It turned out that Qiu Yuji's husband's family was the only son of Wan Yuanhu in the west of the city, Wan Yuanhu Wanjia had land and land, and opened a silk village in the capital, and it was a wealthy merchant family Wan Yuanhu married Qiu Yujiao, who was infertile for many years, and married a concubine, and the concubine gave birth to a daughter, who is now six years old

And the year before last, Qiu Yujiao was pregnant, and as soon as she got a man, the ten thousand families were naturally happy, and the ten thousand people were even more happy to hand over their home to Qiu Yuji

Wan Yuanhu is a scholar, hard to read, of course I hope that once I will be on the list to enter the dynasty He heard that there was a test question betrayal, so he naturally went home for the first time to buy the test question Qiu Yujiao is an upright woman, of course she will not do anything about buying and selling test questions, but she does not dare to go against her husband's will, so he secretly told his father-in-law that he has been innocent all his life, and naturally he refuses to do such a thing, once he is recognized, but he wants to lose his head, so he reprimanded Wan Yuanhu fiercely, and asked him to study well, If you can't succeed, just do your best

If this Wan Yuanhu worked hard according to his father's wishes, there would be no tragedy behind

Something happened to the old family outside the ten thousand people, and he and his wife both rushed back to their hometown and explained that Qiu Yujiao was in charge, and Qiu Yujiao naturally did his duty and did not dare to make mistakes

Wan Yuanhu saw that his father and mother had returned to his parents' house, so he asked the concubine to lure Qiu Yujiao away, and went to the account room to steal money

Wan Yuanhu was furious, but it was his own wife who was in charge, and even if he was angry, he wouldn't be able to get the money

When he was bored, he went out to ask someone to drink, and after drinking, he took dozens of taels of silver to the casino, but lost all the dozens of taels and borrowed hundreds of taels of debt

The owner of the gambling house has coveted Qiu Yujiao for a long time, and took the opportunity to coerce him to sell Qiu Yujiao to him to talk about the owner of the gambling house, who is over fifty years old and has countless wives and concubines in the family, but has no descendants so far, of course, it is the owner of the gambling house who has no fertility He said to Wan Yuanhu, as long as he sells his wife and children to him, he can pay another five thousand taels of silver to give him five thousand taels is a temptation, the test question is three thousand taels, with the test questions, are you worried about not being able to name the gold list? When the time comes, he will become an official, and then snatch his wife and children back is the simple idea of a scholar, and in this way, Qiu Yuji and his son were sold by him with a contract

The owner of the gambling house came to ask for someone, Qiu Yujiao was told in advance by the maid, hugged the child and fled in a hurry, but was chased to the river, she couldn't bear the humiliation, jumped off the river with the child, and the owner of the gambling house saw that there was a life, and hurriedly took someone to leave Wanyuanhu After learning about it, it was Qiu Yujiao who fell into the river and ordered someone to be buried hastily

After the couple came back, they learned that their daughter-in-law and grandson fell into the river and died, and they were sad, and they both fell ill Qiu Yujiao was buried in the chaos, all because of the words of the concubine, saying that he killed Qiu Yujiao and the child by mistake, and wanted to be buried in a cold place, so that she was unable to come back to avenge the concubine who had long been at odds with Qiu Yujiao, and wanted to replace her, and now that she is dead, she got what she wanted, and naturally did not want to give her too much mourning, and because she knew that her husband was a soft-eared person who had no opinions, he offered a plan to bury Qiu Yujiao in a bitter cold place, It can be regarded as avenging the revenge of being ruled by her in the past

The concubine said in front of the two elders that they had spent a lot of money to find a good hole for Qiu Yuji and the child, and the couple naturally had a little more love and pity for the concubine

These things are all the resentment in Qiu Yuji's heart when he went back to Wanfu on the night of his soul after his death, but unfortunately he had no ability to take revenge, so he had to leave depressed

Long Chuxia listened to Qiu Yuji's narration and said lightly: "Your husband, it's not a pity to die!" Although she was angry in her heart, the more angry she was, the more she put her thoughts back

Qiu Yuji said bitterly: "I don't have the slightest pity for him, it's just that my in-laws have always treated me very well, and now that I know that the child is gone, they are heartbroken and fall ill in bed, and the concubine won't serve, it seems that they won't last long."

