Chapter 13 Aunt is shameless
knowingly, how can such a big battle be to visit the garden? Besides, what's there to do in the broken yard of this three girls who have no mother?
Aunt Liu put a finger painted with bright red Dancome on the corners of her lips and smiled lazily, "Oh, the third girl is really joking. I'm just a rough person. I'm not so interested, but I lost a hairpin and I don't remember where it fell. I just looked around."
After saying that, he glanced at Qin Yunuan meaningfully. Humph, if this little hoof dares to stop him, he could just add one more charge of disrespectful elders.
"Well, that's it," Qin Yunuan lengthened her tone and smiled indifferently. "Then aunt, please. Baochuan is about to get up. I have to go and have a look." After saying that, he didn't care about the maid who searched the yard and walked straight to the small room in the east.
"You have searched carefully for me. You can't fall into a mouse hole." Aunt Liu put on a big airs. Humph, when I find the white jade hairpin, you will look good.
Qin Yunuan's yard is not big, but Aunt Liu tossed for almost an hour. At this time, she stood anxiously in the middle of the yard and asked the maid and mother in a low voice over and over again, "How can it not be? Don't be lazy for me, one by one, search carefully for me.
Compared with Aunt Liu's anxiety, Qin Yunuan looked extremely calm. Looking at the good sun today, she simply moved the embroidery frame to the yard. While holding a flower needle, she supervised Qin Baochuan to practice big characters on the sand with a small wooden stick.
I can't afford to buy pen, ink and rice paper, and I can only let Qin Baochuan do it on the sand. Fortunately, Qin Baochuan has high understanding, patience and learning quickly.
At this time, Qin Baochuan was trying to draw the four characters of "courtesy, righteousness and shame", but when he wrote the three words "courtesy, righteousness and shame", he stopped.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yunuan looked at Qin Baochuan holding the little wooden stick with a thoughtful look, and simply supported his work, "Why don't you write the word 'shame'?"
Qin Baochuan's black eyes turned, glanced at Aunt Liu slightly, and quickly turned back. He looked at Qin Yunuan eagerly, and Qin Yunuan suddenly understood.
"Really," Qin Yunuan pointed to a few words on the sand and smiled, "they can be 'shameless', but we can't be 'shameless'. Add the word 'shame' quickly, or my sister won't teach you literacy anymore."
After saying that, he raised his head again and looked at Aunt Liu, who was already a little angry, and smiled, "Let my aunt laugh. I don't know if I have found my aunt's things?"
Aunt Liu was already worried. Hearing Qin Yunuan's sister and brother's words, she didn't expect to mock herself at all. Now Qin Yunuan asked, but replied with a stiff face, "No," and then raised some confidence and said, "But I will find it sooner or later."
"Auntie, I've searched all over the yard, but I really didn't find the jade hairpin." The mother who came to report the news was a little worried.
"That's all right, let's go first." It's not a big deal to spend a long time here. If you fall into people's talk, it's even more thankless.
Unexpectedly, before Aunt Liu stepped out of the threshold, the little maid came outside and reported, "Auntie, your white jade hairpin has been found."
"Have you found it?" Aunt Liu obviously didn't believe it. Where did you find it?"
"In the stable in the backyard."
The stable is an outer courtyard, and most of them are where the male servants gather. If you walk dozens of steps east from the stable, it is the yard where the servants and slaves live. Aunt Liu is a woman in the inner courtyard. How could her hairpin fall into the outer courtyard, which is inevitably fascinating.
"Which hand and foot must be unclean, it must be." Aunt Liu stood aside with a veil, gritting her teeth and cursing.
Today, Dou Qing'e was dressed in a light purple shirt with a pair of goldfinch hairpins on her head. Compared with Aunt Liu's heavy makeup, she had a unique amorous feelings. She picked out the end of the tea and did not raise her head. She only replied, "I just ordered people to check it. Those servants in the backyard were either sent out to work yesterday or have evidence to prove it. There is no time to steal your hairpin.
"Sister, don't believe me. This is the white jade hairpin given to me by the master. I used to be reluctant to wear it. If it hadn't been stolen, how could I have left it in the backyard?" Aunt Liu stepped forward and said, "My sister is always the most fair. This time, you can't be selfish."
"I'm selfish?" Dou Qing'e only felt funny, "Whose privateness did I bias? This big guy is all here. Do you think about it? Who have I favored from beginning to end?
In addition to Dou Qing'e and Aunt Liu, Aunt Chang, Qin Yunuan and the maids who had just searched with great fanfare stood in the yard, each with their heads down and silent.
