1175, hidden worries
- Bai Momo, who returned to her room, closed the door, sat down at the small table, and was silent for a moment before she took out a small bottle from her sleeve.
This small porcelain vase does not have a mouth, specifically, the craftsman who made it melted the mouth with mud. The periphery of the bottle is coated with pure white jade-like pigment, but now the bottle is worn badly, and the white paint on the surface has fallen off a lot, but it is also from this that Bai Tao can vaguely see that this bottle seems to be cast with two layers of inner and outer layers.
Bai Tao stared at the small bottle, and the puzzled look in his eyes became thicker and thicker.
This bottle was thrown out by Mo Ye when she entered the Song Mansion just now and raised her feet to cross the high threshold.
At that time, Bai Tao walked a step behind Mo Ye, and when she saw this scene, she was in a hurry, and subconsciously moved her sleeves and pulled it into her sleeves.
Bai Tao would not show her martial arts in front of Mo Ye, but if this bottle was really just an ordinary spice bottle as she originally thought, she might return it, just to find a side angle to disguise her move to take the bottle.
You know, it's not easy to pick up things in the air.
However, when she looked at the vial, she quickly changed her mind. Not only because this bottle is not the spice bottle that the woman is used to, but also because Bai Tao saw many doubts from this bottle.
But she only saw the suspicion, and after looking at it for a long time, she couldn't find out what the suspicion of the bottle was, because the bottle closed the mouth.
Bai Tao squinted slightly, staring at the kind of bottle held in the palm of her hand, and pondered for a moment, then a new thought suddenly slipped through her mind: Could it be that this double-layer small bottle, which is as white as jade on the inside and completely transparent on the outside, is actually just a bottle-shaped treasure plaything?
At the age of the girl surnamed Mo, she likes delicate and transparent playthings, which is also due to her heart.
But looking at her nervous look just now, it seems that this is not such a simple plaything.
Bai Tao subconsciously held the bottle, leaned close to his ear and shook it.
There was no shaking, and no tremors were felt in the hands.
It seems that if this bottle is not an entity, it is an empty bottle, but the weight is still a little, this may be because the inner bottle gall sealed by the outer bottle is actually a jade gall made of precious jade, right?
But if it's really a jade gall, why is it so completely encircled and sealed?
Shouldn't jade be carved into a beautiful shape and hung outside the body in order to reflect its decorative function? The act of collecting jade in this way and in a way is really weird.
What's more, if it weren't for the layer of white paint on the outside of the small bottle that began to peel off, the human eye would not have been able to find that there was another layer inside.
This is not to use the jade-like thing inside as an ornament, but to hide it.
Bai Tao flipped the small bottle in his hand, and suddenly had a hint of smashing it.
However, before she could put this idea into action, she quickly tucked the small bottle into her sleeve, then got up and opened the door, pretending to be about to go out.
A few steps away from the door, a girl from the house was approaching. This girl happened to be looking for Bai Tao, and when she saw that Bai Tao just went out, the girl naturally showed a smile on her face, and she was already saying hello before she got closer.
If Bai Tao got up and opened the door a few steps slower, and the approaching maid outside walked faster, the maid might have noticed that Bai Tao seemed a little strange to shut herself in the room in broad daylight.
However, the slightest difference made an ordinary servant ignore this.
Under normal circumstances, the housekeepers in the house are not allowed to set foot in the house, because the living life of all the women in the house is divided into this piece, and the maid comes to find Bai Tao, but she actually just wants to bring a sentence.
Knowing that Yang Chen was back, but Ruan Luo stayed in the Ye Mansion, Bai Tao realized that Yang Chen and his party were just going to send Miss Ye back to the house, and they had been delayed for so long.
And I don't know why he came back alone, Bai Tao was a little worried about Ruan Luo, and hurriedly followed the girl to the front yard.
Yang Chen relayed Ruan Luo's words, originally to reassure the people in his family, but when Bai Tao learned about the process of the Ye Mansion and learned that Ruan Luo was actually ready to take on the affairs of the Ye family, she couldn't help but become more and more worried.
Seeing that most of Yang Chen's clothes were wet from the rain, it was because he had been waiting at the gate of Yefu for too long, Bai Tao hurriedly beckoned someone to boil hot water...... After being instructed to do trivial things, Bai Tao was a little idle, and she was worried about Ruan Luolai, and she forgot for a moment that she was still questioning the small bottle just now.
