The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 248
Sheyue clearly heard the signs before Xing Xiuyan's violent anger, but this girl, who didn't know whether she was too calm or really didn't care, sat there silently for a long time before saying calmly: "Miss Xing can't blame me, this garden Which girl here is not so high-ranking? Ms. Xing dares to say that she has never been stained with a little dirt on her hands? Everyone is just half a catty. Besides, if I really want to call Ms. Lin unlucky, I won’t just move so little at that time. hands and feet."

"What did you do?" Xiuyan asked her with a cold face.

Musk Moon smiled leisurely: "My mother works in the storeroom. When the old lady promoted people, she asked her to take care of Miss Lin's dowry. The lucky bottle was soaked in salt water and vinegar water, and then exposed to the hot sun. A few times, ye can't hold up to anything good."

Xiuyan sneered: "So just now Chunyan just moved a little bit, the fortune bottle is naturally in danger, and the second wife is satisfied if she can make a fool of herself in front of the son-in-law?"

"Miss Xing is a smart person. Even a powerful family like Ouyang's family tells you to be submissive. How dare I break ground on Tai Sui?" Musk Moon looked upside down: "I know, as long as this matter If you do, Ms. Xing will never stand idly by on Ms. Lin's matter, and as long as you have the heart to investigate it, you can talk about it, but in our Grand View Garden, that is, the entire Rongguo Mansion, and even the Ningguo Mansion next door, there is nothing you can't find out. The matter. Why should I bother to hide it? It was only Chunyan who was there just now, after all, it is not of one mind, I dare not say this to Miss Xing in front of Chunyan."

Xiuyan couldn't help laughing: "I haven't seen a girl who is so knowledgeable about current affairs like you. According to what you said, not only can I not blame you, but I also want to thank you for your mercy?"

If it were someone else, she would probably be overwhelmed after hearing Xing Xiuyan's words, but Sheyue is different from other girls, even Xiren dare not say that she fully understands her, and when Qingwen confronts Xiren, she also subconsciously Give Musk Moon some face.So such a girl, after listening to Xiuyan's teasing words, instead of being anxious, she laughed: "Young lady, I dare not be thankful, I only hope that when the young lady deals with that one, she will treat the rest of us in Yihong Court." Be merciful."

Of course, the one Musk Moon spoke of was not Xiren.

It's not up to Miss Xing to deal with the attacker's identity. Sheyue knows very well that just because Mrs. Wang murdered the two girls Xing and Lin several times, this little aunt in front of her will never let Mrs. Wang lightly.

The two of them were talking here, when the gate of Yihong Courtyard outside was knocked open, but Qingwen went back to the courtyard angrily.Behind her are Bihen and Qiuwen who are careful.

With the help of the light, the three of them suddenly saw three people standing on the high platform, Qingwen got angry and said, "It's impossible to die? You don't know how to pour tea when you see us coming in!"

Qiuwen and Bihen knew that this was Qingwen's excuse to vent their anger, so they quickly laughed together: "Okay, okay, let's pour tea with you, Qingwen, go back to your room and rest."

Qingwen threw away Qiu Wen's arm, and said with a sneer, "I dare not use you as filial piety, lest Grandma Hua come back and see you two flattering me, and she should be angry and take my blame!"

Bihen had already recognized Meilian and Miying standing on the high platform, she hastily pulled Qingwen's cuffs, and whispered: "Stop talking, look who is standing there?"

Qingwen was startled, and she really took a look, her expression changed, leaving Bihen Qiuwen behind, the two of them stepped up to the high platform.Qingwen forced a smile and said, "Why did the two younger sisters come to our place?"

Meilian didn't have a good face when Qingwen yelled just now, but Miying wanted to calm things down, so she smiled and said: "Our girl passed by the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she was thirsty, and happened to pass by to ask for a bowl of water."

Qingwen listened carefully, and knowing that Sheyue was at home, she breathed a sigh of relief, and raised the bamboo curtain to go in: "Miss Xing is here, of course she is a distinguished guest, I'll go and have a look." She just stepped forward, and the people inside the door Already walked out first.

The two met each other, Xiuyan smiled and said, "Huh? Why didn't you guys listen to the play in front?"

Qingwen pursed her lips: "I don't know what the song means. Master Zhen might as well invite a juggling troupe to make it more lively. Miss Xing knows that we are rough people and dare not show timidity in front of wives and girls." .”

Qingwen has a straightforward temperament, and she has been quite happy recently, so she speaks very casually.

Xiuyan had already heard about many "interesting things" in Yihong Courtyard from Sheyue, so she laughed and said, "When Baoyu becomes the master of the family in the future, won't he still give you what you want? Not to mention a juggling troupe, but the whole opera garden It is also an easy thing to move into Jia's house. Well, the night has already picked up wind, and it is time for me and our wife to go back."

Qingwen was worried that it would be too dark to walk in the garden, so she hurriedly sent Bihen and Qiuwen to send Xing Xiuyan out of the garden with a red light each.As soon as they left the gate of Yihong Courtyard, Qingwen called Sheyue into the house, and blocked the door tightly: "What is Miss Xing doing here?"

She Yue's heart moved, and she smiled to herself: "Isn't it just to rest and have a cup of tea?"

