Chapter 042: Throwing into the Well
After changing his clothes again, Lu Jinhua walked towards Manfang Courtyard.
Originally, she asked An Wen to rest in the house, but the girl was stubborn, afraid that Lu Jinhua would be pinched as a soft persimmon, so she gritted her teeth and secretly followed. When Lu Jinhua found out, he was already less than ten steps away from Manfang Courtyard. The maid who dialed the moon had sharp eyes, and when she saw the two of them, she immediately opened her throat and howled: "The side concubine is here-" Even if you catch An Wen away, it's too late.
While there were not a few pairs of eyes staring at him, Lu Jinhua hurriedly dragged An Wen and said, "Don't act rashly." ”
An Wen nodded her head: "The slave knows." ”
In the main hall room, the moon that had been playing all afternoon was a little tired. She pinched the ends of her hair and gestured in the air, one foot stepped on the soft blanket wantonly, and the other foot was raised high, holding on to the chair, and she was on the ground for a while. Mimigu, who was waiting beside her, was carefully peeling the grapes, while Amir carefully took the grape seeds from her mouth and put them into the silver cup beside her. The house smoked spices that Lu Jinhua had never smelled before, some of them were rich, but they didn't smell bad.
Seeing Lu Jinhua and An Wen coming in, he held the moon and raised the tail of his eyes slightly, "phew" out two grape seeds to the ground, turned over and sat up. On the collar hanging in front of her neck, the animal teeth and turquoise collided with her movements, making a short crisp sound, she giggled, and said happily: "You are a very good dog, you know that a person has less fun, and you called your master!" ”
Xue Bizhi, who was behind the moon, pinched the handkerchief and smiled: "The master and servant play together, it's not fun." After a pause, he said: "Princess Niangniang, anyway, our side concubine has more than one man in the day, how about giving a few more 'gifts' to the side concubine now?" ”
Holding the moon is meaningful: "You squeak, you speak very much to my heart!" His chin was slightly raised, and he looked at Mu Cangzhu: "Cangzhu, you go to that group of small people to pick a few powerful ones, and you can't treat this good, side, and concubine badly." ”
Lu Jinhua's red lips pursed slightly, and his expression was faint, as if he was looking at a group of clowns jumping off the beam.
When a few of them finally stopped talking nonsense, she said softly: "The princess's game, I'm afraid it won't be blessed." I just came here today to ask the princess, are you paying for An Wen's injuries or will you give it to me after you are cured? ”
Zhuyue laughed: "You are too bold, and you dare to ask this palace for silver?" Hongu lets the dog around you play games together, and she is worthy of her! She has no eyesight, she doesn't know how to lift, and she still needs money from the palace? Lu Jinhua, this is the principle of your Xiliang? ”
Amy stepped forward to help: "This dog thing scratched our princess's hand this afternoon, and the princess gave her a few whips that were considered light, are you embarrassed to find it?" Shameless things for the face! ”
Xue Bizhi smiled contemptuously: "Princess Niangniang, didn't the slave tell you, this woman's methods are despicable and lowly, and her face is also first-class thick, but I am afraid that it is thicker than the city wall at the gate of our Xiliang!" Mu Cangzhu gave Mu Cangzhu a look, Mu Cangzhu pursed his lips, hesitating to answer her call.
Although the momentum of holding the moon is great now, today's end of Lu Xue also proves that it is a wise move for her to hug the thigh of the moon, but she has seen with her own eyes how Lu Jinhua is coquettish with Qin Yi, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, even if Qin Yi speaks coldly to Lu Jinhua and ignores her, she has never treated her badly. In case the sky changes one day, wouldn't a minion like her, who is not even as good as Xue Bizhi, be the first to be cleaned up?
In line with the principle of being a man and leaving a line, Mu Cangzhu raised his hand and brushed the broken hair on his forehead, pretending not to see Xue Bizhi's eyes.
It's a pity that she escaped Xue Bizhi and couldn't escape the moon.
"Grey pig! Don't go yet! What are you still doing here? Clumsy, an eyesore! As he spoke, he touched the whip again.
Mu Cangzhu was startled, quickly bowed his head in response, and went to the backyard.
An Wen knew that the woman who held the moon was crazy and was not light or heavy, if she really drew two more whips for Lu Jin, with her small body, something would really happen. She tugged at Lu Jinhua's sleeve again and again, suggesting that she was about to find an excuse to evacuate.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jinhua was determined to find Zhuyue to ask for an explanation, so he took out the marriage decree from his sleeve and held it high above his head.
Xue Bizhi's face changed when she saw it, and she immediately knelt down. Although the rest of the people reacted a little slower, when they saw that it was a holy decree, they all bowed respectfully. Only holding the moon, still sitting on the chaise longue, his face full of leisure.
