Chapter 171: Sleepless Nights
When Liu Qingsu heard this, he hurriedly went up and grabbed Bai's arm and said, "We all care too much about our second cousin-in-law, so we rushed to explain." ”
When Bai heard what Liu Qingsu said, he first glanced at Mama Wei, and then said with a smile: "You girl can actually say something nice." ”
Liu Qingsu also smiled and said: "No matter how good it is, someone has to listen to it." ”
Bai knew that Liu Qingsu really regarded himself as his own person, and he really cared about himself, so Bai's heart was warm.
Then Bai touched a few strands of hair on Liu Qingsu's shoulders helplessly and said, "I can't mean you." ”
Liu Qingsu said: "It's the second cousin-in-law who is reluctant to talk about me. ”
Bai Shi said with a smile: "I really let you talk, you should go back early, it's not early." ”
Liu Qingsu nodded and said to the Bai family: "Second cousin, take care." ”
Bai nodded.
Liu Qingsu and Mama Wei took Bixiao, who was already asleep, back to Xiaofeng Tower.
"Blue Moon, is anyone here here?"
Lan Yue said: "Miss Hui, the third miss came and said that she wanted to see Bixiao, and the slave maid said that she took Bixiao out to breathe according to your instructions, and the third lady left." ”
Liu Qingsu felt that there was no problem and asked Lan Yue to bring dinner, but it was a lot of snacks, even if it was cold, it was nothing, Liu Qingsu ate it like this.
Lan Yue said cautiously, "Why don't you go to the kitchen again to see if there is any other hot food, or heat up the meal again?" ”
Liu Qingsu said: "No need, it's too troublesome." ”
Lan Yue had no choice but to keep silent, she also knew that it was in the Wu'an Hou Mansion after all, and there was usually time for the big kitchen to turn off the fire and turn it on, unless it was specifically requested by the mansion. It's just that Lan Yue still spoke out because she was worried about Liu Qingsu's body.
As expected, he was rejected by Liu Qingsu.
Lan Yue saw that Liu Qingsu finished eating, so she went to clean up the table.
By the time the first qiē was finished, it was already dark.
Liu Qingsu just took out the jasper flute Lan Yue that the Bai clan had just given and came in and said, "Miss." The slave maid felt that there was one thing that she still had to tell you. ”
Liu Qingsu put down the jasper flute in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Lan Yue said: "When the young lady came back, she asked the slave maid if anyone had come, and the slave maid said the third young lady. But not long after the slave maid sent off the third lady, Zizhu came back, and the slave maid went to give the young lady a meal, and on the way back, she saw the second lady who seemed to have come from the Xiaofeng Building where we lived. But the slave maid asked Zizhu, and Zizhu said that the second lady had never come in at all. ”
At this time, Zizhu also came in and planned to say something to Liu Qingsu, just in time to hear Lan Yue's words.
Zizhu said, "What Blue Moon said is right. The second lady really didn't come to Xiaofeng Tower. The slave maid also came in for this purpose. ”
Zizhu glanced at Blue Moon, who nodded.
Liu Qingsu said: "Say it." ”
Zizhu said: "When Lan Yue came back to tell the slave about this, the slave also felt strange. So he discussed with Blue Moon. Blue Moon stayed behind to continue guarding the portal, and the slave went out to have a look. ”
Zizhu took a breath and continued: "When the slave went out to inquire, someone also happened to see the second lady coming to Xiaofeng Tower. One has a good relationship with the third-class maid Green Sprout in the second lady's house, saying that it is the second miss, see Miss, your meals today are mostly snacks, come over and send a few dishes. ”
Speaking of which, Lan Yue and Liu Qingsu both felt very strange. This Qi Yueyan is obviously lying, but what does she want to do?
Liu Qingsu's mind came to mind again when he first came, and his second cousin took care of him. Liu Qingsu said: "Is there anything else?" ”
Zizhu glanced at Liu Qingsu and lowered his head and said, "I heard that the eldest master intends to marry the second young lady to the prince." ”
Liu Qingsu also knew that the princes of the Manchu Dynasty were now married, except for the seven princes, they were all married. Could it be that the eldest uncle wants the second cousin to marry the seventh prince, but does it mean that the second lady and the third prince of the Anguo Mansion are discussing family affairs? Usually, when it comes to the stage of deliberation, it is almost settled.
"Then do you know when the eldest uncle had this intention?"
Zizhu said: "This slave doesn't know, but the slave heard that the eldest master seems to have told the Hou Ye about it a few days ago. Hou Ye also seems to have said that the Hou Mansion cannot have a daughter who is a concubine. ”
Zizhu said again: "This credibility should not be high. ”
Liu Qingsu also felt that the credibility was not high, first, it was indeed as his grandfather said. How could the Hou Mansion allow a daughter to be a concubine, which would make other mansions in the capital say that they were dead, on the other hand, what the grandfather and uncle said was naturally very secret, how could it be casually let the subordinates listen to it. also let the subordinates pass it out.
But the news that Zizhu brought back the next day made Liu Qingsu feel that it was time to return to Liu's mansion.
Right now, after Zizhu finished speaking, Liu Qingsu asked Zizhu and Lanyue to go down.
"It's still hard work today, Mama Wei is on duty all night."
Mama Wei said, "The slave knows. ”
After Zizhu and Lanyue went out, Liu Qingsu continued to take out the jasper flute that had been put aside just now and looked at it carefully by candlelight.
Liu Qingsu felt regretful that she didn't see the flowers above.
Mama Wei said, "Miss, the candle flame is dim. Let's enjoy it tomorrow, it hurts my eyes. ”
Liu Qingsu nodded. Then he said to Mama Wei: "What does Mama think of this flute?" ”
Mama Wei said: "The slave doesn't understand the rhythm of music. ”
Liu Qingsu remembered that his mother had said something similar at the time.
"My mother is the one who doesn't know the rhythm, otherwise I can play a song with your father."
At that time, Liu Qingsu didn't know what music was, but at that time, he had to argue with Qi to sing.
In the end, Qi hummed a tune, in fact, Liu Qingsu thought it was quite good. After that, Liu Qingsu could often hear that tune when he fell asleep, and even when Qi was dying, Qi still sang that tune to Liu Qingsu.
Therefore, in Liu Qingsu's childhood heart, the Qi family has always been good, so that the sudden death of the Qi family Liu Qingsu could not accept it.
Therefore, Liu Qingsu still has a memory of that song.
But what makes Liu Qingsu embarrassed is that she can't play the flute.
Fortunately, because of Liu Qingsu's previous life, the musical literacy in this life is still okay.
So Liu Qingsu groped for a while and was able to simply blow a few notes.
Just when Liu Qingsu blew out the first note, some people in the house seemed to be a little nervous.
A faint person in the darkness said: "How many years, I haven't seen this flute and think about it, let's listen to it again, we only recognize the master who can play the summoning song." ”
And Wu Anhou, who had just fallen asleep, felt like he was hallucinating, and muttered, "Yueniang, is it you?" ”
Mama Wei said to Liu Qingsu: "Miss, it's not early, let's rest early." ”
Liu Qingsu nodded, now that she has found the doorway, she will practice again tomorrow morning, maybe she will be able to blow it out.
Liu Qingsu slept well this night, but many people didn't sleep all night. (To be continued)
