Chapter 23: Stealing

Jinyu and Sister Yi arrived at the courtyard of the eldest sister Zhang Jinyun, and were suddenly a little surprised, this courtyard is probably the smallest and most broken courtyard in Zhang's mansion, Sister Yi looked at Jinyu a little helplessly and said, "Most of the things in the house are managed by the second aunt." ”

Jinyu remembered that the family that the Xue family gave to the eldest sister Xu in the previous life was also the eldest son of a dilapidated official family, and the dowry was pitiful, but no one came out to say a word for the eldest sister.

As for whether the eldest sister was doing well later, Jinyu didn't know.

"Big sister, I'm here with my fourth sister." At this time, the two had already entered the carved door, only to see a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl embroidering a pair of curtains, Jinyu approached to see the appearance of the two mandarin ducks, very vivid, and suddenly thought they were alive.

"Big sister embroiders so well." Jinyu couldn't help but say, the woman raised her head and looked at Jinyu, Jinyu only felt that it was a pleasure to be looked at by her eyes like a clear spring.

"This is the fourth sister, what a person like ice and snow." Sister Yi on the side hugged the eldest sister's neck and said coquettishly: "Sister, don't you praise the fourth sister like this, aren't you afraid that I will be jealous?" ”

"You little skin." The eldest sister stretched out her hand and pinched Sister Yi'er's cheek, very intimate, Jinyu said, "The relationship between the eldest sister and Sister Yi is really good." ”

The two laughed.

Jinyu said again: "My sister's embroidery is so beautiful. The big sister smiled and took out a small purse from the embroidery basket, which was embroidered with a cute little cat, Jinyu liked it very much, and said, "Thank you, big sister." Jinyu suddenly patted her head and said, "Daddy said that he wanted to exchange gifts, I remembered that God gave me a beautiful golden hairpin, and I will bring it to you." Without waiting for the eldest sister to agree, Jinyu ran out.

"What a child."

Jinyu trotted all the way to the Qinghe Courtyard, at this time Cheng was called by Wang, Zhang Weiwen discounted Zhang Jingxuan to visit Wen Jun, at this time there were only some servants and maids in the courtyard, Chunlian, who was extremely embarrassed in front of Cheng, saw Jinyu and immediately came over and said, "Miss, what are you doing in a hurry?" ”

"Sister Chunlian, I'm going to go to the house to find something and give it to my eldest sister." Jinyu ran to the house, found the green finch in charge of the cage, let go of the box, Jinyu looked for it in the cage, turned left and right and couldn't see the thing, suddenly a little anxious, a little annoyed and said, "Sister Qingque, where is my golden hairpin inlaid with treasures?" Qingque sighed in his heart, and hurriedly went to the cage to find it.

"Miss Huiyu, I can't find it."

"How could I not find it?" Jinyu was a little impatient in her heart, there were tears in her eyes, and she shook things away angrily and said, "Find it for me, I promised my sister!" ”

When everyone in Qinghe Courtyard heard Jinyu's cry, they came to the courtyard one after another, and saw Jinyu's anxious expression, this little master has always been obedient and amiable, why is he like this today?

"Miss, this is?" Mama Qiu, the leader, asked, this Mama Qiu has always been embarrassed in front of her mother, so what she said was a little convincing, so Jinyu stopped and said, "My golden hairpin is missing, I want to give it to my eldest sister." ”

At this time, Ziyan in the crowd stood up and wanted to speak, but stopped: "What Miss said is that Duobao golden hairpin?" Jinyu nodded, and everyone exclaimed, it was something that flowed out of the palace.

It's just that the palace weaving on it has been erased, and the things that the old lady generally rewards to the young lady in the house are extremely precious, and the things of this young lady are lost, but they must not be disliked by the old lady.

"I seem to have seen Hongluan wear it, but when she saw me, she hid it and looked very strange."

"Quick, bring her to me, you must find me the golden hairpin." Jin said, Mama Qiu took a group of stout servants, came to Hongluan's house, searched back and forth, and searched out the golden hairpin from under the girl's pillow, Jinyu took the golden hairpin with a flash of light in her eyes, and said sharply: "Sure enough, this girl actually voted for my golden hairpin, and someone quickly brought her to me."

At this time, Mama Qiu pressed Hongluan over, Hongluan looked at Jinyu in surprise, a little at a loss, only to see this Hongluan, and said in a panic, "Miss, what are you doing?" ”

"Okay, you Hongluan, you dare to steal things, be careful that I tell Aunt SΓΉ and let her sell you!"

"Slaves don't have heads?" Hongluan argued, and at this time, Ziyan on the side said, "Sister Hongluan, why are you so confused? Do you dare to take the imperial golden hairpin that the king of heaven rewarded the young lady? Usually take some incense powder, but this time you are confused. At this time, Hongluan's face was already flushed with anger, and she stared at her round eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you cheap hooves, be careful that I tear your mouth." Then he ran to Jinyu's feet and cried, "Miss, don't you have to joke with the slave maid, isn't the golden hairpin you rewarding me?" ”

Jinyu broke away from Hongluan's hand and said angrily, "How could I give you such a valuable thing? Mama Qiu said, "Miss, don't be angry, this girl is hard-mouthed and ruthless, when I clean her up, she will tell the truth, she dares to steal the master's things, a slut who doesn't want to die." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to fan Hongluan's coquettish face.

"You can't do this to me, Second Wife, I'm Second Wife's person." Mama Qiu's face was full of disdain, and she said, "Whose girl are you, the person who is still the second wife, what does the second wife let you do?" ”

After a few slaps, Hongluan had already fainted, so he said, "The second wife promised me to be the fourth master's concubine." Hongluan realized that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately changed her words, "The second wife instructed me to take care of the young lady." β€œ

"That's how you take care of Miss?" Mama Qiu slapped Hongluan's face and swollen.

"Pull this little slut into the firewood room, and wait for the wife to come back and deal with it." Mama Qiu commanded, at this time, Jinyu looked at the golden hairpin in her hand and was a little worried, and said to Mama Qiu, "Mama Qiu, I can't take this thing to my big sister, right?" ”

"What Miss said is, isn't there a pair of jasper rings in your cage? I took it and sent it to the eldest lady. Mama Qiu said, Qingque took out the pair of jade rings from the cage, and Jinyu hurriedly ran out.

Mama Qiu looked at Jinyu's small figure and said to herself, these four young ladies are not simple characters.

Mama Qiu instructed the servant woman behind her, saying, "Go to the main courtyard and inform the wife." ”

The servant woman walked away, and Mama Qiu glanced at Qingque and said in a low voice, "Do you know what you want to say?" The blue finch nodded.

"The slave and maid know, but some of the things that this young lady ordered have not been done, so the slave and maid will retire first."

Mama Qiu stared at Qingque and said lightly, "Who is Tianjun looking for, Miss Qingque should know." ”

"The slave knows."
