Chapter 221: Interrogation
Chun Tao heard this, but she didn't dare to say more, so she hurriedly went towards Mian Shui Xuan.
Chun Tao hesitated outside Mianshui Xuan for a long time, stopped a little maid in Chen's room, and asked where Liu Xiang was, and the little maid only said that Liu Xiang was accompanying the second grandmother to check the accounts.
Chun Tao didn't know whether Lin Zhixuan should let the Chen family know about Liu Xiang in the past, and she was also in a hurry, so she only secretly stuffed a tael of silver for the little girl, and asked her to quietly go and deliver a letter to Liu Xiang, saying that she was coming to her.
The little maid looked at so much silver, naturally her eyes were shining, and she didn't care about anything quietly, so she quickly accepted the silver, and said happily: "Sister, wait a while, I'll call you." ”
As he spoke, he entered Chen's house, and Chen saw that a little maid suddenly came in sneakily, so he twisted his eyebrows and asked her what was the matter.
The little girl didn't dare not answer when she asked, but said, "Chun Tao from the third girl's house came to find Sister Liu Xiang." ”
Liu Xiang, who was planning to make a plate, was so frightened that she misdialed the abacus beads.
Chen frowned and said, "What is she doing at night?"
I only asked your little girl to ask clearly, but Liu Xiang stood up and said, "I'm afraid she can't ask clearly, so I'll take a look." ”
Chen didn't say much, only continued to look down at the ledger.
Liu Xiang came out in a hurry, and when she saw Chun Tao, she was also anxious: "What are you doing here at this time?" I was waiting in front of the second grandmother, why did you find a little girl to crash into it without a head and a brain." ”
Chun Tao ignored Liu Xiang's complaints, only took her hand and said, "It's not me looking for you, it's the third girl looking for you, I look at the posture is not good, what do you say about this?"
Liu Xiang was also startled when she heard it, and it took a long time to come to her senses: "You just said that I was busy checking the accounts with the second grandmother and couldn't get out." ”
Chun Tao said: "The third girl said that if I can't invite you to go, she won't let me follow her into Beijing." ”
Liu Xiang said: "No, the third girl promised the second master, just to scare you." ”
Chun Tao looked at Liu Xiang who didn't want to go, but she was anxious: "What's the matter? Could it be that I go back like this?"
Liu Xiang was also a little at a loss, she didn't know what Lin Zhixuan was going to do, and she didn't know what to do, but she heard Chen in the room say from the window ⊥dǐng⊥diǎn⊥ Xiao ⊥, .2★3.o☆s_(); Hu Yangsheng asked, "What is the matter with Chun Tao coming?
Liu Xiang didn't dare not answer when she saw Chen's question, but she didn't dare to go, so she said to Chun Tao: "Don't be afraid, just say that the second grandmother won't let me go, and you go back, the third girl won't do anything to you." ”
Saying that, Liu Xiang entered the house, and said to Chen that Chun Tao came to ask about going to the capital to go to the box niche and the carriage and horses the day after tomorrow, and talked to her in detail for a long time.
Chen complained unhappily, and only let Liu Xiang continue to help settle the score.
Chun Tao hesitated for a long time before moving back to Xinglinju, and returned to Lin Zhixuan one by one according to Liu Xiang's words.
Lin Zhixuan sneered: "I think it's because you've been pampered for a long time these days, and you can't do this little thing, so it's time to make new rules." Get on my knees!"
Chun Tao's body shook, and she called Lin Zhixuan in disbelief: "Girl......"
Lin Zhixuan said: "Do you kneel by yourself, or do I ask Gu's mother to kneel for you?" Gu's mother's subordinates are not serious, you can think carefully." ”
Chun Tao looked at Gu's mother who came forward, but she was so frightened that she had to quickly kneel down.
Lin Zhixuan said to Qiu Ju: "You go and invite, please me in front of the second grandmother, if Liu Xiang doesn't come, you can sue her, Chun Tao is kneeling here and waiting for her, isn't she settling the account? ”
Qiu Ju responded respectfully and hurriedly went.
Xia Lan understood something, and only glanced at Lin Zhixuan in disbelief.
