Chapter 20 To live to see people, to die to see corpses
The people in the Cui Courtyard were all furious, because last night was unusually calm, and no one slept so much that they couldn't wake up. The courtyard door was tightly closed, and there was no trace of forced entry, and there was a mother-in-law patrolling the night in the middle of the night, but there was a living person, why was it gone?
Leng Yu always thought that Leng Xiang was scaring herself, how could there be any haunting? At this time, he couldn't help but feel furious, and sent out all the people in the house to look for it. Because Wen Ningzhi had already gone to the yamen in the morning, it was difficult to chase after him, so he had to ask someone to tell his aunt Hanqiao.
Han Qiao was also disapprehensive at the beginning, there is a way to be suspicious of dark ghosts, she has long suspected that Leng Yu and Leng Xiang have done a lot of unsightly things, I wish they were not at peace, and secretly added fuel to the fire. But now that things have come to this point, she feels a little uncontrollable. At that time, the entire Hou Mansion was not clean, and she couldn't be left alone. Or if something even more ugly comes out, I am afraid it will have an impact on the flesh and blood left by Mrs. Xuan. So, she got nervous too. I don't care if the news will leak, and I toss the whole house, one word: find!
At the very least, you have to see people in life and corpses in death.
At this point where chickens fly and dogs jump, Liuli can no longer be in the house, and "hurriedly" rushed to the inner study of Ning'an Hou's Mansion, that is, the place where the eldest aunt and a few housekeepers discussed. The maids who followed behind him, one was a lime and the other was Weiwei.
In an eventful autumn, it is inevitable that someone will stare at Mo Yuxuan. Qingdai is stable and intelligent, and needs to stay in the base camp with Yiqiu, who is also calm and reasonable. As for Lime, she is responsible for brushing her face, which shocks all parties, maybe someone can show her new feet.
When Liuli went to the inner study, she found that Wen Zhiyun and Wen Yiyun were there. Although they are Miss Chang, the highest-ranking female dependents in the house, but because they usually don't ask much about family affairs, they sit in the flat position at this time, and the eldest aunt Hanqiao is in the main seat, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes and some pungent cold jade sitting at the bottom. The rest of the mothers-in-law, including Cheng's mother, stood by the door.
The maids did not enter the house, but waited quietly under the porch, some distance from the doors and windows of the inner study, to prevent the conversation from being overheard. They are wearing uniform colors, lake blue breast-length skirts and light blue half-arms, combing the same double buns, all of them are low-browed, and they seem to have quite family education rules. Because of the special status of Liuli, the maid was brought into the mansion by herself, and the monthly money on weekdays did not go from the account of the Hou Mansion, but she dressed casually.
Lime and Weiwei also stayed outside, standing farther away than others in order to avoid suspicion. Liuli lifted the corner of the skirt herself, looked up at the exquisite tile carving of the gourd Wandai and the peach type in the corner of the eaves, and then entered the house.
"My sister is here?" Wen Zhiyun was the first to say hello, with a gentle and generous expression. She's an older sister, so there's no need to stand up.
Wen Yiyun pursed his lips and turned his head away, not only did he not get up to salute, but he also snorted lightly as if he was afraid that others would not notice.
Wen Zhiyun frowned, but Liuli completely regarded Wen Yiyun as transparent and had seen it separately from others.
"You won't need me anyway, I'll go back first, and I won't leave any trouble." Wen Yiyun was not treated like the stars holding the moon, Huo Di stood up at the moment, turned around and walked out. What she said was to squeeze the glass, according to the chaos in the Hou Mansion, a righteous girl can avoid it. Haunted or something, it's definitely a family ugly, and "outsiders" shouldn't interfere.
Liuli had already classified Wen Yiyun into the range of low-IQ artillery battles, so naturally he still ignored it, and it was not good for others to speak or retain at this time, but Wen Yiyun had difficulty riding a tiger, so he had to go out angrily. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, because she stopped so quickly that she almost touched the threshold. It was Cheng's mother who helped her nearby, so she didn't fall. But her screams rushed out of her throat.
"What's wrong again?" Wen Zhiyun stroked her forehead, and suddenly wanted to marry out immediately, saving herself from having to face stupid younger brothers and sisters every day.
Wen Zhiyun pointed outside, her eyes widening in surprise, "Huo ...... Suddenly...... Looks so similar! ”
She is headless and brainless, attracting others to follow the trend.
Lime also stood in a regular manner, but not with her head hanging down as humbly as the other girls. And although she stood far away, she was facing the inner study, so as long as her eyes were not bad, she could see her face clearly. So, the sound of pumping came and went.
Those who have eyes can recognize that the second lady's maid is seven or eight points similar in appearance and size to the late Mrs. Huo. If it weren't for the fact that she was dressed as a maid, with a shallow smile on her face, she was also younger, and she almost coincided with that heroic and proud woman.
The eldest aunt glanced at Cheng's mother in surprise.
On the same day, when this Miss Shui entered Beijing, the two ladies in the house looked down on others, found excuses, and did not go out to greet them. How can she, an aunt, be qualified to meet the future princess without permission? simply sent someone to hang, saving people from hanging up or down, which provoked criticism. After Cheng's mother came back that day, she seemed to have told her that the righteous daughter of Master Hou had a personal maid who looked a little like Mrs. Huo in the past, but she didn't care.
