Chapter 129: Twists and Turns
When Aunt Hu saw Dong Shengxing coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "But Mrs. Tai needs a slave?"
Dong Shengxing said 'En', turned his head and went in again.
Aunt Hu followed and entered the house.
The second lady patted the table and said, "What are you hiding from me?"
Aunt Hu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Tai is angry, the slave doesn't say anything, I'm afraid you will worry." ”
The second lady said, "Say." ”
Aunt Hu glanced at Dong Shengxing and said, "The sixth young master has died." ”
I saw that the second wife's hand on the edge of the kang shook, and happened to touch the medicine bowl on the small table on the ground.
The medicine bowl was all on the ground with the rest of the potion.
The sound of the bowl breaking alarmed the magpies and others outside.
Aunt Hu first looked at the second wife's hand and saw that her hand was fine, so she lifted the curtain and called the magpie and others to come in and clean up.
The magpie had just come in with the little girl, and was just about to clean up, when the second lady said, "Magpie, take them all out." ”
The magpie glanced at Aunt Hu, and when she saw Aunt Hu's eyes, she hurriedly led someone out outside.
Aunt Hu sighed, and then told me about yesterday and today.
The second lady said, "What do you want?"
The second master said: "The son wants to ask his mother to find out about this?"
The second lady nodded, "I'll find out about this." ”
As soon as Dong Shengxing left, Aunt Hu persuaded: "My wife, your body has just improved a little, how can you worry about this?"
The second lady shook her head, "The sixth young master is a sister-in-law. ”
Aunt Hu didn't say anything anymore.
Because the sixth young master is less than one year old, children who die young cannot enter the ancestral grave.
There are many children in each generation of the Dong family, so there is a separate hill to bury the underage children of the Dong family.
The sixth young master did not have a funeral, only a small coffin carried him out of the Dong family.
At the same time, Aunt Hua was also carried out.
Aunt Hua just collapsed in blood, and she died directly.
Everything was stuck on Aunt Hua's body, and no one knew if she had fed the sixth young master something that shouldn't have been fed at that time.
The second husband looked at Aunt Hu and said, "What do you think about this?"
Aunt Hu said: "If it wasn't premeditated early on, it was Aunt Hua's unintentional mistake." ”
The second lady said: "Let people stare at Aunt Gui, it is really unwise for her to act like this." ”
Aunt Hu was stunned, didn't dare to answer, and went out directly to order.
The inaction of the second wife made Dong Shengxing anxious.
This matter has obviously touched Dong Shengxing's bottom line, and he will continue to investigate it no matter what.
After listening to the report of the housekeeper on major and minor matters, the second lady rubbed her forehead and said, "I will take Dong Ruyi back with the death of the sixth young master." If someone really wants to harm the children of the Dong family, Dong Ruyi and Dong Shijie can't run away, let's just sit back and wait for the change, but it's a pity that Dong Ruyi is not born to the Dong family. ”
Although Dong Ruyi is not born to the Dong family, he is the heart and soul of Dong Sanye, and he is still one of the only two remaining children in Xi Dong. ”
The second lady made a decision, and Aunt Hu went to the Chen family in person.
It's still that flower hall, and it's still Mrs. Chen who saw her in person.
Aunt Hu saluted and said, "The slave maid was ordered to take Miss Ruyi back to the house. ”
Aunt Hu directly said her intention.
Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, "I don't dare to deal with this, you better wait for my master to come back from school." ”
Aunt Hu's heart tightened, she chose this time to come over, in order to open more Chen family masters.
Seeing that Mrs. Chen stopped talking and only cared about tasting tea, she gritted her teeth and said, "The in-laws don't know, the sixth young master of our family is gone." ”
Mrs. Chen's hand shook, put down the teacup, she wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and said, "Please tell the lord and lady of the in-laws to mourn." ”
Aunt Hu saw that Mrs. Chen was silent again, and continued: "Our second old lady and the second lady are too sad because of the matter of the tenth master and the sixth young master, so our second master wants to let Miss Ruyi go back, and there is a child by her side, so that they can be relieved." ”
Mrs. Chen shook her head and said: "That's what I said, but Sister Ru is too young, and there is no adult watching at home at this time. ”
Aunt Hu was pushed back directly.
Dong Ruyi already knew that the Dong family was coming, and she was sitting at the small table playing a game of chess.
Xiangju was a little anxious, this was the first time she came to the Chen family, and it was also the first time she had waited for the Dong family to pick them up.
Xiangju wanted to speak several times, and finally took a snack and said, "Miss, did you say that Master Chen would let us go back?"
Dong Ruyi said with a smile: "What can I do if I go back or not, it must be a foregone conclusion over there." ”
Xiangju didn't understand what Dong Ruyi was talking about, and said anxiously: "What's the final decision? Isn't Miss afraid that those aunts will push the matter on our yard people?"
Dong Ruyi said: "Xiangju, you are my eldest girl, you have to learn to deal with anything, it is Aunt Hu next to the second wife who came to the Chen family today, since she came to pick me up, it means that the second lady is intervening in this matter." ”
Xiangju still didn't understand, Dong Ruyi sighed: "Sanfang doesn't even have a serious master now, just a few slaves and maids in charge, where can Aunt Donghua be made? The second lady has been with the second lady for many years, where can she figure this out, maybe she sent someone to take me back, in order to use me to lure out the real people behind the scenes, it's a pity..."
Dong Ruyi lowered his head and took a step of chess, and did not continue.
Xiangju has already heard stupidly, her own young lady knows everything and understands everything, so why is she still ready to go back?
She hurriedly said: "If that's the case, then we have to stay in the Chen family for everything, where are we the opponents of those people." In the past, slaves and maids had heard the mothers-in-law in the tooth shop say that the real place to hide dirt and dirt was not in the flower street and willow lane, but in the back houses of those wealthy families. ”
Dong Ruyi said: "No, no, no, don't you think your grandfather's family is very good?"
Dong Ruyi pointed to the tea bowl on the table, and Xiangju saw that there was not much tea in it, so she hurriedly picked it up and went to the side to fill half a bowl of water.
Dong Ruyi no matter what the occasion is, she drinks tea in a regular tea bowl.
In Jiangning, whether it is a large family or a small family, all the teacups used in the back house are used.
Unless it is a particularly particular literati, a tea bowl with a lid will be used, such as Master Chen.
Tea bowls with lids, on the larger side, after putting the tea leaves, brew water to drink, while teacups without lids, smaller, are poured into the teapot after brewing tea.
Xiangju also proposed to give Miss a teacup to drink, mainly because Miss drinks water by herself on weekdays, so it is convenient for young people to take it away.
was only rejected by Zhou's mother.
