Chapter 47: Beaten
Aunt Mo tightly tugged on the eighth master's sleeve to stop Yinlan who was about to run out of the door, "Master, now I am the old lady's housekeeper, if I knew that the aunts were fighting each other, I would blame the master, I won't get in the way, just let Yinlan give me some medicine." ”
When the eighth master heard her say this, he was also afraid for a while, he was just reprimanded by his mother in the morning, saying that the concubines fought with each other and ruined the door, telling him to pay attention to it, and not to condone the big mess.
He didn't think so at the time, he felt that the old lady was making a big fuss, and he knew that his aunt was jealous and enjoyed it, after all, they were all attentive, and the old lady was very unhappy when she looked at him.
Now that Aunt Mo's head is broken, if this Mother Zheng works harder, won't she die, if this matter spreads, the reputation of their Chu family's fourth room will be completely ruined.
He was angry, and suddenly heard the thick voice of Zheng's mother beside him, "Old slave, old slave didn't push her, you slut, you dare to frame her!" ”
Chu Baye was even more angry when he heard that she didn't cover her mouth like this, and pointed at her and said in a trembling voice, "You, you dare to ......"
He was originally a soft-tempered person, except for quarreling with Ruan, he basically never had a conflict with anyone, and every time he quarreled with Ruan, he was completely crushed by her, and he was defeated before he had time to fight back.
Aunt Mo didn't pay attention to Mother Zheng at all, and only hid in the arms of the eighth master and cried.
Then Mother Zheng knelt down and pulled the hem of the eighth master's clothes and begged, "Master, she is pretending," she pointed to Aunt Mo, "Aunt Qin is not well, she just wants to see the master." ”
The eighth master saw Zheng's mother's black and thick fingers pulling the feet of his robe, and remembered the snot yesterday, and suddenly his stomach surged, and he was so nauseous that he couldn't breathe.
He pointed at Zheng's mother in a trembling voice, "You, you get out of here!" ”
When Yinlan heard the eighth master's words, she immediately called Jin Lan and several mothers-in-law in the courtyard to drag Zheng's mother out.
Mother Zheng still shouted to herself, "Wronged, wronged, master, it's all that, that framed the slave and maid......"
The maids and daughters-in-law were not as strong as Mother Zheng, and it was already very reluctant to drag her out of the door, and it was even more impossible to get a handkerchief to plug her mouth, so she had to go all the way from Aunt Mo's yard to Aunt Qin's yard.
Aunt Qin was lying on the bed, but when she heard that the master was coming, she was in Aunt Mo's yard, so she ordered Zheng's mother to invite, but she didn't want Zheng's mother to be escorted back, so she hurriedly put on her clothes and got out of bed to see.
The eighth master was personally giving medicine to Aunt Mo here, but he heard the rumors outside that Aunt Qin had come to ask for guilt, and was about to call her in, but he heard Aunt Mo sobbing beside him, "Master, go and see Aunt Qin, didn't Mother Zheng say that Aunt Qin was sick?" Maybe she didn't lie on purpose, it must be that Aunt Qin misses her master. ”
When the eighth master heard this, he remembered the incident of the previous day, and Aunt Qin also sent Mother Zheng to drag herself to Aunt Qin's house, but saw that although she was pale, she was not so strict.
It's not that he didn't notice Aunt Qin's little tricks, but he just regarded this as a kind of love between him and his concubine, and this kind of interest was only a seasoning when the years were quiet, and at this time......
The eighth master looked at Aunt Mo, who still had red blood stains on her cheeks and white gauze wrapped around her head, and then looked at the mess, was ruthless, and said angrily, "Send Aunt Qin back to her yard and think about it behind closed doors." ”
When the courtyard was quiet again, the eighth master took the hand towel handed by Yinlan, helped Aunt Mo wipe the blood on her face, and comforted her softly.
Aunt Mo sobbed and got into the arms of the eighth master, but the corners of her mouth raised a smug arc.
