Chunlan didn't go back immediately after carrying hot water, but walked around the garden before leaving. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuqian was waiting to wash her hair with hot water, and seeing that Chunlan had used it for so long, she said a little unhappily: "Pick up hot water for so long?" ”

Chunlan put down the hot water and replied with a smile: "Today, Mrs. is entertaining, and the stove is boiling water for stir-frying, and I have been waiting for a long time." ”

When Yuqian heard this, she asked, "Which guest?" ”

When Yufang heard that there were guests but didn't ask their sisters to go out to entertain guests, she also came over and asked, "Why didn't the third aunt ask us to go out to entertain guests?" ”

Chunlan said: "It's the wife and young lady of the Marquis of Huaiyin and Honglu Temple, I heard that the sons are also there." ”

Yufang was even more unhappy when she heard that there were other sons: "Third aunt, is this really planning to ignore us?" What is the reason why such an important guest does not ask us to go out to entertain guests? ”

When Yu Qian heard the wife and son of the Qing family of Honglu Temple, her face suddenly turned pale, and she said a little stiffly: "Isn't it good not to ask us to go out?" A plague god is not seen just right. ”

Yufang ignored it, turned to Xiulan and said, "Let's go out and have a look." ”

Seeing the master and servant going out, Dongmei looked anxious and asked Yuqian: "Eldest Miss, don't you stop the second Miss?" ”

Jiang Yuqian didn't care about the second miss, she just begged Yuan Chun not to come to her: "Let her go, you can't tie her to your body all the time." If you close the door, no one will knock on the door, and it will not be opened! ”

She forced her trembling hands to untie her hair.

Chunlan stepped forward to help, and Yuqian said steadily: "Jiang Yujing and Jiang Yuxuan are both entertaining guests outside?" ”

Chunlan replied: "Exactly." Qingqi and Yanshu took the chessboard and walked into the garden, and when I came back, I took a look from a distance, and Huixiang and Lixiang beside the third lady were also there. ”

Jiang Yuqian's heart moved: "Lingxiang and Yingxiang are watching the courtyard in Shilang's Mansion, doesn't this mean that there is no one in Jiang Yujing's house at the moment?" ”

Chunlan leaned over: "There are only two little maids on the Zhuangzi guarding the door of the house." ”

Jiang Yuqian nodded: "Very good, you did a good job." You go for another run. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned her to come closer, and attached it to her ear to explain.

Yuxuan and the four of them played backgammon in the garden for a while, and talked about the new clothes and jewelry in Beijing.

Yujing said: "Last year, my cousin from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion gave me and my sister a lot of jewelry, and it looked very delicate at that time, thinking that I could wear it for a long time." Unexpectedly, it has only been half a year, and Jingli has changed again. ”

Sheng Xia said: "The jewelry and clothes in Beijing are changed too quickly, but it is not a waste to be able to come back after two years." ”

Yuxuan said: "My third sister loves to collect fresh jewelry patterns, and there are several boxes on the upper and lower four layers of jewelry. This time I came to Zhuangzi and brought two with me, and I don't know who to dress up in Zhuangzi. ”

Midsummer listened and offered to take a look, and Yujing was also a little proud and nodded in agreement.

The four of them walked to Yujing's room, and before they reached the gate of the courtyard, they saw Chunlan walking past in a hurry, and they didn't even say hello.

Hui Xiang became suspicious and quickly walked back to the courtyard.

But when she saw that the door of the house was open and there was no one to be seen, her face suddenly changed, and she hurried into the house.

The four young ladies walked into the courtyard, and Yujing rushed into the house.

Huixiang is checking the things in the house, mainly looking at Yujing's underwear and jewelry.

Yuxuan frowned: "Why isn't there even a guard in the house?" What's the difference between that and opening the door for someone to steal? ”

Sheng Xia and Liu Qi glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to do as guests at this time.

