Chapter 851
Under the corridor, in the exquisite small courtyard of the Hibiscus Garden, all the servants, including Shilan, were gathered together, and everyone's faces were a little uneasy, after all, on such a big day, there was a shortage of manpower everywhere, and the servants in the Hibiscus Garden had not been transferred to other places to help, just because Erfu left them here to entertain the unmarried Geges from various provinces, and now their servants were required to put down their work and come to the courtyard to gather, which can only mean that something happened in the Hibiscus Garden.

"Sister Shilan, what the hell is going on, you are the big girl who has to be used in front of Gege, we don't know why, you should always know something, right?" The second-class maid Thrush, who was closer to Shilan, was picked up by the little sister, and took a step forward with courage and asked in a low voice.
"I'm also confused!" Shilan smiled and shook her head, she knew something, but Erfu had already told her, she naturally wouldn't leave Erfu's confession behind for the sake of her past affection.
The thrush returned to the back with a bitter face, and spread her hands helplessly at the little sister.
After a short while, Erfu finally appeared in the small courtyard with a black face, she raised her hand to greet Shilan, asked in a low voice, turned her head to look at the thrush, walked between the servants, and said loudly: " I beckoned the big guys to the yard, I think you have some calculations in your hearts, then I won't go around the bend with you, just after Hui'er Gege washed, suddenly found that the handkerchief and earrings were gone, I think maybe which girl thought that the thing was fresh and curious to pick it up, although I don't know who took it, but I have to tell you, this is a big thing, in the good day when I was about to go out, there was such a thing, as the owner of this hibiscus garden, I feel that my face is hot, and my heart is very uncomfortable, but I don't want to use punishment on such a good daySo if any of you take this thing and put it back for me, I promise that you won't trouble that person in the future, and if you know who took these two things, you can come to me privately and give her another reward.
Alright, I'm done with my words, so you can figure it out for yourselves. β
After speaking, she beckoned to Shilan and walked directly to the West Wing.
Hui'er's earrings and handkerchiefs suddenly disappeared, in addition to her suspicion of the servants serving in the Hibiscus Garden, she was even more suspicious of the Gege who came to be guests, after all, the maids who could be arranged by Ilgen Jue Luo to be on an errand in the Hibiscus Garden must all know the rules. A smart person who understands the importance of the matter, not to mention that as a girl who is about to go out, she has a lot of precious jewelry in her makeup box, compared to the gilded ginkgo stud earrings that Hui'er is wearing today, I don't know how much it is valuable, these precious jewelry have never been lost, why did someone take away the earrings worn by Hui'er so blindly, in addition, she also suspected that Hui'er was a thief shouting to catch a thief, after all, even if Hui'er washed and dressed, she didn't need to take off a pair of small studs on her earlobes, Erfu remembered clearly, Hui'er didn't even take off the pile of yarn flowers and beads worn by the hairpin, why did she put the handkerchief and the studs tucked in the placket on the dressing table in the inner roomIsn't this a suspicion of adding to the snake and doing useless work...... It's just that these words, she can't break them directly.
After all, the relatives and friends who came to Lingzhu's mansion to add makeup are all noble people, if there is really a stir, the big guy's face will not be saved, and in the end it will only be cheap for outsiders to watch the excitement, so she knew that Shilan had no problem, and she also took Shilan out and threw it into the pile, in order to scare and scare these girls who were on an errand in the Hibiscus Garden, to see if anyone saw any secrets, so that she could find out the mastermind behind her disgrace as soon as possible.
As it turned out, she really got smarter.
Shilan has a delicate personality and is the best at observing details, don't look at Shilan is also standing in the crowd with a worried face, in fact, she is checking everyone's expressions, and she does find something wrong from it, such as the little girl who came forward to find her set of words with a thrush, Erfu had just observed the little girl who looked a little familiar, and she found that the girl was not an errand boy in the Hibiscus Garden, but a little girl named Su Yue who had been running errands with Ilgen Jue Luo.
"Do you think this Su Yue saw something?" Erph asked in a low voice.
