Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes
After the rain, the sun shines, and the moonlight is like water.
No one was interested in talking, so all three of them walked in silence, and could only hear the soft rustling of embroidered shoes on the slightly wet gravel floor.
It wasn't until entering the courtyard of Songhe Hall that Zisu turned around and locked the gate, and then went in to report, Aunt Yun whispered: "Second Grandma, it's really not me..."
Shu Huan turned to look at her.
Her face was as pale as the moonlight, and there were grievances, confusion and helplessness in her eyes.
"I know it's not you."
When people do good deeds, they often do so out of their own minds, while when they do bad deeds, they do so out of self-interest. Aunt Yun can only benefit from threatening her by using that incident as a handle. If it is exposed, both sides will suffer. This is why the two of them are here at this time. I just don’t know if Aunt Yun has thought about it. People who plot against others will be plotted against by others in the end. It’s only her who is unlucky.
Shu Huan sighed secretly, and asked, "What did my parents tell you?"
Aunt Yun shook her head and said: "I didn't say anything, so I asked their second grandma if she could read, and they said that you had studied with that scholar, and I asked people to inquire about the rest, except for the sachet, Nothing else."
Shu Huan made up her mind, pulled up the hem of her dress, and walked up the steps
.
When things came to an end, she was not afraid anymore, not to mention that even if she was afraid, it would be useless.
It's just that the praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, and Aunt Yun is a praying mantis, who could that bird be
As soon as the two of them entered the main hall, they saw the old matriarch sitting at the head with a sullen face. His expression was even uglier than what Gu Xihe described.
Shu Huan took a step forward and saluted first: "I have seen the old lady."
The old matriarch snorted coldly, and ordered: "Everyone retreat, no one is allowed to stay in the house!"
"Yes." Zisu and other maids responded, and they all retreated anxiously, closing the door behind them.
The old matriarch walked over in person, bolted the door, and then glanced at the faces of Shu Huan and Aunt Yun, and shouted: "Kneel down!"
The sound was like a thunderbolt, which made Aunt Yun's body tremble, and she knelt down first.
Shu Huan flicked his clothes, then knelt down.
The old matriarch turned around and sat down, watching them without speaking with a gloomy expression. She didn't know how long it had passed, and finally heard her say: "Where's the sachet? Hurry up and hand it over!"
Sure enough, it was for this matter!
Already mentally prepared, Shu Huan's eyelids still twitched, wondering with a headache how many eyes and ears had been placed around him, or in the Shengmei Pavilion.
Aunt Yun's body trembled again, she hesitated for a moment, then suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Back to Majesty, I have already burned the sachet."
"Burn?" The old lady sneered in disbelief, "Who are you covering for?"
Aunt Yun had no other way out, went to the doctor in a hurry, caught something wrong, and wanted to use it to blackmail Shu Huan, but she refuted it in the morning, and thought about the matter from the beginning to the end, and found that she had done something wrong, or She said that the mistake was that she took Shu Huan's casual nature as a naive ignorant of the world, only then did she realize that it was herself who thought the most naive!
When the sachet was handed over, she couldn't keep it, so she bit her bullet and said: "I'm afraid that if I lose it, or if the maids see it badly, I will burn it to make it safe."
. "
"You—" the old matriarch slapped the table, pointed at her, was too angry to speak, finally gasped for a while, then looked at Shu Huan with anger, and said quickly: "The sachet is indeed yours!" Made it yourself and sent it out?"
The old matriarch seems to know all about the inside story, this is embarrassing for Shu Huan, she clearly did not do the thing, admit it, she is not willing to admit it, but if she denies it, others will still think it was her doing it, the denial is only due to guilty conscience.
She had no choice but to say in a low voice: "Your majesty knows that my natal family is poor. Before I got married, I had to do some needlework every day to sell money for rice. I have sewn clothes and made countless sachet fan sets over the years. I really can't remember it. I didn’t do it anymore, and I haven’t given anything like this to anyone.”
The old lady stared at her, and choked out two words: "Sophistry!"
Shu Huan didn't say any more, but just looked at her calmly.
Regardless of whether the sachet was really burned or not, since Aunt Yun had already said it was burned, it was impossible to take it out again. There was nothing to compare, and everything was just speculation without evidence.
Seeing her looking directly at him, the old lady felt annoyed at her rudeness, but strangely, her anger subsided a little, and she asked her again: "Is it true that you learned calligraphy with that scholar?"
Shu Huan stabilized his mind, quickly went through the background of the original owner's life that Gu Xiran had said, nodded and replied: "He often takes clothes to wash, and sometimes he will teach me to recognize two characters when he is free, saying that he can recognize characters, I can embroider some words and poems on the embroidery, which is the favorite of literati and refined scholars, and it can be sold for two dollars more. If it is not because of this, how can my mother let me know how to read?"
Such speculation, even if it is not true, should not be far from the truth.
The old matriarch didn't know her background as well as Gu Xiran, but it was not too little. Listening to her words carefully, she pondered for a while, but she couldn't find any loopholes. On the contrary, she seemed very calm, so she could only say coldly: " Lonely men and widows are always together, who knows what will happen!"
The questioning this time is different from the last time. Last time, she accidentally caused the fire and felt guilty, but this time she admitted that she did nothing wrong, and she didn't feel wronged at all, so Shu Huan didn't look away, straightened her spine and said: " Taijun, please forgive my impoliteness. Although I come from a poor family, I know etiquette, righteousness and shame. What's more, I have learned characters and learned some principles, and I will not do anything that insults my family! Besides, learning characters is a few years ago. , I'm still young, I haven't reached Ji, what can I do like a mere child?"
The old matriarch was choked by her words, and said angrily: "Then you will also give someone a sachet embroidered with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in water? After reading the book, you still don't know the meaning of the pair of mandarin ducks?"
These words were asked so harshly that Aunt Yun turned pale with astonishment, and quietly pulled her sleeves, telling her not to say any more
.
Unexpectedly, Shu Huan was also annoyed, thinking that the old lady had a habit of planting shit pots on her head, and regardless of Aunt Yun's persuasion, she said loudly: "Taijun, I went back earlier, did I embroider the sachet?" It’s still unknown, not to mention that I have never sent this thing to anyone, if the Taijun doesn’t believe it, no matter who you ask to confront, I will always say the same!”
This time, she gambled!
Seeing the mysterious look of the old lady when she sent the two of them here for questioning, she couldn't believe it. She could really spread the matter out and find someone to confront her! Even if confronted, he is not afraid, since the sachet is not here, there is no basis for his words.
The old lady seemed to have the habit of smashing tea bowls, so she picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it towards her. She didn't hide, and there was no time to dodge, but the old lady's eyes were not good, and the tea bowl still missed and landed on the cloud. On Auntie's body, the tea in it dripped all over her body, but fortunately it was not freshly brewed, it had already cooled down, so she was not afraid of getting burned.
Aunt Yun was shocked by this, her eyes were filled with tears.
The old lady glanced at her in disgust: "Why are you wronged? You didn't make a fuss about this!"
As he said that, he turned to Shu Huan and asked sharply, "I don't care about the sachet. Is it true or not?!"
It even got out!
It turns out that the old lady cares most about this!
I'm afraid that before she married in, she had an affair with someone else, adding wild seeds to the Gu family!
It was clearly a very severe question, and if you don't respond well, you will suffer disaster, but for some reason, Shu Huan felt relieved, and smiled slightly: "No such thing! If the majesty doesn't believe it, I will send the doctor to take the pulse right now." Bar!"
