Chapter 133 Past 3
In the small courtyard of the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, Wang Mingzhe was lying groggily on the bed.
He originally planned to leave Suzhou today and return to Meixian, but Wang Chengde took two gourds and came back drunk and wanted to drink with him. Wang Mingzhe rarely drank alcohol, but because of the name of "Luo Shen drunk", he made an exception and drank a few more glasses, and was drunk and was helped to the bed by Wang Chengde. Wang Chengde withdrew the food, lit herbs and smoked the house to remove the smell of wine, pretending that Wang Mingzhe was sick and bedridden.
Therefore, Yao Yirou smelled the strong smell of medicine when she entered the hall, and she couldn't help but be even more worried.
"Girl, this small courtyard was bought by my young master last year, and I will stay here for a day or two when I have time." Wang Chengde explained, "There is no one else here, please rest assured." ”
Yirou took off the veil, and when he and Mrs. Lian entered the east room, he saw Wang Mingzhe sleeping on the bamboo bed, his face turned pale and he looked very haggard. Because he was covered with a quilt, he couldn't see where the injury was.
Wang Chengde retreated to the door with Mrs. Lian.
Mrs. Lian asked worriedly: "Housekeeper, the master is so sick, why don't you send him to Suzhou to see Langzhong, the illness can't be delayed." ”
Wang Chengde said with a low smile: "Heart disease still needs heart medicine, Miss Yao is here, the young master is naturally cured by medicine, you go to the kitchen to cook some white porridge to eat." ”
Wang Mingzhe is safe, this small courtyard is not equipped with servants, and even his personal servant Wang Chunrong does not know this small courtyard. Naturally, the meals here are very simple, either bring a few days of dry food or bring some rice and noodles to make your own. He is a noble son of a rich family, where does he know how to cook, Wang Chengde is also a person who can't cook, and Wang Mingzhe doesn't allow him to buy it in the neighborhood, so they are all casually making do these days, and Wang Chengde's stomach feels uncomfortable.
Yirou sat on the bamboo stool next to the bed and called softly: "Wang Gongzi, Wang Gongzi." ”
Wang Mingzhe opened his eyes groggily and saw someone who was thinking about it day and night. I secretly thought that Luo Shen was really drunk, and I could really see Luo Shen when I was drunk, and it seems that this wine can be drunk often. He braced himself up to sit up, but found that he was so dizzy that he fell back on the bed.
Although Luo Shen is drunk, the entrance is soft but the stamina is great, and the mind is very sober after being drunk, but the love is not controlled. In this case, people's self-control is extremely low, and it is most easy to expose their hearts, and Wang Chengde naturally has a deep meaning in choosing this wine.
"Prince Wang, don't move, what's uncomfortable?" Seeing him fall, Yirou was afraid that he would touch the wound, so she stepped forward and reached out to straighten him, let him lie flat on the pillow, and covered him with a quilt.
Wang Mingzhe really believed that he was in a dream this time, otherwise how could Miss Yao be so gentle, he shook his head, stared at the person in front of him and asked softly: "Miss Yao, Ziyuan hasn't asked the girl for her name yet, I don't know if the girl can tell me?" ”
A woman's boudoir name can't be easily known, and if it weren't for the dream, Wang Mingzhe wouldn't have asked it.
Yirou just wanted to comfort him at this time, so she told her real name.
One thought that he had no scruples in a drunken dream, and the other thought that the other party was terminally ill and felt guilty, so they opened their hearts and chatted for a long time, until Wang Mingzhe couldn't hold back his drunkenness and fell asleep.
Wang Mingzhe woke up the next day, and he still remembered everything yesterday vividly, and felt very incredible, so Wang Chengde confessed the truth to him.
Knowing that yesterday's qiē was true, Wang Mingzhe was happy and angry, and he clearly remembered that Yirou promised him that as long as he could get up from the bed, Yirou would go out of the nunnery and go home with him. So he ran to the mountain to see Yirou, Yirou saw that he ran over in a good manner, where she didn't know what was going on, she was ashamed and angry and closed the door and disappeared, Wang Mingzhe understood her mind at this time, where was she willing to stop, and Yirou finally responded after several pleas.
However, because of the death of both parents, Yirou had to keep filial piety and copy scriptures in the nunnery for three years before going down the mountain, and Wang Mingzhe naturally did not refuse.
