Chapter 6 Unexpected Questioning to See Relatives
It was almost evening, because of the cloudy day, the courtyard was even bleaker, at this time in the past, under the big tree in front of Fuwencheng's house, it was full of women who were washing clothes and clothes, and the bustle of the Li family, the head of the house, and the sewage flowing under his feet, making this good place that should be suitable for rest become like a pigsty.
Today, the women are still noisy, but there is no pulp washing, they all gather in front of the door of Fuwen's house, poking their heads out and looking in.
“… It's an unlucky one.,When he came, the girl in his family only had half a life left.,It's a loss to enter the door of the big man's house.,Stained with the light of the big man.,Rao is still sick like this....No, the small one is good.,The big one is unlucky... There are more people building walls in the city every day, why did he fall down... It's just that he fell, and he killed someone's pig....... and asked him to work...... "The fat woman stood in the middle, and said loudly in her voice, and laughed twice from time to time.
Qiu Yehong walked out of the house with the prescription and glared at her fiercely, and the woman sneered and rolled her eyes.
"I'll bring medicine back for you, you're at home." Bao Liang helped Dr. Li out, and saw Qiu Yehong standing there with red eyes, knowing that she had always been at odds with the women in the courtyard, so he hurriedly pulled her and whispered, "Don't compete with others." ”
Fu Wencheng just sprained it, and it was no big deal, but he felt ashamed, he slept facing the wall every day, and Qiu Yehong didn't say anything, he guarded him at home, and just took the time to take out his winter clothes to dry, and saw that a few pieces were broken, and he clumsily mended them with needles and threads.
"Sister Hui, Sister Hui." Suddenly heard someone shouting to her, and when she looked up, she saw Yun'er from the small kitchen waving at the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly put down the needle and thread and walked over.
"Good sister, it just so happens that you are at home today!" Yun'er grabbed her hand and smiled, "My aunt is sick, and there is no one at home, I'll take the time to go back and have a look, you can stand for me for a long time, and I'll come when I go." ”
Sister-in-law Song is sick? Autumn Yehong was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked what was wrong, and apologized that she didn't know if she wasn't at home, so she was going to follow and see.
"Good sister, it's just that I ate wine and suffered from the wind that day, but I had a headache, today the young ladies all went out with my wife, she has to rest for a day, don't go, just stand for me for half a day, it's enough for us to appreciate it." Yun'er said hurriedly.
"In this way, you can come when you go, my father is also sick, I will stand for you and come back." Autumn leaves thought for a moment before saying.
Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked Fu Wencheng about his illness, and when he heard that there was no hindrance, he left in a hurry, Qiu Yehong went back to the house and said to Fu Wencheng, and Fu Wencheng also thanked Sister-in-law Song for taking care of her every day, and nodded in response.
"There's a lot of people over there, don't walk around." Fu Wencheng said again, and got up himself to check his mason tools.
Qiu Yehong nodded in response, and asked him not to move around and rest before going, and when he arrived at the small kitchen, he saw that there were only three mothers-in-law fighting tea and drinking, and the little girls ran without a shadow, and the mothers-in-law also recognized her.
"It's just that the wind is blowing, Yun'er is also careful, she left in the morning, and then went to see it again in the afternoon, and she was so tired that the girl came to stand for half a day." A mother-in-law moved a small stool out and invited Autumn Leaves to sit down.
"That's her filial piety, it's extremely rare." Qiu Yehong smiled, thanked her busily, sat down by herself, and the woman asked why she didn't come these days, etc., and after saying two words, she saw a little girl running over and saying, "I want a hot porridge and send it to the silver red girl's house." ”
Knowing that the ladies were not at home, the mothers-in-law didn't care, and said casually: "What silver red girl?" We are here in a small kitchen dedicated to the eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl, and the people in the other room are going to the kilometer cook. ”
The little girl pursed her lips and sneered: "Grandma, the silver red girl is a member of the eldest girl's family, so she can't eat here?" So, I'm going to tell the girl, we're going to leave early, and we don't have to be tired of dogs here. ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran away, and several mothers-in-law laughed and said: "It's not that people hate dogs, but they also know it, Amitabha, you have to go early, and we will be quiet for a few days, the eldest girl is angry in her heart and doesn't sleep for three days and two nights, and we have to cook porridge and soup at night." ”
Although Qiu Yehong was curious, she didn't ask much, but the mother-in-law chattered and said, it turned out that the eldest aunt came to pick up the eldest girl, and brought a concubine from the house, which made the eldest girl very dissatisfied, and the two had a lot of quarrels about it.
