096 The Wicked Have Their Own Wicked Mill (1)
It was quiet for two days.
On the third day, Xia Chengxiang got the news out of nowhere and hurried to Yanghuai Hutong.
Yan Xia invited him into the living room, served tea, and said with a smile, "The old man and his wife went to Wukeshu to visit the old man and the old lady of the in-laws, and then sent someone to deliver a message, saying that they would go to the temple with the eldest aunt and the third aunt to offer incense and linger in the temple for two days." ā
also vaguely mentioned, "The aunt's wife said that the temple's son-seeking Guanyin is very effective......"
Xia Chengxiang smiled, "That's going to take two more days, and add two little brothers to Eleven Niang." ā
"Cheng Wu Old Man's auspicious words." Yan Xia also laughed.
After leaving for dinner, Xia Chengxiang said goodbye and walked out of Yanghuai Hutong and went to the prison for a while.
Xia Chengle couldn't help but complain bitterly when he saw him, although Xia Chengxiang didn't like Xia Chengle's style, but he couldn't bear to see Xia Chengle's red and swollen buttocks, and took his own silver to dot the jailer, saying that when Xia Chenghe came back, he would help to say something, but only this time, Xia Chengle would do something sorry for the third room in the future, and he would never care about it again.
Xia Chengle was naturally very grateful, and raised his hand to say that he would never go against Sanfang in the future! The attitude was very sincere, Xia Chengxiang smiled with satisfaction.
When Xia Chengxiang left, Huang came to see him with medicine, Xia Chengle told him about it, and Huang was very happy, "If there is one more person to help talk, the third brother and third sister-in-law will agree faster." ā
Xia Chengle thought the same thing, and the couple were very happy, and even the Huang's boiled black dishes tasted a little more delicious.
The family is in a mess because of the Huang family's unauthorized assertion, and there are those who are in favor of calling people back, after all, Xia Chengle has already been folded in, and then the Huang family is also folded in, who will take care of the children in the fourth room? There are those who disapprove of calling people back, which means that Xia Chengle is about to die, and let the Huang family give him a good ride, which also fulfills the love of husband and wife.
The former represents Mrs. Qiao and Xia Hongxia, and the latter is only Xia Fangfei.
Old Man Xia has always crossed his legs, sat on the kang and smoked, and was silent about the disputes between women.
Yang Deshi wanted to interject several times, but was blocked by Old Man Xia's cold gaze.
Master Fan and Shopkeeper Liu didn't act for the time being because of the words of Yanxia.
After two days of quiet like this, the third room came back.
Because Aunt Luo's house was too far away, Eleven Niang made the decision and persuaded Aunt Luo to follow her to live in Yanghuai Hutong for one night, and then return to Crooked Neck Tree Hutong tomorrow.
When he got home, it was already dark, and Yan Xia lit all the lanterns in the yard, beckoning Aunt Luo's family to come into the house to rest, and Huichun and Wanfu and Wanbao who were in the car were busy unloading the things on the car and putting them in the warehouse.
Eleven Niang hugged the sleeping little twelve back to the room, Banniang rubbed her confused eyes and followed behind, Er Niang and San Niang stepped on the stool and got out of the carriage with a sleepy expression, but they still remember to look behind them twice, and shouted, "Cousin Yu, Cousin Yue......"
Erniang and Sanniang are twins, only one month older than the Zhao family's Yue cousin.
Coincidentally, the two cousins of the Zhao family have a gentle temperament, and they are very similar to Erniang and Sanniang.
The cousin and the dead man affectionately held hands and entered Tinghexuan, Yanxia was busy cleaning up the west side of Tinghexuan for Aunt Luo and his wife for one night, cleaning up a guest room in the outer courtyard and Zhao Rongxing, boiling hot water, and sending a basin to each room for them to wash.
After some tossing, when the lantern was extinguished and it was time to fall asleep, it was already two more moments old.
Eleven Niang didn't go back to her room, put away Little Twelve, and slept with Banniang.
On the second day, Luo got up early to make breakfast, Aunt Luo helped add firewood, and the sisters talked and laughed in the kitchen, which made Master Fan, who got up early in the morning to make breakfast, startled.
"Master Fan, breakfast will be ready soon, I'll ask Yan Xia to send it to you in a while."
Master Fan responded with a smile, turned around and went to see Xia Chenghe, Xia Chenghe smiled, "I came back too late yesterday, so I didn't inform you." ā
He and Master Fan introduced Zhao Shouwang again, and the three of them laughed and talked in the main room.
Yan Xia took hot water to Erniang, Sanniang's house, and went to Eleven Niang's place, Ba Niang got up early to go to the back garden because of learning martial arts with Huichun, but Xiao Twelve was still sleeping, her red face was like a red apple, and the eleventh Niang's heart was soft.
