Knowingly, I asked, how could it be a garden visit for such a big battle, and besides, what is there to visit in the broken yard of this third girl who is out of the house and has no mother.

Aunt Liu lazily put a finger painted with bright red dancome on the corner of her lips and smiled, "Ouch, the third girl really likes to laugh, I'm just a rough person, where is there such a good interest, but I just dropped a hairpin, and I don't remember where it fell, just look around." ”

After that, he glanced at Qin Yunuan meaningfully, hmph, if this little hoof dared to stop it, he could just add one more charge of disrespecting his elders.

"Yes, that's it," Qin Yunuan dragged out her tone and smiled indifferently, "Then aunt, please, Baochuan is getting up soon, I still have to go and have a look." After that, the maid who didn't care about the search all over the yard walked straight to the small room at the east end.

"You guys, you've searched me carefully, and you can't fall into a single mouse hole." Aunt Liu put on a big shelf, hum, when I find the white hosta, you will be good-looking.

Qin Yunuan's yard is not big, but Aunt Liu has been tossing for almost an hour, and at this time she stood in the middle of the courtyard with an anxious face, and asked the maid and mother who came to report the news over and over again, "How can it not be?" Don't be lazy with me, one by one, search me carefully. ”

Compared with Aunt Liu's anxiety, Qin Yunuan looked extremely calm, seeing that the sun was good today, she simply moved the embroidery frame to the yard, and while holding the flower needle, she supervised Qin Baochuan to practice big characters on the sand with a small wooden stick.

can't afford pen and ink rice paper, so he can only let Qin Baochuan settle on the sand, but fortunately, Qin Baochuan has high understanding, good patience, and learns quite quickly.

At this time, Qin Baochuan was trying to draw the four big characters of "courtesy, righteousness and honesty", but when he wrote the three words "courtesy, righteousness and honesty", he stopped.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yunuan looked at Qin Baochuan pinching the small wooden stick with a thoughtful look, and simply stood up for the work in his hand, "Why don't you write the word 'shame'?" ”

Qin Baochuan's dark eyes turned, glanced at Aunt Liu slightly, and hurriedly turned back, looking at Qin Yunuan with a blank eye, Qin Yunuan suddenly understood.

"Really," Qin Yunuan pointed to a few words on the sand and said with a smile, "People can be 'shameless', but we can't be 'shameless', quickly add the word 'shame', otherwise, my sister won't teach you to read anymore." ”

After that, he raised his head again, looked at Aunt Liu, who was already a little angry, and smiled, "Let Auntie see and laugh, I don't know if Auntie's things have been found?" ”

Aunt Liu was already anxious, and when she heard Qin Yunuan's sister and brother, she didn't expect to be mocking herself, but now when Qin Yunuan asked, she just replied with a stiff face, "No," and then raised some confidence and said, "But sooner or later, I will find it." ”

"Auntie, I've searched all over the yard, but I really didn't find a hosta." The mother who came to report the news was a little apprehensive.

"Let's go first." It's not a matter of spending a long time here, and if you fall into someone's mouth, it's even more unpleasant.

Who knows, before this Aunt Liu's front foot has stepped out of the threshold, a little maid came from outside to report, "Auntie, your white hosta has been found." ”

"Found it?" Aunt Liu obviously didn't believe it. "Where did you find it?"

"In the backyard stable."

The stable is the outer courtyard, and most of the small maids gather in the place, from the stable to the east so dozens of steps, is the courtyard where the small servants live, Aunt Liu is an inner courtyard woman, how her hairpin fell to the outer courtyard, it is inevitable to lead people to reverie.

"It must be that the hands and feet are not clean, it must be." Aunt Liu stood aside with a handkerchief, gritting her teeth and cursing.

Dou Qing'e is wearing a light purple shirt today, with a pair of gorse hairpins on her head, compared with Aunt Liu's heavy makeup, there is a different style, she picked out the end of the tea, did not raise her head, only replied, "I have ordered someone to check, those people in the backyard were either sent out to do things yesterday, or someone can prove that there is no time to steal your hairpin." ”

"Sister, don't believe me, this is a white hosta given to me by the master, I usually don't want to wear it, if it wasn't stolen, how could it be left in the backyard." Aunt Liu stepped forward and said, "My sister is usually the fairest, but this time, I can't be partial." ”

"Am I selfish?" Dou Qing'e only felt funny, "Whose selfishness am I parting?" This big guy is here, but you can tell me, from beginning to end, who have I favored? ”

In addition to Dou Qing'e and Aunt Liu, Aunt Chang, Qin Yunuan, and the maids and grandmothers who had just searched with great fanfare all stood in the courtyard, all of them lowered their heads and did not speak.

