Chapter 224: The Smiling Tiger and the Mountain Wolf (Part II)
Chapter 224: The Smiling Tiger Mountain Wolf (Part II)
Master Xue San knelt on the ground, looked at the flowery edge of the kang in front of him, swallowed and foamed, "Mingrui asked the people from the yamen to help, burned the book I wrote, took back the silver, and put those people in prison." "I didn't expect Xue Mingrui to call the people from Shuntianfu so quickly, and quietly tied up those people to the yamen.
The old lady calmed down, but raised her eyes at the third master, "Thanks to Mingrui's help, otherwise the trouble will be known all over the city, I will see where your face goes." ”
The third old man was busy begging for mercy, "It's all because my son was blinded by lard for a while, so he did this kind of pickled thing." ”
The old lady still scolded mercilessly when she heard it, "You still know." People live to your age is not as good as the next generation, I spoil you on weekdays, either raising birds and insects or going out to drink, no one has you to live freely, tomorrow will be the house for you to clean up, move out, let me out of sight and out of mind. ”
The third master's face suddenly changed greatly, crying and begging for mercy, "Mother is thinking that this is the first time, so spare me."
The old lady was unmoved.
After the third old man said all the good things, the old lady sighed, "You are all the meat that fell from my body, which one of me doesn't hurt?" I hope that you will grow up to be a person, not so that you will be filial to me, but in the future you will be able to gain a foothold in the world, I can close my eyes when I die, and when I get there, I can have an explanation with your father, seeing that I am already this age, full of white hair, how many years can I live, but you are still not angry, I broke my heart for you, it should have been time for you to worry about me. The old lady propped up her body, and when she was halfway through, her hands became weak, and the whole person fell down.
The third old man was so frightened that he even knelt on the ground and shouted, "Mother, mother......"
Mother Li, who was outside, heard the sound in the room, pushed open the door and walked up quickly.
The third old man lay in front of the kang, helped the old lady with one hand, and gave the old lady a good breath with the other hand, and when he heard the footsteps, he knew that someone was coming, and he hurriedly poked his head out, "Hurry up...... Fast...... Go and ask Lang to come over. ”
Mother Li heard this and knew that the old lady's illness must be serious again, so she wanted to tell the maid to ask for a husband without saying a word, but she heard the old lady's weak voice, "No need...... Lang, will ...... The secret medicine I've always taken...... Turn a pill into a ...... Only...... Yes. ”
Mother Li didn't dare to go against the old lady's wishes, so she hurriedly went to the small cabinet in Luodian to get the pills and melted them with wine for the old lady to eat.
The third master wiped his tears and persuaded on the side: "Mother, let's invite Lang to come and see, after all, it is not a long-term solution to always use medicine." ”
The old lady relieved herself and glanced at the third master with loving eyes, "If you go to invite Lang now, how will you raise your head in front of your brother, younger brother and juniors?" ”
When the third master heard this, he couldn't help but cry bitterly, "Mother is still thinking about her son...... As long as the mother is well, even if the child has no face in the future, it will ......"
The old lady sighed, "I have worked hard to raise you to become a person, you are my face, you still don't understand this reason." ”
The third old man stumbled on the edge of the kang, "Mother, my son really won't dare to do it in the future." ”
The old lady said: "You are already a person with children and daughters, you have to look like an elder, you have to think about this family, for the sake of the people in the clan, don't harm the whole clan for you alone." ”
The third old man was full of shame and lowered his head, "Mother, my son understands." ”
The third master waited until the old lady fell asleep, and then quietly withdrew from the house, and before leaving, Mother Li sent a soft handkerchief, "The third master wiped his face and then went out."
The third master took the handkerchief, wiped his face clean, and then went out.
Mother Li returned to the inner room, and the old lady slowly opened her eyes and asked weakly, "How is it?" Asked all clearly? ”
Li's mother said: "Uncle didn't seem to say anything when he went back." ”
The old lady said: "This matter has not been said in front of everyone, and it has already saved the face of the third child, whether it is Mingrui, Ronghua or Mingbai, they have all helped cover it up." ”
Mother Li said: "Thanks to this matter, Hou Ye appeared first. ”
The old lady looked at Mother Li, "Do you think it's Ming Ruixian?" How can Mingrui be so careful when he is running errands outside, it is not Rong Hua. ”
Mother Li said: "It's also that the slave didn't pay attention, if you inquire a little, you can know, these days, the third wife has gone everywhere to raise money, borrowed one hundred taels from the young lady, and took eighty taels from the big * milk house." ”
The old lady frowned, "Where does she have so much silver?" ”
Mother Li knew that the old lady was referring to the Qian family, so she said: "I heard that the big * milk took all the money in the house, and the maid in the big * milk room even called back Nanji Suxiang, who sent fat powder to the big * milk every month, saying that it would be sent next month." ”
The old lady sighed, thinking of Qian's character, "This real child, if everyone is like her, what else is going on in this world." After a pause, he said, "Although Mingbai is not as smart as Mingrui, he has also benefited a lot from what he has seen these days, and this family will depend on them in the future." ”
Mother Li relieved the old lady and said: "Since the matter of the third master has been resolved, the silver will be returned to the big * milk, you can rest assured."
The old lady nodded.
