Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two: Spicy
This woman is very powerful, and seeing that the personal attack is not successful, she turns to talk about righteousness and sympathy.
Everyone bears the rent collected by the Yun family, who makes Yun Shu a rich man who has no worries about food and clothing, these words will definitely help her get people's hearts back.
Sure enough, when everyone heard this, they sighed. The woman did not take into account the strangeness in the sighs of the crowd, and thought that this sentence had helped her to stand on her feet. This thought was interrupted by a loud shout.
"You woman, you are really not a good woman! What year has the Yun family's rent been heavier than others? Considering that the reform has brought too much burden to the tenants, the Yun family has reduced the grain rent this summer by two percent, just to help you survive this catastrophe smoothly. In this Qinghe County, or even the entire Jiyang Mansion, is there any landlord who treats tenants so leniently? Not only do you not know gratitude, but you slander like this? What a conscience! My owner is kind enough to really feed the dog! ”
Yun Qi, who was working as a supervisor in the courtyard next door, had already heard the commotion here, and thought that he was just looking for Mr. Yan to see a doctor, and he didn't want to come over to join in the fun, but the woman poured dirty water on Yun Shu with her throat, and poured it all into his ears.
The woman was the serious master of the Yun family who had no skin and no face, and he could be reused by the Yun housekeeper, but the little master nodded, at the moment, how could he still stand over there, put aside what he was busy with, and rushed over.
Yun Hai came to deliver Guishu today, and after agreeing with Yun Shu, he informed the tenants in the village of the news.
The woman was stunned by Yunqi's drinking. The whole village quarreled, and no woman could quarrel with her, and today she was slapped in the face again and again, and she was stunned.
A "good old man" stepped forward and said: "She and her family went to the city today to make up for the grain, and they were called over as soon as they returned to the village. ”
Another said: "Don't you apologize to Yun Gongzi soon, don't mess around." ”
Yun Shu is also a relative of Steward Yun, but Steward Yun brought a lot of things to visit, and the degree of treasure can be seen. Yun Qi is also the right-hand man of Steward Yun, and even Yun Shu built a yard and asked him to personally supervise the work. If this matter is reported to Steward Yun today, and the master of the Yun family is added to the matter, maybe their entire village will be implicated by this ignorant woman.
How did they know that the head of the Yun family had just been splashed with dirty water by this woman, and he was watching the excitement from the side.
Yun Shu came back to his senses from his stunned stupor and looked at the two people who were speaking for him. She should have felt glad that after being slandered by the woman for a long time, the people in the village were finally willing to say a word for her, but after careful tasting, she loosened the fright and self-blame just now, and a desolate smile suddenly surged in her heart that was extremely inconsistent with a child.
Look at the villagers watching the excitement, the poisoned children, the busy father-in-law and the spicy woman in front of her. She kindly brought someone back to see her, and in a blink of an eye, she became the poisoner.
She can convince her father-in-law, Xue Yu, and Shan Cheng, but at this moment, she feels speechless about the crime she wants to add. What is the danger of adding to the sin? Each of them is a reason for nothing, how do you go toe-to-toe with her and refute them one by one? Her heart itched, and she wanted to laugh again.
Hua Niang also listened to the noisy woman in the courtyard in the kitchen, but Mr. Yan said that it was a matter of human life, and asked her to fry the medicine quickly, and she couldn't leave. The two medicine pots were opened at the same time, and the medicine was fried out with a fire, and it was easy for the first batch of medicine to be decocted and hurriedly brought out.
The woman's husband saw that the medicine had been decocted, and he was afraid that Yan Shizhen would be angry and not give his son medicine, so he hugged the child and shouted, "Apologize to Yun Gongzi quickly!" If Yun Gongzi hadn't brought them over, maybe no one would have found out at this time. ”
The woman was already strong, and now she was slapped in the face repeatedly, and even her husband wanted her to apologize, she was unwilling, but when she saw the medicine bowl, she also softened. Crying and crying, I can't help but ask Yunshu for forgiveness.
Yunshu didn't speak.
The woman had made up a "crime" against her in front of many villagers, and now she was begging for forgiveness. I'm not wrong, why should I be choreographed by her? Even if he takes out the gentleman's belly to forgive her, won't the gentleman feel wronged? Besides, she didn't have any sincerity to apologize at all.
If you forgive her, won't the crime have any impact in the slightest? Her father's experience taught her that it wasn't like that. Lian Shan Chengdu prefers to believe the slander of his father by gossip, and ignore the official statement of the imperial court.
In the battle of the court, the capable person turns his hand into the cloud and covers the hand for the rain, and the capable person can also bend and stretch. Seeing the big from the small, this woman is also a "talent"!
When the woman saw that Yunshu paid no attention to her, she came up again to pull Yunshu's garment.
Yu Hong suddenly became angry, "Just talk, apologize, apologize, what do you pull and pull?" If you dare to touch the tree again, I'm welcome. "Last time, he didn't protect her well, and he didn't want this matter to leave a psychological shadow on Yunshu again.
Yu Hong's words provoked Yan Shizhen to look back at him seriously, and then saw Yun Shu, who was protected by him, who was raising his head at the moment and looking at him with strange eyes. Yan Shizhen, who didn't know what Yunshu had experienced before, felt that with such maintenance and such dependence, the two were really like brothers and sisters.
And the woman wept again.
