Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 145 Ups and Downs
The news that Shi Xuan went mad in the new garden and scuffled Shi Yiqing quickly spread in the Baifang Garden. Before noon on the second day, the ladies of the Shi family already knew about this matter, or sent a girl to see him off. Things to play with, or letting Mammy bring some soup to calm her down, can be regarded as doing her part.

Because everyone saw that it was just a small conflict, and it was the grievances and resentments between Shi Yiqing and Shi Xuanxin, and it was only Sanfang's own business if it broke the sky, so they couldn't allow them to talk too much.

Everyone saw that the old lady who knew about it didn't move, and even Shi Yiqing and Shi Xuanxin continued to practice calligraphy with Aunt Mo as if nothing happened, as long as this matter was over, no one would specifically mention it.

However, as soon as school was about to end that day, Zhu Xi led two rough envoys to wait outside. He saw the ladies with a smile on his face, and said, "I have obeyed the old lady's words, come and invite the sixth lady." Follow the servants to Chunhui Hall."

Shi Zejia tilted his head and looked at the nanny standing behind Zhu Xi, and said eloquently, "I don't look like I'm here to invite someone, but I'm here to escort you. Did you really follow grandma's order?"

Shi Zeqian frowned and interrupted Shi Zejia's words, and said in a deep voice, "Jia'er, don't be rude. After all, Zhuxi is serving grandma, and you and I should respect her." Xi smiled and said, "Since you invited Sixth Sister according to your grandmother's advice, it must have nothing to do with me and Jia'er, so I will take Jia'er to rest first."

Zhu Xi leaned over to salute, respectfully sent Shi Zeqian and Shi Zejia away, turned to Shi Xuanxin who looked displeased, and said, "Miss Six, please go with your servant."

Shi Xuanxin pulled a dark face, suppressed his anger not to flare up, nodded with cold eyes, and said: "Grandmother is welcome, I will go. Yunying, you pack up your things, and I will leave in a while." Come to Chunhui Hall to find me."

Mrs. Shi watched Shi Xuan step down Xiaoyingzhou and was about to leave the gate of Baifang Garden, she couldn't help smiling, and said to Shi Yiqing beside her: "It seems that there is a good show to watch, I don't know if Qing'er Don't you want to follow me to have a look?"

Shi Fuhao stared at Shi Fuhao, frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's getting more and more out of order, why don't you hurry up and pack up your things and go back to rest, and you will go to Fangcuixuan to learn from female celebrities in a while. It's late, see if I can stop Aunt Mo from beating you."

Seeing that Shi Fuhao was angry, Mrs. Shi hurried forward with a smile and pulled Shi Fuhao's sleeve to act like a spoiled child. The two left Xiaoyingzhou side by side, leaving Shi Yiqing standing alone in the room.

The attendant He Mu saw her, stepped forward and said, "Miss, the ladies have left, let's go back too."

After leaving Xiaoyingzhou, the sky, which was clear just now, suddenly became cloudy. Looking at it from a distance, it seemed that even the sky had collapsed.After Shi Yiqing changed into his normal clothes, he leaned against the door frame and looked at the sky, and Ming Mei, who was waiting behind him, stepped forward to persuade him urgently: "Miss, it looks weird today, let's go back to the house, and pay attention to the wind blowing on the head. , into the wind and cold."

Shi Yiqing stared at the thunder-rolling sky in a trance, as if he had never heard of it, Mingmei could only take two steps forward to persuade her, and after a while, Shi Yiqing said: "It's just a thunderstorm, there's nothing scary about it. You If you are afraid, you can go back to the house now, no one is stopping you."

Ming Mei had no choice but to turn around and quickly go back to the house, and went to find Mo Xian to persuade her.

Seeing that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, it seems that someone broke the dragon king's water tank and wants to submerge the world.

A girl came to report that it was Aunt Mo who sent someone: "Aunt Mo said, take a short rest today, sister can practice in her own room, and Aunt Mo will inspect the finished product tomorrow."

Shi Yiqing raised her eyebrows, and went to the soft couch to find the apron she had embroidered before, and said to Mo Xian with a smile, "Today, the weather is not beautiful. If Ruoshui stayed up all night, I'm afraid It’s going to tire your eyes, why don’t you take Qi’er’s and put it on top first, and let aunt see my handicraft first.”

