Section 114 Cross-examination
Among the several big girls around Song Paner, Nian Lu is the most peaceful and quiet character.
She never fights for anything.
It's not that I don't want to be enterprising by nature, but I feel that I can't compare, and I don't know what to do with the competition, and I make my wife unhappy.
She is diligent and attentive, which is also her strength.
Mu Qing is favored, Peony will be very uncomfortable, but Nianlu doesn't care.
Mu Qing is calm and capable, comparable to Begonia, and good at making dim sum, Mrs. and Miss Young Master like her, which Nianlu does not have.
If you can't compare, there is no need to be jealous.
It's just that Peony can't get used to Mu Qing.
Although she didn't dare to show it in front of her wife, she had to chew some tongues behind her back, it was nothing more than saying that Mu Qingyuan was the eldest lady beside her, and the third lady just said a casual word, so she abandoned the eldest lady and followed the third lady.
is either a merciless and ungrateful climber, or a ill-intentioned person.
This is Peony's opinion of Mu Qing.
Nian Lu felt that their wife's true temperament was much easier to ponder than the eldest lady's temper. It is true that their wives are sometimes angry, but when they lose their temper, they are gone, and they never get angry indiscriminately.
If you feel the pulse of your wife, you won't offend your wife when you say anything.
As for the eldest lady, she is a little incomprehensible.
It's all about being a subordinate, where is it not the same?
The same wholehearted service to the master, what is not merciful?
That time, the old man on the other side of Sanyuanpo Hutong was sick, and Mrs. Mu Qing stayed by Miss Seven's side to serve, and after she came back, Mu Qing's expression was wrong.
Then, she quietly asked the little guy at the corner door to take the bag and go out.
Nianlu looked at it in her eyes that time, and she was puzzled.
won't let Peony guess correctly, Mu Qing is really bad for Madame, right?
It's okay on the side, dare to harm Mrs., Nianlu is not followed.
Like tonight. After serving the lady's side, she rested, and Nianlu lived in the ear room at the back of the main courtyard, and also rested in peace.
Tonight is the night of peony.
Nianlu sat for a while, her eyes were a little astringent, so she got up and ran to a cup of tea and sat in front of the window to drink.
Then, she heard the door open.
She just thinks it's a little girl who runs out to play at night.
It's almost night, and the corner gates everywhere are to be keyed. The little maids are not sensible, and when they turn around, Mrs. will scold them for not disciplining them well.
Nian Lu quietly followed.
Then, the figure walked very quickly.
Nianlu became more and more surprised. He followed a few steps lightly, but found that it was Mu Qing.
She was a little embarrassed.
Mu Qing was about to go to the yard for a stroll.
She didn't grow up with Nianlu, Peony, etc., but I'm afraid that I also wonder in my heart that these big girls don't like her.
Suddenly, Nianlu followed her again. I'm afraid she thinks too much.
Nian Lu quickly stopped and wanted to go back, but saw Mu Qing go out of the corner gate and go out to the second gate.
Out of the second gate, it is the outer courtyard.
...... on such a big night
Nianlu is not sure. He quietly followed.
Mu Qing didn't go out of the second door.
She was at the corner gate, talking to a servant.
Far away, Nianlu couldn't hear what she was saying.
Then, she handed the little girl a purse in her arms and said a few more words.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, he hurried back to the inner courtyard.
Nian Lu began to struggle in her heart.
It is forbidden to give and receive privately in the inner house. No matter what Mu Qing handed out, Madame would definitely not allow such a stealing of chickens and dogs.
But Nianlu didn't catch any evidence.
She spoke ill of Mu Qing for no reason. Madame only thinks she is jealous, but she makes herself suffer.
Sue sΓΉ peony, peony must take advantage of the topic to play, and quarrel first.
Madame was pregnant, and Madame was also sad when she quarreled.
Nian Lu is slow. Thought a lot along the way. She remembered that a few days ago, Miss Seven's nursing sister Wei Rui asked her for some fresh patterns, and said that she would make a small coat for Miss Seven to embroider.
Miss Seven is not good at needlework. That's why I like some delicate patterns the most.
But Nianlu dealt with the new little maids all day long, for fear that they would do something wrong, and she didn't dare them to be idle for a moment, so she forgot about it.
Thinking about it, she excused herself and went to Gu Jinzhi's courtyard.
Gu Jinzhi was listening to Wei Rui talk about this: "...... The two sisters are both powerful by the side of the lady, and it is not good to break everyone, and I don't know what they did specifically, so they folded back. β
Zhu Mom praised on the side: "Good boy, you did the right thing." β
Youhe also said: "More things are better than less things." Madame's sisters, it's not our turn. We just need to serve the girl well. β
Gu Jinzhi was silent and did not speak.
For Mu Qing, she has never had much doubt.
Mu Qing has a calm and introverted temperament, compared to other maids in the family, she is indeed capable, a little bit of begonia, no wonder her mother likes her.
She is also divided, her words and demeanors are all rules, and she has never seen her have any bewitchment.
At this point, Song Paner and Gu Jinzhi are relieved.
Suddenly, she did such an unruly thing, and Gu Jinzhi paused in her heart.
As she was talking, the little maid came in and said that Sister Nianlu, who was beside Madame, was here.
Youhe and Wei Rui were startled.
Especially Wei Rui, looking at Gu Jinzhi helplessly.
Could it be that she was just discovered by Nian Lu?
