Chapter 54: Troubles Hang Around
It was a particularly stuffy night, and there was not a single wind pouring into the half-open window lattices.
Gan Peilin had a very depressed dream. In her dreams, the person she was looking for was always one step away from meeting her. The irritability made her sleep particularly uncomfortable.
When it was dawning, it rained heavily.
The wind chair was holding the half-open window lattice, and the sound woke Gan Peilin up.
"Brittle core." Gan Peilin simply sat up, only to find that his body was sticky and uncomfortable. "Crispy core?"
I shouted twice, but no one answered. Gan Peilin thought she was asleep, so she changed her clothes, put on her cloak and went out of the room.
Strangely, the door to the lower courtyard was actually open, and some lights were shining through.
It should be an accident, Gan Peilin thought so, and walked over quickly.
Sure enough, the people who were waiting in the Star Picking Tower were all gathered there, as if they were looking around to see something.
"Brittle core." Gan Peilin called.
Crispy Core saw her at this time: "Miss, why are you here?" ”
"What's wrong?" Gan Peilin frowned and asked.
"A little guy fell off the roof...... Swallowed. "Crisp Core's face is not very good-looking.
"How so?" Gan Peilin was not surprised. "Okay, how did he go to the roof?"
Gan Peilin walked in as he spoke.
The house slaves had already moved out of the way and maintained a saluting posture.
The little guy on the ground looked young, and a pool of blood on the back of his head was diluted by the rain and slowly flowed into a piece.
"It was raining and the roof was leaking, so he wanted to go up and cover the tiles." Crispy Core was also a little uncomfortable: "He was pointed over by the housekeeper to do chores, and he served the young lady for a month." Who knew it would be ......"
"Carry the man down first, inform his family, and get more money." Gan Peilin is also regretful. Human life is sometimes so fragile that no one can predict what will happen next. But the truth is understood, but the discomfort cannot be avoided.
"It's all gone." Chen Rui ordered someone to carry him away, and sent away the onlookers. Seeing that there was no one around, he flew onto the roof.
"You...... Watch out. Crisp Core was startled by his sudden move, and his heart jumped suddenly.
Chen Rui braved the rain and carefully inspected the roof tiles.
Gan Peilin entered the room with the crispy core, the roof was still dripping, and the room was really wet and uncomfortable.
The bed where the servant slept had not yet been made, and the quilt had been lifted in the corner. It seems to be waiting for its owner to come back.
"Crisp Core, you have someone pack up his things and go back and send them to his house." Gan Peilin said regretfully: "People are gone, it's good to keep some things, and think about it a lot." ”
Before Chen Rui entered the room, he patted the rain on his body: "Miss, the servant has checked the tile, and it is indeed loose." And the room in his room was blocked by the tree in front of the door, and it was cooler on weekdays, and moss grew on the tiles. It rained again, and when my feet slipped, I would accidentally stumble. ”
"When the rain stops, let people repair the roof of the lower courtyard. There are other problems, which should also be discovered in time. Gan Peilin sighed: "These silver, the Chinese guild in Gan Mansion will come out, and there is no need to save it." Human life is worth more than silver. ”
"Yes." Chen Rui saw that she was uncomfortable, and his heart was also sullen and uncomfortable. "It's all because the minions didn't do their best."
"I don't blame you." Gan Peilin stared at him, and said with relief: "You have to pay attention to the outside things for me, and you have to cultivate our own eyes and ears." Every room in the house also depends on you to stare at the news. is already busy, no one can predict such an accident, just pay attention to it in the future. ”
Chen Rui nodded and didn't say anything more.
But the brittle core felt sorry for Gan Peilin: "Miss, the sky has just dawned, or you can go back to the room to rest for a while." It's raining, and it's inconvenient to go to the old lady to say goodbye. ”
"I'm still going." Gan Peilin cheered up: "It's a matter of human life, and I always have to explain it to my grandmother." ”
"The slave accompanied the young lady to change her clothes." The brittle core is worried that there is no umbrella.
Chen Rui turned around and took a piece of cotton cloth, stretched out his arms above his head, and shielded Gan Peilin from the rain.
The three of them hurried back to the front yard.
The news of someone having an accident in Xingxinglou reached the ears of Mrs. Gan and Mo Yanqing one step faster than Gan Peilin.
When Gan Peilin rushed over, Mo Yanqing was already waiting in the Zen Heart Courtyard.
"Say hello to my grandmother, say hello to my mother." Gan Peilin wore a honey-colored skirt, and a green jade hosta hairpin on the sideburns, which was generous and warm.
"I heard there's another accident in your room?" Mo Yanqing's face was tight, and her tone was harsh. "Isn't there a time for your yard to stop? It didn't take long for the thief to enter the house last time, and this happened again? I don't know what it was colliding with, why it's so unlucky. ”
Bad luck naturally refers to Gan Peilin.
Mrs. Gan's face was faintly bad, and her fingers kept playing with a string of Buddhist beads: "It's all things that have passed, and what else is being mentioned." Accidents like this, you can't prevent it as a housewife, how can you blame Peilin. ”
Mo Yanqing was pushed back like this, and her face was not good. But he still endured it and didn't have a seizure: "What my mother said is that I was indeed too anxious." Thinking that in a few days, Pu Yang will be back, if these things reach the ears of the master, it will finally be bad. ”
"yes." Mrs. Gan looked at her slightly, sighed, and said, "The battle ahead is important, and these things don't have to be resolved until then." Peilin, how did you deal with it? ”
"If you go back to your grandmother, your granddaughter will send him home and send him some comfort money, which will be enough to deal with the funeral and settle his parents."
