Chapter 7: Killing
Harmony...... Red Courtyard!
Of course, Granny Lai knew that it was the most popular Qinglou Tangzi, so angry that her eyes were black, her wrinkled cheeks couldn't help shaking, and her mouth was open like a fish out of water, but she couldn't make a sound.
Who is so bold?
Everyone was frightened, and looked towards the door, only to see that the comer's hair was lightly slanted, and half of his long black hair was scattered, wild and uninhibited, but not conspicuous—he was about twenty years old, tall and straight, and his face against the sun could be said to be gorgeous—if he appeared on stage, he was afraid that it would attract the salivation of the good men in the city.
He was dressed in a bat-patterned thick satin robe, with four inches of dark gold thread pinched edges, and a silver mink robe on his head, probably drunk, and his chest was untied.
"Fourth Young Master!"
Yao's mother's face changed several times—from red to pale, then to yellow, and even her voice changed tone.
"Tut, isn't this Mother Yao? When did you come to Yihong Courtyard too...... If you are a guest, you can also toast! ”
The fourth young master Guangsheng smiled drunken and hazy, although he was drunk and talked nonsense, the handsome face that seemed to be smiling still made most of the maids present blush and heartbeat, and the spring was dark.
Mother Yao saw his drunken state clearly, but she breathed a sigh of relief, and even her tone was kind, and she didn't care about him at all, "The fourth young master is drunk, come and two people to help him go back." ”
The little guy who had to use the organic spirit stepped forward, but was thrown away by Guangsheng vigorously, and almost fell into the mud, "Get out!" ”
He staggered into the hall, his tall and long body backlit to cover the entire huge shadow, glanced around at the big and small maids present, but finally stopped at Granny Lai, "It's strange, when Yihongyuan changed to a new bustard mother, so ugly is not afraid to scare away the guests." ”
Even in such a strange and stiff atmosphere, there were still people who couldn't suppress their chuckles.
Granny Lai is a powerful person beside the old lady, she is senior and old, even the adult young master and young lady have to respect her for three points, she has never seen such a fanatic who despises her, and she is more and more angry that her hands and feet tremble, and her voice is hoarse-
"Old slave, I have also served three generations of people in this mansion - the other brothers are all knowledgeable and courteous, and I have never seen the fourth young master like this!"
She snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave, looking at the whirring posture, it was obvious that she was going back to complain.
On the side, Yao's mother was watching the play and watching comfortably, and when she saw that the main owner had run away, the smile on the corner of her lips deepened, but she pretended to be worried, stepped forward, supported the drunk Guangsheng, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Fourth young master...... Fourth Young Master, wake up! ”
Her voice shouted loudly, and she couldn't wait for everyone in the Hou Mansion to come and see this ugly state.
"Heaven and Earth Bodhisattva, what if you drink a good drink...... Fourth Young Master, do you want to vomit? Come on, call the doctor! ”
Suddenly, there was another burst of people turning on their backs.

