Chapter 250: Zhuang Silian
Yu Xiangxiang's news made Xiao Xia mixed, happy that he could finally be sure that Qicaizhu had indeed come to Houfu, and he was worried that Qicaizhu didn't know his whereabouts, and he didn't know if he was still in Houfu?
Although I was in a hurry, I could only wait and see before I found out my whereabouts.
The two of them talked while packing up their things after breakfast, to be precise, Yu Xiangxiang said Xiao Xia alone.
Listening to her talk about the Luo family's winery, her father, Uncle Wu, was quite capable, not only let Sister Yu and Luo Xiaogang completely break away from the Luo family, but also let Mrs. Luo compensate 5,000 taels of silver, which can almost buy the entire winery.
In fact, Luo Xiaogang originally wanted to go back to the winery, but from childhood to adulthood, Mrs. Luo never let him step into the winery for half a step, nor did she let him go to school, but only let him do some chores and deliver wine, so that Luo Xiaogang didn't know anything when he was so old, and he couldn't operate or dry wine.
After discussing it, everyone felt that even if they really snatched the winery and tavern, it would be a pity that it would be tossed and lost in a few days, so it was better to take the real money in their hands, and it would be convenient to do something in the future.
After the eldest sister and son came out, they stayed in the horse farm and lived with Uncle Wu and his wife, and Uncle Wu was asking about the field Zhuangzi, planning to let the eldest sister Yu's mother and son buy a field and Zhuangzi to run it well, so that they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
As for the harmful Mrs. Luo's family, after Xiangxiang and their trouble, the Luo family's vitality was greatly damaged after losing the silver, and the tavern's business also plummeted.
Everyone knows that Uncle Wu is a person from the Hou Mansion, since Uncle Wu has made it clear that he can't get along with the Luo family, the potential meaning is that if you go to the Luo family to take care of business, you can't get along with the Hou Mansion. Although Uncle Wu never meant this, he couldn't bear the imagination of others! It seems that the Luo family is going to live a hard life, and whether they can get up depends on their ability!
With this result, Yu Xiangxiang is naturally satisfied. Now when it comes to Uncle Wu is daddy, daddy is affectionate, seeing her is very happy for her, but she really shouldn't run to the Hou Mansion, in case she gets into trouble and escapes in the future, won't they all have to be implicated?
When Liu Yan'er first came over, she didn't have anything, just a few pieces of clothes and jewelry, and the maids in other mansions were mentioned as concubines. Why do you want to reward some gold and silver headdress cloth or something, but Liu Yan'er has nothing, I don't know if Mrs. Tian forgot or deliberately didn't give it?
Or promoting Liu Yan'er is just a casual remark. She wished that Liu Yan'er would live in this courtyard where outsiders didn't come, and wouldn't it be easy to get out again?
Of course, this is just Xiao Xia's own speculation, and what Tian thinks of her is unknown.
Liu Yan'er was taken away by Li Taiming, saying that he was going to move away and let him pack his things, but he didn't say where he was going to move. So Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang packed up and waited in the house. Don't know where to go until someone from outside is notified?
Waiting like this for most of the day, seeing that it was evening, and Liu Yan'er hadn't come back yet, Yu Xiangxiang was a little anxious: "Hey, Xiao Xia...... No, Qiu'er, that Liu girl won't come back, right? Shall we go out and have a look, I don't want to spend the night in this gloomy place. ”
One mention of the evening. Xiao Xia remembered the figure that appeared inexplicably last night, and the piercing coldness when she touched herself. Of course, she didn't want to live in this ghost place anymore, so she followed Yu Xiangxiang out of the door.
Yu Niang was cleaning the yard in the courtyard, and when she saw that the two were going out, she stopped and said hello: "Two girls, where are you going?" ”
Yu Xiangxiang said: "Let's go to look for my girl, it's almost dark and I don't see her come back, don't you come back tonight, right?" ”
"It's not clear, why don't you take the burden with the girl if she wants to leave, even if you can't find the girl, ask others, you can always find Miss Liu's new yard, lest you come back to get it again."
Yu Xiangxiang's eyes lit up: "Hey, yes! Thank you, auntie! Qiu'er, you wait, I'll go get the baggage. ”
Seeing Yu Xiangxiang running back to the house, Yu Niang moved to Xiao Xia's side with a smile: "Miss Qiu'er, you really didn't hear any movement last night?" ”
Xiao Xia was stunned, staring at her vigilantly, Yu Niang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, girl, actually...... I heard movement last night, but I didn't dare to move or get up, for fear of being discovered by that thing, in case I ......."
"Qiu'er!" Yu Xiangxiang ran out and saw Yu Niang talking to Xiao Xia, feeling that she seemed to have bad intentions, so she called and rushed over to block Xiao Xia, squinting her eyes and looking Yu Niang up and down:
"Auntie, don't think that Sister Qiu'er can't speak and is easy to bully, I won't agree!"
