Chapter 18 Born to enter the yamen

"Yo, it's really a big girl back! I haven't been back for more than ten years, right? The woman who spoke walked out of the west wing, stroking the broken hair from the corner of her forehead. This woman was about thirty years old, with a melon seed face, big eyes, fair skin, and a dress made of red cotton, shining with silver hairpins on her hair bun, which seemed out of place with the other people in the courtyard.

Qiu Se looked at her a little stunned, and Wu introduced on the side, "This is your second aunt." This child, who has been away from home for more than ten years, is a little unrememberable. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The second aunt waved her hand with a smile and said to Qiu Se: "Come back from afar, go and talk to your mother, your mother has been talking to you a lot over the years." He glanced at the things in Mrs. Ding's hand who was coaxing Jinbao to eat, and said with a smile: "This child is really promising, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about it this time." ”

Mrs. Ding was unhappy, and interrupted the second aunt's words and said, "Second family, aren't you Zhang Luo going back to her parents' house?" What are you doing here? ”

"Mother, aren't I about to go out, and when I saw my eldest niece, I said a few words." The second aunt dealt with it casually, touched the coarse cloth clothes in autumn with her hand, and said pityingly: "The eldest niece has suffered all these years, and now she is finally home." But, eldest niece, did you go home and ask for leave from the master's house? It can't be a smuggler, right? ”

Mrs. Ding, who was still scolding, stopped her mouth suddenly, and asked with wide eyes, "What escape?" ”

"Mother, escaping is a slave who runs away behind the master's house, and if he is caught, he will go to prison, and even we will be implicated." The second aunt explained very clearly with Mrs. Ding.

"What? Did you escape on your own? Mrs. Ding immediately looked like a fried cat, "You hurry up and get out of here, don't bother me." ”

"Mother, the eldest girl just came back." Wu's Wu is in a hurry, her daughter has just come back, why did her mother-in-law drive her away!

Qiu Se, who had not interjected, spoke at this time, his voice was extremely flat, and even the ripples that surged in his heart just now disappeared, "I'm not a fugitive slave, it's because the master's family wants to enter Beijing and it doesn't take so many people to release my slave status, I don't believe you go to the yamen to check!" Qiu Se glanced at the second aunt as she spoke, I really didn't expect her to know how to run away from slaves, it's really not simple!

"Fuck your mother's fart, you just went to the yamen! You are a money-loser, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, my mother and I are very good, so I don't go there! Mrs. Ding opened her mouth and scolded, and the foaming star almost sprayed on Qiu's face.

Qiu Se didn't expect that he just wanted to say a word to prove himself but was scolded, the ancients paid attention to "life can't enter the yamen, death can't go to hell". She didn't expect that an unintentional sentence would cause Mrs. Ding to be so angry, and her face was red and white for a while, which was very ugly.

"Mother, don't be angry." Wu carefully moved his body in front of Qiu Se, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Big girl, she didn't mean it. ”

"Phew, maybe you taught it? What kind of good person ...... pretend" Mrs. Ding still didn't hold back, her hand was about to reach Wu's face, Wu obviously shrank and took half a step back.

"Okay, mother, go get pastries for Jinbao to eat, he doesn't seem to have eaten enough!" The second aunt smiled and took Mrs. Ding's hand and pushed her away.

The strange thing is that Mrs. Ding really dragged Jinbao away, but just spit twice in the direction of Wu's mother and daughter. This second aunt seems to have a lot of status in the Ding family, and Qiu Ze thought secretly.

"Don't care, big girl, your milk is like this, knife mouth tofu heart." The second aunt patted Qiuse's shoulder and smiled kindly at Wu's family, "Sister-in-law, you and the eldest girl should talk for a while, don't work today, third brother and sister, you can work for the eldest sister-in-law in a while." The second aunt shouted at the woman standing in front of the window in the west wing.

The woman was not as beautiful as the second aunt, but she was also very delicate and weak, I saw her give the second aunt a fierce look, "Whose job is whose work is whose work, you are so kind, why don't you do it?" ”

The second aunt laughed, no longer paid attention to the woman, and said to Qiu Se: "Big niece, the second aunt has something to do go out first, and we will talk again when we have time." Then he said to Sanya: "Sanya, tell you milk, I won't come back for dinner." With that, he walked away.

Wu smiled at Qiuse, and pointed to the woman standing behind the window: "That's your third aunt, next to you is your red apricot sister......" Before he finished speaking, the window was slammed shut.

Standing in the courtyard, Qiuse could still hear the third aunt and daughter talking.

"Hongxing, it's not good for you to be like this." It was the voice of the third aunt, as if there was some resentment.

"Mother, no matter how much you look at people, they won't give you pastries, what's the use!" There was dissatisfaction in the girl's delicate voice.

Wu's heart was a little uncomfortable, his daughter finally came back, but she didn't expect that the family first thought she had bought the wrong thing, and now she didn't even want to say a word, so she rushed up with a sullen breath, stretched out her hand and grabbed the hand holding the burden in the autumn color, "Go, go back to the house with my mother." As he spoke, he returned to his house with the autumn colors.

Qiuse's family lives in the east wing, there are three wings, the middle is the stove room, and the remaining two are the residents. The one on the south side was locked, and the stove outside had a thick layer of ash, so it should have been unoccupied for a long time.

Autumn followed Wu into the north room, which was a large kang, a square table on the ground, two repaired stools, and a few suitcases piled up in the corner.

"Come, big girl, sit on the kang and I'll pour you water."

Qiu Shi stopped Wu, "Don't be busy with your big belly, I'm not thirsty." ”

"Hey." Wu sat on the kang along the autumn color, looked at his daughter who he thought he would never see again, and cried again.

"When I just sent you away, I had nightmares all night long, and when I woke up, I cried, and wanted to take you back, but I couldn't screw your milk, and I didn't have any money in my hand. I don't know if you're doing well for so many years, and I thought I wouldn't see you until I died. God really has eyes, tomorrow I will go to the temple to make a wish......"

In fact, Wu really will never see her daughter again. Thinking of the dead deity, Qiu Se had the heart to say a few words, but he couldn't say anything just looking at Wu's big belly and sad appearance. After watching Wu shed tears for nearly a quarter of an hour, the autumn colors gradually became annoying, what's the use of crying?!

"Mother, is she really my eldest sister?" At this time, Sanya finished the word and entered the house, looking at the autumn color curiously, "Then why hasn't she come back once after so many years?" ”

"You kid, there are many rules in big families, and your eldest sister naturally has to listen to others." Wu wiped the tears on his face with a cloth towel, looked at the third daughter lovingly, and then at the eldest daughter who had been lost and recovered, and only felt satisfied, "I don't have any other thoughts in my life, as long as your sisters are well, I will be content." ”

"Mother, you have to give me a little brother! At that time, it looks like my milk is not partial. Sanya sat on the other side of the Wu clan and hugged her arm coquettishly.

Wu slapped Sanya's hand, "What are you talking about, dare to arrange your milk, and I'm not afraid of your father scolding you." ”

Sanya pouted, "Mother, my father listens to what my grandmother says, why do we do all the housework, and the second aunt and the third aunt are ready-made?" ”
