Chapter 64: Chased by a Dog
Zhiwan frowned, she heard Poria say that when they left, they only took away the dowry that Hou Ye gave her, and they didn't bring any jewelry in the house, how could they go to Aunt Mei's mouth and take it away?
Zhiwan's kneeling knees hurt, her brows were furrowed, Poria knelt behind, shaking her body timidly, pursing her lips tightly, she wanted to beg for mercy, but she had nothing to say, but Dingyuan Hou frowned, raised his hand and said, "I have to get on the sedan chair the day after tomorrow, so don't kneel." ”
Poria helped Zhiwan to get up very quickly, Zhiwan looked at the blood marks on her knees, and pulled the hem of her skirt, if the wound and clothes were glued for a while, she would be more painful.
There was a manager next to him who came in, holding a painting in his hand, Dingyuan Hou took it and looked at it, and threw it directly to the Qian family, "This is the portrait painted by the mansion for Zhiwan and sent to the palace for the draft?!" ”
Dingyuan Hou's eyes were cold, Qian's back was cold, he took the scroll and looked at it, and glanced at Qin Zhiwei, Qin Zhiyu shrunk her neck, she painted it, but the portrait sent to the palace, how could my father see it, and he was angry with her!
Marquis Dingyuan slapped the table, "Don't you know how many big and small disasters King Yuejun has caused over the years, and how many people he has offended in the palace?!" Sending such a portrait into the palace, isn't it pushing Zhiwan into the fire pit?! ”
The old lady sat aside, looking at Qian's eyes and cold, it turned out that the initiator was still their mother and daughter, it was really a pig's brain, the ugly point of the painting was eliminated, and it was sent to the palace like this!
Qin Zhiyu said aggrievedly on the side, "I was kind enough to dress up for the fourth sister, she was also there for the fifth sister at that time, and she picked the peony, at that time, the fourth sister herself also felt beautiful, and the third sister and the second sister could testify." ”
Zhiwan pulled the corners of her mouth, did her vision be so bad before, she still felt beautiful like this, this is the dress of a clown who jumps off the beam, and she won't look good if she has eyes. Zhiwan glanced at Qin Zhishu, she was a little skeptical, was she her sister, who was bullied by her sister-in-law like this. She also fell into the ground.
The second girl, Qin Zhirou, was born by the second master and was not in the house, the third girl, Qin Zhirou, stood up and nodded, "Dad, what the sixth sister said is true, the fourth sister really liked to dress up like this at that time." ”
Dingyuan Hou glanced at Zhiwan, Zhiwan could say anything, she didn't remember the situation at that time, even if she tried her best to say no, but it couldn't be worth everyone's money. The more Hou Ye favored her, the easier it was to arouse public anger, and Zhiwan simply didn't say anything.
Aunt Lan smiled, "Don't mention the past, it's good that the fourth girl is back." It's her big day later, and I don't know where she came back, so let's go back and rest. ”
When Aunt Lan said this, Qian frowned, her eyes lit up when she remembered something, and she leaned into the old lady's ear and muttered, and the old lady's eyes froze. Stared at Zhiwan Dao, "In the past year, have you ruined the reputation of the Hou Mansion?" ”
Zhiwan was stunned, knowing that the old lady asked her if she was innocent, Zhiwan understood whether she was using the Hou Mansion to oppress people, Zhiwan shook her head. "Zhiwan didn't do anything with the Hou Mansion outside."
Poria said quickly, "The girl is outside, everyone thinks she is the village girl, but she just went to pick up the Hou Ye back, so she wore this dress." ”
This is a change of direction that refutes what Qian said before. It's just that the name of the village aunt surprised everyone in the house, Qin Zhiyu smiled and said, "Not long ago, there was the first village aunt of the Dayue Dynasty, and I didn't expect that the fourth sister you are also a village aunt outside." ”
Poria swallowed her throat and wanted to say that Zhiwan was the first village aunt in Dayue, but she couldn't bear it, this matter was too big, and her mother told her not to mention it, Poria lowered her head and stopped talking.
