Chapter 1242: Geng scroll embroidered spring pouch incident (1)
The eyes of the five people all fell on this thing that was thrown in the middle of the road. Xiuju, with his sharp eyes and quick hands, picked it up and felt a strong fragrance coming to his nostrils. It was Yingchun, Siqi, Fang who were surrounding him. Guan and Lianhua both felt their hearts tremble.
"What is this?" Xiuju held the purse-like thing in her hand and asked in surprise.
I saw that this purse-like thing was embroidered on both sides, with a milky white background, and figures embroidered with pink jade silk thread. On the front, there was a naked man and woman embracing each other. The woman's legs were wrapped around the man's waist, but her hands were hooked on the man's neck. The man is tall and strong, with one hand supporting the woman's buttocks and the other hand holding her breasts. The happy expressions on their faces are vivid and every detail is visible.
"Huh?!" Several girls screamed almost at the same time, and Xiujiang was so frightened that he dropped the thing on the ground.
Yingchun covered her eyes with her hands, her face was as red as a cloud, and her heart was pounding. The other little maids were also so frightened that their faces turned pale and turned red quickly.
On the other hand, although Si Qi was also blushing, he was much calmer. He looked around and picked up the thing again, "Lian Hua'er, can you see clearly? Was it dropped by the black shadow just now?"
Lian Hua'er hesitated for a moment, "I only saw that figure rushing out of the boat and running from the front, but I didn't notice whether this thing fell on him, but people coming from this road People go here, in addition to the girls, the third girl, the fourth girl, Miss Shi, Grandma Zhu and Miss Xing always go here. There are many people in their house. If that person hadn't lost it, wouldn't they have discovered it long ago? Already?"
"That's not necessarily true. What if it was someone in their house who fell into the house?" Xiuju said unconvinced: "There are quite a lot of women in the houses of Grandma Zhu, Third Miss, and Fourth Miss. They come and go. …”
In every girl's house, there are all kinds of women and servants. Of course there are many older ones, but there are also quite a few in their twenties and thirties. Most of these women and servants are the women of the servants in the house, and the children of the women. Most of the daughters-in-law are servants of the house. Although the rules of the Grand View Garden are that ordinary people in the house are not allowed to enter without permission, and men are even more taboo. However, the women, especially those who are related to the girls in the garden, are not subject to such restrictions. Limited ranks.
Of course this is just a customary rule. If Feng Ziying wants to go in, who can stop her? That must be an exception.
While the two were arguing, they saw a group of people coming from behind. Since they were all focused on the thing in front of them, they didn't even notice that the group of people had passed Qinfang Pavilion and saw them clustered together. here.
Until the group of people was almost there, Yingchun and Siqi suddenly realized that it was already too late.
"Huh?!" When they saw Tan Chun, Shi Xiangyun, and Xichun approaching, even though Si Qi was usually rough, he was so frightened that his face changed.
Previously in front of Yingchun, she acted like she was not afraid of anyone, but in fact she knew it. It was just Grandma Zhu, but this third girl was not someone who was easily fooled. If she got the handle , The skin will definitely peel off even if you die.
Even though the matter in front of me has nothing to do with me, I still have this thing in my hand. I dare not hide it, dare not throw it away, and dare not show it to others. This is extremely embarrassing.
Tanchun's suspicious eyes wandered over his second sister and the girls.
I saw the second sister's eyes were frightened, her face turned red and white, and Siqi was holding something in his hand, as if he wanted to hide it, or holding a hot potato, but his eyes kept turning, his face It was also a little unnatural, which surprised Tanchun.
Si Qi Tanchun knows that Wang Shanbao's granddaughter has always been a domineering little hoof. Fortunately, this little hoof has always protected her master. The second sister's weak temperament also needs such a person to protect her, but this Si Qi is also Then some of the girls in the second sister's house were also spoiled. The little girls Xiuju, Fangguan, and Lianhuaer also became arrogant. I heard that they had a dispute with Sister-in-law Liu in the back room a few days ago. There was a commotion in the kitchen.
Several other little girls are also full of nervousness and fear, and even a little excited. What does this mean?
Tanchun had already seen some clues, but the straight-tempered Shi Xiangyun didn't realize the embarrassment here. Seeing Si Qi standing in the middle looking like he couldn't stop, he stepped forward and said, "Second sister, what are you doing here? It’s freezing cold. If you don’t go back inside to warm yourself up, how can there be any scenery at night by the stream?”
Before Yingchun could answer, Shi Xiangyun had already seen something in Si Qi's hand, and immediately rushed forward to get it: "Siqi, what are you holding in your hand? Did you or your second sister embroider the incense?" Bag?"
