Chapter 42: Doubts
After getting off the bus, there was a sedan chair waiting outside. After everyone took the car to the inner house, it was Qin Keqing, the grandmother of Ningguo Mansion, who came to greet them.
Qin Keqing was delicate and delicate, and stepped forward to Wang Xifeng to bow down: "I've seen Aunt Lian." He looked up and smiled. She was already born charming, and this smile is even more charming.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Why did you come to greet you in person?" Just call a mother-in-law to pick us up, why don't you bask in the sun outside. ”
Qin Keqing said: "Auntie is here, how can I not welcome her." I was ashamed that I couldn't pick you up at Rongguo Mansion. ”
Wang Xifeng liked her attitude and took her hand to speak. When all the girls got off the sedan chair, a group of mermaids entered the house.
Today's begging festival is organized by Grandma Zhen's You family, and it is well organized. She saw the girls talking and laughing, and whispered to the maids to put more candied fruits up for the girls to eat.
Because of the begging festival, there are a lot of embroidery hanging in the house, there are bright colors and a wide variety of Cantonese embroidery, birds jump on it. There are gorgeous and gentle Suzhou embroidery, and all kinds of flowers are blooming one after another. There are delicate and gorgeous Shu embroidery, and the fish with different colors on both sides play in the water vividly. There are also realistic and bright Hunan embroidery, and the plants and plants are stretched and structured.
Tanchun sighed: "It's strange that the big brother has a lot of collections here, and only when you look at these things today do you know that what you say is true, and they are all high-quality products." ”
Qin Keqing said with a smile: "The third aunt praised it falsely, where is there such a powerful thing you say?" It also coincides with the Begging Festival today, offering Qiao Niangniang, and taking out some inventory for the sisters to play, nothing should be done. ”
Xichun immediately twisted his eyebrows: "If you praise Rong's nephew, it's okay for you to say this." Now it's your father-in-law and nephew and daughter-in-law who are praising you, isn't it too much to talk about it? ”
Qin Keqing choked, and the atmosphere in the room instantly froze.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly smiled and played a round game: "My fourth sister usually talks like this, just don't open her mouth, one mouth is really angry." As he spoke, he looked at Ping'er.
Ping'er was standing in the corner waiting, and at this time he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Do the four girls want to eat tea?" I'll pour you one. ”
Xichun was indignant: "One or two of them seem to be wrong." Count me in on my mouth! And when he threw off his veil, he went out of the house.
Jia Xuanwu ate the fruit and ignored the stubble at all.
Before the spring, I was too busy to take care of myself, so naturally I didn't take a few more eyes at the spring. Now she is doing well on the side of the black throttle, and she gets along well with her sister Sister Xuan, and when she looks at Xichun again, she can't help but put herself in the other party's shoes, and can't help muttering softly: "It's not like my own house over there, there are people everywhere." When I returned to my own home, I felt like a guest. The fourth sister is not easy. ”
Jia Xuan glanced at the place where Xichun left.
However, Xichun has always had indescribable hostility towards her, and she just looked at it and gave up.
You Shi saw that Xichun was alone in the courtyard, so he asked people to put snacks and tea on the stone table in the courtyard, and called two maids to serve them.
Wang Xifeng pouted at Qin Keqing: "Look at your mother-in-law, she can't even speak." Wouldn't you bring people in after a few words of persuasion? It's not outside, but it seems to be instigating the sister-in-law to oppose others. ”
Qin Keqing whispered: "Auntie doesn't know, everyone outside says that my mother-in-law is a gourd with a sawed mouth, and she is not willing to say anything about anything." ”
Wang Xifeng chuckled: "Where did this statement come from?" It's funny, I'll make a note of it. ”
Yingchun saw that Tanchun was watching those embroideries, and knew that the third sister knew a lot, so he leaned over and asked a few words.
Jia Xuan took several of the snacks he thought were delicious, and secretly stuffed them into the plate in front of Lin Daiyu.
Lin Daiyu covered her lips and smiled: "You just eat like a pig doll, why bother to harm me?" That being said, because it was given to her by Sister Xuan, she couldn't help but eat three or four more.
It is indeed delicious, sweet but not greasy, and the taste is refreshing and delicate.
Jia Xuan leaned over and leaned in front of her and said, "I think it's better for us to talk less in this place." The mouth is here, since you have to talk less, you will naturally eat more. ”
Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing. She picked up a candied fruit and stuffed it into Jia Xuan's mouth: "You have to plug your mouth, everything is like a thorn, it's amazing." ”
Jia Xuan was not to be outdone: "I didn't stab you left and right, what is my sister afraid of." ”
Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing.
Wang Xifeng heard the movement here, and raised his voice and asked, "What funny things are you talking about?" It's better to speak out and make everyone happy. ”
Lin Daiyu said: "The fifth sister thought of the loss of silver here, and her little head thought that she didn't have a charter, and she was worried." ”
Jia Xuan was startled, his mouth was heavier under the fruit he bitten, his upper and lower teeth fought, he bit his lip and felt sore, and reached out to twist Lin Daiyu.
Lin Daiyu said "oops", and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she smiled and said, "Sister Xuan was annoyed and angry when I told me about the matter." ”
Jia Xuan deliberately looked at her sideways.
Lin Daiyu smiled and turned her head sideways and whispered, "You dare to say that you don't want to know?" ”
"Yes." Jia Xuan generously admitted.
Lin Daiyu clapped her hands and said, "That's not it." I'm right, I guessed your mind, and you still have to worry about me, so why bother. ”
Jia Xuan was so angry and funny, he had nothing to do with her, so he had to glare at her and then turned to look at Qin Keqing.
Wang Xifeng remembered this stubble at this time, and said to Qin Keqing: "What the hell is going on with that?" I wanted to ask about it before, but I forgot about it after I had something else. His eyes swept to the place where he was looking out.
Xichun is drinking tea and eating fruits outside, seemingly at ease, but in fact he is lonely.
"It's a bit strange to say that, too." Qin Keqing said: "The silver was placed in the house, and at the beginning it was placed in the account room, and it was inexplicably lost a dozen taels. The bookkeeper said that he didn't take it, so he put the tray of cash in the public and left it at his mother-in-law's. The result is less and less. My father-in-law reprimanded my mother-in-law, and I said a few words of love to my mother-in-law, and the tray was placed here. The father-in-law asked Xiangzhu to guard it, but who knew that it was less again. The father-in-law said that Xiangzhu stole it, and let people beat him half to death and throw it into the firewood room. ”
Jia Xuanruo was only curious before, but now he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Didn't Xiangzhu refute it?" ”
"Nope." Qin Keqing shook his head: "I also said that if it is really Xiangzhu, it may be used for the second and third time." The first time she lost money was in the outer courtyard, how did she do it as a maid in the inner house? But she didn't deny it, and I couldn't help her, so I could only watch this. ”
Yingchun turned around and said, "Then you don't check it carefully?" ”
"How do you check?" Qin Keqing smiled bitterly: "The second and third time, the courtyard where the silver was put sent to patrol the night. Especially for the third time, there are auspicious beads in the house, and there are mother-in-law and maids in the courtyard outside the house. If it is said that there are thieves who go in, and there are no others, I don't believe it. ”