Her worried look attracted the attention of a maid beside her, but the maid only mentioned yì, and Bai Tao actually moved that thought, briefly explained the things in the house, and left the house.
Obviously, she went to Ye Mansion.
She walked in a hurry, and threw off the things she carried, but she suffered the maid she left behind. Looking at Bai Tao's back in the distance, this maid came back to her senses, knowing that Bai Tao was not joking, she was really gone, and this maid was very rare. When the housekeeper in the house hasn't come back yet, everything has to wait for Bai Tao to make an idea!
If there is a person who can understand a qiΔ at this time, it must not be difficult to see that not only is Mo Ye chaotic because he cares about his master's relics, but also because Bai Tao at this time is also because he cares about a Ruan Luo, and he will soon be in a state of turmoil?
Bai Tao's maid stood at the door of the house and hesitated for a long time, until she saw that Bai Tao's figure had disappeared into the street to turn around, she was about to turn around and go back to the house, at this moment, she suddenly saw the small bottle lying on the bluestone road.
Perhaps there is a providence in the dark, and the place where Mo Ye lost the small bottle is almost at the entrance of the house. Although the small bottle was intentionally left by Bai Tao, because she cared about Ruan Luo, when she went out, it was in this position that she also left the small bottle.
When the bottle was picked up by an ordinary maid in the house, her first thought was to return it. Because she wasn't sure who left the bottle, the maid was going to hand over the bottle to Bai Tao, who was temporarily in charge of the house, but because Bai Tao had just left, the maid thought about it and was ready to hand it over to Mo Ye, who seemed to be very close to Bai Tao.
Going around and around, the bottle finally had to be returned to Mo Ye's hands.
It's just that when the maid asked a few servants and found Mo Ye's location, she walked to the bathing room, but saw that the door was open, where was Mo Ye's figure inside?
Mo Ye reached out and touched her body, took off her clothes and shook it repeatedly, but she still didn't find the small bottle, where was she still in the mood to take a bath at this time?
However, after "peeling" herself, she jumped into the wide and deep tub, but instead of slowly rubbing her skin with her fingers, she held her head, frowned, took a deep breath, and then sinked sharply under the hot water.
At this time, only the feeling of suffocation can make her calm down a little.
By the time she came out from under the hot water, she wasn't as agitated as she had been, but it was because she had found a new reason to convince herself.
Wrapped casually in a piece of clothing on her body, no matter how thin it was, and her hair was still dripping, Mo Ye ran out of the bathing room, looking for it along the path she could think of and had just walked.
So, when the maid who had picked up the small bottle and came to the bathing room, she saw the door wide open, and the empty room was full of water stains.
Fortunately, the water stains in one place slightly reflected some of Mo Ye's footprints, so that the maid looked for Mo Ye's footprints again, and under the condition that the general direction was not wrong, the two were lucky to meet.
Mo Ye took back the small bottle, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only then did he feel the coldness on his body, although he was shivering, his face was full of joy.
The maid had one less memory in her heart, and her spirit was relieved, but she came to return the bottle, with the intention of asking Mo Ye to help transfer the bottle to Bai Tao, but at this time, as long as the brain was not broken, anyone could see that the owner of the bottle was Mo Ye.
To the maid, it seemed too coincidental.
Therefore, when the maid was leaving, she couldn't help but ask: "Miss Mo, this bottle is actually your thing?" β
Mo Ye nodded instinctively at first, and after a while, she suddenly came back to her senses, and for a while, all kinds of thoughts in her mind were intricately intertwined, and for a moment there was a mess.
Seeing that Mo Ye only nodded and didn't speak, the maid hesitated for a moment before saying, "I originally thought it was Sister Bai's, so I came to Miss Mo and hoped that you would help me transfer it." Now that the thing is returned to its original owner, it can save a trip. β
The maid said casually, the first time she heard this, there was no problem. However, Mo Ye's lost and found property, once her spirit relaxed, her mind would become much sharper when her mind was calm, and she immediately realized that there was something wrong with this girl's words.
Mo Ye originally wanted to ask her, "How do you know that this bottle is a white peach?" But when the sentence was about to reach her lips, she suddenly changed her words.
