Chapter 078: Harboring a Man's Belt

Luo Baiqian, who was already red-eyed, finally stopped, looked at the only one of his twin sons, his heart immediately softened, and the manic violence that wanted to kill a moment ago disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his son Wei Ge'er's face. Although he is about to have four children again, these twins are his eldest sons, two identical pink faces, two identical black eyes, even though it was born for him by that hated woman, he still loves this pair of sons to the bone, and now there is only this one left, how can he not pity him even more.

"Where's the nurse? What about the others in the Glass Hall? Are they all dead? Luo Baiqian shouted at the inner hall, "Come on, take Wei Ge'er into the house!" ”

Just now, the subordinates of Liulitang saw that the Dong family and Luo Bai were making more and more violent trouble, and most of them fled out of the courtyard to take refuge, and the only four or five people left in the back hall of the courtyard saw that the battle between the two ended with Luo Baiqian's victory, and they all ran out with a sigh of relief, wiping Wei Ge'er's tears, wiping their hands, touching their heads, and patting their feet.

In their Liuli Hall, the battle between the Dong family and Luo Baiqian has always been such that no one dares to interject more, because everyone clearly remembers that the Dong family's roommate, Qin'er, went up to persuade a few words because of one time, and finally ended up miserable.

That time, just because of that Qin'er's articulate voice and soft voice, Luo Baiqian paused the quarrel with the Dong family, turned his eyes on her delicate face twice, and then instantly dispelled his anger and went to his recording garden to study. Originally, everyone thought that the matter was successfully resolved, and they still praised Qin'er for her ability in their hearts, but after Luo Baiqian left, Dong suddenly jumped up from the head of the bed and slammed the door, locking her and Qin'er in the room. The people outside listened with their ears open for a long time, but they didn't hear any sound coming from inside, and after a while, Qin'er walked out of the house with her head down, her eyes were red like rabbit eyes, and she walked out of the glass hall without squeaking. The next morning, someone found Qin'er's body in the lotus pond behind the rockery.

Since then, the subordinates of Liulitang have been in awe of this young grandmother who spoke softly and raised her beautiful orchid fingers when she drank tea, and no one dared to be lazy and slippery under her nose. And there is still a quarrel between her and the eldest young master from time to time, every time she encounters this situation, the person who can find a reason to run out of the Liuli Hall for refuge will run out as soon as possible; If the place of the master's dispute happens to block their way out, as in today's situation, those who have the ability to go over the wall, and the people who have no ability will sneak into the pantry in the back hall, pretending to prepare tea for the master, and it will take half a day to prepare.

It's a pity, that Qin'er is the young grandmother's domestic wedding maid, presumably a confidant who has been with her for many years, Rao is like this, just because the eldest young master looked at her twice, so that in the end even lost her life, and there is still that maid in the glass hall who dares to do such an eye-piercing thing? Even if there were a few people who had any thoughts about the handsome and peerless young master in the past, when they saw that the eldest young grandmother was such an intolerable person, they didn't dare to think anything wrong at the moment, and secretly said that they might as well find an honest little mate seriously, at least they wouldn't die so miserable and terrible! I heard that when that Qin'er was salvaged, her head was swollen like a pig's head, and she could only be roughly identified by her clothes and a beautiful mole on her face......

"Wei Ge'er, why is he here? Didn't he just go to live with the eldest lady yesterday? Luo Baiqian asked angrily, "Where is his nurse?" "How can this be reasonable, even a three-year-old child can't look good, originally he was only a little close to solving the evil woman of the Dong family, but now not only did the Dong family not die, but also frightened his precious son, what did those subordinates do!

A slightly bold maid explained to Luo Baiqian in anger: "The eldest lady's head wind is not good, and she doesn't see anyone behind closed doors, the old lady and Mama Tang went out to pick up the third lady in the Taoist temple last night, and the nurse saw that the young master Wei was making a lot of noise in the eldest lady's Mujin Pavilion, and she couldn't send him to the old lady, so she had to bring him back to the Liuli Hall." Then, when the nurse saw that the young grandmother and the eldest young master were fighting at the gate, she was so frightened that she pulled up the little young master and ran away, but the little young master refused to leave, so the nurse fled for her life alone.

