Chapter 38: Mountain Rain (Part II)

On the fifteenth day of the first month of Dingjing, it was rare to rain in a dripping manner, and the drips hit the smooth green bricks in all directions, and after a while, it became a misty mist.

Xingzhao sat cross-legged on the kang in a homely dress, and the jasmine incense he lit burned to the end, Xingzhao took a plain silver skewer in his hand to turn over the incense ashes of the incense burner, and only then did he lift the lid of the gilt incense burner, and he heard a slightly disgusted word.

"You can rest quickly, the wind is blowing, and the fragrant ash is blind."

Xingzhao smiled, turned his head to see, it was Lian Rong who put the blue oil paper umbrella on the small case of Huxia with one hand, and came in with an autumn apricot bag in the other, and said: "The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the people in the township should be happy." He handed the burden to the lotus leaf, freed his hand and brushed the hair on the sideburns, and said, "The sugar lotus seeds made by my mother, girl, you have always liked to eat them." I brought two cans of chicken fat to Wang's mother and Lianyu, and the little girls each had a small can of fried noodles that were crispy! ”

The maids of Huaishan Yuan took turns on annual leave, and Lian Rong had just returned from home.

"Your family lives in the back room, less than a quarter of an hour, stunned as a wanderer, carefully Lianyu to pinch you!" Xing Zhao smiled happily, and patted the small pestle on his side to let Lianrong sit.

Lianyu covered her mouth and smiled, and Mother Wang also smiled, and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Aunt Wu!" ”

Lian Rong also smiled, avoiding Wang's mother's salute, while half-sitting on the small pestle, she muttered: "The general came back, passed by the second gate, and saw that there was a lot of noise outside, and the Lantern Festival was only made at night, and now it is only past noon, why is it making trouble."

She said quietly, Xingzhao leaned over to listen, and before he could ask, he heard the urgent noise outside, and couldn't help frowning, and was about to call Lianyu to reprimand. I saw Yue Qiao in the eldest lady's room as soon as she opened the bamboo curtain, and cried and told Xingzhao: "Four girls! Go to the main courtyard! The eldest lady fainted! ”

Xing Zhao's heart tightened, his body hurriedly shrank down, put on his embroidered shoes and walked outside.

Yue Qiao followed behind while crying, Xingzhao asked her for details, and she also said hesitantly: "Someone came to make a lot of trouble, and the woman splashed on the ground at the door of our house."

"What's the matter?" Xingzhao asked in a deep voice.

Yue Qiao has the same temperament as the eldest lady, holding a handkerchief and sobbing, and her words are not clear for a long time: "I don't know that the words involve Jing Dalangjun like"

"Who brought that woman in? Does Mrs. Tai know? What about the mother? Xingzhao couldn't wait, and asked like a cannon, and looked at Yue Qiao, who was crying with a pale face, while speeding up his feet and turning the corner of the corridor, he forcibly suppressed the wall, and comforted softly: "Sister Yueqiao, don't panic, speak slowly." ”

Yue Qiao took a deep breath, thought slowly, and cried again: "It was the eldest lady who brought it in, and the eldest lady was not in good health and didn't go to Rongshoutang to say that the eldest lady and the eldest lady couldn't get up in one breath, so she fainted, and now Huang's mother is presiding over Yuefang and cut the ginseng piece for the eldest lady to hold."

Yue Qiao's words were intermittent, Xingzhao walked like a gust of wind in front of him, and he arrived at the main hall after finishing speaking.

Xingzhao went into the room to see the eldest lady, the main hall was dark and palpitating, as soon as he walked in, he could hear the eldest lady's crying, as well as Yuefang's persuasion, "You dissipate your anger, what kind of person is Jing Dalangjun, don't you know yet?" This eighty percent is the villain in the market who was blinded by money."

The eldest lady cried so much that she gasped from her chest: "She is holding Brother Jing'er's close-fitting bamboo nutan jade pendant in her hand."

"Mother-" Xingzhao heard the eldest lady still have a neutral voice, and the tips of his fingers gradually warmed up.

As soon as the eldest lady heard Xingzhao's voice, she got up from the bed as if she had grasped straw: "Auntie, your brother, he" Before she finished speaking, she took the handkerchief and began to cry.

