Chapter 22 Giving and Receiving Privately, Setting Yourself on Fire

Song's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "She's not a peach branch? The first peach branch is what you shouted, since you know that she is not a peach branch, then what do you recognize! ”

Dong Qianmo said aggrievedly: "This firewood room is the closest to Fengyuzhai, as soon as I heard that the water has gone, my first thought is that those naughty girls in my room don't have an accident." Thinking wildly, eyelids jumping, and admitting mistakes without being vigilant. That maid is really a bit like Peach Branch, and besides, I don't know Peach Branch well. ”

"Forget it," the old lady said with a sigh of relief, "a face is smoky, admit your mistakes, admit your mistakes, and Mama Wang, who is in charge of the maids, is also wrong." ”

Song still asked without stopping: "If she is not a peach branch, where did the injuries on her body come from?" ”

Dong Qianmo hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I don't know this maid, but there is no injury on the body of the real peach branch, I have never beaten her, my mother just asks her." ”

Everyone looked along, and a round-faced maid with a double bun walked out from behind, and she was not surprised to see this battle, and her dark eyes turned in the direction of Yu Wentan, she was bold.

This is the rough maid of the wind and rain fast, the peach branch.

"Let me ask you," Song asked hintly, "Did you talk about His Royal Highness King Yu two days ago, did Qian Mo beat you for this?" ”

Taozhi puffed his cheeks, shook his head and said, "No, the fourth lady has never beaten a slave." ”

Song smiled: "Could this be what Qianmo taught you, look at your face is still red and swollen, it wasn't her who beat it, could it be that you beat it yourself?" ”

"It was the slave who beat it herself."

"That's her telling you to beat yourself?"

"No, it's not," Momozhi stammered a little this time, "it's the slave's own idea." ”

Song felt that he had caught the tracks, "Your own idea?" You're not hiding for anyone, are you? ”

Momozhi blushed and only shook her head, "Fourth Miss won't let me say it." ”

"Speak quickly!"

"The slave doesn't dare, Madame spares her life, spares her life!"

Song squinted and smiled: "As long as you tell the truth, I will spare you, otherwise you will not be able to stay in our house anymore." ”

At this time, Dong Qianmo was a little panicked, waved his hand to the Song family and said, "Mother, don't let this girl talk nonsense, there are still guests at home at this time." It's better for me and the second sister to help the old ancestor go back to rest first, and don't mention the rest. ”

Song raised his eyebrows unhappily: "Don't mention it? Why not mention it? Peach Branch, say it quickly, if you dare not make it clear, this fire is what you put it! ”

Taozhi closed her eyes and said, "The slave and maid should die, the day before yesterday, Princess Yu came to see the fourth lady, and the slave and maid's mouth was not beaten, and she said something that should not be said to anger Princess Yu." The princess punished the slave and maid for slapping herself, and when the fourth lady heard about it, she sternly told me not to meet anyone for the next few days, and not to mention this matter from now on. ”

"Oh? Why is that? "Song is strange, somehow he also got involved with Wei Qi's painting.

The fourth lady said that the princess was too angry for a while, forgetting that this was not the palace but the Dong mansion, and taught the maids of the Dong mansion a lesson. Once it reaches the old lady, they are not easy to deal with. blame the princess, for fear of hurting her relatives and anger; Don't blame the princess, her sentence 'just a group of palace minions' has insulted again...... The reputation of the lord. ”

There was a moment of silence, and everyone present was a little embarrassed.

Yu Wentan's eyes were like blades, if they could hurt people, the peach branches would become crumbs.

The old lady looked at Dong Qianmo and sighed: "It's hard for the four girls to think about it thoroughly, and you don't say it even if you endure the grievances, since it's Xiao Tan's daughter-in-law's business, then forget it." My legs are so tired, let's rest them. ”

"Wait," Song was still picky, "Taozhi hasn't explained it yet, why did she offend the princess?" ”

"It's because of me, because I neglected the princess." Dong Qianmo hurriedly said.

"Momozhi, you say!" Song's horizontal eyebrows.

