Chapter 020: A Defeat
Xincheng River, the turquoise river flows slowly eastward, the bright sunshine is warm and warm, the green trees on the river bank are like shade, and the river flowers are like fire, this beautiful scenery is really comfortable and comfortable.
The mother-in-law and servants of the Zhang family did not have the heart to appreciate such beautiful scenery.
They panicked one by one, some shouted that they wanted to go to Yipintang to ask for a doctor, and some said that the grandmother was afraid that she would break her leg and asked the sedan chair to come and pick it up, and some couldn't help but recite Amitabha, and the grandmother finally found it.
It turned out that Hua Hanyun had been sliding down the ditch to the Xincheng River, and her survival instinct allowed her to climb the raised rocks by the riverbank, and it was not until her eyesight recovered that she saw that what she had fallen just now was a drainage ditch.
Several mothers-in-law pulled her up from the drainage ditch and looked at her body, originally wearing a golden silk beaded bun, a five-phoenix hairpin, a red cloud jacket on the upper body, and a flower-sprinkled crepe skirt below.
However, now that it has fallen into the water, its makeup is messy, the phoenix has become a soup chicken, and her voice is dumb, where is the scenery of grandma?
When the sedan chair came, a group of mothers-in-law helped her onto the sedan chair, and the servants carried her back to Zhang's mansion without mentioning it.
……
After a fire, the West Corner Courtyard is still the same as before, and Lu Zheng's life is leisurely and regular.
Xu Liang led people to rob the grandmother of the Zhang family on the street and burned the Fuyun Restaurant, and the news that he wanted to burn the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family has been hotly discussed in Yangzhou City these days.
Xu Liang, Zhang De, Zhang Tai and several others were all taken and imprisoned, and more than a dozen shops that were burned down such as Fuyun Restaurant handed the paper to the Yamen of Yangzhou Mansion, which was tens of thousands of taels of silver plus more than a dozen lives, and this matter was not something that the Zhang family could easily settle the money.
Lu Zheng didn't expect his inspiration to move, and turned around to create such a situation, he told Qi Biao to let him see that once the T-shaped street was in chaos, he would take the opportunity to create chaos, probably just shouting and shouting, who would have thought that Qi Biao would actually set a fire in the backyard of the Fuyun Restaurant.
This chaos is too big, so big that it takes Xu Liang and a few other Hun brothers to fight each other with their lives, stealing chickens and rice, the atmosphere inside and outside the Zhang family in the past few days is extremely weird, what is the truth of the matter, no one dares to mention it now.
This truth can't be said, and no one believes it, the key is that the shopkeepers of the dozen or so shops whose families are ruined can't be believed, and the role of the Zhang family as a victim happens to be able to stay out of the matter, if you change your identity and get into trouble, it will be a big trouble.
From this point of view, some people in the Zhang family are now dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and they can't tell if they have bitterness, and they are very uncomfortable.
Grandma Hua Hanyun has been sick since the incident of Fuyunlou that day, she has been sick and can't leave the yard, there are so many things at home, she is in charge, grandma is not in good health, and things at home can't be delayed, Cuihong in Hua Hanyun's room has shared a lot of worries for her these days.
Qiu Guiyuan, the girls and mothers-in-law didn't dare to enter the main room of the second grandmother, Cui Hong waited, she sat at the head of the bed, and said in a low voice:
"Grandma, the ancestor sent black chicken soup over today, and sent you three ginseng pills that he used, saying that it was for you to make up for your body!"
"Hmmm! What's the news out there today? ”
Cuihong said: "Listening to the discussion of the little people outside, saying that the shopkeeper of Fuyunlou Tong handed the form to the Yamen of Futai, and the county master Zhou Bo counted the losses of this fire, saying that a total of twelve shops were burned, which was worth more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Of course, the hole in the silver can't be filled, and there are more than a dozen lives that are even more troublesome, Xu Liang and a few other brothers were directly sent to the prison, and Aunt Xu went to the eldest master's side, crying so much that her eyes were almost blind! ”
"More than 10,000 taels of silver?" Hua Hanyun gasped and asked again, "Brother Hao, what about Miss Baoyi?" ”
"Brother Hao went to the school, and he didn't come back for four or five days, I heard Qing Yao girl say, Brother Hao is working hard, and he will work hard in the spring of next year, and he probably won't come back in the near future!"
"He will hide from Qingjing, pierce the sky, and slip away with oil on the soles of his feet!" Hua Hanyun said.
"Miss Baoyi has been no different from before recently, but she has been more diligent in going to the grandmother's side, the grandmother is too frightened, and the ancestor sends soup every day, just like yours!"
Hua Hanyun sighed softly and said, "Xu Liang, Zhang Tai, Zhang De, these scum, should be cut with a thousand knives, it's not enough for them to harm the big grandmother, they even want to harm me!" Such a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged person, my Zhang family still wants to make silver? It is estimated that the old man also wants to cut them with a thousand knives! ”
Cui Hong: "Ah......hhhh
Hua Hanyun frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Emerald red? ”
Cui Hong blushed and said, "It's okay, it's a little sluggish to eat at night." ”
Hua Hanyun sat up from the bed, Cui Hong waited for him to dress neatly, and she said: "In the future, eat less of those pots and jars, and if you get stuck, those cooks will suffer." ”
"Grandma, are you so good?" Emerald Red Road.