Qian's family doesn't care what village aunt is not a village girl, she is happy to suffer outside at night, "Although it is still a variable whether you can marry into the Zhennan Wangfu, but you have been out for a year, and everyone in the mansion knows that the outside world is easy to tempt people, and no one knows what you have done, in order to prove your innocence, let Mama check it for a while, so that the people of the Hou Mansion can settle down." ”
Zhiwan's face was flushed, and she was ashamed and wanted to find a hole to get into, but Poria was anxious, knelt down and said, "Mrs. rest assured, the girl is going out with my mother, and my mother is also afraid that the girl will make a mistake, and she is ashamed of the teaching of Mrs. and aunt, insulting the reputation of the Hou Mansion, and she ordered cinnabar for the girl early. ”
Qian twisted his eyebrows, Qin Zhiyu couldn't wait to stroke Zhiwan's cloud sleeves, looking at the red, Qin Zhiwei's eyes almost popped out, "There really is!" ”
Qin Zhishu also came to take a look, full of disbelief, Zhiwan looked at the expressions of the two, and a trace of wonder flashed in his heart, why were they so surprised, didn't no one know about her pregnancy, why did the two of them seem to be sure that she was not a perfect body, as if there was no cinnabar?
Aunt Mei hurriedly said, "Madam, although the fourth girl escaped from marriage, our mansion also secretly sent someone to find her, but outsiders thought that the Hou Mansion hid her, so how could the fourth girl do such a thing?" The four girls are strict with themselves, and they are all taught well by their wives. ”
With cinnabar as evidence, who can still suspect that he knows what is late, if he is not perfect, he can't point cinnabar, everyone knows, plus Aunt Mei Fengcheng her in front of the Hou Ye, and the Qian family has nothing to say.
Zhiwan rubbed her knees, Dingyuan Hou let Poria help her down to rest, before leaving, the old lady was angry, and said, "If you can marry safely, if the sedan chair is carried back, then the new account and the old account will be counted together!" ”
Zhiwan didn't like this old lady, so she turned around and knelt down directly, biting her lip and looking at Dingyuan Hou, "Dad, my daughter knows that it is wrong to escape from marriage, and she is worried about the whole house, and her daughter deserves to be punished. ”
Don't punish now, don't punish me later, I'm not a persimmon, you are allowed to hang it aside when it's hard, and then pinch it when it's soft, in fact, Zhiwan is very annoyed, if it weren't for Qian's plan, persuaded the palace people to change their minds, no matter how much this family matter can't be her turn, she is pregnant and escaped at most, Hou Fu said that she will be fine if she dies violently, and she will be punished for such a scene!
Seeing that they were unmoved, Zhiwan directly picked up the broken teacup on the ground and put it against his neck, "My daughter deserves to die, as long as my daughter is dead, I don't have to marry...... ”
Zhiwan said, and wiped it on her neck, Poria hurriedly came over and grabbed Zhiwan's hand, Qin Zhiwan was anxious, and pulled Qian's hand and said, "Mother." If she dies, I will have to marry her, mother, I will not marry. I won't marry even if I die! ”
Qian Shi was trembling angrily, where did she not know that Zhiwan was deliberate, forcing her to loosen her mouth, forcing her to plead with the old lady to spare her, she thought that this would be the case, in the inner courtyard, she wanted to punish her There is a way!
Qian looked at the old lady, "Mother, whether she marries the king of Chengyue County or not, forget about the marriage escape, right?" ”
The old lady looked at Qian. frowned slightly, closed his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Carry the sedan chair back and copy two hundred family rules!" ”
After speaking. Helped back to the inner room by Zhou's mother, Zhiwan hurriedly thanked her, and Aunt Mei on the side came over to help her up, "My knee hurts, and my aunt will give you medicine in a while." ”
Zhiwan called out to her aunt, and was helped out of the door by Poria and walked halfway down. Yao's mother came, saw Zhiwan's knee, and hurriedly asked why she was injured, Poria told her about the things in the house, and when she heard Aunt Mei kicking the tea cup, Yao's mother gritted her teeth a little. Zhiwan was even more puzzled when she watched it, why didn't Yao's mother have much respect for Aunt Mei?
Sandalwood Courtyard, Zhiwan's residence, has a beautiful environment, and Qin Zhishu lives in the Lanxiang Courtyard. At the gate of the courtyard, Zhiwan saw a maid dressed as a woman, with tears on her face, looking at her earnestly.
Poria was shocked, "Bai Shao, when did you get married?!" ”
Bai Shao's tears couldn't hold back any longer, slipped down from her fair face, knelt down to say hello to Zhiwan, and gave Yao's mother a salute, Yao's mother regretted a little, "You should have gone with me at the beginning, you were reluctant to your mother, your eldest brother, but they were willing to let you, those black-hearted people, push you into the fire pit!" ”
Bai Shao's eyes were red, Poria hurriedly asked what was wrong, and only after asking did she know that Bai Shao got married half a year ago, and was married to a sick husband by her mother and wife, which is considered to be a joy, but unfortunately, before entering the cave room, the husband died, when Yao's mother asked her, she was reluctant to her family, Yao's mother in order to avoid suspicion for her, two days before leaving, she also belittled her from a first-class maid to a third-class maid, and secretly gave her ten taels of silver as compensation, but I didn't expect it to happen.
