Chapter 173: The Guo Family's Trickery
The Prime Minister's Mansion of Xi Yanguo
Since the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she has never gone to the appointment at night.
Even when she met near the backyard by chance, she lowered her head and didn't dare to say hello.
As for asking why, it was naturally the sound of firecrackers that night, and she closed her eyes and made a wish to the moon.
But she only felt a snort on her left cheek, and then she was hugged into her arms, and she turned her head in surprise.
Si Yanjin's face was so close, a cold kiss fell on the corner of her mouth, and she stared at him stupidly,
Two people nose to nose.
In the distance, smoke suddenly rose into the air, illuminating the entire sky.
The sea of flowers like fire trees and silver flowers was reflected in her eyes, like a jewel from heaven, attracting Si Yanjin's attention,
Looking at these starry eyes, he couldn't help but drop another kiss on her lips.
Just now she asked him what he would wish.
He just smiled faintly, and now, his wish has come true, and he has to thank her.
The firecrackers who were taken advantage of again came to his senses, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to push him away.
But in a panic, he fell off a tree and sprained his foot.
From that day on, she began to avoid Si Yanjin, and she didn't even step out of the door at night.
Ruyu thought that she had attracted a ghost and fallen into evil, and she didn't even go out of the yard when it was dark.
As the days passed, Grandma Guo paid more and more gossip about firecrackers in the ears of the second lady.
Firecrackers don't have a good face for her, and if Grandma Guo offends firecrackers, it is equivalent to offending the three maids in Nanyuan.
Even with Pear Blossom Ruyu, she was no longer close to her, and she was looking forward to the second lady's early birth, and hurriedly sent this Guo Granny back.
One day I came back from the East Garden, and the night was late but I still didn't see the return of the jade pear flower,
Firecrackers wanted to go out to look for it, but opened the window and looked at the locust tree outside the window, but did not see the familiar figure.
Only then did he open the door and hurriedly slipped out of the yard.
"This is obviously my territory, why are all the people who come out and go back now like thieves?"
The more she thought about it, the more she held her breath, obviously she was taken advantage of, but now she acted as if she was the flower thief.
Hiding all day long, even Ruyu noticed her abnormality.
I have a personal relationship with Shan Gongzi, and even Shan Heng has never kissed her!
Si Yanjin actually dared! How dare you be so arrogant!
The most damn thing is that she was lying under the tree on all fours that day like a king with eight shells, trying her best but couldn't stand up.
It was helped up by Si Yanjin and carried back to the yard.
"If Shan Gongzi knows, he will definitely think that I am a woman with a watery poplar flower.
I will definitely abandon me, and I will never see each other for eternity!
No, no, no, you must not be known about it by Shan Gongzi! ”
If it weren't for her sympathy for Si Yanjin's plight, and the fact that he had been kind to her, she wouldn't have regarded him as a friend.
It's good now, he actually took advantage of it, and she didn't know when he was interested in her.
"I must not see him again......"
Firecrackers went to the South Garden, and learned that the pear blossoms were like jade and had gone back in the evening.
Coming out of the South Garden, she lowered her head and continued to chatter all the way, and unconsciously walked to the door of the Ten Thousand Gardens.
"Oops!"
Suddenly, a wall of flesh appeared in front of her and collided with her, and she hurriedly looked up,
It was the familiar masked man.
"You.... You ....."
For a moment, she stumbled.
"What am I?"
Si Yanjin under the mask hooked the corners of his mouth and asked teasingly.
This girl has been hiding from him for several days, which really makes him a little depressed.
"What are you hanging around here in the middle of the night?"
Firecracker swallowed his saliva and took a step back without a trace, widening the distance between him and him.
"I'd like to ask you that."
"What does it matter to you what I do?"
Staring into his eyes, she felt a little weak for some reason.
"Be tough! The spine is straight! It's not you who is wrong! ”
She roared in her heart: "It's obvious that he kissed you secretly!" ”
"And what does it matter to you what I do?"
He gave her back what she had said, intact.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
She deliberately stiffened her neck in order to fuel her prestige.
Looking at the woman in front of him like a fried little fighting,
Si Yanjin had already laughed out loud in his heart.
"Yes, girl, please."
He held back a smile and stood aside with a graceful attitude.
It's obviously not a narrow path, but it's enough for two people to walk side by side.
The firecracker hugged his arms and squeezed sideways past him.
It seems that he really scared her that day.
"Am I so annoying?"
Si Yanjin looked at her petite back and fell into deep thought.
"Or is it because she has a sweetheart that she has a problem with me?"
He became more and more curious about how outstanding her lover named Shan Heng was.
"Don't worry, I'll find out soon....."
Si Yanjin took one last look at the direction in which the firecracker disappeared, and turned around and melted into the night.
Firecrackers walked around the Prime Minister's Mansion, and met the housekeeper in the front yard with the guards patrolling the night.
