Chapter Ninety-Six: The Beginning (Second Watch)
Rumors spread, and Chang's mouth was foaming in a hurry. Although there was no movement in the Qi Mansion later, public opinion was extremely unfavorable to the Chu family.
And the Marquis of Subei is in the army again, and he will not be able to come back for a while, and Chang's mother, the head of the house, had to call the people in the outer courtyard to secretly investigate the people who spread the rumors, but it has been unsuccessful.
Chang wondered, who was manipulating this matter? In the northwest, even the local officials appointed by the emperor had to give the Subei Marquis Mansion three points of thin noodles, and the people who secretly slandered the Marquis Mansion in this way really ate the ambition leopard guts.
Chang thought about it, but he really couldn't guess the purpose behind this rumor, and he was afraid that someone would slander the Hou Mansion, so he had to write and repair the book and ask for help from the Marquis of Subei.
Although the protagonist of the rumor is Danyu, people will treat the girl of the Chu family as one, in order to avoid embarrassment and criticism, Hui Yu and Duo Yu stayed at home during this time except for the school.
It also happened that Mrs. Dou came to see Dou's, and Huiyu didn't have to go to Ningcai Courtyard, so she was free in the afternoon.
Lying in the room and reading a book, Huiyu was a little sleepy.
When Tang's mother walked into the house, Huiyu Fang Qiao yawned loudly, and her eyes were a little confused.
Tang's mother stepped forward to pick up the wild travel notes scattered on the side of the bed, neatly placed them on the shelf by the windowsill, and pushed open the half-hidden window, and suddenly a cool breeze blew in.
Hui Yu smelled the smell of autumn brought in by the breeze, and her mind suddenly cleared up. He asked, "Mom, is the weather good outside?" ”
Mother Tang bent down to put Huiyu's shoes that had fallen off the side of the bed neatly, and said, "That's not it, it's past the beginning of autumn." It's getting cooler, too. The sun is no longer poisonous. He straightened up again and helped Huiyu sit up. Said: "This autumn day in the northwest is quite beautiful, the sky is blue and cloudless. The sun is abundant, and although the leaves are all over the ground, it is very autumnal. Compared with the capital, it is more autumn and refreshing. ”
After listening to Tang's mother's words, Huiyu couldn't help but think of the imperial capital in her previous life, the haze all day long, and she didn't know what the current capital was like, so she asked: "Is the capital more lively than the northwest?" ”
Speaking of her homeland, Tang's mother is naturally familiar. The conversation was also endless, and she could only be heard: "The capital is much larger than the northwest, and it is as big as three northwest cities." The streets are one after the other, and there is a lot of traffic every day, but they are orderly. When Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he demarcated a good area for the capital, and the south side was full of merchants selling vegetables and rice, cloth and oil, and the north side was those who worked as coolies, which were the most inferior. To the east are all big families, and to the west are the families of the eunuchs. So if you want to do something in the capital, even if you can't figure it out, it's right to go in the four directions of east, west, north and south. ”
Isn't this the wealth of the east and the wealth of the west. Is the south poor and the north cheap? It's similar to the pattern of the imperial capital in the previous life...... Isn't it true that the ancients were so particular about their position?
Tang's mother also continued: "Our Guogong Mansion is on the best street in the west, occupying a full street. Outsiders are all right, the Guogong Mansion is so majestic. On the streets and alleys, there is not a single word. It's a pity that the girl couldn't go north. Otherwise, the glorious and rich girls of the country's mansion can also enjoy it. ”
Hui Yu was stunned in her heart, no matter how good the Guogong Mansion was, it was just a foreigner. The monstrous glory and wealth can't hide the fact that the person is under the fence, who knows what the situation will be? So he said: "I don't think it's a pity, the only thing I regret is that I didn't see my grandmother and the elderly, and I don't know if there is a chance to fulfill filial piety in this life......"
As soon as the words were finished, Emerald Green came in with the newly made clothes and said, "Girl, the clothes have been retrieved." ”
Hui Yu got out of bed, walked over and looked at the newly made clothes, the styles are all fashionable, the needlework is also dense, and she said with satisfaction: "The clothes are very good." ”
When I looked up, I saw Emerald Green with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and I couldn't help asking, "Do you have something to say?" ”
Emerald Green said: "Girl, who do you think the slave saw in the sewing room?" Aunt Fan. ”
Hui Yu frowned, Aunt Fan? Isn't that Duo Yu's mother? How did you get involved with her?
Emerald Green continued: "As soon as the slave maid entered the needlework room, she saw Aunt Fan whispering to the lady in the needlework room, and Aunt Fan only said that she was here to ask for needlework, and the slave didn't think much about it, just wanted to take the girl's clothes." It happened that the clothes of the four girls were also on the side, and the slave maid accidentally touched them, but the clothes were different from those sent by the lady in the needlework room before, the color was the same, but it was a lot thinner, and the texture was very different. The slave was afraid that the girl's clothes were not the same, so she deliberately touched it, but fortunately it was the same. Isn't it strange to you? Why did the four girls' clothes change? ”
Hui Yu asked, "Isn't it a mistake in the needlework room?" ”
Emerald Green said: "The slave maid originally thought so. But later, Aunt Fan directly took the clothes and sent them to Xiuxuanzhai. The slave maid wondered, couldn't Aunt Fan feel the different texture of the material? ”
Hui Yu said: "It's okay, maybe Aunt Fan didn't know what the fourth sister chose before, and she should find out when the fourth sister gets the clothes." If there is really a problem in the needlework room, the fourth sister will definitely deal with it with the second aunt. ”
Emerald nodded, and said no more about it.
Huiyu just listened to Tang's mother about the good weather, and saw that the sun was indeed shining outside the window, so she thought about going out for a walk, and took the green to the garden.
From afar, he saw Duo Yu sitting in the small pavilion, so he also walked towards the pavilion. saw Duo Yu wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and her eyes seemed to be a little red, as if she had cried.
Hui Yu was concerned: "What is the fourth sister doing here? Why do you look at the redness of your eyes? ”
Duo Yu seemed to have just noticed that Hui Yu was coming, and hurriedly stood up and said, "There was a gust of wind just now, and it seemed to be something in my eyes, so I rubbed it." How did the third sister get here? Shouldn't you go to accompany your sister-in-law at this time? ”
Seeing that Duo Yu didn't want to say it explicitly, Hui Yu didn't ask anymore, so she said, "Mrs. Dou came to visit my sister-in-law, so I stole a free time." Take a walk around the garden. Do you want the fourth sister to join me? ”
Duo Yu lowered her head, but said: "I also really want to accompany the third sister, but after my eyes entered something, I was always a little uncomfortable, and I was about to go back." ”
Even so, Hui Yu didn't force her to stay, and told Duo Yu to go back and get water to wash well.
Duo Yu said goodbye and left, and when she walked past Hui Yu, the sun shone on the golden hairpin pinned to Duo Yu's head, and somehow, she always felt that although the appearance was still the same, the inlaid rubies and even the carved peony patterns were a little rough.
Before Hui Yu could take a closer look, Duo Yu had already walked away, and Hui Yu didn't think much about it. I went to visit the garden.
Li Che and Chen Dongting were standing on the hillside a kilometer away from the barracks, and a flying pigeon circled in the air a few times and stopped on Li Che's arm.
Richer skillfully took out the note wrapped around the pigeon's paws, fed the pigeon something to eat, and released the pigeon again.
Unfolding the note, Li Che frowned.
Chen Dongting on the side asked, "What's the matter?" But is it different from what we think? ”
Li Che directly handed the note to Chen Dongting and said, "Take a look at it yourself." (To be continued......)