Hua Hanyun rubbed her temples and said, "It's not so good, there are so many things piled up there every day, as long as you don't die, you have to do it." The old lady used to tell me that it was not easy to manage this house, but now I understand what the old lady said.
It's hard! I've only been lying in bed for a few days, and things are piled up there, you hold the lamp, let's go to the grandmother's side, she is such a weak person, she can't compare to me, I was so frightened, I didn't have ten days and half a month, I was afraid that I couldn't slow down. ”
Cui Hong was very happy in her heart, silently reciting Amitabha Buddha, thinking that Grandma had finally recovered her strength.
When I first came back, I was stunned like that without eating or drinking for two days, which scared people to death. Later, he began to eat, but he did not speak, and until today, he seems to have completely recovered his strength.
"Grandma, over there in the west yard, you ......"
Cui Hong said a half-sentence, and said something at Hua Hanyun, daring that it was Liang Shi's family who came to the courtyard.
Seeing this situation, Liang Shi's family hurriedly came over and said with a sneer: "Knowing that grandma's body is not good, the family just brought back a batch of fresh goods from Zhuangzi, which is not worth a few dollars, and it is rare to see the taste of the Zhuang family, so I will send some to your back kitchen for you to try the fresh ......."
"Sister-in-law Liang, how much can I eat! By the way, don't forget to send some to grandma! ”
"It's already been delivered!" Hua Hanyun said: "I said sister-in-law of the Liang family, in the future, we don't care about the affairs of the brothers, the masters." The affairs of the masters, there are the old man and the third master in charge of the family, you see this time I want to take care of it, I look at Xu Liang, Liu Song, Zhang De, Zhang Tai, these brothers are not in shape outside, but they have a close relationship with our Zhang family, speaking of which, these are their own brothers.
I thought in my heart that I could place them in the house, so that they could accept the rules of my Zhang family and have a positive shape. It can be regarded as a good thing for the eldest grandmother and Aunt Xu.
But look at the result, these Hun brothers are bold, dare to do anything, and pierce the sky, the eldest grandmother was frightened, I almost died, you say that this kind of thing can be managed by the wives and grandmothers in our backyard in the future? ”
Liang Shi's scheming city is much deeper than Cuihong, she can't help nodding and saying, "Grandma's intentions, we can all understand it as slaves!" It's those buddies who are not angry, I think that the wife and the old lady are kind-hearted people, fortunately, there is no danger, and grandma should not go to the heart! ”
Hua Hanyun and the two sang and harmonized, it was all nonsense, but the two of them were serious, and Cui Hong was secretly thinking on the side:
"Xu Liang, Zhang De's brothers died unjustly, but the brothers of the Lu family in the West Garden are still at ease! Grandma can really swallow this breath? ”
"Hey, the second grandma is good at everything, but she is too strong, her temperament is actually very soft, but the outside is very hard, she is sincere to the second master, but the second master is ...... Hey......"
Emerald red lights, Hua Hanyun and Liang Shijia talked while walking, and the group walked all the way to the orange village.
There were already several separate courtyards, which were now no longer needed.
Qiu Yue, the girl in the big grandmother's room, was guarding the door, and when she saw a lantern coming, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Where is the slave, don't you know that the big grandmother's body is not good?" Sleeping at night is the most unsightly, and there are big lanterns? ”
Liang Shijia said in a sharp voice: "Qiuyue girl, your sharp mouth should really be torn up for you, grandma came to look at the body of the eldest grandmother with her illness, which slave are you scolding?" ”
Qiu Yue hurriedly stood up and stood aside, she didn't speak, but her face was still ugly.
Liu Yun's voice came from the main room: "But Hanyun?" You yourself are not in good health, and you come to see me, where can I afford it? ”
"Sister, what are you talking about? You and my sisters, how can you stand it, what can't you stand it? Hua Hanyun cautiously stepped forward, glanced at the two people of Liang Shi's family, and said:
"You are waiting at the door, grandma is not in good health, I can't see many people, I can just talk to her by myself."
Qiuyue opened the curtain, Hua Hanyun entered the house alone, the willow house was like a snow cave, there were no utensils of one color, a pen holder was placed on the case, an inkstone, a few shengxuan, a few books fell on the bookshelf, the tent of the yarn was slow, the mattress was also very simple, and the big house was empty.
Liu Kun reclined on the bed, wearing a plain white home's robe, without powder, his face was haggard, but he did not lose the slightest elegance.
Hua Hanyun was shocked and said, "Sister, your house is too cold!" It's all these dog minions, are they really all dog eyes? The grandmother of the Zhang family is in such a house, is this the lintel of the Zhang family? ”
Liu Su smiled faintly and said, "It's the first time my sister has come to my house!" Don't blame them, it's my own loose temperament, and I don't see things crowded in the house, so I like this simple furnishing. Even if my sister sends me something, I'll have to give it back to you when I go back! ”
