Chapter 285: Appearance
At noon, the dishes were almost finished.
Jiang's Mansion has reserved some side rooms for these ladies to take a break. said that in the afternoon, the back garden also invited the troupe to come.
Jiang Yu has always been by Gan Peilin's side, almost never leaving, which makes Gan Peilin really unable to find a suitable reason to act alone. What's more, Yanzi is also Jiang Yu's person, so she can't let Yanzi go to find out about Xue Baoyun.
Obviously, the truth is in front of you and you can reach it with your hand, but the degree of difficulty makes Gan Peilin feel as if he has crossed a high mountain.
How can I get close to Xue Baoyun smoothly, or even stay with her to find evidence?
"What do you think?" Jiang Yu handed her the teacup, and she was stunned for a long time.
Taking the teacup, Gan Peilin took a sip gently: "It's nothing, I remember that when I was young, my mother often took me to such banquets." At that time, I liked to play with the young ladies of each family. ”
"If you like, you can also invite the ladies of each family to come to the mansion for a happy gathering." Although Jiang Yu doesn't like to be lively, he doesn't like outsiders coming in and out of his house. But as long as she likes it, there's nothing she can't do. "Leave these things to Yanzi to do."
"No need." Gan Peilin shook his head lightly: "I only like this kind of scene, but I don't like to be between guests." ”
Jiang Yu patted the back of her hand gently: "It's okay, you can do whatever you want, in short, I will accompany you." ”
Gan Peilin just smiled lightly and didn't say much.
After a while, the sound of gongs and drums came from the back garden, and the stage began to sing.
It's also unfortunate that there happened to be something in the palace, so Lu Yao came to inform Jiang Yu.
"I'll send you back to the house first and then enter the palace." Jiang Yu was naturally still worried. Although this Jiang Mansion is where he grew up, it is precisely because of his familiarity that he is disgusted with this mansion. I always feel that if I don't see it at a glance, Gan Peilin will be in danger.
"No, I don't. I also want to accompany my mother to the theater. Besides, there was no help in the first place, and before the guests left, my new daughter-in-law left, which is always not good. Gan Peilin said as he tidied up the jade crown and belt for Jiang Yu. You go and get busy with yours, wait until you finish listening to the play, this side is gone, and I will go back to the house to prepare dinner for you. ”
Her thoughtfulness and desire to warm the sun surrounded Jiang Yu. "Okay, stay safe yourself."
While speaking, Jiang Yu glanced at Yanzi with sharp eyes.
The swallow then hung her head solemnly, indicating that she knew how to protect her wife.
That is, Jiang Yu walked on the front foot, and Xue Baoyun came over.
"Peilin, I heard the housekeeper say that Yu'er has entered the palace, is there something in the court?"
"Yes, Mother." Gan Peilin nodded gently.
"Well, in the affairs of the court, where is the hour? If you catch up, you have to deal with it. Xue Baoyun smiled and came over to hold Gan Peilin's hand: "He's going to busy him, can you accompany your mother to the back garden to listen to the play?" ”
"Okay." Although Gan Peilin is not used to such warm contact with her, this is something she longs for, and she must face it head-on.
"That's right." Xue Baoyun asked as she walked: "You were detained in the palace that day, what happened?" Later, I asked Yu'er, but he wouldn't say anything. There was a lot of trouble in the imperial city that day. ”
Gan Peilin tensed his heartstrings and shook his head gently: "I only remember that I entered the palace with my husband to thank the emperor and queen." Later, after going to Changning Palace, Yun Concubine Niangniang was a little bad, so she went to Yun Concubine Palace again. And then ......"
A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and Gan Peilin frowned: "I seem to be out of the palace too, and the street is very chaotic......"
"Ma'am." Yanzi hurriedly interrupted Gan Peilin: "The slave remembered it, your medicine has been tormented." When the maid arrived, it was still too hot. I drink it now just enough to be able to eat. ”
As she spoke, she quickly glanced at the crispy core.
The crispy core moved quickly, and brought the medicine pot from the handmaiden's hand.
"No need to pour it out, just drink it." Gan Peilin took the small medicine pot and slowly drank the indescribable bitterness along the spout.
Xue Baoyun didn't want to continue to ask.
When you arrive in the back garden, there are many guests listening to the play, so it is even more inconvenient to talk about these things.
But taking advantage of this effort, Yanzi approached Xue Baoyun's side, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Old lady, please forgive me, don't blame the slave for being rude." The slave and maid only convey the master's original words. Whoever mentions the events of the day before his wife will have his tongue cut out. ”
Xue Baoyun's body trembled, and the smile on her face was deliberate: "I'm just asking in passing." There is such a strange disease in this world. When you wake up, you don't remember those things......"
Yanzi raised her eyebrows slightly, and her tone was a little cold: "Old lady, Madame doesn't remember the events of that day, isn't it a good thing for you!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xue Baoyun was a little unhappy.
"Madame is young, but she is never weak. If she remembers what you have done to her, and she wants to get it back, then the slave will naturally obey the order to assist Madame. As for the master's side, does the old lady think he will take into account the feelings of the lady? ”
"You ......"
