Chapter 173 Little strange, where does it point

In April, there are not many spring rains. Day by day, the wind is gentle and the sky is clear. Therefore, even if you can't go out to walk out in spring and swim in the river to enjoy the scenery, you can only lie on the edge of the window, or lean diagonally on a few, and "rest" accompanied by the sound of birds. The beautiful scenery does not feel bored at all, but occasionally You wandered nine nights, guessing what the teenager across the street was busy with. For a while, he didn't see him for a few days.

In fact, since the day he returned to the mansion, Yu Yu has never been to come to the government. He only asked the ribs to greet him from time to time. Sometimes he brought a nourishing recipe, or a few boxes of exquisite pastries from the market. Qiu Yue praised that the little gifts of the world are always very affordable.

The most diligent of the sisters was the fourth mother, but it was not like the previous time that she was always worried about Aunt Mei. Yijing thought that the fourth mother did not want her to worry, so she took the initiative to ask, and then she knew that it was really calm.

Xia Ke also said that according to the observation of Sanshun, Mother Song's mother and son still had no contact with Dr. Hu.

In a word, these days, the small life with a scenic scenery has been quite leisurely and looks very relaxed.

But a little thing like a mung bean that happened on this day instantly aroused her guard.

Before and after Shen Zheng, when the scenery leaned against the window in a daze, I happened to hear a little maid and Qiu Yue in the corridor complaining in a low voice--

"Today, I really hit the evil luck. A pair of new embroidered shoes took me a lot of effort to get on my feet. Because I just received my sister's instructions, I just got out of the carved white jade bowl with cherries sent by my sister Linglong in the morning. I was hit on my back by the Lanxin in front of me if I hadn't been in a hurry. The locust tree next to the road may even smash the jade bowl... Sister, look, how did she step on my shoes? The little maid raised her skirt and raised her feet to let Qiu Yue look at the mud above: "But she is still very angry today. Not only did she not accompany me, but she also made things difficult for me, saying that if she was not in a hurry to go to the hut, she would not be with me."

Bing was originally idle, but it attracted attention from the three words of Aunt Chen. She leaned her body and recognized the little maid as a bell - or the little codge of the development when Qiu Yue monitored the sound of warblers, so she called both of them to the window and asked the bell first: "Why did Aunt Chen's maid come near our yard?"

The bell was depressed and replied listlessly: "I don't know, but I saw her hurriedly as if she was coming from the direction of the secluded courtyard."

Tongyouting is located on the east side of Lvqing Garden. In fact, it is a garden built behind the corridor. There is a small fish pond in it, which flows with the lotus pond in Lvqing Garden. Every summer, the green shade is like a good place to enjoy the cool. However, there are no flowers planted in this garden. At this time, the scenery is not comparable to anywhere else. In the end, it looks cool, but it is rarely visited.

Lvqingyuan has a corner gate, which is connected to the corridor. It is only 40 or 50 steps away from the secluded courtyard. Only the corner gate is not often opened, that is, if it rains or heats, you can go to the Yuanying Hall to greet you through the corridor.

Lan Xin came from that end today and happened to have a folded corner at the main gate of Lvqingyuan. She thought she was in a hurry and bumped into the bell.

Ying Jing asked Qiu Yue again: "Do you know how Lanxin's temperament was in the past? I heard from the fourth sister that Aunt Chen is the most kind to others. Is her maid domineering?

Qiu Yue thought carefully and replied with great certainty: "If you want to say Lanxin, you usually have a good temper, and you rarely see her arguing with others."

So, is something abnormal today?

What's more, it's okay to argue, but the bells emphasizes that they are eager to go to the hut...

So after the first dinner, he took advantage of the time of walking. Because of this little doubt, the scenery dispersed a little far away and had been bypassing the Canglang Garden where Li lived.

Aunt Chen lives in a square courtyard behind Canglang Garden, with only three rooms.

Aunt Chen was surprised and suspicious of the visit of Yijing, a "rare guest" and hurriedly welcomed her in. She was going to take tea to entertain her. She was afraid that Yijing was not clean, so she was a little hesitant.

Yijing quickly smiled and said, "Originally, I heard the maid in the yard break her mouth, saying that she bumped into the girl in front of her aunt today and came to accompany her."

Aunt Chen was even more flattered. She didn't know that Lan Xin had an argument with the maid of Lvqingyuan, so she naturally blamed herself.

Yi Jing and Qiu Yue took a look, and Qiu Yue pulled Lan Xin out to talk.

Yijing then asked, "Listen to what my aunt just said, it seems that she went to the secluded court today. It was still a little cold at that time. Why is my aunt interested?"

Aunt Chen didn't dare to hide it: "It's not that I want to go. Originally, I heard Lan Xin talk about it in the afternoon. The second lady sent someone to tell me to wait in the pavilion in the courtyard. She had something to say... As a result, after waiting for half an hour, the second lady didn't come, and I came back."

Yijing feels more and more suspicious - even if the Li family has something to talk about in private with Aunt Chen, why does she give up the near and far to go to the inaccessible place? And in the end, Aunt Chen was asked to wait for a game.

"Can your aunt see others there?"

"I didn't see anyone else." Aunt Chen obviously felt that this matter was strange and hesitated for a while. She still said, "As usual, if there are those servants who take advantage of their leisure or go there to talk and laugh, but these days, the trivial things in the house are complicated, and no one will steal leisure in a hurry."

