Forty-nine, to suffer a loss is to take advantage

A few thoughts flashed in Ying's mind, thinking about what to do, now that she has finished reasoning, she has not made a good confession, and the two masters who are fighting are still covered in muddy water, at this time, she was caught by Lan Xiang, will it affect herself?

Manru silently turned around and walked to the backyard, picking up a needlework basket from the porch, and didn't know which girl put it. Chun was a little, and she didn't understand what she meant, but Shi'er cleverly pulled her up and trotted back to the room, and she came to her senses.

Leaving the scene as soon as possible after the crime, is this considered to avoid suspicion?

There was a knock on the courtyard door, and Lan Xiang raised her voice: "Open the door for me!" What are you doing in there?! ”

The remaining mother-in-law and Aunt Li glanced at each other, slowly opened the door, Lan Xiang crashed in, and scolded: "Where are you going?!" Why did you come to open the door at this time?! ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "I really can't help it, girl, we went to relieve ourselves just now, but we didn't hear a sound." Aunt Li also chimed in. Lan Xiang glanced suspiciously at the muddy water on their clothes, glanced around the courtyard, and saw that except for the three of them, there was no one else, but there were many little girls in the wings on both sides who were secretly watching themselves, and at the same time, they could vaguely see Manru taking a few girls to do needlework in the backyard.

She asked in a deep voice, "I just heard outside that the girls in the courtyard were fighting, but is it true?!" ”

The woman was busy: "How can there be such a thing?" It's just that the little girls have a few words, we have already taught us a lesson, girls don't listen to other people's nonsense. Aunt Li stepped forward and whispered: "There is an urgent matter to ask the girl to show me, and the person from the big kitchen came to spread the word, saying that our meal will be delivered later, and I didn't say why." What should I do? Everyone has to be on duty at night, it's cold this day, what can you do when you're hungry? Do you want to make some in the kitchenette first? There are still meat dishes left over from noon. ”

Lan Xiang stared at them coldly for a while, walked to the backyard without saying anything, walked around, only stood outside Qing'er and Chen'er's room for a while, and already guessed in her heart, seeing that Manru was still sitting there calmly teaching the little girls how to bamboo, she sneered and went to the kitchen first.

Chun Pao watched her leave at the window, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Shi'er and smiled bitterly: "I thought it would definitely be a goof!" ”

Shi'er silently got up and sat back on the edge of the bed. Biting your lip. Said: "Thing...... Someone outside has seen it. It's something that can't be hidden. If Sister Lanxiang is biased towards Chen'er, she may plant the sin on me and Sister Qing'er. I'm afraid that even Sister Manru can't escape. ”

Haru was taken aback: "How can this be?!" So many people saw it. It was Chen'er and Qing'er fighting. What does it have to do with us? Even if you have to be punished. They should be punished too! ”

Shi'er shook his head and said, "You wait and see." Most likely. I've been in this courtyard for some time. The temperament of the above sisters. I know a little bit too. Sister Lan Xiang is the strictest. But he also told her about it. It is a meritorious place. We scolded Chen'er for this. It just landed on her face. She doesn't like Sister Qing'er and Sister Manru. It will definitely be eccentric Chen'er. You help pull the rack. It should be fine. But I'm going to be revived. ”

Chun Ying was upset: "Is there still a reason for this?!" It's obvious that Chen'er framed you. You didn't scold her or hit her. Why do you still have to be scolded?! ”

"It depends on what Chen'er says. If Sister Meixiang is here. Maybe it will be better. ”

Both of them stopped talking, worrying about how to make the punishment lighter, and Chunying was wondering if she could help Shi'er.

After a while, He came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he said excitedly: "I heard that the courtyard is very lively today!" If I had known, I wouldn't have gone out! ”

Shi'er smiled bitterly, Chun hurriedly grabbed Xia He, briefly explained the matter, and asked, "What wind did you hear outside?" Do many people know? ”

Xia He was angry about Shi'er, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "I heard someone outside saying that the big and small girls in our courtyard were fighting, and some people recognized one of them as Qing'er who was secretly laughing at it!" Just now I sent something to the backyard, and I heard Sister Lan Xiang say that she wanted a personal inquiry, so that she knew who was causing trouble, no matter how decent she was on weekdays, she would never spare it! Now Qing'er and Chen'er are going to be unlucky! ”

Shi'er fell down on **: "No, I'm going to be unlucky this time!" Chunying hurriedly said: "Don't be discouraged, let's go find Sister Meixiang, she will definitely listen to your explanation!" ”

Shi'er bit her lip: "No, I'm going to listen to the tone first!" After that, he quickly got up and ran to the backyard, Chun and Xia He hurriedly followed, and when they arrived at the second door, they happened to hear Lan Xiang judging Qing'er and Chen'er.

Qing'er had changed into clean clothes and was dressed neatly, but her hair didn't have time to be combed, so she only pulled it up loosely and took a silver gilt ear to dig a hairpin. There was no fat powder on his face, and a large bruise on the left side of his face, which was lined with the pair of dark circles, adding a bit of horror.

