Chapter 16: Trust

When Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu's siblings chased after Dongfu Rolling Garden, Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother had already discussed the matter of exploring the red-haired fox. Zhuang Jue originally wanted to come to find Yu Qi to apologize, but he never wanted to meet two groups of people outside the rolling garden.

A dispute quietly ensued, and no one could have predicted it.

It turned out that Zhuang Jue and Zhuang Yu went to Zhongfu, and they didn't dare to disturb the old lady, so they slipped into the mirror to avoid people's eyes and ears, and looked inside, but they didn't see the three masters and servants of Yu Qi. I thought they were going to the old lady in Shouzhongju.

Zhuang Yu was afraid that the old lady would scold, so he pushed Zhuang Yu to go and see it first, Zhuang Yu knew that the old lady was uncomfortable, so he naturally didn't want to go. The brother and sister argued for a while outside the gate of Jinghua Xie Courtyard, and neither of them moved to Shouzhongju. They were sulking, and just in time, Chrysanthemum and the two girls came in with a vegetable box from outside. I've seen it.

Chrysanthemum and other girls came to give gifts to Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu.

Taking this opportunity, Zhuang Jue asked Ju'er if she was inside, and Chrysanthemum said: "The master asked the wrong person, I went out for a while, didn't I come back?" How do you know who's in there? ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Jue was full of disappointment, and saw that they were carrying the vegetable box, and they went to open it with many hands and feet, but the chrysanthemum did not give it, and he hurriedly hit Zhuang Jue's hand with his hand, and said: "Master is always like this." This is a dish to eat at night, and you have already brought it back to your house, so you want to see it and go back to see it. ”

Zhuang Ying said boredly: "Who knows what treasures there are!" Sister Ju'er didn't show me, Shouzhongju's food must be better than our house, so I hid it like this, I didn't go back with my fifth sister at night, and I ate with Sister Qi and the old lady in Shouzhongju. ”

Ju'er shook her head, very helpless, beckoning the girl to leave, Zhuang Jue turned around and flashed over, snatched the box from the girl's hand, and opened it quickly. Stunned, there was no food in it, it was a few plates of black things, all of which were wood roots, exuding a foul smell.

Zhuang Yu hurriedly closed the box, pinched his nose and said, "What kind of dish is this, it stinks like this!" ”

Ju'er urged the girl to quickly put the things in, and blamed Zhuang Yu with disgust: "I said that I can't watch it, but I found it myself." The five girls are the smartest, and they don't look at things when they know that they are not good. ”

Zhuang Jue said: "I'm looking for medicine!" Good medicine is bitter, and stinky medicine is expensive. ”

Ju'er shushed and silenced, made her eyes look bright, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet." This is for porridge, not medicine. The old lady said she wanted to eat this. You said it was medicine, didn't you tell people that the old lady was unwell again? The old lady was not happy when she heard it, and she had to say that you were angry with her. ”

Zhuang Yu nodded and covered his mouth.

At that moment, Mei'er came out of the back room, and when she saw Zhuang Ying Zhuang and Chrysanthemum whispering, her eyes were a little swollen, and she said sourly: "The sky is blue, and the girls are still afraid of the dark?" It's so far away that we can't hear it. ”

Ju'er rolled her eyes, pulled her mouth crookedly and left, ignoring the Zhuang Ying brothers and sisters, and not looking at Mei'er squarely.

When the Zhuang brothers and sisters saw this scene, they smiled at each other.

After Ju'er left, Zhuang Jue beckoned to Mei'er and asked her to come down and talk. Mei'er changed her smile and came down.

Zhuang Jue asked her, "Aren't the people of Jinghua Xie coming back?" ”

After listening to this, Mei'er rolled her eyes, then saluted Zhuang Yu, turned around and left. It's rude.

