Someone outside the window whispered, "Is Sister Zijuan at home?"

Xue Yan hurriedly came out, saw that it was an attacker, and whispered, "Sister is sitting in the house." ”

The attacker quietly asked, "What's wrong with the girl?"

As she walked, the snow geese told her about the night and what had just happened. When the attacker heard this, he was also stunned: "No wonder Cui Wei came to our side just now and said that your girl was sick, so scared that Second Master Bao hurriedly sent me to see what was going on?"

As he was talking, he saw Zijuan lift the curtain from the inside and look out, saw the attacker, and nodded to her. The attacker walked over softly and asked, "Is the girl asleep?"

Zijuan nodded: "Has my sister heard about it?"

The attacker also nodded, frowned, and said, "What should I do after all?" ”

Zijuan was busy asking what was wrong, and the attacker said: "He slept well last night, but who knew that in the middle of the night, he shouted a few times and was distressed, and he talked nonsense in his mouth, only saying that it seemed to be cut by a knife." It's better until dawn, do you say it's scary?"

As he was talking, he heard Daiyu coughing again in the tent. Zijuan hurriedly came over and took the phlegm with a sputum box. Daiyu opened her eyes slightly: "Who are you talking to?"

Zijuan said, "Sister Raider has come to see the girl." ”

As he spoke, the attacker had already walked to the bed. Daiyu ordered Zijuan to help him up, pointed to the side of the bed with one hand, and asked the attacker to sit down. The attacker sat sideways, and hurriedly persuaded with a smile: "The girl should lie down." ”

Daiyu asked, "Okay, don't make such a fuss." Who just said that in the middle of the night, they felt distressed?"

The attacker said: "It was the second master of Bao who caught it by chance, not seriously." ”

Daiyu knew that it was because she was afraid that she was hanging, and she was grateful and sad. Taking advantage of the situation, he asked, "Since you are stunned, what did you hear him say?"

Attacker: "I didn't say anything. ”

Daiyu nodded, was late for a long time, and sighed: "Don't tell Second Master Bao that I'm not good." ”

The attacker agreed, and then persuaded: "The girl should lie down and rest." ”

Daiyu nodded, and ordered Zijuan to help her down. The attacker couldn't help but sit next to him, and then said goodbye and left, returning to Yihong Courtyard, only saying that Daiyu's body felt a little useless, and there was no serious illness, so Baoyu was relieved.

Xia Jingui of the Xue family drove Xue Pan out, and there was no opponent in the daytime, and Qiu Ling lived on Baochai's side again, leaving only Bao Chan to live alone. Since Xue Pan was given as a concubine, Bao Chan's spirit is not as good as before. Jin Gui looked at it as an opponent, and he regretted it.

After drinking a few glasses of stuffy wine a day, lying on the kang, he wanted to borrow Bao Chan to make a sobering soup, and asked Bao Chan: "Uncle went out the day before yesterday, where did he go? ”

Bao Toad said, "How do I know?" He doesn't tell him in front of his grandmother, who knows what happened to him?"

Jin Gui sneered: "What else is there for grandma and wife now, it's all your world." Others can't be provoked, and someone protects me, and I don't dare to catch lice on the tiger's head. You're still my girl, and when I ask you a word, you'll wrestle with me and talk nonsense. Since you are so powerful, why don't you strangle me to death? You and Qiuling don't care who becomes a grandmother, isn't that pure? But I don't die, and it gets in the way of you. ”

When Bao Chan heard this, where could he stand it, he looked at Jin Gui with straight eyes and said, "Grandma, just tell others about these gossips, I didn't say anything to grandma." Grandma didn't dare to mess with others, so why bother to take our little soft child to get angry. Speaking seriously, grandma pretended not to hear it, and there were a lot of people who were fine. So saying, he began to weep.

Jin Gui became more and more sexual, so he climbed down the kang and wanted to fight the treasure toad. Bao Chan is also the atmosphere of the Xia family, and he will not let it at all. Jin Gui knocked over all the tables, chairs, cups, and cups, and the treasure toad just shouted grievances, where to pay attention to her.

