Chapter 100: Pretending to be poor Li Xiangzhi
When Mrs. Cao heard this, she looked at Li Xiangcui again and sighed: "Tell the people outside to wait, and this will let people out." ”
Hearing this, Li Xiangcui knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, the old lady is always a filial piety to the whole family, Li Xiangcui is not a fool, what kind of attitude should be at this time, I know it in my heart.
Old Madam Cao shook her head: "Get up, go and tell your sister later." ”
"Yes." Li Xiangcui stumbled a little when she walked, it seems that in the eyes of Mrs. Cao, she simply felt that the sisters were pitiful, it was the widowed mother who worked hard with the family, and finally a scholar died in the capital, and now the widow is gone, pitiful.
The old lady made up a human tragedy in her brain.
Li Xiangcui arrived in the upside-down room and saw Li Xiangzhi combing her hair slowly, with a smile on her face, and she was in a trance.
"Sister, my mother is dead." Li Xiangcui said.
Li Xiangzhi turned her head to look at Li Xiangcui: "What did you say?" ”
"I said that my mother is dead, the second brother is outside the door, let's go back to the funeral, you clean up quickly, the old lady is waiting in front." Li Xiangcui said.
Li Xiangzhi slowly put down the comb in her hand, and her mind was thinking quickly, this death was too strange, and then looked at Li Xiangcui: "How did you die?" ”
"I don't know, I didn't see the second brother either, it was the mother-in-law who came in to pass the word, sister, let's go." Li Xiangcui urged.
Li Xiangzhi grinded her teeth: "What's the hurry?" How can a good person die? Besides, isn't she very capable? I thought that I would be able to live a good life with the wild seeds outside Zhou Yuan, leave us alone, and die at this time, will she still be alive when we go back? ”
"Sister, the lord praises our sisters for their filial piety." Li Xiangcui said this slowly.
Li Xiangzhi grinded her teeth, rubbed her eyes vigorously, rubbed her eyes red, and wrung the soft flesh on her ribs several times when she got up and walked out, and the tears of pain fell out.
This made Li Xiangcui admire, really speaking, she still can't compare to Sister A's ruthlessness!
I twisted myself twice, my eyes were red, and I came forward with tears.
The sisters knelt in front of the old lady, not daring to cry, for fear that the old lady would be discouraged and shed tears silently, and several maids and women around them felt pitiful, not to mention the old lady.
The old lady gave three taels of silver: "Go back quickly, it's not too late to come back after the funeral." ”
Li Xiangcui stretched out her hand to take it, thanked her one after another, got up to help her sister, Li Xiangzhi suddenly lay straight on the ground, her eyes closed.
Now everyone panicked, the old lady ordered someone to call the house doctor to come over, Li Xiangzhi was placed in the side room, Li Xiangcui stayed by the bedside, wondering what kind of trouble this was, but the house doctor gave a pulse diagnosis, and the silver needle pricked the person, which could not make Li Xiangzhi wake up, it was already dark outside.
"That's it!" Mrs. Cao instructed the carriage to be prepared outside, so that Li Xiangcui could go back to the funeral, but this person was unconscious and couldn't go back.
Outside the door, Li Jinghe was waiting in a hurry, the gate opened, the coachman drove the carriage out, Li Xiangcui knelt at the gate and kowtowed a few times when she got off the car, and then pulled Li Jinghe into the carriage and rushed to Lijiazhuang overnight.
After Li Xiangcui walked for at least one stick of incense, Li Xiangzhi woke up 'leisurely'.
At this time, it is the time for dinner in the house, and the rules in the house are that as long as the old man has no entertainment outside, dinner must be accompanied by the old lady.
The maid who was guarding Li Xiangzhi went to Mrs. Cao's side and lowered her voice: "Old lady, Xiangzhi is awake, but she can't eat or drink and cry pitifully, what should I do?" ”
When Cao Zhirong heard this, his ears were slightly red, and it was really a shame to say that he was old enough to do ridiculous things, and the master of a decent family was looking for flowers and willows outside, and he never touched the maid ring at home, and the rabbit didn't eat the grass by the nest, but he didn't know why he didn't control it.
"Tell her that Cui'er has gone back to the funeral, if she wants to go back, let's arrange it tomorrow morning." Mrs. Cao said.
Yahuan retreated.
Mrs. Cao put down her chopsticks and glanced at her daughter-in-law lightly: "Speaking of which, it's not easy to be a person this time, filial piety is bigger than the sky, and now Xiangzhi's family came to pick them up, saying that their mother died of illness." ”
These words were too piercing, and Mrs. Cao didn't say anything.
Instead, Cao Zhirong asked: "She is ......." ”
As soon as he dared to speak, he found that his wife looked at it, and the words behind him were held back.
Old Madam Cao took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth: "These sisters are really filial people, especially my sister Xiangzhi, I can't bear to pass out, don't you just wake up, maybe she is weak." ”
This last sentence was obviously for Cao Zhirong.
"Mother is really a good master of compassion." Mrs. Cao couldn't bear to say something.
Mrs. Cao picked up the tea and rinsed her mouth, spit it into the copper basin, and picked up the handkerchief again to wipe the corners of her mouth: "So, as a master, you have to cultivate virtue, do you really think that the prosperity of this family is a blessing from heaven?" If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster, my son reads a lot, my mother is not wrong, right? ”
"Yes, Mother is right." Cao Zhirong hurriedly replied.
Mrs. Cao was fed up with such a beating and got up: "Daughter-in-law retires." ”
Old Madam Cao nodded, Mrs. Cao walked out, and Cao Zhirong also stood up.
Mrs. Cao, who was in the door and outside the door, heard Mrs. Cao say: "Zhirong, go over and take a look, no matter what, it's your own woman, we can't be a merciless person, birth, old age, sickness and death are big things." ”
A mouthful of blood almost didn't spit out, and Mrs. Cao left quickly, wishing that she would die before she married Cao Zhirong! I've had enough of the fire pit in this land of tigers and wolves!
Cao Zhirong was told this by his mother, so he could only say yes.
Mrs. Cao was obviously intentional, and said: "People are placed in the East Chamber, go, our family has to cultivate virtue, and accumulating virtue is accumulating children and grandchildren." ”
After Dumiao's son died, he felt that his spirit and spirit had been taken away, and Cao Zhirong, who wanted to ask for an heir, dared not go? Get up and go to the east chamber.
As soon as Cao Zhirong entered the house, Li Xiangzhi, who was full of tears, pounced over, and didn't dare to bump into Cao Zhirong's arms, but just held the big belt around Cao Zhirong's waist, slowly knelt down and raised his little face full of tears, looked at Cao Zhirong's face, and pleaded in a choked voice: "Master, Xiangzhi wants to keep a wake for her mother, ......." ”
"Hurry up." Cao Zhirong bent down to help Li Xiangzhi get up, and Li Xiangzhi fell into Cao Zhirong's arms weakly and bonelessly.
Nephrite is in his arms, and he is a filial little pitiful, Cao Zhirong suddenly felt very sorry in his heart, and took a handkerchief to wipe Li Xiangzhi's tears: "That's it, let people prepare the carriage, and I will send you back, don't cry." ”
Li Xiangzhi held down Cao Zhirong's hand to wipe her tears, and her shoulders shook and said: "Mother is gone, Xiangzhi's sky is falling, master, Xiangzhi can't live, woo woo." ”
"Don't worry, I'm still here, let's go back to the funeral first." After Cao Zhirong said this, he was stunned!
