Twenty-fourth

Since entering June, this day is getting hotter and hotter, it is rare that there is a rain on this day, a little less heat, Cai Wei will take advantage of the coolness, crooked on the bamboo couch to close his eyes and recuperate.

She really wants to find a book to read, but everything she can find here are books like "The Female Ring" and "Boudoir Fan" that make people depressed when they read it, where can they be like when she was at home, what subsets of scriptures and histories, and Zhiwei novels can be picked up and read at random. She had to close her eyes and think back to the famous chapters of the hundred schools of thought that her father told her to memorize.

She was silently reciting the "Han Feizi Five Worms" chapter in her heart, when suddenly the bamboo curtain was lifted suddenly, and Yizhi walked in with an angry face.

Cai Wei couldn't help but be startled when she saw the look on her face, and hurriedly sat up, and then saw that she was wrapped in a handkerchief on her right hand, which revealed a few bright red colors. couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister, what's wrong, but I hurt my hand." Xiangcheng, go to Mama Du and bring the medicine box, and then ask her to come and show my sister! ”

In the two or three years that Mama Du stayed in Zhou's mansion, because the girl to be raised was personally taught by her father in every detail, and even in order to have more time to teach her the things in the books, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even the needlework girl did not let her learn, in addition to a few strokes every day, either to teach her to endorse, or to tell her about what he had seen and heard over the years, and also told her a lot of cases he handled for her.

Therefore, in the past three years, Mama Du's upbringing has been very leisurely, and Master Zhou saw that she was fine, so he gave her a few medical books and let her read some health regimens. Later, when I saw that she was interested, I invited a female doctor to teach her, and in the past three years, Mama Du has a little understanding of medical skills. When I went to Beijing from Shuzhong, I prepared a medicine box and brought all kinds of commonly used medicines.

At one moment, Mama Du came over and untied the handkerchief that Yizhi wrapped in her hand to see that there was a long wound on her index finger, as if it had been cut by some sharp weapon, and the cut was dripping with blood, which made people feel so sad.

Gan Tang had already made a basin of warm water, Mama Du used a clean handkerchief to wet it, first wiped the blood on Yizhi's hands, then took out the wound medicine from the medicine box, sprinkled it on the wound, and finally wrapped her in gauze.

Yizhi didn't cry out in pain, and she didn't frown, but just sat there biting her lips, her face flushed, as if she was extremely angry.

Seeing that her wounds had been properly treated, Cai Wei invited everyone out first, and then asked her, "Sister, what's wrong?" Not only did he hurt his hand, but where else did he get angry? ”

Yizhi heard what she said, and saw that there was no one else in the room except for her, so she suddenly cried loudly, which frightened Cai Wei. Since she was a child, she had never seen her cousin cry, and she knew that something big must have happened this time, so she hurriedly hugged her shoulders and said, "If my sister is sad, just cry." After saying this, he didn't say much, just hugged her in his arms, gently stroked her shoulders and back, and handed her a handkerchief from time to time to wipe her tears.

Yizhi's crying seemed to leak out the tears that had been saved for several years, tears were like rain, crying so short of breath that it took two quarters of an hour to gradually stop.

Cai Wei still didn't ask anything, went out and asked for a basin of hot water to come in, took a towel and wiped her face.

I heard Yizhi say hatefully: "I never imagined that there would be such a black-hearted and rotten thing in the world, and there would be no shameless thing." I thought that even my whole life had been told to be calculated by them, and what else could there be for them to calculate, but I never expected that there would be such a shameless person in the world! Even such a shameless thing can be done? ”

"Just now my good father called me over, I just thought he had something to do, but I didn't expect that he actually asked me to sign a paper deed, so that I promised to divide the dowry industry left to me by my own mother and Yifei, saying that we are all sisters from the same father, she is also the daughter of my mother's name, as the eldest sister, how can I enjoy a dowry of nearly 30,000 taels of silver, but looking at the first father's own sister only 5,000 taels of dowry, it is better to divide the property left to me by my mother into two and give half to my sister, Is it also the friendship and filial piety between sisters and fathers and daughters? ”

