005 Pedantic False Taoism
In the past, the three sisters and brothers of Tiaohua generally poured some water on the well and could wipe it casually, and even didn't wash their hands and faces when it was too cold. Although today's lotus flowers are not called cleanliness, but they can't endure such dirty, they didn't find a cloth towel to wipe their faces, and they found a small coat that I don't know how many people have worn.
At this time, there was a sudden ping-pong sound of a basin falling to the ground and a high-pitched shouting and scolding sound from the side of the main room; The corners of her shriveled and cracked mouth pulled upwards slightly.
"What do you say you have in all your evil minds? Want to kill your grandfather? Li chased Gan out of the main room with a stick in his hand that he didn't know where to find, thinking about the scene he had just seen, he was angry, and he didn't know what to think about if the other two concubines knew about it.
Qiao Baisheng's angry scolding also came from the open window of the big room on the left side of the main house: "The vicious woman who assassinated the ancestors! gave the old man a divorce on her! Ouch ......"
"I don't, I don't ......" Now that filial piety is greater than the sky, how dare the Gan family be disobedient, and the Li family has been accumulating prestige in the Qiao family for a long time, and the Gan family has to hide and dare not fight back. However, fortunately, Li couldn't outrun her by wrapping her little feet, so she could get a chance to breathe; After replying to two sentences, she suddenly remembered that it was not her own water this morning, her eyes lit up, and she hid at the door of the stove room and pointed to the door of the Tiaohua family and argued loudly: "The water was made by Tiaohua, it must be that she wants to assassinate her grandfather." ”
Lotus led the camellia and grass roots to stand at the door of the room to watch the excitement, and when she heard the words, her eyes widened with "shock", "What did you say, sister-in-law?" What water? Who assassinated Grandpa? "An innocent look that doesn't know anything.
There are a lot of people who look at the excitement like the flowers, among which there is a Mu who has always been not dealing with Gan's, who is also the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, Gan's gave birth to Qiao Xiaobao in the second year of entering the door, and Mu's entered the door for two years before there were signs of pregnancy. Holding on to the door frame, delicate and weak, but Li Shi could hear clearly:
"Didn't my sister-in-law just say that you braved the cold to bring this water with your own hands?" Gan's words were arranged in front of Li and Xiao Li, but Mu heard her clearly, although she Mu was not the kind of person who was calculating, but as long as anyone provoked her, she was not soft. Turning to the mother-in-law Xiao Li, who was at a loss at the door of the main house, said, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with grandpa?" ”
Xiao Li also felt that this matter was on fire in his own heart, so he instigated a few sentences, who expected that he only cared about watching Gan's beating but forgot that there was an old lady in the upper room who was screaming, and hurriedly patted his forehead and said: "I was also angry." This damn slut actually mixed sand into your grandfather's face wash, no, it got a lot of it into your grandfather's eyes, and it hurts. Hurry up and ask Haizi to come into the house and blow it to your grandfather. "She didn't dare to help the old man with a strange temperament.
"How can you blow it in the dark like that in the house, I will ask Haizi to carry our grandfather to blow it in the courtyard." When it came to the old lady, Mu didn't dare to ignore it, and hurriedly turned around and went to the kang to shake Qiao Yuanhai, who was sleeping soundly with his head covered.
The Li family also panicked, if the old lady had something wrong, no matter how decent she was in the Qiao family, she would inevitably be said, how could this work? At that moment, he didn't care about continuing to chase Gan with his little feet, so he entered the house with a stick, stood at the door of the hall and comforted the upper room: "Father-in-law, don't panic, I'll let Haizi carry you out to help you take a look." ”
Luo and Qiao Yuanfen in the kitchen saw this bustle, although they didn't dare to squeeze out to see enough, but they also picked up the kitchen door frame and pointed at Gan with schadenfreude; With the appearance of Qiao Yuanhai's sleepy eyes, the two daughters of the Li family, Qiao Yuanfang and Qiao Yuanhui, also left the east chamber and entered the hall of the main house one after another.
