13. Zhang's
Shen went here to prepare for the overnight stay, and the maid-in-law he brought with him was more than twice as much as usual.
This group of people traveled for two hours before they were outside the gate of Guangji Temple. Because it was the Dragon Boat Festival, the incense in the temple was vigorous, and it was a loss that the Beishun Hou Mansion had booked a squatter room early, so that Shen and others would not be squeezed outside the temple.
Shen took a few girls to incense in the main hall, and then went to the dormitory with the little novice. And Beishunhou's wife Zhang and daughter Dou Mingluan have also been waiting here for a long time. A few people haven't seen each other for many days, and they are affectionate again. Shen and Zhang chatted in the same room, Zhenyu and Zhenxiu Zhenyi followed Dou Mingluan, and Zhenyuan Zhenshu was together in one place.
Buddhists pay attention to not eating at noon, and there is no dinner in the squatter room. When it was time to hold the lamp, Hou Fuzhang and Shen took a few girls to have some snacks and tea, and then rested early. And these young Jiao'e, it is difficult to go home, although in the Buddhist temple, they are still interested in going around. Zhenshu and Zhenyuan were reading scriptures in the dormitory, when they saw Zhenxiu walk in and said, "Big sister, can you go out with me and take a look at the surrounding scenery?" ”
Zhen Yuan got up and said: "Now that the temple has gone down the gate, we are unmarried women, this wild and remote place, I am afraid that we dare not walk around." ”
Zhenxiu came over and grabbed Zhenyuan's arm and said, "But on the outskirts of Beijing, there are people outside the temple, what kind of deserted place is it?" Besides, Sister Zhenyu and Miss Dou are also waiting for us outside. ”
Zhenshu saw that she pulled Zhenyuan and left, and hurriedly closed the scriptures and placed them in a high place, and chased them out. She faintly saw the two of them go out of the courtyard in the night light, and hurriedly picked up their skirts and ran a few steps to follow.
Outside the courtyard of this squatter house are full of lily vines, rockeries and rocks, although not by the mountains and rivers, but because of the lush trees, the forest is flourishing, at this time only see the lights everywhere, and can not see where the two of them went.
Zhenshu faintly felt that it was not good, walked up more and more, looked around outside the gate of Guangji Temple, saw that there was no trace, and returned to the outside of the dormitory, and walked along another road to the place where he shot, and saw that the pine and cypress forests were already covered by thick fog, and there were faint human voices in it. Although she was apprehensive in her heart, she also lifted her skirt and pressed her breath, wanting to go inside.
"Isn't this the Yahuan of the Song Mansion?" Suddenly, a woman behind her whispered: "Come here, my girl has something to ask you." ”
Zhenshu turned around and saw that it was the girl ring next to Dou Mingluan, standing on the way with a dead wind lamp in her hand, and a girl in a high uphead and long dress was faintly standing in the night behind her, who was not Dou Mingluan? It's just that Dou Mingluan is here alone, where is Mingyu? said that they were going out for a walk together, why was Dou Mingluan alone at this time?
Zhenshu's heart was full of questions, but he didn't dare to abolish the number of rites, and walked back a few steps to collect blessings and said, "The slave maid has seen Miss Dou." ”
Dou Mingluan didn't speak, and the Binghuai spoke: "Let me ask you, why are the young ladies of your family not in the dormitory, do you know where they went?" ”
Zhenshu shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know either, so I came out to look for it." ”
Only then did Dou Mingluan speak: "Since that's the case, let's look for it together." ”
She took the lead in taking a few steps, following the cold green wind lanterns, and walked towards the pine forest. Zhenshu didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly picked up his skirt and followed.
They had only been walking down the cobblestone path for a short time when they heard the faint sound of tearing clothes and silk in front of them. Zhenshu was hesitant in his heart, and hurried a few steps to cross the cold green and move forward. Although the night was dark, she could tell at a glance that the woman in front of her who was disheveled and panicked was Zhenyuan. And behind Zhenyuan stood a tall man, obviously grabbing her wrist and trying his best not to let her break free.
