Chapter 147: The Bloody Male Race (5)
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men and women with hoes and shovels poured into the orchid garden. www.biquge.info They talked and laughed, took their hoes and began to dig up those rare orchids. The action was rude, and many orchids were cut off their rhizomes on the spot. Rose was so heartbroken that she almost vomited blood, and hurriedly rushed over to stop them: "What are you doing, stop, they are all rare treasures!" ”
But her hand passed through them like smoke, and she couldn't touch their bodies at all.
She looked up at Doulan: "Doulan, stop them!" ”
Dou Lan jumped to her side and shook her head: "I already told you just now, this is the memory of your previous life, there is no way to change it, I can't do anything." ”
At this time, a woman climbed up the rockery, grabbed the "orchid" and pulled it out of the soil and threw it on the ground.
"Hiss......" Dou Lan took a breath of cold air, "That woman is so rude that I still have a pain in my back now." ”
"Stop!" With a crisp sound, the two girls rushed into the orchid garden.
The leader is Qiu Xiuya, and the other is her maid judging from the clothes.
Qiu Xiuya was wearing the orange-red jacket worn by the rose, and the bright color still couldn't hide the gloomy face on her face, and her eyes were dark. Rose doesn't know how long it has been between the two memories, but there is a thick layer of melancholy between the eyebrows of this lively and cheerful girl.
Seeing the tragic scene of the orchid garden, Qiu Xiuya's tears fell. She threw herself on the ground and put the sparsely trampled orchids into a bamboo basket. Hoarsely shouted, "Don't dig again!" Get out of here! ”
Rose understands this pain, even if she is not interested in orchids, she has angina when she sees so many rare orchids tragically, not to mention that Qiu Xiuya is a person who loves orchids.
Seeing that everyone didn't move, the maid scolded: "A group of minions, the young lady hasn't left after she has spoken, is it possible that you want to bully the master?" ”
A mother-in-law smiled and said: "Miss Baojuan, it's not that we don't leave, it's the old man who sent us a message to dig up these inedible bluegrass." Wait for him to rest for the winter, plant some broad beans and vegetables in this place, and I will take care of the vegetable garden. It's true that the young lady is the little master, and the old man is the big master of this family. If you have anything to say, please tell the master to go......"
Qiu Xiuya stood up suddenly, slapped two mouths at the woman, and said lightly: "The old shrew from Qiujiazhuang, my father is a member of the Ma family. The surname of this mansion is Ma Bu's surname Qiu, and my name on the family tree is Ma Xiuya. I respect you on weekdays, let you call me Qiu Xiuya, do you really treat me as a junior? ”
was slapped in the face, and the mother-in-law's face turned red, covering her cheeks and not daring to squeak. The others were also silent and looked at Qiu Xiuya in disdain.
"What did you say?!" With an angry shout, a chubby middle-aged man walked into the orchid garden with a snort, raised his hand and gave Qiu Xiuya a slap, "You!! You little! It's like a sassy look like your mother, and you really want to fly! Let me tell you, I handed over all seven cloth workshops to those bastards of the Ma family! From now on, this mansion has nothing to do with the surname Ma, its surname is Qiu and not the surname Ma! If you don't want to be angry, don't be my daughter, go to be the daughter of the Ma family, and see which of them is willing to take you in! ”
It was this person who beat people, and he was the one who scolded people, but when he wantonly threw foul language on his daughter, his face turned from red to iron. Panting and glaring at his daughter, who had been covering her face all along, her eyes almost bursting out of her sockets.
After he finished yelling, Qiu Xiuya bit her lip: "Dad, how can you hand over the cloth workshop to the clan, that is our family's inheritance......"
"The Ma family's money is not rare for me!" The man became excited again, and stomped his feet hatefully and yelled as he spoke, "I want to show those dog-eyed things in the Ma family, my poor show will one day be richer than the special Ma family!" Frugality leads to prosperity, and obscenity leads to death. From now on, no flowers and plants are allowed to be planted in the yard, and all vegetables will be planted to save the money for vegetables......"
