Twenty-sixth
It turned out that the person who came was none other than Yifei's half-brother, Zhao Yiammon, the second young master of the Zhao family.
If his sister Zhao Yifei is very much like Aunt Liu, he is very much like his father's fourth master, who doesn't like to read, and only likes to wander around. On this day, I followed the brothers to the school, and before I had stayed for a quarter of an hour, I suddenly cried out in pain while holding my stomach, pretending to be sick and taking leave with my husband and slipped out of school, and my feet were itchy and wanted to go out to wander around the street.
Although the second young master doesn't like to read and is idle, he also has the same benefit, treating his mother and sister very well, and he wants to go out to play, but he also remembers to come to Yifei and ask his sister if she wants anything to eat and play outside, so that he can bring it back.
I didn't want to, as soon as I found the lotus pond all the way, I saw that his sister was slapped by someone, and he was immediately angry, and he didn't look at who that person was, so he rushed over to avenge his sister-in-law. Seeing that it was his sister who was pushed to the ground by him, the old hatred and new hatred came to his heart together, and he rushed forward again.
Yi Hui stood on the side, seeing that it was not good, Jasmine, the little girl who was busy with her, stepped forward to stop her, but was pushed by Yi Ammonium's palms, and fell back and bumped into Yi Hui.
Yi Hui was in a panic, and Yi Fen suddenly rushed up and shouted: "Sister be careful!" Pushed her away, but for Yihui, Jasmine hit the railing all of a sudden, and her center of gravity was unstable, so she fell off the railing and fell into the lotus pond with a thud.
Everyone was shocked!
Cai Wei didn't expect that she just wanted to provoke a few quarrels, and in the end, someone would fall into the water and hurriedly call someone to save her. Fortunately, the sweet orange next to her was a water-savvy person, and she immediately turned around and jumped into the pool to hold Yifen up, and the railing was not very high, and several maids on it bent down and dragged Zhao Yifen up, and saw that she had a white face and had already fainted.
Yi Hui watched from the sidelines, and felt even more guilty in her heart, this sister she didn't like was knocked into the pool in order to save her. was wiping away tears, and saw the fourth wife running over with a few daughters-in-law, and when she saw this scene, she was also frightened, and said in a loud voice: "Ouch, this, how can this be born?" How did this happen? The old lady asked how to explain? β
Yizhi covered the elbow of her right arm, and didn't care about the fourth wife, and hurriedly instructed the daughters-in-law, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you quickly pick up the fourth girl and send it back to the room, and then hurry up to invite the doctor?" β
While carrying Yifen, the mothers-in-law asked, "But will you send it back to the yard where she lives?" β
Yi Zhi hesitated for a moment, then listened to Yi Hui say: "Send it to my residence, the courtyard where I live is the closest to here, and the fourth sister is like this, and she really can't send her back to the old lady's yard." β
The fourth lady was at a loss at this time, and after listening to the words of the two of her, she hurriedly said: "Let's do this first, quickly send the fourth girl to the third girl's room, and you all come with me first, and then go to the main courtyard with me." This matter must not be hidden, look back at the master and ask you. β
So everyone came to the courtyard where the second room lived, except for the second young master Zhao Yiammon, who saw that when he saw someone falling into the water, he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and took advantage of everyone's efforts to save people, and ran away as soon as he turned around.
Cai Wei asked Gan Tang to go back and change her clothes first, and then took a look at the gap, and hurriedly went to Yizhi's side to whisper a few words to her. Yizhi only then understood why Cai Wei was-for-tat with Yifei today, and she didn't give in at all, not as much as she smiled like before, and didn't bother to pay attention to it.
When everyone arrived at the inner courtyard of the second room, the second wife greeted her early, and after hearing the cause of the accident, she ordered the mothers-in-law to send Yifen into the west wing where Yihui lived.
The fourth wife saw that Yifen had the second wife and Yihui's mother and daughter to take care of, so she said that she had ordered someone to invite a doctor, so she led Yizhi and the other three to go back to the main courtyard, and was about to order someone to invite the fourth master, when she saw that the fourth master was followed by Aunt Liu, and the two of them came in with an unkind face.
It turned out that last night, the fourth master saw that it was rare to see that the weather was cold, so he and Aunt Liu played all kinds of tricks, and it was very late. I didn't get up this morning to go to the Taifu Temple to be on duty, anyway, he's just an idle guy in the temple of the sixth grade, and no one expects him to come to do a serious errand.
