Chapter 7: Cause and Effect
This maid is the personal maid of the three girls, Hongmei.
Zhen Yan sank her face: "What are you doing in a panic?" ”
Hongmei didn't say anything, Zhen Yan's personal maid Lianye said coldly: "The master asked you, what kind of truth is hidden and tucked?" ”
Hongmei was about to cry: "The second girl, it's the third girl, she, she hanged herself!" ”
Zhen Yan and Zhen Miao's faces changed suddenly.
"How are the three girls?" Zhen Yan said sharply.
"Save ...... Saved......"
Before Hongmei finished speaking, Zhen Yan's face had already regained her calmness, and she wrung her eyebrows and said, "In this case, put away your panicked appearance for me, and quietly go to Mrs. Shizi." ”
"Yes!" Under Zhen Yan's calmness, Hongmei slightly recovered the appearance of a second-class maid.
"Remember, if you encounter me and the fourth girl today, you are not allowed to mention a word to others, the more people who know the Tao, the less beneficial it will be for you!" Zhen Yan said in a deep voice, dragging Zhen Miao and leaving.
Walking through the mountains and ponds, walking through the bamboo forest, the two sisters sat down in a water pavilion, silent.
After a while, Zhen Yan spoke: "Fourth sister, you can't live with the third sister." ”
"Hmm." Zhen Miao nodded.
Zhen Yan's tone changed, and she sneered: "But the third sister is looking for a short time, but she roasted us on the fire." ”
The little lady of a famous family has a good short-term view, and I don't know how many incidents have been speculated by the world, which will affect the reputation of the sisters in the clan.
First Zhen Miao fell into the water, and then Zhen Jing threw herself into the water, and it was rumored that she would go out, and I am afraid that the girl who built the Anbo Mansion would not have any reputation at all.
Especially Zhen Yan and Zhen Miao, who have already been engaged, may also end up being divorced.
It can be said that the third girl is pulling two cushions with her own death, which shows the hatred in her heart.
"Fourth sister, what do you think?"
Zhen Miao was silent for a long time, and said very seriously: "There is a cause before there is an effect." ”
No matter what kind of malice the third girl has in her heart, if a weak woman can only take revenge at the cost of her own death, it is sad enough.
In the final analysis, it was Zhen Miaoxian who owed her.
Zhen Yan sighed: "Fourth sister, since you fell into the water, you have been much more transparent. Today's events, the old lady and the wife of the prince will definitely hide it to death, whether it is you, me, or the third sister, they will be out of the cabinet in the past two years, and in the future, they will not be able to write two 'Zhen' words in one stroke. ”
If it was in the past, she was too lazy to say this, although the two were sisters, they always seemed to be separated by something since childhood, but now they can easily say it.
"Okay, don't take this matter to heart, go and say goodbye to your grandmother tomorrow, don't show your clues."
The two sisters talked for a while, and then they dispersed.
Minghuayuan is green and green, Ye Sheng is graceful, and the eldest lady is looking at the account at the window, and after listening to the maid's advice, Hongmei came in.
Seeing that Hongmei's expression was flustered, and even her sideburns were a little messy, she couldn't help but look slightly gloomy: "What's the matter, what kind of body is panicking!" ”
Hongmei knelt down with a plop: "Mrs. Shizi, the third girl, she hanged herself!" ”
"What!" The ledger in the eldest lady's hand fell and stood up.
Hongmei hurriedly added: "The third girl was rescued, and the servants didn't dare to hide it, so please ask Mrs. Shizi to call the shots." ”
Hearing that the third girl had nothing to do, the eldest lady's expression was slightly relaxed, but a coldness flashed in her eyes: "Who else knows about this matter?" ”
"Just the maid and the green calyx, as well as Zhang's mother. As soon as the girl was saved, Zhang's mother ordered the green calyx to guard the door and let the maid come to tell the lady. ”
"Okay, you go back and guard the third girl, remember not to reveal the slightest rumor, even Aunt Lan won't be able to do it."
Hongmei was apprehensive, but she didn't dare to stay anymore, and hurriedly retreated.
"It's all messy!" The eldest lady snorted coldly, got up and went to Ningshoutang.
