Chapter 079: Human Whispers (9)
Autumn Pattern is still deliberately calling.
I don't know if it's because I have a soul, Ximo really came back from outside. He vaguely heard someone calling him, this person was very similar to the voice of Autumn Pattern, and Ximo couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Before he could reach the cottage, he heard a loud noise.
What happened?
As soon as they stepped forward, Aunt Sun and Yuquan came around, and his mother and son changed their faces again, only saying that they had come to check on the order of the old lady, because the study of the grass house had gone off fire during the day.
Gone off?
Ximo suddenly became nervous. In the crowd, he saw autumn lines. "Akiwen, are you alright?" Autumn pattern is the maid of the study, and the study is on fire, and the safety of autumn pattern is more important.
All his eyes were on Qiu Wen's body, and he didn't blink.
"Does it matter if you want it?"
Ximo was still asking. In front of so many people, as well as Aunt Sun's mother and son, Ximo couldn't care much, and couldn't help but hold Qiuwen's hand.
These are all looked at by Aunt Sun and Yuquan.
The two of them exchanged glances, and they knew each other tacitly.
Qiu Wen was a little anxious, she shook her head again and again: "Uncle, I'm fine." I am responsible for the fire in the study. After all, I'm the girl who guards the study. Thankfully, the words came out of the fire. Fortunately, there was only one piece, but it was badly damaged. Qiu Wen put those calligraphy and paintings in another place, and she was of course a layman when it came to repairs. But Qing'er understands a little. Qing'er told her that there was a framed shop on this Jiangcheng Street, and a master in the shop was good at repairing. Qing'er's words made Qiuwen feel a little relieved. But in the end, we still have to wait for the uncle to come back.
Ximo sighed: "Compared with people, calligraphy and painting are of course worth human lives. ”
He was sure that Qiu Wen was fine, and Fang was relieved.
Qing'er has already come over. Although Qing'er was punished by Ximo, she still did not change her loyal character. He whispered to Ximo: "Uncle, it's amazing today." If you don't come back, the sky will change on our side. Are you really okay with Sister Qiuwen, just a few seconds ago, her elbow was restrained by the person who came with the second master, and Aunt Sun shouted to slap her. ”
Qing'er muttered, and only Ximo heard his words. That Yuquan wanted to get in and listen to what he said, Qing'er threw off his clothes again and took a few steps back, forcing Yuquan to retreat.
Yuquan warned: "Qing'er, you little minion, why don't you stay aside, is there a place for you to speak?" ”
Qing'er didn't dare to reply, but she still made a grimace at Yuquan.
Zhen is a person who refuses to suffer. Now that the uncle has returned, of course she has to tell Ximo everything that happened just now. Shi Ximo is a smart person, looking at this battle, he knows everything in his heart. Aunt Sun is here to find fault. He stared at Zhen's face and saw that her cheeks were red, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were disheveled, and he was suspicious. After a closer look, I found that Zhen's face was swollen, which was very different from usual. No need to ask, she was beaten. Who hit her? Don't think about it, it's Aunt Sun and Yuquan in front of you.
This is too deceitful.
Ximo sank his face: "Mother Zhen, what's the matter with your face?" ”
When Aunt Sun heard this, she hurriedly came over to obstruct her, saying that Zhen's face was stung by a bee, and it would be good to get some ointment to apply it later.
A sneer came out of Zhen's mouth.
"A bee sting? I don't think so. ”
"Ximo, then I'll tell you the truth, your study is on fire today, the old lady is worried, and asked me to come over to find out what's going on. How else can I check? Actually, you don't need to look it up. This Zhen's mother is in charge, even if she is not in the study, but her heart should be tied to the uncle. If she had been vigilant and careful, and had discovered the signs of fire as soon as possible, and brought someone to extinguish the fire, wouldn't there have been nothing to do? Speaking of which, it's all because of her bad headband. Then, there are autumn patterns. She was serving in the study, how could she be careless? But she was fine, I heard that she was still growing vegetables in some garden when the fire broke out. That's not true. People like ours even make the maid find a place to grow vegetables and maintain a livelihood, which is a shame to say! There is silver in this house, but what do you want to buy? Is she so hypocritical to grow vegetables? If she was in the study, how could such a thing happen? So, I was really angry and asked someone to beat Zhen and Qiu Wen. No, I'll still teach Autumn Patterns a lesson, and you'll be back. I'll just say that, Ximo, you should also have a stalk scale in your heart. Should the two of them fight? Although I am my father's side room, I am also your mother-in-law, and you also call me an aunt, which is also half a mother-son relationship. Since I am your elder, I naturally wish that you are good, and if you are good, your brother can also be good. I came to Caolu to be accountable, naturally I care about you. I know that as the saying goes, good medicine is good for disease, and good words are good for deeds. If you don't like to hear it, I can't help it. Truly you are too fond of autumn patterns! A lowly girl, I heard people say, what private school gentleman did you ask to teach her to write, and let her learn what calculations! A maid is a maid, and a pheasant can never become a phoenix. Therefore, I have come today to teach her a lesson. ”
Aunt Sun said this big slip, and when she was excited, the spit flew out.
