A farce, the cause is the silver hairpin who committed suicide by throwing himself into the well, this fresh and beautiful morning in early summer, the sky is still pale and slightly bright under the mist, the morning dew condensed on the grass and trees and green leaves is like the eyes of Ning Che after the awakening of the living soul, looking forward to the beautiful tranquility of the morning of the day, the silver hairpin is wearing a new cherry red embroidered skirt made this summer, standing on the side of the path leading to the second gate of Canglang Garden, covered by a pomegranate tree with orange and red flowers, a pair of peach blossom eyes, full of eagerness to look at the silent and uninhabited path.

Every time the second master goes to the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, he has to pass by here.

Yinchai pinched a fan sleeve cut from dark cyan cloud brocade in his hand, and there was an orchid pattern embroidered with blue silk threads on it.

When wearing a round-necked green robe and a hairband with black yarn and a curtain, the graceful figure appeared at the far end of the path, and the silver hairpin immediately walked out of the hiding place, squatted on the side of the road, and carefully picked up the gorgeous flowers that had been blown off by the west wind overnight, and gently placed them in the vermilion yarn bag carefully embroidered with magnolias, with pity in his eyes and a slight sadness on his expression.

"You're picking up flowers here again?" The man's mellow and gentle voice broke the silence of the early morning.

A gentle flower bloomed in the bottom of Yinchai's heart.

got up with a little panic and saluted with a smile: "Second master is early, there was a strong wind last night, and the slave and maid expected that they would not know how many flowers would fall, so they came to pick it up this morning." ”

Obviously, this is not the first "coincidence".

"The slave maid picked up this fallen flower in the past, because she couldn't bear these Fangfei committed to the sludge, but she didn't know how to dispose of it, and she had to tell the second master how to use it to make tea after drying, and she could also make rouge for daily use, which was not in vain for them to bloom for a season." His eyes overflowed from the corners of his delicate eyes, and his veins were affectionate: "The slave doesn't know how to thank the second master for his kindness, only the female red can still handle it, so she made a fan cover, and I hope that the second master will not be disgusted and ugly." ”

Presented the fan cover, my heart was pounding, a few times of apprehension, a few times of expectation.

The gaze that had nowhere to place could be placed on the horn belt around the man's waist, so he didn't see the look of disappointment that quickly swept in Su Ke's eyes, and the impatience between his eyebrows.

"It's a nice one, but I don't need it...... Your daughter is good, why don't you embroider a silk handkerchief for Erniang and Siniang, and I will receive your gratitude. ”

The flower in my heart suddenly withered and withered.

Stunned to watch the figure of Chao Si Dusk go away along the path, the peach-like eyes were full of tears of grievance, and the silver hairpin didn't even notice it, behind a certain bluestone behind him, a maid was full of disdain.

The maid smacked lightly, scolded a "cheap bone", trotted back to Canglang Garden with a skirt cover, and waited for a long time, and finally looked forward to Deli's coming back from the Duchess of the Kingdom, and then told her a good show she had witnessed: "The slave heard the maids in the yard talking in private, and at first she was still skeptical, and I didn't want to see the little slut hooking up with the second master halfway now......"

So there was a farce in the Golden Guiyuan.

Ritchell slaughtered Jin Guiyuan violently, and without saying anything, he let the maids smash it, beat and scolded Aunt Zhang with a face, and asked her to hand over Yinchai, the shameless subordinate who hooked up with the master.

Aunt Zhang is not a lenient master who defends her subordinates, but she can't swallow the arrogance of Li's Xingshi, and the conflict is out of control.

There was a lot of trouble in the yard, Yinchai knew that the matter was caused by himself, he didn't dare to go out, he only hid in the back room and wiped his tears, and all the maids in Jinguiyuan "participated in the war", and no one noticed when Yinchai didn't want to open the well.

It wasn't until Siniang couldn't bear to "force each other to die" and temporarily calmed down the chaos, a little girl felt a stinging pain on her face, and when she touched it, she was bloodstained on her hand, so she quietly went to the backyard, wanted to fetch water to wash the wound first, and bent down to take a look, only to find that there was a person soaking in the well!

Qiu Yue even saved candy snacks about these things, and only inquired clearly about them after "communicating with each other" with a bunch of curious maids.

"The second lady was called to Yuanying Hall by Mrs. Tai, this son is being trained, Yinchai's body has been salvaged and carried outside, Mrs. Tai is merciful, and let Mr. Song find a cemetery for burial, Aunt Zhang and the maid who made trouble are detained in Jinguiyuan, and Mrs. Guo is also back, this son is in Yuanying Hall." Qiu Yue said.

