Chapter 708: Leaving an Embroidered Shoe
Song Zhihua's eldest son rushed over, tugged at the corner of Feng Yang's robe, and cried: "Save my mother, grandma and dad are going to kill my mother, Uncle Feng, don't let them kill my mother, okay?" ”
"Oh!" Feng Yang asked in surprise, "What the boy said is true?" Old lady, stop quickly, murder is a felony, don't be impulsive! However, I saw that your family was fine just now, why did you ...... in a blink of an eye?"
The eldest boy faithfully reported: "My mother said that my father's aunt was bad and let my father divorce her." Grandma thinks that her mother has too many mouths, and she even told the story of drinking cold green tea to the dead. Then, Dad strangled his mother's neck with a turban! Uncle Feng, don't go, they will kill your mother if you leave! He completely regarded Feng Yang as a savior, hugged his calves, and refused to let go.
Feng Yang pressed the top of the eldest boy's head and made a promise with a smile: "Okay, I won't leave, stay in your house and protect your mother." ”
Old Madam Guan's complexion was so ugly that it reached the highest level today, and even Song Zhihua was a little apprehensive. The secrets of the Guan family were exposed, but it was equivalent to the end, and she had no good fruit to eat!
Thinking of this, Song Zhihua took out a silk handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, and called: "Big boy, be good, come to my mother's place, don't pester Uncle Feng." The eldest boy let go of Feng Yang's legs, turned around and threw himself into his mother's arms, crying: "Mother, I don't want you to die!" Under the bed, the two younger children also began to cry together.
Song Zhihua appeased the child, made a grievance and a very knowledgeable expression, lowered his head and said: "Feng Gongzi, the child is not sensible, I made you laugh." In fact, this is the case, our husband and wife quarreled, and my mother-in-law came to persuade me to fight. The eldest boy was devoted to his mother, so he lied and said that Guan Bai wanted to kill me. Don't take it seriously, there's no such thing. ”
"Oh," said Fengyang, "good boy, it is not in vain that Madame loves him all day." ”
Song Zhihua hugged his son in his arms, and pleaded: "Since it was a misunderstanding, please Feng Gongzi treat it as if you didn't see anything, and the concubine will send her daughter Hong, who has been in the cellar for six years, to your room, and it will be a reparation." No wonder it's embarrassing, don't watch us fight here. ”
This time, Feng Yang was surprisingly accommodating: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you Madame for your kindness." He half-jokingly said to the eldest boy, "Take care of your mother, in case she encounters any accidents, I will testify for you." ”
Song Zhihua wiped his tears and said, "Thank you Childe, Childe go slowly." ”
Finally, after sending away this plague god, Guan Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a little grateful to Song Zhihua, and the killing intent towards her disappeared without a trace. has been bumped into by Feng Yang, if Song Zhihua doesn't appear the next day, Feng Yang's unobstructed mouth will definitely shake away. And Guan Bai also had to admit that Song Zhihua was a competent partner.
"Xiao Tao, take the little master and the young lady away." Mrs. Guan's eyes were cold, and she commanded harshly, "The three nurses are all dismissed, and the relatives of the nurses are all slaves in the Guan family, and all of them are sent to people, and none of them are left." From today on, you will be responsible for the daily life of the young lady, and if something like this happens, the old man will only ask you for questions. ”
Xiao Tao agreed, and took the three children away half-dragging and half-dragging. After they left, Mrs. Guan's body collapsed into the sedan chair, letting out a suppressed coughing sound, and the wound on her lower abdomen seemed to be cracked, and wisps of red silk seeped out of the clothes.
"Mother! Are you okay? ”
Guan Bai rushed to the soft sedan car with an arrow, but unexpectedly changed again. There was a hole in the roof of the house overhead, and something had fallen, and when I looked closely, it was a woman's embroidered shoe.
Old Madam Guan, Guan Bai and Song Zhihua were stunned, and looked up at the cave together. Old Madam Guan was the first to come back to her senses and shouted, "Why don't you go up and have a look!" ”
Guan Bai's light skills are poor, and he barely climbed into the room, and the loopholes are empty, how can anyone still be there! However, the delicate three-and-a-half-inch plum blossom embroidered shoes that fell into the room clearly reminded that someone had once stayed on the roof, and it was likely that they had heard all their conversations! Bao Huo plotted to kill the crown prince, including the forbidden weapons workshop, once it was stabbed in the ears of the court and the emperor, the Guan family would have the disaster of stealing the clan and destroying the door!
The three of them all looked heavy, and Mrs. Guan racked her brains, thinking of all remedies.
"The biggest suspicion is still the twenty women who stayed in the house after the banquet - go check immediately, mobilize everyone to check, who has been out of their room, whose feet are three and a half inches long, make a list and check one by one! And King Ning, no matter if he is really sick or sick, we will destroy what should be destroyed and hide what should be hidden, so that he will not find any of them! ”
After finally giving these orders, Mrs. Guan was physically exhausted and fainted, and Guan Bai hurriedly got busy.
The wound on Song Zhihua's head was too piercing to go out, so he called the housekeeper's daughters-in-law in, and dispatched embroiderers and fabrics through the quadruple crystal curtain to make a batch of top-notch embroidered shoes. It was busy until the second half of the night, and her injuries were only briefly treated, and her face turned pale, and her eye circles were deep and heavy.
