Chapter 10: Roots
Aunt Nazha took the medicine, and in the middle of the night, she felt a little more comfortable, and fell asleep in a daze.
Only then did the old lady gather the people in the house and wait for the Beifu hall to lecture and hold them accountable.
This question asked a few accidents.
The old lady was the first to know that the wolfdog was present, and the attack caused Aunt Nazha to be frightened. She asked, "Where did the dog come from?" ”
Cao's expression of grievances was all about crying, so Guiyuan replied, she said: "We don't know, my wife heard the dog barking, and heard someone running to say that there was a big wolf dog biting someone in the fence bamboo garden. Therefore, the wife ignored the danger and asked someone to take the guy to protect her. When the wife came, it happened that the aunt fell to the ground, and if it wasn't for the wife's strength to disperse, the consequences would be unimaginable. Our wife was caught by a dog! ”
As he spoke, the servants brought in the dead Erlang God. The old lady put on her glasses and looked at it for a while, saying that this dog was not domestic, and the coat color was so familiar, and after holding it for a while, she remembered: "The wolf dog in Dongfu has not been disposed of?" ”
Therefore, he glared at Qin and Zhuang Hu angrily.
The Qin family and Zhuang Hu were dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, very wronged, and did not dare to speak back.
The old lady said angrily: "Go, call the eldest master to me!" ”
When the servant was about to go out, another girl of the Cao family, Yuyuan, hurriedly came out and knelt down, crying: "Old lady, where did this beast come from, why do you need to ask the master, I will know where to fight." ”
Yu Yuan looked like a handful of tears and snot, and said: "In the morning, Mrs. went to the old lady to ask for peace, and the fence bamboo garden cast spells and worship demons here." Most of them are youkai that they brought on themselves. Yesterday I also heard that they have monsters here. But our wife didn't believe this, and the old lady told her not to spread these rumors. We didn't say it. If you don't believe it, the old lady asked the people below, see if it is? ”
Saying that, Zhuang Xuan also stepped out and echoed: "There is indeed such a thing, and I also scolded the girls." I thought it was a rumor. Later, I went to Dongfu to find the fourth sister, and Sister Qi and Sister Xuan were also there, and they all knew about it. ”
After listening to this, the old lady stared at Zhuang Qi for a while, and then looked at Lu Qi, but she couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, the old lady said, "Ridiculous! Are there any demons and ghosts in the world? Could it be that this wolf dog is also a monster? You don't need to give the old man a step, this dog is clearly a scourge he brought back from the north. ”
In fact, the second old man Zhuang Lu knew the origin of the dog, but he was afraid of being scolded and implicated, so he didn't say anything, and he was also thinking about how to deal with it.
Zhuang Xuan remembered that his mother Cao was scared by the dog yesterday, and he was involved with Yi Linglong, and thought about whether to poke this matter in a bucket, so that Yi Linglong could take responsibility, and was about to speak, only to see Guiyuan stand up.
Gui Yuan said: "Old lady, I still know something, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
The old lady said angrily: "Say! ”
Gui Yuan timidly glanced at Yi Linglong, then at Yu Qi, and said, "Yesterday, I seemed to see Miss Yi playing with this dog. If I said who brought it in, I didn't dare to say anything else, nor did I dare to say that it was the eldest master, but I seemed to see the girl and the dog getting close. It doesn't matter what the dog's name is 'Erlang God'. My wife often said that the Fence Bamboo Garden is different from the Fuzhong, after all, it is an outsider, and there are some people who are not familiar with our rules, so I didn't say anything when I saw this. Today, I saw Miss Qi also playing with this dog. Presumably they are going to be good. Just now, the jade yuan said that the fence bamboo garden worships the gods, it is a little frightened and overly frightened, and she is talking nonsense, please let the old lady spare her. ”
Yu Qi wanted to explain to herself, but where was the opportunity to export, Gui Yuan called the girl to testify, saying that Miss Qi did come to Beifu to find his wife today. When the old lady asked Cao, Cao said that he hadn't seen Yu Qi. Later, the girl testified that Miss Qi and Sanxi were abducted to the deserted courtyard.
This led out of the place where the wolf dog was closed.
The old lady ordered people to go to the deserted yard to look, and when they got there, they saw no shadow of a wolf dog, but a few torn handkerchiefs on the ground. The torn handkerchief was scattered all the way to the outside of the bamboo garden.
The man who went out to pick up the broken veil came back and showed it to the old lady. The old lady looked, there were no words. And the people passed it down and looked at it. The girls all felt familiar, and they said that it was not Yu Qi's hand-embroidery?
The handkerchief was in Yu Qi's hand, and she looked at it, and the embroidered one on it was: Fire Phoenix Title Jin Ruyi.