After a while, Huixiang raised her head and said, "Third Miss, you are missing your gold wire-inlaid ruby and emerald step." ”

Yuxuan asked urgently: "Is it the one that my sister often wears?" ”

Huixiang nodded: "Exactly!" ”

Yujing Tie blushed: "If it's for money, why only steal a step shake that I often wear?" I'm afraid that some people have bad intentions. ”

Sheng Xia was a little untenable, and said cautiously: "That, I've been out for too long, and my mother doesn't know if I'm looking for me, so I'll go back first." ”

Yuxuan reacted first: "Since we lost it, let's go and report it to our mother." Go back and find out who is okay to steal a step shake. If it is so conspicuous jewelry, it is not easy to wear it, it will definitely be hidden somewhere. ”

Yujing said: "If you only lose a step shake, you will alarm your mother, will it be a little fuss?" Why don't you visit quietly? ”

Yuxuan said: "It's better to have a clear path in front of your mother, so that everyone knows that you lost that step!" ”

Sheng Xia nodded: "Sister Xuan is right, let's tell the elders." Who hasn't had this kind of thing in the family, and after telling the elders to cross the clear road, it doesn't matter to us what happens in the future. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Liu Qi and said, "Let's go back to the flower hall and talk about it." ”

Liu Qi went to see Yuxuan, and Yuxuan also said, "I'll go too." Sister, you look here first, and I'll be back in a moment. ”

When An heard Yuxuan and others say that Yujing had lost something, he glanced at Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Tao beside him and said with some embarrassment: "These children, if you lose a step, you will lose them." What's the big deal, it's worth a special trip. ”

Mrs. Yang said: "This is not a trivial matter. A sister of the Xunguo family just lost a golden hairpin that she often wears, and was picked up by a broken show, so she had to pay the dowry to marry him. ”

Mrs. Tao looked at An's face and said, "It's okay, go back and look for it slowly." I can't wear such a conspicuous piece of jewelry, and Zhuangzi is far away from Beijing, so I won't be able to do it for a while. ”

An nodded, and Mrs. Yang got up: "Mrs. An has something to do, I won't stay, you take care of the family affairs slowly." ”

An Shi hurriedly retained: "What is this for?" Out of the way, maybe it's a prank of the little ones, let's talk about ours. ”

Mrs. Yang insisted on leaving. was saying goodbye to each other, and the Marquis of Huaiyin said that he was very happy to meet Liu Zheng and Yuan Chun, and he wanted to use Mrs. An's Zhuangzi to hold a table banquet, so that Mrs. Yang could also stay here.

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she had to sit down again, and said sullenly: "Mrs. An's kindness is difficult, then I will be embarrassed." ”

Mrs. Tao smiled and glanced at An's family, Mrs. Huaiyin's stepmother was really careful, looking at the eyes of Huaiyin Marquis everywhere.

Yuxuan took Midsummer and Liu Qi and quietly retreated back.

Midsummer patted his chest: "Seriously, I really don't want to go back to our Zhuangzi." My mother loves to nag, my brother has a cloudy face all day long, and I can't eat well. ”

Yuxuan said: "It's a little embarrassing that something like this happened today and made everyone unhappy." ”

Sheng Xia said: "It's nothing, your family is fine." Those of us who have lived together for generations have made trouble for a title. ”

Seeing that Yuxuan and Liu Qi both looked shocked, Midsummer told the two of them a few ugly things about the Duke's house in Beijing, and Yuxuan and Liu Qi, who listened to it, inhaled cold air again and again.

It wasn't until Yanshu came to invite them that the three of them stopped gossiping.

Yanshu pulled Yuxuan out and whispered: "I asked the little maid guarding the door in the third lady's courtyard, and said that Chunlan went to them to help find the lost gold beard bracelet and transferred them away. ”

Yuxuan was puzzled: "If this is the hand of the eldest sister, this plan is too lame, right?" "Thinking of my previous life, is it really because of this lame scheme, using step shaking to marry trouble, calculating that my sister married Yuan Chun?

Yan Shu said: "We have already crossed the road in front of Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Tao testify. Even if we can't find it, we won't be afraid of anything in the future. ”

Yuxuan thought that Mrs. Tao was also there, so she couldn't think that her sister had a personal affair with Yuan Chun because of a lost step.

She nodded, but she was always a little uneasy in her heart, so she said to Yanshu: "Let Zhuang Tou quietly transfer Moqin over, I need her very much now." ”

She pointed in the direction of Jiang Yuqian's house, and Yanshu nodded and retreated.

Jiang Yuqian took the gold wire inlaid ruby and shook it, and looked at it carefully for a long time.

Dongmei walked in and glanced at Chunlan, and said to Jiang Yuqian: "Eldest Miss, the third lady has already told Madame about Bu Shao's loss." ”

Jiang Yuqian raised her eyebrows, and threw the step shake to Chunlan again: "Throw it away!" ”
