83. Chance encounters at night
Huaizhi went out and came back not long after. The handkerchief handed to Quan Rou had been repaired, and the stitches were fine, and it looked even more vivid than the original.
"It was said that the county lord asked her to come over with Sister Begonia to deliver something," Huaizhi was still puzzled, "How could you let Taoqi come?" ”
There are other people in the third-class girl, and Taoqi doesn't like to talk much, and the things that come forward on weekdays are done by others.
Kwon rubbed the veil and lowered her eyes.
"Is Momosu a family child?" Kwon Rou thought about why that figure was familiar.
The girl who didn't put herself in her eyes that day seemed to have talked to such a dressed person.
But if it's really like Huaizhi said, this Taoqi doesn't go out much, then is the person I saw during that time really her? The person who came to meet that girl didn't only come once or twice, and many times Quan Rou had seen this back.
Because the hairstyle is different from everyone's, Kwon Yau has a deep memory. And this back will come to the girl not long after the mother-in-law in the outer courtyard comes.
Could it be that I recognized the wrong person?
"Their family all followed the county lord from the Chu Prince's Mansion, Taoqi also has an aunt in the big kitchen of the Hou Mansion, and she also has a cousin in the county lord's small kitchen," Huai Zhi's mouth was dexterous, and he said it clearly in a few words.
"She has a cousin?" Quan Rou put down her handkerchief and sat up a little straighter, "Do you look like?" ”
Some of the cousins look alike, but Quan Rou has never seen anyone from the Xie family until now, so she can't be sure.
Huaizhi didn't know why Quan Rou asked this, but he quickly replied, "Like! Momoqi's mother is very similar to her aunt, so Momoqi is also similar to her cousin. ”
Kwon Rou put her four fingers on the side, tapping the armrest again and again, her eyes glancing down slightly.
All I could hear in the room was the crackling of the candle flames.
Huaizhi waited for a while, but didn't see Quan Rou speak, and there was something strange in his heart. "Girl?"
"Hmm," Quan Rou subconsciously agreed, and then got out of Fang Cai's thoughts. "It's nothing, are you on duty today?"
"Yes, the slave and maid will sleep outside today, and the girl will be able to shout if she has something!"
"Okay," Quan Rou smiled and agreed, and asked Huaizhi to bring hot water in.
When she was lying on the bed, Quan Rou thought about Taoqi and her cousin in her mind. It stands to reason that Taoqi is easy not to go out of the courtyard of the county lord of Hui'an, but during those days, Quan Rou can always see the figure at a fixed time period to find the girl before.
If it's a peach perch, Huaizhi shouldn't know it.
Their relationship is still good.
Is that Momoqi's cousin? But didn't their family all follow the county lord of Hui'an from the Chu Palace? The deed of sale of the sons of the family is in the hands of the master, so I don't want to do something, so I have to think about it for the people in the family, right? The more Quan Yau thought about it, the more unreasonable she felt.
The girl who was kicked out must have done something to touch the interests of the county lord of Hui'an or the Marquis of Jing'an, so she was disposed of so quickly. In this way, if her assumption is true, does it mean that Momosu or her cousin are also involved?
So what kind of role is she in it? And for what reason do you want to do this?
The last time the county lord of Hui'an checked that girl, didn't he find out Taoqi's problem?
Quan Rou has a problem, when she thinks about things before going to bed, it is easy to fall into it, and the more she thinks about it, the more involved she becomes.
She opened her eyes on the bed, looked at the pattern on the top of the curtain for a long time, felt that her heart was in a mess, and simply sat up and opened the window, wanting to breathe.
Tonight's moon was round, hanging in the sky, and half a ray of moonlight poured into Kwon Yau's room. The shade of the trees blocked the corridor opposite, so Kwon Rou came over with a pillow and leaned against the window to look out.
There is no wind, either, but it is very comfortable.
The Jing'an Hou Mansion is fully lit at night, and this light money is nothing to the Hou Mansion.
Quan Rou sat here, and could see the people walking in the corridor opposite, thinking that it was a girl who was waiting at night, but when she got out of the corridor, Quan Rou noticed that it was Taoqi.
"What is she going to do?" Kwon Rou glanced in the direction Momosu had left, and it seemed that she was heading towards a path.
"Huaizhi," Quan Rou called, "take the cloak, I'm going to the official room." ”
"Eh, the girl has a gong bucket here, it's so cold outside,......" Huaizhi outside just wanted to persuade a few words, and saw that Quan Rou had already walked out of it by herself, wearing only a thin middle coat, and she looked like she had just gotten up from the bed.
"Girl take care of the cold!" Huai Zhi hurriedly grabbed the cloak on the clothes rack and walked over to Quan Rou, Quan Rou didn't wait for Huai Zhi to wear it for herself this time, he hurriedly tied a knot, grabbed the palace lamp on the side and walked out, "I don't seem to have a bad stomach, so I don't have to come with me!" ”
She was also in a hurry, it seemed that she had really eaten a bad stomach and stomped her feet on the back, follow along, this girl's family will indeed be shy, but if she doesn't follow her, she is worried about Quan Rou's safety, and she has no clue for a long time, and then she raises her eyes and looks over, Quan Rou's shadow is no longer visible.
Quan Rou made an excuse to come out, and the official room of the Qingshuang Hall was in the same direction as the path that Taoqi had just left. In the past, they used to use Gong buckets, but this official office didn't use them much. Quan Rou said that she had an uncomfortable stomach and wanted to use it, and the Huai Zhi would only think that she was shy, and Quan Rou also had a girl on duty at night on the road all the way, but she didn't arouse suspicion.
There wasn't much of a person near the official house.
Quan Rou glanced left and right, picked the wick of the palace lamp with the hairpin on his head, and watched the light dim before continuing to follow.
Although it is desolate, there are stone lamps placed here.
Seeing the road is not a problem, in order not to startle the snake, Quan Rou can only extinguish the palace lights.
She's fast, so there's no problem keeping up with Momoqi.
Momosu kept walking to the end of the path, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, Quan Rou saw her stop.
Taoqi stopped in front of a door in front of the mansion, it seemed that no one had entered here for a long time, the door was painted, the threshold was also removed, and it looked desolate. There was a huge peach tree beside it, which had just sprouted, and the shadows of its branches were a little hideous under the moonlit night.
Quan Rou saw Taoqi squatting down and touching under the door, as if looking for something.
She lifted her skirt and hid behind the peach tree, staring at Momosu without blinking.
"Why are you here?" The soft voice that suddenly sounded behind her made Quan Rou almost fail to lift her breath, and she screamed and was slapped back by the other party.
Jiang Chen pressed her against the tree, her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, "Shhhhh ”
