Chapter 20 There Are People Outside the People
Back in the yard, Liao's mother had already prepared hot water, as soon as Qin Yunuan came in, she served a hot cup of tea, Qin Baochuan obediently listened to Qin Yunuan's words all afternoon and never went out of the yard, he had been practicing writing big characters in the house, and he had already written a thick pile and put it next to Qin Yunuan's embroidery frame, waiting for Qin Yunuan to come and check.
The white of the hot tea curled around Qin Yunuan's cheeks, and Qin Yunuan's cheeks gradually became rosy, and his heart seemed to warm up.
"Third girl, you have done as you say," Liao's mother truthfully reported the situation in the afternoon, "At noon, the slave maid specially took out your makeup box to bask in the sun and remove mildew, and when she collected it in the evening, she said that the jade bracelet that your aunt left for you was missing, because it was lost in the yard, so everyone's room had to be searched, and finally it was turned out of Fusheng's room in front of everyone," and whispered, "Now, Fusheng is locked up in the empty house in the backyard." ”
Qin Yunuan frowned, "Didn't you say that you would directly hand it over to your mother to deal with?" Qin Yunuan was a little puzzled, but she knew that Liao's mother had always been a sensible person, and if there was no basis, she would not go against her will.
"Yes, it was sent," Liao's mother said with some embarrassment, "But at that time, the eldest girl suddenly had such a big thing, and when the slave went to Cuixuan Courtyard to report, she was stopped by the mother who guarded the door, saying that the lady was in a bad mood, but this delay was crooked." After Liao's mother finished speaking, she took out a round and translucent bead from her waist and said to Qin Yunuan, "This is the slave maid who came back to ask Fusheng later, and it fell from her, looking at her look at the time, it seems that she is very nervous about this bead." ”
Qin Yunuan paused with his fingertips, but still took this bead, this is a full and high-quality pearl of the East China Sea, in his previous life, Qin Yunuan had seen this kind of pearl when he embroidered Sima Rui's coronation dress for Qin Yun's makeup, except for Eastern Qin, such a high-quality pearl cannot be produced anywhere else.
"It's the pearl of Dong Qin," Qin Yunuan muttered to herself, these eight achievements are the pearls that Su Chenghai gave to Qin Yun makeup, Qin Yun's makeup rewarded his subordinates with a generous hand It really deserves its reputation, it seems that this Fusheng is not only Dou Qing'e's eyeliner, but also did a lot of things for Qin Yunmakeup in private, otherwise, he would not have been rewarded with such a big amount of Qin Yun makeup, Xu is just the tip of his nose was teased by the fragrance of tea, Qin Yunuan sniffed hard, and asked Liao's mother sideways, "Mom, what kind of tea did you make today?" The taste is extraordinarily fragrant and smells good. ”
Liao's mother was stunned for a moment and replied, "Isn't it the usual green tea?" The three girls had been drinking for a while. ”
"That's weird." Qin Yunuan leaned next to the tea cup and sniffed carefully, but the soft and fragrant taste was much lighter, it seemed that it was really not tea.
Seeing this, Liao's mother just smiled and said, "The third girl's sense of smell and memory are better than ordinary people since she was a child, maybe she smelled the fragrance of flowers in other yards or something." ”
"How can I have such a smart nose," Qin Yunuan chuckled, tilted his head, but happened to see the pearl at hand, puzzled, pinched the pearl to the tip of his nose and sniffed, his eyes suddenly became solemn, "Mother Liao, you bring all the spices in our house." ”
"The third girl wants to use spices," Liao's mother was a little surprised, "those are all used until the lady and the eldest girl come, or I will ask Dashi to go to the market to bring some white plum blossoms back to the third girl?" ”
Dou Qing'e and Qin Yunxiang rarely come to Qin Yunuan's yard, disgusted that Qin Yunuan is remote here and has a smell of dust, save money and prepare some high-quality spices, and when Dou Qing'e comes, it was Qin Yunuan's habit in her previous life to mix fragrance, and now, Qin Yunuan can't manage so much.
"Mom, you just have to take it, I don't need it."
In fact, Qin Yunuan has always had doubts, roughly speaking, Shangguan Yi resented Qin Yunxiang because he became a scapegoat, so he secretly sent spices to frame him, to Qin Yun's makeup really felt uncomfortable because of these spices, and then to Qin Yuwan's punishment, the whole thing was smooth and natural, and there was no leakage, but among them, he ignored one of the most basic problems, that is, time.
It was only two or three days from the day Qin Yunxiang came back from the palace to today, and no matter how powerful the condensing fragrance dew was, it would take at least seven or eight days to take effect, and it would take such an effect in just three days, isn't it too strange.
"Three girls, the spices are all here." Mother Liao placed the sealed wooden boxes containing spices on the table one by one for Qin Yunuan to choose and see.
Each small box is just the size of a fist, and there are not many spices in it, but the variety is complete, Qin Yunuan opened it one by one and sniffed it carefully, and then unsure of the news, Liao's mother has been carefully accompanying the side, until Qin Yunuan was smoked by this pile of spices and couldn't distinguish the smell, then hurriedly took the tea and asked, "Third girl, how is it?" ”
"That's right," Qin Yunuan pinched the pearl and said firmly, "This pearl has been soaked in white sandalwood." ”
White sandalwood is a kind of sandalwood, which is more precious than other sandalwood, the smell is aromatic, there is no pungent and choking taste of ordinary spices, and it also has certain medicinal value.
Poisoning pearls with spices has become popular in recent years, making pearls with a hint of fragrance and more popular with powerful women.
Can it be ......
