Chapter 043
I really want to hear everyone's comments on this book, the author now has the feeling of singing a one-man show on stage alone, with tears in his eyes.
Fu Jia stood in front of the kang and looked at Mrs. Hou with some puzzlement. Mrs. Hou didn't look at her, but glanced at Zhang, and suddenly smiled: "Don't be busy changing it first." Then he turned his head and asked Fu Jia, "You really don't know where this came from?" ”
At this time, her tone of voice was already very cold, and she was like the two of them who usually doted on Fu Jia. It's ridiculous that Fu Jia hasn't reacted yet, so she sacrificed her usual coquettish magic weapon, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, Jia'er wants to change her clothes first." ”
Mrs. Hou raised her voice abruptly and said, "Grandmother asked you, why didn't you answer?" ”
She had never spoken so violently, not to mention Fu Jia at this time, even Fu Jue was frightened, and hurriedly got up and stood with her head down. For a moment, the whole room seemed to stop breathing.
Mrs. Hou said coldly again: "Let me ask you one last time, where have you been in the mansion today?" Where did the ghost needles come from? Don't say I didn't remind you, our Hou Mansion has no of these weeds from the front lake to the back garden, except for one place. Honestly, did you go there? ”
The voice of her last question rose sharply an octave, Fu Jia trembled, raised her eyes to look, but saw that her grandmother, who usually loved her the most, was gloomy and fierce at this time, staring at her viciously, her eyes were full of suppressed anger.
Fu Jia didn't know anything anymore, and at this time she also understood that Mrs. Hou was really angry with her.
She was very aggrieved in her heart.
She really didn't know when she got it. She said she didn't know, but Mrs. Hou didn't seem to believe it at all.
Fu Jia glanced at Mrs. Hou with tears in her eyes, and opened her mouth, wanting to repeat her previous words. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, she suddenly remembered Huan'er, and then remembered the hairpin on Fu Jun's head that went up and returned.
Fu Jia's face changed, and his open mouth was closed.
How did she forget about it? Could it be that Huan'er, the dead girl, didn't go to Houhu, but went to a nearby place? And that place is not only the only place in the mansion where there are ghost needles, but also the source of Mrs. Hou's anger.
The more Fu Jia thought about it, the more he felt that this was very possible. On the one hand, she secretly hated Huan'er for being bold, and on the other hand, she was worried that if she said Huan'er, the incident would happen, so did she still have her face?
Fu Jia's heart was racing, and his face was uncertain. This scene was seen in the eyes of others, but Fu Jia was frightened; In the eyes of those who have a heart, they directly admit that Fu Jia is a thief.
Seeing his daughter's pale face, with fear and uneasiness in her eyes, Zhang's heart tightened. She stepped forward and was about to speak, but she heard Cui Shi say: "The second girl changed her clothes when she came back from the bamboo forest and stayed in the house all the time. This must not have been glued by the second girl herself, but I am afraid that it was also glued from others. I just saw a girl coming back from outside, but it was the second girl's side, just ask her to come over and have a look, don't you understand? ”
Fu Jun almost applauded Cui's.
is really worthy of being a girl from a big family, people are talking in the house, and they can also see six roads and ears to listen to all directions, and they can see Huan'er coming in from outside. It is best for her to say this, saving Fu Jun from taking the lead herself.
Zhang also knew that this matter was different at this time, but she had no time to think about countermeasures, and when she saw Mrs. Hou's bottomless eyes looking over, she didn't dare to hesitate anymore, so she had to ask Sango: "Where did Huan'er go?" ”
Coral hurriedly said, "The girl sent her to stay under the porch." ”
Zhang said, "Call her in." With that, he swept his eyes at the coral imperceptibly.
Coral bowed his head respectfully and retreated.
Fu Jia was already sweating in a hurry.
What she was most afraid of at this time was to ask Huan'er to come in, but she couldn't stop her from coming in, so she was so anxious that she forgot about those nasty little black spots on her skirt.
Fu Jun saw Fu Jia's face from a distance, with a cute look on his face, but his heart was full of joy. It seems that she is not wrong, what this little ghost needle refers to is to cover Cuizhai, and it is also a certain thing or someone that cannot be touched in Mrs. Hou's mind. And this thing or this person is the reverse scale on Mrs. Hou's body. Fu Jia can be regarded as kicking the iron plate today.
Now Fu Jun's heart is much more balanced. Fu Jia dared to steal her birthday gift, so she asked Fu Jia to see clearly how "loved" Mrs. Hou was for her.
Huan'er quickly entered the house. As soon as she entered, she was horrified to find that everyone was watching her. She was too frightened to look up, only to look down at the ground, but suddenly noticed that there were many black spots on the hem of her dress.
She thought it was muddy water splashing on her dress, and she couldn't help but panic even more. It is disrespectful to come to see the master in such a mess, and if the mother in charge knows about it, she will be punished.
Thinking about it like this, Huan'er became a little secretive, and her walking posture became very strange, as if she wanted to hide the hem of her skirt. In the eyes of everyone, she has preconceived ideas, just as she is weak-hearted.
And everyone looked at her, and then at Fu Jia, and they all showed a look of sudden realization. The number of ghost needles on Huan'er's body is even more than Fu Jia's. It seems that she is the source of Yiqiē.
