Chapter Forty-Seven: The Human Head of the Heavenly Machine
Nine catties drove the carriage, walking slowly on the gray and white street, the horse's hooves clattered on the stone road, as if stepping on his heart, so that his heart followed the horse's hooves, knocking and jumping, occasionally, he would look back at the carriage behind him, and say something to the people in the car, but he was afraid that he would make her unhappy if he said something wrong, so he had to shut up and continue to hurry silently.
"Nine catties, I'm going to buy vegetables early in the morning."
An old man walking around the corner greeted Jiujin warmly.
Jiujin slowly turned back from the tangled feelings, and politely said to the old man who greeted him: "Uncle Liu, morning, I'm going to the support hall to have a look"
When Uncle Liu heard this, he immediately said approvingly: "Jiujin is really a kind-hearted person, both capable and kind, no wonder the eldest master of the An family wants to recruit you as a son-in-law."
As soon as Jiujin heard this, he hurriedly glanced back at the carriage behind him, and said a little nervously: "Liu Bomo wants to make fun of me, Master An is just making a joke casually, and he can't do it."
Liu Bole said: "How can it be said that it is a casual joke, I heard that Master An has found the town's Hu matchmaker, and I will come to your house to talk about this matter in a few days, you kid is lucky, who doesn't know that the fifth lady of the An family's big house is as beautiful as a flower, and demure and reasonable, I heard that Li Zhixian asked his son to marry Miss An, but Master An didn't agree."
The eldest master of the An family wants to recruit nine catties as a son-in-law
Cai Wei heard the news and was sincerely happy for Jiujin.
The An family in Uncle Liu's mouth is the richest family in Qingyun Town, and her current support hall is taken care of by Mrs. An, so she is quite familiar with the An family.
An Qixiang, the eldest lord of the An family, is the most famous doctor in Qingyun Town, and he opened the largest medical hall in the town, in addition, he also opened two crude medicine shops in the town, An Qixiang has excellent medical skills, noble medical ethics, and is very prestigious in the town
After separating from Uncle Liu, Cai Wei raised the curtain of the car, and naughtily joked Jiujin and said: "Brother Jiujin is really a blessing, I can get the blue eyes of Master An, if I were a man, I would be jealous of you."
Jiujin blushed and said, "Wei'er, don't follow him and talk nonsense, there's nothing to do at all, it's rumored outside." ”
Cai Wei said with a smile: "The so-called no wind and no waves, since this matter has already been spread outside, it must be not far from ten, you can do it."
Jiujin listened, his face was a little unhappy, he lowered his head, whipped the horse's buttocks, and said in a low voice: "Wei'er, don't make trouble, whether it's true or not, I don't want to marry Miss An Jia, don't talk about it anymore reads; Infinite Abilities: Ultra Forbidden Game
Cai Wei saw that Jiujin was in a slump, so she had to keep her mouth shut, put down the curtain of the car, and sat back in the car.
This stupid boy, if she doesn't grasp such a good marriage, she has to hang herself on a tree, it seems that she needs to enlighten him
When the car arrived at a dim sum shop, Cai Wei asked Jiujin to stop the car, planning to buy some dim sum to take with him.
The dim sum shops in the town are very simple, only selling some common and cheap dim sum, such as osmanthus cake, Jiang rice noodles, winter melon strips, furnace fruits, etc., such as crispy rolls, peanut milk cakes, Aiwowo and other high-end dim sum, you can't see it here at all.
Cai Wei picked for a while, bought a few catties of osmanthus cake, a few catties of ginger rice sticks stained with frosting, and a few catties of fluffy mille-feuille cake
There are many people in the support hall, and everyone's tastes are different, so buy a few more, and let him choose what he likes to eat.
When paying, without waiting for Cai Wei to take out the money, Jiujin rushed to hand over a piece of broken silver to the shopkeeper, rushed to pay the bill, and after paying the bill, he took the lead in walking out with a few snacks.
Cai Wei came out behind Jiujin, and just a few steps after going out, she saw a half-old wearing a big red flower and a red silk dress, twisting the bucket waist and walking over.
