Chapter 177: New Widow
"Madame's surname is Cui?"
"The slave family is surnamed Cui, I wonder how this lady knows about the slave family?"
"The little second brother of the Wind Forest Inn said." Yan Suwen smiled brightly: "The second brother said that the scenery of Pinglin Lake is pleasant, and there is a family surnamed Zhang by the lake who is good at making fish, so let us come here, and we have to taste it anyway." β
"Yes, my late husband's surname is indeed Zhang, and my family's fish is indeed the most delicious on the shore of Pinglin Lake." Cui Ying'er twisted her waist and came to Gu Changfeng's side: "This master has an extraordinary bearing, isn't it the big man from Yecheng?" β
"Madame, good eyes, we are indeed from Yecheng."
Since the two of them entered the door, Yan Suwen noticed that Cui Ying'er's gaze seemed to be glued to her husband. Although she is a new widow, except for the small white flower on her head that seems to be decorated, there is no place on her body that reveals her identity as a new widow.
In the words of her time, this Cui Ying'er looked like a woman who was not in the room.
"I'll just say, this master doesn't look like one of our small places." Cui Ying'er said, and pasted it on Gu Changfeng's body again.
"Madame, let's fish us." Yan Su moved over without a trace, and took advantage of the time to speak, and nudged Cui Ying'er: "Madame is smoked with jasmine, right?" My husband is easy to say otherwise, but he is allergic to this floral fragrance and can't smell it. If you don't mind, please stay away from my husband as much as possible. β
"Allergic to flowers?" Cui Ying'er raised her sleeve and sniffed it: "My clothes have been smoked for a day, and even the smell of jasmine is almost gone." β
"My husband's nose is different from ordinary people, especially very sensitive to the fragrance of this flower." Yan Suwen stopped in front of Gu Changfeng: "Please also ask Mrs. to arrange the fish, we want to go to the lake for a cruise after we have eaten." β
"Go to the lake, I happen to have a boat at home." Cui Ying'er said, and even threw a wink at Gu Changfeng through Yan Suwen.
"The husband is really popular, and when he left Yecheng, he is still a fragrant bait, and even the woman who has just lost her husband can't help but throw a flattering look when she sees her husband."
"Husbands have always been popular, but Mrs. doesn't pay attention to them."
"Yes, yes, my husband is in a high position, with a powerful temperament, at first glance he is a typical rich and handsome, don't say it's Mrs. Zhang, it's Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Ma has to throw a flattering eye when she sees it."
"Madame is jealous?"
"No, I just think God is not very fair, not only gave my husband a good look, but also gave my husband a smart mind, extraordinary ability and the characteristics of attracting bees and butterflies."
"I don't attract bees and butterflies for my husband."
"Yes, yes, it's all because the husband is too handsome, so those bees and butterflies don't come from him." Yan Su asked the corners of his mouth: "Although bees can collect honey, they can also sting people to death." Although the butterfly is good-looking, it is of little practical use, and I ask my husband to keep a clear head, don't lose your identity for these wild bees and butterflies, lose face, and finally lose your wife. β
Gu Changfeng frowned, and dragged Yan Suwen to his lap.
"Did you recruit bees for your husband?"
"Nope."
"Did that lead the butterfly for the husband?"
"Not either."
"In this case, why does Madame speak with thorns, could it be that she is not confident in herself, and thinks that her husband may have abandoned you?"
"Not really." Yan Suwen struggled a little and jumped off Gu Changfeng: "I just think you're lucky, you met a girl like me, not Cui Ying'er." β
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
According to what the young man at the Wind Forest Inn said, it is inferred that Cui Ying'er's husband, that is, Zhang Guangen, has been dead for less than a month. It is said that at this time it is the time when Cui Ying'er is sad and sad, but Fujun has just seen it, she, a new widow, is not only flirting with guests in her own restaurant, but also flattering at you as a diner who has just come to the door, such a lady is afraid that it will be more excessive than Pan Jinlian. β
"Who is Pan Jinlian?"
"Wu Dalang's wife." 187
"Who is Wu Dalang?"
"Takematsu Takejiro's brother."
"Who is Wu Song?"
"It's the Liangshan hero who killed Ximenqing."
"Who is Ximenqing?"
"It's the one who conspired with Wang Po to tempt Pan Jinlian and poison Wu Dalang." After Yan Su finished asking, she suddenly remembered that her husband had never watched "Water Margin", and she didn't know who Pan Jinlian, Wu Dalang, and Ximen Qing were. Taking advantage of the time to serve the food, she decided to tell her husband a story, and by the way, popularize "The Four Great Classics".
"Oh, it's a story, a long story about cooking cakes." Yan Suwen turned to Gu Changfeng and sat down opposite: "The hero of this story is an honest and honest man named Wu Dalang, this man, less than seven feet tall, in the words of our doctor, has a disease called dwarfism. This kind of disease is brought out of the mother's womb, and it cannot be cured, nor can it be cured. Although Wu Dalang was sick, he was disabled and strong, and he was an ambitious man. This Wu Dalang's family conditions are not bad, and there is a two-story faΓ§ade house in a lively street market called Bianjing, that is, a shop. This floor is where Wu Dalang makes and sells baked cakes, and the second floor is where he rests.
