Border town - Jinyang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At three o'clock in the morning, the moon had sunk in the west, and the few stars in the dark blue sky were still shining, and the whole town was silent.

The back door of the Oriental house creaked and slowly opened.

Xu Xiucai, who was hiding outside the door, was overjoyed, and greeted him while rubbing his hands: "Jin'er, why did you come out, let me wait." ”

"Am I so easy to get out, I have to wait for my mother to sleep, and I have to hide it from the grandma girl next to me, so it's easy to run out of the air, okay, don't talk here, let's go quickly, we will die if our family finds out."

It was none other than Dongfang Jin, the eldest lady of the Dongfang family, who came out of the back door.

After Xu Xiucai listened to Dongfang Jin's words, she hurriedly took the burden in her hand and carried it on her shoulder, the burden was heavy, "Yes, yes, the carriage is in front, let's go." ”

After getting into the carriage, Dongfang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "If you want me to marry that sick seedling Chongxi, there is no door, and when we leave Jinyang Town, we will be big!" ”

"It's just, how are we going to live after we leave Jinyang like this? I'm just a scholar. Xu Xiucai is obviously not as optimistic as Dongfang Jin.

"What are you afraid of, we have hands and feet and are afraid of starvation, not to mention that I know some medical skills, when Zhuo Wenjun was able to sell wine on the street, can't I open the door to sit for a consultation, I have brought enough coils, not only have I brought all the monthly cases I have saved this year, but I also secretly took some silver from my mother by asking for peace, which is enough for us to open a small medical hall."

"Uh-huh, I'll listen to you."

"To tell you the truth, I've taken a fancy to you - obedient!"

"Hehe......"

"What are you smirking at?"

The carriage drifted away.

A figure at the back door of Dongfang's house flashed and disappeared.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was clear and refreshing, and in the blue sky, geese flew south from time to time.

On the bank of the Jinyang Kai River, a few early risers gathered in the small pavilion on the bank, and a man and a woman lying on the stone table pointed and pointed.

"You're drunk, aren't you?"

"Who knows?"

"Who is this woman, she is really shameless, she is in public, she actually drinks with a man, and she drinks like this."

"I look at how this man looks like Xu Qing on the back street."

"It's not Xu Qing."

"Xu Qing, why are you here, whose girl is you kidnapping?"

Something good came forward and pushed Xu Qing's shoulder.

"It's time to hand over the peach blossoms!"

Xu Qing, who was originally sitting on the stone bench, fell to the ground with his body crooked.

"Ahh

The onlookers couldn't help but shrink back in fright.

It may be that curiosity is haunted, and when you see someone dead, the number of onlookers not only does not decrease, but gathers more and more.

Someone recognized the woman opposite Xu Qing as Dongfang Jin, the eldest lady of the Dongfang family.

"Isn't Miss Dongfang married the son-in-law of the Zhao family? How could he die here with Xu Qing? ”

"Don't you have anything, do you?"

"That's really ruining the door."

A pockmarked face said suddenly: "Martyrdom, definitely martyrdom." ”

"What do you know?"

"The son of the Zhao family was poisoned by Tartar a few years ago, and there was a Taoist priest from Youfang who saved his life, but after all, it was abolished, which woman was willing to marry him."

Another picker continued: "Oh, I know, it must be that this Miss Dongfang is unwilling to marry Zhao Gongzi, and secretly has a head and end with Xu Qing, and the Dongfang family definitely disagrees, so the two made an appointment to come here, and both drank poisoned wine and died of martyrdom." ”

"It's like it's true." Mazi smiled and walked away.

A little girl with a basket in her hand squeezed out of the crowd, looking at the woman in the pavilion with a panicked face.

Someone recognized the little girl, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Xiu'er, isn't this your young lady?" How can I be martyred with poor Xiucai, if you go with me, I will definitely be reluctant to let you die, and I will eat and drink for you......"

Xiu'er ignored Na Laipi, looked at it blankly for a while, and boldly walked to the front of the deceased, although she only showed her side face, but at first glance it was the eldest lady of their family!

The face is black, and there is still a blood snake hanging from the mouth.

Xiu'er was so frightened that she fell backwards, threw the basket on her arm and threw it out, turned around and ran back, but crashed into a person.

