Duan Hong didn't care, and walked straight inside.

Hui Yu looked at the maid twice, but just happened to see Mother Shi staring at the maid sternly, and the maid lowered her head weakly.

What's going on? What kind of secret does Mother Shi seem to have with that maid? Hui Yu secretly paid.

Without thinking too much, Hui Yu followed Duan Hong and Chang into Duan's living room.

I saw that the living room was arranged like a study, there were three large bookcases standing on one wall, full of books, and on the other side of the wall were hung with pictures of the three friends of the year and a few famous calligraphy, there was a desk by the window, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all available on the desktop, but the inkstone had dried up, and it was known that it had not been used for a long time at a glance.

I didn't expect my mother to be a book lover, and she must have been a talented woman who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Sure enough, I heard Duan Hong say: "When I was young, my sister always liked to go to my father's study to read, and she was only three years old and could export poems. My father also used to say that if my sister was a man, she would be able to achieve something in her career. This has also developed the character of my sister who does not let her eyebrows go. ”

Chang also said: "The four brothers and sisters are indeed talented, and every time I listen to the four brothers and sisters chant poems and paint, I admire the sister-in-law." ”

Duan Hong was also honored by Chang's praise, and pointed to a row of brushes on the table and asked, "Which one of these pens did your wife make the most?" ”

Hui Yu looked at Duan Hong's hand, and saw long and short, round-headed pointed heads, and different hair color brushes, with about a dozen brushes hanging up.

The maid was stunned for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "The pens used by Madame for painting and writing are all different, but they are all commonly used." ”

Hui Yu was speechless, those brushes held the pen wear and tear differently, some of them were out of color, and some were still shiny, and they were often not used at a glance. That maid actually said that they were all being used, isn't this talking nonsense with her eyes open? Obviously, I don't know much about my mother's daily life. How did Chang find such a person?

Duan Hong also seemed to think that this girl was unreliable, although he didn't say anything, but his face was not very good-looking.

When she arrived at Duan's bedroom, the maid didn't know anything.

Chang Shi also felt that he couldn't hold it on his face, and hurriedly explained: "It's not a secret, yesterday I went to Huanzhu Garden to check the situation in the garden, who knew that someone stole the ornaments of the four brothers and sisters, and in a hurry, I locked up all the people in Huanzhu Garden first." Temporarily, I found a maid in the fourth room to come and serve. Who knew that the maid she was looking for didn't know the mistress so well. Originally, the ugliness of the family was not unexpectedly raised, and I didn't want to mention it, but this maid was too ignorant, and I was afraid that I would lose the interest of the fourth uncle and spoil the affairs of the fourth uncle, so I said it shamelessly......"

Duan Hong's face turned slightly pale when he heard this, and he said, "This kind of thing should be tried well and severely punished." ”

Without the big girl beside Duan's side to lead the way, Duan Hong picked out Duan's comb and a few jewelry, and gave up.

After returning to Baihua Courtyard, Fang's mother went into the ear room to make tea for Huiyu. Crimson had already boiled hot water inside, and when she saw Fang's mother coming in, she asked, "Mom came back so soon?" What objects did the fourth uncle find? ”

Fang's mother found a stool and sat down, and said, "Hey, what about it, there was a thief in Huanzhuyuan yesterday who stole the head of the lady, but fortunately was discovered by the eldest lady, and now the servants of the Huanzhuyuan are locked up pending trial." Today, I hurriedly found a maid who came from nowhere to lead the way for the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle was not happy if he didn't know, so he found a few small objects at random. ”

A trace of panic crossed his red eyes, and he said, "Then the jade side and Fei Bai are also locked up?" ”

"It's not, I still think it's strange, why didn't I let Yubian and Fei Bai lead the way, and the two of them were used by Mrs. in the past." Fang's mother said.

Crimson also had no intention of chatting with Fang's mother again, said a few words, boiled the water and left.

In the main room, Huiyu, Caiyun, and Shi'er were making Chang's clothes together.

Caiyun had already cut off the fabric of the long skirt and was sewing the clothes with silk threads, while Huiyu was using a cover to put a piece of cloth on it and practice trimming, while Shi'er was giving Caiyun a hand.

Mother Fang walked in with tea and Emerald Green with a tray of fruits.

Emerald Green quipped: "Oh, the girl is good at craftsmanship now, and the inlay here is getting better and better." I saw Shi'er pressing Caiyun with a string, and said: "Shi'er is also presentable, I can't complain that everyone says that you are Caiyun's little apprentice, Sister Caiyun is really a famous teacher and a high apprentice." ”

This emerald green, the kung fu of patting the sycophants is getting higher and higher. Hui Yu said: "Emerald Green's little mouth is really getting sweeter and sweeter, Mother Fang quickly give Emerald Green a glass of water, lest she have too much sugar in her mouth and get tired of it." ”

Fang's mother was also happy, and said, "It's amazing for the old slave to look at the girl's mouth, and the few of us together can't match the girl's sharp teeth." ”

Everyone laughed, and for a moment the main house was filled with joy.