"Hmm." Mrs. Gan nodded slightly: "Although silver can't bring people back to life, it can give some comfort to the living, and it's okay." ”
Mo Yanqing obviously felt that Mrs. Gan was biased towards Gan Peilin, and she was depressed. "What Mother said. That's the end of it. The daughter-in-law will have the rest of the bricks and tiles in the renovated house carefully inspected to make sure that nothing like this happens again. ”
"It's fine." Mrs. Gan thought for a moment, and then said, "It's hard for you to take care of the big and small things in the house alone. Ask the Liu family to help you cook. ”
"Mother......" Mo Yanqing was about to refuse, when she saw the housekeeper coming in quickly. In front of the subordinates, the words that come to the mouth can only be swallowed hard.
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Gan's gaze fell on the butler's face.
"Back to the old lady, the sedan chair of the Lu family's housemother has stopped outside the mansion gate, saying that she wants to see the eldest lady." The housekeeper replied truthfully.
Gan Peilin couldn't help but wonder that she hadn't gone to the trouble of the Lu family yet, but the Lu family came to the door instead.
"What's wrong with you girl?" Mo Yanqing didn't give her a good look.
"Uh-huh." Mrs. Gan coughed lightly, intending to remind Mo Yanqing not to lose her sense of proportion, and then asked the housekeeper: "Which Lu family?" ”
"Old lady Hui is the wife of Lord Lu Zhong, Lu Tingwei." The butler replied. Now there is only one Lu family in the court. I really don't know why the old lady would ask.
"Invite Mrs. Tingwei to come to the Zen Heart Temple." Mrs. Gan raised her eyebrows slightly: "It just so happens that Pei Lin is also there." ”
"Yes." The butler stepped back on his front foot.
Mrs. Gan glared at Mo Yanqing: "You didn't ask anything, what kind of fire are you in a hurry to spread?" ”
Mo Yanqing didn't feel good in her heart, what did she say. In the past, she hindered King Shengqing's face, but she held Jilu in the palm of her hand. Now that the Metropolitan Governor seems to have taken a fancy to Gan Peilin's girl, the old lady's heart is not good.
"Peilin, what the hell is going on?" Mrs. Gan saw that Mo Yanqing was silent, so she diverted her attention.
Gan Peilin shook his head: "I said a few words to Sister Lu in the palace yesterday, but it was nothing special. ”
"Could it be that you don't want to tell the truth?" Mo Yanqing has a somewhat aggressive posture.
"Mother, I have never had much contact with Sister Lu, it is nothing more than a greeting to meet and say hello. It's Sister Lu, who has always been close to her. Maybe Sister Jilu also saw her yesterday. Gan Peilin gently relaxed his lips at Mo Yanqing, as if he didn't care at all.
But the doubts in her heart made her a little uneasy, Mrs. Lu came over like this, could it be that there was something wrong with Lu Xuanye?
"It alarmed the old lady, it's really a concubine who is not sensible as a junior." As soon as Mrs. Lu entered the door, she bowed to Mrs. Gan and apologized.
"What did Mrs. Tingwei say, it's rare for you to come and sit down." Mrs. Gan said to the bamboo: "Go make tea." ”
"Don't bother." Mrs. Lu walked up to Gan Peilin's side and said solemnly: "I have a few words I want to ask Miss Peilin." After asking, I have to rush back to the house. ”
"Why are you so anxious?" Mo Yanqing walked over and warmly helped Mrs. Lu to sit down. "Madame, just ask."
"I went to the palace yesterday as a guest, and after I came back, something was wrong with Xuan Ye." Mrs. Lu didn't describe what was wrong, and said directly: "She slept deeply all afternoon, which is strange to say, and she kept chanting Miss Peilin's name in her mouth." But he couldn't wake up. I thought she might be tired, so I let her sleep. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, she cried and vomited, and the whole house was not at peace. Before dawn, her father sent for the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said that he was shocked......"
Mrs. Lu looked at Gan Peilin a little unnaturally, and her tone was slightly slower: "Dare to ask Miss Peilin, what happened in the palace yesterday." She keeps calling you by name, presumably because of you. Oh...... We don't mean anything else. You also know that the Shengqing Mansion is a royal residence after all, and it is always difficult to go there without permission. So I can only ask the girl first. ”
"Peilin, what the hell is going on?" Mrs. Gan also felt that this matter was related to Gan Peilin, and she was inevitably uneasy.
"There were a lot of people in the palace yesterday, and I talked to Sister Yin and Sister Lu. But there's really nothing special going on. Gan Peilin warmed his eyes and said: "Sister Yin must be good." Sister Lu didn't feel comfortable eating something badly? ”
"This ......" Mrs. Lu wanted to say, how could there be a problem with the things in the palace. But I was embarrassed to say it. "Miss Peilin, my Xuanye
Timid, you may think it's not a problem, but she may not be able to stand it, or you think about it carefully. We can also prescribe the right medicine and cure her illness as soon as possible. ”
"I really can't remember anything." Gan Peilin smiled at her gently, his eyes were clear.
"Sister forgot, right?" Gan Jilu rushed over at this time, with worry on her face: "At lunch yesterday, weren't you and Sister Yin invited over by His Royal Highness?" At that time, I seemed to hear that Sister Lu was missing, so I asked you to look for it...... Did it happen at that time? ”
Speaking of this, she saluted a few people inside, and then walked up to Mrs. Lu enthusiastically: "Sister, Mrs. Lu is so worried about her daughter, why don't you think about it carefully?" ”
Mrs. Yu Xiang wants to be widowed and updated as soon as possible
