Chapter 6 Murder by the Sword
In front of the Qingfen Pavilion, seven or eight servant women gathered from Xiang Mother came over menacingly, and they were dumbfounded as soon as they arrived at the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw that the two black lacquered doors were closed, and there was no movement in the walls, as if no one was at home.
Faced with this scene, Xiang Mother noticed the questioning eyes of those servants like pins and needles, and she crossed her waist and shouted angrily.
"Luoxia, what door is closed in broad daylight? Could it be that you are doing something unseemly in there? Why don't you get out of here and open the door? ”
However, on weekdays, as long as she is powerful, Luoxia, who is immediately humble and submissive, did not show up at all at this time. Not only did he not show up, but there was no sound of response at all in the huge Qingfen Pavilion.
Realizing that it was a dilemma at this moment, Xiang's mother almost gritted her teeth. She scolded wild seeds a thousand times in her stomach, a cheap one thousand times, and finally rolled up her sleeves directly.
"Get me a stick and smash the door! Close the door in broad daylight, either traitor or theft. These little hooves must be doing something nasty in the house, and I'm going to have to catch them! ”
Xiang Mom's front placket is bulging, and there are a few books that have just been searched out of the house and the son has not had time to sell. She only hoped that she would take advantage of the turmoil for a while, regardless of where she was in the Qingfen Pavilion, and put an end to the disaster caused by her daughter and son.
However, when the servants returned shortly after they had dispersed, they found only two sticks. Several people took turns to go up and smash the door with sticks, and a ping pong fell on the door, and the movement was so loud that even a few pieces of patent leather did not fall, let alone smash the door open.
In the main room of Qingfen Pavilion, Luo Xia and the two little girls hid behind the door, but they didn't know that Xiang's mother in the outer room had been riding a tiger.
The eldest of them is less than seventeen years old, and the youngest is only twelve years old, how have they ever seen such a scene?
A little girl shrunk into the arms of Luoxia, who had always been kind, and said with a crying voice: "Sister, I'm afraid...... Why don't we open the door? ”
"No, I don't." Luo Xia's pale face was a little more disgusting than she could not turn back, and she didn't know if it was given by Yue Qianqiu, or if it was a broken jar after the weak person was bullied to the extreme.
She took a deep breath and said viciously, "If they have the ability, they will break through the door of this Qingfen Pavilion and break in." ”
At this time, another little girl suddenly interjected and said, "Sister, even if the door can't be smashed, they can still climb the wall!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Luo Xia heard a sharp voice from her mother outside the door: "If you can't open the door, go find a ladder, I don't believe that these little hooves can turn over the sky!" ”
In the face of the huge movement outside, the three girls panicked for a while, and Luo Xia's fingernails almost sank into the palms.
She didn't know what happened to Yue Qianqiu, so that Xiang Mother was so crazy, but after last night, she had regarded the Ninth Prince as the only life-saving straw.
She was almost broken down and desperate, she took a deep breath and forced a smile on the two little girls: "If they really break in, you will push everything on me......"
Before Luo Xia finished speaking, the sound of slamming the door, footsteps, and commotion outside suddenly stopped, and it was a dead silence.
Not knowing what was happening, they couldn't help but look at each other. In the end, Luo Xia, who was a few years older, calmed down, took a deep breath and said, "Don't move in the house, I'll go out and have a look!" ”
Before Luo Xia, who had crept out of the house, reached the door, she heard a majestic voice that seemed familiar and unfamiliar.
"What is this all about?"
"Too ...... Wife. ”
Luo Xia gasped, but she couldn't care about the horror in her heart, she rushed to the door with an arrow step, looked out through the crack in the door, and her eyes suddenly fell on the middle-aged woman who hit the head.
The woman was not dressed magnificently, there was no gold emerald on her head, only a silver hairpin, and she wore an amber shirt with large sleeves, a pleated skirt in yellow color, and an autumn-colored gown on her head, and there was no expression on her dignified face. But a few young and jade-looking girls were clustered around her, but they were stiffly contrasted like green leaves, could it be the eldest wife?
And the one holding her hand on the right side, Luo Xia also recognized that it was Xiang Mother's sister-in-law, and she was often called Xiang Erniang's housekeeper and daughter-in-law in the house.
Xiang Mother's monstrous flames seemed to be completely doused with a bucket of cold water, and at this time, under the sharp gaze of the eldest lady, she involuntarily shrank her head, and she couldn't say anything at all.
She was still like that, not to mention the other servants she had called. I don't know who couldn't stand with weak knees, and seven or eight people knelt on the ground for a while.
Xiang's mother finally couldn't stand anymore, hurriedly curtsied, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then pretended to be calm and said: "Madam, I saw that this Qingfen Pavilion was closed in broad daylight......
"Needless to say." The eldest lady's casual gaze swirled in Xiang Mother's bulging arms, and then said lightly, "I don't care much now, but I can't tolerate someone in this family under my banner." Someone came and tied her up. ”
Hearing these last four words, behind a few girls dressed in red and green, two healthy women flashed out, and when they went up, they twisted Xiang Mother's arms left and right, and tied Xiang Mother down with their hands and feet, and stuffed a ball of rags into her mouth by the way.
"Together with the pair of lawless children in her family, each with 20 boards, I will be sent to Zhuangzi in the west of the city after the fight."
Seeing that Xiang's mother, who was still majestic just now, now seems to have become a plague chicken, and she can't even make a voice begging for mercy, Luoxia originally thought that she would be relieved, but her heart was up and down.
Especially when she saw the eldest lady glancing towards the Qingfen Pavilion when she was leaving, she knew that the two doors were blocking each other's view, and she should not be able to see herself, but she still couldn't help but tremble.
She had vaguely heard that the old lady had married the eldest lord at the beginning, and that family affair was high, and when the eldest lady came to the door, she not only brought a rich dowry, more than a dozen servants, but also the support of her mother's family for the old lady.
Even if the eldest lady's maiden family is nothing to the old lady Yue who is in full swing now, just looking at the majesty of the eldest lady just now, she feels breathless.
She got rid of Xiang's mother temporarily, but the ninth son got into trouble with the eldest wife, is it worth it?
When Qingcao hurriedly returned to Hemingxuan, it was already half an hour later, and he was sweating profusely, his sideburns were a little scattered, and he looked out of breath.
She glanced at Yue Qianqiu with an unprecedented look of awe, changed her avoidance of snakes and scorpions a few days ago, walked in front of Yue Qianqiu, and carefully bent her knees.
"Nine sons, Xiang's mother's family will be sent to the eldest wife to marry Zhuangzi tomorrow to farm, and there is a missing book here in Hemingxuan......"
Yue Qianqiu raised his head at this time, and said with a nonchalant face: "Grandpa also said to Uncle Ying a few days ago that it is time to replace a batch of books in the study, and if there is less, there will be less." ”
The implication is that no one said, how did grandpa know. But you'll have to make it up to me......
Qingcao forced out a smile, but he was relieved in his heart.
Xiang 's mother fell, and her mother became the most powerful henchman next to the eldest wife, but who would have thought that this was because of the incident caused by the ninth son?