She didn't know the woman, but looking at the dress, coupled with the makeup on her face, a big mouth of sausages smeared red, a thick layer of powder on her round face, and the powder on her face fell down when she spoke, and when she smiled, she showed a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth.
As soon as she saw Jiujin, the matchmaker shouted in a sharp voice: "Yo, isn't this Jiujin, come out early in the morning to buy snacks" and leaned over to Jiujin, which immediately brought a choking smell of inferior incense powder.
Jiujin took a few steps back, moved away from her, and said with a reluctant smile: "Mother Hu is early, I want to go to the support hall, and if I am in a hurry, I will not accompany your old man." ”
As he spoke, he put the snacks in his hand into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and helped Caiwei get into the car.
Mrs. Hu raised the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you just have to go, I'll go to your house later, and say the same, just remember to ask your mother to blanch some good wine for me to keep."
Jiujin didn't say a word, sat on the wheel with a stiff face, and walked away on the horse.
Mrs. Hu "cut" and said to herself: "Boy, you are still dragging it, when you know that the old lady is going to mention this family affair to you, you will be happy to have a big snot bubble."
The almsgiving hall is still the same as before, clean and well-organized.
When Cai Wei and Jiujin arrived, the people of the support hall were eating breakfast, which consisted of a bowl of boiled sparse corn porridge, a vegetarian bun and a plate of pickles per person.
Seeing Cai Wei coming, everyone was so happy that they couldn't take care of eating, and surrounded Cai Wei to ask questions.
"Wei girl, why are you back?"
"How long can you stay if you can't leave?"
"The ladies and sons of the family are fine, why didn't they come back with them?"
"Is the girl used to living in the capital married?"
“”
Jiu Jin didn't pay much attention to the first few questions, but the last question made him prick up his ears.
Cai Wei answered everyone's questions with a smile: "Because I am homesick, I will come back and take a look, stay for a few days and leave, my family is now very good; Bach reborn from death. The two younger brothers are studying in the school, and the mother has a baby at home."
For the last question, she really struggled for a while, between her and Nangong Yi, is it an engagement, after thinking for a while, she still replied firmly: "I'm married"
Although they are not the orders of their parents or the words of matchmakers, they have already identified each other in their hearts, and he has also given himself a name in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies.
Jiujin listened to her crisp three words, his body suddenly froze, the smile on his face froze, and his ears buzzed, only the echo of her four words "I am married" kept lingering.
Everyone was very interested in the last answer, and immediately they all gossiped.
"Hey, which family's descendants are so blessed to marry such a good girl as Wei Yatou"
"Girl, who else is there in the family and how many acres of land are serious?"
"Didn't say when you got married?"
“”
Cai Wei was bombarded by everyone's gossip, long guns and short cannons, and couldn't help but have a little headache, besides, there were some questions that she couldn't answer, so she took it over to buy some snacks on the road, shook it, and said: "Brother Jiujin and I bought some snacks for everyone on the road, let's go eat first, and then come and taste it together." ”
"Hey, you girl, it's broken again, we're already very content if we can eat a full stomach, what are you going to do with these rare things?"
"That's not it, I heard that this osmanthus cake sells for fifteen yuan a catty, and it's about to catch up with the price of meat."
Everyone talked about it, and they all went back to their tables to eat their unfinished meals
Through the field investigation, she found that in her absence, the support hall was still well managed, and Mrs. An came to take care of it herself from time to time, and when she did not come, she sent the chief housekeeper of Anfu, and the Jiujin family often took time to come, and every time they came, they were not empty-handed; Several little babies have also gone to school, studying in a private school in a neighboring village, and now they can memorize the three-character scripture and the surname of the hundred families, and several old people who are paralyzed in bed have received excellent care and care, and two of them can actually walk two steps with crutches.
After breakfast, Cai Wei distributed the dim sum to everyone, and when the old people got the dim sum, they were all happy, like children, reluctant to eat, and some people carefully wrapped up their share and kept it for eating when they were hungry in the future; A few little babies were so happy that their eyes were bent into crescents, and they also wrapped up snacks, claiming that they would give them to Mr. when they went to school.
