Chapter 36: Trouble (4)
Zhen Xuan pursed her lips secretly, she really wanted to know where she had gone at the end of that night, but there was no way, she was afraid that she would forget to run past a maid up and down.
Duan listened to Aunt Chen's rebuttal, there was nothing on her face, and she thought it was true in her heart, it was one thing for Aunt Chen to always be unable to get along with herself, and it was another thing for her to be reasonable, she took Aunt Chen's words and said: "If you want to see the corpse when you die, you say that she is dead, but there is a certificate?" ”
Mrs. Zhang cracked her mouth, wiped her tears with one hand, and pounded the ground with the other, grief-stricken: "Oh, I don't know where I died, my bones are incomplete, I can't enter the soil, I can't be reborn, and I'm doing evil!" ”
These words made people feel a chill behind their backs, Aunt Chen rolled her eyes, clenched her handkerchief with both hands, and tried not to listen to what Mrs. Zhang was crying.
Siya saw that Mrs. Zhang couldn't cry like this, so she hurriedly spoke.
At the end of the day, he was filial and his family was poor, so he was sold to the Pei family, and every month after that, he gave money to Mrs. Zhang. It's just that since March, there has been no news.
Mrs. Zhang thought that she was clumsy at the end of the night, and she didn't serve her master well, and she was fined for a month, and she was urged a few times, but she still sank into the sea.
What kind of family is the Pei family, Mrs. Zhang has no choice but to wait, and she waited for half a year.
Last night, there were people walking in the city, and before the fourth watch arrived, there was a commotion, the shouts of the people, the cries of the dolls, and the barking of dogs, there was no peace. Although the room where Siya and Mrs. Zhang lived was far away from the place where the fire was burning, they were also quarreled.
Siya was still in a daze, when she heard the door of the house being pushed open, and a figure walked in quietly. Siya thought that she was robbing while the fire was taking advantage of the fire, so she was frightened, and she hid at the foot of the bed with Mrs. Zhang trembling, and after a while, she saw that it was the end of the evening when the light was shining outside.
Ximo's face was white, her clothes were full of mud, she said that she was dead, she was hanged, more than half a year, and now she is a lonely ghost, and she has been bullied by other ghosts.
Xi Mo also said that her monthly syllabus was also swallowed, and she did not have a good life before her death, and after her death, she begged Mrs. Zhang and Siya to burn some paper money for her.
After hearing this, Duan snorted and laughed, this thing is really unusual, how many monthly salaries can there be in a month at the end of that night, and it is worth it for others to harm her for this money. Duan glanced at Mrs. Zhang, who was still crying, and said: "It's just a dream, where to do the accurate number, at the end of the night, I took something and ran out, if we die outside, we will forget it, if you are still alive, if you are caught, you will be sent to the official, not to mention her, even if you don't know it, you may not be able to get rid of it." ”
"It's better to be dead." Aunt Chen stiffened her neck and interjected, "I lost something, you have to compensate me." ”
Mrs. Zhang's cry was even louder: "If you die, you die, you die in your Pei family!" ”
Such a vexatious appearance, no one can stand it.
Aunt Chen didn't want to be bitten by this old man and young man anymore, and wanted to blast these two people out of the gang quickly, seeing that Mrs. Ma's brows were tightly locked, she leaned over a few steps slightly, and muttered in a voice that was neither high nor low: "Which eye saw that she died in the Pei family, it is difficult to say that the maid ran away, and colluded with them to blackmail the money." ”
When Mrs. Ma heard this, although she didn't say anything on her face, she agreed in her heart. She didn't remember the end of the night, and she didn't say anything about whether her hands and feet were clean, but she only looked at the greedy eyes of the two people in front of her, and said that she came for the silver, but she was afraid that no one would not believe it.
Duan's also wanted to end it early, although it was said that it was in Zhenhui's house, but this trouble, her sin was not small, and she had to think clearly about how to make amends to the old lady for a while, thinking of this, Duan's was even more impatient.
"Okay, since you signed the death contract, now that you are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with you. Of course, if there is collusion to blackmail, that's another matter. If you don't want to be sent to the government, let's go now. ”
Mrs. Zhang and Siya had a quarrel that day, but they didn't get half of the benefits, so why would they forget it, they opened their mouths wide and shouted again, and were dragged out of the house by several mothers-in-law.
