Section 008 Lost jade pendant

As soon as Luo's mother entered the house, she heard the orange red voice choking slightly, and asked Yu Pei with a crying voice.

Xue Dongyu has a piece of Xiuyan jade pendant, it is the lake water green Xiuyan jade carved into the Liuyun Baifu map in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Qingyun Temple has been enlightened by the Taoist monk himself, whether it is the material or the meaning, it is extraordinary.

When Han was pregnant with Dongyu, he had a dream, saying that this child had a catastrophe and needed a piece of long-lived hundred-year-old jade to suppress it and ensure her safety for the rest of her life.

Han said to the old lady, and the old lady personally asked someone to spend a thousand taels of gold to make this jade pendant, and Dongyu took it with her when she was born. Originally, it was hung around her neck, but later she was too heavy to carry it, so the old lady asked someone to wear tassels for her and hang them on the waist of her coat.

It's a life-saving thing!

If it is lost, the big and small maids and servants inside and outside this house will not survive!

Mother Luo panicked slightly, and when she saw that the docile orange was in a mess, she cheered up and said, "Don't worry, think about it carefully, where did you leave it?" Miss Nine, can you also help think about it......"

Grandmother cares about this jade pendant very much, and once she went to ask An to forget to wear it, she scolded Tangerine Xiang for being ignorant and not taking care of Dongyuan, and deducted Tangerine Xiang for half a month. Later, when I asked for peace, Tangerine didn't dare to go, so she only let Tangerine accompany her.

Dong Yu didn't dare not wear it.

Today, my grandmother didn't ask for a jade pendant, so when she was in her grandmother's inner room, she must have hung it on her waist.

Lost?

Dong Yu vaguely remembered that there was a kind of strength in his left elbow that could not be pulled. The person who was holding her seemed to have been prepared, and his speed was amazing.

If you lose it, it's at that moment......

Her heart rose to her throat at once.

That was her most precious thing, and if that person took it and framed her for having an affair with him, she would be speechless.

The hand shrunk at the bottom of the sleeve was clenched a little tightly, and Dongyi's flat eyes were clustered with bitter anger.

The maids began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find the jade pendant, and when Dong Ying saw this posture, he immediately shouted: "The jade pendant I stayed with my grandmother, what are you panicking about?" ”

Orange Hong was overjoyed, tears sparked her makeup, and tears held Dong Ying's hand: "Miss Jiu, you scared me to death, why did you say it?" ”

Dong Ying pinched the orange hand and gave Luo's mother a look.

Mother Luo understood that all the rough maids and mothers-in-law in the house were sent out, and only Mother Luo, Tangerine and Tangerine Xiang were sent.

Orange Hong's spirit was slightly softened again.

Dong Yu said in a deep voice: "When I entered my grandmother's house, if something was missing, my grandmother would definitely notice that Orange Red was a good scolding. Grandmother is especially careful about these wears! But when I was in my grandmother's house, she didn't say anything, which shows that she lost it when she came back...... You are not allowed to make a noise! This thing is my life, if it is picked up by someone with a heart and does witchcraft on it, will I be dead or alive? ”

Something not in the old lady's house?

Tangerine Xiang and Luo's mother nodded again and again, secretly praising in their hearts, no matter what Miss Nine does, she is so thoughtful!

Orange Hong's face was slightly pale, and her lips moved to look at Dongyu. It turns out that the jade pendant was really lost? The orange tears are like beads with broken threads, and they can't be suppressed.

"Don't cry......" Dong Ying sighed, now that he was angry and scared, he could only think of ways to make up for it, "We slipped when we came back, and the jade pendant must have been loosened at that time." I made plum shortbread last night, although it was not very delicious, Tang Xiang and Luo's mother sent some to the old lady, and looked carefully along the way. From the old lady's Rongde Pavilion to our Shicui Pavilion, you have to pass by the Third Lady's Ningxiang Pavilion, Miss Ten and Miss Eleven's Taoyun Pavilion, you ask who went out when I came back. ”

Then he glanced at Orange Hong, "You go and inquire about how long those fathers-in-law have been sitting and what they have said." I can't inquire, but I have to know what the old marquis said at that time, and I can say a word......"

