Chapter 24 The chickens fly and the dogs jump, and the silver hairpin falls into the well

Su Ke, the second son of the eldest princess, was the fifth son of the eldest princess at the time, and his wife Li Shi was the second lady in Jixiang's mouth.

When the old Guogong conquered Shuozhou, he was careless for a while, and was ambushed by the people of the North Plains, and when he broke through in a hurry, he strayed into a dense forest, lost his way in it, and wandered around for two whole days and could not find a way out, and happened to meet a hunter, who was the local villager, and asked the old Guogong to be the general who went out to the North Plains, so he led the old Guogong and his party back to the village, killing chickens and slaughtering sheep and hospitality, not to mention, and looking for herbs to treat the wounded soldiers, and then it was this Orion who led the way, and led the old Guogong to join the army.

The old man felt the grace of Orion, and thanked him with gold and silver, but Orion refused to accept it, so the old man told Orion his name, and left a short dagger as a token, promising that if Orion encountered difficulties, no matter when, he could come to Jinyang Weiguo Mansion to take refuge.

As the years passed, more than ten years seemed to be snapping his fingers, Orion died of illness, and his son also died unexpectedly, leaving only a widow and a young daughter.

I think that before Orion died, he told his son's family about the encounter with a noble person in the forest, and the short dagger was handed over to his children and grandchildren as an heirloom, and then Orion's son died, his wife could not bear the hard work, and there were no other relatives to take refuge, remembering the past that his father-in-law said, he led his daughter to Jinyang to find a noble person to rely on.

When the old prince heard that Orion had died, and that his only son had suffered misfortune, he was very embarrassed, and when he saw that the widow and weak woman were lonely, he took them in and lived in the mansion.

I don't want the widow to see the wealth of the Weiguo Mansion, and her eyes were suddenly red, thinking that sending people under the fence is not a long-term strategy after all, even if the old princess and the eldest princess value kindness and righteousness, and will not neglect their mother and daughter, but in the end, they are guests, and their hearts are always not steady, only when they become the rightful owner of this family, can they be arrogant and enjoy the glory, so the widow is nonsense, claiming that the father-in-law confessed before his death, and the old prince had personally made an oath to let his son marry her daughter, and the dagger was a token of marriage!

Ritchie, who is Orion's granddaughter, was fourteen at the time, although she had not yet reached the age of marriage, but according to the customs of Dalong, she had also reached the age of marriage.

The widow was greedy, and she wanted to marry her daughter to the prince of Weiguo, but the prince had already married the concubine of Jianning Houfu, or was married by the queen mother, even if the old prince did not forget the kindness of Orion, he would never allow it, so in desperation, the old prince had to discuss with the eldest princess and let the second son Su Ke marry Li's.

was a helpless commoner, if she was a different person, how could she be allowed to blackmail, but the eldest princess and the old prince were quite chivalrous, thinking of the dead Orion was very unbearable, when Richie was still young, with a weak temperament, and her appearance was also delicate, and the eldest princess took pity on her loneliness, so she didn't consider what lintel background she was, and allowed this marriage.

I thought that Ritchie was still gentle, as long as he respected Su Ke like a guest in the future, he would not be in love for a long time, who would have thought that the widow was not a fuel-efficient lamp, since the marriage, he provoked Ritch to gradually dominate, and commanded his subordinates, scolding him at the light level, and beating him at the worst, Su Ke just said a few more words to the maid next to the eldest princess, and Ritch turned his head and made trouble with his mother-in-law, and wanted to sell the maid's feet.

The eldest princess couldn't bear it anymore, so she bought a house outside and forced the widow to move to live alone.

I don't want Ritchie to hold a grudge because of this, so he becomes more and more rude and willful, making the second room unpeaceful.

If this continues, Su Ke really "respects each other like ice" to Ritchie, and has been married for several years, when Ritch gave birth to two daughters, Erniang and Siniang, Su Ke used "heir" as an excuse to beg his mother to be the master, and accepted Aunt Mei in the side room.

Aunt Mei was originally the daughter of Teacher Su Ke, although she did not have the identity of a famous family, but she was also innocent, plus with Su Ke's childhood sweetheart, with such a noble concubine, Li felt even more like a stab in her throat, seeing that her husband cared for Aunt Mei in a thousand ways, the vinegar jar in her stomach was shattered, and after a few crying, Su Ke was even more tired of her.

Seeing that her daughter's position was threatened, the widow Li bought a beautiful maid out of nowhere, and persuaded her to be "virtuous" and "considerate", and took the initiative to make the maid Aunt Chen, so as to win favor with Aunt Mei.

