Chapter 318: Blessings and Misfortunes Are Doomed
Sister Qiao was still worried at first, always thinking that the family didn't know what the chaos was like, and her mother must be so anxious that she couldn't sleep, and her condition would worsen, right?
After dinner, after a simple freshening, this time lying in the soft futon, thinking about the horizontal and vertical is already like this, it is useless to be in a hurry, but too lazy to think about it, besides, the first time I came to the country, I felt very fresh, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep when I lay on the bed.

"Sister Qing'er, you said that you will be on March 3 next year, why did your grandmother let you call me sister? By the way, I am on the seventh birthday of July, and I am only 14 years old this year, which is one year younger than you. ”
"Grandma saw how magnificent your house was at that time, how graceful and beautiful the old lady and aunt were, and how handsome and beautiful the aunt and girl were. ”
"Why not, I'm used to calling you sister, and I won't be able to change it for a while. ”
"Why bother to change it, it's good to be like this, Sister Qiao'er is well-informed, unlike me, a country girl, who has never seen the world, but since I call you sister, my sister will teach me more, so that my sister can learn more." ”
Sister Qiao'er listened to it and became more and more interested in chatting.
"Sister Qing'er, I heard my mother say that in the autumn of next year, Uncle Bao and Brother Lan are going to enter the venue to give it a try, you tell grandma, let Brother Ban'er go with you, Brother Lan said, Mr. Xueli often praises your brother's articles, maybe you can make a move at home." ”
"I will tell my grandmother that I should prepare earlier, and I hope that the Tuofu will be blessed and my brother will be blessed by the Bodhisattva. Qing'er has something in her heart, just thinking that Sister Qiao'er will fall asleep quickly, and she is reluctant to socialize without a match.
Secretly I was thinking, what is the meaning of maybe my family can also make a move, the ancestors of the Wang family are also heirlooms of poetry and books, and the ancestors of Wang Gouer are also scientific examinations, worship under the Wang family, and recognize the same sect, but unfortunately, the luck is not good, I don't know why I was dismissed, and I bought a field here to settle down, just because Wang Gou'er is addicted to gambling and lost all the ancestral property, so that it decays.
Sister Qiao'er was talking about it, turned over, approached Sister Qiao'er and said: "By the way, the little brother I met today looks like everyone's son, if Aunt Wang doesn't say that he is stupid, I really don't see that he is a fool." ”
"Well, it's a pity, it's just a shame. ”
"Sister Qiao'er. ”
"Hmm. ”
"You say, is Second Master Bao good-looking, or is that stupid cow good-looking?"
"It's all good-looking. ”
"The stupid cow is taller and taller, but he is more heroic than my second uncle. ”
"Well, sleepy ......"
"Sister Qiao'er. ”
"Well, I'm asleep......"
After all, after sitting in the carriage for half a day, for Sister Qiao'er, who went out for the first time, was also exhausted, relying on a little freshness to support, and soon fell asleep without a voice.
In the memory of the previous life, this kang has just lived for a period of time, the kang is covered with a mat, it is very uncomfortable to lie on it, and at this time the kang mat is covered with a new red mattress, and the quilt is also red, embroidered with a phoenix peony pattern, Wang Qing'er pondered, since it is said to be for Wang Ban'er's marriage, is Wang Ban'er already married? Isn't it Sister Qiao'er?
She didn't know that the countryman, in addition to building a house, is the biggest expense for her son's marriage, but all women who can live will save up their wedding supplies little by little in advance.
That night, Wang Qing'er accompanied Sister Qiao and talked for a long time, from Wang's house to Jia's house, from Wang Xifeng's illness to the third girl, and then about the embarrassment of Bao Erye and Miss Lin, until sleepiness hit, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I fell asleep.
The bedrooms on both sides of the hall are in and out of the hall, the left and right two ear rooms, Wang Liu sent Aunt Wang to live in the guest room, the handlebar type and the stupid cow are also properly placed, and the couple only go back to their rooms to rest.
Wang Gou'er leaned on the kang, filled a pot of cigarettes, and took a few puffs.
"Ban'er Niang, my left eye jumped when I got up early this morning, and you also let the red paper be pressed, for fear of amusing the disaster star, but I didn't expect it to be the God of Wealth who came to the door. ”
"Daddy Ban'er, where do you start?"