She looked up and saw that it was a Taoist priest, and she didn't care about apologizing, so she ran back to Dongfang's house in a panic.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Oh no, no, the eldest lady is gone...... Oh no, ma'am, something happened to the eldest lady......"

She shouted all the way to the head of the Oriental family's daughter-in-law, Liu.

Liu is Dongfang Jin's mother, and after listening to Xiu'er's words, she didn't even have time to put on her clothes, so she ran out: "What are you yelling about, what can't you say well." ”

Xiu'er was so frightened that she stood in the yard and didn't dare to squeak anymore.

"What the hell is going on, tell me quickly." Ryu walked out while getting dressed.

Before she walked out of the courtyard gate, Wan in the second room had already brought a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the door, and walked to Liu's side in three steps and two steps: "Sister-in-law, what is going on, how can I listen to the girl shouting that Jin'er is martyred, what is this, our Jin'er has been virtuous and sensible since childhood, how can we do such a thing that corrupts the door, it must be that the girl is lying, or it is wrong, it is definitely not our Jin'er." ”

How could you be mistaken?

Didn't she even know her own lady?

Xiu'er bit her lip.

Now the body of the young lady is still hanging in public, not to mention carrying people back quickly, but here to say that there are some of these things.

But she only thought about it in her heart, and she didn't dare to say it.

After listening to Wan's words, Liu's face was full of shock, and tears fell down at once, but he quickly collected his emotions and said coldly: "Look at what my brother and sister said, I just heard that Jin'er had an accident, where did martyrdom start?" Although Jin'er is my daughter, she is not angry on weekdays, but she is the eldest granddaughter of the Dongfang family, if she is given such a reputation, it will affect the reputation of the entire Dongfang family's girl, isn't Zhu'er Jin'er's sister, she has such a sister, others will look up to her? ”

Wan Shi hurriedly said: "Who said no, sister-in-law, don't be angry, it's me who cares and said it wrong, don't take it to heart." ”

Liu didn't pay attention to her, but walked straight out of the courtyard gate towards Dongfang Jin's courtyard, and said to Xiu'er who followed behind as he walked: "You take Mama Zhao and Mama Lin to have a look, no matter whether that person is Jin'er or not, even if it is a girl from our family, bring it back and order someone to bury it." ”

Speaking of the word burial, Liu's tears couldn't help but flow down again.

"Sister-in-law, I thought of this first, I have sent magpies and a few mothers-in-law to see, sister-in-law rest assured, it must not be our Jin'er, maybe at this time, Jin'er is sleeping in the room."

Wan Shi didn't finish his words, and the girl thrush next to her ran in panting and said: "The eldest lady, the second wife, the eldest lady is not in the room, I asked a few girls, and they all said that they didn't see the eldest lady, and the slave sent someone to look around the house, but they didn't find the eldest lady." ”

When Liu heard this, her heart sank to the end, and her whole body softened, but at this time she couldn't fall, and just as she was about to speak, the old lady of the Dongfang family, Cheng, walked tremblingly with the help of the girl, and as soon as she entered the door, she pointed at Liu with a cane and said: "Look at the good daughter you taught, what kind of martyrdom did you do, how could our Dongfang family ever have such a shameful thing, teach such a daughter, how can you be worthy of the boss." ”

Cheng said that he also cried: "My hard-working boss, you were originally a rich and noble life with both children and daughters, this is good, you were killed by her, she also raised your son as disabled, and her daughter was taught like this, I said at the beginning that you shouldn't have this woman - my hard-working son-"

In a panic, the magpie came in, "Second wife, we brought the eldest lady back, how should we settle it?" ”

Followed by two mothers-in-law, carrying a white stretcher, on which lay the "martyred" Dongfang Jin.

Liu Shi rushed forward and lifted the white cloth covering Dongfang Jin's body.

She had long known that her daughter didn't like the Zhao family's family business, but she never thought that her daughter would take this path.

"Jin'er—why are you so stupid—" Wan held his mother-in-law's hand and cried in a high voice and a low voice.

At the moment when Liu Shi lifted the white cloth, Dongfang Jin, who was lying down, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ahh
