Chapter 1: Madame
Three years later, the city of Ningzhou.
The spring thunder swelled, the river rose, the swifts flew away, and the pedestrians were rushed.
It has been three days since the marriage of the Ye Mansion in the south of the city, but the incident of three days ago still makes people talk about it.
In Ningzhou City under the rain curtain, nine out of ten households are still talking about the Ye family.
A few mothers-in-law gathered together with the soles of their shoes in their hands and chatted.
"There is really such a ruthless mother in this world, and she dares to marry her daughter into the Ye family!"
"My daughter was originally a money-loser, sooner or later it was someone else's family, three hundred taels of silver, you haven't seen so much white silver, if you give it to you, you don't rush to send your daughter to the door."
"I can't say that, the Ye family master has married for the fourth time, marry one and die the other, don't kill that girl again this time, if you die, no matter how much money you have, there will be a fart..."
……
Rushing through three streets, the tea shop on the side of the road was crowded with people, all of them were pedestrians who couldn't walk in the heavy rain, the erhu pulled twice, and a thin old man in the middle raised his foot on the table and said loudly: "Today, my blind man will talk about the new things of the Ye family in our Ningzhou City." ”
There was a child standing beside him, his eyes blinked, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What does the Ye family have to say?" ”
Erhu sounded: "Do you know why the master of the Ye family married one and died?" ”
The child glanced around at the people around him and said, "Compared to this, I want to know why Master Ye found a big rooster to worship heaven and earth on the day of his wedding?" But bad luck, this is not a yin ghost. ”
"That's it, the Ye family is a well-known wife, and it's not strange to die a few more, why do you want to use a big rooster to worship heaven and earth when people are still alive?" The person next to him asked curiously.
"Okay..."The old man snorted, and the erhu pulled up a few hurried tones and sang: "I was not born when you were born, I am old when you were born, you hate me for being late, I hate you for being early..."
After a pause, his singing stopped, and the people next to him stretched their necks and waited for the next sentence: "And then?" ”
"Bang...", the child sounded the gong and drum: "The world is everything, I know everything, pass by Ningzhou and say a paragraph, three copper plates and ask a question..."
"Cut...", everyone sighed.
……
In this way, the fourth marriage of the Ye family three days ago was not only a household name, but also made up into a tune by the storytellers and singers.
The Ye family, a wealthy businessman in Ningzhou, lives in the south of the city, with a large courtyard of more than 50 acres, not only a courtyard in the courtyard, but also a building in the building, pavilions and pavilions, rockery and water pavilions, in the big Ningzhou City, the Ye family business can also be ranked in the top ten, worthy of the name of the wealthy compound.
"Are you saying our new lady is a fool?"
The girl hiding at the foot of the door stared intently inside, and the woman sitting on the edge of the bed was still the same as if she had been sent into the house three days ago, with a red head and a big rooster in her arms.
"It's not certain, it's been three days, I haven't moved, I'm a living person and I'm going to starve to death, if I'm not stupid, how can I marry my master."
Another chubby girl said, holding a food plate in her hand, and had just replaced the cold food from the house.
"It's moving, it's moving," suddenly called the maid crawling through the crack in the door.
"Help me lift the hijab, my mother said that it is unlucky for the daughter-in-law to lift the hijab by herself."
She said, a soft voice coming from the room, neither humble nor arrogant.
The chubby maid hurriedly pushed the door in again, and asked the woman in front of her with some fear, "But because no one took off their hijabs, they sat like this for three days?" ”
"Hmm. After waiting for three days, no one came to lift the hijab, and I was anxious...", she said, her voice a little shy.
"Fool, fool, really a fool." The girl outside the door muttered, hurriedly turned around and went down the attic, and hurriedly walked out of this small courtyard and went to a larger courtyard.
……
"Troublesome?" In the Buddhist hall in the backyard, a richly dressed woman in her forties, with a dignified voice, asked.
The girl didn't dare to look at her, bowed her head and said, "No trouble." ”
"What's the matter, I haven't seen my husband for three days, and she doesn't make trouble at all?" The woman asked.
"Silly... It's a fool, sitting on the edge of the bed motionless for three days, just now I was so anxious that I couldn't stand it before I made a sound, saying that no one took off the hijab, so I didn't dare to move. ”
The girl said cautiously, for fear of angering the woman in front of her.
The woman snorted coldly, but did not smile: "Keep keeping an eye on me, you will know sooner or later." ”
The girl was busy answering and hurriedly retreated, always feeling a little gloomy in the face of this old lady of the Ye family.
On the second floor of the attic of the small courtyard on the east side, the chubby girl did not immediately lift the hijab as she said, but chattered endlessly: "Madam, don't complain about the master, the master is also a hard-working person, he married three rooms in a row, and it is gone, the master is afraid that he will come to see you, and you are gone, you can understand the master's painstaking efforts..."
The woman sitting on the edge of the bed was none other than Qiao Yue, who jumped from the top of Beacon Mountain into the Qirong River three years ago.
At that time, Qiao Yue's heart was like ashes, and she tossed for two days and two nights in the cold and rainy night, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and her body was very sick.
After Qiao Yue woke up, she had no memory, she could only remember her name, fortunately, she was a woman, except for some flaws on her forehead, her appearance was a look of bewilderment, so she was not abandoned and followed the Chai couple to the north and south for three years.
A month ago, the Chai couple passed through Ningzhou with Qiao Yue, and happened to meet the Ye family to recruit relatives, and the bride price was even more gratifying, which was undoubtedly a huge amount of money for the Chai couple who sang for a living.
As the saying goes, the children they picked up can be sold for a good price when they kick the ball, and the Chai couple don't care how many wives the Ye family has died, so Qiao Yue married into the Ye Mansion.
"After a while, the lord will come to see Madame, my name is Fat Ya, and there is another one called Ershuang, and in the future, I and Ershuang will be Madame's maids, and if Madame has anything, we can be called to do it.
Our Ye family is a big family, the old man and the old lady are very strict in their work, if the lady doesn't understand anything in the future, you can ask me, otherwise if the old lady is unhappy, life will not be easy..."
The fat girl is really talkative, since Qiao Yue answered her a word, she has been chattering until now.
"Hijab, lift my hijab first..."
Qiao Yue was helpless, she was really anxious, so she could only interrupt this enthusiastic girl.
"Oops! I forgot about it. The fat girl screamed, hurriedly lifted her hijab, and continued: "It stands to reason that the new lady who has passed through the door has to go to the old lady to say goodbye, these three days have passed, if we don't go, but there is less courtesy..."
"Little dream?"
After solving the urgent need, Qiao Yue's expression was a little stiff, her eyes were sloppy, she couldn't help muttering, her brain hurt violently, and she couldn't help but say.
"What? What do you say, ma'am? ”
The fat girl, who was still chattering, was stunned and busy asking.
Qiao Yue held her head, she didn't know why she kept calling this name, she glanced at the fat girl who was looking at her suspiciously, and smiled: "Xiaomeng, I like this name, I will call you Xiaomeng in the future." ”
