Chapter 86 Rat Stew Soup

The old lady looked at her sideways: "I know you are doing it for money!" Although she was scolding, her eyes were not sharp.

Liuli hurriedly said: "The old lady knows everything, and I can't hide anything from you." While beating her leg again, she asked, "I don't know what birthday gift the old lady prepared for the third girl? Maybe let Liuli take a look at it."

The old lady suddenly fell silent, and said for a moment: "You don't know the details, the third girl usually celebrates her birthday in the main courtyard, and I pay for the banquet, and this year is no exception.

Liuli groaned, but fell silent.

The old lady celebrates Yuhua's birthday every year, how could Liuli not know?Asking her was just to make sure.

Liuli took the time to go back to Xiaokuayuan, and asked Shuangxi to hold a birthday gift for Yuhua. Although she had to be cautious in front of the old man, Liuli didn't really intend to give any unexpected gift, but it was according to the standards of Suhua and others.Yuegui wondered why Liuli still asked Shuangxi to do things. Liuli knew that they were stubborn, so she withdrew without going into details with them.

Soon it was the sixth day of the lunar new year, the girls still went to school today, had lunch in Wutong courtyard, and dinner was served in the main courtyard.

Shen Shi finished school, and the girls came directly to the main courtyard. It happened that the old lady had woken up from her afternoon nap, and it was still early for dinner, so they sat in the small flower hall and talked together.Biyun said: "Do you want to invite the eldest lady over?" The old lady thought for a while, and said: "Invite all the ladies, and Aunt Su, she is so bored in the room by herself, so I also invite her." Please come here."

Biyun was busy passing on the message.

Qingshang served refreshments to the girls, and the old lady casually asked them about their homework.Huanhua said: "In terms of homework, the third sister and the fourth sister are naturally the best. Yesterday, my husband asked us to write a small essay on family management, and the third sister was praised. The husband also said that the fourth sister's writing has a real style of everyone."

This girl is sincere and pure, and when she talked about Yuhua Shuhua's praise, she had a sincere smile on her face, as if she felt honored to have such an elder sister.

Yuhua's eyes were also filled with joy, but his face was still tight.Shuhua smiled, but said to the old lady: "Huan'er is also very hardworking."

The old lady happily said: "It's all good, just work harder."

Liuli followed the old lady, watching them without saying a word, but she was paying attention to Yanhua from the corner of her eye. She was the only one among the four who didn't mention her, so her expression turned bad.Liuli smiled quietly at her, and when she saw it, her eyebrows immediately stood up, and she slammed the cup on the table with a snort.

After sitting for a while, the wives arrived and brought some gadgets for Yuhua.Aunt Su was not feeling well, she hadn't got out of bed for two days, and someone brought a gift, but she didn't come.The old lady sighed and sent some supplements.

Taking advantage of the excitement of the crowd, Liuli said calmly: "The ladies are here, Liuli thinks it's better to invite Mr. Guo to sit?" The old lady thought for a while, nodded and said: "Mr. is not an ordinary person, let Biyun invite him. "

Immediately call Biyun, and let him go to Wutong Courtyard.

When the girls heard that Mr. Guo was coming, they all restrained themselves.Because Yuhua Shuhua is considered a favorite student, she also deliberately hopes to get close to her, and her behavior can't help but be respectful.Yan Hua frowned, obviously, the arrival of the husband made tonight's dinner boring.

Naturally, the wives also have their own thoughts. Mrs. Liang has always had a heart of comparison, so she immediately cast her eyes on Mrs. Yu.When Mrs. Yu heard that the old lady was going to invite Guo Xia to Yuhua's birthday party, she was also very happy, and hurriedly ordered the maid to prepare a seat.

Just when she was ready, she heard the maid from outside lifted the curtain of the concubine Xiang and came in: "Mr. is here." After a while, Guo Xia walked in, wearing a pink and white shirt and a light blue skirt. A green palace sash, tied with a jade ring to press the skirt.There is also a simple snail bun on the head, with two pearl flowers inserted, and a black velvet wiped on the forehead to loosely restrain the hair on the sideburns. Perhaps it was for the banquet, so she put on a thin layer of powder and daisies. The bi-color bead buckle is not so light.

Guo Xia also brought a gift, which was a stone inkstone, which looked fine and smooth, and was of excellent quality.Yuhua knew the goods, so he immediately said: "This inkstone is very valuable, sir, I am so generous with the gift, the student is ashamed to accept it." Guo Xia smiled and said: "Take it." Yuhua can't push it any further, so he Let the servant girl collect it carefully.

Shuhua looked at Yuhua's hands, and suddenly cast her eyes on Liuli, but she didn't say anything, she just shook her fan and looked away again.

During the meal, two tables were still reserved, because Mrs. Yu and others were waiting on the old lady, Liuli left her side before the food was served, took a soup cup and walked out the door when no one was paying attention, and returned to the dining room after a while, under the two walls Many maids and maids were already standing, and the candles were shining brightly. The girls had already served the table, and the feast was almost over.The wide-sleeved top that Liuli was wearing today, when she passed by Yanhua, she pretended to take the sesame paste from the next door, blocking the candlelight, and replaced the soup cup in front of her with the one hidden in her sleeve.