Although Qin Yunuan's elegant dress today is inconspicuous, it also provoked Dou Qing'e to look at it twice, no wonder her daughter was so angry for the three blood marks last night, according to her, this is not only because her daughter's own appearance is temporarily ruined, but also because there is also a Qin Yunuan in the Taiwei Mansion who is more and more eye-catching, but it doesn't matter, after all, she is just a concubine, and she is still within her control.

"In short," Aunt Liu said confidently, "I went to my sister's place yesterday to ask for peace, and then my own yard, and I only came to the third girl for a few laps in the afternoon, and I haven't been to other places, let alone the stable." After that, she stared at Qin Yunuan's noble and elegant face again, yesterday she obviously threw the white hosta in the flower bed in the courtyard of this little girl, why can't she find it today? It's weird.

"Heh, this is all suspicion of me?" Dou Qing'e tilted her head, her tone provocative and arrogant.

"How dare my sister," Aunt Liu immediately flattered again, "Don't say it's a white hosta, even if it's a sister of the gold house and the silver house, I can't look down on it, my sister is from a big family, I haven't seen anything good, and I'm just like it's impossible to guard and steal, right, my sister is busy enough on weekdays, I don't have a reason to make such a fuss, then there is only ......." After speaking, his eyes only glanced at Qin Yunuan.

Helplessly, Qin Yunuan was very calm, and she didn't even blink her eyes, forcing this Aunt Liu to open her mouth directly, "Third girl, my aunt also knows that you have a poor life on weekdays, and if you make a mistake at this time, it's good ......to admit it." ”

"Aunt Liu's words are strange," Qin Yu's warm cherry lips opened, and she said unfazedly, "Aren't they all found in the stable?" How is it that I am to blame? ”

Aunt Liu simply lowered her face, "A while ago, there was a case in Liu Yuanwai's house in the suburbs of Beijing, and the maids in the inner courtyard first hid the jewelry of the ladies in the inner courtyard in the stable trough, and then the groom took it to the pawnshop outside. ”

"But even so, I wasn't in the house yesterday, where did I have time to go to the outer courtyard to hide things?" Qin Yunuan looked like she was arguing with reason, if she was just suspicious, now Aunt Liu had accused herself by name, and under nervousness, she just clenched a sachet in her sleeve.

"Heh, you don't have time, you have a maid in your yard, no matter how bad it is, don't you still have a little rabbit cub in your yard?" Aunt Liu waved her hand and said categorically.

"Baochuan is only five years old, where do you know so much?" Qin Yunuan's little face turned red, and her fingertips pushed a few points into the sleeve, which just made Dou Qing'e, who was watching coldly, catch her.

"What's in the cuff?" Dou Qing'e opened her mouth leisurely, this sentence seemed to throw an introduction to Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu also dragged her up, and shouted as soon as she opened her mouth, "Okay, it's really a person with unclean hands and feet, and he is still hiding what to do, and he doesn't take it out." Stretching out his hand, he directly pulled on Qin Yunuan's sleeve, tugging and pulling the ground, trying to take something out of Qin Yunuan's sleeve cage with brute strength.

Qin Yunuan wanted to struggle, but she couldn't match Aunt Liu's brutality, a sachet with red lines on a white background was dragged out, and in the competition between the two, it was torn and torn in two. As the dried flowers filled with the sachet fell, there was a piece of yellow rune paper folded into a triangle.

"Okay," Aunt Liu picked up the yellow rune paper on the ground very quickly, and shouted, "Sure enough, there is something unclean hidden, sister, look, I don't know what kind of talisman is drawn on it, no wonder the house has been restless recently, and the return date of the old man's southern tour has been pushed back again and again. ”

"Shut up," Dou Qing'e glared, "Is it okay to say this kind of thing casually?" The old man returned late to accompany the eldest prince to observe the people's feelings, and he only blamed those little maids for not doing things carefully. But she knew very well in her heart that thirty percent of the money for public use was used by her to subsidize her mother's family or put it in the shop, but she was very careful, and she distributed a lot of money on weekdays, and at the end, she let her henchmen secretly get it back.

This is not the time to care about this, Dou Qing'e restrained some anger, took the yellow talisman handed over by Aunt Liu, opened it and looked at it, but she was stunned.

"...... this?" Dou Qing'e raised her eyes to look at Qin Yunuan, whose eyes were already red.

Qin Yunuan saw that the time had come, so she knelt down and said with a crying voice, "Isn't it the peace charm of Lingtai Temple, my daughter went to ask for a long time before she came back, and she deliberately sewed it in the sachet, and put her mother's favorite dried peony flowers, ready to take it to her mother today, Aunt Liu framed her daughter for stealing her hairpin, not to mention, but also framed her daughter for cursing the whole family with a yellow charm, and now she also ripped off the sachet embroidered by her daughter for her mother, but the mother wants to be the master of her daughter." ”

"Alright, alright, you get up first." Dou Qing'e frowned, although she has always disliked this concubine's daughter, she still has to do enough to save face, and this time the Liu family is really making too much trouble.