Chu Lan helped Xiao Gu back to the lower room, but she was still not at ease, and wanted to rub the medicine on the part of the stick wound for her, but Xiao Gu refused, "I have nothing to do!" ”
In the dark night, when Chu Lan fell asleep, Xiao Gu got up, took off his clothes in the dark, groped for the high swelling on his back, and smiled quietly, "It's quite ruthless...... It's a pity that the heat is not enough. ”
She fumbled, applied the secret medicine to the red and swollen wound, then swallowed another pill, and when everything was in order, she went to sleep.
After a night of speech, when Chu Lan woke up in the morning, she found that Xiao Gu was abnormal, still asleep in bed, she stepped forward and found that Xiao Gu's forehead was hot, and the whole person was unconscious.
Chu Lan hurried to the big kitchen, but unexpectedly, Qin's mother was not in the charcoal room, but went to the front lobby. When Chu Lan saw her, she was standing by the boiling water basin where the pigs were dehaired, talking to a maid in a blue coat and pink coat.
"Although you learned the rules from your aunt, the affairs of the Hou Mansion are not something that can be understood just by talking - you first watch from the lobby and figure out all the messengers in the big kitchen."
Mother Qin turned around and saw Chu Lan, and said in surprise: "What happened to you in a hurry?" ”
Chu Lan was covered in a cold sweat, and when she saw that Mother Qin seemed to have a backbone, she cried in a low voice: "Mother Qin, Xiao Gu was beaten a few times, and the whole person had a high fever!" ”
Mother Qin was startled, then her eyes flashed, she glanced at her fiercely, and motioned her to shut up.
But the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl on the side had already heard it clearly, and she exclaimed, "What, this little sister Gu has a high fever?!" ”
The sound was neither loud nor small, just enough for the whole lobby to hear.
Mother Qin's eyes turned cold, and the maid had already realized that she was speechless, so she covered her mouth and didn't dare to say anything, only her eyes were rolling around, as if she was thinking about something.
"Yo, you have a high fever, what if you give the masters a sick breath?!"
The words were sour but proud, and the woman who came with a high voice had a purple silk handkerchief wrapped around her waist, a big silver hairpin dangling on her head, her face was like a silver plate, and although her eyes were fierce, there was still a bit of pungent beauty.
This is Liu's family's, the housekeeper's mother in the barbecue room. Her husband Liu Da is in charge of the carriages and horses in the outer courtyard, and her son is serving the pen and ink in the eldest young master's study.
She has always been at odds with Mother Qin, but now that she has caught this trick, she just wants to publicize it, "Since the second lady is housekeeper, she has instructed us: The kitchen is very important, and we should be careful that illness enters from the mouth." It's good that you guys are silent, and when this news reaches the masters, it will harm the whole kitchen! ”
Her voice was so sharp and high that everyone stopped what they were doing.
"Let's evaluate whether this is the reason - people with fever and illness should report it truthfully, and quickly move out of the inner courtyard, so as to save everyone from being sick!"
The people around him whispered, and there was a little agreement between their expressions.
Mother Qin took a deep breath, looked at Chu Lan, and commanded in a deep voice, "Move Xiao Gu out of the city." ”
"Mom!"
Chu Lan was about to kneel down again, but the little maid on the side stepped forward and picked it up, smiled and comforted softly: "This is Sister Chu Lan, I can't speak when I am a newcomer, but I think that Sister Chu Lan must be more sensible than me - don't give Mother Qin a problem, let's move people quickly!" ”
Chu Lan broke away from her hand blankly, and was about to beg again, but Mother Qin frowned, "Get out of the way!" Find someone to take care of her - whether she can get better or not depends on her life. ”

There is a narrow street in the Hou Mansion, which is full of low houses at a glance, dilapidated and withered. The people around are also in old clothes and have sad faces.
There are also wives and children who work in the outer court, old and frail servants, and men, women, and children who have made mistakes and have been let out of the inner courtyard all live here.
Xiao Gu was moved out of the house, and saw that he was carried by a cart for Qin's mother's sake, and casually thrown into a broken house in a courtyard, and every day an old man sent some food and water.
What a godsend......
Xiao Gu thought so, got up from the straw, swallowed a pill first, and subsided the high fever that scared people to death, and then took out another short jacket with green embroidered bamboo from the baggage, with a long skirt with moon white and goose yellow, and used fat cream to remove the black marks on his face.
She cautiously observed the courtyard, and after making sure that there was no one, she went out of the back alley, and when she arrived at the intersection next door, a broken wooden carriage was answering.
"Twelve mothers, we are here."
There were men and women in the carriage, their eyes were trusting and suspicious. Xiao Gu smiled slightly and said, "Today is the day when Lord Yang Yan of the Criminal Department returns to the West." ”

On the bustling street, the errand officer who opened the road separated the crowd, and a four-person sedan chair with a blue embroidered brocade curtain came slowly, and the first sign held up the word "Yang".
The people gave way obediently, and some people were bargaining in front of the jewelry stalls nearby, and some people were shouting and selling fresh bamboos in the distance. Everything was very calm.
And the invisible killing machine is gradually brewing and approaching-
