Chapter Thirty-Nine: Dial Ma's
Ma pulled Shen Yuxiao into the room, asked her to sit down, turned around and instructed Lianxiang: "Go and bring my blue and white porcelain box." β
Lianxiang smiled knowingly, turned around and went to the inner room, and soon took out a blue and white porcelain box.
Ma put the box in front of Shen Yuxiao: "Xiao'er, if you don't come, the third aunt will go to you." Today, the third aunt has become your love, and the third aunt knows it in her heart, you take this. β
Hearing this, Shen Yuxiao pushed the box back: "The third aunt doesn't want to say that, if it weren't for the third aunt today, my aunt wouldn't have been able to come over so quickly, and Xiao'er would have to thank the third aunt for today's events." "If there was no Ma Clan, Mrs. Su would definitely not be able to reach the Shen family so quickly.
Ma Shi smiled and waved his hand: "Xiao'er, don't say it again, others don't know what is going on, but the third aunt is still an understanding person." Look at the greeting for you, in fact, you gave the third aunt the opportunity to contact the Su family, otherwise you could have sent a maid to go. Okay, don't push it, it's just some silver in this box, and it's not a precious thing, you just have to use it. β
Shen Yuxiao did take this opportunity to ask Ma to find Mrs. Su, in fact, it was to give Ma a chance to catch Mrs. Su. Because the Ma family went to find Mrs. Su for his sister-in-law, Mrs. Su's sister-in-law, but with this, the Su family will be much closer to the Ma family in the future, so the matter of your brother going to Yuyao to study will naturally be simple. According to the trajectory of her previous life, even if she didn't do this, Ma also got in touch with Mrs. Su half a year later, since she can get Ma's favor in vain, why not throw a branch here, Ma is a love person, and it is right to hold her.
"Since the third aunt is so insistent, Xiao'er will accept it, and when she has time another day, she will take your brother to play with her aunt."
Hearing this, Ma's heart was overjoyed, and he only felt that Shen Yuxiao was a clever person.
"But the third aunt, Xiao'er came here today, and she wanted to ask the third aunt for something." Handing over the box to Shui Hua, Shen Yuxiao spoke to Ma.
"Xiao'er has something to say."
"Third aunt, Shu Xiao'er took the liberty to hear Mama Cao say that the third aunt was the uncle of the Thomas family who went to inquire about the news of Fahua Temple."
Hearing this, Ma Shi smiled: "Xiao'er, what do you mean by this?" β
"Have you ever thought about it? There are so many pilgrims coming and going in Fahua Temple, why can I just find out about Mrs. Bo Changhou, and she is so sure. Xiao'er believes in the third aunt's character, if she is not convinced, she will definitely not rashly sue my mother. You might as well tell Aunt SΓΉ that the reason why my brother had an accident was because he heard the news of Fahua Temple. The little guy next to him has disappeared, and he has been with my brother since Yuezhou. Now that my brother is in prison, the impeachment of the Shen family's sons has been piled up on the throne, and my grandfather, father and uncle have lost their official titles, and the Shen family has been beheaded and exiled. Your brother is only eight years old, and if he is really implicated, the most regrettable thing is him. Shen Yuxiao sighed after speaking, looked at Ma's face pale, and knew that these words had arrived, so she didn't say anything more at the moment, got up and walked out of the house.
In fact, she already knew that there was something wrong with Ma's side, otherwise how could she know the news so accurately, saying this is just hoping that Ma's can realize the severity of the current situation. The people you trust most are likely to be used, and if you don't take precautions, you won't know next time.
Before Shen Yuxiao returned to Fanglin Garden, Princess Yong'an's Mansion came again.
The magpie was walking towards Fanglin Garden with something in his hand, and just happened to meet Shen Yuxiao, and he was blessed at the moment: "Third Miss, just now the aunt of Princess Yong'an Mansion came and said that it was a reward for the princess to the young lady." It was the Yan family monkey who had just paid tribute this year, and the old woman instructed the slave maid to send it to the third lady. β
Hearing this, Shen Yuxiao's eyes flashed slightly, and then quietly asked Tianhua to take the tray in the magpie's hand, and motioned to Shui Hua to reward some broken silver: "Where is my aunt now?" β
"Back to the third miss, the aunt of the Yongan Princess's Mansion put down her things and left, only saying that the princess and the third lady were very happy to have tea today, and after a few days, invite the third lady to the princess's mansion." The magpie replied respectfully.
The old lady doesn't like the third lady, but they are not stupid, the so-called high and low, don't say that Shen Yuxiao is not low. Even if it is, to please Princess Yongan like this, the future future is not something they can imagine.
After the magpie looked at Shen Yuxiao and turned to leave, Shen Yuxiao looked at the tray in Tianhua's hand in a daze. On the bright yellow silk cloth, a small cup of blue and white porcelain, the lid was lifted slightly, and a burst of tea fragrance came to the nose. After watching it for a long time, I couldn't help laughing.
After Shen Yuxiao left, Ma sat on the stool for a long time, and then slapped the table hard. "Good! Dare to calculate it on my head, it's really good! β
She doesn't believe all what Shen Yuxiao said, but she can't believe it, there must be a reason for it. At that time, I was thinking about my two daughters, and I was too anxious to find out, but now I look back and think about it, but it is full of loopholes. She asked her brother to inquire about the official eunuch families with school-age children, after all, you can't see the famous people who have entered the Fahua Temple. At first, it was just for relief, and I didn't expect him to really find out. As a result, only two or three hours, the person sent by my brother said categorically that it was the Bochang Marquis Mansion.
