Chapter 077: Human Whispers (7)
After the last search, there was resentment in the hearts of the people of the Fuzhong family.
The family can't gamble and drink, can't steal and take the kidnapping, and has no channels to make money, although they can't see anything on their faces, they are slacking off in their work.
After Aunt Sun came back, in order to please the old lady, she was even more harsh, and if she made a small mistake, she would be fined and beaten, and everyone would be in danger.
On this day, a fire broke out in the grass house, and the fire started strangely.
When the fire broke out, Shi Ximo was outside. The grass hut did not start a fire everywhere, but the fire was started from the study. At the time of the fire, Akimon was tending to a vegetable field nearby. She smelled the smell of burning, and saw the smoke in the study of the grass house, so she put down the basket and rushed back.
It's a lunch break.
The people were resting in their respective ear rooms, and when they heard the fire, they all hurried over, big guy, you take a bucket, I take a spoon, and rush over to put out the fire.
Autumn Pattern was terrified.
The fire started in the study, which had two rooms. The outside room is the uncle's hospitality, and inside is the uncle's stack of books. If those books are burned, the loss is not small.
Autumn Pattern can imagine the appearance of the uncle in a hurry.
She rushed into the flames without hesitation. Zhen hurriedly grabbed her and told her not to go in.
Autumn Pattern shook her head.
"Books are only books, and there is only one life. You've figured it out. ”
"Mom, in my opinion, my uncle's book is more precious than my life. Now the study is on fire, and it's my fault. I'm responsible. ”
Autumn Moon carried a bucket of water and really rushed into the smoke.
Zhen couldn't pull it, and even asked people to hurry up and hydrate. Be sure to put out the fire in the study today.
Fortunately, when Ximo built the study, the fireproof tile material used was not wood or flammable material. Those books were all stored in the same bookcase by Autumn Pattern. The bookcase is not made of wood, but the outer skin is wrapped in tin foil, which is not perishable and insect resistant. This is also recommended by Akimosa. I don't want to really come in handy now.
Books are fine, but the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are in the way.
There are not many calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and there are still five or six of them. Ximo treats these calligraphy and paintings on weekdays and cherishes them. Qiu Wen didn't care about anything, chair after chair, stool after stool, unloaded the calligraphy and paintings on the wall one by one as quickly as possible, sandwiched them in his elbows, lowered his head, and rushed out towards the door.
The big guys are watering on the side, both orderly and chaotic.
I don't know who it was, I didn't move the chair properly, the chair smashed into Qiu Wen's feet, she screamed, jumped on her feet, and Zhen grabbed her.
Her expression when she looked at Autumn Pattern completely changed.
There are also dozens of subordinates in this grass house, and at the critical moment, no one is as bold as Qiu Wen. She really let it go, and she didn't care about her life.
Qiu Wen endured the pain, looked at the painting scroll in his hand, and blamed himself: "There is still a pair that has been smoked." ”
Qing'er took the painting and said, "My good sister, if it weren't for you today, these paintings of the uncle would have turned into ashes." ”
And they all worked together to put out the fire.
This morning, it took a lot of effort, everyone looked at my wet skirt, I looked at your cold clothes, and my heart swelled with more doubts. It's not spring yet, so how can it catch fire?
And still in the study.
The study is taken care of by autumn patterns. She's a delicate person and wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Besides, she has been combing in the vegetable field. That's weird. No one in the grass house would do such a dirty thing, who wants to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot? They work in the grass house, and they get the uncle's monthly money, who wants to offend the master without anything?
Besides, the uncle took them a lot.
Neither the person in the grass house, nor the accident, then someone deliberately set the fire?
The old lady also found out, and was furious. ordered a grandmother next to her to ask someone to tie up all the subordinates of the grass house for interrogation. That Aunt Sun took the chicken feathers as arrows, and rushed towards the grass house with a group of people. The people who followed her either brought ropes, or took sticks, and other things, just like in the play, and each stood on the side, letting Aunt Sun, who was full of pearls, sing the leading role.
There is one more person who is proud here. Who? Second Master Yuquan.
This fire is none other than Yuquan's order. The person who set the fire was Pan Niangzi's brother. He followed a groom to the stable to get something, remembered the second master's instructions, took advantage of the groom's unpreparedness, sneaked to the uncle's study, and threw something on the window of the study.
This thing sees the sun, and it takes a full two cups of tea before it spontaneously combusts.
This gave evidence of Pan Niangzi's brother's alibi.
Yuquan was very happy when he learned that the study of Caolu was on fire, and patted his thigh while wanting to reward Pan Fu. "You've done a good job of doing this today. Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, but you haven't let me down. ”
Pan Fu gritted his teeth, flattered on the one hand, and said on the other: "Even if the second master instructs the small one, the small one will definitely use a way to make the grass house unstable." ”
Not to mention anything else, for the sake of his sister and nephew's daughter, Pan Fu also has to take revenge.
This Yuquan followed behind Aunt Sun and also came over in a big way. Aunt Sun told her son to go back.
