Chapter 17: Dark Spirit
Outside the rolling park, on the cobblestone path that enters the park.
Aunt Xi and Uncle Zhuang Xu's second room stood there, and there was a person kneeling in front of her, that person was the person under Zhuang Hu, in the end, it was still the girl who was close to Zhuang Hu, called Taoqin.
Aunt Xi crossed her waist and rested for a while, and now she turned her head and spoke to Zhuang Xuan's second room: "On reason, I should protect the people in the eldest girl's place, but I will see it again, you say, don't say anything about the face of your eldest girl, and my face will not be bare." Let my wife know, I don't know what I will say! It's nothing to say that I'm just afraid of affecting you big girls. Then he turned his face to the enemy Taoqin: "You are a rotten elbow and a cheap person, you say, what do you want to do with such a quiet touch?" β
Tao Qin knelt on the ground, with two red marks on her cheeks, she hung her head and sobbed, tears rolled down from the marks, and she replied in a low voice: "I didn't touch it quietly, and I didn't plan to." It's the wrong way. I don't want my aunts to see it. β
Aunt Xi chirped: "I! It's okay for you to lie to the new grandma who didn't stand still, and you can lie to me and your aunt, it's too shallow to look at us. β
Zhuang Erfang's sneer: "The soles of my feet are like oil, once I said that I came to pick things, and once I said that I was on the wrong path." Have you not eaten all day? It's all nonsense. β
Aunt Xi didn't wait for Taoqin to explain, raised her hand, slapped her head again, and snorted fiercely, "It's not me talking about you now, even your aunt and grandmother can't stand it." Since you came to look for something and went the wrong way, why did you run away when you saw us turning our feet? Afraid we'll eat you? Look at your thief's eyebrows, serious or not? But want to steal the treasure from the uncle's garden? β
As she spoke, Aunt Xi motioned to her maid to go through Taoqin's clothes. The girl's hand was heavier than Aunt Xi's, and she tore it apart, and for a while, she saw Taoqin's white chest bulging out, and she covered it desperately, crying and begging: "Auntie, aunt, please raise your noble hand, I really didn't steal, I swear, I really didn't steal ......"
Aunt Xi said: "In terms of calculation, you are my own family, if you don't check it thoroughly, let people see it clearly, how can you get rid of it?" It's useless for you to beg me. He motioned to the girl and said, "Pull down your clothes, and don't look away from the squeaks of your head, face and feet." β
The girl listened to the order and was about to tear it up, when suddenly, the grandmother came.
The eldest grandmother stepped forward and said, "What's the matter?" β
Aunt Xi and Zhuang Xuan's second room turned their heads sharply to look, and saw the eldest grandmother coming with red faces, and there were a few people behind her, who were nothing more than Yu Qi's master and servant.
Seeing the eldest grandmother in Zhuang Xuan's second room, she looked a little panicked and wanted to be polite, but Aunt Xi didn't wait for her to bow down, and pinched her arm and didn't give it to her.
The eldest grandmother and Yu Qi exchanged gifts and brought them to Aunt Xi.
Aunt Xi said: "Grandma came just in time, this girl is from my girl's place." I just came out of your second room, and I happened to bump into it, and I didn't know what to do. I tried to call her, but she ran away instead. I'm afraid that she will scratch her hands around, so I called to ask, so that I can come clearly, and leave clearly, so as not to stain your big girl's reputation. β
Tao Qin covered her clothes and cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.
Seeing such a scene, the grandmother was a little compassionate, but it was difficult to say anything.
Yu Qi only watched behind her, and Sanxi and Zisu were afraid that she would be nosy, so they pulled her back.
Right now, Zhuang Ji said with a smile in the second room: "I've checked, there's nothing on this girl." Grandma, do you want them to search again? β
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Aunt Xi a little.
Aunt Xi said: "Yes, it's good for grandma to take a look, don't say anything to my wife, I won't recognize it then." β
The eldest grandmother smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm too worried, what can we do in this garden." There are a bunch of rotten stones and rotten wood, the uncle is a treasure, and he doesn't want to give it to others, what do they want to do. The weather is so cold, my aunt doesn't have to let her kneel. β
The corners of Aunt Xi's mouth twitched a few times, sighed, the stiff smile disappeared, she suddenly turned her head to Taoqin, kicked her in the chest, and scolded viciously: "Things that don't have rules are all thrown into your uncle's house." Your grandmother has a generous heart, and she doesn't know how to kowtow after she favors you? β
Tao Qin received a kick, lying on the ground, after hearing the training, quickly got up, and was kneeling to the grandmother, begging to raise her noble hand without stopping.
