Chapter 1243: Geng scroll embroidered spring pouch incident
In addition to things like this, if word spread, I'm afraid the reputations of the girls in the garden would be affected. According to Tanchun's original idea, it was best to hide it and not spread it.
But look at the group of people in front of you. There are four girls on the second sister's side. She brought the servant book, Yun Yatou came here Cuixi, and the fourth sister brought Zhenhua. There are about ten people in this miscellaneous group. With these girls' gossipy temper, how can they hide it?
So Tanchun quickly gave up on this thought. He couldn't hide this matter, and he had to report it to his wife, second sister-in-law, and sister-in-law Zhu.
After all, the second sister-in-law has not handed over these affairs yet. It can be said that the responsibility lies with her, but she is now a person who has little relationship with the Jia family. Before the second brother Lian comes back, she will leave Rongguo Mansion to find another way out. She has been busy with her own affairs during this period, and has no interest or enthusiasm in public affairs. What can I do?
Sister-in-law Kezhu, are you willing to take over this stall? I'm afraid it won't work if I don't take over. Sister-in-law Yizhu's temperament means that she can only recite Amitabha and leave most everything to herself. Tanchun is mentally prepared for this, but if she encounters such a thing tonight, she will let her While I was a little busy, I also felt a shadow cast over my heart.
How come this Rongguo Mansion is like this now?
All kinds of thoughts passed through his heart, but it was only for a moment. Tanchun calmed down and took a look at the lump that was still on the edge of the willow root. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Third sister, what should we do about this matter?" Yingchun asked timidly. Shi Xiangyun and Xichun also looked over and looked at Yingchun.
Yes, the most urgent task now is how to deal with this matter.
You can't hide something, and you don't dare to conceal it. If you conceal it, people might think you have a guilty conscience.
There are so many people living in the garden now, and they are all talkative. Except for Li Wan, who is a widow, the others are all girls who have not yet left the court.
Although the Xue sisters got married and left, Li Wan's two younger sisters moved in again. Just two days after the Xue sisters got married, Sister-in-law Zhu's aunt brought her two daughters, who were Li Wan's cousins. Li Min and Li Qi came to the capital city from Jinling and lived in Qiangweiyuan, which is close to Daoxiang Village and Hongxiang Garden.
There are so many people, including the maids and women, there are at least nearly a hundred people in total. This does not include the kitchen and the women who keep watch at night. Once word gets out, who is trying to cover up such things, I am afraid that this The sewage will have to be poured on your head.
So Tan Chun thought for a while and made a decision: "This matter is not a trivial matter. It is no more important than other things. It must be reported to the wife, the eldest sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law. Maybe everyone knows that the second sister-in-law will want this house after the twentieth of the first lunar month." The internal affairs were left to Sister-in-law Zhu, and I was to assist Sister-in-law Zhu. It happened to be the time of handover, and it happened again, so I didn’t dare to cover it up. Fortunately, the second sister had four or five people present today, and now And I, Yun Yatou and Fourth Sister met together, so I can explain clearly and be innocent. As for how to find out about this matter, it is up to my wife and sisters-in-law to decide."
Tanchun's words were very reasonable, and Yingchun, Xiangyun and Xichun all felt that they were reasonable. If this matter was to be explained clearly, no one would be able to bear such a stigma in the future.
"Tan girl, how about going to invite the wife now?" Shi Xiangyun was a little hesitant. This is the eve of the New Year. It is really disappointing to ask the wife to deal with such embarrassing matters. The wife will definitely be unhappy, and if she touches the wife, she will only I'm afraid it will spread all over the house immediately.
"No, let's invite the second sister-in-law here first. The second sister-in-law is well-informed and experienced. Why not ask Si Qi to quietly invite the second sister-in-law here and explain it clearly to see what the second sister-in-law means." Tan Chun thought for a moment. He shook his head and said that it was not appropriate to ask Mrs. Wang. Although this matter could not be suppressed and would spread to the public sooner or later, it could be delayed for a while, and with Wang Xifeng's sophistication, he should know how to deal with this kind of thing.
Tanchun was not aware of the grammatical errors in his words. He was well-informed and experienced. How could he use such words to describe the matter of the embroidered spring bag? If Wang Xifeng were here, I would probably fall out.
Fortunately, Yingchun and Xichun didn't understand. Xiangyun was careless, but it was only after Tanchun said it for a while that he realized that his words were a bit inappropriate.
Fortunately, no one noticed this. Although Tanchun's face was feverish, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Girl Tan, just throw this thing here and we'll wait here? What if someone else comes again and sees us here and asks, how should we answer?" Shi Xiangyun reminded.
Tanchun shook his head: "We can't stay here. We have to find a place to wait. How about we wait in Didui Pavilion?"
