Chapter 107: Mother-in-law Looks at Son-in-law

It's just that Aunt Seventh has always been unhappy with others, she neglected to discipline Qingyin, and after being called to her by her grandmother and reprimanded her fiercely, she actually held a grudge against me, blaming me for provoking indiscriminate people into the house and affecting her daughter.

She spread rumors about me and Crazy Stone all over the house, and scolded Sang Huai in front of Aunt Jiu without any scruples, and sneered at me.

Aunt Jiu was originally afraid that after I entered Beijing, I would have to live in the Mansion of the Marquis of Qingwan, so I tolerated her in every way. But in the face of her inch, he finally couldn't get angry and quarreled with her. Bisheng scolded the street, but Aunt Nine was not an opponent, and she didn't get it cheap, but she was angry.

Aunt Seventh assassinated Aunt Nine back then, and the old accounts that led to my premature birth have not yet been settled, and now I have nothing to do with it again, if I give up easily, it will not be me Su Qingwen.

It's just that the seventh aunt has the daughter of the Hou Yefu as a backer behind her, even if she secretly plotted against her grandmother's favorite Qingqing, in the end, she didn't stop the matter after a few strokes of the cane, and she would be raised for a while, but she was still arrogant and domineering, and others were helpless.

The seventh aunt is also well-behaved enough, but she is greedy for cheapness in her mouth, and she doesn't do anything particularly out of the ordinary, she hates it so much that her teeth itch, so she goes to her grandmother to sue her, and it seems that you are calculating and narrow-minded.

Crazy Stone said: "She is also noisy, and she doesn't keep her mouth shut, so you just let her shut up." ”

This man is really bad, but the idea is pretty good.

Aunt Seven pays attention to maintenance, usually likes to drink some conditioning bitter decoction, while people are not prepared, a dose of medicine sneaks down, she numbs her tongue, and really obediently closes her mouth, and can only make a rough voice of "ahhh

I heard that I invited a doctor from inside and outside the house to see a doctor, saying that the anger was too strong, and I lost my voice for a while, and I prescribed a few doses of the bitter decoction of Yellow Lotus Forsythia to drink it, but it still did not improve. I was embarrassed to beg me with a shy face, but I found a small sample in private, and rewarded me with a silver bill, and asked her to help see if she had hit the evil again.

Xiao Er naturally knew that she was just chewing the root of her tongue everywhere, but she sent it to the door herself. As soon as he frowned, the bad water in his stomach began to churn.

Xiao Xiao asked me for a pill of antidote, carefully ground it, mixed it with mustard ointment, and told Aunt Seven seriously, I am afraid that she is good at judging people's rights and wrongs, and her tongue was blown by the evil wind, and she was hit by the cold air of "rapping". You must wait until the sun rises and the cold fades at night, stand in the sun, stick your tongue out, apply ointment, and expose yourself to the sun for a few days.

Aunt Seven was originally skeptical of Xiao Xiang'er's words, and felt that she had never heard of her words. I tried it secretly once, and I felt that my tongue was a lot more flexible, so I believed it.

Later, I heard from the girls that every sunny day, the seventh aunt instructed the people in the courtyard to close the courtyard door, move a chaise longue, lie on her back in the shadow, stretch out her tongue, and bask in the sun.

"Miss," Xiao Xiang laughed breathlessly, and tears overflowed: "Have you seen Aunt Seventh like that, like a pug, a sneeze, saliva mixed with ointment all the way out." ”

I smiled helplessly, and I was relieved.

As the time for me to enter Beijing approached, Crazy Stone became busier and busier, and sometimes, I couldn't see him during the day, and sometimes, as soon as we ordered food and sat down, he suddenly received new news, and it was too late to eat, so he hurried out.

I don't know if anyone was spying on us, but I dutifully covered for him.

He didn't tell me how things went, but his face became more and more solemn.

He said: "Fortunately, I found it early, and fortunately you encountered a cold word, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable." You don't know at all how huge the forces behind them are, I'm afraid that the entire Chang'an Dynasty has the potential to burn the prairies. ”

He leaned back in his chair and slapped listlessly with me, still chewing peanuts in his mouth, and fell asleep. But when I was sleeping soundly, I might suddenly open my eyes and ask me about the background and living habits of my aunt in the house seriously, most of which were trivial things.

I said, it is also possible that the thief is not the aunt in the house, but the person in charge of the house.

Crazy Stone resolutely denied it, the reason is that his father once said that the third aunt was a little suspicious and lonely, and she usually stayed at home and rarely went out of the backyard. Moreover, when she inadvertently bumped into the person colluding with someone outside the house, she hesitated for a long time to tell her father, which shows that there is some friendship on weekdays. If that person was just a lowly subordinate, the third aunt would have no need to hesitate at all.

What he said was reasonable, but I was not very familiar with a few aunts in the house, and most of the time I went back to beat around the bush, pretending to ask Xuan'er inadvertently.

People always like to figure out the meaning of the master according to his living habits or face, and the observation is the most nuanced. When chatting on weekdays, several people who have good friends will also complain and say a few words about the master's wrong. So sometimes, the information that people get is more accurate and valuable.

And the crazy stone is often able to peel off the cocoon and find valuable clues in the ordinary daily trivialities.

