Chapter 40: The East Window Incident
This Li Cui was helping her father dispense medicine in the front hall, and was taken by Zhang Damao, a bully who came to grab medicine for her concubine, Li Cui saw that Zhang Damao didn't catch the medicine, she just stared at her in a daze, and felt disgusted, after all, it was a girl's house, it was not good to have a seizure, her face sank, and she hurriedly finished dispensing the medicine in her hand, and turned around and entered the inner hall.
Seeing that Li Cui was so spicy, this big hair liked it even more, and his heart was itching as if he had been scratched by a cat's paws, and he couldn't wait to marry him and go home and kiss him in his arms, and he really remembered Li Cui since then.
After a short time, this Da Mao found a matchmaker, wanting to make Li Cui a six-room aunt, this Da Mao has long been notorious in the township, how dare the daughter of a serious family give him, he will not be a wife, let alone be a six-room concubine, where is Daddy Li willing to agree, he rejected the matchmaker, and scolded the matchmaker.
This matchmaker was angry, and said to Zhang Damao, this Zhang Damao couldn't get married, and immediately became angry, and found a fox friend and dog friend on weekdays to discuss, and came up with a poisonous plan, several people set a trap, and smeared Daddy Li's medicine to eat people to death, poor Daddy Li can fight this famous bully on the street, Li Du is a weak scholar, the family is greedy for a lawsuit, and Daddy Li was imprisoned for this.
At this time, Zhang Damao sent someone to lobby again, as long as Li Cui was willing to marry him as a concubine, he would spend money to find someone to rescue Daddy Li, how could the Li Du brothers and sisters agree, that Zhang Damao was worried about Li Cui, and came to the medicine hall for three days to make trouble, seeing that the medicine hall could not be opened, the brother and sister sold the medicine hall as soon as they combined, and scraped together some money.
Not to mention how to call the blessing of the unequaled, the disaster is not a single line, this Li family will be the medicine hall out, there is no way to get money, Li Daddy after this toss, a poisonous fire to attack the heart, from now on a sick can't afford to be sick, this small chaff family, within a few days, the family is surrounded by four walls, no rice to open the pot, this big hair is also three or five from time to time to come to the door to entangle, seeing that the family has no way to live, at this time I heard that one of the four major families of Xiao Fu bought a maid, and I heard that Xiao Fu Su Ri is very good to the next person, if he was picked by the master, he made a personal maid, more decent than the ordinary lady.
Li Cui discussed with her father and brother that she wanted to sell into Xiao Mansion, but Daddy Li did not agree, and finally Li Cui knelt on the ground to threaten her with death, and said to her father that she had only this way to go, and sold her, first, she had money to treat her father, and secondly, she was not at home, and this big hair would be dead, at least my father could recuperate with peace of mind, otherwise the family would only have a dead end.
Li Cui was originally a fierce and fierce woman, kneeling on the ground at this time, swearing to the sky that she would rather be a slave than a concubine in this life, if her father did not agree with her to sell herself, she would die in front of her father, a hundred, in desperation, she had to sell her daughter into Xiao Mansion with tears on her daughter's promise to only sign a living deed.
Several people listened to Zhiqiu's life experience, and they all sighed, Zhichun was already in tears, only saying that this world is impermanent, and it is difficult to be a good person.
Mengxi in the 21st century, who has seen this kind of thing, is even more sympathetic in his heart, and took some scattered silver taels, handed them to Zhiqiu, and asked her to ask someone to send them to buy medicine for her father to treat her illness, and then let her go home to visit her father and brother when she has the opportunity in the future.
Mengxi listened to the other three girls talk about their respective life experiences, they are all children of ordinary poor families, not so poor that they can't eat, who is willing to sell their own girl to others as slaves?
Listening to the life experiences of several people, Mengxi hated this evil feudal society, hated and hated, and knew that with her alone, she had no way to return to the sky, and when she came here, she could only go with the flow.
