Chapter XIX. finale
Zhibai heard this and said: "The prince of our family is the most visible but sitting, that is, he governs the army in the army on weekdays, and he is also a person who does things, so our prince hopes that this time the matter will also be done by one person, these subordinates of your family, who are contaminated, no matter how much punishment is not too much, the prince will never ask." But their family, if they don't know it, according to the will of our prince, they will also reprimand, after all, I heard that the eldest lady in the house, now the virtuous concubine Niangniang, is about to return to Ning, and it is not good if things get bigger, what do you think? ”
After hearing this, Jia Mu naturally said yes again and again. Mother thought that since this matter had caused trouble to King Beijing, if she wanted to keep a low profile, I am afraid it would not be so easy, after all, don't look at their family now has a princess, but compared with the Beijing Palace, it is still very bad, after all, King Beijing has been favored by the royal family for generations. I didn't expect the King of Beijing to be so understanding, if it weren't for the two young ladies in the two mansions, one of them was too old and would have entered the palace, and the other was still too young, still eight or nine years old girl, and the other young ladies were too low, they were all concubines, and they couldn't reach the lintel of the Beijing Palace, otherwise, they really wanted to marry their granddaughter to Shui Rong.
After listening to Jia's mother's words, Zhibai knew that his goal had been achieved, so he didn't say anything more, and bowed back to the house.
And when Mrs. Duo heard Mother Jia say that the main culprits were herself and Laiwang's family, she was already stunned, she didn't expect that things would really develop in the direction she didn't dare to think about. She actually became the mastermind of the whole thing, but just as she was about to struggle, the rough woman on the side covered her mouth.
After Zhibai left, Jia Mu said to the kneeling subordinates below: "You also heard it just now, this matter has nothing to do with the master of the house," Jia Mu saw the Laiwang family, her face was like ashes, and she knew that the family had died and would not make any more waves.
If it weren't for the generosity and benevolence of King Beijing, I was afraid that my family would have been sued, and she hated it: "Dog slave, if it weren't for your instigation, the grandmother in the house would not have committed such a disaster, you still dare to disagree, you confessed to this crime today, if you don't admit it, be careful of your family's life, I just heard that your daughter-in-law is pregnant." "How old lady didn't expect her own affairs, Jia's mother knew so much detail, she only learned yesterday that her daughter-in-law had a child in her belly, this adulteress has been guarded at home by herself for nearly half a year, not leaving an inch, and now she has just been pregnant for two or three months, and her belly must be her grandson, and her family is a slave of the Jia family, even if she is not satisfied, it is just that it has affected the lives of her own family, and it can't be how, thinking of this, I can't help but be disheartened, Jia's mother sees how old lady is like this, I also understood that she would not have much to do, so she ordered the little maid to press down the old lady and the Laiwang family, and then discussed with everyone, and decided to return the principal that could be returned first, to compensate for the families of those who died, and the monthly money deducted by Sister Feng Surilik, as for those who are really difficult, or not come back, they burned the note, also known as Mrs. Wang's housekeeper, Sister Feng's family, and the family will be separated after the New Year.
Qingwen didn't ask much after Mrs. Wang left, after all, it was the master's business, and in a big mansion like Jiafu, the less she knew, the safer it was. Qingwen took the bag she had embroidered for Si Qi these days, and went to the Jinyuan to find Si Qi, just when she saw Si Qi on the soles of her shoes, although Qingwen still remembered the mother's affairs in her heart, but it was not good to show it in front of Si Qi. And Si Qi saw Qingwen coming, so he hid his shoes behind him, the two of them got along these days, and the relationship was already like a sister, Qingwen saw her hiding behind, so she naturally wanted to go to see it, turned left and right, the good sister kept shouting, Si Qi was so entangled by Qingwen that he had no choice but to take out his shoes and show them to Qingwen.
Qingwen saw that these shoes were a pair of men's boots, with a white soap surface, and the boots were embroidered with autumn-colored threads with pieces of auspicious clouds, Qingwen thought that Si Qi was a boot for his father and brother at home, but Si Qi had only one younger brother in the family, and he was only seven or eight years old, and the boots were obviously the yardage of an adult man, so naturally they would not be made for her younger brother, and such fancy, Si Qi's father would never wear such boots, so it is very likely that Si Qi had a sweetheart, and this boot was made by her for her sweetheart.
Qingwen had never loved anyone in her previous life, so she didn't know what it was like to have a sweetheart, but as a maid in the house, she knew that if a maid was a man's thing in private, if it was not for her parents and the master she was serving, it would be a big crime, especially if the personal maid next to Miss Fuzhong spread such a thing, it would be in a family as lenient as the Jia family, and the closest person would also beat the board and throw it out.
