Chapter 392 Autumn Moon of the Four Great Talents
Seeing that Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming did not give way, the women all stopped.Shiliu, who was walking in the front, looked at them with scrutiny and asked, "What are you doing here? Could it be that you cheated Xia Xiang of money? Isn't it?"
"is not it?"
"Is it you?"
The maids yelled, clenched their sticks and surrounded Chen Xiaosheng and the four of them, as if they wanted to settle accounts.Wen Zhengming looked at Chen Xiaosheng, and whispered, "Old Zhu, what's going on? What is Qiuyue playing?"
"That's not Qiuyue." Chen Xiaosheng replied in a low voice, bowed his hands to the girls, and said: "It was a misunderstanding, we just happened to walk this way, and we don't know you all, and we don't know what money you are talking about. Please make room for us, thank you."
Shiliu snorted, and said, "Give it up if you say so? You're not a good person just because you look like a mouse, and of course you can't believe what you say! Xia Xiang, tell me, are you one of them?"
Qiuxiang took Xia Xiang's hand and asked: "Xia Xiang, tell the truth, is it them? If so, we must get the money back. The more than 300 taels of silver are the hard-earned money of the sisters. Tell me quickly." ah."
Xia Xiang looked at Chen Xiaosheng and the others, and hesitated, "This... this... shouldn't be..."
Shiliu glared at her, and said angrily, "Xia Xiang! You're still covering up that stinky man at this time? He lied to you for money, he's not a good person."
Qiu Xiang took a step forward, seeing Tang Bohu staring at her, she was very disgusted, frowned and said: "Did you deceive Xia Xiang? If so, quickly take out the money, otherwise my sisters will not let you go. "
Su Xueyun walked slowly to the outside of the crowd, and said to the little maid who was blocking the way: "Let me go."
"Who are you, didn't you see that we, Qunfang, have something to do?" The little girl turned her head impatiently, her eyes widened when she saw Su Xueyun's face, and she exclaimed, "Sister Qiuxiang?"
Qiuxiang looked around suspiciously, "Who is calling me? What's the matter?"
The little maid was so frightened that she took two steps back and stammered: "No, no, no, sister Qiuxiang, there is another sister Qiuxiang here!"
"What are you talking about?" All the girls turned around impatiently, and when they saw Su Xueyun, they all exclaimed. They went back and forth to look at the faces of Su Xueyun and Qiuxiang. Except for their different dresses, they were almost the same person.
The girls gave way unconsciously, Su Xueyun walked over and stood in front of Qiuxiang, carefully sizing up her appearance, feeling as if she was looking in a mirror, but she could find the difference between her and herself from the other's eyes and expressions, This feeling is really too strange, even strangers who meet for the first time, it seems that there is some connection that is holding them back.
Su Xueyun said softly, "Your name is Qiuxiang?"
"Yes... yes." Qiuxiang looked at her in shock, raised her hand and touched her face, her eyes were full of disbelief, "You, you..."
Many memories related to Qiuxiang flashed through Su Xueyun's mind, and finally the scene where Qiuxiang was engraved to plead for Qiuyue before being submerged in the sea was frozen.Anyway, Qiuxiang was really kind. At that moment, she didn't know that she could still live.Maybe she didn't do well in some places, but she was just a little girl who hadn't experienced wind and rain.But now, this little girl is her younger sister, the younger sister who never made any mistakes before meeting Tang Bohu.
Su Xueyun took a deep breath, and showed a faint smile, "My name is Qiuyue, why don't we go to the teahouse to talk, and don't block others on the street, what do you think?"
Qiuxiang subconsciously looked at her good sister Pomegranate, and Pomegranate came back to her senses, and looked at Su Xueyun vigilantly next to Qiuxiang, "You, who are you? What if you come up with some bad ideas? If you have something to say, let me know." Say it here."
Su Xueyun smiled slightly, "There are so many people in the teahouse, what bad idea can I have? Besides, the number of people is as large as yours, isn't it?"
Shiliu looked back at the maids, wondering if she should refute.At this time Qiuxiang had calmed down, she looked at Su Xueyun and said, "Okay, let's go to the teahouse to talk, I also want to know why...why we look exactly the same."
Shi Liu hurriedly said: "Then go to the restaurant we often go to. The big box on the second floor is just right for everyone to enter."
Su Xueyun had no objection, and followed them to the restaurant, and the others followed quietly.Zhu Xiaolian walked up to Chen Xiaosheng, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do sister-in-law want to tell them?"
Wen Zhengming and others also looked at Chen Xiaosheng.Chen Xiaosheng smiled lightly: "You will know later, what's the hurry?"
In fact, at this time, everyone already had some guesses in their hearts, but they couldn't believe it. After all, it is really too rare for twins to reunite after being separated for more than ten years.So when everyone was sitting in the private room in the restaurant, all their eyes fell on Su Xueyun, waiting for her to speak.