The eldest grandmother and Yu Qi were greatly surprised and panicked. After that, the eldest grandmother motioned to Beeswax to help up the peach celery, and then said, "Auntie, I think it's a misunderstanding." Isn't there stinky grass in the back of the yard? Last time, I heard that the eldest girl's sister Xiu'er was uncomfortable and had to use these medicines, she came to me to dig here, and I saw it once. I also said, if it's not enough, you can take it, it's okay. Presumably she came for the stinky grass this time, so she couldn't steal anything. β
Actually, the grandmother said that she wanted to help Taoqin out of the siege. Last time, Taoqin was instructed by the Rolling Garden to look for stinky grass, she came, but also quietly touched, walked around, and finally found the stinky grass, dug up a few plants, at that time beeswax saw, went back to report to the grandmother, the grandmother came out to see, just saw Taoqin want to escape, and collided with each other. That Taoqin had a weak heart, and hurriedly said that she would take stinky grass to treat Sister Xiu'er, but at that time, the eldest grandmother didn't ask a word, and then let her go.
Now, the eldest grandmother remembers her and inherits the last time they met, so the accident is over.
When Aunt Xi heard this, she slowed down and said, "Just take something, just take it, your grandmother is not a stingy person, look at your behavior, what is the difference between being a thief." When you go out in the future, don't tell who your master is, so as not to discredit your master. I think the eldest girl has been in business for many years, and she is not so upright. After thinking for a while, he asked, "You are not a close friend of the big girl, who is your superior?" β
Tao Qin refused to speak, but made everyone confused.
Aunt Xi saw that she shouldn't, so she raised her foot and wanted to rub it, but fortunately, the grandmother stopped her.
At the same time, outside the cobblestone path, there was a voice: "It's hot." β
The person who came was Zhuang Yu, followed by Zhuang Yu and the girl.
When everyone saw Zhuang Yu, they all lowered their faces and saluted slightly.
Zhuang Jue rolled his eyes, looked at everyone with bone, was very puzzled, and turned his head to look at Zhuang Jue again. Zhuang Yu ignored everyone, walked straight forward, approached Yu Qi, and stretched out his hand to hold her.
Yu Qi smiled and asked Zhuang Yu: "Why is the fifth sister here again." β
Zhuang Yu smiled playfully, glanced at Zhuang Yu for a while, and then stared at the disheveled Taoqin, and said strangely: "What's wrong?" β
Momoqin was still crying.
These scenes at the moment are embarrassing, especially for Zhuang Jue, after all, there are female dependents who are untidy and crying, and he is a man standing here, he should avoid his eyes; Moreover, he came to the Rolling Garden to find Yu Qi to apologize, so he didn't dare to look around.
At that moment, I heard the eldest grandmother smile at Aunt Xi: "Auntie, I think it's okay, it's not a big deal." β
Aunt Xi replied loudly: "Your third master came just in time, and you will also be a witness." Our girl there came to the garden, and I looked like a thief, so I asked her to stay for questioning, and I searched her body in front of my grandmother. Now the grandmother doesn't pursue it, and says it's gone. The third master has to remember it clearly in the future. β
Zhuang Jue raised her eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "My aunt is too careful, my sister-in-law said forget it, why are you bothering." β
Aunt Xi said: "I don't do our business, because she is a big girl." β
Zhuang Jue said: "The big sister's people have their own big sister to teach, what the aunt scolded her for, the big sister should quarrel with you again when she knows." β
Aunt Xi paused, stared at Zhuang Yu in a daze, and was speechless.
Zhuang Ying shook his head and asked Taoqin: "Then I will testify for you, what is your name?" β
Tao Qin whispered back: "My name is Tao Qin." β
Zhuang Yu clapped his hands and said, "I remember." Auntie, hurry up and take it back, don't embarrass her. β
Aunt Xi sighed, then flicked her sleeves to leave. Zhuang Xuan's second room is a little difficult to deal with, and I want to move to follow, but I feel that it is not appropriate, and I am afraid of hindering other people's eyes.
Fortunately, Aunt Xi noticed her predicament, walked a few steps and then turned back to greet her, "Aren't you going to sit with me?" To go or not to go? β
Zhuang Xuan's second room smiled and said, "Go!" Why not! It's just that I haven't said a word to my grandmother yet. β
Aunt Xi muttered, "What is there to say. You've been here for a lot longer than her, and you're a little bit uninitiated. β
So, Aunt Xi let her girl drag Taoqin to go back with her, and the two of them walked out all the way out of the second room, and they didn't know what to say.
Seeing them leave, Zhuang Jue turned back to his expression and bowed to the eldest grandmother in a serious manner.
The eldest grandmother replied with a half-salute and asked politely, "Why is the third master here?" β
Zhuang Jue looked at Yu Qi shyly, and said back to the eldest grandmother: "I'm here to find Sister Qi." β
The eldest grandmother was interested, smiled slightly, motioned for the girl to go back with her, and when she passed by Yu Qi, she stretched out her jade hand and patted the back of her hand. Yu Qi took her hand slightly.
Yu Qi said: "Sister-in-law remember what she promised me. β
The eldest grandmother said, "Don't worry, girl. β
After saying that, the big grandmother left.
Rest, on the cobblestone road, Zhuang Yu was embarrassed, raised his eyes to look at Lu Qi, stunned, and couldn't say anything.