Mother Li said with a smile: "It is also when I meet an old lady like this hometown that I can enjoy such a blessing, knowing that the big * milk is tight on the other side, and the old lady always makes up for it." ”
The old lady said: "It is also a hard-working child, and there is a sick father and younger brother at home. ”
The big * milk is like this, soft and kind, although the young lady looks like this, but in essence she is a good and strong, smart and skillful, and she is not timid or weak in the face of anything.
If this soft and hard will manage the family in the future, it will also be good. Mother Li glanced at the old lady, and she didn't know if the old lady had this idea.
……
Rong Hua heard Jinxiu say next to him that the Qian family even gave the fat powder money to the third wife.
Compared with the Qian family, she is selfish, and she will never empty out the house, and let the people below comment that she is still not as kind as the Qian family.
Rong Hua thought about it carefully and smiled.
She is not as good as the Qian family in terms of borrowing money, and the Hou Ye helped the third master a lot, but Xue Mingbai did not tell everyone about the things that those people came to the door for.
It took the strength of four people to settle the matter.
Jinxiu said: "I don't know if the uncle will tell the second wife about this." ”
Rong Hua stood up and went to make tea for Xue Mingrui, "No." ”
Xue Mingbai would never say it. What you want at this juncture is to be strict in your mouth, which is beneficial and harmless to him.
Rong Hua's tea was brewed, and Xue Mingrui just entered the door.
The timing was just right.
Rong Hua helped Xue Mingrui change his clothes, and was not in a hurry to ask the result, "I'm going to eat in my mother's yard tonight, and the kitchen has specially prepared French purple ginger, which is the best time to eat at this time." ”
Xue Mingrui took Rong Hua's hand and came out of the suite.
Rong Hua suddenly felt a chill in her palm, and a sharp thing slipped into her hand.
Rong Hua looked down and saw that it was a double butterfly troupe flower inlaid with treasures, Xue Mingrui said: "This is supervised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this one has some flaws, I look exquisite, so I asked the craftsman to inlay the treasure and cover up the flaws, but this one has no gold seal, and it doesn't hurt to wear it out." ”
Rong Hua was surprised: "The Office of Internal Affairs supervises it." ”
"I picked the gem to match your pale teal dress."
Rong Hua picked up this Yizhang Qing and looked at it, it was not a flaw, but the two butterflies mixed together couldn't tell you and me, one in front and one behind, one big and one small, playing freely around the flowers.
Rong Hua put the blue in the bun.
Xue Mingrui's slender eyes lit up.
Xue Mingrui and Rong Hua sat on chairs, and the maids in the room retreated.
Only then did Rong Hua ask about the third uncle, "Have you done everything outside?" ”
Xue Mingrui nodded lightly, "Fortunately, you appeared in time, Shuntianfu has already taken those people, the third uncle's autograph, the marriage book of the woman and that person have all been burned by the third uncle's father's hand, and the two of them have no evidence before they get married, especially the woman's nurse, who only blindly confessed that she was forced by a strong man." The woman's origin is unknown and she is entangled with others, since she did not enter the door, the matter of concubines that the third uncle said before will be stopped. ”
Although it is a few faint words, it is not easy to do it so neatly.
Rong Hua and Xue Mingrui went to Mrs. Xue's house to eat, but Mrs. Xue didn't know anything about it, but only asked if Xue Mingrui would accompany the capital with the royal driver.
Xue Mingrui said: "Although I didn't follow at first, I didn't necessarily call later." ”
Mrs. Xue nodded, and said hesitantly: "If you let you drive, let Rong Hua follow you to take a look, anyway, your yard has been cleaned up, and it is convenient to live." ”
Rong Hua lowered his head and smiled: "I'm still at home with my mother." ”
Mrs. Xue smiled kindly: "I know that you young people like to go out for a walk, and it is always good to accompany you." ”
Rong Hua still refused with a smile, "The trial of the imperial court has only come down, and the old lady is not in good health, and there will be time in the future." ”
……
Coming out of Mrs. Xue's house, Xue Mingrui went to the study to see his father-in-law, Rong Hua, Chunyao and Jinxiu embroidered flowers in the inner room, Chunyao thought about it and asked, "Young lady doesn't go to accompany the capital?" ”
Rong Hua shook his head, "Don't go." ”
Jinxiu ** stopped talking, glanced at Chunyao, Chunyao lightly chinned, Jinxiu said: "I heard from the people below that Haiyu in Hou Ye's room went to accompany the capital, if Hou Ye really went to accompany the capital, there is no one of our own to serve over there, and when the time comes, ...... The young lady could not be defenseless. ”
Rong Hua smiled slightly, "Haiyu used to be the big girl next to Hou Ye. Besides, Hou Ye went to drive, and he didn't go to the mountains and rivers to enjoy the mountains and rivers, so whether he could go back to his house was still two words. "And it was Xue Mingrui who went with him to accompany the capital, so she had to stay. If there is something going on at home, take care of it.
Xue Mingrui came out of the study, the maids waited for washing, Rong Hua remembered Brother Hong's words and wanted to ask Tao Zheng'an about it.
Xue Mingrui had already seen what she was thinking, and said, "I asked the officials of the General Administration Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to say something in front of your father, and your father has been looking for me everywhere these days. ”
Tao Zhengan is not a fearless character, otherwise she would not have died in a daze before, Tao Zhengan must not have thought that the daughter he killed with his own hands before is now his only way out.
She wants Tao Zhengan to taste the consequences of self-inflicted harm.
The following is Tao Zhengan's hard life
