Chapter 10: Big Melon (2)

"Can you hear it here?"

Geng Xingchen put his ear close to the courtyard wall and listened carefully, I don't know if the people inside didn't speak, or the voice was too quiet, anyway, she didn't hear anything.

"You can't hear it, I can't hear it, well, Bai Zhi shouldn't be able to hear it either."

"Fifth sister, you haven't even tried?"

Geng Xingchen was a little aggrieved, "I can't hear you, what are we doing here?" ”

After getting the news from Pomegranate that Geng Xingbing had indeed entered the main house, they went around to a crape myrtle tree on the west side of the main courtyard, which was the closest location to the back window of the main house.

Of course, this is what Geng Xingshuang said, Geng Xingchen has never done anything to eavesdrop before.

Thinking of this, Geng Xingchen looked at Geng Xingshuang in surprise, the fifth sister knows this, is it ......

Geng Xingchen's thoughts were almost written on his face, where could Geng Xingshuang not understand.

"My ears are not much better than yours, I can't hear, but someone can hear."

"Is it a curtain? Hey, where's the curtain? ”

Geng Xingchen found that the curtain that had been following Geng Xingshuang had disappeared.

"Girl, the curtain just left."

When leaving the gate of the main courtyard, Bai Zhi saw that the five girls gave the curtain a look, and the curtain left quickly, but her own girl didn't say anything, so she naturally didn't dare to ask.

Unexpectedly, her own girl didn't notice that the curtain left at all.

Bai Zhi thought that the third wife had always wanted to marry the sixth girl into Yongqing Houfu, and felt heavy in her heart, the sixth girl was so honest and simple, if she entered a high-door and deep house like Yongqing Houfu, and lived in that group of mothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law who all wanted to grow a hundred and ten hearts, Bai Zhi couldn't imagine what her girl would be bullied into.

"It's coming!"

Jin Bao suddenly spoke, Bai Zhi came back to her senses, she subconsciously looked at Geng Xingshuang, but she didn't expect Geng Xingshuang to also happen to look at her, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in her eyes.

Bai Zhi was slightly shocked in her heart, feeling that in this short moment, the five girls seemed to have seen through her inner thoughts.

"Is it Jinbao?"

Geng Xingchen reacted quickly this time, she knew that Jinbao had a lot of strength, could it be that her ears were also very good.

"Jinbao, quick, listen to what is going on inside?"

Geng Xingshuang beckoned to Jinbao, although Jinbao looked round, but her movements were sensitive, and she scurried under the crape myrtle tree with a sting, and she didn't have to put her ears against the courtyard wall like Geng Xingchen did, and she heard the sound coming from the main house.

"Grandmother, granddaughter thought about it all morning, and it was really ...... I really can't watch the sinking water fall to such a situation, so ...... So...... Can you bring the sinking water back? ”

Jin Bao repeated the words from the main house word for word, this is Geng Xingbing speaking.

"Third girl, have you told your mother about this?"

Jin Bao lowered his voice, and his voice became old and deep, this was Xia Shi speaking.

"Grandmother, this is the private money I saved, I heard that the value of Shenshui is fifty taels, these should be enough."

"The third sister is really rich."

Geng Xingchen muttered in a low voice, she suddenly had a hunch that she had a high probability that she was the poorest of the unmarried little ladies in this house.

Others say they are poor, but they are not necessarily poor, she doesn't say they are poor, she is really poor.

"Jinbao, can't you hear me?"

Seeing that Jinbao didn't speak for a long time, Geng Xingchen was puzzled.

Jinbao shook his head, "No one speaks now." ”

After a silence of about ten breaths, Campbell began to repeat it again.

"Third girl, don't you know what Madame is raising money for? You have the money, why didn't you take it out sooner? ”

This is Qiao's mother questioning, as a subordinate, Qiao's mother is naturally unruly to do this, but if it is with the acquiescence or even the indication of Mrs. Bo, she is solving problems for her master.

Geng Xingbing knew that if he took out fifty taels of silver, he would definitely be suspected and questioned.

But her brain was too messy, Tan's mother's words were like a thunderbolt splitting her head, and at that moment, her world was shattered, she almost thought that there was something wrong with her ears, or her brain was really broken, she could only see Tan's mother's mouth open and closed in front of her, with anxiety and ...... Ruthless.

and the previous mother Tan who loved her very much.