When Yifei sent the maid Xiaoju to come over to Aunt Liu for help, the two of them were still hugging in the bed tent and refused to get up. After hearing that Yifei was bullied in the house, he hurriedly got up and freshened up, dressed and wore a crown, and without waiting for the fourth wife to invite him, he took Aunt Liu to support his baby daughter.
As soon as Aunt Liu came in, when she saw half of Yi Fei's red and swollen little face, she immediately screamed and pounced, hugging Yi Fei's heart and liver in her arms and crying: "Which black-hearted and short-lived subordinate did this, and he can do it like this, even the uncle is reluctant to beat and scold you, which one of you dares to bully me like this?" Uncle, you have to be the master of our Sister Fei'er, who in this Manchurian Mansion doesn't know that your favorite is Sister Fei'er, this person beat Sister Fei'er, isn't it just slapping you in the face, uncle? β
The fourth old man saw the red and swollen half of his beloved daughter's face, and before Aunt Liu could say anything, he was already angry, and glared at the fourth wife angrily: "But you beat Fei'er, that's how you became a mother?" β
was about to continue scolding, when he heard Yizhi on the side say: "Master, don't be busy counting Mrs. Luo, you have wronged a good person in vain, this slap is what I taught my fifth sister a lesson." β
The fourth master couldn't help but be stunned, and before he could say anything, Aunt Liu was already crying, "Oh, I'm so miserable!" Why are you so unblessed, you didn't give birth to your wife's womb, but became my daughter, but you became a concubine because you were tired, and I don't know how much you have been bullied by your sister since you were a child? are all born to a father, how can they be superior to others and can bully people at will? β
The fourth wife is a cowardly and soft person again, she couldn't bear it when she heard people say this about Yizhi, and hurriedly said: "Where is this, I obviously saw with my own eyes that it was her brother Yi Ammonium who bullied Yi Zhi in the past, and pushed her to the ground, how did it become our Sister Zhi bullying you?" β
Yi Fei hurriedly said: "Daddy, my brother didn't push my sister down, but I couldn't see my sister beating me, and I wanted to come up and stop it, but with a slight block, my sister fell to the ground by herself." β
Cai Wei listened to it on the sidelines, and felt that it was really an eye-opener today, there were still such people who ignored the facts, reversed black and white, and beat a rake. not only picked himself cleanly, but also accused Yizhi of deliberately falling down and wanted to frame his brother and sister.
The fourth old man immediately roared at Yizhi with a fierce attitude: "Who allowed you to beat Fei'er, as the eldest sister, she has a child's heart, there is something wrong, you should only teach her well, how can you start beating people, this is a woman, the first thing is to be chaste." How can you raise your hand to beat your sister at every turn? β
Aunt Liu helped on the side, "What did your sister do wrong, and the uncle's wife hasn't spoken yet, but the eldest girl will teach your sister a lesson by herself?" β
Yizhi remembered the words that Cai Wei had bitten her ears with her, and was thinking about how to respond, but saw Cai Wei come forward, first saluted the fourth master, lowered her eyebrows and bowed her head: "Please uncle, don't blame the big sister, all the mistakes are the niece's fault." If it weren't for my childish nature, seeing that Sister Fei snatched a branch of pink lotus that I liked, I would definitely snatch back another branch of lotus from her hand, and I wouldn't have provoked Sister Fei's anger, and said a lot of uninaudible words, and the eldest sister taught her a few wordsββ"
Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Liu interjected and asked her, "What do you mean by something you can't hear?" What did our sister Fei say that she didn't want to provoke such a slap in the face of the eldest girl who disregarded her sisterhood? β
Cai Wei didn't look at her, just wept and said: "Fourth uncle, my mother is your sister-in-law, and now my mother and father and brother are gone, leaving me as an orphan girl, and now I have no other support except my uncle's house." It's no wonder that Sister Fei said that I just ran away without support, but my father and mother also left me a dowry, what were the dozens of boxes sent by Uncle Geng a few days ago? But how did I get to Sister Fei's mouth, I became a poor relative who had to point to the fourth uncle to eat, and if I was unhappy, I wanted the fourth uncle to drive me out, to see where else I could go to? β
"Ahem, ahem!" The fourth old man coughed twice, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to continue to listen to what his niece said.
