Chapter 4 Poisonous Hands for Money

Bai Ling thought hard for a long time, and Xiao Yu also slowly recalled in the memory that belonged to Feng Zhaoyu.

Feng Zhaoyu seems to have been sick since he was a child, and every time he sees a doctor and takes medicine, he recovers normally, so he doesn't feel anything wrong when he sees these scenes in his dreams. Anyway, Feng Zhaoyu can't get out of this courtyard, for him, it's just the difference between sitting by the window or lying on the bed.

Bai Ling shook his head in frustration after a moment: "We don't often see the third wife, and the slave really can't remember it." Girl, I'll go to my brother and let him inquire about it. ”

Xiao Yu nodded and instructed, "Let your brother be careful." If you can, you can ask, and if you can't ask about anything, you don't have to force it. ”

Feng San's wife, Zheng, didn't seem to be a good bird, and Xiao Yu didn't want to let Bailing's family suffer for his sake.

"The slave will remind my brother, don't worry, my brother has always been steady and careful, and he will not disappoint the girl." Bailing responded crisply, and Xiao Yu didn't say anything more.

He was a doctor himself, so he could feel that although Feng Zhaoyu's body was a little weak due to lack of exercise, and maybe a little malnourished, it would never reach the point of falling ill often.

Then every time he "gets sick" and recovers quickly, it is very suspicious......

In the courtyard, the third wife, Zheng, was reclining on the beauty couch, with a small wooden box next to her, in which there was a stack of silver tickets and some scattered silver, and Zheng was carefully counting.

"In the past ten years, you have also picked up a lot of money from your eldest brother, why are you still so can't help spending." Feng Yunjiu, the third old man, sat on the side, drank a bowl of tea, smacked his lips, and squinted at Zheng Shidao.

"It's not you yet, you love to be an uncle outside, you are blind and generous, how much money I make can you lose. You don't have a serious entry. Zheng glanced at him with disgust, and frowned again, "More than two thousand taels, that's all there is left." Sister Qing and Sister Tian are now older, and it costs money to read, pen and ink, and all kinds of clothes in rouge and gouache all seasons cost money. This little money didn't last long. ”

"Clothes, rouge, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, don't they all have them in the public? Master, I use the share of the public middle school, but the two of them have to be the first one? Two girls, you are not used to it. ”

Zheng glared at him, "What do you know." What's wrong with the girl, our aunt and grandmother are not girls? Now there is no second one who is richer than her in the entire Huaiqian City, and no one in the Feng Mansion can look at her. Otherwise, the Fang clan and her little can fall into our hands and rub it round and pinch it flat with me? ”

"Hong Qiao said that you drugged Sister Yu again?" Feng San touched his chin, "Even if you want to withdraw the money that the eldest brother sent to the old mansion to raise Sister Yu'er, you don't have to drug her every time, right?" You only said that she was sick and wanted to ask the doctor to spend money on medicine, and took the prescription to pay for it, who could come over to check on you? Her little yard allows you to manage it so well that you can't even fly into it. She's a little person, you always drug her like this, what if something happens? ”

"You and my maid are close to each other, let her tell you everything." Zheng sneered, "Of course you have to do a full set of plays, otherwise if something goes wrong, can you afford it or can I afford it?" Even if something really happened to the little slut, that is, he was buried in the field with a coffin board, and he couldn't even enter the ancestral grave as a little slut. The eldest lady regarded the Fang family and her as a thorn in the flesh, and the eldest brother still sent silver to support them every year, and it had to be put in the warehouse of the public middle school for the housekeeper of the outer courtyard to manage, so that the idlers couldn't touch the money, it was really well-intentioned, didn't this poke the eldest lady's heart? What's more, the eldest lady didn't want her to live in the first place, if it weren't for my mediation, she wouldn't know how many years she had been reincarnated. ”

"You unscrupulous girls." Feng San couldn't listen to it anymore, and stood up with his hands and feet and walked out.

