Act 55 Misfortune (2)
Remember in a second
The three people who didn't know at a loss stood in place with big eyes and stared at each other, until Aunt Weining suddenly picked up the agate and phoenix hairpin on the ground, pointed to them and caught the stolen goods before they realized their situation.
"Whose the hell is this? Why is it here, quick talk? "Aunt Wei Ning is eager to know the answer right now.
Suddenly, Yuxuan had a bad premonition, could it be that this hairpin has a big article? Puzzled, he glanced at Lin Xinxu, who was watching coldly, and then fell on Shi Ruomei, who also sensed that something was wrong.
Only whispered in her ear, "There is a problem. Shi Ruomei immediately responded secretly, "I knew that Lin Xinxu was not so kind, she gave you a hot potato." ”
"There's no way around that, who let us take it, the most important thing is how to pass Aunt Weining's level now." As soon as Yu Xuanxun's whispered words were finished, Aunt Weining's accusation sounded again.
"Bold, you dare to whisper in front of me, and you don't want to recruit it quickly, why does my hairpin appear in your hands? If you still don't answer truthfully, you have to hand it over to the guards to deal with, and lock you up for a few days, and see if you still don't obey! ”
Zhiye was the most forbidden to be frightened, so he was yelled at like this, and immediately knelt down in place, and confessed Lin Xinxu without thinking, "Aunt calms her anger, this hairpin was given to us by Lin Xinxu, saying that it is to thank us for our help, and I hope that Aunt Mingjian." ”
Yuxuan found that Zhiye couldn't hold his breath like this, and was afraid that what she said would be vetoed by Lin Xinxu, who had been prepared, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, aunt, this hairpin was indeed sent by Lin Xinxu." ”
Aunt Weining probed Lin Xinxu's body with a half-believing gaze, and asked in a deep voice, "What they said is true?" ”
Lin Xinxu was very calm, walked up to them in an orderly manner, and explained to Aunt Weining, "Back to my aunt's words, Xinxu is indeed to thank them for sending a few hairpins, but such a chic and elegant hairpin Xinxu is also the first time I have seen it, where to send it, there must be some misunderstanding in it." ”
"Lin Xinxu, don't talk nonsense with your eyes open, these three hairpins are obviously given by you personally, and it's too much to still make up words and quibble here." Shi Ruomei couldn't see that Lin Xinxu was obviously planting the blame, but he didn't know anything, and he looked innocent and had nothing to do with me, so he was just angry.
Lin Xinxu pretended to be taken aback, retreated behind Aunt Weining, and begged aggrievedly, "I believe that my aunt will be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and I think my aunt must have her own conclusion when everyone has obtained the stolen goods, and I hope that my aunt will be fair." ”
"Lin Xinxu!" Shi Ruomei roared angrily.
Aunt Wei Ning suddenly stepped forward and raised her hand to give Shi Ruomei a slap in the face, where did she have any reason to speak of, she could not care about anything, but no one would be allowed to hit the idea of this hairpin.
"So bold, don't think that your sister is the side concubine of the Ninth Prince, I can tolerate that you have no one in your eyes here, and there are no rules at all." As he spoke, he shouted to Chu Xiu outside the palace, "Someone." ”
After a few times of passing words and shouting, the guards soon came to report, Aunt Wei Ning pointed to Zhiye on the ground, as well as Yu Xuanxun and Shi Ruomei on the side, and said coldly, "Put them all in the small black room of Chuxiu Palace and reflect on it for a night, no one is allowed to bring them food, and violators will also be punished." ”
"You can't do this to us, auntie...... You are so kind to us, wait for me to come out, you must tell my sister...... Let us go......" Shi Ruomei, who was most afraid of being locked up, yelled and shouted indiscriminately, and Aunt Weining ignored it.
Yu Xuanxun comforted Zhiye next to him very calmly, "Don't be afraid to have me with you, Zhiye is fine." ”
Seeing Yuxuanxun's reluctant face, Zhiye also secretly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and smiled back at her, "We are in trouble, thank you." ”
The guards ruthlessly pushed them into the small black room, and soon locked the door, and Zhiye, who was hurt by the fall, couldn't help crying after all, "It's all my fault, if it weren't for the fact that I wouldn't have caused such a disaster today for a little bit of greed for Lin Xinxu, it's all my fault." ”
Shi Ruomei saw that Zhiye began to blame herself, and her already uncomfortable mood was even worse now, and she yelled at the door of the small black room, "Lin Xinxu, you wait for me, since you openly declared war with Miss Ben, then Miss Ben will have a good time with you." And that Aunt Weining, who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong...... When I go out, I must sue you properly. ”
Gradually, the momentum softened, Yu Xuanxun looked at the two emotionally uncontrollable sisters in front of him, and helplessly hugged them into his arms, "Don't do this, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, we haven't done it at all, I believe that justice will definitely be on our side." ”
Although Liuyugong's experience told her that such an idea was a fantasy in the palace, Yuxuanxun, who had already died once, would rather believe it like this, at least his heart was a little better, and at the same time, he had a force that could support him.
