Chapter 23
The little girl buried her head in the quilt and said in a muffled voice: "Fifth brother, we can say that you are not allowed to regret it in the future." ”
He frowned and did not speak.
Mingshu stuck her head out of the quilt again, and said with a smile: "I've been here for so long, when are we going back?" ”
Gu Huali's hand paused slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Do you want to go back?" ”
Mingshu was stunned, and she didn't know if she wanted to go back.
The feeling that the Gu family gave her was dark and depressing, full of calculations. Although the Li family lived uncomfortably, they were quite comfortable when they didn't calculate before.
Now that someone has counted her in, she subconsciously wants to escape.
Mingshu nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
Gu Huali was silent for a moment, and guessed that it was because of today's calculations.
Ling Ling seems innocent and soft, but his heart is firm and transparent. She understood, and she wasn't aggressive, so she wanted to leave.
"There are still some days, so you can stay in peace for now."
Although he didn't investigate this matter, looking at Li Jiabai's recent anxious appearance, he also knew that he was afraid that he had hit a nail.
Ming Shuqing Lingling's apricot eyes were covered with a layer of melancholy.
"Okay then." The little girl's voice is soft and glutinous, her little face is snow-white, and she is very delicate and cute.
It's bright and bright, like moonlight.
……
When Gu Huali left the Red Xuan, it was already past the time for lunch.
The little guy came over attentively, "Does Lang Jun want to eat?" It's being warmed in the kitchen. ”
Gu Huali's expression was indifferent, and he shook his head, "I'm not busy." He raised his hand and took off his coat, walked straight to the bookcase, and with half an inkstone residue, he spread out the bamboo paper and finished writing, and then said, "You go out for a run and give it to my cousin." ”
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this cousin was Lang Jun's own sister. immediately agreed, and went to pick the red xuan with his hands and feet.
Mingshu opened the bamboo paper and couldn't help but smile slightly.
She raised her hand and beckoned to the maid, "Go and polish the ink for me!" He jumped out of the bed, pulled his shoes and jumped in front of the bookcase.
The maid had no choice but to grind Mingshu quickly, while curious.
But I saw that Mingshu wrote a post to Xing's family, which mentioned tung oil or something. She was about to look down when Mingshu's voice sounded softly, "Why are you like a goose," she paused, "Your neck is so long." "It's going to be stuffed into her paper.
The maid's face turned hot and she apologized.
Mingshu didn't bother to pay attention to her, and wrote the post in three or two.
She is frank and open, and she doesn't shy away from anything, but she can't get used to the maid's unruly and disrespectful attitude. After writing it, she handed it to the maid and told her to send it to Xing's.
Sealed his mouth, and he was not afraid that a little girl would have the courage to open it.
After the maid sent away, Mingshu calmed down and took a nap, and when she woke up, it was going to be dark outside.
said that Xing was very worried about Li Shuangyan's matter, for fear that his mother-in-law would blame him. hurriedly sent someone to investigate, but only found out that it was Li Shuangyan's own eldest maid who went to get tung oil.
Yan Yan harmed himself?
No, Ling Ling was also with Yan Yan at that time.
My sister-in-law took tung oil to harm others, but she fell into the water? It's ridiculous.
Xing couldn't make up his mind what to do for a while, so he couldn't just tell the truth. She could only hurriedly go to Zhao's yard, she had to talk to her mother-in-law about this matter, and it was best to let her mother-in-law make up her own mind.
When she arrived at Zhao's courtyard, the little maid who took care of Ling Ling in the Red Xuan also arrived, walked straight towards her, and gave her a letter that was still sealed.
Xing originally planned to wait and see it later, but the little maid looked at her with blank eyes and said timidly: "The cousin said that she must let the young grandmother read it in front of her and then go to the eldest lady." ”
She was already in a hurry, and she was even more irritable at this time. But the little maid was dumbfounded, Xing had no choice but to frown and open the letter randomly, and the more she looked back, the more her eyebrows and eyes stretched.
It wasn't until I read it that I breathed a sigh of relief.
The original anxious look was gone, and he said in a gentle tone: "You've been waiting here for me to come over?" ”
The little maid nodded and said, "My cousin told me to wait for the young grandmother here." ”
Xing smiled slightly, called his mother-in-law to reward the little maid, and said: "My cousin girl fell into the water, I was originally going to see it, but I can't be busy right now, I'll go over to see her later." ”
The little maid nodded, and then left by herself.
Xing stood under the corridor for a while, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and then put the envelope into his sleeve and walked inside.
Zhao was reconciling accounts, flipping through the account books with one hand and planning the plate with the other, and driving a gold-framed glass mirror with a gold chain on the bridge of his nose. Xing Shi walked in, and she was too busy to look up and say hello.
Xing was still a little apprehensive, and lowered his hand to tell him what was going on in the garden.
When Zhao heard that Li Shuangyan had a fever in the water, he finally put down the golden abacus in his hand.
"You said, Yan Yan's color sleeves went to get tung oil?"
Xing Shi was a little nervous, and said: "This ......" The steward only said that only Cai Sleeve took the tung oil, and no one else took it, so she didn't pay attention to this.
The housekeeper who was standing behind walked out respectfully and said, "It's half a liter, I asked the little maid to get it for the girl with colorful sleeves." ”
Zhao snorted coldly and said, "Tung oil is viscous, how big can half a liter of tung oil coat a piece of land?" "The entire ground of the Autumn Wave Pavilion is tung oil, and half a liter is definitely not enough.
Xing could only intuitively feel that someone must have planned and harmed Yan Yan. At this time, he was broken by the Zhao family, and when he remembered the post sent by Mingshu, he had a complete bottom in his heart.
She stepped forward and said softly: "My daughter-in-law also thinks that Yan Yan must have been done by someone when he fell into the water," paused, looked at Zhao's eyes and said, "If this undried tung oil is contaminated on people, it will definitely cause a rash." When the daughter-in-law went out of the garden, she detained the people present, and it was really simple to check at this time. ”
Zhao looked at Xing in surprise and smiled.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Zhao took off the glass mirror and wiped the corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief, "Don't reveal the news first, just say that Yan Yan was careless." ”
No matter who did this, they couldn't make a statement, lest they ruin the reputation of the Li family.
In particular, this matter must be inseparable from Yan Yan.
Zhao rubbed her temples and sighed in her heart, she and her mother-in-law were afraid that Yan Yan had been spoiled too much, and such a thing happened.
Xing's naturally wished for this, and the silent meaning was that Zhao would deal with it personally, and she wouldn't have to get into trouble.
Immediately respectfully agreed, and personally went to deal with the matter.
Xing thought as he walked, most of this was done by the concubine of the second room, that is, the fourth lady. But if it's really her, I don't know if the two rooms will make trouble at that time.
