Chapter 109: Aftermath
The Jin family is located in Fuyuan County, 800 miles away from Lin'an City, and the people sent by Mrs. Jin to report the funeral set off early in the morning, and they hurried non-stop on the road, but it was already night when they arrived at the Jin family.
The people of the Jin family had already rested, and the door was suddenly slammed, and only then did the old man Fu reluctantly crawl out of the quilt with his arms around the porter where his daughter-in-law was just about to sleep, and casually carried a coat and put it on, and pulled his shoes and scolded to open the door.
"Stop shooting! It's coming, it's coming! What's the hurry? Is there a dead man in your house? He scolded angrily, reaching out to pull the deadbolt from the door.
It was a young man who came, because he had been instructed by Mrs. Jin to rush to the Jin family within today's time, because he didn't dare to stay all the way, and when he arrived at the meal, he only rode on horseback and hurriedly nibbled a few mouthfuls of dry food, and now he was hungry and thirsty, full of resentment, and when he heard the people at the door indiscriminately open his mouth and curse people, he couldn't help but be anxious, and scolded in a loud voice:
"Fuck you! Someone is dead, but not mine! It's your home! ”
"Whew!" Old man Fu opened the door a crack, poked his head out, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm at the little girl, "When the old man's mother was buried in the soil, you still had birds exposed!" Do you dare to play tricks in front of the old man? ”
"My day!" The little guy wiped the phlegm off his face with his sleeve in annoyance, and the fishy smell almost made him vomit, but he had nothing to vomit in his stomach at this time.
"You old immortal!" He grabbed Old Man Fu's collar, pulled him out of the door, raised his fist and beckoned Old Man Fu.
"How dare you spit out Lao Tzu! My father and mother haven't dared to do this yet! Look at Lao Tzu, I won't teach you a lesson today, this old immortal! ”
Old man Fu ate a few fists firmly, where can the old body and bones eat? It only hurts so much that I scream.
"Doll, you are bold! Do you know where this is! He hurriedly said: "This is the Jin Mansion, and the Xie Mansion in Lin'an City is the in-laws, if you don't stop, just wait for the old man and I will twist you to see the official!" ”
"I'm afraid of you birds!" The little guy chirped, and gave him another time, "Lao Tzu is on an errand in the Xie Mansion, afraid that you will be an old immortal?" Carefully delay Lao Tzu's business, teach you to roll up and get out! ”
"What?" Old man Fu only thought that he had misheard, and used his arm to block the falling fist. While asking, "Doll, where do you say you are from?" ”
The little guy kicked his ass hard, "Xie Fu's!" Hurry up and report to Lao Tzu! If you're delayed, you're ready to go home and play with your eggs! ”
Old man Fu staggered into the door.
"Ignorant cow baby." He bared his teeth in pain as he reached out to pat the ash off his buttocks. While whispering, he deliberately played ruthlessly: "If the old man is twenty years younger, keep the big-eared scraper and whip him!" ”
The Jin family was noisy at night.
"What did you say?"
The old man who said this sat on the main seat of the hall, and he was probably afraid of the cold, so he was wrapped in a heavy wool coat, and he looked old and thin. He was woken up in his sleep and said he was asked to see him. He originally intended to let people send him out, but he heard that it was someone sent by Xie Fu, so he struggled to get up with an old bone. Before he saw the visitor, he sat on the chair and couldn't help but nod his head and drowsiness, never thought that the first thing the visitor said after kneeling down was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head and face in the winter, and he suddenly woke up when he was cold.
"What did you say?" He asked incredulously.
The young man took a deep breath, squeezed out a very sad look on his face, and bowed down again with a dry howl.
"The old lady asked me to pass on a message, and Aunt and Grandma Jin went. Please also ask Mr. Jin, you must mourn! ”
"Go?" Old Man Jin's body shook and he almost fell off the chair, and the maid next to him exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly supported him.
Old Man Jin raised his hand, shook off the hands supported by the maids, got up slowly, walked tremblingly in front of the little girl, raised his foot and kicked it hard.
"How dare you talk nonsense!"
He trembled all over, his voice trembled violently, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, "Someone! Pull this cunning bastard out and kill it! ”
The little guy who was still fierce in front of Old Man Fu was kicked to the ground now, but he didn't dare to complain. didn't care about the pain, got up quickly, still knelt respectfully, and kowtowed again and again: "Old man Jin is angry!" Everything the kid says is the truth! The boy also carried a letter written by the old lady herself. If you still don't believe the kid after reading it, then it's not too late to beat the kid to death! ”
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.
