05. Cleaning
The carriage turned into Chang'an Avenue and slipped all the way to the back door of Xie's mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Xie Qingyao showed his face, the guards guarding the door let the carriage in without saying a word. This made Han Yunqian feel that his choice was really correct, and Miss Xie's face was just as easy to use wherever she went.
"Miss, are you back?" The Chang Pozi who guarded the door babbled.
"Hmm!" Xie Qingyao smiled faintly, and asked through the curtain of the car, "Mama Chang, have you ever seen the second lady in and out of here?" ”
"Second Miss? Not long ago, the old slave saw the second lady come back alone. At that time, the old slave also said a little more and asked why you didn't come back. The second lady said that you are delayed because of something, and you may have to go home later. ”
"I see!" Xie Qingyao nodded and motioned for the carriage to continue moving forward.
"Miss, are you back?"
The carriage drove into the inner courtyard of Qingyao Pavilion, Xie Qingyao jumped out of the carriage, and two green-clothed maidservants came forward.
Qingyao Pavilion is a two-entry courtyard, most of the subordinates are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, and the only four people here are Xie Qingyao's henchmen. However, they are not all henchmen, in addition to the two people sent by their father, there are also two people sent by the Li family.
"What about Zipei and Ziling?" Xie Qingyao asked. These two people are all people arranged by the Li family, with high status and have always been noble.
"Sister Zipei and Sister Ziling were summoned by the main mother early in the morning, saying that they were going to choose this season's clothes for Miss You!" A green-clothed maid said dissatisfiedly: "It depends on the situation, it would be good to be back this afternoon!" ”
"Why is it taking so long?" Xie Qingyao smiled coldly and said, "In the future, there will be no need to work the two of them for this kind of thing." When they come back, let them wait in the outer courtyard. ”
The two green-clothed maids glanced at each other, were surprised, and said, "Miss, after all, it was the person sent by the mistress, so it's not big, right?" ”
"It's okay!" Xie Qingyao said lightly: "Don't think I don't know what they have done in private!" Qingyao Pavilion's expenses are not public accounts, but their father's private accounts. It's good to have half of the things they brought back with their father! In the past, I didn't care about this, and let them decide for themselves, but it was too much to keep blatantly forgetting their roots like this. ”
The two maidservants did not dare to speak again. Immediately after, they saw Han Yunqian Shi Ran in the carriage walking out, and their eyes suddenly widened.
"Arrange for him to stay!" Xie Qingyao glared at Han Yunqian and said, "I met a thief outside, this ......" swallowed the word "bastard" that came to his mouth, Xie Qingyao calmed down and said, "He saved my life." Now, though, he's in some trouble. I'll keep him here for a few days, and then I'll take him to my father. ”
"This ...... Miss, where did he live? There are no guest rooms in Qingyao Pavilion! ”
"Anywhere! The study room, or the martial arts hall for martial arts. "Xie Qingyao doesn't have a good airway." He is not a guest, and he does not need to be treated to the standards of a guest. ”
"There are two girls arranged, I will be in the ...... for the time being" Han Yunqian smiled gently, and said politely: "Just settle down in your young lady's martial arts hall!" ”
"Huh? How can that be done...... the green-clothed maid said uncontrollably: "Childe is our young lady's savior, how can he live in that kind of place?" There is a wing room here that can be lived, so can the son rest there for the time being? ”
Xie Qingyao was too lazy to take care of this haunting "life-saving benefactor", and went to the inner room to treat the wound by herself.
The healing effect of Da Huan Dan is really eye-catching, the wound has scabbed, after bathing, after changing into new clothes, outsiders can't see the traces of injury at all.
"Zigui, Zishu!" After Xie Qingyao cleaned up herself, she called the two of them over: "You are all the people my father personally chose for me, and you are also my most trusted confidants. ”
"Miss?" Zigui and Zishu are both fourteen or fifteen years old, and when they saw Xie Qingyao solemnly saying this, they were stunned in their hearts, and they all knelt down: "Miss, the maid will always be loyal to Miss!" ”
"Get up, I don't mean to be around!" Xie Qingyao smiled, raised his hand, and held the two of them up with strength, and said, "Although my Qingyao Pavilion is big and there are many people, the origins of these people are varied. Some were sent by his wife, some were transferred by his father, and some were sent from the palace. Of these people, the only ones I can really believe are the two of you. It's still too messy, and I have a few words for you. ”
"Miss, please command!"
"Then let's start with Zi Ling and Zi Pei first! Arrange for two people to check the accounts of Qing Yao Pavilion and their rooms, I want to know how much net worth the two of them have saved in Qing Yao Pavilion for so long! ”
"But the mistress ...... there"
"I have the master to deal with it." Of course, Xie Qingyao knew that a considerable part of the things that were detained were left behind by the Li family. The Li family came from a humble background, and he didn't know what good luck he had back then, so he actually married into the Xie family. But the stinginess in his bones still hasn't changed at all, and his father specially allocated the precious ornaments and clothes to Qingyao Pavilion, and a considerable part of them have been intercepted by the Li family. In the end, it is his "biological mother", in the past, Xie Qingyao turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, but now she doesn't want to be so indulgent.