Zhen Shu was furious, and ran over in a few big strides to kick the man behind Zhen Yuan, and he fell backwards into the full pine needles, and then grabbed Zhen Yuan's hand and asked, "This is the disciple from there, have you ever been lighter than you?" ”
The man fell into a pine tree full of pine needles, Xu was not lightly pricked, and snorted for a while: "Ouch! Dog minion! ”
Dou Mingluan exclaimed, "Brother! How did you end up here? ”
Zhenshu said in his heart: It's strange, it turns out that on that day in Nan'anhou Mansion, Zhenyu and this Dou Keming were two, and the good thing they conspired was to come out here.
She immediately took off the blue shirt she often wore and put it on Zhenyuan, and then said to Dou Mingluan: "Miss Dou, my eldest lady is unwell, I will send her back first, as for today's incident, let's treat it as if it didn't happen, after all, no one has a face when they say it." As for Dou Gongzi, listen well, although our second-room woman in the Song Mansion has no identity and no dowry, she is also an innocent woman from a good family. ”
Dou Keming called the Binghuai to stand up, he couldn't steal it but called a weak woman to kick on his waist, the pain was unbearable at this time, and he said so many cheeky words in Zhenshu, his heart turned into anger with shame, and he spat Xingzi from afar and said: "Self-willing little bitch, I don't look down on you, master, as for your sister, she will be mine sooner or later, you can take a look." ”
Zhen Yuan tugged Zhen Shu's hand and said, "Good sister, let's go quickly." ”
Zhenshu then helped Zhenyuan to go back to the room in the dark, and when they arrived in the room, the two looked at each other, and Zhenyuan hid her face and cried for a while: "If Zhenyu is also repaid, Zhenxiu is also the same as you and me, a mother's womb fell out, although she usually has a vicious mouth, but she has never poisoned me, who knows that she is bent on ruining my temperament and ruining my reputation today......"
Zhenshu couldn't be angry, clenched his fists and got up and said: "You wait, I'll go out to find her, and if I find her, I need to beat her half to death." ”
Zhen Yuan grabbed Zhen Shu's hand and shook his head and said: "Forget it, it is difficult to prevent thieves from doing so, now that such a thing has happened, I only hope that the Hou Mansion will cover this up for the sake of Dou Keming's reputation, I still have a way to live, if they shout out, I am afraid that I can only die to Mingzhi." ”
Zhenshu said angrily: "What are you calling this? He has insulted you, and you have not been punished, but you have to swallow your anger for fear of ruining your reputation. ”
After thinking about it, I found that it was really such a truth. In today's world, Zhu Cheng's science is the shackles on women's bodies, and women's intemperance is a great thing. If a man is asked to thin his hands, he must chop his hands, and if he is thin on his skin, he must scrape the skin to show the festival, and the man who has lost his conscience, not only is no one to be held accountable, but I don't know how many people excuse him everywhere.
The world is like this, what can a girl with small feet do?
The two of them wept relatively well, and they sat in front of the lamp for I don't know how long, and suddenly someone outside looked at the door and said, "Miss Song, my Mrs. Hou is invited!" ”
Zhenshu got up and half-opened the door, and saw that the outside room was cold green who had just held the lamp, and at this time he was still holding the wind lamp in his hand, so he replied: "Cold green girl, my eldest girl has rested, please apologize to Mrs. Hou, and I will go to ask for peace tomorrow morning." ”
After saying that, he was about to close the door, but Leng Lu kicked the door and said: "Not only Miss Song, but also Mrs. Hou, the third girl of Song, is also invited, because it is a matter of the fifth son of my family, please also ask the eldest girl to dress quickly, let's go together." ”
Since she called Zhenshu the third girl, she must have known about tonight's events, but she didn't know whether Mrs. Nahou was going to suppress them or apologize.
Zhen Yuan listened to it in the inner room, and she was already uneasy, so she got up and walked over and said, "Since this is the case, let's go together." ”
Leng Lu took the two of them to the door of the squatter where Mrs. Beishun Marquis lived, and he didn't enter the house, but only glanced at the door a few times, and saw that Dou Mingluan opened the door in person, his face was solemn, and he didn't even say hello, and let the two of them enter the house and get off the door sheath.