Qingwen saw that no one was paying attention to them around, so she quickly hid her boots in Si Qi's embroidery basket, and then asked Si Qi seriously: "Good sister, who are you making boots for?" ”
Si Qi's face was full of shyness when he heard this, and while wrapping his hair, he turned around and lowered his head and whispered, "Naturally, it is made for the family." ”
When Qingwen saw her like this, she naturally didn't believe it, so she turned to Si Qi, held Si Qi's arm, and said to Si Qi seriously: "If my sister still recognizes me as a younger sister, please tell my sister the truth, who made these boots?" ”
Si Qi didn't expect Qingwen to say such serious words, he was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Good sister, don't say that, we are sisters of righteousness, heaven and earth have witnesses, I naturally recognize you as a sister, you want to know, I tell you that this is what I did for my cousin Pan You'an, you have also seen this person, that is, the one who brought us incense and candles on the day we paid homage in the rose garden, sister, do you remember?" ”
After Si Qi said this, Qingwen remembered who it was, but Qingwen didn't have a good impression of that person, she just met roughly that day, and she didn't have any impression, but she just felt that although this man was handsome, he behaved obscenely and not atmospheric.
Later, when he was chatting with Si Qi on weekdays, Si Qi said that the man had asked her to go out of the house several times, but every time Qingwen stopped her, Si Qi didn't go. Since then, Qingwen has felt that this Pan You'an is not a good person, if he is a serious person, how can he often ask a woman to go out to play, although it is his cousin, but both of them have grown up.
And this world is so unfair to women, if the behavior of the two will gossip outside in the future, when it comes to Pan Youan, the woman thinks he is not very good, but she will not let go of her heart, and the man will only think that this is a romantic affair, as long as it does not reach the ears of the master, no matter whether he Pan Youan marries Si Qi or another person in the future, there will be no hindrance to him. And when it comes to his sister-in-law Si Qi, regardless of men or women, they are all spurned, the light is just gossiping in person, and the heavy one may have to sue the master, and when the time comes, it is difficult to say whether there is a life.
Besides, when he was kicked out in the previous life, Si Qi was also kicked out, and later when he was seriously ill, he listened to his sister-in-law and people chatting about melon seeds, Qingwen knew that Si Qi was kicked out because he had a personal relationship with Pan You'an, and later heard that Pan You'an secretly ran away on the day Si Qi was kicked out, and he didn't know where he was.
Qingwen heard that Si Qi was the person, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Good sister, you also know, I have no father and no mother, although I have a cousin, but I am not close, you are my only relative in this house, my sister will not harm you, you know, right?" ”
Seeing that Qingwen said sincerely, Si Qi remembered that her parents died, and couldn't help but pity her sad life, stroked Qingwen's hair and said: "I naturally believe in you, sister, just say whatever you want, sister listen." ”
"Sister is the eldest girl next to the second miss, your words and deeds are related to the reputation of the second miss, we are slaves and maids, only if the master is good, we will be good, if the people outside know that my sister is making boots for men, what will they think of the second miss, in other words, if the lady knows, what kind of punishment will my sister receive? Sister has to think twice," Qingwen said with a concerned face.
Si Qi didn't think so much about it when she was dealing with her cousin on weekdays, but after listening to Qingwen today, she was enlightened and understood how dangerous what she was doing, so she said to Qingwen gratefully: "Thank you, sister, sister will be careful in the future, and she will not bring these things to the mansion again." ”
Qingwen wanted to directly persuade Si Qi not to contact Pan You'an, but she thought that maybe the more she objected, and then Pan You'an took the opportunity to pull her to make an oath before the moon, and the more she felt that Pan You'an was more affectionate to her than Jin Jian, wouldn't she fall deeper and deeper? Just as Qingwen was about to continue to persuade Si Qi, Chunyan, the little maid of Yihong Courtyard, came and said to Qingwen: "Sister Qingwen, there is a woman in our courtyard, saying that she is your cousin-in-law, and she is looking for you for something." ”
When Qingwen heard this, she was overjoyed, thinking that her cousin-in-law was here to tell her about her mother, and she also took care of her boss's chess, but she just attached it to Si Qi's ear, told her a few words, and then hurried back with Chunyan.
Qingwen returned to Yihong Courtyard to see that her sister-in-law was still waiting for her at the door. Seeing her coming, I was sorry to say to her: "Sister, my mother-in-law doesn't know what crazy she is smoking today, and I have to invite you home for dinner today. ”
Qingwen thought that this time she could also ask her cousin what was going on, so she took leave with Mama Li and went with her cousin-in-law, and along the way, her cousin-in-law complained about how annoying her mother-in-law was usually and was picky all day long.
Qingwen saw that her cousin-in-law did not have any respect for her cousin, and she was very embarrassed in her heart, her cousin was adulterous and vicious, so her son drank all day and had no interest, and her daughter-in-law hated her, which may be her retribution.
