Chapter 119: Calculations in the Shadows

Closed her eyes and soaked in the slightly hot bath water, but Sanniang's heart was cold and biting.

She knew that there was a thing called protective color, and she had seen a white mantis that could disguise itself as an orchid on TV, and it had a nice name called Orchid Mantis, and when it was not moving, it was like a plain white or pink orchid, which was very beautiful.

But when Sanniang saw the process of preying on a moth and then looked at the orchid mantis, she had a creepy feeling.

Sometimes it's not the thing that makes people sick.

She had just thought carefully about what had happened after leaving the Hefeng Courtyard, if the fish on the forbidden step had fallen on the road or Fang Zhi Courtyard, it would have been just a small accident. But what if it was artificially torn apart?

What is the purpose? Thinking of what happened in Wang Dong's study just now, that person's purpose was already self-evident. Someone wants to make her bear the charge of breaking into Wang Dong's forbidden land alone.

The only people who have the opportunity to get close to her and have the motivation to do so are Erniang and Wuniang.

When they finally left the attic, Er Niang and Wu Niang were looking for a chance to stay there alone, and if they wanted to do something, it was an opportunity.

If it is Erniang, she is not surprised, there is more than ten years of struggle between the Zhao family and the Liu family, and it may be difficult for them to really coexist peacefully in the future. But if the person who did this was Wu Niang, Sanniang remembered Wu Niang's big clear and crystal eyes and her innocent appearance when she called her third sister, and Sanniang couldn't help but smile bitterly. She has always been conceited that she can see people's hearts clearly, but does she still have a time to look away?

Sanniang slowly buried her head in the water, felt the bubbles rise in the water one by one, and then disappeared into the water. This was followed by a suffocating sensation of tightness in the chest.

I don't know how long it took, Sanniang jerked her head up from the bathtub, fresh air entered her chest, and it felt so good to be a new life! Sanniang thought. If she could accept such a thing as resurrection, there was nothing she couldn't accept.

This night, Sanniang slept peacefully. She decided to recharge her batteries and wait until the next day when the soldiers would come to cover the water.

Wang Dong came back late in the evening. Because he drank some wine, he only went back to Fangzhi Courtyard to rest. There was no chance to go to the study. Early the next morning, he was pulled out by Wang Bai to meet guests.

Sanniang woke up and got up, still going to Sun's yard to greet Sun. It's still the sisters who have arrived, and she's the last to come. It's still everyone who is happy to talk to Sun. Today, Wu Niang and Liu Niang are here, and with the addition of a second Niang, it looks a little more lively.

"Sixth sister's hands are better?" Sanniang asked with a smile.

Liu Niang nodded wistfully. It's not as lively as it used to be. Sanniang told her a few more words and returned to her seat. The coats for the Midyear Festival had already been written yesterday, so there was no need to write them today, and the big Eight Immortals table in the middle of the room had been removed.

"Fifth sister? Fifth sister? Next to him, Yuan Niang stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Wu Niang's eyes.

Wu Niang came back to her senses and squeezed out a smile towards Yuan Niang: "Big sister." What did you say? ”

Yuan Niang shook her head helplessly: "What's wrong with you today?" I just told you that I have found the five-colored silk thread that you and I am going to help you find that day, but I just forgot to bring it, and I will ask you to send a little maid to go back with me to get it later. You're just staring at your shoes and not talking. Wu Niang looked suspiciously at Wu Niang's pair of pink embroidered shoes embroidered with butterflies.

Wu Niang immediately nodded and smiled: "Then thank you big sister." I've been looking for that kind of thread for a long time. I originally wanted to make a colorful bat and give it to the third sister as a return gift. ”

Sanniang looked at Wuniang when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Fifth Sister." ”

Wu Niang shook her head, but lowered her head. Sanniang saw that her eyes were blue and black, and her spirit was not very good.

"Didn't the fifth sister sleep well last night?" Sanniang asked softly.

Erniang, who was talking to Sun, also looked over when she heard this, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with the fifth sister?" But still not feeling well? ”

Wu Niang waved her hand. Busy said: "It was the mosquito net that somehow got into the mosquito net last night, and I couldn't sleep because of the noise." Later, when I lit the lamp and came to look for it, it disappeared again, and I tossed it all night. ”

Sanniang nodded, and said slowly: "The fifth sister should look for it before she rests in the future, otherwise she will accidentally mix in the things that have been sucking blood." Although it won't hurt to be asked to take a bite, it will be uncomfortable for a while. ”

Wu Niang nodded absentmindedly. Sanniang smiled and stopped talking.

"Grandmother, on the way back this time, a lady from Beijing gave me a box of silk flowers made of the womb and a box of fashionable bead flowers, it is rare that the sisters are here today, I will let people bring them, pick a few for each of the sisters, grandmother, you also have a palm for them." Erniang talked to Sun again.