"Don't say that I have that inheritance, that is, if I really come to my uncle penniless, will my uncle treat me poorly, and even want to drive me out? The eldest sister also listened to this too much, for fear of hurting the relationship between relatives and sisters, so she taught a few words and asked Sister Fei to accompany me. I don't want Sister Fei to say that I invited my uncle to accompany me out of the city to send off guests that day, but it was to meet a foreign man privately? Besides, my dearest flesh and blood, the clean reputation of one of my daughters' family is not so intolerant of slander. He also said that it was I who complained to the old lady that day, and the fourth uncle was punished and detained in the house for several days without going out. β
"Although my niece is stupid, she also knows that she should be a secret for His Holiness, and I never revealed my uncle's whereabouts that day. Just because my mother was in Japan, she often told me that when she was at home that day, there were so many brothers and sisters in the family, and only the fourth uncle and her were the best. Therefore, in the niece's heart, she is very close to her uncle, how can she go to her grandmother to talk? Please also ask your uncle to believe in the innocence of his niece! After speaking, he didn't need a mat, and knelt directly on the floor tiles.
The fourth master thought of his deceased third sister Zhao Mingqiu, and he was also a little embarrassed in his heart. If he is the most disliked male in this mansion, then his third sister is the daughter who is the least liked by his parents in this mansion. The sisters and brothers are both fathers who don't love their mothers, so they sympathize with each other and get along better than other brothers and sisters. At that time, most of the clothes, shoes and socks on the fourth master were made by his third sister himself, and later his third sister married the champion Zhou Zhen, and then left Beijing with her husband, and when she returned to the house to send things, the gift to him was also extremely kind, never favoring one over the other, unlike other snobbish people, and the gifts given to them in the four rooms were the simplest.
The fourth old man remembered the deep sister-brother relationship between him and his third sister, and couldn't help but feel a little incense for the daughter left by his third sister, and hurriedly ordered the fourth wife to help her up and said: "Uncle naturally believes in you, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is all Yizhi's fault!" β
After speaking, he glared at Yizhi, "Your sister is still young and ignorant, and it is common for children to quarrel and talk a few words of nonsense in a hurry, and Zhou Yatou is not an outsider, they are all relatives of the family, although they are wronged for a while, they will not take it to heart." It's that you think your sister is wrong, so you have to teach her what you want, why do you actually beat people? β
Yizhi had already sorted out the preface and afterwords at this time, and said unhurriedly: "My daughter beat her, not only because she was rude to the sister of the Zhou family, but also because her father loved her so much, but she said something disrespectful to her father, which made her daughter really unbearable, so she lost her etiquette and beat her." β
Before the fourth master could speak, Aunt Liu had already hugged Yifei and shouted, "Big girl, is she really talking nonsense with her eyes open?" Who in this Manchurian mansion doesn't know that the old uncle loves Sister Fei so much, just because she is the most filial and obedient child. Don't want to be stigmatized by the big girl? β
Yizhi sneered: "Say I framed her? Okay, Xiaoju, you are following your girl, what did your girl say in the pool before, does it mean that I am the eldest again, what is the use of not being favored by my father, otherwise why would my father be willing to promise me such a family affair and give me a cripple. And said that she would like to thank me, if it weren't for the light of my good family, she wouldn't have become the daughter of the Count? β
Yizhi's eyes were fixed on Xiao Ju, "Did the fifth girl of your family say these words?" β
"This-" Xiao Ju naturally knew that what the eldest girl said was true, but how dare she say a word.
Yizhi didn't embarrass her, "It's okay if you don't dare to say it, anyway, there will be a circle of people around the meeting, the third sister, the fourth sister and their maids are all listening on the side, if my father still doesn't believe it, just ask them." Listen, shouldn't my father slap his mouth when he says such unfilial and disrespectful things to his elders? Don't say that I only hit her once, but I won't wrong her if I hit her again twenty or thirty times! β
"I have passed the age of Xuan, my father is worried about my lifelong affairs, for fear of delaying me, so I can't take care of the number of courtesies, and I also found a good family for me in the filial piety period of the second uncle. This was originally out of a loving daughter's compassion, but I didn't want to go to the mouth of the fifth sister, but it became a betrayal of me to marry a cripple in exchange for this title. What is this not a slander against the father? Fathers have always loved their children the most, how could they do such shameless things that disregard the family of father and daughter? β
"What's more, because it is still the filial piety of the second uncle, this so-called family affair is just the intention of the two families, and it has not been put on the table yet. The fifth sister shouted out loudly regardless of this, and she was not afraid that if it spread, my father was kind to me, but he had to bear the infamy of filial piety. The fifth sister only wanted to be happy for a while, but did she ever think about where her father would be put in this move? β
Cai Wei laughed secretly when she heard it, she didn't expect this cousin to be such a wonderful person, so able to speak, and then peeked at the face of the fourth master, and saw that his old face was red and blue, and finally turned into a dark purple like pork liver.
