Chapter 81: Poisonous Oath
Before Sanniang could answer, Bai Ying said: "If you have something to say, why avoid people?" Our Miss and Miss Wei have nothing to say to others. ”
The girl glanced at Bai Ying, but smiled softly: "The third young lady and our young lady really don't have anything to say to others, but the youngest daughter's family inevitably has some whispers." Speaking of this, the girl glanced at Sanniang and said meaningfully: "For example, is it better to embroider flowers or characters on this veil, or only embroider a name?" ”
Sanniang's heart moved when she heard this, and she glanced at the mothers-in-law and girls waiting in the hall and ordered, "You guys go to the door and guard first." ”
When those mothers-in-law and girls retreated, Sanniang smiled faintly at the girl: "Some of the things in my daughter's family are really bad to say in front of too many people, but now the girl can say it." ”
The girl first saluted Sanniang Yingying: "Slave Tinglan, I have seen the third young lady." Please don't blame the third lady for the offense. ”
Sanniang looked at her although she was saluting, but she was not half humble between her actions, and her elegant temperament was not comparable to many rich ladies, and she couldn't help but be even more curious about her origin.
"The slave maid came to see the third lady on the order of Gongzi Xuan." Tinglan glanced at Sanniang as she spoke, but she didn't speak.
Sanniang frowned when she heard this, and then said after a moment of silence: "Did Xuanshao Xuangongzi call you here?" ”
Ting Lan was stunned: "How did the third lady guess?" "She just misled her by saying something about the veil.
She is not familiar with Xuanyun, and if Xuanyun calls someone to come, it is not her who wants to meet. Even if he saw her, with Xuanyun's temperament, he would not be so careful to ask this maid to borrow the name of the Wei family, and the Xuangongzi who would do this was the only one Xuan Shao in Ziyang City.
Even so, I thought so. On the face, Sanniang only smiled faintly and did not answer.
The girl didn't mind when she saw that Sanniang didn't answer. He only took out a pink handkerchief from his cuff and handed it over.
"This is what Xuan Gongzi wants me to give to you."
Bai Ying took the veil and turned around and presented it to Sanniang.
Sanniang spread out the handkerchief, and sure enough, she saw the word Yue'e embroidered on the lower right corner of the handkerchief with ginger silk thread. Quietly put away the veil, Sanniang smiled and said to Tinglan: "After the girl goes back, please help me thank your master." ”
Ting Lan smiled and said, "The slave maid is actually the one who is responsible for managing the medicinal herbs by Imperial Physician Jiang's side, and I came here today to be asked by Master Xuan. Xuan Gongzi also asked the slave maid to tell the third lady that no one else knew about this handkerchief. ”
Sanniang thought that it was no wonder that although this girl was named a maid, she was a little rude, and it turned out to be by Imperial Doctor Jiang's side. The imperial doctor has always been sought after, and naturally no one dares to offend the girl who manages the medicine around him.
As for why Xuan Shao took care of this matter, Sanniang remembered that the place where she was talking to Yingge today was next to the hall where Xuan Shao and Imperial Doctor Jiang had tea. Xuan Shao is a person who practices martial arts, and his ears are naturally sensitive. You might be able to listen to all of their conversations. Or maybe it was just an accident. Because he was only familiar with her in Zhao's mansion, he was sent to her.
"Now that the things have been brought, the slave and maid should also go back." Tinglan smiled.
"Today, the fortunate girl has been on a run. I wonder if the girl was alone when she came? If it is too late today, Sanniang will send a few people to send the girl back. ”
Ting Lan smiled and refused: "The slave maid brought someone here, the third lady doesn't have to worry." ”
Sanniang was not reluctant, and recruited her mother-in-law to send Tinglan out of the house.
"Three Misses"
As soon as Sanniang came out of the hall, a figure ran over obliquely, and Sanniang took a look. But it's a warbler song.
"What's going on?" Sanniang stopped her steps and asked with a frown.
"Third Miss. Mrs. knew about the handkerchief, and she took the old man to the aunt's yard to ask for the guilt. ”
"How did my aunt find out?" Sanniang wondered.
"It was a mother-in-law who went back with me yesterday to look for a veil that got drunk and told a mother-in-law who lived with her about it. Today, after the lord returned to the yard, the mother-in-law who was guarding outside all withdrew, and this mother-in-law was close to the eldest lady on weekdays, so she told the lady about it. Mrs. felt that something was wrong, so she asked a few little girls who followed that day for questioning, and the little girl who was waiting for Miss Cousin to change her clothes was afraid, so she revealed a little tone. Speaking of which, this is all caused by the incompetence of the slave and maid. Yingge said that she finally blamed herself.
"It's none of your business, you've done a great job."
Sanniang thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”
Yingge led the way in front and took Sanniang to Zhao Xiuniang and Shen Yue's courtyard.
This courtyard is the most spacious in Zhao's mansion except for the courtyard of the Liu family and Zhao Shouye, and there is a small garden planted with some flowers and plants in the courtyard, and a shallow stream paved with pebbles is dug in the garden.
"This courtyard was lived by the eldest aunt and the second aunt." Yingge saw Sanniang looking casually while walking, so she opened her mouth to introduce.
Sanniang nodded, and Yingge led her to the main room.
Before he even entered the door, he heard Li's voice.