Yan Xia put a basin of water, put the handkerchief in the hot water and wet it, twisted it and handed it to Eleven Niang, "Girl, then the Huang family lives in a ruined place not far from us, but you want to hand over the news of the old lady's return?" ā
Eleven Niang took the handkerchief, covered her face, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Well, hand it out." ā
"Master, where ......" Yan Xia was a little hesitant, and Eleven Niang smiled, "My father's personality ...... Do things that can't be saved if you don't come to see death. What's more......" Eleven Niang threw the handkerchief into the basin, stretched out her hand and stroked the warm water on her face, and smiled at Yan Xia again, her eyes were full of cunning, "Keep Xia Chengle, the old house will be more lively." ā
Yan Xia was slightly stunned, "Girl, this is ......"
"You'll understand." Shi Niang smiled and said nothing.
Yan Xia didn't ask anymore.
After the eleventh mother finished dressing, she kissed the little twelve red and glamorous face, "Little fool, it is a good sleep." ā
Went out of the house with Yanxia.
When it was time to eat, I found that the tiger head of Aunt Luo's family was still sleeping.
After the family had eaten, rested for a while, and talked some gossip, Aunt Luo and Zhao Shouwang got up to say goodbye, Xia Chenghe and Luo sent people out of the alley, and instructed Huichun to drive them back to the crooked neck tree alley in the northwest corner of Qingshui Town.
Huang was holding the boiled decoction and preparing to go to the prison, when he saw Xia Chenghe and Luo's figures, he ran over excitedly holding the medicine jar, "His third uncle, third sister-in-law!" ā
The sound is extremely exciting!
Xia Chenghe and Luo were both stunned.
What is she here for?
On second thought, how could she be here in the early morning?
"You're back...... Huang ran fast, for fear that the two would suddenly disappear
, for fear that the two of them would suddenly disappear, and when they got closer, they held the medicine jar in one hand and the corner of Luo's clothes in the other, "Third sister-in-law!" You're back......"
There was a slight choking in his voice, and his eyes turned red when he said that he was red.
Roche was taken aback, what did you say? Okay, why are you crying?
She went to see Xia Chenghe, and Xia Chenghe was also inexplicable.
Zhao Shouwang and Aunt Luo, who hadn't left yet, were also a little confused when they saw this scene, but they reacted very quickly, "Her fourth aunt, it's cold, what do you have to say at home." ā
Jumped out of the car, took Huang's arm and walked towards the alley. While giving his sister a look.
Huang struggled, and wanted to say it here, but when he raised his eyes and saw the Cui family probing his brain at the mouth of the alley, he was busy, and walked quickly into the alley and into the courtyard with Aunt Luo.
Xia Chenghe and Luo looked at each other.
Zhao Shouwang was also a little confused, glanced at his son, and got out of the car with the tiger's head.
Xia Chenghe accompanied the father and son back to the courtyard.
Banniang, Erniang, and Sanniang enthusiastically pulled the two cousins of the Zhao family back again.
"Mother, let's go back too, and see what the fourth aunt wants to do with you and your father?" Eleven Niang took Luo's arm.
Luo Shi and Eleven Niang whispered, "What do you say she is doing?" It looks like I've spent the night here......"
Eleven Niang shook her head and didn't know.
Luo Zhi frowned, and said with a cold face, "She dares to do anything crooked, see if I don't fight with her!" ā
Hearing Huang's explanation of his intentions and begging them to talk to Master Fan and Shopkeeper Liu, Luo couldn't help but have a cold face.
Xia Chenghe also said that they couldn't help with this.
Huang threw the medicine jar and knelt down, "His father and I know that we didn't do it right, we shouldn't have stolen Master Fan's recipe to open our own shop, but we didn't expect Master Fan to sell the recipe to Fanghua Pavilion?" His third uncle, third sister-in-law, you are Master Fan's owner, and you have such a good relationship with the young master of the Su family, if you say a word, they will definitely not pursue it, and my man can release it......"
Hearing her talk like this, Roche was angry, they stole things quietly, took them to open a shop and didn't say anything, they were sued, and they came to them for favors after a lawsuit, why?!
"Her fourth aunt, you don't have to kneel, we can't help with this." Luo Che had a cold face, and opened his mouth to refuse directly, "We are sorry for Master Fan's family, and I can't say anything to plead!" As for the young master of the Su family, you also know that our eleventh mother had an incident in their Su family's gambling house at that time, and our three rooms had already drawn a clear line with the Su family! We can't say anything about this, so you might as well find another way. ā
The attitude is very resolute.
Xia Chenghe looked stern and nodded in agreement.
They are already sorry for Master Fan, how can they still open their mouths to beg Master Fan.
