Flowers are expensive

Chapter 247 Cabbage's Jealousy 2
The middle-aged woman said with a sad face: "Ma'am, you don't know, that Aunt Wen has disappeared! Today, the young master sent someone to search the house and the city, but they didn't find anyone. , I just had to go to the bottom of the well to catch people! That's why my young lady sent a servant over to ask, lest Aunt Wen feel unhappy, so she hid here from you."

You Xian'er was taken aback, looked at Dong'er and asked the woman: "Why did you disappear? How could it disappear if it was so good? Don't just go to the temple."

"I also sent someone from the temple to ask, but I didn't go back at all. Besides, the master's funeral has not yet passed, so why should she go back privately?"

"Where does that go?"

"Are you really not here, madam?" The middle-aged woman asked again.

You Xian'er felt a little suspicious in the woman's tone, as if she believed that Aunt Wen was here.She was quite dissatisfied and said: "Why should I hide her? Why would a good living person hide? I would like to ask, what happened to the house, why did she disappear?"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I don't mean that, my servant! Madam, don't get angry, this servant is just asking questions. Since I'm not here, I have to go back and answer."

"Wait," You Xian'er stopped her and asked, "When did your aunt disappear?"

"I just missed it last night. I searched for it all night, but I couldn't find it all day."

"I don't even know where I went?"

"I don't know! But some people said that she left the city with someone. The young master has sent someone to chase him out of the city. I heard from others that she fell in love with a man earlier, and I can't wait until the master's funeral Hurry up and go..."

"Nonsense!" You Xian'er scolded angrily, "Where did you hear such nonsense! She is the serious master of your family, how dare you slander her like that!"

"Your maidservant's mouth is broken, this servant's servant deserves to die!" Seeing that You Xian'er was angry, the middle-aged woman hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Aunt Wen is a person who seeks Buddha wholeheartedly. How could she run away with a man? What kind of gossip is spreading? She should be pulled out and beaten forty times! You go back and tell your eldest wife that he is not with me. Here, maybe I can go somewhere to relax. If I get her letter, I will send someone to tell the family."

The middle-aged woman was very grateful, and then followed Kale out.After the two left, Dong'er said, "This is strange, where can Aunt Wen go?"

You Xian'er said: "Perhaps go out and hide for a few days. Those people in the Lin Mansion are not easy-going lamps, just look at that person just now! Let's talk about it in two days."

After waking up the next morning, You Xian'er was a little worried, and asked Dong'er to send someone to the Lin Mansion to inquire.Dong'er saw Ganlan when she came out of the Nuan Pavilion, and said casually, "Go to Lin's mansion and ask, has Aunt Wen found it?"

Gan Lan glanced at Dong'er and said, "I sprained my leg just now, and I can't run. Sister Dong'er should send someone else to avoid delaying you and your wife's delivery of errands!"

"You sprained your ankle? When did it happen?"

"Just now!" Cabbage said confidently.

Dong'er knew that Kalan was not happy in her heart, so she didn't bother with her, so she sent Suying to go.Just as Suying left the yard, Lihua brought Chun'er here.Dong'er went up to meet her and said with a smile, "Madam got up so early, why don't you sleep for a while?"

"I want to go out for a stroll, so I'll say hello to the wet nurse first."

"It's good to go out for a stroll, but bring more people with you."

Lihua glanced into the yard and said, "Is Suying there? Why don't you lend her to me today? She said last night that she knows her best in the city!"

"Unfortunately, Suying went out on business."

As soon as the words fell, Gan Lan rushed to grab the words: "Why don't you go, slave! The slave is also familiar with the city, no worse than Suying!"

Dong'er turned her head and glanced at her and asked, "Didn't you sprain your ankle? Now you can see results immediately? Did you just fool me?"

Kale's tongue was almost bitten by himself, what a pity!She wanted to block Dong'er just now, but Dong'er blocked her instead.Before she could speak, Lihua said, "If you sprain your ankle, you can rest at home!"

"Actually...it's not that great..."

"That's impossible, no one serves me with swollen legs. How about it," Li Hua said to Dong'er, "Don't you still have turnip leaves? How about lending her to me?"

"That!"

When Li Hua entered the Nuan Pavilion to say hello to You Xian'er, Gan Lan stood outside the door so angry that her face almost turned green.Seeing Wuye coming out of the room, she stared so hard that her eyes almost popped out.Wuye knew she was unhappy, so she ignored her and went straight to the Nuan Pavilion.

After a while, Lihua took Chun'er Wuye and two palace guards out.Not long after they left, Suying came back.Seeing Ganlan leaning against the gate with a sad face, Suying asked: "Who are you looking at? You look unhappy, who provoked you?"

Cabbage rolled her eyes and said: "It's really time for you to leave! You will miss a good show once you leave!"

"The fire is not too small! Whoever provoked you to get angry at whom, why are you angry with me?" After Suying finished speaking, she was about to go in, but Gan Lan said abruptly: "Ms. Ewha called you just now. It's a pity to lead them to the city for a stroll..."

"Really?" Suying asked in surprise, "Where is she?"

"Let's go!" Gan Lan said, leaning on the door with her hands folded, "Are you still waiting for you to come back? There are not only you and me in this yard, but also others! You are not here, so naturally someone will try their best to show respect to Mrs. Ewha. Where are you waiting for?"

Suying's expression changed immediately, and she asked, "Who went there? Sister Dong'er?"

"How could Sister Dong'er show such kindness? Some people pretend to be noble on weekdays, but they are very gloomy behind their backs!"

"Turtle leaves?"

