Chapter Twenty-Three: Missing
Even if the eldest lady was dissatisfied with Su Wanqiu in her heart, she had to admit that Su Wanqiu was indeed much smarter than Su Xueyi in terms of scheming city government alone.
The eldest lady rubbed the armor on her hand, her eyes were dark, and she said, "In the past two days, pay more attention to the movements in the Moxiang Courtyard, and report anything to me." ”
"Yes." Zhou's mother responded, "What about Liang Zheng?" Do you really want to give him all twenty taels of silver? ”
"Give it to him." The eldest lady smiled faintly, "If you can get rid of Su Wanqiu here, what is the twenty taels of silver, and in the future, Xue Yi will marry into the Guogong Mansion with unlimited scenery, do you still need to care about these twenty taels of silver?" ”
"That's what Madame said."
Liang Zheng has been in and out of the house in the past few days, how can the eldest lady not know as the head of the house, first secretly observed for a few days, and when she understood the cause and effect of the matter, she arrested Liang Zheng, Liang Zheng was not a good person, and owed a huge amount of gambling debts, the eldest lady just lightly promised twenty taels of silver, so that Liang Zheng was willing to frame the moon for the eldest lady.
On the other side, Su Wanqiu took Bang Yue back to the Moxiang Courtyard, Bang Yue was very worried in her heart, she thought that Su Wanqiu would say something, but who knew that Su Wanqiu just said: "You go down and rest first." ”
Su Wanqiu's tone was very light, as usual, but Wan Yue's heart couldn't help but panic, her mind was extremely sensitive and delicate, she returned to her room, and kept pondering Su Wanqiu's expression and tone at that time.
"Isn't Miss willing to let me serve closely......" Bang Yue was flustered, her thin lips pursed slightly, and she raised her eyes to look in the direction of the main house, only to see that the first rain was rolling her long hair like a waterfall for Su Wanqiu, and her heart was churning.
What she was thinking about repeatedly in her mind was what the eldest lady had said to her today, and after a long time, she took a deep breath, the third lady treated her very well, no matter what, she couldn't betray the third miss.
At this time, in the middle of the main house.
"Miss, don't you believe in Bangyue?" Chu Yu asked softly.
Su Wanqiu smiled faintly: "I naturally believe her, the eldest lady arrested her in a hurry, and let her back so easily, there must be a backhand, Mother Zhou has countless ways to find the eldest lady's bracelet from Bang Yue's room, but she just said that she couldn't find it, don't you think it's very strange?" ”
"The slave maid also felt strange in her heart, but could it be that the eldest lady didn't want to get into too much trouble with the young lady, so she used Bang Yue to show favor to the young lady?" Chu Yu asked, it is said that the eldest lady is the head of the house, and there is no need to target Su Wanqiu everywhere, Su Wanqiu's marriage is in the hands of the eldest lady, and when the time comes, let Su Wanqiu marry far away, and the housewives of other families in Linchuan will also do the same to deal with disobedient children.
Su Wanqiu shook her head slightly: "If it was before, she would still get along with me, but now that the marriage of the Rongguo Mansion is here, she herself is from an ordinary background, so she naturally hopes that her daughter can marry highly, and what she wants is nothing more than the scenery after Su Xueyi marries into the Guogong Mansion." ”
"But......" Chu Yu asked puzzled, "Miss doesn't mean to like Chen Gongzi either." ”
"This kind of thing has nothing to do with whether I like it or not, even Su Xueyi may not like this Chen Gongzi." Su Wanqiu looked at her master and servant reflected in the bronze mirror, looked at the makeup under the makeup, stretched out her hand to open the drawer under the makeup, and said, "As long as I have the possibility of marrying Chen Mu, the eldest lady will not be at ease." ”
"What is Miss looking for?" Chu Yu saw that Su Wanqiu seemed to be rummaging for something, so he asked.
"The begonia hairpin that my eldest brother gave me before, I remember that you put it here." Su Wanqiu's beautiful eyebrows rose slightly, and asked, "But am I mistaken?" ”
"Miss is not mistaken, the slave maid is indeed placed here." Chu Yu said, so he stepped forward to rummage, but the begonia flower silver hairpin seemed to be gone, "Miss, this ...... The slave and maid were obviously placed here. ”
Su Wanqiu's eyes were dyed with a deep ink, and she immediately waved her hand and said, "Forget it." ”
"Miss, could it be ......" Chu Yu stopped talking a little, turned his head and looked at the direction of Bang Yue's room, the meaning was self-evident.
Now in this room, except for Su Wanqiu, only Chu Yu and Bang Yue can enter and leave freely, and the rest of the maids are not allowed to come in unless they are ordered by Miss, and Chu Yu himself definitely did not steal Su Wanqiu's things, so there is only one possibility left, that is, Bang Yue stole Miss's silver hairpin, thinking of what happened today, Chu Yu felt that this matter was very likely.
"No need to make a noise, just a hairpin." Su Wanqiu exhaled lightly, "I can still trust the person who Bang Yue is, and you don't have to say anything more to her." ”
Chu Yu didn't ask much, just nodded.
This matter can be regarded as a gentle revelation, although Su Wanqiu has some doubts in her heart, but she still trusts Bang Yue, so she doesn't ask, and treats her as before.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Wanqiu went to Rongsong Courtyard with the first rain to greet the old lady as usual, and the rest of the people also arrived in Rongsong Courtyard early.
After each of them said goodbye, the crowd began to gossip.
"I heard that there is a magnolia planted in the yard of the fourth sister, but I am really envious of others." Su Yunqian's words were a little sour, and her eyes turned slightly, "My yard is not as good as the fourth sister." ”
"Isn't there begonia flowers planted in the yard of the third sister?" Su Xueyi smiled, "If the second sister likes it, she can naturally plant it in the yard, I'm afraid that those girls will be clumsy and won't be able to take care of it." ”
Su Yunqian snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know that Qiao Niang in your yard is from the palace and is the best at mowing grass and trees, if the fourth sister doesn't mind, it's better to give me that girl." ”
"What did the second sister say, the girl next to you is also very dexterous, is the second sister willing to give me the spring cut?" Su Xueyi smiled and asked.
Cutting Chun is Su Yunqian's personal big girl, so she naturally refuses, so she has to argue.
Seeing this, the old lady intercepted and said: "My yard is also empty, and a few days ago I discussed with Late Autumn what to plant in the yard, what suggestions do you have?" ”
The old lady's yard is mostly planted with medicinal herbs and flowers, and the yard is often filled with a fresh medicinal fragrance, which is also unique.
When Su Wanqiu heard this, she looked at Su Yunwan, who had been quiet and silent, and asked gently, "Fifth sister, what do you say should be planted in the old lady's yard?" ”
Su Yun was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Su Wanqiu, and saw Su Wanqiu's smile gentle and light, her heart suddenly settled down, and she said softly: "I don't know what the old lady thinks of the locust tree?" ”
The eldest lady coughed lightly.
Su Xueyi smiled and said, "I think Wutong is better." ”
