Chapter 40: Turmoil
After listening to Mrs. Ning's instructions, before Yuhuan could act, a yellow fir woman came out of the east room, this woman was holding a rosewood tray in her hand, and three elegant brocade boxes were placed on the tray. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Old lady, I brought you the sachets made by the young ladies, so I won't bother Miss Yuhuan." The voice was eager and a little flattering.
This person is Qiao's sister-in-law, who is skillful in craftsmanship and skillful in speaking.
Ning Jinyun was stunned for a moment, how could sister-in-law Qiao be here? Fang Cai Yuhuan took their sachets and sent them to the East Sachet, and Sister-in-law Qiao came from the East Sachet, doesn't that mean that Sister-in-law Qiao has been with these three sachets?
That sister-in-law won't find anything...... Ning Jinyun's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he was apprehensive. Qing Yun behind her also changed her face and subconsciously became nervous.
Sister-in-law Qiao presented the sachet to Mrs. Ning, and whispered something in the old lady's ear, and soon, Mrs. Ning smiled, and a satisfied look appeared on her face.
What the sister-in-law said to the old lady was, "Judging from the stitching and embroidery, these sachets are indeed made by the hands of the three young ladies, and it is not like they were made by others." ”
It turned out that in order to distinguish whether the granddaughters were making the sachets for her by herself, Mrs. Ning specially asked Sister-in-law Qiao to come over in advance to help take a look, and the female popularity of the three sisters was taught by Sister-in-law Qiao, so Sister-in-law Qiao knew it at a glance.
Although Ning Jinyun didn't know what Sister-in-law Qiao said to her grandmother, she could tell that her grandmother had specially arranged for Sister-in-law Qiao to come over, otherwise, Sister-in-law Qiao would not have stayed in Dongji Room early in the morning. However, did Sister-in-law Qiao find that Ning Jinhua's sachet had been replaced, if she did, she wouldn't be so calm.
Old Mrs. Ning looked kind and said, "You also have a heart, grandmother will open it and take a look." ”
In fact, the reason why Mrs. Ning asked her granddaughters to make her a sachet as a gift was not because she had to make such a small object, she wanted to use this to check their female popularity level, after all, her three granddaughters were not young, and they could promise to marry at any time, and Mrs. Ning wanted to see if they had grown.
The first to open it was Ning Jinrao's, and the sister-in-law handed over the peach-colored brocade box, "Old lady, this is made by the third lady, you see, the color is really fresh." ”
When Mrs. Ning saw it, she pursed her lips and smiled, and praised: "Yes, Rao'er did a good job." ”
Ning Jinrao is the most disobedient of the three, Mrs. Ning didn't have much hope for her, as long as she can make the sachet, Mrs. Ning can be regarded as satisfied, and there are not too many requirements.
Ning Jinyun glanced at it and saw that it was a big red round sachet with a peach pattern faintly embroidered on it, which was the same as what Yuexiang told her, but this sachet was not finely made, not like it was made by Qiao sister-in-law for Ning Jinrao.
What's going on? Ning Jinyun couldn't figure it out for a while, but he vaguely felt a little uneasy and a little complicated.
Then, Sister-in-law Qiao put Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinyun's sachets in front of Mrs. Ning at the same time, and said, "Old lady, the eldest lady and the second lady have been learning for a long time, and the skills must be good." ”
Old Mrs. Ning still had a smiling face, and her mood really looked very good.
She said, "Sister-in-law, open it for me quickly." ”
"Yes."
Sister-in-law Qiao stretched out a pair of thin hands, the dark red brocade box and the dark purple brocade box were opened almost at the same time, Ning Jinyun's eyes were firmly fixed on the dark purple brocade box, and her breathing couldn't help but get up quickly, she knew that if Sister-in-law Qiao didn't find anything, then this box should contain the sachet that had been adjusted, and her plan could be carried out smoothly.
But! Her hopes were in vain!
Ning Jinhua's brocade box was lying a willow green one, with the pattern of a magpie branch on it, which was exactly the sachet she had made before!
Ning Jinyun was confused, didn't Suihua say that it had been replaced, but what was going on, could it be that the sister-in-law had already found out in advance, so she changed it back? Then she didn't work in vain this time.
She didn't notice that Ning Jinhua on the side was squinting at her, smiling secretly.
Ning Jinyun, this time you just wait to admit it......
At this time, the old lady Ning on the seat suddenly changed her face, her fingers trembled and pointed to the dark red brocade box in front of her, and asked, "Which of you did this?" ”
Hearing the sound, Ning Jinyun hurriedly looked over, the red brocade box was brought by her, and it must be her sachet inside, what could be the problem?