Xia Yun on the side was crying with a sad face, as if he was sad for Yinchai's miserable end.

Banniang came to Luqing Garden, cried fiercely, and was helped to rest in the wing, Yijing was not at ease, so she asked Chun Du and Qiu Shuang to wait, so that Xia Yun was able to stay by the little master's side.

"This silver hairpin has no family?" Yijing asked again.

Xia Yun, who has always been silent, answered: "Yinchai is the same as a slave and maid, not a child born in a family, and it is a coincidence that he was selected with a slave and maid eight years ago." I couldn't help but sigh: "When she entered the house, her parents died, and this time she will go like this, and there will not even be a person who burns paper in the future, which is too pitiful." ”

Qiu Yue couldn't get used to Xia Yunru's mournful appearance, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "She also asked for herself, what she didn't do well, she actually did such a thing, no wonder the second lady was so angry!" She felt that she had no face to see people, so she threw herself into the well, but she had to be punished for implicating the subordinates in a yard, but she was afraid that even Aunt Zhang would ...... It's not going to end well this time! ”

Xia Yun was a little bored in her heart, and secretly said that if there is a family member to rely on and plan for Yinchai's future, she will not make such a decision, but if there is a little hope, who wants to be a slave for life, even for future generations?

Yijing glanced at Xia Yun, but said to Qiu Yue: "I think the situation of the eighth sister is very bad, it seems that the pain is excessive, you can go to my grandmother's with me, and go back to the elders to ask the imperial doctor to take a look." ”

After avoiding Xia Yun, Yijing instructed again: "Carefully inquire about the background of this silver hairpin, how he was able to enter the mansion, and who he usually befriended." ”

Qiuyue didn't ask why Yijing was so concerned, she only responded one by one, and talked about the sound of the warbler: "Her shoes are finally done, and today I will go to the second gate to wait for Mama Song, the two of them muttered for a while, and the warbler came back with a spring breeze on her face, humming a little song when washing clothes, and the mood was too good." ”

Yijing thought, this time Li and Aunt Zhang had a quarrel, and they had to implicate many slaves and maids to be punished.

What a coincidence!

Yijing always felt that this turmoil was inseparable from Mama Song, although Mama Song did not go to Jinguiyuan today.

Could it be that it was because of the need to find a way to make the sound of the warbler and the red rain as desired, which caused the silver hairpin to fall into the well?

This thought just flashed, and Yijing was followed by a burst of self-deprecation, with her understanding of Mama Song, it is really a trivial matter to let Hongyu enter Luqing Garden, there is no need to make such a big turmoil, it seems that she is too "important" to Mama Song, but whenever she encounters something strange, her intuition is inseparable from her.

At this time, of course, Yijing didn't expect that Yinchai's death was indeed related to a conspiracy set up decades ago.

"If as expected, since Yingsheng has already handed over the shoes to Mama Song, maybe in the next three or two days, Hongyu will be transferred into Luqing Garden, and what I told you a few days ago can be implemented." In front of Yuanying Hall, Yijing commanded Qiuyue.

It was nearly noon, the sun was scorching, and the morning mist had already melted without a trace, and the banana leaves, slender grass, stood solemnly beside the plantation road, as if they were affected by the dignified expressions of the maids standing in the corridor under the eaves, and did not dare to move slightly.

Mama Song saw Yijing coming over with a silk umbrella and greeted her all the way.

"Why is Wu Niang here?"

Yijing smiled slightly, but did not speak, only holding Qiu Yue's hand forward.

Mama Song was a little embarrassed, she didn't dare to shake her face at Yijing, she only glared at Qiuyue slightly: "On such a hot day, why don't you persuade Wu Niang, if you suffer from the heat, you will be punished carefully." ”

Yi Jing sneered in her heart, and then looked at Mama Song with a sideways face, the girl's delicate face was not half unhappy: "Mama, don't scare Qiuyue, I have something important to report to my grandmother." ”

While speaking, she had already reached the bottom of the Ming Hall steps, and Mama Song made a gesture to help Yijing, looking respectful, but she used some force in her hands to prevent her from entering: "The princess and the ladies are talking, and they have ordered not to let idlers enter." ”

"Grandmother said she wouldn't let me in?" Yijing blinked aggrievedly and quietly withdrew his arm.

This...... Of course, he didn't say by name that Wu Niang would not be allowed to enter.

Yijing smiled again and said to Qiuyue, "You wait outside." ”

One step over the threshold is to go into the house.