It's a bit inappropriate to go anywhere now. Such a large number of people will attract attention wherever they go. All I can think of is the lonely and improper Didui Pavilion hanging in the water.
The group of people immediately agreed, but asked Lian Hua'er to pick up the embroidered spring bag, and arranged for Si Qi to invite Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng was already asleep when she heard Siqi calling the door and asked Xiaohong to ask. However, Siqi still refused to say anything and only said that he wanted to see the second mistress.
Wang Xifeng was quite displeased, but she also knew that she didn't have a few days left anyway, so she got up to meet him. According to Si Qi's wishes, he actually wanted to avoid Ping'er, but he also knew that not only would he offend Ping'er, but he might also Prince Xifeng refused to go, so he briefly explained the matter in front of Ping'er.
Wang Xifeng was shocked. This embroidered spring bag actually appeared in the garden?
She understood as soon as she heard Siqi's hesitant introduction.
This is nothing new. The gentry and wealthy households in cities such as Capital City, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Jinling often gave gifts for fun. Many of them were even made by famous artists, and they were all based on the master's **** paintings. Embroidery, such as Qiu Shizhou's, is very expensive, and they are very particular about adding various aphrodisiac special spices into the embroidered spring bag. In total, it is even more expensive. Of course, this only refers to particularly expensive and high-end goods.
Where there are high-end goods, there are naturally ordinary goods. There are also such things in romantic places. How many prostitutes have such things for the needs of their patrons. Of course, there are also some ordinary people who like this and can get them. Such objects are just for fun and flirting.
But you must know that this thing is a flirting thing for married couples when they play in the boudoir. Although the wealthy people in the upper class are ashamed of it on the surface, in fact, the people in the wealthy families in Beijing are not interested in playing with this thing. Very few, it's just that they are rarely seen in other people's homes, they are kept privately in the house.
Even Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian had a relationship before, but later on, the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian became colder, so naturally there was no need for this thing to flirt with.
Wang Xifeng did not rush to Didicui Pavilion, but thought for a while before asking: "Siqi, you didn't see clearly the person who jumped out of the boat?"
Si Qi shook his head, "We were with the girl at the back, and we only saw a figure. Lian Hua'er was in the front. We could only clearly see that it might be a woman, but she moved quickly and couldn't see clearly what she was wearing."
Although the image of a woman makes Wang Xifeng feel relieved, this kind of thing itself is a bad sign. The management of the Grand View Garden is chaotic, so such unsightly things appear, which means that at least some women are indiscreet. , bringing this kind of thing that girls in the boudoir should never see into the Grand View Garden.
If the situation is bad, there are women in the garden hooking up with men from outside, and maybe even sneaking into the garden quietly to find a secret place to have fun. That would be a great shame for the Jia family, and the reputation of the girls will be greatly affected. .
Wang Xifeng had some doubts about whether the boat was being used as a place of pleasure. At least that place was indeed a bit secret. It was only used by the imperial concubine for her wedding, and no one usually went on it.
"Ping'er, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er sideways.
"Does the third lady mean to conduct a search of the Grand View Garden?" Ping'er hesitated, "But tonight is the New Year's Eve, so I'm afraid such a high-profile action is inappropriate, but if someone really enters, If we leave the garden alone, I'm afraid something will really happen."
Wang Xifeng also found it difficult. The reason why she didn't go there immediately was because she thought that if she went there, she wouldn't be able to come up with any countermeasures, which would damage her prestige and face.
“Not to mention such a big commotion, I’m afraid I have to report it to my wife.”
Ping'er added.
Wang Xifeng no longer wants to care about this kind of thing. Anyway, she will get rid of it completely in twenty days, but now that people are coming to her door, she still doesn't care.
"I think so, Ping'er, go and talk to Lin Zhixiao and tell him that someone saw a figure by the stream in the garden. I don't know if he saw it wrong. He organized people to patrol the garden tonight and send out double copies. After all the hard work, Yinzi also asked the girls in the garden to close the doors and be careful..." Wang Xifeng pondered for a moment, "As for this matter, let's not mention it for the time being. I'll explain it to my wife tomorrow."
At this time, Wang Xifeng would rather spend more money than have any trouble. He arranged for manpower to conduct a thorough inspection, but there were many mountains, rivers and forests in the Grand View Garden. It was really difficult to search at night. It was better to postpone the search in detail until tomorrow.
She actually felt that Tanchun, the girl, came out of the blue to help her, and she almost asked her to inspect the Grand View Garden, but doing so would undoubtedly cause a big disturbance, and the finger of blame would have to be pointed at herself in the end. He wants to leave, but he doesn't want to take the blame.
I haven’t been able to update well in May, but I hope I’ll have a good time in June and work hard, so I’m asking for your support with a guaranteed monthly ticket!
