Chapter 151, rummaging, to whom is in whose hands?
My grandmother brought a mother-in-law into the door, looking at the appearance of this mother-in-law is not from an ordinary family, and the rules for entering it are enough, first saluted Qu Moying, and then took out a letter from her arms with a smile, bowed her head and handed it over respectfully, "Miss Qu Si, this is our letter from the side concubine." ”
"Letter? But what's the matter? When Yuchun stepped forward to pick it up, Qu Moying raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The slave doesn't know, Miss Qu Si, please read the letter first." The mother-in-law smiled, her words and deeds were very decent.
Qu Moying was silent, took the letter in Yuchun's hand, looked at it at a glance, waited for it to read, and then turned around and stood aside to accompany my grandmother who sent it over: "My grandmother, do you know that my mother has a pair of bracelets that were brought over by my grandmother?" ”
"What bracelet?" My grandmother was also stunned for a moment, it was polite for her to accompany the mother-in-law of the East Palace, after all, the subordinates of the prince's mansion were not as good as ordinary subordinates, even if they were sent by the side concubine, they could not be underestimated.
Qu Moying looked at the letter again, and read it casually: "A pair of jade bracelets of red jade, said to be blood jade, and there are tear-shaped emeralds on them, which are extremely precious. ”
My grandmother's gaze also swept to the letter, needless to say, this letter must have mentioned this pair of blood jade bracelets, is it the side concubine of the East Palace? Why did she mention this pair of blood jade bracelets?
After churning in his heart for a few times, he saw that Qu Moying had already finished reading and turned to himself, and hurriedly thought about it, the original thing was too long, and the Yue family had passed away for a long time, in fact, there were many things that my grandmother couldn't remember, but she really had an image of this pair of blood jade bracelets.
When the Yue family entered the door, when they came to see Mrs. Tai for the first time, they wore this pair of blood jade bracelets, and then Mrs. Tai also said that the Yue family really deserved to be a Jiangnan family, and the background was very sufficient.
After a period of time, Yue's has been wearing, other bracelets are rarely inlaid with gemstones, only Yue's is a tear-shaped gemstone, and it is green, the red blood jade is more and more crystal clear, extremely beautiful, and also reflects Yue's complexion like jade, extremely brilliant.
"It looks like there are a pair of bracelets like this." Mama Wu hesitated, but still said bluntly.
"Do you know where I went? Concubine Ji asked me to wear it tomorrow, and when the Yue clan married my aunt and mother-in-law, they each gave a pair, my aunt's was in the East Palace, and my mother's was in Qufu, so I would take it over tomorrow. Qu Moying said softly.
"This old slave will ask Mrs. Tai later." Mama Wu only hesitated for a moment, but she answered, but her face was a little strange.
Qu Moying replied to the mother-in-law who turned to the East Palace, and said gently: "You go back to your concubine Niangniang first, and say that I already know, and I will definitely do as I am ordered tomorrow." ”
"Miss Qu Si, the slave maid farewell!" The mother-in-law of the East Palace saw that the matter was done, and said with a smile.
"Mama Miao, give it away." Qu Moying commanded.
Mama Qu on the side took two steps forward and saluted the mother-in-law of the East Palace, and then led the way in front and walked out with the mother-in-law of the East Palace.
"My grandmother, what's the inconvenience?" After the people left, Qu Moying asked.
"There's nothing inconvenient, the fourth lady is waiting here first, and the slave maid will go to report to Mrs. Tai, there are some things...... Now it is all in the hands of the second lady, and it is inconvenient for the slave and maid to ask for it directly. My grandmother laughed dryly, with a little embarrassment.
"There's Mama Lao." Qu Moying stood up disappreliantly and bowed deeply to my grandmother.
"Fourth Miss is polite, the slave will go and talk back to Mrs. Tai now." My grandmother hurriedly returned the salute, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Tai's Kang Mingzhai.
When I arrived in Kang Mingzhai, my grandmother sighed heavily, hesitated a little in front of the main house, and went to the house behind the curtain raised by the little girl.
Mrs. Qu sat on it, saw her come back, and asked casually: "What's the matter with that side concubine?" Why did you suddenly find the shadow girl here? ”
This Concubine Ji actually has nothing to do with her granddaughter, if it was the original princess, Mrs. Tai didn't think anything, it was only because of this Concubine Ji that it was strange.
Most people praised the reason why Concubine Ji entered the East Palace, but only a few people were quite unimpressed, and Mrs. Qu happened to be one of them.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Qufu, and against the previous Ling Anbo Mansion, Qufu is also much weaker, and Mrs. Tai herself is not a broken mouth, so naturally she will not say anything outside, but now that this Concubine Ji has found her granddaughter, the meaning of this has made Mrs. Qu not like it very much.
"Concubine Ji gave Miss Four a letter, and the old slave didn't know what it was, but after Miss Fourth read the letter, she asked the old slave about the second lady back then, saying that when the second lady got married, did she bring a pair of blood jade bracelets!" My grandmother reported on 1510.
