Chapter 21: First Chop and Then Play
I thought that Mrs. Cen might have been on a whim, or suddenly her conscience found something, but it was like this for several days, and Su Yiqing couldn't help muttering in her heart.
Even Xu felt that something was wrong, but her grandmother asked her granddaughter to accompany her, and she couldn't say anything.
A few days later, Mrs. Cen suddenly proposed to take Su Yiqing with her to raise her, and asked Su Yiqing to move to her yard.
This is a great honor, Xu thought that the old man was old and his temper was the same as that of a filial son, maybe he suddenly liked Su Yiqing, so he packed up and sent Su Yiqing over.
Su Yiqing herself is not very willing, how free she is in her own yard, and now she wants to move to Mrs. Cen's side, she must be careful everywhere, and there are many rules, but she can't help but be unwilling to do this, no one asks her opinion at all, she can't roll around and cry like a three-year-old filial piety and say that she doesn't want to go, right?
Mrs. Tai pointed to a small courtyard for Su Yiqing to live in.
Nothing else, Mrs. Cen saw that there were two decent girls around her, Qiu Xu and Dong Lian, who were a little older, so she pointed out to her two eleven or twelve-year-old girls, one of whom turned out to be Xin'er.
Anyone will feel a little uncomfortable facing a person who knows a secret that he doesn't know, not to mention that Xin'er is still a person with hatred, Su Yiqing has not forgotten that Xu is also one of the suspects who killed Brother Ming.
However, since Mrs. Tai has rewarded it, she can't push it off without reason, and after thinking about it, it doesn't matter if Liuxin'er is in front of her, she can also guard against it in a place where she can see it.
I carefully observed Xin'er for a few days, and saw that she was diligent and well-behaved, but the calmer the surface, the more problematic it might be.
Su Yiqing didn't want to speculate on others with the greatest malice, so she found an opportunity to send Qiu Xu and Dong Lian out and ask Xin'er alone.
"Did you figure out what I told you last time?"
Xin'er was prepared and said: "If you go back to Miss Nine, the slave maid thinks very clearly, the slave maid's life was saved by Miss Nine, and the slave maid will not mess around again." ”
This is sincere, after Su Yiqing's reminder, Xin'er inquired about the people affected by the haunted rumors, several little maids were sent to Zhuangzi or indiscriminately matched with small maids, she is also a little maid whose life is like a mustard, and naturally knows that there are many little maids whose lives have changed because of this.
Bofu is tolerant of people many times, especially maids, honestly do things without making mistakes to a certain age, if you want to redeem yourself, symbolically give some redemption silver, these years of money saved enough to redeem yourself, meet the master is happy to have something happy in the house, not only do not redeem the silver, but also reward a little dowry, if you don't want to go out, you will also marry well, although most of the objects are also people in the house, but not reluctantly, always have to be wishful thinking.
But now that she made such a fuss, those little maids fell from the clouds to the ground, unable to turn over again.
Su Yiqing nodded, as long as he is not a stupid person with a distorted psychology, he will generally not do extreme behavior, this core is bold, but his brain is not stupid, of course, ordinary smart people want to drill the tip of the horns, and the danger is definitely bigger than stupid.
However, at present, Brother Ming'er's matter is estimated to become a mystery in Bofu, and she can't find the main messenger, and she can't either.
After asking everything that should be asked, Su Yiqing wanted Xin'er to retreat, and when Xin'er retreated to the door, she suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice: "Come back, I have something I want to ask you." ”
Xin'er came up as she said, "If Miss has anything to say, just ask, and the slave will definitely tell the truth." ”
Su Yiqing asked in a voice that only two people could hear, "Do you know why Mrs. Tai is suddenly so good to me?"
Since Xin'er is a clever person and has unsolved mysteries in her heart, she will definitely pay attention to the movements around her, maybe she will know something.
Xin'er said honestly: "Mrs. Tai should want to please the third lady." ”
"Why?" Su Yiqing couldn't think of any reason for Mrs. Cen to please the Xu family, not to mention Xu's temperament, how could there be a reason for a mother-in-law to please her daughter-in-law in ancient times.
Xin'er said: "The specific slave maid is not clear, it seems to be related to the eldest lady's family affairs, but that day the slave maid heard the eldest lady say to Mama Jin on the side of the road, as long as the third lady is willing to help, this family business will be nine out of ten, but just in case, you have to make other preparations." ”
Su Yiqing was even more puzzled, what does Su Yirong's family have to do with the Xu family, and it is impossible for Su Yirong to marry Brother Xu, can Xu Yirong have a reputation like this, can he give Su Yirong any good relatives?
Xin'er, a little girl, heard such a sentence when she was cleaning in the yard, and Su Yiqing couldn't figure it out, and she didn't know it.
Also agreeing to be confused is Mama Kim.
She knew Mrs. Cen's plan, isn't it that Miss Nine will be raised by her grandmother's side, so that she will have a better reputation in the future, and then find her a good family, and the Marquis of Yongxiang will give it to the eldest lady, Miss Hengzhi Nine is still young, so there is no need to worry.
In Mama Jin's opinion, this idea is really outrageous, it is really to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and in the end, the loopholes are getting bigger and bigger, aside from the reputation of the Xu family, Miss Nine is nominally the same as the eldest lady is the princess of the Bofu, but the third master is just a low-end petty official, and after a few years, it will be nothing, and if you marry a woman from a high family and marry a woman from a low family, you can't be too low.
Not to mention that it is similar to the Yongxiang Marquis Mansion, even if it is in the second class, it is not easy to find.
is also a granddaughter, this lady's heart is too biased, not to mention that with Xu's temper, can she be willing? She is not like the eldest lady who still cares about face, and Mrs. Zhou of the Yongxiang Marquis Mansion is also alive, can she allow it? Don't make someone inside and outside when the time comes.
I thought so in my heart, but Mama Jin didn't say it, she was a subordinate, and it was okay to remind the master occasionally, she couldn't intervene in this kind of big thing, and no one could guarantee that Mrs. Cen's plan would not have the slightest possibility of completion, and even if Mrs. Cen intervened rashly to stir up this matter, even if Mrs. Tai didn't care, the eldest lady would not let her go.
However, Mrs. Cen's action still made Mama Jin stunned.
She took advantage of the opportunity for the third lady to return to her parents' house to live, and betrothed Miss Nine with lightning speed, and the order was her mother's nephew and grandson.
Mama Jin had a gut feeling that something big was going to happen, Mrs. Cen used this trick to cut first and then play, and engaged Miss Jiu, and when the third lady came back, she said that she didn't know the plan of the Yongxiang Hou Mansion, and it just so happened that the third lady had never mentioned it.
Sure enough, Xu Shi, who was under his mother's knees, heard the words from the henchmen who stayed in Bofu, and immediately jumped up, and asked her mother-in-law to set up a car on the spot, and she wanted to go back and ask Mrs. Cen what she meant.
"Hui'er. Mrs. Zhou called Xu's nickname and said in a low voice, "How many times have I told you, the more important things you encounter, the more calm you must be." ”
