Su Geng, I saw someone pick up the heavy embroidered grass pattern curtain, and a slender figure stepped out from behind. The figure of the orb followed him and stepped into the house.

As soon as Wei Ziyuan saw someone coming, she hurriedly got up from the mahogany chair to greet her, and said with a smile: "I mean, the wind tonight is much stronger than before, it turned out that Sister Mute came, it's not like that." He looked at Mute secretly.

Silent is tall, white and tender, and is about 29 years old. She wore a blue skirt with a pink corset intertwined with her waist, showing off her Ana's versatility. The thin noodles are lightly powdered, and the green silk that is as thick as splashing ink pulls up the temples, which makes her noodles even more pretty.

Wei Ziyuan also noticed that she was carrying a small basket in her hand, which was covered with a brocade handkerchief, and she couldn't see what was inside.

She heard Wei Ziyuan say this, and smiled slightly, but she didn't have anyone in her eyes because Wei Ziyuan treated her kindly, and she saluted decently, so she smiled and said: "Third Miss, don't say that, if you let others listen to it, it will be a joke." ”

After she said that, her voice changed, and she raised her voice and said: "Recently, the snow has become heavier and heavier, and the slave maid is on the order of the lady to send a close-fitting velvet pocket to the third lady. With that, he raised the basket and opened the brocade handkerchief, and there were indeed three close-fitting velvet pockets inside.

When Wei Ziyuan heard her words, her heart turned slightly, and she knew that something was wrong, if it was really the eldest lady who wanted to give her a close-fitting velvet bag, then why didn't she give it just now? Or that it would be okay to wait for tomorrow to give it to me, but I was born at this time to send it. I'm just afraid that sending things is fake, mute or the eldest lady has something to say is true!

Wei Ziyuan didn't break it, took the velvet bag, took it in his hand and observed it carefully, the velvet pocket was inlaid with soft fluff, and a few strange flowers and plants were embroidered inside. Looking at its flower and plant embroidery, you can know that it must be made of top Suzhou embroidery.

Shizune looked at Wei Ziyuan from the side, and didn't say anything about leaving, but just looked at Wei Ziyuan with a smile.

Wei Ziyuan glanced at the tail of her eyes, and seemed to look at the velvet pocket, then she raised her head, waved her hand and handed the velvet pocket to Linlang on the side, signaled her to accept it happily, and then turned her head and smiled at Muyin: "It just so happens that Sister Mute is here, Yuan'er also has something here, and I want to give it to my mother, since Sister Mute is here, then I will trouble my sister to help bring it back." ”

After listening to Mute and nodding with a smile, Wei Ziyuan said to Baozhu again: "You go and pick up the Bailian Dew Fat and the gilded red fox robe that the eldest brother specially sent from Pingzhou last time, and let Sister Shizun send it together, I'm lazy, I don't bother to do anything a second time." As she spoke, she raised her sleeves and covered her lips lightly, smiling.

Baozhu received the order and hurriedly retreated. As soon as Baozhu left the room, the smile on Wei Ziyuan's face disappeared, and there were only her and Shizune in the room for a while.

Wei Ziyuan glanced at Mute lightly, and then slowly spoke: "Sister Mute is here today, I'm afraid it's not just to send a velvet bag, right?" After that, his face turned cold and covered with frost: "Say it! Sister Shizune is here, but what's the matter? ”

After listening to the silence, the smile on her face disappeared, and she was replaced with a solemn face, she blessed Wei Ziyuan and said, "The third lady is really good-natured, it is so easy to guess the meaning of silence." ”

Wei Ziyuan listened, just smiled slightly, but did not speak, she was waiting for the silence to say it.

Shizune frowned and said, "Third Miss, today, the fifth aunt saw blood, and the slave maid had a suspicion. ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Wei Ziyuan was a little interested, so she slowly asked, "What is the doubt?" ”

"I don't know if the third lady knows the skillful embroidery around the lady?" Mute looked at Wei Ziyuan and said.

