Chapter 19: Life in the Rain, Tricks Exposed
Qingyan woke up in the sound of ticking rain, the coolness of the morning was even colder in the rain, she lifted the quilt, put on a coat, pushed open the window to see the rain all over the garden, the fresh breath mixed with the fragrance of the earth made her feel relaxed and happy.
Closed the window, couldn't wait to open the cage, chose a water-blue Luo skirt, wore a white silk and red plum jacket, and gently pulled up his long hair in a shawl, tied by a white headband, and then held up an oil-paper umbrella and went out.
Listening to the tinkling sound of the rain hitting the umbrella, she laughed happily, and the Yinling laughter only alarmed Yi Han and the others who were preparing breakfast for her for a moment.
"Miss Six—" When she ran over to see it, she was startled, and hurriedly ran over, not caring about getting wet in the rain.
"Look, look, it's raining, it's raining!" Her smile trembled, and there were hazy tears in her eyes.
"Miss Six?" She saw the sadness in her eyes and took her hand for a moment.
"Yihan, you know what? I like rainy days the most, the ticking of the rain, the coolness of the rain, everything after the rain will make me feel - the breath of life! ”
She paused, shook off the umbrella in her hand, and looked up at the rain curtain, thinking of the death of her family in the midday sun. In that life, she hated rainy days the most, couldn't go out to visit the house, couldn't go out to enjoy the flowers, couldn't go out to go out for spring, but she didn't expect that the whole family would die under her favorite sunny sky; Then in the second life, her parents died in a car accident in the sunny weather, and her grandmother also left her on a sunny day, and since then she has hated sunny days and likes rainy days, because she suddenly found that after the rainy days, everything recovers, and the whole world is full of vitality, which makes her feel hope, and also makes her silent heart ripple with life.
"Miss Six—" Her heart ached, although she didn't understand the specific meaning of her words, she could feel the joy and sadness in her heart.
Qingyan smiled indifferently, took Yi Han's hand and ran back to the room, with her help, changed into dry clothes, and sat in front of the window, watching the rain come out of his mind.
"Miss Six, it's time for breakfast!" Yi Han walked up to her and looked at her deeply, always feeling uneasy.
"Where's Jasmine?" She walked to the front of the meal and took a sip of shredded porridge.
"In the kitchen! said that she learned a new dim sum from Mrs. Wang, and she wanted to make it for the young lady to taste. ”
"Oh? She has a heart, you go and tell her, if someone named Chen Dong comes to look for her in the future, let her father take care of it more, if he hands something in, just bring it in. She put down the porridge bowl and instructed quietly.
"Who is this Chen Dong?" Yi Han's heart sank, thinking that Miss was alone for a moment that day, he felt bad, it couldn't be related to this person named Chen Dong, right?
"Don't worry, he's not a bad person, it's just that there are some things that you can't come forward for, Liu Da - he has more than enough heart but not enough strength, so he came here." She knew what she was thinking, so she had to explain it.
Yi Han put his mind at ease, although she didn't know if Miss needed help from outside forces, but in her heart, as long as it was Miss Six's business, it would be a big deal.
"It's been silent for a few days, what's the news in the house?" She wiped the corners of her mouth, walked to the bookcase, looked at the rain curtain outside the window, and drew a pen.
"Everything is going according to plan, but the events on the night of the Lantern Festival are too eye-catching, so it was postponed for a few days, but when the slave maid went out of the house to look for Miss yesterday, she secretly paid attention to it for a moment, that Zhao Da was talking everywhere about the third miss seducing Zhao Yuanche, looking at his greedy appearance, I am afraid that he is using this news to blackmail the third master." A look of hideousness flashed in Yi Han's eyes.
"Hmmm! Listening to the news in the house, I want to see if my high-ranking grandmother will see her as a treasure when this happens! She paused for a moment, looked out the window with sharp eyes, but didn't want to see Liu Jasmine carefully carrying a food box and running in happily.
Yi Han hurriedly stepped forward to take it, took out the snacks in the food box and sent them to her. I saw a lifelike plum blossom cake on the plate, light pink, and the sweet fragrance was very exciting to people's taste buds.
"Miss, this is plum blossom cake, it is learned by the slave maid and the slave maid's mother, it contains plum blossom juice, it is the slave's maid's mother picks plum blossoms in winter and brews them with snow water, and buries them under the osmanthus tree for these days, so it smells of plum blossoms, but it will taste the elegance of osmanthus flowers, the slave thinks that Miss loves sweets, so she puts more sugar, Miss taste it, do you like it?"
Qingyan saw the expectation on her face, and then smelled the sweet fragrance, so she picked up a piece, bit it gently, and suddenly her mouth was fragrant, sweet but not greasy, very delicious, so she raised her eyebrows, nodded with satisfaction, and put the remaining half of the plum blossom cake in her hand in her mouth.
Seeing this, Yi Han and Jasmine smiled happily, since the young lady said that she wanted to lose weight, she saw that she didn't care about what to eat, and it was rare that this plum blossom cake was right for her appetite.