"It was because the princess heard the slave and maid talking, and she saw it in the garden ten days ago...... The second lady gave a mandarin duck fan cover to His Royal Highness King Yu, and also read a poem about the high mountains. ”

Taozhi continued, but at this moment, Song changed color and wanted to quickly seal her mouth.

The slave also heard that the princess said that she wanted to live with the fourth lady for a long time, but the fourth lady sternly rejected the princess's good intentions, saying that if the Dong family could really produce a concubine of King Yu, it would never be her, and she only listened to the arrangements of the elders for lifelong events, and could not be taught privately. Miss said that she learned female virtue at the age of three and the Book of Poetry at the age of seven, and the Book of Poetry was ranked behind the female virtue, and she was not worthy of being the daughter of the Dong family if she was confused by poetry. ”

Without a trace, Dong Qianmo glanced at Yu Wentan, ten days ago was the third day of Wei Moqin's death, and he was already under the moon before spending time with Dong Xuanying.

The nails sink into the palms and pinch painfully.

Don't blame others for forgetting too quickly, it's you who remember too deeply.

"The mountains look up, and the scenery stops. Although I can't reach it, my heart yearns for it. "Although Yu Wenzao doesn't like to read, he hasn't forgotten the poetry of enlightenment, but it's not the right time to read it.

Yu Wentan's face is black, Dong Xuanying's face is whiter than Chu Xue, although her face is colorless, Chu Chu's beautiful demeanor is touching.

"Smack!"

Song slapped the peach branch down, panting in anger: "Cheap maid,,!" ”

Momozhi fell on the stone platform and knocked down the injured maid who had been mistaken for her.

The injured maid woke up slowly, and suddenly saw Dong Xuanying's face at a glance, and was so frightened that she immediately hugged her head and said to forgive: "Miss, don't fight, the slave doesn't dare, the slave knows it's wrong!" ”

"Oops, you look like vanilla, don't you?" Dong Xianpei suddenly recognized, "You are the person in the second sister's room." ”

Dong Xuanying's face changed color, and she said angrily: "I didn't teach my cousin privately, and I didn't mess up my ethics!" Momozhi is framing me, someone must have taught her to say those words! ”

Dong Qianmo hurriedly said: "Second sister is angry, I will beat her hard when I go back, so that she will never dare to slander her master again!" ”

Dong Xianpei covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, but she couldn't hide her sneer, "The second sister said that Taozhi's words are false, but vanilla is your personal maid, but she begged you not to beat her." Just now, everyone suspected that the fourth sister was abusing someone, and her mother was going to send her to Caigen'an, now ......"

"I'm wronged," Dong Xuanying's beautiful eyes condensed tears, "I haven't done anything, I beg my ancestors and mother to make decisions for me and return my innocence!" ”

The old lady snorted angrily and said, "Taozhi deliberately framed you? Are you wronged? Your sister is really wronged, she can't even recognize the face of the peach branch, so it can be seen that she is not familiar with each other. Your mother also cut off her forehead hair with a pair of scissors, poor Qianmo, she suffered a loss in her heart. ”

At this time, the Song family looked at Yu Wentan for help, and looked at him, "The villain is in charge, Your Highness, tell me a fair word, has my daughter ever given you a mandarin duck fan cover?" Can you take it out for everyone to see? ”

Yu Wentan was not angry and arrogant, and said coldly: "I have had a lot of things like fan sachets, and I stacked them up in a small half box." I can't remember who got it from, maybe there are two cousins, maybe several cousins have given it. As for whether there are mandarin ducks embroidered on it, the box will be brought to my grandmother and aunt for inspection another day. ”

Song was disappointed when he heard this, and Yuwen Tan actually meant that the two did not help each other.

He could have said "no" and sold them a favor, no matter what others thought, at least he could have solved the siege for the time being. Now that he doesn't help with such a small favor, is he really ruthless to Xuanying?

But the old lady was discouraged.

Listening to Yu Wentan's tone, he really only treats a few cousins of his uncle's family as ordinary sisters, and he has not paid special attention to anyone, and he will not have a personal relationship with anyone.

