Chapter 15: Murder Pays Death

The sunset has not yet sunk, the brilliant afterglow obliquely shines on the courtyard, the wind enters the carved window, and it already has a bit of summer heat, but Chungui listened to A-Niang's sad and indignant narration, although her bold speculation was confirmed, but there was a very sharp coolness, jumping all over the spine and fingertips, she could almost clearly feel the pores trembling, the fingers were spasming, she remembered that she had never liked the heir brother Huaqu, who followed behind the patriarch back then, and when she cowered and called her "sister", her face flushed shyly.

When the heir brother was not tempted to gamble, whenever she went to Fenyang City, she would bring back a few things, first dolls or pastries that the children liked, and then it became poetry books or pen, ink, paper and inkstone, when she smiled and thanked her, the heir brother would be triumphant.

Ah Niang mourns her father, and her worries become ill, and her brother will also sigh and carefully comfort her.

Seeing that she is still busy with female celebrities late at night, she will also stop it, worrying that she will hurt her eyes.

Whenever she persuaded her brother to be motivated, Huaqu always blushed and didn't dare to argue.

When Gu Huaying planned to use her to cling to Zheng Sanye, Ah Niang was angry and refused, in the face of the angry clan grandson, the timid Hua Qu dared to dissuade her: "My sister's marriage is all up to Ah Niang, and the clan brother still doesn't have to force it." ”

will also promise Chungui that he will never compromise with the powerful, although such a guarantee is actually pale and weak.

But Chungui understands that the heir brother is not duplicitous, at least in her marriage, the heir brother did not make concessions to the Zong family, and he even proposed to set a marriage for Chungui first, so as not to make any more calculations by the Zong family, but unfortunately Chungui was still mourning for his father at that time, and he couldn't discuss his relatives.

As soon as he was removed, there was a big change, and the heir brother owed a large amount of money without saying goodbye, and it turned out that he was murdered by the Zong family, and he had become a wronged bone in the pit.

The soul maid came out but looked at this pair of mother and daughter, one was sad, the other was silently angry, she sneered softly: "You two, you are really hypocritical, you obviously fell into this situation, all because of the unsuccessful heir, wouldn't he just get his wish when he died?" It's ridiculous to be in such a stance. ”

Li Shi has always disliked arguments and justifications, and ignored the ridicule, but Chun Gui looked at her: "My heir brother, although he does not know how to be motivated, gamblers, lazy and so on, he is not a qualified son, let alone an excellent brother, but should he die?" And whether he dies or not, it does not prevent the Zong family from embezzling my family's property, the reason why he will be murdered is because although he is cowardly, he is also opposed to giving me to others as a concubine, it is precisely because he has become a stumbling block for Gu Huaying in this matter, which is not conducive to Gu Huaying's clinging to the powerful, so he has attracted the disaster of killing. ”

Chungui turned around and left the carved window completely open, so that she could see the remnant sun like blood, releasing the last of its beauty at the end of the day at the beginning of the mountain.

"If you die in vain because you are not so good, you should ignore or even applaud, so that it is not hypocrisy, it is reasonable, then should you admit that the weak eat the strong, then I should not hate the clan, but should resent that I was born a small one, and deserve to be a mermaid, if this is justice, when a breath of anger is cut off, why should the soul stay, and all obsessions should not become obsessions."

The meaning of the last few words was quite vague, but she understood it, her habitual eyes were round, but she did not refute, but turned thoughtful, and asked after a long time: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Murder pays for life." Chun Gui coldly spit out four words.

But to make the evildoer deserve it, for today's Spring Return, it is not an easy thing, she is thinking about a plan, but she didn't expect the Zong family to start a new action. One day, Mrs. Gu summoned Chun Hui to see her, but Mrs. Xing came to the mourning hall almost every day to take care of her, helping to entertain the female guests who came to mourn, and happened to be present, so she volunteered to follow Chun Gui to Mrs. Gu's house.

