Chapter 5 Four or two thousand pounds
At the door of Hemingxuan, Qingcao was turning back and forth with an uneasy face, and his heart was up and down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although Qingyin's words just now were equivalent to admitting that she had stolen the book and ran away, she thought that she had walked on the way to her mother's door, but she still didn't dare to do anything superfluous. What's more, Yue Qianqiu acted as if she was fine, and she didn't care about Qingyin who ran away at all, which also made her see a glimmer of hope.
Maybe Jiu Gongzi was just offended by Qing Yin, so he exposed her stealing books, and he didn't plan to make a fuss?
Because of this, when she saw Qingyin coming here with a middle-aged woman from a distance, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and trotted over.
Facing this red man in the inner courtyard with a long face, high cheekbones, thin lips, extremely ordinary appearance, a new silk dress but looking very decent, and a red gold bracelet on his hand, she smiled and bent her knees, and then said, "Auntie, you are here." ”
"With such a stupid girl who can't even speak, can I give up this face and come over?" scolded Qingyin in his mother's mouth, but there was a mean cold light in his eyes.
How could her daughter, her son, let that little bastard who didn't even know what kind of country grass man his parents were threatening?
"The ninth prince is really out of luck, he just left the young master of Chang'an, and now he is holding chicken feathers as an arrow, scaring the girl!"
Xiang sneered at his mother, didn't look at the grass, and walked straight forward. It wasn't until in front of the door of Heming Xuan that she hesitated for a moment.
Now it is the third master who is in charge of the house, and the third wife is in charge of the house, but the eldest master is the largest official in the entire mansion except for the old lady, and he is already a county guard, so although the eldest lady is only in charge of her own one-third of an acre of land and a few children, her position in this family is unshakable, and even she, the eldest lady's henchman, is everywhere she goes, others respect three points.
But this Hemingxuan is not another place, this is the inner study and bedroom where the old lady lives and sits and sits!
Although he hesitated, in the end, thinking of Yue Qianqiu's humble background, and thinking that he did not have the blood of the Yue family, Xiang Mom still straightened his waist.
She took a deep breath, pushed the door and stepped through the threshold to enter, only to see Yue Qianqiu sitting on the top of the first bookshelf on the left, one foot still hanging down and swaying, holding a thick book in her hand, as if reading with relish.
Finding that Yue Qianqiu was surrounded by no one and didn't even look at himself, Xiang Mother was suddenly annoyed, raised his head and shouted: "Just now the Ninth Prince said that there are fewer books in this Hemingxuan?" ”
Yue Qianqiu took his eyes off the book and glanced at his mother's face, he held his chin with one hand and looked straight at the grass behind him and asked, "Qingcao, when will grandpa's Hemingxuan be able to break into cats and dogs?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Qingcao's face changed, even Qingyin was so angry that she smoked. She rushed forward with an arrow step, pulled her mother's sleeve and shouted, "Mother, listen, he has obviously seen you, but he still pretends to be garlic!" ”
Xiang's mother was also angry, but she still had a bit of a city after all, and pulled Qingyin behind her, but she raised her head and said, "I'm ...... with the eldest wife."
Before she could finish speaking, Yue Qianqiu said with interest: "Oh, it's the person next to the eldest aunt?" It turns out that there is such a rule in the family, and the people around the eldest aunt can take care of the affairs of Grandpa Hemingxuan? ”
Xiang's mother realized that Yue Qianqiu was small but cunning, and every word just now was all about holding the old lady to press her. Knowing that she had underestimated this wild seed, she put away her contempt.
"Nine princes, don't keep bluffing people with the old lady, you are a junior in this mansion, the old lady is not there during the day, since something happened in this Heming Xuan, it is only right for the eldest lady to ask."