Chen'er wore a thick cloak, revealing dirty clothes that were still stained with mud and water, her hair was messy, and there were two bright red scars on her face, which was shocking. She cried to Lanxiang with a handful of snot and tears, saying that Qing'er beat her for no reason and caused her to break her appearance.

Qing'er squinted sarcastically, and when Lan Xiang asked her why she was beating, she sneered: "You find someone to ask, who is causing trouble?" She sued herself, but she climbed others everywhere, and shouted that I was mean and black-hearted, if it was you, you would have kicked people out, and I beat and scolded her a few times, and it became a big crime? Am I not even able to teach a little girl a lesson now?! ”

Lan Xiang was speechless for a while, with Qing'er's status in Huanhuaxuan, she was indeed qualified to beat and scold Chen'er, but the other party was punished, and she was so arrogant, if she couldn't suppress the other party's bad temper, what prestige would she have in the future?

So she said, "There should be a reason for the lesson!" You've done something wrong, Chen'er just did her duty, why should you be taught a lesson?! What's more, you got into a mess with her in front of everyone, and hurt her face like this, you are not ashamed, and I blush for you! ”

"Duty? It turns out that it is duty to frame others at will?! Qing'er suddenly smiled, "Then Sister Lanxiang must be the most responsible?" Seeing that Lan Xiang's face was dark, she felt extremely happy: "You can find someone to ask!" Why did I hit her? Don't deliberately pretend you can't hear! It is her duty to complain, but she doesn't dare to admit it openly, but she bites others, first me, and then Shi'er, you go and ask, see if I am telling the truth! After that, he took a sip at Chen'er: "Don't pretend to be pitiful!" The aroma of rouge on your face can't even cover it! If it was blood, it would have dried up a long time ago, how could it be so fresh! ”

Chen'er was still sobbing, but when she heard this, she hid her face and hugged Lan Xiang's leg and cried: "My sister wants to be the master for me!" Lan Xiang's expression was distorted for a moment, and she quickly returned to her original state, and called a little girl: "Call Shi'er over!" ”

Shi'er picked up Chunying, ran back to the room quickly, closed the door, ** a few times, and said, "No, I will definitely carry this black pot today." ”

"Nonsense!" Chunying retorted, "You just tell the truth honestly, in front of so many people, I don't believe that Lanxiang can cover the sky with one hand!" Huanhuaxuan has more than half of the girls who can be our witnesses, unless Lanxiang doesn't want to be famous, how can she let Chen'er reverse black and white? ”

Ten children are bitter

Didn't you see that? The other little girls all have ugly faces, Sister Lanxiang will really stand up for Chen'er? Who would have thought that Sister Lanxiang would pursue others? Today's matter, speaking seriously, it was actually Rong'er and the others who provoked me first, and then I went to question Chen'er, so that Sister Qing'er could hear it. Although it was Chen'er's sin at first, Sister Lu'er helped Sister Qing'er speak, and she was involved again. If you go further, you will inevitably mention that Sister Qing'er has a bad name, but no one speaks for her. Isn't this the face of the third young master and Mei Xianglanxiang's sisters? Thinking about it further, something like this happened in the courtyard, Sister Mei Xiang and they were not at home, Sister Manru and Sister Rouge were the biggest, but none of them took care of it and simply hid in the house and pretended not to hear, Sister Lan Xiang would be angry if they had a seizure, and let outsiders see the joke. How many people are involved in a small matter? ”

Chun Ying thought about it according to her words, and it really spread widely, but she still didn't want to watch Shi'er suffer: "What if Sister Lanxiang punishes you?" Isn't that too wrong? ”

Shi'er smiled: "She knows it in her heart, but she can't get over it, what will she really do to me." If she wants to hit me on the board, how can she make trouble if her wife nods? If you want to get rid of me, the person in charge of the inner courtyard is where can my aunt get me? At most, she will be beaten a few times. Everyone in this courtyard knows what's going on, and they will remember me in the future. When the third young master knows, he won't treat me badly. ”

Chunying understood: "This is what the saying says - to suffer a loss is to take advantage?" ”

"There is such a saying? This is the first time I've heard of it. Shi'er listened to the outside, "The person who called me has arrived." ”

There was a sighing sound outside the door, and then I heard Dong'er hesitantly speak: "Shi'er...... Shi'er, are you there? What's that...... Sister Lanxiang is looking for you for something......"

Shi'er opened the door and saw Dong'er Rong and a few other little girls huddled by the door tremblingly, looking at her timidly. She smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I won't make you suffer." She raised her feet and left, Chunying was not at ease, so she hurriedly followed and returned to the backyard.

The situation in the backyard has changed again, almost all the girls of all sizes have arrived, even Aunt Li and the two mothers-in-law are there, and more than a dozen lanterns have been picked up under the verandah around them, illuminating the courtyard as if it were day.

