Chapter 100: Grounding
Mother Qin hid the bag of yellow phosphorus and had a ghost in her heart, but when she heard Xiao Gu say this, her face suddenly turned pale, her expression was quite uncomfortable, and she almost fell down with a cane in her hand.
Xiao Gu looked at her with a smile, "Mom, this bag of things stinks of garlic and smells bad, I took it out of your luggage and wanted to throw it away, but I found that it would catch fire when it was wet, which was quite fun - I thought about using it to make this group of guys look foreign!" ”
Yellow phosphorus is highly toxic, and if you don't get it right, you will die...... Xiao Gu, this girl didn't know it, and she almost caused a big disaster!
Mother Qin secretly complained in her heart that she was not energetic when she broke her leg, and she didn't take a good look at these little girls.
She hurriedly went out, probably to take care of the injured little guys: the burning caused by yellow phosphorus was not actually hot, but corroded the skin, and it was really toxic if it was not done!
Xiao Gu looked at her back thoughtfully, and a chuckle appeared on her lips - Mother Qin hid the yellow phosphorus, originally to avenge the eldest lady of the vanguard, but now that she has used it herself, she is bound to be unable to use this trick again, and the resentment and resentment in her heart cannot be dissipated-At this time, the mysterious person who saw her killing and breaking her body again offered an exchange condition, and she couldn't help but be unmoved.
As long as the long wooden box is found, it will not only find out the real murderer for you, but also fulfill your wish for revenge, so that the victim will pay for it with blood!
At such a price, Qin's mother must be moved and take the initiative to check the news of the wooden box......
Xiao Gu's eyes turned serious and solemn - at the beginning, it was also for this wooden box that he chose the Shen family of Jining Hou Mansion in the mansions of many dignitaries and nobles, and he hiberned and endured in this huge Hou Mansion, and became a rough little maid who burned fire and chopped wood.
That wooden box...... The mysterious wooden box, the wooden box that appeared and disappeared inexplicably, the most unheard clue only pointed to the eldest lady Zhang, who had passed away a long time ago, and the two people she was closest to. One is Qin's mother, and the other is the eldest lady Ruyao, who she raised under her knees and regarded as her own daughter.
Thinking of this, Xiao Gu's eyes became even deeper.
You can't be impatient in this matter, you can only figure it out slowly and find it out!
Under the chatter of several women, before they knew it, it was already late at night, and Lan Ning had not arranged a place to live for the time being, so she could only squeeze in a bunk with Chu Lan. But Gu slipped headlong into her dark, narrow, windowless partition.
The smell was even worse after months of unoccupied—a faint stream of melted snow seeping through the cracks in the wall, wetting the kerosene urn in the corner, and the smell of fermented pickles almost choking people unconscious.
Xiao Gu is accustomed to it, and even willing to eat it: the oil paint material used in Yirong has a special fragrance, which is not easy to be discovered here.
Xiao Gu put the bottles and cans that he had brought out of the box into the big box, and sorted out the old sundries.
Suddenly, her gaze rested on a pendant carved out of yellow and white stone. There was a red rope tied to it, and Xiao Gu remembered that he had worn it since he was a child.
The stone texture of this pendant is rough, and it is not a precious object when it looks like it, so it was not lost or taken away in the process of being sold. Instead, she forgot about it and left it in the box and ignored it.
Rubbing this pendant, feeling the warm but slightly rough contradictory texture of his fingertips, Xiao Gu's heart suddenly moved.
Slowly wiped it with the potion and cloth towel that washed away the disfigurement, and suddenly this pendant revealed its true face-
It's a delicate jade pendant! The jade is white and delicate, and the carving is exquisite but not redundant. The knife and pen and axe chisel are extraordinary, and the warm and delicate luster suddenly makes this half of the burrow look bright!
The pattern engraved by the jade pendant is a dragon, circling and flying but does not appear to be open teeth and claws, but a dignified and noble atmosphere, surrounded by Ganoderma lucidum and auspicious clouds, but faintly engraved with a micro seal smaller than a grain of rice - Xiao Gu came to the front of him to take a closer look, but found that the handwriting was stained by a special dye, and he couldn't see it clearly.
Where did this jade pendant come from?
Xiao Gu frowned and tried his best to remember, but he only remembered that when he was sold with his mother, he had already worn it on his body for a moment.
Suddenly, she remembered Yuan Jin's crystal and deep eyes the day before yesterday, and that sentence with a deep meaning-
"Rujun...... Keep my jade pendant well. ”
Don't...... This jade pendant is his?!
The question is, there is really no memory of when he gave it to himself!
Xiao Gu frowned in a tangle, only to feel that what he was holding in his hand was not a jade pendant, but a hot charcoal!
She couldn't help but turn around, open the bag hidden at the bottom of the box, and suddenly saw that the sable cloak was neatly folded and pressed at the bottom.
Thinking of that night, he muttered his real name, such a hot and strange look, Xiao Gu sighed, held his forehead and comforted himself: Forget it, even if you can't remember, at least you know that he is a friend and not an enemy!
The next time we meet, be sure to ask him clearly!
****
In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Gu and the three of them finished breakfast and were about to continue to pack their things, when suddenly the door was violently pushed open, and Liu and his family twisted their waists and broke in.
After a few months, her face was rounder and whiter, she wore a purple satin jacket embroidered with colorful finches, and the silver hairpin on her head was replaced by half a set of red gold heads, which stinged people's eyes brightly.