"You have a holy decree, this palace has a fold, you don't have to kneel at all!"
Lu Jinhua hooked his lips and smiled: "Yes, the princess doesn't have to kneel to me." Glancing at the empty stool at hand, she went to sit down, and with the holy decree in her hand, she summoned An Wen to get up and serve.
The remaining seven or eight people could only kneel silently.
Holding the moon has no intention of telling them to get up, they are all slaves both horizontally and vertically, kneeling is their duty, and she will not stop standing up for them.
Half a cup of tea passed, and Mu Cangzhu came back nervously, with three small servants behind him. The three little guys were born white, their faces were red as if they were burning, I don't know whether they were afraid or ashamed, but they knew that Mu Cangzhu had already told them a lot on the way.
Seeing the room full of kneeling people, Mu Cangzhu was stunned for a moment, and then heard Lu Jinhua's faint voice: "The holy purpose is to go up, seeing the decree is like seeing the king, you still don't kneel?" ”
Mu Cangzhu's knees weakened, and he knelt down with the three people behind him.
An Wen couldn't help but snicker behind Lu Jinhua.
She also thought that the master was angry and wanted to rush directly into it, and then relied on her three-inch tongue to find the moon to ask for an explanation, but she never thought that the master would come up with such a method. Now the golden decree of marriage is firmly held in Lu Jinhua's hand, like a reassuring pill given by the gods. Those who bullied her knelt on the ground like dogs, only promised, and did not dare to come out, which was really relieved!
Estimating that it was almost over, Lu Jinhua pulled the holy decree back into his sleeve and was helped up by An Wen.
"Presumably, the princess doesn't plan to give me this silver. But it doesn't matter, my Tanghe Yuan is not short of that money. She smiled: "The princess may not know my temper very well when she first arrives, I have always been bold, and I have experienced a lot of things in the past few years." If the princess wants to have a conversation with me, I will always welcome you. ”
When I came, it was still bright, but when I left, it was already dark.
The night wind gusted, Lu Jinhua straightened his waist and walked away in the complicated eyes of those maids.
Inside, there was a deathly silence.
Suddenly, he waved his right hand.
The plate of grapes in his hand instantly fell to the ground, and one by one they rolled down. There seemed to be a flash of fire in her eyes, and she got up suddenly, kicked her little boots and stomped on the grapes on the ground, one after another, crushing them fiercely.
In the blink of an eye, the fine velvet blanket was dappled with juice.
Seeing Zhuyue's move, Amir and Mimigu both sighed in their hearts, knowing that they were going to toss for another night in the Manfang Courtyard tonight. Xue Bizhi was afraid that it would affect herself, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "Why should the princess be angry with that little cheap hoof who knows how to use men to support her waist?" Beware of the body that is angry! ”
Mu Cangzhu had the courage to open his mouth and agreed: "Yes, princess Niangniang, what kind of goods and virtues does she have, how can she compare with you?" Rest assured, she's got a madness! ”
"Madness?!" Holding the moon and begging her, "Where is she crazy?" Savvy than anyone I've ever seen in Hongu! Obviously covered in rotten meat, the palace doesn't bother to look at her more, but there is the emperor's support behind this thing that responds to people, and the palace can't dispose of her! ”
"But you can do with those maids!" Xue Bizhi squeezed her eyebrows, "Today's green snow is also half of her dog, do you want to ......?"
Amir frowned: "Don't teach a bad girl, you dog slave!" ”
Xue Bizhi shut up.
Holding the moon's long eyebrows slightly, she thought about Xue Bizhi's words, and asked again: "Then Lu Xue is really from an ordinary maid?" ”
Xue Bizhi nodded indistently: "Yes, Niangniang, she was originally a fire girl, and she didn't even deserve to be a slave like us to lift shoes!" If it weren't for her luck, with the word 'green' in her name, which is the color that the prince likes, who cares about her? ”
"Oh?" Holding the moon approached her, bent down closely, and raised her chin with her fingers, "According to what you mean, the prince doesn't like her?" "Read
Xue Bizhi swallowed her saliva and was cautious: "How can the prince like a vulgar girl?" If you want to like it, you also like you to be so graceful and luxurious, and the country is fragrant! ”
Holding the moon and ending satisfied. She has always been confident in her appearance, although her skin is not as fair as that of Xiliang women, but darker, but her facial features are outstanding, and her figure is recognized as good. As the first beauty of Qingdan, she was tired of listening to the compliments of the dog slaves around her, and now she heard the praise from Xue Bizhi, a woman from Xiliang, the corners of her lips were raised, and the joy in her eyes could not be hidden at all.
After thinking about it, she is so beautiful, Qin Yi avoids her like a tiger and a wolf, she is not a real husband and wife at all, and even claims that she is sick......
