Chapter 34: The Dagger Storm (I)

Ban was first happy that Wu Manniang was pregnant, and went to the big house to see it in person, and now he has dealt with two things in succession, and he also feels tired, so he sent Zhuo Zhaojie and You Can to play by himself.

The two cousins came out of Duanyi Garden, and You Can mentioned You Chi's reaction just now: "The third brother looks like he has been wronged in the academy? ”

"I look at ......it too," Zhuo Zhaojie hesitated a little, "I don't know why?" Isn't the third cousin still apprenticed yet? ”

"It's just a coincidence that he came back, the third aunt had a quarrel with the third uncle a few days ago for Cuiqiao's matter, and was reprimanded by his grandmother again, the third brother went over, I'm afraid the third aunt probably didn't have the heart to comfort him, but wanted to tell the third brother." You Can shook his head and said, "It's just that although the third brother doesn't like to talk, he has always been honest and diligent, not such a lazy person...... The academy is thinking about his grandfather, and no one should embarrass him, right? What's going on? ”

You Can guessed casually, she said unintentionally, but Zhuo Zhaojie listened with a heart, and couldn't help but change his face slightly-he thought that You Ruoheng had personally sent Zhuo Zhaocui to the academy not long ago and greeted Cui Nanfeng in person...... Before that, the younger generations of the You family went to the academy to study, and they all had to be assessed like ordinary people, not to mention, You Ruoheng thought that Yueshan was very close to Moling, and he had not sent it in person......

Zhuo Zhaocui had only been in the academy for a few days, and everyone could see that You Chi was unhappy to come back, could it be that he resented his grandfather's partiality as much as the third lady?

It stands to reason that You Chi should have a grudge against this matter, after all, he is the serious descendant of the You family, besides, even according to Zhuo Zhaocui's words, Zhuo Fangli can't attack the lord, but he is still a four-rank loose official, the marquis's concubine, how to say it, he can have a little foundation, but You Zhen is a white body, and because he likes to take concubines and save maids, the little money every month has never been accumulated, otherwise the third lady would not be so anxious to take the place of Wu Manniang's housekeeper, it is nothing more than to take this opportunity to save some 'private' room......

But You Chi was admitted to Huaixing Academy back then, and he wholeheartedly worshiped Cui Nanfeng's 'door' until now, You Ruoheng has never said a word for his grandson, but now he is concerned about his grandson in every way, and Zhuo Zhaojie can't help but be weak-hearted.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The third lady didn't go to Duanyi Yuan to cry out for her son that day, and Zhuo Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he got up the next day, but when he thought about it, he felt that he was overly nervous - the third lady was easy to be impulsive, but she was not so stupid as to confront the elders with such a clear knife and gun, so even the family was a scholar.

It's just that in the afternoon, she was gossiping with Ban in Duanyi Garden, and she was shouting all the way to the 'door' outside, the third lady was wearing a cloak, her cheeks were high and swollen, and she crashed into the 'door' alone, crying and running to Ban's and kneeling suddenly: "Please let my mother let my husband leave me and go home!" ”

Ban was originally very calm, but he was already very unhappy when he heard the noise before, but now the third lady knelt down and pounced like this, almost pushing her off the low couch, Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly helped her, Ban stabilized at this time, and said angrily: "What is this going to do?" ”

"Just for a few quarrels, the husband actually beat the daughter-in-law to the ground and kicked it in front of the people in the third and fourth rooms, what face does the daughter-in-law have to continue to stay now?" The third lady grabbed the corner of Ban's robe and asked rhetorically.

Zhuo Zhao swept the light, and saw that there were traces of dirt on the skirt on her side, pursed her lips, and planned to retire.

