Chapter 015: Search
The front hall has always been a place for the host to eat, Song Zi'an is away all the year round, Song Juntong and Song Jin can only eat in the room, usually there is only a third person at the dinner table for only two people at the moment, or the concubine she is most unaccustomed to, Mrs. Pei has to say a few words.
"Why is Jin'er here today?" Taking out her gentle image of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Pei said to Song Jin, who was drinking porridge silently.
Today's Song Jian from the morning to the present, but also gave Song Jiaqing a very different impression from the past to think too much about herself, with a little Aunt Wan acting cautiously, but Song Jiaqing was not used to seeing Mrs. Pei's redundant and strong at the beginning, after getting acquainted with Aunt Wan, her little bird let Song Jiaqing satisfy the man's desire to protect, and was able to enter the door of the Song Mansion.
Different from Aunt Wan, Song Hibiscus is a prickly person, and she will not defend herself well after being bullied, so as to provoke Song Jiaqing's dissatisfaction, but Song Hibiscus, who came back from the ancestral hall, seems to have completely changed a person, abandoning the original swelling surface self-esteem, and her dress has also changed her strong style in the past, and she has a little bit of a feeling of being a girl in the boudoir, and at the same time, she has also become compromised and does not blindly shirk to others, which makes Song Jiaqing very happy to see it, and naturally, in the face of Mrs. Pei's question, Seeing Song Jin's face that was a little afraid to speak, he helped her speak:
"It's all a family, and when I came out of the plum garden this morning, I saw that she was looking for a maid, so I called her directly to the front hall."
Mrs. Pei continued:
"Why aren't the girls here, it can't be that someone wants to please the master."
Looking at today's Song Hibiscus and Song Kaqing's attitude, Mrs. Pei felt uncomfortable, so she said that she wanted to expose Song Hibiscus's hypocrisy. It's a pity that she doesn't know that Song Hibiscus has changed a soul under her skin, and in the face of Mrs. Pei's words, Song Hibiscus in the past may immediately refute it, but now Gu Yuyin, who is bent on subduing Song Jiaqing first, can't, relying on memory, learning from Aunt Wan's scared look, her small body shrunk into a ball, and said tentatively towards Mrs. Pei:
"Mother, I, I didn't..."
This trick is really applicable to Song Jiaqing, in the past, Song Jin's tendon often faced Mrs. Pei with direct and powerful refutations, and the result was naturally no good end, maybe it was because of this that he died and gave Gu Yuyin a chance to be reborn.
Gu Yuyin and Song Jin have been friends for many years, and they occupy her body at the moment, so they naturally want to avenge her, Gu Yuyin whispered:
"Qing'er, Yan'er really didn't come today."
"Dead girl still dares to talk back?" When Mrs. Pei saw Gu Yuyin like this, her eyes gradually overlapped with Aunt Wan's face, and she slapped the table and said angrily.
"Enough!" Song Kaqing scolded that Mrs. Pei's mother's family has been declining in recent years, and she is about to be promoted to prime minister, and she doesn't want to be angry with her every day, so she has come out for Song Jin at this moment.
"Someone," Mrs. Pei broke out for a moment when the contradiction that had been hidden for a long time with Song Jiaqing broke out, and she pointed to the grandmother who delivered the meal and said:
"You go find it for me, turn this mansion over, and bring Qing'er and Yan'er to see me."
Mrs. Pei only thought that Song Jin deliberately hid Qing'er and Yan'er, so as to take the opportunity to ease the relationship with Song Jiaqing, but she didn't know that Qing'er and Yan'er had already died, and even the corpses had already been dealt with by Chi Xiaoyu overnight.
Song Jiaqing didn't speak, but continued to use breakfast, perhaps to anger Mrs. Pei, and specially used chopsticks to clip a side dish for Song Hibiscus, and said:
"Aunt Wan loves to eat this, and you may love to eat it too."
Gu Yuyin immediately pretended to be flattered and said:
"Thank you, father, I love it."
Even if it was a dish that he had never liked in his previous life, Gu Yuyin at this moment ate it without changing his face, smiled at Song Jiaqing obediently, and fell in the eyes of Mrs. Pei, this scene of father and daughter and Shundang was really an eyesore.
The three of them ate breakfast unhurriedly, and when the housekeeper came to the front hall, the meal had been taken down, and they were waiting for Yan'er and Qing'er to be brought.
But it was the housekeeper alone, with a group of subordinates behind him, Yan'er and Qing'er were the people personally selected by Mrs. Pei, so they naturally recognized them, but they didn't see them at the moment.
