Forty-two, two ladies 1
New Year's New Weather, Eleven Niang because of her filial piety, the summer garden where she lives is just a simple poster, thirty night, after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the whole family, she has been hiding in the house to practice calligraphy, rarely going out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Occasionally, Siniang would come over to talk to her.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Eleven Niang practiced calligraphy to the end of the year (11 o'clock in the morning), there was a sudden noise and crying outside, and listening to the cry seemed to be the fourth lady, Li Mama, who was a female red on the couch, saw the look of Eleven Niang, and immediately stood up and went outside to see what happened.
Mama Li went for about a quarter of an hour before she came back, and by this time Mama Zhou had already helped her put away all the paper inkstones, and she was sitting in her seat drinking tea.
"Miss-" Mama Li was a little flustered when she entered the door.
"What's going on?" Shi Niang asked worriedly, standing up.
"The Fucheng Lin family sent someone to say that the second lady hanged herself on the first day of the new year!"
"What!" Mama Zhou, who shouted this sentence, seemed to be a little incredulous, what kind of hatred did she have with her husband's family during the New Year, and what hatred should she use to hang herself to retaliate!
Hearing the news, Eleven Niang calmed down, as long as it wasn't something in the family, however, this second lady seemed to be her family, but she didn't know her, so she put down her heart.
"I heard that it was the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Aunt Lin was drunk, and only returned to the room in the early morning, and slept with the second lady, but when Aunt Lin woke up in the morning, he saw the second lady hanging in the room!"
"This second lady, why is she so confused, she is looking for death on the first day of the new year, she herself dies easily, but there are still so many younger sisters in the family to be married, which makes them talk about others in the future! This makes the Xu family look up and behave in the future!" Mama Zhou has always been calm, but this time she couldn't help but scold, and she scolded a dead person.
"Nurse, is it so serious? No matter how you say it, my sister is also dead-" Eleven Niang still wanted to say that the deceased was the greatest, but was cut off by Mama Zhou: "Die, it's not easy to die in this world! Jumping into the river can kill you completely, why should she die in front of her husband? And she chose the first day of the Lunar New Year, so she didn't want to curse her husband's family!" Mama Zhou said as she circled around the room angrily.
"I haven't finished talking yet!" Mama Li patted her thigh and said anxiously: "The people from the Lin family also said that the Lin family didn't dare to ask for such a big woman, so they wanted to send her back to the Xu family for burial! ”
"What! people who marry out are spilled water, how can their Lin family do this!" Mama Zhou said angrily.
"Now that someone is in the room, Mrs. Tai just heard the news and asked the eldest and second masters to go back to the house. "It's still the Chinese New Year, and at this time, the two masters are usually out to visit friends.
"This second lady, why is she so selfish!" Mama Zhou sat down, slapped her hand on the table and said angrily.
"Nurse, everyone is dead, don't be angry-" Eleven Niang walked over and hugged her and comforted.
Mama Zhou held the hand of Eleven Niang, and said distressedly: "The nurse is anxious for you and the fourth lady, after this incident, who dares to marry the woman in our house in the future, which family does not taboo the daughter-in-law to hang herself on the first day of the new year!"
People in these years are very superstitious, and on the first day of the new year, this happened, not to mention the Lin Mansion, even the Xu Mansion felt unlucky.
The main house of the Xu Mansion.
Mrs. Xu held a string of Buddhist beads tightly in her right hand, and her heart was angry, anxious and sad, which could be described as a mixed taste.
This second lady, at the beginning, clearly reminded her that Lin Qi eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and is not a good person, but she insists on marrying, and in order to marry him, she has caused so many scandals. Later, when she got married as she wished, why did she hang herself? When she did these things, she still didn't care about the face of her mother's family?
Thinking of this, she slapped the table heavy and asked loudly, "What about the master, why haven't you come yet?"
"Mrs. Hui, Steward Xu sent Daquan and Minglu to invite, and it is estimated that it will be almost there-"
"It's coming, it's coming, Mrs. Tai, the eldest master and the second master are back!"
"Mother, mother, my son is back!"
Seeing her eldest son come in, Mrs. Xu was angry, picked up the cup in her hand and smashed it: "The good daughter you taught!"
"Mother-" Xu Boyan hurriedly knelt down.
Angry, how can this kind of thing be a charter in the fastest time, and the Lin family can't really carry the coffin back, otherwise, the Xu Mansion will really become a joke in Shangyuan County, and even the entire Jiangning Mansion, the daughter of the Xu Mansion, if she wants to marry a good family in the future, it will be really difficult.
So Mrs. Xu discussed with her two sons for a noon, and decided to let Xu Boyan and Xu Zhongyan bring 5,000 taels of silver to the Lin family together, appease them, and let them bury the second lady as soon as possible.
After sending the two sons away, Mrs. Xu sat on the chair weakly and asked Mama Yu, "You say, did you use money to settle the Lin family this time?"
The last time the Xu family used money to get the Lin family to agree to marry the second lady into the door with three books and six ceremonies, this time, will the Lin family still agree? In other words, it was her, and her daughter-in-law died on the first day of the Lunar New Year, adding bad luck to her family, and it is estimated that she will not spare it.
Mama Yu replied in her heart: "Maybe it's okay-"
When the Xu family was worried, Ming Lu, who followed the two masters to Jiangning Mansion together, rushed back to report the news on the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, bringing back an unexpected news to Mrs. Xu.
"What did you say, the second lady didn't commit suicide?" Mrs. Xu was so shocked that she got up from her seat.
Ming Lu rushed all the way back, and after arriving at the house, he went directly to the upper room to report, and there was an obvious panting sound when he answered: "The second master arrived at Jiangning Mansion, and he didn't see the second lady's nurse Mama Wen, and asked Lin Mansion, Lin Mansion said that Mama Wen was in trouble and had been sold a long time ago, but Lin Fu refused to say where Mama Wen was sold, and the second master became suspicious, and later made a plan to rescue Mama Wen from the firewood room of Lin Mansion." ”
"As soon as Mama Wen was rescued, she told the second master about the situation that night, saying that Aunt Lin was drunk that night and kept punching and kicking the second miss, Mama Wen also wanted to save the second miss, but was pulled by other people, Aunt Lin asked someone to lock her up in the firewood room, and in the morning, I heard the people in the Lin Mansion say that the second miss hanged herself, and Mama Wen said that she kept asking the people of the Lin Mansion to release her, saying that she was going to decorate the second miss with a funeral, and the people of the Lin Mansion ignored her,"
Mama Wen said that Aunt Lin would punch and kick the second miss at every turn, and the second miss had endured it before, but now that the second miss is pregnant, it is even more impossible to commit suicide, so she suspects that the second miss did not commit suicide at all. ”
"What are you talking about, Niangniang, she's pregnant?" asked Mrs. Xu anxiously.