Hearing what Shi Xiangyun said, Si Qi turned pale and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no,..."
"What is that?" Shi Xiangyun saw Si Qi's frightened but embarrassed look, as if he didn't want to let himself get the thing in her hand, and he was even more curious, "Show it to me..."
"No, Miss Yun, I can't see,..." Siqi didn't know how to explain, and looked around for help. But in a situation like mine, Yingchun didn't know what to do. How could he have the quick wit to deal with it? She's not that kind either.
Tanchun saw some truth, but she couldn't think of anything that couldn't be seen.
Who is hiding the stolen goods? It was true that the girls in this garden had never lost some small items or private money, but Siqi was not such a person, and Tanchun still believed this.
Or a banned book? Brother Bao brought it in?
If it were a banned book, no one would be bold enough to bring it in except Brother Bao, but it wouldn't make a brash girl like Siqi so panicked. To put it bluntly, Tanchun would also read books like "The Romance of the West Chamber" She even knew that Sister Bao and Sister Lin had also seen it.
While Tanchun was thinking about it, Shi Xiangyun had already grabbed Siqi's hand without hesitation, and snatched it from Siqi's hand amidst everyone's exclamations.
If Si Qi really wanted to hide it or prevent Shi Xiangyun from grabbing it, she could do it with her skills, but Si Qi was wondering why she wanted to bear this crime?
It was just a chance meeting. The third girl regarded herself as a thief. This girl Yun was also careless. The fourth girl, who was as cold and beautiful as ice and snow, all had glaring eyes. In this case, it would be better to Spread it out and let everyone have a good look at it. See how you girls, who are usually more discerning than arrogant, will behave when you see this kind of thing.
Under a few lanterns, Shi Xiangyun snatched the thing and spread it out, "Huh?!"
The exclamation was quickly mixed with a breath of cold air. Shi Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, and he actually let this thing live in his hands, not knowing what to do with it.
Under the bright lantern fire, the thing has been turned over. It is no longer the side that Si Qi held in his hand for everyone to see, but the other side.
Still the same style, but now it’s one man and two women,…
In front of everyone's eyes, a few lanterns were held high, and the thing was presented vividly in front of everyone, and they could see it clearly.
"Ah?!" In panic, Shi Xiangyun suddenly threw the thing out, but it happened to be thrown next to Xichun's chest. Xichun, who was frightened and ashamed, burst into tears and hurriedly grabbed it. He threw it, but by chance it landed on Tanchun's embroidered shoes. Tanchun was so shocked that he jumped up suddenly, as if he had been stung by a scorpion, kicked the thing away, and screamed.
If Feng Ziying were here, I'm afraid the whole scene would be extremely funny. It was just an embroidered spring bag, but it scared the **** out of all the untouched girls. She was afraid that whoever she threw it on would have her reputation ruined. Or contract the plague.
The embroidered spring pouch was lifted to the side by Tanchun's kick and rolled to the edge of the willow tree, immersed in the darkness. Only then did the panic-stricken girls regain their composure.
Tanchun said sharply: "Si Qi, where did this thing come from? How dare you...?"
"Back to Miss Third, when we were coming from the front yard just now, we saw a figure getting out of the boat and suddenly running towards the Cuiyan Bridge. Lian Hua'er was walking in front and was startled. I saw this one dropped on the road. We just picked it up and looked at it, and the girls rescued it..."
Si Qi spoke concisely and comprehensively, and introduced the situation in a few words. After Tanchun, Xiangyun and Xichun felt relieved for a while, they felt frightened. There were such people coming and going in this yard, and they didn't know where they came from. If a man from outside comes in, wouldn't it destroy the innocence of the girls?
"Lian Hua'er, can you see clearly whether the people coming out of the boat are men or women, and how they are dressed?" Tan Chun was the most attentive and alert, and immediately asked Lian Hua'er.
Lian Hua'er was shrunk by Tan Chun's cold gaze. He only hesitated and recalled for a moment before saying: "She looks like a woman. I couldn't see her clothes clearly. I only saw her small figure and nimble steps. All of a sudden, she looked like a woman." He rushed past, and in a blink of an eye, he looked like a woman. Where did this man come from in this garden?"
"Hmph, all these things have been exposed, who can tell clearly? The women in these doors only focus on eating, drinking, playing cards and sleeping. How often do they conduct serious inspections at night?" Tan Chun I have long been very dissatisfied with the women at the gate of Grand View Garden. She is just a concubine, and Wang Xifeng is in charge of the affairs of the house. Naturally, it is not easy to care too much. However, something like this happened today, and it happened two days ago. Ten years ago, Sister-in-law Zhu and I were about to take over the affairs of the government, so we had to take it seriously.
