Chapter 12: The Pendant

When I got up early in the morning, the fog had not gone away, and Dongmei and Mulberry Branch were talking in the outer room.

β€œβ€¦ Jixiang and Ruyi don't know who it is, they said that they were sent by the fourth lady, but they listened to the two of them talk yesterday, but they didn't look like it, but I asked Cuilian more yesterday. Dongmei said in a low voice.

"What did she say?" Sang Zhi glanced at the west room, and said: "Our lady has just returned to the house, and it is the eldest lady who takes care of the house, even if it is the wheel, it is not the turn of the fourth lady, but unfortunately our lady is a difficult character, otherwise, with our second master, it is not our lady's face." ”

"Alas, that's also something that can't be helped, let's talk about auspiciousness first, although she used to work in front of the fourth lady, but her mother-in-law was in Jinxin Courtyard as a second-class housekeeper. Ruyi is a child born in the family, and her mother is working in the old lady's yard. This time, the fourth lady will be a person, and directly throw these two hot taro to our second room. ”

"Ahem! What do you two girls say? Mama Fang suddenly spoke, startling Dongmei and Mulberry Branch.

But seeing that it was Mama Fang, the two greeted them with a smile, and Dongmei whispered to Mama Fang: "Mama is here, the girl hasn't gotten up yet, thinking about a tired day yesterday, let the girl squint again." ”

"You two!" Mama Fang stepped out and lightly tapped the foreheads of the two: "Don't talk about these trivial things in the girl's place in the future, disturb the girl's heart." ”

Dongmei Sangzhi nodded stupidly, saw Mama Fang clasped her hands, and said, "Wait for the girl to get up, don't dare to miss the time to say goodbye to the old lady." ”

In the western room, as early as when Dongmei and Sang Zhi were talking, Shen Rong woke up.

In the past few days, she has slept lightly, and when she fell asleep, it was the bright Dongling jade silk golden hairpin, especially when she saw Zhou Shimin yesterday. Thinking of the future, her heart was like being crushed by a knife, and the pain was unbearable.

Dongmei lifted the pearl and jade curtain, entered the west room, saw Shen Rong half-sitting, her heart jumped, and she looked at Sang Zhi, and she didn't know how much Shen Rong listened to what she said with Sang Zhi.

Just thinking about it, a tender crisp voice came: "Fang Cai seems to have heard Mama Fang's voice, she is coming?" ”

When Dongmei heard this, she knew that it was when Mama Fang came, and the girl woke up, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for Shen Rong to dress and get off the kang: "Mama Fang came over just now to let the slave maid wait for the girl to get up, saying that she didn't dare to delay the time to say goodbye to the old lady." ”

At this time, the auspicious person outside also entered the house with a copper basin, she was wearing a blue-green bikin, combed a double bun, the whole person was clean and delicate, she came to serve Shen Rongjing's face.

Sang Zhi saw her come in and took the copper basin in her hand: "Leave it to me here, you go to the outer room and open the windows on both sides to ventilate." ”

Jixiang nodded, I heard that the third girl had a bad temper, and came to serve the third girl, she was also afraid of accidents, and there was a beautiful thing that she could not work, so why not do it, so she went out of the west room.

sent Jixiang out, and Dongmei Fang told Shen Rong about going to Cuilian yesterday.

"Old Lady Qi did mention the marriage of Young Master Qi, and it seems that she intends to marry the Shen family. Among the girls of the Shen family, it is the second girl. However, Guo Cuilian replied according to the girl's meaning, and the old man didn't know what was wrong, and his face was heavy and afraid. ”

Of course, Shen Pingcheng is not stupid, otherwise he would not have today's status, he can understand one or two of them if he thinks about it carefully.

When she arrived at the outer courtyard, she saw Mama Fang and several maids standing under the eaves, and saw Mama Li who was waiting on the side, so she knew that it was Shen Lan talking to her mother in the house.

Seeing her walk over, Mama Fang was embarrassed, and she stopped Shen Rong embarrassedly: "Girl, Mrs. and the second girl ......."

Mama Li's heart was already blooming at this time, so she was looking forward to Shen Rong coming over, she looked at Shen Rong carefully, and when she got angry and went into the house, she saw Shen Rong actually stop.

"Well, it's okay, I'll wait here for a while." Shen Rongying smiled, saw the figure coming out of the room on the east side, looked at it, smiled again, and said to Mama Fang: "Hey, the third brother is out, Mama, I'll go talk to the third brother." ”

She walked over briskly, Shen Huo was half a head taller than her, he was lowering his head and folding the dark green carved silk cuffs, and his heart was thinking about yesterday's events, and the servant girl who was waiting behind her bowed her head and said, "Third master, the third girl is here." ”

Shen Huo suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes lit up, and he grinned and beckoned to Shen Rong in the distance: "Ah Rong, come here, I just happened to have something to tell you." ”

When Shen Rong got closer, he leaned over and whispered, "Those things that the second uncle gave you are not yet." ”

Shen Rong glanced at him, a little puzzled: "You just tell me this?" ”

Shen Huo and her have played since childhood, although Shen Huo is a stubborn character, but the brain is good, in Longping 31 years to understand the Yuan, and then in Beijing to serve as a large civil official.

"Of course not, the Qi family kid doesn't know where to get a pendant with white marble inlaid red coral beads, I heard that it came from Prince Ying's mansion, good sister, you don't care, just tell Brother SΓΉ, did you bring anything from your second uncle." If it weren't for the rush this time, all his own things would have fallen in White Horse City, and he wouldn't have been in the limelight of the Qi family kid yesterday.

A pendant with white marble inlaid with red coral beads? Shen Rong was stunned, wasn't that a letter from Tongsheng Qianzhuang?

No, now it's just an ordinary pendant, and in two years, Prince Ying will order that anyone with a white marble inlaid red coral bead pendant can get silver in Tongsheng Qianzhuang, and this pendant has a total of three pieces, one for the prince, one for the second son of Xie, one for the lord of Yunluo, and I don't know who is in the hands of Qi Yuebei.

Her eyes widened: "Brother, is it really a white marble inlaid red coral bead pendant?" ”

"I can still bluff you, I made a bet with the Qi family boy, if I can take out the red jade pendant, he will have to lose the pendant to me, I remember that the second uncle gave you this, give it to my brother!" Shen Huo came to Shen Rong, his narrow eyes glowing with a little excitement.

Zhao Huaiji looted a lot of treasures outside the gate, even in the palace, he may not have seen them. He didn't care much about these things, and every time he saw her, he had to stuff her with a few treasures, and in a few years, she had saved a small box of treasures.

She thought about it: "The red jade pendant is a treasure and is worth a lot of money, so if you get the pendant back, the pendant will be mine." ”

"What? Good sister, you are a pit brother! Shen Huo said.

"I am a brother and sister who settle accounts and exchange the red jade pendant for the red jade drop, and the pendant is naturally mine. It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to use it, you take it and play it first, and when you've played enough, then give it to me, my idea is a success. She blinked, and said shyly.
