Chapter 8: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet (II)
Xiping County Mansion, Pu Hong was talking to everyone, silent, only heard a belching sound from the banquet, everyone looked back, it was still the one-eyed child Pu Sheng in Pu Jian's house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoPu Sheng knew that his grandfather Pu Hong had always disliked him, so he opposed Pu Hong everywhere in the house. Pu Jian was about to let Pu Sheng take him down, but Pu Sheng stood up with the slave girl and was about to leave, when he saw Pu Hong tilt his head and ask the waiter on the side half-jokingly, saying, "I heard that the blind man has tears in one eye, but is it true?"
The waiter on the side didn't understand what Pu Hong meant, so he replied, "Yes." ”
When Pu Sheng heard this, he felt that Pu Hong had humiliated him in public, so he broke away from the servants his father had asked him to lead him down, walked among the crowd, pulled out his saber and stabbed himself in blood, looked up and asked Pu Hong with a stubborn face, "Isn't this tears?"
Pu Hong sat on the high platform, surprised, stood up and walked into the hall, looking at Pu Sheng. Pu Sheng was not afraid, and he didn't care about the unstoppable blood on his body, and looked directly at Pu Hong. Pu Hong was furious, and took off the whip he carried with him and beat Pu Sheng. Gamo stood still, letting the whip whipped his body. No one dared to go up to persuade him, and someone whispered during the banquet: "Why is this child like this, why don't you beg your grandfather for mercy quickly." ”
Pu Sheng held back his tears and said, "I was born not afraid of stabs, how can I not stand the whipping!" ”
When Pu Hong heard this, he was even more furious, and he whipped Pu Sheng twice, pointed the whip at him and said, "If you don't change your nature, I will reduce you to a slave!" ”
Gamo gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it like a stone?" ”
After hearing this, Pu Hong whipped Pu Sheng fiercely, and when he panted and hurriedly stepped forward, he fell down, and regardless of the shoes that had fallen off, he stepped forward barefoot to cover Pu Sheng's mouth fiercely, and said to Pu Sheng's father, Pu Jian: "This son is cruel by nature, if he is not dealt with early, he will inevitably harm his family in the future." ”
Pu Jian felt that he had lost face, and stood up to snatch the saber from Pu Sheng's hand. Although Pu Sheng was stubborn, he was only afraid of his father, and when he saw him, Pu Jian stood in place and didn't even dare to move. Seeing that his brother Pu Jian was about to kill Pu Sheng, Pu Xiong hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Pu Jian's hand, and said to him: "Children are naughty by nature, and they will naturally learn well when they grow up, you and I have grown up at such an age, why should you be like this?" Only then did Pu Jian throw Gamu's saber on the ground and let someone lead him down before he sat back in his seat, picked up the wine lord and drank all the wine in it.
In Yujia's mansion, Baili Qinghu looked at the farce in front of him coldly, knowing that as long as Yuhai was still present, this farce would not end. Although he knew that other people's family affairs should not be taken care of, he still stepped forward and pulled Yuhai out of the yard, and when he was out of the yard, he only listened to the back, and the voice of Yuqiao no longer trembled, and he said: "Yuqiao, I wish my uncle, the family is ruined!" All I heard was a crisp slap in the face, and the sound of silver falling to the ground in all directions. Yuhai wanted to turn around and go back, but was stopped by Baili Qinghu and went out.
Yuhai sent Baili Qinghu out, with a sad face, and said angrily: "Is she doing this for me?" ”
Baili Qinghu was silent, and said for a long time: "There is a sentence, Qinghu doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”
Yuhai bit his lip and said, "Please speak." ”
Baili Qinghu paused before saying, "Brother Yu's fate with this child is over. ”
Yuhai was taken aback and asked, "Brother Baili means that this kid will find a short view?" ”
Baili Qinghu shook his head and said, "That's all I say, Brother Yu is good at it." ”
Yu Qiao knelt in the courtyard, and after saying that, he got up from the pile of silver coins scattered around, and walked out without looking back. Seeing this, the lady of the Yuhe family came forward and asked Yuhe: "Why do you have to embarrass a child like this?" ”
Yuhe looked angry, pushed his wife away, and followed.
The wind is cold and the night is cold, and Yu Buckwheat walks alone in the huge fish mansion, looking up at the sky, unable to cry, let alone laugh. When passing by the stone bridge where Yuge fell into the water, he suddenly had a hundred ideas. Yuhe followed behind Yu Qiao, saw her on the stone bridge in a daze, recognized that it was the stone bridge where he threw Yuge into the water, and stopped stepping forward.
