Volume 1: Seeking a Husband Chapter 50 Gains and Losses (Part II)
Du Ruoge, Qing Ruchu sat sullenly in front of the pavilion window, her face was no longer bright.
Just came out of the Yunluo Courtyard, everyone walked to the small garden and dispersed, Qingru saw the old lady's face ugly for the first time, so she knelt down and admitted her mistake, but the old lady was counted down.
Song walked into the room, sat down across from her, and said, "Chu'er's kneeling leg hurts, right?" ”
Qing Ruchu's gaze was fixed in the void and she was silent, and tears condensed in her eyes, when did she suffer such a grievance.
Purple Sleeves said on the side: "The road in the small garden is paved with cobblestones, and the girl's leg must be injured on her knees." The old lady's words are too heavy, how can the girl not be serious, is it difficult to watch the eldest girl beat the third girl to a good ......"
"Shut up!"
Song scolded coldly, and Purple Sleeves trembled in fright, and immediately swallowed the rest of the words. Song didn't spare her, "Your mouth is going to cause trouble for the second girl sooner or later, why don't I ask someone to sew it for you?" ”
Purple sleeves plopped and knelt down: "The slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid just feel sorry for the girl, and the lady goes around the slave and maid......"
"Hmph, come on, drag the purple sleeves out to beat ten boards, and then deduct half a year's monthly money!"
"Madame! You go around the slave maid! Second girl, the slave maid is because she feels sorry for you, you can say something for the slave maid......"
Qing Ruchu raised her eyes and said: "The gossip about the eldest sister in the house before came from you, and when the time comes, grandmother will definitely inquire about you. ”
Purple sleeves stopped talking for a while when she heard this, and kowtowed obediently: "Yes, the slave and maid understand...... "Ten boards can't kill people, besides, they are all mothers-in-law in their yard, and they are also serious, but it is better to lose some face than to be punished by the old lady at that time." The month before that half a year was not a problem, and the girl usually rewarded her much more than the monthly money.
After a while, there was a muffled sound of hitting the board in the courtyard, and the sound of purple sleeves whimpering.
Song evened his breath, kicked everyone else out, and said to Qing Ruchu: "Are you young and don't know how to be flexible, and when you see that things have changed, you should stop in time." ”
"My daughter doesn't understand why that bottle of Ice Muscle Jade Dew turned into a balm."
"Either Qingru Xu found out early in the morning and switched things around. Or something went wrong. ”
Qing Ruchu raised her eyes suddenly: "It's impossible for her to find out, with her temperament, if she found out that the fishing boat stole the ice muscle jade dew, she would have made a fuss a long time ago." ”
"I think so too." The Song family personally applied the stasis cream to Qing Ruchu, the gesture was gentle, but the words in his mouth were very cold: "As long as no one doubts us, it is not a big deal, everything can be calculated from the beginning, and Chu'er does not have to worry." ”
………………
Qing Ruxu returned to the Wuju and took a few deep breaths before calming down.
Lan Zhou carefully closed the doors and windows, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, what should we do?" The second girl, the fishing boat, and the scene where everyone gathered...... It's all premeditated! ”
"You're right, although the matter is small, there are a lot of people involved...... Qing Ruxu inserted her index finger into her sideburns in pain, and closed her eyes tightly. Whether it is the fishing boat that stole the ice muscle jade dew, or Qing Ruchu who provoked the incident and fell into the ground, or even the Song family who let the situation develop. Their purpose is very clear, that is, to make her fall out of favor in the house and lose her trust.
Lan Zhou felt very uncomfortable when he saw her like this, "The slave maid still can't believe that the lady and the second girl would do such a thing, but the facts are in front of ......"
Qing Ruxu's voice was a little hoarse: "Then what do you think I should do?" ”
Lan Zhou lowered his voice very low: "Girl, although the slaves don't know why, there is no doubt that they want to harm you!" You should tell the old lady about it, or tell the old man! ”
Qing Ruxu shook her head slowly: "Even if everyone knows about it, in the end, it is only a conclusion that it is stolen by fishing boats." And the second sister, whether it was the dispute at the beginning or the later ventilation report, as long as a sentence of 'misunderstanding and coincidence' can be resolved. What do we gain by just disposing of a small fishing boat? Instead, it startled the snake. ”
Shizhou was resentful, stomped his feet and said, "Is that it?" ”
Qing Ruchu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "At the beginning, I also wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end, I wanted to ask the second sister why she treated me like this, what was wrong with her, she wanted to calculate me so carefully." But now, I don't think that I can get the answer by making a big fuss, so let this matter pass quietly, and we will pretend that we don't know anything, and think about it in the long run...... "This trick of casting a long line to catch a big fish is something she learned from Jiang Rin."
"What about the fishing boats? It's too dangerous to leave her with the girl! "Whether it's picking the lock, or putting the ice muscle jade dew in the makeup, it makes Shizhou have palpitations.
