As soon as Du Shi entered the room, he sat on the bed and said with a solemn face: "Wei'er, my mother has never told you about your grandfather's family, so I'll tell you something today." ”

When Cai Wei heard that her mother had raised the topic so heavily, she unconsciously twitched the corners of her mouth, and said weakly: "You say"

Du Shi ignored his daughter's perfunctory demeanor, looked out the window, and said in a quiet tone: "Actually, my mother is the daughter of the concubine in the Anguo Mansion in the capital, and the fourth lady in people's mouths. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the helplessness and perfunctory on Cai Wei's face suddenly turned into shock, she didn't expect that the old lady's origin was so big!

Du Shi looked at his daughter's expression, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "The fourth young lady of the dignified Anguo Mansion, doesn't it sound very spirited and amazing?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Cai Wei nodded again and again, her eyes showing adoration, but she couldn't understand why, since her mother has such a cow identity, why would she marry such a poor and sour talent as her father, and she has been inhumane by her in-laws for more than ten years?

Du Shi saw his daughter's thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, this fourth lady, that is, a false name, because she is a concubine, is destined to become the family's flag chess pieces and goods, and sacrifice herself for the interests of the family. When the young lady of the concubine marries a young general of the same age as a lady, the daughter of the concubine has to marry an old man who is more than ten years older than her grandfather as a concubine......"

Cai Wei covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Mother, you, are you..."

Du Shi shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said: "Although my mother has always been weak, but that time, she did not bow her head like fate, a few days before she was given away by the family, she escaped from the Anguo Mansion, and was later rescued by your father, so I married your father and came here with your father!" ”

"That's it!"

Although Cai Wei already knew that her mother had finally saved the day, she was still worried and worried about the things that her mother had experienced, and when she heard that her mother was not substantially hurt in the end, she relieved herself and sat down on the couch by her mother.

She hugged her mother's arm, distressed, and admiring: "Mother, I didn't expect you to have experienced such a thrill, fortunately it's okay now, but, speaking of which, you are really amazing, you have the courage and courage to dare to resist the feudal arranged marriage, and if you are an ordinary woman, you will not dare to do this!" ”

Du Shi said: "I have always been timid and afraid, but I would rather die than marry someone as a concubine, do you know why? ”

Cai Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it because my mother has a high heart and wants to be a wife?" ”

Du Shi asked again: "Do you know why my mother must be a wife?" ”

Cai Wei shook her head: "My daughter doesn't know." ”

Du Shi said: "I grew up in Houmen, accustomed to seeing the intrigue in the back house, but also saw more of those tragic things that disregard people's lives, once, in the suburbs of Beijing Nong'an County, there was a large family of the head of the family, married a beautiful concubine, for a time pampered the same, but later, as people often say, the flower is not a hundred days red, the head of the house has a new favorite, the master of the mother because of the grudge, then ordered someone to mash the garlic, forced in the concubine's birth canal, ordered someone to take a thread to sew the concubine's yin, the concubine was in pain, screaming day and night, and was found later, reported to the county government, and the county ordered the evil woman to be vicious, so he took the woman to the court, and ordered someone to take needles and threads, garlic and other things, and also concocted the same method to punish the poisonous woman. The head of the family was afraid of ruining his family's reputation, and begged the county magistrate to stop it, and the county magistrate ordered him to repair the broken gate tower in the county before he could spare the woman. Later, the owner of the house poured all his wealth and repaired the tower, and the world called the tower the tower of the seam."

"Reasoning, these foul words should not be said to you, but my mother wants you to understand that in the family, the concubine is just a thing, when the head of the family spoils her, she has a few days of good life, but she will cause boundless disasters because of this favor, once she falls out of favor, what awaits her is cruel and vicious revenge, making her suffer for life, how many concubines, seeing their children killed, but there is nothing to be done, and how many concubines, destroyed into the well, life is better than death. As for those who are not favored, they are not as good as slaves, up and down the house, anyone can step on her, but she has to suffer silently, if there is half a point of resistance, what awaits her is a catastrophe! ”

"Just like my mother, she knew that the government used me as a tool to curry favor with the powerful, but she didn't dare to say a word of resistance, and even if I was condemned to the old man as a concubine, she didn't dare to appeal for me, this is the sorrow of being a concubine, and it is also the end of being a concubine."

"Therefore, my mother would like you and Fei'er to marry the peddler and pawn as the leading couple, and the little couple will live a dull life of coarse tea and light food, and I will never want you to marry into the Houmen mansion to be a concubine and live that rich and noble life of intrigue."

When the mother said this, Cai Wei had already understood, she thought that Huo Yuan wanted to accept herself as a concubine, so she said these words to warn her, and couldn't help but say with annoyance: "Mother, my daughter naturally won't go to be a concubine, don't worry!" ”

Du Shi said: "You say this, my mother is naturally relieved, but Huo Gongzi sent such a heavy New Year's gift for no reason, my mother suspects that he has ulterior motives, you are still young, I don't know that people in this world are sinister, my mother is afraid that you will see him handsome and golden, and I won't notice him for a while, so I will remind you when I say it."

