Chapter 8: Shadows of the Night

Hearing that the third aunt was coming, Duanmuqing was still a little surprised, and after thinking about it, he was afraid that it was only because of Su'er's incident.

Just thinking about it, the person had already come in, Duanmu Qing greeted him with a smile, and asked Cai Wei to hurry up and pour tea.

"The third aunt is a distinguished guest, why do you have time to come and sit with your niece today." As he spoke, he politely gave up his seat to Zhou.

Zhou sat down according to her wishes, but seeing that she was so polite, it was difficult to say what she wanted to say for a while, but it was difficult to calm down in her heart.

"Yes! We live far apart, and if you hadn't come to our yard some time ago, I wouldn't have thought of coming to see you! It was obvious that he had been to their yard, but he did not say that she had not gone to see her.

Duanmu Qing naturally knew what she meant, and he was still hesitant in his heart, but now he can talk and make peace.

"The third aunt is going to blame me, it's my niece, I didn't go to ask the third aunt for peace, it was also the situation at the time, it's not good to go, and I hope the aunt won't blame."

Hearing this, Zhou's face turned cold again, "Oh? I don't know what the eldest lady is for! I don't know, I thought you couldn't look down on the tea in my house! ”

His expression darkened, and Duanmu Qing showed a sad look on his face, "It's because of the fourth sister, Aunt Huang's health was already very bad that day, and when she heard the announcement of the little maids, the fourth sister had no idea, thinking that the third aunt has always been kind and kind, and it would be bad if she collided." ”

Just said a kind sentence, which made Zhou's face red and white for a while, Duanmuqing continued: "Thinking about it, I don't know whether Aunt Huang is important or not, so I don't dare to rashly tell me, I just saw me, and thought that I was a junior after all, so I asked me to go over and have a look." ”

"Later, when I saw that Aunt Huang was better, I asked me not to say much, firstly, so as not to worry the third aunt, and secondly, I was afraid that she would seem to be flustered and unified, and I thought that the third aunt was not well-educated on weekdays, and the sisters knew it."

Originally, I came here to ask Duanmu Qing for meddling in the affairs of the third room, in the end she is not a person from the third room, even if she is not thoughtful about Duanmusu, she can't say anything.

But she didn't expect her to say this, not only pushed her meddling in the matter of the third room to the whole extent, but also counted Duanmusu's actions as thinking for herself, and the left sentence between the words was kind and hard, which made her speechless.

When Duanmu Qing saw her demeanor, she knew what she was thinking in her heart, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister is really, she did something wrong with good intentions, and we didn't expect Aunt Huang to go so soon, but fortunately it didn't spread out, otherwise it would be misunderstood that the third aunt mistreated the fourth sister!" ”

The meaning of this is that the scene she saw in Duanmuqing was unknown to others, and it was intended to calm her heart.

Nodding slightly, Zhou's face was already much softened, and since there were steps, he naturally went down.

He sighed faintly and said, "That's exactly what I said!" Miss, you don't know my difficulties, there was only one Aunt Huang in the third room, and this time she went so suddenly, and it spread outside, I really don't know how the starter arranged me! ”

Saying that, he hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and Duanmu Qing handed the teacup to her with a smile, "The third aunt's difficulties, Su'er knows it, and I also know it, that is, the person outside, who likes to chew the root of his tongue." ”

said as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Auntie, if I beg my grandmother to let the fourth sister come over to be my companion, the third aunt has only four sisters and a girl in the house, and it is inevitable to be lonely, first, so as not to make it difficult for the third aunt to act on weekdays, and second, seeing that the aunt plans for her sister like this, outsiders will also know what the aunt is like." ”

Knowing that her so-called letting outsiders look at it is to let Duanmu Su move over with a more beautiful scenery, but it is just a matter of spending some money, but she can avoid taking care of the sick girl in the future, Zhou Shi suddenly raised his eyebrows, nodded his head, and said that Duanmu Qingming was reasonable.

It was already half an afternoon when the Zhou family was sent away, and Cai Wei was a little puzzled, "Miss seems to be very interested in Miss Four!" ”

Duanmu Qing's expression was a little complicated, but it was obvious that there was some pity, "What kind of person is the third aunt, who in the house doesn't know, now that Aunt Huang is gone again, she has been weak since she was a child, I really don't know what to do in the future!" ”

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Cai Wei's eyes, eldest lady, after all, she is still a kind-hearted person.

I went to Qiu Tian early in the morning and brought back a picture she had drawn, I have to say that Qiu Tian's talents in all aspects are very prominent, a sunrise picture is bright in color, the layers are clear, and the color of the sky is from far to near, from light to dark, which is indeed in line with the name of "Ten Thousand Lights".

But it is not easy to embroider such a picture into embroidery, but Duanmuqing's embroidery art is completely inherited from Qiu Tian, except for some effort, it is not difficult.

