Chapter 61: Dead Silence (I)
Often, bad news spreads quickly as if it has long legs, and this matter cannot be stopped, and it is impossible to avoid letting the eldest lady know.
Because Mrs. Tai, who has not asked about things for a long time, has spoken.
"With the courage to face danger and not panic, our family can stand tall for so many years." Mrs. Tai sat up straight on the Taishi chair at the top, her voice was full of anger, and she said: "It is the blood relatives of the eldest daughter-in-law who are slandered, and I can understand and understand your panic." ”
Xingzhao sat at the end with his head down, things were forced to this point, and it was normal for Mrs. Tai to make a move. Feng Andong is a well-known minister, the year before last, he wrote a sword to Zhang Ge Lao's new law, but in fact, he was greedy for his own comfort, forcing Zhang Ge Lao Zhishi to return to his hometown, and at the same time, he also became famous in a fight.
Sister Ting'er of the Shi family of An Guogong said that he was the eldest daughter of Zhang Ge's hometown, but now that the Zhang family has declined, the Shi family has to make an appearance of keeping its promise and marry Mrs. Zhang, otherwise the Shi family will become the villain who falls into the well.
"Thank you for your concern." The eldest lady's face has not been good since the incident, but she has never been as sad as she is today, although her expression is sad, she seems to be a little energetic.
The eldest lady's soft voice pulled Xingzhao's thoughts back, Xingzhao looked up, and the lady had a forehead on her forehead, with royal blue silkworm silk as the base, and only a few pearls were dotted on it, and there was nothing else.
Mrs. Tai is a particular person, she has never been rude in her life, and she has never been confused and sloppy, when did she see her dressed up brightly? This time, I was also in a hurry.
Xingzhao was secretly worried in his heart, and listened to the second lady's words: "Sister-in-law's mother's family has an accident, and our big guy's heart is leisurely." Sister-in-law, let's see. The little man who only knows that the little man who is talking nonsense will one day go to hell and suffer the pain of pulling out his tongue."
"That's it!" The second lady is not finished talking. Mrs. Tai raised her voice to interrupt the conversation, and then turned to the eldest lady and said, "You can rest for a few days." Didn't the judge of Zhang Yuan prescribe you a few calming medicines yesterday? It's delicious. Rest for a few days. There is still us in everything. ”
Mrs. Tai's words made the eldest lady's tears fall down, and she was very grateful and said: "The daughter-in-law knows, the daughter-in-law knows." ”
Mrs. Tai was most annoyed to see the eldest lady crying, shrunk her neck back, beckoned them to go first, and the second lady responded, she never dared to have any resentment when she was robbed by Mrs. Tai, and there was a step down at this time. hurriedly led Xingming out of Rongshoutang.
The eldest lady also got up to leave, Xingzhao followed behind her, and suddenly heard the voice of the lady behind her: "Ah Yu stays." He let out a long sigh and said, "Ah Fu, you are not only a woman, but also a mother."
The eldest lady froze in the porch, did not dare to look back, nodded with tears in her eyes, lifted her skirt and hurried out.
Xingzhao stayed in Eijudo. The tip of his nose smelled the familiar scent of sandalwood, and he looked at the black lacquered wood furniture in the house, and his heart was very peaceful, but he was worried about his mother who was alone. The eyes were obviously looking at Mrs. Tai, but I don't know when they drifted out of the window lattice.
"You sleep with me for two hours, eat and then go back." Mrs. Tai looked at her little granddaughter's skinny face. My heart hurt, and I said, "Your mother is half a day." It's in the house again, what can happen? If you are a mother, you are stronger. I see that she looks better today, so I dare to keep you. ”
Xingzhao thought about it, nodded, and went inside.
At this time, as soon as the eldest lady entered the main courtyard, she saw Man'er waiting for her in front of the main hall with an uncertain expression, and remembered that this girl had just been beaten five boards yesterday, so she asked her in a soft tone: "What's the matter?" Are the injuries all healed? ”
When Man'er heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, his head lowered and lowered, and he walked with the eldest lady and entered the main hall, only then did he take out a letter from his arms, his head was almost hanging to his chest, and he muttered: "Someone from the second gate of Jiangcai brought a letter in."
The eldest lady took the letter, looked at it at a glance, her face became more and more blue, her hands trembled in panic, and the letter paper as thin as a cicada's wings was like the wings of a butterfly, and like a kite with a broken string.
"Who gave you this letter?" The eldest lady was uncharacteristically excited.
Man'er subconsciously shrank back, didn't dare to look at the eldest lady, and waved his hand: "I don't know!" I do not know! The second door is stuffed in! I'm coming from the back room, and I'm seeing a letter at the door! ”
At this time, Huang's mother came in with a cup of medicine, saw Man'er's panicked face, and was unhappy, and saw that the eldest lady was holding a letter in her hand, so she handed the copper basin to the little maid and walked forward: "Your little hooves are restless again!" I hit you yesterday, and today I will be fine, and the scar will forget the pain! Seeing that the eldest lady's expression was wrong, he hurriedly hugged her and asked, "Madam, what's wrong!" Where did this letter come from? ”
When the eldest lady heard this, Shen'er panicked even more, quickly turned sideways and stuffed the letter into her sleeve, and replied indiscriminately: "It's okay!" It was a letter from Mrs. Min. His eyes wandered, and he remembered what the letter said, "It's unfortunate that he has an important letterhead in his hand, which is related to the life of Brother Ling's family, and Mrs. Wanghe is cautious." At noon today, Fu Manji Bai Yuxiang met to discuss good things, if there are idle people to come, Hugh blame the widow and do not abide by morality, a piece of paper. Whether the Fang family is dead or alive is all in Mrs. He's thoughts."
