Chapter 166: Moving the Coffin
Yu Qi climbed out of bed, crept under the courtyard door, and looked out through the crack in the door.
Many people came in and out of the outside, in addition to the inner servants of the Central Mansion, and the people of the Southern Mansion. At the outer gate of the central mansion, there seemed to be a pile of coals, and smoke was wafting in.
Then I saw the butler in the courtyard and beckoned: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Hold on a little. After a while, raise your mental eyes, look around the steps, muster up your strength, don't knock on the door. Listen up? ”
The servants should have heard. Then I saw the servants waiting for a dozen or so, all holding big flat burdens, and went to the Buddhist temple with the housekeeper. The butler's voice still floated in, and he only heard: "Girls, all come into the house, and come out to see the excitement and bad luck." When you carry it over, you can jump as much as you like, listen to me, and retreat back into the house to play for a while! ”
Suddenly, the busy girls around them and the lively girls and mothers-in-law all ran away in clusters. Not long after, a coffin was lifted from the temple, and the coffin was covered with a large red cloth. Pudu hugged a tablet, pinched a wooden fish in his hand, and led the way while knocking, and did not cry.
Everyone carried the coffin and walked outside the Zhongfu, and they all went out, and the housekeeper urged Si'er: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and send the cannon!" ”
With the sound of firecrackers, the footsteps of the group faded away, and they could no longer be heard.
Yu Qi pondered in his heart: "Didn't Zisu say that he would send it over after the first three?" How did you send it? ”
How could Yu Qi know the story in this. It turned out that in the middle of the night last night, the old lady went to the Buddhist temple to visit, and her heart was touched, and she felt that this person died in the Zhuang Mansion, and because of her house arrest, she fell asleep at night and had a nightmare. Early this morning, the old lady sent Zhu'er to Nanfu to ask if the place had been cleaned up.
When my aunt heard Zhu'er ask, she knew that the old lady wanted to transfer the pure light master and apprentice to Nanfu, and it was not easy to ask Zhu'er anything, so she just asked Zhu'er to go back and say to the old lady: "The place is ready, but the daily decoration is a little lacking, if Master Pudu doesn't mind, he can move over today." ”
Zhu'er said to her aunt: "Madam, the old lady has been making trouble all night, and she hasn't slept well!" When I saw this, I persuaded her, it really affected her rest, it was better to go to Nanfu earlier, so that Mrs. Nanfu could help her, and the old lady would not have to worry about it, and the disease would be better. ”
Here, Zhu'er is lying, isn't it for the old lady to save face?
The aunt nodded and said yes, here to find someone to inform the housekeeper, she and the fourth master Zhuang Yao immediately came to Shouzhongju to ask for peace, and asked to move the funeral of the Buddhist temple to Nanfu. The old lady was reluctant to respond, so the housekeeper called someone to carry it, and Yu Qi saw this scene.
Yu Qi looked through the crack in the door for a long time, the housekeeper and they went to Nanfu, and later the girls and mothers-in-law in the house came out, gossiping, talking about something, and chasing to the outer door to see. It was about Mei'er who saw them making a fuss and became angry, standing in the direction of the door of Shouzhongju and getting angry, and said to those subordinates: "What are you looking at? It is not your ancestors who died horizontally. If you really have this leisure, hurry to peel melon seeds and make melon seeds and walnut cakes for the old lady, and you can count your accumulated merits. ”
Those people listened to Mei'er's words, some listened to it, and some disdained it. Mei'er snorted, and went into the house to serve the old lady!
Yu Qi looked at it and felt bored, and twisted his head to go back to the house to wait for Zisu. When I got to the front porch of the house, I heard the sound of feet kicking the wall and the sound of low crying from the other side of the partition wall. She was amazed, and tiptoed closer to the wall.
Suddenly, I heard Zhu'er's voice say, "Why are you running so fast, the old lady hasn't finished speaking!" It became more and more face-up. ”
The crying man replied: "Okay, you picked it up, and you just got on the face!" "The man who spoke was Mei'er.
Zhu'er said: "I didn't say anything, how do I know that the old lady inquired about the person who sent it the first night." It's not what I said, why do you make me angry and spoil your body and throat. ”
Mei'er said: "What do I have to do with you when I am angry and spoil my body." You just wait for the scenery in the future, to see which master in the house wants you, and you will show your face! ”
Zhu'er said: "You ......" stomped his feet, and said: "I came to persuade you with good intentions, but you said that these hurt people." If you don't believe me, I can't do anything. Besides, it is also true, last night the old lady suddenly ordered to ask for twenty taels of silver, pointing to you to go. I didn't see you for a while, so I took my own body and pasted it for you. It's better that you don't thank me today, but take it and talk about me. What kind of cheapness have I committed, that I should carry these for you. "Say, Zhu'er is crying.
After a while, a girl came over in the distance and called Zhu'er and Mei'er.
Zhu'er said angrily: "The old lady is about to serve, what are you doing when you run out?" I'll go back first, and you'll play by yourself. ”
Zhu'er was about to leave, Mei'er snorted, and said to those girls: "Look at her, rush to treat yourself as a young lady in front of the old lady, thinking that she can also be like Miss Qi?" The blessings of Miss Qi may not be able to be eliminated by her, and people don't know where they are or where they are locked up! If she were to be Miss Qi, she might be ...... now."
The girl persuaded: "Sister Mei doesn't say a few words, the old lady can't hear it well." ”
Mei'er said: "What are you afraid of, I want the old lady to hear!" Don't be a shameless thief, I still think I am so virtuous and beautiful, I am good with this girl today, and I will get close to this uncle, the second master, and the third master, who do you think you are! ”
scolded for a while, and then heard a girl calling in the direction of Shouzhongju: "Sister Mei'er, the old lady called you!" ”
Mei'er snorted and strode away.
