Chapter 144: Five Years of Life
The second wife's lungs were about to explode, pointing at the little baby and turning her head to Pearl Xixiang and yelling, "Are you two stupid? Why don't you hurry up and find out this uncovered rabbit cub for me! ”
Pearl Xixiang hurriedly stepped forward.
But the little baby looked up to be only three years old, a small one, hiding under the table, laughing and shouting, that look very cute, even Pearl and Xixiang couldn't bear to be rough with him when they saw it, so they had to lie on the ground and try to coax him out.
"Little master, where is your mother? My mother is looking for you, don't hide, come out quickly, right? Pearl persuaded with kind words.
The little baby pouted, holding the table leg but refused to come out.
Pearl was amused by the little baby, and seemed to have forgotten that there was an angry second wife standing behind her, and continued to coax the little baby: "Little master, come out quickly, come out and have osmanthus candy to eat!" ”
When the little baby heard that there was something to eat, she couldn't help but smack her mouth twice. I was a little tempted just now, but when I saw the pearl who was originally smiling, she suddenly frowned in pain and snorted.
"Who told you to coax him here, didn't he have long hands? Get him out! The second lady kicked on the pearl and roared with hatred.
When the little baby heard this, she immediately became angry, hugged the table leg and shouted: "Hemp has beaten someone!" Hemp hits someone! Daddy, come and grab the hemp and lock it up! ”
Every time Xiaowa shouted "hemp", the anger in the second wife's heart rose a little, and she didn't think about the deep meaning of Xiaowa's words, so she simply squatted down, and couldn't help but reach out and grab one of Xiaowa's legs, and then pull it out.
The second wife's hateful strength made the little baby frightened, and he grabbed the table leg while pedaling hard. But how can the second wife's hand strength be matched by a three-year-old baby? After a few struggles, he was dragged out by the second wife.
Fear mixed with anger. Xiaowa began to kick and beat the second wife with her hands and feet.
The second lady originally just wanted to drag this little bastard out and get him out. Unexpectedly, this little baby is not only cheap. Hands and feet are also cheap.
Her face turned sideways, and she pressed the little baby's shoulders and raised her hand to fight.
The little baby saw the second wife's hideous face and raised palms, and immediately cried in fright.
"I'm embarrassed to cry!"
The second wife gritted her teeth, eager to slap this annoying little bastard to death, but the little baby cried louder and louder.
The second wife's hand stiffened, after all, she was still the wife of the Jiang family, and if she beat someone here, it would not be of any benefit to her if it was passed out.
Think about it. I couldn't bear it, turned my head and yelled at Xixiang: "Give him a piece of candy to eat, get him out, and drive him as far away as possible!" ”
Xixiang nodded, turned around and went to get the candy.
The second wife let go of the little baby, stared at her eyes and warned, "Don't cry!" If you eat the candy, you will go back, and you must not tell anyone that you have seen me here, or I will ......."
She jerked her hand up again.
The little baby was so frightened that she could only hold back her crying and sobbed with her mouth closed.
Xixiang brought osmanthus candy and handed it to Xiaowa, who sucked the runny nose. In the end, he suddenly changed his face and hit the osmanthus candy in Xixiang's hand. shouted: "Hemp, I'm going to call my brother to kill you!" ”
With that, he ran towards the door as if flying.
The second wife gasped angrily, pointed at the little baby and shouted: "Catch this little ghost for me, I have to tear his mouth apart!" ”
Pearl was kicked several times by the second wife, holding her hips and pretending to be in pain, she didn't want to step forward, but she was very good, and she took three steps and two steps to catch up with the little baby, and hugged him up.
Seeing that the little baby was writhing vigorously, Xi Xiang simply gritted her teeth and reached out to pinch the little baby's cheek.
The little pink face was pinched so that it turned white first and then red.
The little baby couldn't hold back any longer, and cried loudly.
"If you dare to cry again, if you dare to cry again, I will let go and throw you down!" Xixiang still likes such a cute baby, but when he cried like this, Xixiang lost patience and began to threaten.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished saying this, the little baby really stopped crying, and Xixiang was happy, thinking that her trick had worked, and she was about to invite the second wife to come, but she found that the second wife and Pearl were both staring at the door dumbfounded.
Xixiang was stunned.
The little baby in her arms suddenly cried loudly after a short period of silence, and even intensified, raised her hand and slapped Xixiang's face fiercely, and cried to the door: "Nurse! Nurse help! ”
Xixiang shook his head, his hand unconsciously loosened, the little baby just wanted to break free, and he didn't expect that there would be danger, who knew that a back, Xixiang didn't hold it, and the little baby fell to the ground.
"Fifth Young Master!"
The nurse ran inside with an exclamation, stretched out her hands and wanted to continue, but how could it be too late?
I only heard a muffled sound, and the little baby fell on the bluestone ground, and her head hit a big bag.
Xiaowa covered her head, opened her mouth wide, and suddenly burst out into a heart-rending cry, Xixiang and the second wife were frightened and looked at Xiaowa in a daze.
The nurse stepped forward to pick him up in distress, kissed him on the forehead and coaxed: "The fifth young master doesn't cry, the fifth young master doesn't hurt, the nurse will take you to find the lady, go to the lady......"
The nurse kept thinking about it, and the fifth young master finally quieted his voice, but he was still unwilling, and pointed to the second wife and said, "It's hemp, it's hemp, it's hemp, it ”
The nurse glanced at the second lady quickly, she naturally knew that this lady deliberately instructed someone to bully the fifth young master, but the nurse knew that she was just a subordinate, so she didn't say anything, just coaxed in a low voice: "Let's go back to Madame first, just find Madame." ”
Mother Qin, who was busy boiling medicine in the ear room, heard the crying here, and also put down the work in her hand and ran over, and happened to bump into the nurse holding a crying baby and walking out angrily.