Su Xueyun poured a cup of tea and said, "Qiuxiang, we are twin sisters. My father told me that I had a younger sister when he died of a serious illness. I was adopted by others. I haven't had the chance to look for my younger sister all these years until I met you today." She said to Qiuxiang Smiling, "Because we are sisters, we look exactly alike."
Qiuxiang said with some excitement: "I was bought back by the Grand Master's Mansion when I was three years old. I thought I had no family anymore. I didn't expect... I didn't expect... I have an older sister, older sister..."
Su Xueyun smiled faintly: "I didn't expect to meet you so early, I just arrived in the capital."
Shiliu said: "I heard that twins have a close heart. You met Qiuxiang when you first arrived in the capital, which means that your sisters are destined!"
Qiuxiang nodded and smiled: "Yes, sister, it must be my father who is protecting us in heaven. By the way, did the person who adopted you come to the capital? He raised you, so I should thank him."
Su Xueyun said: "No need, I will tell you about him later. Qiuxiang, judging by your attire, you should have a good life in the Grand Master's Mansion, but you are still a maid and have no freedom. Now our sisters meet again , why don't you redeem your body for your sister, how do you live with your sister?"
Qiu Xiang froze for a moment, hesitated, "Sister, I really want to live with you, but... the grand master and wife are very kind to me, they treat me like a family member, it seems very bad if I leave suddenly. "
Shiliu patted her hand and persuaded: "Qiuxiang, if you can find your relatives, I believe the grand master and wife will be happy for you. If you have the opportunity to live with your relatives, of course you must live with them!"
Qiuxiang glanced at her, and then at Su Xueyun, looking a little embarrassed.Su Xueyun smiled, and took out a 1000 tael silver ticket and handed it to her, "You don't have to make a decision so quickly, you put this silver ticket away, and hand it over to the Grand Master and Madam when you decide to redeem yourself, if you don't want to When you leave the Grand Master's Mansion, just buy something you like."
Qiuxiang was taken aback, and quickly waved her hands, "No, I can't ask for your bank note, sister, I can't accept it. I can take the money for the redemption myself, you can keep it."
Su Xueyun put the banknote into her hand, and said with a smile: "I haven't been able to take care of you for so many years, so let's take it as a little favor from my sister, be good, take it well."
Qiuxiang hesitated holding the banknote, put it in her purse carefully, and said, "Thank you, sister."
All the girls were shocked by Su Xueyun's generosity. They only collected more than 300 taels of silver with so many maids, and Xia Xiang stole it.Now Su Xueyun gave Qiuxiang 1000 taels as soon as she made a move. If it were them, they would definitely redeem themselves without saying a word.For a moment, all the maids wished that they had a sister like Su Xueyun, and some of the unknown ones had already started to imagine the scene of reuniting with their families in the future.
Su Xueyun turned her head to look at Chen Xiaosheng, and said to Qiuxiang, "Let me introduce you, this is my uncle Zhu Zhishan."
Qiuxiang quickly stood up, nodded nervously and said hello, "Sister...brother-in-law."
Chen Xiaosheng came over, stood beside Su Xueyun and said with a smile: "You don't need to be so polite, just sit down." He turned around and pointed at Tang Bohu and the others with his fan, and said, "These three are my friends. We just came from Suzhou. Participating in this year's Enke, so the matter of stealing money is really a misunderstanding and has nothing to do with us."
Qiuxiang said with some embarrassment: "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, because the lost money is the hard-earned money of so many sisters, so we are so anxious. If there is something wronged just now, I hope brother-in-law and the young masters can forgive us."
Qiuxiang blessed Tang Bohu and the others, Tang Bohu stared at her and blurted out: "It's different...it's really different... Qiuyue has always been a chivalrous woman in the world, but Qiuxiang girl is like a lady of everyone, her movements and movements are really... "
"Tang Bohu, no one wants to listen to you!" Su Xueyun slapped the table, her gaze fell on Tang Bohu like a knife.
Tang Bohu choked on his chest, but he didn't dare to speak again, and was pulled aside by Wen Zhengming.Su Xueyun called Zhu Xiaolian to her side, and said with a smile: "Qiuxiang, this is my husband's sister, you can hang out together when you are free."
Qiuxiang smiled and said, "Okay, sister Xiaolian, I will take you wherever you like."
Su Xueyun looked at Lu Zhaorong again, and introduced: "Qiuxiang, this is Young Mistress Tang, Tang Bohu's wife."
There was a moment of silence in the box. Tang Bohu and Lu Zhaorong didn't expect her to introduce it like this, but after thinking about it, they felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and they couldn't even refute it.Tang Bohu looked at Qiuxiang, clenched the fan in his hand, and took a step forward to deny it.Su Xueyun didn't give him this chance, and directly took Qiuxiang's hand and said: "It was just a misunderstanding, and it's fine if you tell me. If you need sister's help, just say it. Although we have just arrived in the capital, we can't catch a thief." It may not be impossible."
