[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

Zhou Yun didn't want Zuo Xi to ask such a question, and looked down at the ink dots dripping on the rice paper, and asked in a calm but mocking voice, "Are you worried about Brother Jin?"

"Yeah." Zuo Xi sighed softly, "Most people in the world are cold, and they are always mean women in every possible way. Brother Jin died innocently, and he suffered an innocent disaster, but the world may not think so." To be condemned by the population again, humiliated in every possible way.

Zhou Yun looked at Zuo Xi, and pressed his lips tightly.The girl in front of her has a very warm heart.

"Brother Jin has a strong temper. If Izumi knew about it, I would definitely be willing to seek justice for myself." His fiancée has always been "preferring to use it directly, not asking for it." 's temperament, if it wasn't like this, it wouldn't be. "Girl, you don't need to worry about me and Brother Jin. If you can eradicate Jingxu and Shuiyue Temple together, so that more innocent women will be spared from their harm, even if you have a bad reputation, it will be a meritorious deed." one piece."

"But no one should be sacrificed as a matter of course." Zuo Xi thought for a while, then whispered, "It's just... I want to believe that there is such a thing as karma in this world. I believe that those who owe you will always pay for it in another way." Give it back to you in a certain way."

Zhou Yun heard that his eyes moved away from Zuo Xi, looked behind her, passed over the eaves and treetops, and finally landed on the blue sky and white clouds.

"May everything in this world be as you wish." I also wish that kindness is as good as you, and that you will be rewarded with blessings.

"The girl wants to ask Zhizhi'er to go to the Yamen to sue Jing Xu, but the result may not be what the girl wants." Withdrawing his mind for a while, Zhou Yun began to discuss with Zuo Xi the lawsuit that more than [-]% of them would not win. "Jing Xu won't sit still. As long as she promises a lot of money and then threatens her with the past, that Grandma Lian will not stand idly by. The Rongguo Mansion has a concubine, and she accompanied her to the south for a while, so that's it. The holy family is solemn, and the yamen may have to be a little more scrupulous."

That's why he only targeted Jingxu and Shuiyuean.

Sister Feng is fearless and fearless, and sometimes she is really helpless.However, "Give it to me at the Rongguo Mansion, Sister Ruofeng. I will, I will steal her daughter."

Zhou Yun was delighted when he heard the words 'puchi'.Looking at Zuo Xi with a smile on his face, he opened his mouth for a while but didn't know what to say, and just shook his head and smiled at Zuo Xi for a long while. "The girl is smart."

Zuo Xi: This is very dishonest, okay?

╮(╯▽╰)╭

After leaving the outer courtyard, Zuo Xi was thinking about how to make the Rongguo Mansion stand by on the matter of Jingxu, and at the same time thinking about how to make Sister Feng believe in karma.

However, when Zuo Xi walked to Aunt Xue's main courtyard, Zuo Xi also had to admit that the difficulty of telling Sister Feng to believe in karma was on the same level as her calling Kao Qingbei.

"Why is it here at this hour?" Seeing Zuo Xi coming, Aunt Xue smiled at her, "It's your second aunt's birthday in two days, you came just in time, help me take a look."

When Zuo Xi came, Aunt Xue was getting some bundles of materials and jewelry, gold and jade ornaments for Mrs. Wang Ziteng's birthday.Seeing Zuo Xi coming, he smiled and waved to her.

"Mom might as well inquire about what my aunt will give you. It's not easy to overwhelm my aunt." The things are all good things, but Zuo Xi said with some distress for Aunt Xue, "In the past, when my mother celebrates her birthday, they may not give you any good things." Come on. If you want me to say, it’s almost enough. Rather than worrying about it, why don’t I go to Rongguo Mansion with Mom tomorrow, so as to save you from being bored at home all the time.”

"Go, Rongguo Mansion?" Aunt Xue, who was caressing a horse of raw materials, paused for a moment, and looked at Zuo Xi in surprise, "It's not that you don't want to go there, why do you want to go there again so well?" Is it in the mansion?"