But after nearly ten years, neither Aunt Mei nor Aunt Chen have ever been pregnant.

Ritchie was also worried that Su Ke would give her a letter of resignation under the pretext of "childless", so she restrained her temperament a little, but Su Ke's dislike for her was deep-rooted, and the couple continued to "respect each other like ice".

Many servants and women also looked down on the second lady in private, but fortunately, the Duchess of the Kingdom had strict rules and suppressed warnings, and the subordinates maintained respect for Ritchie in terms of face.

To say that the wife of the second room and the aunt of the long room really have no interest entanglement, there should be no contradiction between Leigh and Aunt Zhang, but the two are like vicious dogs and wild cats, as long as they meet, the teeth of the teeth are bared, and the claws of the bright claws are bright.

Aunt Zhang thinks that she was born with Billy's beauty, although because of her father and ancestors, she has the hat of an official maid on her head, and she can't compare to those famous and noble girls. But when she was young, she followed the eldest princess, but she was also pampered and grew up, plus the master was kind to her, and he never regarded her as a maidservant, and also taught her to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to mention the talent, but it is better than the illiterate, crude and immoral Orion daughter, right?

Obviously, they all live under the protection of the Guogong Mansion, how can the Li family be a married woman in a straightforward manner, and he has carefully obtained the position of an aunt, and he has been disgusted by the eldest princess and subjected to the cynicism of Diao Nu?

Aunt Zhang was very jealous of the Lee family and despised her from the bottom of her bones.

However, the two were pregnant together, Aunt Zhang gave birth to a son, but Ritchell only gave birth to a daughter.

Aunt Zhang was even more upset with herself, and since then, she has been showing off her power in front of Ritchie more and more.

Is Ritchie a tolerant person? At the instigation of the widow back then, she only thought that she should have been the wife of the prince, so even Wanniang, the eldest sister-in-law from a famous family, dared not to pay attention to it, let alone an aunt who climbed into bed by drugs?

Neither of them looked down on each other, and they didn't need others to provoke them at all, so they spontaneously became mortal enemies.

Therefore, disputes between the second lady and Aunt Zhang often occur, and it was not uncommon.

Erniang listened to the maid's auspicious words, and immediately became angry, and slapped a white jade beauty plum bottle on the Yijing case on the ground, fell to pieces, and scolded when she opened her mouth: "It's not possible to do it, a cheap concubine dares to quarrel with my mother, I want to go over and see how arrogant she can be!" ”

automatically ignored the auspicious words - it was the second lady who went to Aunt Zhang's yard to make a fuss.

Several ladies watched Erniang roll up her sleeves and walk out with a nervous auspicious wind, looking at each other for a while.

"Let's go and take a look, the eighth sister lives with Aunt Zhang, and she may be implicated." Yijing said.

Yichen was also very worried: "Mother just went out, I don't want them to make a noise, and the second sister is like that, if no one persuades her, it will make the matter bigger and bigger, and make my grandmother angry." ”

Sanniang was eager to go to the play, so she naturally agreed to leave immediately, only Liuniang secretly thought, the second aunt and Aunt Zhang were like two pieces of coal, and she didn't know what dirty words she would say in her anger, so she got up and said: "It's good for my sisters to persuade me, I'm small, and I can't speak, so it's useless to go." ”

So the four daughters went out of Luqing Garden together, but they parted ways.

Even though the three of them were already prepared in their hearts, when they arrived at Jin Guiyuan, they were still stunned by the scene in front of them.

The yard is full of broken porcelain and gravel, exuding broken mango in the sun, flowers and plants are uprooted, lying down in the plaster all over the ground, several big girls fight each other, hairpin rings are scattered, the cape is scattered, I don't know whose half of the sleeves on the ground are, they are trampled on and can no longer see their own color, bravely Erniang and her mother threw Aunt Zhang to the ground, one pulled her hair, the other slapped, Siniang was also embarrassed, and a sole was printed on her skirt, trying to dissuade her mother and sister, but she was pushed out by Erniang, Sitting in the flower bed that was already full of wattles, I couldn't get up for a long time.

The dust was billowing in the air, and the shouts and scolding of "sluts", "little hooves" and "dead prostitutes" were endless, mixed with Aunt Zhang's miserable screams - "Murder!" "The shameless shabby skinkeeper is going to kill someone!"

How can this scene be shocked by the delicate and weak little ladies.