Whenever there is a banquet in the mansion, each person has a small soup pot for stewing soup, so as not to affect others.

Liuli returned to her desk, lifted the lid of her soup pot, picked up a small spoon and took a sip.Today's stew is Gastrodia squab. The whole pigeon is stewed until it melts in your mouth. The aroma of Gastrodia elata and ginseng slices is very strong. It's really delicious!

Liuli said to Huanhua, "Hurry up and eat!"

Huanhua was about to ask her what she meant when he heard Yanhua frowned and looked at his soup pot: "Why does this pigeon soup have a strange smell today?" Huanhua pretended that she was playing tricks and said, "Fifth Sister It’s weird, so everything is weird. Doesn’t the stewed soup with ginseng slices have a weird taste? It’s also worth making a fuss about.”

Yanhua looked up and saw that everyone was eating with gusto, so she gave her a look, and then scooped up the "pigeon" and started to eat.

Although the candlelight in the room was bright, the maidservant was walking around, so she couldn't see clearly.Yan Hua took a bite and felt bored, and said: "What kind of broken pigeon! It bites like rotten tofu!" Then he fished out the "pigeon" and put it in a bone dish.Seeing that the pigeon was fished out, Suhua regretted it, and said: "If you don't want to eat it, let me eat it, why throw her away?" Yanhua pushed the bone dish over and said: "You eat it if you like it! Suhua took it seriously, and was about to move her mouth between the chopsticks, when suddenly her eyes stopped moving, she stared at the plate and said, "What is this? Why are there so many hairs?"

Zhenhua and Huanhua next door both leaned over to look at it. Yanhua also stretched his neck, poked it with his chopsticks, and the head of a sharp-billed monkey emerged from a pile of fur. Mung bean's big eyes had turned gray. , as she moved it, an unbearable stench floated above the dining table!

"mouse!"

Huanhua couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, dragged on Liuli's sleeves and knelt down to vomit.Yuhua was so frightened that Huarong turned pale, and immediately ran to the side of Mrs. Yu, Suhua and others immediately ran out to retch.Yanhua remembered that he drank half a bowl of soup and ate a mouthful of rat meat just now, but he didn't even have time to vomit, and passed out as soon as his eyes went dark!

Liuli quickly embraced Huanhua in her arms, and said repeatedly: "Did you read it wrong? How could there be mice? It's obviously pigeon soup!"

Huanhua vomited until bile came out, grabbed her arm tightly and said, "It's a mouse! It's a mouse! I can't take it anymore..." She was crying and clutching her chest, looking very painful.Liuli said apologetically, "You go over there and sit for a while, and I'll ask Luhe to pour you a bowl of tea."

At this time, Mrs. Yu and the others heard that there was an accident here, so they hurriedly called the servant girl over to inquire. When they heard that there was a dead mouse in the soup pot, they couldn't help trembling with fright, and hurriedly asked someone to help Yanhua first. She didn't dare to let the old lady and Guo Xia know, she just said that the soup was not clean, she gave Qi a wink, walked out quickly, and called Caiqin from the corridor: "Who is in charge of the big kitchen today? ! Call her over!"

Afterwards, Mrs. Qi came out. Hearing what the servant girl said, he couldn't calm down anymore, and immediately reprimanded: "Bring me the one from Chen Man's family!"

Chen Man's family is currently in charge of the small stove, and she is responsible for the soup stew. When she heard that there was a noise in the soup, she was so frightened that she couldn't stand still, and even ran and climbed to the main courtyard. The dead mouse slapped the head immediately: "What's the matter with the mouse in the soup?!"

Chen Man's family knelt down and knocked their heads in a bang bang sound: "Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me! The servant has no idea what's going on with this mouse! Even if the servant has 1 guts, he doesn't dare to be confused about this matter! !” She knew that this incident was going to be fatal, so she kowtowed to the ground non-stop, and after a while, blood marks were left on the bluestone bricks.

Qi couldn't control his anger, and with Yu staring at him coldly, his lungs were about to explode.On the other hand, Nanny Wu, the steward of the third room, rushed over after hearing about the appearance of the mouse, walked up to her and said, "In my opinion, this mouse doesn't look like it's been boiled, but it looks like it's dead. It was thrown in temporarily for a few days, if it had been boiled, wouldn’t the skin and flesh have rotted early? How can it be so complete. Madam might as well look in another direction.”

After thinking about it, Mrs. Qi made sense, so she left Chen Man's family here, turned around and said, "Go and call Huan'er out."

Huanhua rested in the side room for half a day, feeling better, and was about to go out with the maidservants, when the old lady and the others realized something was wrong. Let Dr. Wu come, and Biyun come to invite Qi and Yu.

Mrs. Qi entered the dining room and had no choice but to report in detail what had happened. The old lady and the others didn't see the mouse with their own eyes.Mrs. Qi asked Huanhua: "Is there anyone who touched the five girls' soup pot just now? Have you ever seen it?"

Huanhua thought for a while, there were many people coming and going in the room, and no one seemed to have approached deliberately.Only Liuli took the sesame paste over there, but she wouldn't believe it was made by Liuli even if she was killed. Besides, where did she find the dead mouse?So she shook her head firmly and said, "No, no one has ever approached."
