Chapter 192: A girl ring with a hairpin in her sleeve
"Is there any event after the feast?" The man asked with a deep look in his eyes.
"There's no activity, it was originally a plum blossom viewing party, and most of the ladies will leave!" The fat man thought for a moment.
"Don't let this affect me!" Leng Xun's voice was a little murderous, although it was low, it made the dark center startle.
"Don't worry!" The fat man hurriedly said, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, if this lord really wants to do it today, it will be troublesome.
"You're doing it yourself!" The man snorted coldly, stood up and strode out.
The banquet of the Xingguo Mansion was quite successful, except for a small episode, Qin Yuru's incident happened, but after all, Qin Yuru is not the daughter of a family in the capital, although everyone thinks that her previous affairs are very disgraceful, and they think that this young lady's character may not be very good.
But this matter is not a big wave for the banquet of the Xingguo Mansion as a whole, there must be no real accident, and there is no man to see, everything is just guessed out of thin air.
As for the reputation of this Miss Qin, everyone knows it, at least their own house will not marry such a woman, but seeing Qin Yuru walking beside Mrs. Yong-Comber, the lady with good things is inquiring about the relationship between the two families, so there is another saying that Yong-Comber Mansion wants to marry Qin Mansion.
It is this Miss Qin who is married.
For a time, many ladies looked at Mrs. Yong-Comber with a little pity in their eyes, and they could not hide their anger when they saw only Mrs. Yong-Comber's face.
But everyone didn't say anything to their faces, and Mrs. Yong-Comber couldn't find a chance to explain anything, even if she wanted to.
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this kind of thing spread out as soon as it came out of the gate of the Xingguo Mansion, and immediately made many people curious about the Qin Mansion.
Then a well-informed person dug out the previous rumors, saying that the Mrs. Di who married from the Yong-Comber Mansion is not in charge of the housekeeping of the family now, and the reason is that this Mrs. Di is said to be a bad person, likes to make trouble, and wants to let the flat wife of the Qin Mansion, Mrs. Shui, slip the fetus, such a vicious behavior, of course, can no longer be in charge of the housework.
Originally, what the Di family did was only circulated in the market, and it did not really enter the big family, but this would be mixed with Qin Yuru's matter, and the more he said it, the more ugly it became.
When Di Shi heard the news from Yong-Comber Mansion, he almost fainted!
Although these things are all rumors and there is no empirical evidence, because Qin Yuru has seen a lot of people in this matter, he has also said that he has become colorful, and there are even some fragrant jokes that have come out, which are extremely ugly for a while!
Although the affairs of the inner courtyard of the Qin Mansion were not good, Qin Huaiyong's appointment was smooth at this time.
From the official position of the third product, the deputy capital of the Praetorian Guard Battalion! Re-award the title of General Yuan Ningyuan!
But this General Ning Yuan is not the previous General Ning Yuan!
This is a high-ranking official that Qin Huaiyong couldn't have imagined, he was just a positive fifth grade before!
As soon as this news came, the whole mansion was happy, and the mark of the Qin Mansion in front of the mansion was also removed, and it was replaced with the mark of General Ning Yuan's Mansion again.
In this capital, which is a family of high-ranking officials, Congsanpin is not a big official, but he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the Janissary Battalion and several other battalions are in charge of the security of the capital.
As soon as this news came out, those who originally had something to do with the Qin Mansion became enthusiastic, and they all came to congratulate each other.
The old lady also looked refreshed, but she went to a sick place, and it seemed to be almost the same as when she was not sick in the past.
She asked people to find Qin Huaiyong, feeling that so many people came to the door, and it was troublesome to thank them one by one, thinking that holding a wedding banquet was considered a full courtesy.
Qin Huaiyong had no doubt about this, and asked the old lady and Shui Ruolan to handle it.
Shui Ruolan is also a little pregnant now, but fortunately, it is only a little, not obvious, with the old lady on the side, she can also be a director.
This is the first time she has hosted a banquet in Beijing, naturally she can't be sloppy, she wants to hold this banquet wholeheartedly, Qin Wanru sees that she is really tired sometimes, so she helps to help.
With the guidance of the old lady and Qin Wanru's helper, Shui Ruolan took over the internal affairs of General Ning Yuan's mansion steadily.
There are also two aunts in charge below, and the entire Ning Yuan General's Mansion is slowly getting in order.
After about half a month of busyness, Yujie suddenly grabbed a girl ring and came in that day.
"Miss, this girl sneakily went out and was caught by the slave!" Yujie said as soon as she entered the door.
Qin Wanru put down the account book in his hand, looked at a girl ring below, looked at the age and timid appearance of this girl ring, and knew that it was just a most ordinary girl ring, blinked his eyes, and looked at Yu Jie puzzled, this kind of thing actually doesn't have to be reported to himself.
"How?" Rubbing his eyebrows, which were a little painful, Qin Wanru asked.
"This girl ring is in our yard, and in the past, I followed Qingxue all the time, but this time I sneaked outside!" Yu Jie said angrily.
Qin Wanru's gaze swept over the little girl, and her eyes turned slightly cold.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Hearing Yujie say this, she really looks a little familiar, and she is actually a person from her own yard.
There are a lot of maids and mothers-in-law in the yard, and Qin Wanru doesn't pay much attention to them on weekdays!