Yu Wentan's impartial attitude just gave the old lady a reassuring pill, which was more effective than him opening his mouth to help Dong Xuanying intercede.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've been making trouble for a long time, I'm tired, so I won't mess with you." Lai Qianmo for a while, Lai Xuanying for a while, all of them are false words, and no one is allowed to mention them in the future. However, Xuanying should not beat the slave maid, so let her mother punish her well. ”

This is obviously about to turn a big thing into a small matter, and Dong Xianpei is very unconvinced. It was the first time in this family that she saw her second sister so embarrassed, and while she was happy, she also fell into the well, but she didn't hit the second sister at all, which was too partial.

Yu Wentan said in a deep voice: "I'll send my grandmother back." ”

He helped the old lady leave, but the thick-skinned Yu Wenzao didn't want to leave yet, so he went up to find Dong Qianmo and said with a smile: "You Nizifu has a big life, it's okay, I thought I was going to Caigen Nunnery to listen to you play the piano in the future." ”

Dong Qianmo smiled: "I didn't expect that the king of Zaojun is also a gentleman who loves to listen to the piano, but unfortunately my hands can't play anymore." Fortunately, the second sister's piano skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and the next time the county king wants to listen to the piano, he will bother her. ”

Yuwenzao snorted awkwardly.

At this time, the doctor finally came too late. He diagnosed Vanilla as having ingested a poisonous mushroom and became insane, leading to self-harm, arson, and madness.

Yu Wenzao was stunned and said, "What poisonous mushroom is so powerful?" Can you give me some, refine the toxins to deal with the Northern Qi army, and let them set fire to their own camp, then my Western Wei army will be invincible. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, apparently taking the doctor's words seriously.

The doctor and the Song family both turned their heads and pretended not to hear.

Dong Qianmo said: "Don't touch such a dangerous mushroom, let the military doctor worry about the poison production." ”

Song cleared his throat and said, "Although it proves that Xuanying is innocent, everyone wronged Qianmo first, and I also cut Qianmo a little bit of Liuhai by mistake." As a sign of self-punishment, I also cut a bunch of hair. As he spoke, he went down with a pair of scissors and cut off a bundle of hair the thickness of his little finger.

Dong Qianmo said in a panic: "What is my mother doing, how can my mother be like this?" ”

Song said again: "That's not all, Xianpei was reasonable before, and your mother almost sent you to the nunnery to suffer." I only blame me for listening to and believing, and let the villain take advantage of the loophole, even if the old lady and the old man don't blame me, I have to go to Caigen Nunnery to eat fasting and chant Buddha to redeem myself. ”

Dong Xuanying opened her eyes in surprise: "How long will my mother go?" How can there be no you in this house? ”

"It's as short as three or five days, or as long as three or five years, and let the Bodhisattva tell me the answer." Song closed his eyes reverently.

"No, mother, how can you go to live that kind of hard life," Dong Xuanying said impulsively, "If you have to go there, your daughter will accompany you!" ”

"Good boy, my mother knows that you are filial, so you and your mother will go to recite the Heart Sutra of Master Lotus for a while." The Song family has always loved Dong Xuanying the most, and they were reluctant to let her suffer a little, but they agreed to let her go to the nunnery to eat fast and pray for the Buddha.

Dong Qianmo also took a step forward and said, "I also want to accompany my mother and second sister and ask my mother to be fulfilled." ”

Yu Wenzao was stunned, and said in his heart, this Caigen Nunnery, which is very bitter just by hearing the name, why is everyone rushing to go.

Song shook his head: "No, you are frightened, keep it at home." ”

Dong Qianmo said resolutely: "Mother will take me there, otherwise Qianmo will disturb the old lady's rest again, and he will also ask to go with his mother." ”

Song sighed and said, "Okay, you and Xuanying will go with me." ”

Dong Xianpei and Dong Lianyue glanced at each other, and Dong Lianyue spoke: "Mother, we will also accompany you to Caigen Nunnery." ”
