Chapter 241: Investigation
When Qingluo thought like this, she naturally thought about Fang Dongqiao wholeheartedly, and when she spoke, she naturally felt a little worried.
"Miss, if you don't wait until you're done eating, if there's anything difficult about this, you won't be in a hurry to meet at this time. Besides, this young lady is hungry, and she must not be able to come up with any good ideas, so it is better to wait until she is full, and then think about it carefully, maybe a good idea will come out. The slave used to be like this when she was at home, and she didn't have any idea when she was hungry. ”
Qingluo looked at Fang Dongqiao with bright eyes and handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Fang Dongqiao unconsciously fell into deep thought, she didn't notice at this moment, she was actually distracted again, but fortunately, there were two maids beside her, Hibiscus and Qingluo, and they wouldn't say anything.
At that moment, she collected her thoughts, took the chopsticks in Qingluo's hand, and ate the rice bowl one bite at a time. When she was eating, she looked at Hibiscus Qingluo standing next to her, as if she remembered something.
Looking at her memory, she just wanted to forget to sleep and eat, and she always caused the maids around her to go hungry with her, she was really a little undesirable as the master, thinking, Fang Dongqiao beckoned Hibiscus Qingluo to sit down together.
"It's getting late, and there's no outsider in the room, so you two can sit down and dine with Miss Ben."
"Miss, this can't be helped, how can the slave maid eat at the same table with the young lady, if this is known by the young lady, the slave and the maid will be miserable." Hibiscus and Qingluo kept their duties and did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
Fang Dongqiao saw them so polite, it was naturally good, but at this time, she couldn't eat so much by herself anyway, and it was quite boring to eat alone, so it was better to sit down and eat together, so as not to be cold and lonely, and it would be boring to eat.
"Sit down, don't let Mulian waste any more time preparing meals for the two of you, you can't finish the meal on this table by yourself, so ah, you two don't refuse, this is Miss Ben's reward for you, reward you for your outstanding performance recently, so reward the two of you and Miss Ben for having an honor to sit together for a meal, understand?"
Fang Dongqiao could only say this, and after saying this, Mu Hibiscus and Qingluo would rest assured that they would sit down and eat with Fang Dongqiao.
Sure enough, hearing Fang Dongqiao's words, hibiscus and Qingluo both showed happy smiles on their faces, this is a great honor for the master, in normal times, but when there is no maid to eat with the master, at this time Fang Dongqiao gave the two of them such an honor, and the hibiscus and Qingluo are three points happier than silver.
At that moment, the two of them didn't refuse, sat down according to Fang Dongqiao's wishes, and finished the dinner with Fang Dongqiao with joy on their faces.
After the meal, Hibiscus Qingluo cleaned up the table and stood behind Fang Dongqiao, waiting for Fang Dongqiao to have any other orders. It was late at night, and Fang Dongqiao also asked the two of them to do something, so he told the two of them to go down and have a good rest as usual, and come to her tomorrow, she has something to hand over to the two of them.
As soon as Mu Hibiscus and Qingluo heard that Fang Dongqiao had something important for the two of them to do, the two of them glanced at each other, their eyebrows were full of each other, with joy on their faces, and after saluting Fang Dongqiao with a smile, they withdrew from Fang Dongqiao's room, and the two began to prepare for tomorrow's schedule.
Fang Dongqiao, who stayed in the room, usually read a book for a while at this time and then went to the medicine field space to clean up, but tonight she was obviously not here, her mind was all on the side of her eldest brother Fang Jingshu, she always wondered if it was the bad woman outside who hooked her eldest brother, so that her eldest brother was away from home every day, and her soul was like this, and she ran outside every day.
This will affect the harmony of the family, you must know that if Fang Jingshu brought back a troubled woman or a rude sister-in-law who looked unpleasant, wouldn't the Fang family's courtyard be at that time, and the family would be restless.
Thinking of that picture, there was a snap, and her mind was irritable, Fang Dongqiao threw away the scroll in her hand, thinking that she would have to follow her eldest brother to find out the situation anyway.
Fang Dongqiao got up early the next morning, when it was still dark.
The two maids, Hibiscus and Qingluo, probably heard Fang Dongqiao say last night that there were important things that the two of them needed to handle today, so they also got up early, and at this time they came to Fang Dongqiao's side, and they wanted to see if Fang Dongqiao was up, but they saw that Fang Dongqiao was already sitting on the dresser neatly dressed, combing it randomly, just take a streamer and simply tie it.
Seeing this situation, Mu Hibiscus hurriedly stepped forward to take the comb, re-combed Fang Dongqiao, carefully and gently tied her hair bun, pinned beaded flower accessories, and helped Fang Dongqiao to straighten her dress, see where there was something inappropriate, and stretched out her hand to smooth it out.
Fang Dongqiao didn't have the heart to pay attention to these today, but kept urging Mu Hibiscus to go to Qinghui Garden.
"Mu Hibiscus, now you go to Qinghui Garden to see if the eldest young master is going out at this time?"
Mu Hibiscus was slightly surprised when she heard Fang Dongqiao ask about Fang Jingshu's whereabouts, but she didn't ask Fang Dongqiao anything, nodded in response, and hurriedly went to Qinghui Garden to inquire about Fang Jingshu's whereabouts.
