Chapter 58: Thief
Although Mrs. Yao will only arrive at the right time, Luo Yinyin got up early in the morning, trying to arrange everything well, and specially sent the Liu Yi family to watch the kitchen, and what about the Song family, who was originally in charge of the kitchen? It was with Mama Sun, who was in charge of procurement, who was working hard in the warehouse, and the people in the house who had a little eye could not help but notice the subtle changes in those two people. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info there are already many people who are attached to the Liu Yi family.
Everything seemed so orderly, but Mama Zhao felt that this could only be a stormy tranquility, she woke up almost early, and waited by Pianjiao's side, waiting for Pianjiao's orders.
Pianjiao once said that Mrs. Yao would be unlucky as soon as she arrived here, but in the past few days, Miss didn't seem to have any new orders, which made Mama Zhao wonder, could it be that Miss was just thinking like this?
Unlike Mama Zhao, who was anxiously waiting for the arrangement, she slept for half an hour longer than usual on this day, and got up and washed slowly.
Seeing Mama Zhao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, I guessed Mama Zhao's thoughts, and saw her smile and said: "Didn't a few mothers-in-law invite Mama to eat and drink yesterday, why did you get up so early." ”
Mama Zhao handed over the towel that had been soaked in water and said: "Yesterday, the mother-in-law also learned from the young lady to make shabu-shabu, and the food was warm, and she drank too much wine for a while, and she had a headache when she went back, and she woke up early." ”
As soon as he heard this, the corners of his eyes seemed to smile, and he took the towel handed by Mama Zhao and said with a smile: "Oh? I didn't expect this shabu-shabu to be so popular. ”
Mama Zhao then said a few more compliments, and saw that she was really holding back, so she didn't hang her appetite, and said: "Mama, Mrs. Yao is coming to the house today, I remember that there are two grandmothers around Mrs. Yao, one is happy every day, she is used to talking, and she is the most face-saving in front of Mrs., but there is another grandmother who has little cold words. ”
It seems that the person with few cold words is not the best face in front of Mrs. Yao, but I am afraid that he is the most trustworthy.
"As for what to say and what to do, I guess Mama has her own measure."
"Yes, slave understands." Although Mama Zhao still wanted to ask how this would be arranged next, she didn't seem to want to say it anymore, and Mama had to swallow her words.
……
Mrs. Du arrived at Luofu on time, and brought a lot of gifts, and most of them were in urgent need, brought a lot of medicinal materials to the old lady, and also brought some nourishment for the Zhou family, and also brought a lot of fashionable satin and those novelties, to a few young ladies, sent a good pipa to Yin Yin, and found a precious piano score for Jingjing, but gave a purple bamboo flute to Pianjiao.
This can't help but make Luo Yinyin and Luo Jingjing a little complacent, it seems that this Mrs. Du doesn't pay much attention to this Luo Pianjing, how about knowing each other for a long time, after all......
But compared to Yin Yin, Mrs. Du is still a little familiar with Pianjiao, and the whole luncheon and chatting with the old lady in the next day, this Mrs. Yao didn't treat Pianjiao very lightly, but she didn't treat Pianjiao very well, but Luo Jingjing, who was the same age as Mrs. Yao's youngest daughter, was quite liked by Mrs. Yao.
Unconsciously, the day was waning, and this Mrs. Du also lived according to the convention.
Alan pushed open the hidden door. I saw that Pianjiao was playing with the bamboo flute in his hand under the lamp, this flute was exquisitely made, but it was not a top grade, but Pianjiao stared at it for a long time, as if it was a precious treasure.
"Miss...... Is there anything unusual about this flute? Alan couldn't help but ask.
Pianjiao gently put down the purple bamboo flute and said, "There is nothing special. Just ......"
Pianjiao raised his eyes to look at Ah Lan, and his eyes flashed with a narrow light. Suddenly, several silver needles slammed straight into Ah Lan's side, and they shot on the window lattice, Ah Lan instinctively took a few steps back, and was covered in a cold sweat.
"What kind of treasure is this, it's amazing!" Ah Lan couldn't help but admire.
"Pull the silver needle back." Pianjiao pointed to the silver needle that had been fixed on the window lattice, and smiled lazily.
When Ah Lan pulled out the silver needles one by one and put them in front of Pianjiao, Ah Lan asked again: "Miss, what is this, why is it so powerful!" ”
Pianlu took the silver needles, and then told Ah Lan: "This thing should have been sent to me by my father through Mrs. Yao, you see, there is a lotus here." ”
Pianjiao pointed to an inconspicuous place at the end of the flute, where there was indeed a lotus flower, Pianjiao paused, and continued: "My mother's maiden name has a lotus character in it, and everything my father gave me since I was a child will have a lotus flower on it. ”
Ah Lan nodded, and then asked, "How did the young lady know that there was such a mystery in this thing, I saw that this was just an ordinary thing." ”
"I didn't know it at first, but since I was a child, my father gave me nothing bad, so I took it back and thought about it carefully." The fluttering hand couldn't help but caress the lotus flower at the end of the flute, father, father, how much do you love your mother...... You love your mother like this, but you are not my biological father after all, so what kind of character will my biological father be?