Yuhe fell in love with Aunt Xiao at first sight in Plum Garden, and at first she was restrained because she was her brother and sister-in-law. Later, Aunt Xiao was neglected by Yuhai for a long time, and after meeting Yuhe a few times, the two hooked up together. Yuge is active by nature, the five-year-old milk doll is not easy to be found wherever it hides, often avoids the slave girl who is with her and sneaks away to play in a no-man's place alone, and a few times accidentally sees Aunt Xiao and Yuhe having a private meeting, Yuge looks at them laughing, although she can't understand what they do, she can't understand what they laugh at, she only thinks it's funny when she hides in a hidden place, and she never tells others.
On the day Yuge fell into the water, Yuhe came out of Aunt Xiao's place, and when he walked to the stone bridge, he happened to see Yuge and Yuqiao together, followed by a female slave. Yuhe didn't care, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible. Suddenly, I heard Yu Ge pointing at him and shouting: "Sister Yu Qiao, that person is the one who often comes to your mother's house!" ”
Yu Qiao was stunned and didn't believe it, and Yu Ge saw that Yu Qiao didn't react, so he shouted and said it again. Yuhe was angry for a while, turned around and picked up Yuge, and threw her into the water despite her struggle and crying. Turning around, he saw Yu Qiao and the slave girl Qing'er who were paralyzed with fright, and stepped forward to warn: "Don't tell anyone about this, whoever says it, I will throw them into the water and drown!" After saying that, he pulled out and walked away quickly. Yu Qiao watched the struggling fish song in the water gradually stop moving, and the whole person trembled like chaff, and said to Qing'er: "I...... Let's go. ”
Yu Qiao doesn't like fish songs, she doesn't like her father to ignore her and her mother because of fish songs, and she doesn't like her to hide her mouth. When she returned to Aunt Xiao's room, she wanted to ask Aunt Xiao if what Yuge said was true, but she mustered up the courage several times but still gave up.
After Yuhe left, he had a plan in his heart that would allow him to get Aunt Xiao completely. When he turned around, he hid in the dark and was rescued by Li Wei and Pu Jian, and because he was frightened and lost his memory, he took a detour back to Aunt Xiao and secretly found Qing'er. Qing'er was frightened when she saw Yuhe, and under the coercion and temptation of Yuhe, Qing'er ventured to Yuge's room and secretly told Yuge that the person who pushed Yuge into the water was Yu'er. Yu Gexin thought it was true and told Yuhai about it, and after Yuhai drove Aunt Xiao out of the house, Yuhe placed Aunt Xiao in a small courtyard bought in advance.
Yuhe looked at Yu Qiao standing on the bridge from a distance, and when he saw her jumping off the bridge, he turned around and went out of the house, and rode a horse all the way to the yard where he placed Aunt Xiao. He sat up and asked, "Why are you here, shouldn't you be at the mansion tonight?" ”
Yuhe took a sip of water, took a sip and said, "To the feast?" Hum! The good mood is ruined by your precious girl! ”
When Aunt Xiao heard the buckwheat, she suddenly had some expectations in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "How is my buckwheat?" Is she okay in the house? ”
Yuhe thought that Yu Buckwheat was dead, and originally wanted to use Yu Buckwheat's death to stimulate Aunt Xiao to have fun, but he didn't want to face a dead person in the future, so he hid the news that Yu Buckwheat jumped off the stone bridge. He snorted coldly and said, "Okay? What's so good about being kept like a dog? ”
When Aunt Xiao heard this, her mood plummeted, and she sat down on the couch, crying from the bottom of her heart. Yuhe looked at her, laughed, and said, "What? Distressed? I will feed you, clothe you, and live for you, but your daughter wishes my family ruined! Haha, the family is ruined? ”
Aunt Xiao looked at Yuhe's appearance, she was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What did you do to her?" ”
Yuhe looked at Aunt Xiao's eyes and said, "What to do?" What can I do to her at such a young age? It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Your daughter really deserves to be your own child, and she is as cheap as you in her bones! Willing to do anything for money. Now that she can lend me to embarrass her father, I'll see if she's still not so tough in ten years! ”
Aunt Xiao was relieved to know that Yu Buckwheat was fine, and she wanted Yu He to try to bring Yu Buckwheat to her, but now it seems that it is the right thing to do to let Yu Buckwheat stay in the house. Aunt Xiao was stunned, Yuhe finished drinking water, grabbed Aunt Xiao's clothes, and said with a hideous expression: "Do you think I came here to chat with you today?" You know no! After speaking, he threw Aunt Xiao on the ground, tore her clothes and ravaged her before getting dressed and riding back to Yujia's mansion for a banquet.
The buckwheat fell heavily on the ice, and it couldn't even find death. Curled up under the bridge, she heard the sound of people moving on the bridge and resounding, and she couldn't tell what she was afraid of. Hearing the voices of people moving away, the buckwheat curled up on the ice, leaving only sleepiness.