I just said that I had dropped my jewelry and was looking for it, so I was confused.
The housekeeper knew that she had always been favored in the house, so he didn't ask more.
I only let her go back early to rest, the night is very cold, it is better to look for it tomorrow.
With that, he left with the guards.
"Where did these two girls go?"
Firecrackers came to the side door, squatting next to the dog hole and guarding,
Because in winter, the weeds around have withered, so in order not to let the dog hole be discovered,
She got discarded planks and wood to block the surroundings.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a sound of rustling in the dog hole, and she opened the wooden board to see that Pear Blossom was sticking out her head and coming out of the dog hole.
"Where have you two been?"
Firecrackers get straight to the point.
"Ouch hey!"
Pear Blossom raised her head and saw that there was actually a person standing in front of her, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"My little aunt, you're scared to death!"
Pear blossom staggered out, followed by Ruyu.
"Escaping from the house in the middle of the night, do you still have any rules?"
The firecracker deliberately lowered his throat and poked the heads of the two people one by one.
"Let's get down to business....."
Rika was panting, and she had some mud spots on her face.
"What's the matter?"
I think it's going crazy to go out!
Firecrackers raise eyebrows.
"Let's go, go back!"
Rika looked left and right, but still didn't speak.
The three of them returned to the small courtyard, and Pear Blossom Ruyu told them how they went out.
"What? Are you going to follow Grandma Guo? ”
"yes....."
The two nodded in unison.
"Madame?"
"Madame doesn't know yet, if she instructs, she will naturally call you first."
Ruyu shook her head and said.
"Today's incident happened suddenly, and we really didn't have time to call you."
Rika took a large sip of water from her teacup, obviously thirsty.
"Grandma Guo went to the pawnshop and went home, you say, she still hid a lot of silver in the dry well outside the yard?"
"That's right! There are both jewelry and silver! We deliberately hung it up and turned it over. ”
"What did she do at the pawnshop?"
"It is said to be a gold bracelet."
"A gold bracelet?" Firecracker frowned: "Where did she get the gold bracelet?" ”
"I don't know this, we want the shopkeeper to take it out, but he refuses,
Said we had to buy it before we showed it....."
"Has Nanyuan lost anything lately?"
"No....." Rika shook her head: "Madame's things, I'm careful about everything!" ”
"Presumably, she doesn't dare to guard and steal, in case she is found by her wife, she will lose the face of the Qi Mansion."
Firecrackers nodded, where did Grandma Guo get these jewelry?
"I heard from the maid in the house that I once met Granny Guo and Aunt Mo hiding in the garden and whispering."
"Aunt Mo, the new arrival in West Garden?"
"Yes!"
"Is it related to the West Garden? It's really hard to prevent it, no wonder I always don't want to see me......
You will continue to follow Grandma Guo tomorrow, and I will go to find out the movements of Xiyuan!
The child in Madame's womb must be born safely, and they can't be harmed by them again! ”
We are so careless! She was allowed to serve her wife for so long, what if she drugged her medicine and food?
Ruyu's face was a little ugly.
"Calm down first, tomorrow I will go to ask the old lady to find a royal doctor to give the lady a pulse,
Check how the fetus is, after so long, Mrs. Guo's body has not moved, presumably Mrs. Guo may want to take advantage of Mrs. Childbirth to do it.
Tomorrow, you must not let her serve her closely, for all the medicine she cooks and the food she handles will be dropped. ”
"Good!" Rika nodded cautiously.
"Ruyu, tomorrow you go to the front yard and walk around more, and see if you can find something out of the mouth of a maid."
"Well, it just so happened that Madame rewarded me with some broken silver a few days ago, and I just happened to come in handy!"
"You are really willing, and you don't plan for your future, save some money."
Firecrackers can't help but admire Ruyu's generosity.
"It's okay, I naturally have to save some money, I know it in my heart."
Ruyu laughed lightly.
"Ahem, cough, cough.... Ahem... All staring at what I do. ”
Pear Blossom on the side couldn't sit still when she heard this, and she held the teacup tightly in her hand.
"Haven't you always been the most loyal to Madame? How? Come, contribute some private money out....."
Firecracker stretched out his hand to tease her deliberately.
"I... I'm faithful, but I don't have any money! No money! ”
Rika twisted her head to the side: "I just have to do my best!" ”
"Hahahaha, stinky girl, teasing you!"
Firecracker smiled and knocked her on the head: "This made Mrs. feel so sad to hear." ”
"Humph! Don't say you said it, I'll go back and rest first. ”
Rika put down her teacup and stood up, lest they tease her again.
After Pear Blossom returned to the house, Ruyu also laid out the futon and went to bed, and after a while, she snored everywhere.
She and Rika didn't have a lot of toss today.
The firecracker took off his clothes, extinguished the candle, and opened the door a crack,
There was no one in the tree outside the door, and she closed the door tightly, with a hint of loss in her heart.