"Master, you all say that I am prejudiced against this girl, but look at this, am I biased? It's obviously her own misbehavior! Not only did he seduce us mortals in the house, but he even wanted to seduce the prince when he went out of the house. Master, I originally thought that this Yue'e was grown up by us, and my mother insisted on keeping her with the Zhao family, and I also thought that in the future, Fan'er would accept her and let her have a good home. But you see, can I rest assured that she will stay by Fan'er's side with her character? ”
"What are you talking about! What's included? What is a good destination to be a concubine? If you dare to say this in front of your mother, see if I don't ......," Zhao Shouye said angrily.
"Master, even if you want to divorce me today, I won't let her in. Don't say it's a mortal's wife, even if it's a concubine! Li cried and scrambled to speak.
"Even if my mother protects her on weekdays, can't she still ignore this kind of thing that makes the family faceless, and want to let her in the door? My granddaughter is the top of my heart, but is my child grass? If my mother still insists, I will make trouble in the clan to see if the clan can tolerate this kind of woman to enter our Zhao family. ”
"Sister-in-law, if this matter is troubled in the clan, we Yue'e will only have a dead end, sister-in-law, I beg you, you see that Yue'e spared her life for the sake of you since you were a child, I will kneel down for you." Zhao Xiu'e, who had been crying on the side, heard the words and said anxiously.
"Mother, what are you doing here? Get up. You don't have to beg her, it's my ......."
"Sanniang asks my uncle, aunt, and second aunt to say goodbye." Sanniang walked into the house quickly and interrupted Shen Yue'e's words.
"Ake, you came just in time, and you also came to give your aunt a reason." When Li saw Sanniang, he said casually.
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about in front of your children! Zhao Shouye shouted.
Sanniang walked to Zhao Xiuniang's side and helped her up, pretending to be puzzled: "Sanniang was going to leave the house, but she heard some noise here, so she came over to take a look, Aunt Xiu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ask your cousin! Ake, you must not imitate her, and the close-fitting handkerchief can also be given to others at will. Li Shi withstood the pressure of Zhao Shouye and said stiffly.
"Cousin's veil?" Sanniang tilted her head, and with some confusion, she took out the pink brocade from her cuffs and spread it in front of everyone.
"Is this the piece?"
"Huh?" The people in the room were stunned, and Shen Yue'e and Yingge looked at the handkerchief in Sanniang's hand in shock.
"On that day I saw that my cousin's handkerchief was beautifully embroidered, so I asked her to take a look. Who knew that my cousin was extremely precious to this handkerchief, and refused to give it to me, I was naughty for a while, so I secretly hid her handkerchief to make her anxious! Sanniang said cautiously: "I don't want to cause such a big trouble, but what's so special about this veil?" ”
"This must not be the piece of veil we are talking about." After Li Shi reacted, he said, "When did you get it from your cousin?" ”
"On the day I went to Dapu Temple to go to the incense, on the way to the side hall to rest, I asked the maid to take it secretly." Sanniang said a little embarrassed.
Li was a little suspicious when he heard this, so he immediately turned his head and asked a mother-in-law: "You go up and see, is it that handkerchief?" ”
The woman stepped forward with her head down and trembling, and she didn't dare to look at people, she only glanced at the handkerchief in Sanniang's hand, and then nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, it's this handkerchief." ”
"You see clearly! If not, just say it, no one will dare to embarrass you! Li was not reconciled.
When the woman heard this, she leaned forward again, stared at the handkerchief carefully, and finally nodded affirmatively.
"It's really this piece, the slave maid saw Miss Biao in her hand before, and when she went back to look for it, she heard Miss Yingge describe it in detail, and she will never be mistaken."
"This ......" Li Shi was speechless, and finally he was really unwilling, and said: "But the girl next to Yue'e said that she didn't follow Yue'e all the time, and she vaguely heard Yue'e talking to Shizi. ”
"Auntie, you don't have to say it. You are doing these things today just because you can't get used to me, and you are afraid that I will enter the door of the Zhao family, so you want to use this trumped-up charge to destroy my innocence and let me go to death out of shame. ”
Shen Yue'e smiled miserably and turned to Zhao Shouye and said, "Uncle, Yue'e, thank you for your constant maintenance. It's just that Yue'e is self-aware, Yue'e's identity can't enter the door of the Zhao family, and her aunt doesn't like Yue'e, even if her uncle and grandmother pity Yue'e to stay, it must be a restless house. ”
Yue'e took a deep breath, stretched out three fingers of her right hand and pointed to the sky, and said slowly: "Yue'e hereby swears that she will never marry into the Zhao family in this life." If this oath is violated, let Yue'e thunder thunder five times in the sky, and there will be no place to bury her. ”
Turning his head to look at Li, he said, "Uncle, Yue'e's temperament directly dislikes you, Yue'e knows." It's just that my grandmother can't be stimulated now, and I ask you to temporarily let our mother and daughter bother in the house, and when my grandmother's condition improves and she doesn't need my mother to serve by her side, we will naturally go back to the Shen family. ”
Everyone was stunned by Shen Yue's poisonous oath on the spot, and there was a god in the three feet above her head, this kind of oath was easily impossible to make.
Zhao Xiuniang was the first to come back to her senses, and jumped up and hugged Shen Yue'e and cried heartbreakingly: "Yue'e, it was your mother's uselessness that made you suffer this grievance, why did you make this poisonous oath?" The Zhao family can't tolerate our mother and son, let's just go. (To be continued.)