"Is the prince really sick?" Holding the moon and staring at Xue Bizhi carefully. After tossing last night, Qin Yi entered the palace angrily, and Amir knew that it was not good for anyone to make trouble, so she persuaded her for a long time before she finally dispelled her idea of looking for a doctor to treat Qin Yi. Qin Yi will definitely not come over tonight, of course Zhuyue must seize the opportunity to ask clearly.
Xue Bizhi didn't dare to say it explicitly, shook her head slightly, and said in a delicate voice: "The slave has been following the prince for more than three years, and she has indeed never been half intimate with the prince. A few of us slaves guessed...... Xu is the prince who was deposed as the prince back then, and the blow was too great, so he couldn't do it. Hurriedly kowtowed three times and continued: "But the prince treats us all first-class, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never throws a face at us." For us slaves, this is a great gift......"
Holding the moon smiled deeply: "You don't want men?" ”
This was said explicitly, Xue Bizhi and Mu Cangzhu were still girls, and they were stunned, and their faces burned hotly.
Holding the moon and waving her hand, she motioned for Amir to close the door.
The rest of the house except for his own people, that is, people who cherish their lives, Xiangyue knew that these minions did not dare to go outside to talk nonsense, with a smile on the corner of her lips, she clapped her hands together, and motioned to Mimigu and Ami'er to help Xue Bizhi and Mu Cangzhu up.
"Tsk, it's a pity," Holding the moon's fingers swept over the smooth little faces of the two, "You two were born lovely, but you wasted two or three years in vain, following a waste man!" Don't worry, this palace treated the minions well when they were in Qingdan, and since you followed me, I won't treat you badly. The finger shifted and landed on one of the kneeling servants: "This is good, it is given to you." ”
Xue Bizhi and Mu Cangzhu's faces turned pale, and they knelt down in front of Zhuyue, begging repeatedly: "The slaves and maids know that Niangniang is for our good, but this is ...... This is really unethical, please take back the kindness! ”
Holding the moon for a moment, he pulled out a small silver knife inlaid with gems from his little boots: "But we are also sisters?" It's just because it's a good thing that this palace thinks about you. If you refuse, this palace will doubt how sincere you are about this palace...... Or take it out and take a look? ”
The two of them were even more frightened, their faces were as pale as earth, and their bodies trembled like chaff, and at the end, Mu Cangzhu's eyelids rolled and he fainted directly. Xue Bizhi was left with her teeth gritted, and she didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Holding the moon and laughing, she shook the silver knife with her hand: "It seems that you are still more powerful." Squeak, since you don't want a man and you don't want to be stripped of your heart, then do something for Hongu, right? Her eyes flickered, and there was a hint of innocence.
"You say......" Xue Bizhi responded timidly, knowing that she had no choice but to refuse.
Holding the moon's eyes narrowed, approaching her: "Go back tonight and ...... the green snow" Seeing Xue Bizhi's eyes widening, she raised her hand and instructed Ami'er: "Why don't you carry this frightened waste inside?" Then he said to the three kneeling servants, "This woman belongs to you, and she has killed the one who counts the palace." ”
This trick was quite effective, Xue Bizhi bit his lip vigorously and stopped talking.
The next day, Lu Jinhua was sleeping soundly with the holy decree in her arms, when she suddenly heard a cry, which frightened her into a thrill and sat up from the bed.
An Wen was unwell, and Lu Jinhua forcibly ordered her not to keep vigil, so the maid who served at night was a relatively down-to-earth and capable Xiangxing in Tanghe Courtyard. Lu Jinhua never expected that something would happen when he handed over the night duty, so he got up upset and opened the door, but it was a little maid holding Xiangxing crying.
"Red cherry blossoms?" Lu Jin called her ambiguously. After all, when dealing with Lu Xue, she rarely brought the two maids out with her, and the maids were dressed similarly.
Hearing Lu Jinhua calling herself, Hong Ying immediately raised her head from Xiangxing's arms, wiped two handfuls of tears with her hands, and sobbed: "Concubine Niangniang, I, our little master, Aunt Xue, she ...... Gone! ”
Lu Jinhua was taken aback: "Why is there no good one?!" ”
"There's nothing good to look at, no," Sakura continued to wipe her tears, "Yesterday, the princess humiliated Aunt Xue like that, and the more Aunt Xue thought about it after she went back, the more unhappy she became, and she didn't eat dinner." I discussed with the hearts and felt that the palace was all the world of the princess and the princess, and it was useless to say it, so I decided not to make ......a noise, "I sniffed and said: "Last night was the slave maid's vigil, and the slave maid was thirsty half an hour ago, so she went back to the room to drink some water." After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of the well in the yard 'plopping'. At that time, the slave maid only said that some blind cat had fallen into the water, but did not look at it, and went back to the room to continue to guard Aunt Xue. Who knows...... I don't know that Aunt Xue's bed is empty! Only then did the slave and maid react, Aunt Xue couldn't think of throwing herself into the well! ”
Don't want to open a well......
