Chapter Twenty-Six: Catch That Double
The west courtyard was quiet, and the mother-in-law who watched the courtyard door didn't know where to hide, and she didn't even see a figure.
He Shi muttered in his heart, how this west courtyard looks very different from the main house, when she just went to the main house of Qiushiyuan, as soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, there was a mother-in-law to greet her, and she diligently sent a message inside, and the servants along the way were all full of spirits, smiling and greeting her, and serving her without leaking, but there was not even a gatekeeper here.
How did she know that the people who were serving in the main room were all brought by Xiao Rongyue from the Xiao family, and the monthly money was rich, and there was a reward for the errands, how could there be no one who didn't save enough energy to listen to the orders, Xiao Rongyue disrupted the people sent by the Xiaoliu family, and said that if there was a little half-heartedness, he would be sold to Lingnan Road as a bitter slave, and this group of people didn't dare to be lazy, but after a few days of hard work, the main room looked ordinary, but it was like an iron bucket inside, and it was difficult for outsiders to intervene.
Xiao Rongyue didn't seem to know this, and frowned and asked Camellia: "Who is on duty in this courtyard today?" Why don't you see anyone, teach the second aunt to see the joke. ”
He smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's common for people in this yard to cheat and cheat, just take care of it when you go back, what's the matter." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the closed door of the study, and sneered secretly, it has only been a long time, and it is the second time in this study, and it is really not ashamed.
She didn't show anything on her face, and said to Xiao Rongyue with a smile: "San Lang is a good scholar, I just hope that Erlang can touch his luck, and he can also earn a future and come back, and also earn some face for me." ”
Xiao Rongyue instructed Camellia to open the door, and walked over with He: "The second aunt is too modest, the second brother is full of poetry and books, and he will definitely be able to make a move in the autumn of this year, and teach the second aunt to be happy." ”
He was most willing to listen to this, and smiled for a while: "Accept your auspicious words." ”
But Camellia pushed the door, pushed it several times and didn't open it, and was a little surprised for a while: "What's the matter?" This door clearly has no deadbolts. ”
Xiao Rongyue was about to ask, but He's eyes flashed, and he clearly heard the voice of Suo Suo behind the door, and hurriedly instructed the maid Jin Gui behind him: "Go and help Camellia, but I don't have any eyesight." ”
Xiao Rongyue stood in place with a smile unchanged: "This study has not been repaired for many years, but I am afraid that the doors and windows are also a little old and stuck." ”
Jin Gui got the second lady's order, took out the strength to eat, and half-pushed and half-knocked the door open, only to hear an oops, someone was knocked to the ground, and he wanted to avoid the side in a panic.
He and Xiao Rongyue looked over together, only to see the maid Jin Silk beside Pei Erniang falling to the ground in embarrassment, facing the sky on her back, looking at them so frightened that her face was colorless, and she was about to get up and avoid in a panic, but she fell hard, and she didn't get up in a hurry.
"It's not ...... Gold wire? He was taken aback and exclaimed, "Why are you here?" ”
As she spoke, she strode in, stretching her neck out: "Why don't you see your lady, could it be that she is also here?" ”
Before she finished speaking, she was about to walk to the screen, and at a glance she saw that there were still wine and food on the table, most of which had been moved, and the stove cooking wine was still burning, but the people eating wine and food were gone.
She hurriedly turned her head to look at Xiao Rongyue, who walked in behind her with a calm face: "This is strange, why is the golden silk here, there are also drinks and food on this table, could it be ......?"
As she spoke, she commanded Jin Gui in a loud voice: "Go and call someone quickly, I'm afraid that Jin Si will quietly break into the study and steal it, and take her for careful interrogation." ”
But he kept moving behind the screen, and he was just bumping into Du Huo who strode out with an ugly face: "Second aunt, I called her here." ”
Du Huo's robe was a little messy, and his expression was not very good-looking, he walked to the screen and stopped He, but his eyes were looking at Xiao Rongyue behind He, his eyes were fierce and angry, and he was clearly angry.
It's a pity that Xiao Rongyue was not afraid at all, but raised her eyebrows, stood aside silently, and only watched He Shi stretch out his head behind the screen to look hard, and muttered in his mouth: "This is strange, what are you doing when you call Pei Erniang's maidservant to come to you, the door is still closed during the day!" ”
Du Huo could hardly hold back his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Second aunt, what do you have to say!" ”
He glanced at him, and promised in his mouth: "That's it, that's it, let's go out and talk about ......."
But when Du Huo took two steps forward and leaked a vacancy, his slightly fat body made a flexible turn and rushed in from the side of the screen, followed by a sharp and smug voice: "This is not the second lady of the Pei family, why are you here!" ”
Du Huo's face was pale, staring at the back of the screen, his hand clenched into a fist in his sleeve, but he slowly put it down, turned his head to look at Xiao Rongyue, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "What the hell are you going to do?!" ”
Xiao Rongyue glanced at him, her face calm: "It was the second aunt who wanted to ask for two pieces of ink to go back to Erlang, so she came here with me." ”
She didn't say she was coming, He insisted on coming, she had to accompany her, as for the rest of the matter, then she couldn't care about it, right?
The look on He Shi's face at this time was indescribably weird, his eyebrows moved as if he was frightened, but the corners of his mouth rose as if he was smiling, and pulled out a person from behind the screen: "San Lang's daughter-in-law, take a look, who is this!" ”
Pei Erniang's small tuanhua half arm has been torn crookedly, the falling horse bun is also loose, and several locks of hair have fallen on her neck, looking at Xiao Rongyue and He Shi in horror, Chu Chu pitifully tears, but he looked at Du Huo again.
"How could the second lady be in San Lang's study, the door is still closed during the day, look at this appearance, who knows how to ...... in it?"
He raised his voice, and the spit stars were about to fly to Pei Erniangzi's face, and he couldn't hide his excitement, hoping to teach more people to hear it.
Du Huo interrupted her loudly: "Second aunt, this matter is related to the reputation of the Du family, don't talk nonsense!" ”
He sneered, looked at Xiao Rongyue, and waited for her, a serious sufferer, to speak, so that her aunt could justifiably make a fuss.
Xiao Rongyue sighed in her heart, what kind of pickled things are this, but she can't ignore it.
"My grandfather has always admired Du Sanlang's talented character and admired the Du family's upright style, so he agreed to this marriage and supported San Lang to go to Chang'an Taixue, but I never thought that you would be such a character!" She raised her head, looked angry, and pointed at Pei Erniang, who was shrinking her head: "Less than five days after the wedding, you actually ...... with her in the study"
"It's really embarrassing!" Xiao Rongyue seemed to be angry, and turned her head and flicked her sleeves, "Second aunt, I really can't settle down in the Du family if something like this happens, I'll leave first......"
She held the camellia, and her steps out were a little staggering, it seemed that she was really sad and disappointed, which is also human nature, who sees the newlywed husband messing with other women one after another, will be embarrassed, her gaffe is normal.
When she got out of the study and walked out for a while, Xiao Rongyue let go of Camellia's hand, her steps became steady, and she walked towards the main room with a cool fan, and smiled without looking back: "Go and order the dinner, the prepared hare pot can't be wasted." ”