But this time, she didn't plan to go to the queen's birthday with such an embroidered picture, but in her previous life, she became famous with "Ten Thousand Lights".

But when the scroll was unfolded, Duanmu Qing couldn't help but be stunned, because this was not "Ten Thousand Lights" at all, but a gorgeous "Phoenix Dance Nine Days".

"Miss, Aunt Li has come to measure your clothes with the master of the needlework room." The people outside made an announcement, and they heard a chaotic sound of footsteps.

Mr. Bai was uprooted, and soon the pawnshop outside also had a problem, and it was soon banned, what happened in the middle, people with a heart naturally know, for this reason, Aunt Li has no intention of doing things for several days, but today she is interested.

Seeing him walk in, Duanmuqing didn't get up and drank tea by himself.

Although she is an aunt, she is in control of the lifeblood of the people in the mansion, and with the support of the old lady, when has Li Ningshuang been treated so coldly.

I remembered that the matter of the pawnshop seemed to have something to do with Duanmu Qing, and her face suddenly became bad, but last time the Hou Ye specially asked about the matter of Wumo Pavilion, as if she was already suspicious of her, and she didn't want to move anything at all.

I hated it in my heart, but there were a bunch of smiles on my face, "What is the eldest lady busy with!" The queen's birthday is also approaching, and I asked the master in the sewing room to come and give you the size and make the clothes to enter the palace. ”

put the teacup on the kang table, and didn't ask her to sit in the end, "I'm busy preparing for the queen's birthday gift!" When my eyes are tired, it's easy to take a break. ”

The implication was that Li Ningshuang disturbed her rest, but she didn't wait for her to speak, and said reluctantly: "Then let's measure it quickly!" ”

When the master of the sewing room heard this, he trembled, and after a while, he helped Duanmu Qing measure it well.

Duanmuqing didn't sit down, but went straight into the inner room to dry a room of people.

Li Ningshuang's face turned blue with anger, her fingers trembled, and she said coldly after a while: "Let's go." ”

Cai Wei couldn't help but be a little worried, "Miss is fighting her like this now, I'm afraid that I will suffer!" ”

The embroidery needle in Duanmu Qing's hand did not stop, and there was no expression on his face, Cai Wei looked at it for a while, sighed in her heart, and gently retreated.

In Wenhuaxuan, Li Ningshuang was so angry that she swept off the things on the table, startling Duanmu Zi, who had just walked in, "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”

"Little slut," Li Ningshuang's eyes burst out with a vicious light, "It seems that the sky is going to turn upside down, and it embarrass me every day." ”

"Mother is talking about Duanmu Qing?" Thinking of Zhao Yufeng and Zhao Yuhong's reaction that day, Duanmu Zi was also full of unhappiness, "I feel that she has changed recently, although she used to be cold, but she was okay with me, but now I don't know why, I don't give a good face." ”

"What else could it be!" Li Ningshuang said fiercely, "Now that I'm older, seeing that you're getting better and better, and I'm presiding over the middle feed again, I naturally can't get angry." ”

"If it weren't for her mother who came suddenly with her that year, the position of Mrs. Zhenglin would have been yours a long time ago, where is Qiu Tian's turn to be that slut, how can I be a concubine, she still puts on a face for me, just like her, if she doesn't stand in my seat, can she compare with me?"

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and a vicious light appeared on Duanmu Zi's face.

I felt uncomfortable, Li Ningshuang didn't want her daughter to be troubled, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, don't worry, she has it, you have it, you have it, you have it, but she may not have it." ”

"That Qiu Tian's origin is unknown, I don't know why I hooked up with your father outside, but there is no one in her mother's family, isn't she still pressed under me now?

Duanmuqing doesn't have the support of his grandfather, but you do, the queen mother is your aunt, where can she compare to you, what you have to do now is to coax your father, your grandmother, with the queen mother and the Yongding Marquis Mansion, your future is limitless. ”

Hearing this, Duanmu Zi's eyes lit up, "Mother, that Duanmu Qing's embroidery skills, I don't think there are many people in the entire Xiqi who can catch up, the queen's birthday, she will definitely be in the limelight." ”

"Then she needs to be safe." A sneer condensed on Li Ningshuang's lips, and a vicious light flashed in her eyes.

"Mother, what do you mean......" The heart couldn't help but thump, but the excitement on his face couldn't be hidden.

"It's not what you think, don't think about it, it's only serious to have time to practice dancing." Hiding the strangeness in her eyes, Li Ningshuang returned to her normal expression and ordered her subordinates to clean up her things.

The night was as cool as water, the hook-like Xuanyue was wrapped in faint clouds, the ground was dark and unknown, and suddenly a ghostly black shadow flew into the Dancing Ink Pavilion.