Cai Wei vomited blood, and said with a smile: "Mother, even if you don't believe in Huo Gongzi's personality, you should believe in your own daughter, you see, is your daughter the kind of person who is willing to be cheap and willing to be small?" ”

When Du Shi heard his daughter like this, he completely put his mind at ease, turned his worries into joy, and said: "It's my mother who is in a hurry for a while, my Wei'er, naturally I won't go to make small ones for others, my mother is just worried about that Huo Gongzi, afraid that he will have bad intentions and hide the fancy intestines that shouldn't be there!" ”

"Mother, no!"

Cai Wei explained: "Huo Gongzi is not that kind of person, and he also told me in person that he already has a favorite woman, so he won't have any bad thoughts about your daughter, so you can put your heart back in your stomach with peace of mind!" ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, why did my daughter lie to you?"

Seeing his daughter's words, Du Shi calmed down a little, but when he thought about it again, he was still not at ease.

"Since he doesn't have any thoughts on you, why did he send such a valuable gift? We don't have a deep friendship with him, huh? No, don't keep these things, so as not to cause trouble, quickly ask Chunliu to go out and have a look, have those people left? If not, call them back, let them take their things away, and accept such a heavy gift from others for no reason, my mother is always uneasy! ”

Cai Wei was anxious, when the person sent by Brother Huo left just now, he glanced at her, and seemed to have something to say to her alone, she was worried that she didn't have the opportunity to go out to ask him, and when she heard her mother say this, she stood up and said, "I'll go to find Chunliu, and by the way, let Uncle Zhang and them all go out to find it, and be sure to find that person back, so as not to worry about my father and mother." ”

When Du Shi heard this, he didn't doubt him, so he let Cai Wei go with confidence.

Cai Wei walked to the door, and sure enough, she saw that the blue-robed man was still there, standing at the door of the Bafu Restaurant waiting for her, and when she came out, the man greeted her, bowed and said: "Miss Mu, I am on the order of the son, and tell the girl that if the girl wants to go to Bianzhou Mansion, you can go to the Xinglong Inn to find us at any time, and we will take the girl there." ”

Cai Wei was surprised: "You came all the way to pick me up to Bianzhou Mansion?" ”

The man paused for a moment and said, "My son-in-law once ordered five hundred catties of cumin from the girl, and set the delivery in these days, I don't know if the girl is inconvenient now, if it is convenient, it is the best, if it is inconvenient, it is okay to delay the delivery for a few more days." ”

Cai Wei suddenly realized, patted her head, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but I forgot about it, I'm really sorry, you wait, I'll go and order." ”

After that, he turned around happily, took out the key to open the door, and walked into the restaurant.

Of course, she didn't go in to order the goods, as soon as she entered the restaurant, she immediately took out the five bags of cumin prepared in the space, and then turned back to the door, called the people in, and asked them to come and pick up the goods.

The man took a few servants, carried the five bags of cumin to the car, politely said goodbye to her, and went on horseback.

Cai Wei breathed a sigh of relief, just now the man said that he would wait for her to go to Bianzhou Mansion together, which really scared her, if Brother Huo really sent someone to pick her up for her, she was really a little suspicious of his motives, but, obviously, people are here to chase the goods, but for the New Year, I am embarrassed to come empty-handed, and Brother Huo is a rich person, so he is more generous, and there are some.

When she returned to the backyard, her mother and father were waiting for her worriedly, and when they saw her come back, they both stood up and asked anxiously, "Did you find it?" ”

Cai Wei nodded, had to lie again, and said: "They said that Huo Gongzi gave him the secret recipe for kebabs because I gave him it, and because of gratitude, he gave us this heavy gift, so, Daddy, you can accept this big gift with peace of mind!" ”

"Is that really the case? You didn't bluff your mother? Du asked.

Mu Zhongqing interrupted his wife and said, "Meiniang, look at what you said, when did our Wei'er lie?" Vile said so, it must be so! ”

Cai Wei listened, her ears turned red, since she had space, she couldn't remember what she had said about lying, the more she said, the smoother it became, completely subverting the once kind and honest Cai Wei, if one day, her father and mother knew that she had told so many big lies, how disappointed she would be! Just thinking about it, she was terrified!

However, the lies she told were all white lies, and the guilt and uneasiness in her heart were slightly better. I hope these lies are not exposed.

At breakfast, Chunliu served a large plate of crescent-like bait dumplings, which were wrapped by Sister-in-law Liu and Aunt Zhang with celery and wild boar meat grown in their own wing, old soup and stuffing, cut with chopped green onions, minced ginger and other seasonings, the dumpling skin was filled with a large filling, and it was like a bag of water in one bite, which was very delicious.

