Chapter 91: Jade Pendant
After going downstairs for breakfast, Yun Mengyao gave Liu Qianqian a look, Liu Qianqian understood that she had something to say, so she put down the teacup and said softly: "Mengyao, follow me upstairs to sort out the books in the small study, I see that the weather is good, you can take it out to dry, it will be moldy if you put it like this."

Liu Qianqian went to the second floor, first went back to the courtyard and took out the key to the study door, this study has been locked by her mother since Liu Qianqian remembers. After Liu Qianqian came over, she didn't change this habit, thinking that Tao Mi'er asked the original owner to do this, there must be some secret in the study, during this time, she also deliberately went in to look for it, except for the medical book, there was no other discovery, and that medical book is nothing special for ordinary people, and those who don't understand medicine are afraid that they won't even look at it when they go in. She also guessed that there might be other medical books, but after going back and forth through the books on the shelves, she couldn't find any other books on medicine.
"Miss, last night Aunt Feng came back and said that the master was resting in Aunt Li's yard last night, and when Aunt Sun's yard caught fire, it was the old housekeeper who personally called the master to get up. The maid heard Sister Hongmei say this morning that the master didn't let Aunt Li get up, and Aunt Li ordered to leave the door for the master, but the master didn't go back. Yun Mengyao sorted out the books on the bookshelf and told Liu Qianqian the news that Aunt Feng and she had heard this morning.
"Alas, Aunt Li did this inappropriately, even if her father allowed her not to get up, she had to insist on going over and seeing, anyway, she is now in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard, how can she not come forward if such a big thing happens. Liu Qianqian sighed and said, I have to say that even if the second aunt can't do it in private, she does the big things without leaking, which does not make Master Liu dissatisfied and has been in power for so many years. If Aunt Li can't learn these tricks, I'm afraid it won't be long before the second aunt will ***** even if she is tall, the second aunt will bear the brunt, after all, Aunt Hu is pregnant, and the fourth aunt Wu is the one who sways from side to side. If she really came to this point, what would she have to come up with? Even if she was afraid of Sun Ping's methods and did not expose the adultery between the second aunt and him for the time being, she would take Master Liu and Taoxi to meet him. Just because the second aunt ****, the first thing to deal with is herself, although she is not afraid, but no one wants to live a careful life. However, she will use the second aunt to test the medicine but has to put it aside for the time being, she is really in a hurry, and the second aunt is likely to jump over the wall in a hurry and turn over her own affairs.
"Miss, do you want to talk to Sister Hongmei tactfully, and let her usually mention the third aunt. Yun Mengyao thought about it and asked tentatively.
"No need, we don't know what Hongmei thinks, besides, if she can understand this, she will remind the third aunt last night. Liu Qianqian shook her head and said.
Yun Mengyao saw that Liu Qianqian didn't want to continue to say this, so she didn't say anything anymore and carefully packed up the books on the shelf.
"Meng Yao, who asked you about me this morning?" asked Liu Qianqian as she took out a history book mixed in with a miscellaneous book and put it on another shelf.
"In addition to Hongmei in the second aunt's courtyard, Sister Cui'e in the fifth aunt's courtyard, and the Lingzhi beside the second aunt, the housekeeper Meng Pozi in the big kitchen, the second steward in the laundry room, Sister-in-law Sun Qing, and the Wu Pozi who guards the door in the backyard. By the way, Aunt Feng said that the old man also sent the old housekeeper to come over to inquire in person. Yun Mengyao thought for a while and said.
Liu Qianqian nodded, "Meng Yao let Aunt Feng have time to contact Mrs. Meng, Mrs. Wu and that sister-in-law Sun Qing, if they want to ask something, just choose what they can say." ”
Yun Mengyao nodded and said, "The maid is awake, after cleaning up these, I will talk to Aunt Feng." ”
After explaining these, Liu Qianqian held a book in her hand and fell into contemplation, originally she thought that this house was just a fight between a few aunts, but now it seems that this is not entirely the case, what is the relationship between these three unrelated people and this house, and the others she can't remember clearly, the big kitchen manager Meng Pozi, but she remembered it when she was a child, when she was a child, the original owner once naughty ran to play in the big kitchen yard, this Meng Pozi also stuffed a jade pendant with an emerald green cylinder carved unicorn pattern to her, when the original owner was happy to take it back to her mother Tao Mi'er, Tao Mi'er immediately seemed a little flustered, but also reprimanded the original ownerSince then, the original owner has not dared to accept other people's things at will.
At this moment, Meng Yao suddenly asked, "Miss, there is a box here, do you want to take it out?"
Liu Qianqian hurriedly put down the book in her hand and walked over, the box was placed behind the bookshelf near the wall, blocked by some books that are almost rare to read.
"Take it out, I'll see. Liu Qianqian commanded.
Yun Mengyao reached out and took out the box, and used the clean rag in her hand to clean up the dust on it, and then handed it to Liu Qianqian.
The box is very delicately made, made of mahogany, hand-carved texture, and looks like a jewelry box containing precious jewelry, with a small key inserted in the box. Liu Qianqian gently turned the key, and only heard a click, and the box popped open by itself.
Liu Qianqian looked at it fixedly, and it turned out that she had just thought of the jade pendant, and her mother actually hid it here. This lotus courtyard was built by his father and mother when he was one year old, but the books in this study were three years old, and when he lived with his mother, his mother personally bought them, some of them were read by his mother, some of them were from his father, and most of them were bought by his father from the face. Dad often said that my mother wanted me to study more and be a good girl in the future.
"This is what my mother gave me when I was a child, and I never found it, but I always thought I had lost it here. It must be my mother who is afraid that I will break it, so she deliberately hid here. Liu Qianqian said with surprise, reached out and took the jade pendant in the box in her hand, and looked at it carefully for a long time. In his heart, he was thinking about whether to use this pendant to ask Meng Pozi for clarification.
"It turned out to be a relic of Madame, so beautiful, at first glance, it is a high-quality material. Yun Mengyao followed and looked at it carefully a few times before saying.
"Well, everything my mother left me was excellent. Liu Qianqian nodded and said, she still decided to wait and see, except for the time when she was a child, the mother-in-law in the big kitchen has not looked for herself again.
Suddenly, she remembered something, so she talked to Meng Yao, and took the box to Lian Wu and Xin'er's room.
"Lady auspicious. Lian Wu and Xin'er were sitting on a bed doing embroidery, and when they saw Liu Qianqian coming in, they hurriedly got up and got out of bed to give a salute. (To be continued.) )
