Chapter Twenty-Nine: There Are Thieves
In the Yu Pavilion, Liu Rong was lying on the bed recuperating with resentment, and her body was moving around and she couldn't settle down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Lu looked at the uncomfortable master with a smile, picked up the embroidery basket placed on the side and handed it to Liu Rong.
"If the girl is bored, she can embroider with the slave. ”
When she heard the embroidery, Liu Rong couldn't lift her spirits.
"Little Green, what your girl hates the most is embroidery, and I don't know what happened to my father and mother, so I confiscated all my words. also said that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', where does this come from? ”
Liu Rong stared at Xiao Lu sadly, and her eyes did not hide her desire to read.
It's a pity that Xiao Lu was not moved at all, but persuaded: "Girl, the old lady must do this for your own good, and the slave also thinks that it is not good to read too much of the book." A few days ago, when the slave maid returned to her hometown, another sister in our village who was sold to a big family as a maid like me said that the girl of her family, because she had read too much love and love books, actually eloped with a man, and the lady felt ashamed, and couldn't think of hanging herself for a while, and the old man fell ill angrily, and heard that she later found the girl who eloped, but unfortunately she went to the brothel. ”
After Xiao Lu finished speaking, her eyes stared straight at Liu Rong, which means that the girl must not learn from that girl, otherwise, the old lady should be so sad.
The black line on Liu Rong's forehead fell straight down, and she couldn't hold her forehead, yes, she still embroidered to pass the time, otherwise, this girl would be open-minded, and she couldn't stand it.
Seeing that the girl was seriously learning embroidery, Xiao Lu nodded with satisfaction, moved the small stool from the side, sat under Liu Rong, and pointed out the girl's miserable stitches from time to time, and in the end she couldn't bear to look at it directly.
sighed that the girl really didn't have a talent for embroidery, and just when Xiao Lu was about to collapse, another maid, Xuemei, ran into the house in a panic.
Xuemei is Liu Rong's other maid, but she doesn't serve her closely.
Because she is smart, clever and exquisite, and her appearance is likable, as long as she is there, there is no news that Liu Rong can't inquire, so Liu Rong left her.
Seeing her enter the house in such a panic at this time, Liu Rong thought that something was wrong, and she didn't pay attention, the needle in her hand pierced mercilessly, and suddenly, the blood flowed from the white slender hand.
"Ah, it hurts. ”
Liu Rong burst into tears, what happened to her in the past few days, how unfortunate things happened to her one after another, could it be that she did something angry and resentful, but after thinking about it, she still didn't find that she had done anything excessive, except that she had occupied the identity of the original owner.
Xiao Lu glared at Xuemei fiercely, and hurriedly got up and went to get the gauze to stop the bleeding and bandage.
Xuemei knelt on the ground helplessly, "Girl, the slave should die, disturb the girl, and hurt the girl." Slaves deserve to die. ”
"Get up, it's none of your business, it's me who was careless, and how many times have I said it, don't kneel on the ground without moving, I don't like it. Liu Rong looked at Xuemei on the ground with a headache.
"Say, you're so flustered, but what's the matter?"
Seeing that the girl didn't mean to blame, Xuemei's panicked expression finally relaxed a little, and after thanking her gratefully, she reported the news she had inquired about.
"The slave maid went out of the house today to buy the silk thread that the girl wanted, and deliberately made a detour to the teahouse to inquire, and escorted the prisoner car of the criminal Feng Qingzheng, and when he passed through our Wenxian County the day before yesterday, he was rescued at night, but the officers and soldiers guarding him stabbed one of the robbers in the group. The prefect was furious and set up many checkpoints to arrest the lone robber. ”
No wonder when she came back that day, Wenxian would investigate it so strictly, but these have nothing to do with her, a woman in the boudoir, and this Xuemei girl is too embarrassed.
"That's all it deserves your panic?"
Xuemei saw the dissatisfaction in the girl's expression, her body tightened, and she hurriedly continued: "The slave maid's panic is not this, but another news, the father-in-law who came out of the palace to be responsible for picking the draft girl has arrived in Wenxian a few days ago, and I don't know where he saw the girl's portrait. ”
Liu Rong straightened up in shock, accidentally pulled her injured foot, and gasped in pain.
What kind of person is the emperor today, Liu Rong is clear, that is an out-and-out **** faint monarch, it is said that every year there are palace maids in the palace who die, and the deaths are miserable, they are all tortured by the emperor and die tragically.
Ignoring the pain in her feet, she grabbed Xuemei's hand tightly and asked, "How did you get this news?"
"Yes, it's the official messenger in the county government, they are drinking tea in the teahouse, and the slave and maid came back as soon as they heard the news. ”
The official said it himself, then there is no falsehood, Liu Rong seems to have been doused with cold water, and her whole body is cold and cold.
Xiao Lu's face also changed in shock, and she looked at the girl in a daze.
Liu Rong waved away Xuemei weakly, and Xiao Lu was left in the room.
"Girl, maybe Xuemei heard a rumor, the girl is married, the emperor is the king of a country, and he will not make a reason to rob the people's daughters. ”
Xiao Lu can only comfort herself like this, and the tone is not even very sure of herself, after all, the emperor is an omnipotent person in her tiny slave.
Liu Rong tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a far-fetched smile, pretending to be relaxed.
"Yes, I've been married, Xiaolu, you can go down too, I want to be quiet. ”
Who would have thought that the family affair she wanted to destroy would be her last duckweed, and whether this duckweed could save her is still unknown.
Xiao Lu knew that the girl was uncomfortable now, so she went down obediently.
At noon, Master Liu and Mrs. Liu didn't know where they heard the news, and the two elders changed color together, and if they watched carefully, they could see the panic and fear in their eyes.
Mrs. Liu urgently summoned all the servants in the mansion, and gave a warning and reassurance with grace and might, and then dismissed everyone with emaciated strength.
The skin that has always been well maintained has aged a lot. Liu Rong looked sadly at Mrs. Liu, who had been making herself happy, without mentioning the rumors outside.
Liu Rong's heart was sour and uncomfortable, and her eyes were sour, but she still pretended to be very happy to respond.
The gloom in Liu's mansion made people dare not pant loudly, and some trivial things did not dare to stab in front of Mrs. to annoy her.
"What's the matter? Aunt Liu, can you see the bird's nest I cooked for the girl. Mrs. Zhang asked suspiciously, looking at the empty steamer.
Aunt Liu on the side looked at the steamer strangely, shook her head and said, "It's strange, I just opened it to see if it was cooked, why did it disappear all of a sudden." ”
"Are you sure?" asked Mrs. Zhang again.
"I'm sure, could it be the little green girl who came and took it away?"
"Have you ever seen the little green girl coming?"
"No, I don't. ”
"No, it's hard for us to recruit thieves here, no, I have to go and tell Madame. ”
"Oh, Madame is dying of sorrow now, let's not bother her, so let's catch the thief ourselves tonight, and then hand it over to Madame." ”
"Is that okay?"
"Why not, just do it. ”
Similarly, in the feather pavilion.
Xiao Lu looked at the medicine box with an ugly face, and his little chest went up and down.
