Chapter Seventy-Five: A Few People Understand, A Few People Are Confused
Yesterday evening, when Dong Yu listened to Yijing's instructions and made her prepare for today's trip, she could hardly believe her ears.
Spring twilight is older, the most important, and Lu Qingyuan has no housekeeper, so the daily trivialities are inseparable from her to preside over the care, Xia Yun was not reused before, and there is no qualification to accompany her, Wu Niang whenever she goes out, she is surrounded by Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue, and later there is Xia Ke, whenever Wu Niang goes out, the people who accompany her become Xia Ke and Qiu Yue, and even Qiu Shuang has lost this beauty difference.
Dongyu is bent on winning Wu Niang's trust, but no matter how careless she is, Wu Niang usually treats her with a pleasant face, but after all, she can't surpass the four first-class maids, Dong Yu doesn't dare to hope for the beauty of the accompanying country for the time being.
I didn't expect such an opportunity to suddenly fall from the sky!
Dongyu was excited, and he couldn't sleep all night, so he got up early in the morning today, made careful preparations, and planned to seize this opportunity to behave well in front of Wu Niang, so as to establish a more intimate friendship with his master.
Along the way, she paid more attention to Xia Ke.
Naturally, it is not difficult to notice that Xia Ke is worried today.
What's more, Xia Ke's whispers at this time-
"I'll walk away for a while, you stay here and wait, remember not to leave an inch, be careful what Wu Niang needs, and can't find anyone waiting." In his tone, there was no concealment of solemnity and warning.
Dongyu was very annoyed, Xia Ke was just a first-class maid, always a slave, usually in the house, and treated her coldly and coldly, she didn't pay it back, and when she went out, she even gave orders to her! Why can she walk away for a while, and she will not leave an inch? Wait a minute...... Xia Ke has been absent-minded today, and now he is so mysterious and secretive, why? Could it be ...... Is it to do something bad that is not visible?
Seeing that Xia Ke glanced at Wu Niang defensively, and turned away, Dong Yu's doubts became more and more flattering, staring at Xia Ke's back without turning his eyes.
Xia Ke took a few steps, Fang returned his eyes, and gave Dong Yu a warning look.
When he wanted to go around the nunnery to the backyard, he was naturally stopped by his sister-in-law.
"Donor, where are you going?" The sister-in-law smiled and blocked Xia Ke's way.
"The nun is doing well, can you tell me, where is the thatched house of the nunnery?" Xia Ke whispered with her lips, in fact, according to Du Yuniang's picture, she knew that the thatched house in the nunnery was in the backyard.
"This ......" that sister-in-law only knows that the lady of the Zhen family is "worshipping the Buddha" in the west courtyard, and she can't be disturbed, but she doesn't know what the identity of the man accompanying the "Buddha" is...... Besides, people have three urgencies, and if they don't let people "alleviate", isn't it too strange.
"I'm also bothering the nun for some advice." Xia Ke's face was full of anxiety, turned slightly sideways, and stuffed a piece of broken silver into the girl's hand.
Sure enough, it was the maid with a good face next to the nobleman, but she was going to the thatched house, and she was so generous! The sister-in-law was holding the silver in her hand, and her mind was alive, thinking that although the lady of the Zhen family was in the west courtyard, she must be closed by the latch, and she was not afraid of others breaking it, so she immediately pointed out diligently, and she had to lead the way in person.
Xia Ke naturally refused: "Don't dare to bother the nun, I'll go by myself." ”
The sister-in-law thought about it, if she left her post without permission, she was afraid that the owner of the nunnery would find out and be a reproach, so she didn't insist, but she still reminded: "The donor Zhen is also in the backyard, don't disturb her tranquility, go back quickly." ”
Xia Ke nodded again and again, also thanked him, and hurriedly bypassed the nunnery, and sure enough, it looked like "three urgency".
