The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

It was cloudy on the first day of September.

Just after Chenshi [seven o'clock in the morning], Qingwen carried a copper kettle to the small kitchen in the southeast corner, and saw that there were several little maids crowded in to fetch water.

Seeing Qingwen coming in from outside, the little maids hurriedly retreated to the side.

Qingwen was also not polite to them, and walked to the stove, until she saw Furong in the innermost circle, she subconsciously stopped her footsteps.

"Humph."

Furong raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, but then she took a half step away from the stove.

Qingwen still did her part to make up for her vacancy, and gently put the copper pot on the stove as a maid of Xiangling. She was supposed to be behind Furong, but Sun Shaozong stayed with her yesterday. In Xiangling's room, the hot water used for washing naturally has to be tightly used by him first.

However, in the past, this hot water was boiled in advance in the small kitchen, and whoever used it did not matter what sort of order it was.

Why is it delayed today?

Seeing the maid who was boiling water, she was busy living with her head down in front of the stove. Qingwen asked a few words intentionally, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered her current identity and swallowed the question again.

But she didn't ask, but Furong became impatient in the back and scolded: "My aunt, why don't you even have the hot water for the second master? If you delay the master's official business, which one can afford it!"

The servant girl who boiled water lowered her head even more when she heard this, but she didn't say a word.

Furong became more and more annoyed, and cursed again: "You little hoof is not deaf? Or do you want me to know my wife, so that I can reward you with family law?!"

The water-boiling maid trembled her shoulders slightly, and finally whispered: "Sister, don’t worry, I was serving on the stove for the first time, and I owed a few words to explain. I don’t know if the water will be boiled in the middle of the night. There is another difference."

When Furong heard her distinguish, she had to say something more, but Qingwen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Caixia? Why are you?!"

But it turned out that the fire-burning maid who was buried in front of the stove was Caixia who had been demoted to work as a rough maid.

Caixia was called out of identity by her, and finally raised her head, grinning at Qingwen in embarrassment and bitterness, and whispered: "Yesterday's auntie is kind, let me come and wait on the stove."

Seeing her smoky look, Qingwen couldn't help feeling mixed.

When I was in Rongguo Mansion, the relationship between the two was actually not too close, especially after learning that she helped Aunt Zhao and the old three in the ring communicate secretly, Qingwen hated Caixia even more.

However, the situation has changed, and both of them have been assigned to the Sun's house by Mrs. Wang. Seeing her fall in such a way, Qingwen couldn't help but hurt her.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something to Caixia, but at this moment, the stove was gurgling and boiling, Caixia hurriedly took a water scoop and filled Qingwen's copper pot.

哐~

Almost at the same time, Furong put the copper pot in her hand on the stove.

Seeing that it was not the place to talk, Qingwen had to confess in a hurry: "Since you are all in the same courtyard, when you are done with your errands, you might as well take a seat at my place."

As he said, he hurriedly carried the copper kettle and gave up his position in the front row.

After bypassing the blooming flowerbed, when I arrived in the West Wing, I heard the annoying sound of the shaker. Instead of stopping, it was a bit hastily. Qingwen couldn't help but spit inwardly with a blushing face, then turned around and reopened the door. Lost the lock.

Listening to this movement, Erye and Xiangling didn't need hot water for a while. After Xiangling finished freshening up on her own, he hesitated for a while, and went to the southern house first, intending to ask the lady's nanny if she would like to freshen up.

In order to make it easier for people to go in and help take care of the children, the door of this south house has always been concealed.

Qingwen was afraid that she would wake up the eldest lady, so she cried and disturbed the "yaxing" of the master and aunt, so she quietly opened the door and walked in.

When I got inside, I saw my sister Zhengxiang sleeping in the cradle, and the nurse on the bed wrapped her whole body in the quilt.

This is not afraid of boring yourself.

Qingwen shook her head speechlessly, and waited to return to the living room. However, when she was about to turn around, she found that the situation seemed a little wrong. The bedding was constantly surging, and it was not as simple as breathing. Swinging.

Could it be that the nurse is sick? !

Qingwen raised her heart to her throat immediately. The eldest lady is as strong as the noble master. She was seriously ill just a month ago. What if she is infected with any disease from the nurse at this time? !

Thinking of this, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law of the Song family?!"