For example, Aunt Ten cooks totoaba in a small stove every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, and Crazy Stone said that Aunt Ten is from Jiaxing, Jiangsu.

Before Aunt Ten became popular, she followed a grassroots team to sing around, and she had the most contact with the three religions and nine streams, but she was still late in the mansion, so Crazy Stone was not very interested.

He asked the most about the fourth aunt, but I thought was the most approachable fourth aunt.

On the grandmother's birthday, the fourth aunt will make a kind of pasta called "Wufu Shou Peach", and the auspicious five bats around the word "Shou" Shou peach contains 99 small peaches, which is novel and chic.

Crazy Shi was silent for a long time, and since then, he has often asked about trivial matters about the fourth aunt, no matter how big or small.

I'm puzzled by this. Crazy Stone was blunt, saying that the five blessings of longevity peach were the palace kitchen in order to please the queen mother, in her sixtieth birthday tribute birthday pastry, a few years ago, there are regulatory requirements have not spread to the people. The fourth aunt is in the courtyard of the deep house, how did she learn it?

I said, the fourth aunt was a maid who was sold to Yangzhou by the official, could it be that you mean to say that her former master was a Beijing official, and her official position was not low?

Crazy Stone explained: "I specifically went to the government to inquire about the fourth aunt's official sales case back then, because of the age, many records are missing, and the only one that survived was also eaten by moths. In particular, there is no way to verify what kind of official position her original master family was and what crimes she committed.

This matter is not strange, I have asked your father and the housekeeper Uncle He separately, but the accounts are different.

Your father remembered that the fourth aunt once talked about her own background, and the former master seemed to be an official from some place, and she said that she had offended the people above, was framed, and ended up with a tragic end of raiding her home.

However, Uncle He vaguely remembered that the fourth aunt's original deed of sale was recorded in the capital, but after carrying the aunt, the deed of sale was returned to her.

Now it seems that the fourth aunt is obviously deliberately concealing her original master's family, which is a little suspicious.

I have already sent a letter to Liang Ci, asking him to find someone to investigate whether there were any officials in Beijing who were demoted and disposed of that year, and see if there were any unexpected gains. ”

I couldn't help but sneer at his grass and trees: "The fourth aunt used to be just a maid, just like the subordinates in my house, revolving around the master every day, what kind of thieves can she collude with?" What's more, I just returned to the house, and in the days when I was repeatedly harmed, the fourth aunt was not in the house at all, but in the vanity nunnery where the news was closed. ”

"The fourth aunt is not in the house, but Yue'er is there. She doesn't have to do it herself! "Crazy Stone looks like an idiot and dislikes me.

I immediately returned it without showing weakness: "Yue'er is the person brought into the mansion by the sixth aunt. If Yue'er is really in the same group as the fourth aunt, it is too late for Qingqing to cover her, why would she take the initiative to talk about Yue'er's suspicions in front of me and make people suspicious?

Also, Yue'er repeatedly harmed Qingqing without mercy, especially on the last day, when she jumped off the wall in a hurry, and she was really moved to Qingqing. If it weren't for Liang Ci arriving in time, Qingqing would have encountered an accident.

Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, not to mention that Qingqing is the lifeblood of the fourth aunt, and all the hopes in the second half of her life are too impossible. ”

Crazy Stone looked at me with hatred: "Sure enough, you are still too simple, there is one plan in the thirty-six plans, which is called the bitter meat plan, and I can't bear the child to trap the wolf."

When you enter the palace in the future, you will have a long insight into what a real master is. I advise you to look at Sun Tzu's Art of War, Thirty-six Strategies and the like when you are idle, lest I want to collect your body in the future, and there will be no bones left. ”

Without speculation, I immediately flew over with a teacup: "Who told you that I was going to enter the palace?" I'm not rare. ”

Crazy Stone took the cup in his hand lightly, and said with a hippie smile: "Of course your aunt told me." ”

I didn't agree with him, and I was for tat everywhere, sarcastically mocking each other. My aunt admired him quite a lot, and on more than one occasion waited at the gate of the Su Mansion, pretending to meet us by chance when we returned home late, and talked with Crazy Rock with great enthusiasm, and from time to time would boast to him about my goodness.

Crazy Shi was obviously holding back a smile, but he was extremely well-behaved in front of his aunt, smiling so that his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, blooming with a terrifying brilliance, and his aunt called him quite smoothly. When mentioning me, he no longer looks bitter and hateful, removing my surname and calling me by my name affectionately.

I scolded him for being hypocritical behind my aunt's back, he had grass roots in his mouth, and he squinted at me: "Su Qingwen, why do I think your aunt's eyes are wrong when she looks at me?" ”

I laughed at him disdainfully: "Just your old appearance of looking at the city, any woman will have cramps in her face when she sees it." ”

This time he was not annoyed, as if I had used this trick too much, and he didn't care, on the contrary, he became complacent about his appearance: "No, according to my experience, it is definitely the mother-in-law's eyes when she looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes." ”

At that time, I was rushing to drink plum wine with him, and when I heard that I couldn't swallow a mouthful of wine, I squirted out: "You have experience in this, how many mothers-in-law do you want?" ”

And he counted with his fingers, and then fell asleep.
