Zisu pushed Yu Qi to hide, she hid, and then went to open the door.

Outside the door. Sure enough, it was someone from Xifu, and Zhu'er in front of the old lady.

Zisu was surprised on the surface, and showed his bewilderment: "Sisters, it's so late, do you want me to go to Shouzhong to live my best?" ”

Zhu'er tilted her head slightly, poked her eyes into the door, and said: "The coffin of the fairy aunt is placed, there is a little master here now, we have enough people in Shouzhongju, so we don't need you to go." Slowly turning his eyes to look at the people in Xifu, he turned back to Zisu and said, "Miss Qi really didn't come back?" ”

Zisu pretended to be stupid: "Miss Qi? Today, my wife still said, it's gone, and I haven't found it yet? ”

Zhu'er smiled: "Probably not." ”

Yuping from Xifu stood beside him, unwilling to say much, and raised his hand to signal the person in front of him to pick up a lantern and break in. Zisu wanted to turn around to stop her, but who knew that Zhu'er grabbed her and signaled not to stop.

After a while, Yuping and the others returned disappointed, shaking their heads at Zhu'er, about what they wanted to find but didn't find it.

Zhu'er Fang said: "Otherwise, you go to the house with us to answer the word, Mrs. is here." ”

Zisu curled her lips slightly and quietly smiled. Isn't it? Yu Qi just said that the old lady was not allowed to call for questioning. Now, that's right.

The door was not closed, and he entered the life with Zhu'er and Yuping. Although there were dead people here today, there was no dead man's atmosphere at all, just like the usual evenings, except that there were slightly fewer people walking around than on weekdays. Perhaps, the dead are the reason why everyone is afraid of it.

I went up the stairs and was about to enter the house.

Suddenly, through the curtain of the door, I heard the old lady sigh and say, "Then do what you want from Nanfu." The fourth old man usually has that temperament, and he is courteous to poetry and books, and this dead man's funeral will inevitably cause inconvenience in the past, for fear that he will have something in his heart, and he will have to complain about you in the end. ”

When the old lady said this, Zhu'er entered first and reported, "Zi Su is here." ”

The old lady "um" should be. Later, Zhu'er came out to greet him and said, "Let me in." ”

When I entered the house, I saw the old lady sitting on the kang for the first time, and there were two people sitting at the bottom, one was the lady of Xifu, and the other was the aunt of Nanfu. The smiling face of the aunt turned to look at the old lady.

The county lord lowered his eyes, as if he had just wiped away tears.

Zisu didn't dare to open his eyes and observe for too long, so he hooked his head and face and stepped in.

saluted the old lady, and saluted the county lord and aunt respectively.

After the ceremony, I heard the old lady say to my aunt: "Then let's do it first, you go back!" It's late again, the six girls and the seven sisters love to stick to you, and they come out for too long, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep! ”

The aunt smiled, turned her head to look at the county lord and said to the old lady, "I don't just accompany my wife to come over. Speaking of Master Pudu today, now that the old lady is approved, then I will ask people to pack up and add things as they usually see in the temple. I don't think I will be wronged by her. Please rest assured the old lady. ”

It turned out that the aunt came to Shouzhongju this time, one to accompany the county lord, and the other to ask the old lady to show that Pudu would move to Nanfu. The old men have discussed, it is best to move all the coffins and others out of Shouzhongju. Who knows, the old lady said that if she waits too much and then moves, it will stop, it is not suitable to move, and it is disrespectful to the dead. Just as he was talking about it, Zi Su came, and then he heard the old lady sigh and speak, this is the matter.

At present, the old lady saw Zisu come in and wanted to let the aunt go first, the aunt was worried that she was gone, leaving the county lord, the old lady opened her mouth to blame, the county lord didn't dare to stand for a while, afraid that she would be wronged, but there was no other reason not to leave.

Thinking about this, the aunt slowly got up, saluted, and said, "Old lady, why don't I go to the Buddhist temple first." In other words, only my body is suitable for it. Beifu is doing business, and the big girl in Dongfu also helps with business, which is not very suitable. After all, it is said that people are here with us, and the masters are not here, and when it is spread, we have to say how cold we are. ”

The old lady nodded and said, "Then you go, take a look and go back." Zuo is enough, but it is enough to do your best. In addition, you asked the kitchen to prepare some food for fasting, and the Pudu child knelt for a long time, and heard that the water and rice did not enter. You persuade her to say a word or two, let her eat something. ”

Aunt Mi nodded slightly, saluted again, and went. Zhu'er probably knew that the old lady was going to reprimand people, so she consciously glanced at the people who were waiting on the side, and also went out.

Zhu'er said: "Old lady, Ju'er, they are also busy with the affairs of the Buddhist temple today, in and out of the day, I asked people to take their class, and they went to rest early." Why don't we go out and help prepare the meal! ”

The old lady nodded.

When the people in front of the old lady were gone, the old lady turned her eyes to look at the county lord and her girl Yuping and others, and she didn't say anything, she looked at it once, and then turned her head to look at Zisu.

Zisu stood in the middle of the room in a daze, maintaining the same posture as when he came in, clasping his hands.

The old lady said, "Have you ever come back?" ”

The old lady spoke so bluntly and straight to the point! Zisu sighed in her heart, becoming more and more careful and nervous.

Yuping and Jiangzhu, who were standing behind the county lord, glanced at each other, and finally, Yuping stepped forward and said, "Let's come and see it in the morning, but we didn't see it, I just went, and I didn't see it." But I heard that someone was standing under the door of Jinghuaxie this morning, and he went in behind him, but he never came out. ”

The corners of the old lady's mouth twitched, and she smiled weirdly.