"Didn't mom want to know what birthday gift my aunt gave my aunt? Why don't you just send someone to ask?" After a pause, Zuo Xi said again: "I'm afraid that my aunt will cry to you again at the time of Jieshi, and then our family will be in trouble again." There will be two congratulatory gifts."

Aunt Xue: "..." Wasn't that the case in the past two years.

Fearing that Aunt Xue would find her impure motives tomorrow, Zuo Xi vaccinated Aunt Xue in advance, "And I have something important to tell my aunt and the old lady." When I get angry, I ask Zhizhier to file a complaint. I think it will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Your child's family, what's the important thing?" Aunt Xue instinctively didn't believe it when she heard Zuo Xi's words.So he urged Zuo Xi to talk and listen.

"It has nothing to do with our family, it's just something related to the mansion and the empress." Zuo Xi shook his head, trying to show off in front of Aunt Xue, and planned to ask the little old lady to cheer her up tomorrow, "Those words, It's not something that my daughter who has not left the cabinet can say. Mom, don't ask, lest I get dirty again and again. "

"I took this horse and cut it to make clothes for my grandma. The color is fine, I don't need to embroider any more flowers and flowers, I just ask people to make it before the end of the month." After finishing speaking, Zuo Xi pointed to the table again. A piece of material on the table said to Aunt Xue's eldest girl Tongxi, "Are you ready for the hundred bundles of silver noodles for birthday celebration?"

"It's been prepared a long time ago. Knowing that the girl also likes to eat that side, the housekeeper asked someone to take a dozen more and send it to the small kitchen in the girl's yard." Zuo Xi has the habit of eating late at night. A stove was set up in the tea room to cook some supper for Zuo Xi at night.For simple meals such as cooking a bowl of silver noodles with chicken soup, or cooking a bowl of small wontons, there is no need to ask the National People's Congress to run to the big kitchen at night.The most important thing is that you don't have to worry about the food getting cold or lumpy.

"There are also longevity peaches in the big kitchen, and they will be steamed as soon as the day comes."

After hearing this, Zuo Xi became greedy for some reason, "Ask someone to make stuffing with peach meat and wrap a few birthday peaches to eat."

After hearing this, Tong Xi turned around and left. Ying'er saw her at the side, stopped Tong Xi quickly, and said, "Let me go." Don't look at her girl's light words, but if she really asked the stove master to hold her I did what I said, and I'm sure I won't like it again.

That mouth is getting more and more tricky now.

For a while, Yinger asked someone to open the ice cellar at home, and took out the fresh peaches that were frozen in it last year...

Use frozen peaches as the main filling, add some soaked candied dried peaches, and finally knead the noodles with fresh milk.

A pot of twelve, first sent two to Zhou Yun in the outer court.He also asked someone to send two to the housekeeper.Finally, Wen Xing was ordered to send two to Xue Pan.Only then did Ying'er pack the remaining six birthday peaches, which were as big as children's fists, in a food box and carried them all the way back to the main courtyard.

For a moment, Zuo Xi ate the birthday peaches that he had been craving so much since he was greedy, and after only two mouthfuls, he narrowed his eyes beautifully.

He took a birthday peach from the plate and handed it to Ying'er who was standing beside him, and nodded to Ying'er with a smile, "Eat it while it's hot."

Aunt Xue thought it was too sweet, so she ate half of it and put it down.Seeing that Zuo Xi liked it, she smiled and asked Zuo Xi to take it back to her room to eat slowly.

"Actually, it doesn't make sense for your aunt to say something." Looking at her daughter's delicious food, Aunt Xue thought of the lives of those court ladies that Mrs. Wang had told her. Once you enter, you are there to wait on people. I don’t know where I will be assigned, and whether I can get along with you. Since you were a child, you grew up with a lot of gold and jade. How have you ever suffered a little bit? In the early years, your father and I wanted to send you into the palace , is also a last resort. Now that your brother has grown up, there is no need for you to suffer that again."

Yes, and then stay at home, no matter how stupid you are, you are betrayed by your soft-eared mother, and you have to count the money for you.