Yuquan told her mother to shut up and rest for a while.
Aunt Sun was even more excited: "Son, how can I rest." I can't do without me anywhere inside and outside the house. It's a pity that I'm as busy as a spinning top every day, but I can't get anyone's sympathy. It's just someone else, you are my own son, why don't you be considerate of being a mother? ”
Aunt Sun patted her chest and only said that her life was miserable.
Ximo has always known Aunt Sun's character, she is good at acting, and she loves to act in bitter dramas. As long as it is not good for her, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, she is all by her side, and the bad things are all done by others.
"Sister, you don't have to cry. I asked about this today, but the old lady didn't call you at all. In the middle of the crowd, I don't know when there was a person standing. Who? Aunt Wen.
Everyone was taken aback.
Aunt Wen has always been quiet, she doesn't step out of the door, she doesn't do needlework or tailoring, no matter what happens in the house, she never sticks out a head. Today, she actually came out of her own courtyard and helped Ximo speak, which shows Nahan.
Ximo was a surprise.
Aunt Sun won't do it. Seeing that it was Aunt Wen, her tone was even more disdainful: "Why are you here?" Is there a place for you to speak? ”
"Sister, if you can come, I can come too."
Aunt Wen's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
Aunt Sun was even more annoyed: "How can you compare with me?" I have a son, and I'm in charge of the house. You are alone, you dare to sell your face in front of me, and you don't want next month's share? ”
If in the past, Aunt Wen was only submissive, and she would not dare to reply.
But now she's changed.
No one knew that before Mrs. Yu left the house, she quietly found Aunt Wen and talked to her in private. It was with Mrs. Yu's encouragement that Aunt Wen's temperament gradually changed.
We must take the initiative in everything, strive for everything, and it is not possible to be obedient.
Mrs. Yu's words made Aunt Wen sigh again and again in her heart. But she also sighed: If the lady wants to open it, why should she go to the temple instead of moving back to the house?
She didn't dare to ask these words, but she didn't want to live the days of being bullied by Aunt Sun again.
Aunt Wen said lightly: "How can I be alone? I have an old man, and an old lady. I don't want your monthly bill, I took it from the old lady, and you just distributed it for her. The money is not your money, but it is in this house. Listening to your tone, it's as if you have taken the money and power of the entire mansion? ”
Aunt Sun was taken aback.
It's a gourd with a sawed mouth, and she usually dislikes her for not being able to speak, a woman from a small household, who can't see a big scene, is she very good at talking now?
Aunt Sun's family is in tatters, her father is just a little talent, and she is from an aunt, but just because of these, she dares to bully Aunt Wen, who was born in a fishing family. At the beginning, Mrs. Yu was the master and bought her, but Aunt Sun's heart was upset, and every night she dreamed, always dreaming that Mrs. Yu and Aunt Wen were holding sharp daggers and conspiring to kill her. In the face of the old man, and worried that the old lady would see that she wanted to do something wrong, Aunt Sun could only take advantage of Shi Yuan's absence to continue to chant incantations in the room.
"Sister, what you said is not right. In the end, you're in a lower position than I am. Listen to me in all things. You've been obedient for so many years, why can't you continue to be obedient? ”
Aunt Sun is still aggressive.
Her description made no one stand it anymore.
Aunt Wen said, "Why should I listen to you?" Even if you are obedient, you are quite an old lady and a master. ”
"Nonsense! I'll act on behalf of the old lady! If you dare to speak hard, I will beat you! Aunt Sun really raised her hand.
Ximo really can't stand it. He suddenly had an idea.
"Aunt Wen, I heard that your yard is also small and quiet. It's not fun to live alone. If you want, you might as well pack up and move here. Although I am also secluded here, the place is not small in the end, and there are many people. You have come, and you have a care for everything. My mother told me at the beginning, but you don't want to. Now I ask you, would you still like to move here? ”
Aunt Wen is cowardly, but Mrs. and Ximo have always treated her well and have been secretly subsidizing. Aunt Wen kept these in mind. During the New Year's holidays, no, even in normal times, she saved a little bit of silver, made an insole for her wife and sent it to the temple, made a few pairs of shoes and socks for Ximo, and talked about her heart.
Aunt Wen was excited. She was actually willing, she shouldn't before, but she was afraid of disturbing Ximo.
She knows who she is.
A concubine who has no future, she is getting old and old, and she should be conscious of everything.
In her courtyard, there is actually no one to live in. One is shabby, the other is dark. has lived in the past ten years, and her legs and feet are a little unstable. At this moment, Ximo said these heart-warming words, and Aunt Wen was grateful.