As soon as the support hall was fine, Cai Wei saw it with her own eyes, so she was relieved, stayed for a while, talked to the old people for a while, and then quit everyone and came out.
Later, she also wanted to visit Mrs. An's house, these days when she was away, the old lady took care of the support hall very well, and she should go to express her gratitude.
Jiujin drove the car and returned to the town depressed all the way, his feelings were so low that he couldn't speak, obviously hit by Cai Wei's words "I'm married".
When she arrived in the town, Cai Wei asked Jiujin to send her to Anfu, and asked him to go back first and go back by himself later.
Jiujin helped her out of the car, and drove the carriage without saying a word, and her generous back was infinitely lonely.
Cai Wei shook her head helplessly, planning to take the time to have a good talk with this bear child, at the moment, she still has a lot of things to do.
Mrs. An was very happy when she heard that Cai Wei was coming, and hurriedly ordered the big girl Ruyi next to her to personally greet her and take Cai Wei in.
The old lady's room was still so lively, and before she could enter the door, she heard a crisp laugh of a young woman. An's was old and afraid of loneliness, so he detained several granddaughters of Dafang by his side, accompanied her every day, and gave her a relieve; Nightmare Raiders.
After Cai Wei entered, she respectfully saluted the old woman.
"Cai Wei greets the old lady"
Mrs. An smiled: "The girl doesn't have to be polite, I haven't seen you for a few months, your girl is getting more and more peugeot"
Cai Wei straightened up and said with a smile: "The old lady praised it falsely, if you say Peugeot, how many young ladies in your family are the real beauties?"
Several young ladies of the An family are indeed very beautiful, especially one of the girls wearing powdered flower gowns, which is much more beautiful than the others, but I don't know if she wants to give the fifth lady of the big house who is nine catties, at this time, Cai Wei is very curious, and she can't wait to ask her in person, so as to check for the nine catties.
Mrs. An listened to Cai Wei's praise, smiled lovingly, and said to her granddaughters: "You guys, let's go out to play first, I have a few words with Mu Yatou." ”
When the young ladies heard this, they all got up, blessed the old lady together, and quietly retreated.
"Old lady, the young lady in the powdered flower gown just now was really good-looking, but I don't know how many young ladies in the house"
As soon as the young ladies went out, Cai Wei couldn't help but gossip.
"That's the five girls in the big house, the appearance of the birth is quite neat, and the people are gentle and sensible, and they are top-notch among my granddaughters." The old lady looked at the direction where several granddaughters disappeared lovingly, and introduced to Cai Wei.
"It turned out to be Miss Five."
Cai Wei knew it, sure enough, among her original young ladies, she was the most optimistic about her, such a beauty from everyone's background, she was going to marry nine catties, and she must be happy to come to Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou
"Girl, what do you want?"
Mrs. An suddenly screamed, it turned out that Cai Wei had just come to think about Miss An Wu and Jiujin, but she didn't hear the old lady talking to her.
She smiled embarrassedly and said, "I just saw Miss Five's appearance, I was stunned, I didn't expect that there really is such a standard person in this world." ”
The old lady sighed and said, "It's not good that my daughter's family is too bad, the so-called red face is thin, and it is not as good as those who are rough and stupid."
Cai Wei was stunned, I don't know why Mrs. An suddenly said such negative words, and was stunned, Mrs. An suddenly changed her words and said: "Girl, my wife has something to ask you, you just answer me truthfully, don't be annoyed"
Cai Wei was even more confused, I don't know why the old lady suddenly said such a thing, but since the old lady said it, she had to give her this face, so she smiled calmly: "The old lady just asks, Cai Wei must know everything, and she must be endless." ”
"Well, that's good"
The old lady was very satisfied with Cai Wei's attitude, took a sip of the teacup on the table, moistened her throat, and then spoke.
"I have a nephew named Junchen, who has opened a lot of business in our town, I don't know if the girl has heard of it."
As soon as she heard the old lady mention Lu Junchen, Cai Wei already knew what she was going to ask, but she had already prepared, so she didn't show any panic, but just replied with a smile and nothing: "The famous lawyer, but the people in the town, who don't know which one doesn't know."