Mo Xian smiled wryly and stepped forward and said: "My lady, everyone will show Aunt Mo the towels tomorrow, but you took the young master's bellyband, wouldn't you want to make all the ladies laugh? If you don't Be patient, this servant will embroider a sachet, you can take it back to Aunt Mo."

"Where is there anyone else to say it?" Shi Yiqing was displeased, holding the little bellyband given to Qi'er and said, "Aunt Mo has sharp eyes, and you can tell who made it at a glance. If you make Auntie unhappy, what else will you do?" Why don't you just take your own from the beginning, and let everyone laugh if you want to, as long as Aunt Mo doesn't make faces to me, that's fine. Take it, wrap it up for me, I'm going to take it with me tomorrow. "

Mo Xian had no choice but to take the bellyband with a wry smile, turned around to look for Shi Yiqing's bag, and put it away.

Seeing that the heavy rain outside the window never stopped, dark clouds covered half of the sky, and the surroundings were pitch black, Shi Yiqing couldn't move impatiently, and just lazily lay on the soft couch in a daze after everyone ate their lunch.

Jianliu walked into the West Wing with hot tea in his hand, saw Shi Yiqing's lazy appearance and was about to speak, he vaguely heard someone knocking on the door outside, he raised the curtain to go out and saw that everyone was nestled in the room but didn't hear him, so he had to walk around the corridor quickly, walking When I opened the door at the gate of the courtyard, I saw Lian Ying, and hurriedly pulled her in: "It's raining, where have you been fooling around again?"

Seeing that it was Jianliu, Lian Ying argued: "Sister has wronged me, how dare I go fooling around, it's because Miss asked me to do an errand."

Jianliu was startled for a moment, and turned to see that although she was holding an oil-paper umbrella, the wind and rain were blowing obliquely, and there was no clean place around her. She looked embarrassed and said with a chuckle: "Look at your appearance, the whole body It's like a duck that fell into the water. In my opinion, you'd better go in and change your clothes first, and then follow me to meet the lady."

"Is this going to work? If Miss knows that I'm delaying things, I'm afraid she'll expose me." Saying that, she was about to rush into the West Wing.

Jianliu hurriedly stopped her: "I don't care about the big things, you are so tight-skinned, you don't have a fever or a cold, the young lady is weak, don't get sick and make the young lady angry. "

"What's the noise outside?" He Mu walked out from the side room through the curtain. Seeing Jianliu and Lianying, he frowned slightly and said, "Why are you making noise here? You're startled, Miss. Lianying, Miss told you to go in first." answer."

Lian Ying didn't dare to do anything wrong, she lowered her head in response, raised the curtain and entered the west chamber, seeing the young lady standing aside with her hands down, she didn't dare to go forward to answer.

Seeing this, Shi Yiqing couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you today? What are you doing so far away from me?"

"The servant girl is afraid that she will get angry with the young lady."

"I'm not so delicate." Shi Yiqing muttered, turned his eyes and continued, "Okay, you should talk about the things in Chunhui Hall first. What do you know?"

Lian Ying quickly stepped forward and replied: "Miss, you are really amazing. I asked the servant to watch Aunt Cheng's movements first, saying that Aunt Cheng is afraid that she will make some moves recently, but just today, I made trouble like a spoiled old man." In front of people, it is said that he brought two nuns in to answer, and later even Miss Six was taken by Sister Zhuxi to answer, and she hasn't come back yet."

Shi Yiqing asked with deep eyes: "Did Aunt Cheng go in and make trouble in front of the three wives and the young lady? This is strange, the nurse in charge of the yard would let her go in and make trouble?"

"The old lady is still sick. How dare the nurse in charge of the yard let Aunt Cheng disturb the old lady? At first, she insisted not to let her in. Later, Aunt Cheng knelt outside the courtyard and cried loudly. After all, she was still shocked. After seeing the old lady, the old lady let her in to answer."

Shi Yiqing sneered: "That's true. For the sake of herself and her daughter, she has to give up her face and make a fuss. It's just that how big this matter can be will depend on her own fortune."

After a pause, she noticed the distress of Lian Ying, and continued: "Okay, seeing your distress, go down and change into a clean one, and I will ask Rouyin to make some ginger soup for you in a while, so as not to hurt you." If you really catch a cold when you get it, then it’s not good.”