"Wu Niang, the princess and the ladies are talking about business." Mama Song stepped forward closely.

"I came to see my grandmother because I was on business." Yijing pursed her lips slightly, innocently stubborn.

Sure enough, it was a spoiled child, Mama Song felt a little crying and laughing, so slightly stunned, Yijing couldn't help but open the curtain and entered the second room.

In the room, the eldest princess had already heard Yijing's voice, so she let the kneeling Li get up, and when she saw Yijing coming in, her calm face eased slightly, and said to Lishi: "You go back first, pack up and go to the Buddha hall, and meditate in front of the Bodhisattva." ”

This is to punish Ritchie for copying scriptures and grounding.

Seeing that the two ladies were standing, Yi Jing naturally didn't dare to sit down, and stood obediently to one side, only peeking at Ritchie.

The second lady was calm, her anger was gone, her face was full of gray color, but she was relieved after listening to the words of the eldest prince.

Fortunately, there is no paper to throw off, just now I saw my mother-in-law's angry appearance, I just thought that this time I can't be good, it's okay, it's okay, but it's just to eat a few days of fasting, read a few days of Buddha, ten days and a half months out, and a good man!

Ritchie stepped back like a hot wheel.

The eldest princess sighed helplessly, and then beckoned to Yijing: "Look at your sunburn, sweaty face, what is the reason for coming here against the sun?" ”

Yi Jing met with Huang and grandmother separately, and smiled and reported that he would ask the imperial doctor to diagnose Banniang's pulse.

The eldest princess felt very comforted, pulled Yijing to sit beside her, and said to the Huang family: "Today, thanks to Chen'er and Jing'er's presence to deter and dissuade, it will not become more and more unbearable. Today's matter, although the Li family is at fault, the Zhang family is even more arrogant, and the slaves and maids in her yard are also not half of the rules, and they dare to do something to the master! ”

Huang's face was very ashamed: "It's all because my daughter-in-law is not strict." ”

"That's it, those who violate the rules of the government should be punished, and together with the Zhang family, go to the bottom of the Zhuangzi." The eldest princess waved her hand, her dissatisfaction with Aunt Zhang had already accumulated, and this time she made such an unbearable thing, it was really to the point where she couldn't bear it.

The Huang family didn't dare to intercede for Aunt Zhang, so they responded: "Jin Guiyuan has such a thing, and it is no longer suitable for Banniang to live, but for a while, the courtyard next to it has not been properly decorated, so I have to let Banniang move in with Ruiyuan for a while." ”

"Mother, why don't you let the eighth sister live in Luqing Garden for the time being." Yijing immediately suggested.

Huang said with a smile: "Banniang's nurse was punished this time, she can't keep her in the house, Banniang's side is useless, she is frightened again, or I will take care of it personally." ”

"But the mother has a lot of things in her hands, and it is really hard to take care of the eighth sister, so let the daughter share the worries for you, the mother can rest assured, the daughter will take care of the eighth sister." The beautiful scenery insisted.

The Huang family seemed to be a little embarrassed, so he looked at the eldest princess and wanted to wait for her to show her.

The eldest princess hesitated for a moment, stroked the long brocade-like hair hanging down from Yijing's shoulders, and nodded: "That's it, Banniang and Jing'er are usually good, it's naturally good to have Jing'er comforting her, you just take the post and let people go to the imperial doctor, and also pay attention to the proper mother-in-law, arrange a housekeeper for Banniang, the maid in Jinguiyuan doesn't understand the rules, and the Zhang family doesn't plan for Banniang, so you, the mother-in-law, have to worry more." ”

It seems that this time, the slaves and maids in Jinguiyuan are in a catastrophe.

Huang agreed, but he didn't dare to stay longer, so he said goodbye.

Only then did Mama Song hold the glass bowl and enter: "Wu Niang, drink a bowl of sour plum soup to cool off." Another bowl was presented to the eldest princess: "You also extinguish the fire, on a hot day, you can't be angry." He didn't go out, he stood aside and gossiped and chatted, until the eldest princess's expression completely eased down, and then she said: "The second lady went directly to the Buddhist hall and asked the second lady to pack up the clothes and mats, it seems that this time she really knew that she was wrong." ”

"Still not wrong? It's a lot older, I really don't know how to restrain myself, in front of the juniors, I don't care about the physique at all, how big is it, I have to make a mess, although the silver hairpin is misbehaved, it can let the Huang family come forward and send her down, and send it to Zhuangzi far away, isn't it clean? Thinking of Ritchie's style, the eldest princess had a headache, but in front of the juniors, she couldn't say many things directly, so she had to sigh: "I really should have invited a grandmother from the palace to teach her the rules and manners." ”

Yijing couldn't help laughing: "Then you have to find a grandma who can write and martial arts, and with the straightness of the second aunt, maybe she will fight against Mama." ”

The eldest princess also laughed, but she heard Mama Song say again: "To put it mildly, some maids in the house are old and their minds are active, so they should be strictly restrained." After speaking, he looked at the beautiful scenery, and his desire to speak was quite obvious.

