Chapter 243: Pickpockets
In the early morning, a gentle ray of morning light shines quietly on the side of the bed through the window lattice.
The breeze blows softly, and the sky blue veil embroidered with lilacs makes waves.
There were two soft voices on the bed.
An apology, a cry of pain.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to serve.
Shen Anxi leaned on the big pillow, rubbed his head, and looked at An Rong with a sad face.
An Rong pressed her hair, and she broke four or five of them.
An Rong smiled apologetically and apologized again and again, she really didn't notice, she couldn't help it.
Qiu Ju took the shoes over, and Lu Liu asked with a smile, "Is the injury on the girl's arm healed?" β
Shen Anxi raised his arm and found that it didn't hurt much.
She quickly lifted her sleeves and noticed that the bruises on her arms had faded a lot, and she immediately smiled.
"Fourth sister, your medicine is extremely effective," Shen Anxi said with a smile.
An Rong smiled, "It's effective, but it will take two days to get better." β
Shen Anxi nodded and chuckled, it was much better than yesterday, even if she saw her mother and grandmother, they wouldn't be too annoyed.
The two woke up and were dressed and washed by their respective maids.
After dressing up, it's time to have breakfast.
While eating, there was a sound of rustling footsteps downstairs, a little anxious.
Peony turned her head, and saw Qiu'er walking over, smiling like a flower.
"In such a hurry, what's the matter?" Peony asked.
Qiu'er nodded like pounding garlic, pursed her lips and said without a smile, "Early in the morning, it spread all over the house, saying that there were bursts of screams in the Buddhist hall last night, and a mother-in-law went to take a look in the morning, and found that there were seven or eight mice in the Buddhist hall, and several girls who were punished for kneeling were frightened, and the ninth girl also launched a high fever." β
An Rong's eyes were smiling, and he was silent.
Shen Anxi laughed out loud and said with a puzzled expression, "There are still rats in the Buddha Hall?" β
She shuddered.
She thought of the futon she was punishing and kneeling, and maybe it had been crawled by rats many times, and she felt disgusted when she thought about it.
Qiu Ju was a little puzzled, "Isn't there a mother-in-law in the Buddhist hall to serve, a few girls are yelling, how can they not know?" β
Speaking of this, Qiu'er couldn't help but laugh.
She smiled, "That's the case, a few girls were punished and kneeled in the Buddha Hall, and the second and fourth wives gave a lot of benefits to the mother-in-law who guarded the Buddha Hall, in order to let them see the silver, open their eyes and close their eyes, so that the girls could suffer less, and the mother-in-law got the benefits, and her heart was happy, so she ate a few more glasses of wine and fell asleep dizzily." β
Not only did I sleep, but I slept very deeply.
Ren is how many girls are called in the house, I just don't know.
The place in the Buddha Hall is very remote, and the crying can't be heard, and the maids who are close to it also know that they are crying, but they don't care much.
How painful it is to kneel, it's normal to cry a few times if you can't bear it, in the middle of the night, who is in the mood to watch them cry? After a hard day, of course, sleep is more important.
Dongmei wondered even more, "There are mice in the house, why don't the girls run out?" β
Qiu'er scratched her forehead, she didn't know, "It seems that the door of the Buddhist hall is locked?" β
Shen Anxi looked at An Rong, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.
The Buddha hall has a mother-in-law who cleans it every day, and when she goes in, she looks very clean, and there are no cobwebs.
And how could the door of the Buddha hall be locked, who would dare to lock it?
A person suddenly flashed in Shen Anxi's mind.
It can't be him, right?
He used rats to scare the fourth sister, and the matter of the Buddha Hall looked like a prank he had just done.
It is said that the Hou Shizi of Jingbei was shot while lying down like this, and carried the black pot for others.
Shen Anxi didn't speak, anyway, this matter was in her arms, and she had to thank the prince of Jingbei.
Peony is also very happy, the secret guard is really energetic, and he does a beautiful job!
Shen Anxi was anxious to go to Songhe Courtyard to see the excitement, and urged An Rong to finish eating quickly.
Several wives bought the mother-in-law who guarded the Buddha Hall, and as a result, such a thing happened, and it was impossible not to alarm the old lady.
When they arrived at Songheyuan, the old lady was angry.
The second wife and the fourth wife knelt on the ground, crying very sadly.
In front of them was the old lady's teacup that she threw in anger.
The punishment of kneeling was an order given by the old lady, and they dared to buy the mother-in-law, so that they could be more relaxed, not kneeling in the Buddhist hall, but sitting there chatting!
Ignoring her commands, this is not taking her seriously.
Especially the fourth wife cried and said that Shen Anqian was thin and couldn't stand that kneeling.
The more the old lady listened, the more angry she became, and finally slapped the table and said, "They are delicate and can't endure hardship, you can eat, you can't see your daughter distressed, you can't sleep at night, okay, I will fulfill you today!" β
The second wife and the fourth wife were shocked.
Before she could react, the old lady said, "Come on, send the second and fourth wives to the Buddha Hall, and kneel until a few girls come out!" β
An Rong and Shen Anxi, who were standing at the screen, were happy, covering their mouths tightly, for fear of laughing out loud.
The bowels of the two ladies were blue with regret, and no matter how much they pleaded, the old lady would not let go.
After the mother-in-law invited the two wives away, Shen Anxi couldn't help but push An Rong and said, "I don't know if the prince of Jingbei will come today?" β
An Rong sighed slightly.
Shen Anxi winked at her, whispered to An Rong in her ear, and An Rong's eyes widened more and more.
