Chapter 029: Taishan faints twice
Zhenjing didn't think so, thinking that He Angelica was joking with her. However, she suddenly remembered a big drama staged in the Taoist Temple this morning, where could she care about what kind of rice she was eating in her bowl, and immediately told He Angelica about it vividly.
In the morning, when Zhenjing was fetching water, she passed by the main hall and saw her senior sisters and sisters surrounded by her inside and outside the hall door, and the expressions on their faces were very happy. So, Zhenjing tiptoed to look in, it turned out that Huai Dong and Huai Xin were fighting in front of Taishan, and the fight was even more fierce than last night.
- Anyway, last night, after Taishan went back, as long as the matter of stealing the lock did not spread and affected the reputation of the Taoist temple, it was an insignificant trivial matter. However, the matter of the fire is related to Jinyiwei, regardless of whether their conclusion is careless or deliberate arson, the Taoist temple must find a "culprit" and hand it over to Jinyiwei, so that they can vent their anger, so as not to implicate the Taoist temple. In Huai Dong and Huai Xin, Tai Shan immediately chose Huai Xin, she had done things for Taichen in the past, and Tai Shan had long looked at her unpleasantly. Although Huai Dong stole something and lost someone, who made her son like her, stealing is not a big problem, let's pull her again.
So, this morning, Taishan ordered someone to detain Huaixin and ask her to explain the "fact" that she forgot to turn off the fire after cooking. But Huaixin is not a soft persimmon, and at the moment he put the blame for the fire on Huaidong's head, and he had to call Huaidong to confront him. After Huai Dong arrived, he sneakily pulled Huai Xin aside to speak. The two of them muttered something under Taishan's nose, which made Taishan very suspicious, and he didn't know what these two people were tired of.
In the end, Huai Dong and Huai Xin suddenly broke down, and the two of them beat and scolded, revealing each other's secrets.
Huai Dong broke the news that Huai Xin got along with Liu Laojiu in the kitchen, and slipped to Liu Laojiu's room in the middle of the night shamelessly, and came back at dawn. And Huaixin's revelation was even more shocking, saying that Huai Dong not only didn't have menstruation for two months, but also secretly boiled fetal pills to drink, and he must have hooked a wild man outside and conceived a wild seed.
Everyone looked at Taishan, because Huai Dong and Taishan's nephew Ma Tai got along, which was a hot topic a year ago. Now that they've been good for so long, it's not surprising that there is a kind. Who knew that Taishan's face changed greatly, and he ran up and spit on Huaidong's face, and fought without a head and face. Everyone is strange, even if Huai Dong is unmarried and pregnant, it is also the flesh and blood of Taishan's nephew, at most, he has returned the vulgar to get married, can he be ruthless like this? Or is it ......
said that it was too late and that was fast, Huai Dong cried and shouted the most powerful sentence of the day, which feasted everyone's ears.
She said, "Let me tell you, Mattei is not Taishan's nephew, but her own son!" Taishan was so angry that his whole body trembled, pushed Huai Dong down, and stepped on Huai Dong's face. Huai Dong scolded too good again, she usually lacked virtue and did too much, and she was repaid for her son, and the son she gave birth to was not only mentally retarded, but also a real man.
So everyone understood why Taishan was angry when he heard that Huai Dong was pregnant. It turns out that the ...... of that Tygo, Tygo's turned out to be a natural eunuch.
Taishan looked up and looked around, and saw that the entire Taoist temple was looking at him with a smile, all pointing and saying something, Taishan was so angry that he fainted. After that, Huai Dong wiped the blood and mud on his face, took advantage of the gap when everyone carried Taishan away, ran out of the corner gate of the main hall, wrapped a big burden and ran out of the Taoist temple.
On the other side, Huaixin quietly went to the kitchen to find Liu Laojiu, wanting him to take her away, but Liu Laojiu was no longer in the kitchen. She went to Liu Laojiu's room to see again, and the people and luggage were gone. I cried heartily, knowing that I couldn't stay in the Taoist temple anymore, so I packed up my things and went down the mountain.
After Taishan woke up, he heard that Huaidong had rolled up his burden and ran away, so he ran outside the warehouse in a panic and asked Zhenzhu to call someone to smash the door lock with an axe, find out all the ledgers and manifests, and thoroughly check the inventory. When I found out halfway through, I had already lost more than forty taels of silver, and the candles and sesame oil were also missing fifteen catties. A group of veterans-level Taoist aunts who used to be jealous of Huai Dong and took advantage of the fat shortage now all jumped out and sneered, and there was no respect in their words, and there were thorns in their words, which made Taishan stunned again.
