Chapter 16 The Cusp
I still feel inexplicable about Qingwan's sudden temper, so I'm silent. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
Seeing that I didn't speak, she explained to herself: "This Second Lady Xu has long coveted my position as a Marquis for a long time, and the old lady also looks at me unpleasantly and is picky in every way.
Last month, my personal maid came and secretly washed her menstrual belt. was spread to the ears of Mrs. Xu by a mouthy girl, and she suspected that it was a dirty thing I used. Then I found a 'mixed' and unserious doctor to see me, and I took advantage of the maneuver.
In a fit of rage, I had a fetal gas and almost had a miscarriage. Seeing that the situation was not good, the doctor sneaked away by himself. Thanks to the presence of cousin 'Chun' Hua, Xiao Shizi and I were lucky enough to pick up a 'sex' life.
The old lady favored her niece and nephew, and after hearing about this, she not only punished her, but also said that I was pregnant for four or five months, and I had not been pregnant, and I needed to recuperate, and there were too many miscellaneous things in the house, so I was afraid that I would be too tired, so I took the opportunity to deprive the house of the power and 'handed' it to Mrs. Xu to take care of.
After suffering such a grievance, sister, I can't swallow it in one breath, you say, can I still raise the baby well? β
Qingwan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking full of sadness, really aggrieved: "I am alone in this house, and I don't even have a mother's family, and now I finally hope that you are here, but don't be sowing discord by others and taking advantage of it." We are sisters who have broken bones and tendons. β
I didn't expect that my unintentional words would cause Qingwan to sigh a lot, if the public said that the public was reasonable, the mother said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and it was the most difficult to judge the housework.
I hurriedly comforted: "You should relax your heart, don't think nonsense, stay up for three or four months, and when the little son is born, everything will naturally be different." β
Qingwan was sad and earnest, chattering with me again, lowering her posture, no longer looking high.
Later, when he told me about some old people and anecdotes in his mother's house, he was quite nostalgic and embarrassed. I was also infected, and for the first time I felt like a family.
When it was close to noon, Yan San rushed over without knowing how to smell the wind. In front of Qingwan, it was another nonsense 'nonsense', which was unbearable.
Qing Wan not only did not have any sorrow, but persuaded me diligently, leaving me to eat with him, I was unbearable, and mercilessly refused Qing Wan's "kindness", and hurriedly got up to say goodbye and leave.
Out of Qingwan's yard, I finally got rid of the entangled Yan San, I want to visit Brother Lin to see how his injuries are recovering. This is what I got permission from the old lady, and I inquired with Lan'er all the way to Brother Lin's guest room.
Brother Lin's guest room has been rearranged, just in the front yard, not far from the main 'gate', the furnishings are also 'fine', easy to enter and exit.
Brother Lin seems to have just come back from going out, with a slight smell of alcohol on his body, and he is quite happy to see me.
I checked his wound and it has been recovering well and healing completely.
After I washed him, I gave him the last 'medicine', telling him that these days are the time to grow new 'meat', and that the diet should still avoid spicy and prickly 'exciting' food, and not to drink alcohol, and he laughed and responded one by one.
Brother Lin said: "Qingwu, I just came back from the street, do you know what everyone is talking about the most in the teahouse and wine shop now?" β
I shook my head: "I just entered Beijing, and I haven't even gone out of the big 'gate' of the Hou Ye's Mansion, where would I know, you don't want to sell Guanzi, but what's interesting?" β
Brother Lin nodded: "It's not very interesting, it's just quite rare, so the whole capital is a sensation." β
Brother Lin looked at me with interest, which made me feel uncomfortable: "What are you looking at me like this, can't I know this person?" β|
"It's not just acquaintance," Brother Lin said: "The whole capital is spreading, saying that as soon as the eleventh lady of the Su family, the richest man in Jiangnan, entered Beijing, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the Qiwang Mansion couldn't hold back, and successively went to the 'door' with a dowry to ask for marriage." β
"Poof, what...... What the? I asked, surprised, my eyes widening involuntarily.
Brother Lin seemed very happy to see my unbelievable appearance, and a hint of urgency flashed on his face:
"This is not outrageous, there are rumors that the prince of Qi has never been close to the 'woman' and 'sex', and he has the good of Longyang, and he has always had an ambiguous relationship with the world's first god catching crazy stones. Now that the mad stone can't withstand the coercion of the Hou Ye at home, he decided to marry a wife and have children, and lost the Qi Wangye.
The prince of Qi hated because of love, and when he was angry at the crown, he 'inserted' a kick horizontally, thinking that if he asked to marry Miss Eleven and broke the idea of the crazy stone, maybe he would change his mind.
Some people also say that this Qi Wang Ye and Crazy Stone are the two gentlemen in Beijing, and the rankings have been in no particular order, and the two have been secretly competing, so they have set up a gambling game on a whim to see who is more attractive in the eyes of the 'woman'.
There are more good deeds, saying that as soon as you enter Beijing, the prince of Qi will throw down the government and personally go to the city 'gate' to greet you, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in order to compete for you, in the city 'gate' mouth of the fight, alarmed a team of royal forest army, almost into the Dali Temple. You are in a dilemma and don't know how to choose, so you live in the Hou Ye's Mansion temporarily.
