"Fubai's mother was the personal maid of the eldest lady at the beginning, and she grew up with the eldest lady since she was a child, and her good relationship is like a sister.You should know that there are maids with heads and faces in this palace, and there are also those who are released to marry lower-ranking officials.This Fubai's mother, at that time fell in love with a poor student surnamed Liu, that Liu student was originally a person, Fubai Niang married in the second year, that Liu student went to Beijing to catch the exam, and won the Jinshi, and then released for three years, he was transferred back to Beijing to be a Beijing official. ”Chu Sanye stopped when he said this, he smoothed his beard and showed a smile on his face: "In this way, this Fubai is still an official lady, but she actually returned to the eldest lady to be a maid, it's really ......"
"Dad, you haven't said when Fubai saved the eldest lady's life?"
”Chu Heng urged.Chu San nodded, and continued: "About six years ago, the whole family of the Liu family went back to Fujicheng to visit relatives, and then went to the Fujiwang Mansion to visit the eldest lady, the eldest lady suffered from insomnia and chest tightness for a while, and she was in a trance during the day, when she was visiting the garden with Fubai's family, a stone on the rockery rolled down, and when she was about to hit the eldest lady, Fubai pushed the eldest lady, and the stone did not touch the eldest lady in the end, but smashed Fubai's own leg, which saved the eldest lady's life. ”"And then?""
Later, Fubai stayed in the palace to recuperate, and when she was recuperating, Fubai learned that the eldest lady had insomnia every night, so she prepared a soothing incense for the eldest lady, and the incense really cured the eldest lady's insomnia."
Chu San scratched his head, and there was a hint of admiration in his tone: "I heard that the craftsmanship of Fubai fragrance is obtained from the master of the Beijing Middle School Girls' School, which is very amazing." ”"But at that time, Fubai was only eleven years old."
Chu Heng frowned: "An eleven-year-old girl, saving people under the rockery, and mixing incense to cure insomnia that doctors can't cure, doesn't Dad think it's strange?"
”"Strange is strange, but it happened so real, I have to say that Fubai is a strange woman."
A touch of appreciation appeared on Chu San's face: "King Teng lives in the capital all the year round, and the eldest lady is in charge of the Tengwang Mansion inside and outside, Fu Bai can be regarded as the right hand of the eldest lady, and many things in this mansion have relied on her over the years." ”"Fu Bai seems to be very trusted by the eldest lady."
Chu Heng's face was full of doubts: "But I always feel that Fubai is a little weird." ”Chu San patted Chu Heng on the shoulder: "Dad grew up in the Tengwang Mansion since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of people, not to mention anything else, Fubai is both smart and loyal, but it is rare, don't doubt her." ”Chu Heng nodded silently."
This time everyone thinks that the heavenly fire in the Buddhist hall is a natural disaster, but my father thinks that this must be man-made, think about it, after the heavenly fire, the eldest lady and the prince quickly closed the door of the mansion, and also gave a silencing order to the subordinates, how could people outside the mansion immediately know about the heavenly fire?"
Chu Sanye smoothed his beard and narrowed his eyes: "It's just that whoever set the fire can be so realistic and deceive countless pairs of eyes......"
Chu Sanye paused again and added: "It's just this person, it can't be Fubai." ”Chu Heng lowered his head slightly, with a far-fetched smile on his face."
But I owe a debt of thanks to the arsonist."
A wry smile appeared on Chu San's face: "If it weren't for this fire, I'm afraid that the eldest lady would have to continue to spread her anger on her father, and I'm afraid that my father's old life may not be able to be saved." ”Chu Heng raised his head and looked at Chu Sanye with sparkling eyes: "Dad is laughing, you are the chief housekeeper of the Tengwang Mansion, how could Madame easily hurt Dad's life." ”"This time and that time."
