Chapter XVIII. sinister
"Why are you still involved in Mama Lai's house," You Shi frowned and complained, "Are there not enough people in the family for you, and there is still a need for outside"
"Okay, no matter who it is, after all, it can be regarded as a descendant of our family, so things are easy to do," Jia Mu said, and then ordered the mother-in-law next to her to call the Wang family, Lai Mama and a number of mothers-in-law, and ordered not to reveal the news.
And at this time, many old women are walking around the house, since that day Qingwen will come, another person came to his house to inquire about the affairs of the year, Zhibai naturally will not let Mrs. Duo know, but afterwards when the neighbor chatted with her, she unconsciously showed her mouth.
When Mrs. Duo heard it, and then thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingwen mentioned her mother from time to time, and guessed that Qingwen might have known the truth about her mother's death, so she ordered her daughter-in-law to invite Qingwen: "You go to Jiafuli, invite your cousin, and say that your father-in-law will come back today and invite her to drink." ”
Her daughter-in-law was at odds with her, so she naturally didn't want to go, so she postponed: "People are big girls, how can they go away if they don't have a festival?"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Duo pointed at her and scolded: "Slut, if you don't invite your sister today, I will sell you to the kiln tomorrow."
The old lady's daughter-in-law secretly hated it, but she couldn't help it, so she also went to invite her.
Then Mrs. Duo entered her own room, closed the door, moved the suitcase, between the old lady gently to the ground, a floor tile was loosened, Mrs. Duo took away the floor tiles, under the floor tiles exposed an iron box, the old lady picked up the box with a happy face, opened it to see, there were a few leaves that had long dried up, "With this is said to dip into the water, the water can poison the cow's broken intestine grass, the old woman called you this time there is no return, you don't have to blame me, since you know how your mother who lost the money jar died." , Na must not be able to call you alive"
Mrs. Duo carefully wrapped a leaf with a handkerchief, put the rest away, and put everything in place, and then folded the handkerchief wrapped in the broken intestine grass, and wrapped it in a layer of oiled paper, and then put it in her arms. Mrs. Duo plans to boil a pot of soup, and when Qingwen comes back in the evening, she will wash her bowl with the water of the broken intestine grass, and use that bowl to drink the soup, in this way, drink the same pot of soup, she is dead, and her family is still alive, so she can't blame herself. Mrs. Duo was secretly smug when she heard a knock at the door.
"Who," shouted the old lady as she went to open the door.
"Old sister, it's me, the second grandmother said that she has something to do with you" The old lady heard that this was the Jiang lady who was "doing business" with herself, and she was the daughter-in-law of the Wang family next to the second grandmother of Lian, so she hurriedly opened the door and asked: "Do you have any instructions from the second grandmother, Mrs. Lao will take a trip"
"Mom, our second grandmother has been rewarding her meritorious deeds these days, thinking about your hard work on weekdays, so today we are specially ordered to invite you to get your share of the reward, and eat and drink by the way" Jiang Niangzi smiled and pulled the clothes of the many women and walked out.
The mother-in-law thought about her evening, so she said: "Good lady, can you go and talk to the second grandmother, I have to greet guests at home tonight, can you ......?"
"Mom, don't toast and don't eat and drink, you know the temper of the second grandmother, if it goes against her will, we will not be able to eat and walk around, you can do it yourself today" Jiang Niangzi said with a sneer. In fact, Jiang Niangzi was also anxious, her family was taken away, and the masters said that if she could bring this old woman into the house safely, her own pair of little children could be saved from death, and they would be brought to Zhuangzi to feed people who had no children, if they couldn't take it, or if something went wrong on the way, their whole family would die, so although Jiang Niangzi didn't say it on the surface, she was actually very anxious in her heart, for fear that the old woman would see something.
Mrs. Duo thought about going now, received the reward, came back after eating, it was still early, and there was an excuse to come back, so she could not eat, so as to persuade Qingwen's little hoof to drink more soup, and it was best to let her drink all her bowl of soup at that time, so that there would be no evidence left.
Mrs. Duo said: "Since it is the love of the second grandmother, how can we who are subordinates push back and stop it, you wait for me to go back to the house to change into good clothes, and leave immediately." As he spoke, he walked back, trying to put away the broken intestine grass on his body.
That Jiang Niangzi was afraid that there would be some accidents on this trip and miss her child's life, so she finally coaxed the old lady to agree, where would she go back, who knew if she went in, and whether she ran away from the back door for a while, so she pulled the old lady out with a few rough mothers-in-law, and said with a smile: "My good mother, don't rub it anymore, the second grandmother has gone everywhere to invite people, if you are late, those of us who come to invite you, but we will be punished, and please have mercy on my mother." ”
Mrs. Duo thought that it was not good for her to go late, so she took the broken intestine grass well, and went to Jiafu with the Jiang lady and the rough mother-in-law.
