Chapter Twenty-Three: The Yu Family
"Our inside line at Minghe Courtyard handed over the news, saying that Mrs. kept Mrs. Sun in the house and talked for a while before letting Mrs. Sun out. The girl stood guard outside the house, and heard the sound of the teacup breaking in the house, as if the lady was frightened by something. ”
Mama Fang took the teacup, stood aside, and gave every move in the Minghe courtyard to Mrs. Xie in front of her word for word.
"I heard Luo Shi say that she received a letter from the Luo family a few days ago, and the uncle of the Luo family said that he wanted to pick up Luo and Jinniang and go back to live for a few days."
Mrs. Xie moved the Buddha beads in her hand, closed her eyes and asked Mama Fang behind her.
"What the old lady said is that Uncle Luo's wife Wu gave birth to a child, and now the Luo family is lively, and I want to invite Mrs. and Miss Jin to go back together to be lively."
Mama Fang put down the tea cup in her hand, picked up Mrs. Xie, who was kneeling on the futon, and said slowly.
"Jin Niang's age is not too young, and she has also reached the age of talking about marriage, I guess the reason why the uncle of the Luo family sent a letter over is nothing more than to talk about Jin Niang."
"Luo Qilin, the eldest son of their family, was raised in the middle of the year before last, and he went to Jinshi this year, if he can say Jinniang, wouldn't it be kissing and kissing."
Old Madam Xie had her own plans in her heart.
No one should think of ruining her intentions.
She doesn't want Jin Niang to marry like this now, so without her permission, no matter who she is, she doesn't want to decide Jin Niang's marriage.
"Let the two little girls in Minghe Courtyard keep an eye on it, what people has Mrs. seen these days, what words have been said, who has explained who to do, if you get the news, you will come to me without saying a word."
Mrs. Xie drank tea, waved her hand at Mama Fang, and motioned for Mama Fang to go out.
When Mama Fang went out, she seemed to remember something and said immediately.
"Old lady, the girl sent Zhulan, who was waiting beside her, out of the house, I don't know what to do."
"When Zhulan went out today, the mother-in-law guarding the door asked a few more questions, and Zhulan said a few words. said that the girl had given her an errand, and that it was not okay to tell anyone else. ”
is so dignified, what did Jin Niang send Zhulan out for?
"Find a few people to keep an eye on Zhulan and see where she is going?"
Mama Fang got the order and went down immediately.
Old Madam Xie sat in the room and looked at the golden silk nanmu statue of Guanyin enshrined on the incense case.
Her dedication over the years, if the Bodhisattva can open her eyes, she must protect her Jinniang.
……
In her dream, Luo Qilin returned to Suzhou after winning the Jinshi, and when she invited three or five friends to visit the lake to eat and drink, she accidentally fell into the lake and disappeared.
After disappearing for several days, the eldest aunt of the Luo family accompanied the old lady of the Luo family to the temple to burn incense.
Immediately afterwards, the eldest aunt of the Luo family dreamed of Luo Qilin's dream, and told the eldest aunt of the Luo family where his body was.
Xie Yunjin always felt that this matter was full of strangeness.
Cousin Luo is a child born in the water town of Jiangnan, and he has been very good in water since he was a child, and ordinary pools can't drown him.
How could a small flower lake drown Cousin Luo?
Even if you are drunk, accompanied by your friends, and the maid is waiting, you won't watch Cousin Luo fall into the water.
Unless, unless someone deliberately pushed Cousin Luo from behind and pushed Cousin Luo into the water.
Xie Yunjin lay on the couch and carefully recalled the dream she had when she dreamed of Cousin Luo.
Since someone deliberately wanted to murder Cousin Luo, in that kind of scene, only people who were familiar with Cousin Luo had the opportunity to do it.
So she asked Zhulan to go to Suzhou to investigate, which was correct.
Find out who Cousin Luo has a good relationship with, and then find out if he has a grudge with others, and deal with these people as soon as possible, Cousin Luo will not die young.
The Luo family's aunt and Mrs. Luo will not end up depressed because of the loss of Cousin Luo.
Cousin Luo is a good person, she will definitely not let Cousin Luo die again without knowing anything.
Yuelan stood on a plate with tea, the girl didn't speak, she kept lying on the couch, not knowing what she was thinking.
The girl these days, I don't know what's wrong, I always feel that the girl is chattering.
"Girl, the old lady's yard is waiting for Mama Fang, saying that the old lady wants to invite the girl to sit down!"
Yuelan put down the teacup in her hand and shouted Xie Yunjin.
"I see! When I've changed my clothes, I'll go! ”
Xie Yunjin said, and went into the inner room to change clothes.
……
Shou'an Hall, East Wing.
Today, Mrs. Xie stayed in her room and did not come out.
The Yu family and the Bai family were also too bad to rush over to the hall and disturb Mrs. Xie.
The Yu family had something in his heart and wanted to discuss it with someone, so he instructed the mother-in-law who was waiting around him and invited the Bai family and Mrs. Lin over.
Yu sat in the room, and after seeing Bai and Mrs. Lin coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him.
After seeing Mrs. Lin and Bai enter the house, Yu instructed the maid to close the door tightly and not let others in.
"Well, what did you invite me over for today? Could it be that something happened to my sister-in-law and she wanted me to discuss it with my mother. ”
Bai didn't know what the Yu family was doing, so he asked angrily.
Yu Shi didn't look at her, but turned his head, looked at the old lady Lin on the side, and shouted.
