After Cui'er came out of Liu's room in fear, she began to lose her mind. She pulled the bracelet off her wrist and took a closer look. Although Liu didn't say anything just now, that look really frightened her.

Today, I just took out the bracelet and tried it, but another big girl suddenly had a stomach, so she came to her to send medicine to Liu. The first-class girl she newly proposed naturally wanted to show her face in front of the Liu family more and do some personal service, so she readily agreed. I didn't want to go too fast, but I forgot to take off the bracelet on my wrist.

Originally, she didn't care too much, and the big girls around the Liu family who went to work abroad did not take on these gold and silver on weekdays. Liu generally never asked.

Thinking of this, she turned around and went to find her mother. Cui'er's mother-in-law, Guan Pozi, is in charge of guarding the door in Fangzhi Courtyard, and she has just changed shifts with someone and is now resting in her room.

Cui'er touched Guan Pozi's residence, and saw that Guan Pozi was lying on the kang on all fours, snoring and grinding her teeth, sleeping so uncomfortable, so she stepped forward to push Guan Pozi awake. Guan Pozi had a good dream, and when she woke up after being pushed, she was a little scolding. finally opened his eyes and saw that it was his daughter, and couldn't help scolding: "You know that your mother has to guard the door at night and hasn't slept all night, why do you still choose to come when I sleep!" ”

"When is it, you still have the heart to sleep!" Cui'er frowned, glared at her mother, handed the bracelet in her hand to her and said, "What did the one say when he gave you this that day?" ”

"What do you say?" Guan Pozi glanced at the bracelet and yawned.

"Did she say that this bracelet was made by the old lady to buy jewelry for the aunts in each room during the Chinese New Year the year before last, and she had never worn it in the style she had drawn herself?"

Guan Pozi saw that her daughter was anxious. Then he cheered up, thought about it carefully and nodded: "That's what I said, I also remember that there is such a thing in the house, and I haven't seen this bracelet on Aunt Cui's hand since, she rarely wears these things." ”

Cui'er was relieved when she heard this, but she still had some doubts in her heart. That being the case, it is impossible for the lady to have seen this bracelet, how could she ......

"But what's wrong?" Guan Pozi was completely sleepy at this time.

Cui'er shook her head: "I don't know either. It's just that Madame's face after seeing the bracelet in my hand just now made me a little worried, so I came to ask. I thought she had seen it from Aunt Cui, and it scared me to death. ”

Guan Pozi heard this: "How is it possible! Aunt Cui has always been plain in her dress. I've never seen any eye-catching jewelry on her, and everyone in this house knows about it. I see that you are a thief of heart. ”

Although Cui'er always felt that something was wrong, she couldn't say it, so she nodded: "I hope so." Don't go there in the future, because it would be bad if someone found out. Now I work as a maid in the lady's room. In addition to the monthly routine, there are also a lot of rewards on weekdays, which are enough for us to spend. There is really no need to take risks for the sake of His reward. ”

Guan Pozi thought about it, so she nodded: "Don't worry about this, I told that person when I went back last time, and I will return to the bridge and return to the road in the future." It's irrelevant. ”

Cui'er relieved herself a little, got up and said, "Then you can rest." I went back to the courtyard, lest my wife would call someone to serve and find no one. ”

Guan Pozi yawned again, waved her hand at Cui'er, and lay down again before she could get out of the room.

"Don't forget to close the door."

***

Before noon, the old ladies and ladies from each room in Sun's Songling Courtyard all said goodbye and left. Most of them are in charge of the family, and they also have things to do in their respective homes. Seeing that everyone was gone, Sun sent a mother-in-law to the front yard to find Wang Bai.

Seeing that Wang Bai was dressed as if he was going out, Sun frowned and said, "There was an accident at home, where are you going to take care of things when you are not at home?" ”

Wang Bai smiled flatteringly: "Prince Li and Prince Li have arrived in our Jinan Mansion. I've heard that I may come to our Qingcheng in a few days. The county government sent someone to ask me to discuss the reception. ”

Sun said disapplausively: "Is there no one in the county office!" Just come to our house to find someone for a little thing. What do you care about their gossip? ”

"If it's something else, I won't pay attention to it, but Prince Li's visit to Qingcheng is not a trivial matter. When the time comes, with the influence of our Wang family in Qingcheng County, it is natural that we will show our faces. Besides, Prince Li has been honored in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor for so many years. It's a good thing to be able to make friends, and you can't slack off. ”

When Sun heard this, it was difficult to say anything. She just whined casually.