It's just that she hasn't gotten up yet, and the figure at the entrance of the 'door' flashed, but it was the fourth lady Bian who hurriedly chased after her, first greeted Ban's family, and didn't have time to pay attention to Zhuo Zhaojie's salute, and asked apologetically: "Third sister-in-law, are you okay?" ”

"I want you to fake kindness!" The third lady replied with hatred, "I said that it was just a look, and I didn't say that I had to take it back, that thing Xuanlang himself said that it was not his, you were so distressed, you picked up your husband and openly beat me and kicked me, and now I have no face to stay in Youjia anymore, are you satisfied?" ”

The fourth lady's face quickly turned red when she heard this, and she stood there helpless for a long time before she said, "The third sister-in-law misunderstood, how dare I...... How could I think that? I...... I just heard Xuanlang say that he picked it up, and I thought...... Thinking that such a valuable thing is better to report to the official, then I really didn't know that the third uncle was outside. ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "But for the dagger that the sixth cousin picked up?" ”

Ban Shi was originally listening with a 'yin' face, but when he saw Zhuo Zhaojie speak, he frowned and said, "What's going on?" How did even Xuan Lang get involved? ”

When the third lady heard her ask, she cried: "Chi Lang was not very interested in coming back yesterday, and the daughter-in-law thought that he was studying hard, so she got up early today and boiled him a bowl of 'chicken' soup, so she asked someone to take it to his room, and by the way, I asked him how he was doing in the academy recently!" ”

Speaking of this, she sighed and continued, "I didn't want to be in his house, but Xuan Lang happened to be there, so I took the dagger and showed it to Chi Lang, and the daughter-in-law looked at the dagger...... Familiar...... Only...... I asked a few more words, and it happened that the four brothers and sisters went back to Xuanlang, and after listening to the words of the daughter-in-law's 'wife', they thought that the daughter-in-law 'wife' wanted to rob it! ”

The more she talked, the more angry she became, "The daughter-in-law couldn't hear it, and said a few words to the fourth brother and sister, and it happened that the husband also went to visit Chi Lang, and listened to the words of the fourth brother and sister, and it was ...... In front of the younger generations...... Fight against the daughter-in-law'! ”

The third lady howled and cried!

Ban said with a 'yin' face: "How can I hear that Zhaojie also seems to know that Xuanlang has a dagger there?" Or picked up? ”

The fourth lady didn't dare to speak, Zhuo Zhaojie secretly scolded himself for talking too much, so he had to say: "That's the case, last time I and my sixth cousin went fishing with my grandfather to Qingcao Lake, Xuanlang took a dagger and showed off to me, saying that he picked it up by accident, and waited in the same place for a long time and didn't see the master go back to find it, so he stayed for a while, at that time, I saw that the dagger was embedded with three East Pearls, looking extraordinary, I was afraid that it was a thief, so I persuaded the sixth cousin to tell my grandfather to report to the official, but ...... Forget about it while playing. She saw that the third lady was already holding on to the fourth lady, and the fourth lady was notoriously weak, so she didn't dare to say that You Xuanshe had to be willing to report.

Ban Shi was stunned, this matter, since the third lady scolded the fourth lady, even Zhuo Zhaojie understood, it must have been You Xuan heard that You Chi was back, and ran over to show off the dagger to You Chi, but was bumped into by the third lady - You Xuan was reluctant to take the dagger to report to the official, because he liked its sharpness, the third lady, most likely took a fancy to the three valuable Dongzhu on the dagger sheath......

If You Xuan was directly asked to pry down the three Dongzhu to give to the third lady, it is estimated that You Xuan would not care, but You Chi was also there at that time, and the third lady went to deliver 'chicken' soup to her son, so she couldn't pull this face and make this request...... Therefore, when he heard that You Xuan had also picked it up, he couldn't help but think about it, and he looked familiar with it...... Maybe it was said that he dropped it.

After all, You Xuan is young, and he will not be too suspicious of his aunt, but at this time, the fourth lady also went to find her son...... Bian's 'sexual' personality is a bit like Bai Zihua, weak and unassertive, so he takes the words of her husband and elders as the most reasonable, You Ruoheng teaches the younger generation to be upright and upright, not greedy for other people's things, although You Xiao has read and read, the 'sex' personality is in the same vein as You Ruoheng, Bian is influenced by his father-in-law and husband, since he heard that he picked it up, of course, he also wants You Xuan to report to the official like Zhuo Zhaojie.