"Why don't you hurry up and take Wei Ge'er in and wait here for the chickens to hatch!" Luo Baiqian glared at the half-dead Dong family on the ground hatefully, gritted his teeth and sneered, "Dong Xinlan, don't think that this is the end of it, this man's belt is ironclad evidence that you stole people, and when the old ancestor comes back, I will take this to see her and ask her to take your adulteress off." However, if you have a meritorious service in giving birth to three children, our Luo family will not deduct any of your dowry, you pack your luggage, and go wherever you want! ”

When Wei Ge'er heard this, he was immediately anxious, and bit the hand of the maid who came up to hug him, crying and running over to hug Luo Baiqian's soap-soled boots, shaking it twice and shouting: "Dad, my mother didn't steal anyone, that belt is hidden under my pillow!" ”

Luo Bai scooped his son up from the ground in front of him, raised his eyebrows and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about, this is a big man's belt, how can you have this thing as a hairy boy!" Then without waiting for Wei Ge'er to say anything more, he snorted coldly at Dong again, and a mocking voice came out of his chest, "Dong Xinlan, Dong Xinlan, the son you taught is really the same heart as you, and he will even recognize your adulterer's things for you." Dong Xinlan, if you still have a little shame, hurry up and pack your luggage and leave the Luo family! I won't publicize your ugly things to the outside world, leave you a dignity, even if you and I are reconciled, let's get together and disperse! ”

Dong's face was covered with blood, and blood spurted out of his mouth when he spoke: "Poof, wronged, poof...... Okay, Luo Baiqian, okay, I kind of know! That belt is clearly something you brought yourself, and you deliberately wanted to slander and frame me, trying to drive me away from the Luo family! Luo Baiqian, you bastard who killed a thousand knives, is there someone outside you? You're just waiting for me to give her a room, right? Poof, surnamed Luo, you have no conscience like this, you can't die well! ”

Wei Ge'er bit Luo Bai heavily in front of him, making him let go of himself in pain. Everyone looked at Wei Ge'er in surprise, because he didn't run towards his mother, but ran to the bottom of the stone steps to pick up the belt, then turned around and ran back to Luo Baiqian's feet, rubbed the belt with his tiny fingers for a moment, and took out a snow-white silk from it and lifted it high. "Dad, mother, don't make any noise, this belt is really hidden under my pillow, because the couch is warmer than the ground, which can make my baby grow up faster!" Wei Ge'er raised the handkerchief to Luo Bai's nose.

Luo Baiqian frowned to see what the hell his son's "baby" was, and when he looked closely, he found that there were many small black dots and small gray dots on the shiny white silk, and if he looked more closely, the dots were slowly squirming......

"Yikes!" Luo Baiqian stepped back in horror and asked sharply, "What's that!" Will it still move, is it alive? Where did you get that, dead boy? ”

Wei Ge'er wiped a handful of tears and said: "These are my silkworm babies, when they grow up, they will look better than now, Dad, listen to me, it was really me who put them in my mother's house!" This belt was found in my aunt's house, and when I saw that she was left on the ground, I picked it up! ”

"Big sister?!" Luo Baiqian frowned and digested the amazing news from his son, "Threw a man's belt? ”

His sister-in-law Luo Baiying can be called "the first weird person in the Luo family", she has a cold temperament, and she is not in a hurry to marry at the age of twenty-three, which is very rare among the noble daughters of the entire southern family.

In response to the problem that many older men could not marry wives, the dynasty imposed strict legal restrictions on the number of years of marriage for women, in order to urge them to marry early. The law stipulates that after a woman reaches the age of nine, she can marry three or six people, and her name can be written in the marriage book of both parties. Moreover, if she does not marry at the age of 26, the woman has to pay three times the poll tax, and she has to go to the government household registration office every year to make a report to explain the reason for not marrying.

If that reason cannot be passed by the government, it is necessary to enter through the official media, divide the older women and older men according to the level of the portal, and then force these men and women to make up for each other. Of course, if one of the two parties resolutely disagrees, this matter cannot be reluctantly done, but it is so well known that the fingers of outsiders are enough to turn into public opinion pressure that makes an older woman decide to marry.

For example, after being full of wine and food, Zhang San would pick his teeth while pointing to the gate of the opposite house and say, Hiccup, that Li Si's sister is almost thirty years old, and she still refuses to marry, isn't there some hidden disease? Or is it that their family is a secret door at all, and the woman is a pheasant at all, and she wants to earn a little more before she is old and decrepit before she refuses to marry? Damn, what kind of world is this, women would rather be pheasants than marry, hiccup, so much labor and management are in their forties and they can't get a wife! Such words are said every day, every month, every year, everyone is full of food and support, and in the end, if Li Si's sister is not married, she will not be able to live on this street at all.

Mama Tang, who has never been married all her life, has also suffered this kind of pressure from public opinion, she did not have the current transcendent status back then, but she was just a face-saving maid of the second lady Chai. Usually the maids are older and do not marry, and they are all accepted by the male master of the house, and the half-concubine and half-maid stay in front of them to serve. Otherwise, as soon as they reach the appropriate age for marriage, they will be assigned to the little servants in the house by the master, and the better ones will be assigned to the stewards and housekeepers.

Many years ago, Mama Tang was almost thirty years old and still an old virgin, and the Chai family listened to other people's discussions after tea and dinner, so she found a good family for Mama Tang, which was to fill the house for an eight-grade official. On other maids, she was already crazy with joy, but Mama Tang still didn't want to, and stubbornly rejected this family business, after this incident, the people in Luodong Mansion looked at her strangely, as if she was not a person but some long-haired monster. It wasn't until later that the Chai family became the only direct elder lady in Luodong Mansion, and Mama Tang followed the chicken dog to heaven, and also became a person in power that everyone vied with, and at this time she had become a real old woman, and those gossiping people were bored to throw away this old-fashioned topic and turn to pay attention to those fresher and more interesting gossip.

