Chapter XXIX
Mrs. Luo's recent explosion point is very high, so Wang Jinshui's proposal was a little harsh in her ears when she heard it, which made her immediately look at her angrily and reprimand: "Mouthy! Could it be that I still want you to teach me how to do it?! Do what you have to do, it's not your turn to worry about anything else! β
Wang Jinshui saw that Mrs. Luo's temper was a little more irritable than usual, so he closed up smartly at the moment, and bowed down after reluctantly confessing, and did not dare to be lazy after leaving Cen Mansion, and immediately went to Aotou Village, where Gu Zheng's mother and daughter lived before entering Cen Mansion, and concealed his identity and quietly inquired about the big and small news related to Gu Zheng's mother and daughter.
After Wang Jinshui left, Mrs. Luo thought about it and felt that what he said was also somewhat reasonable, so she asked Chen's mother to quietly arrange for someone to monitor Gu Zheng's mother and daughter's every move, and instructed them to come to her as soon as they found anything suspicious.
But Gu Liniang didn't know that she had been suspected by Mrs. Luo, and she still lived a rich life with big fish and meat, good clothes and good food......
In the afternoon of this day, after a full meal and a nap, Gu Liniang couldn't stay in the house a little, only to see that she pulled Gu Zheng, who was lazily leaning on the beauty couch to read, and asked Gu Zheng to accompany her to the garden with a smile: "Nannan, you finally have a day off today, don't nest in the house to read, go out with your mother!" It's been a long time since you've been on a garden with your mother! β
Gu Zheng couldn't resist Gu Liniang, so she could only let her pull and walk slowly towards the garden, first passing through several rockeries along the way, and then bypassing the flowerbeds full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and slowly walking east along the tree-lined path to the east of the flowerbeds...... Gu Zheng and Gu Liniang walked all the way to the corridor in the northeast corner, and the mother and daughter walked along the quiet corridor while carefully looking at the one hundred and eight colorful pictures painted on the vermilion pillars.
This Cen Mansion occupies an extremely wide area, and it is only a garden in the backyard for people to play, and several verandahs have been built that are easy to play, so that Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh frequently after a visit: "This Cen Mansion is really rich!" There are two or three verandahs in this garden alone, and there are several pavilions that climb high and look into the distance to enjoy the scenery, and there are also a few large and small ponds and lotus ponds together......"
Hearing this, Spoon smiled and explained to Gu Zheng: "The girl doesn't know, the curl gallery we visited before was generally built on the top of the blue pond or the big lake, specially used for enjoying flowers and fish; At present, the corridor we are visiting is built in the middle of the grass and trees, which is used for enjoying the shade and enjoying the paintings; There is also the double-storey gallery, which is used to climb up and let people overlook the whole garden. β
The curved corridor in the mouth of the spoon is actually a winding, tortuous verandah, and the double-layer corridor is a two-story corridor with two floors; However, this corridor is quite interestingβββ the corridor is also known as the outer corridor, that is, a partition wall is erected in the middle of the double-sided empty corridor, so that the left and right sides of the wall form a long corridor.
The partition wall erected in the middle of the two corridors is embedded with carved leaky windows, which allows people to watch the scenery of the opposite corridor through the leaky windows, and can also allow men and women who are inconvenient to see each other quietly through the leaky windows, which can not only avoid suspicion through the wall, but also get closer to talk and talk...... So after Gu Zheng listened to the spoon's introduction and gossip, he decided in his heart that this corridor was the best place for men and women in Cen Mansion to date and fall in love!
However, when Gu Zheng and Gu Liniang visited this corridor, they felt fresh at first, and they were quite interested in looking at the scenery opposite through the carved leaky window for a while.
In this way, Mrs. Wu, who had been bent over her waist and silently hid in the corridor separated by a wall, quietly followed Gu Zheng's mother and daughter all the way down, quietly breathed a sigh of reliefβββ it turned out that this Mrs. Wu was the person installed by Mrs. Luo, and her duty was to find a way to quietly follow them as soon as Gu Zheng and her daughter left Tingquan Courtyard, observe their every move, eavesdrop on every word they said, and then report to Mrs. Luo in time.
This Mrs. Wu did this kind of thing for Mrs. Luo and collected intelligence information related to the aunts, so she followed Gu Zheng and the others all the way from outside the Tingquan Courtyard to the corridor, and Gu Zheng and the others didn't notice it at all!