Wei Ziyuan felt something in her heart, and she nodded: "But the other big girl who is waiting with you by your mother's side, Qiaoxiu?" ”

Mute nodded, and Wei Ziyuan said again: "What's wrong with her?" ”

Mute frowned: "I won't tell you, the slave thinks that this time this matter is only afraid that it has something to do with Qiaoxiu." ”

Wei Ziyuan rolled her eyes, thought to herself in her heart, and said, "How do you know?" ”

Mute's face remained unchanged: "The night before the incident, we were waiting for Mrs. to wash and rest, but suddenly there were three regular sounds outside, but no one paid attention at that time, but it happened that the slave maid's ears were tipped, and she heard it clearly, and at that time, the slave and maid saw Qiaoxiu looking back, but she didn't show it. ”

Speaking of this, she hesitated slightly, and said: "If this is the case, then it will be fine, but after a while, the cat barking suddenly sounded outside, and at this time, Qiaoxiu deliberately came out in front of Mrs.

At this point, the slave maid became suspicious, and the third lady should also know that the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been the most taboo about these beasts and the like, not to mention a cat on weekdays, it is a bird, which is rare to see, but how did it appear in the courtyard of the lady so coincidentally? That's it, but it's just a night cat, but Qiaoxiu went out for almost half a pillar of incense before entering the house again. ”

She paused, and then said, "And that pastry is exactly what Madame ordered to be ordered by Madame Qiao Xiu to the Crescent Moon Pavilion the next day after that night." At that time, the slave maid didn't think too deeply, but she felt a little weird, and she was not at ease, and finally when Aunt Shui went to the courtyard of the fifth aunt, she pretended to bump into Aunt Shui and changed the Crescent Pavilion pastries that were sent by Qiaoxiu. But after today's incident, the slave came back, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she came to tell the third lady. ”

She said a lot in a row, Wei Ziyuan only heard a clever embroidery, and Aunt Shui, she thought carefully about the connection between them in her mind, and suddenly a plan crossed her mind.

She looked at Mute and said, "So, you tell me, you just want to catch Qiaoxiu?" ”

Mute nodded, with a worried face: "Forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, it's just that the slave and maid always feel that if the clever embroidery is not removed, sooner or later, the lady will inevitably suffer!" ”

Wei Ziyuan listened to it, and couldn't help nodding secretly, it seems that this mute is a clever one, and she has an idea in her heart, Wei Ziyuan couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of her mouth, she said, "How come?" Sister Mute is a sincere heart, Yuan'er is ashamed of herself when she hears it, I can't be happy, how can I blame you? ”

As she spoke, her eyes rolled slyly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more indistinct, so she leaned closer to Mute and whispered in her ear: "However, if that's the case, then you have to play a big ticket!" After that, she whispered something in Mue's ear, and her eyes became brighter and brighter, and the surprise at the corners of her mouth became bigger and bigger, until finally, it turned into a knowing smile.

After Wei Ziyuan finished speaking, she sat back in her chair and looked at Wei Ziyuan silently, the surprise in her heart became bigger and bigger, she didn't know why the young lady in front of her was so smart and clever. She bowed her head to Wei Ziyuan and said, "Third Miss, don't worry, the slave and maid will live up to their trust!" ”

Wei Ziyuan nodded, and it happened that Baozhu entered the house at this time, Wei Ziyuan said a few more words to Muyin, and then called Baozhu to send Mute out.

Wei Ziyuan sat quietly on the chair, her eyes shining with a cunning light.

The next morning, something happened.

The eldest lady, who has not held a church for more than ten years, actually raised it today. At about the end of the day, the eldest lady ordered the rooms, and then the church was opened.

Regarding this matter, Wei Ziyuan was noncommittal. As long as the Li family is not removed, the eldest lady will regain her authority sooner or later, and now, it is just right.

After everything Wei Ziyuan and others were cleaned up, it was time for the hour.

Along the way, Wei Ziyuan also saw the unusualness in today's mansion. She couldn't help but smile slightly, her mother's action, I'm afraid that some people are about to bear it.

By the time Wei Ziyuan arrived at the Silent Pavilion, most of the people had already arrived, and all the aunts and concubines were listening to the eldest lady teach them how to behave and behave in an ordinary manner. Although it has not been such a presiding over the morning and dusk for many years, the eldest lady treats all this in an orderly manner, without showing any panic, and the innate calm and graceful demeanor is something that ordinary people can't learn.
