No. 172 Reason
Wu Yeshi, who was in a coma, was placed on the bed, and the doctor checked the pulse and said that Wu Yeshi was caused by anger and attack. The doctor also said that Wu Ye's previous illness was not good, and now he vomits blood, which is not a good thing, and he must let Wu Ye's rest for a month, otherwise it will leave the root of the disease and it will be difficult to cure. In the end, the doctor prescribed the medicine, instructed the decoction matters, and took the consultation fee to leave.
When Wu Ye woke up, it was already ten in the evening.
Mama Ye put away the gloom on her face, and asked softly with a concerned face, "Miss, do you feel better?" ”
Wu Ye stared at the top of the bed without saying a word.
When Mama Ye saw it, she stopped talking.
After a while, Wu Ye's gaze turned to Mama Ye's face, "Where is the letter?" ”
Mama Ye was stunned, "Miss, what letter?" ”
Wu Ye asked eagerly, "Where is the letter that Mrs. Ben is holding in her hand?" ”
Mama Ye's face turned pale, and she knelt down in front of the bed, "Please forgive Miss, the old slave was so panicked when he saw Miss faint, he didn't pay attention to Miss's letter." She was so careless that she forgot to believe it.
Wu Ye's chest rose and fell so badly that she couldn't get up, so she gasped according to her heart.
Mama Ye was not frightened, and stretched out her hand to comfort Wu Ye's family, and persuaded her, "Miss, don't worry, Miss, don't worry, but the maids who are waiting in the house are put away, and the old slave will ask them." ”
Wu Ye shouted angrily, "Useless waste, don't hurry up and find it!" ”
Mama Ye didn't dare to delay and hurried to do something.
The maid and wife who were waiting in Wu Ye's room were recruited by Mama Ye for questioning. Unexpectedly, everyone said that they had not seen any letters, and no one admitted to taking them.
Wu Ye's eyes did not blink and ordered, beating, the maid and the maid did not let go of any of them, and beat them all until they asked for the whereabouts of the letter.
The board went down, and the maids couldn't stand it, and they all cried and cried out for wrong.
At this time, a rough maid said that she had seen the magenta girl leave the courtyard in a panic, and that the lady was unconscious at the time, and the doctor had not yet arrived.
Immediately, a mother-in-law also said that she had seen the magenta girl go out.
The maid named Magenta was also beaten, and she cried out that she had gone out to meet the doctor. The big maids around Wu Ye's side are all named with a character, and this magenta is one of the big maids who can enter and exit Wu Ye's room and serve Wu Ye's family closely.
The rough maid said that Magenta was lying, and Magenta had not returned when the doctor arrived, so she was obviously lying.
Wu Ye was lying on the bed, and when he heard that the spearhead was pointed at magenta, he guessed where the letter was, so he sneered, and asked people to call Mama Ye to the bed, and explained in a low voice, "End that cheap girl." "Whether it's magenta or not, it's a rare opportunity, just in addition to magenta, a cheap girl who eats inside and out. She had always suspected that Magenta was Wu Zhenjiang's eyes and ears by her side, and when she didn't think that haunting things disturbed her, Magenta was less alert than she used to be, revealing her flaws.
Unexpectedly, Magenta was not Wu Zhenjiang's person at all, but Master Wu's person. She talked privately with Mama Ye that night about Wu Zhenjiang and Ye Lan taking money, and told the credible girl in advance to keep an eye on Magenta's every move. Sure enough, after Magenta eavesdropped on their conversation, she went out under the pretext of reporting the matter to Steward Wu. Therefore, she got a silver ticket of 3,000 taels from Master Wu on the second day.
On the surface, Master Wu gave the three thousand taels of silver tickets to make up for the gap of three thousand taels taken by the eldest lady and the third lady. In fact, he was appeasing Wu Ye for his second son, the second master Wu Zhenjiang. He understood that Wu Ye's family had received the guidance of the Taoist chief, and he would definitely take out a large sum of silver to give it to the ancient mansion, and he must be extremely resentful in his heart. So he took advantage of the fact that the eldest lady and the third lady took three thousand taels of silver from the princess, and privately gave Wu Ye's silver ticket, wanting Wu Ye's to feel that his father-in-law was more partial to her.