Zhen Miao returned to Agarwood Garden, thinking about the three girls' self-hanging, becoming more and more irritable, and remembering the old lady's instructions, she simply spread paper and polished ink and practiced calligraphy.
The original master is a hairpin flower Xiaokai, which is very skilled.
Although Zhen Miao inherited the skills of the original owner, she couldn't write fluently for a while, and the more she wrote, the more upset she became, so she simply threw away the pen.
"Four girls." Shisu quietly picked up the pen and handed it to her.
Zhen Miao glared at Zisu.
The perilla face does not change color, and it is full of persistence.
Zhen Miao shook her head and said truthfully: "I can't make it, I can't calm down in my heart." ”
She is not a female agent of Niu Cha, and she knows that there is a person in Lu Dao whose life and death are related to her, and she can still learn words like water.
"Girl, you might as well read the Bible first."
Zhen Miao stood up: "Zisu, I have to go and see." ”
"Girl, you should listen to the second girl."
Zhen Miao stared at the tip of her shoe: "I know that what the second sister said is right, but I still want to take a look." ”
See what can you change? Shisu thought so in his heart, but for some reason, the words of persuasion were not spoken.
Zhen Miao took a piece of broken silver and gave it to Shiso: "Zisu, let a little girl go to the big kitchen and bring some arrowroot powder, white bean paste and tea powder." ”
In addition to the old lady's Ning Shoutang, the daily food in each courtyard is sent from the big kitchen, and if you want to eat something else or use ingredients, you have to give a special reward.
Zhen Miao's courtyard does not have a small kitchen, but she has a small stove in the ear room, which can make tea or heat some food, and the same is true for other courtyards.
Zhen Miao remembered that the third girl, Zhen Jing, liked to eat sweets very much.
One year, the palace rewarded osmanthus cakes, and the old lady gave them to a few children, and the original owner bullied Zhen Jing is concubine and robbed her.
That was the only time that the three girls, who had always been quiet and obedient, did not let go, and the two little girls fought together.
Both of them have been beaten by the ruler, and they have hated each other since they were children.
Zhen Miao flipped through the previous memories and carefully mixed the white bean paste and tea powder brought back by the little maid.
She's going to make a dim sum called Jade Fruit.
This kind of preserved fruit is translucent, looks like jade, and is smooth and soft in the mouth, sweet but not greasy.
When I was in school, there was a mother-in-law who pushed a cart to sell a delicious taste of dried fruits, she squatted every day to guard, and bought water for the old woman to drink.
I was busy until dinner, and the jade fruit was ready, and it was just cooled down after dinner.
Looking at the dim sum like a translucent jade, Shiso's unchanged expression cracked, and he quietly glanced at Zhen Miao several times.
I have long heard that the four girls are competitive in the boudoir school, and they must do their best in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn't expect that their cooking skills are also the best.
Zhen Miao divided the jade fruit into more than a dozen parts, the old lady and the old lady, the big room, the second room, and the third room were not left behind, and the little maid was ordered to send it over.
He took a jade fruit to Xie Yan Pavilion.
"Four girls." Hongmei was very surprised when she saw Zhen Miao.
"I'll take a look at the third sister."
Hongmei's face showed a different color, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she saluted and said, "Let the maid go and tell you." ”
After a while, he turned back and said with some surprise: "Fourth girl, our girl has already slept." ”
Zhen Miao understood that this was because Zhen Jing didn't want to see her.
In these days, people had dinner early, and now when you first arrive, the sky is still bright.
"Third sister, are you well?"
These days, the three girls are all sick, and the old lady exempts her from asking for peace.
At this time, Zhen Miao asked like this, Hongmei knew what she was asking, and hurriedly said: "Miss Lao, Miss Lao, our girl is no longer in trouble, and she will go to ask the old lady for peace tomorrow." ”
"That's good, bother Sister Hongmei to bring this to the third sister, I made it myself." Zhen Miao handed the food box containing the jade jelly fruit to Hongmei and turned to leave.
Passing by the garden, I saw the eldest young master Zhen Huan taking the Yu family for a walk.
Seeing that it was Zhen Miao, disgust flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes, and he said coldly: "Why did the fourth sister come out?" ”