"Gege, Su Yue is serving by Fu Jin's side, if she comes to pass the word for Fu Jin, they should not stop Su Yue if they want to come to serve outside the door, and when they were in the courtyard just now, Su Yue and the thrush seemed to be very familiar, and the slave felt that she had entered the upper room, and she might have seen something. Shilan didn't dare to make a judgment easily, after all, she didn't get any solid evidence, but it didn't prevent her from helping to analyze the situation, she recalled Su Yue's every move in the courtyard, and replied softly.
When Erf heard this, she nodded slightly, she thought the same way.
She raised her hand to greet Shilan, motioned for her to step forward, and explained in a low voice: "You secretly call Su Yue to the side room now, I'll ask her again, you can go directly to the room to help, I'm afraid that Shiqing can't cope with it, Hui'er is very excited now!" After speaking, she waved her hand helplessly, urging her to hurry up and call someone.
With a cup of tea, Su Yue nervously knocked on the door of the hidden room in the west wing.
"Come in. Erfu stood with her back to the door, and greeted without looking back, hearing the sound of small footsteps behind her, she turned around leisurely, looked at Su Yue, who was standing at the door with the corner of her clothes twisted, and smiled at the corner of her lips, "I called you over now, you should know what it is for, today is my good day, I don't have much time to delay you here, if you see something, or find something, just say it." β
"The slave doesn't understand what Gege means!" replied Su Yue with luck.
"Don't you understand? I've already asked Shilan to ask the thrush.
She said that from the time I and Hui Er Gege entered the room to the time they came out, except for the two little maids who brought water to the room, only you had entered the room without my consent, because you told her that I and Hui Er Gege were washing in the clean room, and maybe they couldn't hear the movement outside, and you were in a hurry to find me, so you didn't wait for the thrush to report and went in, but it came out soon, and the thrush girl was afraid that I would punish her, so she didn't tell Shilan who came back from the outside, and you followed Shilan into the upper room to see meγ
I don't think it's important for my mother to let me tell me to lead the mansions to the east hall to listen to the drama for a while, can you tell me why you have to go into the upper room, or when I am not in the upper room......" Erfu retracted the smile on her face, sat on the official hat chair with her skirt slightly raised, carefully studied a pair of small hands painted with vermilion kodan, squinted at Su Yue, who was trembling, and asked coldly.
She was almost sure that the person who took the Hui'er personal ornament was the little girl in front of her, but she didn't understand what the purpose of this girl was to take away the earrings, and why she refused to leave, she would actually get it to let herself catch it, she believed that if Su Yue got something, she would immediately turn around and leave, and in order to ensure that she was not punished, Thrush would not reveal that Su Yue had entered the upper room, after all, the only person who knew that Su Yue entered the upper room, there was only one thrush.
"The slave is sorry Ergege, the slave really doesn't know that the handkerchief and earrings are Hui'er Gege's things, the slave and the maid just want to be crooked for a while, so they will take away those two things. As Erfu's words landed, Su Yue, who was still arguing just now, trembled and knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, "The brother of the slave maid family is infected with a vicious disease, and the doctor said that if you want to be completely cured, you need a lot of valuable medicinal materials to recuperate, and the slave and maid are such a relative......"
"Really?" Erph asked with a smile, she didn't believe what Su Yue said.
Su Yue looked pitiful, crying a handful of tears, in fact, her words could not stand scrutiny, it is estimated that there was not even a word of truth, not to mention that Su Yue put Ilgen Jue Luo's things and did not steal, and ran to the Furong Garden to steal things before she wanted to steal things, that is, in the makeup box inlaid with luodian on the dressing table in her inner room, there were several sets of precious heads, how could Su Yue give up the precious head in the makeup box, but instead steal such conspicuous gadgets on the countertop, she believed that as long as Su Yue was not a fool, she should know how to choose, but now the most important thing is to find Hui'er Gege's earrings and handkerchief, so she is happy to pretend to be confused, Anyway, Su Yue is here, and she can't run out.
Thinking like this, Erfu restrained the teasing smile on her face, sighed as if she was moved by Su Yue's words, and whispered in a slightly regretful tone: "Although the nature of your stealing is hateful, but its feelings are pitiful, I don't want to make trouble at this juncture, you hand over the stolen handkerchiefs and earrings, as for your brother's money for medical treatment, I will ask Eniang to come forward to solve it, but I am afraid that you will not be able to continue to work in the mansion in the future." After speaking, she stretched out her hand and waited for Su Yue to take out the earrings and handkerchiefs that she had taken away, she believed that with her words, Su Yue would honestly take out the things, and she also believed that Su Yue had other plans behind her, otherwise she would not wait to be caught by her from the hibiscus garden.