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Gan Peilin drank the medicine and ate two candied fruits. Crispy core served to rinse his mouth, tidy up his makeup, and then come back over. "Did the swallows make you angry?"
After all, beside Xue Baoyun, only Yanzi stood with a serious expression.
"There is no lady, how dare the slave make the old lady angry." Yanzi showed a smile and said softly, "The slave is just telling the old lady about your condition. In fact, the divine doctor said that you are almost fine, so the slave maid does not want the old lady to worry. ”
"Yes." Gan Peilin walked over with a smile and held Xue Baoyun's hand: "Mother really doesn't have to worry about Peilin. I feel much better. In the past few days, my appetite has improved, and I have the strength to walk. I believe that it will not matter if you recuperate for a few more days. ”
"That's good." Xue Baoyun regained her usual gentle complexion. "By the way, why didn't you see Li'er? Is she still used to it in the new mansion? ”
This embarrassed Gan Peilin, Jiang Yu did not allow them to enter her main courtyard casually. So there's nothing special, they're not going to meet at all.
"The old lady doesn't know, our lady has always been kind-hearted, so naturally she will not treat the aunts in the house badly." The swallow skillfully relieved Gan Peilin's troubles. "Even for the season's clothes, everyone has prepared seven or eight sets. Each aunt's daily food is also fresh and rich. Madame specially explained that she was not allowed to be harsh, and naturally no one in the new mansion dared to slack off. ”
These words blocked Xue Baoyun's mouth tightly. She didn't ask these questions at all, she wanted to ask how Ao Li and Gan Peilin got along. Or maybe Jiang Yu is still so cold to Ao Li.
"Bang-"
With a bang, with the startling of everyone, a man in a costume fell off the stage.
The nearby ladies were frightened and shouted, and they really didn't care about their manners.
"Okay, what's going on." Xue Baoyun hurriedly called Edher to see.
Painted hurried over, first to settle the frightened guests, and then to have the man who had fallen off the stage carried away.
The people singing on the stage were also confused, obviously they were all rehearsed movements, how could they fall down during a fight.
"Ladies, please don't be surprised, it's not a big deal if someone misses." Xue Baoyun said with a smile: "It's just a change of festive play." ”
Taking advantage of this effort, Gan Peilin said to Yanzi: "You let people go and say, I have soiled my clothes and have to change." ”
"Okay." Yanzi sent a handmaid and went over to Xue Baoyun to say, and then helped Gan Peilin to go out. "Madame wants to go and see, who is the person who fell off the stage?"
"yes." Gan Peilin nodded: "When you come to Jiang Mansion to sing, you will never invite an opera troupe that is not in the stream." How could there be such a miss, it's so strange. ”
Xue Baoyun saw Gan Peilin leaving and wanted to follow.
was pulled by the ladies present. I want her to sit down and watch it together.
"Ether, go see if there's anything you need a hand on the new lady." Xue Baoyun was not at ease and admonished.
"Yes." Painted Se naturally understood, and then hurried to catch up with Gan Peilin.
Here, blood flowed from the corners of the mouths of the people who fell off the stage, and it seemed that this fall was not light.
The heavy oil paint was applied to the man's face, and it was impossible to see his original face at all.
"Is this a man or a woman?" Crispy Core looked at it suspiciously for a long time, but he didn't see what it was.
"It's a woman." The swallow had sharp eyes and took the man's hand: "Look. ”
There was a large red mark on her palm, which was obviously just rubbed.
This should be the trace left by her dancing with the red tassel gun used in singing. So the opponent provoked her red tassel gun, which was strong enough to make her fall off the stage. Yanzi was even more strange: "She doesn't know these kung fu at all, how can she sing on stage." ”
Edher was about to come in when a little servant rushed over and whispered something in her ear.
"This man is an impostor."
"What?" Swallow glanced back at Edher: "Pretending to be someone from the theater troupe?" ”
"Yes." Edher nodded: "The little guy just came to report that the person who originally sang was tied up and hidden in the props box of the troupe. When Fang was looking for it in the near autumn, he slapped the box with his hand before he was discovered. ”
"And who the hell is this woman?" Swallow couldn't help but be curious. "Go get hot water and remove the makeup off her face."
The rough maids didn't dare to delay, and hurried to do it.
Gan Peilin sat down on the chair next to him with a crisp hand. This Jiang Mansion is like a huge labyrinth, too many secrets are too attractive. Now even if you listen to a play, you can hear the accident.
The servants quickly removed her makeup, and the heavy oil paint was not very easy to remove. After tossing for a long time, he finally revealed a face that was not very real.
"Miss, look, this is not ......" Crispy Core said as he walked over, for fear that he had read it wrong.
Gan Peilin got up and walked over, stared at it carefully, and knew that the crispy core was not wrong.
"This is the concubine of Mofu, the cousin Mo Chuxue who was raised in Ganfu. Why did she start singing? "The swallow also recognized the woman." Go and talk to the old lady, Edher. ”
"Yes." Edher was also surprised, how could the people of Ganfu get into the troupe?
