Chapter 24 Wooing
"Wait." The eldest lady blocked.
"Sister-in-law, ...... are you" The second master was puzzled, but leaning on the eldest lady is the eldest sister-in-law. As the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, he is not good at questioning in front of so many people, and it is not good to do things that go against him, so he lengthens the volume of doubts.
"Uncle, I don't think this person will be sent to the yamen for the time being." Seeing that the second master frowned, the eldest lady said meaningfully: "Since this guy dares to talk about the innocence of the master in person, maybe no one is staring at him in the yamen, and he even speaks wildly and insults the lintel of the Yu family, but it's not good." ”
"It's okay, I'm ......" Seeing that his wife couldn't stop frowning at him, the second master paused, thinking that the Liu family had an idea, if it weren't for the past few years, she was doing lady communication behind her back, and he wouldn't be where he is today. So, he changed his tone and said, "But it's up to my sister-in-law to decide." ”
The eldest lady nodded and said to her family: "Hold this guy in the firewood room of the east courtyard and keep it under strict guard." He also pointed to Fu Duoduo and said: "Fu Shi did not report it, and there was a loss of women's morality, five boards to show punishment, and he was closed to the firewood room of the West Courtyard for reflection." As for these girls...... "The eldest lady pondered, and the second aunt took a step forward and whispered to her.
After a while, the eldest lady's face changed greatly, and she shouted angrily: "Red Plum, Green Chrysanthemum, you dare to do such a dirty thing!" ”
As soon as he spoke, the people present listened to him one after another.
"Big lady spare her life!" Seeing the second aunt's actions, Hongmei probably guessed what she would say to the eldest lady. Although she and Lu Ju have never done it, it is not good to tell the truth, so she can only keep crying and crying for mercy. Hearing this, Lu Ju on the side was so frightened that her body was like sifting rice bran, she couldn't stop shaking, her mouth opened and closed, and she wanted to tell the truth of the time one by one, but when she saw Fu Duoduo beside her, she couldn't help shrinking her neck, not to mention Hongmei, she didn't speak, so she had to slam her head to the ground to ask for forgiveness.
"Do you still have the courage to beg for mercy? Bundle Mom! Bundle Mom! The eldest lady was angry, and what was even more annoyed was that the second aunt looked like a villain, so she made her heart tense more and more, "Drag them out and kill them all!" Set an example! ”
Hearing this, the second aunt covered her silk brows and smiled.
I thought to myself, this will make the eldest lady angry enough!
The more she thought about it, the more the second aunt wanted to laugh, which attracted the attention of the third aunt standing beside her.
looked at the eldest lady with a pale face, and then looked at the smile that the second aunt emanated from her heart, which aroused the curiosity of the third aunt, took a step forward, and asked softly: "I said second sister, what are you laughing at?" Say it and let your sister have fun together? ”
The second aunt glanced at her contemptuously, put down the silk handkerchief slowly, and flicked her head slightly, ignoring it very arrogantly.
This made the third aunt very angry and wanted to reason with it, but when she thought of the current scene, she could only wring her veil angrily, very unwilling.
All this made Fu Duoduo see it in his eyes, and he probably knew the behavior of these two aunts in his heart.
However, these are not the most important now, save the red plum and green chrysanthemum in advance.
Speaking of green chrysanthemum, Fu Duoduo glanced at her, but he was surprised that he would lose the opportunity to defend himself in order to defend himself, causing the eldest lady to punish them with a cane. It seems that although this man is a little timid and afraid, he still has loyalty.
With an idea in his heart, Fu Duoduo rushed to drag Hongmei and Green Chrysanthemum down when the servants were about to drag Hongmei and Green Chrysanthemum down, and shouted loudly: "Big lady, they are wronged!" Mrs. Su Wen presided over the feed, everyone was convinced, don't let some people be blinded! Big Lady! Forgive them! Deliberately aggravated some people, blinded, the tone of these two words, and also looked at the proud second aunt intentionally or unintentionally.
Sure enough, it attracted the attention of the eldest lady.
Originally, when the relatives of each room were present, it was very inappropriate to deal with the affairs of the inner courtyard, but today's situation is more special, and the second aunt is looking like a good show, if she doesn't deal with it immediately, maybe she will toss out something. What's more, it's such a thing, it will definitely make people talk behind it, guessing what these two maids have done. Now, the situation has changed, and nine times out of ten Fu Duoduo is wronged. At that moment, he waved his hand to let go of the green chrysanthemum and the red plum, and asked, "You ...... What dirty things do you do in the back garden? ”
Red Plum and Green Chrysanthemum looked at Fu Duoduo one after another.
Fu Duoduo didn't look back, looked at the eldest lady, and said, "The eldest lady is a reasonable person, just tell the truth." ”
Hearing this, in order to prove their innocence, Hongmei and Green Chrysanthemum shook their heads like rattles.
