Chapter 21: The Flame (2)

As soon as Suihua saw Hui Zhi, he ordered everyone in the house to go down, ready to go down early to urge him to go early, and watch the tea go outside to boil water and make tea, and send none of the maids in the house left.

Then he took Hui Zhi's hand and handed over a long piece of paper that was pinched into a paper ball and crumpled open from the wide-sleeved and narrow-mouthed pipa sleeve.

Hui Zhi looked down and really looked at it twice, and recognized it as Aunt Lin's words.

The hook is soft, and the pen is lingering, exactly like her person.

"My aunt was arranged by Mrs. Zhou to live in a small cross courtyard, when I went to see her, she didn't care about anything, just cried vigorously, the scene was too chaotic, no one saw the purse that fell on the side of the stool, and it was broken down by my aunt. Suihua's voice was steady, with hardly a trace of waves.

But his fingers clenched the wide sleeves tightly.

"Unpacking, where did you find this note?"

But she didn't pay attention to the words "future" and "mother and child" sensitively.

"The fire in my aunt's room was lit all the time, but fortunately, the girls in the side room were crazy and never slept peacefully, and they found out early. When I heard the news, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the fire was extinguished. But the mother-in-law and maids were in a hurry to extinguish the fire at first, and they didn't notice the purse. I took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and put away my purse. When my aunt saw that I was busy asking the girls to serve tea, I asked me to wait in the side room, so that she could change her clothes and say that she was afraid of smoking me. ”

The delicate Sui Hua immediately noticed that something was wrong - Aunt Zhao is quite arrogant on weekdays, and she doesn't have such big rules in front of her own girl, I'm afraid it's not that she is afraid of the smell of smoke on her clothes, but what is wrong with this dress?

She quietly stepped forward and grabbed her aunt's arm: "My aunt is frightened, how can I bother to see me?" Why don't I serve my aunt to change clothes?" After speaking, she hid her face again, "I will leave home after the New Year, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see my aunt again in the future, I was raised by my wife, but after all, my aunt gave birth to my aunt, and I must not brush off my kindness." ”

Aunt Zhao almost burst into tears, thinking of the note handed by Aunt Lin, one by one, she came to her heart, and sent the girl out to fetch water, leaving only Suihua in the house: "I got the news, don't ask where the news came from, in short, it's very reliable." ”

After saying that, he handed the note to Suihua.

Without waiting for her to unfold it, he tucked it into her sleeve: "You go back and look at it, don't say anything to anyone." Burned it after reading it,"

I don't know what Aunt Zhao thinks. I don't know if she didn't wake up from the wine last night, and she doesn't know how strict the consequences of such an act are, or if she trusts her daughter too much and even doesn't care about Aunt Lin's life or death.

Then Aunt Zhao hurried around the house looking for the purse that she had opened.

I couldn't find it, but I chattered: "I can't find it?" How can I not find it, the carpet is burned, so maybe the purse is also burned, right?"

So very good, very good.

Sui Hua looked at Aunt Zhao, who was a little stunned, and couldn't smile bitterly, but she didn't take out the purse in her sleeve.

Hui Zhi listened to Sui Hua's detailed description, it was the first time she had encountered such a scene, and her heart was a little nervous and trembling with excitement, and suddenly a little embarrassed.

Once this note falls into the hands of the people in the long house, even if Aunt Lin is pregnant with a child, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape the consequences.

Hui Zhi felt that Aunt Zhao must have not woken up from the wine.

I don't know if Aunt Lin knows that her note has fallen into her hands, will she be angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas were born.

But she was also very grateful for Sui Hua's trust in her, and even showed her the note.

"You can't keep this note. Although Aunt Lin has done a lot of wrong things, she is not the mastermind behind the scenes, if my sister believes me, she will burn this note. ”

She knows the consequences too well, if this note is seen by her parents, Aunt Lin will probably only live until she gives birth at most.

She remembered that the nurse who died early said that in the previous generations of the Qin Mansion, there was a good concubine from a family who colluded with foreign forces to frame the mother's mother's family in order to pull the main mother from the position of the main room, with the purpose of letting the Qin family take a break from the main room and straighten her up.

Unexpectedly, the matter was later revealed, and the lady of the main room sat firmly in Jiamutang, but the good concubine was punished with a cane in front of the maids and daughters in the entire inner courtyard.

In the end, she handed over a piece of white silk and told the outside that she was ashamed and committed suicide.