Old Man Jin looked at his sister's familiar handwriting, and his body shook again.
He took the letter with trembling hands. Trembling hands slowly opened, only to see the first two sentences, the whole person suddenly struck like lightning, and the letter paper floated down from his fingertips.
The little guy who didn't dare to look up raised his eyes and secretly glanced at the letterhead, he didn't know much, and he looked at the letterhead so-so, and pieced together the words he knew in his heart, which was about the meaning of "sister is ashamed of brother".
"Father!" Hearing the sound, the Jin family man hurriedly walked into the hall.
"What's wrong? Why did Xie Fu suddenly send someone? He was puzzled, and when he saw that Mrs. Jin looked lost and depressed, a bad guess suddenly arose in his heart.
"Is it my aunt?" He said cautiously.
Old lady Jin shook his head slowly, and his already old face looked even more vicissitudes, "It's not your aunt, it's your sister......"
"What's wrong with my sister?" The Jin family was taken aback, "Could it be that he is sick?" ”
"No, it's not sick, it's better if you're sick...... Old Lady Jin said abruptly: "Yes...... It's gone......"
The Jin family was dumbfounded on the spot, and said at a loss: "Father, what did you say?" How could my sister be gone? Should we report to the police first? ”
When Mrs. Jin heard this, she couldn't help but think of the cause of Jin Suyun's death that Mrs. Jin vaguely mentioned in the letter, and a resentment suddenly arose in her heart, and he shouted: "Let go of your mother's fart!" What officer? Do you still want your sister to die without peace, and be chewed behind her back? Go pack your things and pick up your sister from Xie Mansion early tomorrow morning! ”
The eldest man of the Jin family has not been trained by Mrs. Jin since he became an adult, and he was scolded for this time tonight without knowing it, only feeling embarrassed and angry, but he diluted the surprise and grief of hearing the news of Jin Suyun's death.
Old lady Jin threw up his sleeves angrily and went to the hall, he tried his best to straighten his waist, but his steps staggered a little.
"What's crazy?" The eldest man of the Jin family scolded in a low voice, and when he turned his head, he saw a person kneeling at his feet.
"The person sent by the Xie family to report the news is you, right?" He frowned and asked, "How did my sister die?" Why is it so good that it is suddenly gone? ”
The little girl looked a little hesitant, obviously not knowing whether to say it or not.
"Say." The Jin family said unhappily.
The little servant had no choice but to say: "You have recently had a flower thief in our city." Aunt Kim was unfortunately targeted ......"
Only then did the Jin family know why he hesitated and didn't dare to say it, and he also knew why the old lady Jin suddenly got angry, after all, this matter is really a bit dishonorable, if it gets out. I'm afraid that I won't even be able to keep Jin Suyun's reputation.
"Flower thief......" he gritted his teeth and hated: "Are you all hungry in Lin'an City who eat dung?" ”
The little guy didn't dare to answer.
The Jin family looked at him, and suddenly remembered another person.
"Okay, you're strict! I sent my sister to your Xie family, and that's how you treated her? He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in hatred.
The horses of the Jin family are no better than the fine horses carefully selected by the Xie family, and no matter how much they rush in a day, they can't travel many miles. It was only half the way from the time I came out in the morning to the west.
The housekeeper of the Jin family patted his horse forward, half a horse behind the old lady Jin and his son, who were with a straight face, and said cautiously: "Master, do you want to stay tonight?" ”
Old lady Jin kept his face calm and didn't speak, and he wanted to stay and rest for one night in his selfish heart, but it was really because he was old and couldn't stand the bumps in the road.
"Live ......"
He spoke. The eldest man of the Jin family, who had been quietly looking at his face, preemptively scolded the housekeeper and said, "a fart!" It's a big deal to take the young lady home, so why should you be playing? ”
Old lady Jin silently closed her mouth.
After scolding the housekeeper, the eldest man of the Jin family turned his head and changed his face again, and said with a flattering smile at the old lady Jin: "Father, that's what you mean, right?" ”
Now, if he says no, won't he be gossiped about not valuing his daughter and coveting enjoyment? Old lady Jin hated how he had a pig-brained son, but he had to nod slowly and inconspicuously on his face.
So I hurried overnight, and finally arrived at Xie Mansion at the end of the day.
Zhao San hurriedly greeted him, invited everyone from the Jin family into the house, and helped lead the horses to the stables.
