Chapter 249: White Radish Case!
The thrush just told a lie, but he ended up being kicked out of the house, and even the affected family members were sold, it seems that the punishment is heavier, but Cen Xiyan doesn't sympathize with her at all, there is a way: Heaven is still evil, and you can't live if you do it yourself! This kind of person who flatters his master and frames others for his own interests is inherently problematic, and today he is just doing a small bad thing that is not too big, and if he is not punished and has a fluke mentality, he may not be able to do something in the future.
Cen Xiyan saw that Old Taijun Cen's face was fine at this moment, and he had lost his previous anger, so he straightened up and spoke again: "Grandmother, the thrush lied, Jingshuang didn't scold the eighth sister for what she said, so don't you need to call the other slaves of the eighth sister who are here today, and ask again?" ”
Hearing Cen Xiyan's proposal, the maids and mothers-in-law of Cen Xifen in the outer room couldn't help but turn white, and some people's bodies trembled involuntarily.
They all heard what was happening in the room clearly, and the fate of the thrush really scared them, so they went in and continued to describe the situation at that time? If you want to tell the truth, Miss Eight will definitely not give them good fruits to eat in the future, learn thrush to lie? If the lie is exposed, the fate of the thrush will be their fate!
Just when the maids and mothers-in-law outside were worried and uneasy, for fear of calling themselves, Cen Xifen didn't wait for Cen to speak at this time, and suddenly opened his mouth and intercepted Cen Xiyan's words!
"Humph! Even if that maid of yours didn't say anything nasty to me, it's a fact that she bumped into me! Cen Xifen's attitude suddenly hardened, she was just subconsciously covering up her weakness, she didn't dare to let her slaves come in and make up nonsense, it would be bad if she was caught again.
Cen Xiyan glanced at Cen Xifen, just such a faint look, but it made Cen Xifen feel frightened, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had said the wrong thing again?
Cen Xiyan looked at Jingshuang and asked, "Jingshuang, did you bump into Miss Eight?" ”
In Jingshuang's statement before, he had already said that he hadn't bumped into Cen Xifen, and Cen Xiyan deliberately asked again, in order to deepen everyone's impression and exaggerate the atmosphere.
Jingshuang shook her head and replied in a formal manner: "If you go back to Miss Six, the slave maid did not hit Miss Eight. ”
"You talk nonsense! You've bumped into Miss Ben! "If it has been exported, Cen Xifen is not good at changing his words again and again, and at this moment he can only bite the crystal frost and hold on.
She thought, she has a lot of witnesses, Jingshuang and Baiguo have two mouths, and they can't say that there are so many of them, although the truth is not the case, but you don't need those girls and mothers-in-law to describe the words, just nod and identify Jingshuang, so you can't go wrong, right?
Cen Xiyan didn't look at Cen Xifen at all, and turned to Bai Guo, who was cowering aside, and asked, "Bai Guo, what about the ingredients you and Jingshuang went to the big kitchen to get today, what about the food basket?" ”
"Back to ...... If you go back to Miss Six, the food basket is all outside, Sister Yingxue. Bai Guo's voice was very small, but everyone in the room could hear it clearly.
The two food baskets were asked to be carried by Yingxue before coming to Furong Garden, and then Yingxue didn't have to drag Mrs. He, Yingxue took one, and just now she was called in the inner room, and the two vegetable baskets were taken care of by Yingxue outside.
Before, Bai Guo was still puzzled, why did Yingxue have to bring the two baskets of ingredients, and when she heard Cen Xiyan ask at this moment, she couldn't help but think in her heart, it was still Sister Yingxue who understood Miss Six. Although she still doesn't understand what the use of taking those two baskets of ingredients is.
"Grandmother, can I let my maid Yingxue bring in those two baskets of ingredients?" Cen Xiyan looked at Old Taijun Cen and asked.
At this moment, not only Bai Guo was puzzled, but the people in the house, including Old Mrs. Cen, were puzzled, Cen Xiyan asked people to come in with a vegetable basket to do something.
However, Old Taijun Cen still nodded and agreed to Cen Xiyan's request, "Okay, let your maid bring in the vegetable basket." ”
The old lady's eldest maid, Qiu Ju, turned around and went to the outside room and called Yingxue in.
Yingxue came in with two vegetable baskets, put the vegetable baskets on the ground, and saluted all the masters of the house in a proper manner, and greeted her, her performance was no different from that of a big girl who had been cultivated by a high-ranking aristocratic family since she was a child, humble and moderate, and generous and decent, where she looked like a rough girl who grew up in the countryside!
Cen Lao Taijun also noticed the big girl beside Cen Xiyan for the first time, and couldn't help nodding secretly, it seems that Jingshuang's calm atmosphere is not accidental, the six girls are really good at training people, and then she thought of the thrush that was just taken out, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, it seems that she is old, she has no energy to discipline in the past few years, and some people in the house are getting more and more unlooking!
"Jingshuang, ginkgo seeds, these two vegetable baskets, which one of you each mentioned at that time?" Cen Xiyan asked.
Hearing Cen Xiyan ask, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on the two vegetable baskets, and they saw that the two vegetable baskets were one large and one small, the small basket was filled with fine ingredients, the amount was not much, but they were all very expensive, and the big basket was filled with a bunch of white radish, piled high, if it was not held steadily, the radish inside would be spilled.
"Back to Miss Six, Sister Jingshuang understands the young age of the slave maid, and let the slave maid take the small vegetable basket." Bai Guo replied. When he spoke, his face was still slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he was also grateful for Jingshuang's kindness.
Jingshuang also replied: "If you go back to Miss Liu, the slave maid is holding the basket with white radish. ”
Cen Xiqin couldn't help but interject curiously: "Why did you take so many white radish?" ”
This time it was Yingxue who replied, "If you go back to Miss Seven, this white radish is used to make sour radish, and our sixth lady likes to eat that one the most." After a pause, he continued: "Usually, the slave maid goes to the big kitchen to get the ingredients, but today because the slave maid is boiling the soup for pickling sour radish, and she has to watch the fire at all times, Sister Jingshuang brought the ginkgo and went for the slave maid." ”
Yingxue is telling the truth, she is very particular about the ingredients she uses to cook, and she is not at ease with the ingredients selected by others, so Jingshuang, who grew up together since childhood, understands some of her habits, so she can rest assured that Jingshuang will go, but she didn't expect to go to this scene today, she felt very guilty.
At this time, Cen Xiyan spoke again, "Grandmother, you see, what Jingshuang is holding is such a basket full of white radish, if it really hits the eighth sister, wouldn't it be a radish scattered all over the ground?" ”
As if she had found a weakness that could be attacked, Cen Xifen immediately answered in a loud voice: "That's right! The turnip had fallen to the ground! There must still be a mark on the ground now! ”
Cen Xiyan said again: "When I arrived at the scene, the radish did fall to the ground, but the fact I saw was that the servants of the eighth sister pushed Jingshuang, and the radish fell to the ground. ”
"You talk nonsense! Obviously, it was the crystal frost that hit me, and I dropped the radish on the ground! ”
"Really?" Cen Xiyan sneered, "Everyone has seen that there is a lot of soil on the skin of this white radish, if it hits the eighth sister, then the eighth sister will definitely be stained with dirt, right?" Eighth sister, you might as well let us see, where are your clothes dirty? ”