Yijing immediately made a decision and instructed Chundu: "Mother is not here at the moment, go and tell Mama Yang and ask her to call a few strong mothers-in-law!" He also said to Xia Yun and Yuzhi and the big maids: "Drink and stop those maids first, let them stop first." Because he hurriedly glanced at everyone, but didn't see Banniang, he helped Siniang up first, and before he could ask what the situation was, he saw Banniang's nurse rushing out of the porch with a broom, and smashed his arm on Ritchie's back!

"You slut with a thousand cuts!" Ritchell was struck and jumped to his feet, hitting the waist of the nurse like a she-wolf, and the two fell on the steps, rolling around.

A group of disheveled maids who stopped under Xia Yun and Yuzhi's drinking stopped seeing that Ritchie was at a loss, and they rushed up again, pulling their hair and scratching their faces.

"Why don't you stop it, what is this going to be!" Seeing that Jin Guiyuan's maid wanted to join the melee again, Yichen finally came back to his senses and scolded.

But it was useless, and the maids soon became entangled again, and the scolding suddenly rose.

Ritchie simply raised his foot and kicked at Aunt Zhang-

"You are a slut who invites pets by climbing the bed, and the maid next to you is also a slut, why don't men learn from you to drug your uncle, and hook up with my man in the middle of the road, what is it, and I don't pee and take pictures......"

Because of the nurse's broom to break the siege, Aunt Zhang, who finally got up from the ground, was tearing with Erniang, and was kicked in the middle by her heart's feet, only to feel that the blood in her chest was surging, and she temporarily lost the strength to fight back, but she mustered up a mouthful of phlegm and spit it on Ritchie: "I'm bah!" Who doesn't know that it was you, a broken household, who was stubborn and stubborn to marry the second master, what if you became a wife, and what if you gave birth to two money goods! It's not something that is undesirable! ”

Ritchie screamed, flapping his paws and rushing over again......

Seeing that the trouble was really unreasonable, Siniang pushed away the beautiful scene, picked up the gravel on the ground and put it against her neck, and scolded coldly: "Stop!" ”

"Fourth sister!" "Fourth sister!" Yichen and Yijing shouted in unison: "Don't do stupid things!" ”

Erniang was also stunned, wiped a handful of dust from her face, and was a little at a loss.

Only Sanniang sneered, still standing far away at the corner of the courtyard gate.

"Mother, save some face for your daughter." Siniang's eyes were red, and she looked sadly at her own mother, who was full of anger and hair.

"You elbow out......" Although Li was shocked by her daughter and did not rush at Aunt Zhang again, the anger on her face did not weaken, but she was stopped by Yijing when she was halfway through: "Second aunt, you extinguish the fire, what grievances do you have in your heart, and your mother and grandmother are the masters for you, first persuade the fourth sister to let her lose what she has in her hand, don't hurt herself." ”

Aunt Zhang was not convinced, and shouted at Yijing with a sharp voice: "Wu Niang can't talk like this, but she has become her grievance, but today she rushed to my yard and couldn't help but say that she was smashing it, and she wanted to kill someone!" It's just a robber, Wu Niang, you have a long conscience, don't help outsiders bully your family! ”

Yijing was also so angry that the three souls went out of her body, and said coldly: "Auntie also said a few words, if there is such a big movement today, my mother and grandmother will inevitably be alarmed, which is right and which is not the two elders to distinguish, if you want to talk about your own family, the second aunt is the second lady of the Guogong Mansion, the second sister and the fourth sister's mother-in-law, where are the outsiders here?" ”

Seeing that the chaos had finally stopped, Yichen sighed lightly and went to persuade Siniang: "Fourth sister, I know that you are not such a foolish person, and you were also forced to panic, and now that the second aunt has also extinguished the fire, you have lost this thing, if you accidentally hurt yourself, how can you live?" Think of your grandmother, she's always the ...... you love the most."

Siniang heard that her mother was going to make trouble today, and hurriedly ran to dissuade her, but she still didn't have time, seeing so many sisters present, her mother scolded Aunt Zhang regardless of her identity, and those pickled words were endless, which really made people shameless, so she came up with a way to force her mother to stop, but she has been open and sparse since she was a child, and naturally she will not take death seriously, so she followed Yichen's persuasion and threw the gravel in her hand on the ground.

Yijing breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw Banniang sobbing out of the room, with a small face white, trembling and trembling to Aunt Zhang's side, seeing Yijing, it seemed that she wanted to say something and stopped, but finally didn't say a word, but bit her lip tightly.