It wasn't until the voice was getting farther and farther away that Mrs. Ma's face slowly became ugly.
Duan saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly got up and asked for guilt: "The old lady is angry, it's the daughter-in-law's fault, and the daughter-in-law will ask Chen Yubao to talk back after a while." ”
In front of Mrs. Li, Mrs. Ma didn't want to lose face to Duan's face, so she just gave up, but glanced at Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen was not stupid, so she hurriedly knelt down and said, "Old lady, I was reckless." At the end of that night, I signed a death contract, and I had to punish her for being unclean, and there were many ways, I should have handed her over to the eldest lady earlier, and I shouldn't have let her hear the news and run away. ”
Duan's heart was surprised, it was not strange that Aunt Chen was soft to the old lady, it was strange that she didn't pour dirty water on herself and Aunt Li, which was surprising.
This kind of scene, Zhen Xuan is a little uncomfortable, after all, it is not their own business, they have to be punished and trained, and it is always inappropriate for her to be here.
Mrs. Li also thought so, so she said: "Sister-in-law, it's not too early, I'm going back, I'll talk to you about that matter another day." ”
Mrs. Ma naturally wouldn't keep it, so she asked the Cao family to send Mrs. Li and Zhen Xuan out.
Mrs. Li didn't let Zhen Xuan hold her, and said, "Xuan'er, I'll go back first." You go talk to your sister-in-law, she's about to give birth, and she's bored. Seeing that Zhen Xuan was not at ease, the old lady smiled, pointed at Cao's and said, "Let your fifth aunt send me back." ”
Cao Shi rolled his eyes when he heard this, smiled brightly, and said in a suppressed voice: "It's still the sixth aunt who knows me." The old lady is angry, so I don't want to look for bad luck, and I don't have the slightest benefit and offend my sister-in-law, so it's better to go to the fourteenth brother and sister to talk, and feel more comfortable. ”
When the Cao family said this, Zhen Xuan couldn't refuse anymore, so he sent them to the carriage before going to find Sun.
Sun's family was about to give birth this month, and he was resting with his eyes closed, and he raised his head when he heard the sound: "Seventh sister is here, hurry up." ”
Sun's spirit is not very good, the whole person has a feeling of weakness, Zhen Xuan asked a few words, and she said: "It's okay, this baby has a big belly, and it is indeed more tired than when Brother Chen was born, and it is only half a month younger, and it is good to give birth." ”
Zhen Xuan didn't understand the matter of childbirth, and when she heard Sun ask about going to Shaozhou, she chose a few interesting things to talk about in detail.
Sun laughed while listening, and said: "Seventh sister is much more interesting when she talks about things than Xiangcui and Diancui, so tell me again, what happened just now, crying and making trouble." ”
After Zhen Xuan finished talking about the matter, Sun's delicate brows frowned slightly, and said, "I remember the end of the night, I have the impression that she is a timid maid, how dare she be?" A few days before she disappeared, I met her and saw her, it seems that this was the time, so she suddenly cried when she swept the ground, bluffed Aunt Chen, and said angrily that she was going to sell her. ”
Sun only remembered so much, and he couldn't remember the others.
Zhen Xuan couldn't sort out her thoughts for a while, so she wrote down what Sun said, and planned to think about it carefully when she calmed down.
The two talked again, and then got to the matter of this month.
In this September, not only is Sun going to give birth, but Zhenke is also going to leave for Beijing at the end of the month, and Duan's has a lot of things to prepare, and there must be no sloppiness at all. Zhen Che's trip to Beijing has also been decided, and Master Pei has sent a letter, saying that he has found a good teacher for him, and he will definitely be able to do something in the future.
When Zhen Xuan heard this, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and before she came back, she had thought about going to see Zhen Che, it was better to pick up the sun than to hit the sun, and she would go in a while.
Lu Zhenxuan in Qingde Hall was very familiar, and she didn't alarm anyone, she picked a small path that led to the courtyard where Zhen Che lived.
The cobblestone path is narrow, and it is much cooler than elsewhere because it is blocked by large trees on both sides.
Zhen Xuan slowed down, the silence here made her relax, but she didn't go far, but she saw a person kneeling down from the big tree in front of her.
The man didn't notice that Zhen Xuan was approaching, and while adding paper money to the brazier in front of him, he muttered: "Second grandmother, spare the slave maid......