"I'll go over here, you stay here to take care of the children, and at noon, remember to feed the food I have made!"

"Yes, I get it!" Qiu Yujiao said gratefully

Long came to Wanfu in the west of the city in early summer, Wanfu is not very big, and the construction is very simple, much shabby than ordinary mansions, at least from the outside, among the houses in this row, the most inconspicuous is this one

Long Chuxia knocked on the door of Wanfu, and the door was opened by an old man who was about sixty years old, looking at the outfit should be a housekeeper, she asked politely: "Old man, may I ask if Wan Yuan is outside?" ”

The old man looked at her a few times and asked, "Girl, what are you looking for my master?" ”

Long Chuxia said with a sad face: "That's the case, I am your eldest grandmother's sister in the countryside, I heard that something happened to her, so I came to ask what happened!" ”

The old man hurriedly opened the door, "It turns out to be a relative of the young grandmother, please come in quickly!" "Even a person who has never met before, as soon as he heard that it was Qiu Yuji's mother's family, he immediately treated him with courtesy, which shows that this young grandmother is very popular on weekdays

"Thank you, old man!" Long stepped into the house in early summer, the decoration inside is nothing special, the courtyard-style house, the pavilion rockery is of course, but the vacant land has a variety of melons and vegetables, there are not too many flowers and plants, so that people have the feeling of planting into the farmhouse

The old man said: "Since the young grandmother and the young master Sun left, the lady has been ill, and the old man's health has deteriorated a lot, hey, God really has no eyes, how could such a thing happen?" ”

Long Chuxia was silent and walked with the old man

When I walked to the court, I saw two girls walking over with a woman wearing purple embroidered orchid satin, her skin was fair, her makeup was exquisite, her eyebrows flew obliquely into her temples, and her eyes were quite sharp

She said coldly: "Steward Wan, this young grandmother has only been dead for a long time, and she has been taking women to the house, are you and I also dead?" ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly saluted: "Second grandma, no, the one last time was indeed Dr. Li's daughter, she came to deliver medicine and this one is the sister of the eldest young grandmother's mother's family, come and see the master!" ”

"Hmph, can your young master's fancy intestines hide from me? is obviously unwilling to be lonely, and if you want to set up a concubine again, no matter who you are, you are not allowed to enter! The woman said indifferently, and glanced at Long Chuxia with disdain, "Seeing that you have beautiful eyebrows, isn't it better to find a good family to marry, than to be a concubine?" ”

Long Chuxia pretended to be puzzled and asked the housekeeper: "Old man, which grandmother is this?" ”

The old housekeeper said: "This is the young master's second grandmother!" ”

"Second grandmother?" Long Chuxia asked puzzledly, "Is the second grandmother the main room?" ”

The second grandmother raised her eyebrows and sneered: "What a sharp mouth, that's right, I am indeed a concubine, but I will soon be the main room, whether you can get started or not, I have the final say, I advise you not to offend me!" ”

Long Chuxia said lightly: "Really? Then I can't offend you, it's just that you are still a concubine, I am the sister of your grandmother, you treat me so sarcastically, it seems that I don't necessarily have much respect for Qiu Yujiao in the past, let alone how much friendship I really doubt that Qiu Yuji's sister was killed by you! ”

The second grandmother's face changed, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Long Chuxia smiled slightly: "Laughing, why be nervous!" She looked at the housekeeper and said, "Old man, please lead the way!" ”

The housekeeper was also very dissatisfied with this second grandmother in his heart, and now he was very happy to hear Long Chuxia bury her like this, so he smiled and said, "Okay, girl, please come with the little old man!" ”
