Chapter 15 Red Gate Inn (15) Big Red Sedan chair
"Sir!" A female voice called out loud. Mo Chen and Ding Si looked at the visitor one after another. Chen Cen was holding a ball of white things in his hand, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and walked over quickly.
"What a handsome girl." Ding Si muttered softly.
Mo Chen took a few steps forward, pretended to be like that and asked, "What are you doing?"
Chen Cen raised the things in his hand, which were neatly folded white cloth strips. "I wanted to ask the owner for some gauze to fix Xiao Meng's ankle, but the owner didn't, so I had to ask for some cloth strips that were not available. Sir, what are you doing?" Chen Cen cooperated with the performance and looked at Ding Si and the horse behind Mo Chen. "Yeah, what a beautiful horse!" Chen Cen said, and walked two steps to the horse, and asked Ding Si, "Can I touch it?"
Ding Si smiled embarrassedly, and said with a stiff corner of his mouth, "Yes, yes!"
Chen Cen actually doesn't understand horses, and is not interested in such hard-working horses, but she is a smart girl and knows how to take advantage of her own advantages. Looking at Chen Cen's appearance as a little girl, Mo Chen couldn't help but feel funny. This girl is cold on weekdays, but she didn't expect to show such a naive smile. In terms of appearance, Chen Cen is an outstanding beauty, and she is the kind of person who wants to look and have waists.
Using the horse to admire the horse, Chen Cen actually wanted to get close to Ding Si and knock on his mouth.
"Then I'll call you fourth brother too!" Chen Cen's slightly sweet voice made Ding Si's whole body feel numb and the smile on his face couldn't help but bloom.
"By the way, Fourth Brother, I want to ask you, does Miss Xiaomei have a very bad temper?" Chen Cen said as if nothing had happened.
Ding Si replied without thinking, "No! That girl is just a little introverted and doesn't like to talk to people. Did you just get angry?"
Chen Cen waved his hand quickly, "No, when I just went to ask for gauze, Miss Xiaomei looked at me and was like seeing a monster, dodging. I thought I was wrong and offended her."
"Look, you have to be a well-educated girl! What you say is better than what we say! It's even offensive!" Ding Si smacked his lips and looked at Chen Cen with special approval. "All of them are servants who do rough work, it's not her turn to say that they are offended! Don't take it to your heart, that girl, she's a little divine recently!"
Chen Cen suddenly became interested, "Oh? What's going on, tell me!"
Ding Si looked at Mo Chen, then looked at Chen Cen, as if he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, but Chen Cen was not willing to let him go. He spoke up with the fourth brother, and it was hard for him to swear.
"The second concubine passed away not long ago. Xiaomei was responsible for cleaning up the second concubine's relics, clothes and jewelry, and other small items. Anyway, the Qian family's house is so big that it is not impossible to leave the second concubine's room. So all the things related to the second concubine were piled up in the room in front of her." Ding Si said that Mo Chen recalled that they had sneaked into the so-called "second concubine's room", and the decorations inside were indeed like piled up.
After swallowing, Ding Si suddenly lowered his voice and said, "But there is another big object, which was also something from the second concubine's life, but she couldn't stuff it into her room."
"What?" Chen Cen's expression at this moment was like a child listening to stories.
"The big red sedan chair that carried the second concubine into the mansion." Ding Si said.
Chen Cen asked, "What's the matter left for? If you dismantle it or find someone to modify it, wouldn't it be fine?"
"Not that simple!" Ding Si's expression became more and more gloomy, telling Mo Chen and the other two about the big red sedan chair.
Earlier, Mr. Qian sent someone to customize this sedan chair and carried the second concubine into the mansion with a splendid reputation. Good things have passed, so the sedan chair was useless. But the second concubine insisted on keeping it, saying that the sedan chair carried her from the drifting days to a stable life. In modern terms, it was memorable. Anyway, the Qian family was not short of the money for three melons and two dates, so Mr. Qian simply followed her, and the sedan chair was placed in the custody room by the wall of the backyard, and it took more than twenty years to be stored.
When the second concubine was alive, she ordered her servants to take care of the sedan chair from time to time, so that the sedan chair is still as bright as a new time, and is full of red and festive.
Now that the second concubine is dead, the Qian family is no longer there. Mrs. Qian of the master will not spoil the second concubine like the master, leaving behind this sedan that has caused her trouble. Just when Mrs. Qian ordered the dismantle of the sedan, strange things began again.
Anyway, it was also something that was about to be destroyed. Some of the old mothers underground had a bad idea and took a look at the red cloth on the sedan chair, wanting to keep her clothes and bedding to change her clothes and bedding in the future. So the old mother told Xiaomei, who was responsible for dismantling the decoration of the sedan chair. Xiaomei was not willing to do this kind of thing that took the owner's things for herself, but she was weak by nature and was afraid of being punished. She was so troubled that she had to bite the bullet and agreed.
Xiaomei, who was feeling uneasy in her heart, was about to take off the curtain of the sedan chair when she suddenly stretched out a pair of pale hands and pulled her into it.
"Ding Si's vivid narration suddenly reached out to Chen Cen. Chen Cen cooperated with "scared to death" and screamed, and Ding Si showed a satisfied smirk.
"Hate it!" Chen Cen said coquettishly, "Speak quickly, then what?"
Ding Si stretched his waist and said indifferently, "There is nothing. Then, when others discovered it, Xiaomei had fainted in the sedan chair. No matter how many people asked, he refused to tell what happened. But since then, Xiaomei has become more taciturn and nervous. Anyone who suddenly walked past her will scream, as if she had seen a ghost."
"And, it's boring!" Chen Cen looked disappointed, but this time he wasn't pretending. She was really disappointed. She thought Ding Si knew what Xiaomei had experienced. Even the rumors among servants were of some reference value.
"Okay! Xiao Chen, Xiao Meng is still waiting for you to get the cloth strip back, so don't bother Brother Ding and tell stories." Mo Chen said, and then said to Ding Si, "Brother Ding, you are busy with yours, so let's go back first."
Ding Si responded with a hey, but his eyes showed great reluctance. He wanted to chat with the pleasing female student in front of him for a while.
Mo Chen took Chen Cen's oil-paper umbrella, and the two walked side by side along the corridor to the inn in the front yard. On the way, Mo Chen asked Chen Cen if he had noticed any conversation with Xiaomei.
Chen Cen nodded and shook his head again. Mo Chen couldn't help but feel funny, "What? Is Xiaomei confused about talking about it?"
Chen Cen smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "No, but that girl is really weird. I always feel that she seems to know something."
