Chapter 164: Dirty
Erniang's voice was not loud, and only a few people from the Sun family and Baishou heard what she said. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" Sun doesn't care much about the child's birthday gift, just to be auspicious. Seeing that Erniang was talking about Wu Niang's birthday gift at this time, she waved her hand casually: "Jin Sheng is just playing with you, since you know where it is convenient to take it and put it on." ”
Wu Niang saw that Er Niang was going to provoke this topic again, and knew that she had a back move, but she couldn't stand up and say anything, so she had a cold sweat on her head, and finally she could only hope that Aunt Cui had secretly cut off the trouble.
Gan Song saw that the old lady had spoken, so he hurriedly stood up, thought about it, walked to Erniang's side and said softly: "Second Miss, will you go with the slave?" ”
Erniang shook her head and smiled: "I only knew by chance that my cousin of the Sun family talked about this with his maid, I don't know where the birthday gift is hidden, Sister Gansong just took a few more people to find it." ”
Gan Song saw that Erniang refused to go, so he only temporarily ordered a few little maids to go.
At this time, the birthday ceremony was almost over, Sun smiled and beckoned the old ladies, and the ladies went to sit down and eat.
Sanniang's sisters also went to their own table. Because of the large number of guests, the six sisters sat separately as the main family, so that it was convenient to greet guests.
Sanniang's table and Erniang's table are next to each other, and as soon as Sanniang sat down, she pulled Erniang's sleeve: "Second sister, look, that seems to be Cui'er in your yard, right?" Are they looking for you? ”
Hearing this, Erniang turned her head to look, but only saw the maids who came and went with red lacquer tea trays and plattered cold dishes on each table. There is no trace of Cui'er at all.
Erniang said suspiciously: "Where?" Why didn't I see it? ”
"Right there...... Hey? Why did it suddenly disappear? Sanniang looked carefully at the place she had just pointed out, and finally said apologetically to Erniang: "Maybe she didn't find the second sister and you walked away, or maybe I didn't see it badly." ”
Erniang remembered that the Liu family had suspected that there was a relationship between Hefengyuan and Cui'er, so she looked at Sanniang a few times without a trace. Sanniang had already turned her head to talk to Chen Simin who was sitting beside her, and she didn't look anything different. Erniang frowned and glanced in the direction that Sanniang just pointed out, and found that it was the direction of the ear room.
Sun's 50th birthday banquet was naturally a huge pomp, and there were 12 cold dishes just for the opening table. It's just that Erniang and Wuniang don't have any heart to eat. Not long after the food was served, Gansong returned with the maids.
Gan Song walked up to Sun's side and bowed down to whisper a few words in her ear. Sun frowned, nodded and told her to retreat. After that, there was no other reaction.
Erniang was a little disappointed when she saw it, but Wuniang was relieved. He picked up his chopsticks and took a piece from a plate of roses in front of him and put it in his mouth. Chew it carefully. Don't forget to wink and smile at Erniang.
Erniang's face sank.
The cold cuts were taken down. Hot dishes are served one after another. Sun's table was lively, and the elderly people at the table were sitting at a table, persuading each other to drink. Sun's old birthday star was naturally poured several cups, because the people sitting at the same table were all of the same seniority and status, so Sun couldn't refuse.
At this time, Mama Chang, who had just gone down to supervise the maids to serve the food, hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words in Sun's ear, and Sun's hand holding the wine glass was paused. Then he slowly put it down. Her face was a little cold, but her face was a little red from the smell of wine, so it looked a little weird. The old ladies at the table noticed Sun's strangeness. They glanced at each other and looked at each other suspiciously.
Sun picked up his glass again. With a smile on his face, he persuaded everyone to drink and drink. When the atmosphere became warm again, Sun turned his head and whispered a few words to Mama Chang, and Mama Chang hurriedly retreated.
Erniang, Sanniang, and Wuniang have been paying attention to the movement of the Sun family openly or secretly, seeing this scene, Erniang and Wuniang are a little nervous, but Sanniang looked at it but took a sip of a cup of sweet glutinous rice wine, and the entrance was sweet.
Wine over three rounds of food over five flavors.
Some people who lived not far away got up to say goodbye to the Sun family, and wanted to go back earlier. Sun asked Kim to treat her and send her out one by one. At the end of the feast, half of the female dependents did not leave, some because they had husbands or sons drinking in the front yard, and some simply stayed and waited for the later program because they lived close or too far away. The Kim family has already arranged for people to set up the card table, and let the ladies who are not in a hurry to leave after eating play leaf cards. This activity is very popular among the ladies.
Someone invited Sun to play cards together, but Sun said that he wanted to go back to the room to change his clothes, and pushed another old lady onto the table.
Sun took Licorice's hand and got up, and as soon as he turned around, there was a haze in his eyes. She gave a few words to Gansong and went to her main room.
