Chapter 21: Rewards and Punishments
Lin Zhixuan's mind flipped, and after a while, Qiu Ju and Gu's mother really came back, but the three of them knelt for a long time, and their legs and feet were not very neat, especially Gu's mother and Mrs. Liu, who were all forced to come over to thank Lin Zhixuan, Lin Zhixuan looked at Qiu Ju, her eyes were red, and she hurriedly took her hand and asked, "I can be wronged." ”
Qiu Ju also had tears in her eyes, shook her head and said, "No, it's all fine." ”
"Okay, that's good," Lin Zhixuan said and went to see her mother and Mrs. Liu, "It's also a burden on the two mothers, the two of them are mothers and go back to rest for a day first, this matter will be talked about tomorrow." ”
The two mothers thanked each other, and then said goodbye, and Lin Zhixuan hurriedly ordered Chun Tao Xia Lan to go and send each other off.
Lin Zhixuan kept holding Qiu Ju's hand and letting her sit on her bed, asked Dongmei to rub her knees, and instructed the little girl to pass the meal, move the smoker over to warm her body, and ordered her to boil water to bathe Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju hurriedly stopped Lin Zhixuan from letting her worry about her busy work: "Girl, Qiu Ju is fine, the second grandmother has never been embarrassed." There were many people kneeling on the second grandmother's side, but since the girl asked Sister Chun Tao to go to the second grandmother to pass the word, the second grandmother knew that I was from the girl's room, and after asking the reason for the incident, she never knelt outside again, but she was still locked in the house and was not allowed to come out, and Sister Liu Xiang also came to talk to me for a long time to comfort me, and the people in the wife and the eldest lady's room have not suffered too many grievances. Kneeling outside were inconsequential mothers-in-law drinking and gambling. It's just that Gu's mother and Liu's mother were affected by Qiu Ju, and they asked the girl to be appeased. ”
"This is natural," Lin Zhixuan was relieved when she heard this, "Since she has never embarrassed you, it seems that she is also a nine-hearted person, she understands all those truths, and she is a smart person worthy of being with." You also have to be close to Liu Xiang in the future. ”
Qiu Ju nodded.
Lin Zhixuan said: "Anyway, it's been a hard time for you, go back and sleep for a while to rest and rest, it's good to have Dongmei here." ”
Qiu Ju no longer shirked, and retreated, Lin Zhixuan felt that her body was so tired that she felt like she had fallen apart, her headache was splitting, and she fell asleep groggyly.
When it was time for dinner, Lin Zhixuan got up and ate the medicine in a hazy manner, and after instructing Dongmei to keep vigil, she fell asleep again.
That night the moonlight was hazy, Lin Zhixuan slept very unsteadily, she vaguely seemed to dream of her past life again, she woke up and returned to the night of Brother Jin'er's death in Hou Mansion, Hou Mansion was raided, as if she had come again, she took Brother Jin'er's little hand, and cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken.
Dongmei was woken up by Lin Zhixuan's intermittent whimpering, watching Lin Zhixuan's eyes closed, struggling painfully on the bed, moaning in pain for a while, and cursing through gritted teeth for a while, which frightened Dongmei's six gods, but Lin Zhixuan had a nightmare, and hurriedly gently pushed Lin Zhixuan, calling one after another: "Girl...... Wake up, girl...... Girl......"
Lin Zhixuan was finally woken up by Dongmei, her eyes suddenly widened, but she was empty, and it took a long time to slowly see Dongmei's immature face in front of her, and finally she couldn't help it, and she whimpered and cried on Dongmei's shoulder.
Dongmei was very overwhelmed, so she had to comfort gently: "Don't be afraid, girl, the girl is just having a nightmare, Dongmei is by the girl's side, don't be afraid, just wake up." ”
Lin Zhixuan's heart was inexplicably panicked, it was just a dream, and it would be good to wake up.
But in the end, is the qiē of the Hou Mansion a dream, or is the qiē in front of him a dream, and is he dreaming or waking up now?
Chen said that his mother and eldest wife Lin Yaxuan went to Lingyin Temple to do things for themselves to exorcise ghosts and pray for blessings. They say that they are haunted by ghosts, but are they haunted by ghosts now? They are haunted by their ghosts decades later, how long can they stay here? Will they be sent back to the Netherworld by them in a few decades?
Could it be that this is just the gift of God's mercy to let her come back to meet her biological parents? Could it be that tomorrow tomorrow, her remnant soul will dissipate, and she will wake up and become the ignorant fourteen-year-old Lin Zhixuan again, who can only be calculated?
Lin Zhixuan looked at the top of the bed quietly, I don't know if she has insomnia or dare not fall asleep, she suddenly thought about letting her mother come back, stop doing things, spare her life, and give her a chance to live again.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that Lin Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief as if she had survived a catastrophe, she still had too many things to do. Therefore, after having breakfast in a hurry the next day, she summoned all the maids and mothers-in-law up and down her house, and took care of her mother and Mrs. Liu.
Gu's mother, Mrs. Liu and Qiu Ju are guilty after all, and they don't dare to be self-dictated, they all kneel in the front, followed by Chun Tao Xia Lan, followed by Dongmei and six little maids, and four rough mothers-in-law who sweep and guard the door, Lin Zhixuan's nurse is also the mother in charge of the house, Mother Zhao, because her son in the countryside Zhuangzi got married two days ago, and went back on leave, and now she has not returned, so she is not here.
Lin Zhixuan looked at the people in this room, sat on the bed with pillows crookedly, and must have sent Qiu Ju and the three of them first, so she said: "There has been a lot of uproar at home these days, and you must have heard about it, because after the gate of the courtyard was locked, someone entered and exited without permission. Qiu Ju was implicated in my room, and Mother Liu from Gu's mother and the second sister were involved, and the second grandmother saw that I was injured, and she was afraid that the people who dealt with me privately would make me unhappy, so she returned them to me for disposal. ”
When everyone listened, their hearts tightened, and they were returned to Lin Zhixuan, is it just for this reason?
Everyone only listened to Lin Zhixuan continue: "It stands to reason that this matter is not the fault of Qiu Ju and the three of them, because I strictly ordered Qiu Ju to go out to do things for me that night, and Gu's mother and Liu's mother also obeyed my orders. But in any case, since this matter has been found out, it is the mansion watching, the big rules in the house can not be abolished, after the gate of the courtyard is locked in and out of the house, it is always to be punished, except for yesterday when the three of them knelt at the second sister-in-law for a day, I will each fine a month of monthly silver as a punishment, do you three disagree?"
As soon as Lin Zhixuan's words came out, the three of them hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed: "The slave and maid will be punished, thank the third girl." ”
Lin Zhixuan nodded and said, "Help Mother Gu and Mother Liu get up, and send the two mothers back to rest." ”
Qiu Ju and Dong Mei hurriedly stepped forward to help, and helped Lin Zhixuan out of the courtyard gate.
Qiu Ju smiled at Gu's mother and whispered in Gu's mother's ear: "The third girl ordered me to reward my mother and Liu's mother with five taels of silver each yesterday, and I will send them today." ”
Gu's mother only had 300 yuan a month, and Mrs. Liu's mother only had 200 yuan a month, and she was fined a month, but she was rewarded with five taels of silver, which was enough for their family to chew for half a year.
Mrs. Liu almost knelt down to thank her, but Qiu Ju said in a low voice: "The third girl is rewarded in private, mothers must not publicize it, otherwise the second grandmother will think that our girl is against her, and she will always be punished on the surface." It's enough for my mother to remember the good of our three girls. ”