After arriving in Jiafu, many old women saw that they were not taking the usual road, so they asked Jiang Niangzi: "I don't know where the second grandmother set up the banquet, how it is very different from the road she took in the past." ”
"Mom, just go, in this Jia Mansion, no matter how familiar I am with your road," Jiang Niangzi said coldly. After all, whoever thinks that he is going to die soon, he will not be in a good mood, the culprit of all this is the dead old woman in front of him, if she hadn't instigated her mother-in-law to tell the second grandmother, her family would not have caused this disaster today, if she hadn't led this mother-in-law to Rongxi Hall, and the lives of her children had not been guaranteed, Jiang Niangzi really wanted to knock this mother-in-law to the ground and bite off a piece of her meat. Coming to Rongxi Hall, there is a mother-in-law standing every ten steps outside, each of them doesn't even speak, how old lady saw an acquaintance, was bought into Jiafu with her in the early years, and there are also walks around during the New Year over the years, she wants to go up to say hello, people don't even raise their heads, although there are a lot of people along the way, but the surroundings are quiet, and Mrs. Duo finally feels that something is wrong.
"Lady Jiang, where is this banquet? Why is there no sound?" asked the old lady worriedly.
"Hmph, mom won't know when she enters this door," Jiang Niangzi said with a sneer.
Seeing that the old lady was about to retreat, the rough mother-in-law rushed up and tied her up.
When she arrived at Rongxi Hall, she was about to cry out for injustice, and saw that the usual high and majestic second grandmother was wearing her hair at this time, and she was so disheveled that she was lying on the ground crying, and the Wang family knelt on the ground, including Jiang Niangzi, who had just deceived herself, also knelt on the ground and begged, and the old lady realized that she had been caught.
I didn't expect that when I was making a set for others, others were also making a set for myself. But it doesn't matter, I'm just running errands below, even if I want to cut off my head, I will cut off the head of the second grandmother in the house first, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, although Mrs. Duo believes in her own thoughts, but there is always a voice in her heart asking her, can those who are officials really judge fairly? But she didn't dare to think about it along this road, so she believed that cutting off her head was also cutting off the head of Lian's second grandmother first.
As soon as I knelt down, I saw a big girl in Jiafu holding a few pieces of paper full of words, and the old lady saw that the second grandmother of Lian drew a charge on a piece of paper, and saw that the Duowang family also drew a charge, and when she came to herself, she wanted to ask, but she saw that the woman was full of fierce faces, and the people in front of her were all drawn, and she thought that she would be fine, so she also obediently drew the charge.
When all the "confessions" were drawn, Mrs. Duo saw an official walk out from behind the curtain and arched her hand to the wife of Jiafu, and Mrs. Duo was relieved.
I heard the ancestor of the Jia family sitting on the top say: "All the subordinates have been recruited, the confessions are here, and the hard-working adults have made a trip." ”
"Is there anything missing?" The adult in the official uniform asked.
"No, these people are here." Jia Mu said softly.
"Then the student can rest assured, this is a family matter of the Jia family, and the lower officials will not bother." After saying that, the adult in the official uniform left.
Later, Mrs. Duo listened to Jia's mother again: "Go and invite the prince to come, just say that the people who put the money in the seal have been caught." Someone ran out of the door.
After a while, I saw a man in a strong suit come in. It doesn't look like the master, but it looks like the guard next to the general that Mrs. Duo saw on the street before, and he is also dressed like this.
As soon as the man in the strong suit entered the door, although he was also saluting, but with that kind of ceremony, the old lady asked herself if she was receiving such a gift, and she felt uncomfortable.
On the side, Zhibai saw that the old lady was also kneeling in it, and she knelt very far forward, side by side with the big family next to her, so she knew that this old lady was probably the "culprit". The prince expected it to be good, and the Jia family would really push people out to take the blame.
Just in case, Zhibai still bowed down to Jia Mu and asked: "I don't know who the mastermind of this matter is, I hope the old lady will tell me that it is better to go back and call back to my lord." Mother Jia laughed, "The family is unfortunate, this matter is that I took the maid next to my granddaughter-in-law and the family of the grandmother who has been released by the late old lady in the family, and it is also funny to say, the master of the family does not dare to do this, but the slave of this slave is bold." Tell the Zhibai guards to see the joke! ”
Zhibai doesn't understand the selfishness in this big family, the master made a mistake, and naturally there are people below to take the blame, but this is exactly what the prince of their family meant, originally how the Jia family was inside, the prince didn't want to care at all, just to avenge Miss Qingwen.
Zhibai remembered what his prince had confessed before leaving, so he said to Jia's mother seriously: "Ancestor, this matter was originally found out by my prince, do you know this?" ”
"Naturally, I know, and I thank your prince so much that I didn't let these subordinates in the family continue to ruin their reputation." Jia Mu said.