Gan Song looked around, and saw that Sanniang's sisters were all drinking tea with the young ladies who had not yet returned to their own adults.
"Ladies and misses, the old lady asked the slave maid to invite you over." Gan Song respectfully said to Sanniang, Yuan Niang and Wu Niang who were sitting in one place, and then hurriedly ran to the front of Erniang, Siniang and Liuniang.
So in less than half an hour, several young ladies of the Wang family were invited to the front of the Sun family.
Looking at the Sun family sitting on the face of the tower mountain, the sisters were a little frightened, some were shocked because they had done something wrong, and some were afraid that they would be punished for accidentally violating Sun's taboo because of something. In short, the needles can be heard in the bright room of the Sun family's main house.
The anger in Sun's heart at this time could no longer be suppressed, she stood up and walked to Mama Chang, who was standing with her hands down, and threw a ball of something in her hand at the feet of Sanniang and the others.
"Show me what this thing is."
Several people invariably shrank back, and you looked at me, a little overwhelmed. In the end, Yuan Niang had the courage to step forward and pick up the thing that was thrown by Sun.
She picked it up, and Wu Niang said "Huh" and glanced at Er Niang.
Yuan Niang unfolded the thing in her hand and looked at it, and screamed in fright. The thing in his hand fell to the ground.
Wu Niang was surprised when she saw this, because she had already recognized that the material of that thing was the piece she used to embroider the birthday gift. She looked towards the ground, but when she saw what was clearly on it, she took a step back in fright, and then her face turned white.
At this time, the room remembered the sound of the sisters pumping one after another.
There is nothing wrong with the thing on the ground that is Yuan Niang's birthday gift, she embroidered a picture of Guanyin, the Guanyin monk has a kind face, but the strange thing is that the face is somewhat similar to the always strict Sun. This is also where Wu Niang is proud of her birthday gift.
But now the statue of Guanyin has changed beyond recognition, because the eyes, nose, ears, and lips of Guanyin have been painted with red marks with cinnabar.
"What is this? You're trying to curse me to death, aren't you? Sun shouted coldly.
When the sisters heard this, they all knelt down.
"Don't kneel me! I can't afford to kneel down with you, I'm afraid of losing my life. Sun's chest rose and fell violently.
Mama Chang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Sun to sit down on the couch.
"Old lady, don't be angry, this matter looks a little strange, maybe it has nothing to do with the young ladies, why don't you ask the old lady first to explain your temper?"
Sun lost his temper with a few people because he was angry and wanted to vent, and this matter naturally had to be asked clearly.
"Wu Niang, let's talk about it first, what the hell is going on." Sun glared at Wu Niang.
Wu Niang bit her lip and glanced at Erniang, who was kneeling respectfully and looking down at the floor: "My granddaughter's birthday gift was lost on the way to Songlin Courtyard in the morning, and my granddaughter has been sending people to look for it, but I didn't see it until just now, but I didn't want to make people look like this." Granddaughter...... In the dark. ”
Sun also knew that it was very unlikely that Wu Niang did it herself. So she just snorted and turned her head to look at Erniang.
"Erniang, tell me what's going on."
Erniang asked tentatively: "This was found by Sister Gansong in the ear room?" That's what Jin Sheng's cousin hid into, and other granddaughters don't know anything else. ”
I don't want to, but Sun snorted coldly when he heard this: "You don't know? This image was not searched from the ear room, but Mama Chang saw a maid sneakily going out of the yard with something in her arms, and stopped her after following her for a while, but found this. Do you know who this maid is? ”
Erniang looked ignorant: "My granddaughter doesn't know." ”
"Humph! It's a big girl named Cui'er in your Fangzhi Courtyard. Sun said angrily.
Erniang was stunned when she heard this.
Mama Chang added: "It was the slave maid who saw that she was looking raw and deliberately hiding it, so she wanted to follow her for a while to see where she went, but she didn't want to see her going into Fangzhi Courtyard." The slave was afraid that she would cause some trouble after she went in, so she stopped her, and only then did she know that she was the big maid next to Mrs. Liu. "Cui'er is a newly mentioned big girl, and she has been following the Liu family in Datong, so it is reasonable that the people in Songling Courtyard are not familiar with her.
Erniang was already surprised at the moment, she didn't expect Cui'er to be involved in this matter. According to her mother's guess, Cui'er is Hefeng's eyeliner, but today she looks more like Aunt Cui's side. Before the banquet, Sanniang said that she saw Cui'er, and now it seems that she should be right, Cui'er stole the painting she hid and wanted to return it to Aunt Cui, but she didn't want people to catch it.
Seeing Sun's angry gaze, Erniang tried to calm herself down and thought about how to clear her suspicions.
At this time, a girl outside reported that Young Master Sun had been invited and was waiting outside. (To be continued)