Wen Zhengming said: "That's right, Miss Qiuxiang, it's understandable for you to rush to catch the thief after losing the money. Since you are Qiuyue's sister, don't make friends with us. Why don't you tell me how you lost the money? We can help you." Let's find it together."
Qiu Xiang looked at Xia Xiang and sighed, "The money of our Qunfang Club is all put in a small box. Today, some sisters suspected that I was guarding myself, so I opened the small box for everyone to see. Who knew there was a small box inside? Empty! Later, I used a trick to find out that Xia Xiang had stolen the money. She said she was cheated by a stinky man, so of course we can’t just pretend that nothing happened, so I wanted to go to that stinky man to get the money back. But Xia Xiang refused to say anything, she only said that he was a man with a fat head and big ears and wretched eyes." She said a little embarrassedly, "At that time, I saw that some young masters looked at me very strangely, so I misunderstood it. Turns out they only looked at me because my sister and I looked alike, what a faux pas."
Su Xueyun looked at Xia Xiang and said: "You couldn't find that man because Xia Xiang was lying. When a person is lying, he dare not look at others. I think if you want to know the truth, you should report her. The Grand Master is the one."
Xia Xiang's eyes widened, and she ran over and grabbed Qiu Xiang's sleeve and begged, "Qiu Xiang! Qiu Xiang doesn't want it. If the grand master's wife finds out that I stole something, she will definitely drive me out of the grand master's mansion. I'm not like you I am so lucky to have twin sisters, I will have nothing when I leave the Grand Master’s Mansion, I will starve to death, please don’t tell the Grand Master’s wife.”
Qiu Xiang couldn't bear it, and said: "There should be other ways, we are all sisters, I believe Xia Xiang will not be so confused in the future."
Shiliu snorted coldly, "Thousands of mistakes are the fault of that stinky man, Xia Xiang, you don't want us to sue the grand teacher's wife, you can tell the man's name, as long as you can get the money back."
Xia Xiang faltered again and refused to say anything. The other maids surrounded her and asked Qiu Xiang to give them an explanation. Since she became the president of the Qunfang Club, she couldn't cover up a thief who stole the club money!Qiuxiang looked at Xia Xiang in embarrassment, touched her purse, and said to Su Xueyun: "Sister, can I use the bank note you gave me to put the money first? This way we will have time to find the person who cheated Xia Xiang gone."
Su Xueyun smiled, "I gave you the silver ticket, and you can use it however you want. But, Qiuxiang, what if there is no man who lied to her? Or is the man who lied to her in Hua Taishi's mansion? If If she has an accomplice in the Grand Master's Mansion, it will be detrimental to the Grand Master's Mansion if she doesn't find out, and everyone can't feel at ease."
Qiuxiang said helplessly: "Sister, you are right, but Xia Xiang has been refusing to say it."
"Then let's try to find clues." Chen Xiaosheng picked up the small silver box and smelled it, and said, "There is a very faint smell of bird's nest and shark's fin in it, it should be that someone has taken bird's nest and shark's fin or something like that." , and then touched the money here without cleaning your hands."
Qiuxiang and Shiliu looked at each other and said that one of them was serving by his wife's side, and the other was cooking in the kitchen. They usually like to be clean, and there is no smell on their hands.Now everyone looked at Xia Xiang again, Shi Liu frowned and thought about it, then suddenly said: "How can a maid have a chance to touch the bird's nest and shark's fin? Xia Xiang, did you come into my kitchen? You stole the bird's nest and shark's fin?"
Xia Xiang took two steps back guiltily, waved her hands again and again in denial, "No, I didn't, trust me."
Shiliu glared at her and said angrily, "Oh! You dare not look me in the eyes, you are lying! Qiuxiang, let's go back and have a look. If she stole something from the kitchen, we must not let her go. If you can steal something today, Who knows if she will poison the kitchen tomorrow? That is related to the safety of the Grand Master's Mansion!"
Qiuxiang also paid attention to it, and said to everyone: "I will definitely investigate this matter, and I will give you an explanation in three days. I hope everyone can be patient."
Seeing what happened to them, all the maids hesitated and nodded in agreement, but they all said: "Sister Qiuxiang, you must check it out in three days, we have saved all the money so hard."
Qiuxiang repeatedly promised to do it, and all the maids left one after another.Shi Liu grabbed Xia Xiang and said, "You'd better not steal something, or you'll be better off!"
Chunxiang and Dongxiang also scolded her angrily, Xiaxiang naturally begged for mercy again, but when they turned around angrily, she secretly gave Su Xueyun a look.