Zhuang Jue didn't give up, chased after two steps and dragged Mei'er, and begged: "Good sister, tell me, where did Sister Qi go?" ”

Mei'er said: "Ye has a good thing to do and hasn't looked for me, and if there is nothing good, just take me to stay." What does that mean? Could it be that I'm a janitor? Keep an eye on whose house is draining, who is in who's house, and when is it lost? ”

Zhuang tortoise squirts.

Zhuang Yu couldn't stand it, so he came up to make peace, grabbed Mei'er and said, "Sister Mei'er, if you know, tell him!" I was also very annoyed by him, and pulled me over to apologize, I don't know if you Miss Qi can stand it! ”

Hearing this, Mei'er's eyes shimmered, the Danfeng black beads hung obliquely, and her small mouth seemed to be smiling, and she said, "If it weren't for the fifth girl, you asked me, I wouldn't have said much about others." Coincidentally, I just went to the treasury to put the old lady's Huaiyu to wipe her forehead, and when I came out, I saw someone going out of the mirror flower Xieli. Dumbfounded, I saw a few people, one was a grandmother, and the other looked at the girls who looked like mirror flowers and went to Dongfu. I don't really see it, otherwise, the master and the five girls will go to Dongfu to look for it? ”

Zhuang Jue didn't finish listening, the soles of his heels were smeared with oil, his body didn't turn right, and the person had already slid out of the door. Zhuang Yu thanked Mei'er behind him, and hurriedly lifted his skirt to follow.

finally caught up with Zhuang Jue, Zhuang Yu said: "Brother slow down." Seeing that Zhuang Yu didn't care, Zhuang Yu was annoyed and said, "I don't need to go this time, then I'll go home." ”

Zhuang Jue smiled and turned his head and said, "Then, then you go back!" ”

Zhuang Yu stomped his foot hard, stopped, and said in a lengthened voice: "No conscience!" You're crossing the river and tearing down the bridge! I'll accompany you all the way, and you'll send me halfway? You go to Dongfu to find Sister Qi, don't you allow me to go to the fourth sister? You say you're a big man, why are you so small-hearted? Just pretend to be yourself. Don't look for me if you have anything to do in the future, I don't recognize you. ”

Saying this, Zhuang Tortoise turned back, apologized in every possible way, and begged: "Sister, don't be angry, didn't I tease you?" How can I let you go back, without you, if Sister Qi doesn't see me, wouldn't she run in vain? You went, she really wanted to see you. ”

Zhuang Yu: "Go!" Pushing Zhuang away from him, he said angrily: "Look, who did you learn these tricks from?" I told my wife to go! ”

Zhuang Yu hurriedly grabbed Zhuang Yu and said, "Good sister, don't!" I let you go, and you are angry, and you are angry when you let you stay. I couldn't say it right. ”

Zhuang Yu said: "It's a shame that you read so many books, it's really hurtful to talk." According to your words to Sister Qi like this, I am afraid that she will not be able to stand you for a word. ”

Zhuang Jue said: "Don't you see that the big sister is also so disgusting? I haven't seen anyone as angry as my sister. Roughly means to go or not to go. After expressing it, you know how beautiful it is. Bother thinking about it. ”

Zhuang Yu glared at Zhuang Yu fiercely and said, "The eldest sister is doing business with the second wife, and she is very powerful. It's not like that, and it's not like that. ”

Zhuang Yu was speechless, nodded again and again to admit his mistake, and then asked Zhuang Yu for forgiveness.

Zhuang Yu forgave him, muttered, and went all the way to Dongfu, Zhuang Yu was not good at walking in front, but followed one or two steps.

On the road.

Zhuang Yu asked Zhuang Jue: "Brother, why can't Sister Mei'er, Sister Zhu'er, and Sister Chrysanthemum get together?" The old lady had never seen anything like this. ”

Zhuang Jue sighed and did not answer.