"Don't worry, in the past, it was the enemy who was dark and I was clear, but now it is the enemy who is dark and I am dark, what are you afraid of? She is the best bait, leave her, we will know what she has done to me, and what will she do to me......" Qing Ruxu stopped and advised: "You remember, you must not show clues, so as not to let people see the flaws, the people in our yard must be checked one by one, in order to know the enemy and me." ”
"Yes, girl." Lan Zhou replied cautiously, and said: "Just came out of the Yunluo Courtyard, the slave maid saw Sister Bai Zhu beside the old lady and asked casually, Sister Bai Zhu said that after the girl left Songhe Hall, Mrs. said that she wanted the girl in the house to learn to be a housekeeper, so the three ladies did not leave. After a while, the second girl went back to Songhetang, saying that you went to the third girl angrily, and I am afraid that it will be bad, so let my grandmother go and see it quickly. ”
The mother and daughter have calculated all the joints. Qing Ruxu narrowed her eyes slightly, "Who was the person who spoke in front of my grandmother before?" ”
"It's Zhou Niangzi from the small kitchen of Songhetang, and it's the mother of the fishing boat. In the morning she brought a new snack to the old lady to taste, and said, 'The eldest girl will be in a bad mood, and it will be good to have some sweets.' If the old lady thinks it is good, the slave maid will do more to send it to the eldest girl', and when the old lady hears that you are in a bad mood, of course she has to ask why! Zhou Niangzi hurriedly said that she had said the wrong thing, but the old lady already knew that something was wrong, and when she was pressed, she said it all. ”
Because she is good at her craftsmanship, the girls who make dim sum like it very much, so she often makes fresh dim sum for the old lady to taste, and then gives a copy to the eldest girl. So no one noticed that there was anything wrong, they just thought that she was talking for a while. If it weren't for the fact that she had gone through everything from beginning to end by the girl's side, the slave would have thought that Zhou Niangzi was just a moment of negligence. ”
Qing Ruxu frowned: "Zhou Niangzi is also an old man who has served her grandmother for many years, if the fishing boat is Qing Ru's original person, then Zhou Niangzi must also be ......" A strong uneasiness suddenly rose in her heart, and she became more and more incomprehensible.
The Song family has been a housekeeper for many years, and no one in the house says that she is bad, and there are naturally many people's hearts towards her. But the people in each courtyard are different. If you are not loyal to your master and do things for others, someone must have bought them on purpose.
What did Song do when she bought the people in her yard? And what are you buying people in your grandmother's yard for?
If it is to control this family, how to explain this incident? So, there can only be one reason.
Song's had a plan early in the morning.
Qing Ruxu suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and the chill rose from the center of her feet and flowed to her limbs. From childhood to adulthood, everyone said that the Song family took her like a daughter, and she was reluctant to scold her, even Qing Ruchu was not as good as ......
"What the hell is true?" She covered her cheeks with her hands, tears spilling down the gaps between her fingers, cold.
"Girl......" Lan Zhou knew that this incident hit her very hard, and she didn't know how to persuade her for a while, so she raised her eyes to look at the boat.
"Let me be quiet for a moment." Qing Ruxu hugged her arms and lay on the table, buried her face in the crook of her arms, and said sullenly.
Lan Zhou and Shizhou glanced at each other, and retreated to the side to guard her quietly.
Qing Ruxu was buried in the dark, and tears kept coming from her eyes.
The past of her past life flowed through her mind over and over again......
She remembered that when she was young, her grandmother once said to her: "Stepmother is not good, I don't dare to say a word for fear of complaining, so Xiao Song can only blindly treat you, but with your father, he will not indulge you too much, and grandmother will always teach you to distinguish between right and wrong. ”
At that time, she was still young and didn't understand the meaning of this, but now that she thinks about it, her grandmother has already told her clearly that Xiao Song's kindness to her is not only out of her aunt's love, but also out of the compulsion of human nature, half of it is sincere, and half of it is for others to see.
So, how much of this half of sincerity is true?
For more than ten years, she has achieved a good reputation of being virtuous and virtuous, and has been recognized by her father and grandmother, and her status in the family has become increasingly entrenched and easily unshaken......
Qing Ruxu looked up sharply.
Is that so? She was a pawn of the little Song clan to capture his grandmother and father......
Xiao Song's kindness to her is half to kill, and half to show others!
And Qing Ruchu, under the pretext of sisterhood, how many benefits did she claim from her? Whenever she wants something, she doesn't ask the Song family or her father, she comes to tell herself. If you have it, give it to her directly, and if you don't have it, find a way to satisfy her.
Qing Ruxu unconsciously tightened her fists.
Pain is followed by anger!
She began to tremble uncontrollably, she was not a sage and had never attained enlightenment, she could not be unmoved and not angry.
What's more, she has gone through two lives, and everything in her previous life is still as clear as yesterday!