The married daughter-in-law can no longer be a big maid, Bai Shao is a cleaning woman in the yard, and these days she is looking forward to the return of Zhiwan and Yao's mother.
Poria listened sadly, she lived a comfortable life outside, she didn't expect Bai Peony to suffer so much in the house, she and Bai Peony and Zhiwan grew up together, Bai Peony's mother has been patriarchal since she was a child, and her eldest brother can eat it, once snatched the meat in the white peony bowl and was seen by Poria Cocos, Poria helped her scold her eldest brother once, but two days later she found that Bai Peony had bruises on her arms, Poria begged Yao's mother for two whole days, and Yao's mother found a way to bring Bai Peony to the yard, and it has been eight years now.
Such a ruthless mother, Bai Shao was willing to follow, Poria scolded her fiercely, and asked, "Then what will you do in the future?" ”
Bai Shao shook her head, she didn't know, Yao's mother helped Zhiwan to go back to the house to rest, Bai Shao was sweeping the floor in the yard, Poria took the medicine to Zhiwan, and couldn't help asking, "Bai Shao doesn't have a round house, can't she be a big girl again?" ”
Yao's mother shook her head and sighed, "That's what I said, but after all, I am married, and when I have a little master in the future, I can let her take care of it, and I can rest assured, since she is still in the yard, she is still the girl's maid, and she should follow the marriage, and I will go to see who follows the girl to marry in a while." ”
Outside, Qin Zhishu came in, holding a bottle of ointment in her hand, and smiled affectionately, "Fourth sister, this was given to me by my father some time ago, and I didn't want to use it, so I gave it to you." ”
Zhiwan raised the ointment in his hand, thanked him first, and then said, "I have applied the ointment, so I won't use it first." ”
Qin Zhishu put the bottle down and didn't speak, but Yao's mother asked, "The fourth girl has been out for a long time, and I don't know who has come in this house, why the jewelry in the fourth girl's dressing box is all gone, Poria, go outside and ask, is it a thief, I made a list before leaving, what is missing, I will go to tell the Hou Ye in a while." ”
Qin Zhishu's eyes suddenly dodged a little, but he calmed down in an instant, "Didn't the fourth sister leave the house with jewelry?" ”
Before Zhiwan could speak, Yao's mother smiled first, "The fourth girl brought a few clothes, but she didn't bring a piece of jewelry, before leaving, the girl also planned to give the red jade coral hairpin to the fifth girl, and after a while, she found it, and then sent it to the fifth girl." ”
Zhiwan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and glanced at Qin Zhishu's bun, there happened to be a red jade coral hairpin on it, Zhiwan admired Yao's mother a little, not to say that Qin Zhishu took it, and decided that it was a maid, and when the time came, the maid said who it was, and her face was not good-looking. Sure enough, Qin Zhishu's face sank, twisted the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and said to Yao's mother. "Mother Yao, let's check, it's a big deal to lose something, I want to say a few words to the fourth sister."
Yao's mother told her that Poria was also instructed by her to go out, and as soon as they left, Qin Zhishu took off the red jade coral hairpin on her head and slapped it on the table, which suddenly became two, "What if I took your jewelry, you are comfortable to escape from marriage." Have you ever thought that we are sisters, you are gone, who is unlucky, my wife forced me to get on the sedan chair, and I didn't marry the king of Yuejun. It's good for you, come back outside in style, just let Yao's mother be mean to me, not just a few hairpins, I will return you, how can I count the matter of marrying you before?! ”
Zhiwan was ashamed of running away from the marriage, and Zhiwan recognized it. But it wasn't her who forced her to get on the sedan chair, it was his wife, Zhiwan looked at Qin Zhishu, "What did the fifth sister say?" ”
Qin Zhishu looked at Zhiwan, and didn't know what to say for a while, how to calculate. How can you calculate, how many things are in your hand, and your aunt and her, even your wife, know in their hearts, let her lose money. She also had to take it out, Qin Zhishu looked at the red jade coral hairpin on the table, and there was a throbbing pain in her heart, so she used a little more force, and broke the hairpin, Qin Zhishu gritted her teeth, "Mrs. forced me to marry on your behalf, how many grievances have I suffered, I will come to you to get a hairpin when I cry, you pay me tears, I will pay you back the hairpin, let's clear this matter!" ”
Zhiwan was speechless, you took the jewelry and said it directly, and cried once to get one, she took the hairpin, and the guilt in her heart disappeared, "I won't pursue the hairpin." ”
Qin Zhishu breathed a sigh of relief, if she really pursued it, she wouldn't have returned the hairpins, everyone knew those hairpins, she didn't dare to wear them at all, so she let the maid secretly take them out and sell them, and replaced them with silver to buy new jewelry.