Xia Ke's behavior naturally fell in the eyes of Dong Yu, and he became more and more sure that Xia Ke was going to do "bad things", how could he miss such a good opportunity? Dongyu glanced into the teahouse, and saw that Yijing was talking with the nun, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, so he quietly took a few steps back, and also stuffed the sister-in-law with a piece of broken silver, and followed Xia Ke's pace, bypassing the nunnery.
The sister-in-law made a "small fortune", and she was in full bloom, and she never had any suspicions.
Dongyu tiptoed and saw Xia Ke sneakily going to the backyard, suddenly turned around, and was so frightened that he quickly retracted his body.
Hum! What do you say about urgency, why do you use such a sneaky touch to go to a thatched house? Dong Yu was disdainful in his heart, and after a while, he leaned out, but Xia Ke was no longer visible.
Hurriedly walked a few steps, looked around, saw a row of fine houses in the middle, the door of the house was closed, it seemed to be the wing room where the nuns lived in the nunnery, the east corner was a few low bamboo houses, I thought it was a thatched house, a full moon arch on the west side, but there was no door......
On the side of the full moon arch, there seems to be something.
Dongyu took a closer look and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was the sachet that Xia Ke was wearing today!
While picking it up in his hand, he looked into the Gongyue Gate Cave, and saw that in the small courtyard, the fine house was still closed, and there was a crape myrtle tree, which was in full bloom.
Still nowhere to be seen.
Dongyu became more and more puzzled, raised his feet and stepped into the Gongyue Gate, and actually approached the Jingshe.
She had only taken a few steps, only to feel a sudden chill behind her, and when she looked back, she saw a cold light on her neck.
Dongyu's eyes widened, and he looked at the two fierce men in black and a long sword around his neck in a daze, and subconsciously, he wanted to scream, but he was covered by another man in time.
The two men in black are, of course, the prince's secret guards.
Dongyu was frightened and frightened, only to feel that his knees were weak, and his mind was a mess.
The men in black looked at each other for a moment, and the killing intent swept by.
Winter rain's fate hangs by a thread!
But at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate-
"Murder! There are assassins! ”
The secret guards were startled, and when they turned around, they saw that a maid in green clothes had already screamed and ran towards the nunnery.
The well-trained secret guard immediately realized that there were still others in the nunnery, and even if he killed the maid in front of him, it would be useless.
The incident happened suddenly, one person was still holding the winter rain hostage, and the other person rushed forward and knocked on the closed door twice, reminding the prince that things had changed.
And a whistle whistled outside the wall, and five or six secret guards flew in.
At the same time, Xia Ke had already rushed to the main courtyard nunnery, of course, screaming non-stop.
The little ladies looked at each other and didn't react for a while, and Yunqing, who was already nervous, was so frightened that he knocked over the teacup and made a "bang".
The guards in the courtyard immediately entered a state of readiness, the long swords on their waists came out, and under the leadership of Yu Zhou and Su Xun, they rushed to the backyard.
Xia Ke stumbled into the teahouse and fell under Yijing's knees: "Wu Niang, help, there are villains in the backyard, you want to kill Dongyu!" ”
The little ladies were all shocked, and they couldn't care about Yunqing anymore, they went to the backyard one after another, and the maids and women were panicked, and they all followed, and the girls were so frightened that they were out of their bodies and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
In the courtyard on the west side, the guards of the two mansions have already fought with the prince's secret guard.
Most of the secret guards knew Su Xun and Yu Zhou, and they didn't dare to be ruthless, they were so anxious that they were sweating, and naturally fell into the wind, and Dongyu had already gotten out of trouble, huddled in a corner of the courtyard, full of tears, trembling, a sword mark on the neck, oozing blood stained on the placket, shocking.
The fierce An Hui girl was about to join the battle with a shake of the whip in her hand, but Yi Jing hurriedly grabbed her and shouted to Yu Zhou: "Sister Zhen can worship Buddha in the backyard, these gangsters...... I don't know if the Zhen family's sister is okay? ”
Only then did the people notice the closed ashram.
Su Xun and Yu Zhou stepped forward with swords, but they couldn't open the door of the house, and in a hurry, they raised their feet and kicked them.
