.. In the final analysis, this time it was just that she avenged her personal vendetta while helping Huanhua avoid Mrs. Song, and it was not a feat, nor was it worthy of her praise.

But for a person like Huanhua who is too simple, she doesn't have to say it too thoroughly.

At this time, the sunlight is getting slanting, and it is estimated that the guests in the front yard are almost gone, and if they stay, they are afraid that they will run into Guo Yao, so they have to go first. Holding hands with Huanhua to the gate of the courtyard, she suddenly stopped again, Yue Gui took the cloth towel soaked in spirits to make Yan Hua drunk, and poured a small cup, but she didn't drink too much, what if the wine was too strong and she woke up, but Guo Yao hadn't come back yet?

She looked back at the study and asked Huanhua, "Where is the pen and paper?" ”

Huanhua didn't know what she was going to do, but she still pointed to the second room in the east and said, "That's my husband's bedroom, and she also writes in the room on weekdays." ”

Liuli let go of her hand, quickly broke into Guo Yao's bedroom, picked up the paper and pen on the table and wrote the lines in small letters, and then put the places that had been moved back to their original positions, folded the paper into her arms, quickly exited the door, and quickly walked out of the courtyard with Huanhua.

Back in Haitang Courtyard, she first found out where Guo Yao went, and then summoned a little maid with a bright eye, and asked her first: "Do you know me?" The little maid looked at her for a long time, shook her head and said, "I don't know." Liuli handed her the note: "You go to the front hall and find the woman in yellow who is talking to the fourth girl, and give this to her." Come back to me for a reward. ”

The little maid looked at the dozen or so copper plates in her hand, nodded and took the note. Huanhua watched the little maid hand the note to Guo Yao behind the door, and asked suspiciously: "What did you write on it?" ”

After Guo Yao finished talking with Shuhua, she was about to go back to the room, when a little maid from nowhere suddenly stuffed a note in her hand. She opened it and saw a few words written on it in small block letters: Mr. 's study will suffer a great disaster. Immediately he changed color, and he was about to go back to the courtyard. After taking two steps, I remembered something, opened the note and looked at the block letters for a while, my eyes changed, and then I stuffed the note into my sleeve again and walked quickly.

Liuli turned around and nodded to Huanhua, followed her all the way to the outside of the Wutong Courtyard, and heard a burst of angry cheers from the courtyard, so he looked at each other and smiled, and turned back with confidence.

The two disappeared around the corner, Biyun came out of the hall from the other side, glanced at the backs of the two of them, paused, and entered the Wutong Courtyard with two boxes of snacks. When I entered the courtyard, I heard Guo Yao's angry voice endlessly, and then there seemed to be Yan Hua's usual screaming and crying voice, and I couldn't help but be shocked, and saw the maid Mo standing under the porch looking into the house, and immediately beckoned her over: "What's wrong?" ”

Shi Mo sighed: "Alas, the fifth girl is really getting more and more noisy, I just got drunk from nowhere, and I actually ran to the gentleman's study to sleep a lot, and now not only stained the books on the case, but also made the room smell of alcohol." Mr. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" is furious. ”

Biyun was stunned: "The fifth girl is drunk? "Thinking that Yanhua didn't appear at the banquet today, how could he have come to drink the wine for her? Thinking of the appearance of the two leaving, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips suddenly raised.

Shi Mo said: "What is my sister doing here?" ”

Biyun came back to her senses, "Oh, the second lady said that the fourth girl has won the praise of many ladies today, and this is all due to the teacher's teaching, so I also went to the old lady's house to talk about it, and it happened that the big kitchen gave the old lady a newly made lotus incense roll, and the old lady asked me to send two plates to my husband to taste." ”

Shi Mo took it, "Thank you so much, old lady." ”

Biyun nodded in response, but didn't even go into the house to greet Guo Yao, and went back to the main courtyard.

When he arrived at the porch, he stood and came back to his senses, looking at the direction of Anxi Hall, his face changed several times, and suddenly he seemed to have made up his mind, and entered the room with a hint of inexplicable smile.

Liang has not left because his mother's family has come, so he has not come to Anxi Hall for dinner. During the day, the Qi clan did not come to the main courtyard because they were dragged by Huanhua to avoid Mrs. Song, so they came early for dinner, and entered the door at the same time as the Yu clan under the door, but they were ahead of the Nie clan.

As soon as Yu entered the door, he asked, "Is the old lady feeling better?" The old lady smiled: "There are many people in the day, and there are some people who can't deal with it, so I just lay down for a while, and it's much better." He looked at Qi again: "I heard that you are also conditioning your body for a while, but where is it not good?" ”

Qi Shi hurriedly said: "Mrs. Xie is worried about her daughter-in-law, but she has some small problems with backache recently, and the doctor told her to recuperate." Afraid that the old lady would ask again, he got up and went to the side to pour tea for the old lady. It happened that Shuhua came in, and she talked to her: "Why are you here, why don't you go to accompany your aunt?" ”

Shuhua smiled: "It's just that my aunt is accompanied by my mother." The old lady here was supposed to have her mother come to serve dinner, but she couldn't come, so I came for her. ”

Yu Shi smiled and said: "These four girls are really sensible!" ”

Biyun came up to pour tea for Shuhua, and said with a smile: "There is more than one sensible girl in our house!" While looking at Qi's family, the smile deepened slightly. Qi Shi saw something unusual, and when she got out of the threshold, she also walked out under the pretext of washing her hands.