"Mother, how can my son go? In the end, something happened to the eldest brother's house, and I, who is a younger brother, really feel so distressed! ”
Aunt Sun knew that her son was gloating, so she couldn't help laughing: "Look at you, it's just a little fire, and you are so worried about him." It's a pity that it's afternoon, and your big brother is only interested in having fun outside, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all. You, who are younger brothers, will worry about it in vain. ”
Aunt Sun was happy.
In the end, after the fire, the grass and the ground were all wet, and it looked like a mess.
She just wants to see Shi Ximo's jokes. This Shi Yuan's eldest son, Shi Fu's sister-in-law, has been a thorn in Aunt Sun's heart for many years.
Although she is in charge of the house, Aunt Sun has not been able to pull out this thorn.
She also secretly hated herself.
Hates his origin, hates his unsuccessful father.
Hate to hate, but sympathetic to the affairs of her mother's family, Aunt Sun continued to do it.
It seems that today we can make a big deal about it. Didn't the study catch fire? Isn't it all because of the negligence of the subordinates? Then take advantage of this to drive most of the people in the grass house. No, it's two-thirds of the way away. That's right, the expenses of the grass house are not under her control. But she wants to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so that the people are frightened.
There are fewer people in the grass house, and it seems more lonely and depressed. She wants to let Shi Ximo's life in the mansion be a mess. Aunt Sun is not short of brains. Before coming to the cottage, he had asked someone to deliberately spread the word out and spread it to the street, saying that the eldest prince of the Shifu was willing to degenerate, neither read nor seek fame, and was confused, so that the study was burned by a fire, which is the appearance of a loser! The eldest son of the Shi family behaved like this, firstly, because he was not angry, and secondly, because he did not have a mother by his side to control him. His own mother didn't die, she just let her good wife go, and she went to some Laoshzi monastery to be a layman who didn't shave her head! The mother and son are so out of tune, but it is a pity that this Shifu is going to be defeated in the hands of these two people, how can it not make people feel anxious?
This time, Aunt Sun came to the cottage, and those words were already broadcast on the street.
Aunt Sun knows that it can't be hard, so she likes to play with these yin. This year, when the birthdays of Mrs. Yu and Ximo arrived, they even used the little people in the room to do tricks, cursing their mother and son to die early.
None of these are the most ruthless.
Aunt Sun's vicious behavior is still to come.
Aunt Sun took the old lady's arrow and scolded the subordinates in the cottage one by one. She even wants to find out a girl named Qiuwen.
For such a long time, Aunt Sun has never seen Qiu Wen, and I don't know what she looks like. It's just that I heard that this girl is capable, good-looking, and scheming.
"Who's called Akimo?" Aunt Sun looked around.
Zhen was dissatisfied with Aunt Sun's behavior, so he stepped forward and said, "Auntie, this is a grass house. The old lady also spoke before, and the affairs in the uncle's house are controlled by the uncle himself. Auntie, let's go back and rest. ”
Aunt Sun sneered: "I know that you are the old lady's dog leg, and you are also Qilan's henchman." It's just that you don't know yet, right? Now Qilan's old lady doesn't like to see her very much, and she won't let her do some decent work and some face-revealing things. You are just a subordinate, and our historian is like a beggar. You're just a little boss, so where is there a place for you to interject? ”
Zhen couldn't hear it.
My aunt was also joking. Don't say how Qilan is, even if I don't have her, I'll only do my thing. Once upon a time, I served an old lady, so I was an old lady in my heart. Further afield, I used to serve the Liu family. Now I have an uncle in my heart. I serve my uncle, why am I like a beggar? ”
Aunt Sun was stunned. She always knew that Zhen was a little weird, so she mocked: "How can you not be a beggar?" If it weren't for our historians, wouldn't you be asking for food on the street now? ”
Zhen sneered: "Auntie laughed at this." Even if I get help from the Shi family, I have nothing to do with my aunt. ”
"Mrs. Zhen, how do you speak? Why does it have nothing to do with me? ”
"I mean, I'm as comfortable as I am today because of the old lady, the old man, the lady, and the uncle. They are the masters of the house. As for your aunt, you're just a concubine. Speaking of which, it is a little more noble than a minion. But in the end, he is not a righteous person in this house. ”
It's also a loss for Zhen to dare to say.
She has been in turmoil for half her life, and she still can't bear the loss of her mouth, and she has to fight back against everything. Saying these words, Zhen had already thought of a way out, and when the old lady asked, she left with her baggage and stopped doing it. No, before leaving, you have to wait for the uncle to come back, in the end, the uncle is a good uncle.
When Aunt Sun heard her words, she was already trembling with anger.
"You stinky woman who doesn't grow old and don't die! Why am I not a righteous man in this house? It's up to me...... Give birth to a good son to the master! If I am not a righteous person, how can the old lady ask me to take care of the house? ”
"I heard that the previous prime minister of Tianyun Kingdom's family was in charge of a maid, what is this!"
Zhen made it clear that he would not give Aunt Sun face.
Yuquan was beside him, rubbing his hands, so he called the two little guys to step forward, one left and one right, to restrain Zhen, and with a wave of his big hand, he shook Zhen's mouth.
