Chapter 13: The Thief

Although the old emperor has long sent people to closely monitor the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion in the name of "protecting the important ministers of the court", but now the old emperor is terminally ill, and the surveillance of the Prime Minister's Mansion will inevitably be relaxed.

"Look at this pomp, the Prime Minister's Mansion is really willing to waste silver." Su Qinghe took Su Nuo'er's hand and walked all the way, and whispered in a whisper, "The flood before, so many people were affected by the disaster and couldn't eat enough to rely on disaster relief materials to fill their stomachs, Nuo'er, do you not propose to the old emperor to let the officials donate?" Guess how much this Prime Minister's Mansion donated? ”

Su Nuo'er raised her eyebrows, "No matter how you say it, it has to be a few thousand taels, right?" She proposed the donation, but her brother did the later arrangement, so she didn't know the amount of the donations from the Prime Minister's Office.

Su Qinghe stretched out two fingers and gestured.

"Twenty thousand taels?" Su Nuo'er guessed, "Isn't Xia Zhuofeng doing business privately, and he has a lot of silver in his hands." ”

Su Qinghe pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Twenty thousand taels? Xia Zhuofeng cried poor in the court and donated two hundred taels! ”

"......" Su Nuo'er was dumbfounded. Especially after listening to Su Qinghe relay to her that her brother saw Xia Zhuofeng crying poor in the court, she was directly silent.

"Although this donation does not have to force the rich to donate more, Xia Zhuofeng made a fortune by looting the people's anointment and making money, but he still has the face to cry poor in front of people? If you don't want to donate, you don't have to donate, and no one forced him, but that face is really disgusting. Su Qinghe said in a low voice, his tone full of mockery.

Su Nuo'er hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, and when she saw Xia Wanwan walking towards this side, she "shh ”

"Sister Noor, Miss Qinghe, so you are here." Xia Wanwan had a slight smile on her face, wearing a pink dress, and her little face with delicate makeup was full of girlish vitality, which looked very bright and moving.

Su Qinghe squinted his eyes and smiled: "Miss Xia is exceptionally good-looking today, comparing this delicate flower to the bottom." Su Qinghe has long practiced the ability to see people and talk nonsense, and if she doesn't listen carefully, she really can't hear the dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Miss Qinghe, don't make fun of it, the guests in the flower-viewing hall in front have all arrived, let's hurry over." Saying that, Xia Wanwan led the way in front, and the strange flowers and trees would stop to explain to them, and the friendship of the landlord was authentic.

In the flower-viewing hall, as soon as Su Nuo'er entered, she was almost dazzled by the sea of purple and red in front of her. Okay, all the ladies at the table are dressed up in colorful colors, and all kinds of fat powder flavors are mixed together, and she just wants to sneeze when she smokes it. Fortunately, Su Nuo'er looked down at the dress of herself and Su Qinghe, and both of them chose a low-key water blue color with a tacit understanding, which looked particularly inconspicuous in a group of popular girls.

"Sister." Su Shuang'er ran over, "Why did my sister come so late, I've been playing here for a while." ”

As soon as she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Shuang'er said that she had a stomachache and went to the toilet, and it was fake to dare to have a stomachache, and it was true that she came here to make friends with other official women? Su Nuo'er saw through Su Shuang'er's thoughts, and she didn't break it, and smiled slightly: "Is your stomach comfortable?" ”

Su Shuang'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, okay, it's much better to drink hot tea just now." ”

"This is Miss Su Nuo'er Su from the General's Mansion, right?"

Just as she was about to enter the table, a clean-faced boy suddenly walked in front of Su Nuo'er, blocking her way.

Su Nuo'er frowned slightly, "I am, what's wrong?" ”

Brother Gongzi obviously didn't expect Su Nuo'er to ask his name first, so he said: "Miss Su is really as informal as rumored, ordinary girls will ask me which son I am when they see me, but Miss Su is different, it's really interesting." ”

"This son, you also said it, that's an ordinary girl, my Su Nuo'er has always been informal, and it's not interesting." Su Nuo'er frowned directly, this person looked like an elegant scholar, but his eyes were a little dull, and there were so many heavy dark circles under his eyes, even his steps were a little vain, and there was a vague smell of fat powder on his body.