Cai Wei ate a few bites, and felt that although the bait dumplings were delicious, they were vegetarian after all, and her father's body was now very good, so she ordered Aunt Zhang to cut one of the smoked chicken sent by Huo Yuan and bring it over for dinner, and then mix some cold vegetables.

Aunt Zhang took the order and respectfully retreated.

Mu Zhongqing looked at her daughter with a smile and said, "In my opinion, if our Wei'er was born in a big family, it would be no problem to be in charge of the feed!" ”

Cai Wei smiled, revealing the naughty appearance of her little daughter, and said, "What is it to be in charge of the middle feed, my daughter is in charge of the harem, and she does the same." ”

On the roof, there was a sudden sound of rubble.

Du Shiyan said: "Wei'er, some jokes can't be made indiscriminately, you must know that trouble comes from the mouth, and the things in the palace are unspeakable to our little people, remember?" ”

Cai Wei stuck out her tongue and said disdainfully: "What's the big deal, isn't it the palace?" Even if I am invited to go by eight sedan chairs, I am not uncommon, hum! ”

The roof rang again.

Mu Zhongqing raised his head, looked at the roof, and said, "This house is also a few years old, right?" The tiles are loose, turn around, and I'll find two bricklayers to re-stack the tiles......"

After breakfast, Cai Wei and her mother planned to go to the support hall together to have a look, and after the New Year, they would buy some New Year's goods for the old, young, sick and disabled people in the support hall, so that they could feel the joy of the New Year.

Before leaving, Du ordered Liu's sister-in-law and Aunt Zhang to pick a big bag full of all kinds of vegetables in the room, and took a roast goose, a big fish, half a basket of crabs and half a roast sheep to give them the New Year.

When passing by a pastry shop, Cai Wei asked Zhang Bo to stop the car, went inside in person, bought three catties of soft grass seed cakes, three catties of osmanthus cakes, three catties of jujube cakes and three catties of cooking cakes, wrapped them in oiled paper, and carried them back to the car.

"See what's missing? Let's buy it too. ”

Du Shi is very supportive of her daughter's good deeds, and she agrees with spending money on the support hall and providing for the elderly, children, sick and disabled.

Cai Wei thought for a while and said, "Let's buy another piece of clothing for each of them, and when it's the New Year, wear a new dress to add joy." ”

So, Uncle Zhang drove the carriage again and went straight to the ready-to-wear shop they frequented.

When she arrived at the ready-to-wear shop, Cai Wei thought about what Fei'er had said to her, so she asked the guy on the counter if a few ready-to-wear clothes customized by her own family had been ready?

The man hurriedly went into the room and took out the sets of clothes, Cai Wei and her mother glanced at it a few times, and felt very satisfied, so they put it away and went to choose the clothes for those people in the support hall.

Cai Wei was quite familiar with the size of those people, so she quickly picked them out and was about to go to the counter to settle the accounts, when she suddenly heard a customer who came in after her say: "Amazing, I just heard that the lawyer's house was stolen last night." “

Another customer was surprised: "Who has the audacity to steal the lawyer's house?" ”

The previous one said: "It's not just stealing, it's just moving the house, I heard that the whole mansion has been moved, to put it down, it's gold and silver treasures, that is, even the tables, chairs and benches haven't been spared, and the lady who looks like a ghost, the whole face is blacker than ink, no matter how you wash it, your hair has been shaved and scooped, and now Mrs. Lu is looking for death!" ”

Hearing such explosive news, the shopkeeper and the guys in the shop all came over and couldn't help but gossip.

"The law family is so big, how much trouble is there to move the chime, hasn't anyone found out?"

The customer who broke the news said: "But there is really no movement, not even a few family members who are keeping vigil have not seen a trace of ghosts, and the house has been quietly emptied, which is really evil." Oh, by the way, the rice shop of the law family has also been emptied, the two guys on duty last night went to visit the kiln, and they were not on duty in the rice shop, and when they came back, the rice shop was already empty, but fortunately, there was a thief who somehow fainted in the rice shop, and now it has been taken, just waiting to wake up and be strictly interrogated. ”

"Now, the law firm must have jumped up, right?"

"It's not like that, the money and property that the law family has accumulated for many years have been lost, and even the body that Mrs. Lu has saved privately for many years is gone, and even the body saved by those concubines has been stolen, so it can be seen that the gang of thieves searched room by room, and there was nothing left."

Someone said evilly: "In this way, the women of the law family have entered the house of outsiders, I wonder if they have lost their virginity?" If that's the case, wouldn't the law be even more pitiful, hehe......"

Cai Wei twitched the corners of her mouth, imagining that most of the rumors in the world came from like this, people relied on their own wishful thinking, adding branches and leaves, and turning the original truth into what they imagined, but I was afraid that before the evening, there would be various versions of the law family women being insulted by thieves everywhere in the town......
