Chapter 19 Prison at home
Along the way, there was no figure in the house, it was empty, only one or two of the rough mother-in-law who made the broom stayed in their respective courtyards to watch the courtyard, it was obviously the hot atmosphere of summer, but it was a little more treacherous.
Xiao Yi helped me, but she was trembling with fright, she said: "Since I was bought into the mansion, I haven't seen such a battle in four or five years. ”
She was almost shaking and couldn't even walk steadily, but I still supported her with my backhand, as if she was the master, I said: "I haven't experienced it before, but I have experienced it now, and it is also a good thing with you, so I can save myself from messing up when I am alone in the future." ”
"Girl, you don't seem to be afraid at all?"
I sighed, what's the use of being afraid now? It's clear that things are coming at me, and I can only block them with soldiers, and the water will cover them.
The gate of Qiushitang can be lively, and a large group of noble ladies are crowded in the house, and the second-class maids accompanying the noble ladies in the courtyard are also noble. I didn't salute me all the way through, if I had a seizure on a normal day, but today, alas.
The little one opened the curtain for me, and I went in sideways, and the ladies in the room all threw their eyes at me, and I first greeted the old lady on the first seat. The old lady pointed at me and burst into tears: "You, you, Ming'er is the one who will be the princess, and now we old bones can't summon you, right?" ”
There was a noble lady sitting under the eldest lady, and she took over the conversation bitterly and said: "I don't know if it was a romantic affair yesterday, and it caused a major incident that stabbed the saint in front of it, causing the eldest lord to be blamed, and even our lord was implicated." ”
Without waiting for the old lady to let me get up, I spontaneously stood up and sneered at the mean lady: "You say so, but you have directly condemned me without going through the Holy Lord, and I don't want to, where did I offend Madame, and actually want to bring such a shackle of unwarranted sin?" ”
The eldest lady held the Buddha beads in her hand and played a round field, pulled the menacing lady behind her, and said to me: "Second girl, your second uncle and aunt are also in a hurry, and they have no words to hide, and everything comes out of their mouths. ”
"It's one thing to be considerate, it's another thing to frame me," I replied to the eldest lady unceremoniously, "This is a big case that has gone through the imperial front, with twists and turns, and each sentence has to be seen by the saint himself, where is it like the second uncle, the speculation without the slightest evidence directly put the charge on my head, I was wronged, it's okay to say, it's just a family, just say it, but such a transgression of the verdict, isn't it not that the saint is not in his eyes?" ”
As soon as the eldest lady shook the bracelet, she smiled: "Yes, yes." ”
Several noble ladies were still talking in different places, but now they were straight, and they looked upright and virtuous.
"All right," said the old lady, tilting her head and raising her hand, to stop our quarrel, "before the things outside have stopped, you are quarreling in your own house, and you have not taken my wife and son into account." ”
I stopped talking, but my second uncle and aunt still didn't give up: "Old lady, old lady, look, I just said one sentence, and the second girl gave me ten sentences. ”
The old lady slapped the slump and said angrily: "Since you think that you are not a wife, let me get out of the door and go back to my yard to stay!" ”
The second wife stood up in fear: "Old lady, daughter-in-law is only ......"
"Cuiliu, why don't you help your wife go back to the room?"
A beautiful woman with the appearance of a girl stood up gracefully, she was a raw and elegant, her head was only decorated with a few ruby petals, she got up and saluted the old lady and said: "Old lady, my mother is back in the hospital alone, and I am really not at ease as a daughter, so it is better to let me follow to serve, so that the old lady and the ladies can rest assured." ”
"Nonsense!" The old lady reprimanded, "Later, I will let the eldest man search the house, and the people in the yamen are still sitting in the front yard." You are a girl who is not staying with me at ease, what are you going out to have a good time? ”
"But mother, she ......"
The old lady waved her hand and said, "No matter what your mother says, she is also protected by a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law who are full of children, and you are indispensable to serve alone!" ”
The girl saluted and said, "Yes." He sat back down.
I see that something is wrong with this family, how can such a vulgar mother-in-law be allowed to enter the door by saying that it is Zhong Mingding's scholar's family? The appearance of the little family of the wife of the main house is almost Ming'er wants to have property on his face.
Looking around, it was so good, they were all full, and the maid with status also occupied a good position next to the master's family, so I stood awkwardly in the middle of the lobby, looking like an interrogation. The old lady sat on the soft slump in the middle of the end, with an ivory-colored mat on top of it, and was leaning her head to weep, ignoring me at all. The rest of the ladies did not dare to come out, and each sat in their own place as a statue, as if they were as smart as a big wife, and had already begun to turn their hands and chant Buddha.