I can't die! Yu Qiao told herself, I can't die yet, I still have a lot to ask my mother, I still have to watch them be punished, I have to return the suffering and humiliation I suffered today, I can't just die in vain and let the bad guys live well!
Panting and almost suffocating for a long time on the ice, Yu Qiao sat up and limped back to the small courtyard despite the blood on his head. She usually walked for half an hour, and that night she walked for a long, long time. If her jealousy of Yuge evolved into anger towards Yuge and the Jiang family when the cat was killed, now all she has left in her heart is resentment towards the entire Yu family.
In the old lady's house in the fish mansion, the banquet dispersed. Yuge went back to the room with his mother to rest, and the Yuhai brothers stayed in the old lady's house to accompany the old lady to keep the New Year. After returning to the house, after freshening up, Yu Ge sat on the bed, Yu Ge looked at Jiang and said, "Mother doesn't sleep tonight, and Ge'er doesn't sleep either." ”
Jiang stroked her hair and said to her, "My mother has to keep a New Year's watch in the house tonight, but Ge'er is still young and doesn't need to accompany my mother." After speaking, he looked at her and said to her, "This is the clothes you wear tomorrow, you have to get up early tomorrow and get dressed by yourself, understand?" ”
Yu Ge nodded seriously, and Jiang smiled and said to her, "Go to sleep." Saying that, he was about to put the copper coin in his hand at the foot of the bed, Yuge looked at Jiang seriously, saw the copper coin in her hand, and said to Jiang: "What is in my mother's hand?" ”
Jiang replied: "Crush the money." ”
Yuge suspected that he had misheard, so he said, "I'll take a look." ”
Jiang handed the copper coin in his hand to Yu Ge, Yu Ge looked at the copper coin in his hand, and saw the words "Long live the thousand autumns", "go to the evil and eliminate the evil", "thousands of generations", "full of gold and jade", "long life and 100 years old", etc., and the other side was cast with various patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, turtles and snakes, double fishes, fighting swords, and star fights, a total of eight pieces.
Yu Ge returned the copper coin to Jiang and said, "This copper coin seems to be different from the one that bought sugar melons." Mother, what is this for? ”
Jiang smiled and said to Yu Ge: "This is also called spending money, it is used to suppress 'Zheng', which is naturally different from what you usually see." Go to sleep, my mother will tell you the story of this overwhelming money. ”
Yuge replied, "Okay." After speaking, she shrunk into the quilt, no matter how many times she had heard this story, she just looked at Jiang with expectant eyes, waiting for her to tell the story.
Jiang gently patted her quilt and said slowly: "In ancient times, there was a little demon called 'Zhen', and every Chinese New Year's Eve, he would come out and touch the head of a sleeping child with his hand, and the child would often cry in fright, and then have a headache and fever, and become a fool. Therefore, every family sits with the lights on on this day and does not sleep, which is called 'Shou Zheng'. According to legend, a husband and wife have children in old age and are regarded as hearts and livers. On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they were afraid that they would harm the children, so they took out eight copper coins to play with the children. The child was tired of playing and fell asleep, they wrapped eight copper coins in red paper and put them under the child's pillow, the couple did not dare to close their eyes, in the middle of the night, suddenly a gust of wind blew open the door, blowing out the lights. At this time, 'Zhen' appeared, and 'Zheng' quietly walked to the child's bed, and was just about to reach out to touch the child's head, when a golden light burst out from the pillow, and he ran away in fright. The next day, the couple told everyone about the use of red paper to wrap eight copper coins to scare away the 'Zheng', and since then, everyone has learned to do it, and the child has been peaceful. It turns out that the eight copper coins are changed by the eight immortals, and they are secretly to protect the child......" After speaking, he saw that Yuge had fallen asleep. Looking at the money in his hand, he was afraid that he would wake her up by putting it under the bed, so he picked up the flower purse with red paper and gently stuffed it under her pillow.
Xiping County Prince, everyone went out separately after the banquet, Pu Chang and Pu Jian went out together, Pu Chang asked: "I heard that the little sister of the Yu family came to school in the county mansion school?" ”
Pu Jian replied: "Well, I have been here. ”
Pu Chang said: "I didn't go to school with you in Yecheng before, and I can often get together with you after the beginning of spring, I am much older than you, and I don't know if the little girl will like me." ”
When Pu Jian heard this, he said, "Fish...... The little sister is kind, the brother is sincere, and the little sister should like the brother. After speaking, my heart was a little sour, and I couldn't explain it.
Pu Chang smiled and said, "I hope so." "When he went out of the house, he parted ways, boarded the carriage and horses, and went back to his house.
