Chapter 260: Dumplings (5)

"Regarding this eldest lady of the Yun family, when I first arrived at the paper shop, I heard the county magistrate in the county government mention it. The facts of the case are not complicated, but the methods are a little more cruel. ”

Chang Tai was an honest man, and he answered whatever Xing Ruyi asked, not noticing the admiring gaze of the surrounding villagers when he mentioned the county order.

The prefectural magistrate! For the imperial court, he may just be a small sesame official, but for ordinary villagers, he is also a big person, and the young man in front of him can say in such a casual tone, "The county magistrate mentioned it", so he guessed in his heart, what is the origin of this young man?

In addition to Chang Tai, of course, the villagers also noticed the girl who had just asked Chang Tai, that is, Xing Ruyi and the fox standing beside her, as well as the two luxurious-looking carriages behind her, and a young and gorgeous young woman and a little girl poking her head out of the carriage.

Her gaze retracted from the little girl's inquisitive face, and then fell back to Xing Ruyi and the fox. Although the fox has changed to a more ordinary face, his temperament is still outstanding, and with Xing Ruyi's expensive clothes, it makes people feel more and more that this group of people is a wealthy family in the city returning home. After muttering a few times in his heart, the village chief stepped forward and asked, "How dare you ask a few distinguished guests?" ”

"Passing!" Xing Ruyi replied shyly, and pointed at Yin Yuan, who was caught in the crowd, with his finger: "Crossing the road to find someone!" ”

Only then did everyone see that there was a beautiful little doll among them. The beautiful little face, which was both good and evil, and even had a bit of cool expression, instantly attracted the attention of most of the villagers.

When Yin Yuan watched Xing Ruyi respectfully and politely call out a mother's kiss, everyone invariably sighed softly, and then when Yin Yuan shouted to the fox Daddy, the sound also floated up. The reason is very simple, if it is just Xing Ruyi's appearance, it seems normal to give birth to a child who is better looking than herself, but if she has a child with a mediocre-looking fox next to her, it seems to be a little abnormal.

Xing Ruyi coughed lightly and said, "My righteous son Yin Yuan, this is my fiancΓ©, surnamed Yin. This is Chang Tai Chang's eldest brother, his identity is to catch fast, and he is on an errand in Shendu. The two people in the carriage behind were my family, and this one in the crowd was my little guy. Because there was something wrong on the way, the young man took the children to the village to stay overnight, and we only came to pick them up this morning. ”

The village chief nodded, and looked at Chang Tai with a little more awe in his eyes: "It turned out to be a fast catcher who was on an errand in the divine capital, no wonder it looked so majestic." ”

Majesty? Doesn't that describe the statues of the gods in the temples? Xing Ruyi looked Chang Tai up and down, although he didn't laugh today, but the left and right were not majestic, at most he looked a little imposing. But she can guess a few points of the villagers' thoughts, if it was in her time, for those who wore official uniforms, she was also jealous, oh no, it was awe, and then she stayed away.

"Brother Chang, hurry up and tell me, what's going on with this eldest lady of the Yun family? I'm really curious, looking at the clothes on the eldest lady, she doesn't look like that kind of ordinary person, and she doesn't look like that kind of ruthless person. ”

"I don't know what happened to this eldest lady of the Yun family in the past, but I do know something about the case." Chang Tai said, and also glanced at the eldest lady of the Yun family who was lying on the ground. Dressed in a red wedding dress, stained with cold well water, ** sticking to his body. His hair was disheveled, his face was blue and white, his eyes were closed, and his complexion was as usual, as if he had fallen asleep.

Chang Tai thought about it, took off his robe, walked up to the eldest lady of the Yun family, and covered her with the clothes: "Please ask the village chief to find another old clothes and cover up this old brother's body a little." No matter what happened to this person before he was alive, if he died, he would be dead, and it was quite inappropriate to expose his body in front of everyone like this. ”

"That's what your lord said! That, Dog Two, take off your coat and cover him. The village chief pointed to Gou Er, who reluctantly took off his coat and covered Lao Wei's body, while he stood in place and kept rubbing his arms, as if he was about to freeze to death if he lacked such a coat. As the sentence was heard, he immediately gave Li Mao a look, so when Li Mao returned from the carriage, he had two more clothes in his hand.

