Chapter 40: Think long
After some persuasion by the two, Qiu Qin was very weak and exhausted for a moment, and finally fell asleep again. Ah Xiu wiped her sweat, covered the quilt, and went out with Lian'er, everyone saw the two come out, and the original lazy spirit was swept away, holding their breath and waiting for orders.
"Qin Frost and Snow, the two of you are not good to protect the master, and you will be fined for half a year, although Mother Jiang is not serving in the near future, she will be fined for three months, and the rest of the people who serve will be fined for one month, can you be convinced?" Ah Xiu said awe-inspiringly.
"The slave is convinced."
"The punishment of you is that you must understand that you must serve before your master, pay attention to everything, be attentive in everything, and do not leave anything to chance, and not steal a moment of leisure. For example, in the case of barley this time, although there are few people in your room, there are more than a dozen people up and down, how can you not notice it at all? ”
After a pause, Ah Xiu taught again: "Naturally, if there is really collusion between inside and outside, you will definitely have no clue when things come to the end, then you might as well be so, I will give you a way here: I will put a box in the side of the courtyard, everyone will enter in shifts, if you think of something if you want to say that you want to come up, the literate can write your name and put it in, and the illiterate can draw instead or leave a token, every night I will ask the maid to take the box back, in order to avoid you being suspicious of each other, even if you don't want to say it, You have to go into the room and half a pillar of incense before you can come out. ”
After that, Ah Xiu instructed Yan'er: "You can do this matter, just watch the box every day, not only do not allow the people in the room to peep into the things in the box, but also watch all of them enter the room once." Yan'er nodded and responded: "Slave obeys!" ”
Now the hour is not early, Mrs. Qiuqin has fallen asleep, there will be someone on duty every night from tonight, you two big girls take turns to take people to guard, when Mrs. wakes up to eat and drink, you have to serve with all your heart, until your wife recovers, I will naturally have a generous reward, live up to your hard work, and not be punished in vain. “
The people below were all convinced, since they had no clue for a while, Ah Xiu arranged to naturally take Lian'er out. "According to my sister, who will it be?" Lian'er saw that Ah Xiu's face was gloomy, and she inquired. "It's not you and me, but if you don't know each other, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the yard, and you won't be able to do it so clean." Ah Xiu groaned slightly, "But if you are very familiar with each other, you may not remember any of these many servants." "Sister, I don't know if I should say something," Lian'er saw Ah Xiu nodding her head, and then said: "I'm also suspicious, I just think that Yizhen is straightforward by nature, but what if the straightforwardness we see is not what she originally meant?" “
Ah Xiu stopped, and was shocked in his heart: he didn't even think of this layer. It is true that within the house, Yizhen should be the person who knows Qiuqin's temperament the most, and it is also the easiest to start, but today happened to lock up Yezhen, which happened to be the reason for her to get rid of it, who would suspect a person who has been locked in the hospital. But didn't Qiu Qin calculate Yizhen? No, no, the little guy who flashed behind the rockery was originally playing in the art treasure room. And the way Ye-jin was punished at that time, if it was in front of her, it should not be adulterated.
Thinking of this, Ah Xiu had no clue, everything seemed to be related, but there was still something wrong, when he told Su Xin to check the details of the little girl at the door, but Su Xin suddenly vomited blood and was delayed, and the piles seemed to have a providence, and those subtle connections seemed to be in front of him, but with a wave of his hand, it had been annihilated.
"What did my sister think of?" Lian'er saw that Ah Xiu's eyebrows were deeply knotted, and she called softly.
"Originally, I asked Su Xin to check the little girl who reported the door, but it was delayed, and now I will check again, I'm afraid it will take a lot more thought." Ah Xiu raised his eyes and replied.
"It seems that my sister is also suspicious, I think the two of them are like snipes fighting each other, but both sides are defeated, but I don't know who the fisherman is, and I can't judge the pros and cons of the gains and losses." Lian'er looked a little sad, "But in any case, there is no need for such a vicious person in the house, and if it is found out in the future, it will naturally not be tolerated." ”
"No matter what kind of fog and predicament I find myself in, I have always been glad that you and I have always helped each other and never deviated from morality. In the coming day, the prince will ascend the throne and the great treasure, no matter how treacherous the palace is, I have you, which is my peace of mind. Ah Xiu sighed, took Lian'er's hand and held it, and covered it with her other hand, with sincerity.
Lian'er smiled indifferently and nodded softly as usual with those waves.
Ah Xiu thought to himself: No matter what, back in this era, there is no blood child, and in the torrent of history, he is like an ant, how unfortunate. But how lucky it is to have such a sister who has the same heart and mind as the same advance and retreat.
Ying'er and the others knew that the master had something to say, and they had been following from a distance after coming out, and seeing that the two had finished speaking, and it was late, they motioned to the others to wait, and walked forward to remind: "Two ladies, it's late, standing here for fear of the wind and cold, why don't you go back?" “
Ah Xiu nodded: "Concubine Fang slept with me today, you can go back a few steps first and make arrangements." Ying'er nodded and went as she was told.
The two returned to Axiu's room, Ying'er had already burned the incense, and when the two entered the house, they took tea cakes and poured tea. "Have you gone to see Su Xin? Better? "Ah Xiu saw that it was Longfeng Yinghua when he served the tea, and thought of Su Xin." My sister has already fallen asleep, I didn't alarm her, she looks better, and her breathing is much calmer, so it should be okay. "After Ying'er finished speaking, she gave tea to Lian'er." Su Xin is deep-minded, and a person who is so gentle and proper on weekdays is honest and honest to Wenzheng, but in exchange for physical and mental damage, it is really sad. Lian'er looked at the teacup with a little regret.
Ah Xiu nodded: "She is too calm and quiet, if she hadn't come back this time with injuries, she would not have shown these injuries in front of others, I thought she had let go, but I still let her suffer again."
Lian'er suddenly wondered: "The prince sent such a large box of dragon and phoenix Yinghua in a dignified manner, could it be-"
Ah Xiu nodded and answered: "It seems that Wen Zheng should be completely useless." ”
Lian'er frowned slightly: "It's true that our prince is violent, but Wen happens to be his own nephew, and he grew up in front of you, how can he be ruthless!" ”
Ah Xiu motioned to her softly: "The prince's heart is as good as iron, you don't want to declare your regrets, the prince's territory has grown over the years, and his suspicions have become deeper, after the battle of Panyang Lake, except for me, he almost can't listen to anyone's words, but you and I both understand what he got this trust for." ”
Lian'er lowered her head and was stunned: "This preferential treatment that my sister exchanged for her life is the envy of others, but in my opinion, the price is too high." (To be continued.) )
