Chapter 159: False accusations
After Mo Daya was poisoned, her body was weak, and after drinking the decoction, she took Mo Xiaohe's hand and said a few words, and then fell asleep, leaving Mo Xiaohe alone in embarrassment. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only one empty room, the bed is occupied by her cousin Mo Daya, now it is dark, by nightfall, she is not leaving, nor is she staying.
"Husband, if we go to the shop, what if my cousin calls someone in the middle of the night?"
Lang Zhong said that with the ingredient of sleeping in the decoction, you must sleep at least until dawn tomorrow, but if Mo Daya wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to go to Xiaojie, there must be someone around to help her, there is only one bed in the house, Mo Xiaohe stays, and he has to lay on the floor.
"No, it's too damp on the rainy day."
The floor of the medical hall is paved with a layer of green bricks, which has been a long time, and there is a thick layer of mud on it, and the room is blocked by the front shop, which is easy for moisture to enter the body. Gu Zheng quickly vetoed his own lady's proposal.
"What then?"
Mo Xiaohe has a headache, she is busy today, Gu Zheng is inconvenient for a man in the house, and she must avoid suspicion, she should ask a mother-in-law who lives nearby to take care of her, and then give some wages. It's getting late, the people around her are going to bed early, and the lights are out in every house, where is she going to find someone?
"Otherwise, I'll use a few chairs in the house to build a bed and deal with it for one night, husband, you go back to the iron shop or find Feng Dachun, anyway, he is alone."
Two days ago, the husband and wife returned to the village, not in the town, Feng Dachun ran away, he stayed in the blacksmith shop to help, chopping wood and burning fire, he found a job, and sent firewood to almost all the solid people around him every day.
A few copper plates per household, Chai He cut in the nearby mountains, he bought a four-wheel wheelbarrow, and the rest has no cost, just to earn a silver for running errands, running a few more times a day, accumulating a lot, and earning enough for his daily expenses.
Feng Dachun is kind-hearted, he was lucky when he was chopping wood, he hit a pheasant, and carried it to the door, just when Mo Xiaohe and his wife were not there, the chicken legs all went into Li He's stomach.
"No, I just went back to the blacksmith to get the carriage, and we stayed in the carriage."
In this way, if Mo Daya wakes up, Gu Zheng has a shallow sleep, and he can also hear the movement, otherwise there are two women in the yard, Gu Zheng can't rest assured, although it is a peaceful year, it is inevitable that there will be chickens and dogs.
"That's a good idea!"
On the return trip from Kyoto, there was no less carriage all the way, Mo Xiaohe clapped her hands, and praised Gu Zheng for being considerate, she simply scrubbed, and found that all the boxes and cages that she had turned over before the car were neatly placed, the bedding was laid, and the incense to repel mosquitoes was lit, and a word suddenly popped up in her mind, "virtuous".
Tossing for most of the day, Mo Xiaohe was exhausted, she leaned on Gu Zheng's chest, her hand unconsciously plucked his chest hair, wandering out of the world, her cousin's life was too hard, what should she do next? It's not impossible to arrange it in her house, or the road in the mountains is steep, and Mo Daya can't go up, so she can't let her husband carry it, right?
No one in the Mo family is there, and the only acquaintances in the town are cousin Li He and Feng Dachun, these two have something in common, they are both singles, and they can't be under the same roof for the sake of their cousin's name.
Gu Zheng lowered his head, looking at the little tender hand that was stroking his chest, the fire in his body was rubbing, he couldn't accept such a teasing, those little hands made his heart itch, and in the courtyard of the medical hall, he couldn't make any movements, which made him extremely tormented in his heart, and his facial lines were even more cold and hard.
"Husband, my cousin said that my eldest uncle's mother's family doesn't care at all, I dislike her brain in water, and I don't enjoy the glory and wealth, so I have to marry a wild man who messes with the widow."
Mo Xiaohe made another difficulty, Mo Daya's situation, someone must take care of it, after giving birth and being affected, the body is in a bad deficit, Lang Zhong said that he must use good medicinal materials to make up, otherwise he will be a sick seedling in the future, and it will last for three or five years at most.