One is for Chang Tai, and one is for Dog Two. For Chang Tai, when he went out of Luoyang, Xing Ruyi specially invited Jinxiufang to make winter casual clothes, not only Chang Tai had it, but Li Mao and Xiao Shengzi Xing Ruyi also prepared it together. The one given to Gou Er was the old clothes that Li Mao wore by himself, but whether it was texture, workmanship or warmth, it was better than the one Gou Er took off.

Suffering from new clothes, Dog Er was happy, and even the villagers who didn't take off their clothes on the side regretted it one by one. I thought to myself if I had taken off my coat earlier, and if I would have worn this new garment myself.

The case of the eldest lady of the Yun family is indeed not complicated, strictly speaking, it is an intentional homicide case caused by emotional disputes. The eldest lady of the Yun family is eighteen years old, and she has been allowed to marry Ma Gongzi in Lincheng since she was a child, and the two parties have agreed that as long as Miss Yun reaches the age of eighteen, it will be convenient to come to the door to propose.

Time flies, and soon Miss Yun will be eighteen years old. According to the agreement, the Ma family personally brought the servants to the door to propose marriage, and the Yun family was naturally a good receptionist. On the one hand, he was reluctant to marry his daughter so soon, and on the other hand, he also wanted his daughter to have more contact with this Ma Gongzi, and wait for the two to get married after they had a relationship, and life would be more comfortable, so the Yun family kept Ma Gongzi for a few days.

At first, everything was fine. On weekdays, the eldest lady of the Yun family will also meet with this young lady twice under the arrangement of her father and aunt, talk to each other about her thoughts, and chat. But on the day that Ma Gongzi was about to return, he suddenly put forward two conditions to Master Yun.

First, he wanted to help the maid beside the eldest lady of the Yun family redeem herself. Second, he hopes to be able to break off the marriage contract with the eldest lady of the Yun family. The reason is very simple, this Ma Gongzi fell in love with the maid next to Miss Yun, and swore that he would not marry this maid.

Although Master Yun felt embarrassed and angry, he didn't say anything in front of Ma Gongzi, but sent someone to ask his daughter's opinion. Miss Yun replied, saying that it was okay for Ma Gongzi to help the maid redeem herself, but the marriage contract could not be dissolved. The reason is very simple: this marriage contract was made a few years ago, and now everyone knows that she Miss Yun is going to marry his Ma Gongzi, and if she divorces at this time, won't she want her to die.

Ma Gongzi likes the maid next to her, yes. Because this maid was originally her personal maid, she will naturally be her dowry maid in the future, and she will marry into the Ma family with her. If Ma Gongzi likes it, he can be promoted as a concubine after she gets started.

The eldest lady of the Yun family is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is a standard lady, and she has long been deeply liked by the old lady of the Ma family, otherwise she would not have settled down early. Now that he encountered this kind of face-damaging thing, not only did he not get angry, but he generously proposed a solution, and Ma Gongzi naturally had nothing to say, so he had to respond. The marriage between the Yun family and the Ma family went on as usual.

On the day of marriage, Ma Gongzi rode a tall horse and took a mighty team to Yun's house to greet his relatives, according to local rules, the man went to the woman's house to greet his relatives, and he must eat dumplings. When the groom enters the door, the bride's family begins to cook the dumplings, and when the dumplings are cooked, they are put into a bowl in double counts, and then the bride and groom are invited to eat each.

This boiled dumplings are not particular, but eating dumplings is particular, requiring the groom and the bride to eat the double number in their respective bowls to leave the double number, under normal circumstances, each bowl will hold 12, eat 8 or 6 are reasonable choices, meaning to keep it for the father-in-law's family, can not eat it all! In the same way, the bride has to stay, which means that she can't take everything from the house with her.

The bowl of dumplings that Ma Gongzi ate was made by Miss Yun herself, and even the meat filling used to make the dumplings was chopped by herself. It's just that when he got married, Ma Gongzi didn't seem to have any thoughts, and even when he was eating dumplings, his eyes were searching in the crowd. Finally, he finished eating the sixth dumpling, and took advantage of the gap between the maids to pick up the bowls, and asked Miss Yun: "What about her?" ”

This she is not referring to others, but Miss Yun's personal maid, the person who was looked down upon by Ma Gongzi and then put it in his heart.