Nowadays, there are different opinions on the street, everyone speculates all kinds of stories, and deduces all kinds of almost absurd stories, but there is no doubt that you have become the focus of various topics, and you are already on the cusp of the 'wave'. β
Before Brother Lin finished speaking, he couldn't suppress his laughter, and I was already "rubbing" out in a cold sweat, but I didn't expect that even a small joke at the entrance of the city 'gate' was actually caught by people and preached with oil and vinegar.
If it is a disaster to the country and the people, it is better to choose a beautiful reputation, and the most afraid is that it is the water 'sex' Yang 'flower', and the infamy of hooking up with three or four.
"How could the matter be so lively, are the people in this capital so good at judging right and wrong?" I couldn't help but whine.
"That Qi Wang Ye and Crazy Stone were originally the most influential figures in the capital, and their every move was watched by thousands of people, and they were the wishful thinking of the young 'women' in the boudoir. Yesterday, the news spread far and wide, and I don't know how many 'women' hearts will be broken.
Qingwu, it is estimated that you have made a lot of enemies this time, and someone will soon find the 'door'. Be careful when entering and exiting the room, and if you go out, remember to notify me. β
I slapped myself on the forehead twice, and I was still complacent about supporting me yesterday, but I didn't expect that today, the situation will take a turn for the worse.
It is not a good thing to offend ten gentlemen rather than provoke a single 'woman', let alone a young 'woman' to be married in the capital, and I can almost foresee that I will die a miserable death.
"But ......," Brother Lin said in a deep voice: "There are still a lot of rumors about you in Beijing, all of which are nonsense and 'messy' things, I don't know if it's because someone is jealous, so they deliberately spread rumors, but it's certain that someone is pushing the 'waves' behind the scenes, and it spreads very quickly." β
I looked up at the sky speechlessly, and I really wanted to go home and ask my father if I had read the wrong yellow calendar when I went out, how could everything not go well as soon as I set out, and cause so many incidents as soon as I entered the capital.
Presumably, Mother Crazy Stone and King Qi should also have good intentions, but they didn't expect that things would evolve like this.
The capital is really a place of right and wrong.
After a few words of greeting with Brother Lin, I got up to say goodbye, and Brother Lin sent me out of the yard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, I happened to meet a 'waiter' of the Hou Mansion, hurriedly walked over from the 'door', saw me, paused, turned back, and saluted: "May I ask if you are the eleventh lady of the Su family?" β
I nodded inexplicably: "Exactly." β
The 'squire' guard let out a sigh of relief and said, "I was about to go to the inner house to report to Mrs. that now that you are here, I don't have to run 'errands'." β
"What's the matter?" I glanced at Brother Lin and said.
The 'waiter' looked helpless: "This morning, two people named 'Hua' came from outside the house, like a pair of mothers and 'daughters', claiming to be Mrs.'s aunt and sister-in-law, and they had to break into the house to find Mrs. Hou.
The little ones saw that they were ragged and dirty, and the same girl, you were heaven and earth, and knew that they must have come to pretend to be relatives to fight the autumn wind, so they stopped them outside the house.
They were very arrogant, not only refused to leave, but also scolded, blocked in front of the 'door' of the Hou Mansion, crying and tossing for a long time.
Seeing that it was almost noon on this day, Hou Ye quickly returned home. We were worried that they would alarm the Hou Ye again, so we thought about asking Mrs. to show us, whether to send the two copper plates, or to beat them out with a 'messy' stick? β
"Aunt Seven! How did she come to the capital? "I was taken aback, and that was the first thought. Because listening to the servant's description, the party committee really looks like her. But Yangzhou City is far away from the capital, how she came here, and how she never heard her father talk about it.
Brother Lin's face also changed, since Aunt Seventh is here, then Qingyin must also follow, Brother Lin is afraid of being obsessed.
"Are they still at the 'gate' of the house?" I asked out loud.
The servant nodded: "They've been tossing for more than an hour." The more you fight, the more courageous you are, so you won't compromise easily. β
I sighed and said, "I'll go with you." β
The 'squire' nodded hurriedly, turned around and led the way. Brother Lin and I followed behind.
Before he approached the big 'gate', he heard a commotion at the entrance of the 'gate', mixed with the hoarse but high-pitched scolding of the 'woman'.
"You dogs look down on people, you don't let the old lady and me in today, I tell you, when I see my 'daughter', Mrs. Hou, naturally you have good fruit to eat, so that you can't finish eating, go around, if you don't believe it, you just wait and see."
Getting closer, sure enough, there were two 'women' standing with their waists crossed at the 'gate' of the house, and the older 'woman' was even more exaggerated, pointing to a few 'guards' guarding the 'door' in the house, and scolding arrogantly. With a dirty face and tattered clothes, I carefully identified my eyebrows and eyes, but it was Aunt Seven!
I was scared for a while, how could she be reduced to such a state, could it be that after I left home, something happened to the Su family?
