Chapter 12 Trying to get into the palace
Dai Qiu knew that the Qin clan would summon him today, so he was ready early in the morning, just waiting for the little maid to knock on the door and pass the word.
The ladies didn't see any of them as usual, except for Mrs. Qin, there were only Aunt Wang and Mother Han in the house, all with serious faces.
Dai Qiu was about to salute, but was waved away by the Qin family.
Mother Han came over in person to help Daiqiu get up, squeezed out a faint smile, and said in her ear: "You come closer, Madame has something to say to you." ”
Dai Qiu bowed his head respectfully, his eyes lowered and walked to stand in front of the Qin clan.
The Qin clan stretched out his hand, Dai Qiu was stunned for a moment, and still put his hand in the Qin clan's palm.
With tears in his eyes, Qin said, "My son, it's hard for you to plan for me so wholeheartedly, and I have nothing to believe in you from now on." ”
Dai Qiu was also full of emotion, "Madame is the safety and honor of everyone in the Xi Mansion, I should be vigilant, slaves and maids are useless, they can only contribute to some trivial matters, but they have never been able to find out who is behind the framing of the old men, and I am ashamed of my trust in Madame." ”
The two faced each other again and said a lot of things in their hearts, which caused Wang and Han's mother on the side to cry frequently.
Dai Qiu collected his tears and said, "Dare to ask Madame, do you have eyebrows about entering the palace to see your concubine?" ”
The Qin clan was worried about this matter, the palace gate was tightly closed, and it was very uncommon to see that after the sign was handed in, it sank into the sea.
I originally planned to deliver another letter today, but I didn't think about it, but I received a decree from the palace, the noble concubine was in poor health, and the foreign woman was not allowed to enter the palace to see her, so as not to be infected and prolong the illness.
Dai Qiu hurriedly said: "Madame, don't worry, Niangniang can't summon Madame into the palace to meet, Madame can also take the initiative to send people from the house to visit your concubine and send some medicine or something." ”
Han's mother also said: "Dai Qiu is right, although our family has never done this, but other high-ranking families have always sent maids in the palace to visit your lord on behalf of you, why don't you let Dai Qiu enter the palace for a visit, so as to see what the situation in the palace is now." ”
The Qin clan also felt that there was no better way than this, and held Dai Qiu's hand again and said, "In this way, I have to make it difficult for you anymore." ”
It is said that it is to enter the palace to deliver medicine, but it is not so easy, you have to report to the internal affairs department in advance, hand over the name and resume of the maid who entered the palace, and guarantee that the identity is correct, before you can temporarily enter the palace ban.
As for when to come out after entering, there are also strict rules, and if you make a mistake, you can't do it.
After the two sides agreed, it was decided to send Dai Qiu into the palace, and Dai Qiu returned to the hospital early to prepare.
Xi Fangyu had already heard about last night's incident, and was clamoring to go to the firewood room to kill Xiangxue, but was persuaded by Xi Congshu, who rushed to hear the news.
"You are angry, it's easy to beat and scold people, just to kill her, why bother you to do it yourself, you have to lose your identity for no reason, don't be like this, let people spread it out and laugh at you again."
Xi Fangyu was furious, threw another bowl of teacup, pointed to the blue sky outside and scolded angrily: "There is such a beast who eats inside and outside, and he dares to steal men behind my back, and I am still afraid of people's jokes?" Whoever dares to laugh at me, then I wish her all the best for the rest of her life, and such filthy things can't fall on her head! ”
Xi Cong was angry and funny, and said: "Fortunately, the matter was intercepted before it happened, and now that the truth is revealed, your reputation is completely undamaged, you can still be so angry, if there is anything wrong with the arrest last night, then you are not going to be angry?" ”
Xi Fang sat aside angrily and didn't say a word.
Xi Congshu took the rock sugar pear cup brought by the peach branch, tried the temperature of the tea wall, and thought it was appropriate, so he brought it to Xi Fangyu and said with a smile: "The atmosphere hurts the body, don't think about it first, it's only serious to drink this bowl of pears." ”
Xi Fangyu suddenly held Xi Congshu's hands, and said distressedly: "Second sister, after last night's incident, our two families can be regarded as completely falling out, what can you do about your marriage with the son of the Jia family?" ”
Xi Congshu's white and round face was open-minded and unconcerned, and she smiled lightly and said: "This matter is decided by her mother, and it is okay." ”
When Dai Qiu entered the door, he happened to hear Xi Congshu's words.
instantly thought that in a dream, after Xifu was raided, the second girl suffered a lot of displacement, first abandoned by Jia Congjian treacherously, and then resold again.
The rest of her life has not been a day of peace, but she is rarely sad, she has always been this knowledgeable, weak and tenacious appearance, as if the person who has suffered a lot of hardships is not herself.
The second girl who is not shocked by such a pampering insult, where is Jia Congjian's well-dressed beast, who can be so worthy.
Seeing Dai Qiu coming in, Xi Fangyu hurriedly stood up and walked over and asked, "What did Mother say?" Did you say that you want to go to Jia's house to ask for an explanation? ”
Dai Qiu said with a smile: "Madame instructed to let the third girl calm down and say that she has everything in her hand." ”
Xi Fangyu had nowhere to vent his enthusiasm, so he had to ask people to bring Lan Gui and the others who were in collusion with Xiangxue to the upper room.
Fa Luo said: "I have always been a bit harsh, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can bring it up in front of the gong, if it is my fault, I should give you an explanation, I can also apologize, but I will not allow anyone to completely ignore the feelings of the master and servant, and stab me in the back." ”
She resolutely asked Lebo to lead five or six little maids out to sell, no matter how Lan Gui and the others cried and begged, they didn't change half of their attention, and only threw down a sentence: "You knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?" Do you know that it is difficult to recover? ”
When Xue Changji came in, he happened to see Lebo leading people outside, shaking the folding fan and laughing as he walked inside, and said with a smile: "The third sister is still angry." ”
Xi Congshu and Dai Qiu both greeted Xue Changji, Xi Fangyu was taking the ice handkerchief handed by the little maid to apply the face, and when he saw Xue Changji coming in, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he only said: "Why did Xue Gongzi come early in the morning?" ”
Xue Changji stared at Xi Fangyu's pink and clear little face, a little unable to take his eyes off, and said with a smile: "I have already gone to the main courtyard to ask the old lady to say goodbye, and I am worried about the third sister, so I came to take a look." ”
Although Xi Fangyu felt that he had lost face in front of Xue Changji when he came out last night, he was not a person who didn't know what to do, and when he heard the words, he got up and bowed solemnly to Xue Changji: "My maid has told me, thank you Xue Gongzi for your help." ”
Xi Congshu also followed his sister and bowed to Xue Changji.
Xue Changji supported one with one hand, and said with a very shy smile: "It's just a gesture, the two sisters must not be like this." ”
Dai Qiu smiled and pulled Xi Congshu and said: "It is said that the second girl is the best at needlework, since the girl is here, please go to my room to help see the stitches." ”
Xi Congshu looked at the two people behind Dai Qiu, met Dai Qiu's eyes, smiled and nodded and said yes.
