Chapter 117: The Peak of Conscience
About the kung fu of the tea, Furong and Xunzhen led the people to come, Shen opened his eyes and counted, and saw that there were a total of eight people, three of whom she knew, it was Hua Zai's family, Luo's mother and Zhishi, and the remaining five people were a little maid wearing second- and third-class clothes, and they were all only ten years old.
After entering the house, Fleur immediately replied to her life: "Old lady, everyone has brought it." ”
Old Madam Xu said "um", looked at Chen Ying, and saw her bow slightly, she knew that everyone had arrived, so she waved her hand and said to Furong: "Wait by the side." ”
Furong bowed down and stepped aside to stand, and the Xun Zhen was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Ying and ordered her to stay for verification.
Seeking truth and knowing the truth are her personal maids, and they also have the opportunity to enter Hongxiangwu, although Chen Ying believes in them, she still has to go through this scene.
Xun Zhen's face was unclear, but he still stood obediently in the crowd, Chen Ying took two steps forward, looked around at everyone, and raised his voice slightly: "Everyone, there are some things for you to do today, please go to the ear room over there and wait first." ”
After a pause, he said solemnly: "Please be quiet after going to the ear room, don't talk to each other, and your grandmother will call you over to talk later." As he spoke, he turned to Fleur and said with a smile: "Please also ask my sister to help watch it, and if there is anyone who talks nonsense in private, report it to me alone." ”
Hibiscus bow is what it should be.
Seeing that she was actually giving orders in front of Mrs. Xu, but the Xu, Shen and others had no different faces, all the servants knew that she had been promised by the top, and no one dared to ask more, so they quietly followed Furong to the side of the ear room without mentioning it.
Seeing them leaving, Chen Ying said to Mrs. Xu: "My granddaughter wants to set it up here, ask my grandmother to borrow a few people to make moves, and I still have to ask my grandmother to help with some other things." So he explained.
Old Madam Xu was going to see what she would do, but at this time, she had no objection, so Chen Ying commanded the rough servants to move east and west, and ran to the treasury to pick up things, etc., and was busy making an appointment for tea before it was proper, so she ordered someone to call the servants of Mingfeng Pavilion again.
A group of people led by the flower in the garden, accompanied by Furong himself, came to the east of the house again.
As soon as they stepped through the door, everyone felt a little strange.
At some point, there were seven or eight more screens in the room, separating the room from several smaller rooms.
Fortunately, this eastern room was originally connected to the Ming room, which is very large, so it is not cramped, but it looks very strange.
In addition, in front of Mrs. Xu, there was also a green lacquer openwork carved grape pattern four feet high, covered with a red cloth on a few days, which looked very mysterious.
Everyone couldn't help but feel worried, and looking at the masters on the seat, they were all solemn and silent, as if something big had happened, which made people feel a sense of tension for no reason.
Seeing this situation, the little girls were so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads, Luo's mother and others also rested, and after the group entered the house, they all stood silently, and they didn't dare to come out.
Chen Ying glanced around at them, took a few steps forward, and said, "I called you here today because something big happened in Mingfeng Pavilion...... and he explained the matter of Wei Sheng in a few words.
Although she said it briefly, the matter of the victory was so great that all the servants changed color when they heard it, and even the oldest flower in the nursery was pale at this time, and only the informed knowledge could remain calm.
"Since this thing has been put into my study, it goes without saying that it must have been done by a thief, so I am ordered by my grandmother to come to try you for a first trial." Chen Ying's voice continued to sound, sounding a little smug.
As she spoke, she called Fleur, lifted the red cloth covering the high table on the side, twisted the corners of her mouth and said, "Look up, what is this?" ”
Everyone looked up in response, and saw that above the high table, there was a crystal jade tripod, although the small tripod was not big, and it had not been carved with patterns, but the warm halo seemed to pour down like flowing water, as if Chen Ying's eyebrows and eyes were also reflected gently.
"This is the 'Question Triple' that I easily borrowed from my grandmother." Chen Ying said, her voice and expression were extremely solemn: "This tripod was obtained by my grandfather from the hands of the people of Northern Xinjiang back then. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a slight commotion among the servants.
Not to mention the strange effect of this jade tripod, just listening to what Chen Ying said at the moment, it clearly revealed an ominous meaning, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room became more and more tense.
Chen Ying stretched out his hands and said indifferently: "Everyone, please see, my two hands are clean and clean, and there is nothing, isn't it?" ”
Everyone looked at her hand, and saw that her palm was white and greasy, and there were a few very inappropriate calluses on the palm and knuckles, but it was indeed clean.
Chen Ying put away her palm, walked to the jade tripod, first put her left hand into the tripod, and said to Xu, "Please ask my aunt a question casually." ”
Xu had already received Chen Ying's advice, so he said very cooperatively at this time: "Okay, let me ask you, is your mother's surname Li?" ”
The answer to this question is obvious, so Chen Ying's answer is only one word: "Yes." ”
After saying that, she took her hand out of her hand and showed it to everyone, "You see, I am telling the truth, so my palm is as white as new." ”
As she spoke, she showed her right hand to the crowd again, and said, "You see, my hand is nothing. After speaking, he once again stretched out his hand into the ding, and smiled at Xu's slightly: "Please ask my aunt another question." ”
Xu asked again: "Are you the third girl of the Chengguo Mansion?" ”
The answer to this question is also obvious, but Chen Ying replied with two words this time: "No." ”
With that, she slowly took her right hand out of the tripod and spread out her palm.
The countenances of all the servants changed.
Chen Ying's right palm actually turned red.
"Look, my palms are turning red." Chen Ying showed his palms to everyone, and even leaned on his side to make Xu and Shen see clearly, and then said, "The palms turned red, which shows that I am lying." ”
When she said this, there was a little more smugness in her voice, as if she was deeply pleased with this result, and then turned to Mrs. Xu and said respectfully: "Thank you grandmother for giving this treasure." The granddaughter knows that this treasure is very precious, and she can only use it once a year, otherwise she will lose her aura. The grandmother gave such a treasure to her granddaughter, thanking the grandmother for her love. ”