Because Shen Anxi had a bad idea.
Shen Anxi felt that it was not enough for Shen Anfu and them to be frightened, and the two wives should also be frightened.
An Rong was a little hesitant, she was afraid that it would be too much.
A few wives are no better fooled than Shen Anfu, and there are rats in the Buddhist hall, and there must be many mothers-in-law today who specialize in finding mouse nests, or putting mouse traps in the Buddhist hall.
The rat trick didn't work.
However, there are other small animals besides mice.
An Rong's eyes flashed with a twinkle.
Outside, Xia He stepped in and saw An Rong and Shen Anxi talking, she blessed her body slightly, and then walked in to greet the old lady.
"Old lady, the ninth girl has seen the doctor, and the doctor said that she has taken medicine, and the fever will go away after sleeping," Xia He said.
The old lady waved her hand, and Xia He stepped aside.
An Rong and Shen Anxi went into the house to greet the old lady.
The old lady looked at Shen Anxi's face, and Mother Sun asked, "The sixth girl has been kneeling for two hours, and her knees still hurt?" β
Originally, the old lady wanted to ask, but she was the one who punished Shen Anxi, and it was not appropriate to care about it at this time.
Shen Anxi knew that the old lady didn't really want to punish her, but she was really wrong in the fight.
"It's out of the way," Shen Anxi replied, and then smiled again, "Grandmother, the ninth sister is dizzy, and she can't be punished for kneeling anymore, she still has two hours left." β
Shen Anxi was not happy that Shen Anshu would escape punishment, when she was in the Buddhist hall, she was punished for kneeling.
It must have been Qiuhe and they went back, and they began to be lazy.
The old lady fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "When her body recovers, let her make up for what she owes." β
Shen Anxi was satisfied, and chatted with An Rong with the old lady.
Outside, Qifu rushed in, twisted his eyebrows and asked Shen Anxi, "Sixth girl, the second young master asked you, the wine shop is open today, you still can't go, the wine shop will open in half an hour, if you don't rush to go, you will miss the auspicious time, so I won't wait for you." β
Shen Anxi slapped his head and exclaimed, "How did I forget about such a big thing?!" β
After speaking, he hurriedly stood up, looking like he wanted to cry without tears.
Pulling An Rong to give the old lady a blessing and said, "Grandmother, the wine shop is open today, I told my second brother that I will go to see the wine shop open with my fourth sister, and I forgot about it yesterday ...... I was punished." β
Originally, Shen Anxi remembered what she said to An Rong, but Shen Anfu and they were all there yesterday, if she said this, she would definitely have to go with her when the time came, so she was not happy to be with them, so she planned to tell An Rong secretly, and then she fought and knelt, and she was in a bad mood, and she didn't remember it.
Shen Anxi turned her head and glared at Lu Liu, she forgot jì, did she forget jì too?
Luliu is very innocent, she thought that Shen Anxi had already sued SΓΉ Anrong, who would have thought that she hadn't said it?
She thought that Shen Anxi's knee hurt and she wouldn't go.
The old lady shook her head helplessly, waved her hand, and let Xia He follow, and let An Rong and Shen Anxi go out.
Shen Anxi pulled An Rong to walk a little faster, An Rong looked at her knees several times, quite helpless, "Sixth sister, walk so fast, don't your knees hurt?" β
Shen Anxi shook his head and said in a hurry, "The second brother said that the winery is open on Dong'an Street, and it will take two quarters of an hour for him to go on horseback. β
At the door, the carriage was ready.
The two hurriedly got into the carriage and went straight to Dong'an Street.
Along the way, Shen Anxi urged the carriage to hurry up more than once, but that's it, and by the time they arrived, the winery was almost open.
Firecrackers crackled, and the lion danced at the door to the joy.
A lot of people gathered at the entrance of the winery, clapping vigorously.
After Shen Anxi and An Rong got out of the carriage, they were about to squeeze to the winery, okay, they met a pickpocket.
The more lively and crowded the place, the more convenient it is for thieves to steal.
Tearing off the jade purse around his waist, he didn't notice it at all.
But this thief was more unlucky, and as soon as he tore off the Pisces pendant on An Rong's waist, he was grabbed by a pair of bony hands.
The man's hand was easy to hold, but cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the painful little guy.
In addition to the little guy, there is another person who broke out in a cold sweat and blushed with embarrassment, and that was An Rong.
Xiao Zhan was so close to her that she felt a little difficult to breathe.
This damn thief actually stole from her!
An Rong couldn't wait to kick the thief's feet.
Shen Anxi stood aside and found that the jade purse around her waist had already been stolen, and her face was redder than An Rong's.
But she didn't care about the thief, she was secretly looking at Xiao Zhan.
This person is wearing a mask, wearing a dark blue brocade robe, with a black jade crown on his head, and he has a breath of inaccessible to the living.
This temperament is dressed, it seems to be the young master Xiao Biao that the second brother said?
The thief begged for mercy in pain, and offered the stolen things with both hands.
As soon as Xiao Zhan pulled his hand, the thief staggered to the left and fell to the ground on all fours, and he cried out in pain.
Don't dare to delay any longer, the thief gets up and runs for his life.
It's a pity that after walking a few steps, he was caught by the officers and soldiers who came over, just kidding, I met Young Master Xiao Biao beating someone on the street, this person definitely has a problem.
"Take it away!" The leader commanded.
An Rongfu thanked Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was in a very bad mood, because he just glanced at him, and then he didn't dare to raise his head.
"I have something to look for you," Xiao Zhan said.
After speaking, Xiao Zhan turned around. R1152