With just this sound, the jitter of the bedding suddenly froze, and it took a long time to see a face that was red and bright, and said in a bitter voice, "You...when did you come in?"

Seeing her appearance, Qingwen felt even more uncomfortable. As she reached out to touch Sister-in-law Song’s forehead, she said with concern: "Sister-in-law is not feeling well? Would you like me to report to Second Master Ming and ask a doctor to come and see!"

"No no no!"

The sister-in-law Song hurriedly stretched out her white arm and shook it like a rattle, and said anxiously: "I am in good health. Don't disturb the second master!"

Seeing that her neck was red, but Qingwen couldn't believe it, and when she was afraid of losing her accident and intending to conceal her condition, she turned around and went to the master bedroom to report.

Sister-in-law Song became more and more anxious, and she didn't care that she had nothing to hide. She jumped up and grabbed her, stood up and shouted, "Good girl, you... listen to me first!"

With that, he whispered a few words in Qingwen's ear.

After Qingwen listened, her face was flushed red, and she continued to slap a few times, and then said: "Sister-in-law is really...and really ridiculously tight! Forget it, I just got water, you are about to get outside. Freshen up, lest my sister wakes up and panicked!"

Seeing that she didn't mean to go into it, Sister-in-law Song was relieved immediately, took the towel and clothes in embarrassment, carried Qingwen on her back and hurriedly cleaned up, and folded the messy mattress, and then hurried to the outside room. .

Because Qingwen wanted to stay to look after the children, she naturally didn't go out. She was supposed to sit on the bed nearby, but when she thought of the behavior of the nanny, she always felt that it was a bit filthy.

So she pulled out another Xiudun from the corner, and carefully sat down in front of the cradle. There was a mess in her mind, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. When she came back to her senses, Sister Song had already folded back. He looked at himself with a smile on his face.

"Good girl."

Just listen to her to please: "Don't say anything about the talent just now, otherwise I...I will have no face to go out to meet people!"

This house has just been rich and wealthy for a few years, and there are not many family-born slaves, so the nurses are all looking for them from outside, and they can only go home after three or five days. It is not easy to spend the night at home. The woman, after listening to the depressive sound of this evening, she would be impulsive, but it was normal.

Besides, the wet nurses of the big family can't bear to be lonely, and they hook up with the male host and become an adulterer. That's because there are many people.

This sister-in-law Song solved her troubles by herself, so she said it was nothing wrong.

It's just that in the past few days, this sister-in-law Song was very mean to Qingwen, so Qingwen took advantage of the means of a wealthy maid and beat her with a few words.

Until Song's sister-in-law said that she will only look forward to Qingwen's horse in the future, and Qingwen said: "Sister-in-law is too serious. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as neighbors, not to mention that we are still licking horse spoons under one roof. Just help each other out more."

"Yes, yes, to help each other, just to help each other!"

Sister-in-law Song pecks the rice with her head nodded, her face filled with relief. Obviously, she said that she wanted the horse's head to look forward, but she was unwilling in every way.

With such a face, Qingwen was also used to seeing her in Suori, so she didn't bother to care about her. She said she was going to serve her master and aunt, and got up and went to the outside living room.

At this time, the annoying movement finally stopped.

As soon as Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Xiang Ling timidly say: "Sister Qingwen, please send some warm water in."

When they were in Rongguo Mansion, the two were accustomed to each other, and Xiangling had always been honest and honest, so even though Qingwen had been her maidservant these few days, she was still a sister.

Qingwen hurriedly added a basin of warm water, knocked on the door, waited for Xiangling to stick out her head with red ears, and while handing over the basin, she said: "Now it's no better than before. I really can't be a sister-in-law. It will be done by calling the name of the slave and maidservant in the future."

Xiang Ling covered her mouth with a smile, took the copper basin, and said in a low voice: "My sister is a good-looking person, and who will be right about the future?"

With that, he closed the door again.

These words...

Qingwen frowned for a long while, unable to tell whether it was a resistance or a calmness. In short, there was nothing to look forward to.

After a short while, another little maid who was assigned to this room also arrived, and the two went to feather dusters, rags and other things, and began their daily morning routine sweeping.

Not to mention the outside world.

But he said that Sun Shaozong had his arms pillowed, leaning lazily on the bed, raised his two hairy legs high, and fiddled with the little clothes on the crossbar, but there was nothing in his heart.

