Chapter 9: Eavesdropping

Suddenly realizing that her hands and feet could move, Zi Ning hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, holding back her breath. Fortunately, the attention of the people in the room was fixed on the broken glass cup, and no one knew that there was a person hidden in the clothes box.

Secretly exhaling, Zi Ning thought to herself: "What kind of place is this house, I heard a noisy voice, and it seems that there are many people present. ”

At this time, the two sect guides hurriedly entered the house, and saw the frost goose kneeling on the ground, and the ground was full of fragments of glass cups. A grandmother shouted: "Little ancestor, what's the matter, it's easy for the county lord to get angry and beat and scold people, and he threw the things rewarded by the emperor, but how is it good?"

Another grandmother hurriedly bent down to pick up the pieces, with an extremely regretful look on her face, and said: "This is what the prince got from the tribute of Fanbang, and the emperor only rewarded the palace with two pieces, and this time one was broken, and it was a pair." ”

The clothes box was narrow and dark, Zi Ning curled up tightly, and when she heard them speak, she was even more surprised, and thought: "Could it be the county lord's house, she just dropped something valuable, she must have lost her temper." A bad thought immediately flashed through his mind, and he hid in the county lord's suitcase, in case someone found out, he couldn't tell clearly. The poisoned injustice has been cleared, and she suddenly appeared in the county lord's house again, how to explain it?

said that she was robbed by a girl with strong martial arts, who would believe her words!

A terrible thought was captured in her mind, could it be that the girl deliberately threw her into the county lord's box, and when someone came to the box to find something, she would definitely be found. Let her be speechless, and give her another sting crime, this time even the eldest princess can't save her.

Suddenly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her body, and she suddenly felt in her heart, the girl was ruthless, what should I do, if I didn't know how to die here in vain, wouldn't it be too wrong. His mind was in a mess, and although his hands and feet could move, his body was so numb that it was impossible to escape.

"Smack!"

The little county lord slapped on the couch table, and scolded the two grandmothers fiercely: "You old goods, are you from the Cailan Pavilion? I only know distressed things, but I don't want me to suffer many grievances." Now that I've dropped something, you're screaming like this, one day I'm going to let myself out and throw myself, so that you have nowhere to cry!"

The two mammas hurriedly stepped forward and comforted them repeatedly. Shuang Yan saw that the county lord's apricot eyes were wide, her eyebrows were upside down, and her face was flushed, she was really angry, she quickly got up, coaxed the county lord and said: "For such an inferior girl, don't be angry." A few of you come over and sweep away these glass fragments, don't upset the county lord. "Instructed the little maids to sweep the floor, but secretly complained in their hearts, it is not a big deal for the county lord to drop the tribute, but if they really hurt themselves one day, I am afraid that they will all be in a catastrophe.

Zi Ning was very familiar with the voice of this maid, it was the girl who robbed her this morning, and thought: "She is actually the maid of the county lord? This is really strange, there must be something strange in it." Curled up in the box and held his breath, listening to what was going on outside.

was making a lot of noise, the door creaked, and a girl in brocade walked in, it was Miss Hongying. Dressed in a cyan rainproof cloak, his hands were gently raised, and the silver cicada following behind quickly closed the umbrella and stepped forward to untie the cloak. Hong Ying smiled and said, "The rain is getting more and more urgent, and it is damp all over my body." At this time, Aunt Ligu also came, and we sat down with the county lord's sister, talking and sulking. ”

Zi Ning hid in the box, and heard a girl's voice soft and delicate, which was indescribably comfortable in her ears. I thought to myself: "Who is this? She is called the county lord's sister, could it be the eldest lady of the palace, Hong Ying? The county lord has a great temper, but this Miss Hong Ying is gentle and kind." She had never seen Hongying before, and when she heard the gentle voice with a smile, she was very charming, and she was secretly surprised in her heart.

Ligu stepped forward to follow the door, raised her eyes and saw the county lord, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "The county lord has been fine for the past two days, the house is full of chaos, and I can't come to ask the county lord for peace, and I hope to forgive my sins." "Secretly looked at the face of the little county lord, with a resentment in the paleness, just now I saw the little maid sweeping out a pile of broken glass, and I guessed a few points, knowing that the county lord was angry and dropped something, most of which was related to Zining's matter.

The two mammas hurriedly smiled and said, "It's just right that Aunt Li and Miss Hongying came, and they talked to the county lord first, and we retreated first, so we didn't dare to annoy the county lord again." Saying that, he bowed and withdrew, and when he went out, he hurriedly ordered the little maid to hold an umbrella, and hurried to the eldest princess's Zunhua Courtyard to reply, in case the county lord made an accident, they also had something to say.

Hearing that it was Ligu who spoke, Zi Ning couldn't help but shudder, and quickly shrank her head. I thought: "If the road is really narrow, if Aunt Li finds out that I am hiding in the box, I will not spare this time, maybe I will be killed on the spot." ”

Ligu didn't know that there was someone hidden in the box, so she walked around the house and said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't have to worry about things, those bottles and plates were originally used to hold things for the county lord, and it is not worth breaking them." I see that the furnishings of this house are also old, and when I go back to the prince, I will change some new ornaments for the county lord. ”

He turned to the couch table, sat down slowly, and then asked with a smile: "Who is making the county lord angry, say it to me, I will definitely help the county lord to get angry." He raised his hand to pick up the hot tea sent by the little maid, lifted the lid of the teacup, and slowly shhh

Yincia stood aside, rolled her eyes, and said: "How does Aunt Li know, the county lord must be angry with the cook, the day before yesterday, Aunt Xu found the housekeeper and sent a few tailors and embroiderers to make new clothes for her, and even the fragrant brocade from the palace was used." The clothes that our county lord wears on weekdays are only made of silk materials, including good clothes like fragrant brocade, and she is cheaper than a cooking girl. ”

"Bang!" There was a soft sound, Zi Ning's head hit the lid of the box, and he broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, the sound was not loud, and it was far away, and no one in the room paid attention. I thought: "The cook and the cooking girl that this maid said in her mouth, is it me, it turns out that the little county lord is angry because of this." "I secretly feel that it is inappropriate, I have inadvertently offended the county lord, how will I live in the future.