"It should be in the courtyard of the widow's house, I was also trying to be cheap, and I couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Widow Liu, so the ghost sent the god to spend sixty taels of silver to buy it, but your mother scolded me for being a loser, saying that it was a tuberculosis house, and two people died, and no one dared to live in vain. There is also Qing'er, the ghost girl played in the courtyard of Liu's house when she was young, and said a lot of inexplicable words, everyone thought that she met a ghost in broad daylight, but she said that she saw a slope foot Taoist and a leper monk, and the kung fu was gone in the blink of an eye, but several other children said that they didn't see it, the green girl was scared a lot, and still has lingering palpitations, and refused to go to live in that house, even you shouted that you didn't want to live, you said that the place was unlucky, afraid of being possessed by tuberculosis ghosts, this is not, it has been put aside for six or seven years, and the doors and windows are defeated. ”
"You mean selling the tuberculosis haunted house to ......"
"Shhhhh......h
"But, that's too immoral, isn't it?"
"Woman, have you forgotten that our family lacked food and clothing that year, and there was no such thing as begging on the streets? No, although we have not begged on the street, my mother-in-law took Ban'er to Rongguo Mansion to beg, fortunately, the old Wang aunt and grandmother were merciful, and rewarded twenty taels of silver to help us survive the famine.
Wang Liu hung his head and said silently, and said secretly in his heart, why don't you say that it is because you lost gambling, you owe people money, houses and land are used to pay off debts, and subsidized clothing and food, in fact, it was given to us by the creditor with kindness......
When Wang Qing'er woke up, Sister Qiao was sleeping soundly, and she heard that there was still whispering in the opposite room, and her heart moved, so she quietly dressed and climbed down the kang, and slipped out of the house, wanting to go to the opposite father's room to inquire about Wang Gou'er's sale of the house.
Although she also tabooed the death of people in that room, she didn't care about the tuberculosis ghost, she was worried that Wang Gou'er would sell the courtyard house cheaply, and with their family's current bride price, wanting to have such a courtyard again was tantamount to a fool's dream.
The door of Wang Gou'er and his wife's room was tightly closed, Wang Qing'er stood outside the door, heard their conversation clearly, and speculated that Wang Gou'er was determined to sell the courtyard to the fools, even if she persuaded him, it would be useless, not to mention, according to Wang Gou'er, she originally didn't want to live in that house, and suddenly persuaded them not to buy that house, maybe it would make her parents suspicious, thinking that she had other plans for the mother and son.
For example, being bewitched by the beauty of the young man.
Of course, what she cares about the most is that perhaps, the mother and son urgently need a quiet house to live in.
Qing'er still remembers the courtyard, sitting south and facing north, there is a stream next to it that goes straight to the big river below Kanzi, and behind the house is the orchard of the widow's family.
After all, there were people dead in that house, and it was inevitable that a family would be afraid at night, and if Wang Gou'er could sell it for a good price and free up the silver, it would be more ideal to renovate and rebuild this house.
Wang Qing'er fell back silently, lay on the kang with her eyes open, and thought about gains and losses for a long time before she barely fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Wang Qing'er and Sister Qiao overslept, and when they woke up, Wang Liu's had already made a soup, and when the two girls were dressed neatly and came out to wash, the sun had already risen.
Wang Liu's busy came over, and after serving Sister Qiao'er with Qing'er, Wang Qing'er brought a tray of meals prepared by Wang Liu's into the house, and still ate with Sister Qiao'er in the back room.
Ordinary pumpkin corn porridge, because of Sister Qiao'er, Wang Liu prepared two extra side dishes and new wheat noodle pancakes, and secretly added an egg to each of their pancakes.
Sister Qiao was in a hurry to go home and ate indiscriminately, so she urged the handlebar style, and it was easy to wait for him to eat and drink enough before setting off.
Wang Qing'er originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk to the fool again and find out his true origin, but Sister Qiao'er had no one to follow, so there was absolutely no reason for her to go home by herself, so she had to run again.
The horse rested for a night, and the number of riders was reduced by one, coupled with Sister Qiao'er's strong urging, the handlebar had to speed up, and it took less than three hours to arrive at Rongguo Mansion.
Wang Qing'er jumped out of the car first, and before she could turn around and go to serve Sister Qiao'er to get out of the car, the man who guarded the door had already rushed over, grabbed her arm and reprimanded her sharply: "Did you lose our young lady......?"