Aunt Xue heard such a noise in Baochai's room, and called Xiangling: "You go and take a look, and persuade her." ”

Baochai said, "I can't help it! Mom don't tell her to go." How could she persuade her if she went, that would add fuel to the fire. ”

Aunt Xue: "In that case, I'll go over by myself." ”

Baochai: "According to me, my mother doesn't have to go, just let them make trouble, this is also a helpless thing." ”

Aunt Xue: "Where can I pay it back!" said that, she helped the girl and came to Jin Gui's side. Baochai only followed, and instructed Xiangling: "You are here." ”

The mother and daughter went to the door of Jin Gui's room together, and heard that they were still crying inside. Aunt Xue said, "Why are you turning your house up like this, is this still like a personal home?

Jin Gui said in the house: "I'm afraid of people's jokes? It's just that the broom here is upside down, and there are no masters, no slaves, no wives, no concubines, it's a bastard world." We have never seen such rules in the Xia family, and we really can't stand such grievances from your family!"

Baochai said: "Sister-in-law, my mother came here because she heard the commotion. It's just that I asked in a hurry, and I didn't distinguish the words grandma and Bao Chan, and there was nothing. Now let's talk about things first, everyone lives in harmony, and my mother worries about us every day. ”

Aunt Xue said, "Yes, let's talk about things first, and it's not too late for you to ask me again." ”

Jin Gui said: "Good girl, you are a great and virtuous person. You will definitely have a good family and son-in-law in the future, and you will never be like me who is a widow and has no relatives, and asks people to ride on my head and bully me. I'm a heartless person, I just ask for a girl, don't pick on death when I speak, I have no teaching from my father to the present day. Besides, the affairs of the wives, men, big women, and little women in our house, the girls can't take care of them!"

When Baochai heard this, he was ashamed and angry, and when he saw his mother in such a situation, he was angry, so he endured it and said, "Sister-in-law, I advise you to say less." Who picks you up? And who bullies you? Don't say it's your sister-in-law, it's Qiuling, and I have never been angry with her. ”

When Jin Gui heard these words, he patted the kang and cried even more: "Where can I compare to Qiu Ling, I can't even keep up with the mud under her feet." She has been here for a long time, and she knows the girl's heart, and she will be courteous, and I am a newcomer, and I will not be courteous, how can I compare with her. Why is this so painful, there are a few concubines in the world, okay, don't marry a nonsense man like me and keep a widow, that's a living eye!"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she was very angry, so she stood up and said, "It's not me who protects my daughter, she persuades you every word, but you vomit her every word." If you can't get by, don't look for her, it's easy to strangle me. ”

Baochai was busy persuading: "Mom, you don't have to be angry. Since we came to persuade her, we were angry, but we were angry. It's better to go out and wait for my sister-in-law to rest. ”

Tell Bao Toad: "Don't talk too much. I followed Aunt Xue out of the room.

That day, Aunt Xue walked to the back of the hall and heard someone crying, but it was Jin Gui. Aunt Xue hurriedly walked over, only to see Baochai come out, her face full of tears, and when she saw Aunt Xue, she said, "Mom, don't worry, it's important to do things." ”

Aunt Xue entered the house with Baochai, and when she entered the door, she had already heard what her family had said, and she was trembling with fright, crying: "Who is it with?"

I saw my family reply: "Mrs. doesn't need to ask those details at this time. Depending on who he is, he always has to pay for his life if he is killed, so it is good to discuss what to do. ”

Aunt Xue came out crying: "What else to discuss?"

