It rained last night, dissipated the heat, opened the window, the air was fresh after the rain, and Shen Wanzhen thought about going to the back garden to see those flowers.

Said to Xiuju: "Let's go to the garden to have a look, and when we come back, the flowers have withered." ”

Enter from the east wall door, the garden is full of dripping green, a refreshing, the master and servant go to listen to the rain Xuan, sit in the Xuan, watch the pond water surface fish play between the lotus leaves.

Suddenly, Xiuju pointed to the distance, "That's not the sixth aunt's maid." ”

Wan Zhen followed her finger and looked over, the maid was in a hurry, because she was in a hurry, and she didn't see anyone in the pavilion, so she walked to the upper room.

Wanzhen thought, there are not many days left, and something will happen to the sixth aunt.

Half an hour later, a housekeeper's daughter-in-law led a man with a medicine box to hurry through the garden and go to the sixth aunt's house.

Wanzhen is even more suspicious, looking for a doctor, it seems that the matter is not small.

"The master sits, and the slave and maid go and inquire." Xiuju saw that the master did not object, and went out of the pavilion.

The courtyard of the sixth aunt is in the southwest of the garden, and after about a stick of incense, I saw the second aunt Gu walking with the maid, looking like she was going to the sixth aunt's house.

As soon as the Gu family passed, Xiuju came back, looking flustered, "Master, the sixth aunt has a bad stomach,"

Wanzhen was not surprised, stood up and said, "Since you know the way, you can't pretend not to know the way, let's go and take a look." ”

As soon as he Xiuju came out of the east corner gate of the garden, he saw Wu helping the maid and the woman to pass from the east.

Wanzhen deliberately slowed down, let go of the Wu family, and grabbed in front of the housemother, which was annoying to people.

In the courtyard of the sixth aunt, the doctor has left.

As soon as I entered the yard, I listened to the little maid whispering, and Wanzhen didn't need to inquire, and I knew what happened, and it turned out that the doctor checked the things used by the sixth aunt, a bowl of blood swallows, and said that it was rewarded by the master, but somehow there was a croton in it, and I don't know who was the black hand.

The maid replied: "The third girl is here." ”

Wanzhen went in, and the four girls were also there, nodding to each other. It's not formal at this time.

Wu sat at the head of the bed and comforted the sixth aunt, Xiao Sun got up several times, but Wu held him down, "How does your stomach feel?" If you are weak, don't move, I'll have someone stew you with a good tonic for you, eat it for a while, and get some sleep."

Xiao Sun lowered his eyebrows and whispered: "I've taken medicine, it's much better, it's nothing, I don't let me alarm my wife, it's the maids who are not sensible and make a big fuss." ”

Wu's face was cold, "How can this be a big fuss, you have the flesh and blood of the Shen family in your stomach, and someone dares to do anything else, this is worth it." ”

said to Chen's mother behind him: "Check it for me, let me find out, I won't be spared." ”

At this moment, the little maid outside said, "The master is here." ”

Wu Shi hurriedly stood up, and before Wanzhen and Wanyun could greet him, Shen Quande came in, and said with a dark face as soon as he entered the door: "What's going on?" ”

As soon as Xiao Sun saw that the old man was coming, he was afraid to get up and get up and get off the ground, but was held down by Master Shen, "You don't have to move, lie down."

Xiao Sun's eyes flickered, and he was a little uneasy.

The Wu family told the cause and effect, and Shen Quande was furious, "Who is bold enough to dare to do something to my Shen family, Madame must check it carefully." ”

After making trouble for a while, seeing that there was nothing to do, Wu said: "The master stayed with his sister, and the concubine retired first." ”。

Everyone in the house quit one after another, leaving Master Shen and Xiao Sun behind.

When there was no one in front of her at night, Mama Yan asked: "Girl, there are many people during the day, the old slave didn't inquire carefully, the old slave heard that the sixth aunt was poisoned, but there is such a thing?" ”

Wanzhen wore a moon-white silk shirt, spread her hair, sat on the bed, and said, "I was given diarrheal medicine, but it's okay." ”

The lines on Mama Yan's forehead deepened, and she said to herself: "Sometimes it seems impossible to be possible, and sometimes it seems impossible to be."