Sister Qiao'er poked her head out and frowned: "Uncle Lin, Qing'er is a relative I invited, so Hugh is rude!"
When the man saw Sister Qiao'er, he let go of Wang Qing'er with relief, and the little man who was guarding the door flew over, half-knelt on the ground, made a ladder with his legs, and asked Sister Qiao'er to get out of the car.
"Oh, Miss Qiao, if you don't go home again, Second Master Lian may want to peel our skin, Second Lian/Grandma scolded when she saw someone, stretched out her hand to beat, and even Miss Ping didn't let go, Miss Wang is also confused, you are used to being wild, our girl is everyone's young lady, why can't you kidnap her out to play lawlessly, if you really lose it, your family can't afford to pay for it!"
"Uncle Lin, I'm annoyed if you talk too much!" Sister Qiao saw that Wang Qing'er was wronged, and held her grievances, explaining: "It was I who begged her to take me to the City God Temple to pray for my mother's blessing, because I didn't rush to the city in time for the curfew, so I went to Grandma Liu's house to rest for a night." ”
shouted here, a little girl had already reported to Sister Feng, saying that Miss Wang had come back with Miss Qiao'er.
As soon as Wang Qing'er stepped into the courtyard of Lian's second master's house, she was startled by the mother-in-law who greeted her, and looked at it when she saw that it was Grandma Liu who beat her.
"Grandma ......" wanted to defend aggrievedly, but the second burst fell on his forehead again.
"You foolish thing, how do you know how your grandmother lived yesterday? My aunt and grandmother were so anxious that they sent people to search all over the house and the garden over there, and went around the city to look for them. ”
Wang Xifeng was helped out by Ping'er, her hair was scattered, her little face was scorched, and when she saw Sister Qiao'er, she hurriedly took her into her arms, and she screamed obediently.
Without waiting for Sister Feng to speak, Sister Qiao said: "Mother, I went to the City God Temple yesterday to pray for your blessings, and I asked for a sign, saying that you will be cured after a while of cultivation." ”
Grandma Liu is such a shrewd person, and immediately continued: "Is the girl worshipping the most effective Bodhisattva in our place? ”
"What Grandma Liu said is, second/grandma, our young lady personally prays, and she will definitely be able to move the bodhisattva and add blessings and longevity to the second/grandma. ”
"You can all talk now, blame Grandma Liu for everything!" Wang Xifeng was a little embarrassed, and taught the mother-in-law in his house and said: "My sister hasn't eaten yet, and Grandma Liu has been hungry for a day, you still don't serve them to wash up, tell the kitchen to prepare a few delicious dishes, and then warm a pot of daughter Honglai, I want to personally compensate Grandma Liu!"
"Oh, hey, don't dare, don't dare, my aunt is tormented by the old body, our family is deeply graced by my aunt, and we should serve my aunt and the girl wholeheartedly. ”
I heard that there was a daughter who drank red, and Grandma Liu's wine insects were in her brain, and she couldn't bear it anymore.
Before the kitchen could prepare the meal, Mrs. Wang sent Yu Chu'er to send a message, saying that Sister Feng was becoming more and more ignorant of the rules, and she was shocked when she was fine, which made the old lady's birthday uneasy.
Sister Feng only remembered that today was the old lady's day, and she only cared about looking for Sister Qiao'er, she was really confused, no wonder she was not treated by the masters of the Jia family, and even looked down on by the minions.
was reprimanded by Yu Chu'er in front of a room of minions, and his face was inevitably unbearable.
Sister Feng held back her stomach full of resentment, and smiled quietly: "Sister Yu Chu'er, please tell your wife, just say that Sister Qiao and I will go to the old lady to ask for peace, I have been recuperating at home recently, and it is no longer appropriate to not be able to share the worries for my wife, because my sister's affairs make the old lady and Mrs. worry about it, Feng Er is very reluctant not to go, wait for her body to get better another day, and then personally compensate Mrs." ”
While saying Wanfu, Yu Chu'er was so frightened that she hurriedly helped her and smiled: "I know that Lian Er/Grandma is a salute to his wife, and he must convey the filial piety of the second/grandma to his wife when he goes home, and the second/grandma asks for convenience, and the slave and maid say goodbye......"