Lan Xiangzhi carried out a big red lacquered gold tray from somewhere, and there was a copper ruler on the plate, faintly glowing red. Shi'er frowned slightly when he saw the footsteps, and said in a low voice: "Oh no, that thing is going to hurt to death!" "I rolled my eyes and changed my mind.

Chun was also frightened, and looked at Shi'er's back worriedly.

Shi'er stepped forward and knelt down and spoke. Lan Xiang said lightly: "Chen'er said, today you scolded her for no reason, and invited Qing'er to beat her, so you made such a scene, but the truth?" She stroked the bronze ruler gently, and there was a faint threat in her eyes.

Shi'er bowed her head and said: "Wronged, Sister Lanxiang, because Chen'er laughed at me, I was unwilling to talk to her for a while, but somehow Sister Qing'er suddenly ran out and got into a fight with Chen'er, and I was also frightened, and finally pulled them away." I don't know how Chen'er could say that, but she was wrong. ”

Lan Xiang was stunned and turned her head to look at Chen'er, who was also stunned. This statement separates the two conflicts, Shi'er is taken out, and Chen'er is less guilty of "framing". Lan Xiang pondered for a moment, and then made a decision: "In this case, I will punish you with three precepts, and you are not allowed to quarrel with others in the future!" ”

Shi'er gritted her teeth and stretched out her hands, Lan Xiang picked up the copper ruler, but hit her, and before the copper ruler fell, she heard someone shouting: "Stop!" "It turned out that the third young master Li You and his party came back.

Li You frowned and looked at the copper ruler, and said coldly: "Didn't you tell you to put it away?" What are you doing again?! Do you want others to praise you for being a good housekeeper, or do you want people to scold you for being ruthless behind your back?! He ignored it and went straight into the main house. Luer grabbed Manru, who was standing next to her, and followed.

Lan Xiang's face was red and white, white and red, Mei Xiang sighed secretly in her heart, beckoned the people present to move to the front yard, and asked carefully, only to know what was going on, so she was a little annoyed: "Qing'er and Chen'er fought, both of them made mistakes, give me a three-day grounding, don't go out of the house, and then starve for two more meals and defeat the fire!" Each person deducts half of the monthly money, and then there is a second time, and they are directly thrown out! Then he scolded Chen'er: "Don't you go back to the house to freshen up?" What do you look like?! ”

"Mei Xiang!" Lan Xiang drank angrily, but Mei Xiang turned a deaf ear: "Everyone should disperse!" Don't chew ** with outsiders, otherwise be careful with your skin! ”

Chun Ying hurriedly pulled up Shi'er, who was still a little stunned, and quickly retreated, only to catch a glimpse of Mei Xiang pulling Lan Xiang into the house, not knowing what to say. Everyone in the courtyard dispersed, leaving Qing'er standing in place in a daze, and Chen'er was also stunned opposite.

The two girls glared at each other, Qing'er took a step forward, and Chen'er was so frightened that she immediately ran back to the room and quickly locked the doors and windows.

Chunying saw Qing'er standing alone in the courtyard through the crack in the window, and suddenly felt that the other party was a little pitiful, she looked back at Shi'er: "Is this good?" It seems that the blame has been put on her. ”

Shi'er was patting his chest and said, "What's wrong?" If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. It was she who fought with others by herself, and she deserved to be punished. If it weren't for the third young master coming back, I'm afraid that my back would be broken by Sister Lanxiang at this time! ”

Chunying thought about it, although she felt a little guilty that she had misunderstood Qing'er at the beginning, she still threw this matter away.

Mei Xiang privately asked her about the ins and outs of the matter afterwards, Chunying wanted to tell the truth, but remembered Shi'er's words, and only deduced that Shi'er had a small quarrel with Chen'er, I don't know why Qing'er beat Chen'er, and hinted that the maids and mother-in-law in the courtyard were all helping to pull the fight, but the battle was fierce at that time, and occasionally it was not pulled, which would cause both parties to be injured.

Mei Xiang was angry and funny: "You girl even hid it from me?" Don't you think I know? Someone told me everything about that day, but I didn't know some details, so I had to come to you. Tell me the truth! ”

Chun Ying looked dumbfounded, but her eyes rolled, and she was worried again: everyone with brains should follow Shi'er's words, so as not to be accused of "the root of trouble" by Lanxiang, Mei Xiang is not deceiving her? She hurriedly smiled and said, "This is really the truth! Sister Mei Xiang, I didn't lie to you. ”

Mei Xiang asked again and again, both soft and hard, she didn't let go, and in the end she had no choice but to let her go.

Seeing Chun leave, Mei Xiang stood in place, gritted her teeth, and felt a little funny, returned to the main house, and saw Lan Xiang go out with a snack box, so she came to Li You and whispered everything about Fang Cai.

She was faintly confused in her heart, what was the reason why the third young master paid so much attention to Chunying?

Li You didn't say anything, only finished the notebook slowly, and then looked at it with a satisfied smile.
