I don't know if it's because Ayan's dream was so beautiful that when she woke up, it was already dawn.

She rubbed her eyes and looked around, but saw that the candle on the confession had already been burned and had been extinguished. She got up, knowing that someone would soon come to see her, and that if she was found to have slept all night instead of kneeling, she would get into trouble.

But just as she bent down to pack the futon, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open a crack.

Aunt Guo looked inside, and when she saw Ayan rolling up the futon, her eyes lit up, and she simply pushed open the ancestral hall openly, stepped forward proudly, and said in a sharp voice:

"Hey, come and see, the ancestor punished the three girls to kneel here all night, who knew that our three girls actually slept on the floor here all night! What a big boldness, this is an ancestral hall, you dare to offend your ancestors here!"

Aunt Guo got this reason and said proudly there.

When Ah Yan heard this, he saw that she looked like a villain, but she sneered.

"Aunt Guo, you are now in a hurry to go to the eldest lady to sue me, so what? Do you think that the eldest lady will be happy and like your fifth girl from now on? Do you say that she will reward you with a gold jewelry, or will she try to find a good son-in-law for the fifth girl?" Ah Yan's tone was full of mockery.

Aunt Guo listened to Ah Yan's cynicism, and was about to step forward with her waist crossed:

"You little girl, why are you so sharp-tongued now, and you're just a girl in the house, what kind of smugness! No matter what, the five girls in my family are also the blood of the ancestors, but what about you, what kind of onion are you, but a girl who was afraid of bed gave birth to the third master back then, and that's why I have you! I just don't please the eldest wife of the ancestor anymore, and I can't allow you to rely on two stinky money to run rampant in the house!"

When Aunt Guo said this, her voice was sharp, and she had already alarmed the people who hugged the building.

Mama Zhang rubbed her eyes and led Sister-in-law Liu and Sister-in-law Sun over, and a few little girls also woke up, and they ran over without combing their heads.

When Ah Yan heard this, he sneered more and more, and said lightly:

"It's just an aunt, who dares to shout in front of the girl, and says that she wants to go to the ancestor and the eldest lady to chew the root of her tongue. ”

Saying this, she turned her head to look at Mama Zhang, who was still red-eyed, and stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Mama Zhang, you were originally an old lady who had been with her for many years, you can talk about it, but is there any reason for this?"

Mama Zhang looked at the bedding on the ground that had been ravaged by Ah Yan after sleeping all night, and then looked at Aunt Guo who was arrogant, and after a long time, she finally spoke:

"Aunt Guo, the old slave was ordered to watch the third girl be punished last night. I don't know what Aunt Guo is doing when she gets up early in the morning? Running here to shout, is this to make the ancestors in the ancestral hall unpeaceful?"

When Aunt Guo heard this, she was so puzzled and aggrieved, and hurriedly pulled Mama Zhang and said:

"Mama, look, where did these three girls kneel all night! She is disobeying the yang and yin, and she is ignoring the orders of the ancestors! You have to go back and report to the ancestors!"

When Mama Zhang heard this, her eyes were full of coldness and sneer.

"Aunt Guo, the old slave doesn't understand what you're talking about, because the old slave definitely doesn't dare to disobey the yang and the yin, and he knelt all night last night staring at the third girl. If someone else has to say anything about the three girls not kneeling, then the old slave should ask, who saw it?"

Aunt Guo was stunned, she pointed to the futon on the ground in confusion and said:

"Isn't that quilt on the ground where the three girls sleep?"

Who knew that as soon as these words came out, Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly stepped forward and explained in a low voice:

"Aunt Guo, you can't talk nonsense. This is Mama Zhang, who is really old, so she put it there, and she was afraid of the cold, so she rested aside. Although this is in the ancestral hall, even so, we can't freeze alive when we watch the three girls here with our eyes open all night, even if we walk to the old lady, there is no such reason. You also know that the old lady is the most pitiful to the poor and the weak, where is the reason to let the old lady who has accumulated years of life suffer from the cold! Besides, Mama Zhang is a decent person in front of the old lady, and she has always been valued by the old lady. If you really want to run to the old lady and shout, you are afraid of upsetting the old lady. ”

If Aunt Guo didn't understand why this was at all before, now it is suddenly clear.

When she went to sue, didn't she even sue this group of mothers?

Just thinking about this, I saw Sister-in-law Liu and a few girls hurrying over and packing up the futon, but they wanted to destroy the evidence!

Aunt Guo came over so early in the morning, in fact, she was looking for trouble with the third girl, so that she could go to the young grandmother or the old lady to sell it, but now she was blocked like this, but her heart was very uncomfortable. On the one hand, I feel that my trip has come in vain, and on the other hand, I feel that she is just a mere three girls, how can she let this group of old mothers bow down here and start talking for her!

Aunt Guo thought for a long time, her face was red for a while, white for a while, half loud, and finally glared at the third girl, and threw down a sentence:

"Isn't it just a few stinky money!"

As he spoke, he threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Mama Zhang laughed coldly at Aunt Guo's back.

"Third girl, since you have knelt all night, now you want to follow the old slave to the old lady and ask Ann to confess your sins. Mama Zhang turned around and said to Ah Yan.

Ah Yan got up unhurriedly and said with a smile:

"Since I knelt all night, I naturally didn't do well, and I bothered my mother to find a stout servant, but I had to carry Ah Yan over on my back. ”

When Mama Zhang heard this, she was stunned, looked at Ah Yan for a while, and then said:

"It's hard for the three girls to think about it thoroughly. ”

For a while, the coarse servants in the ancestral hall were called, so Ah Yan chose one, carried it on his back, and went to the old lady's courtyard.