"I'm going to invite her in." Gu Jinzhi smiled, and then said to Wei Rui, "She found out, and she dared to come to the door to question?" You think too much......"
Wei Rui smiled and greeted him out.
Nian Lu explained what she had forgotten to give Wei Rui a trick for: "...... I'll draw one for my sister first. β
has already gotten up, Song Paner must have fallen asleep over there.
No matter how anxious Nian Lu is, she shouldn't run to Gu Jinzhi's side at this time.
It was about that she had just followed Mu Qing, and she didn't go back to the main courtyard, so she came straight to Gu Jinzhi's side.
Wei Rui thanked her and went out to pour tea.
Gu Jinzhi asked Zhu's mother and Youhe to go out first.
When only Gu Jinzhi and Nian Lu were left in the room, Nian Lu told Gu Jinzhi about Mu Qing: "...... The slave maid sued Mrs. SΓΉ, afraid that the lady would think that the slave maid was jealous and provoked trouble, but she mistook the right thing. The slave and maid did not tell half a lie. This is the second time Mu Qing has handed things outside. β
"I believe it." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll write down this matter." Tomorrow has its own opinions. It's about to be lost, so my sister should go back first, lest my mother can't explain when she asks. After a few days, I will be free to paint Wei Rui. β
Nian Lu said yes, and it was not inked.
She took the palace lamp again, got up and walked quickly.
As soon as Nianlu left, everyone asked Gu Jinzhi what Nianlu was doing.
Gu Jinzhi said it again.
He told them, "Don't speak out yet." Let's know what Mu Qing has secrets. The quarrel came out for no reason, and the lady was angry, it was all yours or not. β
A few people were busy saying that they didn't dare.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Gu Jinzhi freshened up early. I went to my mother's place for breakfast.
Zhu Zhongjun also came early in the morning.
Mu Qing and Nian Lu served on the side.
Nianlu looked a little apprehensive, and looked at Gu Jinzhi several times; Mu Qing was calm and expressionless.
Song Paner's eyes were sharp. Soon noticed Nianlu's strange appearance.
She remained silent for a moment.
After eating, Gu Jinzhi accompanied her out for a walk.
Brother Xuan and Zhu Zhongjun followed.
Gu Jinzhi's path today is different from usual.
Song Paner asked her, "Are we going to go out of the second door?" You led me straight away. β
Mu Qing's face changed at this time.
This was the way she went out last night.
Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "I haven't been here." Mother, there's a corner gate over there, where does it lead? Is it connected to the Luyang Palace? β
Song Paner thought about it. She didn't know much either.
It just so happened that there was a little guy watching at the door.
Seeing Song Paner and others coming, he hurriedly opened the door.
Mu Qing's face became even more ugly.
When I opened the door, there was an alley outside, which did not lead to the Luyang King and the Nanchang Palace, but to the back street, and there was a small street. Sell loose stuff.
Song Pan'er asked the little guy to close the door again: "This is a mixture of fish and dragons." Most unsafe. If any mother-in-law or maid wants to save trouble, open the door to buy things, and bring in people who are not clean. But how is it good? β
The little guy said yes again and again.
Song Pan'er still felt that it was inappropriate, and walked a few steps and said to Mu Qing: "You go and sue him, seal the door, and bring the key to us to take care of it." Send him to other places. The door was open, and it was the mother-in-law in the kitchen who came in and out. Now I think about it. It's really not appropriate. I'm afraid that there will be dirty things. β
Mu Qing's face became ugly.
Nian Lu was also worried.
Song Paner was puzzled.
What's going on with these two girls.
Gu Jinzhi brought Song Pan'er here, she must have known.
Go back and interrogate your daughter.
Song Paner didn't say anything in public. Let Mu Qing go quickly, turn around and lead them back.
King Luyang and Brother Xuan walked behind.
Brother Xuan didn't want to be with him, so he quickly squeezed to Gu Jinzhi's side.
King Luyang looked around.
The courtyard of Gu Mansion is close to Nanchang Mansion and Luyang Palace, connected on three sides, and all are connected by courtyard walls.
The emperor originally intended to give it to the princess.
Between brothers and sisters or aunts and nephews, there is no need to taboo anything, so there is simply no separate courtyard wall, and the three families are connected by walls.
But living in the Gu family like this is inappropriate.
Zhu Zhongjun turned his gaze and looked around.
After walking around, it's almost time to eat.
Song Paner's legs were a little sore.
Gu Jinzhi helped her beat her legs.
She sent the others out, leaving only Ninro.
Peony was slightly surprised: What happened to Nianlu?
Song Paner didn't speak, just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and let Gu Jinzhi help her massage and relieve her labor.
Nian Lu's heart was up and down.
After a while, Mu Qing also came back, took the key in his hand, and handed it to Song Paner: "...... The little servant handed it to the secretary of the outer court, and said that the order faction would serve at the chariot and horse. β
Song Paner nodded lightly.
Then, her voice suddenly sharpened, and she said, "You two, kneel!" β
Nian Lu and Mu Qing each had something in their hearts, and when they heard the loud drink, their legs were weak, and they immediately knelt in front of Song Pan'er.
"What a little girl, dare to make a ghost in front of me!" Song Pan'er scolded in a deep voice, "I treat you too leniently on weekdays, right?" Nian Lu said first, what the hell is going on? β
"Mother......
As soon as Gu Jinzhi spoke, Song Pan'er glared at her: "You wait, it's time to ask." I'll ask Nianlu first! β