"Second Miss, slave maid...... Is there really something wrong with the slave...... It's Xiu'er's sister who is sick and wants to see Aunt Dong, so she went to see Aunt Dong! Yahuan knelt down with a "plop" and said in a panic.
"Dong Xiu'er is sick?" Qin Wanru looked at Yujie with slightly squinted eyes, she has been busy with a lot of things recently, and she hasn't paid much attention to Dong Xiu'er's affairs, Aunt Dong is also busy with things in the shop outside, and only occasionally asks a message to come in, so I haven't seen Aunt Dong for a long time.
"It's sick, but it's not very serious, Mama Yu helped her call a doctor to see it before, and she just said that she would be fine after taking a few patches of medicine!" Yujie replied.
"It's just such a thing, and you want to find Aunt Dong?" Qin Wanru's eyes sank a little, Dong Xiu'er is not a child, she doesn't know how to do this kind of thing at this time!
"Yes...... It's Xiu'er's mother's meaning, she hasn't seen Aunt Dong for a long time, and she is sick, so she especially wants to see Aunt Dong. Xiao Yahuan hurriedly said.
Qin Wanru's face sank: "Since it is Dong Xiu'er who wants to see Aunt Dong, come and tell me, why did you let you go out secretly, Yujie to see what she had?" ”
Xiao Yahuan's face changed in fright, and she reached out and subconsciously covered her cuffs.
Yujie came over, tore off her hand and pulled out a hairpin that she was tightly covering in her sleeve with a handkerchief, a very beautiful hairpin, that was the one that Qin Wanru saw on Dong Xiuer's head that day, that kind of hairpin was not worn by Dong Xiuer at this time, and it should not be on Dong Xiuer's body.
"Actually stealing something, Miss, look, this hairpin!" Yu Jie handed the hairpin to Qin Wanru, and said sharply, "If you dare to steal things from the mansion, you will be driven out of the mansion after being scolded by the cane." ”
"Second Miss, Second Miss, this is not stolen by the slave, it was entrusted to Aunt Dong by Sister Xiu'er, not stolen by the slave." As soon as Xiao Yahuan heard that she was going to be scolded by the cane and drove out of the house, her face turned white with fright for a while, her hands shook wildly, and her anxious tears came down.
"This hairpin belongs to Dong Xiu'er?" Qin Wanru's gaze fell on the hairpin and asked lightly.
"Yes...... It's Sister Xiu'er's, Sister Xiu'er just asked the slave maid to put it in Aunt Dong's place, and she didn't feel at ease when she put it here! The little girl said repeatedly, "Sister Xiu'er said that this kind of thing is not good, and I am afraid that the second lady will see outside, so I let the slave and maid secretly go out and hand it over to Aunt Dong!" ”
"Xiu'er said where is Aunt Dong?" Qin Wanru asked slowly, hiding a trace of coldness in his eyes, is it just a matter of a hairpin?
Originally, this hairpin came inexplicably, most likely from Qingxue, but now I feel that this matter is probably not so simple, it is not safe to put it by my side, and it has to be sent to Aunt Dong, how many things has Dong Xiuer lost to give birth to this feeling of insecurity?
Since she moved in, Mama Yu has managed the yard in an orderly manner, and she has never heard of anyone losing her things, how can she get to Dong Xiu'er but she is worried about sending the hairpin to Aunt Dong outside the house.
"Aunt Dong is tidying up the shop, Sister Xiu'er told the slave maid, and the slave knows where to find Aunt Dong." The little girl said repeatedly, for fear that Qin Wanru would not believe her if she spoke slowly.
"Why is there a word on this?" Qin Wanru raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yahuan's body, the font was very hidden, very small and it was still a flower type, if you were not careful, it would only look like the shape of a flower.
"Slave...... Slaves don't know how to read! Xiao Yahuan said with a blank face.
"This is what Dong Xiu'er handed you over?" Qin Wanru's face sank, a little girl who didn't know anything?
"Yes...... It was given to the slave by Sister Xiu'er. The little girl nodded repeatedly.
"Does anyone testify?" Qin Wanru narrowed his eyes.
"No, the only people in the house at that time were the slave maid and Sister Xiu'er." The little girl was panicked, anxious and scared, and wiped away her tears.
"If no one testifies, then it is not clear to say this, you can go and receive the punishment yourself!" Qin Wanru leaned back and said in a low voice.
Yujie came over in response to the call and was about to pull Yahuan, Yahuan saw that Yujie really wanted to pull her out, and she panicked, "Second Miss, Second Miss, Sister Xiu'er can testify 1"
"What if she doesn't admit it?" Qin Wanru smiled slightly, her smile was a little cold, "Whoever is out of luck in this kind of thing, do you think Xiu'er will recognize this matter, the hairpin on it is printed with the word Qin, and I didn't reward Xiu'er with any hairpin, where did she get this hairpin?" ”
The little girl who said this was stunned for a moment, her face was pale without a trace of blood, if she really thought about it along this line of thought, it means that this hairpin came from the wrong way, since it came from the wrong way, and now that the matter is big, of course Dong Xiuer will not admit it.
This is to make her guilty!
Xiao Yahuan was remorseful and afraid, while trying to resist Yujie's pull, while trying to defend desperately, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she said loudly: "Second Miss, Second Miss, there is another person who was also there at the time, and the slave saw it!" ”
