Chapter 11 Premonition of Storm
Episode 011

Ju Hong and Ju Xiang went to the Taoyu Pavilion to inquire about the situation, but they didn't come back until the second quarter of the Youchu.

Not only them, but also Mother Rong who was next to Mrs. Shizi.

Because the old lady likes Dong Yuan, Mrs. Shizi has always been polite to Mrs. Rong. Mama Rong is the most powerful person around Mrs. Shizi.

But at this moment, mother Rong's eyes were darkly stern, and she said to Dong Yuan: "Miss Nine, Miss Ten lost a red gold phoenix necklace bracelet, and the maids in the room were afraid of trouble, so they yelled and insisted on searching The big and small maids in Miss Eleven's room were found in the Yugui cabinet, and they made a big fuss, are you asking to rest?"

Yugui is the personal servant girl of Xue Dongwan, the tenth lady.Searching other people's cupboards, but in the end the thief turned out to be one of our own. This is an excellent reason to make a fuss.

Dong Yuan lowered his eyes, concealing the grief and anger in his eyes.

The daughter of the famous Zanying family committed suicide, hurting the family's reputation and decency. Xue Dongwan's death had to be kept secret.

That poor girl, even if she dies in the underworld, she can't go to the earth in an open and honest manner.

Dong Yuan's hands hidden under his sleeves were clenched tightly, and it took him a long time to calm down, and he pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "The quarrel was so fierce, I called a little maid to inquire about it, saying that the tenth sister is gone, I was so scared that I was in a mess, and I asked Ju Xiang and Ju Hong to see if they could help. It turned out that it was for a bracelet, and the tenth and eleventh sisters were too messy. Thank you mother for walking."

Rong's mother was slightly surprised, her eyes showed admiration, and she thought that she would have to persuade Miss Nine seriously to understand Mrs. Shizi's intentions, but she would understand in just a few words.

This Miss Nine is indeed extremely smart.When she said those words, her eyes were trembling, she clearly understood what was going on, but she could take care of the overall situation.At such a young age, she is so transparent and bright, few girls in the family can match her.

Since Miss Jiu knew it well, there was no need for Mama Rong to say what Mrs. Shizi told her.

She resumed the modesty she used to have in front of Dong Yuan: "Your place is brightly lit, so you haven't slept all night, okay? You can rest a little longer, the old lady, our lady is going to call back soon, and I will answer for you by the way, this morning You don't need to go to say hello."

The old lady was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Dong Yuan to go because she had something to deal with.

Dong Yuan understood in his heart, so he forced a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, mother. I thank my aunt for me. I didn't close my eyes all night, and my face was as pale as paper. Grandma should be worried after seeing it. I will go later. Look at grandma."

Rong's mother said yes, and respectfully saluted Dong Yuan before returning to the Taolang Pavilion.

At three o'clock in the morning, in the mist of the morning light, a round of scorching sun slowly rose in the east, sprinkled on the golden light, the Taolang Hall finally returned to tranquility, and the wife of the eldest son and the elders of the family went back to their rooms one after another.

"...Before we entered the gate of the Taoyuan Mansion, we were invited by Mrs. Shizi's sister Haitang to the mansion of the Taoyuan Mansion. Haitong, the eldest maid in Mrs. Shizi's room, stood there with a stern look. Not only We, Songxia and Mingxia in front of the second lady, Pearl and Zizhu in front of the third lady, Cui'er and Xi'er in front of the fourth lady. Songxia in front of the second lady muttered something, and Haitong immediately said, "Girls, please be quiet, and be careful to speak out." Everyone knew in their hearts that no one dared to speak, until just now, Huaren, Anthurium, Begonia, and Mama Rong who were beside Mrs. Shizi all came and sent us home. The ladies have left long ago..." Ju Xiang sat on the brocade tree in front of Dong Yuan's bed, whispering to her about the situation in the Taoju Pavilion.

Dong Yuan nodded, and said something that she knew.

Not only the ones in their room, but even the big maids in the wives' rooms have to hide it, just like Shizi's wife Rong's usual method.

