Chapter 145: Weird
Zheng Xiuer greeted her friends with lunch, and the maid who was waiting for her soon served new tea to the young ladies, and a few people just said a few words, and before they finished drinking a cup of tea, a beautiful maid wearing a red jacket came in outside the door.
She asked for peace with a smile on her face, "The maid is ordered by our wife to invite Miss Cui Jiu to sit in her room, if Miss Nine is cheap, let's go over." ”
Cui Wanqing said goodbye to her friend, took Yingqiao, and followed the maid named Xiaoyue in front of her, walking slowly, but the more she walked, the more bottomless her heart became.
This maid actually took her out of Jingxin Garden, looking at this direction and environment, it was going to the backyard, and it was still more and more secluded, almost under the root of the mountain, and even a person who came and went couldn't see it.
This kind of quiet and desolate place can't be Mrs. Zheng's bedroom at all!
Yingqiao helped her own young lady, her heart was up and down, nervous, she only knew five or six points about the things involved between Mrs. Zheng and Cui Wanqing, but it was this half-understood mentality that made her even more afraid.
No, she was holding Cui Wanqing's hand, and she unconsciously used her strength.
She whispered in Cui Wanqing's ear and asked: "Good miss, how can the maid feel that this is wrong, you see that this is getting more and more secluded, and you can't even see a person's shadow, should this be?" ”
Cui Wanqing was actually quite apprehensive in her heart, she felt Yingqiao's fear, and she could clearly feel it from the strength of this girl's hand holding her arm tightly.
Cui Wanqing exhaled softly, wanting to whisper a few words to appease Yingqiao, so as not to let the child panic and not know how to deal with it.
It's just that before she could speak, she heard a voice in front of her, "Miss Jiu, don't worry, my wife wants to ask you to talk in the backyard wing, where there are few clean people, and there are mountains behind it, so it's safe, and it's much cheaper to talk." ”
Xiaoyue didn't even look back, she led the way in front of herself, and explained so lightly, so she could be regarded as calming the hearts of the master and servant.
Cui Wanqing is not afraid, she is afraid that Mrs. Zheng will be coerced and forced to join forces with the people behind the scenes.
She couldn't help but secretly regret in her heart, she was too big today, and she completely forgot about it, she was not the mistress of the good king's mansion now, and there were people who were protected by the guards and secret servants in her actions.
At present, Cui Wanqing, who is young and single, has no power to tie the chicken, not to mention, even if he follows the Yingqiao who is serving, he has grown up pampered since he was a child, even if the master and servant are added together, whose opponent is there?
Cui Wanqing secretly made up her mind in her heart, if she can get out of the Zheng family's gate smoothly today, she will go home and ask the third brother to buy her a few martial arts maids, and she can't be so contemptuous of people and don't take her life seriously.
Xiaoyue's footsteps are always neither fast nor slow, she has been extremely calm all the way, and she has not been affected by anyone at all, Cui Wanqing feels that this woman and Yulan have a fight, it seems that Mrs. Zheng, who can train such a maid single-handedly, will definitely not be an incompetent person.
The three of them finally stopped at the gate of a very inconspicuous courtyard, looking at the dilapidated stone wall in front of them, as well as the mottled moss on the stone wall, Cui Wanqing felt that where was this to ask herself to talk? Isn't it just asking yourself to be interrogated in a dungeon?
I saw Xiaoyue stretch out her hand to push the door open, turned around and smiled: "Miss Nine, please come in, Sister Yingqiao might as well take a look at the scenery here with my sister, right?" ”
Although this is the tone of inquiry, it is actually unquestionable, and only Cui Wanqing is allowed to enter the courtyard alone.
Cui Wanqing will take this risk there, you know, this yard is full of unknowns, how could she walk in recklessly before she knows what will happen?
She was waiting to leave with Yingqiao, whether she asked about the old things of the year was very important, but her own life and life were more important, right?
If something happens to you in the garden, I'm afraid that you will have a bad reputation when you die!
Just when Cui Wanqing wanted to leave, her eyes inadvertently saw the corner of the courtyard behind Xiaoyue, just such a glance, which made her dispel the idea of turning around and leaving.
She gently patted Yingqiao and grabbed her hand, and said softly: "I will call you if I have something, you are here to accompany Sister Xiaoyue to talk." ”
Yingqiao looked at the master's eyes very calmly, there was no hint or anything like that, this was determined to go in for a walk, she knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she lost her hand unwillingly.
But he still couldn't help but tell with concern on his face: "If you have something, you can call the servant, and the servant will be guarding the door and will not go anywhere." ”
Cui Wanqing looked at Yingqiao's eyes full of concern, her heart warmed, she didn't seem to be so worried, she nodded to Yingqiao and Xiaoyue with a smile, lifted her skirt slightly with her hand, and walked forward carefully on this moss-covered bluestone road.
