boudoir

Chapter 73 Fight!

Guo Xia stopped before the pair of carp lanterns.He just frowned, maybe because he was so ugly.

Yu turned her head and asked Aunt Qian: "Who did this?"

Mrs. Qian continued to ask, then turned around and said, "It's Miss Nine."

Yu frowned, and said to Guo Xia, "There are still a lot of lanterns bought by the mansion later, please, sir."

Guo Xia glanced at the words on the lamp again, and then walked away again.

Huanhua was pulling Liuli under the plum tree not far away, and he couldn't help but patted his chest when he saw this scene: "It's so dangerous. Liuli, why don't you make some more beautiful lights? You didn't see the appearance of the lady just now!" Liuli fights against injustice.

Liuli spread her hands: "What are you fighting for? Anyway, I'm just a foil."

Huanhua also understood the inside story, but still comforted him: "Don't say that..."

The wives accompanied Guo Xia to the depths of the plum grove, and Liuli was also preparing to take Huanhua to the Xiaokua courtyard to have tea quietly. He rushed out and said: "There is a ghost! There is a ghost!" Yu Shi and Guo Xia stood in the front, they came too fast and couldn't dodge, and they were immediately bumped into their arms!

Yu said angrily: "Where did the servant come from, what kind of appearance is there to run around in the garden?!"

The maidservants who were accompanying her had already come to press down, and as soon as Yu's words fell, one of them exclaimed: "Fifth Miss?!" The maidservants next to her also immediately let go: "Why is it Fifth Miss?! "

Yanhua got up from the ground, her eyes were full of horror, her hairpin was off, and her hair was messed up. She pointed to the inside of the plum forest and shouted in panic: "There is a ghost! There is a ghost! ... I saw a ghost with disheveled hair. Under that plum tree, it seems to be Cuiying! She is coming this way..."

When Cuiying's name came out, everyone present except Guo Xia was shocked!Mrs. Yu suddenly became dizzy, and hurriedly supported Mrs. Qian beside her, opened her eyes to see Yanhua's distraught appearance, and immediately became angry: "Take Miss Wu down!" Yanhua struggled: " It's true! It's really Cuiying!"

The girls also all gathered around, Yuhua stood up, and said softly to Yu Shi: "Yan'er thinks she misjudged and was frightened, mother and husband should not be distracted, hurry up and watch the lanterns. I'll help Yan'er to sit on the waterside pavilion."

Everyone was worrying about how to end it, Yuhua's words were like giving away a step for nothing.But at this time, Guo Xia couldn't be in the mood to appreciate the lanterns anymore, so he said: "What the third girl said is true. There are so many lanterns prepared in the house, and I can't finish them all at once. I happen to be a little thirsty, why don't we go back to the house together go."

Yu Shi could only nod.

Suddenly disturbed by this, the old lady also felt troubled in her heart, everyone reluctantly talked and laughed for a while, and then went back to the front yard.Guo Xia said that she would go back to her room to tidy up her clothes, so she said goodbye first, leaving a place for them to deal with the aftermath.

There were no outsiders in the room, so Yu let Yanhua in. Yanhua's hair and clothes were tidied up a little, but she still looked devastated.The old lady felt angry when she saw it, and said in a deep voice: "What happened, it's worth your embarrassment in front of your husband!"

Yan Hua opened her eyes wide in fear: "Old lady, I, I saw Cuiying..."

With tears in her eyes, Nie clutched her palms beside her, several times trying to speak out but daring not to speak out.

The old lady was trembling with anger: "How dare you talk nonsense! Qian Changsheng just went to check it himself, and there is only a scarecrow in clothes under the tree. Where is Cuiying?! You are a girl, what are you going to do there if you have nothing to do?" ?!"

This is exactly what Liuli wants to know.That place is close to Xiaokuayuan, so He Yanhua ran there alone, maybe he wanted to trip her up, but was frightened by a dummy?However, she wandered around there every day, so why didn't she know there was a scarecrow there?
At this time, someone from Qian Changsheng's family had someone come in with a life-sized dummy in a dress: "Old lady, this is what I just found under the tree."

Although I knew it was fake, but when I thought of the jungle in the middle of the night, I couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.Yanhua stared at the dummy and said: "No, no, that ghost can leave, how can this dummy leave?"

"Still talking nonsense!"

Mrs. Yu scolded, "Do you know what big mistake you made today?! Mr. Guo specially invited you to teach you how to be virtuous. Now that you have made such a big mess, I'm afraid it will make other girls become ashamed." In Mr.'s eyes, you are a wild girl who has no rules. During the day, you have no words and deeds, so you will be spared. I don't want you to die without repentance, but dare to confront Mr. at night! Are you trying to make everyone like you? ?!"

Yan Hua lay on the ground, not daring to breathe.

The old lady pointed at Mrs. Nie: "You have such a good daughter!"

Nie hurriedly stood up and knelt down: "My daughter-in-law knows my mistake..."

"Now that she has paid homage to Master, she has offended Master again. Tomorrow, she will be handed over to Mr. Guo! Strictly deal with it!"

The old lady tapped on the case of the coffee table, every word was as heavy as a rock.