Yi Jing suddenly tensed her nerves, and intuitively felt that Mama Song wanted to use the topic to play, did she want to talk about Chundui again?

The eldest princess naturally didn't miss Mama Song's expression, and frowned slightly: "Jing'er is also older, and there are some words that don't have to avoid her." ”

Yijing was overjoyed, secretly thinking that he could gain such trust from his grandmother, and his efforts in the past few days would not be in vain. looked at Mama Song with blazing eyes, waiting for her to make a move.

Mama Song obviously didn't expect the eldest princess to let herself speak bluntly in front of Yijing, and she was slightly stunned, before she said: "A few days ago, a pair of slave maid's shoes were damaged, and the girl in Hongyu saw it in her eyes, so she wanted to make a pair herself, but the girl was really not good. ”

Yijing didn't expect Mama Song to mention the sound of the warbler at this time, and she was surprised.

"I don't want the warbler to be very diligent, so I immediately took my own body, but I made a pair of shoes in a few days, embroidered with flowers and rich and rich, and the craftsmanship was really good."

The eldest princess smiled: "It's been a big circle, and I think you don't really like the craftsmanship of Yingsheng, so let's get to the point quickly." ”

Mama Song immediately smiled and said, "The princess is wise, and she can see through the slave's mind at a glance." ”

Most of the maids in Luqing Yuan were personally selected by the eldest princess, including Yingsheng, the reason why she was asked to wait by Yijing's side was because she was outstanding, and she also had a clever mouth to coax Yijing to laugh.

"This morning, Yingsheng gave the shoes to the slave maid, and by the way, he proposed that he wanted to be transferred to Songtao Garden to wait." Mama Song finished her dedication and said this.

The eldest princess's face sank.

Yijing was stunned, and couldn't help but praise Mama Song in her heart.

originally thought that she would push the boat along the river, but who would have thought that from the beginning, Mama Song was playing the abacus of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle!

I didn't want Yingsheng to get her wish at all, but as long as she was sent off under this pretext, there would be an extra vacancy in Luqingyuan, and it would not hinder Hongyu's plan to transfer to Luqingyuan.

It just so happened that it was at such a time - there was a scandal of Yinchai not being able to seduce the master, shame "self-denial", and there was an impure warbler - why he wanted to transfer to the side of his son, it really leads people to reverie.

It's really a clever trick to kill people without seeing blood, and the beautiful scenery is greatly inspired.

But...... Is there really such a coincidence?

Yijing looked at Mama Song's gaze, becoming more and more thoughtful.

The eldest princess thought about it for a while, and then asked Yijing: "What do you think?" ”

Mama Song was stunned again, she didn't expect that she had carefully arranged one, but it failed to arouse the anger of the eldest princess, and immediately made a warbler's sound, but asked about Wu Niang, it seems that the matter of the previous spring twilight still made the eldest princess feel guilty, but Wu Niang, a little girl who is only twelve years old, where did she understand the intention of the warbler?

Could it be that this plan is going to fall through like this? Mama Song was unwilling, and her gaze at Yijing was a little urgent, but she smiled lightly when she saw Yijing: "This warbler is getting older, but she is getting more and more lazy to eat, the last time because of stealing and playing tricks, Chun Dusk took her as a rule, and punished her severely, I don't want her to be unrepentant, but I am afraid that I will treat her harshly in my heart, so I naturally don't want to stay with me to wait, but such a slippery maid, go to the big brother is not still the master of stealing and playing tricks, this maid can't stay, but it depends on the grandmother." ”

Mama Song was relieved at this time, and her smile was as earnest as an old chrysanthemum in full bloom: "Wu Niang knows people with a good eye, it seems that such a slippery maid can't hide your eyes." ”

Yijing didn't give in, and she also smiled at each other: "Mama has won the award, although I am young, but I also know how to do it, this time thanks to Mama's selflessness, I know that the maid's mind is not pure, so I reminded me." ”

I can't say how discerning people are, but I know a little bit of your thoughts, the girl smiled smartly, and her eyes were bright.