The three of them bowed their knees and hurried out.

About half an hour later, Orange Red came back first.

She was worried: "I can't find out!" The old lady sent all the people in the house, and she poured the tea herself. After sitting for about a stick of incense, those fathers-in-law left, and they were still accompanied by Chief Manager Ge, and Hou Ye did not come out. After those fathers-in-law left, the Hou Ye changed his clothes and went out......"

The old lady poured tea herself?

Dong Ying's back was tight all of a sudden, leaning on the silver-red elastic ink pillow.

She thought of those eyes full of stunning luster and presumptuous amorousness, which should be a man who didn't know how to scruple and be arrogant since he was a child!

It was like a soldering iron, her heart burned so painfully, Dong Jin's fingers became tighter and tighter, and she was a little breathless.

"What should I do, Miss?" Orange was so anxious that she was about to shed tears again.

"It's fine." Dong Yu couldn't help comforting her, "Tangerine Xiang and Luo's mother haven't come back yet......"

After another half an hour, Luo's mother came back, and she looked gloomy.

The third lady did not go out, but Miss Ten and Miss Eleven went to sit down with the fifth lady. I...... I didn't dare to ask anything......" Luo's mother looked at Dongyu guiltily.

If something is lost, first of all, it can't be quiet. Mother Luo is just a servant woman, even if it is Miss Ten and Miss Eleven, she doesn't dare to search for it, let alone the Third Lady?

I can only wait for Tachibana to come back.

Tachibana didn't come back until the moment of Youzheng.

Looking at her lowered eyes, Dongyu's last hope was shattered!

Yu Pei was not found!

The little maid and the rough mother-in-law were waiting outside, and the four masters and servants of the east were sitting on the kang in the east room, silent to each other.

"Miss, tell the old lady." Mother Luo took a long time before she said, "Let the old lady help search and find out as soon as possible." The longer you drag it on, the worse it will be for you! ”

Dong Ying didn't make a sound, she tightly grasped the corner of the pillow, making herself look calm and calm, and calming the hearts of Mother Luo, Tangerine and Tangerine. If she is in chaos, the people in the house will be even more unassertive, and things will be out of control.

She just wanted to know at the moment, who was the foreign man who might have picked up her jade pendant!

It's not a eunuch, a eunuch is not so interested in meeting women; is not a guard, there are many concubines in the palace, and they dare not walk so boldly in front of the palace; Then, it is the emperor's favored minister, or the emperor's brother, or even Emperor Yuanchang himself!

Who came to visit and persuade the old marquis to return to the court, he must know what happened in the court, and make the old marquis so angry that he is sick!

Restraining the irritability in his heart, Dong Ying smiled naturally and relaxedly: "No." Now tell the old lady that several of you will definitely be detained. Tomorrow is Laba Festival, there is a reward in the family, you have an accident, but there is nothing! ”

Luo's mother and Tanghong don't speak, they are not the children of the Xue family, and they are counting on the moon to live. Especially when the New Year is approaching, you have to send something back to make the family prosperous for the New Year.

Tachibana is the son of a family, her parents and brothers are both on errands in the house, and the glory of life and death in the house is closely related to her. She was anxious: "Miss, that's your lifeline, what kind of monthly reward do you care about at this time?" ”

"What a lifeline!" Dong Ying didn't care, and smiled gently, "It's just a dream of my mother." When I was nine years old, I fell from a tree and almost lost my life. The catastrophe has been escaped, so what is the use of the jade pendant? But my grandmother believed in this, and I ......wore it every day out of filial piety."

Orange Red, Orange Fragrance and Luo's mother's hearts are all slightly settled.

"So what do we do?" Luo's mother didn't have any opinions. This matter is big or small, and she doesn't dare to call the shots.

