Chapter 19: Calculations
The mother whispered, and sure enough, Yuan Ying's face changed, and she quickly turned red and congested, clearly in a state of extreme anger.
She looked bad at the side, Yuan Ying is a bloody and strong character, it really angered her, and the scene today is not easy to clean up. With so many guests at the moment, if she is angry, the face of the Zhenguo Mansion is definitely not good-looking.
The hawthorn cake didn't eat either, she grabbed Yuan Ying, who was about to leave, grabbed her, looked at the old mother and looked at her, and asked, "What's the matter, don't worry, there are so many people now." ”
Yuan Ying's lips trembled twice, looking at her, her eyes bloodshot.
"Yuan Ying, where is your Gongfang? I've had so many snacks to feed, I'm going to have to get rid of it. She pulled Yuan Ying, motioned to the old lady with her eyes, and then looked at Hengbo and Cheng's mother and said, "You guys are waiting here, I'll go back when I go." ”
Waiting for the noisy Rongchun Hall, Yuan Ying stood still, kicked the pillar hard, and said hatefully: "They want to find trouble, do they have to do it today!" It's a good birthday, and they won't let it! ”
Song Yansheng's eyelids jumped, and he had a number in his heart. The old lady saw that she was a trustworthy person, and there was no one around, so she told the story.
"The fifth brother has been sick for several days, and the one from Xiyu Pavilion is coming to make trouble, not because it is our Rongchun Hall's hand. The cedar has been tied up, and now Mrs. Zhang has led people to Rongchun Hall to confront the second lady. ”
"They! Ahem! They have no rules! I don't know when this family became her surname Zhang?! If Yuan Ying hadn't been pulled, she couldn't wait to pick up a spear and go desperately with Xiyu Pavilion now: "Such an adulterer, what evidence does she have to make trouble!" ”
Song Yansheng also pondered the taste at this time, calculated a few times in his mind, and said loudly: "Today is your birthday, and the guests are all there, so naturally she wants to pick this time, wronged you to murder your younger brother, and ruined your reputation." She knows you very well, if you are impulsive to fight and kill now, she will be more emboldened and fall into her arms, which means that you have a ghost in your heart, and you have to seal her mouth as a thief, so that all the guests can see your evil deeds. ”
After she finished speaking, she paused, frowned, looked at Yuan Ying and asked, "How long has Cedar been with you?" ”
Yuan Ying was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: "She only came to me later, and I have two girls close to me, and one is sick, so I have Cedar to serve in Rongchun Hall." ”
"In this way, she has a problem, and nine times out of ten she will turn back." As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Ying hesitated for a while: "She has never done anything to harm me, and she has always been on my side." ”
She shook her head and glanced at Yuan Ying, and couldn't bear to say, "What do you think Xiyu Pavilion has to make trouble?" Cedar is the key. Miss Yuan, in the face of interests, many people and many things are untrustworthy and unreliable. After speaking, he raised his eyes and asked, "For what reason did she tie up the cedar?" ”
"There are a few more red ginseng whiskers in the decoction of the fifth brother, and it is even more difficult for weak children, and the fifth brother is seriously ill because of this. In addition to the people of Xiyu Pavilion, others who have touched the decoction are sure that they are the cedars of our Rongchun Hall. ”
Doesn't that sound confusing? It doesn't matter if you touch the decoction or not, as long as you have cedar, this game can be done. When the time comes, take away the pretense and ask for it, Cedar is her person, and she will accuse it of being Yuan Ying's order.
Yuan Ying figured it out, and sneered: "It's good to be out of the inside and outside." ”
But—
"Red ginseng?"
Song Yansheng was silent for a moment, keenly grasped the word, and looked at the old lady.
"The girl doesn't know, and the bad is here. This red ginseng is extremely rare for a long time, and it is only available in our courtyard in the whole house, and it was brought into the house by the eldest lady at the beginning. The old lady sighed, "Who would have thought that it would become the handle of Xiyu Pavilion to calculate us." ”
"And where is this red ginseng now?"
Yuan Ying shook her head and said, "If you don't mention it, I don't even know about red ginseng." My mother's dowry was given to me, and it has been locked in Feiyun Pavilion, and I don't know which cage this thing will be placed in. Looking at the old lady who came to marry, she also shook her head in distress.
We all know that there is such an old red ginseng, but in fact, no one can see it. In this way, the game has a fatal hole. Since that's the case, it's easy to do.
"Since Xiyu Pavilion is going to confront each other, then let her make trouble." She smiled lightly, her eyes were clear and clear, and she looked at Yuan Ying with a smile. She is a small person, but she inexplicably makes people feel a credible and reliable force.
The luncheon was really postponed, and since the mother-in-law of Xiyu Pavilion led people into Rongchun Hall, this farce began.
Xiyu Pavilion Zhang is the noble concubine of the Zhenguo Gong, everyone knows, since the eldest lady Ping's fall to the Buddha ignores the world, now the inner house is all in Zhang's hands, today's banquet, she has a big belly for the daughter Cao to hold a birthday banquet is enough to do enough superficial work, so that the ladies and wives of the family have left a good impression on her.