The prince's secret guard was in a hurry, but the guards of the two mansions were so numerous that they couldn't get out.
And at this time, Yun Qing, who had finally come back to his senses, staggered to arrive, pushed aside the crowd, and didn't care about the sword and sword, threw himself into the courtyard on the west side, and shouted: "Stop, stop!" ”
Yi Jing sneered: "Nun, why are there villains hidden in your nunnery?" No wonder we were blocked from entering at first, you said, what happened to your sister Zhen? ”
Yun Qing was shocked, but he couldn't speak, and fell to the ground, his brand-new monk's robe covered with gray and yellow soil.
An Hui was a little surprised, her eyes lit up, and she saw that Yu Zhou and Su Jing had already kicked the door open, and they actually rushed forward, and followed into the house-
Yijing is still standing outside the courtyard, so he can watch from the sidelines.
Erniang was frightened, and under the protection of the servants, she watched outside the courtyard on the west side.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, the prince's secret guard took the lead in stopping, glaring at him and panting: "Don't stop yet!" We're not bad people! ”
These words naturally made Erniang and the others suspicious.
Siniang looked at the fine house that had been demolished suspiciously.
The first to come out was An Hui, although her face was flushed, her expression was very happy.
Yijing also ordered her mother-in-law and maid at this time: "A misunderstanding, you all broke up." He only instructed Xia Ke: "Help the winter rain out." ”
The servants were full of doubts, but they did not dare to watch here, exchanged glances with each other, and walked out of the backyard step by step.
Su Xun and Yu Zhou also came out after him, both of them were very embarrassed, and looked around: "It's all gone, a misunderstanding." There was no other explanation.
Everyone went back to the front yard, and they were all speechless.
Only An Hui smiled and stole joy on the side.
How would you describe the scene in that ashram? When they entered with whips and swords, they saw that the prince was wearing loose hair and was busy tying a jade belt around his waist, and Zhen Mo ...... is also draped with loose hair, full of panic, and disheveled clothes.
That's really ......
An Hui thought of Zhen Mo's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but hold her waist and smile.
Erniang and Sanniang looked at her suspiciously.
After a while, the well-dressed Zhen Mo appeared in front of everyone, followed by Master Yun Qing, who looked very wonderful.
Yijing raised her eyes to look at Zhen Mo, and seeing that her behavior was still natural, she couldn't help but admire her deeply, but asked with concern: "Is my sister okay?" ”
An Hui smiled before she moved her mouth, but was pulled hard by Yu Zhou beside her, and she gritted her teeth unwillingly and was silent.
Sanniang looked at Zhen Mo and then at An Hui, as if she had thought of something, and her expression was very subtle.
Zhen Mo took a deep breath: "It was a misunderstanding...... Because I worship the Buddha at the Water Lotus Nunnery, I don't want people to disturb me, so I let the guards in the palace secretly protect you, and I don't want them to surprise you......"
"Yo, this misunderstanding is a big problem, if it weren't for Xia Ke's alertness, Dongyu would have almost died under the sword of the guards of your mansion, look at that girl, she hasn't come back to her senses yet." Sanniang ridiculed.
Everyone's eyes fell on Dong Yu, who was still sobbing at this time, and became more and more puzzled, even if Dong Yu strayed into the place where the Zhen family's lady worshiped the Buddha, it didn't reach the point where he was going to kill someone without saying a word, and then he ...... The lady of the Zhen family worships the Buddha behind closed doors, is she so pious that she has heard that there is already chaos outside, and she still doesn't come forward? It wasn't until the door was torn down and it took a long time before he came out to apologize?
How strange you think.
Zhen Mo's face was very ugly, and he only raised his eyes to look at Su Xun: "Shizi, what is going on today......
Su Xun immediately avoided his eyes and waved his hands: "But there is a misunderstanding, the Weiguo Mansion will not be publicized, please rest assured, little lady." ”
Zhen Mo's face turned white.