Aunt Zhang is used to being rampant, where has she suffered such a big loss today, but she doesn't dare to make too much trouble in front of all the concubines, after all, she still has an evil fire in her heart, and she doesn't dare to rush to the beautiful scenery and Yichen, this time she saw Banniang, it was like seeing an outlet to vent her anger, and she couldn't help but slap it hard: "You useless money companion!" The old lady gave birth to you and raised you, and seeing outsiders bullying the door, you only know how to be a shrinking turtle, seeing that your mother was almost killed, what are you going to do here! ”

Banniang only felt that her eyes were dark, her mouth was full of fishy sweetness, her body fell to the ground as soon as she was soft, although her face was hot, she didn't feel pain, but her chest was like thousands of gold pig iron, crushed so that her internal organs became blood foam.

Yijing exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly went to help Banniang, Yichen couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and opened his mouth to reprimand angrily: "Auntie is so bold, dare to say that the lady of the Guogong Mansion is a money-accompaniment goods, in your eyes, how many of us are not accompaniment money?" I want to ask my aunt, what kind of identity are you, you dare to do it to Banniang, although you are Baniang's biological mother, but even your mother, the mother-in-law, has never done anything to her over the years, where is your turn to scold! ”

Aunt Zhang only cared about being angry, and she didn't expect Banniang to refute, but she never thought that Yichen, the concubine, would be upset for Banniang, the concubine, although she was domineering in front of her subordinates, she dared to shout with the Leech from a humble background, and dared to say a few words when she was young, but she didn't have the courage to talk to the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, but the hatred in her heart was not gone, and she couldn't admit her mistake with a soft face, so she had to be silent and bite her lips tightly.

Seeing that Banniang couldn't even cry, Yijing only leaned on her arms and gasped violently, her heart was full of hatred and pain, and she also glared at Aunt Zhang and said: "Big sister doesn't need to talk nonsense with such people, she only returns this matter to her mother and grandmother, and she will naturally be the master of Banniang!" ”

Suddenly, another little maid cried sharply, and stumbled from behind into the yardβ€”

"Someone's dead! Someone drowned in the well in the backyardβ€”"

This sound is like a silver thunderbolt under the clear sky, and it will end completely one after another.

Ritchie and Erniang looked at each other, instantly pale, Siniang's body shook, leaned softly on Yichen's body, a yard of maids and slaves seemed to have become stone sculptures, dumbfounded, Banniang's nurse followed by another howl-

"Poor Yinchai, he was forced to die by life!" Stumbling into the backyard.

Yi Jing was stunned for a moment, looking at the back of the nurse thoughtfully.

But I suddenly felt a pain in my arm.

looked down, but saw Banniang's pale little face faintly revealing a gray color, a pair of hands pinching her arms, trembling, crying red eyes in the depths, despair and fear overflowed.

Yijing couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously looked at Aunt Zhang, but saw that the anger on her face was also swept away, and she watched the back of Banniang's nurse disappear into the moon gate in the corner of the corridor blankly.

Things are very strange!

This is Yijing's first feeling, she has no impression of the name Yinchai, and there is no such a maid who fell into a well and died in her memory, so ...... This is another deviation from the previous life!

If this turmoil had happened in a previous life, even if he was young and ignorant, but in the end, he would have died, and he would definitely not be completely unimpressed, so is Yinchai's death because of his own rebirth?

No, it can't be.

Even if he came to Jin Guiyuan to dissuade him because he was worried about Banniang in this life, it would not lead to the death of a maid, and there was no causal relationship between the two things.

But what went wrong that caused this turmoil?

glanced at the stunned maids again......

The second aunt came to the door and made a move on Aunt Zhang, of course the maids of Jin Guiyuan would come out to help, but why did Banniang's nurse join the melee halfway with the broom? What was she doing before? Why did the little maid say that she had drowned, but the nurse immediately called out the name of the silver hairpin?

Is she so sure that the person in the well is the silver hairpin?

There is also Baniang......

The earlier desire to speak stopped, and the panic and fear at this time were just because of fear?

Thinking of this, Yijing almost immediately wanted to ask.

But seeing Banniang's panicked appearance, she still held back in the end, and only said to Yichen: "Big sister, there is a life now, I can't hide it from my grandmother, my eighth sister is scared, and it's a mess here, I'll take her back to Luqing Yuan first, and my grandmother has Sister Lao to report." He said to Siniang again: "The fourth sister will stay here first, watch the maids, don't let them walk around, and wait for Mama Yang to come and then theorize." ”

Yichen and Siniang woke up like a dream and acted separately.

Yijing didn't want to pay attention to Li and Erniang, so she asked Xia Yun to come over to help, and helped Banniang to go to Luqing Garden.

Sanniang always stood on the edge of the courtyard gate, and at this time, she saw that Yijing was calm and calm, and even gave orders, her eyes flashed, and she pursed the corners of her mouth unwillingly.