"This house belongs to the Ma family, except for the cloth workshop, other businesses are also owned by the Ma family." Suddenly, a faint sentence was gently inserted into the man's excited words. Qiu Xiuya covered her face and looked at her father, and there was no expression in her clear eyes, "What's more, the family's business has been losing money since it was managed by my father, and my mother's body has been blocked with a big hole before her death, and my father didn't make any money at all." Dad, if you really want to return the Ma family's money to the Ma family, you should pay back the other businesses and this house, as well as the clothes you are wearing. Besides, the Ma family doesn't have anything to be sorry for Dad, when did Dad not take money from the Ma family to help the poor relatives in Qiujiazhuang? Why does Dad hate our Ma family so much? ”
"Shut up!" Annoyed and angry, the man raised his hand and slapped his head and face towards Qiu Xiuya, "Shameless stinky Nizi, unfamiliar white-eyed wolf." You and I don't know why you are protecting this orchid garden? It's the place where you and Bai Fusheng have a private meeting! Shameless stuff! angered Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu did everything! Fighting facelessly, Lao Tzu withdrew your relatives and sent you to the nunnery as a sister-in-law! ”
Rose finally couldn't hold it anymore, rushed to him, and tried to stop his movements with the maid: "Shut up, is there a father who has you spoiled his daughter so badly?" ”
But she was just a cloud, and the maid was small. Almost every slap of the man slapped Qiu Xiuya in the face. Qiu Xiuya was silent and dodged indifferently. The headband was slapped and flapped, and the delicate and neat hairstyle was slapped into a mess by the father's slap, and the unkempt head was piled up on the face. I couldn't see the expression clearly, only a pair of bloodless lips were revealed, dead white, dead white......
This lady, who has been pampered like a pearl since she was a child, may have never been so embarrassed.
"Bastard! You bastards! Even though they couldn't hear it, Rose cursed. scolded Qiu Xiuya's father for his poor conduct, and scolded the men and women around him who watched Qiu Xiuya being beaten with enjoyment.
Rose's anger was not only because of sympathy for Qiu Xiuya, but also because Master Qiu's scolding was too ugly, and she had to listen to it.
Just when the roots of the rose's ears were already starting to tingle, a girl in a white mink coat rushed in from outside the orchid garden.
Very delicate, about fifteen or sixteen years old. She panted and ran to Master Qiu, trembling and asked, "Dad, why did you promise me to Master Wang as a concubine?" Then he looked at Qiu Xiuya, who was embarrassed, and tears rolled down her cheeks, "Eldest sister, Dad promised me yesterday to Master Wang to be a small one, and the sedan chair will come to greet my relatives in half a month." ”
Rose was stunned.
Qiu Xiuya was stunned all of a sudden.
In a moment, she suddenly came back to her senses from her sluggish state: "What?! ”
Brushing away the hair on his face, he grabbed Master Qiu's arm in a faux puff, but tried to calm his voice: "Dad, Dad, it must be that we did something wrong, Dad, you are angry." I don't grow orchids anymore, and we don't need servants anymore, and we will listen to whatever Dad says in the future. Dad, you can't give Xiujing to Master Wang, Master Wang used to be a bandit who did all kinds of evil, and he didn't know a single big word. Our Ma family, no, our Qiu family is a scholarly family, rich for a hundred years, how can we marry Xiujing to him as a child? ”
Master Qiu snorted coldly in his nose, looked her up and down, and showed a smug look in his eyes: "Hard, no matter how hard you are this dead girl, don't you look down on your father?" ”
"How could I look down on my father?" Trying to squeeze out a smile that is more ugly than crying, "I'm my father's daughter, and my father should beat me as many times as he gets angry with me." But Dad, Xiujing can't marry Master Wang. ”
"Shut up!" Pushing Qiu Xiuya away with both hands, Master Qiu smiled coldly, "What do you know?" Now that Master Wang is rich, I don't know how majestic it is. I've done the math with someone, and the three of you sisters are all the lives of Mrs. Fate. It is precisely because I heard about your sister's destiny that Master Wang fell in love with your sister Xiujing to propose marriage, and after Xiujing got married, Master Wang would definitely treat her well. If you wait for Xiujing to give birth to a boy and a half girl, what does it matter if it is the main house or the partial house? At that time, not to mention that it was in the county seat, even in the provincial capital, everyone had to respect me for three points. Master Qiu was shy and chubby, "I'll add another son then......"
