Section 114 Interrogation
Among the few maids around Song Paner, Nian Lu has the most peaceful and quiet personality.
She never fights for anything.
It’s not that I am born not aggressive, but that I feel that I can’t compare with it, and I don’t know what it means to be idle, and I even make my wife unhappy.
Her diligence and carefulness are also her strengths.
If Mu Qing is favored, Shaoyao will feel very uncomfortable, but Nian Lu doesn’t care.
Mu Qing is calm and capable, comparable to Haitang, and is good at making snacks. Both the wife and the young men like her, which is something Nianlu doesn't have.
If you can't compare, there is no need to be jealous.
But Shaoyao doesn't like Mu Qing very much.
Although she dared not reveal it in front of her wife, she had to talk behind her back, but she said that Mu Qing was originally the maid next to the eldest lady. The third lady just said casually, so she abandoned the eldest lady and came with the third lady.
.
He is either a kind person who is ungrateful or a ill-hearted person.
This is what Shaoyao thinks about Mu Qing.
Nian Lu felt that their wife’s true nature was much easier to understand than the eldest wife’s temper. Their wife did sometimes get angry, but after losing her temper, she would pass and never vent her anger.
After touching the wife's pulse, you will not offend her when you say anything.
And the eldest lady is a little confused.
They are all servants, so where is the same?
He serves his master with the same heart, what kind of heartlessness?
That time, the master from Sanyuanpo Hutong fell ill, and his wife kept Mu Qing to serve Miss Seven. After she came back, Mu Qing looked wrong.
Then, she quietly asked the servant at the corner gate to take the bag and go out.
Nian Lu saw that time and was confused.
I won’t let Shaoyao guess correctly. Mu Qing is really bad for his wife, right?
It’s okay if you dare to harm your wife, but I don’t want to rely on it.
Just like tonight, I served my wife and rested, Nian Lu and his wife lived in the ear room behind the main courtyard, and they also rested.
Tonight is the night of peony.
Nianlu sat down and had a little astringent eyes. She got up and poured a cup of tea. She sat in front of the window and drank.
Then, she heard the sound of the gate opening.
She just thought that some little girl ran out to play at night.
It was almost night, and the corner gates everywhere were about to be set. The little maids were ignorant, and the wife wanted to scold them for being undisciplined.
Nianlu followed him quietly.
Then the figure walked very quickly.
Nian Lu became more and more surprised. She followed a few steps lightly, but found that it was Mu Qing.
She was a little embarrassed.
Mu Qing probably went to the yard to stroll around.
She didn't grow up with Nian Lu, Shaoyao and others, but I was afraid that she was also confused about these big maids who didn't like her.
Suddenly Nianlu followed her again, afraid that she would think too much.
Nian Lu quickly stopped and wanted to go back, but saw Mu Qing exiting the corner gate and heading out of the second gate in diameter.
After leaving the second gate, it is the outer courtyard.
It was such a big night...
Nianlu was uneasy and followed quietly.
Mu Qing didn't go out of the second door.
She was talking to a servant by the corner gate.
From afar, Nianlu couldn't hear what she was saying.
Then, she handed a purse in her arms to the servant and gave a few more instructions.
Seeing that there was no one around, I hurried back to the inner courtyard.
Nianlu began to struggle in her heart.
It is prohibited to give private gifts to the inner house. No matter what Mu Qing handed it out, the wife will definitely not allow such stealing.
But Nianlu didn't catch any evidence.
She said bad things about Mu Qing for no reason, but her wife only thought she was jealous, but instead caused her to suffer.
Tell Shaoyao that Shaoyao must take advantage of the issue and start arguing first.
The lady was pregnant, and the wife was sad when she quarreled.
Nian Lu was slow and thought a lot along the way. She remembered that a few days ago, Miss Seven's breasts Weirui asked her for some fresh styles and said that she would make a small dress embroidered for Miss Seven.
Miss Seven is not good at needlework, so she likes others to embroider her clothes with exquisite patterns.
But Nianlu deals with the new little maids all day long, for fear that they would do something wrong, so she didn't dare to take a break for a moment, and she forgot.
Thinking of this, she went to Gu Jinzhi's yard with the excuse.
Gu Jinzhi was listening to Wei Rui saying this: "... Both sisters are capable around the wife. They are not good-looking when they break it. I don't know what they did, so I broke it back."
Mom Zhu praised on the side: "Good boy, you did the right thing."
Youhe also said: "It is better to have less than more things. The sisters on the wife's side are not our turn to take care of them. We just need to serve the girl."
Gu Jinzhi was silent and said nothing.
She never had much doubt about Mu Qing.
Mu Qing is calm and introverted. Compared with other maids at home, she is indeed more capable. She looks a bit like a crabapple. It’s not that her mother likes her.
She is also responsible, and her words and deeds are all rules. She has never seen anything frivolous about her.
Song Paner and Gu Jinzhi are relieved.
Suddenly she did such irregular things, Gu Jinzhi paused in her heart.
As he was talking, the little maid came in and said that Sister Nian Lu, who was beside her, was here.
Youhe and Weirui were startled.
Especially Wei Rui, looking at Gu Jinzhi helplessly.
Could it be that she was discovered by Nian Lu just now?
"I'll invite her in." Gu Jinzhi smiled, and then said to Wei Rui, "She has discovered it, can she still come to question me? You're thinking too much..."