Hearing this, Yu Qi couldn't help but smile and returned to the house refreshed.
In the afternoon, Zisu came back, carrying a bag of medicine, sneakily unlocking and entering the door. Only then did he let go and called Yu Qi out.
After Yu Qi came out, Zisu told her that she had just seen the third wife from Xifu coming outside. Yu Qi's heart sank, thinking: I can't find me in a hurry, and I came to make amends to the old lady again.
Zisu said: "Today, I not only asked Mr. Yao to get the medicine, but also went to the palace. ”
Yu Qi said: "What are you going to do in the palace?" ”
Zi Su said: "I'll go to Lord Suyuan, so that a reasonable person can know." Unfortunately, the little lord was busy with something, and told me to come to our house later. ”
Yu Qi said nervously: "Sister, this is complicated and troublesome enough, you dragged Su Yuan in again, you want me to be unable to stand in Xifu!" Gee, I can't even think you'd do that. ”
Zi Su said: "If you are not happy that he came, then I should invite him to come." I didn't tell him what happened to you in Xifu, I just said that you were gone. ”
Yu Qi was stunned and said, "That's it? ”
Zisu nodded: "Yes!" Just this sentence, before he finished speaking, the people inside greeted him. I'll be gone. He chased him out and said, "Come later." ”
Yu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will come to see you as a him, and don't talk about my bad words to let him know." You think, if he knows, the third brother must know too. At that time, I really have to sing the whole house drama. At this time, I don't want to sing yet, I have to stay in Shizhai, sister think, Sanxi is inside, we have to think of it. ”
Zi Su said: "That's what it means, how can you get Sanxi out alone?" It's not that you need help yet. ”
Yu Qi said: "Don't be in a hurry now, when I give her the medicine, she will be able to walk with physical support, and we will walk back." My sister doesn't have to worry too much. You take care of yourself. Suddenly I thought of Mr. Yao, and asked, "What did Mr. Yao say?" ”
Zisu said: "Mr. said that he had not diagnosed or treated any injuries and diseases on Sanxi's body, so he didn't dare to take medicine indiscriminately." I opened some maintenance, saying that half of it was medicine and half of it was food, and I pounded it for Sanxi to eat. If you can't eat it, you can flush it for her to drink. ”
Yu Qi said: "Did you say when you would wake up?" ”
Zi Su said: "Ouch, my smart man. Do you think Mr. Yao is a fairy? Clairvoyance, punching holes through walls, checking the pulse in the air, can you tell you accurately? If you want me to say, come back as soon as you can, don't miss the healing period. Besides, when Sanxi comes back, we will go to the old lady and tell the second lady together. ”
Yu Qi shook his head and went into the house to find the girl's clothes that he wore when he came back the day before. Zisu saw her change her clothes and knew that she wanted to leave immediately, so she came over to put it on for her, and said, "The third lady just came, you will go out now, not afraid of being seen?" ”
Yu Qi said: "You go out for me to take care of the wind!" If you don't leave today, you won't have a chance tomorrow, and there will be more people outside. Let me tell you, the two nuns in the monastery have moved, and those people are taboo, so they stay away and leave at the right time. ”
Zisu was surprised.
Yu Qi told Zisu about the scene he had just peeked into, and also told him about the conversation between Zhu'er and Mei'er that he overheard under the wall.
When Zisu heard this, he sighed and said, "That nun died pitifully, if she hadn't done too much evil, how could she have died and still couldn't fix the coffin and be moved around?" That Mei'er's heart is too poisonous, and she will be like this as soon as possible, but poor Zhu'er is cowardly by nature and bullies her in vain. You said that Zhu'er was the first person in front of the old lady, and she could stand such insults. It's really rare. ”
Yu Qi had already put on his clothes and urged Zisu to explore the way.
Zisu straightened his thoughts and calmed down, then he went out, probed once, and saw that it was quiet outside, about as Yu Qi said, carrying the coffin out of the bad luck, everyone was hiding, it was a good opportunity to escape.
So, Yu Qi slipped out in the girl's clothes and walked along the road to Xifu.
Zisu was inconvenient to take care of and went far, so he was sent to the bottom of the locust tree, and said with concern: "You take care of yourself." ”
Yu Qi nodded and went.
Zisu returned to the gate of Zhongfu and was about to go under the Jinghua Xie Gate, when he saw the county lord and Jiangzhu and Yuping walking in.
Zisu was timid, hiding next to the potted plant by the door of Zhongfu, peeking for a while, and later, he saw Yuping walking out with anger on his face, looking around, and beckoning the girl from Shouzhongju to speak.
Yuping asked the little girl: "Did you see Zisu?" ”
The girl shook her head and said that she hadn't seen it, just now the housekeeper asked her to hide in the house, everyone was talking in the house, and no one came out.
Yuping snorted when he got the words, turned around and returned to Jinghua Xie to give the county lord a life.
Zisu was afraid that they would wait too long inside and would be angry about something for a while, so he trembled and pretended to be in the mirror.
At this time, when I walked to the door of the porch, I heard Yuping say angrily: "Madam, this person is a thief, and she can't tolerate her being so presumptuous." ”
Zisu walked in and said coldly: "I haven't been a thief, my heart is weak." ”
While speaking, he saluted to the county lord.
The county lord sat on the kang with a expressionless face. Zisu looked up and saw that the county lord was holding the clothes that Yu Qi had just changed.
It can be seen that the county lord is not only suspicious when he catches the handle!