"Whether to enter the palace or not is a matter for later. I have to go to the palace for a while. If I can't choose my own time to stay at home, if I choose, it will not be too late to have something to say." After drinking tea, Zuo Xi continued to say to Aunt Xue, "The second girl and the third girl are lucky, so don't think about it."

If one of the sisters in the family becomes a concubine, the daughter of the family can apply for exemption.

Of course, this article is an unwritten rule against the Baoyi Banner family.

After all, the girl from the Baoyi Qi family was chosen to enter the palace as a servant. If one sister is a high-ranking concubine, the younger sister is a foot-washing maid in someone else's palace. After all, it would be a shame.

Now that Yuanchun has gained such "decentness", Yingchun and Tanchun naturally don't have to go to the palace to be maids.As Yuanchun's cousin, Xue's daughter did not have this honor.

Aunt Xue opened her mouth when she heard the words, and glanced at Zuo Xi, who was eating birthday peaches again, hesitated for a while, but did not speak out what was in her heart.

Of course, Aunt Xue didn't just fall for her own sister's tricks once again, thinking that Baoyu is so good and a good match.She just felt that her daughter's words were perfunctory.

If she really didn't want to enter the palace, not to mention asking Yuan Chun in the palace for help, even if she asked Master Jiu to come forward to ask Concubine Yi who was in charge of the palace affairs, losing the election would only be a matter of one or two sentences.But she said things like that. That's all. The bigger this girl is, the more righteous her ideas are. Let's talk about it later.

……

The next day, Zuo Xi asked the kitchen to make some snacks, and after carrying two kinds of fruits, he and Aunt Xue went to Rongguo Mansion in a carriage.

Because they lived in the Rongguo Mansion in the early years, and they were relatives of Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng's natal family, so Zuo Xi and the two didn't need to report, but took a carriage all the way into the second gate of Rongguo Mansion. He got out of the carriage.

There are many girls and women at the second gate. When they saw the two coming, they must have reported to Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng in court.Zuo Xi doesn't need to care about these things, she just needs to go to Rongxi Hall with Aunt Xue surrounded by girls and women.

First go to Rongxi Hall to see Mrs. Wang, and then, accompanied by Mrs. Wang, go to Rongqing Hall to greet Jia Mu. This is the procedure for visiting relatives.

After entering the east courtyard of Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang did not come out to pick him up, but Zhou Rui's family came out with a few maids.

"Greetings, Auntie, Miss Bao. When we got up early, our wife said that my aunt and Miss Bao would not be here for a few days. They arrived before noon. It can be seen that it is true that the whole family does not come in."

"It's true that I haven't come here for a while. How is your wife? How is the old lady? How are all the brothers and sisters?"

"It's all good, all is good..." Zhou Rui's family responded to Aunt Xue's words, and said that the mansion was too busy to build a provincial house for the mother.

"Such a big happy event, even if he is several times more busy, I will be happy in my heart." Zuo Xi answered this sentence from the side, and asked Zhou Rui's family with a smile, "Auntie is busy at the moment?"

"A few people in charge are working on it inside. It's not something important, it's just a trivial matter. The wife decides to do it."

While speaking, a group of people walked to the door of the room.It happened that several daughter-in-laws in charge came out of it, and they went out and entered in an orderly manner.

When they entered the house, they greeted each other naturally and talked about their daily life.Aunt Xue first asked about the birthday present for Mrs. Wang Ziteng's birthday in two days.The two sisters had a conversation, Mrs. Wang said that she had prepared a white jade Guanyin, and ten pieces of material, and said that these two were rewarded in advance before Yuanchun followed Shengjia's southern tour.Aunt Xue laughed and said, "I can't compare to my sister, so I prepared two sets of buns, one hundred birthday peaches, and one hundred bundles of silver noodles."

"I also want to prepare some birthday peaches and dried noodles, but the house is a mess. My sister didn't mention it, so I forgot."

"What's this worth? I already have these at home, and I'll ask someone to get more later."

As soon as Aunt Xue finished speaking, she subconsciously looked at Zuo Xi, but Zuo Xi didn't look at her, no matter what she thought, she nodded to Mrs. Wang with a smile on her face.