"Mother!"
Mrs. Lin let out an "um", with a cold face, and did not speak.
Yu looked at Mrs. Lin's appearance, swallowed her saliva, and said.
"The reason why I called my mother-in-law today and invited my mother and second siblings to come over is that I really want to discuss something with you."
"Say anything! There are no outsiders here! ”
Mrs. Lin took a sip of the teacup handed over by the maid and said.
"Mother, yesterday I wrote a letter to send to my brother who led the practice in Jinshan Temple, and told him about the evil things in the house, and as soon as my brother heard that it was the Xie family, he rejected me, and said that these things should not be involved."
Yu said cautiously, carefully examining the reaction on Old Lady Lin's face.
"What's going on? Could it be that your brother who led the cultivation in Jinshan Temple knows something?" Mrs. Lin lowered her head and drank the tea in her hand, and asked again.
Yu was a little embarrassed.
I don't know if I told Mrs. Lin and the Bai family about these things thoroughly, or if I hid them from them and didn't let them know for the time being.
When the time is right, tell them.
Looking at Yu's hesitant look, Old Lady Lin coughed lightly and said directly.
"If you have anything to say, say it! No one is stopping you here! ”
In that case, then she said.
Yu raised his head, glanced at the old lady Lin in front of him, and said.
"Mother, what the daughter-in-law wants to say is about Jinniang."
Is it about Jin Niang?
What the hell is going on?
Without waiting for Old Lady Lin to ask, Yu had already opened her mouth first.
"It is said that four years ago, at the time of Jin Niang's eight-year-old birthday ceremony, Jin Niang talked for a few days, but she didn't wake up, and invited a doctor, who said that Jin Niang was evil, so I invited someone to come and take a look."
"A few days later, Luo and the eldest aunt went to Jinshan Temple to personally invite Fahai Zen Master to return home, Fahai Zen Master said that Jin Niang's body has lived in an evil spirit, if you want Jin Niang to wake up, you can only exorcise the evil spirit in Jin Niang's body."
"It's just that once the evil spirit in Jin Niang's body is exorcized, Jin Niang's body will inevitably be affected. Luo felt sorry for Jin Niang, so he invited Fahai Zen Master to perform the soul separation technique, and temporarily sealed the evil spirit in Jin Niang's body with a spell. ”
"Where did you learn all this? Your aunt hasn't mentioned it to me all these years. ”
Mrs. Lin asked Yu again.
Yu glanced at Mrs. Lin before stammering back.
"Mother, my brother who led the practice in Jinshan Temple told me that he practiced under the knee of Zen Master Fahai, and came to Qiantang with Zen Master Fahai four years ago, so he still remembers the events of that year. In Jin Niang's body, there is really an evil spirit sealed. ”
Yu Shi spoke, his voice getting quieter and quieter.
If such a thing spreads, not to mention that Xie Yunjin's reputation will be damaged, even the Xie family's reputation in Qiantang will be greatly damaged.
Who would have thought that the body of the third girl of the Xie family would be sealed with such an evil monster.
"Since your aunt has never mentioned this to me, let's continue to pretend that we don't know! These things, after all, are your own housework in your aunt's house, and your aunt and Luo will take care of them. ”
The teacup in Mrs. Lin's hand paused, and said.
Yu's face was full of surprise, and he said again intermittently.
"Mother, why don't we go back to Jinling in a few days! Brother Liu and Yu Niang's two children are in the house, and they have been with Jin Niang for a long time, and I am worried that the two of them will ......"
"Sister-in-law is worried, will Jin Niang hurt Brother Liu and Yu Niang?"
Bai Shi smiled on his face and suddenly spoke.
"If the eldest sister-in-law is really scared, she can take Yu Niang and Brother Liu and go back to Jinling first! I'm staying here with my mother. Looking at the frightened look on Yu's face, Bai spoke again.
"I think Jin Niang is a good boy!"
Old Madam Lin suddenly spoke.
"But since you are afraid in your heart, if you are worried that Jinniang's child will hurt Brother Liu and Yu Niang, you can take Brother Liu and Yu Niang and go back to Jinling first! After I accompanied your aunt to see your uncle, I will go back to Jinling!" ”
Hearing what Mrs. Lin said, Yu lowered his head and said.
"What the mother said, the daughter-in-law remembered it one by one. Without further ado, the daughter-in-law instructed someone to go down and pack her luggage, and I will take Brother Liu and Yu Niang away tonight. ”
Seeing that Bai was about to go out with Mrs. Lin in his arms, Yu remembered Lu Xing and chased him out to ask a question.
"That little son, do you also go back to Jinling with me!"
Old Madam Lin nodded and did not reply to her.
Seeing that Mrs. Lin was carried out by the Bai family herself, Yu sighed secretly a few times in her heart.
In the heart of the old lady, there is always only one daughter-in-law like the Bai family.
How could she have been?
Bai is just a businessman, in terms of identity and status, how can she compare to her?
Why would the old lady just prefer to let the Bai family serve by its side, but she doesn't want her.
But now that she has both children and daughters, and her husband respects her a lot, even if the old lady looks down on her from the bottom of her heart, it doesn't matter.
As long as she has two children by her side, she is always content.
Since she is going back to Jinling, before leaving, she still goes to see Luo.
……
Minghe Courtyard, the stewards of several courtyards, all stood in the courtyard, waiting for Luo's lecture.
After Luo finished explaining a few housekeepers, Xu Niangzi came over and invited Yu in.