After thinking for a moment, she raised her eyes to look at the maid again, her mind had completely calmed down, and a smile appeared on her face: "Sister Bai Tao, is there something delayed, you didn't look for her directly?" β
As soon as she mentioned this, the maid's face showed a sad expression: "Sister Bai went out on the front foot, and I picked up this bottle as soon as I turned around, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up if I want to return it to her." I'm afraid that this bottle will be forgotten if I put it there, because it seems that Sister Bai will go out for a long time, so I came to ask Miss Mo for help. β
Mo Ye's heart moved, she was about to open her mouth and ask the maid again, "You watched this bottle fall by the white peach?" However, when she was about to say this, she changed her words again, and her tone was only like a casual question: "Have you been out for a long time?" Is there anything important for her to do? β
"Uh......" The maid suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was because she mentioned it too much that Bai Tao would rush to Ye's house, so she hesitated for a while before replying to Mo Ye.
"Sister Bai Tao seems to have gone to Ye Mansion. The groom who was driving the car just now came back, saying that the young master was still in Yefu, and he only told Sister Bai Tao about the specific reason, although I don't know the details, but I can see that Sister Bai Tao is very worried......"
"What?"
Without waiting for the maid to finish speaking, Mo Ye felt a burst of surprise again, and a trace of sorrow gradually appeared in his heart, and what happened in the early morning resurfaced in front of him.
Combining these fragmented incidents, as well as the causal relationship that they may have, Mo Ye suddenly felt that the chill on the outer layer of his skin seemed to have penetrated into his heart.
But she quickly shook her head again and admonished herself to calm down.
Maybe Bai Tao is there a reason for the incident, maybe he is too worried about Ruan Luo, or maybe Ruan Luo asked Yang Chen to bring her something important and arrange something important, right?
-- What should be the explanation for the fact that it was just a bottle?
I came back from outside, and then waited for the hot water to be ready for bathing, and I didn't go anywhere halfway, if the bottle was lost at the gate, no one else would find it, and it was held until just now, before it was picked up by the girl in front of me.
There may be only one reason, that is, Bai Tao first picked up the bottle she left behind, and then she was left by herself a second time.
But Mo Ye couldn't believe this fact, if a small bottle was lost and regained, and all the twists and turns experienced in the middle were true, then Bai Tao was a person...... Because of her behavior of picking up the bottle and not returning it, her image was shaken for the first time in Mo Ye's heart.
β¦β¦
If what Mo Ye lost today was just an ordinary bottle of spices, it might not have touched her nerves to be sensitive to this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, but this bottle is different! However, if she hadn't left behind such a strange small bottle, perhaps Bai Tao would not have bothered to hide it.
Or...... If Bai Tao hadn't been too anxious to worry about Ruan Luo, she wouldn't have missed this omission.
Is there really such a thing as providence?
β¦β¦
Seeing that Mo Ye had learned that Ruan Luo had not returned, the expression on his face was somewhat similar to the white peach just now, and the maid who came to return the bottle only thought that Mo Ye was also worried about Ruan Luo, not only did not suspect anything, but also spoke out a few words of comfort.
From the words of this maid's persuasion, Mo Ye understood that this maid had misinterpreted her meaning, but she didn't defend a word, and she accepted it all, because she wanted others to misinterpret her mood at this time, and she was ready to hide the suspicion of Bai Tao that appeared in her heart just now.
After separating from the maid, Mo Ye first went back to his room, thought for a long time, and first hid the small bottle in the pillow core.
When she changed her dress up in the morning, Mo Ye left her two booklets empty in the room, so the rain on the beach did not affect them. But by this time, she had already realized that her bedroom had become very unsafe.
She suddenly remembered Wu Shu's words, although she was a little reluctant, but she quickly made a decision, waiting until tomorrow, she would definitely find an opportunity to move the two booklets out, and if she couldn't hide them, she would destroy them on the spot.
As for the small bottles...... Mo Ye sat in silence in the room and thought for a long time, and when she glanced at it, she saw the splendid purse that was also embroidered a little crookedly when she changed out of her daughter's clothes in the morning--it was the self-defense potion bag that Ye Nuonuo gave her--she suddenly had a fixed mind......