Huiyu saw that everyone was happy, so she asked Caiyun and Shi'er to rest, and asked Emerald to bring all the fruits and let everyone share them.

There were a lot of freshly dried mulberry fruits in the tray, as well as some other seasonal fruits, but they didn't look like mulberry fruits.

Everyone picked up the mulberry fruit and ate it, but Shi'er was the only one who ate the other fruits.

Cuilu said: "Why doesn't Shi'er eat mulberry fruit, don't you love to eat it?" ”

Shi'er smiled reluctantly and said, "Seeing that everyone is eating, Shi'er thought that I would eat after the girl, mother and sisters have finished eating." ”

Cuilu said: "Ouch, Shi'er is so well-behaved and sensible, come, my sister will reward you with some mulberry fruit to eat." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a few mulberry fruits and stuffed them into Shi'er's hand, and Shi'er couldn't shirk it, so she could only eat it with a smile.

When it was time for dinner, Hua'er brought food to Hui Yu, and Hui Yu showed surprise on her face and asked, "Isn't Shi'er on duty today?" How did you draw it? ”

Hua'er replied: "Shi'er had a rash on her body, so she changed to a slave to serve the girl. ”

"Why did you suddenly get a rash? Did you call a doctor to take a look? Hui Yu said with concern.

Hua'er shook her head and said, "Shi'er said that she smelled pollen in the garden, and it wouldn't be in the way if she slept all night, so she didn't call a doctor." ”

It turned out to be pollen allergies, but I didn't expect Shi'er to still have this kind of physique, and I haven't heard her mention it.

At this moment, Emerald Green walked in, saw that it was the painting that was setting up the food, and asked again. The painting still answered as he had just said.

Emerald Green was surprised: "No, it turns out that the next day's flowers were going to be thrown away in the girl's house, and Shi'er begged to go, saying that she was going to make dried flowers." If you really smell pollen and get a rash, you'll wake up early. Or call a doctor to take a look, don't delay the treatment. ”

Huiyu heard what Emerald Green said, and also felt that it was better to call the doctor to diagnose it, and not to carry it on the shoulders of the disease when it was not a problem. So I told Fang's mother to find a doctor.

After seeing it, the doctor said that it was not a rash caused by pollen, but the reason for eating mulberry fruit. also said that Shi'er didn't let the doctor see it at first, but later she still pressed the doctor's pulse.

Hui Yu's face sank when she heard this, she kindly found a doctor to see Shi'er, she was still not happy, and the cause of the diagnosis was not the pollen allergy that Shi'er said before, that is, Shi'er lied. But why did she lie, didn't she care about her own body?

Suddenly, Huiyu remembered that Shi'er had eaten mulberry fruit and dyed her cloak before, if Shi'er had always known that eating mulberry fruit would cause allergies, then she had deliberately soiled her cloak before...

But what did she do with her cloak soiled? Aren't you afraid of being punished? Hui Yu thought that Shi'er had dug a pit and waited for everyone to jump in, so she decided to interrogate her carefully and never tolerate it, otherwise these subordinates would not take the master seriously, and would actually set the master.

When I arrived at Shi'er's room, I saw her curled up in the quilt, revealing her head, and red spots could be faintly seen on her face.

Huiyu didn't bother to ask about her condition, and asked directly: "Shi'er, why do you lie that you smelled pollen and got a rash?" When you soiled your cloak before, did you do it on purpose? ”

Shi'er hurriedly got up from the bed and said: "Girl, the slave has no intention of deceiving, the slave and maid will have a rash when they smell pollen, and this time I thought it was because of this." As for the cloak when it was soiled, the slave did not have a rash. ”

When Emerald heard Huiyu's question, she also remembered what happened at that time, and she was also suspicious of Shi'er, opened Shi'er's wardrobe, took out a handful of dried flowers from it, and said: "Girl, this is the dried flowers in Shi'er's cabinet, Shi'er has always liked to make dried flowers, if you smell the dried flowers and have a rash, then how do these dried flowers work?" ”

Huiyu also looked at Shi'er and said, "Shi'er, how do you explain what Emerald said?" ”

Shi'er couldn't hide it, so she kowtowed to Huiyu again and again, and said, "Girl, spare your life, Shi'er didn't mean to deceive you, it's all Qin'er's idea for the slave." ”

Then she told her how Qin'er helped her get mulberry fruit from the outside, how she deliberately ate and soiled her cloak, and took the opportunity to get close to Caiyun, and worshiped Caiyun as a teacher.

Huiyu was shocked, not because Shi'er had Caiyun's idea to find a way to go to the long house, but because Qin'er was able to grasp the weakness of Emerald Green and Caiyun's character, and set up such a set.