Qin Yunuan frowned, all things are mutually reinforcing, you must know that condensation dew and white sandalwood cannot be used together, when the two are mixed, white sandalwood is like a catalyst, maximizing the side effects of condensation dew.
This pearl ...... It was sent by Su Chenghai!
Does he know about the white sandalwood on it? If you know, deliberately send it to Qin Yun, is it intentional or unintentional? And today, why did he want to fall into the well for Qin Yuwan? Could it really be because he is the main black hand, and he is in a hurry to find someone to back his back? No, he and Qin Yunxiang reunited after a long absence, there were no contradictions and interests at all, so why bother to go all the way and go around in such a big circle to hurt Qin Yunxiang's appearance?
Why, this cousin, who has only been here for two days, has made herself have so many doubts, and she can't understand this person anymore.
Mother Liao saw that Qin Yunuan was a little distracted, so she called softly and asked, "Third girl, what should Fusheng do?" ”
Qin Yunuan's deep well-like pupils slowly bloomed with a hint of shrewdness, "Now that my mother is annoying, I don't need to trouble my mother, but the punishment still has to be punished," Qin Yunuan pursed the corners of her mouth, "Now that the second sister has been punished and thinks about it behind closed doors, there are fewer intimate people around her, this Fusheng, hasn't you studied Yue Opera for a few years, just send it to the second sister's yard, it can be regarded as my sister's dedication." ”
One wants to spy on himself, and the other slanders the image of Baochuan in every way, and now, it just makes you fight in the nest.
Liao's mother was stunned after hearing this, and then just looked at the calm and natural Qin Yunuan with admiration and surprise, now the three girls seem to have been reborn, she knows the three girls best, the three girls are very smart, but they have been hiding in the past, and now that the three girls are older and know how to protect themselves with stratagems, Liao's mother is really happy and it's too late.
"Mother Liao, what's wrong?" Qin Yunuan tilted his head and asked.
"It's okay," Liao's mother hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave will do it immediately." "My own girl is angry now, and she can't embarrass her own girl.
Liao's mother was very efficient, and sent Fusheng to Qin Yuwan's yard early in the morning of the second day, and when she came back to report, Qin Baochuan was taking a cold shower in the yard under the supervision of Qin Yunuan.
"Can you still hold on? You can't just say it. Qin Yunuan's tone was firm and unquestionable, with a little majesty, although his heart was also distressed, but his eyes were not relaxed at all. In her previous life, she was too protective of Qin Baochuan, and she developed Qin Baochuan's timid and fearful temperament, although Qin Yuwan was temporarily placed under house arrest this time, but without Qin Yuwan's slander, there would be other people, the best way is to hone Qin Baochuan's perseverance from now on.
"Yes," Qin Baochuan gritted his teeth, his little arms and face were red from the cold, but his demeanor was extremely serious, "Sister, you continue to pour cold water, Baochuan is not cold, not cold at all, just like my sister said, the sky will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and work their bodies, this little training is nothing." ”
Baochuan's sensibility made Qin Yunuan a little moved, and he simply poured the remaining half of the bucket of cold water with a few big scoops, and then hurriedly shouted Man'er to carry Qin Baochuan in, but Qin Baochuan looked stiff and waved his hand and said, "Manly man, I can go by myself." With that, he limped into the house with two legs that were frozen and stiffened.
"Third girl, the matter is done." Liao's mother greeted her at this time, and subconsciously glanced at the place where Qin Baochuan had taken a cold bath just now, and the wet water stains flowed down the melting snow into a gurgling stream, causing Liao's mother to sigh, she understood Qin Yunuan's hard work.
"But the slave heard a message on the way back," Liao's mother followed Qin Yunuan into the house, and said after making sure that there was no one around, "Listening to the chatting of the grandmothers over there in Cuixuan Courtyard, I said, this temple fair, Mrs. seems to have chosen the third girl to go to the temple to pray for blessings." ”
Qin Yunuan looked at Liao's mother with a worried face, and said with a smile, "Is Liao's mother afraid that I will suffer something when I go out?" Or do you suspect that your mother has ulterior motives? ”
"No," Liao's mother said hurriedly, and then her face was embarrassed, "It's just that the three girls rarely go out and are not familiar with the outside, and the slave maid is always uneasy." "If Qin Yunuan really goes to the temple to pray for blessings, it is on behalf of the entire Taiwei Mansion, the eldest lady will definitely send the maids around her to accompany her, and the eldest lady's people will follow her own girl for a whole day, this is what she really doesn't worry about.
Qin Yunuan doesn't understand, in fact, Qin Yunuan is not worried that Dou Qing'e will take the opportunity to use any means, although she is just a concubine, but Dou Qing'e is domineering and cautious, she will never let anyone interfere with Qin Yun'e on the road of power, it is estimated that in the past two days, those things about the Flower Dynasty Festival have also come out, and it is not surprising that she is planning to start dealing with herself.
However, in order to ease Liao's mother's heart, Qin Yunuan still said with a smile, "Mother Liao, don't think too much, now that the eldest brother is traveling far away, the eldest sister's face is injured, and the second sister has been punished and grounded. ”
Mother Liao hesitated a little, paused and said, "Otherwise, let's go and discuss ...... with Young Master Cousin." ”
"No need," Su Chenghai was suddenly mentioned, Qin Yunuan looked a little uncomfortable, "My cousin came to Beijing to do business, and he was running around every day, besides, although he was a relative, but one of my daughters' family went to the temple to pray for blessings but had private contact with other men, which is always bad, don't worry about it, don't worry about it, you can't hide from coming, you can't stop you from leaving, let's see the move." ”