"Or ask a mother-in-law to take care of her."
Gu Zheng saw that the little hands finally left his chest, and he just breathed a sigh of relief, but found that Mo Xiaohe had already touched his lower body dishonestly, and her expression was very serious, by no means *.
Enduring the increasing heat on his body, Gu Zheng tried his best to regulate himself, he took a deep breath, and continued, "After all, she was expelled from the clan, and it is not good for the Mo family to find justice for her publicly." ”
Mo Daya is pregnant before marriage, in this era, it is the biggest stain, if the Mo family is tough, the old pious woman of the Li family will definitely make trouble Everyone knows, and the Mo family is the mother of the queen's mother, the most concerned about reputation, it is impossible to be with the general knowledge of the broken household, the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, if the Li family is really open, it is also difficult to do.
"Then they kill people and kill people, so forget it?"
Mo Xiaohe slowly calmed down after the initial excitement, thinking about it, what his husband said is very reasonable, no matter how reluctant the uncle and the eldest uncle are to give up their cousin, they will also focus on the overall situation, a daughter who has been removed from the clan and married is not so important.
"Of course not."
Gu Zheng frowned, if there is no Mo family behind the promotion, the lawsuit is very difficult to fight, as a daughter-in-law to honor her in-laws, it is a matter of course, how many people have been tortured by her mother-in-law, and I have not seen anyone who is stubborn to sue the official, her mother's family is powerful, and she will definitely come to the door to ask for an explanation, and those who treat their daughters as items in exchange for bride price, I am afraid they will ignore it.
It is very difficult to find evidence of this deadly white poison umbrella, if the old Qianpo and Li Er do not admit it, there is no witness, just because Mo Daya was poisoned, it is impossible to determine who caused this poison, and it may be slandered.
"Yes, that old woman is the most shameless, and she can definitely do it with a rake."
Mo Xiaohe thought so, the more she thought about it, the more complicated it became, she patted her head and asked Gu Zheng, "What about eating babies?" ”
It cannot be expected that people of this age will not be superstitious, if it is an accidental miscarriage and the baby is lost, this deliberate attempt to kill the child in the womb of a pregnant woman is not only a damage to yin morality, but a deliberate murder! That's a human life.
"Investigate secretly, it's best to bite the old pious woman out of other people's mouths."
Gu Zheng had a plan in his heart, let them eat the dog, a mouthful of hair, and finally make trouble in the court, which was known to everyone, which involved the backyard of the prefect, presumably the county master would be able to deal with it impartially.
Zhan Zhi County and the Mo family have a feud and have been cleaned up, the newly opened Zhi County is a sleek, does not leak a drop of water, holds the attitude of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, handles official business every day, and often dozes off.
"If this is the best, it will save people from thinking that my Mo family is deliberately bullying people."
Mo Xiaohe yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned sideways, and soon let out a well-proportioned breath.
Seeing that his wife was asleep, Gu Zheng was pardoned, so he hurriedly ran to the bathroom on the carriage and showered with cold water, but he didn't dare to make a big move, disturbing Mo Xiaohe's sleep, and it was very hard.
Mo Xiaohe, who was still sleepy just now, suddenly sat up, listened to the faint sound of water inside, and laughed like a stealing cat, life is not easy, it all depends on acting skills, what did he say in the morning, carrying her on her back and the weight of a wild boar is about the same, hum, this revenge is not avenged, not a little woman!
In the bathroom, Gu Zheng sneezed twice for no reason, he seemed to hear laughter, and after thinking about it, his own lady was asleep, he must have heard it wrong. After washing up, he was sure again that everything just now was an illusion.
The sleeping ingredient in the decoction played a role, Mo Daya slept until dawn, her complexion improved, not the dead gray who was just sent to the hospital yesterday and was not popular, she pulled Mo Xiaohe and chattered, although for the sake of the child in the womb, she still married Li Er, but she was expelled from the clan, and she was destined to have no mother's family to rely on in the future, she was not sad, she had not slept well for a long time.