Huang's face turned pale and he sat down on the ground.
If Luo only talked about Master Fan, she could still put the fault on Xia Hongxia, saying that if it weren't for Xia Hongxia, Master Fan's family would not be sold, and what would happen! However, the Su family gambling house, Eleven Niang, that was done by Erlang! What does she say?
Aunt Luo sighed beside her, it is still possible to live in the sky, and it is evil to do it yourself...... Don't live!
Luo got up and looked at Yan Xia and Hui Chun, "Send her fourth aunt out, don't delay her work......"
"Third sister-in-law! You can't see death without saving it......" Huang Shi pounced violently, hugged Luo's legs, and screamed bitterly, "The eldest man beat my man for twenty boards, his ass was rotten, and he almost died in prison, if you don't save him, he will die...... Third sister-in-law, I beg you to show mercy and save my man! I'll never do anything wrong with you again, and I'll never speak ill of you behind your back again...... You can't die without saving you......"
Xia Chenghe's face changed greatly, and he stood up from the chair suddenly, "What's the matter?" You, you make it clear, what's wrong with the fourth? What do you mean that your ass was beaten and you almost died in prison? ā
Roche's face also changed, the grievances of the two families belong to the grievances of the two families, but human lives are involved......
When Huang saw Xia Chenghe talking, he hurriedly wiped his tears and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, saying that when the old man Xia took the silver to make the county master and only saved Xia Chengping out, he gritted his teeth and hated, his eyes were red, as if he wanted to fight hard with Xia Chengping, "The shop is opened by our two partners, and it can be for the fame of that bullshit showman, that old man is immortal...... The old man saw that my man had a fever and people were blurred, and he didn't even say anything about asking a doctor to take a look, they wanted to make my man die and take a sin for it, so that he could clean up the big house! Bah! If it weren't for the fact that my man had a big life, he held on to his breath and saved his life with the wine of the cell boss, and he might have ...... by now."
Huang's expression can't deceive people.
Luo and Xia Chenghe were silent all of a sudden.
What the couple staggered in front of them was the scene where Xia Erlang deceived Eleven Niang to the gambling house and almost lost her life......
Huang seemed to see the shadow in the hearts of the husband and wife, "I know that we have done a lot of things to be sorry for the third room before, I promise!" Never again, Erlang also suffered retribution, although his leg is better, but when it is cold, his leg will be lame when he walks......"
Xia Chenghe's eyes looked at Roche.
Luo Zhi hung his head, as if he didn't see Xia Chenghe's gaze.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Eleven Niang sat quietly on the side, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and the gentle collision between the tea lid and the tea cup was particularly clear in the quiet room.
Luo looked up to look at his daughter, and Xia Chenghe also looked at his daughter.
Eleven Niang lowered her head, as if she didn't realize it.
Huang seemed to notice something, let go of Luo and threw himself at the feet of Shi Niang, and was about to hug Shi Niang's leg, but Luo Shi shouted, "Don't touch my daughter!" ā
Huang was startled and didn't dare to move.
Luo took a few quick steps, blocked in front of Huang, and looked at her condescendingly, his eyes defensive.
Eleven Niang gently tugged at the hem of Luo's clothes, "Mother, I'm fine." Fourth uncle
Affair. Although the fourth uncle is not reliable, he will not sin to death......"
Luo's gaze was a little painful, "Eleven Niang ......"
Xia Chenghe smiled with relief, but there was distress on his face that he couldn't hide.
Aunt Luo sighed, got up to Luo's side, patted her sister's hand, and lowered her voice, "It's a matter of human life, you can't be like them, be the one who can't be saved......
Luo's mouth was bitter, looking at Aunt Luo's persuasive gaze, looking at the faint smile on her daughter's face and the half-pleading and half-tangled look on her husband's face, half-ringing, and nodded.
Huang was ecstatic, threw himself on the ground and kowtowed to Luo twice, "Thank you third sister-in-law, thank you third sister-in-law, thank you third sister-in-law!" ā
Luo Shi turned his head away, Eleven Niang hugged Luo's arm and laughed at her, Luo touched her daughter's head, relieved and distressed.
Xia Chenghe breathed a sigh of relief and immediately left, "I'll go find Master Fan and Shopkeeper Liu's ......"
"Dad, I'll go with you." Eleven Niang also got up from her chair.
Eleven Niang is familiar with Shopkeeper Liu, and he can talk better than him, Xia Chenghe nodded hurriedly.
Zhang Luo Huang again, "You also go with us, and if you should apologize, apologize, this is not the time to take Qiao." ā
Huang wiped his snot and tears and nodded again and again.
Aunt Luo bent down to help her up, and she thanked her repeatedly.