The family said: "According to the opinion of the little ones, tonight I will get some silver taels, and I will rush to meet with the second master and the uncle, and I will visit a thoughtful Mr. Knife and Pen there, give him some silver, first tear up the capital crime, and then come back and ask Jiafu to go to the boss Yamen to intercede." There were also officials outside, and the wife first took out a few taels of silver to send them away. We're in a hurry. ”

Aunt Xue said: "You find that family, send him silver, and give him some money for support, and if the plaintiff doesn't chase him, the matter will be slowed down." ”

Xue Baochai said in the curtain: "Mom, I can't help it, the more money is given to these things, the more troublesome they become, but what the little guy said just now is." ”

Aunt Xue cried again: "I don't want to die either, rush there to see him, and die with him and it's over." ”

Baochai was so anxious that he persuaded on the one hand, and called someone in the curtain at the same time: "Let's go and do it with the second master." ”

The girls helped Aunt Xue in, and Xue Zhen walked out, and Baochai said, "If you have any information, send someone to send it immediately, and you can only take care of it outside." Xue Zhen agreed.

Here Baochai persuaded Aunt Xue, and there Jin Gui grabbed Xiangling in the air, and shouted to her: "Usually you just boast, they killed people in their family, and there was nothing to do, so they came to Beijing, and now they are really killed." On weekdays, I only talk about the rich, powerful, and good relatives, and at this time, I was also scared and panicked. When Uncle can't come back tomorrow, you will each do your own thing, and leave me alone to suffer!"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she became more and more angry and fainted, and Baochai was anxious and had no choice. was making trouble, and I saw Mrs. Jiafu Wang send a big girl to inquire. Although Baochai knew that he was from Jiafu, one was not yet understood, and when the other was urgent, he could only say to the big girl.

"At this time, the matter has not yet been understood, I only heard that my brother killed someone outside and was taken by the county, and I don't know how to convict him. After a while and a half, I got the letter, and I hurried to deliver the letter to the wife over there. You go back first to thank Mrs. Remember, how much do we still rely on the masters over there. The girl agreed.

Two days later, I saw the little girl come back and take a letter to the little girl to bring in. When Baochai opened it and looked at it, the book read: "Big brother's life was injured by mistake, not intentional killing." This morning, Xue Zhen made up a piece of paper and put it in, but it has not yet been approved. The eldest brother's confession was very bad, and after this paper is approved, he will record another class, and if he can retract his confession well, he will be born. Quickly take another five hundred taels of silver from the pawnshop to use, don't be late, and ask your wife to rest assured, and ask the little maid for the rest. ”

Baochai read it and read it to Aunt Xue one by one. Aunt Xue wiped her tears and said, "It looks like this, it's undecided." ”

Baochai said: "Mom, don't be sad first, wait for the little girl to come in and ask for clarification." ”

While sending the little girl to call the little girl in. Aunt Xue asked the little girl: "You tell me about the uncle." ”

The little guy said: "That night, I heard what the uncle and the second master said, which scared me out of the way. ”

"Uncle said that since the family made a lot of trouble, the uncle is not in the mood, so he has to go to the south to buy goods. On this day I thought about going with someone who lived south of our city. The uncle went to look for him, met Jiang Yuhan, who was good with the uncle first, and entered the city with some small dramas. The uncle ate and drank with him in the shop, because when the trough glanced at Jiang Yuhan, the uncle became angry, and then Jiang Yuhan left. ”

The next day, the uncle invited the person he was looking for to drink, and after drinking, he remembered the events of the previous day, and asked the person who was the trough to change the wine, and the man who was the trough was late, and the uncle scolded. The man didn't follow, so the uncle picked up the wine bowl and hit him. Who knew that the person was also a splash, so he stuck his head over and asked the uncle to beat him. The uncle took the bowl and smashed him on the head, and he broke blood, and lay on the ground, still scolding, and then stopped talking. ”

Aunt Xue asked, "Why is there no one to persuade you?"

The little guy said, "I didn't hear what the uncle said, and the little one didn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Aunt Xue: "You go and rest first." ”

The little guy promised to come out. Aunt Xue came to see Mrs. Wang in person and asked Mrs. Wang to ask Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng asked before and after, but he had to vaguely agree, only saying that he would wait for Xue Zhen to hand over the submission and see how his county approved it before dealing with it.
