Chapter 8: The Coming Star (2)
Yao looked at his mother's gloating look, and his heart was blocked. She urged, "Chaoyu Lingyu, hurry up, the master is still waiting in the mansion, don't let him worry!" Mrs. Yao knew her daughter's temper, and she had always said the same, so she didn't keep her, but just instructed, "If Qiu Shenglin dares to show face to you, you immediately let people come back and tell your mother, and your mother will definitely give you anger!" ”
In the study of the Autumn Mansion, Mingxu was fascinated by the red Gengti. Qiu Shenglin asked cautiously, "But what's wrong?" Mingxu said tactfully, "Did the person who combined the eight characters ever say anything to you?" Qiu Shenglin said, "At that time, the man said that Madame's eight characters are very compatible with me, and I have the fate of Wangfu, and I will definitely ......."
"Master Qiu," Ming Xu interrupted him, "I'm afraid that the person who joined the eight characters said this on purpose because he received money from others!" The two of you have a golden life and a wooden life, and they are already mutually restrictive. You belong to the rat, she belongs to the sheep, and the rat and the sheep do not have their heads. Besides, Mrs. should have a big catastrophe in her life, and the loss of her son Kefu is a trivial matter, and what I'm afraid of is that the entire Qiu family will be robbed! ”
The more Qiu Shenglin listened, the more chilled he became, the whole person was cold from head to toe, and his hands trembled like a big mouse that had eaten cigarette pouch oil, "But, but after Madame passed the door, nothing happened to me, but recently, ......" Mingxu said, "Recently, the uneasiness in the house is related to Madame's catastrophe." ”
"Who is talking nonsense here, making a big fuss!" A slender figure appeared at the door of the study, Lingyu helped Yao, and walked in with an angry face. Qiu Shenglin stood up and said, "Zhilan, you, why did you come back, didn't I let you stay for a few more days?" Yao glanced at Mingxu and said, "If I don't come back, because this person is here to slander the concubine, will the concubine still have a foothold in this mansion?" ”
When Mingxu saw that the master was coming, he was not shocked or panicked, he bowed slightly to the Yao family, "Madame's words are different, since Master Qiu and I are confidants, we should tell the truth and slander these two words, I can't afford it!" ”
Yao walked up to him and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Then I want to ask for advice, how is the recent disaster in the house related to the concubine!" Mingxu glanced at Qiu Shenglin and said, "Madame has lost her beloved son, and she must have asked Lang Zhong to see it, so may I ask, what is the reason?" ”
"This ......" Yao was speechless for a while, and when she gave birth that day, there was neither a difficult birth nor any accidents, and she even heard the cry of the child after birth. But when the midwife took the child to Qiu Shenglin to report the good news, the child was actually breathless!
"Also, Master Qiu is newly married to his aunt's wife, and the most unhappy person in this house is none other than Mrs.! Two days in a row, two people died, how should Mrs. explain this? There was no change in Mingxu's face, neither happy nor sad.
Qiu Shenglin said, "I can testify for my wife in this matter!" When Mei Xiang had an accident, her wife was not present, Chunxi met a ghost, and she was not in the house, these two things really had nothing to do with her. Hearing her husband speak for herself, Yao hurriedly said, "Thank you, master!" ”
Mingxu was dismissive, "Madame's absence in the mansion doesn't mean that it has nothing to do with this matter." After all, Madame won't do this kind of thing herself! Qiu Shenglin stubbornly said, "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!" Mingxu said, "Forgive me for saying more, Master Qiu is very happy, has Madame ever given anything to Mrs. Xin?" ”
"I think about it, it seems like that's the case." Qiu Shenglin saw Chao Yu standing outside the door at a glance, and immediately remembered, "By the way, that night, Mrs. asked Chao Yu to send a ruyi to the west courtyard, and I happened to meet it!" ”
Hearing about that incident, Chao Yu immediately walked in, knelt on the ground and said, "Master, that Ruyi is a dowry brought by our wife from her mother's house, and it has been regarded as a treasure for many years. That night, my wife specially ordered me to pick it up and send it to the West Courtyard, which was a good intention! ”
"Chaoyu, you get up first!" Qiu Shenglin sighed and said, "Mingxu, is there a misunderstanding in this matter?" Mingxu smiled slightly and said, "Master Qiu can ask someone to find out if the ruyi is still there." Qiu Shenglin gritted his teeth and said, "Zhilan, don't blame me, I'm also here to prove your innocence!" Yuanbao, you personally take people to the West Courtyard, you must find that Ruyi!"
Yuan Bao was embarrassed and said, "Master, the little one has never seen what that Ruyi looks like, it's better to let me take Sister Chaoyu with me, it's easier to find!" Qiu Shenglin said, "Okay, go and come back quickly!" ”
It was pitch black in the west courtyard, and Wu'er and those family members were carried out. Chunxi's body was still in the well, and Yuan Bao trembled when he thought about it. He stammered, "Chao, Sister Chaoyu, you, you say, here is really, really, there are ghosts?" Chaoyu was as dignified and dignified as ever, she walked behind Yuanbao and said softly, "If you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it." Besides, haven't you heard that sentence, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. If you walk right, even if there are ghosts and gods, they won't bother you! ”
"Sister Chaoyu, you really deserve to be the one who follows Madame, and you just talk differently. Hearing you say that, I'm really not afraid! Yuan Bao said with a smile, and a black cat on the wall jumped over with a "whoosh", so scared that he pulled Chaoyu to squat down with a "mom", Chaoyu couldn't help but laugh, "Don't be afraid, it's just a cat!" Yuan Bao stood up in disgrace, felt embarrassed, and said embarrassedly, "This is really a soldier!" ”
A few people entered the west courtyard, and in the night, the eaves and roofs looked like giant beasts in the dark, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net with their bloody mouths open. Chaoyu said, "When I came to send Ruyi that night, I saw Chunxi put it in the cabinet in the main room, let's go in and find it, it should be there!" ”
Yuan Bao nodded, walked in front with a lantern, and helped her light the steps. Chaoyu was not worried, that Ruyi would not grow legs, and ran away by himself. When you find it, you can show it to the master, and you can return the lady's innocence.
There was still a strong and somewhat choking fat powder fragrance in the bedroom, and Chaoyu covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and walked in to open the cabinet where Chunxi was happy. There were a few brocade boxes inside, but she opened them one by one, but she didn't find the Ruyi, "It's weird, did you put it somewhere else?" Chaoyu took the ingots to rummage through the cabinets together, almost turning this place upside down, and the Ruyi was like playing hide and seek with them, gone!
"How is it possible, it's gone, it's gone!" Chao Yu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, "Yuanbao, you help me think about it, is there any other place where I can put things?" Yuan Bao said, "Don't worry, I'll go over there and have a look!" He instructed the others to rummage in the wing room outside, and he also ran out of the bedroom, leaving Chaoyu alone.