As Erfu expected, before her words fell, Su Yue gratefully kowtowed to her three times, handed over the handkerchief and earrings hidden in the inner pocket of her clothes, and thanked her repeatedly: "Slave Xie Gege is forgiving, slave and maid Xie Gege is forgiving." β
"You wait in the wing. Erf didn't want to waste any more time with her in the wing, so she dropped a word and went back to the room with her things.
In the upper room, Hui'er's mood has gradually calmed down under the soothing of poetry.
She watched Elder come in with her handkerchief, and with a hint of relief in her eyes, she stepped forward quickly and asked softly, "Cousin, where did you find these two things, did you catch them, and who instructed them?"
Erf smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, ask one question at a time." β
As she spoke, she raised her hand to put on the earrings for Hui'er's hairpin, and then returned Juan Pa, who was embroidered with Hui'er's maiden name, back to Hui'er's placket, which was completely relieved, sat down on the vacant seat next to her, and answered Hui'er's question slowly, saying: " This thing was taken by a little girl in my room, her family suddenly encountered a little difficulty, it was when she needed money, she happened to come to my room to send something, and saw your golden studs on the dressing table and moved her mind, but she regretted it afterwards, and looked at me to go out to ask questions and asked me to admit my mistake, I looked at her pitiful, so I did not punish her, only let her reflect in the room, if you feel unhappy, you go over and scold her a few words, don't embarrass her, she is also a poor person. β
"Cousin, you just have a good heart.
This person is harmless and harmless, the tiger hurts people's hearts, you have to be careful, after all, you are going to marry into the prince's mansion, I heard Eniang say, such people have the most private affairs, and there is no room for any mercy, the more you treat people, I am afraid that those people will toss you. "Hui'er is a person who understands the rules, and she can't do anything to meddle in other people's affairs, but she looked at Erfu and looked like she completely believed in Su Yue, and couldn't help but remind her, who made her a smart and good person, she followed the Bai family to learn how to govern the family at a young age, she understood better than anyone else the truth that people are good at being bullied and horses are good at being ridden, thinking that when she was young, Eniang's status in the mansion was not even comparable to the concubine who was favored by Ama in the house, and it was also a loss to the eldest brother to respect Eniang, which made Eniang slowly gain a firm foothold in the house.
"Leave these things to my mother.
Let's pack up and hurry over to the east hall to watch the play, my E-Niang has already asked people to come to invite three or five urges, let me tell you, my E-Niang specially invited several opera troupes to come to the house to sing in the hall for today's time, it's really a lively one!" Erfu didn't want to say more about Su Yue, she also understood that Hui'er reminded her of her kindness, nodded with a smile, and changed the topic.
"Okay, let's go over, aren't the other sisters already gone?" Hui'er saw that Erfu didn't want to say more, and no longer dwelled on it, turned her head to look at the empty courtyard outside the room, and asked softly.
"Just now, a few anxious sisters have been led by the maids, and there are two little drunkards like you who are asleep in the warm pavilion prepared in the courtyard next to them, I guess I don't know where I am at this time!" Erfu took the hot tea handed by Shiqing and rinsed his mouth, ordered someone to prepare a soft sedan chair to come over, smiled and walked out of the upper room hand in hand with Hui'er, and told Shilan to stay in the courtyard to guard the door, and went straight to the east hall.
The gongs and drums in the east hall shook the sky, and the babbling singing voice could be heard from afar, Erfu listened with a smile, turned his head and smiled at Hui'er, stepped off the soft sedan chair, pulled Hui'er and ran upstairs, only to go upstairs and saw Ilgen Jue Luo's face ugly to greet him, "Eniang, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, you can take your little sister and take a seat first. Ilgen Jue Luo waved his hand with a forced smile and said, and walked downstairs without looking back, Erfu secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but it was not good to catch up and ask, so he had to suppress his uneasiness in his heart, reluctantly smiled at Hui'er, and led Hui'er to the stage.