This handkerchief was originally given to Cao. When embroidering handkerchiefs at the beginning, Yu Qi figured out the character and position of the people in the house, and made handkerchiefs, and each person's embroidery patterns were different. It is a phoenix embroidered for Cao's family, and she wants to use the domineering and precious of the phoenix to describe Cao's, and then Jin Ruyi satirizes her appearance of worshipping gold. At that time, Cao Shi gave Yu Qi a pair of Nanmu chopsticks, sarcastically mocking her from outside, and warning her to learn to know how to handle life. Therefore, Yu Qi added Jin Ruyi to ridicule Cao's worship of money and look down on people.
This broken veil went from the deserted courtyard to the fence bamboo garden, and the discerning person could see that someone was deliberately breaking the veil and attracting the dog to infest. It's just that no one will suspect Cao's, just now the girl said that Yi Linglong and Yu Qi are close to dogs, except for Yi Linglong to attract dogs, the other person who can attract dogs is Yu Qi.
This handkerchief embroiderer is hers, the obvious result.
The old lady wanted to protect her, but she couldn't say a word at the moment, and she didn't have to say anything.
Yu Qi grabbed the broken handkerchief, his heart was cold, and then he looked around at the people around him, and all of them looked at him questioning. Yu Qi pondered in his heart: I can't say that this is given to the Cao family by myself, after all, the pattern, except for his own people, only Cao's people know; It was given to the Cao family that day, although Zhuang Hu was present and didn't see it carefully, she definitely didn't come out to testify, and besides, Zhuang Hu must not be willing to wade into troubled waters.
However, Yu Qi still argued for himself, put aside his handkerchief and said something else, and said, "I heard that Mrs. Tou was frightened by a dog, so I came to see it today." Later, when I saw that my wife was angry, I made a detour from the gate of the courtyard, wanting to stop by to see my aunt. ”
Although it is far-fetched to use this to argue for oneself, it is true! It's just that I didn't really come to see my aunt, but to question Yi Linglong. Why don't you dare to ask Linglong directly? Because Zhuang Pu caused a murder for Mr. Guan, the old lady is still hidden, so here, Yu Li can't say that he is looking for exquisite intentions, for fear that the old lady will ask and expose the stuffing, and the situation will expand to implicate Xifu and Zhuang Pu.
The old lady said, "So, it has nothing to do with you?" In this way, the wolf dog's first day is here, and your wife in Beifu has known about it for a long time? ”
Yu Qi said aggrievedly: "Please let the old lady know." ”
Yu Qi knew that now that he pointed out and hinted that the Cao family was a ghost, the Cao family must have hated himself. Therefore, Yu Qi replied to the old lady and glanced at Cao slightly. Cao gritted his teeth and looked angry.
The old lady glanced at Cao's slightly, and didn't pursue it directly, but only said to Yu Qi: "They saw you playing with the dog, what did they say?" ”
Yu Qi said: "I didn't play with the dog. It was me and Sanxi who turned around to the fence bamboo garden, happened to pass by the gate of the yard, heard the dog barking, Sanxi and I were scared, and our heels were weak and we couldn't walk, so we stood there for a while. Later, the dog stopped barking and we left. Didn't play with the dogs. ”
The old lady pointed to the broken handkerchiefs and said, "How can this be explained?" Isn't it the dog you play with and tease with it? ”
Yu Qi closed his mouth, tears swirled in his eyes, and he was aggrieved.
Seeing that Yu Qi didn't answer, the old lady turned her head and asked Linglong: "Girl! How do you explain that? Did you bring the dog? You're sincere in scaring your wife, aren't you? ”
Yi Linglong sneered and glanced deeply at the second master Zhuang Lu: "Why didn't the old lady ask the second master, how did I know." ”
The old lady said angrily: "Presumptuous! ”
Yi Linglong was not intimidated, her face was full of sneers, she puffed up her chest, and said, "Yes, I brought it in!" But I'm obviously locked in a cage, how did it run away on its own? Someone has released it! The old lady is responsible for who released the dog to cause trouble! What's wrong with having a dog? I've seen a few of them in the house, and all of them love to play with them, and I haven't seen anyone bite. ”
After listening, Yu Qi's legs and feet were soft, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional for Linglong's words, in the end, it was a stone that fell into the well, and blamed it on Yu Qi! The handkerchief is embroidered by himself, if someone sincerely lets the dog hurt people, then who else is not himself? The physical evidence is here.
Fortunately, the old lady avoided the important and continued to ask, "Where did you bring this dog into the house?" ”
Yi Linglong said arrogantly: "I do it, I know how to do it!" You have all seen what you are doing in the courtyard today. While speaking, he looked at the second master sarcastically.