Su Xun only said that the Weiguo Mansion would not publicize it, and the implication was that it would not hide it from the elders.
Yijing raised her eyebrows, she really admired Zhen Mo's cheekiness, things have come to this point, is she still looking forward to marrying into Su Mansion as a wife? But seeing that Zhen Mo glanced at Su Xun very resentfully, he blessed his body: "There is a hidden secret, and I will explain it in detail to the prince another day." ”
The scenery was completely breathtaking.
Su Xun was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Zhen Mo lightly: "Originally, it was just a trivial matter, and the little lady didn't need to take it to heart." ”
Zhen Mo frowned, still unwilling.
Su Xun had already turned around and said to Yu Zhou: "This kind of turmoil has really lost interest, and your sisters are also frightened, so it's better to go back early." ”
Yu Zhou was very depressed in his heart, but he also knew that it was really not suitable to stay here for a long time, and he also waved at Zhen Mo: "Please rest assured, little lady, the Chu Wangfu will not publicize this matter." ”
The look on Zhen Mo's face suddenly became more exciting.
She never thought that there would be such a turmoil today, she was in the same room with the prince in disheveled clothes, and she was broken by Su Xun in front of her! Fortunately, they were afraid of the prince, so they didn't make trouble, but in this way, how could she fight for her good fate? What's even worse is that if the marriage with the Weiguo Mansion fails, how to explain to the eldest sister and mother, you must know that the eldest sister is bound to win this marriage!
She is now forced into a dilemma, and her only hope is to find a way to make Su Xun understand that this is just a misunderstanding......
To convince him to hide from the elders of the Patriotic Mansion.
But Su Xun's attitude clearly avoided her......
Even if she returns to the mansion and says that she is unwilling to marry the Weiguo Mansion, the eldest sister will not give up, not to mention the queen......
How should it end, for the first time in Zhen Mo's life, she was terrified.
When he saw the people of the Weiguo Mansion and the Chu Wangfu go away, Zhen Mo could no longer force his composure, turned around and slapped Yun Qing in the face: "What are you going to do!" ”
When I went to the west courtyard again, I found that the prince had left through the back door, and the ambiguous atmosphere of a happy scene in the house had not yet dissipated, but she was the only one left......
Zhen Mo couldn't hold back any longer, and collapsed to the ground crying bitterly.
After a long time, a black-clothed secret guard approached awkwardly and said to Zhen Mo: "Your Highness said that you will never come here again in the future...... Siniang, His Royal Highness has an order, and the crown princess must not know about this matter...... As for your marriage, Your Highness will plan so that you will not be embarrassed by Siniang......"
After speaking, the secret guard came out in a panic in Zhen Mo's crying, crossed the wall, and never looked back.
——
The little ladies who returned to the Weiguo Mansion were frightened early, and then recalled the things in the Water Lotus Nunnery, they all felt very strange, Siniang was not an eventful person, thought for a while, thought about the attitude of the eldest brother, and knew that this matter seemed to be important, so he warned the maid who accompanied him today, not to talk about publicity, not long, sure enough, Linglong came to tell again, Siniang was more determined.
Erniang got the advice, and on the surface she agreed, but she turned her head and told Li Shi about it, and the mother and daughter thought about it, and Li suddenly realized: "Isn't it that Dongyu that girl is greedy and wants to steal Zhen Siniang's property, and it only by sneaking up did she arouse the suspicion of the guards of Zhen Mansion, thinking that she was an assassin?" ”
"Then why didn't Zhen Siniang come forward in time to stop it?" Erniang was very puzzled: "Besides, Dongyu is the granddaughter of Mama Song, where is the person who is greedy for a small bargain." ”
Ritchie wrinkled her eyebrows and thought for a while: "Maybe Zhen Siniang fell asleep in the house and didn't hear the noise outside." What about Mama Song's granddaughter, she is not a slave maid, and there are a few slaves and maids who are not greedy...... In short, this matter has nothing to do with our second room, since Mrs. Tai doesn't let it be publicized, don't publicize it, I didn't offend the Zhen Mansion and ruined your good marriage. ”
The mother and daughter, who had no clue, reached an agreement on this.