Where is the third lady willing to let the three Dongzhu slip away from under her eyelids?

What's more, everyone in the You family knows that the fourth lady is weak and can be bullied, and if someone else says this, the third lady may have to be more afraid and restrained, the fourth lady...... The third lady is not afraid of her.

When the two were grinding, they were just in time for You Zhen to come over, and he didn't know the habit of the third lady to take advantage of it? Besides, the Lian family is a family of scholars, and no one dances a knife to 'get' a gun, where did the third lady get the dagger? !

Although You Zhen is so 'lustful' and incompetent, he has always been the most face-saving, and he heard that his wife even wanted to 'Meng' a dagger that his eight-year-old nephew picked up by chance, or in front of his younger siblings who insisted on reporting to the official, how could he bear it? Coupled with the things of Cuiqiao a few days ago...... So he did it.

This happened, because Zhuo Zhaojie had seen the dagger by the grass lake before, so the third lady guessed the general story when she scolded the fourth lady, and Ban listened to Zhuo Zhaojie's explanation that there were three eastern pearls on the dagger, and he also knew it in his heart.

When the third lady saw that Zhuo Zhaojie actually knew about this, her face was a little panicked, and she didn't dare to shout that she wanted to leave her studies and go home. ”

"Daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law is just a casual glance. The third lady didn't dare to raise her head, and the hand that was still holding the corner of Ban's clothes timidly let go, and whispered, "Just ...... It felt like I'd seen it somewhere. ”

Ban Shi looked at her deeply: "Really? Then you have to take a look, according to the Zhao Festival, the dagger is not a vulgar thing, it can be worthy of three East Pearl inlaid sheath decoration, and the value of the dagger itself must be above the East Pearl! I've never heard of such a good thing in the family...... I actually made you a dowry? Mo didn't want to call Chi Lang Wenwu Shuang. Repair? ”

The third lady didn't dare to speak.

It is said that You Zhen beat her in public, the wife who is marrying in the Ming media, not only the third lady has a reason to run to Ban's to cry and complain about her grievances, but if even the family knows, it is a matter of course for someone to go to the 'door' to ask what is going on, and a serious wife is not a slave concubine bought in for a few taels of silver, and others will be beaten to death!

But now it was the third lady who was greedy for the things that her nephew picked up and was bumped into by You Zhen, and she didn't do it until she lost her face, if this thing spread, even the 'daughter' of the family would be laughed at, not to mention going to the 'door' to get justice for her, it would be good not to send someone to ask her to go back and reprimand her for being greedy!

Thinking of this section, where does the third lady dare to pester the fourth lady? But even You Zhen didn't dare to beat himself in front of people.

Seeing that she was soft, Ban didn't want to continue to be uneasy in the third room, after all, he always had to give You Chi some face, sighed in his heart, and stopped asking about the dagger, but said: "You treat Chi Lang with your heart, even the bowl of soup has to be boiled by yourself, such a mind is also used on Zhen Lang!" ”

The third lady said aggrievedly: "Husband, he thinks that his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is not as good as that of Ling'er and Meiniang in the past......"

"Then you can ask his favorite cook to make it and send it yourself!" Ban Shi glanced at her unhappily, hating that iron could not become steel, "Chi Lang is almost at the age of saying kiss, you are still so unstable!" Like today! Do you feel ashamed in front of your siblings, sons, and nephews? In two years, your daughter-in-law will enter the 'door'? Do you want to go through that again? Since you look back and know that you are embarrassed, why don't you think about talking and doing things at that time?! ”

The third lady was scolded speechless, so she had to cry: "Mother, the daughter-in-law knows that it is wrong. ”

"Zhenlang doesn't like to talk either!" Seeing that she admitted her mistake, Ban had to give her a round face in the end, otherwise it would be really unreasonable to make a fuss in the third room with 'chickens' and flying dogs, so he ordered Sango, "Go and call him!" ”

Seeing this scene, the third lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Ban didn't care about what she had just begged to go, and wanted to help her make a big deal smaller.
