The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 156
Qiuyue is a little girl bought after the fortune of the Xing family. At first, she only did sweeping and bird-feeding work in Lu's yard. Later, Lu saw that she was cute and cute, and she had a bit of honesty, so she took her with her. By her side, before the Xing family entered Beijing, the Lu family let out the older girls who had reached the age of starting a family and starting a business. This Qiuyue gained a firm foothold and became the first-class girl.

Qiuyue has no father and no mother. She fled famine with her uncle in the early years. When she was in Yangzhou, she was spotted by human traffickers. She exchanged two bags of wheat for Qiuyue from her uncle. When everyone saw the rag doll thrown on the table, apart from being shocked, they couldn't believe it.

Qiuyue had already burst into tears: "My wife treats me with great kindness, how could I harm my wife? Our maid's room is open all the year round, anyone can go in, girl trust me, this is clearly someone deliberately framed!"

A few girls who had a good relationship with Qiuyue didn't dare to plead for mercy at this juncture.

Cursing my wife, this is a crime of beating to death in the Xing family. If Qiuyue really did something stupid, although they are close, they dare not intercede casually!

Besides, my wife is still fainting now!
Xiuyan held the well-made cotton doll in her hand, and suddenly called the housekeeper's wife who was waiting outside: "Let the housekeeper take our family's post and go to Rongguo Mansion to trouble Second Master Bao to follow you. His godmother Ma Daopo invited to our house."

Xiuyan asked Miying to find out 100 taels of silver and give it to the housekeeper's wife: "Let the housekeeper tell Ma Daopo that the 100 taels of silver are just gift money, and the hard work money will be doubled."

The butler hurriedly took the money and went out. The maids in the house listened to the truth, but they didn't know who this Ma Daopo was, and it was worth the girl's 300 taels of silver to manage it.

Not long after, something was found in the back room. Since Qiuyue was found to be suspicious, the women almost tore apart her bed to have a look.

"Look, girl, it belongs to a man." The woman unfolded the things to Xiuyan. It was a pair of men's cotton socks, a pair of satin shoes, and a small bundle. Bazier stickers.

The mother-in-law was afraid that a little girl in Xiuyan who hadn't left the pavilion would not understand the meaning of the post, so she said, "Look, girl, the one on the left is the man's birthday, and the one on the right should be the bride's. There is also a yellow stick printed on it." , that was solved by the monks in the temple!"

Xiuyan chuckled, and Qiuyue's face turned paler, shaking from side to side like a sieve.

Qiuping hesitated for a while, but still took half a step forward, and said in a low voice, "Miss, although Qiuyue and I are on good terms, there is something I dare not hide from you."

Qiuyue hurriedly looked at her good sister, her face was full of pleading.

Qiuping, on the other hand, seemed to be trying not to look at her: "A while ago, Ouyang's family moved to Fengwei Hutong. When Qiuyue was shopping at the peddler at the back door, she met her uncle's cousin. So she was bought After that, that cousin became a servant of Ouyang's family. I went to the back room to look for Qiuyue yesterday, and saw her hide something in the pillow in a panic. I never imagined that it was such a terrible thing! If the girl doesn't believe it, she can call the woman on the back corner door, and she will find out if she asks."

Qiuyue was furious: "Smelly girl, it turned out that you set a trap to harm me! Thanks to me, I still treat you as a good sister!" Qiuyue turned to Xiuyan, "Miss, don't believe her words, it was indeed my cousin who was waiting at the corner gate yesterday. I have never given any dolls, only that one burden."

The two maids were about to start arguing in front of Lu's bed, Xiuyan slammed the table, scaring everyone into silence, Qiuyue and Qiuping didn't dare to speak out.

"Tie up the two girls with a rope, gag them, and keep them under strict supervision. Qiuping's parents have gone on an errand, and brought them to the front yard for the boys to watch."

Qiuping was still not convinced, but she had already been tied up hands and feet by a few tough women, and she was dragged out of the main room together with Qiuyue.The remaining two or three big girls knew that the girl had to deal with them ruthlessly this time, and no one would dare to force them.The girl usually treats them with kindness. The maids around the girl also call each other "Sister" when they see the people in front of the wife. People in the two courtyards have never had any disputes. Today, they just You know, girls get angry sometimes.

Over there, the Mi Tai doctor gave Fu Ge'er an injection, and Fu Ge'er's crying weakened a bit, but the foreign body in his throat did not disappear.Doctor Mi was very troubled, so she called someone to invite Xiuyan: "Miss Xing, I heard that your family has a female doctor who specializes in pediatrics, why don't you call them out, how about we discuss a countermeasure?"

Xiuyan smiled wryly: "To tell you the truth, old doctor, if I can find someone, why bother you. Please tell me before you come that the housekeeper told me that something happened to the old people in the house, and they all asked for leave. Now there is no good way but to wait for them to come back."

Doctor Mi's heart was shocked, knowing that the Xing family had really caused some trouble.

The old doctor couldn't help slandering: The Xing family was too careless, these medicine women went out at the same time, so they should be vigilant.

Doctor Mi didn't know that Xiuyan had regretted her bowels a long time ago, her parents had always been in good health, Fu Ge'er had been safe and sound since birth, and was stronger than other children at the full moon, so the family never intentionally kept her Those pharmacists just brought a few old nuns who came out of the palace to their homes, and took Lu Shi's pulse every day.