When I got to the side yard and washed my hands, I saw Biyun splashing water in front of the house, so I walked over and said, "What are you doing?" Biyun hurriedly put down the basin and said with a smile: "It's dry these days, it doesn't rain, and there is dust in the yard, so I'm pouring water on the ground." Qi Shi listened, and suddenly said, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”

Biyun paused, and said with a smile: "It's almost time to eat, the fourth lady hasn't come today, doesn't the lady think it's strange?" ”

Qi said lightly: "If something is delayed, what's the surprise?" ”

Biyun said: "Madame's words are the same, but at today's luncheon, the five girls did not attend the banquet, and many people asked." Yes, it seems that the third lady also came to eat in a hurry, and then went back to the third room? ”

Qi Shi thought for a while and said, "I went back because I made an appointment with Lang Zhong, but Yan Yatou never came, why?" ”

Biyun smiled, "Let me ask Madame first, does Madame have any intention of marrying the eighth girl to the Song Mansion?" ”

The marriage of this child is not a shame, and the Qi family wants to know the following, and there is nothing to avoid, so he said: "So what? ”

Biyun said, "I'll tell Madame something, and Madame will understand." The young master of Lord Song's family is now at the age of marriage, some time ago, the fourth lady entrusted someone to marry the fifth girl and the young master Song, Mrs. Song has not been in contact with the house for many years, and now she has come to congratulate the full moon, which has a deep meaning. But according to the temperament of the fifth girl, if she really saw it, she was afraid that good things would turn out to be ruined, so the fourth lady let her stay in the house and not come out. How can the five girls stay? I can come up with ideas. At this time, if you can get drunk and make her fall asleep or something, it is naturally the best way.

"But to promote the marriage between the fifth girl and the Song family, it is not enough to get drunk with her, because there is also a third lady of you. It stands to reason that under the training of the third lady, regardless of temperament and appearance, the eight girls are several times higher than the five girls, this time it was the blessing of the eight girls, but it was a preferable person to step in, if the third lady met with Mrs. Song, she would have to pull a sentence or two on this. Some people are afraid that something bad will happen to you and Mrs. Song, so they even hold you back, so that Mrs. Song can maintain her good impression of the five girls to the end. ”

After listening to this, Qi Shi said for a long time: "You mean that this matter was manipulated by someone?" ”

Biyun said with a smile: "Madame is in the bureau, so she naturally can't see the overall situation. But isn't that obvious? In order to promote the marriage of the five girls, some people desperately cut off the opportunity for you to meet Mrs. Song, and when Mrs. Song returned after visiting the house, she felt that the house was so decent, and the five girls were also dignified and decent, and this matter was mostly settled. ”

Qi Shi immediately showed a cold light: "The person you are talking about is undoubtedly the fourth lady." ”

"Nope." Biyun shook his head and said, "Madam, I'm afraid I guessed wrong this time." When I went to Wutong Courtyard to deliver snacks, I heard the noise in the courtyard, and when I went in to take a look, I realized that it was the five girls who were drunk and ran to Mr. Guo's study to sleep, and Mr. Guo was angry. I thought, the five girls didn't even come out for lunch today, so where did they get the wine to drink? Even if the fourth lady wants to prevent her from coming out to make trouble, she will never send her to Wutong Courtyard. When I thought about it later, I understood. When I entered the Wutong Courtyard, I saw two people lying outside the door watching the movement in the courtyard. ”

Qi immediately said, "Which two?" ”

"Eight girls and nine girls." Biyun smiled.

Qi Shi gasped, and said for a long time: "You mean Huan'er?" Huan'er, she secretly arranged the marriage between Yan Yatou and Song Mansion?! ”

"Madame doesn't have to be angry, and it may not be the idea of the eighth girl." Biyun said: "The eighth girl has always been innocent and simple, and she is the easiest to be taken advantage of. But if a man said something in front of her, she would believe it. ”

Qi Shi heard the meaning of her words, and frowned: "You mean that this matter was instructed by the Nine Girls?" This is impossible, what reason does she have to break up Huan'er and Song Mansion, but to match Yan Yatou? ”

Biyun smiled and said, "Maybe it's not for matchmaking, but for other purposes?" For the third lady, it doesn't matter what she wants to do, what matters is that she ruined the eighth girl's lifelong happiness, isn't it? Lord Song is now appointed as the governor, and outsiders say that Yu Youcheng is now very old, and he is not sure when he will be old, but Lord Song is very likely to succeed him as prime minister, if the eight girls marry into the Song Mansion, isn't this bright future in the coming days? ”

Qi's face was solemn, his eyes were full of cold light, and it took a long time to close his eyes and exhale.

"You said what you saw with your own eyes, is it true?"

Biyun said: "If Madam doesn't believe it, you can ask the eighth girl where the ninth girl went after dinner." ”

Qi turned around and looked her up and down: "You have a grudge against the nine girls?" ”

Biyun smiled and bowed: "Madame's words are serious, the slave maid is just a subordinate, how dare she make enemies with the girl?" I really feel sorry that the eighth girl was deceived by others, and she is not worth it. ”

Qi glanced at her, snorted, and turned to leave.

Biyun watched her go out the door, bent down and picked up the copper basin,