After he established his prestige in house arrest that day, it was calm and quiet in Shuntian Mansion, and there was no abnormality.

Either the traitor had a good psychological quality and was not frightened by this bluffing method at all; or his previous inference was wrong, and the perpetrator was not a roster found from house arrest.

If it is the former, the clue is broken; but if it is the latter...

"Master is going to get up right now?"

The voice that was as sweet as glutinous rice disrupted Sun Shaozong’s thoughts. When he saw Xiangling was already neatly dressed, he smiled and said, “It’s Xiumu around today. Your prophet will tell them both. When we finish our breakfast, let’s Let’s go to the Flower Fair in the Hell Temple together."

Xiang Ling was overjoyed when he heard this. Yu Qian and Sun Chengye had moved out yesterday morning. Those who were able to go to the flower fair in the afternoon seemed to be less interested in Ruan Rong and Sister You, and Xiang Ling was not good at taking the initiative. Mention this.

Now that Sun Shaozong has promised to accompany him, he is naturally not afraid that the two daughters will no longer be interested.

So she hurriedly called Qingwen to come in, dress and wash herself to serve Sun Shaozong, and then went to the hall happily.

When Qingwen came in and saw Sun Shaozong only wearing shorts and showing bronzed muscles, she was a little uncomfortable at the moment, twisting her eyes and wandering, she didn't dare or dare to touch it, but she was busy making mistakes. 'The fault.

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong is currently in the time of the sage, and he has no reaction to her ‘shocking’.

That's the case. When Qingwen finally took the water to the outside living room, her cheeks were red hot like charcoal fire, and she could be said to be very bright with the sister-in-law Song.

Fearing that the little maid would see something, she bowed her head and went outside with the copper basin. She was about to throw her hand out, but suddenly she saw someone from the corridor peering into the room.

"pink clouds?"

Qingwen couldn't help but said in surprise: "Why did you run here now?"

She asked Caixia to come over to find out that she was right, but this morning, when the small kitchen was busy, where did she spare time?

Especially when Caixia is a newcomer, she is more likely to get into trouble because of her laziness.

"I……"

Caixia pinched the corner of her clothes, and said nonchalantly: "I heard that you went to the mansion there a few days ago, but...Have you ever heard about Sanye Huan?"

Qingwen also heard Yuanyang mention the reason for her being demoted outside. At this time, seeing that she was still inquiring about Jia Huan’s news, an evil fire suddenly surged in her heart, and she splashed dirty water on the flowerbed. Coldly said: "You only care about him, but why don't you ask, has he ever missed you?!"

Caixia had suffered from these days, but she had lost her previous perseverance. Seeing that Qingwen was suddenly annoyed, she thought she was still remembering the poisoning of Aunt Zhao, so Ai Ai said, "San Ye never harmed Baoyu. , They are all Aunt Zhao..."

"Have never been harmed?!"

Holding the empty basin, Qingwen raised her eyebrows and said: "Isn't it a good thing for Baoyu to burn Baoyu's eyes in the first place?!"

Hearing her mention it again, Caixia gritted her silver teeth and struck her neck and said: "That's also your second master treasure, first touch her hand in my clothes, and the third master is annoyed to fight the injustice!"

Qingwen was stunned when she heard that, thinking about Baoyu drinking a few more glasses that day, she might not be able to do this and other things, she immediately relieved most of the anger in her chest, and even her spirits collapsed~www.readwn.com~ With a wry smile, he shook his head and said, "Fine, nothing, how about the two of their brothers, what does it have to do with us right now?"

As he said, he turned his head and walked in, and said: "You don't need to ask me about the old third. If you met the Xue family that day, please ask him if he is living with him all day. one place!"

"Girl, girl!"

Before he finished his words, he saw a rude lady rushing over and asked with a smile: "Is the second master in your house?"

Qingwen turned around suspiciously, and said, "What? Are you looking for Erye for something?"

"Our family is here."

The woman smiled and said, "It's Uncle Xue from Zijin Street. I heard that our grandfather had asked him something. Now that the matter is done, I came here to talk to us too."

This really means that Cao Cao is here.

Qingwen glanced at Caixia, and confessed that the woman was waiting outside, and then went inside to tell her. When she came out again, Caixia was long gone.
