Chapter Forty-Nine: The Past
The fourth aunt glanced at our yard, and the eighth aunt's house was silent, and it should have stopped. Please search to see the most complete! She went to bed early every day, but she didn't sleep very well, and I could often hear her tossing and turning, the creaking of the bed, and her soft sighs at night. The fourth aunt sighed softly again and told me eloquently.
"The eighth aunt had a unique piano skill back then, she was a well-known talented 'girl' in Yangzhou City, and was praised by everyone as 'Ruzhi Rulan, Lan Xinhui quality', she was arrogant, how many merry sons, Junya bachelors couldn't get into her eyes, but at a piano meeting because of this phoenix tail piano met your father, fell in love with him at first sight, and willingly entered the house to be the eighth aunt. She is arrogant in her 'sex', and she disdains to associate with us vulgar fans, and only sympathizes with the second lady in the house, and 'friends' closely.
Later, she was pregnant, and on the day of delivery, she invited Liu Wenpo, the best midwife in the city, to deliver the baby, but unfortunately she had a difficult birth, and she was in pain for a day and a night, but she was not born. The whole person was exhausted, and he relied on the old ginseng soup to hang a force.
Later, the second lady had a dowry mother-in-law in front of her, who seemed to be surnamed Wang, who knew a little about medical skills and often delivered babies. Seeing her situation, she secretly told the second lady that she was afraid that the child in her womb was no longer good, and it was important to keep the adult.
The second lady read about the 'friendship' with her, so she told the old lady. The old lady called Liu Wenpo to ask questions, Liu Wenpo heard that someone was pointing fingers at her and questioning her level, and she was a little unhappy, but she was a little clever and afraid of being involved, so she didn't say anything to death, so as to leave a room for herself to turn around. Your father was a little anxious, and let the mother-in-law in front of the second lady enter the house with Liu Wenpo.
At that time, the eighth aunt was obviously physically exhausted and in a semi-comatose state, and the two mothers-in-law had differences of opinion and had a dispute in the house. Seeing that the eighth aunt's body was about to 'hold on', Wang Po was anxious, pushed Liu Wenpo away, and tossed for a long time before dragging the baby out of the eighth aunt's body, which was already bruised and out of breath for a long time.
Although she lost her child, but the eighth aunt picked up a 'sex' life, the child will still have it in the future, and the threshold will pass after a while.
The bad is on Liu Wenpo's mouth, it may be that someone else inadvertently talked about it, she felt that her reputation was ruined, so she quibbled that if the fetus suffocated to death, it would definitely not be as bruised as that, and the 'color' was like dead ashes, as if it had been poisoned, someone must have done something from it. At that time, in the house, only she and Mrs. Wang were close to the eighth aunt and the child, and the other mothers-in-law were just fighting in the house.
Later, somehow it reached the ears of the eighth aunt, and the eighth aunt immediately passed Liu Wenpo to her, Liu Wenpo happened to be ridiculed by others some time ago, and she held her stomach, so she passed all the blame to the princess in front of the second lady, and made something out of nothing, saying that it must be the mother-in-law who had bad intentions and secretly did something wrong.
Speaking of which, when the fetus was born, it was indeed abnormal to have a bruised complexion, as if it had been poisoned. There are some things that can't be thought about, the more the eighth aunt thinks about it, the more suspicious she feels, and she suspects that the second lady is worried that she will give birth to a baby boy and compete with her family Qingwei for the family property, so she secretly does it. Although he never broke it on the surface, he had a little estrangement in his heart, and when he saw the second lady again, he would inevitably be cynical and have something to say.
When your aunt was pregnant with you, she was a few months later than her, and Liu Wenpo said that her belly must be a baby boy, and the eighth aunt reminded you more than once that your aunt must be careful not to let some people have a chance. Originally, she was kind-hearted, but the tone in which she spoke sounded a little bit referring to Sang scolding Huai, the strength of 'yin' and yang's weird energy, so everyone didn't care.
Sure enough, your aunt was born prematurely when you were only seven months old. You were born dying, less than a kitten. The doctor couldn't give you the 'medicine', so he 'spended' a lot of money to hire two 'milk' mothers, let them drink the 'medicine' prescribed by the doctor, and then feed you 'milk'. Coincidentally, one of the 'milk' girls was originally the girl in front of the second lady.
At that time, the aunt and aunt got along fairly well on the surface, and they all brought gifts to visit your aunt's yard. The eighth aunt heard that your aunt was weak, so she gave a good 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. When she went, the second lady, in order to avoid embarrassment, put down the person she was holding in her arms and got up to leave. But in the eyes of the eighth aunt, there is a bit of a thief's heart, so she is too careful and comes forward to check on your situation. Only to find out that you also have a bruise on your body, which is the same as her baby boy who died young, but not as severe. At that time, she felt that all the conjectures in her heart had been confirmed, and it was not enough for the second lady to harm her own children for her own 'selfishness' and 'desires', and she came to kill Aunt Seven's children.
She didn't say a word at the time, so she got up and left, and ran to the master's shop to find the master, crying and making trouble for the master to make the decision for his dead child, and listed many doubts in it.