"My aunt never asked my second aunt, what on earth is it for?" Yijing asked again. Under normal circumstances, Aunt Chen would take the initiative to go to Canglangyuan to ask.

Aunt Chen shook her head, but said, "I thought the second lady had forgotten for a moment, for fear of missing something important. When she came back, she wanted to see her, but I heard that the second master was here today..."

Yijing understood. He said that Aunt Chen was really a "considerate" person. If he knew that his second uncle was in the second aunt's room and came forward, he was suspected of "competing for favor".

Such a small thing is brainless. If you want to say it's strange, you really can't figure out what's going on, but if you say it's normal, it's always a little strange. The scenery returns to Luqingyuan, and until the lamp is very full, you still can't feel a clue.

But today's strange thing is not just that in the afternoon.

At the end of the update, several maids were accompanying the beautiful scenery to talk and laugh and kill time. Another little maid on duty stood outside to report, saying that the Xianghui girl in front of her aunt came to pat the door and asked if she had seen Chanjuan in their yard.

The name of this maid undoubtedly makes beautiful** - that is a codote that Grandma Li once planned to develop and forced Aunt Chen to buy a person who poisoned Aunt Mei's medicine.

I quickly asked Qiu Yue to ask what was going on.

In less than a moment, Qiu Yue muttered back and was obviously very confused: "It is said that Chanjuan has not seen anyone yet. Xianghui inquired about it. Some people said that they saw her near our courtyard in the afternoon, so they came to ask."

After all, it was not midsummer, and it was getting dark early, and the inner house was about to fall. At this time, it was already the end. Why hasn't Chanjuan returned yet? If the maid in the inner house doesn't have a match, she can't leave the house. She doesn't even know Aunt Mei, the master. Of course, it is impossible for Chanjuan to get the match, but where did she go?

First, Aunt Chen was inexplicably invited by Li to go to the secluded court, and then Chanjuan "disappeared". Two unpredictable and seemingly unimportant things happened in a day, but the beautiful scenery felt uneasy.

After a little hesitation, she decided to explore the secluded court at night based on her intuition alone.

Because there is no need to go out of the inner house, it is not a big deal. Although the maids felt puzzled, they did not dissuade them.

Xia Ke quickly found a brocade and tied it to his shoulder: "At night, you still have to prevent the cold. Wu Niang is not as before, and her body is still weak."

The four maids lit a windlight, surrounded the scenery, and walked out of the corridor from the back corner door, without shocking others.

There is no light in the secluded court, and there is still a little warm and cool spring night in April. Although the moon in the middle of the month is almost perfect, it shuttles through the clouds from time to time. Suddenly, it is bright and dark. The dark shadows in the court is thick and sometimes faint. The wind is over the end, and there seems to be a sound of whimpering from nowhere. As soon as the four maids enter, they only feel the backbone. Involuntarily, a sense of coldness rose and shivered.

However, Qiu Yue said in a cold and trembling voice, "Wuniang, why on earth did you come here?"

As soon as the words were spoken, they were blown like ghosts by the night wind.

The spring dusk walking in front of me was almost scared to fall off the lantern, and the autumn frost was even more stagling and almost spooked his foot.

Yijing can't laugh or cry: "This is still in your own home. You have never done anything wrong. What's so terrible?"

The four maids sighed together - they have been together for many years, but they don't even know that our master is Su Darren.

It's not that Yijing is unwilling to answer Qiuyue's questions. She can't say it carefully herself, but she feels that this secluded courtyard may be strange, so she thought about it.

Walking around the fish pond, Yijing specially took a look at the water pavilion mentioned by Aunt Chen, with a stone table and a square stone stool, and there was nothing strange.

"Wuniang, let's go back. This place is too creepy at night." Even Xia Ke couldn't help persuading.

The scenery with nothing was still unwilling. Coincidentally, the moon came out of the clouds and suddenly lit up in front of my eyes.

She saw a shadowy room in the trees facing the red pavilion not far away. She couldn't help grabbing the lantern in her hand and shining at that end: "I occasionally come here for fishing, but I didn't find any houses in the secluded courtyard."

Qiu Yue looked at it and said gently: "That's a utility room with some brooms, shovels and so on. Although some people are angry in this yard in midsummer, there are always servants cleaning and tidying it up."

"Let's go and have a look." The scenery immediately made a decision.

Several maids have a bitter face - what's good to see in the utility room? Even if you are curious, you should choose the blue sky and day. At this time, the lights are blind, in case there is something hidden in it...

Because of this "ghosty" mentality, the maids trembled more and more, and the shadow of the lamp in their hands trembled. When they came to the door, no one dared to take the lead in pushing the door.

Su boldly played the "heroic character" and pushed the door in fearlessly.

Xia Ke gritted his teeth and followed him in. The lights shone in...

A short scream——

Standing in front of the door, Chun Twilight almost fell down the lantern again. With a little hesitation, he had already seen the scenery covering Xia Ke's mouth and coming out.

"Don't say anything."

The girl's face is full of solemnity.

I looked at Xia Ke again in the twilight, but I saw that her face was pale. In just a few breaths, there was a layer of cold sweat on her forehead.

Binting calmly took to the door and closed his eyes slightly.

All the weirdness of this day seems to have an outline.

Unfortunately, the bureau has been completed, and some things are still too late after all.