Wei Rui felt relieved when she thought about it and smiled and greeted her.
Nianlu explained that she forgot about Wei Ruihua's appearance: "...I'll draw a picture for my sister now."
I have already gotten up, so Song Paner must have gone to bed.
No matter how anxious Nian Lu is, she shouldn't have run to Gu Jinzhi's side at this time.
Maybe she had just followed Mu Qing and did not return to the main courtyard, so she came straight to Gu Jinzhi's side.
Wei Rui thanked him and went out to pour tea.
Gu Jinzhi asked Zhu's mother and Youhe to go out first.
When only Gu Jinzhi and Nian Lu were left in the room, Nian Lu told Gu Jinzhi about Mu Qing: "...I told my wife that she was afraid that she would feel jealous and provoke trouble, and would make things worse.
I don’t have a lie. This is the second time Mu Qing handed something to someone outside.”
"I believe it." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will write down this matter, I will have my own opinions tomorrow. The key is about to be settled, so sister will go back first, so that my mother will not be able to explain when she asks.
I will paint for Weirui after a few days of leisure.”
Nian Lu said that, but there is no trace of ink.
She took the palace lantern again, got up and walked quickly.
After Nian Lu left, everyone asked Gu Jinzhi what Nian Lu came to do.
Gu Jinzhi said it once.
He also told them: "Don't tell me first. First, know what secrets Mu Qing has. If you make a fuss, your wife will be angry. It's all your fault."
A few people were busy saying they didn't dare.
No words all night.
The next day, Gu Jinzhi washed up as soon as possible and went to his mother for breakfast.
Zhu Zhongjun also came early in the morning.
Mu Qing and Nian Lu served aside.
Nian Lu looked a little nervous. She looked at Gu Jinzhi several times, but Mu Qing was calm and had no expression.
Song Paner had sharp eyes and soon noticed Nian Lu's strangeness.
She remained silent for the first time.
After dinner, Gu Jinzhi accompanied Song Paner for a walk.
Brother Xuan and Zhu Zhongjun followed behind.
The path Gu Jinzhi is walking today is different from usual.
Song Pan'er asked her: "Are we going out of the second door? You led me out straight away."
Only then did Mu Qing change his face.
This was her way out last night.
Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "I haven't been here before. Mom, there is a corner gate there. Where does it lead to? Is it connected to the Luyang Palace?"
Song Pan'er thought about it, but she didn't know much.
There was a servant watching at the door.
Seeing Song Paner and others coming, he hurriedly opened the door.
Mu Qing's face looked even more ugly.
When I opened the door, I saw a small alley outside, which did not connect to the Luyang King and Nanchang King Mansion, but to the back street, which was a small street selling some scattered things.
Song Pan'er asked the servant to close the door again: "It's the most unsafe here. If an old lady or maid wants to save trouble, open the door to buy things and bring in people who are not clean, what's the best thing?
You must look at the portal."
The servant said yes.
Song Pan'er still felt that it was inappropriate, so she took a few steps and said to Mu Qing: "Go and tell him, seal the door, and let us take care of the key. Send him to other places. The door is open here,
It was originally convenient for the women in the kitchen to enter and exit. Now, after thinking about it, it was really inappropriate. I was afraid of any dirty things."
Mu Qing's face became very ugly.
Nian Lu was also nervous.
Song Paner was confused.
What happened to these two girls?
She must have known the fact that Gu Jinzhi brought Song Pan'er here.
Go back and interrogate your daughter.
Song Pan'er didn't say anything in public, and asked Mu Qing to go quickly, and turned around and took them back.
The King of Luyang and Brother Xuan walked behind.
Brother Xuan didn't want to be with him, so he quickly squeezed to Gu Jinzhi.
The King of Luyang looked around.
The yard of Guzhai is adjacent to the Nanchang Palace and the Luyang Palace. It is connected on three sides, and all with courtyard walls connected.
The old emperor originally planned to give it to the princess.
There is no need to be a taboo between brothers and sisters or aunts, so there is no other courtyard wall. The three families have walls connected.
But now living in the Gu family, there is something wrong with it.
Zhu Zhongjun's eyes turned and looked around.
After walking around, the food was almost done, and the group returned to the main courtyard.
Song Paner's legs were a little sore.
Gu Jinzhi helped her beat her legs.
Song Pan'er sent the others out, leaving only Nianlu.
Shaoyao was slightly surprised: What happened to Nianlu?
Song Pan'er didn't speak, just closed her eyes and let Gu Jinzhi help her massage to relieve fatigue.
Nianlu's heart is full of ups and downs.
A moment later, Mu Qing also came back, took the key in his hand, and handed it to Song Paner: "...The servant handed it to Si Jian from the outer courtyard and said that he would be sent to serve in the chariot and horses."
Song Paner nodded slightly.
Then, her voice suddenly sternly and she said, "You two, kneel down!"
Nian Lu and Mu Qing had something to do in their hearts. When they heard the harsh shout, their legs were weak and they immediately knelt in front of Song Paner.
"What a young girl, you dare to make a fool in front of me!" Song Pan'er scolded in a deep voice, "Is it because I treat you too leniently on weekdays? Nian Lu, tell me first, what's going on?"
"mother……"
As soon as Gu Jinzhi spoke, Song Pan'er glared at her: "You wait, when you ask, I'll ask Nian Lu first!"