I had no choice but to tell Xiao Yi, who was acting as a maid next to me, "Go and help me move a chair." ”
Xiao Yi is a quiet character, but most of this temperament is also cautious, she looked around, and persuaded me clearly: "Girl, good girl, you stand for a while, the old lady didn't say to let you sit down." ”
It doesn't matter if I stand still, but the master of the whole room has his own place, and I still have to stand in the center of the hall like the person being held accountable, hey, I don't want to lose face?
"Oh no, the old lady is bad!"
There was a maid who rushed in in a panic with her head on top of the curtain, and knelt in the center of the hall and kowtowed directly with her strength.
The old lady scolded: "There is no rule in a hurry, is this how to greet the masters?" ”
The maid kowtowed a few times viciously, "The old lady forgives the old lady for the sins, and the old man outside sent a message for the slave to tell the old lady, saying that something was found, and I hurried back to the old lady." ”
The old lady didn't panic somehow, as if expected, but she glanced at me first before asking, "Tell me, what did the old man say, and what did he find?" ”
"The master found a moon-white men's dress in the courtyard of the second girl, saying that it was the same as the one mentioned in the court!"
The ladies in the room were in an uproar, and the old lady asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter, what about the eldest lord, what can I say about this!" ”
Before the maid could reply, the old man rushed in, and I quickly noticed the movement, and quickly avoided it, not wanting my father to come straight at me, and raised his hand high and prepared to slap me directly: "Rebel girl." ”
My mind turned one hundred and eighty times to think of my own coping strategy, and I also had one hundred and eighty ways to catch the slap of this weak scholar who was powerless.
"Smack!"
My head was beaten to the side, and although one side of my cheek was red and swollen and hot, it didn't hurt much, but in the end it still gave the old man a face, and I caught the slap with my face.
"What's the matter, sir, what's going on!" The old lady asked angrily, but she didn't care about me being slapped.
The eldest man seemed to be so angry with me that he was about to go crazy, and his fingers were shaking violently when he pointed at me: "This rebel girl, this rebel girl, old lady, I really found a moon-white men's dress in this rebel girl's room, the body pattern is no different from what I said in the court, the tall man in the yamen has already taken the evidence back to restore his life, and asked me to detain the second girl in her courtyard, and wait until the will of the upper head comes down to get people, the second girl really can't escape this catastrophe!" ”
I hurriedly made a sad and uncontrollable appearance, dragged the old man's clothes and knelt down, I somehow I saw a few black lights as between his eyebrows, but now I have tears in my eyes, maybe I am wrong, I cried: "Father, how can you say that detention is detention, and my daughter doesn't even know what is going on, why is it that I want to come and take my daughter?" ”
The third lady came up to support me with a gentle and virtuous woman: "Yes, my lord, our mother-in-law's family can't go to the court, but I heard that you came back from the next court, saying that someone in our house made a big mistake and wanted to search the house, and this search was also searched, but it was also searched by my own family." But this is inexplicably about to take the second girl, how can it not sound good! ”
There's a girl in the house who committed a crime and was escorted into the house, can this sound good?
The eldest lord glanced at the third wife, and seemed to be very unhappy that she made this noise, but the women in the room were waiting for an explanation, and he probably couldn't bear to lose face, so he said coldly: "This morning, Kyoto Prefecture Yin reported a big case, saying that a fire started on the flower street around today's ugly hour, burning three buildings and several houses, killing and injuring most of the people, and some people claimed that there was a month of white clothes and bamboo leaf pattern in the flower street that night Brother Gongzi made trouble, this Brother Gongzi is small, and his eyebrows seem to be dressed up as a girl's house, She left the flower street from time to time, and when she was ugly, when she walked on the water, someone saw it, and a villain who played the watch suddenly felt bad and followed, and saw her enter our house through the small door! The eldest lord sighed suddenly, "Kyoto Mansion Yin asked for an order to search the mansion, and the saint took pity on me, so he allowed me to search by myself, how do you know that something was really found from this rebel woman's room, and this time the human and material evidence is there, how can this rebel girl be kept?" ”
As soon as I heard it, something was wrong, I didn't talk about too many coincidences, and even the way I entered the door was different from mine, and it was clear that I was planting a blame.
The third wife was shocked when she heard it: "The concubine heard the third master say that this flower building is mostly the property of the official family, and since Qi Xiangguan Zhong, there has been a saying that 'levy the capital of his night to enrich the country', and the three buildings in the flower street have been burned, isn't that ......?"
The old man sighed: "It's taking money from the treasury." ”
The old lady didn't ask me anything at all, and said coldly: "I'm stunned, if you don't take the second girl down for me, just lock me up in her courtyard and don't allow her to come out!" ”