Old Mrs. Gu easily remembered to get back to the point, Old Mrs. Chongxing rolled her eyes to show a temporary truce, and pointed to the two maids who had stood aside for a long time, drooping their heads, and let Chun Gui see: "Your marriage is imminent, my uncle and grandmother, I can't let you marry your husband alone, I chose these two maids for you, from today on, they will serve by your side, that Guo's mother and Wen Xi are the people who need to be used by Mrs. Shen's side, it's not good to stay in our house all the time, delay the matter at the other end of the main house, I also prepared a gift for you, thank them well, Let's go back to the governor's government first. ”

The old lady Xing stared at the two maidservants, and saw that they were all bewitching and charming, and the character of the eyebrows and eyes, how could she not understand what the old woman was thinking, but to say that, the spring return is lower than the high marriage, then Uncle Zhao is both the eldest son and has a bright future, and he must not be able to stop the concubine in the future.

only said: "In the future, my uncle's family, but Zaifu's family, there should be more rules than ours, and the deeds of these two maids must be handed over to Chun'er together." ”

This is also reasonable, Mrs. Gu couldn't refuse, she only sneered secretly: What if you gave this dead girl a body deed? Two slaves and maids, one is the son of the family Lao Ziniang who is still in the Zong family, although the other is bought from outside, it is not that she can't use her family as a threat, and she is afraid that they will betray the master and be subdued by the dead girl?

Chun Gui didn't pay much attention to the two maids, and first talked about Guo's mother and Wenxi: "Originally, I was afraid of delaying Mrs. Shen's affairs, so I didn't dare to work for a long time, but Guo's mother insisted on staying and taking care of them, and it was Mrs. Shen who repeatedly told her that if Ruo'er insisted on sending the two back, she was afraid that Mrs. Shen would misunderstand, not to blame that she didn't know what to do, but thought that her uncle and grandmother insisted on refusing Mrs. Shen's kindness." ”

Mrs. Xing hurriedly echoed: "Since Mrs. Shen doesn't care, why should her younger brother and sister be stubborn? Mrs. Shen understands very well what kind of situation Chun'er is in the Zong family, and the reason why she left these two servant women is not to prevent her younger siblings from being confused again. ”

This army will be won, Mrs. Gu has no choice but to give up, but she knows that the spring return will have to be an inch again: "Originally, Mother Song's family was also an old servant who served her grandfather and grandmother...... Although the grandmother pointed to the two sisters, the two sisters were given by the elders, just as the grandmother assigned to replace the servant women of Song's mother's family, A-Niang and granddaughter can only respect, it is not good to send them, the granddaughter went to another family, and there is always a shortage of people around who can do heavy work. ”

The original Song mother, is Chungui's grandfather Gu Changning when he split up and lived separately, he was a family servant, very loyal, her daughter Mei was jealous of Ju Shy, she grew up with Chungui, and the friendship was not like the master and servant but like sisters, but unfortunately as soon as Chungui's father passed away, the Zong family made an excuse and used another room servant to change Song Mama and them back - at the beginning, Song's mother's deed was not handed over to Changning for a room, and the Li family was cowardly and did not dare to disobey the Zong family, although he did not give up the old servant, he did not refuse.

As a result, the servants and maids who replaced Song's mother did not listen to the Li family and Chungui's dispatch at all, and they used to roll their eyes, saying that they were old ladies' people, and they were very noble, and if Li and Chungui were slightly reprimanded, they would be unfilial and disrespectful.

Later, the Li family sold their land and property, and they didn't have spare money to support these servants, so they simply returned them to the Zong family, and there was no one left around the mother and daughter.

