Songhe Zhai, the lights are bright.

Mrs. Song didn't rest, sitting on the soft couch in the room, teaching a few little maids to learn flower arrangement.

When Mrs. Song lived in Puji Temple, she had some research on floral art and had her own unique views on flower arrangement.

In the past few days, I watched the little maids serving in the house have nothing to do all day, so I moved the idea of arranging flowers for them.

It just so happened that the flower house sent a few pots of camellias.

Mrs. Song taught a few little girls to prune the flower branches.

Mrs. Ma went back to the house, Mrs. Song raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Ma instantly understood what Mrs. Song meant, and immediately came over and listened to Mrs. Song's instructions.

"Mother Ma, when you sent those little girls over, did Jin'er say anything?"

Ma Pozi looked around the house, and the little girls who were beside the old lady and pruning the camellia branches looked at each other and hurriedly retreated.

"Old lady, the girl has not said anything, please rest assured old lady. Those girls are also extremely clever and sensible, and the old slave has already explained what the old lady told the old slave to say, and they will understand. ”

"It's good to understand, it's good to understand! Now the little girl, what she lacks most is to understand and understand. ”

Old Madam Song said, raised her head and glanced at the camellia branches that had just been pruned by a few little maids.

This is not much different from this pruning of flowers and branches.

Keep what I want and cut out what I think is superfluous.

"Tell them to go down, let them take good care of the girl these days. Madame came over today and begged me to help her watch some brocade. ”

"After all, Jin'er is getting bigger and bigger, doing things more and more calmly, and she can make up her mind about everything. But the more Jin'er is like this, the more worried Mrs. becomes. Madame was worried that Jin'er had offended someone outside, but she didn't know it. ”

"Madame is thinking about the second girl, in Madame's heart, except for the eldest son, the eldest girl, and the little son, the most memorable thing is the second girl." Ma Pozi replied truthfully.

"Jin'er has had a peculiar smell that is difficult to get rid of since she was a child, and at that time, the lord and Mrs. were so disgusted with Jin'er that they left her in the small courtyard in the back garden and left her to fend for herself. Now that the smell is gone, Mrs. naturally feels guilty about Jin'er in her heart. ”

Old Madam Song said, picked up the golden scissors that had just rested on the high table, and continued to prune the pot of camellias.

"Jin'er is a good one, and I feel sorry for her too! Explain it, let those little girls watch the girl, and don't let the girl out to cause trouble, especially the white lotus and hibiscus who are waiting by the girl's side. ”

Mrs. Song was still not at ease, and explained a few words to Mrs. Ma.

Ma Pozi got the order, went to Cuiweiju again, and personally explained to the two of them and Fu Hui and Baihe.

In this way, Song Jin was detained in the house for half a month.

Mrs. Song explained that she was not allowed to let the girl out of Cuiweiju, and especially explained to Fu Hui and Bai He.

If one of the two of Fu Hui and Bai He dared to let Song Jin out, Old Madam Song called Ma Pozi to come over and broke the man's leg.

Song Jin wanted to go to Anxinzhai to ask to see Zhao, but before he could go in, he was blocked out of the house by Mrs. Li, who said that Zhao was recuperating these days and it was inconvenient to see her.

Song Jin wanted to beg Daddy Song and let Daddy Song take him out, but every time she went to the study, Daddy Song left early. When I came back, it was already sunset.

After dinner, Father Song went to Anxinzhai to accompany Zhao to say a few words, and then went to Songhezhai to see Mrs. Song, and then went back to his study.

These days, Song Jin has never even seen Father Song.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Song instructed the small kitchen to make a few of Song Jin's favorite meals.

As the New Year approaches, the house is becoming more and more lively.

When Song Jin was having breakfast in the house, Fu Hui had already explained to Camellia and Cuckoo that they went to sweep the dust under the porch.

Bai He was in the house, leading the two little girls brought by Ma Pozi, Dongxue and Lamei, to clean all the things in the house.

Dongxue is responsible for cleaning and scrubbing, and Lamei is responsible for recording.

As the New Year approaches, all the ornaments in the house need to be registered to see if there is anything missing and if there are any damaged objects.

If there is something missing, you need to report to Mrs. Li and ask Mrs. Li to bring her mother-in-law over to inquire.

