Chapter 72: Cherry (II)
I don't know why, the coral looked at them all with astringent eyes, and Jade even turned her face sideways to secretly wipe the corners of her eyes.
Luo Qiao remembered that he saw the fourth master give money to Xiao Liuzi in the morning.
But at this time, who can make a sound......
Her expression was cloudy, and after a while, she whispered, "I'll go and talk to the fourth master." ”
Coral pulled her: "If the fourth master wants to stand up for Dijin, he will come out when Dijin is pulled out......"
Luoqiao hesitated for a long time, and finally followed Coral back to the house.
But when I got to bed, I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
The room with her was Sango, who was so noisy that she couldn't sleep, and yawned: "Don't think about it, go to sleep!" This is over. ”
The more Coral said this, the more uneasy Luo Qiao became. She simply got up in her clothes, poured a glass of water outside by moonlight, and stood at the table and sipped it in small sips.
After a while, Luo Qiao felt a little cold on her body, and was about to turn around to go back to the house, when she saw the tortoiseshell rubbing her eyes and walking in.
"Oops!" She didn't see it clearly for a moment, and was startled.
Luo Qiao hurriedly smiled: "It's me, Luo Qiao." ”
"It turned out to be Sister Luoqiao." The tortoiseshell breathed a sigh of relief, "You can get up and drink tea too!" ”
Luo Qiao said "um" absentmindedly, she watched the tortoiseshell pour tea lightly, thinking that she was usually so cautious, never saying much, her heart moved, and she couldn't help but say: "Tortoiseshell, do you believe that it is the cherry that Dijin stole to eat?" ”
The tortoiseshell was slightly stunned.
Maybe it's because I have the same doubts in my heart as Luo Qiao, or maybe it's because people in the dark have become weak......
She said in a low voice: "On weekdays, the fourth master comes to ask the eldest lady to accompany Andijin, I don't dare to say anything else, but there should be such a thing as stealing cherries...... What's more, I put the uneaten cherries in the cabinet like that...... I remember the plate with the cherries was a sweet white porcelain ......."
It's like meeting a soulmate.
Luo Qiao told the tortoiseshell about seeing the fourth master looking for Xiao Liuzi to buy something in the morning: "...... I've heard people say before that the fourth master and Dijin are good. You say, could it be that the fourth master bought it to please Dijin? ”
"Then, isn't that wronged Dijin?" The more tortoiseshell listened, the more strange it felt.
"I want to talk to the fourth master...... "Luo Qiao didn't give up, and wanted to get the support of the tortoiseshell.
The tortoiseshell hesitated for a long time and said, "Why don't I go with my sister?" ”
Luo Qiao made up his mind when he heard this.
Fortunately, they both lived in the same courtyard, and the two of them went to knock on the window lattice of Luo Zhensheng.
Immediately, a voice said vigilantly: "Who?" ”
The voice is low and the response is fast. Apparently the people in the house did not sleep at all.
"Fourth master, I'm Luoqiao." Luoqiao stood on the window lattice and whispered, "I have something to look for you!" ”
"What, what?" Luo Zhensheng's voice stumbled, "Let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”
Luo Qiao and the tortoiseshell couldn't help but glance at each other.
"This spring is cold, I'm afraid that Dijin can't stand it, the fourth master still finds a way to send a thin quilt to Dijin to keep out the cold!"
"I see." Luo Zhensheng replied a little lonely, and then stopped talking.
Luo Qiao stood there, only feeling the cold of this late spring night.
Early the next morning, Wu Niang and Eleven Niang went together to greet the eldest lady.
Since Wu Niang's marriage was decided, Wu Niang's heart seems to have settled, and she is much more familiar with Eleven Niang than in the past.
The two entered the house, and the eldest lady was sitting on the kang drinking tea by Xu's mother.
Although this scene is no different from usual, I don't know why, Shi Niang felt that there was a bit of tiredness in today's eldest lady's expression.
Seeing Wu Niang and Eleven Niang, the eldest lady had a faint expression: "You are here!" ”
"Mother!" The two of them bent their knees and saluted the eldest lady.
"Sit down!" The eldest lady nodded, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
"I've eaten it." The two replied in unison, sitting on the small pestle next to the big lady's kang.
Wu Niang responded: "Mother slept well yesterday? ”
The eldest lady glanced at Wu Niang coldly.
Wu Niang was inexplicable, and she didn't know where she was wrong.
was panicking in my heart, Brother Wu came.
The eldest lady immediately melted the ice and snow, and when Brother Wu said hello, she immediately hugged him to the kang: "What did you eat in the morning?" ”
Brother Xuan said, "Grandmother, the cherries are delicious." ”
Everyone was stunned.
The eldest * grandmother cautiously asked Brother Xu: "You ate the cherries in your grandmother's ear room?" ”
Brother Wu looked at his mother with an incorrect expression, and hurriedly hid in the arms of the eldest lady: "Grandmother's cherries are delicious, and the ones given by my mother are also delicious......"
Big * milk's face suddenly became ugly: "Mother, I don't know...... I didn't think of it...... When I go back, I will teach him a good lesson. ”
"Alright, alright, it's not a big deal." The eldest lady smiled and looked at her grandson who threw herself in her arms, "Cherries are beautiful and delicious, adults love them, let alone a child." ”
"Mother, a gentleman has something to do and something not to do." Big * Milk's face was very ugly, "What does he want to eat, he said generously, who still doesn't give him food, but he wants to sneak into your ear room......"
The eldest lady was a little unhappy when she heard this.
The eldest * grandmother looked at it, hurriedly took the words, and looked at Brother Xu's nurse: "How did you take the child?" Is there a sweet white porcelain plate on the table? ”
The nurse said timidly: "I, I don't know." ”
Brother Xuan was about to get off the kang when he heard this.