"Yo, you little girls, you've been learning so much and lazily for a long time!"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Lan Ning without saying anything, raised her chin and looked at it carefully, and was suddenly shocked and envious-
"Oh, such a handsome fox came out of the red courtyard of the military masters, right? It's really good-looking! ”
A cold light flashed in Lan Ning's eyes, and she shook off her hand, if it weren't for being in the Hou Mansion, she would have cut off her hand with a dagger!
"Aunt Liu, what are you doing here?"
Chu Lan stood up and gave the order to evict the guest.
"It's really that you haven't become a noble person and started to forget - your messenger is in the big kitchen, it's all sun-burning, and you don't come to work, do you have to ask my wife three or four times?"
"We are Young Master Sheng's people!"
Chu Lan retorted, but was sneered at by Aunt Liu, "Young Master Sheng, he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself!" The lord had already grounded him in the room and was not allowed to go out. ”
"What?!"
Chu Lan's face turned pale and she was startled - in the past few months with Guangsheng, although she also lived in the suburbs and encountered the danger of explosion, but in general. But it was the most comfortable period of her life, and now that the master she followed was locked up, did she want to fall into the hands of this group of filthy people of Steward Wu and the Liu family?
"You are talking nonsense, the young master is an official of the imperial court, how can there be a reason to be locked up casually?!"
Lan Ning pretended to be angry next to her, but in fact he was tricking her words.
Liu's family is already tongue-in-cheek, but this time they are even more triumphant, "What kind of world have you seen as a little vixen from outside?" When you see an official, you can see it as a big mallet! Our Hou Mansion is not an ordinary family, and the official position of Mung Bean is not in his eyes! What Young Master Sheng, in front of the old lady is like a cat and mouse! ”
She thought she was going to eat three of them. Urging them to work, "What are you doing there?" Do you think you're a daughter? ”
Chu Lan wanted to argue again, but Xiao Gu made a look, so the two got up silently.
Liu's eyes glared at Lan Ning, and they wanted to get her back to rub it, but Lan Ning said coldly: "I'm Young Master Sheng's person." ”
Liu's eyes were suddenly full of disdain, and there was vague envy, but after thinking about it, she was too good-looking, and she was afraid that she would hook some cheap man when she went to the big kitchen. So he said no more and took the two of them and left.
****
The big kitchen is still so noisy and noisy, Qin's mother is recuperating due to an injured leg, and her position as the steward of the charcoal room is naturally topped, this person turned out to be Yu Xia'er!
She is still young and has little qualifications. It stands to reason that she can't get past everyone like this, but she seems to have climbed some thick legs, and she can walk upright in the big kitchen.
She was a villain and took chicken feathers as arrows. The branch made Chu Lan turn around until Xiao Gu's hand slipped, and the huge axe grazed her face.
The screams almost pierced the sky. The newcomer Xiao Wu hurriedly rushed out to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, glared at Xiao Gu angrily and was about to scold, Xiao Gu said in a faint voice: "The young master said, if we are missing a hair, he will let the little guy come over and smash this big kitchen today." ”
These words made Xiao Wu's steward completely silenced, the so-called evil is afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal is afraid of death, and Guangsheng's notoriety is really broadcast far and wide in the mansion.
The so-called pressing the gourd up to scoop, Liu family's reliance on himself and Wu Steward have a leg, and in front of his nephew Xiao Wu Steward is also to put the elders' genealogy, taking this opportunity to say that Yu Xia'er can't suppress these little girls, and wants to change her sister Hu Widow to manage the firewood and charcoal house.
Where is Xiao Wu in charge, just prevaricate with soft words, but Yuxiaer took it seriously, grabbed his sleeve and cried so much that it rained, but it attracted Liu everyone's rough voice and scolded "Little Wave Hoof".
Taking advantage of the mess, Xiao Gu slipped into the red and white case, secretly took a few chicken legs and steamed crab roe lion head, put them under the fragrant rice that had just come out of the pot, and took away the food box and vegetables.
When I came to the gate of Guangsheng Courtyard, I saw General Tie guarding the door, and there was silence inside and out, and there was no popularity.
Xiao Gu lifted the corner of his skirt and climbed up the big tree on the west side of the courtyard neatly, the canopy of which was facing Guangsheng's bedroom.
Sure enough, a familiar figure stood in front of the window, holding a book in his hand, bored reading.
Xiao Gu stepped back, hugged the food box and jumped in, the calculation of strength was a little off, but it happened to hit a square.
"Be careful!"
Guangsheng was hugged but was carried down by the powerful impact, and before falling to the ground, he hurriedly hugged Xiao Gu and unloaded the force to prevent her from being injured.
In the next moment, he hugged the warm girl's body in his arms, which was close to him, and Xiao Gu's legs were even pressed on his sides.
"You're so heavy...... Is this going to crush me into a meatloaf? ”
Guangsheng's words suddenly made Xiao Guliu's eyebrows rise upside down, and his eyes erupted with fire.
"Young Master!!"
She crossed her back and glared at him.
Guangsheng fell to the ground, his hands still holding her waist, and when he heard the roar of the Hedong lion, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, okay, I said it nonsense - I only knew that there were bird droppings and fallen leaves falling from the sky, but I didn't expect there to be little beauties and delicious food!"
He smiled heartily, and he actually flickered his tongue. (To be continued......)