Zhenshu took the lead in the inner room, and saw Mrs. Hou Nie sitting on the circle chair, and the first few children, Zhenyu and Zhenxiu were all sitting. She bowed down first and said, "The slave has seen the lady!" ”
Zhang's eyes glared and waved his hand: "Miss Song San is willing to be cheap, but I can't break the etiquette, I can't stand your etiquette, get up." ”
Seeing this, Zhen Yuan also said lightly: "I don't know what Mrs. invited us to do?" ”
Zhang slanted his eyes at Zhen Yuan and sneered, "What's the matter? You seduced my fifth son-in-law, again and again, but you are really kind! ”
When Zhen Yuan heard this, she took two steps back in surprise and said, "Where did Madame hear this......
Zhang glanced at Zhenyu and Zhenxiu, who were sitting, and still sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that your two younger sisters still know some of the etiquette that women should have, and they told me early, I would still be in the dark, and ask you to bring my good son to ruin!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhang slammed the table angrily and pointed at Zhenshu and said: "And you, the local goods from the township, stepped on a large blue spot on my son's waist, if my son told you to step on your waist, I won't peel your skin and smash your face." ”
Zhenyuan had seen Mrs. Hou so angry that she collapsed to the ground in fright, and she hid her face and cried.
Zhenshu was still standing, and he also trembled with anger, and forced his voice to say: "Dare to ask Mrs. Hou, who told you that my sister is seducing your fifth son?" ”
When she said this, her eyes were like knives, and she couldn't stop touching the faces of Zhenyu and Zhenxiu. When the two of them saw this, sure enough, one turned sideways and the other bowed their heads, both of them blushing and refusing to speak. This Zhang Shi was still a little righteous, and asked rhetorically: "If you don't mean to seduce, why did you ask my son out in the middle of the night?" ”
Zhenshu said: "Just now my eldest sister was reading the scriptures in the dormitory, it was my fourth sister who came in to invite the eldest sister to go out to play, saying that the second sister was also Miss Dou in one place, and the eldest sister was relieved to go with her. ”
After listening to this, Zhang hooked his lips and sneered: "You are from a poor rural area, for the sake of the face of the concubine in the palace, I set up a banquet in the Hou Mansion, and I want to find a room for you to be the right person. It's a pity that Zhenyu has already told me exactly what you did about your ugly behavior, and besides, you kicked a blue spot on my son's waist, don't think that you can get away with it, I will report to the government tomorrow, and ask Ying Tianfu to take you to the lobby to take off your pants and big ass, and humiliate you, a native from the countryside. ”
When Zhenshu heard this, he glanced back at Zhenyu, and saw that she was a little embarrassed on her face, and she sat there biting her lip silently, and she didn't know what she had in mind. But at this time, for the sake of Zhenyuan's reputation and his own reputation, he has to argue.
Before Zhenshu could defend herself, she came to two strong mothers-in-law out of nowhere, pushed her forward, pressed her back with both hands, bent her legs on one foot, and forced her to kneel on the ground, and a mother-in-law shouted: "Where is the cheap maid, don't you kneel down in front of Mrs. Hou to reply?" ”
Zhang said: "First slap this frivolous little hoof for me and smash her mouth." ”
Zhenshu struggled with the two mother-in-law's iron hoop-like hands left and right, and saw one of them raise his hand and fan his face, and suddenly lowered his head to dodge, and then tried all his strength to rush into the mother-in-law's arms. She was used to doing rough work in Caijia Temple all year round, and she mixed her strength. And although this mother-in-law is fat and strong, she has been working in the Hou Mansion, where she can have the strength of Zhenshu, and she was knocked to the ground by a Zhenshu at once, and even with another mother-in-law, she was pulled to the ground.
Zhenshu crawled out from under them, and walked a few steps to the knee of Mrs. Zhang of Beishun Marquis and asked, "Dare to ask Madame, who told you that my sister had a private meeting with Dou Gongzi at night?" ”
Zhang's weekdays at home, the slaves and maids were silent when they saw her, telling her to kneel on her legs with cold eyes, and she was even more frightened when she slapped the table. I had seen such a spicy and undisciplined woman there, and when I saw her rushing straight to her feet, she shrank back in fright, shook her finger and said, "You...... You stand back for me! ”