And Sanniang thought that it was Zhen Mo's private meeting with a foreign man, so she was broken, otherwise An Hui would not have that expression, but she couldn't think of who the person who had a private meeting with Zhen Mo was, but on her side, it was Wei Guogong who personally came to instruct - only today's incident has not happened, Sanniang naturally did not dare to disobey her father's order, although she has been puzzled, she also instructed the maids not to discuss it in private.
Luqing Garden is very lively.
After experiencing the catastrophe of life and death, the winter rain was bandaged and treated by the invited doctor, and slowly came back to her senses, although she didn't know why she almost lost her life in the iron sword, and why it became a misunderstanding later, but she only understood one thing, she fell for Xia Ke's calculation! So, in a fit of rage, he knelt down in front of Yijing and cried bitterly, accusing Xia Ke of deliberately bringing her into a trap and killing her!
Yi Jing was very puzzled, but for the sake of fairness, he still called Xia Ke to ask.
Xia Ke was even more puzzled: "The slave doesn't know what's going on, but it's ...... for a while wanted to go to the toilet, for fear of walking away for a while, Wu Niang asked someone to wait for someone and couldn't find the slave maid, and specially explained the winter rain, so that she couldn't leave an inch...... When the slave and maid came out, because the sachet was missing, they looked around, and suddenly saw Dongyu being held hostage by two gangsters with swords, and was so frightened that his soul was scattered, so he screamed and ran out...... Dongyu said that the slave maid wanted to kill her, and she was very wronged, where did the slave and maid think that there would be guards from the Zhen Mansion in the courtyard, and they were so fierce......
Dongyu was dumbfounded, and only felt that what Xia Ke said was not leaking, and he really couldn't find any flaws.
"It's just a misunderstanding, Dong Yu thought it was shocked, so he misunderstood Xia Ke, okay, you two are maids by my side, you don't see you when you look up, don't hurt your peace for this...... Besides, my grandmother also learned about today's incident, the guards of the Zhen Mansion are so fierce, if it spreads, it will be bad for the reputation of the Zhen family's sister, and my grandmother also asked you to stop talking about it. Yi Jing Chong Xia Ke exchanged a knowing look, and comforted Dong Yu with a smile: "Dong Yu is frightened, it is better to rest for a few days." ”
In the end, Dongyu could only suffer this dumb loss, but his resentment against Xia Ke added another weight.
When she wiped away from her tears......
Yijing clutched her stomach and silently lay down on the beauty couch and convulsed.
She knew that according to Dong Yu's temperament and competitive style, she would inevitably have doubts about Xia Ke's sneaky behavior, and when she stepped forward to take a look, of course the prince's secret guard would not let her approach the fine house, if it weren't for the fact that there was another Xia Ke outside shouting and running to report the news, Dong Yu was only afraid that he would become a ghost under the sword, and he would disappear in the Water Lotus Nunnery.
Today's events are really smooth, but with the presence of the eldest brother, it is not necessary for him to follow An Hui's steps to "care" about Zhen Mo and witness that embarrassment.
I don't know what An Hui witnessed when she entered, so she smiled so amorous...... Thinking about it, Yijing couldn't even straighten his waist.
Xia Ke hurriedly stepped forward, stroked Yijing's back, and his shoulders twitched with laughter: "Wu Niang has to be careful, don't laugh out of breath." ”
"Aren't you curious about what happened today?" Yijing easily stopped laughing, and admired Xia Ke's calmness.
"Anyway, someone is unlucky, and as for what happened, the slave didn't think about it." Xia Ke replied very well-behaved.
It's really a good girl who has to be used, Yijing was in a good mood, and she really wanted to share this good thing with others, so she said to Xia Ke: "Give a word to Sanshun, let him go to see Du Yuniang, just say I want to see her, let Du Yuniang set the time and place, and tell Sanshun." ”
