Chapter 539 Honest and Obedient Qinger
The carriage of Duke Xingguo's Mansion stopped far in front of the eldest princess Ruian's house. It was still a long way away from the gate. What Aunt Yu meant was that they were all slaves, how could they dare to openly visit the eldest princess Ruian's house? Parking in front of the mansion, we parked in front of a shop across the street from Princess Ruian's mansion.
Qing'er hurriedly got off the carriage and entered the house. After a while, she came out holding a delicate box and ran towards the carriage from a distance.
Because Grandma Yu was impatient, she and her four wives waited below early.
Seeing that Qing'er finally came out, Grandma Yu breathed a sigh of relief and told a woman on the side: "Go up and pick up Fifth Miss's longevity lock. We will go back to the house immediately to show it to Taoist Master Xiushui."
At this time, the Xiushui Taoist Master has been invited over!
The stout woman nodded in agreement and rushed over unsteadily to take the box from Qing'er's hand. I don't know if it was because she was too strong or because she was walking too hastily. , before she stretched out her hand, she hit Qing'er hard.
Qing'er fell down on all fours, and then the box in his hand fell out.
Not only the box, but also the longevity lock in the box flew into the street, almost hitting someone.
The passers-by dispersed one after another. When the nearest few saw the black circle of ants on the longevity lock on the ground, they jumped three feet high in fright, screaming and trying their best to squeeze out of the crowd.
More people saw such a disgusting scene, especially some women, and screamed.
Grandma Yu's feet went weak and she collapsed on the ground on the spot. Her whole body was trembling and she murmured to herself: "Evil...evil energy, it is indeed evil. Fifth Miss's things have evil...evil energy!"
A woman was more courageous, and while desperately pulling on Nanny Yu, she said urgently: "Aunt Yu, let's run away. The fifth lady is an evil thing... She... She has the bracelets and longevity locks on her body. Those who are evil, quickly... go and report to the madam, let's leave quickly!"
As he said this, he pulled up Nanny Yu, and several people got into the carriage in a hurry. Not only did they ignore Qing'er, but they also ignored the longevity lock on the ground, as if they had encountered a savage beast.
Everyone stepped back, looking at the scene in front of them in shock and fear, and then looked at the longevity lock on the ground.
The longevity lock is surrounded by a circle of dark, rather large ants. Normally you can't find even one such big ant, but this longevity lock is almost full of them. It's heart-wrenching to see them. Chills.
Qing'er slowly stood up from the ground. She was very brave. She picked up a small branch from the ground, picked up the longevity lock and looked at it. Everyone around them stepped back three feet, for fear that something would happen. Be careful if you get infected by this ant.
Of course, there are some good people who deliberately take a few more looks. Although ants are scary, I have never seen such a strange thing. I always take a closer look so that I can brag to others in the future.
"Is there some sugar on this?" Qing'er said to himself, picked up the longevity lock and brought it to his nose to smell it, then said to himself, "It seems to really smell like osmanthus sugar! "
Does it taste like sugar? A few good-hearted men suddenly stopped being afraid.
"Let me smell it!" He held out his hand if he had something good to do. If it was really the ants attracted by the sugar, wouldn't it be a big fuss?
Qing'er handed over the branch in her hand, and boldly took it, brought it to her nose and smelled it. There was a faint sweet scent of osmanthus, which was very strong.
"It's really dipped in sugar." The good guy nodded and passed it to his friends around him. One after another, they all agreed that the flavor of the osmanthus sugar on it was really strong. Even if it was passed along, even if it wasn't The person who took over also smelled something.
Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing: "It turns out it's just a longevity lock dipped in sugar. I thought this was something evil!"
Although so many ants look very disgusting, they are definitely not that big of a deal. One ant is actually not scary. What is scary and disgusting is seeing so many ants, but the thought of the strong smell of osmanthus sugar attracting so many ants Coming is nothing.
At this moment, even if the woman was far away, she would stop. Although she felt that so many ants were actually quite disgusting, she would not be so frightened that she would turn around and run away screaming.
"You didn't pack your things properly. There's sugar on this. Go and wash it quickly so that you don't frighten a lot of people when you take it out next time!" Passing it on to Qing'er, this matter proves their bravery and carefulness. They have to talk to others when they get back.
"It's just candy. How could the people in Duke Xingguo's mansion be scared away? They also said that Fifth Miss's things are evil. This is obviously the longevity lock given to our Fifth Miss by the Madam. Fifth Miss is so old and can't take it with her, so It can be locked up! How can there be sugar in this?" Qing'er argued unconvinced while taking the branch.
Put it on the ground and beat it hard with a branch and fork. As soon as the ants were beaten, some started to run away. Some people were scared and picked up the water at hand to pour it up, but Qing'er reached out to stop it.
"Don't pour it. There is sugar on it and it will be gone as soon as you pour it. You have to keep the evidence so that our lady won't be wronged!" He said and hit the ants very quickly.