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu was really silent, she thought that she had suppressed the other party's arrogance, and immediately held her head high and said: "In this study, you have stayed the longest in the ninth son, listening to Qingyin, I don't know how many books to lose every day, even if there is really one and a half books missing, I don't know if it was not folded and turned over and couldn't be placed on the shelf, so she and Qingcao packed it out?" ”
"Besides, the ninth prince wouldn't have forgotten to bring Hemingxuan's book back to Qingfen Pavilion, right? For this trivial matter, the ninth prince shouted, and the people in the house were in chaos! ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Mother felt that her words were reasonable, and blocked Yue Qianqiu's mouth from all sides, and when she was smug, she didn't want to hear a few crisp high-fives. Looking up, she saw Yue Qianqiu slapping her face, looking at her condescendingly.
"Hemingxuan, but everything with words is managed by Uncle Ying. Qingyin and Qingcao are illiterate, and they usually wipe the ashes and clean the house, even if any books are really torn by me, it is not their turn to pay attention. You said that I would take the book back to Qingfen Pavilion, and when my grandfather came back, I asked him to ask Uncle Ying to go to my place to find it, anyway, I haven't been out of the house, and this book won't run away with long legs. ”
Yue Qianqiu looked at her mother with interest, her face gradually turned pale, and she held her cheeks and said, "Moreover, Hemingxuan lost so many books, this is actually a trivial matter?" ”
Xiang's mother finally felt a little hot in her vest, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead unconsciously. This was the first time she had dealt with Yue Qianqiu head-on, and it wasn't until this time that she realized that she was a little left behind.
She pretended to be calm and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but what she said was an unusually lustful sentence: "Okay, since the ninth prince said so, I will go back to the eldest wife!" ”
Qingyin never dreamed that her mother would come violently, but after being said by Yue Qianqiu, she would be defeated so lightly and skillfully. Seeing that Xiang Xiang mother angrily came out of Hemingxuan, she finally had a deep panic, and she was stunned for a moment before she turned around and ran to chase after her. As soon as their mother and daughter left, the green grass standing in the house was suddenly in a dilemma, and she almost wanted to cry.
"Grandpa is probably coming back soon."
Hearing Yue Qianqiu's muttering, Qingcao hurriedly glanced outside the door, and when she realized that it was past Shen Shi at this time, her heart finally sank. If the old lady doesn't come back, Xiang Mom may be able to take advantage of the momentum of the eldest lady to come up with some countermeasures, but at the moment when the old lady may return to the house at any time, how many cards can Xiang Mom play?
At this moment, she saw Yue Qianqiu put the book in her hand on the bookshelf under her feet, and then quickly climbed down the stairs.
When his feet landed, Yue Qianqiu clapped his hands gently, then looked at Qingcao with a smile and said, "Qingcao, the work here in Hemingxuan should be quite light, don't you say?" ”
Qingcao didn't expect that one day he would be asked such a question by this young ninth prince, and he was completely stunned for a while.
She thought of her mother for a while and thought that the old lady didn't ask clearly yesterday, so she sent the person who claimed to be Yue Qianqiu's uncle to Ying Tianfu to ask. But when she hesitated, she saw the bookshelves that seemed to be full, but in fact they were very missing, and suddenly realized the mistake she had made.
No matter how embarrassing the identity of the ninth prince is, at least he didn't make a mistake this time, but the fault was Qingyin, who dared to steal a book from Hemingxuan!
At this moment, she saw Yue Qianqiu sitting cross-legged without grace, pinching the hair on her head thoughtfully.
"Xiang Mom ran to Hemingxuan and yelled, it was indeed majestic enough. Maybe she will rush to the Qingfen Pavilion in a while and cause a farce that will cause a sensation in Yuefu. I heard that your mother and Xiang's mother are sisters, and they came with the eldest aunt who got married, but their temper is much better, why is there such a big difference between her and Xiang's mother? ”
Thinking that her mother had always been pressed by her shrewd and exposed mother, Qingcao finally made a decision, and immediately bowed with her eyebrows bowed and bowed: "Ninth Prince, the slave suddenly remembered something and wanted to go back. ”
"Well, go early and come back early."
Yue Qianqiu raised his head and looked at the back of the grass that ran away with a smoke, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yesterday, the old lady Yue had already come forward to solve a robber turmoil, how could today's book theft incident let the old man go out again?
Moreover, he wanted to see if there was a big wife in the house who was stunned by everyone in the house except for Xiang Mom after Ding Youcai yesterday!
