Chapter 3 Not like the parties
Gu Zhirong was tired of reading, so he took the book and walked towards the main hall. Seeing this, Lu Shui hurriedly called Mingyue to come over and clean up. The wisteria chair should be put away, because Miss Wu has to use it every day, so as not to be unnoticed for a while and get wet by the rain. There are also things that should be cleaned up for tea sets.
Green Water stroked the smooth and shiny wisteria chair with both hands, and his eyes darkened.
She remembered that this delicately crafted wisteria chair was given by Miss Seven. It was this season last year, the old lady sent someone to pick them up in the Hanging Ji Temple, and when they entered the Gu Mansion, several young ladies in the mansion deliberately wanted to tease Miss Seven, and deliberately pulled her over, but they didn't tell that they were here to welcome Miss Five back. At that time, Miss Seven saw that the sisters gave the prepared gifts to Miss Five one by one, her little face was flushed, and she was ruthless, and she took off the emerald jade bracelet she was wearing on her hand and made a meeting gift for Miss Five. Although the bracelet looks plain, it is the work of the master of Liuyun in the contemporary famous Fuxin Fang, both in terms of material selection and workmanship, it is absolutely superior, it can be described as priceless, and it is also the heirloom of Aunt Xia's mother's family. When Gu Zhirong saw such a precious bracelet, and then looked at Miss Seven's aggrieved and tearful eyes, he thought about it or accepted it and gave Miss Seven face. Afterwards, she asked someone to return the bracelet to Miss Seven, and Miss Seven was very grateful, and specially asked Aunt Xia to send someone to Tongzhou to find a place rich in wisteria, and spent a lot of money to make a delicate wisteria chair and bring it to Gu Zhirong.
In this back and forth, they became acquainted. Miss Seven is a concubine, and she has no part to intervene in the house, and Miss Lady in the second room of the big house in the house doesn't care much about her. And Gu Zhirong's parents died, and her situation in the house was similar to her, perhaps because of this reason, Miss Seven preferred to play with Gu Zhirong. Lushui and the others are also very happy, as soon as their own young lady enters the house, they are rejected by the second lady and others, and it is good to have someone who speaks considerately after all.
I never thought that just after the summer, Miss Seven had an accident.
Lu Shui thought that since Miss Seven went, her own Miss would definitely put all the things sent by Miss Seven on the shelf and no longer touch this sad memory. What she didn't expect was that Gu Zhirong was still sitting on this wisteria chair reading and contemplating as usual. Over time, Lu Shui finally understood that his own young lady was indifferent after learning the news that Miss Seven had gone, and she never shed a single tear, but she was extremely emotional.
Now, the world is unpredictable, fate is reincarnated, and what happened to Miss Seven happened to her own Miss again. Green Water sighed lightly, those ruthless people in this mansion forced Miss Seven to death, do they still want to force their own Miss to die before they stop?
"What are you thinking?" was pulled by Mingyue's arm.
Green Water came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing, just remembering some old things......"
After getting along for a long time, how could Mingyue not know her thoughts, and sighed: "Don't think about it, forget everything you think of." ”
Lu Shui paused and frowned slightly: "I'm a little worried about Miss...... If you hold it for a long time, will you get sick?"
Mingyue shook her head lightly: "Who can guess Miss's thoughts?" But she doesn't hide it from us...... You'll tell us when the time comes. ”
Lu Shui nodded vigorously, she knew that her own young lady was different from Miss Seven, and she was not so easy to fool.
******
In the courtyard, the three big characters on the vermilion horizontal plaque shine in the sun.
As soon as Mama Shen stepped into the courtyard, a little girl scrambled to open the curtain to let her in, and said with a serious smile: "The old lady is still talking about Mama Shen inside, but it just so happens that this time will come." ”
Mama Shen knew that the old lady must have been waiting a little anxious, so she didn't break her mouth with the little girl and walked straight in.