But when Ning Jinyun saw the contents of the box clearly, his heart suddenly sank, as if he had sunk into a bottomless abyss, and the whole person was flustered. Why...... Why is this so?
The sachet she made was gone, and it was replaced by the sachet with the pattern of carp jumping over the dragon gate made by Mrs. Li, which was originally used to pit Ning Jinhua, but it did not appear in Ning Jinhua's box, but was staying in her brocade box, presented in front of her grandmother.
Now it's a disaster.
Before Ning Jinyun could answer, Sister-in-law Qiao replied first, "Back to the old lady, this was made by the second lady." ”
"Grandmother, I didn't make this, I made a blue peony sachet, it's not this!" Ning Jinyun retorted urgently.
Old Lady Ning's face was like dark clouds, gloomy, "What kind of blue peony, there is no one here, Yun'er, did you do this?" ”
Ning Jinyun shook his head desperately, "No." Grandmother, you know me, my female red has only been learning for a few years, and she has not learned well, compared to the eldest sister, it is a big difference, with my level, where can I make such a delicate sachet, this can't be what I did. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Ning was also suspicious, she took out the sachet in front of her, looked at it carefully, and indeed, the carp on it was lifelike, not like the fledgling Ning Jinyun.
"Second Miss, don't be modest, your female celebrity has made great progress recently, why can't you make such an ordinary sachet?" Qiao's sister-in-law sang a contradiction, she pretended to be flattering, but in fact she was sticking a knife, "In my opinion, this sachet is made by you, don't be modest." ”
Looking at her hypocritical smiling face, Ning Jinyun instantly understood that her sachet had been replaced by her sister-in-law, otherwise, how could the one she had originally packed in the box be gone?
What's more, in terms of female celebrities, Qiao's sister-in-law knows their craft best, but now Qiao's sister-in-law has to say that she did this, isn't it intentional to talk nonsense with her eyes open?
Although Ning Jinyun was a little panicked, she had not yet reached the point of self-chaos, and soon, she thought clearly, this time, she was afraid that she was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and was harmed by others.
She hurriedly stepped forward and said to Old Lady Ning, "Grandmother, our Ning family's affairs are the most clear to our family, do you think Yun'er would deliberately make such a sachet?" Not to mention that the pattern on this is embroidered on the sachet for you, even if it is secretly drawn behind the scenes, I don't dare. ”
The carp jumping over the dragon gate, there is a story in the Ning family, back then, the old lady of the Ning family listened to the words of a fortune teller in order to have a bright career, and had to hang a woodcut of the carp jumping over the dragon gate on the door of the study, but once, the woodcut suddenly fell, and it happened to hit the forehead of the old lady Ning, and the eyebrow bone was broken. Since then, Mrs. Ning's career has been even more unsmooth, and it didn't take long for her to get sick and pass away.
Mrs. Ning always felt that it was this painting that was unlucky, which hurt Mrs. Ning, so she never allowed the younger generations to get something related to the carp jumping over the dragon gate, firstly, because she didn't want to cause trouble to the Ning family again, and secondly, because she was afraid of mentioning sad things, she remembered Mrs. Ning.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Ning also felt that something was wrong, how could her granddaughter not be confused enough to make such a mistake, there may be another hidden reason in this.
"Yun'er, you mean, someone deliberately replaced your sachet with the current one? Tell me quickly, grandmother believes you. Old Mrs. Ning was not confused, and quickly saw some things clearly.
Ning Jinyun took a long breath and relaxed a little, she originally wanted to take that sachet to make Ning Jinhua stumble, but now it seems that this can't be done, she can only protect herself first.
She firmly believes that this matter is inseparable from her sister-in-law.
So she said, "Grandmother, mine must have been replaced, if you want to find out, it's easy to find out, start with the person who has touched the brocade box, you might as well send someone to search Yuhuan and Qiao's sister-in-law, only the two of them have touched my sachet, and the suspects are them." ”
Hearing this, Yuhuan was a little unhappy, "What did the second young lady say, how could the slave and maid do such a thing, but if you want to search your body, then just search it, just to clear the suspicion of the slave and maid, so as not to let anyone wronged the slave and maid." ”
But Qiao's sister-in-law's reaction was much stronger than Yuhuan's, she stared in surprise, and stammered, "Body search? How can this be, the second lady who has no evidence can't just wronged me. ”
"It is precisely because there is no evidence that we need to find evidence." Ning Jinyun said.
After saying that, she gave Qingyun a look, and Qingyun immediately understood, and walked over to search for her sister-in-law's body.
