Chapter 13: Who Is the Real Master?
Tao Yaoyao didn't care what those people said, and after returning to the room, she planned to put the "first pot of gold" in her hand, and when she opened the futon, she suddenly found that her Luoxia hairpin was lying there.
"Huh? I obviously remember to put it on ......" Tao Yaoyao frowned, squatted down and pulled out the bag tied under the bed board, and after opening it, the Luoxia hairpin clearly came into view.
Tao Yaoyao put the silver ticket in her hand, she sat at the head of the bed, took out the hairpin and looked at it carefully in her hand. This hairpin must be a very important thing to put on her body when she has amnesia, but why does she have an extra one under her pillow?
"Little Momo, are you there?" Xiao Cui suddenly pushed the door open.
Tao Yaoyao hurriedly stuffed the hairpin under the pillow and stood up gently.
"What's wrong?" Tao Xiaoyao felt that something was wrong.
"When I checked on the third floor, I found that there was a red brocade missing, and now Qingqing called everyone to the hall, come quickly." Xiao Cui said and pulled up the peach and walked out.
"What red brocade?" Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, and asked as she walked.
"Last year, we got a piece of top-grade red jade in Linglong Pavilion, and it is said that our big proprietor personally created ten hairpins with this piece of red jade, and it is also said that the most favored concubine of the saint today also has one and regards it as a treasure. It's just ......" Xiao Cui quickly shut up.
"Just what?" Tao Yaoyao was a little curious.
"It's just that the concubine is dead, and now everyone says that this woman is very ominous, saying that she has confused the monarch or something." Xiao Cui leaned close to Tao Yao's ear and said softly, these little girls are usually well-behaved, but they are still very gossip about the rumors in the market, not to mention that they are also related to characters like the royal family.
"Is that concubine the one who was announced on the emperor's list a few months ago?" Tao Yaoyao asked.
"Not really. Eh, the older people say that if you plant melons, you will get melons, and you will get beans, you see, even if you are a queen one step away, you can't suffer God's damnation! Xiao Cui sighed a little, it seems that she has decided that the concubine is a vixen.
Tao Yaoyao shook her head and didn't speak, Xiaocui thought she was also sighing and didn't think much about it. In fact, she was secretly thinking in her heart, although she lost her memory, but she still knew some of the causes and consequences, there must be an initiator behind this incident to incite the people and spread rumors, it seems that this ancient era needs a person who can speak!
No, the business she wanted to invest in her first pot of gold has been settled. Just when she was still thinking, she had been dragged to the hall by Xiao Cui, she came back to her senses, only to find that everyone had gathered, and looked at her with a very strange look.
"Little Peach, do you know how important the red brocade is?" Qingqing saw that Tao was dying, and asked unceremoniously while spitting thorns in his mouth.
"I don't know." Tao Yaoyao looked at her and seemed to understand something.
"I don't know? Ha ha! Red brocade is the treasure of our Luoyang County Pavilion, and there are five of these things left in Beigao now! Qingqing laughed dryly twice, but the tone of the explanation was a little unkind.
"So what?" Tao Yaoyao's eyes narrowed, and there was some hidden danger in it.
"Therefore, if you hand it over now, and deduct your salary for this month, you will be fined for two days, even if my lord will let you go in large quantities and talk too much about the shopkeeper. If you don't hand it over, if there is any problem with the red brocade, I'm afraid you can't afford to pay it! Qingqing saw that Tao Yao pretended to be stupid, and she was not polite, and lectured directly.
"Why are you so sure that this red brocade is here?" Tao Yaoyao looked curious.
"Humph! In the morning, the red brocade was still there, but it disappeared when the inventory was carried out. Among them, you are the only one who has been on the third floor, not you! Qingqing's tone was very stern, as if he had already decided that Tao Yaoyao was a thief.
"Oh? That's right. I remember you were there, and that Sinan. Besides, some people have been there during this period, so why do you insist that it is me? Tao Yaoyao looked at the guy who had gone up, and it was a little meaningful.
"Little Peach, what do you mean by that. I've been in Linglong Pavilion for a year, how could I do such a thing! The person who was watched by Tao Yaoyao didn't know whether he was a thief or unwilling, and immediately retorted, half of his neck was red.
"Really? Isn't this the kind of thing up to you to guess? Or is it a good person to stay for a long time? Tao Yaoyao looked at him with some playfulness.
That's right, Qingqing alone can't put things into her room at all. This person lives not far from her, and if she is in the same league as Qingqing, naturally no one will find out, and it also gives Qingqing an excellent alibi.
"Xiao Tao, Alain saw me Xiaojie, I'm afraid that someone won't be kind enough to help me see for a moment, you say this about her, is it a thief?" Qingqing's speed of helping without a breath made Tao Yaoyao more affirmative, this drama of shouting thieves and catching thieves is really naïve!
"I don't know what Red Brocade is, and I don't have the key to open the cabinet at all, you can say whatever you want when you see that I'm not pleasing to the eye!" Arguing with this kind of person is right in his arms, and ignoring it is the right solution.
"Hmph, you still say you don't know! How do you know that red brocade is in a locked cabinet? This isn't something you're new to knowing! It is true that the key to this locker is in my custody, but the key is gone after you leave at noon! You still say it's not you, okay! Let's go to your room and find out! Qingqing's face was happy, and she was worried that she couldn't find the right reason to search the house, but this ugly girl was automatically sent to the door.