Yu Niang took a step back and twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Don't dare, I just asked Miss Qiu'er not to run around at night, hehe, two girls, let's go!" ”
Yu Xiangxiang glared at her, pulled up Xiao Xia and walked out, before going out, Xiao Xia glanced back and saw Yu Niang standing in place holding a broom with both hands and looking at herself with a smile.
The moment she turned around, she seemed to catch a glimpse, as if she ...... Yu Niang's sleeve shows a small piece of wrist as transparent as water!
Xiao Xia was startled, and suddenly stopped and rushed back to the gate of the courtyard, but saw Yu Niang sweeping the floor, her sleeves covering her arms tightly, and she couldn't see anything different, could I see it wrong?
"What's wrong, Qiu'er? Did you miss something? Yu Xiangxiang also chased back.
Xiao Xia looked at Yu Niang fixedly, and wanted to rush up and lift her sleeves to see what was going on, but she was a little hesitant, for what reason? Is it appropriate to offend people like this? What if she was as she saw herself?
Yu Niang swept to herself for a while before stopping: "Why did the two girls come back?" ”
"We've missed something, let's go back to our room."
"Oh, okay, look, but hurry up, it's getting dark!"
Yu Xiangxiang glared at him dissatisfied, pulled Xiao Xia back to the house for a turn, turned around and asked, "Qiu'er, why are you coming back?" ”
Xiao Xia shook his head and silently followed Yu Xiangxiang to leave the place, Yu Xiangxiang wanted to go back to Mrs. Tian's yard, but Xiao Xia disagreed, and insisted on going back to Zhuang Silian's yard, because Tian didn't want to see Liu Yan'er, and he would also not treat himself, and he would inevitably be punished when he went back, but Zhuang Silian was different, Xiao Xia remembered Zhuang Silian's words that she asked herself to spy on Liu Yan'er.
They returned to the yard. As soon as I entered the door, I met Birou, who was stunned for a moment, and then said with a cold face: "Yo." Is the one who climbed the high branch back? Our local temple can't accommodate your Buddha, so let's hurry up, right? ”
Yu Xiangxiang was very uncomfortable listening to her yin and yang weird taste, and stopped Xiao Xia beside her and said to Birou Fufu: "Sister, you are all subordinates, why do you have to be so mean?" ”
Birou looked at her coldly: "Who are you?" ”
"Slave Xiang'er, originally served by Mrs. Liu's side, but this morning, the second young master specially begged Mrs. to let the slave and maid serve by Miss Liu."
"Huh. Who am I, such a big face, but I'm still a little girl who can't be on the stage. ”
Yu Xiangxiang was a little annoyed. wanted to argue with him, Xiao Xia secretly pulled her, and Yu Xiangxiang couldn't help but say:
"My sister can't look down on us, we can't help it, we are here to ask to see the second young grandmother. Please let my sister know! ”
"Our second grandmother is having dinner. Not available! ”
"You ......"
Yu Xiangxiang had to take a step forward and wanted to smoke her, Xiao Xia hurriedly grabbed her and shook her head, Bi Rou snorted coldly: "What's the matter, you still want to do it?" You are a concubine and a maid next to you, even if you are the same class, don't let me be a few heads shorter, do you understand? Something that doesn't have rules! is still serving by Mrs.'s side, and I don't think Mrs. may be able to train people. ”
"Oh? Madame can't femdom, but you can? A voice suddenly interjected from behind, and Xiao Xia looked back. It turned out to be Du's mother next to Tian's side.
Mother Du stared at Birou with a cold face and walked over slowly, and Birou's face was red and white. Hurriedly walked down the steps to salute Du's mother, Du's mother turned sideways and said coldly:
"This is the Hou Mansion, the surname is Li Bu Zhuang, you little girl is blatantly counting Mrs., who gave you such a bold son?"
Birou was startled, lowered her head and explained: "Mother Du is not angry, the slave maid was confused by this girl, and she lost her words for a while..."
"If you lose your words, you can point to the master's Ming'er and make irresponsible remarks? This is the rule of your big family in the capital? ”
Although Birou has a narrow heart, she also knows that she is at fault first, no matter how Du's mother scolds her, she bows her head and admits her mistake.
Mother Du reprimanded her and said coldly: "Go in and report, the old slave has something to ask to see the second young grandmother." ”
"Yes!" Birou quickly turned around and ran in.
Mother Du looked back at Yu Xiangxiang and Xiao Xia, and asked Yu Xiangxiang, "Didn't you go to the side of that surnamed Liu to serve?" Why did you get here? ”
Yu Xiangxiang paused: "Mother Du, Miss Liu went out with the second young master early in the morning, and said that she would move out of the yard, but no one has been seen until now, and the slave maid and others can only pack up their things and come out to look for her. ”
Du's mother frowned: "Haven't come back yet?" ”
"Yes, Mother Du, do you know where they went?"