Su Nuo'er disdained his accosting, went directly to the table, and sat next to Su Qinghe and Su Shuang'er, without even giving him a look.

Brother Gongzi turned around and re-entered his seat with some embarrassment, and there was a burst of laughter in the men's seat, making fun of the boy's brother who actually missed.

"Wen Qing, it shouldn't be, that Su Nuo'er has a heavenly appearance, but he doesn't have any knowledge, it stands to reason that Wen Qing can succeed as soon as you make a move." The fox friends on the side teased.

Brother Gongzi named Wen Qing raised his head hatefully and poured a glass of wine, glanced at them angrily and said, "Shut up!" The more this happens, the more challenging it becomes, look at it, if I can't get that Sun'er at this flower-viewing banquet, I'll cover your food money for a month! ”

As soon as Wen Qing's words came out, it immediately caused a low cheer.

The male and female seats were opposite each other, a little far away, and they lowered their voices to speak, and the seats on the other side could not really hear it, but Su Nuo'er s ears still clearly heard their conversation.

A rabble. Su Nuo'er was too lazy to worry about that group of people, and just wanted to turn her head to talk to Su Qinghe, so she let Su Shuang'er pull her sleeve.

"Sister, sister, I'm not feeling well." Su Shuang'er clutched her stomach with pain on her face, "My stomach hurts again." ”

Su Nuo'er hurriedly supported her, "How did you get it?" Wasn't it okay just now? ”

"No, I'm in so much pain, I want to lie down and rest." Su Shuang'er was so painful that she almost wanted to roll, and she pulled Su Nuo'er's sleeve tightly and didn't let go.

"What's going on?" Su Qinghe also stretched out his hand to support Su Shuang'er, and said a little anxiously, "It seems that she is in a lot of pain, shall we find a room for her to rest for a while?" ”

Su Nuo'er wondered in her heart how Su Shuang'er could have a stomachache when she was so dignified, so she felt her pulse to check, it didn't matter, Su Nuo'er's face turned a little cold, Su Shuang'er was pretending.

"Sister, sister, help me go to the back and rest for a while?" Su Shuang'er had tears in her eyes, and she looked like she was in a lot of pain.

If Su Nuo'er didn't know how to heal, she would definitely be deceived by her appearance.

Su Shuang'er didn't know that Su Nuo'er knew how to heal, and she was still acting with all her heart, and she looked like she was in pain and wanted to die.

"Qinghe, you go and talk to Xia Wanwan, and I'll help her go to the backyard to rest." Su Nuo'er helped Su Shuang'er to walk to the backyard.

Su Shuang'er still said "Oops", but in her heart she regretted that she couldn't bring Su Qinghe over. - However, it is not bad to have a Suno'er.

Su Nuo'er helped her into a guest room, and as soon as Su Shuang'er lay down, she said with tears in her eyes: "Good sister, go and bring me a cup of hot tea, my stomach really hurts." ”

"Okay." Su Nuo'er also wanted to see what tricks she wanted to play, so she nodded and went to the front hall to pour tea.

When she came back, Su Shuang'er, who was supposed to be lying on the bed, disappeared.

"Frost?" Before Su Nuo'er put the tea in her hand on the table, she heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Su Shuang'er's shout rang out: "Come on, the thief is in this room!" ”

The door was kicked open, Xia Wanwan and Su Shuang'er rushed in first, and when they saw Su Nuo'er, they were all stunned.

"Where's the thief? Catch him and kill him! How dare you steal my young lady's baby! Xia Wanwan's maid shouted and squeezed in.

Su Nuo'er glanced lightly at the people crowded outside the door to watch the excitement, okay, it turns out that the trap is here.

"What? There are thieves here? Su Nuo'er asked rhetorically.