Seeing this, Zhuang Yu smiled "poof", grabbed Yu Qi, and said, "Sister, brother is here to apologize to you." Do you suffer or not? β
Yu Qi was surprised: "What do you say?" What do you want to apologize to me? β
Zhuang Yu had already bowed deeply.
Zhuang Yu helped explain: "My sister returned to the mirror from the Phoenix Pavilion, someone didn't come to send it, and when I went back, he came to ask me again." In the end, he did something bad, and his conscience couldn't get over it, so he came. Sister, you don't know, we went all the way to Jinghua Xie, I didn't see you, I asked before I knew that you came to Dongfu, went to Dongfu for half a circle, and said that you were in the rolling garden, this is not coming! Sister, if you don't forgive him, I will support you and make my brother deserve it. Not a member of the family, we don't have to forgive him! β
Yu Qi blushed and said, "Just have a heart." What's more, when I go in and out of Xifu, it's not too glorious. Only I was wrong, how could the third brother be at fault? β
Zhuang Jue said: "I have a heart! Sister, you know that I have never been like this, all because I am stingy, my sister doesn't blame me, right? β
Yu Qi lowered his head and face, did not respond, moved autonomously, and walked to the outside of the path. Sanxi and Zisu didn't understand what was going on, so they were in a hurry to chase after them.
Zhuang Jue saw that Yu Qi didn't respond, thinking that she was angry, so he lost his mind a little. Zhuang Yu laughed for a while, came over to grab him, and said, "You can't live if you do your own evil, how did I tell you when I came." Are you still going with me? β
Zhuang Jue said deflatedly: "No, I'm not going!" β
Zhuang Yu snorted and stood there dejectedly.
At that time, Yu Qi walked under the plum tree, and when he heard Zhuang Jue say this, a slight smile appeared on his face. She shouldn't Zhuang Yu have something unspeakable, afraid that Zhuang Ying would take out the matter of not opening the door the night before and talk about it, after all, Zhuang Yu is here. So, she chose to be silent and walked away quickly.
Who knows, Zhuang Jue felt that Yu Qi was angry.
Zhuang Yu thought that Zhuang Jue would go to Jinghua Xie after standing for a while, but he didn't go after all, and the brother and sister came to the fourth girl, Zhuang Yu, to sit for a while, and then went back to Xifu after saying a few words.
When he came out of the East Mansion, Zhuang Jue muttered, "Sister Qi is too stingy. β
In fact, Yu Qi also felt that he had just behaved stingily, and he should not leave after saying a word. In the end, I didn't say anything and returned to Jinghua.
The three of them entered the courtyard gate, carefully closed the door, and walked into the inner room, only to breathe a sigh of relief, so they took advantage of the tea to discuss the encounter with Aunt Xi in the rolling garden.
Because of the discussion of the punished girl Taoqin, Sanxi felt that she was familiar, so he said: "That Taoqin seems to have seen it somewhere." I can't remember it for a moment. Listening to her cry, it's really familiar. β
Yu Qi smiled: "Can you not be familiar?" On the day Huiyuan married Dongfu, we walked behind, and she was hidden behind the rockery. β
Sanxi said: "No wonder the third master protects her." β
Yu Qi smiled, didn't care about it, but said: "Other people's business is none of our business, I'm worried about the red-haired fox in Beifu now." Huiyuan's sister-in-law went over, and I don't know if I can find out. Now I think, if it's an old person and recognizes it, won't it be exposed on the spot? Oops, I really shouldn't have asked my sister-in-law to come forward. β
Yu Qi slapped himself on the forehead fiercely, annoyed.
Zisu heard her say this, and snorted: "Could it be that you want to go by yourself?" Do you have any relationship with Beifu? The eldest grandmother is the matchmaker of the second wife's tigress protection, and it is most appropriate for her to go. If you want to talk about revealing stuffing, let her show it! When something went wrong, she blocked her whole body, and if she did, she was left alone. β
Yu Qi stared at Zisu, shook his head, and said angrily: "Sister! After all, my sister-in-law is my sister-in-law, and my position is here, so you have to bow down, and there should be a faΓ§ade! Besides, people help us! β
Zisu said coldly: "I didn't say anything about her, why did the girl say these words to practice me." What do I do with these gifts, I will stay in this courtyard horizontally, and when you do a good job, I will amplify the red firecrackers and go out. Handle them alive and dead. β
Yu Qi said: "I've explained it to you, isn't Huiyuan in trouble?" β
Zisu said: "Bitter? Climbing high branches to climb out of hardships, I really see it for the first time, and I haven't seen it in the book! People are now grandmothers, and they will press you! You are a sister-in-law, and when you see someone, you will give half a salute, she used to be a girl who served you! What a thing! Let's not talk about the distance, because she got married, her family lived in a big house outside. It's not calculated. β
Yu Qi was embarrassed and lamented, she knew that Zisu's opinion of the eldest grandmother was too deep, and if she wanted to resolve the two, she shouldn't be able to do it for a while.
