Chapter 281: Bells
Qingyu came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and saw Brother Xu Ying sitting motionless in the shadow of the lamp, so she couldn't help but be a little worried in her heart, and gently walked up to Brother Xu Ying's side and reminded in a low voice: "Grandma, it's not early, it's time to rest after drinking this bowl of bird's nest porridge." ”
Brother Xu Ying touched his cheek with his hand and said with a wry smile: "Put it there first, prepare hot water for me to make the bed." ”
Qingyu didn't dare to ask more, and said thoughtfully: "Grandma, there is no threshold that cannot be passed, and I want to open everything." Seeing that Brother Xu Ying just nodded and didn't say much, he had to bow his head and retreat, restrained everyone from making a sound, silently prepared hot water and made the bed.
Brother Xu Ying read Xu Zhi's letter back and forth carefully, put it on the lamp and lit it, and watched the letter burn into ashes in the copper basin, so he ate the bird's nest porridge brought by Qingyu, wrote a letter, and called Qingyu to come in: "Give this letter to the twins by hand, and let him send it to Uncle Hou immediately." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "If it cannot be delivered, this letter will be ruined, and it must not fall into the hands of others." You told him that his life was at stake, and he wouldn't let me do it again. ”
Paper can't always contain fire, since the Feng family has sent people to Zhuangzi in the countryside to inquire about her life experience, and has indirectly contacted the Mao family, it means that her identity has been doubted. Combined with the performance of the Feng family's mother and daughter today, and thinking about the group of poisonous snakes hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity, Brother Xu Ying is almost certain that even if the Feng family's mother and daughter are not talking about the true life experience of their Xiao family's daughter in private today, sooner or later they will know the truth. Once this truth is exposed, it will be a big storm for the Xu family, and it will not work if you don't make a plan.
Although Qingyu had what happened, she had never seen Brother Xu Ying like this since she followed Brother Xu Ying, and she only felt that it weighed a thousand pounds when she held the letter, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma? ”
Brother Xu Ying shook his head and continued: "Again, let someone go to find the third master and ask." If you can do it, please come back for the third master. Then he got up and went into the clean room to take a bath.
Qingyu didn't dare to delay, and immediately called Zi Haze as a companion, and the two picked up the lantern and took the sign to find the twins and sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Yizheng. I watched the twins ride out with their own eyes before they dared to return to the garden.
Brother Xu Ying had already finished bathing, sat in front of the couch with his hair scattered, and inspected the important jewelry boxes and drawings one by one, and asked Lu Fei and the bell to clean up separately. In case it really comes to that point. Or is it only gold and silver that are the most reliable?
Seeing this situation, Qingyu felt as if she had pressed a large stone in her heart, because she saw Zi Hao coming forward to help clean up, so she went to report to Brother Xu Ying: "Grandma's words have arrived, at this time the twins have gone to the Hou Mansion, and the servants have seen him ride Grandma's horse with their own eyes, and the third master has also sent someone there." Grandma should lie down and rest first, how to clean up these things is just for the servants to do. ”
Brother Xu Ying saw that she was panicked, so he comforted: "Don't worry, I just suddenly want to see how many things I have." Although I know a lot. It's not that I don't believe you, but I just want to see it. He went into the room and lay down, and commanded, "I'll squint for a while, and let me know as soon as there is news." As he spoke, he yawned a few times and closed his eyes, looking extremely tired.
Qingyu has followed Brother Xu Ying since she was a child. Knowing that the more important she was, the more she could sleep, she couldn't help but sigh, covered the quilt for Brother Xu Ying, blew out the lights, and went outside to see Zi Hao and the others packing up their things and waiting for news. The bell has long coveted the jewelry given by Brother Xu Ying. I only hate that Brother Xu Ying can't see more if he doesn't wear it on weekdays, so he can't take this opportunity to beg Zi Hao: "Sister asked me to clean up this box." ”
are also close people around Brother Xu Ying, although they perform their own duties. But they also know what kind of temperament they are. The bell was young and lively, but he was a pleasant and diligent character, and Zi Hao fulfilled her plea, and only solemnly ordered: "If you want to see it, but if you want some, take the velvet cloth and lay it out on the table first, and then take it, and don't leave the table." The petals of the jeweled hairpin are ground with precious stones, and they are so thin that the gold threads are fine, and if you are careful to break them, it will not be enough to pay you if you cut off your hands. ”
Bell salivated and thanked him, and did as he was told. Whether it was the things that Brother Xu Ying got from the first time he met before, or the pink crystal peach blossom hairpin that Empress Zhu rewarded later, she wiped it carefully, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, as if it was hers. Because there were no outsiders around, and Brother Xu Ying was also silent, Lu Fei couldn't help but whisper sarcastically: "Looking at her like this, it seems to be looking at a lover." ”
Qingyu and Zi Hao were a little nervous, and they couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, the bell was crazy alone, and when they saw that the atmosphere was looser, they deliberately played with the treasure, and said: "Sister's words are reasonable, a few of us are just you, and I think my sister knows best how to feel when she looks at her brother-in-law." ”
Several people are usually serious in front of people, and the relationship behind them is very good, and Lu Fei is not angry, so he said: "Little hooves with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, I'm just joking, you squeeze me like this." I'm not going to do that. ”