Lu Jinhua was a little distracted for a while, but he felt that something was wrong.
In her impression, Lu Xue is very arrogant, stupid in words and deeds, straight in temperament, and not good at calculation. If such a person can't think about it because of shame, he will probably be splattered with blood on the spot, why is he just not eating or drinking when he is covered in injuries, and throws himself into a well at the end? And also choose the time when the red cherry blossoms happen to be absent? It was her room, her territory, but if there was a pair of scissors, she wouldn't have to wait for Sakura to leave.
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Lu Jinhua's face sank, and he grabbed Hongying's wrist and asked, "Where is the corpse of Green Snow?" ”
"Already, has been taken away by her family and burned," Hong Sakura choked up, and added, "She only has a brother who is a good gambler, and that brother originally expected her to eat and drink spicy food, but now that his wishful thinking has come to naught, he even scolded him, and I don't know if he will be willing to spend money to send Aunt Xue to burn it." ”
“…… What did the prince say? Lu Jinhua's face became even heavier. There was a dead person in the house, and it was impossible for Qin Yi not to ask.
Hong Ying's chin snorted: "With such a humble status as a slave, if you die, you will die, how can you distract the prince?" ”
Lu Jinhua sighed, in the eyes of those royal people, I am afraid that she is all despicable, not to mention a child like Lu Xue?
"Well, I'll go to your yard and have a look."
The red cherry blossoms were silent, and they looked at Lu Jinhua in a daze. When Lu Jinhua's eyes looked back, she shrank for a moment and walked forward to lead the way.
The Spiral Pear Pavilion of Luxue is smaller than Tanghe Courtyard, but after all, it is a person who has been with Qin Yi for more than a year, and the flowers and trees in front of the door are very prosperous. In the small garden, on the left is the room where the red hearts and cherry blossoms rest, and on the right is the place where the sundries are piled up. In the courtyard there is a locust tree, now covered with turquoise buds, hidden between the leaves. Under the locust tree, there is the well in the mouth of the red cherry tree.
There is no stone around the well, a circle of sand and soil, Lu Jinhua looked at it for a moment, the shoe prints near the ground were messy, it was obvious that too many people gathered when the corpse was fished, but there was a footprint in it, and a lotus flower on the sole of the shoe seemed to imitate the meaning of "step by step lotus".
Such an ingenious idea is not something that ordinary maids would think of. Lu Jinhua looked sideways at the red cherry blossoms and asked, "How many people have been here today, have you counted?" ”
Red Hearts walked out of the house, still holding the sandalwood box where Lu Xue's favorite collar was placed, and when she heard Lu Jinhua's question, she replied in a low voice: "The slaves and maids have counted, there are a total of seven people who have come, they are ......"
The names were sometimes familiar, sometimes unfamiliar, but none of them were women. Lu Jinhua listened silently, and walked all the way along the pattern of the lotus sole until he reached the stone steps.
"Someone has been here, and, moreover, to the room." Lu Jinhua squatted down and brushed his fingers over the shoe pattern: "This is a woman's sole print, but with her alone, she will definitely not be able to restrict Lu Xue, at least there is a helper by her side." ”
Heart's heart jumped, and she asked in a low voice: "What does the side concubine mean, Aunt Xue was killed by someone?" ”
The corners of Lu Jinhua's lips were slightly raised, judging from the current situation, Lu Xue was not only killed by someone, but also killed by his own people. Qingzao Pavilion is the two maids of red hearts and red cherries, this ghost is either red hearts or red cherries, colluding with outsiders, and there is such a "aunt can't think about it, and she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well".
It's just that both of these people are suspicious, and she can't judge it for a while, so she can only pretend not to know for the time being.
"That's probably the case, but I'm not a fast catcher after all, so I don't know if it's superfluous," Lu Jinhua got up and stroked the hem of his skirt, "Aunt Xue is gone, what are your two maids' plans?" ”
Red hearts and red cherry blossoms looked at each other. They had just followed the light of some green snow, and the green snow was dead, so they could only go back to the small kitchen to be the lowliest fire girls.
was worried about the future, and listened to Lu Jinhua coldly: "Since I don't have a plan, then I'll go and tell Steward Zhu later, find him and ask for the two of you." I'm a sister with Green Snow, you are also her sisters, if the future is not comfortable, she will not be happy. ”
Red hearts and red cherry blossoms immediately knelt down: "Thank you, Concubine Niang!" Slaves and maidservants will serve you wholeheartedly! ”