"Really?" The eldest lady glanced around, and saw that they were all looking forward to the excitement, in order to prevent someone from telling her that she was not strict in governing the family, she asked solemnly again: "If you want to deceive with lies, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”
"Nope! No! Please be aware of it! Midori Ju was so frightened by the eldest lady that her teeth chattered.
Relatively speaking, Hongmei was much calmer, lying on the blue bricks, and said word by word: "If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the back garden to inspect it, and you can know the truth and falsehood." ”
At this time, Fu Duoduo also said in a timely manner: "The concubine was also present at that time. ”
Hearing Fu Duoduo say this, the second aunt was so angry that she stretched out her hand and pointed at Fu Duoduo tremblingly, wanting to say something, but it was not easy to say, so she could only swallow it into her stomach in one gulp, after all, what she said to Ying'er at that time was really not good to say in front of many people.
When the eldest lady saw this, she knew in her heart that she could already see who was right and who was wrong.
It's just that, in order to make a show for the other rooms, she still sent someone to inspect the bushes next to the pavilion in the back garden.
Soon, the man replied that it was "clean as usual, and nothing dirty."
"In this case, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." Hearing the eldest lady say this, Hongmei and Luju were already grateful, and couldn't stop kowtowing, "You are the ones I sent to take care of my aunt and grandmother, but you can let that guy be held hostage, damaging the reputation of your aunt and grandmother, and each cane will hit ten boards." As for Chunfu, he is not able to take care of the eldest young master, and he also plays the top ten boards! As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked people to drag Fu Duoduo and the other four out.
After punishing a number of people, the eldest lady was in a good mood, took a sip of tea, and sneered at the people in the rooms: "Let me make you laugh, a simple matter has been made out of these moths." Of course, this person is referring to the second aunt.
The second lord and other big men present were not interested in the affairs of the inner courtyard, and they didn't care much about the farce just now, but their wives were different. As the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, they thought that the eldest lady could be said to be in the backyard with one hand, after all, for so many years, the big house only got Yu Shiyi such a single seedling, but they didn't expect to be so embarrassed by the small concubine's room, embarrassed in public, they couldn't help but sympathize with her, and they were a lot closer.
Probably this is also the root of people's inferiority, for those who are better than themselves, they are very blind, but the situation is worse than their own, and they often have some sympathy.
The eldest lady saw it at a glance.
I thought in my heart that I wanted to control Fuduoduo better in my own hands.
The second aunt was so angry that her teeth were itching, which was the opposite of the smugness of the right talent.
She originally wanted to use this incident to embarrass the eldest lady in public, and then operate it privately, so that she could have a reputation for not being strict in governing the family, but she didn't expect to be disturbed by the girl Fu Duoduo, and also destroyed the relationship that was finally made up by the wives in other rooms, and cast her contemptuous and spurned eyes, how could she accept it? What's more, the third aunt on the side also sarcastically said a few words from time to time, which added a layer of hatred to Fu Duoduo.
Fu Duoduo didn't know what happened to the wives of each room after she left the hall, but what she did know was that the pain of flesh and skin was about to happen to her.
was pressed on the bench by two mothers-in-law, and there was a very strong mother-in-law standing beside him with a wooden stick with thick arms, looking at this battle, it was enough to make people afraid. At this point, Fu Duoduo can only comfort himself, fortunately there are only five rods, and it should soon pass.
"Executions begin!"
With the order of the housekeeper's mother, the muffled sound of the "bang" stick and the flesh touching quickly sounded in Fu Duoduo's ears.
Before Fu Duoduo felt too much pain in the flesh, the cane beating was over, and fortunately, this mother-in-law, who looked quite strong, didn't feel much pain when she picked up the stick, and the pain that made people unsteady in her resemblance was far from it.
"Auntie, the old slave didn't hurt you!" Just when Fu Duoduo was confused, the mother-in-law who carried out the execution had already helped her up and asked softly in her ear.
Fuduoduo looked up at her in surprise.
Indigo padded jacket, loose skin, full of frowns, a hint of silver in her hair in a bun, although she looked very old, at least forty-five or more, but looking at her peculiar shimmering eyes, it was not like what she had at that age.
Fu Duoduo was not familiar with this old woman, and it was strange that she had such a polite expression, and he couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in his heart.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law looked back at the housekeeper who was facing away from them, and then whispered to Fu Duoduo and said, "Auntie, this matter was specially instructed by the eldest young master Wenzhu, saying that you must not be wronged by Auntie. ”
Gentleman?
Fuduoduo frowned.
His news must have come too quickly! This amount of time is already enough to take care of everything for yourself.
Raising his eyes to look at the Hongmei who were being executed, Fu Duoduo was relieved. Since he has already made arrangements, he should arrange these little girls.
Just thinking about it, he saw that the woman continued: "The eldest young master also asked the old slave to tell you, saying that you should pay special attention tonight, and be careful. ”