Of course, Mrs. Gu doesn't value Mother Song very much, she just deliberately makes things difficult for the Li family's mother and daughter, so she has nothing to do, and now she is willing to let Chungui get her wish: "The Song family made a mistake in their service, and I don't know where to punish Zhuangzi, and for a while, I can't find anyone." ”

Spring return has a bright turnaround, and began to think about finding Song's mother's family, how can you not be prepared?

reminded: "I didn't go to the Zhuangzi outside, my granddaughter inquired, Mother Song is responsible for the sprinkling and cleaning of the inner courtyard, Uncle Song and his father are responsible for raising livestock, and the family is still leading errands in the Zong family." ”

The mouthful of sulfur in Mrs. Gu's mouth exploded from her mouth: "The elder doesn't dare to resign, do you still have any rules!" ”

"The granddaughter didn't dare not accept the kindness of her uncle and grandmother, but she ...... These two sisters and granddaughters did not dare to work, so they had to beg their grandmothers to give Song's mother's family and granddaughters as companions. ”

Mrs. Xing hurriedly helped: "To put it mildly, the Song family's original is an old servant in Jicang, they are not counted in the Jicang daughter-in-law's sale industry, it was before this, they were replaced by their younger brothers and sisters, since the daughter-in-law of Jicang returned the servants and maids that were exchanged for Suo, the younger brothers and sisters did not dominate the Song family, and the Hengzhu clan did not lack the manpower to sweep and raise, so why bother to fall into the insatiable pretext again?" Chun'er wants to marry Zaifumen, and she is going to be the eldest granddaughter-in-law, and it is too thin to have only two maids by her side, so it is appropriate to add a companion room. ”

This army will be even more desperate, and the old lady Gu can't resist the sulfur in her mouth, so she has to hum and compromise.

Spring returned today, and also made up his mind to fight back strongly, and was not satisfied with begging for the return of the old servants, and then forced forward: "Uncle and grandfather also agreed to inherit the heirs of the ancestors for the first monarch, only in order to repay the debts of Brother Huaqu, A-Niang has sold the acres of land to the Zong's family, and the grandmother also knows that Chuan Qibo has a room, and his life is not rich, Brother Bin has passed to Daddy, and he will no longer be able to rely on Chuan Qibo to help in the future, and the granddaughter thought that she would use the only remaining house in A-Niang's dowry to turn over the funds and buy back the acres of land from her father's ancestors. Handed over to Brother Bin to operate, so Brother Bin does not worry about his livelihood, not only to worship the family ancestral hall, but also to concentrate on his studies. ”

This time, the old lady Xing didn't even wait for the old woman to get angry, and she said another verbal squeeze: "That is, Chun'er, don't look at it as a girl to be married in the boudoir, in order to think so thoughtfully for her father and heir, to change to another greedy and short-sighted, where is she willing to use the house left by her deceased mother to redeem the land and hand it over to the heir brother to manage, in the end it is her father, one who has passed the examination, and the other is also a girl from the official eunuch family and raised, don't say that we are stronger than the girls of the sect's generation, brother and sister, it's not that I said you, Look at your family Shuzhen, what kind of virtue is it now, if you don't change it, don't talk about your clan, our entire clan of the Fenyang Gu clan will be slandered and despised. ”

She looked at Mrs. Gu rolling her eyes and her chest rising and falling, like a firearm about to explode, and she didn't stop: "To put it simply, Jicang's nephew is gone, Brother Rong, the uncle, is too inauthentic to calculate the property of widows and orphans, Chun'er doesn't care, that is because she is filial piety and etiquette, and knows the rules, but those of us who are elders can't be too shameless. ”

Mrs. Xing is so righteous, of course, in the current situation, it is more beneficial to make a good spring return than to a good Zong family, and to force the Zong family to agree to let the Spring Return redeem the land at the original price, Yu Gu Changxing's house did not have the slightest damage, she was happy to add firewood to help the fire, and watch the Zong family suffer a loss.

The more angry Mrs. Gu became, the more happy Mrs. Xing became, feeling that the whole person was no less than ten years younger, and she had not been so proud in front of the old woman for a long time.
