Chapter 20 Each has his own plans
When Bai Sujin heard this, he became more and more angry, and said hatefully: "What are you talking about, you have seen the wrong person, you have paid your sincerity wrongly, and you have suffered a great grievance, how can you be willing to be a broken flower and a willow?" That bastard surnamed Zhang failed you, and instead he was an official and had a good reputation, as well as his own wife. But because of your negative heart, you should lower yourself to marry those who are poor and cannot afford to marry a daughter-in-law, or who are disabled? You are good-looking and talented, you can't practice yourself like this! ”
Li Miaoqiu's face was full of tears, gently wiped it with a handkerchief, and said helplessly: "Women and men are different after all, since ancient times, how many infatuated women have negative hearts, negative men marry others, and they can still find famous ladies, and it is not uncommon for three wives and four concubines to be found. But what about infatuated women, once they pay someone wrong and lose their chastity, they will be criticized. Even if he reluctantly dragged his crippled body to marry, it was difficult to be valued by his husband's family, but he was just stealing his life. ”
Bai Sujin was sad when she heard this, and asked softly: "You are not in a hurry to get married, what are your plans next?" ”
Li Miaoqiu sighed and said, "To be honest, I thought that I would personally go to the door of the negative Han Mansion to beg, but I was so humiliated. But if she is a fierce woman, she should be hanged in front of his house with a rope, so as to die a clear will. But after all, I was still afraid that his fame would be affected, and I wanted to find a place where no one was looking for death, but I felt that it was really not worth it. Now I don't have a plan. ”
Bai Sujin sneered: "Fortunately, you didn't seek death, if you learn that you are dead, the bastard surnamed Zhang doesn't know how happy he should be, just right, he doesn't have to worry about you going around and ruining his good reputation." ”
Seeing that Li Miaoqiu was silent, Bai Sujin said again: "After saying this for a long time, you are also tired, and now that you are penniless, you will live with me for the time being, as for the bastard surnamed Zhang, he must not be let go easily, this matter, we will consider it in the long run." ”
Li Miaoqiu moved her mouth, she didn't say anything after all, she was humiliated to such a situation, if she still spoke for that Zhang Runcheng now, it would be too cheap. She was also tired all the way, so under the guidance of Zijuan, she went to the backyard to rest.
Bai Sujin sat on the chair and drank a cup of tea, letting his excitement gradually calm down. Hearing Zijuan come over and say that Li Miaoqiu had already fallen asleep, he nodded slightly. With a calm and watery expression, I don't know what I am pondering?
When Guo Yifeng and Li Quan came back, they saw Bai Sujin and Zijuan contemplative, and the other bored in a daze. The afternoon sun passed through the hall and sprinkled on the two of them, giving people a sense of quiet and peace.
As if for a moment, Guo Yifeng suddenly felt that Bai Sujin had a melancholy look between his eyebrows, but his indifferent expression gave people a particularly gentle feeling. Under the background of the sun, Bai Sujin was extremely gentle and kind, and Guo Yifeng suddenly had a desire to protect her and want to step forward and hug her.
However, Zijuan's "back" broke the tranquility and warmth. Bai Sujin raised his head, returned to his usual pungent style, and said loudly: "Let you go out to do something, why did it take so long to come back, has the matter been done?" ”
This rough and atmospheric sentence suddenly destroyed the illusion in Guo Yifeng's heart just now, and he had to say: "It's done, I have already told the steward of Chai Ji Silk Village, and he will send someone to deliver the goods tomorrow." ”
Bai Sujin snorted, and said with a face as usual: "I'm not in a hurry about silk or anything, it's just that today I met a hard-working woman, and after listening to what happened to her, I was sad in my heart, thinking about what I could do to help her. ”
Zhang's house.
"Madam, the slave maid inquired clearly, the girl who came to the house a few days ago to make trouble turned out to be a singer from the capital." Cui'er glanced at Zhang Han's family, saw Zhang Han's expression as usual, and said in a low voice, "Although the old man kept saying that the girl was a crazy person and drove her out, the slave always felt that what the girl said was not groundless. ”
Zhang Han's eyebrows were gloomy, but he said: "Master, a man's family, went to Beijing to catch the exam, and he was out alone, and after a long time, he couldn't hold it for a while, and he also had the way of the singer." It's just the same, it's a matter of acting on the spot, and it's okay later. Who would have thought that the kabuki was also a greedy and vain person, and when he heard that the lord had won an official position, he came all the way from the capital in a vain attempt to marry into Zhang's mansion, and was kicked out by the lord, and he was also shameless. ”
Cui'er had been serving Zhang Han's for a long time, so she was naturally with Zhang Han's heart, and after listening to Zhang Han's words at this time, she quickly echoed: "What Mrs. said is that like that skinless and faceless slut, if she really weighs her mind, she is accepted into the mansion by the master, plus the woman on the Fengyue field, she is used to saying it, and when the time comes, if the master is confused by her, won't the lady's status be in jeopardy." ”
When Zhang Hanshi heard this, the more he felt reasonable, he gritted his teeth and said: "I really didn't expect it, that slut is too self-aware, the master and I have become husband and wife, and she also made a hindrance from it, trying to destroy the relationship between me and the old man and his wife." She also didn't want to think about it, she was a kabuki, she didn't even deserve to carry shoes for the master, and she still wanted to be an aunt's wife, it was really wishful thinking. ”
Cui'er nodded hurriedly, agreeing with Zhang Han's statement, and then said: "Madam, that's what I said, it's just that the slave maid heard that the Fengyue woman is the most difficult, and she doesn't know what shame is. If she was resentful because she failed to marry into Zhang's mansion, she went everywhere to publicize this matter, but she was afraid that the reputation of the old man would be hindered. Moreover, if this matter reaches the ears of the officials above, I am afraid that those colleagues who have a dislike for the lord will take advantage of this to make a big fuss, and when the time comes, it will be more than worth the loss if it affects the master's career. ”
When Zhang Hanshi heard this, he frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and said for a while: "It's better for you to be alert, I didn't expect this layer of stakes." In that case, you should go out and inquire again, and see where the girl is, and if she is still in Suzhou, and she has done something, you can tell me in time. I'll have to come up with a way to deal with it. ”
Matchmaker's shop.
Guo Yifeng and Li Quan listened to Bai Sujin's story, they were both filled with righteous indignation, Guo Yifeng couldn't sit still angrily, stood up and scolded: "There is such a ruthless and unrighteous man in the world, it's really despicable, Anxian County Order?" Such a scum is also worthy of being a county commander, so he should be taken immediately and put in prison. ”
Li Quan's face was also pale, and he said loudly: "Such a negative man is really a loss of face for a man, and he has no responsibility at all, how can he be embarrassed to be a parent official." If I see him, I will beat him and kick him before I am relieved. ”
Bai Sujin was very calm at this time, seeing the indignant appearance of the two, he said lightly: "I just heard about this, and I was angry, and after a while, I realized that it was useless to be angry." Since I have encountered this incident, I can't sit idly by, I thought about it and thought, now there is only one way to work, that is, to sue the governor of Suzhou, I don't know what you think? ”
Guo Yifeng reluctantly calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that it will be useless to sue the governor, even if the governor has the heart to deal with this matter, but with his authority, at most, he can only sentence the person surnamed Zhang for the crime of degrading." The behavior of the surname Zhang must not be cheapened, let alone dismissal, even if he is sentenced to prison. According to my meaning, I must go to the capital and report to the Criminal Department so that the surname Zhang can get the punishment he deserves. ”