Cui Wanqing stepped into the courtyard gate, and when she looked around like this, the surprise in her heart was even heavier, this courtyard looked extremely dilapidated outside the door, but who would have thought that the scenery in the courtyard was so beautiful?
Strictly speaking, this courtyard is really not big, there are only three main rooms, two side rooms on the left and right, and the courtyard in the middle is about less than 100 steps.
But the whole yard is full of life, almost a little open space, and there are just the right flowers in bloom in season, what cyclamen, begonias, purple jasmine, a bunch of red, all of which are extremely spiritual.
Cui Wanqing felt that as if she could think of it, the flowers that bloomed in late autumn and early winter were all here.
In the meantime, the largest part of the sea of flowers is all kinds of autumn chrysanthemums, desk chrysanthemums, marigolds, dahlias, a wide variety of types, and the blooming is purple and red, which really makes Cui Wanqing have an illusion that she is not in a desolate and remote backyard now, but in the retreat of a worldly master.
Cui Wanqing saw a small corner of this scene through Xiaoyue just now, and it was this special small corner that made her firm in the idea of walking in.
The weird and abnormal lifestyle in her previous life made Cui Wanqing have a unique personality in her heart, that is, she dares to take risks.
Thinking of his previous life, almost every adventure was using his life as a bargaining chip, and of course, the result of every adventure also won greater benefits for Cui Wanqing.
At this moment, her hidden perverted personality struggled again, and climbed out regardless of it, not caring about lifting the dark purple orangutan felt cotton curtain in front of her, what she was about to face, Cui Wanqing decided, "This one, I, Cui Wanqing bet!" ”
Cui Wanqing lifted the door curtain with a lot of energy, and cautiously stepped into the main room, but saw that the layout of this room was one bright and two dark, and the windows in the room were bright and clean, clean and abnormal, but there was no one to serve.
Among them, the bright room is a small living room for guests, and the furniture placed in it is all the patterns of high-quality mahogany carved orchids.
On the multi-treasure grid on the left wall, there are more than a dozen ornaments for appreciation, Cui Wanqing glanced over, but found that these ornaments of different sizes and textures are all kinds of wishful thinking.
There are wood carving Ruyi, jade Ruyi, gold inlaid white jade Ruyi, ivory Ruyi, almost Cui Wanqing can think of the materials for carving Ruyi, all of them are here.
"Bao Sui Lan plus so many wishes, but they are all to keep peace, the meaning of wishful thinking, is it that the people living in this house are dying? It's not right, there is no smell of medicine in this room, but there is a smell of flowers, which is not like a place where patients live" Cui Wanqing observed carefully while secretly speculating in her heart.
"But Qing'er is here? I'm in the west of the room, so walk in by yourself. I heard Mrs. Zheng speak at this time, and her tone of voice was calm, and Cui Wanqing couldn't hear what her mood was.
"Yes." When Cui Wanqing heard this, she hurriedly gathered her mind and agreed crisply: "Qing'er will come in." ”
There is a picture hanging on the door of the west room, embroidered with mandarin ducks and hoof lilies, Cui Wanqing can see at a glance that it is embroidered by Mrs. Zheng herself, this curtain is a big job, like such a big embroidery picture, there is no small half a year, don't think about it can be embroidered.
"Could it be that Mrs. Zheng's bedroom is really here? This is really rare enough, she lives in such a remote area, can Mr. Zheng be willing? Cui Wanqing thought as she reached out and opened the curtain of the door and walked in slowly.
When she entered the door, Cui Wanqing was stunned, this room was several times warmer than the living room of the Ming room, and just what Cui Wanqing saw at a glance, there were two large bronze hollow charcoal basins.
And Mrs. Zheng was sitting at the end of the big kang near the window, and on the kang head, there was a middle-aged woman half-lying on the kang, wearing a rose-red embroidered orchid cotton jacket.
Behind her were two wide rose-red cloud brocade embroidered flower pillows, covered with bright red soft silk Su embroidered brocade quilts, these gorgeous colors, surrounded her everywhere, and made her face more and more pale and terrifying.
That's right, this woman's face was pale and bloodless, even her lips were pale, her eyes were cloudy, and she looked at Cui Wanqing at the door blankly, looking a little stupid.
The long hair is yellow and has no luster, but it is neatly tied, there is no messy hair, and there are two rose-red silk yarn silk flowers on the meniscus sideburns, such a terminally ill person, such a strange scene, in the eyes of the well-informed Cui Wanqing, I only feel that my heart is cold.
"Qing'er, do you think the scene you see in front of you is very weird?" Mrs. Zheng was sitting precariously, her expression solemn, and she asked the question as she should, "Then, what you see next, I want you to remember it in your heart for the rest of your life, and never forget it!" ”R1152