Zhenzhu asked someone to carry Taishan back to the room, and on the other hand, he asked someone to find a new lock, lock the warehouse first, and then continue to check the accounts after Taishan woke up. When he was busy, Huaiwen suddenly ran in from outside, and said to Zhenzhu that the Luo family had sent someone to pick up Miss He.
Zhenzhu wiped the sweat from her forehead, remembering that He Angelica had said before that she would take Zhenjing away when she left, but Zhenjing was a small worker who owed the rent to the field and was detained in the Taoist temple. If Taishan knew about it after waking up, even if she didn't dare to go to Luofu to beg for help, she would go to the bottom of the mountain to find the bad luck of Zhenjing's father. Thinking of this floor, Zhenzhu left behind the crowd in a mess and ran back to her room alone.
Zhenzhu remembers clearly that when Zhenjing first came to the Taoist temple, her family owed the Taoist temple five acres of land for two years' field rent, a total of three taels and two dollars of silver. Now it is five years later, if the interest of the money bank is calculated, the principal and interest add up to four taels and nine coins of silver; According to the interest rate of private loans, it is higher, about eight taels of silver; But if according to the black interest of Taishan, there is no thirty or forty taels of silver, and I really want to walk out of the door of the Taoist temple. Even if she goes to Luo's house with her today, she will be endlessly entangled in the future according to her Taishan temperament.
Zhenzhu sighed, she sued her ex-husband's family back then, and the land deed and one thousand taels of silver tickets were stored in Yangzhou's big money village, thinking that she would save a coffin book when she was old. Now only forty taels of loose silver are left, and they are sent to the money village in Rabbit Town at the foot of the mountain, and less than half of them have been spent in the past four years. Yangzhou's money is far from quenching the thirst of the near, how can Zhenjing leave smoothly? The real pearl, who had no idea, dotted a small bag in the room. It's just that she doesn't like to dress up, she doesn't have a few good pieces of jewelry, and a bag of hairpins and copper coins is worth less than ten taels of silver.
At this time, Zhenzhu remembered the first time she saw He Angelica, the other party's determined expression in her chest, and she couldn't help but feel a light in her heart, maybe He Angelica had already come up with a good way? So, Zhenzhu carried a small bag of fine soft and ran to the east chamber to see if there was anything to help or money.
He Angelica heard that the Luo family came to pick him up, and his first reaction was that now she can't take Zhenjing away!
Last night, He Angelica had a stalemate with Taishan, and both sides took off their "friendly" masks, and each saw a clear hatred in each other's eyes. Too good and hated He Angelica for being too smart and unwilling to obediently accept the charge of arson. And He Angelica's hatred for Taishan continued to his previous life, not to mention Taishan's various abuses of himself in his childhood, as long as he remembered her face of going to Ningwangfu for blackmail that year, He Angelica imagined a variety of ways to die for her in his heart.
Zhenjing has long been divided into He Angelica's party by everyone, once Zhenjing is left, she will return to the Luo family by herself, and Zhenjing's situation can be imagined. Looking at Zhenjing's stupid appearance of a young man who didn't know what it was like to be sad, He Angelica immediately decided to give up this opportunity to return to Luo's house. Hibernation, for a better time later.
After eating a bowl full of bibimbap with Zhenjing, He Angelica changed into an apricot-yellow dress and planned to go to Kuqiao Courtyard. Whether you want silver or true tranquility, you need to focus on the contemplation of the Lord's breath.
※※※
Zhenzhu went to the warehouse first, and saw that the brand new door lock had been closed, and the lively group of people had also dispersed.
So, she walked unhurriedly to the mountain gate, and at a distance she saw two old women standing in front of a small gray sedan chair, one of whom seemed to have waited impatiently, and kept shaking his legs and shaking his feet.
Zhenzhu looked at it again and couldn't help but be stunned. The little gray sedan chair doesn't look like the Luo family's sedan chair, but it looks like the private sedan chair of the footman door at the foot of the mountain, the kind that hangs money for an hour.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhenzhu approached, he saw three bare-chested men squatting at the gate of the mountain smoking dry cigarettes. When they saw a young long-haired Dao Gu coming out of it, with a slender figure and a beautiful face, they immediately looked up and down with undisguised presumptuous eyes, and finally stared at one place.