In this way, Wu Ye's heart will be a little less mustard, and he will work harder to save his second son. The current Wu Mansion needs the help of Wu Ye's maiden Ye Mansion. Because, the current enemy of Wu Mansion is not only Gufu, but also a more difficult opponent. However, Master Wu never expected that Magenta exposed his feet and was beaten to death by Wu Ye's excuse.
The magenta in Wu Ye's room had unclean hands and feet, and the news that he was beaten to death with a stick spread to the ears of the masters of each courtyard in a short time.
Master Wu drank tea for a while, and passed the housekeeper to see him. "What's going on?"
Steward Wu wiped the sweat on his forehead, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the little guy next to Master Wu, "Back to Master, eighty percent of it is the bane." ”
Master Wu frowned, asked the little maid to put the letter on the table, and then waved his hand to let the little guy retreat, leaving only Steward Wu in the house, "What is this?" ”
Steward Wu explained, "After the second lady fainted, the servant invited a doctor, and was waiting for the doctor in a hurry, when the magenta girl quietly came to see the servant. The magenta girl handed the letter to the servant, saying that the second lady had fainted after reading the letter. The minion scolded her for being too reckless, and she seemed not very happy and turned away. The master went out to meet friends at that time, and was not in the house, so the servant received the letter and waited for the master to return to the house. Unfortunately, when the old man returned home, the old lady sent a servant out on an errand. The slave had just returned from outside, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard about the magenta girl, and the slave guessed that it must be the letter that was to blame. ”
Master Wu calmed his face, opened the letter, and at first glance, he found that five or six words had been cut out, and the ones that were cut out were basically one word, and only one place seemed to have five or six words cut out. He froze for a moment, then stared at the letter. When he read the whole story, his face was extremely ugly. He slapped the letter on the table with a snap and scolded a bastard.
Steward Wu was startled, but he stood with his hands down with his eyes and nose and heart.
Master Wu had already understood the reason why Wu Ye killed magenta, and at the same time, he also understood the reason why Wu Ye vomited blood and fainted. In the past, the second son's official became bigger and bigger, and the scenery of the entire Wu Mansion was infinite, which made him ignore the second son's bastard nature in some aspects. Now that the second son has committed something disgraceful and is detained in the yamen prison, the past scenery is no longer there, so that the bastard things done by the second son are being taken out one by one.
Although he was angry, because it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, it was not a big problem to be amorous and lustful, so he didn't feel that the second son had made any big mistakes, but the second son was unlucky and planted a big heel. Even if the second son is caught in this matter, no matter how big others make about it, it will definitely not be too heavy when they are convicted in the end. Moreover, they increased the intensity of their activities, and Ye Fu helped to move around again, maybe the second son could get out without guilt. His idea was good, but what he didn't expect was that his second son was so confused, how could he leave such a handle to others?
He didn't have to look at the payment, he recognized it as a handwritten letter written by his second son. What is written in the letter? The whole article is full of words of admiration and affection, and there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth that the unknown sister is boasted of. Not only that, but the letter also mentioned how vicious and hateful the wife of the house was, and compared to this sister, the wife of the house was the dominatrix. He also wrote that marrying such a dominatrix was not his original intention, but it was really forced by the form, and his father and mother were forced to do so tightly.
Such a letter, not to mention that Wu Ye would vomit blood when he saw it, but Master Wu was so angry that he almost flipped the table. At this point, there is naturally no reason to return this troublesome letter, but it can't be left in his hands. Old Man Wu sat with a gloomy face for a moment, beckoned Steward Wu to step forward, and whispered a few words to Steward Wu.
On the second day, Pinmei, who lived in the same room as Magenta, reported to Mama Ye that she had found suspicious ashes under Magenta's bed when she was packing up Magenta's things.
Mama Ye took people to see that there were indeed ashes of burning things in the corners of the inside of the bed legs, and there was also a corner of the unburned letter. Mama Ye took matters into her own hands, carefully received it in the veil, and held it for Wu Ye to see.
Wu Ye saw that there were not two and a half words on the corner of the remaining letter, and he did not speak.