The two maidservants were heartbroken and took the order.
At this time, in the Qingshu Pavilion, the sun was sinking little by little, and Xie Qingshu, who was full of anxiety, kept walking back and forth in the room, worried and scared in her heart.
What will happen to Xie Qingyao? Should she call someone to save her?
There was a devil whispering in her heart: her father only has two daughters, and if Xie Qingyao is gone, she will be the only daughter in the house. Although her biological mother is only an aunt, as the only young lady of the Xie family, her treatment will definitely not be worse than that of a real concubine.
"Shu'er, what's wrong with you, so uneasy?" Aunt Mo entered her room at some point.
"Auntie?" Xie Qingshu seemed to have found a reassuring bone, rushed to Aunt Mo's side, and told the story from beginning to end.
After listening to what happened, Aunt Mo's eyes sank, and she asked carefully, "How is the eldest lady's injury, and where is the injury?" ”
"It's her shoulder, she's bleeding a lot, and she's in a coma!" Xie Qingshu was incoherent and said in a panic: "Auntie, you say, did my sister have an accident?" Something must have happened to her, such a desolate place, even if she is not caught by the bandits, she will die of excessive blood loss. ”
"That's a shame!" A look of relief flashed in Aunt Mo's eyes.
Eight-year-old Xie Qingshu didn't notice the change in Aunt Mo's eyes, and said to herself: "Auntie, what should I do now?" If I tell the people in the house this news, will anyone blame me? My father has always loved my sister the most, if he knows that my sister actually died because of me, what should I do? ”
"Don't panic!" Aunt Mo gently patted Xie Qingshu's shoulder and said, "Then don't let your father know." You left Xie Mansion with the eldest lady, who knows about this matter? ”
Xie Qingshu thought for a while and said, "We slipped out of the back door, and the Chang Pozi who guarded the door must know." However, the two of us went out quietly, deliberately avoiding the guards and maidservants in the house, no one else should know, right? ”
"Mrs. Chang?" Aunt Mo read these three words in a low voice, and said solemnly: "Qingshu, this matter is definitely not allowed to be told to others, do you know?" You remember, you have been in the mansion all the time, so you have never gone out, and you don't know when Xie Qingyao left the mansion. Leave the rest to your aunt! ”
Xie Qingshu nodded ignorantly, not knowing whether to be confused or happy.
Aunt Mo walked out of the door at this time and said to the maid who was pushed outside: "Ziying, you quietly go to see Mrs. Chang and give her twenty taels of silver, just say that the second lady has always been in the Xie Mansion, and she is not allowed to talk nonsense." ”
"Yes!" Zi Ying was shocked, although she was puzzled, she still took the order to leave.
Xie Qingshu watched all this quietly and said worriedly: "Auntie, you said, will Mrs. Chang keep this secret?" ”
"Shu'er, don't worry!" Aunt Mo waved away, took Xie Qingshu back to the room, and patiently explained: "Shu'er, Mrs. Chang has been in the house for many years, and she has her own set of survival skills. These twenty taels of silver are enough for ordinary people for a year, and she knows how heavy it is. ”
Xie Qingshu nodded as if she didn't understand.
Aunt Mo said again: "However, although money can make ghosts grind, this silver can't be trusted. I asked you, Mrs. Chang quietly let you and the eldest lady go out, you came back, but the eldest lady never came back, after a long time, what would she think. ”
Xie Qingshu was taken aback: "Did she guess that something had happened to her sister?" ”
"Shu'er is really smart!" Aunt Mo's smile was a little cold: "Mrs. Chang will guess this, but the eldest lady was let go by her, if people know this, you say, what will happen to Mrs. Chang herself?" ”
Xie Qingshu was shocked: "Father will definitely not let her go!" Therefore, she definitely didn't dare to let people know that her sister was released from the house by her! ”
"Yes, she definitely didn't dare to tell her about Miss Da's private departure. This is equivalent to a ready-made handle, and we pinch her handle, even if it is not for the money, for self-preservation, she has to hide this secret. ”
"So, why does my aunt still give money to Mrs. Chang?"
"Shu'er, my aunt asked her to send money to Mrs. Chang, one is to remind her that the eldest lady is likely to have an accident; The second is to warn her, saying that if she leaks her mouth, she can't please herself, do you understand? ”
"I see!" Xie Qingshu quickly figured out this question, patted her chest, and exhaled a breath: "It turns out that I thought too much." My aunt is so powerful, I've been worried about it! ”
Aunt Mo smiled faintly and said softly: "Shu'er, you are your aunt's biological daughter, your aunt will naturally think about everything for you, what you can believe is only your aunt, remember?" ”
"My daughter remembered!" Xie Qingshu nodded, but she didn't see that the moment Aunt Mo removed her eyes, her smile suddenly distorted, becoming extremely cruel and weird.
Soon, Ziying came back and replied: "Auntie, Mrs. Chang accepted it, she said that she would never tell the second lady and the eldest lady about leaving the house, please rest assured." ”
"Good!" Aunt Mo nodded with satisfaction, not knowing at all, because Ziying didn't know the truth of the matter, and missed a key sentence--- "The eldest lady has returned." ”
