Chapter 199: Hard Work
An Rong's face was cloudy when he heard it, and his whole body trembled non-stop.
Peony stood aside, a little trembling, the second wife usually laughed with the third wife, and the concubine was very affectionate, but she didn't expect that when there was no one around, she would be like this, and her heart was too ruthless, she actually cursed the old lady to fall to death, and resented the third wife's life. Not burned to death by fire.
The fire in Xiyuan couldn't have been set by her, right?
Peony felt that it was very likely, as soon as the third wife burned to death, the old lady was grief-stricken, and her body would definitely turn sharply, and the housekeeper would definitely ...... That's also handed over to the girl, could it be that the next one she wants to hurt is the girl?
An Rong clenched his fists and creaked his teeth.
She wants the stewardship of the Hou Mansion, as long as she lives, she is delusional in this life!
An Rong, who was hiding behind the rockery, wanted to rush out regardless of it, and confronted the second wife, letting her know that she had heard all the words just now.
Before An Rong could go out, a little maid came over there and told the second wife, "Second wife, the fourth lady sent you a letter, saying that she will come back in three or five days." ”
The corners of the second wife's mouth curled into a smile, "I came back so soon, I thought it would take seven or eight days." ”
The little maid sent the letter, and the second wife couldn't wait to open it.
After sweeping her eyes, the second wife frowned.
The maid on the side asked, "What's wrong with my wife?" ”
The second wife folded the letter and said, "What else can I do, isn't it just to ask how the Hou Mansion is doing, and then ask if there are any good vacancies in the imperial court, and she doesn't want to let it out." ”
The maid frowned and said, "But I'll be back in three or five days, there are so many things in the house, how can I say it clearly, I can't wait?" ”
The maid was worried that it would be too cold, she would write too many words, and the second wife would freeze.
The second wife glanced at the maid and scolded with a smile, "What do you know, there are so many officials outside, do you know why the road is so far, do you have to come back, it is said that it is for filial piety, family reunion, but there are a few who are really filial, not all have a plan, the court advocates filial piety to govern the country, brothers, friends and brothers, the old lady also likes, the more obedient and obedient, the more Hou Ye will spare no effort to help him, inquire clearly, only to know that in the past year, the old lady's preferences have changed, this is to do what she likes." ”
The maid nodded as if she didn't understand, and patted her ass, "I don't know what gifts the fourth wife brought back this time, last year's mink cloak is very beautiful, and it is much better for you than for the old lady, but it's a pity that ......." ”
The two of them walked farther and farther away, and their voices gradually weakened.
When they walked away, Peony pouted and said, "Didn't the second wife's mink cloak be given by her mother's family, how did the fourth wife give it?" ”
An Rong snorted coldly.
She remembered the Lantern Festival at the beginning of this year, when everyone went to play on the street together, and the second wife wore a mink cloak, the smooth and supple fur, I don't know how many people were envious.
The second wife said that it was sent by her mother's family.
The second wife's maiden family would give her a mink cloak like that, who would believe it?
Everyone knows that the second wife is making excuses, and if it is inconvenient to say something, they all go to their parents' house and go to the marriage.
No one is going to get to the bottom of it.
An Rong thought that someone had asked for the second master, but he didn't expect it to be sent by the fourth wife.
It's a pity that the mink cloak was worn to the lantern festival, and I don't know when it splashed the spark and burned a big hole, she still remembers the crazy look of the second wife at that time.
Since then, the mink cloak has not been worn by the second wife.
Thinking that Mrs. Four will come back in a few days, An Rong has a little headache, Mrs. Four is the kind of character who seems to be gentle and speaks softly, but speaks to the point and does not use a knife to kill.
In the previous life, the second master inherited her father's title, and the big room was not divided, but the other rooms were divided, of which the fourth room received the most things, and in the court, the second master also helped the fourth master a lot.
I didn't expect that in private, the relationship between the second wife and the fourth wife would be so good.
"When the fourth lady returns, the old lady may hand over the housekeeping to her," Peony sighed lightly.
An Rong hooked his lips and smiled.
Now she has a pivotal position in the hearts of her grandmother and father, and her grandmother and father will listen to whatever she says, and they will not think she is messing around like in her previous life.
In this life, stewardship can only be placed in the hands of people she can trust.
If she could, she didn't want to stay in Kyoto.
An Rong walked back to Linglong Garden, and when he turned around, Peony Yao told the old lady what the second wife said.
An Rong glanced at her fiercely.
Peony didn't dare to say anything again, she forgot that the old lady must not be angry.
Those who are not filial and do not stop will have no scruples, but the four girls are in mind.
As soon as she stepped into Linglong Garden, An Rong smelled a fragrance, and she took a deep sniff.
"What kind of soup is this, so fragrant?" An Rongxiao asked.
Mother Yu came over with a tray and said with a smile, "It's the pigeon soup that the girl was going to drink yesterday, with cordyceps sinensis." ”
Peony was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Mother Yu, you won't really stew Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu, right?" ”
Mother Yu pulled her face and frowned, "What the girl ordered, those who are slaves and maids must do it, what's really not true?" ”
Peony looked at the soup cup with tears in her eyes.
