Chapter 103: The good show is called Redress of Grievances
The room was full of misty water vapor, Jin Xiang had just taken a bath, and was opening the incense powder box to wipe it on his body, the door slammed open from the outside, and a cold wind came in, blowing the warm spring in the room, so cold that Jin Xiang shivered, and the incense powder was sprinkled all over the ground.
Jin Xiang glared at the visitor, and when she saw that it was Jin Xiaotao, she was not angry, she rolled her eyes, and hooked down to pick up the incense powder box: "What's wrong, look at you running, your little face is white." ”
Jin Xiaotao eased her breath: "Sister-in-law, Jin Xiaofeng is gone." ”
"What are these words?" Jin Xiang was still not in a hurry, "How could such a big living person not be seen?" ”
Jin Xiaotao frowned: "It's really gone, according to the guy who delivered the meal, he pushed the door in early this morning and disappeared, and he searched everywhere in front and back of the tower......"
"Didn't find it?" Jin Xiang asked.
Jin Xiaolou nodded: "I didn't find it." ”
"Sister-in-law, where do you think she will run?" The finch that had just been put in the cage had not had enough of playing, so he broke open the door and flew away, both regretful and unwilling.
Jin Xiaotao was still faintly worried, this person fell outside, how could it be a disaster.
Jin Xiang shook her head: "How do I know where she went, but after all, the flowers and willows have failed, and there is no splash in this life, and you should be ...... if you were not happy in the past."
Before the words fell, the door slammed, and another person broke in outside.
Jin Xiang frowned, staring at the maid in front of him who was about to break in: "What's the matter, there are no rules." ”
The little girl's face turned pale: "Jin Xiaofeng is dead." ”
"What!" Jin Xiang and Jin Xiaotao spoke in unison, and they both stood up in shock.
When they arrived in the courtyard, there was a group of people in the courtyard.
and his wife Meng Guangmei heard the wind out of nowhere, and they actually stood in front, covering their noses with a small pink handkerchief, and ordered someone to move out the corpse of a woman who had just been lifted up from the well.
"What are you doing here, and there's less work in your hands?" As soon as Meng Guangmei turned around, she saw so many people behind her, and scolded her repeatedly.
The maid in the back was startled, and hurriedly ran around, and dispersed in an instant.
Only Jin Xiang and Jin Xiaotao are still standing in place.
Jin Xiaotao took two steps forward, and saw that the person with the straw mat on the ground showed a piece of clothing, which was indeed the one that Jin Xiaofeng had been wearing in the past few days.
It looks like the length of the body.
I never thought that Jin Xiaofeng would be so humiliated, and he actually escaped from the tower and committed suicide by jumping into a well.
Jin Xiaotao hurriedly took out the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said to Meng Guangmei: "Mother, this is my blood sister, I should have settled her in the wing, but I don't know why I couldn't think of it for a while and threw herself into the well, and I will take care of the rest of the matter, so I don't dare to trouble my mother." ”
"What, you also want to be the master of Hefu?" Meng Guangmei raised her head, and she didn't look at Jin Xiaotao, "Not to mention that you are a concubine, even if you are the wife of the eight sedan chairs and married, and Guangkun is still my son, it will not be your turn to do big and small things in this house." ”
Jin Xiaotao was taken aback, for fear that Meng Guangmei would know that she did not settle Jin Xiaofeng well, but locked her in the tower to be insulted, her heart was pounding, and she just wanted to find a reason to pull this Jin Xiaofeng out and bury her early, and end the matter early.
Who knew that Meng Guangmei was so following her wishes, waved her hand, and said to the people around her: "This person died in Hefu for unknown reasons, it was really unlucky, so I quickly pulled it out and buried it." ”
Hollyhock and hibiscus hurriedly pulled the straw mat and left.
At this time, Jin Xiaotao put her mind at ease, and breathed a long sigh of relief, her face was still sad, and she didn't dare to say a word more if she pretended to be aggrieved.
Meng Guangmei saw that the straw mat was completely dragged away, so she took off the pink handkerchief covering her mouth and nose, turned around and left.
Today, she greeted He Zhengyi in advance, and the two of them were going to Shanji for dinner together.
Hui Xiangxue Pavilion changed his dress, called the maid outside the door, whispered a few words, and then went out.
Aunt Wan heard the news when she was putting on makeup and hair, and the maid next to her heard it from the little maid who followed next to her lady.
said that Jin Xiaofeng was dead, and the well in the inner courtyard where he jumped did not see the light of day all year round.