"Don't get down on your knees yet!" Sango's voice snapped out.
Huan'er hurriedly knelt down, but heard Mrs. Hou say, "Slow, don't kneel yet." ”
As soon as Huan'er heard this, she hurriedly stood up straight again, but her head hung lower.
Mrs. Hou asked her, "Are you serving the second girl?" ”
Huan'er said tremblingly: "Back to the old lady's words, the maid's name is Huan'er, and she is serving the second girl." ”
Mrs. Hou sneered, glanced at the Zhang family again, and then said, "Tell me, where have you been today?" ”
Huan'er didn't expect Mrs. Hou to ask this question, and opened her mouth to answer, and suddenly remembered what Fu Jia asked her to do. She hurriedly closed her mouth, and a chill ran down her back: Could it be that the matter was revealed? Did the fourth girl complain to the old lady?
She was so shocked that she didn't dare to speak rashly, but her body began to tremble.
Fu Jia stood beside Mrs. Hou, her heart had already raised her throat, and at this moment, seeing Huan'er's hesitant and sneaky appearance, she was even more angry, scared and anxious. Finally, she was in a hurry, and hurriedly raised her voice and said, "Grandmother asked you something, and you don't reply quickly." ”
Fu Jia's voice was a wake-up call for Huan'er. She was also really anxious, she didn't have time to look at the cold eyes cast by Mrs. Hou, and she didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang's hidden angry eyes. She only thought in her heart that she must not ask Huan'er to tell her about it.
Huan'er took the opportunity of Fu Jia's questioning to raise her head and glance at Fu Jia. saw that Fu Jia was also looking at her, with a threatening look in his eyes.
Huan'er is very clever and courageous. Otherwise, he would not dare to secretly disobey Fu Jia's order and hide the glazed peach blossom hairpin privately. At this time, I saw Fu Jia standing beside Mrs. Hou with a nervous expression, but she was not flustered. Huan'er has a bottom in her heart.
She looked frightened and lowered her head slowly, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Coral standing behind the crowd, and said three words to her with the shape of her mouth.
These three words were like an empowerment, and Huan'er's mind lit up, and he lowered his head and replied: "Back to the old lady's words,...... Today, I went out of the house and went to Chaoyangpo outside. ”
Chaoyang slope is not far from the Hou Mansion, it is a small hill formed naturally, because there are a few peach blossoms planted on the slope, and there is a small stream, it can be regarded as a wild place in the city.
Huan'er's answer surprised some people, but relieved others. And the first one to breathe a sigh of relief was not someone else, but Mrs. Hou.
Actually, she didn't want to talk about those old things in front of everyone. It's just that the matter has come to this point, forcing her to ask. Finally, Changfang was two points smart, and he didn't reveal this matter on the spot.
Mrs. Hou turned her eyes to look at Zhang. Long room? Very good, very good. She didn't want to touch certain things, but she would never allow anyone to dare to use this as a threat to challenge her authority in the palace.
Mrs. Hou's eyes when she looked at Zhang became even more unpredictable than Fang Cai, and she said lightly: "Very good." ”
This sentence should have been said to Huan'er, but Mrs. Hou's eyes kept looking at Zhang, as if she was talking to Zhang.
Zhang didn't dare to look at his mother-in-law, so he could only bow his head slightly, but his eyes were cold.
Mrs. Hou glanced at Fu Jia beside her again. At this moment, the disgust on her face was so stark that it was almost undisguised.
At this point, there's no need to make any more shows. Everyone is only a layer of window paper that has not been opened. Even so, Mrs. Hou felt that her "favor" for Fu Jia could also be diluted as appropriate.
Fu Jia's eyes turned red again.
Huan'er's reply made her narrowly escaped, and she should have been glad that it was. However, when she saw the disgust on Mrs. Hou's face, she realized that things were far worse than she thought.
Fu Jia opened his mouth to say something, but he was afraid that he would be reprimanded by Mrs. Hou like Fang Cai, so he closed his mouth again, his eyes full of grievances.
Mrs. Hou didn't seem to see it at all, and said lukewarmly: "What are you doing here, don't go down quickly." ”
When she said this, Mrs. Hou's tone was very flat, as if she was talking to Fu Jun as usual. No, more than that, her tone was much more flat than that, as if she were telling someone to do something.
Fu Jia was stunned on the ground, his face as white as paper.
How could she have been so embarrassed by Mrs. Hou? This is even more embarrassing than public humiliation. Even though her tears flowed, she didn't dare to cry, so she had to hide her face with a handkerchief.
Zhang's heart was anxious and painful, and he was about to step forward. After all, it was her daughter, even if Mrs. Hou didn't like it, she couldn't leave it alone.
At this moment, I saw that Fu Chen, who had never made a sound, suddenly took two steps forward, saluted Mrs. Hou, and said respectfully: "Grandmother, the second sister is not feeling well, and my grandson will send her back." ”
Zhang's raised foot was immediately retracted, and he glanced at Fu Chen without a trace, his eyes flashing with approval and pride. As the grandson of the eldest of the long house, Fu Chen came out to speak at this time, and he handled it very well, not only to save the face of the long house, but also to give Mrs. Hou a step.