All in all, in such an environment, if a woman wants to be alone, she can probably only go to the temple to be a sister-in-law, but Luo Baiying, the eldest lady of the Luo family, is a special case within a special case.

Normally, regardless of whether the young lady herself is in a hurry or not, as soon as the age is reached, her elders will naturally get anxious first. But what is puzzling is that Luo's family has such a twenty-three-year-old daughter, who is not ugly, stupid or disabled, and she has learned a lot of what other daughters have learned, but from the Zhao family, the eldest man to the old lady, these elders who like to help others talk to the matchmaker on weekdays never mention the question of discussing marriage to Luo Baiying, as if it is a very ordinary thing for Luo Baiying to still be in the boudoir at this age. Because the master has such a strange attitude, the people below don't dare to discuss this matter openly and secretly, for fear that others will expose him to the master, and he will be in danger of not being able to eat and walk around.

You must know that Luo Baiying is different from He Angelica, she is not like He Angelica, who is an embarrassing identity of fostering a girl with a foreign surname, until He Angelica got married, Luo Fu gave her the kind of treatment of half a young lady and half a maid, even if her marriage was ignored, it was purely normal. And Luo Baiying, as the eldest daughter of the long house of Luodong Mansion, although she is not pampered by her parents in the palm of her hand like Luo Baiqiong, and her relationship with her mother and wife is not very close, but Luo Baiying's food and clothing are by no means below Luo Baiqiong, and her status in the mansion is almost equal to that of Luo Baiqian, a "rare man".

As for the reason, it is strange, that is, the eldest lady Luo Baiying has been very close to the old lady since she was a child, and she is the most favored junior around the old lady. For this reason, the second wife also complained to the old lady a few times, blaming the old lady for not being warm with her granddaughter, and went to hold Luo Baiying, who was separated by a layer of belly, high. However, seeing Luo Baiying becoming an old woman day by day, the second wife secretly gloated in her heart, feeling that she had already had no comparison with her twelve-year-old Sister Qiong, who was as pink and delicate as a petal, so she no longer cared too much about the old lady's partiality.

Such a Luo Baiying, who was secretly named "the first weirdo of the Luo family...... Threw an old man's used belt? Luo Baiqian frowned, and asked his son suspiciously: "Brother Wei, when did you see your eldest aunt throwing her belt?" Don't talk nonsense, I'll be ready to check it out! ”

Wei Geer sobbed and shook his head and said, "Dad, I'm not talking nonsense! That day, the eldest aunt walked into the house with a man, and after a while the two of them began to throw clothes on the ground, and this belt flew the farthest, and flew to the door, I guess they didn't want their clothes to look good, so I didn't want them, so I picked them up and gave them to my silkworm baby! Dad, don't be angry, it's a big deal I'll return the belt to my aunt! ”

Luo Baiqian's face suddenly became colorful, as if he could find some of the colors...... The eldest sister who is older and unmarried...... Going to have an affair with a man?

"Woo-ah-ah-ah!" Dong, who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, suddenly began to cry loudly, "Oh my God, I'm more wronged than Dou E!" Now that the truth is finally revealed, God has eyes, justice is in the hearts of the people, who is a martyr and who is an adulteress, you can see it at a glance! I don't go out of the door all day, and God knows that I am innocent! Uhh

Luo Bai's face sank, not only did he not apologize for misunderstanding the Dong family just now, but he snorted coldly: "It's a shame that you are still a lady, I don't know which shrew in the market thinks this is a market shrew who is crazy!" How can the gibberish of a yellow-mouthed child be taken seriously? Shut up, or I want you to look good! ”

Dong has just suffered an injustice and was beaten by her husband, and now the truth has been revealed, but Luo Baiqian has no intention of bowing his head and admitting his mistake, where is Dong's willingness, anyway, she is out of the way today, and she doesn't want to lose face, just to ask Luo Baiqian to give her an explanation and promise to compensate her well in the future. So, Dong cried and screamed hoarsely, counting his contributions to the Luo family, telling his endless grievances, and then thinking of her just dead Brother Zhu'er, she cried more truly and was even more grief-stricken.

Luo Baiqian even drank several times to no avail, so he wanted to use force to solve the problem, just stepped forward and grabbed Dong's messy long hair, intending to drag her into the inner hall to cook slowly, Wei Ge'er pounced on his mother again. Luo Baiqian called for his subordinates to get Wei Ge'er away, so a group of subordinates came up from all directions, making the whole scene even more chaotic.

"Hey, borrowed." A bright red figure floated silently from outside the Liuli Hall, "Before I looked for Luo Bai, someone wrote a letter to him. ”