"By the way, the slave maid heard Shi Rong from the third room say yesterday that the third lady seems to have taken something from the treasury and used it on the third lady's body, and was discovered by the old lady, so the old lady was so angry that day." Jasmine said suddenly.
Qingyan was stunned, and the plum blossom cake he had just held in his hand was put back, his eyes were contemplative, thinking about whether Li Wanru had also done such things in that life? What is it that makes the old lady care so much? If it is said to be used on Qinglong's body, but that day she did not have any special decorations except for dressing frivolously.
Seeing this, Yi Han glared at Jasmine, can't this little hoof wait for the young lady to finish eating? I just ate two pieces, and I didn't eat the third piece, and I lost my appetite again. The latter also found out about this and lowered his head in annoyance.
"Yi Han, what about the two mothers-in-law who will follow the lights that night? But still in the hospital? She closed her eyes, she couldn't think of it, maybe Li Wanru also moved that thing in her previous life, but she didn't know it, or she wasn't discovered.
"In! The old lady originally wanted to sell the slaves, Yi Xuan, Zhou Pozi and Liu Pozi, but the fourth lady resolutely refused to allow it, and then the young lady returned safely, so the matter was just done. ”
"Oh? Are they all right? Her eyes narrowed, and she picked up the plum blossom cake again and muttered to herself as if unintentionally.
"Yes!" Yi Han felt angry when he thought of this, but he didn't show it.
"What do you think of that night?" She lifted her pen, looked at the half-finished drawings on the desk, and continued.
"From the slave's point of view, although the young lady was frightened that night, she was fortunately frightened."
"How?"
"If it weren't for the sudden change, I'm afraid that Miss wouldn't know where she is now."
"Looks like you've discovered quite a few things."
"Yes! We borrowed Zhao Da's mouth, and someone borrowed Zhao Da's strength, if it wasn't for a sudden change, I was afraid that Zhao Da would succeed. ”
Yi Han thought that after she and Miss were separated by the crowd that night, she and Yi Xuan were blocked by Zhao Da in a no-man's land, and when she thought of his squinting appearance, she felt sick. To this day, she still remembers what he said when he looked at herself and Yi Xuan:
"What? The sixth lady is not with you? I still wanted to sell her to the Qinglou, although she is not fat, but your four masters and four ladies are not ugly people, with a little conditioning, you will eventually become a beauty, but now it is a pity. But with the appearance of the two of you, I, Zhao Da, will not make this trip! ”
Then, if it hadn't been for the little guy sent by the fourth master to come in time, I was afraid that the two of them would have been poisoned, but even so, the clothes of the two of them had been torn by him.
Immediately returned to the mansion, they went to the mouth of Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu to learn that Miss Six had been kidnapped, and the place of abduction was only one street away from where they were, which means that whether it was Miss Six's abduction or the two of them, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu were both in their eyes, so their attitude towards these two things was quite suspicious.
"Jasmine, do you know where they came from?" Her face was cold and furious. Since returning to the mansion, it is the first time I have heard Yihan talk about what happened that night, and he was only suspicious before, but now he is sure.
"The slave maid has been investigating for the past few days, and it was not until this morning that she learned from Chef Liu in the big kitchen that Zhou's mother-in-law's husband died three years ago, leaving her alone, and then she was introduced to the house by Shiya next to the third lady, and was directly sent to our Bishui Pavilion, which has always been the eyeliner of the third room; There is no one behind Mrs. Liu, her husband is a drunkard, working in the stable, and the two had a son, who died at the age of three, and then had no heirs. I met with the third lady under the recommendation of Mrs. Zhou beforehand. ”
"Oh? It seems that this rain has come at the right time, you can clean the blue water pavilion and get rid of the dirty things. ”
She put down the pen in her hand and looked at the spring rain picture on the case, a murderous aura came to her face, but she felt extremely happy.
"Yihan, I lost two bracelets, you send someone to search for them!" She smiled and took off the jade bracelet in her hand and threw it into Jasmine's arms.
"Yes! Slave and maid are going to search! ”
The two of them smiled and took the bracelet, turned and went out the door, and she spread out the paper again, and drew with a pen, and it was not long before there was a lot of noise in the courtyard. And her paintings are getting clearer and clearer, and it is her on the earth, with a baby face, peach blossom eyes, willow eyebrows, jade nose, cherry mouth, long hair pulled up, lily hairpins on her head, eyes like stars, lips like roses, beautiful, charming but not gaudy.
She put down the pen with satisfaction and turned to look out the window, at this time Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu had already knelt on the ground, their eyes full of horror, begging for mercy, and the cold rain hit their bodies, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them were trembling like chickens in soup.
Yi Han and Yi Xuan hurried to the house with two bags of things, while Jasmine stood in the rain with a paper umbrella.
"Stop!"
There was a loud shout outside the door, Yi Han and Yi Xuan paused, gritted their teeth unwillingly, and watched her step into the room first, turn around and close the door again.