Such a cute little seven and little nine, why did they give stewed soup.
Their master saved the life of the third wife, but the girl ate other people's pigeons, so ruthless!
Peony wiped the corners of her eyes, pitiful for Xuetuan, without Xiao Qi Xiaojiu, it will be lonely in the future.
Seeing Peony like that, Mother Yu glared at her fiercely, and handed it to Peony with one free hand, "This is the silver chain around Xiao Jiu's neck, you take it and wash it." ”
Seeing the familiar silver chain, he couldn't even look at An Rong, and his heart ached.
"Bury it," he said, and An Rong stepped upstairs.
Peony glanced at Yu's mother sadly, why is she so obedient, no one knows how Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu offended the girl......
Thinking of this, Peony's eyes lit up.
Yesterday, the master of Xiaoqi Xiaojiu saved the third wife, obviously came to the Hou Mansion, otherwise how could he save the third wife?
She slept deeply, and the girl cried before she knew, she wondered, the girl was not even afraid of ghosts, how could she cry because of the Kwai Shui, it must be because of Young Master Xun!
Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu were implicated by their master.
But what happened to Young Master Xun, the girl would cry angrily, wouldn't it be teasing her girl?
The more Peony wanted to open her eyes, the more she could finally stuff a salted duck egg.
She may be really, really!
Ordinary things can't make her girl cry at all, dare to tease her girl, then the pigeon should not be stewed, it should be boiled!
Peony scolded fiercely in the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu struck a spirit, and almost didn't fall off Xiao Zhan's hand.
Xiao Zhan looked at the note in his hand, his brows furrowed.
If you look closely, you can also find that the roots of his ears are red, like blood jade.
The letter paper reads: My girl is going to stew Xiaoqi Xiaojiu, don't let them come again in the future.
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu hovering in the air, his brows furrowed.
He just went to deliver the flower note, and asked about the bean sprouts by the way, who knew she would ......
The original flower note, he planned to send it in the name of the local tyrant again, who wanted to secretly guard just went out, and was bombarded back by his grandfather, and the gift must be sent in person.
He was 'forced to be helpless' to go to Linglong Garden late at night, and now it's okay, Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu were almost stewed and drank soup.
Xiao Zhan was very melancholy.
Is he going to change his clothes and mask again and get to know her again?
But what about the sprouts?
Xiao Zhan was worried when he heard someone calling him behind him.
"Brother Xun!" Shen Anmin exclaimed.
Xiao Zhan turned around, and Shen Anmin hurriedly stepped forward, with a look of joy on his face.
"I was going to look for you in the east of the city, but I didn't expect to meet you in the middle of the road," Shen Anmin said excitedly, and then said, "Thank you Brother Xun for saving my mother's life." ”
"It's a gesture," Xiao Zhan nodded.
Shen Anmin scratched his forehead lightly, smiling with a grateful face, "Brother Xun's efforts are a great kindness to the younger brother. ”
Xiao Zhan didn't speak.
Shen Anmin was entangled for a moment, but still opened his mouth and asked, "There was a fire in Xiyuan last night, why is Brother Xun in the Hou Mansion?" ”
After speaking, he hurriedly added, "I'm not suspicious of Brother Xun, I'm just a little curious." ”
Under the snow-blue mask, a flushed face was hidden.
"Passing by."
The voice was mellow and light as a veil, as if the wind blew and dissipated.
But Shen Anmin heard it, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The West Garden is in the Hou Mansion, passing by the Hou Mansion, isn't it a cornice walking wall?
...... of the Big Night
It's still wearing a mask, how easy it is to make people think crookedly.
Shen Anmin faked a cough, looked at Xiao Zhan cautiously, and asked, "Brother Xun, when you passed by Xiyuan, did you find the arsonist?" ”
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, to say that he was only suspicious before, but after last night, he could be sure that there was a secret passage in the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
Xiao Zhan looked at Shen Anmin, and asked with deep eyebrows, "How much do you know about the Wu'an Hou Mansion?" ”
Shen Anmin looked at Xiao Zhan, his brows twisted and twisted, this is so strange, he grew up in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an when he was a child, even if he has only been away from Beijing for two and a half years, the biggest change in the Hou Mansion is only the fourth sister, and the others seem to be fine.
When Xiao Zhan saw his questioning look, he knew that he didn't understand his words, "I'm not referring to people, it's the mansion." ”
Shen Anmin was even more confused, what is there to know about the mansion, isn't it just a place to live?
Xiao Zhan pinched the note in his hand into pieces and said, "I will find out about the arson in the Hou Mansion." ”
Shen Anmin, "....... ”
This is the housework of the Hou Mansion, how can Brother Xun check it?
He is not the son-in-law of the Marquis of Wu'an, and he is saving his mother and investigating the case, is it too hard?
Shen Anmin thought of something, and his body was stunned, could it be that Brother Xun's night visit to the Hou Mansion is the Hou Mansion, right?
Why did he check the Hou Mansion, and was there anything wrong with the Hou Mansion?
Shen Anmin was a little worried, and always felt that Brother Xun had an unusual aura on him. R1152
