Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Family of Cousins and Cousins
Yin Zhutou took the people, and according to the appearance described by Huang Xiaopu, he inquired in the vegetable market street and the vegetable market alley, and soon inquired about this person.
This man's name is Sun Wanqing, a native of Xianghe, who has been selling vegetables on the vegetable market street for several years, and most of the people here know him.
It's a pity that Yin Zhutou didn't catch anyone, and the people in the vegetable market street pointed to an empty stall and said: "That's Sun Wanqing's vegetable stall, he came out of the stall early in the morning, and then somehow, he hurriedly collected the stall and left, I asked him why he was in such a hurry, he said that his cousin was talking, there was an urgent matter at home, and he wanted to hurry back to his hometown." ”
"His cousin? Is it also in the capital? Yin Zhutou asked.
"Yes, I heard that she was a maid in a big family, and she had two taels of silver a month, and Sun Wanqing didn't come out of the stall a few days ago, saying that he was helping his cousin run errands, so he apologized for ten taels of silver, which was very showy." The man sighed, he sold vegetables for two months, and he didn't eat or drink, and he didn't have more than ten taels of silver left.
Yin Zhutou could only escort the yellow puppy and the guys from the bee garden back first, Qin Wei listened to Yin Zhutou's words, and then looked at Master Hua: "Lord Huahou, I don't know if there is a maid from Xianghe in your mansion?" ”
The temples on both sides of Master Hua jumped suddenly, whether there were any maids from Xianghe in Qingyuan Mansion, he didn't know, but Mrs. Cai was really from Xianghe, and there were many people in the capital who knew about it.
"This ...... You also need to ask the housekeeper to take a look at the roster. "Master Hua Da is like being stuck in the throat by a fish bone, and his voice is light and floating, as if the fish bone can penetrate his throat and drill out with a little force in the next moment.
"Hey, I remember Cousin Cai's maid, what is Laneige, she was brought by Cousin Cai from Xianghe, and she must be from Xianghe."
Hua Jingyao's voice sounded coldly, Master Hua was excited, isn't it, Mrs. Lu was still talking to him a while ago, saying that the Cai cousin girl is as poor as she is, and even the maid brought from Xianghe has to pay the Houfu money.
Qin Wei's face turned cold, and he said, "Come on, go and call that Lanzhi over." ”
The maid of the Hou Mansion said that she would be arrested, not to mention that this Lanzhi is still the maid of the cousin, and she is not from the Hou Mansion of Qingyuan at all.
The one who died, but the daughter of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion!
Miss Cai Bilian was still in Chunhui Hall, and Laneige had already returned, standing behind her at this time, fanning for a while.
Mrs. Cai took the medicine and had already returned to the second room to lie down, the red sleeves accompanied her in the house, Mrs. Lu, the second wife, and Cai Bilian sat in the hall, and from time to time eight or nine years old came in to report the news.
There was silence in the hall, except for the sound of the second wife swallowing melon seeds.
A little maid rushed in and said, "The eldest lady and the second wife, the girl next to the third girl entered the courtyard of the third master with the cloth Zhuangzi and the person from the paper shop, saying that she wanted to arrange a mourning hall for the fifth girl!" ”
Mrs. Lu slapped the table: "It's the other way around, this is the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, when will it be the turn of the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion to be powerful and blessed, and arrange the mourning hall?" Does she still want to give a child a beautiful funeral? ”
The second lady snorted and said, "We have all seen it just now, the third girl doesn't even care about the old lady's face, and now, in our house, the only one who can shock the third girl is you, sister-in-law." Then the sister-in-law will go over and take a look, Hengzhi is just a maid, and she can't even climb to the sister-in-law's head with the maid next to the third girl, right? ”
Speaking of this, the second lady caught a glimpse of Cai Bilian's eyes blank and unrelenting, the second wife's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Ouch, the old lady is unwell, why didn't Miss Cousin go over to wait?" ”
If the second wife didn't say it, it would be fine, and hearing her say this at this time, Mrs. Lu immediately felt the same way. Usually talking about pretending to be filial in front of the old lady, this cousin is more active than those of them who are daughters-in-law, hmph, especially in front of the third master, I don't know that I think she wants to marry not the emperor, but wants to fill the house for the third master, she is also worthy!
Mrs. Lu is Mrs. Hou, she holds her own identity, and she looks down on this young lady who even has to be cheap for a maid monthly. Now that the second lady has risen, Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Alas, I remember that Miss Cousin is the most affectionate to the fifth girl, and once made a pair of exquisite small embroidered shoes for the fifth girl, and now the fifth girl is going to do a funeral, Miss Cousin can't sit and ignore it, how can you let a maid toss in the courtyard of the third master, why don't you go over and see Miss Table?" ”
Cai Bilian's face was blue and red for a while, and when she heard Mrs. Lu talk about the embroidered shoes, she hurriedly explained: "There is a weaving room in the house, where can I be used for the shoes of the fifth girl?" That day, it happened that the weaving house made a pair of shoes for the five girls, and I saw how small and delicate the shoes were, so I showed them to my aunt. ”
With a poof, the second wife covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law didn't say anything, Miss Cousin seemed to be shy." ”
Cai Bilian was about to explain again, but the little guy who had just come ran in again: "Oh no, no, the maid next to the third girl ......"
Before the little girl finished speaking, Mrs. Lu reprimanded: "What do you mean it's bad? This is Chunhui Hall, not the courtyard of the third master, and she wants to do a funeral, so don't block us. ”
The little girl scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "It's not a funeral, it's the maid of the third girl who led the Shuntianfu to catch the fast, and she was coming to Chunhui Hall, saying that she was coming to get someone." ”
"Take people?"
"What?"
"Say it again!"
Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Er, and Cai Bilian, the three voices of the three people all raised their voices.
The little maid was about to say it again, but the maid that Mrs. Lu had placed outside came in in a panic: "Mrs. Eldest lady, Shuntianfu has come to fetch people, and she has a chain in her hand." ”
Holding a chain? This is really going to take people.
"Who are they going to take?" Cai Bilian asked.
The maid shook her head.
At this moment, there was a voice outside the house, and the eldest lady glanced at the second wife: "You go out and have a look." ”
The hall is full of female dependents, even if it is someone from the Shuntian Mansion, you can't just break in.
The second wife was reluctant in every way, but there was indeed no one in this room who was more suitable than her.
Mrs. Lu is the housewife, Mrs. Hou, Cai Bilian is the yellow flower girl who has not left the cabinet, but the old lady's mother-in-law has all been arrested by Hua Jingyao, and she is the only one who can go out at this time.
The second wife walked out reluctantly, and sure enough, the maid named Xiao Xia beside Hua Jingyao was leading four or five servants to stand outside.
"What's going on?" Seeing that the person who came was just a servant, the second wife's waist straightened up, and she looked displeased.
"Second wife, these officials were ordered by Lord Qin to bring the Laneige girl next to Miss Biao over for questioning." Xiao Xia stepped forward and said in a proper manner.
"Laneige?" The second wife's eyes lit up immediately, why didn't she say it earlier, it turned out that it was Miss Biao's person who was going to be arrested, haha.
Why didn't you arrest the pretentious Miss Cousin?