Now it seems that the other party has already figured out his own routine, first using the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and then trying to trap himself in the Dayuan Temple. When she and her father come back, I am afraid that there will be only two cold corpses lying in the house .

Every time Xiuyan thinks of a possibility, she hates the Ouyang family.

Seeing that the little girl in charge of the family was not arrogant, Dr. Mi secretly felt a little admiration in his heart, and he was a little more delicate when administering the needles to Fu Geer.

The steward over there flew to Rongguo Mansion, but fortunately Jia Baoyu didn't go out, knowing that it was him, Elder Sister Xing, who was asking for an urgent matter, so she hurriedly put on her clothes, and even Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang didn't have time to tell him a word, and took him with him. After the servant Mingyan waited, he left the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Baoyu's godmother, Ma Daopo, is a sorceress who travels from house to house. She can't do serious errands, and she is good at heretics.At first she saw Jia Baoyu and Wu Yangyang came looking for her, she thought that she had been stabbed out for harming Baoyu for money in the past, she was so frightened that she squatted on the ground begging for mercy, yelling indiscriminately.

In front of Steward Xing, Jia Baoyu pulled Ma Daopo up embarrassingly, and hurriedly explained his purpose.

That Ma Daopo was the most greedy for money. Seeing that the Xing family gave out 100 taels of silver and hearing that there would be follow-up rewards, she was busy with a carp, stood up from the ground, straightened her greasy and dirty hat, and yelled at everyone to leave.The Xing family got out of the carriage early, Ma Daopo enjoyed it while thinking about how to get more money from the Xing family.

After entering Fengwei Hutong, Ouyang's family had already seen the movement of the opposite door through the crack of the door. Seeing a group of hula-la people entering, most of them were unfamiliar faces, they felt that the big event had been accomplished, and rushed in to report to the old lady and the second master. .

The Ma Daopo flatteringly greeted Xiuyan, Xiuyan forced a smile and said: "It's important to ask Xiangu to treat my mother's illness first, as long as our wife is safe and sound, the little girl will definitely reward you with a lot of money."

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "Sister Xing, don't worry, my godmother is not the kind of person who is greedy for money, she has all kinds of skills, just don't worry about your aunt's illness!"

Ma Daopo secretly spat: This bastard, he doesn't like money, but don't stop yourself from getting rich!
Xiuyan smiled faintly, and led Ma Daopo into the inner room. Lin Daiyu accompanied Jia Baoyu to wait in the main room.The Ma Daopo didn't take it seriously at first, but when she saw the doll that Xiuyan handed over, her expression became more dignified, and she didn't say a word when she saw Lu Shi's condition.

"Xiangu at least give me a safe word!"

Ma Daopo held the doll: "Since the girl showed me this thing, she probably guessed who I am. It's just that the girl doesn't know, we witches are also divided into four, six, and nine grades. The relatives of the emperor's relatives, those who are not well-known, go in and out of the Duke's Mansion and the Minister's Mansion, and some unlucky ones walk around the streets in the market to earn hard money. To tell you the truth, this kind of harms people's morality I've done it before. But it's not as good as this one. The material, the craftsmanship, and the words on it are all exquisite. Except for those elderly women who specialize in enshrining the royal inner courtyard, there is no one else. .”

Xiuyan's heart skipped a beat: "What does Xiangu mean, that the one who harmed our wife was someone from the palace?"

Ma Daopo hurriedly waved her hands: "Miss Xing, don't make random guesses, I'm just talking. How the empress in the palace would use this method, I heard from several palaces. There are some masters." Ma Daopo said from her arms. He took out a black ball, "Wash it in the water, and feed it to my wife. I will start removing the needles after a while. As long as Mrs. Xing's fever subsides tonight, she will definitely wake up tomorrow."

Xiuyan is now a dead horse as a living horse doctor, seeing her mother lying stiffly on the bed, she can only grit her teeth and respond.

Meiying brought the water, and Xiuyan was about to melt the medicine, so she heard a report from an outsider, saying that a monk with a scarlet head and a lame Taoist were begging to see him outside the gate.And roll call to see the girl!

Xiuyan hurriedly handed the pills to Mei Ying, Ma Daopo knew that it was a colleague who came to snatch the business, and seeing Xing Xiuyan hurried out to greet her, she was scared out of her mind, and hurriedly pulled Xiuyan: "Miss Xing, that formation is also No need to show it, I'll just remove the needle. It doesn't matter if you give me less money, but girl, don't trust the words of those charlatans!"

Xiuyan smiled and brushed Ma Daopo's hand away: "Don't worry, Xiangu, I'm not the kind of person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges. I'll pay every penny. The monk with the scarlet head is my old friend. Wait a minute, Xiangu. I'll go back as soon as I go." .”

Meilian waited for a group of maids to guard Lu's couch, and Ma Daopo could only sit awkwardly on the chair, playing with a cotton doll in her hand boredly.

What Xiuyan expected was right. This scarlet-headed monk was the one who had a relationship with Dayuan Temple this morning. He was standing next to the bald-headed monk. He had never spoken a word to Xing Xiuyan from the beginning to the end, but this The appearance of the person is really distinctive, which makes Xing Xiuyan unforgettable at a glance.The nose is as big as a bucket under the eyebrows, the torn straw sandals, and the rotten sore on one end.

It is Cao Gong's two saints who overcome human suffering.
