Chapter Twenty-Four: "Chaos" in the Twilight

Red Sleeves opened the paper and looked at it, and anger flashed in his eyes, how can he be like this for a junior! Regardless of whether Shen Laozu had done something wrong or not, she was an old man now, and she was already very old, how could she write such a thing on her birthday.

She handed the paper to Yunxiang: "Put it away." The voice was calm, and there was no intention of having a seizure.

It's not that Shen Laozu is not angry, but there are guests in front and relatives in the back, how can he make housework at this time? Red Sleeves understood Shen Laozu's thoughts.

Yun Xiang stared at the words on the paper several times, and muttered: "This word looks a little like the four young 'milk' and 'milk'; It's just that it's a little different when hooking the corners and closing the pen. ”

Red sleeves "rubbed" and "rubbed" his forehead: "Don't pay attention to these for now." She also doesn't look like the four young 'milk' and 'milk'.

But what does such a piece of paper mean?

Although Redsleeves wanted to think carefully, her mind was dizzy from sleepiness, and she fell asleep on the couch after a while.

When Shen Laozu got up early the next morning, he was still smiling and talking to the second wife and the aunts; The second lady and her aunt are going to say goodbye and go back.

Shen Laozu stayed with them for two more days, and some of them insisted on resigning, and some stayed; But three or five days later, there was not a single guest in the house.

After sending away Shen's second grandfather's family, Shen Laozu fell ill.

She was already angry on the day of her birthday, but she just kept holding on; Now that the guests were gone, she could no longer hold back her anger and lay down on the bed.

Doctor Moshen opened the prescription and said, "The old man is old, it's best not to make her angry; Otherwise, I will ...... if I am afraid of it a few times," Old Marquis Shen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

The matter of that piece of paper is finally on the table. Of course, the four young "milk" and "milk" were called, and the handwriting was very similar to hers.

Seeing those two sentences, the four young "milk" and "milk" didn't take it seriously, but when they heard that it was a birthday celebration, when they were taken out by Shen Laozu from the birthday ceremony, their faces changed greatly: "It's none of my business!" ”

Old Marquis Shen and the others all sank like water, and no one spoke.

Paper is extremely common, and the paper that is available in every study room of the Shen Mansion; Ink is also very common ink, but there is no such ink in the two large study rooms in the house, because this ink has a kind of fragrance that the daughter's family loves, which is too soft, but this kind of ink is available in the small study rooms of each room of the inner house.

Neither paper nor ink could be found, and handwriting became the only clue to be found.

Red Sleeves sighed: "It shouldn't be the fourth sister-in-law's doing, this handwriting has obvious traces of modification, and someone should imitate it." ”

The fourth young "milk" and "milk" didn't expect that Red Sleeves would speak for her, and they were slightly stunned and only said that Red Sleeves definitely didn't have a good heart.

Old Marquis Shen saw it and asked Red Sleeves to say this, just to let the four young "milk" and "milk" understand Red Sleeves' personality, and stop always looking for trouble for Red Sleeves.

There are not many people who can imitate the handwriting of the four young "milk" and "milk" in the Shen Mansion; Like Mengyun and Mengqi, they practiced calligraphy together with the four young "milk" and "milk"; There are also Jiang's, Ding's, An's and other daughters-in-law who have passed the door early, and they are also common Mengyun, Mengqi, and Sishao's words "milk" and "milk".

It's just that it's hard to tell which one this character is imitated.

In order to treat everyone equally, Mrs. Shen asked the girl to collect the words of all the girls and daughters-in-law in the inner house to compare: they are all old manuscripts.

As a result of the comparison, the brushstrokes are a little like frost, and there are also a few points like red sleeves!

Red Sleeves had read the word carefully, and he already knew it; What she was worried about wasn't the words, but what had happened since Frostfrost got married.

From Mengmei's death, to the inexplicable witch Gu, to the paper that appeared during the birthday celebration: all this is like a net covering the back house of the Shen Mansion; She felt as if the goal of the net was herself, as if it was not just herself.

Mengmei's death is not directed to Red Sleeves, but it is also related to Red Sleeves: because it was Red Sleeves who turned people away, it caused Mengmei's tragic death;

The matter of witch Gu, the person pointing to seems to be red sleeves, but then he couldn't find the witch doll at all, Bai Yichen has been staring at it for a month, and he has not seen Si Shao's "milk" and "milk" practicing witchcraft;

The last piece of paper seems to point to the four young "milk" and "milk", but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the word is imitation of the four young "milk" and "milk"; But there is imitation in imitation, and the meaning of the word is actually a little like frost, and a little like red sleeves - it's hard to say that frost is not imitation.

Everything seems to have something to do with Red Sleeves, but it doesn't seem to have to hurt Red Sleeves; And all of this, it is impossible to find out who did it.

What Red Sleeves wrote may have been ruled out in the end, because those one or two points were considered to be imitations under the evaluation of everyone: but it seems that it has not been long since I learned the words of Red Sleeves, so the imitations are not very similar.

Shuangshuang's brushstrokes are actually not difficult to imitate, but she married into the Shen Mansion not long ago, if anyone can imitate her brushstrokes to a certain extent, it is that someone is imitating Shuangshuang's words every day.