Zhuang Yu asked strangely: "Sister Mei'er said that Sister Qi came out with her sister-in-law." My sister-in-law is still a good person, and my sister just came back, and she came, which shows that people's hearts are in one place, like their own family. Fortunately, I sent my sister back, otherwise it would have made people think that our family had excluded people! I'll see my sister later, brother, you have to speak carefully. Don't be as annoying as you just did. I'm used to being angry with me, you're angry with my sister, and I don't know what she thinks. ”

Zhuang Jue said again and again: "I know, I know!" ”

The brother and sister spoke again and again, approaching Dongfu all the way.

At the same time, the East Mansion Rolling Garden, the hall is a greenhouse.

The grandmother invited Yu Qi to sit on the kang and instructed the girl to cook the best West Lake Longjing with beeswax, and tasted a few cups to warm her body. Sanxi and Zi have always been different from their usual girls, and they also let them sit on the stool under the kang.

In the house, except for the four of them, no maids and servants are allowed.

At this moment, Yu Qi didn't speak as if she was hiding in Jinghua Xie, and said to the eldest grandmother: "I wanted to go to the Fence Bamboo Garden last night, you know my thoughts." The red-haired fox appeared, and I was uneasy. But they wouldn't let me out. "Straight only Zisu and Sanxi.

The eldest grandmother smiled slightly, and was very appreciative of Zisu and Sanxi.

Yu Qi said again: "I heard the third brother say that there is such a thing, I am very strange, and in the evening, there are people patrolling the night, and the old lady also invites the ladies and old men to discuss it in the morning." ”

The eldest grandmother said: "I also wondered, could it be that the old man came to that place and attracted the fox?" ”

Yu Qi originally wanted to tell her grandmother about the things that Bojing Lao Ni entrusted to her, that is, Jin Yilang. Now, the eldest grandmother said that she didn't know about Jin Yilang, and thought that the red-haired fox was an animal.

Yu Qi hesitated slightly, and was silent for a moment.

Sanxi, who was sitting at the bottom, answered: "What old people are there in Xianyuan'an?" That night, the officers and soldiers surrounded inside and out, and the fire was lit up, as if it was broad daylight. I think of the knives in their hands, and I have nightmares at night! ”

The grandmother sighed, "Yes! I don't know what happened to Xianyuanan! ”

Yu Qi wiped her eyes, she remembered the old scene, thanked Bojing Lao Ni for sacrificing her life to save her, sighed about that encounter, and shed tears. She said: "After you married Dongfu, Mr. Yao came to mention Xianyuan Nunnery once, but I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you." Mr. Yao said that Master Bojing was gone, and he also arrested a group of people, and then he didn't know how to release it again, and the people who were released did not want to go back to Xianyuan Nunnery, so they walked more than half, and now there are still a few guarding there, and the situation is not as good as before. ”

The eldest grandmother also wiped her tears, nodded, and said, "It is said that it is our refuge grace, and it is sad to fall into such a fate." ”

Yu Qi said: "In the end, I was implicated." ”

The eldest grandmother shook her head, and the gentle gaze of the day suddenly sharpened, and said, "If the girl is implicated in the accident, I will also bear half of the responsibility." If you want me to say, it is the one who suffered. ”

Sanxi hated: "It's not, it's your master!" ”

The eldest grandmother's flushed face drooped slightly, roughly agreeing with Sanxi's words.

Yu Qi's eyes were full of embarrassment, and he glanced at Sanxi.

Sanxi ignored Yu Qi and continued: "Grandma doesn't want to recognize that master, that pure light is really bad." If I saw her, I would have to cut her with a thousand cuts. ”

Yes, the first time I entered the Xianyuan Nunnery, I met the grandmother's master Chunguang, at that time, Chunguang made it difficult for the grandmother, Yu Li spoke out righteously, and formed a bond with him, and later, in order to keep his position, Chunguang exposed Yu Li, the government attacked Xianyuan Nunnery at night, and Bojing Lao Ni died under the knife to protect Yu Li.

Who can forget these old hatreds? Sanxi's experience of that night of escape is indeed unforgettable.