Hearing this, Qiu Xiujing next to her suddenly collapsed, she pulled her hair, tears and snot flowed down together, and cried: "I'm not married!" Old man Wang is forty years older than me, bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil, bastards, hooligans, and shameless people! Only a black-hearted blind man will marry his daughter to him as a child! I'm not married! ”
"You! You little brute! Scold who is blind! Hearing that, Master Qiu's face turned red, and he raised his slap and waved it vigorously at Qiu Xiujing's face. Qiu Xiuya hurriedly opened her hands to protect her sister in her arms, and the slap fell on the back of her head.
But this move undoubtedly made Master Qiu even more angry: "Two rebel girls! ”
He gritted his teeth and snatched the shovel from the hand of the man next to him, raised his hand and slashed it down.
Fear......
Because of this sudden and terrible attack, and unable to stop it, Rose instinctively closed her eyes.
After a while, I didn't hear the screams, and when I opened my eyes, I was fortunate that the handle of the shovel was grabbed by a man next to me, and he persuaded Master Qiu: "Brother, it's okay for a girl to be ignorant and scold, just don't kill it, after all, it's your own daughter." ”
Some people were persuaded to fight, and others were embarrassed to stand anymore. Everyone rushed up, some persuaded Master Qiu, and some pulled the two sisters. In the chaos, Qiu Xiujing suddenly laughed bitterly, with tears on her face.
"Sister, haven't you found out yet?" She nestled in Qiu Xiuya's arms, and one hand pointed at Master Qiu fiercely, almost poking the bridge of his nose, "Dad hates us because the three of us sisters have the blood of the Ma family on our bodies." The three of us live for a day, and the money in this house and this family belongs to our sister, and he will not be able to live in peace for a day. That's why he had to kill all three of us sisters, so he didn't treat us as daughters. Haha, when my grandfather recruited this poor bastard surnamed Qiu into the door, our Ma family's qi was exhausted, and the with rat eyes was bad for my Ma family's feng shui......"
Master Qiu's face turned red and white when he heard this, his eyes stared at her with wide eyes, and he stomped his feet for a moment: "Take this rotten dead girl back to the room and find someone to watch, don't let her kill herself." The words of the matchmaker for the parents' orders for marriage events can't help her, you have to marry if you marry, and you have to marry if you don't marry......"
At this moment, the noisy group of people disappeared. Just like the noisy drama suddenly stopped, the figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Rose's head was buzzing. There was still a feeling of anger in the ears of Master Qiu, and there was a faint feeling of numbness and chills on his back.
The roses still stood in the orchid garden, but the orchids and green moss in the garden were completely gone, leaving only a bleak yellow weed.
The transition happened so quickly that for a long time the rose could not fully pull consciousness back into the real world.
"There's a powerful youkai in the park."
Because Dou Lan had been standing behind everyone and watching coldly just now, Rose almost forgot about his existence. Suddenly hearing his voice, Rose suddenly blurted out, "What?" ”
"I'm going to hide, some monsters will eat the demon and cultivate people." He said again.
Rose understood what he meant: "Powerful youkai......"
Before he finished speaking, he hugged the rose: "Although most of my memories have been reincarnated with the demon body, I feel that we are destined. I'm very happy to see you, if our fate is not over, when my demon body finds me in the future, maybe we can meet again. ”
Then the body was light, and the orchid disappeared.
Rose looked around the orchid garden and couldn't see a trace of it, as if he had never appeared.
Stunned, she stood dumbfounded for a while, and Rose walked towards the outside of the orchid garden.
Dou Lan said that a powerful monster had entered the house, and she guessed that Feng Jiu or Canghai might be looking for her. How could he find it in such a secret place, it was better to go to an easy place to find.
After walking for a long time, she came to the small lake again, and she stopped.
