Chapter 140: Demon (1)
The breeze blew, and a pool of lotus flowers shook. The pond is full of graceful lotus flowers, which is really more than one another, and one is one by one.
Standing by the lake, Yuxi and Zi Su said: "Let Aunt Guo make lotus leaves and call flower chickens at noon." "Lotus leaf called flower chicken is a dish that Yuxi likes very much, and he often asks the cook to make it and eat it.
Seeing this, Yuchen smiled and asked the waiter to instruct the cook: "You can't let the fourth sister be beautiful, let's eat lotus leaf porridge at noon."
Yuxi felt that Yuchen had become very strange during this time, in the past, Yuchen would ask the maid to call her to Tingyun Pavilion if she wanted to see her, but now if Yuchen had something, she would come over by herself. The attitude before and after changed too much, which made Yuxi tense his nerves at the beginning. Later, seeing that Yuchen was not unusual, and the old lady did not blame her for this, Yuxi relaxed.
However, Yuxi pursues to come and go, Yuchen often comes to her, and she will come to Tingyun Pavilion when she is bored or can't read.
Yuxi said with a smile: "Lotus leaf porridge has the effect of cooling and relieving the heat, but third sister, are you sure that Mama Gui will let you eat it?" "Mama Gui has the ability, but she manages it too widely. If it was Yuxi himself, he would definitely not want to have such a grandmother.
Yuchen chuckled and said, "As long as Mama Sha says it's okay, Mama Gui won't have any objections." Since that night, Yuchen took the initiative to approach Yuxi, and the content of the conversation with Yuxi was no longer limited to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. will talk about the housekeeping in the house, will talk about food, jewelry and clothes, and occasionally talk about the gossip outside, and comment on the temperament of the ladies of each family. This was unimaginable for Yuxi before, and it felt like Yuchen had fallen back to the world from the altar all of a sudden.
Yuxi put down the grapes in his hand and sighed a little: "Third sister, I really envy you, there are so many capable people around you." Unlike me, I want to find a housekeeper mother, but I can't find a satisfactory one after looking for so long. "It's not that the Qiu family hasn't recommended Yuxi, it's just that Yuxi's requirements are too high, and they don't meet her requirements. As for the old lady, since that night's incident, she no longer interferes in Yuxi's affairs, and she tosses it.
How could Yuchen not know Yuxi's thoughts: "You want to find someone like Mama Quan, who is so easy to find." If you want me to say, you might as well invite Grandma Quan back. "The housekeeper mother is not only capable and means, but also trustworthy. But it is very difficult to find someone who meets all three requirements at the same time.
Yuxi also wants Mama Quan to be by her side, but the problem is that Mama Quan is not a person who is willing to be subservient. Everyone has their own ambitions, and she is not reluctant: "Let this kind of thing go naturally!" After speaking, he smiled and said, "It's really rare, we have been sitting here for so long, and Mama Gui didn't come to urge you to practice calligraphy and play the piano?" ”
The two talked and laughed, and half an hour passed. Just when Yuxi was about to tell Yuchen that she wanted to go back, a mother-in-law came over and said, "Third girl, someone from the Pingqing Marquis Mansion is here." ”
Yuchen didn't care, the Pingqing Marquis Mansion would send someone to send things over every once in a while, and she was used to it. But in the end, it was her grandmother and uncle's heart, and it was not easy to slack off: "Yuxi, let's talk next time!" ”
Yuxi stood up with a smile and said, "Wow." "When you are tired of reading or a little irritable, it is also very pleasant to have someone to chat with, drink tea, listen to the piano, and eat fresh and delicious fruits.
On the way, Kufu couldn't help but say: "Ping Qinghou and Mrs. Jiang really love the three girls. "There is no food and clothing that the Pingqing Marquis Mansion does not give. Especially when the disaster occurred that night, the Pingqing Marquis Mansion sent a lot of things over when they got the news, and by the way, they also sent two girls who knew kung fu to protect the three girls.
Yuxi smiled, this kind of good, she really doesn't envy it.
Back at Tingyun Pavilion, Yuchen was startled when she saw that it was Mrs. Min waiting in the living room: "Mother Min, why are you here?" "Mrs. Min is the most caring person next to Mrs. Jiang, and she won't come over without anything serious.
Min Pozi glanced at the people in the room.
Yuchen immediately let the people in the house out, and asked with a stern expression, "What's wrong?" At first, Yuchen speculated that Mrs. Jiang was uncomfortable, but this is not the case now. If my grandmother is sick, I don't need to hide it from others.
Mrs. Min said: "Girl, the old lady asked me to ask you, have you offended the county lord of Heshou?" "This matter is very important, and Mrs. Jiang has to let her henchmen come over.