Song Yansheng sat next to Yuan Ying, ready to watch a performance under the tears of Xiyu Pavilion. Although countermeasures have been arranged, Yuan Ying's temper is still trembling with anger, especially in front of so many family members. Many people actually gather around to watch a lively, who doesn't want to watch a lively Zhenguo Mansion? When I was young, I didn't know which old man in the house said that once there were more women, things would come.
She is the most fearless person, because there is no need, and the more afraid she is, the faster things will come.
She smiled, held her chin and looked at the people in the hall, and then took a closer look at Xiyu Pavilion.
Zhang was really born beautiful, young, fresh, like a blooming flower. Just a few tears under your eyes can be pitied.
Yuan Ying restrained her anger and looked at her with a frown: "Mrs. Zhang, what happened to me, you have to say it at my birthday banquet?" ”
"Mother Zhang, come on."
Song Yansheng looked at her intently. The tears of the beauty are really ecstatic, especially her posture, with tears in her eyes, like a touch of morning mist, pear blossoms with water, and clear jade drops. But whenever others are looked at with tears like this, they can't help but soften their hearts.
Yuan Ying pinched her palms and listened to their Xiyu Pavilion master and servant singing a play, and the crowd of onlookers didn't know why, and they were happy.
"Second girl, the fifth brother is the brother of the Yuan family who finally got it, since he was sick, our lady washed her face with tears all day long, and now in front of so many ladies and misses, the old slave also showed his face!"
Mrs. Zhang couldn't cry, screaming to the sky and grabbing the ground, and she couldn't hurt her forehead.
Song Yansheng looked at the old woman, but he was happy, took a sip of tea slowly, and then looked at the reactions of the people around him, and sure enough, most of his emotions were driven.
Yuan Ying sat on the main seat, her face was very cold, and she pretended to be stupid and said, "You mother, why don't you hurry up and explain the matter clearly if you have this kowtow?" The fifth brother is sick and everyone in the house knows it, is there anything hidden that can't be done? ”
Mrs. Zhang slammed her teeth, gritted her teeth, pointed at Yuan Ying and said, "Second girl, you are pretending to be confused." The bowl of health soup that I got up early today and sent to the fifth brother's room was brought by your close maid Cedar! After drinking this bowl of soup, Brother Yuan vomited and diarrhea. ”
After hearing these words, Yuan Ying was ready to remain silent, but suddenly a laugh came from the crowd watching the excitement:
"Yuan Er girl, if you want people to know, unless you don't do it. Your aunt treats you so really and kindly, and she does it for you everywhere, but you are so ruthless. ”
This voice is familiar, she put down the cup and followed everyone to look at the voicer, it was indeed her fifth sister. In such a situation, she is also unclear, and she dares to add fuel to the fire to make a fool, don't you think the matter is big enough! She frowned and looked at Cheng's mother, and after receiving the signal from her eyes, she took Hengbo and walked towards Song Qinsheng.
"You old woman, what are you doing with me!" Song Qin exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly pulled the two hands that grabbed her arms. Hengbo pulled her out hard, Cheng's mother has been an old mother for many years, she has never seen anything in the house, is it not easy to restrain such a half-grown child as Song Qinsheng now, so she quietly warned: "Fifth girl, this matter is a family matter of the Zhenguo Mansion, and others must not be involved, have you forgotten the old lady's punishment last time?" ”
Song Qinsheng was stunned, and she was also afraid of kneeling in the ancestral hall and beating her palms, seeing that she was no longer struggling, Cheng's mother grabbed her arm and dragged people outside the hall with Hengbo.
Cheng's mother is shrewd, and this warning made a warning, understanding that people have already pulled her own girl out with an excuse. Jokes, watching the excitement also depends on the time and occasion, Yuan Yingtang is the lord of the country, today is her birthday, in order to see the intrigue of the inner house offended people, it is really worth the loss.
Most of the irrelevant wives and girls who were watching walked in twos and threes, Song Yansheng glanced at Xiao Changying, who was flat and left with everyone, and withdrew his gaze lightly, falling on the face of the Zhang family of Xiyu Pavilion in front of him.
"Since you are alluding to my Rongchun Hall's doing, what evidence do you have?"
Yuan Ying tilted her head to the side, her face was grateful, and she exchanged a tacit look with Song Yansheng.
Zhang wiped his tears, and most of the excitement in the hall was dispersed, and the effect was less than half, but now that this play is sung and known to everyone, then she can't stop it, can't she cure a little girl! Thinking of this, he stiffened his neck and shouted, "Bring the cedar!" ”
"If you want proof, she's a witness!" After saying that, he seemed to have confidence, and a trace of pride flashed on his face.
Cedar was dragged in and fell to her knees, her clothes covered in dust, and she was very embarrassed. Her head had been hanging down since she came in, and her hair was messy and scattered all over her face.
"Say!" Mother Zhang drank it, the girl shook her head, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... It was the second girl who instructed me to do it, saying that the red ginseng is a great supplement, and it is a hundred years, and the child is weak and can't bear it at all. ”
"Did you hear that? Cedar has confessed it all! Mother Zhang could say loudly: "Second girl, what else do you have to say now?" ”
Song Yansheng looked at Yuan Ying, and many people inside and outside the hall watched how she answered.
At this moment, there was a lot of movement in the corridor outside Rongchun Hall. There was the cry of a girl and the reassuring sound of a man, followed by the sound of dull footsteps, and a gold-painted soap boot stepped through the threshold and walked in with a full breath.