Although Mrs. Tai was old, she still had the memory of this incident, and after thinking about it sideways, she asked, "But that pair of blood jade bracelets with two teardrop-shaped emeralds falling?" ”
This pair of bracelets is so chic, Mrs. Tai also remembered it.
"Yes, it's that pair of bracelets, I heard that it means that Mrs. Ling Anbo also accompanied a pair, and it seems that our fourth lady will wear this pair of blood jade bracelets tomorrow."
Mama Wu said with her own understanding, Qu Moying didn't elaborate, and it was inconvenient for her to ask more, and she was also extremely upset at that time, so she didn't knock on the side.
"What does this Concubine Ji want to do?" Mrs. Tai muttered to herself, her brows furrowed tightly, with a little displeasure.
"The old slave doesn't know, it seems to be related to the crown princess, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it." Mama Wu responded, looked at Mrs. Tai hesitantly and said, "Mrs. Tai, are these things in the inventory, or are they in the hands of the second lady?" ”
Mama Wu clearly knew that the dowry of the Yue family was locked up by Mrs. Tai back then, and only said that it would be left to Qu Moying in the future, and the Yu family was still weak at that time, so she didn't dare to say anything, but after so many years, this inner courtyard has always fallen into the hands of the Yu family, and it is not clear whether it is all there now.
But one thing is for sure, at least she hadn't seen the bracelets in Yu's hands.
"Go and check, if you have it, bring it, if you don't...... Hurry up and pay back. Mrs. Tai said in a deep voice.
My grandmother nodded, went to the back room to get the keys, and went out with a bunch of keys, but after a while she ran back, sweating profusely.
Looking at her empty hands, Mrs. Tai's face immediately became difficult: "What, no?" ”
"Mrs. Tai, the old slave went to open the warehouse over there, first there was a mother-in-law who stopped him from entering, saying that he had an order from the second lady, and then said that the inner courtyard is now under the control of the third lady, and he wants to listen to the third lady, the old slave was angry, pulled the mother-in-law away, opened the warehouse directly, and found that at least half of the things in it were missing."
My grandmother reports.
"What, so much?" Mrs. Tai stood up suddenly.
"Yes, the old slave still took a general look, but I heard the mother-in-law who guarded the door say that the things in it were all moved to the Qianyue Residence where the fourth lady lives now, which is not a little, and the old slave did not bring the list over at this time, and he couldn't find it out for a while." My grandmother said.
Hearing her say this, Mrs. Tai's expression eased a little, and she sat down again, "What about the pair of bracelets?" ”
Put the things that are checked right for the time being, and she will definitely let Yu spit out the things in Yu's hands, but now is not the time to check this.
This Concubine Ji is fascinated, which is the most important thing for Mrs. Tai now.
"The old slave was not found." My grandmother spread her hands and said.
"It must be Yu's place, you take a few people to look through Yu's dressing table." Mrs. Tai's eyes flashed slightly, and she said angrily.
"Mrs. Tai, the old slave has never seen it in the hands of the second lady, nor has he seen it in the hands of the third lady." My grandmother said suspiciously.
"If it's not at the second lady's place, it's bound to be at Yan Yatou's." Mrs. Tai snorted coldly.
"Yes, the old slave will check it now." My grandmother retreated in response, called a few rough mothers-in-law and Yahuan in the yard, and took a few people to Yu's Qingyuyuan.
What's more, I heard that the second master also beat the second lady and knocked the second lady unconscious, is Mrs. Tai going to come forward to punish the second lady?
It looks like the backyard of this Qufu is about to change.
"What, my grandmother went to my mother's yard to see my mother's makeup?" Qu Qiuyan stood up suddenly, her face turned pale, and she pressed her hand hard in front of the dressing table, and she looked a little hideous in the mirror.
"Yes, it's like this, it was a little girl in the lady's yard who saw it outside the window, as if she asked Mrs. a few words, Aunt Hailan went to stop it, and was slapped by my grandmother, and then she didn't dare to say anything, only heard the sound of rummaging through the cabinets inside, as if she was looking for a pair of bracelets."
A mother-in-law named Mama Qing, who was following Qu Qiuyan, reported in a low voice.
This mother-in-law was recommended by the Yu family, and she was not Qu Qiuyan's henchman in the past, nor did she follow Qu Qiuyan from time to time, she was just an ordinary mother-in-law in Qu Qiuyan's yard, very inconspicuous, but she had done things recently to satisfy Qu Qiuyan, and she became Qu Qiuyan's confidant.
"I know, let that little girl go back first, don't let my grandmother find out." Qu Qiuyan took a hard breath, waved her hand to signal her mother-in-law to step back, and then calmed down the anger in her heart and calmed herself down, bracelet? What bracelet, what bracelet would make my grandmother send someone to my mother to turn it over?
It must be the kind of bracelet that is priceless?
Something suddenly came to mind, stood up straight, pushed open a drawer in front of him, and pulled out a beautiful box from the innermost, and after opening it, a pair of smooth blood jade bracelets lay quietly inside......