The maid on the side hurriedly hugged him off the kang.
He "pedaled" to the side of the small table, pulled out the drawer of the small table, and took out a sweet white porcelain plate: "You can't find it!" ”
The big * were so angry that they trembled all over, and they couldn't say anything.
The eldest lady laughed: "It's still our brother who is smart." ”
Brother Xuan took out a few cherries from the drawer: "I left it for Brother Zhen to eat." He also pursed his lips and smiled, looking very proud.
When the eldest lady heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, and she got up and hugged Brother Xu: "Good boy, what a good boy." Before he finished speaking, tears could not help but fall.
I was confused about Wu Niang and Eleven Niang, I don't know which one of them was played!
The big * grandmother was busy discussing the eldest wife: "Then you see, she ...... the brocade"
Hearing the big * milk mention the name of Dijin, Wu Niang couldn't help but be surprised.
The eldest lady had already smiled coldly: "Let Mother Hang ask, where did the cherries come from?" ”
The cherries on the market in advance cost ten taels of silver a catty, and it is impossible for ordinary people to buy them at this time. It could only be Luo Zhensheng. Is it any wonder that he borrowed money from himself yesterday? Is it any wonder that Dijin was locked up and he didn't dare to speak out? When I came back after buying something, I didn't honor my parents first, but I actually gave it to the maid......
The eldest * grandmother immediately understood what the eldest lady meant, nodded, and was about to tell Hang's mother, but the little maid said, "Big wife, Hang's mother is here!" ”
"Let her in!" As soon as the eldest lady's words fell, Hang's mother had already taken three steps and walked in two steps.
Seeing Wu Niang and Eleven Niang, she was slightly stunned, and there was a little hesitation in her expression.
The eldest lady saw it clearly, so she instructed Wu Niang and Eleven Niang: "You go back to the house and rest!" ”
Wu Niang and Eleven Niang left in response.
Mother Hang whispered in the ear of the big * milk: "Dijin seems to be pregnant......
The big * milk's face changed greatly, and she whispered a few words to the big lady.
The eldest lady smiled coldly when she heard this: "I didn't expect that our fourth master still has this ability!" Does he know it himself? ”
Hang's mother said in a low voice: "Dijin said that he didn't know ......"
"Then tell our fourth master!" The big lady's eyes were full of fierceness.
Brother Xu looked scared, so he shouted "grandmother" with some fear.
The eldest lady smiled, touched Brother Xu's head, and calmly said to the eldest grandmother: "Find someone to come!" ”
The big * grandmother looked at her mother-in-law with a shocked face.
Wu Niang came out of the eldest lady's house, hurriedly said to Eleven Niang, "I'll go see the fourth brother", and took Ziwei and Ziyuan to Luo Zhensheng.
Eleven Niang glanced at Amber, and then went back to the house with Holly.
After a while, Amber returned.
There was still shock on her face: "It was said that the Yongping Marquis Mansion sent cherries yesterday, and the eldest lady left a plate for the eldest lord in the ear room, who knew that the eldest lord came back but disappeared." Finally, I searched for a few cherries from the cabinet of Dijin and came out. The eldest lady thought that Dijin had stolen food, and locked the person in the firewood room. ”
Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that Brother Xuan said it himself, otherwise he would have been wronged!" However, where did the cherry come from...... Cherries have just been on the market in the past two days, so they should be very expensive, right? ”
Amber's expression was a little strange: "It was bought by the fourth master!" ”
Eleven Niang wanted to speak and stopped.
She had long heard that Luo Zhensheng was not ordinary to Dijin......
"The eldest lady is very angry." Amber said, "Let the big * milk go to find someone's teeth, and sell the brocade!" ”
Eleven Niang was very surprised, and after thinking about it, she felt that although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.
In the heart of the eldest lady, the gentlemen are not good, I am afraid that they are all affected by those women, and they are all those women who want to climb the high branches shamelessly. Think of the peach branch that was sent back to her parents' house by the big * milk. It's just that after a few words with the old man, he was shouted and beaten and killed. From this, you can get a glimpse of the mentality of the eldest wife.
She couldn't help but sigh.
Holly burst into tears: "An honest and cautious person like Dijin......"
"What's the use of being honest and cautious!" Amber seemed to be very touched, and spoke arrogantly in front of Eleven Niang for the first time, "The fourth master has always been pitiful and cherished jade, and the maids around him can't help but giggle without boundaries." Dijin is a big girl, and sometimes she says a few words, and the fourth master still protects those little hooves...... Who knows what's wrong with this? And last night Dijin was locked up in the firewood room, if the fourth master sincerely maintained Dijin, he would have pleaded with the eldest lady a long time ago, and why did things go through a night, but it has been silent! ”
Eleven Niang was stunned when she heard this.
I didn't expect Amber to say such a thing...... But it makes sense!
Holly shook her head when she heard this: "The fourth master is also a last resort!" He himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult for him to protect himself......"
Amber didn't want to argue with Holly, so she stopped talking.
Holly has said in a low voice: "It's a pity, Dijin is old, and the good people heard that it was sold from our family, but I'm afraid it won't be ......."
The atmosphere in the room was getting sluggish.
Eleven Niang smiled when she saw it: "You don't have to worry too much, the fifth sister has always been able to speak in front of her mother, not to mention that Dijin is not that frivolous, maybe her mother's anger will disappear, and this matter will pass." ”
Before she could finish her words, a miserable cry suddenly came from afar.
Everyone looked stunned, and they faintly felt that it was the voice of Dijin.
But the sound soon stopped abruptly, and silence returned to the surroundings.
I don't know why, everyone's hearts palpitate.
For a moment, the room was as quiet as water.
Looking up again, Holly's face was full of tears.