The fourth master is simply embarrassed at this time, even though he is old and thick-skinned, he doesn't have much so-called father-daughter affection for this daughter who has not been raised under his knees since he was a child, and at this time, he can't help but have a little burn on his face, and he coughed twice and reprimanded Yi Fei: "Are these words that you should say as a daughter of everyone?" β
glared at Aunt Liu again, "It's all because you spoil her on weekdays, and you actually contradict her sister like this, and even I have made it up, why don't you take her back quickly, so that you can think about the past behind closed doors?" β
The fourth wife couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "It's the uncle who wants to punish Sister Fei to go back to face the wall, so it makes sense to let her bow to Zhou Yatou and her sister first!" "How can he roar so painlessly, and it's over.
"And Brother Ammonium, I saw him push his eldest sister to the ground with my own eyes, these sisters are delicate and expensive, and I don't know if they were hurt? As soon as he saw Sister Fen fall into the water, he ran away early, and when he came back, he had to make amends with his sister. β
Aunt Liu saw that the fourth wife took this opportunity to count down her pair of children, and she was extremely angry, and she hurriedly looked at her biggest backer, counting on her uncle to say something, and didn't want Zhao Mingzhen to look at her nephew and daughter who was standing on the side and still wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and said: "Mrs. said very much, Yifei, why don't you hurry up and make amends to your cousin of the Zhou family?" β
What Aunt Liu is best at in her life is to observe words and looks, and seeing that the fourth master's face is different from the past, she didn't dare to say more, so she had to coax her daughter to bow her head first. I don't want Zhao Yifei to grow so big, where was her father yelled at her so violently, and in front of so many people she had never been angry about, even her aunt, who had always loved her the most, asked her to make amends to the girl of the Zhou family. Immediately, her eyes turned red, and she shouted: "Why do you want me to compensate her, she sued her father, but her father protected her, and he embarrassed his own daughter for such an outsider?" β
The fourth old man usually sees this daughter behaving in front of him, where has he seen such a temper tantrum look, he not only thinks that his nephew's daughter is pitiful, but also feels that his own daughter seems to have a point or two of truth.
was struggling with difficulties, so I heard Yizhi say coldly: "My father has seen it, and the fifth sister doesn't obey her father's orders, but she is still so noisy and presumptuous in front of her father!" Such unfilial and disrespectful behavior really makes my daughter ashamed to be a sister with her! β
"The day before yesterday, my father had an order, let me be in line with filial piety, half of the dowry left by my biological mother to the fifth sister, although I was unwilling, but after all, it was my father's fate that could not be violated, but I accidentally injured my hand, and when my hand was healed, I signed the deed and divided half of the dowry to my sister as a dowry. But today's sister's move is too chilling for me, if she just insults me, I have not been raised by my father's side since I was a child, and my sister is not satisfied with me, but my father loves her so much, she is not only grateful, but so disrespectful to her father, that is, I gave up this half of the makeup, and I will never give such an unfilial and unvirtuous daughter! β
When Aunt Liu heard this, she immediately became anxious, and hurriedly called: "Uncle! β
Although Yi Fei is at fault for this scene today, it is his daughter who has been pampered for eleven years, and then he saw the earnest little eyes thrown by Aunt Liu. The fourth old man coughed twice, and said with his two short whiskers: "Uh, your sister didn't mean to do this today, she is young and ignorant after all, see me punish her well and let her apologize to you, don't hurt your sister's harmony for such a trivial matter?" After all, you're such a sisterβ"
Just said this, I heard a voice outside: "I don't know how Uncle plans to punish Sister Fei to make amends to Zhi Yatou?" β