There is nothing unusual about the wives and concubines of these big families, if it is not a poor and small family, concubines are inevitable, Qiu Yehong listened, sat quietly on the side, and then sewed the clothes brought from home.
Seeing that half a day had passed, but I didn't see the clouds coming, Qiu Yehong was walking to the door to look, and saw seven or eight little maids rushing in, shouting with their hands crossed: "... Let's beat this unruly minion out......"
Seeing that most of the maids in this maid were face-to-face, and the maids in the three wives' rooms were only standing on the side and did not speak, the mother-in-law suddenly panicked, knowing that Fang Cai's matter had caused trouble, and immediately kowtowed.
"If there's anything, go to my wife." Seeing that a few little girls raised their eyebrows and were about to step forward to make a move, a few maids in the wife's room hurriedly said, while their eyes slipped past everyone, "Sister-in-law Song?" Why didn't you see her coming? Now that he is also an old man, he can't learn from those young and ignorant people? ”
At this point, Qiu Yehong couldn't stand in the back anymore and didn't speak, so she came out and said, "Sister, sister-in-law Song is windy and doesn't dare to come over, and she will be raised at home for a day today." ”
"I said, how do you know that the wives and girls go out and can't play on purpose, they are definitely not like that." The maid said with a smile and stared at Autumn Leaf Red twice.
Then a little maid sneered, squinted and glared: "What to pay back, such a rude person, just hit it." ”
"My sister is relieved, if you ask clearly, you will naturally go out." The maid smiled, her eyes slipped over the group of mothers-in-law again, and said, "So, which of you will go with me to see my wife?" ”
Those mothers-in-law suddenly panicked, and you pushed me to ask no one to go, so one of them saw Qiu Yehong, and hurriedly grabbed it and said: "Sister Hui is also here, Sister Hui, you have seen it, we don't dare to go back to our wife, you can talk about it for us." ”
Qiu Yehong was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Auntie's words are wrong, how did I say it, I am not from here." ”
"It's not the people here, so it's good to say a fair word," the mother-in-law said busily, and said to the maid busily, "Sister, this is the girl from the first second master's family, just come over today, let her talk about it for us, okay?" ”
Those maids were not angry at this time, and they shouted that they didn't care if you were here or there, and they said okay together, but they ignored the three maids, and they dragged these mothers-in-law and Qiu Yehong away together.
What is this called! Qiu Yehong couldn't help but stomp his feet, at this time they were already standing in the courtyard of the big wife, the last time they came to the back door, this time it was the main gate, Qiu Yehong couldn't help but look up, and saw a Taihu Lake stone in the courtyard, with the word "Xifang" painted with gold, just covering the sight of the main hall, there was a girl standing on the steps, and there were two mothers-in-law standing at the door to lift the curtain, and after a while, the mother-in-law said: "Mrs. wants you to come in." ”
Qiu Yehong was originally going to stand at the end, but when she entered the door, she was pushed to the front by the three mothers-in-law, so she had to go up the steps hard, cross the high threshold, smell the sandalwood faintly, and the big red shou word felt was covered under her feet, and she saw splendid clothes on both sides of her eyes.
The crowd stood by the door, bowing their heads and saying nothing, until a woman said in a woman's voice, "Get out." ”
Suddenly, this sentence frightened the mother-in-law's three souls out of her body, and she knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The woman's voice was soft and mellow, with a bit of laziness, Qiu Yehong was guessing how she spoke, she was startled by a sentence, inexplicably panicked, and subconsciously looked up, only to see a woman less than forty years old sitting in the middle, with delicate eyebrows, exquisite makeup, and a purple sauce-colored gown and a snow-green multicolored horse-faced skirt on her body. ”
Saying this, he raised his head and met the gaze of Autumn Leaf Red.
Qiu Yehong couldn't dodge, and immediately smiled and said, "The eldest lady allows me to say something." ”