"Xiaohe, you and your husband don't have to stay here."
I heard that my cousin slept in the carriage for a night, Mo Daya was moved and guilty, but she is now penniless, Mo Xiaohe can't look down on her things, and she can't get the craftsmanship, so she can only put gratitude in her heart, thinking that if her cousin can use her in the future, she will definitely go to the soup and fire, and she will not give up!
"Cousin, you still recuperate with peace of mind, although the poison is resolved, there are still remnants in your body, and by the way, you will also recuperate your body."
It's not the same thing to live in the hospital for a long time, and Mo Daya went to the yamen and broke with the Li family completely, so she had to find a place to live and settle down, otherwise she would be alone and have nowhere to go, and in the future, the clan would move, Mo Daya could not follow, in this life, at most, she could only stay in the town, and she meant that she did not plan to remarry in the future.
"Don't live in the hospital, you have to give money, if you can save some, save some."
Mo Daya sighed and told Mo Xiaohe that she had a small yard in the town, and no one knew about this property.
"The night before I got married, my mother called me over, cried and handed it to me, she secretly twisted two sets of solid gold-headed noodles given by the general's wife, and changed a set of small courtyards, I was afraid that the Li family would embarrass me in the future, and I had nowhere to go, and told me to keep an eye on it and don't tell anyone."
Mo Daya wiped her tears, the key has been hanging around her neck, strung with a red rope, she didn't take it seriously before, she felt that as long as she could give birth to a son, she had so much dowry, compared to the above, more than the bottom, at least she could have no worries about food and clothing, who knew that she was a ghost and got on the thief ship.
"The world is unpredictable."
I heard that my cousin has a property, Mo Xiaohe deeply admires the shrewdness of her eldest aunt, although the eldest aunt likes to calculate, but she really plans for her children, and if she has a residence, the rest of the things will be better solved.
"The ten taels of silver you stuffed to me last time were put in the rat hole by me, and they still exist, and they don't know where it is."
Mo Daya was fed up with the pain of being penniless, the last time the two were separated in the teahouse, Mo Xiaohe gave her ten taels of silver, and she carefully hid it as her own life-saving money in case of emergency.
"Cousin, Lang Zhong has prescribed medicine, you have to drink it for at least a month, why don't we go to the yard left by the eldest aunt to recuperate."
Mo Xiaohe said the result of her discussion with Gu Zheng, and heard that she had to ask her mother-in-law to take care of her, Mo Daya waved her hand again and again, boiled a medicine, she can do it herself, and she is not a noble body, so she can't pretend to be a big lady at this time.
As the sun rises, the moist soil in the courtyard dries up. After the day was too bright, there were many more people queuing up to see a doctor in the medical hall, and there were a few little medicine boys walking around, and Mo Daya also felt inconvenient and insisted on leaving.
Gu Zheng was very familiar with the town, according to the address Mo Daya said, they passed by a market, and the small courtyard left by the eldest aunt was in an alley behind the market.
The small courtyard is half-new, two rooms, a utility room, and a thatched-roof stove outside, the courtyard has been cleaned and clean, only a few leaves have been knocked down by the rainstorm.
After Mo Xiaohe got out of the carriage, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, and before he had time to think about it, he was blocked by someone.
Feng Dachun pushed a small cart, with a cloth towel around his neck, wiping his sweat with a cloth towel casually, and when he saw Gu Zheng and Mo Xiaohe, a smile appeared on his honest face, "Brother Gu, sister Xiaohe, are you coming to me?" ”
He went to the surrounding mountains to chop wood before dawn early in the morning, the market is good today, and he earned forty or fifty yuan, don't underestimate these copper plates, add up to a lot, if there is such a business every day, it is more than one or two silver a month, which is several times more than the guys in the store.
I heard that in the afternoon, a family in Dongcheng recruited people to repair the house, half a day fifty yuan, and took care of a meal, Feng Dachun felt that it was a good errand, and was about to go home to deliver the cart, and then rushed to the staff to work.