Because Yirou had no relatives alive, Wang Mingzhe found an elderly Yao couple who had no children in the village below the mountain and asked Yirou to recognize them as adoptive parents. Then he used his relationship to do a good job of household registration and other identity documents for Yirou, hurried back to Meixian, asked his mother to agree to his marriage with Yirou, and found a matchmaker to propose marriage in Suzhou.
Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Zhou did not agree, but they couldn't stand Wang Mingzhe's plea, and finally sent a matchmaker to the old Yao's couple's house in Suzhou to collect the letter of appointment, and the marriage was decided.
It can be said that if Wang Chengde hadn't pulled the line from it, Wang Mingzhe and Yao Yirou would have been difficult to become husband and wife.
Lan Yi sighed: "Mother, the uncle got what he wanted, and it is extremely rare for two lovers to finally become married." After the eldest lady married into the royal family, how did the old lady treat her. ”
Old Madam Zhou naturally treats Yirou badly, Zheng sighed: "Mother understands the old lady's mind very well, her son was taken away, even if the eldest lady is tens of millions of good, in the eyes of the old lady, she is also a sinner." After the eldest lady married into the Wang family, she fixed the province every morning and dusk, and served the old lady wholeheartedly by the old lady's side did not let the old lady change her opinion. ”
Zheng recalled that after Yirou married into the Wang family, Wang Mingzhe took her to Mrs. Cui's courtyard to recognize her relatives, and everyone in the Wang family was stunned by her beauty and temperament. Yirou is from everyone, so there is naturally no choice for the number of etiquette, Mrs. Cui is quite kind to her when she sees this, but Mrs. Zhou thinks that she is demonstrating like herself, and she doesn't like it even more.
On the third day after Yirou married into the Wang family, Mrs. Zhou picked four big maids to serve Wang Mingzhe on the grounds that there were too few people around her and Wang Mingzhe.
Because Yirou likes to be quiet, and doesn't like the many people around her, so there is only a servant woman around Lian Pozi, and after marrying into the Wang family, Wang Mingzhe specially pointed out the spring peach who had just turned ten years old to serve her, compared to the second lady Tian, there are indeed many fewer people around her.
The four big maids were sent over, and Wang Mingzhe naturally did not allow them to enter the room, but only let them obey Yirou's assignment. But the four of them got the hint from the old lady, and they were embarrassed by Yirou openly and secretly, and Yirou was not too strict because they were people from her mother-in-law's faction, so these four people did not listen to her call later.
After getting married, Wang Mingzhe treated Yirou like a treasure, and Yirou was also wholeheartedly devoted to Wang Mingzhe, and the two could be said to be a pair of fairy couples, envious of others. Yirou looks weak, but in fact she is very determined, she does not allow her husband to interfere in the trivial affairs of the back house, and she never tells him these little troubles. Wang Mingzhe respected Yirou and only secretly took care of things for her, but he couldn't stand the old lady Zhou and Tian's deliberate targeting of Yirou, and later when Yirou was pregnant, she was "accidentally" touched by the maid and had a miscarriage, Wang Mingzhe was furious and sold all the maids.
After Yirou had a miscarriage, she was weak and couldn't get out of bed, so Mrs. Zhou sent two maids to serve her despite Wang Mingzhe's objections, and began to arrange for Wang Mingzhe to marry a flat wife who could give birth to a house to continue the incense.
Wang Mingzhe saw that Yirou could not recuperate in the mansion, so he begged Mrs. Cui to agree to move out of the mansion with Yirou, and only entered the mansion on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month to ask for peace.
When Yirou left the house, she only took Chun Tao and Lian Pozi, and Wang Mingzhe bought a few reliable maids and cooks from outside the house to take care of them, and the two lived their own small lives.
After having Wen Xuan, Mrs. Zhou finally stopped tossing and turning her attention to Wang Mingzhe's concubine, but turned her attention to her grandson, wanting to hold Wen Xuan to her side and raise her. Yirou naturally disagreed with her first-time mother, and later Mrs. Cui sent a message to ask Wang Mingzhe and his wife to move back to the mansion with Wenxuan, Wenxuan still followed his mother, and Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Zhou could also see each other every day, which was the best of both worlds. The relationship between Mrs. Zhou and Wang Mingzhe and her husband gradually became normal due to Wenxuan's reconciliation.
At the beginning of the sixth year of Puhe, Mrs. Cui suddenly fell ill and her illness was menacing, and the Wang family saw her like this, and hurriedly sent someone to call Wang Mingzhe, who went out to talk about business, to come back. Wang Mingzhe got the news and hurried back when he accidentally fell into the water and died, and Mrs. Cui, who was ill, couldn't withstand the blow and followed it not long after, and for a while, the Wang family was cloudy, and the division and competition for property became more and more intense.
