The history of violent growth in the Spring of the Red Chamber

Yingchun was trembling with anger in the upper seat, and the chess player beside him was also very angry.

It turned out that after Yingchun arranged their respective jobs, the maids and maids began to get busy in an orderly manner. However, when the lady in charge of the boxes of wedding supplies and bridal chamber supplies was counting the number of supplies, she immediately lost her number. It turns out that according to the customs of newlyweds, in the bridal chambers of the bride and groom, all the utensils must be in pairs, such as two candles, two pairs of chopsticks, a pair of bowls, a pair of silver spoons... But no I once thought that when I counted the utensils, there was only one pair of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang descendants bowls left.

The pair of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang grandchildren bowls was originally made by the old lady who was considerate of her grandson's feelings. She specially invited craftsmen from Ouchi to make them according to the internal style. The current one is no different from the previous one. As long as some rules are not out of the ordinary, they are considered internal. The style can also be used by people and ministers. The craftsmen invited by the old lady have been enshrined in the court for many years. Therefore, this pair of bowls is extremely exquisite. Not only the dragon and phoenix carvings on the top are made of gold thread The embroidered edges and even the inside of the bowls are pasted with a layer of gold leaf, which was burnt and melted with real gold, and then filled with glue. Therefore, this pair of bowls should be placed in the most conspicuous position in the bridal chamber .

"Ma'am, can I use another pair of bowls instead?"

Mrs. Xing was about to cry, and said again and again

"No, no, no, the wives and wives of the Wang family also looked at the pair of bowls. They only recognized the pair of laoshizi and ignored everything else. Although they are just a pair of bowls, they are made from within after all. They are very special. Extraordinary."

As soon as Mrs. Xing said, Yingchun felt dizzy. There were not many maids and women who came and went during the day, at least hundreds of them. Steal it, can you take it now?In addition, even if it is taken, it may be hidden in some corner, and if the time comes to refuse to admit it, who knows what will happen?

Yingchun frowned and asked the woman in charge

"Who got near those boxes today?"

The woman in charge stepped forward and replied,

"The mother-in-law doesn't know about the people coming and going these days. It's just that after the box was delivered, the eldest lady didn't open the seal until this morning. I asked Chunming to take care of the box first."

That girl, who was about twelve or thirteen years old, was scared out of her wits when she saw such a big event. When she saw Yingchun, she just fell to her knees with a plop, screaming for grievances.

"I beg the girl to make the decision. Mama Wu asked the little one to stand there and look at the box. The little one didn't dare to slack off and kept staring at the box. Later, Mama Wu and Sister Chunyan said that the curtains in the bridal chamber had not been covered. I went over to help, and I said I was looking at the box, and sister Chunyan said, "The box doesn't have long legs, so I won't run away if I stay there." Then she dragged me and ran away."

"Who is Chunyan?"

Yingchun didn't spend much time with Mrs. Xing, so the maids here were not very familiar with her. On the contrary, Siqi was still active in the big house, so she said

"Chunyan was originally serving in the old man's house, but later that Liu Lu became pregnant, so she was assigned to Liu Lu."

When Mrs. Xing heard that it was in the Willow Green House, she got very angry and said:

"What about Chunyan? Let her come up."

When that Chunyan heard Mrs. Xing calling her, she was still a little trembling, but seeing that the matter had come to this point, she bravely walked up, she lowered her head

"Mrs."

Mrs. Xing let out an annoyed 'hum', then seeing Mrs. Xing, Yingchun couldn't ask any questions, so she said

"Let me ask you, who are the guards of the new house?"

Chunyan moved her lips, and finally said

"There is Mama Wu, and the two of us."

"Why are there only the two of you? Besides, the new house has already been tidied up, and there are nurses and maids from the Wang family guarding it. Why is it just the two of you today?"

According to the custom, the dowry of the girl from the Wang family is delivered a few days in advance. The mother-in-law handed over, leaving one more woman, and the rest went back to the bride's house.

"Mother Wang of the Wang family was taken to rest in a separate room by the leader early this morning, and it was only Mum Wu and I who guarded the new house."

"Why did you pull Chunming away later?"

Chunyan kept her mouth shut and didn't speak, she seemed to know something, but she didn't dare to say it, Yingchun was just not in a hurry, but Madam Xing was in a hurry, seeing Chunyan's sneaky look, she immediately shouted

"It seems that you stole it. Come on, today is an auspicious day, and it is not suitable to see blood. After two days, she was sold out together with her and her mother."

Chunyan was startled, and immediately knelt down, crying

"Madam, please forgive me. Madam Wu is wronged. I was guarding the new house with Madam Wu, but Aunt Liu said that the curtains in the new house were a bit dirty, which made others see the joke, so she asked Mama Wu and me to call two more people. Clean up the curtains. The maidservants didn't want to go at first, but Aunt Liu insisted that we go, and said: "Now I'm just delusional, and I'm not afraid that my wife will slap her." We have no choice but to go together Go outside and call someone."

Later, I brought Chunming and a few little girls over, and Aunt Liu asked us to clean the curtain carefully. After we cleaned, Aunt Liu left, and we each went to receive errands.

Yingchun was calm on the surface, but she had already scolded in her stomach

"Damn it, I crossed over to the Red Mansion, right? Is it the Red Mansion? Isn't it 'Detective Conan' or 'Kindaichi Boy's Notebook'? Your sister's, your sister's..."

When Mrs. Xing heard that Aunt Liu was involved, she lost her mind. She just looked at Yingchun, and Yingchun looked at Mrs. Xing, knowing that she didn't pay attention, and she didn't want to provoke Aunt Liu. The child is in Mrs. Xing's name, so there is no need to know her well.

Yingchun thought about it and said,

"Ma'am, today is a day of great joy. If something like this happens, it must be a family thief. Otherwise, Chunyan, Chunming, and a group of people will be circled first, and they will be released after today. What's more, the pair of Jin The bowl, anyone who gets their hands dirty, will show gold in less than an hour. If you don't use ink to scrub, it will not be wiped off at all. We will clean up the ink and other things used by men now. Wake up, see maids and wives expose each other, whoever exposes will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and whoever shelters will be sold by the whole family, if anyone shows gold in their hands, then it must be a bowl thief, and you may not be able to catch it by then?"

Mrs. Xing wanted to say something else, but Yingchun just gave her a wink, so Mrs. Xing didn't speak, Yingchun immediately stood up and said loudly

"After stealing the thief, within half an hour, your hands will be stained with gold powder, which cannot be wiped off without ink. Now, everyone exposes it individually. If anyone finds that there is gold in his hand, the whistleblower will reward one hundred silver. Those who cover up, the whole family will be sold, and those who cover up will be rewarded with two hundred silver."

When everyone heard this, they were taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked at their own hands, and then heard Yingchun saying that there would be a reward for receiving the launch, and that the whole family of the shelter would sell it, and then began to look at other people's hands.

Mother Wu and Chunming both began to look at their hands, each of them, only Chunyan hid her hands behind her back.

Yingchun pretended she didn't see it, and ordered everyone to start working. Mama Wu, Chunming, and Chunyan were all taken to the small firewood room and locked up.