Bell held up the pair of jewel peony hairpins with silk inlay technology given by Empress Zhu from the bottom of the box with bright eyes, and smiled intoxicated against his cheeks: "Yes, of course, when my sister looks at my brother-in-law, it is not what I looked like before, when I look at this pair of ingenious treasures." ”
Zi Haze and Qingyu laughed to death, pointed their fingers at the bell and whispered: "You bad girl, the dog can't spit out ivory in her mouth, and Sister Lu Fei won't tear her mouth soon?" told her to talk nonsense no matter how big or small, so that people could hear that even we had to be rejected. ”
Lu Fei rolled up her sleeves with a red face, and pretended to step forward to clean up the bell, and the bell held the pair of peony hairpins high and twisted her ass and whispered: "Oh, I'm so scared." If my sister is not afraid that I will drop this hairpin, she can just come. ”
"Bad embryo!" Lu Fei scolded, and when his hand pinched the bell's face, he saw that the curtain was lifted, and Zhang Yi was holding a smell of midnight dew and walked in with a horsewhip, and said with a straight face: "What are you doing?" ”
Counting according to the hour, it will take about half an hour from the time when someone goes to deliver the letter to Zhang Yizheng's return at the earliest, no one expected that he would come back suddenly at this time, several girls were startled, I don't know how many words he listened. The bell was the most presumptuous before, and at this time it was also the most scared, so he hurriedly put down the jewel hairpin held high in his hand, and trembled his hands and feet to put it back in order to salute Zhang Yizheng, but saw Zhang Yizheng staring at her with a gloomy face and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Look for death!" When is this young and open-mouthed? I'm not afraid to let people hear it and smear your grandmother's face! It's better to get it clean before it's too late! ”
He used to have convulsions and a short temper. After the head stopped convulsing, he was cold and indifferent to everyone, everyone was already very afraid of him, and they walked around him when they had nothing to do, but they occasionally laughed once and arrested him. This is the period of national mourning, this kind of thing is going to go out, and it is really a dead end, the bell is ashamed, scared and panicked, and his hands are shaking. A hairpin happened to hook the cuffs, and knocked lightly on the edge of the box, she became more and more panicked, and took her hand to catch the hairpin, but made a mistake in the hurry, and threw the hairpin to the ground. There was a crisp sound, and everyone watched as the hairpin fell on the table, and then fell straight to the ground top-heavy, a gorgeous flower. The peony flower that can be waved in the wind changes shape in an instant.
The bell knelt down in despair, and lay down in front of Zhang Yizheng's feet without saying a word, just waiting for death. Qingyu and the others all knelt down with pale faces, and no one dared to beg for mercy.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of bead curtains clashing, and Brother Xu Ying stood in front of the door of the inner room with a nightgown in his sleepy eyes and said, "The third master is back?" "Seeing the situation in front of me, and then look at the deformed peony hairpin. Thinking of the few low laughs I vaguely heard in my daze before, I understood a little in my heart, so I said, "You go down first." ”
Qingyu hurriedly asked Zi Wei to help a few bells whose hands and feet were weak and didn't dare to cry if they wanted to, leaving him and his wife to speak. Zhang Yi was throwing the horsewhip in his hand on the low table at will. "What are you going to do here?" In the middle of the night, the three watches didn't care if the girl was messing around. Someone went and called me back, and I fell asleep? ”
Brother Xu Ying walked to the table and poured him a cup of tea, and said in a low voice, "I asked them to clean up their things." I was so tired that I fell asleep without holding it up. Without waiting for Zhang Yizheng to say anything else, he said again: "Why did the third master come back so quickly?" But you're about to leave after receiving an errand? ”
Zhang Yizheng shook his head: "No, I'm not going." suddenly changed his mind and let the third uncle go. I was sending my third uncle out of the city, and I met the man you sent to look for me on the way, so I hurried to him. It's not that I said, these girls deserve to be beaten for a long memory. Although there was no one in the middle of the night, and their voices were not loud, they had to be guarded against being watched. ”
"Got it." Flower season girl, no one has seen how Empress Zhu is, it is normal to occasionally indulge a little when no one is around, but Zhang Yizheng reminded him very much. Brother Xu Ying heard that he didn't need to personally inspect King He, but he thought it was good news: "The third uncle is always serious, and he has never been separated from the second uncle. Before the ......saint finished his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Yizheng with a smile: "Knowing that you are reluctant to let me go, you don't need to praise the saint's wisdom and martial arts." ”
Brother Xu Ying smiled, picked up the peony hairpin that was smashed and deformed with some melancholy and said: "My eyelids are jumping so much, I always feel that something terrible is going to happen, so I wish you were by my side." Does the third master know what happened in the mansion before? Mrs. Feng was invited by our four brothers and sisters so urgently, but after saying a few words, she left in a hurry regardless of it, and never even said goodbye to us. I don't know how Feng Bao'er fainted and died in the palace? Can the cause of the death of the old craftsman sent in by my family know? And who gave the poison to the queen's mother? ”
Zhang Yizheng rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said, "Niangniang's incident, so many people died, but nothing was ever found. The old craftsman surnamed Chi was drowned, and the murderer was an old craftsman with no children and no daughters in the same room with him, and Dao was jealous of his good craftsmanship...... As for Feng Bao'er's incident yesterday, someone saw An Liu go to the palace where she was resting. I think the death of the palace maid always had some reason for the two of them. Don't worry, my father has already sent someone to find Feng Zhang. ”
Brother Xu Ying's heart was a little confused, and he only lowered his head and played with the peony hairpin repeatedly.