Guan Bai went back to the room to ask about things, and just saw such a Song Zhihua, which made people feel pity and pity, and couldn't help but soften his heart, hugged her to his chest, and said with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work, I didn't know that you were such a knowledgeable person!" I treated you wrong in the past, and the things at home will be biased towards you in the future, after all, my mother is also old, and many things are powerless. ”
Song Zhihua choked up and asked, "Do you finally know my well?" No matter how bad I am, I'm better than your Aunt Huang, right? ”
"What to do with her." Guan Bai picked up his wife, kicked off his boots and went to the bed, and the two fell face to face with their clothes. "Have a good rest for an hour or two, tomorrow is a new day."
Soon the sky was white in the east, and the house gradually became lively, the treasury was opened, and a batch of blue night pearls from the sea were opened, and after checking the number, there were forty-two in total. Paired with soft silk, textured satin and breathable leather soles, they are made into a variety of embroidered shoes under the skillful hands of a pair of skilful hands.
The maids who served tea and cakes to the embroidery girl discussed in private: "I heard that the blue night pearl is something that cannot be bought with silver, and it is obtained by bartering all the embroidery of the weaving workshop for three months." It's a pity to wear a crown, it's a pity, it's actually used to make shoes? I really don't know what the masters are thinking. ”
"And what's new," said another, "that the shoes were not made for our own ladies, but for the guests who stayed at home." ”
"Only for guests? Miss Grandma didn't? ”
"Anyway, I haven't heard that someone went to ask a few young ladies and young ladies about the length of their feet."
On the other side, the door of the hangover women was knocked open one by one, and the daughters-in-law who knocked on the door were all the same words: "Madame said, it was her negligence yesterday that she didn't tell everyone about the fierceness of osmanthus brewing, which caused everyone to get drunk." As a gift, Mrs. specially invited the best embroidery girl in the embroidery room to make an embroidered shoe inlaid with blue night pearls. I just don't know, how many inches are the feet of your lady and young lady? ”
Most of the personal maids knew the length of the master's feet, and they didn't need to alarm the people in the house, and quickly figured out the size of most people. Some female guests who didn't bring their own maids and were still drunk in bed had to wait and ask.
When Song Zhihua got up to freshen up, the sizes of the fourteen female guests had already reached her hands, and there were not many people who fit around three and a half inches.
Guan Bai asked with some unease: "Assuming that the person on the roof yesterday was a female guest staying overnight, she must also understand how serious the matter is, how could she let a pair of shoes betray herself?" ”
Song Zhihua looked at the hairpin flower in the mirror, and smiled at the person in the mirror: "The blue night pearl, even the mother who has collected pearls for decades does not have a pearl like that." Legend has it that as long as a woman has a blue night pearl, she can forever tie her husband's heart, but now she has the opportunity to get two white pearls, do you think they will be tempted? You're underestimating a woman's infatuation with Jewel. ”
Guan Bai was still suspicious, and said: "In ancient times, there was a story of 'buying and returning pearls', what if they said a fake size and accepted the shoes that didn't fit, just to keep the pair of night pearls?" ”
Song Zhihua said: "It's okay, I have already thought about it, let them all wear new shoes, and hold another pearl night banquet." Whose shoes can't be worn, doesn't that tell? ”
Guan Bai felt that it was very appropriate, temporarily let go of his hanging heart, and said with a little guilt: "It's a pity that there is no extra night pearl, not even the share of my mother and you, so I have to wait for next time." ”
"Don't wait for next time," Song Zhihua pointed to the names ticked off the list and said with a smile, "These people are all Tianzu, and they are also fat and bloated, and they will definitely not be able to wear three-and-a-half-inch embroidered shoes, especially the eldest lady of the Luo family, Zhao, their shoes have been canceled." We can still store a dozen beads. ”
"Cancellation? It's been promised to someone else, how do I cancel it? Guan Bai asked puzzled.
Song Zhihua taught him very patiently: "Mrs. Wang's husband is cool and good, pick a beautiful drama and give it to him, and then try to make Mrs. Wang know that she will no longer live in our house today, let that drama make trouble for another month, and Mrs. Wang will not worry about the night pearl." The mother and daughter of the Wu family, both of them are standard three-inch golden lotus, not much at all, and they can also rule out suspicion. They were most afraid of snakes and put them in their yards. The Zhao family of the Luo family has always been obsessed with the burned family property...... Arrange for someone to go into Luo's house and set a fire again, I don't believe she won't go back. ”
Song Zhihua's expression was innocent, and his tone was gentle, if he didn't care about her words. Guan Bai couldn't help but say in his heart, a woman's infatuation with Zhuyu, now he finally saw it!
At the same time, He Angelica's courtyard door was also knocked on, and it was someone who inquired about the size.
"Three inches and seven," replied one of the grandmothers, "my lord's feet are three inches and seven." Oh yes, the county lord can't stay in your mansion for a long time, and I want to ask when the shoes will be ready. ”
The man said, "Hurry up and do it today, and you will have it at tomorrow's banquet." Because it is the pearl of the night, it is the best to look at at night, so the banquet is scheduled for tomorrow night, please be sure to go to the banquet before leaving. ”
So, Mama replied according to He Angelica's instructions: "Then thank you for your kindness, the county lord likes red shoes." ”