The old lady continued: "A few months ago, the little nephew's house was robbed, and overnight, all the belongings of Wanjin were stolen, the nephew went crazy, and the appearance of the nephew and daughter-in-law was also ruined.
Cai Wei said calmly: "The theft of the law family is already known to everyone, how could I not know, it's just the person who stole the law family, the old lady, please forgive Cai Wei for being ignorant, Cai Wei really can't guess reads; Horror Games Live"
Seeing that Cai Wei was having a frank and unrestrained expression, Mrs. An put her mind at ease and said, "You girl is still stable, do you know that the results of the investigation at that time showed that the incident was related to you, the nephew has been sick in bed for this matter, and the person has gone crazy and has not gone out for several months; My nephew and daughter-in-law know that your family has moved to the capital, and you have to go to the capital to sue the royal court, but I stopped it, I don't believe that the girl is this kind of person, so I have just sent someone to call my nephew and daughter-in-law. ”
Cai Wei smiled: "Thank you for the old lady's understanding, originally Cai Wei came to thank the old lady for helping me take care of the support hall today, but the old lady who didn't want to be tired bothered for me, it was really Cai Wei's fault"
As she was talking, the girl came to report: "Old lady, Mrs. Law is here"
Mrs. Ann said, "Let her in." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a woman with a gauze hat rushing in like a whirlwind, scolding the slut and the poisonous woman like crazy, and rushed to Cai Wei's side at the same time, raised her hand and slapped Cai Wei's face.
How could Cai Wei be hit by her, as soon as she raised her hand, she accurately caught her raised arm, and said coldly: "The old lady asked me to confront Mrs. Lu, but not for me to be beaten."
After speaking, with a flick of his hand, Yu Shi was thrown aside fiercely, almost throwing her off.
Yu stumbled, and the gauze hat on his head was thrown off, revealing a face as black as the bottom of a pot and short jagged hair, like a yaksha in the temple.
Seeing her dignified face, Cai Wei pretended to be frightened and screamed, covered her mouth, and her eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief.
Yu's wolf was very embarrassed, and hurriedly picked up the gauze hat on the ground and buckled it on her head, but her ghost-like appearance had been seen by the people in the house, and several young and ignorant maids still whispered softly, and covered their mouths like Cai Wei, revealing a frightened look.
Mrs. An already knew that she was disfigured, but she didn't expect her to turn into this Yaksha, and she was also frightened, and it took a while to come back to her senses.
"Yu's, don't be rude"
As soon as Mrs. An came back to her senses, she shouted angrily: "I kindly found Mu Yatou to confront you and solve your doubts, you don't know what to do like this, you dare to beat people in front of me, do you still have my aunt in your eyes?"
Yu put on the gauze hat, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Aunt is not strange, the daughter-in-law is not disrespectful to the aunt, but my law family has a common enmity with this slut, and the daughter-in-law only hates herself for not being able to slash this slut, and she is out of shape for a while, and she hopes that her aunt will forgive her sins."
Mrs. An said angrily: "Confused things, the matter has not been clarified yet, so you are jumping to conclusions here, no wonder the courtiers don't wait to see you."
Cai Wei smiled: "Don't be angry, old lady, it's not worth it if you're angry, since Mrs. Lu insists that I am a thief, please ask Mrs. Lu to go to the government to sue me, and the government will naturally give Mrs. Lu a justice at that time." ”
Yu Shi shouted angrily: "Don't you want to sue you, who doesn't know that you have now climbed to the richest man in the Great Jin Kingdom, Huo Yuanhuo Gongzi, and even Li Zhixian doesn't dare to provoke you, I'll go there to sue you again."
"Huh"
Cai Wei sneered: "Since I have climbed up to Huo Gongzi, why do I need to steal the little silver in your house, the Huo family's gold and silver sea, do you still need me to go out and steal it?"
"This."
Yu Shi was choked, glared, and said: "Someone searched your grandfather's house and found something stolen from my house, and your grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt all said that you gave it, how do you explain this?"