The celebration of the Shangyuan Festival turned into flying smoke in this farce. The word "Cuiying" in Yanhua's mouth awakened the doubts buried in some people's hearts like a curse. Since He Fu entered Beijing, he died in the backyard There are countless people, but none of them like Cuiying and Tian'er knew that they were killed, but they were always uncertain who the murderer was.

Originally, as time went by, this incident would have passed, but when this incident was brought up suddenly, and it happened to happen near Xiaokuayuan, it had to make people wonder, for example, whether what Yanhua saw was a scarecrow or a scarecrow. Really ghost?Why is there a scarecrow in Merlin?If it had existed long ago, why didn't they find it when Qian Changsheng's family led so many people to clean up Merlin in the afternoon?Also, if it is really a ghost, then why did it happen to Yanhua?If it wasn't a ghost, then who was the person who put the scarecrow there?

The back garden suddenly became a forbidden place in people's hearts. Those who said that Cuiying had been wronged, those who said that Xiaokuayuan was ominous, and those who speculated on where the scarecrow came from. I copied such a "big event" as "Women's Training" a hundred times in the book, and ignored the past in this inexplicable panic.Now in the garden at night, except for Liuli's master and servant, there is no one in sight.Even Feng Chun'er and others found excuses and moved out one after another.

Liuli also seemed a little preoccupied, and didn't talk much these days.She doesn't believe it's a ghost, even if Cuiying has a grievance in her heart and wants to report it, she can't find Yanhua, at least she should go to Qi's first, right?Yanhua said that the ghost could walk and move, but later turned into a scarecrow. It was obvious that this was a trap set by someone.But the person who set the trap put the "ghost" under the plum tree near Xiaokuayuan, so people have to be wary of such a calculation.Liuli knew it well, so she told Rui'er to go out less, and even if she met people, she should speak as little as possible to avoid disputes.

Rui'er is timid, and she has been a little out of her mind these days.Shuangxi was not afraid, like an ordinary person, but said that day: "This 'ghost' is strange, if you don't come to Xiaokua courtyard to kill you, you will fall under the plum tree to scare people!" There seemed to be something in the words.Yuegui Haitang didn't know about these things, but only vaguely heard about the death of Cuiying Tian'er. The two were simple and honest, and they were used to walking in the countryside when they were young. They discussed it in private and felt that it was not terrible.

At noon that day, the two went to the big kitchen to get dinner. It happened that Yanhua's maid, Fu Rong, and Zhenhua's maid, Luo'er, each led people in front of the queue, so they had to follow behind.Hearing Luo'er chatting with Fu Rong, she asked, "Have you ever found out what happened in the garden?" Fu Rong folded her arms and said, "Ma'am won't let you go down and investigate, saying that she is afraid of making people panic. Who caused this trouble, everyone?" Don't you feel like a bright mirror in your heart? Whose house does the 'ghost' belong to, and whoever puts the scarecrow there is the most convenient, so there's no need to talk about it!"

Yuegui thought about it, didn't Cuiying originally belonged to Nine Girls House?Isn't the one closest to Merlin the Xiaokuayuan?She meant to say that the scarecrow was taken out by the people from the small cross courtyard to scare the fifth girl?I feel a little anxious.

Luo'er glanced at Yuegui and the two, chuckled lightly and said, "Who put that up?"

Furong understood her eyes, and raised her voice immediately: "Who else can it be? Whoever doesn't deal with our fifth girl is the one! Except for those who live in the garden, it is impossible for others to carry such a big dummy to the garden to scare them." Miss, right? Mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law don’t dare? The eldest lady is kind enough not to allow further investigation, if she continues to investigate, I guarantee that she will not even be able to live in the back garden!"

"You bullshit!"

Now even Haitang could tell, her round face flushed purple, she pointed at her and said: "Our girl is not scary!"

Yue Gui also said: "Why do you say it's our girl? Didn't the third girl get angry with the fifth girl that day? Besides, why didn't that ghost scare others, but the fifth girl? If she didn't run around, she could scare the fifth girl." Are you looking after her?" Although the words were reasonable, after all Liuli had ordered her first, she didn't dare to confront her head-on, and she refuted without arrogance.

When Fu Rong heard this, she ran down the stone steps in two steps, and slapped her face twice: "You stupid hoof, how dare you chew on our girl, who is the fifth girl, are you right?! What kind of person is that of you, you are just a shameless person who stuck to the He Mansion, and you are so crazy that you can tell the slaves to call the serious Miss Master, I am here to teach you a lesson for Madam!"

Yuegui was beaten back two steps, Haitang hastened to support her.Although Yuegui people are simple-minded, they are not soft-tempered. In the past, they lived in Qingkou Lane and were the ones who stood up for their younger brothers. Now that they heard that Liuli has become a person who is stuck with He Fu, the vigor of protecting weaknesses in his bones is gone. When he came up, he stretched his arms and grabbed Fu Rong's shoulders, twisted her body and knocked her to the ground, and slapped her several times first.

Furong has been walking around in the mansion, where can I beat the laurel that just came in from outside?At the moment, he was slapped so helplessly.

Luo'er was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Someone is coming! Beating someone! Come soon!"

The two maids brought by Furong were serving dishes, but when they heard that their own people had suffered, they also rushed out, grabbed Yuegui and started beating.Naturally, Haitang couldn't see Yuegui being bullied, so she pulled their hair and shoved them.