The second old man, Zhuang Lu, couldn't stand still, sighed first, then stood up, and finally knelt down in front of the old lady and said, "The old lady is angry." This is not about the fence bamboo garden, it is that the eldest master and I can't bear to let it out, and we carry it back. I thought I would get it out in the next two days, but I didn't think of it! ”
After listening, the old lady stood up and pointed at Zhuang Lu and said, "Then you don't say anything!" Is it intentional denial? I ......" was over-angry for a while, sat down, soothed, and said: "The people in your house, something happened, you take care of it yourself!" ”
None of them dared to speak.
Later, the old lady said again: "The wolf dog is a beast and has no brains, and you are all living people, are you also brainless?" Something happened to the fence bamboo garden, you take it by yourself, you deserve it! What's the matter, you kneel down to your ancestors and say! After pausing for a while, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said, "Who passed on the monsters from the Fence Bamboo Garden?" ”
The old lady means that the people who say that the demons and monsters should be caught and punished, and then thrown out and never renewed.
The girl who was supposed to send the chicken soup to the fence bamboo garden was afraid of things, so she hurriedly lay on the ground and said what she saw that day, and later the girl in the fence bamboo garden was also afraid of being implicated, so they all came out to echo it, and kept saying that they saw the white-haired and glowing monster.
Yi Linglong panicked, worried that someone would search the house, and the white-haired ghost mother was lying on the bed in the house at the moment!
Fortunately, the girls should have said again: "Perhaps, we were dazzled and misunderstood." ”
So, Yi Linglong pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "I just said it, I'm a monster!" You don't believe it. I like to pretend to be a ghost on weekdays, just because you always bully us in the bamboo garden. I know kung fu, if I use kung fu to beat you, what do you say about me, okay, I can always use this method, right? After all, I'm not a child in the belly of a lady. If you don't like me, I'll go! Protect the lady, please ask the second master to be smart. ”
Zhuang Lu repeatedly made her eyes exquisite, so that she could stop in moderation. Yi Linglong was interested and shut up.
Zhuang Lu begged the old lady and said, "The girl is lively by nature, and everyone in the house should know about it." Outside, the girl has been taking care of the people inside, and I don't feel at ease when she goes out! Worried about the people outside, they came in with knives and abducted ......"
Zhuang Lu means that Aunt Nazha's people will come to reclaim her. Leave Yi Linglong, in order to protect Nazha and protect the child.
The old lady sighed and said that the headache was uncomfortable, and she didn't care. The old lady knew in her heart that this matter was to blame, not all the blame for the exquisiteness, the person who attracted the wolf dog was the second master, and now he was angry with the girl, which would cause criticism, even if he wanted to be angry, he should also be angry with his own people. Before leaving, the old lady went to see Aunt Nazha again, and when she saw that she was sleeping peacefully, she was a little relieved, and instructed Cao: "Invite the doctor to come tomorrow to see if there is any major problem." ”
After hearing this, Cao Shi was in a hurry to answer and receive his orders; She was also worried that if the old lady was sincere in taking care of it, she would not be able to cover it if she sent someone to invite a doctor to take a look.
Regarding Yu Li's disposal, the old lady said: "Girl, although this matter is complicated, it is not caused by you, but it is also because of you. You rely on me to love you on weekdays, but you are becoming more and more rude. Why did you take a detour to visit your wife? If you put such an act in the palace, you are deliberately snooping and have bad intentions. Although it is good-intentioned, it will be a bad thing after all, so I won't protect you this time. Since you have landed in Xifu and are the daughter of Xifu, from tonight onwards, you will go back with Mrs. Xifu and she will teach and teach. You don't have to go back with me. ”
Yu Qi shed tears fiercely, didn't dare to refute a word, and knelt upright on the ground.
The old lady instructed the third lady of Xifu again: "You don't have to inform me about the punishment that should be punished when you go back, and how to educate." In this matter, it must be educated to make the second wife feel comfortable, so that it can be taught properly. That's what I mean. I am tired, go back and rest, and suffer each of your woes. Don't be scared every day. I'm too old to stand it. ”
The county lord responded with courtesy.
Tonight, the trouble was over, and everyone went home without mentioning it.
Yu Qi regretted not listening to Zisu's words and came to Beifu rashly. After tonight, I can't live calmly. Moving to Xifu, what kind of education punishment will the county lord have, I don't know what the result will be. The Cao family of Beifu deliberately broke the handkerchief and planted it, which shows that the Cao family's heart is not so kind, and he has long wanted to deal with himself.
Everyone came out of the fence bamboo garden one after another. Yi Linglong followed, specially went to Lu Qi, and said to her viciously: "I didn't expect your heart to be so vicious. I thought you were so kind. If you beg me, it's rotten in your stomach! You'll never know. ”
At that moment, Yu Qi was embarrassed.
Because, the county lord, the Cao clan and the others stared at themselves deeply.
It seems that they want to wear Yu Qi and want to ask her: What are you plotting with Yi Linglong?
Yu Qi shook his head, and it was difficult to argue. There is no need to argue further.
Now, the people who deal with themselves are not only the Cao family? And exquisite!