"You don't lack virtue, don't ask me for silver flowers!" Zheng was furious, and threw a pillow casually, "Who let the Fang family do that kind of shameless thing, take the girl as a brat, and she can do it." A merchant girl is a merchant girl, something that cannot be put on the table. ”

Feng San took the pillow and came back and put it away: "It's strange to say, the eldest brother loved the Fang family so much at that time, and he didn't say that he had to give birth to a son." What's more, the Fang clan obviously gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, what a good thing this is, why should she bother to do more? I always felt that there was something strange in it. ”

"As long as you are smart, you know that there is something wrong." Zheng sneered, "Just say these things to me here, if you dare to chew your tongue outside, hum, someone will treat you without me saying it." ”

"Well, I don't care about you women, as long as I have wine to drink, everything is enough. The most poisonous woman's heart, a woman can't touch it. Feng San shook out as he spoke.

Not long after Feng San went out, the door curtain was lifted again, and two flower-like girls walked in with a smile.

Both of them were eleven or twelve years old, born like flowers, dressed in rich and compelling clothes, standing there slim, one quiet and the other lively, and their actions were obviously well-educated, and their bearing was different from that of the other daughters in the old mansion.

"The fifth and sixth girls are here." The little girl who opened the curtain preached with a smile.

"Qing'er, Tian'er, come and sit next to your mother."

Zheng smiled and pulled them to sit on the couch one by one. Feng Zhaotian smiled at the two small pear vortices on his face, and reached out to hold up the red gold jade beads hanging around his neck to show the Zheng family.

"Mother, do you think this Yingluo is good-looking? I just got out of the jewelry box today. The maid in the daughter's room is usually lazy, but today I finally cleaned it up and found such a treasure from the jewelry box. ”

"It's not all my sister who is used to them." Feng Zhaoqing on the side smiled slightly and said helplessly, her eyes looked at the Yingluo, and said: "Good looking is good-looking, but the style is a little old, not as good as the three sisters of the eldest aunt's family, everything is the most fashionable fancy in the capital, and it will never be cliché." ”

She is talking about Feng Zhaolin, the daughter born to Lu and Feng Yunfei, who is also twelve years old this year, but she is older in the month. In front of her, there is a "big girl" Feng Zhaoyu and the second daughter of the second room, Feng Zhaoyue, and Feng Zhaolin is the third in this generation of sisters.

"Where can we compare with the third sister." Feng Zhao pouted sweetly, "She is the pearl of the eldest uncle's palm, and she is the most loved by her aunt, not to mention that the eldest aunt was so famous in the capital back then, who can compare to her?" Now the ladies in the whole capital can't compare to her. As she spoke, her love for that Yingluo faded.

Zheng Shi looked at it carefully and said, "This is still in the box of jewelry that your eldest uncle sent to the old mansion a few years ago, and it is a little old. Your uncle is a man, so how do you know about these jewelry? It's impossible for your aunt to take care of this, and you must just send a mother-in-law to buy these things, and you can just wear the things they buy. When you return to the capital later, my mother will give you ten sets of noodles to Dicuifang, which is no worse than your three sisters. ”

The things that Feng Yunfei sent to the old mansion were naturally given to Feng Zhaoyu, at least in this name, but these things were all worn on the two daughters of the Zheng family in the end.

"When will we be able to return to Beijing...... Feng Zhaotian said sullenly.

Zheng touched her head: "Good girl, my mother knows that I have wronged you, and we must return to Beijing before your sister and Lu." I couldn't help but think about it, there are still two or three years before my eldest daughter and Lu, how can I take advantage of these times to save more money? When she returns to Beijing, I don't know if the Lu family and Feng Yunning will send someone to take over Feng Zhaoyu again, or will they have other ideas? In short, when the time comes, it is none of her business whether Feng Zhaoyu is dead or alive.