Wang Bai saw that Sun's attitude softened, and hurriedly said, "What is my mother looking for me for?" ”

Sun told him what happened in the room today, and finally said: "Your fourth aunt said that she wants you to find someone from the official mansion to go to the ancestral hall to verify and see if there is anything strange about the fire." ”

Wang Bai touched his chin when he heard this, and said: "Today, I have been busy with how to move things out of the ancestral hall and discuss how to fix them, so I didn't think of this level all of a sudden. Speaking of which, what the fourth aunt said also has some truth. If our family only cares about the tablet and does not save the things given by the emperor, it is indeed unreasonable, and there is nothing to promote. ”

Although the Sun family also felt that this was reasonable, but in the end, he was a little distracted from the Lian family, and when he heard this, he glared at Wang Bai and said, "You always wait for others to bring it up before you think of it, what did you start doing?" Your father is out of tune, he doesn't have the ability to take care of these things, your third brother has just come back and has something to do, why are you, an idle person who likes to take care of outside affairs every day, so don't care about your own family affairs? ”

Wang Bai touched his nose and complained in his heart, he didn't know which sentence he had stepped on Sun's thunder. Anyway, this mother has been a little cloudy and moody since he was sensible. Although he knew that the Sun family was also good to his son in his heart, he always felt that he couldn't get close. He thinks that his unobtrusive father is better to get along with.

"I'll leave this matter to you, if you can't give an explanation at that time......"

Wang Bai hurriedly interrupted Sun and said, "Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely find out about this matter." ”

When Sun saw that he was full of words, he didn't say anything.

Wang Bai suddenly thought, "By the way, how could the third brother's lady appear in the ancestral hall at that time?" ”

Sun frowned and said, "When San'er went out last night, Liu saw the wind and chased him to give him a cloak. didn't want San'er to go in a hurry, so Liu unconsciously chased out the corner door. Later, she didn't catch up with San'er, but just when she saw that the smoke on the side of the ancestral hall was thicker than elsewhere, and there was still a hidden fire, so she went over to take a look. ”

Both the west and east courtyards each have a corner gate that allows men to access the outer courtyard. This door in the east courtyard was opened after Wang Dong came back, and the Liu family went out through the corner gate last night, and it happened that the ancestral hall was not far from there.

Wang Bai nodded and said, "That son went out first, just to find someone in the yamen." ”

"By the way, hasn't Dong'er come back yet? He went out so late last night, where did he go? Although he knew that he had just come back, there would definitely be a lot of entertainment in the officialdom that could not be pushed away, but last night was the Midyear Festival, how could he still go out? There was such a big thing at home and you didn't see him come back? Sun stopped Wang Baidao, who was about to go out.

Wang Bai paused when he heard this, and said a little hesitantly: "Third brother, he went to Licheng last night. I'm sending someone to look for him, and I should be back soon. ”

Sun Shihu said suspiciously: "What is he doing in Licheng?" ”

Wang Bai scratched his head: "It may be something in the officialdom, I don't know very well." When the third brother comes back, you can just ask him...... That one...... When the time has come for the son to make an appointment, the son will go first. ”

Sun wanted to ask again, but where was Wang Bai's shadow in front of him.

Sun couldn't help but feel a little depressed, his son grew up, and he didn't take her seriously.

Wang Bai walked out of Sun's main room and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Hey, he's a third brother, but he's really a love saint!

Women...... According to his father's words, he turned off the lights, went to bed, closed his eyes, and who was not on it! However, Dad's words are not quite right, he touched the Jin family as if he couldn't get up for a long time, touching the Kui sister of the Chunfeng Pavilion, even if it was just a small hand, that taste...... Almost instantly, he felt like the blood in his body was going somewhere in his body.

So the little girls in the courtyard of Songling Courtyard watched the eldest master come out of Sun's room, drooling at the sun in the courtyard for a while, and then walked out of the courtyard with strange faces and some strange steps. I couldn't help but look at each other.

In the afternoon, Sun had slept for an extra hour because he had barely slept all night last night. As soon as I got up, I heard Mama Chang who was waiting on the side say, the eldest lady has arrived for some time and is waiting outside.

Only then did Sun remember that she had been busy with the ancestral hall since yesterday, but she forgot about Liuniang falling into the water. Last night, she asked Fangcao to ask what happened, and when Fangcao came to report to her, she was interrupted only halfway through. Thinking of this, she frowned, everything has really gone wrong in the house recently, is it because she is too old? Or is that man haunted all the time?

"Let her in." Sun asked Mama Chang to serve and get dressed, and instructed as she went to the dresser.

After a while, Kim walked in from outside with red eyes, and knelt in front of Sun with a "poof".

"Mother, you have to call the shots for our six mothers! Otherwise, we won't be able to live! It's better to go and throw the river together! ”()
