Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 128 The hairpin is missing (second update)
Ever since seeing the plum blossom hairpin that day, the Jin family has been restless all day long. Recently, Xu Zhengping's visits to Prince Jane's mansion have also decreased. She couldn't find anyone to discuss with her, so she became more and more worried.Finally found a day when there were few people, and came to visit Ling Bo.

Ling Bo's diet has been a little irregular since the beginning of malaise. When Jin Shi came over, she had just eaten a bowl of rice porridge, which hadn't been removed from the table.

"Why is Aunt Jin here? It's such a hot day."

Sitting under the guidance of the embroidered book, Mrs. Jin shook her fan and said with a smile: "No, this year's autumn tiger is really fierce. Seeing that it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still so hot. I think back when I was Huaiyun sister. It's also summer, I'm most afraid of heat, and love to sweat, thinking you are the same, so I came to see you."

Xiu Shu took a fan from the shelf and fanned Ling Bo with Rui Dong, and replied after hearing the words: "That's right, since we Shao Fujin got pregnant, we are more afraid of the heat than usual, and this yard is already hotter than other places It’s getting cooler, but I still sweat a lot.”

Ling Bo was only wearing light green single clothes and trousers. Compared with others, he was much thinner, but his skin was red.

"I saw that sour plum soup is often made in the house, and I took ice from the ice cellar to store it, but I couldn't eat it myself, so I was jealous." Ling Bo complained.

Jin smiled and said: "It should be so, it's less than three months now, you must hold back, but you must not be careless."

Ling Bo nodded, this was her first child, so she was naturally very careful.

Jin then shared some of her pregnancy experiences with Ling Bo.

Since being scolded by her father-in-law, Guo Jiashi, the serious mother-in-law, has shrunk into her shell like a tortoise and doesn't like to move around; Afraid that Guo Jiashi would be suspected, he didn't dare to be too intimate with her.

Ling Bo wished that someone could teach her about it. It is rare that the Jin family is also pregnant in Xia Tian, ​​so naturally they have a lot of common language.

For a while, the two of them talked several times, but slowly, Ling Bo's thoughts became dull again, and his eyelids began to droop.

Xiushu whispered: "Shao Fujin is sleepy again."

Mrs. Jin called Ling Bo twice, and it took a while for Ling Bo to show her kindness, then nodded and said: "I'm sleepy, help me to sleep for a while."

Xiu Shu and Rui Dong helped Ling Bo and went into the inner room.

The bed was covered with a rattan mat. After they placed Ling Bo on the bed, they pulled a thin quilt over her stomach, and fanned her one by one at the head and the other.

Mrs. Jin followed into the inner room, saw that Ling Bo was asleep, and his neck seemed to be sweating a little, so he pulled the embroidered book and whispered: "Let me tell the girl, you go to the kitchen and ask for some more for their ice cellar." Here are the ice cubes, put them in two basins, put them in this room, and fan them to make it much cooler.”

Xiu Shu was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Thank you, Auntie, I will go now."

She put down her fan and asked Rui Dong to take care of her, then hurried out and took two little girls to fetch ice.

Rui Dong smiled at Jin Shi, and continued to play the fan.

Jin said: "I'll help." As he spoke, he also fanned Ling Bo.

Rui Dong panicked, "How dare you do that."

"What's the matter, Shaofujin is the treasure of our house now, but with Fujin and side Fujin here, even if I want to help, I can't intervene. Now the girl who embroiders books is going to fetch ice cubes, and I will help with the fan What's the matter."

Ruidong's face suddenly showed gratitude.

Jin looked at the bed and said: "Oh, Shaofujin is still sweating, Miss Ruidong should go get a basin of water to wipe her off, so don't get prickly heat."

"But……"

Jin laughed: "It's only a few steps away from fetching a basin of water, even if your young Fujin wakes up, wouldn't I still be here?"

Ruidong nodded, thanked her again, put down her fan, and went out to fetch water.

Seeing her lift the curtain, Jin turned around and took a step towards the bed, calling Ling Bo softly.

Ling Bo fell into a deep sleep, so drowsy that he couldn't hear, and only babbled.

Kim became bold.

She had thought about it a long time ago. Generally speaking, things like hairpins are mostly placed on the dressing table. At this time, there was no one in the room, so she quietly opened the boxes and drawers on the dressing table.

Not long after, he found out the plum blossom hairpin inlaid with jade and agate from a jewelry box, confirmed that it was the one he had lost, and quickly put it into the sleeve.

Just after finishing this action, the curtain of the outer room slammed, and she immediately returned to her original seat, fanning vigorously.

Rui Dong came in with a water basin, smiled at Jin Shi, twisted the handkerchief, and wiped Ling Bo's neck, ears, arms, etc.

After a while, Xiushu also came back with two little girls and two basins of ice cubes.

Jin Shi saw that they were all busy, but they were orderly and orderly, without making any noise, so she secretly said hello.

"Since Shaofujin has already fallen asleep, I will take my leave."

Xiushu hurriedly said: "I'll take my aunt out."

"No, no, you guys are busy, ah, take care of yourself." Jin hurriedly declined, and Shi Shi ran out the door, shaking her fan.