Xiqing rushed to the ancestral hall early in the morning, and happened to meet Ah Yan and the others, and saw Ah Yan being carried by a servant, and several grandmothers and thick servants behind him, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"It's okay to look at it. When Xiqing saw this, she was relieved.

"Where is the face better, Sister Xiqing, Ayan is going to die, his knees are hurting to death, I'm afraid this leg is useless!" Ayan cried with a sad face and complained to Xiqing.

Xiqing immediately understood, and in a blink of an eye, her face was already full of sadness.

"My hard-working third girl, my wife is so worried that she wiped her tears early in the morning, and now she has gone to wait outside the old lady's room, just begging the old lady to put out the fire, but don't punish you again! If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the girl's leg will not be saved!" Xiqing said as she spoke, and she really looked like she was about to cry.

Ah Yan nodded with satisfaction in his heart, and felt more and more that he would focus on cultivating Xiqing in the future.

At that moment, the master and servant made a sad look and continued to go to the old lady's courtyard.

After walking for a long time, I walked around the corridor and through the hall, and came to the courtyard, but I saw the third lady kneeling there with tears wiping her tears in front of the door.

At this time, the servant woman came to the gate of the courtyard with Ah Yan on her back, so Ah Yan cried and said:

"Third wife, Ah Yan's leg hurts so much!"

Although the three wives already knew that Ah Yan didn't kneel at all, but they didn't see their daughter all night, and they saw her white little face crying like something, and her heart suddenly hurt as if she had been stripped of someone, and she stepped forward with a pale face, and shouted:

"My heart, liver, and flesh, if your leg is ruined, how can I live in the future! I just hit my head and die there, and I don't have the face to go down to see your father! What a good girl's family, one leg is so wasted, and I won't even be able to say goodbye in the future, how can I live this life!"

Ah Yan saw that his mother was crying sadly, although he was distressed, but - this is the effect he wanted!

So she lay on the servant's back, aggrieved, and sobbed lowly: "Mother, don't cry, if Ah Yan really can't have this leg, Ah Yan will simply not live, just go underground to find Daddy!"

When the third wife heard her daughter say this, she became more and more sad, and when she thought of her husband who had left early, the tears flowed more and more:

"The third master who has no conscience, you just go like this, leaving orphans and widows, one is an uncompetitive helper, and one is not good at reading, but the other is a disobedient dead girl, who will cause trouble for me!

While the three wives were crying, they saw the sound of footsteps outside.

Everyone turned their faces to look over, but it was the thirteen-year-old Fourth Young Master running over.

He came running with a golden knife, panting, his face was red, his hair was messy on his head, and he had a few grasses, and when he saw his mother and sister crying, he became anxious:

"Ah Yan, how are you?

Ah Yan hid his face and wept, his shoulders shrugged slightly.

Although this Gu Song has always acted recklessly, he is a sister who loves his sister, at this time, he saw his mother crying and wiping away tears, and his sister was sobbing so much that she was angry at the moment!

"I said last night that I can't let my sister really kneel all night, but my mother didn't listen! I even let people lock me up in the firewood room, but I died in a hurry! If my sister's leg is really broken, won't my mother feel distressed!"

Saying this, Gu Song was about to step forward, take his sister from the servant's arms, and hold her and said:

"Hurry up and show my brother how your leg is doing!"

Saying this, Ah Yan's heart was so warm, thinking that he was his own brother in the end, and this blood relationship really couldn't be faked!

Although her heart was hot, her face was not revealed, she just cried and said with a sad face:

"Brother, my leg hurts...... I was bored. But don't touch my legs, it hurts when you touch them, you go back and find a doctor for me...... Show me the leg ......"

Intermittent, sobbing and choking...... Ah Yan was crying while lying on his brother's shoulder, and at the same time thinking to himself, he is really a good job!

"Ahh

But as soon as he got up, he noticed that something was wrong:

"No, the old ancestor is waiting here, I will accompany you to go in and ask the old ancestor for sin, if the old ancestor still refuses to forgive the sister, then I will kneel for you!"

As soon as he said this, he saw a grandmother coming out of the main room, with frost on her face, looking condescendingly at the noisy family.

"The ancestor is resting, you are here early in the morning, you should be crying and mourning?"

It was Mama Meng who came, who was the maid who was married by the ancestors, and later married the chief manager of the Jingguo Mansion, and gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and now the three sons are in charge of affairs in the house, and the two daughters are also married to decent people in the house. Now this Mama Meng is in the ancestral room, which is something that idlers dare not offend. Don't talk about others, it's the young grandmother, you have to salute when you see her, and say hello to grandma.

At that moment, when everyone saw Mama Meng coming out, just like the ancestors were coming, they all lowered their heads one by one.

Only Gu Song, but he was not afraid, and he said there with his neck stalked:

"My sister's legs are like this, is it difficult that she won't be allowed to say a few words?"

Mama Meng has lived to such a big age, where has she been bumped into like this, who knows that when she meets this Gu Song, who is not afraid of heaven and earth!

She stared at Gu Song coldly, but scenes from the past suddenly appeared in front of her.

Half-loud, she said lightly:

"The Ancestor is washing, you can wait. With that, he turned around and went back.

This Gu Song was not angry, and he was afraid that he would delay his sister's leg if he didn't invite a doctor, and he was afraid that if he left the old ancestor, he would bully his mother and sister-in-law. Because he wanted to enter the inner courtyard, the little guys around him stayed outside one by one and never brought them in.