Mother Qin was weird, and when she walked in, she saw that the second wife was standing in the middle of the room, and her face was no longer bloodless.
If it is for the little baby, she can still coerce and lure him to shut up, but when the nurse sees it, then she can ......
The second wife suddenly shuddered, grabbed Qin's mother's hand and asked, "Which guests have come to the mansion today, are there any official families?" Can there be a prominent official? ”
Mother Qin didn't know why, so she asked suspiciously, "What is the second wife asking for this?" ”
That seems to mean that even if the emperor comes. Second wife, you can't go out to pick up the car like this.
The second wife covered her mouth lightly. Turned around and whispered in fright. Suddenly, he turned his head vigorously and said hurriedly: "You quickly take some silver and chase it over, and seal the mouth of the nurse for me!" ”
Mother Qin looked at the second wife's panicked look, and then thought about the little baby who was crying bitterly, and seemed to understand a little.
"You can have as much silver as you want, just keep her mouth shut!" The second wife said in a trembling voice, while quickly taking off the silver bracelet and the gold-inlaid jade collar buckle on her wrist, and stuffed them all into Qin's mother's hand.
Mother Qin looked at the second wife's appearance. was also a little panicked, took the bracelet collar buckle, and hurriedly went to the small drawer to take out two large ingots, and chased them in the direction where the nurse left.
The second wife was restless, anxious like ants on a hot pot, and Pearl and Xixiang stood on both sides of the second wife with their heads buried in their heads, silent like cicadas.
"What to do, what to do, what if she refuses to accept it? What if she had to say it? The second lady kept muttering to herself.
She is the second wife of the dignified Jiang family, and she is well-known for her virtuous and virtuous virtues in Jizhou. If the unconscionable thing of abusing and beating the little baby spreads, where will her face go?
And look at the look of the nurse just now. It seems that the little baby's father and mother still have a lot of background......
She didn't want to hit anyone, it was this little bastard who didn't cover her mouth, didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and looked for a fight by herself!
But thinking about it again, she is a second wife, and she is actually more serious than a little baby, how do you think it is still hers......
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic she became, she was so anxious that she wanted to rush out, but her face was full of red rashes, wouldn't it be even more laughed at when she went out?
After being anxious for a long time, she didn't wait for Qin's mother, nor did she wait for the little baby's father and mother to come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but waited for the second master and the old lady to come.
"Shuning, you explain to me what happened to Fang Cai!" As soon as the old lady entered the door, she knocked her cane twice and questioned sharply.
The second wife shook her whole body, and quickly swept the people who rushed in, fortunately, they were all just Jiangfu's own people.
The old lady would not be stupid enough to really bring outsiders to ask the second wife for her guilt, the second lady can afford to lose this face, but the Jiang family can't afford to lose it.
The old lady had already said it over there, and she couldn't figure out how the Cao family provoked the little master of the Lin'an prefect's family for no reason?
But the little young master kept saying that there was a hemp behind him, fierce and ugly, and he wanted to kill him and tear his mouth apart.
At that time, no one in the house believed it, how could this be what the second wife could say?
But they themselves know very well that only the second wife has a red rash on her face in the house, except for her, who else will be a hemp seed?
The little young master had a big and swollen red envelope on his head, and he cried out in pain when he touched it, and the prefect's wife was angry and distressed, but looking at the face of the Jiang family, she didn't make a big noise in front of the guests, and only said coldly: "Old lady Jiang should also take care of the people in this mansion, it is a scourge to keep this kind of evil slave, I am afraid that I will bully the head of the master of the Jiang family in the future!" ”
When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly followed the words: "Madame is right, Madame is right, wait for the old lady to catch Zhang's mother's dead minion, beat her until her skin is open, and then drive her out of Jiangfu, so that she can vent her anger for the little master!" ”
At present, the flower hall is full of relatives and friends, among which there are also distant relatives and befriended officials, no matter what, the face of the Jiang Mansion is more important than anything else, and it is best to splash this dirty water on the minions.
Mrs. Prefect kept coaxing the Fifth Young Master, but the more the Fifth Young Master cried, the more sad he became, and the Prefect's wife looked at the big swollen bag on his head, and her heart felt as if she had been stripped of it.
Although she was distressed and angry, she saw that the old lady Jiang had politely apologized so politely, and the prefect's wife did not say much, hurriedly said goodbye to the old lady, and led the maid in the house to leave.
Seeing this, the rest of the guests also got up one after another to say goodbye.
After the old lady and the second old man smiled stiffly and beckoned the guests to leave, they turned around and came to the second wife's room in a puff.
Looking at the second wife's red and black rash marks, even the old lady couldn't help but want to scold her.
Is this like their Jiang family's daughter-in-law who came into the door?
Su Xue heard that the second wife was making trouble here, so she also came with everyone, stood in the crowd and looked at the second wife's face, seriously, it was worse than she imagined.
Xu was because the second wife was idle in the house and didn't plan to see outsiders, so she didn't pay attention to anything.
Looking at it, it seems that he has just cleaned his face and wiped the medicine, and before he has time to put on his makeup, there is no need to say that his face is full of rash marks, his eyes are sunken, his eyes are frightened and scattered, and his face is sallow, like an old mother who has been exposed to the wind and sun for most of her life.
It seems that the second wife, who had drunk ginseng tea, lost a lot of vitality after taking quinoa.
Come to think of it, ginseng with a fierce agent like quinoa, if you are a little careless in conditioning, you can live for five years.
But looking at the face of the second wife, she is more than five years old. (To be continued......)