That look seemed to be echoing Aunt Xue's proposal.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was very happy, and said politely with a smile: "Forget it, I'll trouble you."

For a while, after talking about business, Aunt Xue said that she was going to pay her respects to the old lady.Pointing to Zuo Xi again, she said, "Yesterday, this girl kept talking about something she wanted to tell her aunt and the old lady. Ask her, but she only said to tell the old lady and aunt, and never told anyone else."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyes turned to Zuo Xi who had been sitting quietly at the side.Seeing Mrs. Wang looking at her, Zuo Xi raised the corners of his mouth that were originally raised again.

I haven't seen her for a while, but this girl is getting better and better.Especially the demeanor of that body, it was even better than what she had seen in the past.

"That being the case, then go to greet the old lady."

While talking, the three of them got up, went out through the back door, walked through the north-south road, and headed towards Rongqing hall.

Sanchun is also here, and together with Li Wan, she is accompanying Jia Mu to relieve her boredom.Seeing their girls coming, they all smiled and got up to greet them.

After greeting each other, the girl served some refreshments, and Aunt Xue sat at the head of Mrs. Wang, talking to Jia Mu, and kept looking at Zuo Xi.

Father Xue is really capable.

After making complaints about Father Xue, Zuo Xi also began to imitate Aunt Xue's appearance.It took about half an hour, after everyone saw that she had something to say, that Zuo Xi stood up, walked up to Mother Jia, and whispered something in her ear.

Mother Jia squinted her eyes, and although she didn't understand why, she still told everyone to back down.

For a while there were only Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Zuo Xi in the room.

Seeing that Aunt Xue stayed naturally, Zuo Xi couldn't help feeling embarrassed for a while, and said to Aunt Xue, "Mom doesn't often talk about Baoyu when she is at home, why not go sit in Baoyu's room."

"Huh? I can't listen either?" That's not what you said yesterday.

Zuo Xi looked at Aunt Xue, then nodded heavily, "Yes."

It made Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang feel a little inexplicable in their hearts because of such nagging.Seeing that Aunt Xue didn't get up, Mrs. Wang urged Zuo Xi.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue had no choice but to suppress the anger in her heart, got up and went out.

Baoyu is reading a book in his own room.

Since Qin Zhong was gone, Baoyu's visits to ethnology have become less frequent.The family was busy building a provincial hospital, and no one cared about him.

Originally Baoyu wanted to have fun with the little girl in the room, but Mrs. Wang sent Baoyu two Zhenshan Taisui two years ago. With those two nuns in charge of morals, both Xiren and Qingwen had to be honest. real.

These two took the imperial decree from Mrs. Wang, and the imperial decree from Mrs. Jia was not used to anyone. Whenever a little girl behaved frivolously, she would be scolded by these two.

Every little girl has a good face.After a long time, who would dare to make a joke with Baoyu's "no light, no weight".

Baoyu was bored, and had a few quarrels with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, but the final result was...no result.

Qin Zhong is dead, Daiyu is gone, and even his cousin Zuoxi has returned home. Baoyu is bored, not wanting to be flattered by the servants around him, so he reads some romance novels of this era to relieve Baoyu's boredom.

A room full of maids and women, who knows what he is looking at.I saw him reading and working hard, day and night, and I was worried that he would burn his bones.

At this moment, Zuo Xi and others came to Rongqing hall, and the attackers wanted to tell Baoyu, who was "study hard", to go away.So Xiren walked up to Baoyu dignifiedly, and said to Baoyu while refilling tea, "Grandma Xue and Miss Bao are here, and they are talking in the old lady's room at the moment. If the second master is free, don't forget to give it to him." Aunt, please be well."

Zhenshan Taisui, who was doing needlework in the corner, looked up, then continued to bow his head and ignore it.

This is business.

The young lady sitting alone in the show building opened the back window and led the scholar who came across on the street that day into the room.The two fell in love under the moon, drank with each other under the candle, and finally both fell into the cot.The scholar tore off the red bellyband embroidered with peonies on the lady's body, revealing a piece of snow white.The young lady exclaimed, and shyly fell into the scholar's arms...