Feng Zhaotian seemed to remember something, and became happy again, and said with great interest that she had snatched Feng Zhaoyu's egg custard at noon.

"What are you robbing her of food for?!" Zheng suddenly became nervous, "You dare to eat her food indiscriminately?" You don't want to die?! Thinking that today she had people drugged Feng Zhaoyu's soup, Zheng was even more flustered.

"Sister Tian, you didn't eat it, did you?!"

Feng Zhaotian said impatiently: "Who wants to eat her food?" Pig food is the same. Mother, you don't know, that egg custard was made by the stinky girl in Bailing and asked Aunt Li to make it separately. What is she? Dare to find a big kitchen to order? That Aunt Li is also an eyeless thing, she usually takes the benefits given by her mother, but now that she sees that Bailing's brother has gained momentum, she wants to climb another high branch, and she dares to cook something for that slut to eat. ”

When Zheng heard this, he relieved himself and patted his chest with a sigh of relief.

"Sister, you are really, what is a bowl of egg custard, what are you robbing her?" Feng Zhaoqing glanced at her sister and complained.

"Sister, you're the one who doesn't know." Feng Zhaotian said disdainfully, "A bowl of egg custard is indeed nothing, but she just isn't qualified to eat it." This has nothing to do with custard, it has something to do with duty. She shouldn't have eaten it if she snatched it back and poured it, she had to let her know her identity. ”

Feng Zhaoqing smiled when she heard this, and stopped talking.

Zheng laughed twice: "Sister Tian is right. This is what your aunt and aunt are asking for, but we don't want to do it on purpose. My mother has to do a good job, and I will be able to straighten my waist when I return to the capital in the future, and after you two sisters return to the Fengfu in the capital, no one will look down on you. ”

Feng Zhaotian proudly wrapped around the veil, thought of something again, and said with annoyance: "Mother, that girl in Bailing has become more and more arrogant recently, and she has the same heart as the one in the small courtyard, she has to find a way to cure her, otherwise she will not know more and more that the sky is thick and the earth is thick." ”

Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Don't worry about that girl, her brother is very spoiled now, and the little great-grandson of the eldest lady can't leave him for a moment." Anyway, no matter how much she jumps, she can't turn the sky, but she is in a lot of trouble. Listen to my mother, just ignore her. ”

Feng Zhaotian nodded reluctantly.

said that Bai Ling was instructed by Xiao Yu to go to her brother Ah Cang to inquire about Mrs. Feng San. A few days later, Ah Cang finally asked someone to call her outside the door of the weeping flowers. The brother and sister went back to their original residence in the inverted room in the outer courtyard. Bai Ling opened the doors and windows, looked around the neighborhood again, and didn't see anyone else, so he came back and pulled his brother and asked urgently: "Brother, have you heard anything?" ”

Ah Cang scratched his hair with some embarrassment, looked at Bai Ling and said, "I heard it." But ......"

"But what is it? Don't spit out, hurry up and sue me. Bai Ling had always been impatient with his brother's Wen Tun and urged.

Ah Cang sighed: "Sister, I said don't be angry, there is something to discuss, don't be impulsive." ”

Bai Ling said impatiently: "Alas, I know, you are really annoying, hurry up." ”

Ah Cang slowly told what he had inquired about.

It turned out that Feng San and his wife did not come with Feng Zhaoyu to Huaiqian, but when Feng Zhaoyu was five years old, they returned to their old house from the capital, and they came back to take care of Feng Zhaoyu under the order of their eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Before they came back, Feng Zhaoyu's father, Feng Yunfei, sent back a large amount of silver every year, and the third old lady arranged for it to be put into the account in the account of the public middle school to take care of Feng Zhaoyu and the Fang family's daily life. Because the silver was managed by the account room in the outer courtyard, it required a more cumbersome procedure to withdraw this part of the silver taels, and Feng Yunfei's move was probably to ensure that the silver could be used for the Fang family and Feng Zhaoyu.