When Aunt Li heard this, she smiled slightly: "This girl Yincicada is still so straightforward and fast-talking. I also know about this, Aunt Xu decided on her own, and the housekeeper felt that it was inappropriate, so she came to ask me what I meant. Hanxiang brocade is the clothes rewarded in the palace, and they are all stored in the library of the eldest princess, how dare I care about these things, if I say more, I will clearly bring trouble to myself. I sent the housekeeper and asked her to ask the eldest princess to show her, but I don't know what the result was, I didn't care about it, and I didn't bother to ask. ”

After speaking, he raised his hand to lift the lid of the teacup, drank the flower tea silently, and thought: "The more such things come out, the better, I didn't know how to mention Zining, but the silver cicada helped a lot and poured another oil on the blazing fire." ”

The silver cicada said hatefully: "I know about this, say it, Ligu will give a comment." The housekeeper's lady went to ask the eldest princess, but the eldest princess agreed, saying that the color of the fragrant brocade was already delicate, and it was time to make clothes for the young girl, and it was also a waste to store it in the warehouse. It's really infuriating, that stinky girl is also worthy?"

The clothes box was so stuffy that Zi Ning couldn't breathe normally, so she could only hold back a wave of anger. What kind of fragrant brocade rewarded in the palace has nothing to do with her, and the maid said that it seems that she deliberately competes for favor in front of the eldest princess.

Zi Ning secretly hated her for adding fuel and vinegar to the side, and thought: "Keep saying that others are stinky girls, hmph, you are just a stinky girl, you are a stinky girl, you specially instigate the county lord behind your back, I have never offended you, why do you want to speak ill of me." ”

She didn't know the relationship between Yincia and Yan's grandmother, not to mention that Yincia was a personal maid who served the county lord, and she had always been competitive.

A cloud of sorrow flashed under the eyes of the little county lord, and his pale face turned away, and he looked out the window in a daze. Motionless for a long time, through the window lattice of raindrops and broken beads, his eyes flashed, as if he saw a bright new dress with fragrant brocade, draped on Zi Ning's shoulders, reflecting a triumphant smile.

Hongying has been watching coldly, silent and silent, and then raised her eyes to glance at the little county lord, and saw that although she was wearing homely clothes, the materials were soft and elegant, and the needlework was delicate and traceless, all of which were graceful and noble. couldn't help but feel nervous, and then turned his head to look at Ligu, and a thick vinegar welled up in his snort.

Under the eaves, the "uproar" flowed into a rain curtain, and a smile appeared on Hongying's face, and she said casually: "I heard some rumors in the past two days, and I just thought that the maids and slaves were jealous, and arranged a call to slander the maid. It turned out that her favor from the eldest princess was real, and the county lord's sister was angry just now, presumably because of this. ”

The little county lord suddenly felt uncomfortable, and frowned slightly, these things were directly said by Hong Ying, and she couldn't help but feel awkward, which made her feel embarrassed.

"Dust off the rainwater from the willow branches, but don't soak the leaves. The little lord diverted the subject, and gently commanded the frost goose, and looked away from the window lattice.

She straightened her back, sat down at the low couch table covered with a gold tassel curtain, stretched out her hand to flick the tassel tassels, stared at the incense burner with curling smoke, and said to herself: "No matter what fragrant brocade she wears, the cheap maid is always a cheap maid, and she can climb the high branches!"

The silver cicada didn't notice the little county lord's changing expression, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "The county lord should tear that stinky girl's mouth!" Han Xiangjin has such a golden cloth, I have never seen it in my life, but let her wear it on her body, how to make people not angry. ”

Turning his head and saying to Hong Ying: "Miss Hong Ying is a gentle and virtuous lady, where would she know the distorted thoughts of the slave, she wants to climb the relationship with the eldest princess, and she is bent on climbing into the inner mansion, how can such a cunning girl with bad intentions spare her!"

Hongying is a shrewd person, and she is quite popular in the mansion, and most of the maids in the Cailan Pavilion are afraid of the little county lord, but they are willing to get close to Miss Hongying, so the silver cicada has no scruples when she speaks. The little county lord was a little displeased, looked up at the silver cicada, and said: "My mother didn't care about that girl, so I compensated her a little and bought her clothes with good materials, which is nothing." She is dressed in fragrant brocade, and she is still a cooking girl in this life. ”

The mouth is talking, but the tips of the fingers are as cold as rain. Hanxiang brocade is the royal clothing in the palace, the queen and the concubine each sent a horse to the palace, which has been stored by the eldest princess, and even the county lord and Hongying did not use Hanxiang brocade to make a set of clothes to wear. Such a good thing was suddenly rewarded to Zining, what does it mean?

What's more, who doesn't know Aunt Xu's loyal temperament, and she puts the eldest princess first in everything. If it weren't for the eldest princess's secret consent, she wouldn't dare to trespass her identity anyway and reward Hanxiang brocade to a little maid in vain.