There was a big sun in the sky, scorching the earth, and the sound of cicadas chirping, and there was no one in the garden, which seemed lifeless.

Jin walked by the pool alone, looked left and right as he walked, passed by the edge of the rockery, covered by trees, shook his hand, and threw something into the water.

There was a thud on the surface of the water, a bubble appeared, and then silence returned.

Jin looked around to confirm that no one saw her small movements, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that the bones of her whole body were lightened by four taels, and the sun on her head did not even feel poisonous, and she shook her hands three times a step at a time. out of the garden.

After passing the Moon Gate, a maid in front passed by, Jin recognized it as the second-class maid in Guo Jia's house, and hurriedly stopped her.

"What is Aunt Jin's order?"

Jin smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's been very hot recently, I don't know if Fujin's body is in trouble?"

The servant girl said: "It was fine the past two days, but today it seems to be a bit sleepy. I wonder if I have suffered from heatstroke. I just took the heat-dispelling pills. If it is still not good at night, I will have to invite Dr. Xu to have a look at it tomorrow. "

"Really, the girl should hurry back and serve her."

The maid gave Jin Shi a blessing and left.

After Jin got the information he wanted, he didn't stay any longer and went straight back to his yard.

Ling Bo woke up after sleeping for more than half an hour, only to feel that the room was much cooler than usual, and he slept extremely peacefully this time.

"Thanks to Aunt Jin's good idea, I let the servants bring ice cubes."

Ling Bo saw that there was indeed a bit of ice left in the two basins, nodded and said: "This method is good, but is there so much ice in our house?"

Xiushu laughed and said, "The maidservant asked, two basins of ice per day can still be supplied."

Ling Bo nodded, and asked again: "How long has Aunt Jin been gone?"

"The master slept for a while, and the servant went to fetch ice cubes. After the servant came back, Aunt Jin left."

Rui Dong said: "I didn't have any friendship in the past, but now it seems that Aunt Jin is not bad. When the slaves went to fetch water, they even helped the master fan."

Ling Bo laughed and said, "It's her duty to see her guarding Sister Yun's life on weekdays."

Both girls agreed.

Ling Bo thought for a while, and asked Xiushu to fetch a bolt of high-quality yarn, and sent it to Mrs. Jin, saying it was for Sister Yun's tailoring.

Jin didn't expect that he went there with ulterior motives, and got a good deal, so he naturally accepted it gratefully, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart.But thinking about such a life-threatening event, I have no choice but to do it.Not for adults, but for Sister Yun's sake, that matter cannot be exposed.

Silent all night.

……

On the second day, Lingbo got up unexpectedly early, and there were many clouds in the sky, which covered the sun, and it was much cooler than yesterday.

After washing, Ruidong combed her hair.

After getting sick, Ling Bo didn't go out very much, and he didn't like to dress up too much. His hair was often tied loosely in a bun, and the rest of it was braided.

Ruidong knew her preferences, so today she also wore her hair in a simple style, and found a golden ring after tying up her hair.

"Huh? Why does the slave feel like something is missing?"

Ling Bo glanced in the mirror and said, "It's pretty good, that's it, you don't need to wear anything else."

"The servant girl didn't say that there was something missing from the master's bun, but this jewelry box." Ruidong said holding up a jewelry box, from which she took out the gold ring just now.

Xiu Shu heard the words and came over: "Let me see, what's missing."

She took the box and scanned it casually, then said in surprise: "There is really one thing missing."

"what?"

"It's the plum blossom hairpin with emerald and agate inlaid."

"Huh?" Ling Bo woke up.

If it was other jewelry, she might not have an impression, but she remembered the hairpin mentioned in the embroidery book very clearly.Because this hairpin is not hers, and she has never worn it. It was taken from Xia Ziyu last time by Akdon. forgotten.

"Maybe it's in another box or drawer, look for it quickly."

Xiu Shu frowned and said: "This servant remembers it very clearly, it has been kept in this box."

Although she said so, she has already searched with Ruidong.

I searched all over the dressing table but couldn't find it.

This time, Ling Bo became more cautious.

Xiushu and Ruidong have always acted prudently and would never throw things away, and she also remembered very clearly that the last time Delong took the hairpin out was the day when Delong began to recover.

At that time, she fell on the ground, and An Zhuxian helped her pick it up.When she returned to the house that day, she put the hairpin back into the jewelry box.

According to the embroidery book, the hairpin has never been touched since then.

"Do you remember when was the last time you saw this hairpin?"

Rui Dong frowned.

The embroidered book is also in doubt: "Ruidong has been combing the master's hair for the past few days, and the servant has never taken care of this jewelry box."

She and Ling Bo looked at Rui Dong together.

Rui Dong blushed and said: "Master doesn't wear any jewelry these days, and the slaves didn't pay attention to it, only today did they realize that the hairpin is missing."

This hairpin is not very expensive, and it is not a big loss if it is lost, but the nature of this matter is extraordinary.

Since the hairpin has not been touched since it came back and disappeared for no reason, could it be that some girl stole it with dirty hands and feet?

Stealing has always been a big taboo in the inner house, Ling Bo immediately felt that this matter must be taken seriously.

(There is good news, there are three updates in total today, and there will be another update later)