"Righteousness?" Shi Ruomei sat down next to Yu Xuanxun, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "Any justice is a lie, if there were, we wouldn't be locked up here now." ”
"If you want to open it a little, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise." Yu Xuanxun smiled and comforted, "The mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." ”
"I hope so."
Lin Xinxu saw that Shi Ruomei had finally learned a little lesson, but she still couldn't be happy in her heart, although she was not implicated, she couldn't escape from Aunt Ning's punishment.
"I'm all ready to stand up, I don't forget all those rules and etiquette in the blink of an eye, I like to play around, don't I? Very good, I'll have a good time with you, give me a good hand of incense, no one is allowed to play any tricks, if you are found to have started from scratch. ”
The show girls secretly complained in their hearts, but Lin Xinxu was sullen, if the whole teacher was going to pay the price from herself, she would rather think of other ways.
"Lin Xinxu, come with me." Aunt Wei Ning always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, and the three of them would never point the finger at Lin Xinxu, who had helped, for no reason.
After thinking about it again, he decided to ask her, and took Lin Xinxu to his residence, without the previous strictness, showing a trace of easy-going.
"Sit down, among so many people today, it's rare that you still care about me, and I think you have a lot to say to me." Aunt Wei Ning sat down on the throne and looked at her as if inquiringly.
Lin Xinxu suddenly felt a hint of coolness, and replied pretending to be frightened, "Auntie said with a smile, I should care about you, if you don't come, who will teach us the rules and etiquette of the palace." ”
"You think too highly of me, the most important thing in this palace is people, but what is most lacking is a beautiful woman like you." Aunt Weining stared at Lin Xinxu's pretty face carefully, and she was uncomfortable when she saw it.
"Auntie praised it." Lin Xinxu replied in his heart.
Aunt Wei Ning suddenly stood up, paced to her side, and whispered in her ear, "If you want to get on the top, you can't climb up by brushing people down a few times at the starting point, if your mind is too obvious, I'm afraid you will gain more than just disappointment." ”
Lin Xinxu was stunned and confused, "Thank you aunt for mentioning it." ”
"I'm not mentioning you, I'm warning you." Wei Ning suddenly said what she thought in her heart without concealing it, the Queen Mother ordered her to be responsible for training these show girls, not to see how they fight to the death, but to select a few people with good conduct from them.
Now it seems that there are very few people who really match their words and deeds.
Moreover, the extravagant hope of being like them who are bent on winning the dragon's grace is the best psychology that is easy to be used by people with intentions, just like Lin Xinxu in front of him.
Although she flatly denied that this agate colored phoenix hairpin had nothing to do with her, she believed that Yu Xuanxun was not lying, just because her eyes without any impurities were only mixed with some helplessness in addition to sincerity.
But to be able to take this hairpin from her room, Lin Xinxu alone has no way to get it, after all, it has only been a short time since she came to Chuxiu Palace, and it is not so easy to buy people.
Unless...... There are some powerful people in the palace who are supporting her and giving advice.
Xin Su didn't understand the meaning of her aunt's words, but she would still remember what her aunt said. Lin Xinxu bowed his head in response.
Wei Ning snorted coldly, "If you don't know the meaning, you still have to keep it in mind, aren't you afraid of misunderstanding my meaning and making jokes?" ”
Seeing that Lin Xinxu was suddenly choked, he was silent, and continued, "Okay, abiding by your duty is the most important thing. As he spoke, he took out a piece of letter from his bosom and handed it to her, "I asked you to come and need your help with one more thing." ”
"Auntie means ......"
"I heard that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are the most outstanding among the many show girls right now." Lin Xinxu's eyes showed a few smiles, "But ......" just these two words made Lin Xinxu's joy half cold, "These are not important to me, the important thing is that you help me arrange the list." ”
Lin Xinxu looked at the rows of names on it and asked in surprise, "Auntie, what are you going to do?" ”
"At the behest of the Queen Mother, I arranged for the show girls to go to different palaces to have a look, in order to open your eyes and gain a long insight, which has also become a key for the Queen Mother to test you." Wei Ning paused, glanced at Lin Xinxu and continued, "Now that there is a hairpin matter, I have no time to distract, so this matter will be left to you." ”
"Thank you aunt for your appreciation and love, Xin Xu will do her best to handle this matter."
"So much for the best. Give me the list in three days. ”
"Yes, if there is nothing to do, Xin Xu will retire first."