Gao Dashan was dressed as a servant, and she was frowning and pinching a toothpick to pick her teeth, but when she saw that the person who came was Zhenzhu, she immediately had a smile on her face.
Zhenzhu couldn't help but ask her, "Didn't the Luo family send their own sedan chair to pick up Miss He?" Are you going to let her sit down the mountain like this? Is this what your old lady told me about? At the end of the question, there was a bit of cold reproach in his tone.
Zhenzhu used to be the head of a wealthy family, and the rules of many large families were clear.
For example, the rules for riding a sedan chair, the soft sedan chair for the young lady who has not left the cabinet must be carried by a special strong servant. I really can't get together enough manpower, so when I can only let the big man of the sedan chair carry it, I must let the sedan chair man avoid it first, and then call the sedan chair man back when the lady enters the sedan chair. It's the same when you get off the sedan chair, you have to dismiss the sedan chair driver first, and then let the lady come out, and you must not let the two sides have contact.
Not to mention the Luo family, a big family like the bell ringing and dining, and even the nouveau riche who opened a restaurant like the Zhenzhufu family, all strictly follow this rule.
Zhenzhu remembers clearly that once her "former" sister-in-law was in a hurry to get off the sedan chair, and as soon as the sedan chair stopped and did not wait for the sedan chair driver to leave, she got out of it, and tripped and was helped by the sedan chair driver. Later, when the "former" mother-in-law learned about this, she was furious, and even Zhenzhu was reprimanded by her "former" husband.
In a large family, only a wife or aunt who has been married and has had children, can avoid the death rules of the sedan chair man and the coachman be relatively relaxed. And if the young lady who has not left the cabinet is found to have not kept these rules, it will be greatly detrimental to her reputation, and even there will be a blame stain when discussing marriage in the future.
Gao Dashan's family laughed: "Master Zhenzhu, you can't tell me this, I'm also an errand runner, who doesn't want to sit in a sedan chair, but the family just didn't send a sedan chair!" With that, he put his mouth close to Zhenzhu's face, lowered his voice and said, "That...... It is the second wife's companion room, Ding Rong's family. She said that the second wife was busy and had a headache, so there was no need to alarm her for such a trivial matter, and the two of us would just pick it up ourselves. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I still paid the money for hiring a sedan chair, I don't know if I will go back to the account room to report the official account......"
Zhenzhu listened so angrily and funny, there is still this kind of truth in the world!
The sedan chair of the Luo family, I'm afraid there are not three or four hundred, but there is no one to pick up a young lady? The servant women of the Luo family, who said that there were a thousand, said that there were less than three people to carry the sedan chair? Even if someone deliberately treats Miss Cousin with a foreign surname, what to do when the door is closed is a family business, so that even the things on the table are done so excessively, right? The Luo family doesn't even want face?
It's just that Zhenzhu doesn't know that there is another reason for this. is the second lady of the Luo family, who has been disliking her niece He Angelica for many years, which is no secret in the Luo family. Moreover, the night after He Angelica came back from the dead, the eighth young master of the second lady's mother's family and the second lady's younger brother suddenly died.
The second lady Sun is the daughter of the Sun family, and her mother is an unfavored concubine, who is old and decrepit. I never thought that her old tree would bloom, and she gave birth to a son at the age of forty-three. Master Sun is old and has a son, and he loves him very much, and even his mother and sister with the eighth young master have been stained a lot, and now they are dying. Sun's mother cried so much that she was scratching her heart and lungs, and Master Sun closed the door of the study and didn't see anyone.
After finishing the funeral, Sun returned to Luo's house, and the first thing she heard after entering the door was that the third lady had come back from the dead, and many courtyards were still lit up to celebrate, and she was immediately angry.
After that, the old lady sent someone to ask the Sun family to start taking care of the family again, and sent someone to Shuishangguan as soon as possible to pick up the third lady back to her home, and then add some more sesame oil money to Shuishangguan, in order to thank the gods in heaven for blessing the descendants of the Luo family. After the messenger left, Sun raised his hand and overturned the table. Her younger brother died suddenly, and the mourning star was already dead, but he came back to life, why?!