Qin Zhishu looked at Zhiwan's knee, reached out and pulled her arm, looked at it carefully, wiped the cinnabar with a handkerchief, and frowned, "Are you really still perfect?" ”
Zhiwan twisted her eyebrows and looked at Qin Zhishu, "Otherwise?" If I had a husband outside, would I ever come back and get married? ”
Qin Zhishu still didn't believe it, wiped and wiped, Zhiwan's arms were wiped red, Qin Zhishu threw the embroidered handkerchief, and said angrily, "My aunt and I were really deceived by her!" I'm! ”
Zhiwan wondered, "Who lied to you and your aunt?" ”
Qin Zhishu didn't have a good breath, "Who else, have you forgotten, a year ago in the Reclining Buddha Temple, weren't you chased by a dog, and you were almost bitten by a dog, fell down, and your clothes were not neat?" The sixth sister said that you lost your body, and when you came back that day, I wanted to check on you, but I didn't expect the queen to order the sixth sister to enter the palace to be a show girl, so the matter stopped. ”
Chased by a dog at Wat Pho? Zhiwan's face was full of black lines, and when she heard the word *, her brows frowned, and she listened to Qin Zhishu continue, "Later, the sixth sister was pointed out to be a side concubine to the king of Yuejun, she didn't want to marry, so my wife entered the palace, let you marry instead, you ran away from marriage, and I don't want to marry for you, do you know how she threatened me, she said that you ran away because you are not innocent, she took an aphrodisiac in my teacup in the Reclining Buddha Temple that day, and you drank it!" This matter came out, my aunt was the first to die, and I married you for me, but I didn't expect her to lie to me! ”
Thinking about it, Qin Zhishu gritted her teeth angrily, it was strange that she was in a good mood when she was calculated, she knew that she was in a good mood, and it was the Reclining Buddha Temple, she drank aphrodisiac, and the time was right, was she not volunteering, but because she was hit with an aphrodisiac, and her father detoxified her before she died? But it's just detoxification, how can you die? I can't figure it out.
The more Qin Zhishu thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally simply left, as soon as she left, Poria came, and Zhiwan asked, "I was chased by a dog in the Reclining Buddha Temple that day?" ”
Poria nodded again and again, looked outside and said, "The girl is not dressed and cries to my mother, my mother can't help it, there happened to be a dog at that time, my mother threw it with a stone, and it ran after the girl, and the girl's clothes were untidy." ”
"......." ”
"At Wat Pho, how can I drink the tea of the five girls?"
Poria was stunned for a long time and didn't understand, how could the girl drink the tea of the fifth girl, she didn't have a long hand and couldn't pour, Poria shook her head, "No, the tea that the girl drinks is poured by the slave, how can she drink the tea of the fifth girl?" ”
Didn't you? Then why did Qin Zhishu say categorically, there is Shougong Sha, she doesn't need to lie to her by saying that, besides, today in the old lady's house, the expressions of the two are not fake, Zhiwan doesn't understand, but Poria sighed, "The slave remembered, once, the girl was about to drink tea, the fifth girl suddenly got up, accidentally knocked over the girl's tea, and almost burned her hands, the fifth girl gave her tea to the girl to drink in order to make amends, and the sixth girl still stopped, the fifth girl said that the girl didn't drink it because she didn't forgive her, The slave knows this time. ”
Zhiwan hurriedly asked, "Is it at Wat Pho?" ”
"No, it's in the house, that time the girl had a stomachache all night, and the slave still remembers that the Hou Ye was going to take the girl to the queen's birthday banquet, which was the time when the prince of the county sent the pig, but because of the stomach pain all night, her face was pale and she didn't go to ......."
"......." ”
Zhiwan held his forehead, his braincase hurt a little, what was the situation, how to make people depressed without memory, Poria took gauze, Zhiwan didn't pick it up, this injury didn't need to be wrapped in gauze, there was footsteps outside, Zhiwan raised his eyes, and saw Aunt Mei come in.