Mo Xiaohe suddenly realized, she said that she had been here, it was raining on the day she came, and she didn't look carefully, Feng Dachun's house was in the corner inside, only a few steps away from her cousin's yard.
"Da Chun, are you done with it?"
Gu Zheng and Feng Dachun were familiar with each other, and seeing that they didn't need his help here, they took the initiative to avoid it, while Mo Xiaohe nodded and took his cousin directly into the courtyard.
It seems that it has not been cleaned for more than half a year, a layer of dust has been piled up in the house, and the furniture is furnished, as long as it is cleaned, the bed and quilt can be built.
Mo Xiaohe rolled her eyes, her husband was not there, her cousin was a sick number, she was the only coolie, she was fetching water in the backyard and helping with cleaning, Mo Daya wanted to get started, but she stopped her.
Of course, Gu Zheng would not be careless, he was reluctant to work for his own wife, so he gave Feng Dachun another neighbor's aunt fifty copper plates, and asked her to bring her daughter-in-law over to help sprinkle and sweep, so Mo Xiaohe quickly had a helper. "Cousin, I really envy you, although your husband is ugly, but I feel sorry for you."
Mo Daya moved a small bench and basked in the sun in a not too dazzling place, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that Gu Zheng found did the work quickly, and the daughter-in-law was afraid that her mother-in-law would be tired and needed to climb high, so she took the initiative to take it all.
How did she take this? Mo Xiaohe coughed twice, he was distressed, he was distressed, can he remove the word ugly, Mo Xiaohe always has an illusion, born in Dawu, if he is ugly, he will have nothing to love.
There is a cold pot and a cold stove in the stove room, there is nothing, Mo Daya always has to eat, Mo Xiaohe is thinking about buying some daily necessities, the focus is on the small jar of boiling medicine, and two must be prepared.
"Cousin, I see that the man with the cart is an acquaintance of my brother-in-law?"
Listening to the accent is a little strange, unlike the locals, Mo Daya loves gossip and asked casually.
"Well, it's a coincidence, he lives not far from you, a few dozen paces."
Feng Dachun is not a local, he is not a native of Dawu at all, he is from Dayue, Mo Xiaohe briefly talked about his relationship with Feng Dachun, as well as his bumpy experience.
"It's no wonder that you are disheartened and go away, it's really hard to be a good person!"
Mo Daya sympathized with Feng Dachun, and then smiled bitterly, she seemed to be even more unlucky, she almost lost her life, what qualifications did she have to sympathize with others.
The two chatted for an hour, and after an hour, the house became bright and clean, the Korean paper was replaced by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the weeds in the backyard were cleaned up, and they only needed to buy some things to live in.
These Gu Zheng thought of it in advance, and grabbed Feng Dachun to be a coolie, listening to the meaning of his own lady, firewood, rice, oil and salt, fresh fruits and vegetables, teapots, tea bowls, pots and pans, and bought a few pots of flowers as decorations.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law helped to set up the position, Mo Xiaohe went out again, bought bedding, gauze tents, mosquito coils, bath beans, and some women's uses, bits and pieces, all neatly arranged, so busy work, it was time for the next day.
Mo Xiaohe saw that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were working neatly and were not lazy, and she was about to discuss with the two of them, give more money, take care of her cousin for a few days, help with laundry, cooking, boiling medicine, and live in another room at night.
"Xiaohe, I heard that you are here, hurry up, find a place to hide first, the official is looking for you and your brother-in-law everywhere!"
Li He was sweating profusely, and ran to ventilate the news, the old Qianpo and Li Er ran out to sue the official, falsely accusing Gu Zheng and Mo Xiaohe of trespassing into the house, and also injured people, and the government sent a arrester to find someone to ask about the situation.
Entering the yamen, Mo Xiaohe was lonely, and the mother and son of the Li family were not fuel-efficient lamps, so he suggested avoiding it and waiting for the Mo family to come back.