Even later, Spoon Er and Zhen'er led wormwood and nightshade and a few little maids to leave together, and turned back to get brocade mats, snacks, tea sets and other things for Gu Zheng's mother and daughter, Gu Liniang took Gu Zheng's hand and said that she was private, and Mrs. Wu still followed them closely, and her deeds were well hidden!
Because the two corridors are only separated by one wall, and there is a ventilated window embedded in the wall, the conversation of Gu Zheng's mother and daughter came very clearly from the carved leaky window, which made the more Mrs. Wu listened, the more excited she became, and soon overheard the news that Mrs. Luo was most concerned about.
After overhearing the useful news, Mrs. Wu immediately got up quietly and walked back, avoiding the spoons, chopsticks and others who came back with things, and strode to the main room to invite merit with a happy face......
As soon as Mrs. Wu arrived at the main room, she was led to Mrs. Luo, and when Mrs. Luo saw that she had come to speak, her face was overjoyed, and she immediately asked eagerly: "Mrs. Wu, but what news have you found?" β
Mrs. Wu immediately stepped forward to flatter, and poured out all the words she had overheard before: "Back to Mrs., the villain just followed her aunt and cousin all the way from Tingquan Courtyard to the corridor, and after going to the corridor, the aunt and grandmother broke up the maids, and then she told the cousin to let the cousin ......."
The news brought by Mrs. Wu made Mrs. Luo's face full of joy, and she also asked her to immediately send someone to bring a message to Wang Jinshui: "Peony, you ask someone to send a message to Wang Jinshui and let him go to Aotou Village...... Tell him to go and come back quickly! β
The maid Peony didn't dare to slack off after getting the order, so she went down to make someone pass the word, and only then did she lift the curtain and bumped into Chen's mother who was hurrying to the house!
If it were the usual, Mother Chen would have scolded Peony a few times for "little hooves that don't have long eyes", but this time Mother Chen didn't even care about looking at Peony more, she only hurriedly ran to Mrs. Luo, panting and said: "Madam, the old slave just got the newsβββ then Gu Liniang wants to stretch out her hand again, and she shouldn't care about it!" β
Mrs. Luo was in a good mood at the moment, and when she thought that she could soon drive Gu Liniang out of the Cen Mansion, she automatically removed Gu Liniang from the threat list, and she thought that Gu Liniang no longer had any threat to her.
Therefore, Chen's mother's words did not make Mrs. Luo immediately anxious as in the past, only to see her arranging the hairpin ring in front of the carved bronze mirror, and said unhurriedly: "The day hasn't fallen yet, look at you in a hurry?" What kind of system is panicked? What's the matter? You take it slowly, Gu Liniang's village woman can't afford to make any big waves, and I will soon let her plant a big heel fight and get out of our Cen Mansion! β
Chen's mother didn't know that Mrs. Wu had just brought good news to Mrs. Luo, so she was very surprised by Mrs. Luo's reaction, but Chen's mother didn't bother to ask carefully, and only told the news she had just inquired about: "Madam, the old slave listened to the maid in the old lady's house, and the old lady just praised Gu Liniang a few words, and praised her for following Mrs. You to handle the eldest girl's family affairs, and she learned a lot of skills!" β
This old lady just casually praised Gu Liniang a few words, who would have thought that Gu Liniang would take it seriously, and her tail would go to the sky, and she was ashamed to ask the old lady to hand over the second girl's family affairs to her in the future, and said that she would not need your help next time, Mrs., and she would be able to handle the second girl's family affairs properly! What a shameless, uninformed thing! β
"What did you say?!"
As soon as the matter involved the baby girl Cen Erniang, Mrs. Luo really lost her previous calmness, and immediately slapped the table with a "snap", and said angrily: "What kind of thing is she?!" Dare to fight the idea of Erniang's family! She wouldn't want to give the old lady any bad ideas again, and let the old lady listen to her and order a family affair for Erniang at will, right?! β
The more Mrs. Luo thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, for a while she was afraid that Gu Liniang would really do such a thing, and for a while she was afraid that Gu Liniang would do it, Mrs. Tai really responded in a daze, and finally harmed her baby girl for life!
