072: Like a fish
Su Liniang looked at her with wide eyes, and she couldn't cry out because she couldn't bear it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Can you say that question now?"
Su Liniang bit her lip and muttered that she didn't know how to speak, she already felt that the situation was serious, although the eldest lady was powerful before, she had never had a cruel look, and she was almost forcing herself to answer now.
Just when Su Liniang hesitated, Diecui stepped forward again, raised her hand and slapped it down three times, Su Liniang shouted and begged for mercy, "I said, I said...... The house was made by my brother, and it was also the paperwork that my brother went to the household department with the master's name. ”
Su Liniang's brother is called Su Daquan, who is the head of Tianxiang Building on the same street, and all the three sects and nine streams are clear.
"Who is the Chen family's errand?"
Su Liniang was paralyzed on the ground, her face was already high, she didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and said everything she knew. "That family is Chen Gongzi's brother-in-law, whose name is under his sister's name, and his sister seems to be his brother-in-law's concubine, so I don't know anything else. ”
Xu Biyuan pondered Su Liniang's words, Chen Gongzi's brother-in-law personally came to help him buy a house? That house is not a big mansion, at best it is a small courtyard with a good location, so to speak, is that person not a dignitary, but why would Kyoto Wei rather offend Sun Shangshu and detain people, the most important thing is that he also detained those officials of the military department.
Everyone saw that Xu Biyuan's face was wrong, and they all stood quietly with their breath in silence, and they didn't dare to breathe.
At this time, Sun Yong hurried in, Xu Biyuan didn't care about the etiquette, and hurriedly retreated from the subordinates, and even Su Liniang didn't let her stay.
"How is it?, have you inquired clearly?" asked Xu Biyuan anxiously.
Sun Gang gasped slightly and said: "That person's name is Chen Xu, his sister is the concubine of Shen Hongru, the second master of the Chengping Hou Mansion, and it is the third lady of the Chengping Hou Mansion who led people to arrest people in Shuijing Hutong today." ”
"Chengping Hou Mansion?" Xu Biyuan's eyes widened, she never thought that it would be pulled to the Chengping Hou Mansion. He asked again: "Is there any news about Sun Shangshu, what is his reaction, will it implicate your eldest brother?"
Sun Yong's expression was reluctant, "Sister-in-law, there is no movement at all on Lord Sun's side, I just went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to inquire, Lord Sun went to the house of the founding marquis to drink, as if he wanted to avoid this matter." ”
This is too strange, Xu Biyuan is in a worse mood, she wants to discuss an idea with her sister, but Fujun reminded her a long time ago that she can't go to Shangshu's Mansion to find Hongjuan until she has to, and she can't let Shangshu think that they use Hongjuan as a staircaser, so that Hongjuan can sit firmly and climb high, and when she encounters a big event in the future, Hongjuan can help.
But Xu Biyuan didn't know if today's incident was a big deal.
Chengping Hou is very leisurely, today in the well alley to fight a big victory, Hongzhi in the snow in the morning in the snow two pots of breeze wine wine, in the evening Changru treated, in Qingyuntang steamed crabs to eat.
Everyone ate until the willow tops on the moon, and then they dispersed. After returning to the Hinone Cloud Pavilion for a while, the lights in the inner courtyard gradually went out.
Qiu Xi finished picking up the trivial matters of the second courtyard, returned to the lodging alone and sat down, after the change on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the maid and slave maid of the Young Cloud Pavilion were exchanged for blood, Qiu Xi was demoted to a second-class maid for the crime of poor service, managing the trivial work of cleaning up and cleaning, although she can also dominate the people below, but after all, she can not serve beside the young lady, and even the inner courtyard cannot enter after nightfall.
Qiu Xu sat on the bed for a while, preparing all the things that need to be used to get up tomorrow morning, and just about to go to bed, there was a sudden low voice from the first screening outside the door, "Sister Qiu Xu, the slave maid is here to borrow fire scissors"
Qiu Xu sat with his eyebrows furrowed for a while before walking over and opening the door for Chu Ying.
Chuying is a third-class girl newly dialed this time, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old domestic servant, who only calls her "Sister Qiuxu" in front of outsiders, and when there is no one, her eyebrows and eyes are always drooping, as if others owe her something.
"Qiu Xu, what happened to the inner courtyard the night before yesterday, did you hear about it? ”
Qiu Xu lowered her eyes and sorted out a few clothes on the desk, and said perfunctorily: "I'm the same as you, I can't go inside, didn't Mother Liao say that there are mice in the young lady's house, and everyone will get up to catch mice?"
Chuying "bah", "The ghost only believes, there are incense shells buried in the outer circles of the main house, and mosquitoes can't get close in summer, let alone rats in winter." She glanced at Qiu Xu and said sarcastically: "Why are you so useless, even if you can't talk to Hongzhi, you can talk to Chu Wen for a couple of sentences, but you can't ask two sentences?" But it's no wonder that you are so fearless, Lao Tzu and his son have been settled, but you are so wise to protect yourself, if the master knows, you are not afraid to sell you to Rouge Lane?"
Qiu Xu paused, and raised his eyes to look at her: "Sweeping the snow in front of the door, let's take care of each other." ”
"You ......" Chuying's face turned blue, her two sisters are both working in the house, although they are also slaves, but they are both in important positions, and the eldest sister is serving tea by the side of Chengping Hou, everyone dare not give her face because of her identity, why should this autumn Xu from a grange put a face on her. But Chuying can't really break with her, she and Qiu Xu are hanging on a rope, one is prosperous and one is lost, after all, Qiu Xu has been waiting in front of her, just by virtue of this, the top should look up to her.
Chu Ying was stupid, "Don't be angry with me, the boss said, let you get me to the inner courtyard before you are eighteen, and when this matter is done, I will get you out of slavery and send it back to Zhuangzi to do things." ”
Qiu Xu raised her head violently, but the joy only flashed in her eyes for a moment, Chuying is doing things for Shen Lin's family, unlike her, she not only does things for Lin's family, but there is a real master behind Lin's family, that is her main master, if she lets her know that she has other thoughts, I'm afraid she won't want to go back to the Grange in her life.
Qiu Su stabilized his mind and said to Chu Ying: "I see the opportunity to act. ”
Chuying also knew this person, and she couldn't help but remind her if she agreed, and couldn't help but remind her: "Don't forget, before the eighteenth day of the first month, don't spoil the master's business." ”
Qiu Xu's eyelids drooped, it was a gesture of sending off guests, Chu Ying was disdainful, shook his face and left.
Autumn Su was no longer able to sleep, the wind rose in the middle of the night, and the chill from the window lattice ate away all the temperature in the room little by little, Qiu Xu hugged herself tightly in the quilt, and her tears silently wet the pillow.
Just this morning, her sister-in-law came to the house to cry poverty with her, saying that her nephew had a cold and had no money to see a doctor, and that she had no money to fill in new clothes on Mother's Day.
All her belongings are only ten taels, and they have been looted by them in turn over the years, and no matter how much money she gets, she has used up all the money. Her sister-in-law was afraid of the lack of silver, and when she left, she scolded Huai and said that she was "unripe" and "white-eyed wolf", Qiu Xu was physically and mentally exhausted, as if she was walking alone in the night, there was no light in all directions, she had to grope her to crawl forward, and she had to prevent the beast from jumping out to bite her, she didn't know how long she had to go, and she didn't know if she could live to the final place.