Wanzhen thought in her heart but didn't say it, there are only two possibilities for this matter, one is done by the Wu family, and the other is the little Sun family herself, if it is the Wu family, she wants to attract everyone's attention to the fourth aunt, the fourth aunt easily dare not make any moves, if it is the little Sun family herself, it also makes sense, she wants to attract attention and protect more.

Wanzhen suddenly remembered something, "Today, Mrs. went to the courtyard of the sixth aunt to take the Yongdao, if you are really worried, why not take a shortcut to the garden, even the second aunt wears the garden to the past, not to mention the most urgent is the wife."

recalled that when she saw the Wu family, Wu's steps were calm and not a little messy, and she could almost conclude that the Wu family was inseparable, this was not a simple competition for favor between wives and concubines, and she was jealous.

She was almost sure that this time she went to Beijing, the Wu family must have other plans, and she would be able to know the Dao when the time came, but she was afraid that it would be too late to know the Dao.

After seven or eight days, the fifth aunt Ding is a capable and neat, the things that the girl wants to bring have already been prepared, the mother and daughter are talking in the room, Ding carefully instructed, pointed to a steady and close girl next to him and said: "I let Duanyun go with you, my aunt is not by my side, the rules of Wu Mansion are big, and everyone will see how the girl in Wu Mansion behaves in advance." ”

Ding looked down the corridor again, the maids were all standing at the bottom of the steps, and Ding whispered: "Remember what my aunt usually told you, the personnel rules of the Wu Mansion should be inquired about in advance, so as not to be laughed at. ”

Shen Xuanyu agreed with her mouth, but this ear came out, and that ear went in, thinking that my aunt was too cautious, what could there be, my Shen family is either a small family that has never seen the world, or the Wu family is rich, but it is just a three-grade household servant.

"If you marry well, you want to avenge your grandfather, think about how rich my Ding family was back then, but now it is scattered, and my aunt will guard you all her life, which is a hope." Ding said hopefully.

Shen Wanyu blinked and thought to herself: What grievances are you trying to do? My grandfather embezzled and took bribes and forced people to take their lives, and if it weren't for my father, my aunt would have been enslaved by the government.

But I didn't dare to say this in front of my aunt, it only made her sad.

Wanzhen and Mama Yan were also discussing going out, and Mama Yan asked, "The girl plans to take that maid there?" ”

"Take Xiuju and Qiaoshan with you." Wanzhen doesn't have to hide it from her.

Mama Wu was expected for the girl to bring embroidered chrysanthemums, but she was a little surprised to bring Qiaoshan, "Qiaoshan's girl is clever, but she is frizzy, and the girl has to worry about her heart." ”

"I went to Wufu to live in a sparse place, Qiao Shan is a self-acquaintance, there are things, she may be able to help, as for the frizzy temperament, Qiao Shan is a person who can see the high and low."

Mother Wu nodded, "The girl thinks more than the old slave." ”

She was not by the third girl's side before, seeing that she was weak, but her mind was delicate, she was not obvious in front of people, and she was just right.

Mama Yan didn't know that Shen Wanzhen's body was in her twenties, her parents divorced when she was a child, she suffered a lot, she experienced more things than children of the same age, and she was already precocious in her previous life.

Chun Tao came back from the garden, and when she heard the sound, the two stopped talking.

Chun Tao entered the door and said excitedly, "Girl, do you know who killed the sixth aunt?" ”

Wanzhen was interested in listening, and said, "Who is it?" ”

"The rough maid in the sixth aunt's room is called Xiao Qiu'er, and she was beaten and scolded by the sixth aunt, and she was angry and drugged, and she didn't dare to take it too hard."

Chun Tao said again: "Mrs. beat that maid and sold it."

As he was talking, Dangui came in and said, "Girl, the big kitchen has brought food."

Wanzhen took a look at the drip, but it was not too early.

Chun Tao and Dan Gui both went down to work, this kung fu, Yan Mama said in a low voice: "Qiu'er girl turned out to be a rough girl in the fourth aunt's room, and she also stayed in the fifth aunt's house. ”

This inner pass is clear-eyed, and people can know the Tao at a glance.

"Mrs. has sent more people to the courtyard of the sixth aunt, and Mama Chen is packing up and preparing to move in when the wife leaves, and the master has not been to the fourth aunt's house for the past two days." Mama Yan's words couldn't be clearer.