Qingwen snorted coldly: "Don't lie to me here. I know you have been dishonest recently. You often chatter with Chunyan and don't know what to say. Everyone is going out to play today, but the two of you are at home. Miss Xing just came here by such a coincidence. It would be better to tell me as soon as possible, lest I ask Chunyan and reveal all your details."

Sheyue walked back to the edge of the bed unhurriedly, stretched out her hand to fold Baoyu's changed clothes: "There is no need to threaten, we have served Baoyu together for many years, you know what kind of temper I am, as long as I don't want to say, Even if the second wife came to ask in person, she wouldn't know a single word." She raised her head and glanced at Qingwen: "But don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you at all, and it's useless to ask."

Sheyue's beauty is also one of the best in Yihong Courtyard, but it's a pity that in terms of gentleness and amiability, there will always be a flower on her to block her;In this way, Musk Moon looks much darker.Even though she was a first-class maid, Baoyu didn't care about her.

She thought she would deal with it like this for a few years, and when Baoyu annoyed them, Sheyue would find an excuse to go out. With her status as a first-class maid, Sheyue would not worry about finding a good family.But everything gradually changed after Xiren was named aunt.

That Aunt Hua thought she was valuable, so she couldn't stick to Baoyu's side like before, and asked Wang to look at her high to gain a good reputation. She Yue and Bi Hen were also given all the work to do.

Baoyu was not used to it at first, but Sheyue was ten times more attentive than Xiren. Within half a month, Baoyu stopped calling Xiren whenever he called, but only called Sheyue or Qingwen.

When Xiren came to his senses and wanted to regain power, Qingwen moved out the big Buddha of Jiamu to block it.Even Mrs. Wang felt that an aunt should focus on serving the young master instead of thinking about how to seize power with the future young mistress.

Sheyue's state of mind has changed dramatically, and she has become more rigid when speaking and doing things. Qingwen saw that she was perfunctory at will, although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to confront her head-on.

When Jia Baoyu came back in the evening, he heard Qingwen say that Xing Xiuyan had been here, and he beat his feet and chest with regret: "Idiot, stupid, why don't you send the little girl to tell me about such a big event like Sister Xing's visit? Qingwen is too, it's a loss." I usually value you the most, don't you understand what I'm thinking?"

Qingwen was scolded for no reason, her face was livid, and she said unrestrainedly: "Second Master, don't get angry, I don't call you for the sake of Second Master. Then Miss Xing is already engaged. She didn't It's a taboo to come to a man's yard in the middle of the night, but the second master can't ignore the dignity of the Rongguo Mansion, so he also follows her. The old lady and the wife have urged us to take good care of the second master, so I can't I just watched Second Master make a mistake without reminding me."

Jia Baoyu was choked to death, didn't even take off his clothes, fell into a fit of anger and fell asleep on the bed, not even knowing when Xiren would return.

In the early morning of the second day, Mrs. Lu sent someone to the opposite door to find out the news.The little servant who came back said happily: "The old man of the Gan family really likes our Miss Lin, and gave him a big seal."

Thinking of the stepmother who was not easy to get along with, Mrs. Lu hurriedly asked, "Where is that old lady?"

"I gave Miss Lin a gold hairpin, and the rest of the houses have similar gifts."

Hearing that it was just a phoenix hairpin, Lu Shi was a little displeased, Xiuyan hurriedly smiled and said: "Fortunately, they are going back to the old house over there today, and they don't see each other a few times a year, so why bother about it?" Such a trivial matter! I think, when the hairpin returns home in three days, the young couple will also come to our house to pay respects out of love and reason, why don't we ask the master chef from Guangyuan Tower to be in charge?"

The master chef of Guangyuan Building is an old man from the imperial dining room. Many rich and noble families in the capital like to ask them to support their facades when they have banquets.Xiuyan's suggestion just reminded Lu Shi: "Tell me. Do you want to invite the old lady of the Gan family to have a light meal in the next post?"

"Mum doesn't say that I'm thinking about it too, but my dad can't find time, so why can't the two of us entertain them alone?"

Xing Zhong has been busy with business recently, the case of the eldest prince's milk brother not only has not been settled, but has entered into a state of anxiety.Everyone in the Ministry of Punishment felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, fearing that they would offend the eldest prince.Cheng Zimo immediately promoted Xing Zhong, and handed over the whole case to Xing Zhong to take charge of it.

Mrs. Lu also knew that her daughter's words were not unreasonable, "Then only invite the female relatives of the family. Isn't that stepmother very arrogant, and we can't let the other party underestimate him. Ask the accountant to raise 500 taels of silver, don't be stingy with money, as long as It’s good to do it elegantly and not vulgarly.”

500 taels is enough to buy a modest house in a not-so-prosperous part of the capital, but it turns out that the Lu family only used it for a banquet, and it can be seen that the luxury level is no less than any banquet in the palace.

The mother and daughter were discussing lively, but Lin Daiyu's maid, Chunxian, begged to see her at the door.It turned out that the old man of the Gan family wanted to invite Lu's mother and daughter to the mansion to have a talk. Hearing what Chunxian wanted, they hardly allowed them to object!