Xia Wanwan said: "Sister Nuo'er doesn't know, just now I said to let everyone see an amethyst I treasured, who expected it to be stolen, Shuang'er said that she saw the thief." ”

Su Shuang'er immediately said: "I went to the toilet just now when my stomach hurt badly, and when I came back, I saw a figure sneaking into this house!" ”

Well, as soon as she left the table, Xia Wanwan threw away the amethyst and went to pour tea for Su Shuang'erAs soon as she came in, Su Shuang'er said that the thief had entered the house, and the dirt was too obvious, which obviously made Su Nuo'er want to be depressed and vomit blood.

"What about the thief? Did you catch it? Su Nuo'er asked.

"Not yet, since the thief is hiding in this house, it would be good to search for it." Xia Wanwan's face was a little anxious, it seemed that the amethyst was really her treasured treasure, and now that it was stolen, no wonder it was in such a hurry.

It's justβ€”

Su Nuo'er looked at the few maids who walked in front of her, "What does this mean?" ”

Xia Wanwan didn't speak, and the maid beside her spoke: "What do you mean?" Someone saw the thief enter this room with their own eyes, and when we came in, we found that it was Miss Su and you here, isn't it too much of a coincidence? ”

It's going to throw dirty water on her.

Su Nuo'er suddenly smiled, stretched out her arms and cooperated with the maids to search her body.

Nothing, of course.

"What? Dissatisfied? Su Nuo'er keenly caught the schadenfreude in Su Shuang'er's eyes, raised her eyebrows and said to Xia Wanwan, "Do you want to say that I must have hidden the amethyst?" ”

Xia Wanwan was speechless for a while, and the maid hurriedly screamed: "Wow, sure enough, you stole my young lady's treasure, you guys, don't hurry up and search other places!" ”

"What nonsense!" Su Qinghe finally squeezed in, and couldn't help but be angry when she saw Su Nuo'er being slandered, "The concubines of the dignified general's mansion will be rare in your prime minister's mansion?!" This is clearly a framing of you! ”

Who knew that Xia Wanwan was in tears, looked at Su Qinghe and said: "This amethyst was given by my mother before her death, and it is of great significance to Wanwan, but now that it has been stolen, I will inevitably be anxious, if it is not really stolen by Sister Nuo'er, I will definitely apologize and apologize." The left and right are just body searches, so what's the matter? ”

Su Qinghe was almost angry when he heard this, is it not important for a noble concubine to be searched? Xia Wanwan, is this slapping the general's face or ruining Nuo'er's reputation!? "Nonsense!" Su Qinghe was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to give Xia Wanwan a slap.

"Qinghe!"

Su Nuo'er immediately drank her, "Why are you so impulsive?" Don't let people say that we are thieves, and we are angry and ashamed. Glancing at Xia Wanwan, who was raining pear blossoms, she couldn't help sneering, "The left and right are not my room, even if I find something, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Su Qinghe glared at Xia Wanwan angrily, but he was no longer impulsive when he was obedient. "Also, you can't find anything and say that you stole it and hid it, after all, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is comparable to the palace on weekdays, which is Nuo'er can come in if you want to, and you can steal anything you want?"

At this time, among the people who were crowded outside the door to watch the excitement, someone suddenly said: "Don't you know if you don't search secretly?" Who knows if Miss Su took advantage of the departure to go somewhere else. "It was that boy Ge Wenqing who said this.

Immediately, a fox friend chimed in: "That's it, who doesn't know that Miss Su's martial arts are so good, even if it's a cup of tea, you can touch the Prime Minister's Mansion all over." ”

"Less nonsense, search quickly!"

Su Nuo'er's eyes were cold. At the same time, I feel a little sorry for myself. It is said that the status of the concubine of the General's Mansion is noble, but now this noble identity is a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eyes of others. What about the prestige? Without his own prestige, he is still bullied by these dogs and powerful things.

Several maids immediately searched the room, and everyone waited for the result with their movements.

"Found it! Over here! ”

A maid suddenly shouted, and took out a square box from under the pillow, and opened it, it was the amethyst that Xia Wanwan said.