I briefly talked to a few maids about the rules in this house, and told them that the four of them would be her personal maids in the future, and they could only be loyal to her alone, especially emphasizing that although the second master was also the master, the four of them only needed to be loyal to her, and they didn't need to think about the second master in everything.
The four girls are all ice and snow smart, the second grandmother dialed a little, naturally understood, was busy in front of the second grandmother to show loyalty, swore to be loyal to the second grandmother, looking at the seriousness of several girls, Mengxi wanted to laugh, crossed to this Daqi for more than half a month, she knew the binding force of this oath on the ancients, and finally did not laugh.
……
After lunch, the old lady leaned on the bed in the ear room, her eyes slightly closed, and the waiter was beating her leg and whispering.
"You're right, is this news reliable? Wouldn't it be some neighborhood rumors? ”
"Back to the old lady, it's true, the news of the slave is absolutely reliable, the cousin of the slave aunt is the second grandmother's sister Mengfei's childhood sweetheart's friend, the second grandmother is indeed born to the fifth aunt of Master Li, because Mrs. Li heard that the second master has been ill for a long time, I'm afraid that I won't act, and I'm reluctant to marry my daughter to Chongxi, so I let the second grandmother marry on my behalf, so Master Li is afraid that the news of this concubine will leak out, and after the second grandmother got married, he put his daughter Mengfei under house arrest at home, and watched it tightly, for fear that she would be recognized by the neighborhood. Seeing that after the second grandmother got married in the past two days, there was nothing to do, and Master Li was relieved, so Mengfei found an opportunity to sneak out of the Li Mansion, and met the slave's cousin, and occasionally said this when chatting"
"Did you see the Yuanpa sent by Xiao Xiangyuan Hongyu that day?"
"The slave maid and the grandmother have carefully examined, and they are indeed red, and the second grandmother and the second master are round."
"What a wreck! Our Xiao family has ancestral training, the wife of the head of the Xiao family must be a concubine, Xi'er is a concubine, so she is not qualified to be Jun'er's wife, if there is no round house, we can also find a good family for Xi'er to marry, and accompany more dowry, but now use eight sedan chairs to carry in from the main entrance, and round the room, but how to be born is good"
The old lady sat up straight and said tremblingly.
Thinking of the dead old lady Xiao, he lowered his feet and said:
"Old lady, you see, this is all a sin you have done, it is really a sin made by heaven, you can be forgiven, you have done your own sin, you can't live!"
It turned out that Mengxi's grandfather, Mrs. Li, accidentally saved Mrs. Xiao's life, and the two hit it off at first sight, talked happily with each other, admired each other's talents, and felt a sense of sympathy for each other, and since then they have become close friends.
Mrs. Xiao for gratitude, a drink to set the children of the family, because the Xiao family has ancestral training, the wife of the head of the Xiao family must be a daughter-in-law, Xiao Jun has been set as the next generation of the head of the family, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Li explained the matter, set Mrs. Li's granddaughter, at that time Mrs. Xiao also had an extra heart, although Mrs. Li is a bright and upright, Huai Jin holds the person of Yu, the granddaughter must not be wrong, but in the end it is separated by two generations, the same mother, there are also good and bad, if there are more granddaughters of Mrs. Li in the future, When Jun'er grows up, it's best to have room to choose, anyway, this daughter-in-law is not afraid of being young, so the marriage contract was only signed for Xiao Jun to marry Mrs. Li's granddaughter, and did not write the name of this granddaughter and the eight characters of Shengchen, when Mrs. Xiao mentioned this matter to Mrs. Xiao at that time, he also proudly said that he was in a hurry and left Jun'er room to choose, so that Jun'er would not blame him when he grew up.
Unexpectedly, his selfishness allowed the Li family to take advantage of the loophole and plant the root of today's bane.
Seeing that the old lady was worried, the waiter rolled his eyes and came up with a clever plan:
"Old lady, this matter is simple, as long as you find a mistake, demote the second grandmother to a concubine, and then welcome the second grandmother into a concubine as a wife, everything will be solved, and the Li family will take the concubine first, dare not say a word?"