Aunt Wan collapsed on the stool in an instant, and the whole person shook into a ball, frightened the maid who served next to her, and almost ran to call the doctor, only to be stopped by Aunt Wan when she went out.
Today she was going to go to the silk village to make winter clothes, but now she drank two sips of hot tea to warm her heart, and immediately ordered to go to the play.
She is a weak-minded person, and she can't put things down, so she must talk to close people to dissipate the depression in her heart.
On weekdays, there are some happy and unhappy little things that have to be confided in Brother Zong, let alone such a big event now.
If you don't talk to someone about this, it will be like a big stone pressing on Awan's heart, pressing her out of breath.
As soon as he arrived at the opera garden and sat down, the little maid who served the tea passed by with a copper kettle, and Ah Wan pinched a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into the little maid's hand.
Since entering the Hefu, Awan rarely comes out to meet Brother Zong, first, there are few opportunities to come out, and there may be one in ten days and a half months, and secondly, there are many people outside, which is not as convenient as the house.
Therefore, the two of them are better to see each other in the house once every seven days.
This Awan suddenly came to the door, and Brother Zong didn't have to think about it to know that something big must have happened, so he came in a hurry.
When they heard that the girl who had been in the tower last time had jumped into the well, the two of them stared at each other, both of them with a look of horror and regret.
They are not good people, but they are not bad, and this killing of a human life is enough to feel guilty and blame yourself for a while.
……
On Shanji's side, He Zhengyi thought that he was coming and went straight to the second floor to eat, but who knew that Jin Xiaolou actually let the two of them line up outside.
Jin Xiaolou's trick is really high, not only helping Meng Guangmei, but also letting the people who pass by Xiangshui Street around him understand, so that even the county magistrate has to queue up obediently if he wants to come here to eat.
For a time, Shanji's reputation became even louder.
Next to the queue was a small open space still fenced off with straps.
In the open space, Gui Zhi disguised herself as a man and was playing a good show with Jin Xiaolou.
Zhou Shuli held a sign with the word rockery written, in front of the rockery, Ruyue dressed up as Meng Guangmei, and listened to the movement behind the rockery.
Lu Yun stepped forward and rushed to the people lining up outside: "Today's play, called Pingyi Zhaoxue, our boss will stage it in person, and I hope you will watch it carefully." ”
and justice is not stupid, he was already suspicious when he asked him to line up, but at this moment he fully understands that this play is for himself.
But why this Jin Xiaolou made this out is still in the clouds.
After watching it for a while, it was not until the scene of the garden passed, and the scene changed to a tower, and justice was not clear.
The face was a little ugly on the spot, and they all said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and this and the pickled things in the house were actually made into a play and performed in public, so how can people bear it?
was about to have a seizure, but when they heard Jin Xiaolou cleverly change the names of everyone inside, everyone was happy, but no one knew that this happened in front of them.
Thinking of the scene in the garden in front of him, with this situation, Ruyue muttered to herself, and justice understood the original facts clearly.
However, he only believed three points in his heart, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.
Just when he lost his patience and was about to brush his sleeves away, Lu Yun hurriedly came over and led the master and Mrs. He to the second floor.
At the dinner table of the green clouds, Meng Guangmei didn't mention the drama just now, just chatted with He Zhengyi about trivial matters, and after finishing the meal, Meng Guangmei took He Zheng to visit the calligraphy and painting shop again, until the twilight fell, Meng Guangmei stretched her waist and sighed that it was time to go back.
He Zhengyi didn't know what she was doing, until she got on the soft sedan chair back to her house and walked to the alley of Dongyang Street, Meng Guangmei suddenly said: "Stop." ”
With that, he lifted the sedan curtain.
The way back to the house did not pass through this Dongyang Street, and justice naturally knew, his face sank, he couldn't help it, and immediately drank: "What the hell are you doing all day long?" It's watching a play again, it's shopping again, isn't it enough for me to punish you the day before yesterday? So that you have time to fix these moths! ”
"Didn't Jin Xiaolou show you just now?" was scolded by Hezheng crackling, Meng Guangmei's face remained unchanged at all, "Today's good drama is called Redress of Grievances Zhaoxue." ”
"Redress the grievances?" And justice is even more annoying.
"That's right, you are a county magistrate, listen to slander, blame me wrongly, I am naturally going to complain." After Meng Guangmei finished speaking, she saw a thin man in green clothes turning around the corner from a distance, and she immediately arrived, "Let's watch, a good show is about to be staged." ”