Mrs. Jin was kneeling in the Buddha hall and chanting Buddha. The attitude is more religious than ever. Because there have been two murders in the house in the past few days, one of which is still her niece, she is really scared.
"Guanyin Niangniang, the old body has been worshiping you for half a lifetime. I never dare to be a little dishonest, and please Guanyin Niangniang must bless my Xie family's descendants! ”
The Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows and looked compassionate.
"Old lady, old lady is here." Mama Kim opened the curtain and walked in.
Old Madam Jin's body shook, "It's coming so soon?" ”
"Hmm." Mama Jin nodded and said, "I heard that I came overnight, and everyone is sitting in the hall." ”
"Have you seen Su Yun?" Old Madam Kim seemed to want to stand up. I just don't know if it's because I've been kneeling for too long or what, and my legs are weak and I can't stand up.
Mama Jin hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold her, "No, Miss Suyun looks like that now, how dare we let the old lady see it." ”
Mrs. Jin was helped by her to sit on the chair and sighed: "If you don't dare to look at it, you have to see it!" You have to let you take it back, don't you? Go for yourself and show them around. ”
"Then ......" Mama Jin looked a little hesitant, wanting to ask Mrs. Jin if she wanted to go out.
The two of them have been facing each other for decades, and with one expression on her face, Mrs. Jin can guess her thoughts, she only raised her hand, and said with a tired face: "You go first!" I'll sit down for a while and then go out. ”
Mama Jin nodded yes and went first.
Old Madam Jin leaned on the chair and slowly exhaled a turbid breath, but her heart was still panicked.
"I don't have a face, how can I be embarrassed to see my brother......" she looked at the Bodhisattva and muttered in a low voice.
It's no wonder that Mama Jin didn't dare to take Mrs. Jin and others to see Jin Suyun's corpse without permission, but it was really Jin Suyun's corpse that was too unrecognizable.
Old lady Jin looked at her daughter in the coffin, and almost couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.
She ...... She ...... "He shook his hands and looked at Mama Kim in disbelief, and he couldn't say a word.
"Father." The eldest man of the Jin family endured the nausea in his heart, and turned around to give the old lady Jin a good breath, "Don't worry, don't worry, be careful." ”
Old Lady Jin took a deep breath like a person with asthma, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, "This...... Is this Suyun? ”
Mama Jin nodded slowly and couldn't bear it, and said softly, "I soaked in the water for a night." ”
Old lady Jin couldn't relieve this breath in the end, and her eyes rolled and fainted.
The eldest man of the Jin family caught the fallen body of the old lady Jin with an exclamation, glanced at the coffin with fear and disgust, and said angrily: "Why don't you cover it quickly?" ”
The subordinates of the Xie family only responded resignedly, and hurriedly lifted the lid of the coffin and closed it, and in the process, everyone had a tacit understanding not to look at the people in the coffin.
It's really miserable, Aunt Jin was such a standard person when she was alive, but her face was swollen like a pig's head after death, no wonder Mrs. Jin fainted.
Mama Jin hurriedly arranged for people to carry Mrs. Jin to the wing room to rest.
The servants then hurriedly came to the shoulders and feet of the old lady Tokin again.
The eldest man of the Jin family retreated to the side, and only told him from time to time: "Slow down, be careful not to fall the old man." ”
There was a commotion in the house, and a few more people hurriedly walked in from outside the house, led by Xie Qian, the second master of Xie, the third master of Xie and the fourth master Xie Zhen.
"What's wrong? How could my uncle faint? Second Master Xie looked anxious, stepped forward to take it personally, and held up Old Lady Jin's shoulder.
"Aren't you too tired?" Master Xie San frowned and said, "I heard that he came overnight, my uncle and his old man are old, where can he withstand the toss?" Yu An, why don't you persuade him to come by carriage? ”
Yu An is the name of the Jin family's eldest man, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but argue: "Where is the carriage fast to ride a horse?" ”
As soon as he said that, he was shocked to realize that this sounded a little unfilial, and hurriedly said: "It's not that I haven't persuaded the old man, but the old man has a stubborn temper, you don't know, where is he willing to listen to me?" ”
"What my cousin said is right, it's not the time to talk about this now, I think we'd better carry my uncle to rest first!" Fourth Master Xie played a round game.
Everyone should say yes in unison.
The Jin family didn't appreciate it, he took a step forward, reached out and grabbed the collar of Xie Si, and punched him in the face.
"Don't think that if you speak for me, I will forgive you! You are such a thing, if I don't punch you a few times, I won't be Jin Yu'an! (To be continued.) )