Lian Ying bowed her hand in thanks and retreated.

The rain eased down during the night, and it continued pattering all night long, until the next morning when it cleared up a little, and all the young ladies went to Xiaoyingzhou to study and practice calligraphy.

Because the ground was wet, some places were even more muddy, Shi Yiqing had eaten breakfast early in the morning, and had no time to say hello to the old lady, so he went straight to Xiaoyingzhou.When I got there, I saw a pair of clean embroidered shoes already covered with mud, and my shoes and socks were soaked through exhaustion.

Shi Yiqing had no choice but to say goodbye to Aunt Mo, went to the inner room to change clothes, shoes and socks, and carefully tidied up her accessories before turning around and coming back to her seat.

Aunt Mo glanced around, seeing that it was late and only Shi Xuanxin was missing, she was not happy, so she frowned and called the maid who served outside to come in, and asked, "I need to trouble you to go and invite Miss Six." come over."

The nanny replied: "Yesterday Miss Six was called by the old lady to talk, and she has not returned to Baifang Garden. I think it was because she rested at the old lady's side, so she couldn't make it in time. Please also ask Auntie to prepare for the class first. My side Go to Chunhui Hall and invite Miss Six to come and listen to the lecture."

Shi Zejia, who was sitting in the front, twitched the corners of her lips and said meanly: "Sixth sister has never been liked by grandma for so many days, why did she stay for a rest yesterday? I'm afraid she was punished by grandma and locked up in the primary school. You can't get out of the dark room, right?"

Shi Zeqian scolded softly: "Jia'er, don't talk nonsense!"

"Where did I talk nonsense? She was imprisoned, not once or twice. My sister is also true, everyone knows, why don't you let me speak out?"

Aunt Mo frowned and stared at Shi Zejia, and said in a deep voice: "Regardless of your relationship with Miss Six, just say that she is your sister, you shouldn't be so mean. At a young age, you So, is it okay to grow up? You don’t need to listen to today’s class, go back and copy "The Female Precepts" ten times first, and I will check it."

Shi Zejia blushed and jumped up, intending to argue with her, but didn't have the guts to do so, her eyes were red with aggrieved eyes, she stomped her feet unwillingly, and ran out of Xiaoyingzhou.

The nanny who came to answer the conversation hurriedly walked to the door of Xiaoyingzhou, was almost hit by Shi Zejia who was running out, managed to stabilize her body, and was about to salute and apologize, but Shi Zejia ignored her at all, and walked out ran away.

The nanny was stunned for a moment, and when she was about to ask the girl who ran out after Shi Zejia, she heard Aunt Mo's voice from afar, and hurried in to reply: "Returning to Auntie, Miss Six is ​​transcribing in the old lady's Buddhist hall." According to the scriptures, the old lady granted her permission not to come to Xiaoyingzhou to attend classes these days, and ordered me to support Aunt Mo."

Mrs. Shi took a fan to block it, and whispered to Shi Yiqing: "Hey, I really let Eleventh Sister talk."

When Shi Yiqing saw Shi Fuhao turned her eyes upside down, she lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Eighth Sister, if she continues to be so naughty, I'm afraid that someone will learn from my grandmother and let you transcribe scriptures."

Mrs. Shi followed Shi Yiqing's line of sight, and saw that Mrs. Shi was staring at her with staring eyes, she immediately became honest, and began to read while shaking her head while holding the Analects of Women.

Shi Yiqing glanced at Mrs. Shi amusedly, straightened his posture, picked up the pen, and wrote the word "forbearance" on the paper stroke by stroke.

If what she expected was right, Aunt Cheng probably got hold of Shi Xuanxin, and this talented old lady once again ordered Shi Xuanxin to be imprisoned in the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures.And this handle is not necessarily related to Shi Yunyou.

It's not a trivial matter for the old lady to lose Shi Xuanxin so quickly, even in front of the third lady Yang Lianxiang.It seems that Aunt Cheng is eager to save her daughter, and now she is disregarding her own safety, she is going to fight the third lady.

Before school was over, a mother came to Xiaoyingzhou and wanted to see Shi Zeqian with a white face. Seeing that it was Shi Zeqian's nanny, the nanny who was serving outside thought it was not a trivial matter, so she barged in and disturbed Aunt Mo Lecture.