Mama Ye asked in a low voice, "Miss, is it a lost letter?" ”
Wu Ye snorted, frowned, and became a little uncertain about his previous judgment. Didn't Magenta get the letter out in time? Magenta was afraid that the letter would be found, so she burned it?
Mama Ye didn't know Wu Ye's thoughts, "Miss, since the letter has been found, you can relax your mind and cultivate your body, and you must not be angry again." ”
Wu Ye returned to his senses, "Did the Taoist chief say when to do it?" ”
Mama Ye hurriedly replied, "The Taoist originally said that he would do it tomorrow, and all the things he needed have been prepared. Miss, you are not in good health now, why don't you postpone the practice for a few days? ”
Wu Yeshi vetoed, "It's not good, just do it tomorrow." She didn't want to be haunted by Ye Lan's ghost anymore.
Besides, in Kangxi Town, in addition to Gufu Tianzhuang, there are also some villagers in Dagujia Village and Xiaogujia Village who are continuing the autumn harvest in full swing, and the autumn harvest in other places around the town has ended.
Gufu Tianzhuang, as well as some villagers in Dagujia Village and Xiaogujia Village, will not complete the autumn harvest for a long time, not because they are late in the autumn harvest work, nor because they are lazy, but in the middle of the autumn harvest they spend four to seven days to plant winter wheat.
Li Zheng Li Chu of Dagujia Village took half of the families in the village to plant winter wheat with Gufu Grange. Most of the people in the village have a wait-and-see attitude and have not let go of the courage to follow the trend.
Although Xiaogujia Village is smaller than Dagujia Village, the villagers of Xiaogujia Village are based on the principle of the li. Ancient trees dare to be planted, and eighty or ninety percent of the villagers dare to plant them. Moreover, the villagers of Xiaogujia Village are more likely to do things than the villagers of Dagujia Village, and they have to rely on Gufu Grange to plant winter wheat, so when Gufu Grange was busy with the autumn harvest and wheat planting, every household took out manpower, and even helped Gufu Grange for a day or two.
In this way, in guiding the planting of winter wheat, relatively speaking, Wu Langtou, the steward of Wu, took more care of the villagers of Xiaogujia Village, and also lent them two iron plows specially used to plant wheat. This made Gu Dashu and the villagers very happy, and then their village pulled two carts of cabbage radishes and sent them to Gufu Zhuangzi to express their gratitude.
In this way, the wheat planting plough rod on the ancient village became famous at once, and not only the farmers with good conditions came to inquire where to sell, but even the stewards of the large families and granges came to visit.
Steward Wu instructed these people to inquire at the Guji grocery store. Qingshu had explained in advance that the plough of this wheat was made by themselves in their village, so they naturally had to sell it in their own shop. The blacksmith shop has also said that when the Guji grocery store receives an order, the blacksmith shop will make a plow. At the same time, it was promised that the wages of the blacksmith shop would be paid by pieces, and that the wages for a plow would be paid for making a plow, and that there would be no arrears.
On this day, Qing Shu was sitting in the study and pulling the abacus, and the ancient housekeeper came over and whispered something.
Qing Shu listened and said, "Very good." Is the room ready? ”
Butler Gu replied, "It's all cleaned up." Also, according to Miss's wishes, she has already bought the scholar who is waiting from the official tooth and comes back. This scholar was originally the son of an official family, and after the official family declined, a group of slaves were sold. Because this scholar was literate, he was able to sell it for a few more money, and he was also sold. As for his father, the slave checked it and sold him to another place a year earlier. Unfortunately, his father and mother were bandited while traveling with their new master and did not survive. He has no relatives and no reason now, and he has no concerns, and he will only be loyal to the young master in the future, and it is unlikely that he will have different intentions. ”
Qing Shu nodded, "You look at him and give him a name, and observe it for a few more days." ”
Butler Gu, "Yes, miss." ”
Qing Shu flipped through the pages of the book and asked, "What's the new news from the Wu Mansion?" ”
Steward Gu, "I heard that Wu Ye's vomited blood and fainted the afternoon before yesterday. Yesterday, Wu Ye ordered someone to kill a big girl. According to the legend, today Wu Mansion will set up an altar to exorcise ghosts. As for the outcome, there will be news tomorrow. ”
Qing Shu smiled slightly, "Let's sit and wait for the good news." ”
