Chapter 20: The Old Lady Summons
But said that Fu'er was overjoyed when she saw Dongxue coming to her. 『』
Although both of them are in this mansion, one is in the old lady's courtyard and the other is in the courtyard of Hongqi, they usually have their own things, and the old lady is exempt from morning and dusk, so the sisters rarely see each other.
Fu'er took Dongxue's hand and asked this and that, very affectionate, but found that Dongxue seemed to be a little out of state.
Fu'er asked what was wrong with Dongxue.
Dongxue grinned and wanted to say, but finally said, "No, it's nothing, I'd better go back." ”
Dongxue is earnest, and she doesn't have as many connections as Qiushuang; It's not like the spring breeze that enters the house early, and some senior girls are good sisters; It's not like Xia Xi, there is a red three fingers behind it.
She thought about it, and only this sister who worked in the old lady's yard might know a thing or two about this matter. Without thinking, here we are.
But when Fu'er asked, she felt that something seemed wrong and was about to leave.
How could Fu'er let her go knowing that Dongxue was difficult, of course, she must ask. Dong Xue couldn't resist her questioning, so she told her what Red Qi asked her to investigate.
Fu'er knows about this.
After all, she is a second-class girl in the old lady's yard, a little more noble than the big girl in other yards, and her popularity has always been good, and she knows a lot of things. Although this matter is also confidential, there are not many people who know about it, and Fu'er is also one of them.
It's just that anyone can know about this matter, and the one in Wutong Courtyard can never know.
Fu'er's face kept changing.
Dongxue knew that she was embarrassed by her sister, so she forced a smile and said, "Sister doesn't have to be embarrassed, I'll tell Miss when I go back that I can't find out." Miss is not an unsympathetic master, and she will be fine. ”
Having said that, there was a worry on his face. I hope that the spring breeze and the others don't inquire about it, otherwise, it will seem that she is too incompetent.
After speaking, Dongxue said goodbye dejectedly, drooped his head, and dragged his feet out.
When Fu'er saw it, her mouth moved several times and closed several times. In the end, I finally couldn't help but call the winter snow.
"I'll sue you, but don't say I said it when you go back, you know?"
Fu'er admonished.
didn't know that outside her window, someone showed a smug smile and left in a hurry. After a while, the big girl Guixiang came and brought Fu'er and Dongxue over to question.
God, it's starting to get dark at this time.
The time is over, and the tired bird returns to the nest.
Red Qi cleared his thoughts, took a nap, and got up. Xiaolan was serving her meal, and the girls who went out came back one by one.
"Miss, I'm back."
Autumn Frost was the first to go out and the first to come back.
Her voice was a little dull and she looked tired.
She had been out and about all day, and had heard a lot of miscellaneous news, but nothing particularly useful. A few people seemed to know something, but they were all secretive about it. When she asked in a hurry, she said, "Miss Qiushuang, just spare me, I really don't know anything", and turned around and left after speaking, not giving her a chance to ask again.
Immediately afterward, the spring breeze also returned.
She frowned, and she went to find Su Xin beside Miss Six. As a result, Su Xin was pulled by Miss Six and Miss Four to play cards, and when she saw her going, she was also pulled to play. I thought that the game would be dispersed at noon, but as a result, Miss Four left, and Miss Ten came again, shouting to continue. I went all day, but I didn't hear anything. But time was almost over, and I had to come back like this, and I was very annoyed.
Then, Xia Xi also came back, but his face was full of anxiety.
"Miss, I have something important to say."
The hearts of autumn frost and spring breeze tightened, and they looked at Xia Xi in disbelief.
Could it be that Xia Xi inquired about something?
Hong Qiben didn't have much hope, but when he heard her say this, he was a little happy. Anyway, she was eight minutes full, and she shouldn't eat too much for dinner, so she asked Xiaolan to remove her things, and only the autumn frost and spring breeze were left in the house. What Xia Xi wants to say, they are also involved anyway, and they can't avoid them. Dongxue hasn't come back yet, but since Xia Xi said it was important, she didn't have to wait for her.
"Say it."
Red Seven ordered.
Xia Xi took a deep breath, and his slightly flustered face calmed down. It's not that there is no way, it's still too late.
Xia Xi said Hongsan's speculation and solution in a deep voice.
Red Seven was a little surprised.
In her observation, among the girls, the spring breeze is the most scheming; Xia Xi's tongue is clever, quick to react, and bold; Autumn frost is cheerful and popular; Dongxue, I really don't see any big strengths, I'm just obedient and I don't know if I'm barely one.
Even the spring breeze didn't see anything, but Xia Xi could think about it much less than her, and proposed a solution that was not too good, but it could also be regarded as a middle strategy for drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, which was very unexpected by Red Qi. However, it was an accident that surprised Red Qi.
If Xia Xi has this ability, in the future, there will finally be a girl by her side who can support the scene.