"Miss Si's nanny is waiting outside. It looks like she is in a hurry to find Miss Si. The servant did not dare to delay, so she rushed in rashly."

Although Shi Zeqian was dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't dare to express her anger in front of everyone, so she returned to Aunt Mo with a calm face, and led the people to talk inside.

After a while, there were crying sounds from inside, which interrupted Aunt Mo's lecture several times. Angrily, Aunt Mo picked up her books, got up and left Xiaoyingzhou, leaving the girls looking at each other in dismay.

Mrs. Shi panicked and asked Shi Yiqing: "Aunt Mo is mad, what should I do?"

Shi Yiqing still had a cold-eyed look on the sidelines and smiled, "Sister, don't panic, just watch, we don't have time to rest today."

The nurse serving outside saw that something was wrong after Aunt Mo left Xiaoyingzhou, so she trotted to Chunhui Hall, and within a short while, a girl came to look for it, saying that it was the old lady who asked all the ladies to go back to their yard to study , invited Shi Zeqian and her nanny to Chunhui Hall to answer.

Mrs. Shi intended to have a chat with Shi Yiqing, but she was restrained by Mrs. Shi to leave Xiaoyingzhou, leaving Shi Yiqing alone to turn to the moon.After lunch, Lian Ying came back with news and said, "Miss, I don't know, Chunhui Hall is full of trouble."

Lian Ying approached Shi Yiqing and replied: "Yesterday, Aunt Cheng led two nuns to the old lady's place to make trouble, saying that Miss Six was indiscreet in the nunnery, and was spotted by Miss Eleven, who forced Ten The first lady is not allowed to speak out, and even let the people around her watch over the eleventh lady, torturing her openly and secretly, and not letting her sleep every day, and that's why the torture made the eleventh lady crazy."

Shi Yiqing smiled lightly, drooping his eyes and taking a sip of tea: "Does the old lady believe it?"

"The two nuns that Aunt Cheng found were serving Shi Yiqing in the nunnery. Later, they even called Yunying to ask. I have said it all. There are all witnesses and evidences, and the old lady has to believe it." Lian Ying paused, "Miss, I heard from Sister Manao who was serving outside, the scene yesterday was a mess, Miss Six was crying Saying that she was wronged, the third wife cried and said she couldn't believe Aunt Cheng's one-sided words, and Aunt Cheng cried loudly, complaining about Miss Eleven, and even the second wife, who has always been indifferent, got involved."

Lian Ying continued: "The old lady felt a pain in her head when she heard it, and she was trembling all over with anger. If not, she locked Miss Six in the Buddhist hall, asked Aunt Cheng to go back to her room to contemplate her mistakes, and drove the three ladies out to seek purity. Originally, this matter had come to an end yesterday, but I never thought that Miss Fourth would be involved today."

Shi Yiqing was surprised: "What's the matter with Fourth Sister?"

"It's not about the Fourth Miss, but the girl Aunt Cheng implicated is the niece of the Fourth Miss' nanny Yuan Nanny. After learning about this matter early this morning, I dare not go to the old lady to intercede. I have nursed the Fourth Miss for a few days, and I have the cheek to ask the Fourth Miss to go. How can a person as shrewd as the Fourth Miss put himself on this? The two of them had a quarrel, and the nanny yelled out of her old face, which disturbed her Old madam, when old madam got angry, she called them over and scolded them. The fourth young lady used to be a face-saving person, but now, she's crying on the old madam's side. "

Shi Yiqing chuckled calmly: "Thanks to your eloquence, you can tell things you haven't seen before as if you saw them with your own eyes. Let me ask you, has it stopped now?"

Lian Ying bared her tiger teeth and said with a smile: "Where is there a moment of rest, the servants are watching, the fourth lady has suffered a secret loss, the eldest lady will definitely not let her go, I am afraid she will make trouble with the old lady, it will be another day can't stop."

Shi Yiqing glanced at Lianying secretly, and said with a half-smile: "This matter is really a big deal. But it's okay, no matter how hot the fire is, it won't burn me. You're doing well today, go to the kitchen and see Look, see if there are any mung bean cakes made by Jianliu, and bring some to your old lady and aunt to taste, it will also make you look good."

Lian Ying thanked her with a smile, and retreated lightly.