Yan Shizhen naturally wouldn't see death without help, so he withdrew his gaze that stayed on Yu Hong, ignored the woman, cooled the medicine, and poured it into the child, and several other children also used the medicine.
Yan Shizhen asked Hua Niang to fry again, and served them again after half an hour.
Seeing that the medicine was working, Yan Shizhen said, "This matter must be investigated, lest someone accidentally eat poisonous flowers and plants." He said to the boy who had woken up, "You haven't eaten anything else together except offerings?" ”
The kid was frightened by the scene just now, and nodded in cringe.
"Did you eat those offerings on the spot, or did you eat them somewhere else?"
"We were afraid that people would see us, so we took it to the forest next to us to eat."
Yan Shizhen pointed to the people in the courtyard: "You nominate three or four people, follow me to find out, and see where the mandala flower is implicated." ”
walked up to Yun Shu, raised his hand and touched her head, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Shu'er, my father-in-law will definitely find out about this matter." ”
Yun Shu was still a little immersed in Yu Hong's maintenance of her just now, and nodded a little stunned.
Yan Shizhen raised his head again and said to Yu Hong: "You are optimistic about her." ”
Yu Hong nodded.
Yan Shizhen walked out of the courtyard with a few people, but Yun Shu seemed to wake up from his daze and pulled Yu Hong out of his pursuit.
Yu Hong signaled to Yun Qi that he was optimistic about the people here.
Yun Qi nodded hurriedly.
"Father-in-law!"
Yan Shizhen turned around.
Yun Shu caught up with him, "Father-in-law, I'm going, I'm going to see with my own eyes what's wrong." ”
Yan Shizhen looked at her out of her stunned gaze, clear and firm, and at that moment, she really felt her growth.
As her mother said, she was very intelligent and tenacious. keenly noticed that those children were abnormal, and brought them back in time, with a good heart, and was slandered by a pungent adult. In this kind of thing, ordinary children will only feel frightened and aggrieved, and they will cry in fright. She did not flinch or blindly argue, but quickly calmed down and actively traced the source. is worthy of being the daughter of Jintong!
Yan Shizhen smiled gently and stretched out his hand to her.
Dusk is approaching the ancestral tomb of the Yun family, the old crow returns, and the cemetery is lonely and cold.
In front of the tombstone, the place where the cloud tree had placed the offerings was replaced by a row of dehydrated and wilted wildflowers, and it could be vaguely seen that they were four small handfuls scattered.
Yan Shizhen squatted down and took out a wilted white flower branch from it, and stretched the bouquet open with his fingers, it can be seen that the edge of the flower is shallow wavy, with one petal all over the body, but because of the formation of the wave, the petal tip is a layer of purple in the heart of the flower, a layer of yellow-green, a few purple pink stamens, and the stigma is purple-black.
A villager recognized it, "Isn't this an intoxicating flower?" ”
Yan Shizhen turned around, "Intoxicated flowers? ”
The man looked at it again and affirmed, "It's a drunken flower, that's right." ”
"It's a strange name, is there any way to say it?"
The man laughed: "It is said that picking it with a smile and making wine will make people laugh when you drink it; Dancing to make wine, drinking it will make people dance; Whoever picks it with a heel turn will turn it over after drinking it. Anyway, that's what the old man said, and he didn't see it with his own eyes. ”
These people who followed, and Yun Shu told them to go to the parents of those children, heard this, and added: "Those children are dancing on the road, isn't that what it looks like?" At the time, I thought it was an evil spirit, but now that I think about it, it really happened. ”
One of the two people who was quick-witted and had some prestige in the village, and who later persuaded the woman to apologize, took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Yan, did you say that those children ate this?" Didn't you say that it was the poison of the mandala? ”
Yan Shizhen thought about it and said: "The tree didn't arrange flowers today, these flowers are still scattered in four handfuls, which is what the child said." But this flower, I call it a mandala flower, probably different places have different names. ”
Yun Shu said: "The plate and a small wine jar for dim sum are gone, presumably they took it to another place to eat and didn't put it back." ”
The crowd dispersed, and found them in the woods not far away, where the boy had spoken, but the snacks on the plates were clean and the dregs were gone.
Yan Shizhen picked up the crooked wine jar, looked into the jar, and just wanted to hook up with a smile, but endured it. Reach out and pinch a wisp of white on the edge of the jar.
Everyone's eyes widened, wasn't that white thing the intoxicating flower he picked up just now, the mandala flower? It's just that this one has some rice wine and is moist, and a large piece is missing from the edge, as if it has been eaten by the lips and tongue on the edge of the wine jar.
"Shu'er, when you left, the wine jar was open, right?"
Yun Shu thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, father... Suddenly reacted, and hurriedly changed the words, "I wanted the aroma of rice wine to come out, so I opened it on purpose." ”
Yan Shizhen looked into the altar again, reached in, and pinched out another flower, the same as the one just now, but it was twisted and eaten more.
Holding the wine jar again, he came to the tombstone and asked Yunshu, "Where was the jar originally placed?" ”
Yunshu pointed to the place in the upper left corner that was covered with flowers, "It's there." ”
Yan Shizhen put down the jar and took out the mandala flower, or the flower branch of the intoxicated flower, from that handful of flowers, a total of five. Correspondingly, where there should be flowers, but there are no flowers, counting, there are three less...