Cai Wei said: "Mrs. also said, it was found at my grandfather's and grandmother's house, not at my house, Cai Wei is unfortunate, has not been allowed to see my grandfather and grandmother, a few months ago because I took the lead in the uncle's carriage hit and killed someone, resulting in my grandfather and uncle and others were arrested and put in prison by Li Zhixian, so their family has always been resentful of us, so they poured some dirty water on me and reads; Seduction of Love"
"Nonsense, you are clearly quibbling"
Yu Shi pointed at Cai Wei and shouted arrogantly: "It is clear that you colluded with thieves to steal my law family, your grandfather and grandmother are all things that you honor them during the New Year, and if you dare to speak hard today, I will take you back to the law house and torture you carefully, I am not afraid that you will not tell the truth."
Cai Wei glanced at her with a sneer, turned to Mrs. An and said, "Old lady, Cai Wei listened to your words, so she stayed here and waited to confront Mrs. Lu, but I saw that Mrs. Lu did not come to confront me at all, but wanted to arrest Cai Wei and go back to abuse the lynching, I don't know what the old lady plans to do."
Mrs. An was angry by Yu's attitude, she patted the case and said angrily: "She dares me to see, who dares to be presumptuous under my nose, let alone her, even if her man comes, without my permission, dare to move people under my nose, I will also beat him out." ”
As he spoke, he turned to Ruyi and said, "Call the mother-in-law outside to come in and fork out this shrew who has no elders in her eyes."
Yu Shi saw that Mrs. An was protecting Cai Wei and refused to let her take Cai Wei back to the house for interrogation, so she knelt on the ground and cried: "Old lady, it's not that the daughter-in-law disrespects you, it's just that the family has been hurt too badly by this slut, and the daughter-in-law has been disfigured, not to mention, your nephew is now crazy, and he locks himself in the backyard every day, no one sees him, and he refuses to come out. No one takes care of the family's business, a few days ago, the little money left in the family was swept away by the second child, I don't know where I went, and now there is only one woman left in the family to support, and those concubines are restless, and the daughter-in-law is almost unable to hold on."
Head
Rotten human heads
Hearing this, Cai Weideng's shocked mouth couldn't be closed
The head of Tianjizi's missing person will be in the hands of Lu Junchen
No wonder, they didn't find it at the beginning, it turned out that the human head was hidden by Lu Junchen, Tianjizi and Lu Junchen are both evil people who do everything, and they both have a common enmity with her, they colluded together, and they will definitely make a comeback, which is not good for themselves
Cai Wei's heart was cold, and she felt that she was being targeted by a poisonous snake
Here, Yu's crying did not arouse the slightest sympathy and support from Mrs. An, but caused her to be even more angry, and the old lady reprimanded angrily: "Even if the family is in trouble, you should shoulder the responsibility of the housewife, persuade your husband, and settle the house well." Now that the family is in a mess, I don't know that it is not because of your mother's disadvantage in running the house, not only can you not appease the courtier's affection well, let him go crazy, but you have not been able to take care of the family's business, let a concubine take charge of the house, and it is not surprising that one of the good things crawled out of the intestines of those concubines and swept away your family property. Now you are even more wrong, you have to bring an innocent girl back to torture, don't say that this girl is left by me, even if it has nothing to do with me, I will never allow you to do such an unreasonable thing. ”
After speaking, he shouted angrily: "Why are you still stunned and don't fork her out for me"
Several mothers-in-law guarding the door listened to the old lady's words, and immediately took the eagle like a bird, stepped forward and grabbed Yu's, pulled his arm, pulled his leg, and carried his leg, and Yu forked it out
Yu Shi struggled and cried at the same time: "Auntie, this slut did it, this slut is very capable, I sent someone to kill her at the beginning."
Several mothers-in-law saw that Yu's noisy and noisy words, and were afraid that the old lady would be angry, so they gagged her, carried her out like a dead dog, carried her outside the gate of Anfu, and threw her out.
The law house is over, and the law is already crazy, who cares about a lady who disfigured her appearance and couldn't comfort the old lady's heart
Mrs. Ritsu was struggling, and the gauze hat fell into Anfu, and after being thrown out of Anfu, it immediately attracted onlookers from passers-by.
