Chapter 23, the taboo of the Wu family

Wu Qian's face, who was originally smiling, changed suddenly, his hand suddenly slapped on the table, and scolded loudly: "Don't think that if you are spoiled on weekdays, you will be lawless?" What do you want to do when you mention that woman at this time? You don't want me to lock you up in the backyard, do you? ”

"Is this annoyed, sir? Don't you know how people in Luoyang City are guessing the identity of that woman? Nominally, she is your third lady, but no matter how she came from, she is from the Wu family, isn't she? At that time, it's normal for people to ask two questions, right? Isn't it possible that you should explain to her in this way? What do you think the owner of Yixiu Garden will react to? The bottle sneered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

There is a crazy woman in the Wu family, it doesn't seem to be a secret, but no one has ever seen the true face of the third lady of the Wu family, only that on the day when the concubine was decided, Wu Qian rarely invited someone to come to the door and set up a banquet, and then there was a woman who looked thin and hurriedly showed her face, if it wasn't for wearing a peach-colored dress, I'm afraid everyone couldn't be sure that it was a newcomer. The mysterious woman was never seen since.

Three wives and four concubines were a normal thing, even the stingy Wu Qian seemed to be no exception, but surprisingly, the third lady fell ill soon after, although she invited a lot of Lang Zhong to see for her, but she couldn't tell what kind of illness she had. Soon after, the Wu family released the word that the third lady had fallen into evil and could only recuperate in the attic of the backyard, and then sent a few brave servants to serve, and invited a few dumb servants to guard there under the attic, in order to prevent her from running out and hurting people. In other words, such an act undoubtedly conveyed a message to outsiders: the third lady of the Wu family is crazy.

Everything is also as rumored outside, in the first few months of madness, a woman crying can often be heard in the backyard of the Wu family, as if she was gagged by someone, and then you can hear the sound of laughing and singing, and some people even heard the sound of a woman singing in the middle of the night. After a long time, just when people were expecting to see the mad Madame Wu, everything calmed down, but in the dead of night, someone once saw the attic with a light on, and a woman with a cloak sitting in front of the window—the scene was so horrible that it was even rumored that if you approached the attic, you could smell blood.

The attic is not only a mysterious place for outsiders, but even a taboo for the Wu family, almost no one dares to mention the mysterious woman, even the bottle does not know the identity of the woman, she only knows that the woman who appeared on the day of marriage is just a temporary invited kabuki, not the mysterious woman. Now that she mentioned the mysterious woman, she naturally committed Wu Qian's taboo. Although Wu Qian said so, his expression was undoubtedly worried, Su Shaoqing, a newcomer, it was normal to ask a few more words. If you don't answer properly, it won't cause unnecessary trouble.

"Then ask Lang Zhong, who usually takes care of Madame's body, to come over and ask him to prescribe a dose of medicine, preferably to let the woman sleep all day, and then let her wake up when the guest is gone." Wu Qian thought for a while before he spoke, "This is the safest way. If they do ask, you can just say a few words. ”

"Well, I will definitely say that the lord was reluctant to watch his wife suffer on the streets, so he took her in." A bright smile appeared on Bottle's face, of course she knew what Wu Qian wanted, and naturally knew how to speak to please him.

"This matter must not be made public, except for you and Lang Zhong, no second person is allowed to know. After boiling the medicine, the dumb servant brought it to him and told him to watch her drink it before coming out. Wu Qian carefully instructed again and again.

Their worries were not completely unreasonable, in fact, including Qian Jinyan, they were also very concerned about this issue, and before he figured out Su Shaoqing's intentions, he had to ask Wu Qian to be more careful no matter what.

But Qian Jinyan is most worried about Wu Qian's temperament, Wu Qian is a person who does not listen to advice once he is proud, so he can only be anxious on the sidelines.

"He'll take care of it." Mrs. Meng, who didn't have time to freshen up at all, appeared with her hair pulled lightly, and she smiled indifferently: "Think about it, if he wants to be a relative with Yixiuyuan, how can he make his family ugly public?" It's just that he may not be able to use any clever means. ”

However, their worries seemed to be completely unnecessary, Su Shaoqing appeared in front of the Wu family after three poles on the third day, and gave Mrs. Fang and the bottle a big gift again: a pair of spun yarn for each person, and a pair of bracelets. These gifts almost made Mrs. Fang's heart flutter, although the gift from Hehuan'er was just an extra hosta, she was already quite satisfied.

There were only three people who came out to receive her: Mrs. Fang, Bottle, and Mrs. Fang's sister-in-law, Qu. However, Qu was completely a foil, and only after meeting Su Shaoqing when he appeared, he hurriedly went to the backyard.

"The daughter of a small family has never seen any big scenes, I heard that Miss Su is a distinguished guest in Luoyang City, so she came here, just to meet Miss Shang." A bright smile appeared on Mrs. Fang's face, and then she ordered tea to be prepared to greet Su Shaoqing.

"Madame doesn't need to be polite, I'm just here to see Madame's health, and Madame Bottle...... At first, the housekeeper didn't know that it was Mrs. Lady's beloved, so he bought it rashly, or should he apologize to Mrs. Bottle. Su Shaoqing said with a polite smile on his face.

The three of them greeted politely together, Su Shaoqing saw the layout of Mrs. Fang's room, and naturally asked Mrs. Fang if she worshiped the Buddha, and then pretended to mention several temples in Luoyang inadvertently, and then mentioned a nunnery, and said that she was also dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, and would send someone to fast every month.

This seemed to make Bottle's face quite nervous, and she tried to make herself look normal, but her body was trembling slightly. Su Shaoqing looked at her and asked with a smile, "Does such a bottle lady often worship Buddha?" ”

"Go, go." Bottle's smile was a little forced, and she was obviously secretly complaining in her heart.

"I'll just say it. My girl said that she seemed to have seen Mrs. Bottle somewhere, and after she saw Mrs. Bottle, she wanted to make sure that what she saw was Mrs. Bottle. I guess she met Madame Bottle in some temple? Su Shaoqing said with a smile.
