Chapter 117: Chasing the Wind and Shadows (1)
Qin Niang walked lightly to Mrs. Wei's side and replied in a low voice: "Madam, according to your instructions, I probed the tones of the two girls, Gu and Duan, and also carefully checked their luggage. ”
"Oh", Mrs. Wei said with an interested expression.
"Both of them are very tight-lipped, and the news from Dongxi is roughly similar."
Mrs. Wei's eyes were cold: "The more fake things are, the more flawless they look." ”
Qin Niang smiled cautiously and said, "When that Gu girl took a bath, she did it herself, and Miss Duan seemed to be used to this situation. ”
"Do you do everything yourself?"
"Hmm. From taking a change of clothes to placing the pancreas to test the water temperature, they all do it by themselves, and the movements are very light and agile, not like they have never done it before. ”
Mrs. Wei's face was slightly gloomy.
"As for Miss Gu's luggage......"
Mrs. Wei's face showed hope: "How?" ”
Qin Niang said in a low voice: "There are only a few changes of clothes, but the fabrics are expensive, the profane clothes are all soft and smoky, not to mention cotton satin and lake silk, and a silk cloak...... A few pieces of jewelry, exquisite workmanship and generous style, not like ordinary craftsmanship. Among them is a hairpin, embedded with a soybean-sized diamond, cut into ten equal parts at equal distances, and it is brilliant...... Everything is simple, but everything is extraordinary. ”
Mrs. Wei hesitated a little: "The family of the big clan." There's always some old underground. I'm afraid that the ordinary things are all gone, and only these valuable things are left......"
Qin Niang's eyes wandered, and she leaned into Mrs. Wei's ear and whispered: "I also guessed like Madame, but when I was leaving, I accidentally saw a walnut box under the pillow of the big kang......"
Mrs. Wei's body shook.
Qin Niang nodded: "I can see clearly, the upper left corner of the box." Carved with a tiger with wings......"
Mrs. Wei said "ah", her eyes were blazing, and she said eagerly: "Really? ”
Qin Niang said in a low voice: "I watched very carefully. It's the box that Madame sent to Hongtai a few days ago. \\\\\\”
Mrs. Wei's face was cold. Where can there be a little bit of warmth and honey.
Qin Niang was shocked by the expression on Mrs. Wei's face, and was stunned, before she came back to her senses and said in a low voice: "And Miss Gu's clothes are all new clothes without toplessness, and they also have folded ......."
Mrs. Wei suddenly laughed. Smile like a sun.
Qin Niang's face was hesitant, and she stopped talking.
Mrs. Wei smiled, and her eyes fell on Nabo Gujia again: "This is the grace given to me by my son, the grace to the Wei family, we have to settle down." We don't want it, it's more people who want it with all their hearts! ”
"But what if that Miss Gu is from a humble background......" Speaking of this, Qin Niang paused, and peeked at Mrs. Wei's expression with her eyes. Mrs. Wei's eyes showed a faint sadness.
There is a sad expression on such a bright face, which makes people feel pity when they look at it.
"My adopted son. I don't know yet. Mrs. Wei said bitterly, "He has a lot of eyes." So far, what else do I have to say? At this point, she sighed helplessly, "As long as she can let him climb into her bed and give birth to a son." As for what is the surname...... We just found out. That will only lose your own dignity, it is better to pretend that you don't know to recognize this niece, and simply show our attitude, maybe there is still a time when things will turn around......"
Qin Niang's face turned red at Mrs. Wei's blunt words.
The corners of Mrs. Wei's mouth were lightly raised, with a hint of mockery: "Since Qi Han's accident, he has been guarding against me." Watch out for me. You also pretend to be deaf and dumb before me......"
"Madame!" A look of haste flashed in Qin Niang's eyes.
Madame Wei made a silent gesture. Said coldly: "Don't think I don't know what's going on in Dexin Courtyard......"
Qin Niang's body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head.
"I don't blame you. If you don't say it, it's also for the sake of our mother and son's affection, and for the sake of preserving his dignity. I think of you in my heart. But there are some things, the more you want to cover up, the more difficult it is to cover up the past......" Mrs. Wei's gaze turned to Bo Gujia in a daze, with a sudden illusory expression, "Three people, in less than half a year, have been pregnant and given birth before and after...... How can you make me ...... Willing...... When he was young, I was afraid that he would grow up in a deep mansion and be taught by women, and become a gentleman who did not learn or know. \\\\\\ weaned at ten months, he was enlightened by a master of Wen and Wu at the age of three, and he was thrown into the northwest camp when he was seven years old...... Now it's good, and it's become a restless Yanagishita Megumi...... It's been a waste of my thoughts! ”
Qin Niang smiled reluctantly: "Now that the situation is so chaotic, I'm afraid I'm not in the mood!" ”
Madame Wei seemed to be awakened by her answer, and her confused eyes brightened. She smiled faintly. The topic suddenly turned to another matter, and instructed Qin Niang: "Send someone to Chengzhou to say it, just say that the New Year is almost over, and Maosheng is not at home, I want to stay here to accompany me for the New Year." And Miss Gu, you went to serve in person, but don't let the people in the East Courtyard or the people in Garlic Miao Hutong see anything. ”
Qin Niang hurriedly answered "yes".
Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "Qin Niang, you and Bao Niang are both old people who followed me from Dongxi's mother's house, and they have been following me for more than thirty years......"
Qin Niang hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Madam, don't worry. The things in this house, Bao Niang and I have everything in our hearts! ”
"That's good!" Mrs. Wei's gaze turned to Nabo Gujia again, "This jade peach should have changed places a long time ago, but there is no place to put it...... In the West Wing. Just after freshening up, lying on the big kang in the north house, Gu Xiyan sneezed violently, and Duan Yingluo, who was sitting on the kang to clean things, said with concern: "What's wrong, it can't be a cold, right?" ”
Gu Xiyan rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Maybe someone is saying bad things about me behind my back." ”
Duan Yingluo smiled faintly and looked at the clothes in his hand: "Ye is really careful." Look at the clothes they are made of. Although the style is simple, this material is either brocade ground or lake silk. And these pieces of jewelry. The workmanship is exquisite, and the patterns are particularly ......"
Gu Xiyan was taken aback: "Quickly show it to me!" ”
Duan Ying was puzzled and handed the few pink, green, pink and yellow clothes with a fresh and tender look to Gu Xiyan.
With a cocoon, the fabric is woven into a plain pattern, with a restrained low-key gorgeousness.
This is more eye-catching than embroidering a phoenix on it with gold thread.
Gu Xiyan's heart sank, and she remembered the scene of the piano lady wandering around her room with a smile on her face. She secretly exclaimed, "Oh no."
Duan Yingluo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Xiyan's face was a little stiff: "I'm so poor, how can I wear clothes made of this fabric." And it's all new clothes. This doesn't make sense......"
Duan Yingluo's face tightened, and she smiled bitterly and turned out the jewelry box, found the lid of the box, and handed it to Gu Xiyan: "Look! ”
Gu Xiyan saw at a glance that there was at least a twelve-carat ground diamond.
Even in the era in which she lived, such a perfect cut and size were rare...... Is this Qi Maosheng's idea or Siping's idea? If it was Qi Maosheng, who would it show for such publicity? If it is four flat land, whose audacity does he dare to push himself to the cusp?
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
"What should I do?" Duan Yingluo said.
"Gotta find a way to find Siping." Gu Xiyan said coldly. "Let him help me get a few half-new clothes and very simple accessories to send in."
Duan Yingluo bit her lip, looked at the sky, and said, "Wait for the evening, I'll go out." ”
Gu Xiyan shook his head: "If you want to go, you can go during the day." Guards may be tighter at night. Today is the first day we have come, and if something goes wrong, we can also use the excuse of not knowing the rules of the Qi Mansion. But if you go out at night and are discovered...... The nature is different! ”
Duan Yingluo thought for a while, and felt that what Gu Xiyan said was very reasonable. She muttered, "Then without further ado......"
Gu Xiyan nodded, and told her with concern: "Be careful!" ”
"I'll save it." Duan Yingluo said calmly.
How could Gu Xiyan rest assured. Along the way, the inner courtyard of Qi Mansion was heavily guarded, far beyond her expectations, and Gu Mansion was compared to her. It's like the door of a vegetable garden.
She said worriedly, "If you can't get out." Just don't force it. Let's think of something else. If you can go out, by the way, find out where all the kitchens in the inner courtyard of Qi Mansion are located. Whether it's a large kitchen shared by everyone or a small kitchen in each premises, it is best to find out! ”
Duan Yingluo was stunned for a moment and said, "Girl, do you want to know where the kitchen is doing?" ”
Chromophobia also.
The large kitchen in the inner courtyard, which served everyone in the house, was a gathering place for servants...... It's like a teahouse in a bazaar...... The floating population is the fastest, and the news is naturally the most known......
Gu Xiyan didn't explain these things to Duan Yingluo.
She wanted to check Qi Maosheng's past, what Duan Yingluo would think, and Gu Xiyan was not sure.
It's better to check it quietly yourself.
If Qi Maosheng is really as upright as he appears, his behavior will be a bit dirty; If there is really something wrong with Qi Maosheng......
As soon as she thought of this, she felt a heartache.
Therefore, it is better to avoid the section of the tether.
Gu Xiyan said vaguely: "I have good cooking skills...... If necessary, you can also cook something for Mrs. Wei to eat......"
Duan Yingluo thought left.
She smiled knowingly: "I see, I see." Don't worry, even if you can't find Siping, I will help you find where the kitchen is, and what does Mrs. Wei like to eat...... Not only did I find out what Mrs. Wei likes to eat, which is my lord's hobby, but I also inquired about it......"
It's all where and where!
Gu Xiyan had no choice but to smile.
Duan Yingluo changed her clothes and went to Mrs. Wei to say goodbye, saying that there was a commonly used wicker box missing, and she was afraid that it had fallen on the carriage, so she had to go out to find Siping and ask.
Bao Niang, who was waiting on the side, sighed secretly.
Mrs. Wei glanced at Duan Yingluo with a smile, and instructed Bao Niang: "Bao Niang, you can take Miss Duan for a trip!" ”
Duan Yingluo thanked her and followed Bao Niang.