"It turns out that the eldest master doesn't completely ignore our girl." Bai Ling was stunned.

Ah Cang didn't say anything about this, and continued: "Originally, Aunt Fang and the eldest girl didn't need much silver, but the eldest master sent silver over every year, and it is said that more than three thousand taels of silver have been accumulated in the account. But when the third lady came, it didn't take long for the money to be withdrawn from the account. ”

"What? Why did she withdraw our girl's money? That's all our girl's! Bai Ling's eyes were red with anxiety.

Ah Cang hurriedly reassured: "I said that you should not be in a hurry, and I know that you are going to be angry, alas." ”

Bai Ling took two deep breaths: "You answer!" ”

Ah Cang's current master is the little great-grandson of the eldest lady's love for ten minutes, and the little young master can be said to be the stars holding the moon in the big house, and he is the first favored person in front of the little young master, so he has no trouble finding out about these things in the back house, and someone has brought all the news to him. What's more, he checked the third old lady's room, and the subordinates on the eldest lady's side had no reason to cover up the ugliness of the people in the third room, so he almost checked what the third lady had done.

"Since the third lady came, you girls seem to be sick often, and every time you ask the doctor to take medicine, you spend more money every time. In this way, the third lady withdrew all the money from your girl's account one by one. Ah Cang said, "Your girl is still young, and Aunt Fang is locked up in the family temple, so no one carefully checks this account, some people know that there is a problem, and they must think that more is better than less, and they don't want to offend the third wife and the eldest lady for no reason, so no one mentions the cattiness." I asked our young master, and he said that even if you girls eat dragon liver and phoenix gall, you can't eat so much silver. ”

Ah Cang said and sighed. The third lady is greedy for money, but every time she makes the eldest girl "sick", she goes to withdraw the money in the name of asking a doctor for medicine. How can there be such a coincidence? It can be seen how strange the eldest girl's "illness" is every time.

Even an honest person like Ah Cang feels that it is too deceitful, not to mention that Bailing is a hot person, and she has always been interested in Feng Zhaoyu?

Bai Ling was already trembling with anger, and he circled around the room twice, his eyes looked at the broom behind the door and the teapot on the table, so frightened that Ah Cang hugged his sister.

"Sister, you can't be impulsive, I tell you that these are not for you to go desperately with the third wife, where can you move the third wife. If you are really angry, you will take care of you girls more carefully in the future. No matter what, the third wife is also the master, you are a slave, if you beat her, she can kill you! ”

"Who said I'm going to hit her." Bai Ling broke away from Ah Cang and grabbed his hair irritably, "I'm just angry because I can't do anything!" Won't you let that poisonous woman bully our girl like this in the future?! She wanted to drugged our girl's soup two days ago! Fortunately, our girl found out, so I didn't fall for her poisoning scheme. ”

Ah Cang also frowned and sighed in embarrassment. These slaves themselves can't help themselves, and the deeds of sale are in the hands of others, and girls like my sister who want to protect her master are probably beyond their power in the eyes of others.

Bai Ling had calmed down, looked at the door in a daze for a moment, and then turned around and instructed Ah Cang: "Regardless of the rest, this time I finally found out the news that the girl wants to hear, I will go back and tell the girl first." Brother, you hurry back to the little master, and you will serve the little master well in the future, so that he will always like you. There are too many bad people in this world, and the little master can always protect you. ”

Ah Cang's face turned red, and he said: "He's still a child, how can my brother let him protect him." ”

"What's wrong with the child, the child will one day grow into a big man who stands up to the sky. Three-year-old looks old, the little master is amazing. Bai Ling glared at her brother, "Your good days are ahead, don't be confused, if you let others squeeze your seat down, see how I treat you then." Hurry up and go back, don't let the little master wait too long. ”

After Bai Ling finished speaking, he staggered back to the small courtyard where she and Feng Zhaoyu lived.