Early the next morning, the old lady was furious when she learned of this, and sent Shen's mother to take a few powerful mothers-in-law, dragged Zheng's mother to the yard and beat her twenty boards, and punished Aunt Qin for copying the female ring a hundred times. At the same time, I rewarded some ointments and supplements to Aunt Mo to show comfort.
The most indispensable thing is that the old lady pulled the eighth master to talk alone.
Xiusun didn't bother to eavesdrop on this conversation.
However, the old lady's education is very effective, the eighth old man has been sitting in Ruan's house for half an hour every day, caring for the pregnant Ruan, Ruan often stares at him with a straight face, she feels that taking a second look at the eighth master is hindering prenatal education, and hopes that he will leave quickly.
Aunt Mo got the tonic from the old lady that day, and turned around and picked a few items and took them to Aunt Wang's yard in person.
Aunt Wang was sitting at the stone table next to the wisteria trellis basking in the sun, and when she saw Aunt Mo coming, she smiled faintly, "I see that you look good, you should have achieved your goal?" ”
Aunt Mo smiled and sat down opposite her, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Aunt Wang with her own hands, "I also want to thank my sister for her strategy, I only see the cheap * maid surnamed Zhao pretending to be pitiful on weekdays, thinking that she just needs to cry, but I didn't expect there to be so many doorways." Thinking of something again, he said hatefully, "And that cheap maid surnamed Zhao dares to frame her, one day, I will not let her have a good time." ”
Aunt Wang picked up the teacup and drank it with a smile, but lowered her eyes to hide her disdain and contempt.
Aunt Mo saw that she only smiled and didn't speak, thinking that this was also a hypocrisy, afraid that she wouldn't give her ideas next time, so she said generously, "Don't worry, as long as I can hold the master's heart, he will definitely say good words to the master one day and find a proud husband for your family Xiuzhi." ”
Aunt Wang looked up at her again and smiled shyly, lowered her head and continued to drink tea, thinking, do you also want to hold the master's heart?
She is the eldest of several aunts, she has served in the Huanshi Mountain House since she was a child, and she has risen from the little girl who runs errands all the way to the second class, almost watching the eighth master grow up, the eighth master seems to be amorous, but in fact the most ruthless, Aunt Mo always feels that she is the most favored, but she doesn't know that the eighth master is the same to everyone.
Even if it was the new Aunt Qin, the eighth master certainly admired it very much, but after two days, he didn't pay much attention.
Oh, of course, Mrs. is an exception, that's because Mrs. has never given the Eighth Master a chance to pity, and one day Mrs. will be soft, and maybe.
And Aunt Mo is just a gun that can be used at critical moments.
- I'm the dividing line of my aunts, whose combat effectiveness is so strong, Aunt Qin won't be like this-
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eighth master was still locked in the room of Jiangnan Gongyuan, starved and frozen, and his sleep was unstable, and the family was not in the mood for the festival, but the old lady and a few daughters got together for a meal. On that day, the eighth old man came back from Jinling, and because of Aunt Qin's matter, the old lady was angry, and she didn't put on the wine.
Now that the season of chrysanthemum crab fat has not passed, the old lady gathered the family members to eat crabs a few times, and the eighth master was very interested, so he slowly dismantled the crabs with warm rice wine, and taught his daughters eight crabs. Xiusun looked at the eighth master's smug face, and secretly wondered, is he very sure that he will be moved?
Ruan Shi is pregnant and should not eat crabs, so he sat on the side and joined in the fun.
Of course, the aunts have no share, but they will inevitably get excited, the eighth master is rarely at home, and because his wife is pregnant, he will not stay in the Green Jiexuan, so where else can he go if he doesn't go to the Fufen Pavilion?
However, the struggle is a little severe, after the mountain verandah between the onion Jiexuan and the Lingfen Pavilion was closed, the small door in the southeast corner was opened, this small door was on the edge of Aunt Mo's courtyard gate, the old man wanted to go to the courtyard of the two aunts of King Zhao, and he had to pass in front of Aunt Mo's door, and if he wanted to go to Aunt Qin's courtyard, the nearest path was to pass through Aunt Mo's courtyard.