If something is damaged, it is necessary to report to the housekeeper in the front yard, and ask the housekeeper to be in charge of the bottom of the purchase, to buy it again, and replace the original damaged ornaments.

Although Dongxue and Lamei are both second-class girls who serve in the outer courtyard of Cuiweiju, but as far as Fuhui and Baihe are concerned, they can't complete the cleaning and scrubbing of hundreds of things in Song Jin's house, which makes Dongxue and Lamei help recently.

Ma Pozi said that Dongxue Lamei is clever and capable, Song Jin looked at the appearance of the two of them, and it really seemed to be clever and capable.

Leaving the two of them in the courtyard can also help Furao Baihe share some responsibilities.

After Lamei and Dongxue cleaned and scrubbed all the furnishings in Song Jinli's house, they registered them in the book.

Bai He took the booklet and read it carefully, only to find that there were a few pieces of furnishings missing from Song Jin's house.

In the early years, on the girl's birthday, the pair of Dingzhou red porcelain plum bottles that Mrs. gave to the girl were missing, and several pairs of jade bracelets with good jade quality were also missing.

Bai He felt that something was not quite right, and hurriedly handed the booklet to Song Jin.

"Girl, take a look, we've lost something in the house."

Seeing Bai He handing over the booklet with a panicked face, Song Jin took the booklet and read it carefully.

She hadn't read much of this booklet before.

Besides, the things in her house have always been managed by Furao and Bai He for her, and she doesn't interfere in these things.

I heard Bai He say that something was lost in the house, what was it that was lost?

Song Jin looked at the booklet in his hand, and asked Bai He again.

"Bai He, what did we lose in the house? Tell me about it?"

glanced at Dongxue and Lamei who were waiting in the house, Dongxue and Lamei instantly understood the meaning of Baihe, picked up the basin rag, and went out of the house.

After watching Dongxue and Lamei go out, Bai He replied without hurrying.

"Girl, in the early years, the pair of small and delicate Dingzhou red porcelain plum vases that Madame gave you were missing, as well as a few pairs of jade bracelets in the girl's jewelry box.

"Girl, if you want the half-slave maid to go to Anxinzhai now and invite Mrs. Li over, let's wait for the girl to investigate thoroughly."

Song Jin remembered that the pair of small and delicate Dingzhou red porcelain plum vases sent by the Zhao family in the early years had been kept in a box by Song Jin, and the box was placed in Song Jin's cabinet.

The average person won't find out easily.

What's more, the missing pairs of jade bracelets are something she has never touched on weekdays, which means that she has no impression of these missing jade bracelets.

Even if it's gone, for a while, you won't be able to find when it's gone.

To be able to steal such things from her house without knowing it, that person must be the one who is close to her, otherwise he would not know where those things are.

It's not going to be stolen so easily.

However, there are only a few maids who serve in her courtyard, Hibiscus and White Lotus, who serve in her house.

Camellia and cuckoo, one on the stove and the other under the porch, can only come in when they have breakfast.

Dongxue and Lamei have only been here for a long time.

They were only called into the house by Bai He today to help clean up, and they shouldn't know where those things are.

Then the only ones who have a chance to start are hibiscus, white lotus, camellia and rhododendron.

However, among the four people, the only ones who served her closely and knew where these things were hidden were Hibiscus and White Lotus.

But she couldn't figure out that it would be one of the white lotus and the hibiscus who stole these objects.

"Bai He, this matter, don't let people go to the peace of mind to fasting Mother Li, if Mother Li knows, Mrs. will definitely know. Madame is recuperating in the house these days, and does not leave the house, so it is better not to let her know about these things. ”

Bai He nodded, after all, there was a thief in the girl's house, so it was better not to let others know.

If this matter is publicized, they will definitely be the object of suspicion when they are waiting for them in the girl's room.

"The girl's things have always been hidden, especially the girl's pair of Dingzhou red porcelain plum bottles, small and exquisite, the girl has always been reluctant to take it out to show people, has always been hidden in the girl's wardrobe, and now it is gone, and I don't know when it is gone."

"The slave thinks that it should be the hands of the people in our house."

didn't think about it, Bai He also knew that these things of hers were missing, and they were the hands of the people who were waiting in the house.