A few withered lotus leaves either bend on the surface of the water, or bend down in the water, casting a cold and silent trembling shadow on the slightly wrinkled water. Under the gray sky, Qiu Xiuya sat on the white marble fence by the lake around the silver fox, staring blankly at the lake.
Compared to the previous few times I had seen her, this time she was thinner. His cheeks were deeply sunken, and his body was wrapped in the middle of the long fox fur, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of his figure. The radiant aura on his face has long been gone, his complexion is sallow, his expression is in a trance, and his eyes are as empty as a wisp of ethereal smoke.
Walked up to her and looked down into her eyes, trying to discern something through the murky waters. But I can only see that the blue water of the lake has become a stagnant water, and I can't see anything else.
"Miss......" and someone whispered behind him.
Turning his head with Qiu Xiuya, he saw Qiu Xiuya's maid, named Baojuan. She carried a burden and wore a plain shirt.
She walked over and helped Qiu Xiuya up: "Miss, don't sit in a cold place, beware of getting sick." ”
"Cool?" Qiu Xiuya stood up with her support, her expression was dull, "It's cold by the lake, isn't Xiujing cooler in the lake?" ”
Baojuan sighed: "Miss, don't be sad, I have asked the senior monk to spend time for the second miss, and the second miss must have been reincarnated now." God willing, the lord finally set the wedding date of the young lady, the young lady just waits to be the bride, and she will not think about anything sad when she is busy. ”
"Don't be sad, it's better to die than to marry the old man Wang, and the soldiers can be killed but not humiliated." Qiu Xiuya's brows furrowed slightly almost imperceptibly, "It's just that Xiumin's marriage can't be finalized, how can I rest assured that I can get married?" I don't know if Fusheng received my letter, and if he can give it to Xiumin's good family. Speaking of which, she looked at Baojuan, "Your brother came to pick you up?" ”
Baojuan's eyes turned red: "Yes, Miss, Baojuan will no longer be able to serve you from now on." ”
"It's serious to go quickly, so you don't have to worry about Dad beating you." Qiu Xiuya lifted the big pot, took out a small pot of orchids from her arms, and took the "Dou Orchid Queen" away and took it to the inaccessible valley to plant. There are always times when it's inconvenient for me to hold it and protect it all the time. ”
"Hey......" Baojuan nodded and took the orchid.
touched himself: "I've spent all my savings to redeem myself for you, what do I want to reward you?" Oh, there's this one left. Qiu Xiuya took off the jade bracelet on her hand and put it on Baojuan's hand.
Baojuan hurriedly excused herself: "Miss, I can't ...... it"
Qiu Xiuya smiled faintly: "Baojuan, it's good to save me a little face, I'm still the eldest lady of the Ma family." ”
Hearing this, Baojuan was stunned for a moment and laughed, and the smile was very bitter. She took a step back and knelt on the ground: "Miss, Baojuan is leaving, and then kowtow to Miss." ”
Qiu Xiuya turned her back to her: "Let's go......"
"Yes." Baojuan kowtowed deeply, got up and wiped her tears, and turned around and left step by step.
Qiu Xiuya had been quietly staring at the lake in front of her, her face as calm as a statue.
Rose could only stand still beside her, unable to guess what was going on around her. I don't know what Qiu Xiuya still wants her to see, is it just standing here to accompany her uncomfortable......
I don't know, but Rose was really uncomfortable in her heart, and her chest was like a big stone pressed down, and she couldn't breathe heavily.
After standing for a long time, a little maid came running: "Miss, Miss, guest, here is the guest......"
Qiu Xiuya hurriedly turned around and asked, "Is it the person who proposed to the third lady?" ”
"I don't know, I just saw a handsome boy from afar."
Hearing this, Qiu Xiuya ran towards the front hall with her skirt, and Rose also ran in that direction with her.
Qiu Xiujing is dead, and Qiu Xiuya is only left with Xiumin's sister. Rose understood her thoughts, Qiu Xiumin's marriage must no longer be handled by Master Qiu, even if she is criticized, she will take care of it to the end.
Outside the living room, Qiu Xiuya stopped and thought about turning to the back of the rockery.