Yuchen was inexplicable, shook his head and said, "No! I've only met three times with the lord of Heshou County, and although I haven't become friends, I haven't had any bad friends, just ordinary interactions. ”
Mrs. Min frowned: "That's weird." After speaking, he asked again: "The girl really didn't offend the county lord of Heshou?" Think about it, girl. ”
Yuchen intuitively felt that something was wrong, and it was a big deal: "Mom, I really haven't offended the county lord of Heshou." The first time I met the county lord of Heshou, it was still in the Taining Hou Mansion! However, when it comes to this, I still have some doubts, when the county lord of Heshou first saw me, he was very hostile to me? ”
Min Pozi immediately grabbed the key word: "Hostile? Did the girl have a grudge against the county lord of Heshou? ”
Yuchen hurriedly shook his head: "No, it is the first time I have met the county lord of Heshou in the Hou Mansion of Taining, how can I make a feud." The next two meetings didn't get along badly. ”
Min Pozi asked again, "What about Miss Yuxi?" Did Miss Yuxi have a grudge against the county lord of Heshou? ”
Yuchen shook his head without thinking about it: "No." Yuxi is very respectful to the county lord of Heshou, and there is no place to transgress. That time in the princess's mansion, Yuxi won the chess skills of the Yu family's girl, and the county lord of Heshou also took Yuxi's hand and praised it, showing that he was very close. ”
Min Pozi's brows were tangled into Sichuan characters.
Yuchen had a bad thought in his heart: "Mom, what happened?" How do you say that the county lord of Heshou is here? ”
Mrs. Min's face was ugly, and she said, "Girl, Master Hou has caught the thief who sneaked into the Guogong Mansion that night. The bandit leader has already confessed, saying that someone spent a lot of money to let these people break into the Guogong Mansion on the night of the palace change, and take advantage of the chaos to kill you and Miss Yuxi. According to his confession, Hou Ye found out that the mastermind behind the scenes was the lord of Heshou County. So, the old lady specially asked me to come and ask you. ”
Yuchen felt that he had heard a very ridiculous thing: "The mastermind behind the scenes is the lord of Heshou County?" Why would she do it? As far as I know, our house has no grudges with the Qiao family! Besides, even if Yuxi and I offended her, wouldn't we let thieves come to our house to kill people and set fires? "Not to mention that they don't even have a quarrel, even if they are unpleasant, they will not be so poisonous.
Mrs. Min shook her head and said: "Master Hou and Master Han have confirmed, the Han family, the Qiao family and the princess's mansion have always been well water and not river water, not to mention deep hatred, there is no quarrel at all." Hou Ye and the old lady deduced that the county lord of Heshou should be because of personal grudges. "The so-called personal grudge is the grudge between Yuchen and Yuxi and the lord of Heshou County.
Yuchen said categorically: "No, don't talk about enmity, Yuxi and I have nothing to be disrespectful to the county lord of Heshou." ”
Mrs. Min also thought this thing was very weird. Of course, in the eyes of the Jiang family, it was Yuchen that the county lord of Heshou wanted to kill, and Yuxi was only incidental. The main reason is that Yuchen is too famous, and Yuxi's fame is not enough to see.
Yuchen was silent for a while, and asked a very critical question: "Mom, how did the county lord of Heshou know that the prince would rebel that night?" Did my uncle find out? "Such a confidential matter, even his uncle, an important minister in the court, doesn't know, but a deep boudoir woman from the county lord of Heshou actually knows, this thing is too weird. Of course, the county lord of Heshou has always been very weird, and Mrs. Min shook her head and said: "No, this matter is indeed evil, it stands to reason that the county lord of Heshou cannot know such a confidential thing." ”
Yuchen said the words that had been hidden in his heart: "Mom, I have always felt that the county lord of Heshou is weird. You see what she's done in the past two years, none of them are just as reasonable. Let's not talk about getting those juices and fresh pastries. But what kind of soap and fragrance water did she make, Mom, as far as I know, the county lord of Heshou has not learned perfumery, nor has he been exposed to this kind of thing. How did she make these things? "It's still a coincidence, but with so many tricks, how can it be a coincidence.
Mrs. Min asked, "What does the girl want to say?" ”
At this time, Yuchen didn't hide it anymore: "Lord Heshou County, it's not clean." "The so-called unclean means that there is something dirty.
Mrs. Min didn't answer Yuchen's words, but said: "The girl doesn't know, this time the prince rebelled, and many people were exterminated. The lord of Heshou County took this opportunity to buy many shops and fields, and in addition to this, she also bought a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings. I heard that these expenses add up to seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver, and these money have been earned by the county lord of Heshou in the past two years. "What Min Pozi said was actually a response to Yuchen from the side, and the county lord of Heshou was indeed abnormal. As for whether or not he was possessed by dirty things, there is no basis for this kind of thing.
Yuchen asked, "Then what should we do?" "If it's just a quarrel at the girl's house, it's okay to suffer a little grievance and suffer a loss. But what the county lord of Heshou did was tantamount to an enemy of the Guogong Mansion who was different from Dai Tian, and it was impossible to calculate it like this.
Mrs. Min shook her head and said, "This old slave doesn't know." She is only responsible for passing the word, and as for the follow-up, it is not something she can intervene in and speak.
After sending off Mrs. Min, Yuchen stayed in the bedroom for a long time. She didn't know why Heshou County wanted to kill her. But because of the county lord of Heshou, so many people were killed and injured in the Guogong Mansion, and she was also haunted by nightmares these days, and her grandmother was also very guilty about it.
No matter what the reason for the county lord of Heshou did this, and no matter who the demon of the county lord of Heshou is, from today onwards, she and the county lord of Heshou are enemies, enemies who never die.
