Seventy-one

After eating, I called Xiaolan to come in and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I got up and said to Xuan Ye, "You can rest for a while!" I'll go see that sister-in-law", Xuan Ye also got up and said, "Let's go together!" I just asked about his husband", the sister-in-law was arranged in the west wing, before I got close to hear the child's cry, I knocked on the door, no one answered, I pushed the door in, I saw the sister-in-law sitting on the bed is nursing the child, I don't know whether there is no milk or how the child has been crying, the two older children are standing on the side of the bed is also teasing, but the child still keeps crying, seeing us come in the sister-in-law hurriedly put down the clothes, the child to the eldest child to carry, then got up and got out of bed to salute us, I hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, sit down!" Saying that, I turned around and saw Xuan Ye standing with his back to us, I secretly laughed in my heart He is still a gentleman, I took the little child who was still crying from the eldest child and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with the child?" Why do you keep crying? ”。

The sister-in-law sat on the edge of the bed and sighed: "It's all because I'm not in good health, I don't have milk to give him ......", oh! It turned out that I was hungry, I hurriedly called Xiao Lan outside the door and said: "Xiao Lan, go to the kitchen and let them steam a bowl of eggs", Xiao Lan agreed, I held the child and teased, this child looks very cute is a little boy, although the clothes on the body are shabby, but they are very clean, probably because the nutrition has not been able to keep up for a long time, the child is very thin, it is strange that I hugged and coaxed for a while, the child did not cry, looked at me with big eyes, I teased the child and asked: "Sister-in-law, how old is this child, is it one year old?" I looked at Xuan Ye, who was still facing away from us, and asked, "Sister-in-law, I heard that the child's father was arrested and sent to prison, what did he do?" I looked at her with a solemn face and said: "Don't think about it, sister-in-law, I'm just asking casually, if you want to say it, I won't ask", she said: "I know that both of you are good people, if it weren't for the two of you, I'm afraid my mother and son wouldn't even be able to save their lives, in fact, there is nothing that can't be said."

It happened that Xiaolan brought the steamed egg custard, and I said, "Xiaolan, you can take these two big ones out to play!" Let the guy send a pot of tea again", Xiaolan heard that she took the child out to play, the sister-in-law took the child from my hand and fed the child egg custard, the guy sent the tea in and then closed the door and went out, I poured a cup of tea for Xuan Ye and said: "Xianggong, come and drink tea!" He came over and sat down, because the egg custard was very hot, the sister-in-law slowly blew to feed the child, ate about half of it, the child was about full and not good to eat, I brought the child over, and the sister-in-law ate the rest of the egg custard and said: "I know that the child's father was wronged, I have followed him for more than ten years, I still know what kind of person he is", Xuan Ye said: "You say slowly, say it carefully, what did he do?" ”

The sister-in-law said: "Murder for money, adultery and murder", she cried as she spoke, and then she cried while crying: "He usually doesn't dare to kill chickens, how can he commit adultery and kill people?" I said: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, say slowly", she stabilized her emotions and sobbed: "The child's father is also a scholar, and he also won the show, and then because he had no money to give gifts, he didn't pass the exam several times in the future, and he had a child, so he couldn't go to be a teacher, and the family was even more nervous after I gave birth to this little one, and he was introduced by one of his classmates to a big family to be a private school for others, and the old man was very good at our child's father, and he also appreciated our child's father", she cried again, and Xuan Ye and I didn't speak, Let it cry and vent, the child was hugged by me and wanted to sleep, he just ate the egg custard I was afraid that he would fall asleep and then accumulate food, so I hugged it out, watching Xiaolan take the two big ones to play games outside, I said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, come here", and then said to Dongting and another guard guarding the door: "You two, who is going to play with those two children?" ”。

The two of them obviously didn't want to go, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the guards went, I gave the child in my arms to Xiaolan and said: "He just ate something don't let him fall asleep", Xiaolan said: "Yes, the slave knows", when Xiaolan took the child away, I turned around and went back to the house and closed the door, only to hear the sister-in-law say: "Who knew that the old man died somehow, Mrs. sued the official, and finally said that he was poisoned, Mrs. said that our child's father and their second wife have an abnormal relationship, and the government should strictly investigate, After the government investigated, it was said that our child's father had committed adultery with the second wife, and he was afraid that the master would find out and poisoned him, and the case had been decided, and the second lady and my father-in-law were both sentenced to death", and I cried again, I poured her a cup of tea and said, "Who is your child?" How old are you? She cried: "It's the second lady, it seems that she is only more than five years old, and the eldest lady has only one daughter who is already married", I said "oh", and Xuan Ye, who had not spoken, asked: "How can you guarantee that your husband is wronged?" The sister-in-law sighed: "I have lived with him for so many years, I still know who he is, and he will never do such a thing."

Xuan Ye said: "Sister-in-law, I take care of this matter, don't worry, if your father-in-law is wronged, I will definitely not let him die unjustly", sister-in-law heard the words and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Thank you son, thank you madam, if my father-in-law can get the help of the son, the little woman is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the son and Mrs.", I stepped forward to help her up and said: "Sister-in-law, get up quickly", when she got up, I said: "Sister-in-law, your first thing now is to take care of your body and take care of your three children, you can rest assured, if your father-in-law is really wronged, We will definitely save him."

Coming out of his sister-in-law, Xuan Ye said, "Qing'er, can you go out for a walk with me?" I nodded and followed him out of the inn, there was a small river not far from the inn, we walked to the river, there were ferrymen in the river to cross the river, we went south along the river, Dongting and Mingzhu followed from afar, Xuan Ye He didn't speak, I saw that he frowned and teased him and said, "I'll ask you a question, okay?" He wondered, "What's the problem?" I laughed and said, "Listen! With watermelon and stone on the head, which one hurts? He said: "Of course it's a headache", I heard him answer so quickly and answered correctly and asked: "There is a word, everyone reads it wrong, may I ask what word it is?" He said, "Typo, of course everyone mispronounces", and I said, "What is the first thing people do when they wake up in the morning?" He said: "Open your eyes", I can't be difficult for you in my heart, look at me to ask you a difficult question.