Behind her was a dry plantain grove, and she slipped into the plantain bush to open a few banana leaves, revealing a small door behind the leaves. The small door was unlocked, and she pushed it open and squeezed through it. The small stone door in her memory was like a cloud of mist, and the roses could not touch it, and it did not hinder her, and she followed her without difficulty.
Behind the door is a dark and narrow passageway, walking along the corridor to the front, and after a while, I heard the voice of Master Qiu talking to another person from the other side of the wall.
……
Master Qiu smiled and said, "Didn't Mr. say that my three daughters are all destined by Mrs. Fate?" Now that my second daughter is dead, where can I go to be the lady of the Decree, the underworld? ”
"Master Qiu, the second young lady is indeed the life of Mrs. Qiu." A young man's voice, lazy, with a faint bewitching taste, "A while ago, Mr. Zhou Da wanted to talk about the family affairs of the Jiangnan Duan family for the second young lady, and said it three times. That Young Master Duan and the second miss were married in their previous lives, and he will be a dignitary in the future, so the second miss will naturally marry Mrs. Fate. It's just that the god of fortune entered your Qiu family three times, but was driven out of the door by Master Qiu and Mr. Zhou Da with great insults. The blessings of the second miss and Young Master Duan will naturally fall to someone else's family in the next life, and Master Qiu, you can't enjoy it. ”
Master Qiu was silent, and after a while, he shouted three times in a row.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Wow!"
His voice was urgent: "It turns out that it is true that parents control the lives of their children. Since I can change Xiujing's life, other people's lives can also be changed. I begged my husband to think of a way to change my childless life for me. ”
"Master Qiu, I made it very clear to you last time. You are already a blessed life, although you have no children, you have three daughters who will ensure your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life. If you are not greedy enough, you need to pay a lot of price, can't the second lady's master still see it seriously? ”
"I also made it very clear to my husband that I want a son."
The man chuckled: "Since Master Qiu has made up his mind, why don't you ask what the price is?" ”
Almost following the man's voice, Master Qiu asked, "What is the price?" ”
"I want the marriage and life of the eldest lady of your mansion."
"You, do you want to marry Xiuya? She promised the prince of Baifu in the provincial capital, and she will get married next month. Unlike just now, Master Qiu's voice was a little hesitant, "Baifu is not easy to mess with." ”
"The eldest lady and the young master of the Bai family do have a fateful marriage, but the fate of the unmarried daughter is governed by her parents, and her marriage and fate are still in the hands of Master Qiu. I want her marriage and life not for my own use, but for seed to change the childless life for Master Qiu. As for the Baifu side, it's not something I should worry about. The man's voice was full of smiles, "Now as long as Master Qiu says a word, give it or not." ”
“…… What do you mean by that, sir? As if sensing something, Master Qiu suppressed his voice and asked softly.
"To give or not to give. Master Qiu, do you want to be the daughter of Mrs. Fate, or a son? ”
Asking questions one after another, it sounds gentle, but it makes people feel chills when they hear it.
Qiu Xiuya pressed her ears against the wall, her shoulders trembling. She clenched her fists for fear of making a sound.
Master Qiu was silent for a long time after hearing such a question, and seemed to be hesitating and struggling. For a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he said vigorously: "If I want a son, I only want a son." ”
The man's voice was still very gentle: "Okay, take out the pen and paper first, and retire from the family affairs of Baifu......"
Qiu Xiuya turned around sharply and ran towards the outside of the passage.
Rose followed her, a heart-wrenching pain in her chest. She thought, this is probably how Qiu Xiuya feels now. The family changed dramatically, and the second sister was forced to death by her father. The only thing that supports her is her lover Qiu Qiu, who is in her heart, and if Master Qiu withdraws from this family business, it will undoubtedly kill her.
She ran like crazy, twisting her foot and neck as she exited the doorway. But she didn't care, and limped towards the door of the antechamber. The eyes were red, covered with freshly bloodshot. Rose wants to help her, but as Doulan said, memories are immutable. Rose couldn't do anything but follow her. (To be continued.) )