Xingzhao stepped forward quickly, grabbed the eldest lady's hand, and said in a very calm tone: "Mother, don't panic, you speak slowly." ”

The eldest lady shook her head while crying, Yuefang, who was standing on the edge of the bed, sighed, took Xingzhao into the inner room, and whispered the things one by one: "There was an Aunt Zheng outside, she said, she said that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with Jing Dalangjun's child, and the eldest lady was anxious when she heard it, and quickly asked people to bring the two into the atrium.

Yuefang said with a look on her face, she was forced to do this, regardless of the little lady standing in front of her.

"What is the identity of that Aunt Zheng?" Xingzhao asked in a deep voice.

Yuefang thought for a while and said: "It should be a military household, she said that her son was a soldier in Yicheng, and now there are only two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left in the family." After glancing at Xingzhao, I was surprised that Xingzhao was silent, and said in a softer tone: "As soon as Aunt Zheng came, she made fun at the gate of our mansion, and took her daughter-in-law there, saying that she wanted to ask our family for an explanation." ”

Xingzhao's eyes fell on the bowl of Huang Shoudan with slanted branches and leaves on the low table, his expression was uncertain, he thought about it, and instructed Yuefang: "Mrs. Tai is not in good health these days, so it's not good to bother her old man." He snorted softly, "What a good calculation." Picked the fifteenth day of the first month to make trouble! Where are Hou Ye and his brother? ”

"Lord Hou entered the palace early this morning, and Da Langjun went to the west of the city to visit Mr. Ming, but he was not in the mansion." Yuefang's attitude became more and more respectful.

"You go to the East Cross Courtyard to invite the second lady here." Xingzhao can't care about it so much, if he can't say it, the second lady can say it, no matter what, he must press this matter down before the third room comes to ask for peace at night.

Yuefang relieved her heart and responded, Xingzhao left the cabinet and sat on the edge of the bed again, and told the maid to go to the small kitchen to stew Tianma black chicken soup, and comforted the eldest lady in a soft voice: "Is my brother such a person?" How old is my brother, to put it mildly, which of the maids in our house is not clear-eyed and delicate, can he provoke the daughter-in-law of a military family? ”

The eldest lady leaned on the soft satin with her hands and feet, listened to the words of her little daughter, opened her mouth, and before she could speak, she heard the clamor of an old woman tearing her throat outside.

"Our Zheng family! Three sons died on the battlefield! Defend your home and country outside! The family members who stayed behind were bullied like this! I'm an official who died early, so why don't you come up and see how other people's families are bullying us."

Another young woman cried: "Jinglang, come out quickly!" If you don't come out, Ah Jin will be sunk! ”

Huang's mother couldn't hold it down, so she asked her mother-in-law to set up the two of them, but before her hand touched the woman's body, she was drunk back by the woman, "What I am pregnant with is the blood of your He family!" It's your little Langjun! It's the master! Who dares to touch me! ”

Xingzhao squinted, turned his head to look out of the window lattice, the eldest lady was startled, quickly caught her, and said repeatedly: "You are the clouds in the sky, they are the soil on the ground, such a dirty thing, don't get involved!" ”

"You can rest assured"

Before he could finish his reassuring words, another soft voice sounded in the courtyard, "What is this doing?" During the New Year, crying and grabbing the ground is not too unlucky. ”

It's Aunt Wan, Xing Zhao was silent for a long time, and finally patted the back of the eldest lady's hand, then got up and raised her feet and walked out: "Don't worry, the second aunt will come in a while, your migraine is not good yet, let Yueqiao serve you to drink the chicken soup after a while." ”

The eldest lady couldn't stop it, her head hurt badly, she reached out to pull it, but she didn't pull it, so she covered her handkerchief and cried again.

Xingzhao walked through the courtyard and bypassed the shadow wall of the eyebrows, there was an old woman in her fifties wearing a dark blue linen dress and holding a child behind her head, kneeling on the ground and crying for the ground, and another young and pretty daughter-in-law in her early twenties, who was wearing a pretty peach-colored high placket, tugging at the corners of the old woman's clothes in front of her, crying sadly. Seeing that someone came out, he hurriedly looked up, and saw that it was a seven or eight-year-old lady, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Xingzhao glanced at the ground, but his eyes fell on Aunt Wan, who was leaning on the Zhu Fence to watch the laughter, and said coldly: "Sister Xiao'er's illness is cured?" My aunt went to worship in front of the Bodhisattva every day, and gave a precept to this problem of many mouths and tongues, you can accumulate some virtue, and maybe the seventh sister's illness will be cured. ”