Sun said: "It's hard for you to have this heart. It's just that I'm a little tired today, so you can take them to your yard to pick them up. There are few people living in the main courtyard of Fangzhi Yuan these years, it is too cold, take your sisters to sit down, it is good to add some popularity. ”

Erniang was pleasantly surprised: "What Grandmother said is that yesterday my mother was too quiet in the yard, but in the middle of the night, the cicadas on the tree were even more annoying." I'm going to take the sisters there, and my mother must be happy. "After the Liu family came to greet the Sun family, he was called away because of something in the courtyard.

The Sun family spoke, and Sanniang and the others naturally had no objections. What's more, girls can't resist things like jewelry, clothes, etc. Therefore, they all got up with Erniang to say goodbye to Sun.

Even Liuniang, who has always been shy, is also a little more energetic.

Sun waved his hand, and the sisters left the courtyard and went to Fangzhi Courtyard.

When she arrived at Fangzhi Courtyard, Erniang ordered the maids and daughters in the courtyard to prepare snacks and tea, and sent the maids around her to the room to take out the box of silk flowers and a box of beads. behaves like a little master's posture, and the maids and ladies do not hesitate to carry out her orders for a moment, presumably she is also used to giving orders on weekdays.

"It's so hot today." Liuniang pouted and complained.

"There is a grape trellis outside this yard, and although the grapes are sour and astringent, it is very cool under the shelf. Sometimes I can see a lot of butterflies, and I want people to put a swing there. Wu Niang suddenly said loudly.

"Fifth sister, did you secretly pick food? It's so greedy! Liu Niang pouted.

Wu Niang rolled her eyes and ignored her.

"I haven't been back for a long time, but I forgot that there is such a good place at home, thanks to the reminder of the fifth sister." Seeing that everyone was interested, Erniang smiled and said, "Why don't I let people put the tea and fruit there, and we will pick silk flowers while drinking tea?" ”

Everyone had no objection, so Erniang ordered someone to prepare the things and send them to the shade under the grape trellis outside the main courtyard.

The place Wu Niang said is a place behind the main courtyard, separated from the main courtyard by a wall, and there is a corner gate not far away that can communicate with the main courtyard. The corner door had been locked until Wang Dong and the Liu family returned, but it was opened after the master returned yesterday.

"It's a great place to go." Erniang smiled and said to Wuniang: "I can also find it for you." ”

The trellis is quite large, and it is the season when the greenery is thick, and there are many purple or green grapes hanging down from the vines, which look like they are full of grapes, which makes people unconsciously talk about it.

"It looks very sweet." Liuniang looked up at the grape road above her head suspiciously.

Wu Niang's eyes rolled when she heard this, and she glanced at Liu Niang, but she didn't speak.

Siniang saw it but said: "I think it must be the fifth sister who is greedy, afraid that she will have nothing to satisfy her hunger after we pick her grapes, so she deliberately coaxed us that these grapes are inedible." ”

Wu Niang glanced up at the grapes on the shelf, but pouted and bowed her head silently.

"Look, it's guessed by the fourth sister." Liuniang seemed to have grabbed Wuniang's tail, and said proudly: "I want to eat this grape today, not only to eat, but also to pick it back." ”

Liuniang looked at Wuniang proudly, but said to Erniang: "Second sister, I asked you for some grapes, you won't be stingy, right?" Some people really think this yard is hers. ”

Erniang shook her head helplessly and smiled: "You guys are really, aren't they just a few grapes?" What is it like to fight! It's a child's temper. There are so many on this shelf, and even if you eat it, it will take a long time to eat it. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned a little maid to the side and ordered: "You go and ask someone to take a ladder to go up and pick some down, pick up those ripe and cut a few baskets down, and let these greedy kittens relieve their hunger." ”

The girl took the order, and in a short time she brought some mothers-in-law, with wooden ladders, scissors, baskets, and the like.

Liuniang glanced at the dejected Wuniang, and stood under the grape trellis even more proudly commanding the mothers-in-law: "If you want the big bunch, go to the left and some...... That's the string...... And that string over there...... All cut out......"

Sanniang and the others sat on the small table brought by the maids on the side, eating refreshments, picking silk flowers and bead flowers.

The box of silk flowers and beads that Erniang took out is really a delicate boutique.

"You pick four silk flowers, and two pearl flowers. Any one is fine. Erniang said with a smile.

"The second sister is generous." Siniang took a flower that was very luxurious because it was pasted with gold and silver powder and held pearls, and she couldn't put it down, and picked up a string of lilac phalaenopsis.

Erniang smiled slightly, and said to Yuan Niang and Sanniang: "The eldest sister and the third sister also pick together." ”

At this time, a little girl came to report to Erniang and said, "Miss, the master is back and is coming to the main courtyard." ”

Erniang paused, nodded and said, "I know, don't forget to prepare hot tea for the master, the master likes clouds." ”()