Miss Yun's face changed immediately, but she still tried her best to endure it, and asked Ma Gongzi: "Do you really like her so much?" ”

Ma Gongzi nodded, looked at Miss Yun's not-so-good-looking face, and said more and more seriously: "I married you today because the two families have a marriage contract, and you are the daughter-in-law of my Ma family, and this will never change." But please also remember that I only care about her, even if she is just your dowry maid, even if she is just a concubine of my Ma family, I will love her very much, and all you can get is the title of my wife. ”

Miss Yun didn't speak for a while, until the Xi Po next to her urged, then she looked at Ma Gongzi and asked, "Was that bowl of dumplings delicious just now?" ”

Ma Gongzi frowned, and subconsciously looked at the porcelain bowl in his hand, which was a delicate white porcelain soup bowl, the soup was still full of sesame oil, and the soup was sprinkled with leek powder. Underneath the minced chives are the dumplings that have not yet been eaten, and the size of the package is uniform and tight. The dumpling skin is crystal clear and pink, like the skin of a girl who can be broken by blowing red in white.

"Are these dumplings delicious?"

Miss Yun asked again.

Ma Gongzi looked down at her, in fact, he didn't taste the dumplings just now, his mind was all on his sweetheart. Before getting married, his parents did not allow him to visit the Yun family, and they did not even allow him to inquire about anything related to his sweetheart. Everyone else said that Miss Yun was knowledgeable and reasonable, and she was a first-class good wife, but only he knew the true nature hidden under the face of this good wife. He was worried that his sweetheart would be bullied by Miss Yun, especially since he had been in the door for so long and had not seen the person he was worried about.

Ma Gongzi was a little confused about Miss Yun's thoughts at this time, so he replied sullenly: "It's not bad!" ”

"Just isn't it good?" Miss Yun smiled strangely, and suddenly approached Ma Gongzi and said, "Do you know what kind of trap this is used to make dumplings?" ”

"What's the trap?" Ma Gongzi was panicked by Miss Yun's laughter, and a bad premonition also crept up from the bottom of his heart: "What happened to you?" ”

"What happened to her? What can I do with her? Miss Yun began to laugh maniacally, pointing at Ma Gongzi while laughing: "Of course I washed her, chopped her up, and then wrapped her into dumplings and sent them to you, and then watched you swallow her into your stomach one by one." Don't you like her a lot? Doesn't she like you too? Well, I will fulfill you, so that you will be together in this life and in this world, forever and ever, and you will not be separated from each other in death! ”

"Yun Pianpian, you madman!" Ma Gongzi's face changed and he began to vomit suddenly.

"Spit up? Looks like you don't like her very much, either. Oh, by the way, she doesn't seem to like you as much as you think, and when I cut through her tender skin with a knife, guess what she said to me? She said that she didn't like you at all, you forced her, and she didn't want to be with you at all, she begged me, begged me to let her go! But how is that possible? Who am I, I am Yun Pianpian, what I can't get, others can't think of it, even if it's what I don't want, others can't think of it. ”

Yun Pianpian said, dropped the dishes and chopsticks, took off the wedding clothes, and tore the marriage books of the two people to pieces in front of Ma Gongzi.

"Yes! I like you, and I've fantasized about marrying you countless times. Yun Pianpian looked at Ma Gongzi and smiled: "You haven't seen me, but I have seen you, and I have seen you many times." Since I was a child, I knew that I would be your wife, so I always took my maid to see you secretly. I thought I would be happy. I thought that with you, we would all be happy, but I didn't expect that my happiness would end before it came.

For the sake of happiness, I can sweep away all the obstacles that stand in my way, but I can't sweep it into your heart. I know that if you don't want to marry me, I can also have a lot of backbone not to marry you. Right! I can not marry you! ”

After saying this, Yun Pianpian, the eldest lady of the Yun family jumped down from the second floor of the pavilion.
