and Gu Qian, who had just been promoted to Otsuka Zai, had a deep relationship with his wife Shen Xingruo and his wife, and was afraid of the power of the Changxing Earl's Mansion, so it was not until Shen Xingruo died of dystocia that Yang Suqin entered the house in the name of taking care of her sister and brother, but poor that Gu Xi was only five years old and had no biological mother, and the newly born weak brother Gu Xuan was kneeled by Yang Suqin day and night。
Stunned, Fu Li Luo stepped forward, "I woke up from a sleep, and I was a little hungry, so I went to Jinzhenfang to buy some food, and went to Luoyifang to order new clothes." ”
She spoke carefully without revealing a trace, only to see that Yang Suqin's suspicious and thoughtful eyes quietly faded.
"Hey, Baba, let you do it yourself! If you want to eat that, just send a little maid to go" Yang Suqin sneered, looked at the indifferent Fu Liluo, and frowned slightly, "Erniang knows that you love beauty, and I will prepare the clothes for you to go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion early." ”
While laughing, he took Fu Liluo's hand and entered the flower hall......
Fu Liluo was about to withdraw his hand, and when she glanced at the people waiting in the flower hall, she led her in with a light smile.
"Xi'er, I'm waiting for you to eat! Where have you been?"
The big mound Zai Gu Qian on the throne, his eyes were fixed, and he fell on Fu Liluo, who was bending his knees and giving a salute.
Amber eyes were very admiring, admiring this daughter, he thought that she was still as willful and reckless as before, who knew that as soon as he came back, he would hear the good news that she had won the battle! It is really worthy of her and Shen Xingruo, no matter how you look at it, they are outstanding, but Gu Xi suddenly changed his sex, looking at the daughter who was generous and polite in front of him, Gu Qian's eyes were full of love.
Raising her eyes full of worry at the ancient money, she stood up and repeated what she had just said.
"Alright, alright, let's eat! ”
Gu Qian picked up a piece of steamed fresh fish and handed it to her plate.
Fu Liluo looked at the people present, as if there was one person missing, and when she looked at the cold eyes of the young man above, she frowned lightly, "Why is Sister Yunhua not here today?"
Looking at the second lady next to Gu Qian, she curled her lips.
As soon as the words came out, a cold snort immediately flew over, "Don't pretend to be a good person, it's not because of you, the second sister..."
Less young sneer.
There was a snap, the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground.
Everyone was shocked, and saw Otsuka Zai Tie on the throne with a blue face: "Don't talk nonsense, Yunhua is a ** disease with a head disease, what does it have to do with your eldest sister?" Gu Qianqi's mustache trembled, and he looked at the white-clothed young man present with an angry face.
Gu Xuan hurriedly got up and bowed his waist: "The son lost his words for a while, and asked his father to calm his anger, but the son didn't dare anymore." ”
Fu Li Luo looked at the young man with his eyelids lowered, his slender eyelashes fluttered back and forth due to nervousness, his heart was slightly hot, and he stood up: "Father, Brother Xuan is also young and ignorant, and the children's family is just talking nonsense! ”
Qing Li's tactful voice struck, and Gu Qian's face softened a lot.
stroked his trembling beard and looked at the young man: "Xuan'er, Xi'er and your mother are born, you should be closer to her, so that your mother can rest assured." ”
Gu Xuan responded again and again, glancing at Fu Liluo, who had a light look in his eyes.
"Oh yes, there are children who quarrel for a while, don't be angry, let's eat!"
The second lady, who had been sitting silently, hurriedly greeted.
He glanced at Gu Xuan lovingly: "Xuan'er, sit down and eat!"
As he spoke, he scooped a bowl of minced meat and put the white jade lotus seeds in front of the young man, and looked back and forth on Fu Liluo with half-squinted eyes.
I became more and more curious about the girl here, could it be that a person changed sex so quickly?
She remembered that Gu Xi was very disgusted with her brother before falling into the water, and the two of them could be said to have reached the point of hating each other, and they didn't even say hello when they met on weekdays, like a stranger, which was exactly what she wanted to see.
Shen Xingruo, that slut, loves her for the master, she is a young lady from a big family, she doesn't let her go over, even if she kneels with a big belly and begs her, she also coldly turns her head and leaves, Yang Suqin clenched her hands and looked at Fu Liluo with vicious eyes.
Although Fu Liluo lowered his head to eat, the cold light projected on the opposite side saw it in his eyes without a trace.
Suddenly frowned and looked at each other, Yang Suqin picked up the chopsticks in a panic and was about to pick up the white water chestnut in the dish in front of her, but unexpectedly her hand shook, and the chopsticks almost fell, "Master, the concubine is worried about the girl in Yunhua, go over and take a look first......"
Yang Suqin bent down in front of Otsuka Jae, and the grandmother next to her was about to take her hand, when suddenly, a thin footsteps came.
"Oh no, second lady, Chaoyunxuan has a maid who fell into the lake......"
The emaciated mother-in-law knelt on the ground and pointed in a panic in the direction of Yun Xuan.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stood up.
The young man had already moved out, frowning, and pulled the other mother-in-law: "Then, the second sister is okay, right?
With that, he galloped away......
Fu Li Luo folded his hands, raised his eyes to look at the back of the anxious young man, and wrinkled his eyebrows thoughtfully.