At that time, I blamed her for not asking carefully, how did she know this, and this is what others said.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I felt. Thinking of the Liu family, she has always been a person who obeys the words of the other party, and the Fang family will definitely ask her what to bring when she wants to go to Fahua Temple, and then make preparations. But that day, the always cautious Liu was reprimanded in public, which made her suspicious. The person behind this calculation is really deep-minded, and he actually thinks everyone's mind so thoroughly, and the calculation is exactly the same. If she is really in the dark, sooner or later she will be ruined.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Ma became, picked up the teacup on the side and held it high, and looked at the Jingdezhen painted pottery. This cup is still quite valuable, forget it, put it lightly on the table again, and instructed Lianxiang: "Today, you go to your uncle's mansion in person, and be sure to ask clearly, who did he inquire about in Fahua Temple." I have to get the people behind me out! β
Lian Xiang had never seen Ma so angry, and immediately received the order with trembling, so she called the maid to come in and serve, and trotted out of the Shen Mansion.
By the time Lianxiang came back from Ma's house, it was already dark, and the Shen Mansion had already turned on the lights.
When Ma heard that Lianxiang was reinstated, he couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and still smashed the painted pottery teacup in Jingdezhen on the table.
"Good! Good! Good! She Gu Jinghua is really smart, even I dare to take advantage of it, and I really feel that no one knows what I do. Good! Good! All right! β
Seeing that Ma Shi was angry and laughed, Lian Xiang said with some trepidation: "Even if Madame is designed by Aunt Gu, why should Madame be so angry, we have nothing to lose in the third room." β
Hearing this, Ma's tone was slightly gentle: "What do you know, one is prosperous, and one is lost." If the old lady provokes the anger of the people, you and we can get out of the way. Today Xiao'er came to talk about this, and was pointed out by a junior, and my face was ashamed and I didn't know where to put it. β
Ma Shi was silent for a long time after speaking, got up and walked directly to the door. Lian Xiang couldn't help but follow behind and asked, "Madam, where are you going?" β
"Hong Lim Yuan!"
Ma went to Fanglin Garden, Shen Yuxiao was feeding Su Shi to drink the decoction, seeing Ma Shi coming, Su Shi smiled and wanted to get up, Ma Shi hurriedly walked to the bed and held Su Shi down: "Sister-in-law, what is this doing, hurry up and lie down, don't toss your body." β
Hearing this, Su Shi stopped struggling, and looked at Ma's eyes, full of gratitude: "Thank you three brothers and sisters today, if it weren't for you and my sister-in-law, I wouldn't have come over so quickly." β
"It's very polite to me, I'm just welcoming my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law won't dare to go out in the future if she says that." After Ma finished speaking with a smile, he looked at Shen Yuxiao: "Xiao'er doesn't know if she is free now?" Did you find the book that the third aunt asked you to find last time? β
Shen Yuxiao naturally understood that Ma had something to say to her, so she nodded smoothly: "It's in my house, Xiao'er will go get it." β
"I'll go with you." Ma Shi said and glanced at Su Shi. She had just taken the medicine, and she was already a little weak at the moment, and after listening to Shen Yuxiao and Fang's words, she waved her hand and asked them to go first.
Only then did Shen Yuxiao stand up and salute Su's family, and then instructed Mama Cao and Liuli a few words, and then went to the East Courtyard with Ma's family.
As soon as he entered the room, Ma's face instantly fell, and without waiting for Shen Yuxiao to speak, he said: "Xiao'er, the third aunt really stumbled this time, and she actually fell in her way!" β
"Oh? Does the third aunt know who it is? β
Hearing this, Ma Shi took a sip: "I asked my mother's brother, when he went to Fahua Temple, he met two little girls, and stopped in front of him and said that the old lady and Mrs. Bo Changhou looked at each other this time, for the sake of the granddaughters of the Shen family. The head of the story is the Tao, so my mother's brother believed it, and immediately ran back to remind me, for fear that my two sisters would also be on the road. β
After saying that, I remembered that it was still inappropriate to say in front of a girl that she wanted to see it or not, even if she already knew about it. It's just that she can't care so much at the moment, Shen Yuxiao's words are nothing more than a knife piercing her heart, knowing that it is not her brother who betrays her more than anything else.
Shen Yuxiao also wanted to know this, whether Ma's brother was being used, or whether his brother was also from that side. If so, this hidden stake must be pulled out quickly, otherwise it will be a big problem on Ma's side in the future.
"Does the third aunt know who is behind it?"
Ma snorted coldly: "Over the years, I have been a good girl, and my brother also specially kept an eye on it, and heard a maid call another Huanyu." I sent someone to check on Huanyu beside Aunt Gu, and sure enough, as soon as you set off yesterday, Huanyu ran away with Minyu from the small door. In the afternoon, he slipped back through the small door. She Gu Jinghua really felt that what she did was unconscious, it was many years ago, and now she still has this thought, and she doesn't look at her life, whether she is worthy or not! β