After a while, Gu's mother, who was waiting outside, came back and said, "Liu Xiang is here, but the second grandmother is also here." ”
Lin Zhixuan glanced at Chun Tao, who was already oozing cold sweat on her face, and said, "It's just in time." Chun Tao, don't you say?"
Chun Tao's body trembled like a sieve, but she couldn't speak.
Chen only listened to Qiu Ju's tone in Mian Shuixuan, guessing that Lin Zhixuan was going to find Liu Xiang to settle the account of Xia Lan falling into the water, and originally wanted to protect Liu Xiang and not let her come over, but he didn't want Liu Xiang to listen to Chun Tao kneeling, but he couldn't help it, and even persuaded Chen to accompany her with him, after all, this is Chen's person, doing things for her, Lin Zhixuan is not allowed to bully.
Before Chen entered the door, he looked at Lin Zhixuan's empty courtyard and said, "What kind of account is the third sister settling on this big night? Do you want someone in my house to help? Isn't Qiu Ju in the third sister's house a smart person?
Lin Zhixuan watched Chen walk in, but she didn't even get up, she just sat on the main seat, and said with a smile: "Why is Sister Chen here too?" I just have something I want to ask Liu Xiang, but I didn't think about it and alarmed my sister, sister sit, hurry up and serve tea, serve good tea." ”
Chen Shi looked at Lin Zhixuan so rude, and also frowned, but he couldn't bear to show weakness and sat on the other Taishi chair in the main hall, and said with a smile: "I only heard that my sister is also here to settle accounts, but I am curious when my sister will have this ability, and I will also come to listen and learn." ”
Lin Zhixuan glanced at Chen with a smile: "That sister can listen well and learn well, I will only teach once." ”
Chen was blocked in anger, but he only glared at Lin Zhixuan fiercely and did not speak.
Lin Zhixuan had already turned her eyes to look at Liu Xiang: "I heard that the second grandmother is busy, and all the carriages and horses I went to Beijing were arranged by you?"
Liu Xiang originally thought that Lin Zhixuan was going to ask about Xia Lan's falling into the water, but she didn't want to ask about the carriage and horses entering Beijing, but she was a little caught off guard.
Chen listened to Lin Zhixuan's words and also mentioned her thoughts, she actually wanted to ask Lin Yaxuan's mother and daughter about entering Beijing, Chen suddenly felt that she had been tricked, how could she enter this Hongmen banquet?
Chen glanced at Liu Xiang, isn't this done very cautiously and secretly? Lin Yaxuan's side hasn't even packed up the things yet, and it is necessary to wait until the evening of the 15th to get the key and then arrange for someone to clean up secretly, when the time comes, people don't know it, and they go on the road early in the morning of the 16th, and the thing is done, Mrs. Wang suffers a dumb loss, so this matter can be brought out, and naturally no one will be asked to chase it back at that time, otherwise it will be a big loss in front of outsiders. Chan wins. But how did Lin Zhixuan notice it now?
Lin Zhixuan looked at Liu Xiang and didn't answer, so she continued: "I've always heard from the second grandmother that you are a good scorer, but Chun Tao told me that there are three more carriages prepared in the outer courtyard than those prepared for me, what's going on?"
Liu Xiang glanced at Chen anxiously, and before she could speak, Chen said to Lin Zhixuan: "It's just that I'm afraid that you will be crowded on the road, and I'm afraid that there will be no carriage to replace if something happens on the road, so I arranged a few more carriages in case of emergency." ”
Lin Zhixuan listened to Chen's words, but suddenly realized, and glanced at Chen with a smile: "Oh? so that's the case...... It's just that I'm talking to a subordinate, what is my sister anxious about? I thought that Liu Xiang was in charge of the affairs of this carriage, and my sister didn't know about it, but I never thought that my sister knew more about these things than Liu Xiang, so I just asked my sister.
I heard Chun Tao say that the three carriages, one is for Lin Yaxuan and the eldest lady, one is for the maids in the West Courtyard, and one is for the West Courtyard to pack boxes and niches for luggage, what do you want my sister to say about this?"