The eldest grandmother said: "The wicked have evil retribution, and the master will not die unjustly." That person must not end well. The government can't catch anyone, can it let her go? I hope this red-haired fox was brought by someone who escaped from the nunnery, not the monster she became after her death. lest they come again to evil. ”

Yu Qi said: "Sister-in-law thinks it's the people in the nunnery who are in the house?" Or do you think it's a monster? ”

The eldest grandmother looked at Yu Qi in surprise: "What does the girl think?" ”

Yu Qi shook his head and said, "I don't believe in monster theory. Can you say that the people in the nunnery, who can greet the red-haired fox? Aren't you also said to be a youkai in the hermitage? In the world, foxes are red, I have never heard of them, but I have heard of them with white hair. From childhood to adulthood, I heard about a red-haired fox for the first time in Xianyuanan, and now, there is a red-haired fox in Zhuangfu, and I can't help but think of that place. ”

The eldest grandmother said, "I think the same as the girl." ”

Yu Qi said: "So, I want to go to Beifu to have a look." After all, the red-haired fox first appeared in Beifu. ”

The eldest grandmother said worriedly: "Girl, Beifu should move around less." He took a deep look at Zisu and said with a smile: "Miss Su doesn't want the girl to happen again." My heart is the same as that of a plain girl. ”

After hearing this, although Zisu was moved in his heart, he still couldn't forgive the eldest grandmother for tending to the Cao family and betraying Yu Qi to marry into Dongfu. She always thought that the eldest grandmother was a person who had a careful calculation, planned her future for herself early, and climbed the high branches. Therefore, Zisu looks down on the big grandmother.

At this time, Zi Suyin Fengyang violated: "Beifu should go less, Dongfu Chaoyang, it doesn't hurt to go to Dongfu more." The girl listened to the grandmother right. ”

Yu Qi smiled slightly: "I was excited last night, and I didn't think about it so much. Now that you're all saying that, then I have to beg my sister-in-law. If it is convenient for my sister-in-law, I will go to Beifu for a walk and explore to see what the situation is. If the red-haired fox is an animal, that's it, if it's really an old person in the nunnery, we find out the details in advance, and we are not afraid to bump into it in the future, so as to prevent it from happening. Otherwise, we'll be here all day scared. ”

Here, what Yu Qi is telling is the truth, but also a lie, in the final analysis, she wants to know if the red-haired fox is Linglong, and if Linglong is Jin Yilang!

The eldest grandmother nodded and agreed.

The stone in Yu Qi's heart fell, which was very comforting.

At this moment, the girl beeswax knocked on the door outside and reported: "Grandma, there is a fight outside." ”

The eldest grandmother turned her head slightly to the door and replied: "Who is it?" ”

Beeswax replied: "It seems to be someone from the big girl's place, I don't know what it's called, Aunt Xi and our aunt are also there!" ”

The eldest grandmother pondered for half a minute.

When Yu Qi heard this, she felt that it was not good to stay for a long time, so she got up to say goodbye, and when she saw that the eldest grandmother was frowning and thinking, she said to her: "Sister-in-law is not good to go out, so send someone to tell the eldest brother to let the eldest brother come forward." Don't wade into such muddy waters. ”

The eldest grandmother nodded, sighed, squeezed some smiles out, and said to Yu Qi: "Uncle doesn't care about this, I really asked him to go out and take care of it, and I don't know what will happen." Then he got up.

A few people walked out of the warm house and saw the girl Beeswax standing under the door with a panicked face.

Beeswax said: "Grandma, otherwise, we won't go out!" ”

The eldest grandmother turned her head to look at Yu Li, who nodded, also trying to persuade her not to go out.

The grandmother shook her head, lifted her skirt, and went outside. At that moment, there was a fierce quarrel outside the park.

Yu Qi was not at ease, so she lifted her dress and wanted to follow, but Ke Zisu and Sanxi grabbed her. Yu Qi pushed their hands away and hurriedly followed behind the grandmother.

Sanxi and Zisu were so anxious that they grabbed their hands and stomped their feet.
