Chapter 231: Intended
Three days later, Zhou Ping'an accompanied the tortoiseshell back to the door. Both of them are born to the Hou family, so for the couple, one of the more important things than returning to the door is to thank the original master. Because both of them worked by Zhou Hexi's side before, even if they were later transferred to the tavern, they were still recorded in Zhou Hexi's name. Therefore, the two of them entered the Xi Garden together.
Zhou Hexi knew that they were coming, and gifts, rewards, and tea should have been prepared early.
When Zhou Ping'an strode into the door with the tortoiseshell, Zhou Hexi immediately paid attention to the tortoiseshell, and saw that she was wearing a big red skirt, combing the woman's hair bun, and inserting a few unique silver hairpins in her hair, showing a dignified and demure style. She smiled between her eyebrows, her pretty face was shy, and her head was slightly lowered, and she looked like a bride.
With just one glance, Zhou Hexi was relieved.
The two saluted, and the tortoiseshell immediately took a few steps closer to stare at Zhou Hexi's left foot, and the circles under her eyes were red.
"How do you take care of the eldest lady? In just a few months, our master has really suffered a lot. Maybe she couldn't hold back, tears rolled down in an instant, which provoked Zhou Hexi to panic for a while, and hurriedly asked her to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's none of their business, I guess you have also heard that there is a section of the roadbed in the middle street that sinks, and suddenly a deep pit is concave, and it is night...... It was a pure accident. ”
The word accident, Zhou Hexi almost gritted his teeth and said. What happened last night, this morning came to a conclusion, the roadbed sank. It is said that under the supervision of Emperor Yongchang, the three parties investigated overnight, searched for evidence, and finally found such a reason after a hard night.
As for the two chamberlains, when they went back, they were scolded by Queen Xiao with a cane of fifty, and then demoted to the court to work as coolies.
The emperor attaches so much importance to it and uses such vigorous and resolute means, as a little Houmen girl, what else can Zhou Hexi say? Until there is solid evidence, she can only remain silent and vigilant.
Zhou Ping'an wanted to speak several times, obviously, he didn't believe that it was an accident at all. Last night on the fifteenth, the moon was big and bright, were the two attendants who drove the car blind? As long as people are not stupid, everyone will think like this, but the top doesn't think like this.
Suddenly remembering something, Zhou Ping'an said in a deep voice: "Miss, do you remember the last time Ma Biaozi died in our Zhouji Tavern?" ”
Zhou Hexi immediately looked at him, and naturally understood what Zhou Ping'an was going to say, but she didn't want the young couple to get involved, so she interrupted: "There is a new osmanthus wine brewed in the house, and it has been dug out and drunk. ”
Zhou Ping'an wanted to open his mouth, but was shocked back by a warning look from the tortoiseshell, so he had to give up for the time being.
At lunchtime, Zhou Hexi called Zhou Heyue and Zhou Heyu sisters to accompany them, and they became a table of their own. The tortoiseshell was accompanied by Onyx and Jin Ling to form a table. Zhou Ping'an was arranged in the side hall and accompanied by Li Ren. Xiyuan has not been so lively for a long time, and everyone is extremely happy, only Onyx is alone, and he glances at the tortoiseshell from time to time, and he twists it.
As she had felt the previous times, she always felt that the tortoiseshell had changed, but if she was asked where the specific change was, she couldn't tell for a while.
For example, as soon as she entered the door, she accused them of not taking good care of the eldest lady, which was completely vexatious. That night, everyone knew that the eldest lady was announced into the palace by His Majesty's dictation, not to mention her, even the county lord of Qinghui did not bring anyone to serve with her, are they bigger than the face of the maid of the county lord of Qinghui?
Also, the tortoiseshell never shed a tear in the past......
When Onyx was thinking, he suddenly saw the tortoiseshell raise his glass and get up to toast to the master, and after the toast, he knelt solemnly in front of the master and said, "Miss, the slave still wants to return to you to serve......