"Huh?" Tao Yaoyao was speechless for an instant, and then looked at the expressions of the people on the side, it seemed that Qingqing's two sentences were almost the same.
But how should she answer? Could it be that she just said it casually, because these treasures in modern jewelry stores must be locked, and it is not normal for them to be kept by the team leader of the counter? Who knew that this was not the case with shops in ancient times.
It's true that you can't blame the peach, most of the shops here are shopkeepers or the owners themselves are in charge of the keys, mainly because they don't have a complete system or don't trust the guys, etc. You know, who is the real master of Linglong Pavilion!
Things have come to this point to search the house is a must, Tao Yaoyao simply greeted the ancestors of Qingqing countless times in his heart, except for the two who left the store, the rest were gathered at the door of Tao Yaoyao's room.
Qingqing and the others entered the room, first rummaging through the doors and boxes of the cabinet drawers, but they did not find anything.
"Qingqing, you must have misunderstood, Xiao Tao wouldn't do such a thing!" Xiao Cui said anxiously.
"Xiaocui, you don't know your face but don't know your heart, don't be deceived by her ugly appearance, in fact, she is even more dirty in her heart! and the shopkeeper of Yuechi Building did something like that, and the things given by others were also worth the silver, which shows that she is a shameless person who is greedy for money! When Qingqing spoke, she pretended to unintentionally open the mattress of Tao Yao.
"Look, I'm right, isn't this ......" Qingqing was also stunned, what was going on?
There are actually two red brocades on this mat?!
Not to mention Qingqing, everyone present was shocked. If you don't find them, you should watch a lively scene, and if you find them, you don't feel anything, there are many chickens and dogs in this world. But now you find two? How good is that?
Tao Yaoyao now exudes a cold breath all over her body, and she almost applauds Qingqing.
"Well, I thought you were just a little confused, blinded by lard. It seems that you are a repeat offender, not only came to us to steal, say! Where else did you steal it! Qingqing took the stubble, pointed at Tao Yaoyao and asked sharply.
"Guess?" Momo's mouth curled up with a sneer.
"Hmph, why don't you lock her up soon. I immediately sent a book to the Beigao General Pavilion to find out which branch lost it, which is a great achievement! When the time comes, the shopkeeper will come back thanks to you! Qingqing commanded everyone to talk about Tao Yaoyao and locked up in the firewood room, but Tao Yaoyao unexpectedly did not resist at all.
There is a saying that since the enemy is calculating to frame you, it is useless to resist, it is better to be patient and give her a fatal blow!
Besides, Xiao Shan's side, since Tao Yao's disappearance, the manuscripts she left behind have slowly decreased, and the news of Tao Yao'er's death in the sea of fire made Xiao Shan lose his heart at all, and he only thought that this matter was absolutely impossible, and sent countless people to investigate and find it, and there was no news of the stone sinking into the sea for three months.
She can't let Tao Yaoyao's hard work - the entire Linglong Pavilion be destroyed in her hands, she let all the designs and talents collected by the sub-pavilion have been fruitless, and all the manuscripts with Tao Yaoyao must be like heaven and earth.
But that day, she received a letter from Luoyang County, and on the paper she unintentionally opened, that familiar feeling came to her face. On the paper is a pair of earrings, the lines and the money, she will never admit mistakes. Xiaoshan burst into tears, and immediately rushed to Luoyang County day and night, and when she arrived at this night, she was only half a day's work away from Luoyang County, and she was even more emotional.
"Miss, you must have suffered a lot! Xiaoshan knows that you will definitely turn evil into good fortune! Xiaoshan rode on the horse, facing Gou Yue, anxious, eager to fly to Tao Yao's side in the next moment, and never leave again.
And Tao Yaoyao's side, she lay indifferently by a pile of firewood and grass, playing with the dagger in her half-boot, the night light was like a torch, and the sharp peak of the dagger reflected a cold white light.
"Squeak—" A figure cautiously pushed the door open and entered the room sideways.
Tao Xiaoyao put away the dagger and looked up.
"Little Peach, let's eat it." It was Xiaocui, she took out two steamed buns from her arms and put them in front of Tao Yaoyao.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get credit?" Tao Xiaoxiao didn't move, and asked rhetorically.
"Xiaocui doesn't believe that you are such a person, they all say that you are disgusting, but Xiaocui thinks that your heart is good, and you want to be a young lady who has seen the world. You're so beautiful! Xiao Cui was a little embarrassed and shy when she said this.
"Miss, you are so beautiful!"
"Xiaoshan will not leave his son, and he is willing to serve his son all his life."
"Does Childe dislike Xiaoshan for having no father and no mother? Xiaoshan is willing to follow Childe, let Xiaoshan do anything, I only hope that Childe can take me in! ”
"Miss, Xiaoshan wants to kill you! Since you entered the palace, Xiaoshan has been looking forward to seeing you day and night, but he didn't expect to see you in Linglong Pavilion today! ”
"Miss, don't worry, Xiaoshan will not disappoint Miss!"
Scene by scene, like a picture scroll circling rapidly in Tao Yaoyao's mind, that young and rustic little girl, is she good now?
"Little Peach, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Xiao Cui was suddenly stunned when she saw Tao Yaoyao, her expression was first confused, then painful, and finally seemed to suddenly brighten, and quickly shook her body, is this the nightmare that the old man said?
Tao Yao opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes were as bright as the stars, like the sea. She gently opened her lips, and the meaning of her words made Xiao Cui feel that the April sky was a little warmer.
"Linglong Pavilion!"