That Qingluo had already prepared a wash water for Fang Dongqiao at this time, and after waiting for Fang Dongqiao to clean his face and rinse his mouth, he went out with a basin and splashed the water on the edge of the pond.
After Fang Dongqiao rinsed his mouth, as usual, Mulian prepared an early serve for Fang Dongqiao to eat. Fang Dongqiao was anxious to know what Fang Jingshu had been doing these days, so he had eaten very little this morning, not even half of the siu mai, and as soon as his eyes saw the figure of Mu Hibiscus coming back, he immediately put down his chopsticks, quickly wiped the corners of his lips, and asked Mu Hibiscus urgently.
"How? Hibiscus, did the eldest young master go out over there? ”
"Miss, when the slave and maid passed, the eldest young master had already gotten up, and it is estimated that it will be time to pack up now, and it is time to go out." Fang Dongqiao heard the news from Mu Hibiscus and immediately asked again.
"Have you asked the little guy next to the eldest young master, has the eldest young master gone to the morning court today? Also, in the past few days, where has the eldest young master gone, has he mixed up with some indiscriminate people? ”
Of course, Fang Dongqiao wouldn't say anything like her shameless daughter hooking up with her eldest brother, and she could only ask Mu Hibiscus in a more tactful way.
Mu Hibiscus heard Fang Dongqiao ask about this, and hurriedly replied: "Miss, the slave maid exchanged a few words with Qingfeng. Recently, where did the eldest young master go, who he had seen, Qingfeng was not clear, and he was also wondering there, saying that the eldest young master's whereabouts were mysterious and mysterious recently, and he didn't know what he was busy with, and he also said that maybe the eldest young master had taken on some secret errand, and no one else was allowed to know, so he went out alone to do everything these days, and there was no breeze around him. ”
Mu Hibiscus told Fang Dongqiao the news she had gotten.
Fang Dongqiao's brows condensed slightly. It seems that it is really possible that the eldest brother has been entangled by a bad woman.
When Fang Dongqiao was thinking like this, he hurriedly instructed Mu Lian to clean up early, quickly withdraw, and told Mu Hibiscus to stay in the Bamboo Lotus Courtyard, and help her keep an eye on the batch of maids carefully, to see if there was any uneasy in it, if there was any uneasy, return to her immediately after coming back, and she would clean up those restless subordinates as soon as possible.
"Remember, Hibiscus, this matter is entrusted to you, Miss Ben is very relieved. You must know that Hibiscus has always been more cautious and cautious than Qingluo in picking people, and you must be safe, so Miss Ben will entrust you with such an important matter. Hibiscus, Miss Ben might as well tell you honestly, this time the selection of candidates is very important for Miss Ben, if there is a little bit of a maid with a bad mind, it may cause trouble for Miss Ben, so Miss Ben wants you to be careful, Miss Ben keeps an eye on them, if there is any trouble, immediately give those people to Miss Ben, understand? ”
In the newly bought maids this time, Fang Dongqiao intuitively thought that some of the maids came in with eyeliner inserted by others, and it was very likely that they came to explore the news of Qinghetang, or it was very likely that they came for her Fang Dongqiao, so she had to be careful.
Mu Ge listened to Fang Dongqiao's instructions, and understood that Miss probably wanted to select some maids to come up and do something important, but the maids who couldn't be trusted, Miss naturally wouldn't let them do things with confidence, so she entrusted it to her to deal with it at this time.
This hibiscus also knew that Fang Dongqiao entrusted her with the heavy responsibility of selecting maids, which was trustworthy to her hibiscus, so she naturally acted more cautiously, cheered up, and did not dare to live up to Fang Dongqiao's attention.
"Miss, don't worry about going out, leave it to the slave to deal with it here, and the slave will definitely handle the matter for the young lady."
"Well, with your words, Miss Ben can do other things with peace of mind."
After Fang Dongqiao said this, he took Qingluo out of the Bamboo Lotus Courtyard and went straight to the gate. There, she saw her eldest brother Fang Jingshu riding on a tall horse, pulling the reins, whipping together, and leaving the dust.
Fang Dongqiao saw Fang Jingshu leaving on a fast horse, so he hurriedly called Qingluo and asked Li Bo to drive quickly in the direction of Fang Jingshu.
It's just that no matter how Li Bo catches the car, no matter how fast the speed of the carriage is, it can't catch up with the speed of the fast horse, this Fang Dongqiao saw that the distance from the eldest brother Fang Jingshu was getting farther and farther, she was in a hurry to let Li Bo stop the carriage, untie the fast horse on the carriage, and prepare to ride the fast horse to catch up with Fang Jingshu.
It's just that she doesn't know how to ride a horse at all, and when she gets on the horse, she will only hug the horse's neck, and her face is very pale with fright. After Fang Dongqiao got on the horse, she knew that she was finished now, so she shouldn't fall down and fall to the sky.
Fang Dongqiao, who closed her eyes painfully and couldn't bear to look at her own miserable situation, didn't notice the sound of landing for a long time, as if something was blocking her downward trend.