Some ants were beaten to death, and a few were crushed to death by passers-by when they were seen escaping. The number was small, so everyone was no longer afraid.
"How could I have wronged you lady because of Tang? This girl is a loyal protector, but this is too much to say!" Someone smiled and pointed at Qing'er, who was still a bit naive.
"They all don't like our lady!" Qing'er said dullly, and continued to knock on the ants on the longevity lock. Now there were many fewer ants. She knocked on them one by one, not too slowly.
"Who is your lady?" Someone was surprised.
"Our lady is the fifth lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion. She has been keeping mourning for the crown prince and the princess in Yuhui Temple. It has been more than two years now, and it will be three years soon. But now something like this happened. Our lady What a grievance!" Qing'er talked about his master's rights and wrongs in an unreasonable way.
But she looks like just a rough little maid, she is not very old, and there is no one in the house at this time, plus the matter of talents, it is okay to say something about the master if she is angry, and besides, she is not Not named.
"The fifth young lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion? Is she the one who was very filial and just recognized her ancestors?" Someone suddenly thought about it and looked at the door of Princess Ruian in the distance in surprise. Third, understand.
"That's it. I heard that the fifth young lady couldn't stay in the Xingguo Duke's mansion anymore after she recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan. The entire Xingguo Duke's mansion doesn't like this fifth lady. Is it true?"
"Since you have recognized the person, he must be the flesh and blood of the former prince Xingguo. How can you abuse him like this and send him to Yuhui Temple to be raised for three years? It is really unbecoming. It shows that it is really inappropriate. I like this fifth young lady, she is also a pitiful one, even if she has no father or mother, she doesn’t even like her relatives.”
"Didn't the little girl just say that this lock was given by the Madam of Xingguo Duke's Mansion, and that it was kept locked because the fifth lady was too old to take it with her? Then it's really possible that the candy on it is..."
"So you are going to wrongly accuse the Fifth Young Lady?" Someone took a breath of air and came to such a conclusion in shock.
Many people present looked at each other and saw that the people in the Xingguo Palace were really unreasonable. They were just a little girl. How could they not tolerate her so much that even their own grandmother would do something to her?
"Little girl, go and report to the eldest princess, you can't bear this." Someone reminded Qing'er, who looked innocent and was still knocking ants.
"Yes, yes, little girl, go to the eldest princess and tell her about this. Let her see this longevity lock!" These words attracted the agreement of many people. Looking at this little girl, you know that her master is not a wealthy person. Scheming, since the people in the Xingguo Palace don't want to see this young lady, they have no choice but to ask for help from their own grandmother!
Qing'er was pulled up in a daze, and a kind person picked her longevity lock into a box that flew to the side. He closed the box and gave it to her, pushing her towards Ruian's head. In the direction of the Princess's Mansion, "Go quickly, go quickly, it will be troublesome if you are late!"
Qing'er seemed to suddenly realize it at this time, and ran quickly to the eldest princess's mansion with the box in her arms. After running a few steps, she turned back and bowed deeply to the crowd, and then ran away in a hurry.
This little maid is quite lovable and very polite. There are many people who have a good impression of her. The onlookers watched her run into the eldest princess's house, and then they breathed a sigh of relief for her, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. , all felt that the wife of Duke Xingguo was unkind, and then some past events were revealed.
It is said that this madam did not like Princess Qinghua. It is said that this madam kept rubbing Princess Qinghua, which made the princess and the former Prince Xingguo have to leave the Duke Xingguo's mansion, and then the crown prince Xingguo died in When Princess Qinghua came back, the next boy died shortly after she was born...
There are always hints from thoughtful people to remind her, not only some past events of Mrs. Xingguo, but also the fact that the current Mrs. Xingguo was originally going to marry the former Prince Xingguo, but later had to marry the current Duke Xingguo. came out, causing some people to laugh.
Marrying a younger brother if you cannot marry your elder brother is not a beautiful thing, but it is a shame.
As we talked, we talked about Miss Shao, who is now very famous. I heard that Miss Shao has a good reputation, beautiful appearance, and better character. But when I talk about it at this time, some people will always raise objections. I don’t know. Who said that the characters of Miss Shao and Mrs. Xingguo were very similar? They immediately changed the subject further and further.
Later, it was said that Miss Shao's character was dignified on the surface, but in fact it was all fake, and her character was even more immoral. She veered in the original direction after saying some words, and most of the few who still stayed to gossip were That kind of good thing but nothing to do. When talking about such beautiful things, he became more and more enthusiastic. He had long forgotten that he was not talking about Shao Yanru at first.
But talking about beauties, especially the first beauty, is always more exciting than talking about a little maid before.
A carriage stopped on the side of the road, and after a while a cold voice came from inside: "Here comes someone, disperse everyone!"
Someone immediately responded, and two guards came out from behind the carriage. The whips in their hands were thrown at the faces of the busybody who said so...