"Look, look, I'm going to let the neighbors come and see what good things this black-hearted slut has done? Do you dare to bring this kind of water to your grandmother, and dare to use it for your grandfather? Li's voice was very loud, and it was obvious that he deliberately shouted to the concubines in the other two courtyards on the left and right.
The well water was filled by the old Li in a large earthen bowl, which could be seen much more clearly than in a dark brown wooden basin, and after her swaying all the way, the water and sand were almost mixed together, and the whole bowl of water looked muddy.
Gan's face also changed when he saw the appearance of the well water, and his resentful eyes swished and flew towards the flowers. Tiaohua shrugged innocently, there are more lice and no itching, and there are no worries about debts, there are almost no memories of people who are good to their sisters and brothers in this family, and the idea of selling their fifth sister for money this time is the first "idea" of this Gan family, since he seized the opportunity, he naturally wanted to pay back some interest.
When the water was fetched, the flower found that the color of the wooden pot was the same as the color of the fine sand by the well, and the texture of this sand was fine, and it was impossible to see it if you grabbed two handfuls and put them in the pot without paying attention; But if Gan had taken a little care to check before entering the house, nothing would have happened; But Gan was anxious to prove his "hard work" and quickly entered the house; It would be strange that the sand in the tub could be seen in the dimly lit room.
It was also Qiao Baisheng's bad luck, his eyes were diagnosed and treated by Dr. You Fang, saying that the eyeballs were covered with a layer of dirt, and they needed to be directly cleaned with a cloth towel dipped in well water for 7749 days; Is this the fourth or fifth day? In order to match his identity as a child, everything must be used well. When others wash their faces, they just pat their sleeves with their hands and wipe them dry, but he has to use a special toiletry towel, and when the cloth towel is stirred in the water, it is all covered with fine sand, not so much that he "wipes his eyes", but that he directly puts sand in his eyes; Why don't you cry wolf in pain?
All this is naturally not a shrewd calculation. She only knew how poor the family was, and that luxuries like oil lamps were hardly used. Originally, I just wanted to let Gan's work be unfavorable and be scolded, but who knew that the effect was so significant, and now he was even more beaten to death and didn't want to admit that it was the well water he called, and no one saw it anyway, didn't he?
Qiao Baisheng was very tall, and his feet almost dragged to the ground when Qiao Yuanhai carried him.
Seeing that the family members seemed to be concerned about Qiao Baisheng's surroundings, the lotus flower was naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and also pulled the camellia and Yuangen who had been eager to try it for a long time.
"Does it matter if Grandpa wants it?"
"But women and villains are difficult to raise! My mother-in-law's house and girls are far away from me! I don't know how to avoid suspicion. Qiao Baisheng was put on his special backrest bamboo chair in the courtyard by Qiao Yuanhai, even if he was so uncomfortable that tears and snot flowed, he waved his hands to prevent his daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law and others from getting close to him, so as not to tarnish his reputation as a scholar.
Listening to his nondescript scolding, Tiaohua couldn't help but pout, pulled the camellia and silently retreated to an inconspicuous corner, watching Qiao Yuanhai clumsily help Qiao Baisheng clean the fine sand on his eyes under the guidance of the two Li clans.
In fact, the fine sand had basically fallen to the lower eyelid under the washing of Qiao Baisheng's tears, and he only needed to wash his face down and water it himself. It's just that Qiao Baisheng has been holding the pedantry of a scholar for most of his life, and he doesn't know anything about common sense like that. Lying on the back chair and tilting his head, he only babbled and screamed, but it was useless to make Qiao Yuanhai, who was already clumsy, sweat profusely.
"Why doesn't Grandpa lower his head and rinse with water? That day, Brother Big Tiger sprinkled sand, and in my eyes, the fifth sister helped me get it out like that. "Yuangen is still young, and it is unbearable to see the old man so uncomfortable, and the innocent child of the city mansion said the mystery.