In the vast world, there are hundreds of millions of living beings, and there are countless people who look alike. She just didn't expect it to come to this point. If she wasn't sure that there was no one in the Huo family, she would have thought that this maid was Mrs. Huo's own sister or illegitimate daughter. If this is seen by Hou Ye...... So what's that?
The other butlers also exchanged glances, because they had heard the rumors, but they did not pay attention to the matter as much as the eldest aunt.
"What's wrong?" Liuli asked "puzzled".
In the end, Wen Zhiyun was calmer, and said to Liuli, "Sister, your girl ......"
Liuli suddenly realized, "Oh, you said lime." She is my personal girl, who bought into the Cao Gang at a small time. I heard my eldest brother say that she looks a little similar to Mrs. Huo in the past. ”
"Big brother has seen it?" Wen Zhiyun was a little surprised.
Her own brother, she knows very well. seems to be gentle and approachable, but in fact he is very proud, and even if he says a word, he will be provocative. Moreover, since you know that there are people in the mansion who look like Mrs. Huo, why didn't you tell her? Everything related to Mrs. Huo is taboo, doesn't the eldest brother know?
Liuli nodded, "When the eldest brother gave me the charm, I saw Lime." If it weren't for my eldest brother's words, I just came to Tokyo, where would I know? ”
"Why didn't I see you take her out before?" After Wen Yiyun was shocked, he was aggressive.
"This girl is reckless and not very sensible, so basically I don't take her out. Today is something that Qingdai can't do without, so she is asked to follow. Ruri wondered, "Can't you?" If you think that she looks similar to Mrs. Huo and is not suitable to appear, then I will tell her to go back. But she's been with me since she was a child, and I won't chase people away. That's a bit of a weight.
The eldest aunt hurriedly said, "It looks alike, it is the fate of the previous life, how can there be a reason to let people out of the house?" According to me, naturally, the young lady can call at will, and you can go anywhere. The second lady is so careless, it's just that we were a little surprised when we met at first glance. With that, he looked at the others.
No one has any objections, even if there are all kinds of ideas in their hearts, they can't be shown on the surface. Although the Ning'an Hou Mansion seems to have a simple population and relationships, the people in the mansion have already practiced their hearts and minds.
"I heard about last night." Liuli was reluctant to talk tentatively to these people, so she simply got straight to the point, "Now, the second aunt has news?" ”
Hanqiao shook his head lightly, with a sad expression.
Liuli paid attention to Leng Yu without a trace, and saw that she was silent, but her face was pale, and she looked at Lime from time to time, her eyes were very complicated and difficult to understand, and she didn't know what thoughts were turning in her heart.
Those who have done bad things have no peace of mind. The so-called being a thief is weak-hearted, this is the truth. Even if Leng Yu is ruthless and does not regret doing evil things, he can't be justified in the end.
"I don't think it's the way to go on like this." Liuli spoke again, "This matter, no matter what, I have to inform my father-in-law." ”
"You still don't think it's fierce outside, and those officials laugh at my father for not being good enough?" Wen Yiyun glared.
Liuli faced Wen Zhiyun, but ignored Wen Yiyun, making the latter so angry that she couldn't grab a few bloody cuts on her face.
Wen Zhiyun thought for a while and said, "Liuli is right, my father is the head of the family, and such a big matter must be presided over by my father, otherwise it will become more and more chaotic, and the matter will get bigger and bigger, and I can't suppress it." He said to Han Qiao, "I'm not questioning my aunt's housekeeping skills, but if it goes on like this, I really don't have a clue." ”
"Big sister!" Wen Yiyun stomped her feet, blaming her sister for listening to Liuli's words. But this time, even her eldest sister ignored her.
"What does the eldest lady say?" The eldest aunt asked.
"If you want to tell your father, you don't have to put it on the face like this. The weather is so hot, my father has always been serious in his work, and there are few people to take care of him in the yamen, so when I am a daughter, I don't want to send my father some soup to relieve the heat? What's more......" Wen Zhiyun shook her fan and looked at the sky outside, "It seems that it is going to rain, and my father didn't bring boots that can wade through the rain......" Her meaning was very clear, and she took the opportunity to send something and told Wen Ningzhi in private. What to do in the future, Wen Ningzhi will consider it himself.
In fact, she has already succeeded in such a simple matter. But Liuli and her front and back feet have not had time to mention it.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to look around like this in the house." Wen Zhiyun said again, "The mouths of the people below can't be controlled in the first place, so I am afraid that it will spread endlessly." ”
"What about my sister? I can't leave it alone. Ling Yu, who had been silent, interjected, showing deep sisterly affection, and saw that Liuli kept sneering in her heart.
This Leng Yu is a person who doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, unlike Leng Xiang, selfish and shameless, but he is still cowardly, and he is easy to be used and controlled psychologically. In the final analysis, Leng Yu still didn't believe that it was haunted, for fear that it was man-made, afraid that Leng Xiang would be taken away by someone and say those unbearable and dirty things back then. Otherwise, she wished that the cold incense would disappear from now on.