The main hall is spacious and bright, and Mrs. Gu is sitting on the big rosewood carved arhat bed in the north behind closed doors, wearing a navy blue silk multicolored gown, and a golden silk peony ruyi hairpin is obliquely inserted on her head. Although he is over half a hundred years old, he only has a few strands of silver hair on his temples, and he looks very young.
At this time, the old lady was holding a string of prayer beads in her hand, slowly turning one bead after another, and seemed to be very engrossed.
Mama Shen was the old lady's dowry girl back then, she had been following the old lady for decades, she was well versed in the habits of the old lady, and she knew that the old lady was waiting for her by looking at the frequency of the rosary, so she took a step forward with a smile and said: "The slave maid makes the old lady anxious to wait." ”
The old lady opened her eyes and scolded with a smile: "You old monkey, you haven't seen a single figure in the past two days, do you want to leave me, an old woman?"
Mama Shen smiled even more: "Look at what the old lady said, the slave maid's net worth and life were all given by the old lady, how could she leave the master alone? No, as soon as the slave and maid came back, she brought the news to the old lady?"
"Oh?" the old lady's eyes instantly brightened, and she looked at Mama Shen with a smile and said, "You are a good person, you know what I think." Tell me, what's the news?"
"Sister Rong is a little weird. Mama Shen said in a low voice.
The old lady's eyes instantly lit up: "What a strange method?"
Mama Shen groaned and said, "It's not like the party." ”
The old lady's eyes flashed, and she was not too surprised, as if she had expected it, and leaned back. Mama Shen hurriedly approached, took a pillow with a big red background and Fang Shengwen for her to lean on, and then said: "The slave maid has set up people in Liuyun Courtyard to find out about Sister Rong'er's current situation." I heard that the dark clouds in Liuyun Courtyard are bleak, like the sky falling, and the girls below are all panicked, listless, unable to eat and sleep, only Sister Rong is an exception. ”
The old lady showed an interested look and motioned for Mama Shen to continue.
Mama Shen said again: "Sister Rong is like a person who has nothing to do, she can eat and sleep, and she has read a book for an hour after waking up from a nap." The slave went to the back of the kitchen to check the leftovers, according to the silly aunt, Sister Rong ate deliciously, the amount of food was larger than usual, and said that Sister Rong had been in a good mood since she came back from the banquet, and she also rewarded the silly aunt with a lot of things. ”
Speaking of this, Mama Shen seemed to remember something, and said: "The slave remembers the time when Miss Seventh had an accident, but it is not like this......" Suddenly seeing the old lady's face change, Mama Shen realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly stopped, looking at the old lady with some trepidation.
The old lady was silent for a while, and sighed, "Xiao Qi is unlucky, don't mention it." What else did you find?"
Shen Mama secretly warned herself not to say the wrong thing again, thought about it, and said carefully: "The slave maid first inquired about the old women who guarded the back door of the four corners, and they all said that since Sister Rong entered the house last year, she has never sneaked out of the back door for more than a year. Also, the slave maid also found out that since the Yellow River flood the year before last, King Su was sent to treat the disaster, and he didn't rush back until the day of the lotus banquet held by Princess Zhaomin. ”
The old lady couldn't help laughing, "You don't have to check this, could it be that King Su is such a noble person who can look down on the daughter of a businessman like Sister Rong?"
Mama Shen hurriedly responded, "Yes." "It's funny to think about it. Although Miss Fifth is a third-room concubine, her mother Su is the only daughter of Su Guanshan, a big businessman in Jiangnan, and Miss Fifth is also the daughter of a businessman. How could such a humble background be seen by the noble Prince Su?
After thinking about it, I felt that the old lady had something to say, and hurriedly said: "What the old lady means is that this matter is not Sister Rong'er's original intention, but being ......."
The old lady suddenly said, "Do you remember, who were sitting next to Sister Rong at that time?"