"Then why did the master send this gift in the name of Mrs. Yao?" Alan thought for a moment and asked again.
The fluttering hand kept swaying the lotus flower on the flute, and he didn't raise his head and said: "Probably just Mrs. Yao transferred it, Mrs. Du gave it to me in what name or in what way, my father is afraid that I don't know." ”
Ah Lan nodded, and then said, "Miss, it's not early, Ah Lan will wait for you to change your clothes and go to bed." ”
Pianju nodded and said, "Today you turn your vigil?" ”
Ah Lan stepped forward and waited for Pian to take off his coat. smiled: "Linglong's brother Todu's family brought a letter, and Linglong went home with Mama Li." So tonight I keep vigil. ”
As he spoke, he handed the screwed towel to Pianjiao.
Pianjiao took the towel and said: "Linglong is not easy, my brother has also gone to the battlefield, I'm afraid I'm also worried about death, let her go home to accompany grandma more these days." You'll work harder, and it's worth a few more nights. ”
Ah Lan had already gone to the bedside to help Pian make the bed, walked out, and said, "Yes." ”
As he spoke, Ah Lan took the towel that wiped his face and put it aside.
After waiting for Pian Pian to lie down, Ah Lan helped tuck the quilt, and then took out a quilt and rested on the couch not far away.
Very good sleep.
……
In the middle of the night. Fluttering was woken up by a scream.
Ah Lan also heard it, and even put on a piece of clothing and jumped to the side of the bed.
Pian Qi didn't speak, just kept his eyes open and looked calm. Sure enough, Luo Yinyin, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this level.
"Miss, I'll go out and have a look!" Seeing this appearance, Ah Lan was already relieved in his heart, so he wanted to go out and have a look.
One hand passed through the curtain and put it on Ah Lan's hand, and he stood up and said, "No, accompany me to my grandmother first." ”
Then he wrapped himself in a cloak, wrapped himself tightly all over his body, and walked out with Ah Lan, who was basically already dressed.
Siyaju, brightly lit.
On the way, Alan had already caught a few mothers-in-law to inquire clearly, and it turned out that there was a thief in the backyard. The mother-in-law in the backyard didn't know how to guard the door, and even let herself take advantage of the loophole and run to the warehouse to steal things, who knew that later he actually bumped into a few mothers-in-law who had just finished eating, and the group of splashes fled in all directions, and the backyard was the place where the female dependents lived next to the female dependents, and all of a sudden, the whole backyard was a lively place.
At this time, Luofu's face is afraid to be lost.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the house, I saw the old lady with a dark face, on the left was Mrs. Du, who looked embarrassed, and on the right was Zhou's mother and daughter, whose faces were full of anger and chagrin.
The mother and daughter stared at the door very nervously, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they saw that it was fluttering.
As soon as she entered the door, she walked over to the old lady: "Grandmother, are you alright?" ”
"It's fine." Mrs. Luo saw that she had grown up, and seeing that there was no fear in her eyes, she also put her mind at ease. No matter how he followed Zi Ling, he must have been a little bold.
After saying hello to Mrs. Luo, she greeted Mrs. Du in order, and then went to greet Zhou and her sisters. The etiquette is thorough, and you can't make a mistake. Besides, these few people who like to find fault the most are now full of those thieves, who cares about her.
After that, Pianjiao is happy to look at his nose and his heart, and he has nothing to do with himself.
This farce lasted until the second half of the night, when the bandits were caught. When Steward Kang came to tell him, the old lady angrily dropped the cup and shouted: "Bring me all those people, I want to see who has the courage to come to my Luo family to spread wild." ”
As soon as the old lady's words came out, the steward of Kang retreated, and a few girls brought curtains to separate several young ladies, because this matter is a family affair in Luofu after all, and it is inconvenient for Mrs. Du to stay here longer, Luo Jingjing is still young, and Zhou is unwilling to let her see those pickled things, and let a few mothers-in-law send her back.
The old lady and the Zhou family were sitting outside, and the majesty of the person who had been in the top position for a long time in their eyes was also terrifying. Seeing that Luo Yinyin was in a hurry and rushed out to interrogate together, she felt a little helpless in her heart.
Here, Luo Yinyin saw Pian's eyes, glared at Pianjiao unkindly, and didn't speak.
The man was quickly brought up, and he also suffered a lot of skin injuries. I don't know if they were scared of being beaten, or if they were just wrong, those people quickly confessed.
Those people have some connections with the original Wu Sijia who was in charge of the warehouse, Wu Si loves to gamble, and there is no money at home, and the Wu Si family usually takes some gadgets or silk that the master doesn't look down on to exchange money with them, who knows that Wu Si's family was removed a few days ago, this Wu Si lost the source at once, and complained to them when he was in a bad mood, telling them how rich and rich this Luo Mansion is, these people are interested in seeing wealth, observing for a few days, seeing that the guard's mother-in-law is very lax, and today there are nobles to come, and this house is even more lax, So they looked for an opportunity to come in.