If there is one of the inner relatives who writes every day, how can it be a small novelty, but I have never heard anyone mention it; It's not impossible to practice quietly, but what about the paper on which you write? Where did she get the paper? Even if it burns down, it will smoke and have a fire.

Red Sleeves couldn't help but "rub" his forehead again: three things in a row, all of them seemed to have clues, but when they were examined carefully, they were a mess.

Old Marquis Shen took the word Shuangshuang and the piece of paper to the Criminal Department, and later only said to a few masters in the long room: "That word is not written by Shuangshuang, it is someone who imitates the words of Shuangshuang; There are old pen stickers and very experienced head catchers all say this, although there is no evidence, but they are all the same words based on experience; ”

"They said that the original meaning of the words of Frost looked very straightforward, and although the words on this paper were similar to the meaning of the penmanship, they had a bit of a faint meaning."

Red Sleeves glanced at the words on the two pieces of paper when he heard this, but he didn't see the straightforwardness or the faint meaning: these ancient head catchers did not have the help of modern instruments, but they all practiced a pair of poisonous eyes.

Shen Miaoge hated: "Who could that be?" ”

Shen Houye looked at his son: "You can investigate this matter." I can't '' much if I'm pregnant, and your grandfather and I are busy with border adjustments, so we don't have much time; This person must be found! ”

Shen Miaoge nodded heavily.

Red Sleeves suddenly said: "It's better to use this matter to confine the frost; Well, it's better to keep Frost in the temple and arrange for her henchmen to take care of her daily life—she's pregnant. ”

Everyone looked at the red sleeves, and Mrs. Shen said slowly: "Do you think someone wants to harm Frost?" ”

Red Sleeves shook his head slightly: "It's just a precaution; The words on the paper are too ...... to imitate, so it is better to count them as they are. ”

If it is said that this matter is done by Shuangshuang, the punishment of just the grounding is too light; Fortunately, Frost is pregnant, so it is really logical to let her go to the Buddha Hall.

Shen Lao Houye and the others had no opinion, but they didn't directly say that the words on the paper were written by Shuangshuang: they didn't say anything, just let Shuangshuang go to the Buddha Hall to recuperate-in this way, some people would be more convinced that Shuangshuang was punished for the words on the day of his birthday.

Everyone thinks that there is no need to tell the truth to Frost, because Frost is really not enough for the city, and they are afraid that people will see their flaws after telling her.

So Shuangshuang was very aggrieved and cried and went to the Buddhist hall. Except for asking her to keep a personal girl, the others are Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen's people: even the people with red sleeves don't have one.

Only the sixth lady reported the grievances of Frost: "That child is a intestine, where can she have so many twists and turns?" And if she wants to learn to write the characters of the old four families, she won't learn to be like that. ”

Red Sleeves just sighed: "People can't look good." ”

The Sixth Lady glanced at her with disgust, not believing that Red Sleeves would treat Frost like this: Frost often mixed in her house on weekdays.

"You're not going to send something to that poor child? She is happy but locked up in the Buddha hall, and she is in a bad mood in case she ......, alas——! The Sixth Lady sighed.

Redsleeves nodded: "Send some supplements." "Anyway, the people in each room in the house have sent supplements, clothes and something to Shuangshuang, and the Jiang family and the second lady also have a share.

In just a few days, Yunxiang and others found out some news; A few days ago in the courtyard of the second lady, I heard that some paper is often burned, but it is not clear what kind of paper it is.

Shen Miaoge muttered, "Why is it the second aunt again?" ”

Red Sleeves is also strange at this; Just like the last time Jiang and Shen Er Ye were able to meet, it was also because of the second lady's words that the mansion was empty: otherwise, it would be impossible for Jiang and Shen Er Ye to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Why, there are more or less shadows of the second lady in several things?

Shen Miaoge looked at the red sleeves: "Let Yunxiang and them inquire, on the day when Mengmei fell into the water, when the third aunt's family moved, the second lady did nothing." ”

Red Sleeves also had such thoughts, so he told Yunxiang a few girls and sent them out to play; She and Shen Miaoge played Shuanglu in bed.

Red Sleeves was not Shen Miaoge's opponent, and he lost two games of chess in a row; She messed up the chessboard, and in the third game, she made peace, and when Shen Miaoge was reasoning with her, the curtain opened: "Master, the second lady is here." ”

Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge glanced at each other, and hurriedly got up to greet them: "Why is Auntie here at this time?" ”

The second lady smiled: "Come to you to eat." She looked at the red sleeves: "The family, I don't listen to how many times I say, so I don't dare to come next time; How good is it for you to wait in the house? ”

Sitting down while talking, the second lady really stayed to eat, and kept talking and laughing, although there was some depression in her look, she never said anything else; I didn't leave Redsleeves until the second half of the day.

The second lady left on the front foot, and Yun Xiang said: "The second lady and the second master are angry, I heard the little girl in their yard say that the second master has a big temper, so the second lady came out and never went back." ”

Red Sleeves said: "Because of what? ”

Yunxiang shook her head: "That girl is also a rough man, and I didn't hear what their husband and wife were arguing about; But there is a strange thing, I don't know if it's true or not, I heard that the second master raised an outer room outside. ”

Hearing this, Shen Miaoge's surprised eyes almost fell to the ground: Second uncle? How can it be! Remember the permanent address of Q Pig Literature Station: for easy reading next time!