However, for Hong Qi, the solution to this matter is not the only one, her method is much better than Hong San's, and there will not be so many troubles.
On the contrary, she can benefit from it.
She is confident, and a few girls are not as calm as her.
"Miss, what is the matter now? Although Xia Xi's idea is good, I am afraid that our people will not be able to go out lightly now. ”
Chunfeng said with a worried face.
"Miss, I'll figure out a way to go out and deliver the news."
Qiushuang volunteered to say that the news was not detected, and she didn't think of a way, but she could still help in this matter.
"Miss, the sooner this matter is decided, the better, I'm afraid it won't give us too much time."
Xia Xi urged.
At this moment, I only heard the sound of footsteps outside.
Is Winter Snow back?
A few people were thinking, but they heard the girl say, "Miss, it's Sister He'er next to the old lady who is here." ”
A few girls chuckled in their hearts.
"Come in, please."
Hong Qi hurriedly said, only to see that there was a girl with crooked eyebrows and eyes, who seemed to be smiling even if she didn't smile, tall and tall, plain clothes, and only a pearl hairpin on her sideburns. This is the old lady's favorite girl, the crane.
The crane came in and gave Hong Qi a salute first.
"Say hello to Miss Seven."
"Sister He'er doesn't have to be polite." Hong Qi smiled, helped the crane up, and said politely: "Why did my sister come here in person?" Who doesn't know that the old lady can't leave you for a while, just call a little girl to come over and spread the word. ”
Then he asked, "How is the old lady?" ”
"Good. It's that the old lady thinks that Miss Seven is panicked, so she asked me to come over and ask Miss Seven if she has eaten, and if she hasn't eaten, she will go over to eat with the old lady and gossip. ”
Hong Qi said: "I ate a little, but as soon as I heard the old lady say this, I was hungry again, so I had to go to the old lady's place to bother." My sister waited, I changed my clothes and went with my sister. ”
Hongqi went to change his clothes behind the screen and went with He'er.
A few girls wanted to go with them, but the old lady said that maybe Miss Stay there to rest, if she didn't rest there, she would personally send Hongqi back, so there would be no need for a few girls to accompany her.
The spring breeze left behind was restless, and every moment seemed to be tormenting.
When I came out, it was completely dark outside.
In winter, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer.
The crane carried a lamp and illuminated the road in front of him, telling Hongqi to be careful from time to time. Hong Qi casually pulled the family with He'er, asking her where her home was, and who else was in the family.
He'er was still a little vigilant at first, but seeing that Hong Qi was completely defenseless, and asked the closest family member, he unconsciously relaxed. Later, when he talked about the troubles of his youngest brother, he couldn't help laughing. I thought to myself, it is said that after people have experienced heavy changes, they are like a different person. Isn't? The previous Miss Seven was cold and difficult to get close to. It's like now, it's like a spring breeze.
Just when He'er's defense was at its lowest, Hong Qi suddenly asked, "Is Dongxue at the old lady's?" ”
I haven't seen her come back, but the crane came, which was too coincidental.
Red Seven was a little skeptical.
"Yes."
The crane replied casually, and after answering, he reacted, and his vest broke out in a cold sweat.
can become the most powerful big girl around the old lady, and her mouth is extremely firm. However, she told the truth lightly. Crane's heart was terrified, and she looked at Hongqi's eyes like looking at a ghost.
It's really just a very simple application of psychology.
When you ask someone a word, when you ask irrelevant questions, people usually don't lie. And when telling the truth becomes a habit, when you ask him a sensitive question, he is likely to answer subconsciously out of inertia. At this time, the answer obtained is very true.
Of course, this method of asking questions is also very skillful, and it cannot arouse the alarm of the other party, otherwise, the previous efforts will be wasted.
Red Seven and his companions often use this as a game to play each other's secrets, and if they are not careful, they will sometimes be tricked. Not to mention a girl like He'er.
Striking while the iron was hot, Hong Qi continued to ask, "Did the old lady ask me to talk about this matter because she knew what I asked Dongxue to do?" ”
This time, the crane pursed her lips and refused to answer. But her increasingly shocked eyes and expressions betrayed her.
People are not only called language when they speak, but also gesture language, body language and expression language, which can show a person's inner thoughts.
It is not uncommon for people to be able to disguise or even disguise this, but they need to be specially trained. There are not many ordinary people who can disguise themselves, and even fewer people who can disguise them perfectly.
Red Seven smiled.
"Thank you, Sister He'er, I see. Don't worry, I won't ask again, let's go. ”
On the next road, Hong Qi really didn't ask again, didn't even say anything, just walked quietly behind He'er. He'er's mood along the way was very uncalm, she couldn't figure it out, obviously she didn't say anything, why did Hongqi say that she knew. Did she really know or was she just saying that?
She looked at Hong Qi from time to time out of the corner of her eye.
