"The folk woman is a blessed person, the head of the family left early, and her daughter gave birth to a child and had a difficult birth, and she also went, and it was also a blessing to be delicate." Yan said, his tone was a little calmer, as if he was talking about someone else's business, "Jiaojiao is the granddaughter of the people's woman." Since she went, the woman went to the outer courtyard to take care of the sprinkling, and was later sent back to the lady's dowry Zhuangzi. ”

It turned out that Yan was the son of Mrs. Hou's family, and Fu Jun secretly diǎn diǎn head.

Mrs. Pingnan Hou Zhao's ancestral home is Sichuan, and it is also considered a prestigious family in Chengdu, and there have been several high-ranking officials on the ancestors, only to Mrs. Hou's generation gradually declined, Mrs. Hou was also a coincidence back then, and met Pingnan Hou who passed through Sichuan with troops to fight, which made a marriage.

Yan Shi said again: "The folk woman was not in good health at that time, she couldn't do heavy work, her eyes were also boiled by needlework, and she thought that there was no one else around her, so she simply ransomed the paper with the money she saved. The woman had a distant cousin in Shanxi, so the woman took refuge in him, and later his family went to other places to make a living, but the woman was really unwilling to move, so she stayed. ”

"I see." Fu Jun said in a harmonious voice, "Later, Nian'er and her sisters went to Shanxi, speaking of which, this is also your fate." ”

Yan's face finally showed a smile, she raised her head, looked at Fu Jun gratefully, and said: "This is also the kindness of the mother, so that the women have a lot to rely on in the second half of their lives, and they are a few of them...... Very filial. As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she took out a green cloth and pressed the corner of her eye.

It can be seen that she is a little excited at the moment. Fu Jun didn't speak, just waited for her to calm down.

After a moment, Yan Shifang put away the handkerchief, stood up and blessed Fu Jun, and said, "The woman is rude, please forgive the mother." ”

Fu Jun waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, you sit down." He also asked Qingwu to change a cup of hot tea for her.

When Yan sat down on the small pestle again, Fu Junfang said softly: "I have something I want to ask you now, it is about some old things about the Pingnan Hou Mansion, if I ask abruptly." Please don't mind. ”

She was a little worried that Jiaojiao's death was related to Cover Cuizhai. If it evokes Yan's sad memories, she will be very upset.

Yan replied respectfully: "Niangniang is too polite, this world is again ∷dǐng∷diǎn∷小∷ said, .±.o@s_ (); There is no better and kinder person than Niangniang, Niangniang just asks. ”

Fu Jun lowered his voice a little more. He asked, "About Tsui Zhai." How much do you know? ”

Yan raised his head suddenly. looked at Fu Jun in surprise, his expression was stunned for a moment, and after a while. She lowered her eyes again, and a faint desolation appeared on her wrinkled face.

"I don't know if the mother knows that there was a master in the house back then?" She said slowly, and Fu raised her head again to look at Fu Jun, with a look of memory in her cloudy eyes.

Fu Jun was stunned.

Pingnan Hou Mansion actually died a man? She had never heard of it.

Yan Shi seemed to know that Fu Jun didn't know, so he sighed at this time and continued: "Most of the people who know about this matter are now dead, and the folk women only know about this matter by occasionally overhearing others' conversations. Speaking of this, her voice became deeper and lower, "The folk woman was still young at that time, and she had only entered the Hou Mansion from Zhuangzi in Chengdu not long ago, because she was needlework, she didn't know much about the things in the house. Once, the woman went to the housekeeper's mother to send clothes, on the way back passed by the Wendi Annex, the woman was moved for a while, so she went to pinch the flowers, at that time, the woman heard the two sprinkling grandmothers of Rong Xuan Hall, saying that the lady gave birth to a male fetus before, but only lived for half an hour and died, and said that the lady has injured her body since then, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to get pregnant in the future. ”

It turned out that there was such an embarrassing past hidden in the Cover Cui Zhai, Mrs. Hou actually gave birth to a baby boy when she was young, if it wasn't for Yan's mention, Fu Jun would never have guessed the hidden story.

Yan said again at this time: "When the woman heard such a thing, she was afraid in her heart, and she didn't dare to tell anyone after she went back. Later, there was a change of people in the Rongxuan Hall, and the two sprinklers didn't know where to go, so the women didn't dare to say anything, and after a long time, they slowly forgot about it. ”

Fu Jun was silent, but his eyebrows frowned slightly.

It still doesn't make sense.

At the time of the ghost needle incident, Mrs. Hou's expression was not so much sadness, but rather taboo and anger, as well as vague ...... Fear. Even if the cause of the infant death is questionable, how can a mother, as a mother, be afraid of her own dead child? This is completely counterintuitive.

The secrets hidden in Cover Cui Zhai should be more than that.

Thinking of this, Fu Jun rolled her eyes slightly, and glanced at Yan Shi quietly, but saw that she was still sitting very well, as if she noticed Fu Jun's gaze sweeping, her eyebrows did not move, and she only pursed her lips slightly.

This is an obvious expression of the unfinished word.

Is it because of Jiaojiao, why Yan is so reluctant to tell the truth?

Fu Jun's frowning eyebrows froze again, hesitated for a moment, and finally considered the words and asked softly, "Is that all?" Is there something else going on? Is there something you haven't told me about Cover Cui Zhai? ”

Yan was silent, but the hands held in front of his knees tightened for a moment.

Fu Jun's gaze was firmly fixed on her.

After a long time, Yan's fingers suddenly loosened, and he let out a long sigh and said, "These things, the folk woman originally planned to rot in her stomach for the rest of her life. Only Niangniang has the grace of life to Nian'er, and she is even more kind to the people's women, and the mothers ask movingly, and the women dare not hide it anymore. What the woman was going to say next was never said to a third person, and in the past few decades, sometimes even the woman herself felt that it might just be a dream. ”

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, her eyes swept over Fu Jun, and then stopped on the window screen, and her voice was a little low: "That's two or three years after the folk woman overheard that conversation. The woman remembered that that year, Aunt Zhen entered the house. ”

Fu Jun's expression was slightly abrupt.

Aunt Zhen is Fu Geng's biological mother and the only concubine of Pingnanhou, but she seems to be in poor health, and she died not long after giving birth to Fu Geng.

"After Aunt Zhen entered the house, she lived in Qiuxi House. At that time, the lady had been married to the Hou Ye for several years, but the heirs had been difficult, and the subordinates also said when chatting in a place, the Hou Ye had no choice, so he accepted a good concubine. Yan said very slowly, as if immersed in the memories of the year, "It's just that since Aunt Zhen entered the house, there have often been accidents in the house, and the maids and daughters in Rongxuantang and Qiuxiju have been hit by boards, overboarded, and stolen from time to time." Even though the women were in the sewing room, these things could often be passed on. ”

Wives and concubines fight and two rooms fight, this is the most common in the back house, and it is not unusual. (To be continued.) )