The old man naturally didn't believe it, and comforted her with kind words. At that time, the Su family was talking about a big business, relying on the second lady's maiden family, so the eighth aunt decided that the old man must be because of the power of the Weaving Bureau, for the sake of money and interests, without regard for the flesh and blood, abandon the safety of the family, quarrel angrily, sharp and mean.
The old man was worried about business matters, and he was so busy that he felt that she was making something out of nothing to compete for favor, so he said a few heavy words.
After the eighth aunt returned to the house crying, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't sit still. called a few subordinates, secretly tied up the second lady and the princess in front of her, and tortured her. The princess was wronged, and she was faithful to the Lord, so she naturally refused to confess, and was beaten with a whip all over her body, and could not bear the pain, and hit the pillar. Fortunately, she had been whipped for a long time, and she had no strength, and she was lucky to save a 'life'.
When the old man returned to the mansion and learned about it, Lei Ting was furious and punished a few minions who beat people under her hands, and then sent her to the Fuhua Nunnery under the pretext that the eighth aunt was heartbroken because of the loss of her son, called Qingxiu, but in fact she was under house arrest.
Thinking about how high the eighth aunt is, she would rather bend than bend, how can she easily bow her head and admit her mistakes. And she thought that the old man was ruthless and unrighteous, protected the second lady, and lived up to her affectionate friendship, so she was inevitably disheartened. Later, the old man became angry and sent someone to take her home, but she herself never wanted to go back, so she was deadlocked for more than ten years, and the best youth 'spring' of her life was buried here. “
After the fourth aunt finished speaking, she sighed, and there was already a pool of crystals in her eyes, feeling sorry for the misfortune of the eighth aunt.
I was silent for a long time after listening, and while I was impressed, I was still slowly thinking about the words of the fourth aunt, and peeling off the most useful clues from the middle. In terms of the cause of the third aunt's death, I am most suspicious of the second lady, but in this matter, I can't think of any motive she has. In terms of status, she is only inferior to her mother in the house, and her mother seems to be very kind to her on the surface, and it is not good for her to do these things in secret. In terms of the son 'daughter', Sister Qingqian is already married, and Brother Qingwei's status in the house cannot be compared with the son 'daughter' born by other aunts, even if the family property is divided in the future, a few more concubines will not have much impact on him, and there is no need at all. If it comes to competing for favor, her father respects her a lot, and if she has any ideas, she should only target her mother, who is so deliberate and so obviously suspicious, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"Thank you Fourth Aunt for reminding me, I didn't know that there were so many twists and turns, otherwise I would have been too talkative, and I would have said something that shouldn't have been said, which would make Aunt Eight not want to see me." The fourth aunt was able to talk to me about these taboos in the house, and I was still very 'excited'.
"These things were originally hidden from everyone in the mansion, and your aunt must not have told you about them. It's just that the old lady called the old man to inquire at that time, and I happened to be waiting in front of me, so I just listened to the general idea. I don't know what Liu Wenpo said to Aunt Eight at the beginning, which made her so firmly suspicious of the sisters who were 'friends' with her, and even would rather break the 'jade' than bow her head and seek perfection. Who is right and who is wrong, we outsiders can't be determined. Anyway, after the second lady turned against the eighth aunt, she was also sad, and she lived in a simple house, and rarely walked around with other aunts. ”
The fourth aunt covered her mouth and yawned, "The eighth aunt usually talks to you." If it's a little snarky, don't worry too much about it. Except for respecting the old lady, everyone else has always been indifferent. ”
I replied softly and stood up embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Fourth Auntie, I unknowingly delayed you for so long, you should go back to the courtyard to rest earlier." ”
The fourth aunt also stood up: "It's been some time since I left the house, I miss Qingqing a little, I feel like I see her when I see you, and my words are nagging, Miss Eleven, don't bother me." Oh, by the way, you're already hungry, look at me, I don't have the strength to see it. ”
I hurriedly humbled in, thanked the fourth aunt again for worrying about me for a long time, and saw her go back to the yard, turn on the lights in the house, and then walk towards the kitchen by myself.
Life in the nunnery has always been boring, and there is nothing to do at night. Occasionally, one or two self-motivated nuns would veil themselves and recite sutras, while everyone else would rest early. The nunnery is clean, only in the direction of the main hall, there are 'female' nuns who are on duty at night, responsible for adding oil to the Bodhisattva's ever-bright lamp, and are still knocking on the boring and monotonous wooden fish.
I am naturally familiar with the road to the kitchen, although there is no lantern, but the moonlight is fine, illuminating the bluestone road is gray, and the shadows of the trees are projected on the ground, adding a little hazy and mysterious to the night's color.
I walked all the way, still thinking about what the fourth aunt had just told me, and what happened during the day today, and hatefully scolded the name of Liang Ci in my heart hundreds of times. I was so engrossed that when someone quietly followed behind me, I didn't even notice it. When his shadow was 'shot' on the ground by the moonlight, and gradually coincided with mine, I suddenly woke up, and was so frightened that I immediately opened my mouth to exclaim, but the man behind me stepped forward to cover my mouth, and I couldn't make a sound.