He paced to Gu Qian and stood still: "Father, daughter will also go to see ......"
Gu Qian also got up in horror and took her hand: "Xi'er, don't get too close to the lake, just watch it from afar." ”
walked to Yang Suqin, let his good life take care of Gu Xi, and instructed a few more words, roughly asking Yang Suqin to check well, who fell into the water for what reason, after the order, sighed, turned around and went to the front yard wing.
Yang Suqin responded softly, and rushed to Chaoyunxuan with everyone......
Chaoyunxuan, on the peach-colored soft couch, Gu Yunhua was full of green silk hanging on the edge of the bed, panting slightly, "Xiao'e, cough..... cough ..... "She listened to the steps getting closer and closer outside, and the cough became more and more severe.
When the young man walked in, Gu Yunhua on the couch had already turned slightly red, and tears were in his eyes: "Hey, Cuiliu, why are you so careless.....!
The young man was stunned, Cuiliu? Isn't it the servant girl he saw that day? That day he went to look for the second sister, as if he saw a handmaid in green clothes kneeling on the ground, he didn't care about those handmaidens at all on weekdays, and naturally he wouldn't take a second look, but that day, he vaguely heard the cry, raised his eyebrows and glanced at it, and vaguely saw the palm print on the red mark on the maid's face.
He thought suspiciously, but was interrupted by the voice of the woman on the bed, "Brother Xuan, you said, I just asked her to wash a few handkerchiefs for me, why did she fall down!"
Gu Yunhua shed tears of grief and resentment, and his mind was a little trance.
Xiao'e on the side had a pale face, trembling and shaking, she just saw it..... I saw it......
suddenly
There was a miserable howl outside:
"Cuiliu! my good dear, you died so miserably! Why did you fall! How can you let me live......."
The dry trees in the yard squeaked with the cold wind, and Fu Liluo followed everyone over.
The cold wind rushed straight to the neck socket, accompanied by the terrible cry in the ears, which actually added a bit of weird atmosphere.
Everyone had numb scalps and did not dare to look at the calm and waveless lake.
Manluo was close to Fu Liluo, and a chill hit her heart..... , I only saw her two days ago, why did she stumble today?
A cold sweat broke out in his heart, and he pinched his young lady's wrist: "Miss, miss....."
When I saw the clear eyes projected by my own lady, I was full of understanding.....
Hurry up and follow the young lady into the skirt.
"Mother, sister, I'm so scared, why do you say Cuiliu is so pitiful? ”
The ancient cloud painting on the couch threw herself into Yang Suqin's arms, and her pale little face was full of sadness, which made people feel no pity when they saw it.
"Second sister, you can't be resurrected after death! The eyes of the weak and emaciated young man on the side were full of pity.
He coughed as he spoke.
The little guy on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"Xuan'er, you are weak, something like this has happened in this courtyard again, it is very unlucky, and the sky is getting dark, you should go back and rest quickly!"
and ordered the little maid-in-law to carry him back.
The young man's face was indifferent, and he got up and looked at Gu Yun's painting on the couch: "The second sister must have a good rest, don't be too sad!" glanced at Fu Liluo next to the couch, took down the cold light under his eyes, and walked out with his legs.
Fu Li Luo looked at him lazily, constantly thinking about what Gu Yunhua had just said, washing the veil, this big night, why did Gu Yunhua ask Cuiliu to wash the veil? Isn't it better to wash it during the day? Could it be that Gu Yunhua did it on purpose? Gu Yunhua said that she was crooked?
How did she see her lying on the couch? Or who told her?
Do you still remember that Manluo told herself that Cuiliu wanted to go to her Yifeng Pavilion and didn't want to stay in Chaoyun Pavilion, why did Cuiliu rush to go to Yifeng Pavilion? It must be that she couldn't stay in Chaoyun Pavilion, so she wanted to take refuge in her? Or was it because Manluo said that Cuiliu was really abused by Gu Yunhua**, so she wanted to take refuge in the new master? In short, no matter what it was, Cuiliu must have offended Gu Yunhua because of something.
The pale plain hand secretly supported his forehead, and his deep eyes looked at those mothers-in-law carefully.
Suddenly, her eyes sank, and she caught a glimpse of the woman standing by the corner of the window, and there was obviously a bowl-sized mark on the calf of the mother-in-law, and the blue satin of the shoes looked like something stained with yellow earth.
When she raised her eyes again, her expression tightened, isn't this mother-in-law the emaciated mother-in-law who just followed and went to tell her, the one behind?
When she was in the flower hall, the first thing she noticed was her, skipping the emaciated mother-in-law she had told earlier, this mother-in-law was stout and stood there with a low face and an indifferent face, she was very curious, the big guys were flustered, she was calm, so she looked at it twice.
The strong mother-in-law Xu noticed that someone was looking at her, so she looked at her boldly, Fu Liluo hurriedly turned her eyes and walked to the couch alone: "Sister, did she hear any sound when she fell into the water?"
Gu Yun's eyes flickered, and his eyebrows frowned: "No, I was dizzy today, and I kept lying on the couch until I saw Xiao'e running in in a panic crying." ”
Fu Liluo leaned on the side of the bed, looked at the maid Xiao'e who was crooked at the foot of the bed, and saw that her face was gray and dirty, and her lips trembled as if she was in a dream.
It seems that this little maid is really frightened! Her clear eyes probed for Xiao'e......
