她依照的意思，取闺房中现成的红染料浸出水，趁人看不见打进泥土中，芙蓉树吸了，汁液中便流着红色，又从断口中溢出来。

洛月在做这事时，只认为恐吓恐吓那些敢挖树的人，没想到会惊动到老太太，闹得这么大。

老太太看过了那些“血泪”，甚至闻了闻，问嘉颜：“留了么？”嘉颜道：“留了一份，送到外面验了。

”老太太道：“快把树请回土里去，好生照料着。

”大家应着。

老太太进宝音屋里来。

宝音倚在床边，长发在颈后以丝巾束住，简短柔婉，纤细双肩披袭浅色长衣，见老太太进来，忙叫乐韵扶她行礼。

老太太叫止了。

嘉颜不听，在地上行了大礼，挨次对大太太二太太也见礼毕，哭泣：“惊动这么多尊长，毓笙心下惭愧死了。

”第二十四章芙蓉泣血移宝屋（ 2）“糊涂孩子，”老太太看着乐韵把扶回床上坐着，“那树有异样，又关你什么事？”宝音道：“老是毓笙院子里出的事”老太太听宝音说话，不带咳喘，气味撑得下来，虽还娇弱，遣辞行句倒比以前还得体了些，再认真看她脸上，气色也见好些，眸光温润内敛，更非以前那恹恹抱恙的眼光，不由诧异道：“笙儿，你身体见好？”宝音答道：“多托外婆的福，多亏大舅母、二舅母关怀照顾，自从用了于医生新药以后，笙儿自己感觉是一每日爽利起来。

”老太太又问：“昨天夜晚，可惊着你了不成？”宝音便有些狐疑：“笙儿一早起来，听丫头们讲说，子夜有什么声音还觉奇异呢，怎么笙儿仿佛没听着什么。

”老太太便问丫头：“昨晚你们听见什么？”乐韵对答如流：“是听见怪声，像有人哭，婢子惊醒回来，看姑娘睡得熟熟的，不敢惊动。