Seeing that the three of them hurriedly went to the courtyard opposite Tinghe Xuan, Luo Che sighed and sat back on the chair, "What is this!" ā
Aunt Luo and Zhao Shouwang glanced at each other, sighed, and walked over to comfort Luo, "Brother-in-law has always been a kind-hearted, you ......"
Luo shook his head and interrupted Aunt Luo's words, "I just feel sorry for my eleventh mother, I suffered such a big crime, and I was almost killed by the people in the fourth room, why do we want to help the fourth room, but if we don't save it, it is a human life...... IāI'm in a panic ...... my heart."
Aunt Luo was speechless for a while, sighed in her heart, and hugged her sister.
Xia Chenghe and Shi Niang pleaded in person, but Master Fan didn't make it any more difficult, and bluntly said that if the shopkeeper Liu didn't pursue it, he wouldn't pursue it either.
Huang was grateful to Dade and kowtowed a few times to Master Fan, and Master Fan waved his hand into the back room.
Huang knew that Master Fan was looking at Xia Chenghe and Shi Niang's face, although he was a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to care.
The three of them hurried to Fanghua Pavilion and asked to see Shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu didn't come out, and sent a guy to pass the word, "My shopkeeper said, it's easy to withdraw the complaint, Baiwei Zhai is sealed, Fangzi is handed over, and the master who can make pastries is not allowed to make pastries on Fangzi in the future, in addition, compensate us Fanghua Pavilion for 1,000 taels of silver." ā
Huang's face is like earth, and it is not worth so much if she sells her for "one or one thousand taels of ......"!
She looked at Xia Chenghe and Shi Niang for help, and the two pleaded several times, and the guy went to see the shopkeeper Liu, and came in and said, "My shopkeeper said, you come to intercede, you are sincere, if you don't have a thousand taels, then a hundred taels, but ......" The guy pointed to Huang and said, "She has to kneel at our door for nine days and make up for the nine hundred taels!" If you will, sign the paper, and if you don't, you will leave. ā
"Let, let me kneel at the door of Fanghua Pavilion?" People come and go, isn't her face all gone?
Huang looked at Xia Chenghe and Eleven Niang again, this time, neither of them opened their mouths to plead.
"She is the third uncle......"
"Fourth aunt!" Eleven Niang interrupted the Huang family and said lightly, "If you don't want to kneel, you can give them silver." ā
The Huang family choked, where did she have the silver, if she had the silver, she would have taken it to the county master a long time ago, and still guarded the acacia Hu with her eyes and asked them to come back?
Thinking about Xia Chengle, who was skinny and skinny in a few days in prison, Huang gritted his teeth, "I'll kneel!" 100 taels ......"
The guy smiled and beat his hands, "That's it, you sign and draw, and I'll go back to our shopkeeper." ā
As he spoke, he picked up the piece of paper on the table and handed it to Huang.
Huang looked at the piece of paper and didn't move.
Xia Chenghe frowned, "The ...... of the fourth family"
Huang looked up at Xia Chenghe, "He, his third uncle, my family doesn't have a hundred taels of silver, can you ......?"
Eleven Niang sneered, and dared to hit their family idea!
Eleven Niang glanced at the guy lightly, and the guy immediately accepted the smile on his face, "Dare to love the fourth wife of the Xia family is not sincere?" Forget it, what should I do about it! Master Xia, Miss Xia, this is not our shopkeeper who doesn't sell your face, you have all seen it, such a person who has to make inches...... It's not worth saving! ā
When the words fell, he threw away the paper in his hand, turned around and was about to walk out.
Where was the Huang family willing to let the guy go, rushed over and stopped in front of the door, and said with a smile, "Little brother, little brother, we have sincerity and sincerity, our third uncle has silver, one hundred taels is one hundred taels ......"
The guy glanced at Shi Niang, and Shi Niang shook her head slightly.
The guy sneered and said, "What a joke, you ruined our Fanghua Pavilion's business, and you have to find someone to pay it back if you lose a piece of money, is this called sincerity?" ā
With that, he pushed Huang out of the door.
Huang was stunned, "He, what does he mean?" ā
Xia Chenghe opened his mouth to say something, but was preempted by Eleven Niang, and simply pointed out, "Fourth aunt, people let you pay back the silver yourself." ā
"But I don't have that much silver."
Eleven Niang smiled, a strange light flashed under her eyes, and pointed in the direction of Jiuli Pavilion, "Grandma has it, they can have silver to save the uncle, and naturally they also have silver to save the fourth uncle." ā
Huang's eyes lit up, "Yes, the old man took half of the big house, and half of it, and half of it...... I'm going back to ......."
------Off topic------
It's so sad today, I wrote to ten o'clock five thousand, and I was excited to be able to change a little bit, but the power went out! What a capital mold!