"Zhenxian Marquis Mansion, who doesn't know that Miss Nine is the heart of the old lady? Who doesn't know that the jade pendant is Miss Nine's life-saving? Even if the little maid picks it up, she doesn't dare to take it out and sell it, and she will definitely give it to the old lady to ask for a reward. Don't worry, someone will probably deliver it tomorrow...... Just think about it, what did the old lady say......" Dong Yu's tone was relaxed with confidence and affirmation.

Tangerine, Tangerine and Luo's mother were finally infected by her, pursed their lips and smiled.

Then he came up with a lot of ideas for her.

Things in the house were finally under control, and Dong Ying lay in bed, but he didn't sleep in the middle of the night. She tossed and turned, thinking about the jade pendant.

A few years ago, I wore a red rope and hung it in my underwear, but Dong Ying always didn't want to wear it, saying that she pressed her neck; The old lady said that she had made a collar and hung it outside, and Dongyu felt like a bolted dog, and she was even more unhappy. In the end, the tassel fell and hung on the waist seal.

If she knew that she would lose it so easily, she should have listened to her grandmother and made a collar to hang on her chest.

Turned over, the self-striking bell ticked and struck, and it was the first moment!

The next day was Laba Festival, and the servants at home boiled Laba porridge last night.

Laba Festival, the family has to sacrifice.

The men go home, start to worship their ancestors, and then gather together to drink laba porridge. Not only drink it at home, but also give it to relatives and friends.

At the beginning of the year, the laba porridge in the palace will be appreciated.

Mrs. Shizi left a bowl for one person in the family, and then divided the rest into a few food boxes and sent them to several good families.

Every year.

Although Dongyu didn't sleep well all night, the dark circles under her eyes were not heavy. She woke up at the beginning of the day, and went to greet the old lady at the moment, two quarters of an hour earlier than usual.

Zhan's mother in the old lady's house saw her so early and asked if she had breakfast. Dong Yu smiled: "Come to grandmother's place to have a delicious meal." ”

Zhan's mother smiled and told the little maid to serve breakfast to Dongyu first.

The old lady used to have breakfast at this time, but she didn't get up today, Dong Yu glanced at the inner room with some concern, and Zhan's mother explained with a smile: "Master Hou came back late yesterday, and the old lady has been waiting, and Zichu went to sleep." I haven't woken up yet. I'm old, and I finally sleep peacefully, I didn't dare to call the old lady. ”

Dong Ying bowed his head and sat on the kang to drink millet porridge.

At three o'clock, the old lady got up. Seeing Xue Dongyu, the old lady found that her Xiuyan jade pendant was missing at first glance, and pulled down her face to ask her where the jade pendant had gone.

Dongyu just smiled: "Grandmother, don't worry, you haven't lost it, there's a surprise for you, don't ask now......"

The old lady was confused.

Dong Ying smiled but did not answer.

This is Miss Nine's delaying tactic? When Orange Red was waiting next to her, she heard it, and her head buzzed! Miss Nine said confidently that she had a way to deal with it, but it was such a bad idea?

Orange Red couldn't help but look at the old lady again.

The old lady actually narrowed her eyes and scolded her for being a ghost elf: "I am only surprised when I turn around, but my grandmother will punish you!" ”

That's it?

Orange Red has a kind of luck that will not die, and half of the hanging heart has fallen. The old lady really likes Miss Nine!

At the beginning of Chen, the wife of the prince Rong came over with her grandmother Hang, granddaughter Xue Fengrui, and grandson Xue Hanjia; The second lady Feng and the fifth lady Xue Dongrong also entered the door with their back feet; The third lady, Jiang, and the fourth lady, Shen, came together; The fifth lady brought Xue Donglin, Xue Huayi, Xue Dongwan, and Xue Dongshu to the end.

Mrs. Shizi laughed at Dongyu: "Our ninth lady came the earliest, isn't it gluttonous laba porridge?" ”