But she still listened to Tan's mother's words, and her chaotic brain began to calm down gradually.

She didn't know if what Mother Tan said was true, but she didn't dare and couldn't take this risk.

So she must save the sinking water, she must stabilize Mother Tan first, as for the future, as long as she is given time, it can always be solved.

"How did the third sister answer?"

Seeing that Jinbao didn't move for a long time, Geng Xingchen couldn't help but ask.

Jinbao: "Woo woo woo ......"

Geng Xingchen was puzzled, and looked at Geng Xingshuang with some weakness, could it be that Jinbao didn't hear the words clearly just now, when she asked like this, it hit her, and she actually cried?

Geng Xingshuang smiled, "It should be the third sister who is crying." ”

Jin Bao nodded, "It's the third girl who cried, but she spoke now." ”

"What are you talking about?" Geng Xingshuang's eyes were shining, and she was curious, what medicine did Geng Xingbing take today, and she even used the crying trick, didn't she always look down on this kind of petty behavior?

Geng Xingchen felt that the light in the eyes of the fifth sister was like ...... Like the sun in summer, she couldn't help but want to retreat from the scorching heat.

"Woooooooooo......oo I know...... Grandmothers are all for the father to go further, and the father ...... It's for us children, I know that grandmothers and granddaughters are not the kind of people who don't know how to be important and don't know how to be grateful, but ...... But grandmother, the sinking is ...... Be...... My father's daughter is my granddaughter's sister and your own granddaughter...... As for the fifty taels of silver, every time I go to my grandmother's house, my grandmother gives me pocket money, and my granddaughter knows that the family is not rich, so she has not been willing to spend it, and it is also for emergency use, and this time I was going to take it out, but then I learned that my little silver was not enough at all, and my grandmother and mother also thought of a way, so they didn't mention it for the time being. ”

Jin Bao retold Geng Xingbing's words in the main house almost word for word, whether it was Xia's and Qiao's mother in the house, or Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen, Bai Zhi and others outside the house, they were all stunned by Geng Xingbing's words.

"What did the third sister say?"

"What did you say?"

Geng Xingchen and Jin Bao's voices sounded almost at the same time.

Of course, Jinbao is a retelling of the words of Mrs. Xia.

Geng Xingshuang had a hunch that Geng Xingbing might say something she didn't know but was very interested in today, but she didn't expect this melon to be so big.

She waved her hand and motioned for Geng Xingchen to keep silent and continue listening.

"I said the silver was ......"

"Who asked you about the money? Sinking water is the second seed, who told you this? ”

Geng Xingbing couldn't tell from Xia's face whether she knew about it, so she had to follow what Tan's mother taught her: "Yes...... Yan's mother said that when the family bought someone, Yan's mother knew that Shen Shui was her father's child, so even if Shen Shui was only two years old at that time, she bought her. ”

"Yan? How did she find out? Who was born to sink into the water? When did she tell you about it? ”

Xia's question after question, Geng Xingbing seemed to be blinded by these questions, and only replied after a while: "My granddaughter doesn't know how Yan's mother knew about this, who is Shenshui's mother, and my granddaughter doesn't know, it wasn't Yan's mother who took the initiative to tell me, it was a chat between Yan's mother and Liu Dazhu's house before, and my granddaughter happened to pass by and accidentally heard it."

Grandmother...... When my granddaughter knew that Shen Shui was going to be taken away by Mrs. Yu, I didn't dare to say it, I was indeed selfish, I was afraid that my father would know about partiality, and I was afraid that my mother would know that I was sad, so I kept hesitating and didn't dare to say it, but ...... But this morning, the granddaughter was really uncomfortable, and she couldn't bear it, so she ...... That's why ...... Please also ask your grandmother to put her body first and not be too angry, if she is really angry, she will ...... Just hit your granddaughter! ”

Although Geng Xingshuang Geng Xingchen and the others couldn't see the situation in the house, they could also imagine that there should be such a scene inside at this moment: Geng Xingbing had tears in his eyes, kneeling and stretching out his hands, indicating that he could be punished, Xia's face was iron-blue, and Qiao's mother and Lu Wu and the others looked silent.