Although Qin Yunuan's elegant dress is inconspicuous today, it also made Dou Qing'e look more. No wonder her daughter was so angry for the three blood marks last night. In her opinion, this is not only because her daughter's own appearance was temporarily destroyed, but also because Qin Yunuan in this lieutenant's mansion is getting more and more successful. It is also becoming more and more eye-catching, but it doesn't matter. After all, she is just a common girl, still within her control.
"In a word," Aunt Liu said confidently, "I went to my sister's place yesterday to say goodbye, and then to my own yard. In the afternoon, I only came to the third girl for a few laps. I haven't been to other places, let alone mention the stables." After saying that, she stared at Qin Yunuan's noble and elegant face again. Yesterday, she obviously threw the white jade hairpin in the flower bed of the little girl's yard. How could she not find it today? It's really strange.
"Oh, is this all suspicious of me?" Dou Qing'e's head was biased, and her tone was provocative and arrogant.
"How dare my sister," Aunt Liu immediately flattered again. "Not to mention a white jade hairpin, even the sister of the gold house and silver house look down on her. My sister came from a large family. I haven't seen anything good, and I can't steal it, right? My sister is usually busy enough. I don't If you make such a fuss plainly, there is only..." After saying that, he only glanced at Qin Yunuan again.
However, Qin Yunuan was very calm and didn't even blink her eyes, forcing Aunt Liu to say directly, "Three girls, aunt also knows that you are living a hard time. At this time, you have made a mistake, just admit it..."
"Aunt Liu's words are strange," Qin Yu warmed her lips and said unsurprisedly, "Aren't they all found in the stables? How can you blame me again?"
Aunt Liu also pulled down his face. "A few days ago, there was a case in the outside Liu's house in the suburbs of Beijing. They were all maids in the inner courtyard who first hid the jewelry of the women in the inner courtyard in the stable food tank, and then the groom took it to the outside pawnshop. In the end of a year, they were all 100 taels of silver. Out."
"But even so, I was not in the house yesterday. How can I have time to go to the outer courtyard to hide things?" Qin Yunuan looked like she was arguing. If she was just suspicious, now Aunt Liu has accused herself by name. Under nervousness, she just clenched a sachet in the sleeve cage.
"Oh, you don't have time. There is a maid in your yard. No matter how bad it is, isn't there still a little rabbit in your yard?" Aunt Liu waved her hand and said firmly.
"Baochuan is only five years old. How can he know so much?" Qin Yunuan's little face turned red, and her fingertips buckled a few points into the sleeve cage. This action just caught Dou Qing'e, who was watching coldly.
"What's in the sleeve cage?" Dou Qing'e opened her mouth leisurely. This sentence seemed to give Aunt Liu a lead. Aunt Liu also dragged up and shouted, "Okay, it's really a person with unclean hands and feet. What are you doing hidden? Why don't you take it out?" Reaching out, he directly pulled Qin Yunuan's sleeve, pulled the ground, and tried his best to take something out of Qin Yunuan's sleeve cage.
Qin Yunuan wanted to struggle, but she couldn't defeat Aunt Liu's rudeness. A red sachet on a white background was dragged out, and in the competition between the two, it was torn and torn into two pieces. As the dried flowers filled in the sachet fell, there was also a yellow rune paper folded into triangles.
"Okay," Aunt Liu picked up the yellow rune paper on the ground very quickly and shouted, "Surely, there are unclean things hidden. Sister, look, I don't know what the charm is painted on it. No wonder the house has been restless recently. The return date of the master's southern patrol has been pushed again and again. A while ago, many maid mothers have said a silver. Son, maybe it's all this charm.
"Shut up," Dou Qing'e stared fiercely, "Can you say such words as home restless? The master's late return was to accompany the eldest prince to observe the people's feelings. He only blamed those little maids for not being careful. However, she knew very well that 30 percent of those common silver were taken by her to subsidize her mother's family or put it into the shop, but she was very careful. She usually distributed a lot of money, and finally, she secretly took it back to her confidants.
This is not the time to care about this. Dou Qing'e restrained her anger, took the yellow charm handed over by Aunt Liu, opened it, and was stunned.
"Is this...?" Dou Qing'e looked up at Qin Yunuan, who had turned red.
When Qin Yunuan saw the time, she knelt down and cried, "It's not the peace charm of Lingtai Temple. My daughter went to beg for a long time before she came back. She specially sewed it in the sachet and put her mother's favorite peony dried flowers. She was ready to take it to her mother today. Aunt Liu framed her daughter of stealing her hairpin. Not to mention, she also falsely accused her daughter of cursing the whole family with a yellow charm. Now she has also pulled the sachet embroidered by her daughter for her mother. The mother wants to make the decision for her daughter.
"Ok, get up first." Dou Qing'e frowned. Although she has never liked this daughter, she still has to show her face. Moreover, this time, the Liu family is really too noisy.