Ju Hong came in with a red lacquer and gilt tray in her hand, and Ju Xiang got up to help her set the meal.On the kang table by the window, there are blue and white dishes, half a bowl of glutinous rice porridge, a dish of rouge duck with sauced cucumber, a dish of steamed goose breast, a dish of sour bamboo shoots, a dish of sweet sauced cucumber, and a dish of pickled radish.

Ju Hong served Dong Yuan with breakfast, saw Dong Yuan glanced at the dishes on the kang table, and explained: "There was a commotion last night, no one was in charge of the kitchen, and the stove went out in the middle of the night. There are only these things in the stove now. , the lady will settle down."

Dong Yuan lost his appetite, seeing these things made him even more reluctant to eat.She can imagine that there must be a storm in the future. She needs a healthy body and sufficient energy. With the help of pickled cucumber and pickled radish, she tried to swallow a few mouthfuls, and then let the orange fragrance and orange red serve her to lie down. sleep for a while.

The sadness caused by Xue Dongwan's departure should pass quickly, she still has a lot to do.The crisis of her jade pendant has not yet been resolved; her house is close to the Peach Loving Pavilion, no matter how tightly she hides it, there will be rumors that there must be a maid who will be replaced to frighten everyone and silence the maids in the Shicui Pavilion.

She should take the initiative, and she should take the initiative to propose whoever is allowed to stay, lest the old lady mess up the structure of her room without knowing the situation, and she has to rearrange it again.

Because she sent people to look at the situation and lit up the lights, she herself would not be the one who knew about Xue Dongwan's death, she was safe.

Luo's mother came in after eating outside, tucked her quilt, and comforted her softly: "Sister Yuan, don't be afraid, mother and Juhongjuxiang are outside..."

Then put down the green gauze bed curtain for her, the curtain embroidered with hundreds of dishes and flowers blocked the line of sight, and the bed was dark.

In Dong Yuan's haze, there was Xue Dongwan's clear and pure voice calling her: "Ninth Sister, Ninth Sister, do you smell the fragrance of gardenia..."

With a jolt, she woke up suddenly.

There was a thin layer of sweat on her back, the bronze chisel and silver cauldron were overheated in the room, and the quilt was thick, she was too hot to bear in her impetuousness.

Dong Yuan called Ju Xiang and Ju Hong in, and asked what time it was.

It was Luo's mother and Juxiang who came in and said that it was a moment.

Dong Yuan panted slightly, and said: "Open half the window, I'm so stuffy."

Mother Luo hung the tent with a golden hook, and seeing Dong Yuan's forehead was sweating, she called out to Sister Yuan in distress, and then told Ju Xiang: "Call the kitchen to bring some hot water, and let the young lady wipe her body."

Then he got up and found a silk embroidered round fan from the cabinet, fanned Dong Yuan, and advised her softly: "It's freezing outside, I just woke up a little hot, turned back and blew a cold wind, even a person beaten by iron can't stand it. Mom will fan you..."

Wisps of fresh wind hit head-on under the swaying of the round fan, it was a little cool, and Dong Yuan felt that his breathing was much smoother.

The little maid fetched hot water, brought the orange fragrance into the inner room, and twisted the handkerchief to wipe Dong Yuan's body.

"Where is Ju Hong?" After changing his clothes, Dong Yuan realized that Ju Hong was not in the room, so he couldn't help asking.

"A few days ago, sister Ziyuan in the old lady's room asked her to borrow a flower shape, but she didn't draw it well. Today is fine, she sent it over..." Ju Xiang's voice was deliberately low.

Dong Yuan's heart shuddered, and he turned pale: "Who told her to go? Call her back soon!"

Luo's mother and Ju Xiang rarely saw Dong Yuan get angry, and they looked at each other for a while.

The woman's low and slight footsteps could be heard outside the door, her orange-red cheeks were flushed by the cold wind, her temples were slightly disheveled, but her face was anxious.

As soon as she came in, she found that Dong Yuan's back was straight and her face was light and frosty. She was slightly startled, and called out to Miss in a murmured voice.