"It's not that I feel sorry for those silvers, it's just that if it weren't for Aunt Liu's slut, how could my mother leave me and die early! When my mother was almost eight months pregnant with me, the eldest lady led her cousin Liu to our hospital, saying that her cousin was six months pregnant, and the child in the womb belonged to my good father. ”

"I just made a fuss and married the Liu family to make a partial house, which made me so angry that I was born prematurely, and I couldn't recuperate well during the confinement and fell ill. When she gave birth to a son, she was even more proud, and she secretly instigated my good father to steal my mother's dowry, or make trouble with my mother. After my mother gave birth to me, her health was not good, and she was angry with her for three days, but she died of illness in three years. ”

When Yizhi said this, tears couldn't help but flow from her eyes, and she choked up: "When my mother was seriously ill, she knew that my father was unreliable, so she begged my grandmother to raise me in front of her, and made a suicide note to leave me the rest of her makeup, and specially packed it up and handed it over to my grandmother for me to keep it, just for fear that Aunt Liu's slut would make the master greedy for those things." Over the years, if I hadn't been raised by my grandmother's side and protected by my grandmother, I was afraid that I wouldn't have lived so much. Unexpectedly, seeing that I was about to go out, that slut still refused to let me go. Even the little thing my mother left me has to take a bite of! ”

Cai Wei was so angry when she heard this, this is all a father, how can this father be so hated to scold twice? Her father has always respected her mother very much, and the two have been respectful of each other for more than ten years, not to mention the concubines and the like, even if they don't even have a roommate. After the death of her two brothers and mother, her father neither renewed nor took another concubine to have children, and always said that having her daughter was enough.

But his fourth uncle, not only spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, but also regarded his daughter as not his own daughter in order to favor the concubine, which is really chilling.

Yizhi cried a lot, and said hatefully: "I know that this must be the idea that the slut of the Liu family came up with again, but I hate that my good father always obeys her, and uses filial piety to pressure me, and even the deed is ready, just wait for me to sign and draw the pledge." I couldn't see it, so I had to deliberately knock over the tea bowl, throw the handkerchief to the ground, and deliberately hold a piece of broken porcelain and ......scratch it on my finger when I picked up the handkerchief, so I escaped this time temporarily. I'm afraid that when the injury on my hand heals, the lord will force me to sign and draw the pledge again. Good sister, you are a smart and thoughtful person, the last time my stepmother was thanks to you, this time you have a way to help me, I will remember you for the rest of my life! ”

Cai Wei hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, let's discuss and discuss, we will definitely be able to come up with a way." ”

But having said that, this matter is really not very easy to handle, the fourth wife to the fourth master, although it is the husband and wife, but there are clouds: "The wife, Qi also", in the end can still fight one or two. Ke Yizhi confronted her father, as long as the fourth master moved out of the word "filial piety", she couldn't disobey, otherwise she would be disobedient and unfilial.

The two of them and Mama Du discussed it until midnight and didn't come up with a good solution. Although it was a way to ask Mrs. Tai to make the decision, first, Yizhi didn't want her grandmother to be angry again, and second, her father forced her to swear that she couldn't tell her grandmother about it, although her father was unkind, she couldn't do it without faith.

In the end, seeing that there was no good way, Yizhi couldn't help but hate: "If it's really impossible, when the master forces me again, I'll die in front of him!" It just so happens that I don't have to marry that left-hand son anymore! ”

bluffed Cai Wei hurriedly said: "Sister, don't think like this, if you really hit your head like this, can you keep the dowry left by your mother?" It's just to make the relatives bitter and the enemies happy! We can drag on for another two or three days, and maybe we can come up with an idea in those two days! Sister, don't worry, it's late today, sister has a good sleep first, and let's find a way tomorrow. ”
