The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 198 The Unlucky Egg Hiding in the Cabinet

Meilian supported her own girl, and complained as she walked: "This must be the fault of Mrs. Wang, for no reason, why did the stove catch fire? That little maid came by coincidence, even if she smoked, after that How far is the kitchen from the garden, let alone a forest, even if there is no, how can it be easy to see the thick smoke?"

Xiuyan sneered at the handkerchief stuffed into her cuff and handed it to Meilian: "The stove is stained with this kind of thing. When you get home, ask the butler to check it out. What is it?" Xiuyan said just now. Keeping an eye out, when there was chaos, I put the shark handkerchief that I carried with me on the stove, and the viscous liquid stained a large area of ​​the shark handkerchief.

However, the edge of the yellow oil stain was obviously smeared with a bit of copper green, and there were signs of burning, and a few small holes were burned on the edge of the veil.

Xiuyan's heart tightened, her first thought was strong acid.

Strongly acidic things can burn people even if there is no fire. Xiuyan thinks of Wang's vicious eyes again, and a sense of anxiety arises in her heart.She hurriedly pushed Meilian: "I don't need you to worry about it here, go to Miss Lin's place quickly, and tell Miying to take care of Miss Lin's safety."

Meilian said with a bitter face, "But the girl is here."

"I still have a lot of people serving here, and they just change their clothes and go to Daoxiang Village. You don't have to worry."

Meilian looked at the little maids and wives, it turned out that the servants of Rongguo Mansion accounted for the majority, the one at the head looked familiar, but Meilian couldn't name her.She turned around and thought, what the girl said was true, Mrs. Wang must deal with Miss Lin, and the girl herself is smart, so nothing serious will happen, so Meilian turned and went back to the small kitchen.

Among the remaining maids at the moment, there are only two little maids, Bai Fu and Cui Mei, who are wearing double buns, who are from the Xing family, and there are Fei Momo who closely follows Xiuyan, and Mother Jiao, whom she trusts.In a blink of an eye, Qiu Shuangzhai arrived in front of him, and the woman who led the way giggled, "I'm sorry for Miss Xing, this old slave. We'll send it here. Then there might be something important waiting for you in Daoxiang Village. I'll wait."

Xiuyan waved her hand, and sent the other party away with a smile: "Nurse is going, we know the way back." The people in Rongguo Mansion heaved a sigh of relief, and politely took their leave.Bai Fu stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door a few times, and it took a long time before she heard light footsteps coming from inside. The other party was very impatient: "Who is it!"

Bai Fulang said in a loud voice: "We are from the Xing family, the young lady has soiled the corners of the skirt, please ask the third young lady to open the courtyard door and tell us to go in and have a rest." , hurriedly ran out and bowed to say hello.Xiuyan pulled her up: "Are you the little cicada in the third sister's room?"

Xiao Chan'er looked at Xiuyan flattered, she never expected that the cousin girl of the Xing family still remembered such a dispensable little person like herself.Xiao Chan'er couldn't help laughing and said: "Miss Xing remembers correctly, I am the girl who cleans San Mistress's garden."

Xiuyan nodded affectionately: "They are playing and having fun near Daoxiang Village. It's rare that you can hold on to your loneliness at such a young age. Looking at the huge house at home, it can be seen that the third sister knows people well."

Little Cicada blushed embarrassingly: "This is what slaves should do. Miss, this sister said. The corner of the girl's skirt is dirty? It's windy outside, Miss Xing, come in and sit!" Little Chaner led everyone in. Tanchun's house.Tanchun Suxi Langkuo, the house is not partitioned, looking around, the furnishings in the house are clear and clear at a glance.On the big book case that greets you, there are all kinds of good inks, such as natural inks, lacquer inks, lacquer inks, lacquer edge inks, etc. On the bookshelves are Wang Youjun's "Seventeen Posts", dedicated "Luo Shen" "Fu Thirteen Lines" and other copybooks, one by one copying works that have been dry for a long time are placed in the forefront.

Xiuyan picked up one of them and kept nodding her head, Xiao Chaner hurriedly laughed and said: "Sister Cuimo said that our girl is very diligent in practicing calligraphy, and even Baoyu is no match for her."

Xiuyan smiled and said nothing: It seems that Jia's mother's efforts all these years have been in vain. Before entering the Grand View Garden, the old lady gave repeated orders, not allowing the maids to call Jia Baoyu by her name like when she was a child, lest these daughters who don't know the truth He ruined his precious grandson.It's a pity that just as the old saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how many eyes and ears Jia Mu has, and no matter how long her arms are, she can't keep her eyes on Yihong Courtyard all the time. How to prevent it!

After a long time, the maids still did their own thing, and they didn't even try to hide it.

Little Cicada took the initiative to open Tanchun's cage, "The clothes here are all new clothes made by our girls, Miss Xing, do you think there is anything you like?"

Logically speaking, Xiaochaner is not qualified to make decisions about Tanchun's things, but this little girl wholeheartedly believes that Miss Xing is the third girl's cousin, and borrowing a piece of clothing is just a trivial matter.Xiaochaner thought beautifully, maybe the third girl came back to see that she had done well, and she would reward herself!