Chu Sanye sighed: "After the death of the prince, the Vine King's Mansion has come to the cusp, the Vine King's Mansion has been planted with countless nails by various forces over the years, and the Vine King's Mansion is about to be nailed into a sieve, and the eldest lady will inevitably have radical actions under heavy pressure, let's just say that those maids who died in Qingyan Pavilion in vain, you see that the eldest lady He Cheng did this kind of careless thing in the past......"
Speaking of the dead maids in Qingyan Pavilion, Chu Heng sighed.Seeing that Chu Heng was sad, Third Master Chu was a little in a hurry: "Girl, it's not good for my father, my father picked you up back then, and he should have raised you outside the mansion, this one is a slave in the house, and life and death are not his own......"
"Don't say that, Dad." ”Chu Heng blinked, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and showed a smile at Chu San: "If it wasn't for my father to save me back then, now Heng'er has become a piece of loess in a mass grave, and my father sent me into the house because he was worried that it would not be safe for me to live alone as a girl, Heng'er understands." ”Chu San sighed, his eyes were sour, and he didn't know what to say for a while.Chu Heng hurriedly tugged on Chu Sanye's sleeve and changed the topic: "The eldest lady handed over the matter of suppressing the rumors of the heavenly fire warning to me, Dad, you have to help me." ”Chu Sanye pulled the corners of his mouth, and reluctantly smiled: "You say, how to help, dad will do it." ”Chu Heng pulled Chu Sanye and muttered for a while, and the two went out of the house together to find a stonemason workshop, and had another meal in the restaurant in the afternoon, until it was dark, and the two returned to the Fujiwang Mansion.Chu Sanye went back to the upside-down room where he lived, and Chu Heng went back to Qingyan Pavilion.Because there is no master living in the Qingyan Pavilion, so at night, the Qingyan Pavilion only has a light like a bean under the corridor of the main courtyard, the whole courtyard is dark and dark, and the shadows of the trees are hideous like night demons.Chu Heng stepped into the courtyard, the courtyard was surprisingly quiet, and the only sound was the click of Chu Heng's own shoes falling on the stone floor.Chu Heng passed by the study, passed by the master bedroom, and finally returned to the back cover room where he lived, and pushed open the door of the back cover room in the silence of the courtyard.There was no one, Chu Heng turned out of the back cover room and ran to the front yard, and the entire Qingyan Pavilion was empty.The night breeze was like water, blowing through Chu Heng's bare skin in the air, a shivering sensation hit his whole body, Chu Heng turned her head and ran back to the back room, she closed the door, looked left and right, and finally lifted the wooden plank of the kang tip, revealing the place the size of a person below, hid herself in, and moved the wooden board from the inside.The space under the kang tip was small and cramped, Chu Heng tried his best to adjust his body into a comfortable position, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.About the middle of the night, she was awakened by the sound of the door opening.Chu Heng listened attentively, first there was a creak of opening the door, followed by almost inaudible footsteps, then the sound of a blade knocking on the kang, and then the sound quickly disappeared, and the door creaked again, but it was someone who went out.Chu Heng's heart almost jumped out of her throat, because she was nervous and afraid, a thin layer of sweat appeared in her palms, which was very slippery, Chu Heng subconsciously wanted to rub her hands on her clothes, but as soon as her hand moved, there was a sharp pain in her fingertips, but her fingertips poked into a hairpin.Chu Heng fumbled to pick up the hairpin, because there was no light in this small space, Chu Heng could only identify the hairpin by touching.After only touching it twice, Chu Heng almost cried.The hairpin is the most primitive wooden hairpin, and this magpie is engraved with a peony flower.This hairpin was given to Yinzhu by Chu Heng, I still remember the night when Yinzhu died, Chu Heng left the house to fetch water for Yinzhu, and it was this hairpin that Yinzhu was wearing on his head at that time, and the next day, when Chu Heng buried Yinzhu's body in a mass grave, this hairpin was not worn on Yinzhu's head.This hairpin is now here, which means that the silver bead was originally hidden in the space at the bottom of the pit that night, but Chu Heng didn't understand, since the silver bead had been hidden, why did she run out to die?