"What about people," Mrs. Pei put the teacup in her hand on the table and made a crisp sound: "Didn't you go to find Qing'er and Yan'er?" ”
"Madam, I've searched all over the house, but I really haven't seen them." The housekeeper also wondered, he had searched up and down the Song Mansion, but he really didn't see Song Jin's maid, how could the two living people disappear like this?
"Are you sure you've searched them all?" Song Kaqing asked.
"Also, there is the Peach Blossom Pavilion of the eldest lady." Ordinary people naturally didn't dare to enter such a place, and even took the housekeeper to search for it, so they naturally chose to skip it, and only dared to reply when Song Jiaqing asked a question.
"Check it out!" Mrs. Pei was angry at the moment, she didn't want people to think that she had hidden Qing'er and Yan'er, and took the initiative to ask the housekeeper to take someone to investigate, but she didn't know how much she regretted saying these two words.
Seeing the housekeeper hurrying away with his subordinates, Gu Yuyin said to Song Jiaqing Shili:
"Then father, I'll go back first."
"Wait, you come with me to the Peach Blossom Pavilion to see how they checked." Song Kaoqing stopped Gu Yuyin's whereabouts, Gu Yuyin naturally guessed that Song Kaoqing would be like this, from this morning, everything she did revealed the negligence of the people in the mansion on weekdays, and planted this seed in Song Kaqing's heart, and at the same time, under the premise that everyone in the mansion could not find it but did not search the Peach Blossom Pavilion, she naturally understood the majesty of Mrs. Pei on weekdays, and she was also a little sure of the speculation that Song Hibiscus was being mistreated, at this moment Song Hibiscus said that she was leaving, perhaps because she was afraid of Mrs. Pei's bullying, Naturally, Song Jiaqing has a great possibility to stand out for her.
Gu Yuyin's first calculation after being reborn was very successful.
Without looking at Mrs. Pei's distorted face, he followed Song Jiaqing to the Peach Blossom Pavilion.
The plum garden is naturally not as magnificent as the Peach Blossom Pavilion, Song Jiaqing only then noticed this, although there is a difference between wives and concubines, but the plum garden where Aunt Wan lives is too shabby, and she made up her mind to go back and repair the plum garden, Song Jiaqing took Song Hibiscus into the Peach Blossom Pavilion, and at this moment the housekeeper is leading his subordinates to search each room.
Different from the simple and rude when searching other places, Song Jiaqing sat at the table in Mrs. Pei's room, watching everyone search with full care, this is Song Jiaqing looked at the respect they didn't have for themselves, and once again became angry and dissatisfied with Mrs. Pei in his heart.
When a maid searched the wardrobe by the window but accidentally touched a hairpin, the maid looked at the broken hairpin on the ground, kowtowed to Mrs. Pei and said, "Madam, the slave didn't mean it, it really didn't mean it." ”
She remembered that the last maid who broke Mrs. Pei's jewelry was sold directly to the lowest Qinglou, and she still had parents at home, and she didn't want to end up like that.
Mrs. Pei didn't expect the girl to react so quickly, so she pretended to be generous and walked over, personally helped the maid up and said:
"You girl, just a hairpin, if it's broken, it's broken, don't be afraid."
The maid also roughly guessed that this was because Song Kaqing was there, and after standing up, her body trembled slightly like a sieve, and she closed her mouth.
"Pack up the hairpins, and go out when you're done." Seeing that the other people had gradually stopped moving, Mrs. Pei was proud in her heart, even if she came to supervise it in person, Yan'er and Qing'er were still not with me.
Although she doesn't know why Yan'er and Qing'er disappeared, as long as she doesn't get involved with herself, there will not be a large number of Yan'er and Qing'er around Song Jin in the future.
The little maid picked up the hairpin that was broken into three knots on the ground, held it in the palm of her hand and prepared to walk out, but when she passed by the door, she was accidentally glanced at the hairpin in her hand Song Jiaqing shouted to stop: "Stop." ”
The maid listened to the footsteps, and her heart beat violently again.
"Show me the hairpin." Song Kaqing raised his hand at her.
The maid couldn't refute it, so she had to approach. At this moment, Mrs. Pei is not aware of the seriousness of the matter, and thinks that the maid broke an ordinary hairpin, no matter how Song Jiaqing looks at it, can she still see a flower?
The maid put the hairpin on the table, Song Jiaqing looked at it carefully, and said to Song Jin with a questioning tone:
"This hairpin is like your courtesy?"
Gu Yuyin was overjoyed in her heart, she didn't expect the hairpin she put in her hand last night to come in handy so early, not forgetting that it was still Song Hibiscus at the moment, and said, "I look a little familiar." ”
Song Jiaqing only thought that Song Jin was afraid of Mrs. Pei, and said:
"Yes, I'm here, you just have to say it."
"This hairpin is indeed a gift from my father."