"Prepare the car! I'll go to the Hou Mansion in the letter to take a look at Mrs. Min! The eldest lady felt that her breath was unstable, and she was afraid that Huang's mother would see the clue, so she waved her sleeves: "It's okay, it's okay!" You are guarding at home, I" The eldest lady looked around and saw Man'er like grabbing a life-saving straw: "I'll take Man'er all the way!" ”
Huang's mother frowned, and listened to the letter from the Hou family, it makes sense to think about it, the uncle hasn't found it yet, so naturally the letter that followed Hou also disappeared, and it was good for the two women to comfort each other. Suddenly gasped, she finally realized that something was wrong, she also didn't find anyone, how could she impeach only her uncle, and she didn't believe that there was anything wrong with Zhonghou!
I was about to call the eldest lady, but there was no trace of the eldest lady in the house.
On the state affairs or the important ministers are falsely accused, Shuangfu Street is a scene of singing and dancing, the green car "gurgling" forward, the eldest lady tightly clutched the page in her hand, he said that he held his brother's important letterhead in his hand, and the letterhead that can be related to his brother's life and death, what is it? What is it? What is it! The eldest lady has never been so helpless, she looked down and looked at just a few lines of words, the handwriting was regular, and she paused slightly on the last goose head hook before continuing to write.
The tone on the letter was gentle, and there seemed to be room for negotiation, and the other party must have come to ask for money, and the eldest lady touched the five thousand taels of silver tickets that the general had just lifted from the silver trumpet in her sleeve, and felt a little more at ease.
I was also comforting myself in my heart, I can't guarantee that this is not another trick that the market has come up with, obviously I don't have anything in my hand, so I dare to blackmail Lin'anhou Mansion with empty gloves and white wolves, didn't that thin lady eat the bear's heart and leopard gall a few days ago?
When I go back, I must tell Hou Ye a good story, Shuntian Mansion Yin takes the official salary of the imperial court, but he always doesn't do practical things!
The eldest lady heard that it was gradually becoming lively outside, lifted the curtain on the door of the carriage, and asked, "How far is it from Fumanji?" ”
Man'er's body trembled, looked at the street scene around tremblingly, and replied in a proper manner: "There are still three streets away."
The eldest lady let out an "oh", lowered the curtain, and did not ask any more.
Man'er walked stiffly on the side of the carriage, seeing that the eldest lady didn't ask, half of the hanging heart was put down, and there was a very young woman wearing a green robe under the overpass, babbling and singing a little song, a pair of hooked eyes were very charming, and the eyes were circling around, attracting the onlookers to shout.
When Man'er saw the pair of peach blossom eyes, she thought, for no reason, what Xiang Tan said yesterday: "Didn't our aunt call Niu Daopo to shock the sixth girl last time?" That Niu Daopo is a character, who doesn't know her among the nobles in Dingjing? The nightmare of the six girls was cured by the mother-in-law's runic water! She secretly told our aunt that the eldest lady's face is a person who doesn't live long, and she can't suppress her blessings. Mrs. Lin'anhou will have to be replaced sooner or later! So why are you still serving the eldest lady so conscientiously, sooner or later you have to change the master, it's better to hide and be lazy and don't go to her side. It's better to make her angry, and when the new lady comes and asks, since you don't like the one in front of you, who will you reuse if you don't reuse it? ”
Man'er was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't believe it in his heart, and he turned his back and forked the words, but now he secretly opened the letter that was lying on the ground and looked at it, and at the same time he was terrified in his heart, and at the same time, a kind of pleasure of revenge appeared. The family protects the eldest lady so well, she reported yesterday, the eldest lady didn't know how to do it, and she was punished in the atrium to play the board, she is a female baby! The big guys all know that this girl was spanked, how can she marry in the future!
Today, she has to present the letter, and she simply confirms her charges yesterday! Let the eldest lady be really afraid, and it is good to solve yesterday's grievances, anyway, didn't she say that she would have to change to a new lady in charge in the future, and she was not afraid!
Man'er hung his head and thought of the general's impatience, and he really wanted to spit on his face!
Step by step, I followed the carriage and walked slowly, my hands gradually sweated, the more I thought about it, the more afraid I became, I buried my head and walked, my legs and stomach trembled, and when I looked up, I saw the Fu Manji hanging high, three big characters.
Man'er cried with a sad face, and shouted softly through the curtain: "Big lady, we have arrived" and hurriedly stepped forward to help the big lady go down, the closer to the building, the more difficult it became, and when he got to the back, he simply stopped, his legs trembled like shaking a sieve, and he cried: "Big lady, let's go back or not, don't worry the fourth girl"
The eldest lady glanced at her, and was sure that it was a scoundrel in the market who was making trouble, so she was not very afraid, and waved her sleeves, just as if she was fleeing: "You go to the carriage and wait." I'll just go up on my own. He also added: "You go to Shuntianfu to register first, and work more reliably." (To be continued......)