Kalan sneered and said, "Who else is there besides her? She said she didn't want to curry favor with Mrs. Lihua, but you've seen it all. As soon as she heard that you weren't here, she immediately joined her!"

Suying was a little angry, she glanced at Gan Lan and asked, "Why didn't you go? Don't you also want to serve the new lady?"

"Can I snatch her? They are all sisters staying together. I don't want to make everyone unhappy because of such a small matter. Anyway, Mrs. Ewha didn't ask for me by name at the beginning. She didn't seem to like me when I went. But you, the great opportunity was given to Wuye, you have to be careful about her in the future, she is not the same color at all!" After finishing speaking, Gan Lan turned her jealous eyelids and walked into the courtyard.

Suying stomped her feet angrily, cursing, "This turnip leaf is really good at taking advantage of loopholes! On the surface, it looks like it has nothing to do with the world, but it uses such tricks behind the scenes, it's abominable!" But Lihua and the others had already left. It's useless for Suying to get angry again, and she can only give up after muttering a few words.

Besides, Lihua and her party of five left the gate of the house, led by Wuye to the south.Most of Jingyou City's shops are in the south, the east is the residence of big families, and the west and north are ordinary people and foreigners.Lihua wanted to go shopping, so Wuye led her to Xisha Street in the south.

When you arrive at Xisha Street, there are shops on both sides of the street, with everything.After visiting a few shops, Lihua found it boring, and planned to look elsewhere, but when she reached the corner of the street, she suddenly saw an inconspicuous small shop, which seemed to sell paintings, so she went in on a whim.But as soon as she walked in, a man who looked like a servant yelled at her viciously: "Stroll elsewhere! There is no business here!"

Lihua froze for a moment, this impolite guy looked like the underling of a bully in an ancient costume TV series, with an arrogant and domineering face, as if no one was paying attention to him.She asked, "Why don't you do business with the door open?"

"If you don't do it, you don't do it," the tone of this "bully's subordinate" is really rampant, "You have to go to another house, and everything here is bought!"

"Really?" Li Huahuan glanced at the furnishings in the store, they were all calligraphy, painting, old books, pens, inkstones and so on.Seeing that this "bully subordinate" didn't seem to be able to read or write, she asked again: "Who bought it? It doesn't look like you, does it?"

"You don't care who bought it! You woman is so talkative! I've already told you that this shop is closed for business, why are you still here? Hurry up and leave!"

Lihua glanced at the skinny little old man standing behind the counter, who looked very much like a tenant oppressed by the landlord, then pointed to him and said, "The shopkeeper is still here! It's up to him to decide whether to sell it or not." , what are you yelling about here?"

The little old man looked embarrassed and lowered his head, not daring to speak. "The bully's men" got a little angry, raised his hand to scare Lihua and said, "What an ignorant woman! Are you noisy? There are shops everywhere outside, not just this one. Go somewhere else..." Before finishing speaking, His face suddenly changed, and he withdrew his hand with a whoosh, and immediately retracted it when he was holding his head up just now, and the anger on his face disappeared completely.I saw him looking respectfully at the two guards behind Lihua, and said in his mouth: "You two, I never thought it was you, I'm rude, I'm rude!"

The corner of Lihua's mouth twitched, happy!It seems that Prince You's Mansion is really the number one family in the city, even the guards are so honorable.As soon as he went out, he was completely clean.

One of the guards asked the "bully subordinate" with a straight face: "If you don't stay in your Lin residence, why run here to show your prestige? If you dare to contradict my wife again, I will throw you into prison!"

"The bully's men" looked at Lihua blankly, and said to himself: "Madam?"

"Look at me?" Lihua teased him deliberately, "Then who do you think I am?"

"No, no, no!" "The bully's men" hurriedly waved his hands, then hurriedly knelt down and saluted Lihua anxiously, "I heard that a new lady has arrived in Youwang's mansion, and my young master is going to congratulate him, but he heard People say that the prince hasn't come back yet, so he didn't go to see him. The little one deserves to die! I didn't know it was the madam who came here just now, please forgive the young one!"

"Okay, get up!" Lihua didn't like the etiquette of kneeling and prostrating, so she walked towards the counter after speaking.When the skinny little old man was about to salute, Lihua waved his hands and said, "You can save yourself! I just want to ask you, is this shop really not doing business?"

The little old man glanced at "the bully's men" with some fear, and nodded helplessly.Lihua felt a little strange, and asked again: "If you don't do it, what are you doing with the door open? Who bought all the things in this shop? What a big deal! Could it be that you, the shopkeeper, also bought it?" Bar?"

The little old man was about to speak, when the "bully's men" beside him immediately interjected: "If you go back to Madam, this small shop has already been sold."

"Who did you give it to? You?" Lihua asked incredulously.

"How can a young one have such ability! It was given to our Lin family. The shopkeeper doesn't want to do business in the city anymore, he wants to go home and rest, so today my young master sent me here to close the shop."

"Closing the shop?" Lihua smiled sideways, "Why do I look like I'm robbing the shop?"

"Ma'am, you're joking! How can such a thing happen in Jingyou City under the control of the prince? My young master has always followed the prince's lead, so why would he take the lead in doing illegal things? Ma'am, you are too worried!"

"Really?" Lihua asked the little old man.

The little old man nodded submissively, his hands in his sleeves trembling slightly. "The bully's men" hurriedly said again: "Ma'am, I want to find good calligraphy and paintings, this is easy! There is a calligraphy and painting shop on Hongmen Street in front of you, it is the business of our Lin family, you go and have a look, I am sure you will be able to see it." I love it! As long as you like it, just say a word, and I will send it to the palace for you!"