Xiuyan didn't touch the clothes in the box, she only found a short jacket with silk and satin similar to her own in Tanchun's old clothes, the skirt underneath was changed to lotus color, and the purse at her waist was still her own. that only.Xiao Chan'er brought warm water, Bai Fu held a handkerchief, Cui Mei held a mirror, and the three of them came up to help Xiu Yan freshen up.Seeing this, Madam Fei quickly took a large handkerchief and covered the skirt of the girl's chest.

Xiuyan was about to take a shower when she suddenly heard a slight strange noise from the closet against the wall.

Xiuyan paused, and quickly winked at the people around her.Everyone looked at the girl's serious eyes, and they all fell silent, and no one dared to say anything.

The voice was only fleeting, fast and short, and the smoke she made almost thought it was her own illusion. Just when she was about to speak again, there was another rustling noise in the cabinet door.

Everyone's eyes followed the sound and stared at the cabinet, Xiuyan dared to conclude that she heard it right.Bai Fu grabbed the handkerchief with one hand and Cuimei's wrist with the other, and was nervously about to ask in a low voice, when Xiuyan immediately shook her head coldly.

Xiuyan looked around, and saw a large and round flower vat next to the big book case, which was specially used for scrolls.Xiuyan carefully pulled out the painting scroll inside, picked up the vase with both hands and walked forward.Little Cicada's eyes stared straight, the vat weighed at least seventeen or eight catties, and Miss Xing has thin arms and legs, why is it like playing with it when she grabs it?

Let's talk about Xiuyan holding it in both hands, and slowly approaching the cabinet door, she winked at the dazed little cicada not far away, signaling him to come and open the door.The little cicada was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she shook her head violently like a rattle.Cuimei cursed silently, "Useless things", and walked over to her girl first.

Nanny Fei and the others all looked nervous. The room is full of people, and there are only six living people in total, all of whom are female relatives.I don't know what is playing tricks in the cabinet, just in case
Nanny Fei and Mother Jiao didn't dare to think about it any further, they all stared at the cabinet door with breathless concentration.

Xiuyan nodded slightly at Cuimei, and Cuimei put her hand on the door of the cupboard. She yanked open the armrest, and the situation inside was immediately exposed to everyone.

A young man in a brocade suit curled up in the cabinet, and the smell of alcohol immediately permeated the room.

"Jia Rong?"

Xiuyan was taken aback, she didn't expect it to be this person.She hurriedly took the feather duster that Cuimei handed over, carefully lifted Jia Rong's face with it, and found that Jia Rong was indeed very drunk, curled up in a strange posture in this small space.

"Girl, what should we do?" Just as Cuimei finished asking, there were knocks on the door outside Qiu Shuangzhai's courtyard.Xiaochaner subconsciously wanted to drive it, but was held down by Xing Xiuyan.

"If you open the door at this time, either everyone's reputation will be ruined together, or I will have to confess your third girl."

Little Cicada was at a loss and stammered: "Please, please, Miss Xing, think of something, think of a way!"

The knocking on the door intensified, and Xiuyan asked urgently, "Who closed this cabinet in the end?" The more anxious Xiao Chan was, the slower her thinking became, seeing Bai Fu and Cui Mei want to tear her fierce, Xiao Chan Cai replied hesitantly: "Before I came in to look at the house, I saw Sister Cuimo taking out 20 taels of silver from the cabinet. I don't know how much it is."

Jia Rong was so drunk that it was almost impossible to move him at this time, so she slipped through the back door?Don't say that Qiu Shuangzhai is reluctant to let go of the back door, even if there is a back door, judging from the current situation, Wang must have arranged the surrounding situation properly.

That's right, it's Wang's poisonous plan.

Xiuyan sneered in her heart, luckily she thought Daiyu was the target of Mrs. Wang's attack, so it turned out to be herself from the beginning!
"Miss." Bai Fu and Cui Mei nervously looked at the gate in the garden: "Miss, you need to make a decision soon!"

Xiuyan held the flower vat with one hand, and pulled out the cabinet by Jia Rong's neck with the other.Jia Rong's head hit the cupboard door, and the guy only frowned, but didn't know anything.Xiuyan slapped Jia Rong's pretty face left and right, "slaps, slaps" four big slaps, two forehands and two backhands. The slap made Jia Rong very smart, and looked at Xiuyan with bloodshot eyes.

"You!" Jia Rong just called out a word, and felt a black shadow in front of her eyes, and something was attacking her head.

Jia Rong screamed in fright and fell into a pool of blood.His head has long been like a blood gourd, but fortunately, he is not unconscious, but it looks a little scary.

Xiuyan squatted down and stared at Jia Rong: "I don't care if you planned to harm me with Mrs. Wang, but let me tell you, if people from outside come in later, if you dare not follow my advice Do it." Xiuyan grabbed a fragment of the vase and pressed it against Jia Rong's Adam's apple, which was still stained with scarlet blood.Jia Rong was mostly sober from the wine, and hurriedly smoked Xiuyan and nodded.

"What my aunt says, my nephew will do." Jia Rong knew that he could only cooperate with Xing Xiuyan at this moment. He never thought that the delicate and weak Miss Xing family turned out to be a murderous monster.Jia Rong is thankful that her brain is strong, otherwise Xing Xiuyan would have to smash it open!