"Ah, it's ugly, you see this woman's face is black, like a yakshatra; Crossing the Qing Dynasty Lu Ding Gong. ”
"Even if you cut your hair like a head, you must be a madman."
"Didn't you see that you just got thrown out of Anfu, it's definitely not a good person"
"Yes, it's not a madman, and it can't be a good person, hit her."
A few urchins picked up the stones on the side of the road and threw them at Yu's body.
A few family members brought by the Yu family hurriedly surrounded her and protected her, scolding a few naughty children while covering her.
Mrs. An said apologetically to Cai Wei: "Girl, it's all me who is an old fool, I wanted to tell you about this matter, so as to wash away your suspicion, but I don't know that this crazy woman is so extreme, indiscriminate, and delusional to abuse lynching, I really wronged you." ”
Cai Wei smiled reluctantly and said, "It's good that the old lady knows that Cai Wei is innocent, and since the matter has been said, Cai Wei will leave first." As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to get up and say goodbye.
Her mind is on Lu Junchen and Tianjizi's people, and she is in no mood to talk to Mrs. An at all, she just wants to go back quickly and think of a way to clean them up.
However, when Mrs. An saw her look sad, thinking that she had just been wronged, she felt even more self-reproachful, so she said that she would not let her go, and she had to stay for lunch.
When Mrs. An saw that she agreed to stay, she became happy, and asked Cai Wei in detail what she liked to eat, instructed the kitchen to make a lot of delicious food according to Cai Wei's taste, and instructed Ruyi to tell her to take Cai Wei to a few young ladies and let a few young ladies accompany Cai Wei for her.
Ruyi also said that Cai Wei was unhappy after being wronged, so she was careful along the way, and even picked up festive words.
Cai Wei knew her thoughts, so she took the opportunity to ask: "Sister Ruyi, I heard that the eldest master wants to recruit the son of the Zhou family who is Zhou's barbecue for the fifth lady, but it's true."
Ruyi smiled: "Now the whole Qingyun Town is talking about this matter, how is it not true?"
The news was confirmed, Cai Wei was happy for Jiujin, but the good mood only lasted for a short while, and it was quickly broken by doubts, with the status of the An family and the appearance of the fifth lady, she could find a better man as her son-in-law, why did she find Jiujin Although Jiujin is good, the ancients have always attached importance to the family, businessmen belong to the lowest class in society, why should they rush to marry their daughters to a businessman with no social status
Thinking of this, Cai Wei said her doubts, Jiujin and Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are simple people, she doesn't want any conspiracy in Jiujin's marriage.
Ruyi listened to Cai Wei's question, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this is the fate of the fifth miss and Zhou Gongzi, that day, my eldest lady took the fifth lady to the support hall for the old lady, but the car was half broken on the road, and then unfortunately met a few scoundrels, and wanted to bully my fifth miss, when it was critical, it happened that Zhou Gongzi also went to the support hall that day, and this matter was touched by him, so he beat the scoundrel fiercely, saved the fifth lady, and saved the fifth miss from being defiled by the fate, He also let the eldest lady and the fifth lady come back in his car. After coming back, the eldest lady called someone to inquire about Zhou Gongzi's personality, and as a result, after those people came back, they were full of praise for Zhou Gongzi's character, and the eldest lady made it clear that the old lady wanted to marry the fifth lady to Zhou Gongzi as his wife. ”
After listening to this explanation, Cai Wei suddenly realized that there was such a public case in it
No wonder the An family will take the initiative to marry the daughter of the thousands of nobles to nine catties, it turns out that the fifth lady was molested by that group of scoundrels, and then saved by nine catties, such a thing is very common in modern times, but it is a great deal in ancient times, the ancient requirements for women are extremely strict, women are a few scoundrels to molest, and they will also be regarded as ruining their reputation and reputation, and they can only marry the person who saved her or molested her scoundrels, if she marries another family, even if she marries a lot of people who are lower than her family, will also be looked down upon by her husband's family
Therefore, the best destination for Miss Five is to marry Jiujin