Zisu held his posture and said slowly: "Our girl went to Xifu, I begged my wife to let her come back, and then let me go to Xifu to serve her." My wife said that the girl was very good in Xifu, and asked me to stay in Jinghuaxie to take care of the parrot. Now, we only have a parrot brother in the mirror, how can we come to Miss Qi? ”

The old lady said coldly: "Presumptuous! After that, he continued: "If you ask a question, you will resent people. Do you blame me for saying that, or do you blame your wife from Xifu? Miss Qi caused this, because you don't take care of it well and don't take care of it completely. If it hadn't been like that, why did something happen in Beifu that day! ”

Zisu sneered in his heart, and even had a knife in his mouth, his tone was still unkind, and said: "The old lady and the lady naturally understand in their hearts that our girl, a person from outside, dares to do anything wrong in the house. I don't take care of it completely, naturally there is no fault with me, the old lady and the wife will be punished, then let me follow the girl to the stone fast! I also fulfilled my wish, and stayed with the girl day and night for a long time. ”

The old lady said angrily: "The more you talk, the more bastard! You keep saying that your girl is from outside, and you are from the house? Your eyes are on the top of your head, and you still say what you want. Since the girl is not in the house, why did you close the door in the morning, and prevent people from entering? ”

Yuping also took advantage of the time and said: "Not only in the morning, we just went, she is like this, if it wasn't for Sister Zhu'er to hold her, she wouldn't let us in!" I don't know what the intentions are. ”

The old lady snorted, so she didn't care about this, and she didn't say anything to blame Zisu, but only said to the county lord: "County lord, I also said it today, let her come back." If you think she's back, then assume she's back! It's really not in the mirror flower Xie, or it's still on your side of the West Mansion, whether it's in the mansion or not, I don't think there's any need to worry. This child has lived and died, and I don't think I need to worry too much, what do you say? ”

This is not so close to people. On weekdays, the old lady also called the wives of each prefecture "Mrs.", but this time she called the county lord "County Lord", which shows that she is divided.

The county lord wiped his eyes and said bitterly: "If I don't see people here, I should give an explanation to the old lady." If there is no explanation, Bai watched the old lady hurt her, and we were her parents for nothing. ”

The old lady said: "She has a good relationship with Ling'er, have you asked Ling'er about them?" Or run to play with the other sisters? ”

The county lord said: "I don't dare to say anything else, it is never possible for Ju'er to see Qi'er." These days, she has moved into Chengfu Yuan, studying under me, working hard day and night, and if the two sisters see each other, I will know. ”

The old lady was surprised, but also very pleased.

The county lord said again: "I discipline Qi'er strictly, and it is good for her after all." She was locked up in Shizhai, and I didn't report it to the old lady, it was mine. If she hadn't been there, Baozhu wouldn't have been short-sighted. ”

After that, the county lord cried endlessly.

The old lady sighed and said, "What happened to you, what's the good of being sad?" In the matter of Baozhu, let the second master add more bereavement materials to her family. But I'm very strange, what do you think about letting the girl go to kneel on the jewel? Now you say, "What do you mean by fasting with stones?" I said, you are separated from me on weekdays, and there are some things that can be said to me if you are happy, and when you are not happy, I am not a person, and I don't even want to mention it. Tonight, I posted an old face to ask the county lord, is Baozhu's death related to the girl or not? ”

Jiangzhu, who was on the side behind her, quickly spoke: "Old lady, in fact, Mrs. is thinking about Miss Qi a lot......"

The old lady shouted, "Shut up." I didn't ask you. I want to ask your wife to get back to me. What are you plugging into. ”

Jiangzhu hung her head, so ashamed that she was hot all over, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense.

The county lord said: "Back to the old lady's words, the treasure bead is to blame, and it is really not about Qi'er's business." ”

The old lady asked, "Since it's not about the girl, why did you let her kneel down a lowly girl." Where do you leave her in doing so? Where is your western mansion? I understand that you love the jewel girl, and this kind of approach is a bit out of place. ”

The county lord said: "It's all daughters-in-law who are not thoughtful and not rigorous. Shame on the Zhuang family. Ask the old lady to condemn her guilt. ”

The county lord quickly knelt down.

The old lady raised her hand and asked the beads and jade screen to help them up.

The county lord got up, and the weeping became more and more intense.

The old lady said impatiently: "Don't cry! Then he said: "I won't pursue you for the death of the jewel, Heng Zhu is from Xifu, you cook by yourself, just don't disturb my ears and eyes." I didn't know it at the beginning, and I don't know it now. The only thing I care about is that it has nothing to do with the girl, since it has nothing to do with it, whatever you want. In the end, your status as the county lord is precious, and the third master is still so tired of you, I really blame people, and I also blame him, I don't know how to sympathize with you, and let you be wronged. ”

The county lord said: "The daughter-in-law didn't feel affected and wronged. I just think that the old lady loves Xifu and attaches importance to Qi'er, I didn't take good care of her, and I insulted the old lady's affection. ”

Seeing Zisu standing there for too long, the old lady changed the topic and said to Zisu: "Zisu, let me ask you one more question." Is Miss Qi in your house? If you are not there, I won't ask, if you are here, you are lying like this, I found out the other day, I will ask you to go back to Beifu to serve, your heart should be cleaned up by the second wife. ”

Zisu was scared, pinching his fingers and pulling back and forth.