As I just said, this Wu Dalang is a very ambitious and business-minded man. He knew that this business could not just wait at home, carry the flat pole around the street, not only can he sell the baked cakes, but he may also be able to pick up a lady who is like a flower and jade.
Don't say it, this Wu Dalang, he really encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
On this day, Wu Dalang, as usual, walked the streets and alleys to sell baked cakes with a flat shoulder early, and when he passed by a family surnamed Pan, he happened to hear the noise inside. Although Wu Dalang is a seller of baked cakes, he is also a warm-hearted man, he heard the noise in the house, and there was a faint cry of a woman, so he stepped forward with a flat burden, and was about to knock on the door to ask, when the door of the house suddenly opened from the inside.
Inside this door, a burden was thrown out, and then a person was thrown out, a woman with pear blossoms and rain, crying very sadly.
This woman is Pan Jinlian.
This Pan Jinlian was originally the maid of this family and served his wife. As a result, because of his natural beauty, he was taken by the master. After coming and going, these two people got along right under the nose of Madame. After Mrs. found out, she was very angry, so she planned to sell Pan Jinlian to the Qinglou. No, as soon as he was kicked out, he ran into the warm-hearted Wu Dalang.
In order to save Pan Jinlian, Wu Dalang took out all his savings. Mrs. Pan saw that Wu Dalang was quite sincere, so she gave Pan Jinlian to him as a lady.
From a maid who serves people, to the proprietress of a baked cake shop, it is said that this Pan Jinlian should be content. But she is a girl who does not accept her fate, especially after seeing Wu Dalang's younger brother Wu Erlang, that is, Wu Song, this heart is even more unwilling to settle down.
Unlike his brother, this Wu Erlang was born tall and mighty, sunny and handsome, and strong in martial arts, serving in the government. It's a pity that the sister-in-law is intentional and the younger brother is ruthless, so Wu Erlang naturally can't do the kind of thing that Pan Jinlian wants to happen. This Pan Jinlian was depressed, and said in her heart that she was born so good-looking, why did she marry Wu Dalang's short man instead of Wu Erlang, a young and handsome young man.
Day after day, this heart was also like a cat scratched, until that day I met Ximenqing.
This Ximenqing's family is engaged in trading, belongs to the rich son in Bianjing City, and he is also good-looking, coupled with his generous hands and clever arguments, he has become the white moonlight in Pan Jinlian's heart. Oh, to explain, the meaning of white moonlight is particularly beautiful.
This Ximen Qing was originally a romantic and amorous son, and after meeting Pan Jinlian, he also thought about it day and night, so he asked the princess to match him. Lang is affectionate, the concubine is intentional, and the two of them are really good when they come and go, and they often meet at the house of the princess behind Wu Dalang's back.
How can I walk by the river without getting my shoes wet, after a long time, Wu Dalang also heard some rumors, and he began to discipline Pan Jinlian, not allowing her to go out, let alone let her go to see any man casually. Pan Jinlian didn't like Wu Dalang in the first place, but when she saw him like this, she became more and more annoyed, and she directly bought poison and poisoned Wu Dalang to death.
After this Pan Jinlian poisoned Wu Dalang, she lied to the outside world that Wu Dalang died of illness, and he was about to be buried in a hurry. Wu Erlang heard about his brother and hurried back home. He was worried that his sister-in-law would be sad and sad because of his brother's sudden death, but he didn't want to hear the rumors between his sister-in-law and Ximenqing when he went home.
Wu Erlang, who was suspicious, opened the coffin of his brother Wu Dalang, and saw his brother who was bleeding and his face was blue, obviously his brother who died of poisoning, so he questioned Pan Jinlian, and cut off Pan Jinlian's head in front of Wu Dalang's coffin. Subsequently, Wu Erlang broke into Ximen's house and killed Ximen Qingyi. β
When Yan Suwen finished telling the story, she saw Cui Ying'er coming out with a plate. Looking at each other, Cui Ying'er's gaze obviously showed traces of dodging.
"What did Madame just say?"
"Bianjing."
"Bianjing? It's not our Da Wei, right? Sounds a little unpleasant. β
"Of course not." Yan Suwen first replied with a smile, and then asked Gu Changfeng: "In this story, Pan Jinlian, who had fun with outsiders and poisoned her husband, was cut off by Wu Erlang and died, I wonder if there is a criminal law in our Great Wei that is aimed at this situation?" β
"Yes!" Gu Changfeng nodded: "Not only that, but it is divided into different criminal laws according to what this woman does." Whoever poisons his husband like this will be tied to the castle tower and exposed to the sun for three days, and then skinned and cramped, and will be punished with a thousand knives. β
Every time Gu Changfeng said a word, Cui Ying'er's face turned white, and when she finished speaking, she could barely stand still.