At this time, the baby, who was less than ten months old, was injured several times and almost died. Mrs. Zhou was already in a trance at that time, Wang Chengde saw that things were not good, and urgently arranged for Yirou to take Chun Tao and Wen Xuan out of the house for a while, only then did an accident happen, and Chun Tao fled all the way to Huang County with Wen Xuan.
"When I learned of my uncle's death, the eldest lady wanted to follow him several times, but she survived because of Young Master Wenxuan." After talking about the past, Zheng remembered the difficult days of the past two years, and sighed, "At that time, it was rumored in the mansion that the eldest lady was hard-working, and she killed her parents, Mrs. Tai and the eldest young master, and she was an ominous person...... Anyway, I finally got through it, and the days ahead will gradually get better. ”
If Yirou hadn't followed Wang Mingzhe down the mountain at that time, and was still copying scriptures safely in the nunnery, there would have been no subsequent calamities, and the gains and losses are really difficult to comment.
Lan Yi sighed, thinking about the ins and outs of the whole thing. Mrs. Cui suddenly fell seriously ill, then Wang Mingzhe fell into the water and died, and then Wen Xuan was killed several times, and the smell of conspiracy here is too heavy to ignore.
"Mother, how could Mrs. Tai suddenly fall ill?"
Zheng hesitated slightly, she also suspected this matter, but after all, there was no evidence: "Mrs. Tai was very old at the time, and it was normal for her to be sick. ”
Lan Yi lay on the couch, listening to the sound of chanting outside the window and pondering, if Mrs. Cui hadn't fallen ill at that time, what would have happened?
Yirou took Wenxuan back to the house, and turned back in a good direction, if this development continues, who will be the most disadvantaged? If Wang Mingzhe and Wenxuan are gone, who will benefit the most?
Wang Mingli and his wife! Mrs. Cui's sudden illness may really be an accident, but Wang Mingli wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Wang Mingzhe is certain, if it is just for money, he is too ruthless, there must be other reasons for this.
"Mother, the parents of the second master, how did the second master Wang Gezhi and his wife die?" The hatred of killing his father, the hatred of taking his wife, will not die, I am afraid that it will have some connection.
Zheng grew up in the royal family since childhood, so he naturally knows these old things. She recalled: "The second master went when the second master was five years old, and he and the eldest master went out to discuss business and came back from a torrential rain, and the inn where he stayed was washed away by the rocks poured down from the mountain, and only the eldest master survived. Soon after the second master went, the second lady also followed, leaving only the five-year-old second master. The eldest master and the second master have always been close, and he said that if it weren't for the second master, he would not be able to live, so he took the second master to his knees to raise, and his love for him was not lost to the uncle, and the second master has always been well-behaved and obedient, how do you know that he has grown up so ruthless. ”
Let's not say whether Wang Mingzhe's death is related to Wang Mingli, but Wang Mingli took over most of the Wang family's business after Wang Mingzhe's death, and sent Wang Chengde and his son to prison, and became more and more indifferent to Mrs. Zhou, who has always regarded him as his own, which is enough to make people feel cold. But now after all, it is in the mansion, there are many people, and the Zheng family doesn't want to say more.
"Sleep, it's not early, people from all over the world will come to worship tomorrow, we still have to be busy." Zheng closed his eyes after speaking.
Lan Yi couldn't sleep, she had learned too much valuable information from Zheng's mouth, and there were still many doubts to be cleared. After Zheng fell asleep, he covered the quilt for her and the child, and got up to go to the hall.
There are only two monks left in the courtyard who knock on the wooden fish and chant the scriptures, and on the other side is a Taoist priest wearing a yin-yang fish Taoist robe pinching his fingers and chanting the trick, the monk and Taoist priest sing and harmonize, and the coordination is abnormal, but Lan Yi looks a little happy. Dao Wufeng was resting in the courtyard in a Taoist robe, and Wang Chunrong was muttering something to him, and the two of them looked solemn.
The mother-in-law who was guarding the spirit was also dozing at the door at this time, and the mourning hall was empty. Lan Yi knew that this mother-in-law was definitely not the lotus mother-in-law who was waiting by Yirou's side, but she didn't know where she went after the accident, and Lan Yi hadn't had time to ask the Zheng family yet.
After refueling the lamp, Lan Yi sat down in front of the mourning hall, took the paper one by one and put it into the brazier, and watched them slowly turn to ashes. R1152