Baoyu is seeing the critical moment, so he is willing to put down the book now.Hearing Xiren's words, he only unconsciously responded twice, and then continued to look down.

Since reading this kind of book can make people physically and mentally excited, when Baoyu saw the climax, his face was flushed and his whole body was hot.I saw him panting heavily, trying to relieve it but couldn't find a way to keep moving around in the chair.

And just when Baoyu was suffering, Aunt Xue entered the house.

Surprised by the girl's greeting, Baoyu looked up, just in time to meet Aunt Xue's smiling face.

And the smile on Aunt Xue's face froze when she saw Baoyu's expression.

The death scene in Baoyu's room was not the worst, but the rumor brought by Zuo Xi in Rongqing Hall was even more deadly.

As soon as Aunt Xue left, Zuo Xi stood up and said anxiously to Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, "So that the old lady knows that something big is going to happen."

"You girl, you are the most stable in the past. Why are you so confused today?" Jia Mu thought she was well-informed. Seeing Zuo Xi like this, she was very calm and advised Zuo Xi not to panic. "Depending on his big business, there will always be an old lady who will make decisions for you."

"It's not my business, not even my family's business. It's the family's business, it's the empress's business." After another trick, Zuo Xi began to say: "The four of us have always been in touch with each other, and we are all prosperous, and we are hurting each other." Those who are both damaged have a fate relationship. My mother is also my cousin, even though I have never met her before, she still has a relationship that breaks the bone and connects the tendons. This matter is related to the mother, so why not rush."

"Could it be that you are confused, you girl." The whole Rongguo Mansion was elated because of Yuan Chun's ascension, and Madam Wang was extremely displeased when she heard this kind of words, "Your Majesty followed Sheng Jia on his southern tour, what can happen. "

"I was impatient and didn't make it clear. I lived in the mansion before, and I often saw Jingxu of Shuiyuean bring her little apprentice Zhier to the mansion to talk alms. It was Shuiyuean and Jingxu who had the accident. .”

"Then what's the matter with your wife?"

"The old lady and the wife were both deceived by Jingxu. What kind of nunnery is Shuiyue Temple? Are you sick?"

"What, what?"

Zuo Xi nodded to the surprised mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and continued to speak lines with emotion, "Jing Xu asked Zhi Zhi'er to accompany the male guest, but Zhi Zhi'er made up his mind to be good after having a relationship with Qin Zhong, and never do it again." This flesh and blood trade. I don't want Master Qin to know about this matter. I also heard that Qin Zhong and Zhizhi'er got together at the funeral of Xianxiao Rong's grandma, Qin Shi, and got angry for a while, so it disappeared. This matter The old ladies and wives can actually ask Baoyu, Baoyu was there at that time. As for whether they have been messing around with you, you two might as well ask Sister Feng."

When mentioning others, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would definitely not pay too much attention to it, but when Baoyu was mentioned, their expressions changed.

However, Baoyu is just throwing bricks to attract jade, and the real big dish is yet to come.

"I heard that Jingxu often led male guests to the secret room in the nunnery, telling him to spy on the female family members who stayed overnight at Shangxiang. He even shamelessly told others that our family's female family members can look at them as long as they pay the price. That's right. The empress in the palace once stayed in her nunnery when she was young and did not enter the palace. It is also said that the empress has icy muscles and bones. She is the embryo of a rare beauty."

"I heard that Li Yanei, the brother-in-law of the prefect of Chang'an, is a repeat customer of Shuiyue Temple. A young lady from a rich man's family went to Shuiyue Temple to offer incense. Now she has been hanged on the beam with a hemp rope." See Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang was already shocked, and Zuo Xi added fuel to the flames: "Looking at a girl who has not left the cabinet, she charges ten taels of silver, and a young daughter-in-law is twenty taels. If you want to kiss Fang Ze, that is a different price. I heard that A lot of men outside are asking Jingxu about the Empress, what should I do."

Yes, what should I do.