Even the children she gave birth to could not escape punishment, her daughter was married far away to the northwest, and her son was sent to the clan for arrangement

The good concubine from a family is still such a whereabouts in order to compete for favor, let alone Aunt Lin's identity.

It's just the daughter of a family of people who have studied for generations, and the concubine Xiucai.

also colluded with the foreign government and stretched out his hand to the girl in the second room, in a vain attempt to meddle in the affairs of the harem.

You must know that the front dynasty and the harem are closely connected, and the whole body is affected by one hair, not to mention a high-powered and sensitive figure like Shen Guifei?

The Qin family of Cheng'an Hou has always pursued the golden mean, not attached to the prince's harem, and only loyal to the imperial monarch. The girls of the Hou Mansion have never been sent into the palace on their own initiative, even if Suihua enters the palace, they should remain neutral, and the central waiter is right.

Aunt Lin introduced the concubine room, and she actually wanted to send a message for the Shen Mansion to order the girl who had not yet entered the palace to be loyal to the concubine in advance.

If her father knew, he would definitely say to her: "Her heart can be punished." ”

But Aunt Lin didn't do it alone, maybe her younger brother was controlled by the Shen family, maybe the Shen family threatened her, and maybe Aunt Lin was also coerced by the Shen family to pass on the word for her.

None of this was known, so she offered to burn the note. After all, it's not a big move, and she's not a decisive person like her parents.

What's more, Aunt Lin is pregnant now.

Sui Hua was noncommittal, watching Hui Zhi throw the note in the lampshade and burn it to ashes, her face did not change at all.

Hui Zhi invited her to have breakfast at the Yuhua Pavilion, and after the two ate quietly, Hui Zhi sent someone to send her back. He took Yifang and got up to go to his mother to say goodbye.

The door of Jiamutang was a little messy, and she went down to inquire with great eyes, and Hui Zhi went to see her mother in the main hall.

My mother was having breakfast with my father, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly beckoned her to eat with her. I just ate with Sui Hua in the Yuhua Pavilion, probably with their own thoughts, and the food was not very good. She sat down with kindness, and Ruri stepped forward to add dishes and chopsticks for her.

Eat silently, sleep silently.

After the dishes and chopsticks were removed, Linglong entered the house and saw that Hui Zhi was also there, and was hesitating, but she didn't expect Qin Weien to speak: "But it's okay to say." ”

She replied with a fifteen-ten.

Hui Zhi listened, it turned out that Aunt Lin didn't know what was going on, she had fetal gas, she saw red slightly, and her abdominal pain did not stop. The doctor came over and said that Aunt Lin was worried and had a bad pregnancy.

Aunt Lin has only been diagnosed for a little more than a month, and it is not stable.

This time is quite interesting, Hui Zhi couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips.

Aunt Zhao had a fire there, and Aunt Lin had fetal gas. Saying that it doesn't matter to them, she won't believe it if she is killed.

Qin Weien also frowned slightly, but he didn't mean to ask any more. He asked Hui Zhi a few words about her daily necessities, and then got up and went to the outer courtyard.

After listening to Linglong's report, the mother only gave a few words, and after rewarding the medicinal herbs, she said no more.

Time passed quickly, and after another heavy snowfall, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

This is the first time that Jiang Caiqiong has spent the New Year outside after entering the Silent Valley to apprentice. The Cheng'an Hou Mansion was lit up everywhere, and the maids all changed into newly-made peach-colored armors early, neat and tidy, and spirited, which made people happy when they saw it.

She also served the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Mrs. Sun spoke, and there were no outsiders in the family meal, and there was no partition screen. The old lady and the young master sat at a table, Jiang Caiqiong and the girls sat at a table, and the aunts also set a table in the side hall.

Lin is not here, she is still raising a baby in An'an. Since the doctor said that her pregnancy was not good, she has been extra careful and careful.

Qin Weien got up and said New Year's greetings, and the whole family raised their glasses.

Jiang Caiqiong drank the wine, and with a flicker of her eyes, she saw the eldest son and grandson, Qin Yuan, who was sitting at the middle table.

Senior Brother Mingyuan of Silent Valley.

The girls' table was full of plum blossom wine, and the light floral fragrance and wine smell reminded her of the time in the valley.

Senior Brother Mingyuan is very good at taking care of people, and he is more proper and meticulous than Senior Brother Pei, who is dedicated to practicing martial arts, and his own brother Yi Kite, who is immersed in studying medicine and poison.