"This ...... It seems that she went to the peach forest in the east of the city, and she came back in the evening, alas, the foxy portrait surnamed Liu, she must have fascinated the second young master! ”
Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang glanced at each other, not knowing what to say?
Mother Du looked at the two, thought about it and gave Yu Xiangxiang a look, took her aside and muttered a few words, and then followed Birou into the courtyard of the second young grandmother.
After she finished the visit, Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang could go to visit.
The two entered the upper room and knelt down, Zhuang Silian had just finished dinner, her eyes swept around the two of them twice, and asked Yu Xiangxiang: "You...... Is it by the side of the lady? ”
"Back to the second young grandmother, the slave maid has only been in the house for less than ten days, originally just to be a last-class maid by the side of the lady, because of the older age, the lady appreciates, so I can often follow the lady in and out of the service."
"Really? I haven't raised a family yet! That's it, you step back first! ”
Zhuang Silian waved her hand lazily, and then leaned back on the chair, Yu Xiangxiang felt uncomfortable, but fortunately she didn't come out, and when she got up, she looked at Xiao Xia twice, lowered her head and took two steps back and turned around and went out.
Zhuang Silian cleared the rest of the people again, and there were only three people left in the house, Xiao Xia, Biting and Zhuang Silian, Zhuang Silian gave a look, and Biting took out the four treasures of the study room from the inside and put them on the table.
Zhuang Silian said lightly: "Get up!" I ask you to answer, with the writing! ”
Xiao Xia got up and walked to the table, Zhuang Silian asked, "You went to that yard, did you find anything abnormal?" ”
Abnormal? Xiao Xia blinked suspiciously, what did she mean?
Zhuang Silian kept a straight face and didn't speak, and Biting said in a low voice: "What does young grandma mean, that courtyard has always been a forbidden place in the house, have you found that the courtyard is different from other places in the past?" ”
It turned out to be this, Xiao Xia thought about it, and wrote down the room covered by black cloth to show Zhuang Silian, Zhuang Silian nodded: "It turns out that there is really such a thing, is it ...... That one named Ling'er is really a water demon? ”
She pondered for a moment and then asked, "You stayed over there for one night, is there anything unusual?" ”
Xiao Xia knew that she would definitely ask this, so she wrote down the incident of the white shadow last night, but removed the fact that Liu Yan'er kicked her and flew out to chase her out.
Zhuang Silian sat up straight when she saw it: "Really? ”
Xiao Xia nodded, Zhuang Silian thought about it, stood up and paced around the house, and stopped after a while: "If there is really that thing, it means that the bead is still in the Hou Mansion, hum, they hide it really well!" ”
Birou coughed lightly, and Zhuang Silian looked back at Xiao Xia: "Liu Yan'er didn't move anything, right?" Why didn't she take you with her when she went out today? ”
Xiao Xia lowered her eyebrows and didn't answer, Zhuang Silian didn't ask, waved her hand and said, "You go down, stay in the original room tonight, and you can go with her when Liu Yan'er comes back!" ”
Xiao Xia Fufu withdrew and took Yu Xiangxiang back to the room where he had stayed with Liu Yan'er earlier.
And on the upper room, Zhuang Silian was fascinated by the note written by Xiao Xia, "White Shadow! White Shadow! Birou, why do you say that we have never seen each other in the house for so long, but these two girls can bump into each other as soon as they come? ”
"Second young grandmother, it's a good thing that you haven't met, it's not a good thing, it's dangerous if you're not careful!"
"Afraid of what? This is what we are here for, if we don't get anything for a day, I can't go back to the capital for a day, this ghost place, it's about to suffocate me! ”
"Young grandma endure for a few more days, the slave maid sees that Liu Yan'er is not an ordinary character, she must have the means to get things, wouldn't it be better for us to reap the benefits of the fisherman when the time comes?"
"Hmph, how can it be so easy? That Liu Yan'er is not easy to deal with, she is willing to sell herself as a maid to enter the mansion for this reason, which shows that she is determined to win, if she really lets her get something, you think she will call it out honestly! ”
Birou was surprised: "What? That...... So should we strike first? ”
"What's next? Nothing has landed yet. ”
"That ......"
"Don't worry, wait until she finds a place, there is a little mute staring at her, measuring that she can't escape from the palm of our hands."
"Yes, the second young grandmother is thoughtful."
Liu Yan'er sat on the chair and closed her eyes to rest, and said unhurriedly: "Later, you can send some rewards to that little mute, the rewards should be thicker, no, let Birou send them." (To be continued.) )