The eighth master stayed at Aunt Mo's almost every night, which made the other three grit their teeth with hatred.
The autumn wind was sorrowful, but Aunt Mo was proud of the spring breeze, but unfortunately she hadn't been proud for a few days, and a thunderbolt hit the Buddha Hand Lake Courtyard on a sunny day.
News came from Jinling that the laurel list had been released, and there was no name on the list of eight masters.
Click. Boom boom.
The most peaceful is Ruan's, she never believed that the eighth master could be so amazing, and always firmly believed that he was a large embroidered pillow, when her grandmother married her to the eighth master, it was not because she took a fancy to the eighth master, but believed in the old lady, Ruan's plan for her life is to be the wife of a clean and upright scholar, and she doesn't have to worry about someone taking her dowry, and then she can do business freely and make a lot of money. At present, for her, except that she does not have a son and her husband is very annoying, she has basically achieved her goal.
Xiusun is also very calm, she has seen the world, so she is indifferent, the only thing she doubts is how the second old lady in the second room of the small second room can look away, she is too disappointed, not so much the disappointment of the pretentious sour scholar Chu You, but the disappointment of the famous old fox Chu Changxun.
The other sisters were also disappointed, their father's reputation was not obvious, and the most they could do as concubines would marry the rich man in the countryside, and if they didn't get it right, they would fill the house.
The aunts are also lost, because the eighth master who has not been lifted is more depressed, and he is not in the mood to care for them.
The eighth master reacted the strongest, he felt that this matter was completely unbelievable, how could he not be hit, and was about to go to Jinling to confirm it in person, but he might as well be dragged by the old lady by the ears all the way into the small Buddha hall.
In the small Buddha hall, there is the ranking of Chu Changyun, the father of the eighth master.
The old lady carried a feather duster and beat the unobtrusive son in front of the tablet of the deceased husband.
She had wanted to do this for a long time, and she had thought that if she was hit, the eighth master would have to go to the Luming Banquet, and it would definitely not work with an injury, but now it's okay, hum, you don't have to go to the Luming Banquet, and you won't delay anything if you raise it at home for ten days and half a month.
The old lady scolded while beating, I told you to be pretentious, arrogant, out of tune, out of tune! The people in the courtyard were empty, but they could still hear the old lady's scolding and the eighth master's howl.
The eighth old man was very shocked, very sad, looking at the blood marks on his body, he still felt unbelievable, he had the impression from childhood to adulthood, his mother was always loving, rarely angry, so he often did not take his mother's dissatisfaction seriously, he didn't understand how evil he was, which made the old lady explode so much.
The old lady has been through ups and downs for half her life, and she has never done such heavy physical work, due to her lack of experience, she has no head in her hands, and she did not stop until she split the feather duster in her hand, and at this time the eighth master has been beaten on the back and there is no good meat on her legs.
She herself collapsed to the ground in fright, and almost passed out.
The eighth old man was frightened, and crawled to the old lady's side with difficulty to help him, but he had no strength at all, so he had to call Mother Shen outside the door with his already dumb voice.
Shen's mother rushed in with Xiusun, who was not worried about coming back to check, Qi Qi was frightened by this scene, the old lady fainted to the ground, her face was like gold paper, and the dark pattern of Hangzhou silk on the eighth master's body was smashed, and the bright red blood was mottled, and the old lady was really ruthless.
didn't care about any face, Shen's mother immediately turned around to call someone, and Xiusun rushed to the old lady's side to pinch people, the old lady just turned her back on her breath for a while, and after waking up slowly, her face was better.
The old lady stared at the eighth master, pointed at him with a hateful look that she had never had, and said, "You, from today onwards, there will be no monthly money, let me live in the Green Door, and if your sister-in-law is not born for a day, you will not be allowed to come out for a day." ”
Xiusun sighed, it seems that the old lady is desperate for the eighth master, it's just so stupid, she can't even pass the exam, what's the use! It's better to start a new stove as soon as possible and start cultivating the eldest grandson.
