Chapter 9: The Fish Is Hooked
After all, they are just descendants of the Xi family, and they naturally can't say anything about the girl's marriage, and in the final analysis, it still depends on the meaning of the lady.
It's just that on the day of the raid, the lady didn't want to drag others down, and cut off her in-laws, although she preserved her reputation, but it also completely ruined the way for her daughters to survive.
Dai Qiu thought for a while and said: "My sister said very well, but although our family is a scholarly family, it is not such a rotten Confucian, you see that Mrs. generously agreed to Xue Gongzi to invite the girl to go on a cruise, you know that Mrs. is a knowledgeable person, and she will never ignore the girl's wishes when it comes to marriage."
I thought to myself, as long as the Guogong Mansion came to propose, Mrs. would not refuse to allow it, so the key is to look at Xue Gongzi himself, and let him feel from the bottom of his heart that our girl is his best match. ”
In the middle of the night, Dai Qiu also deliberately picked up the lamp and went up to the attic to take a look, and looked through the window to see the outside of the wall of the Xi Mansion, and sure enough, there was a neat team of government soldiers walking by, and they were wearing the service of the Guogong Mansion, so they were completely relieved.
For two days, there was no movement.
In the second half of the night on the third day, Dai Qiu suddenly heard a commotion outside the wall in his sleep, and hurriedly got up in his clothes and walked face to face with the peach branch that heard the news on the other side.
Taozhi asked while arranging her robe, "Sister, but has the fish taken the bait?" ”
Dai Qiu: "Just go out and see." ”
The two walked out of the courtyard hand in hand, and there were already many people standing noisily outside.
Pushing aside the crowd, I saw Laiwang, the little guy who was specially assigned to be on duty at night, was pressing Xiangxue's head with one hand at the moment, and tied her arm with the other hand, telling her to not move.
There were also some hairpin rings, gold and silver and some paper scattered around, Dai Qiu picked it up and looked through the moonlight.
It turned out to be a waste paper manuscript practiced by the three girls, and I was called to take it and throw it away earlier, but for some reason it is still left until now.
Thinking of what this Xiangxue did later in the dream, Dai Qiu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
This ill-intentioned thing that left the three girls behind, shouldn't it be that he wants to find someone to imitate the handwriting!
Xiangxue pressed her head on the ground, she couldn't see anyone, she just thought it was the third girl who came, crying and begging: "It's me who is fascinated by the ghost for a while, the lard is blinded, and I covet the money in the girl's house, I promise that there will be no next time, beg the girl to spare me this time!" ”
Dai Qiu said lightly: "The girl is usually not thin on you, if you lack food and clothing, just tell the girl, the girl has nothing to disagree, why bother with these methods." ”
Xiangxue heard that it was Dai Qiu's voice, and changed her way of low and small, her face was close to the ground, and she still said arrogantly: "It turned out to be you!" You stinky girl bought outside, what qualifications do you have to teach me, I want to see the girl! ”
Taozhi shouted: "If you commit this kind of thing, the girl won't see you, I'm afraid that even your old son and mother will be affected by you and driven out together." ”
Xiangxue was horrified, and finally didn't dare to continue to talk back.
Dai Qiu called Laiwang to let go of Xiangxue a little, picked up the paper on the ground and asked her, "What are you stealing these for?" ”
Xiangxue said hesitantly: "I took it when I saw that it looked good, and I thought it would be good to go back and paste the window." ”
Dai Qiu's anger and blood surged for a while, threw the paper in front of her, and shouted: "I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin, are you waiting for me to arrest you and Jia Huixin's people on the spot, and you are willing to say?" ”
Xiangxue was shocked, today's things are just theft for anyone to see, although the Xi Mansion does not tolerate internal thieves, but for the sake of her family working in the Xi Mansion for many years, at most she was driven to the Zhuangzi outside the city to farm.
But if he is found to have conspired with outsiders to frame his master, he will break his bones and throw them on the street to fend for himself, or he will be punished by the government and eaten in prison.
She never expected that all this would be seen clearly by Dai Qiu, and she couldn't help but feel a chill, and her body trembled.
"I don't quite understand what my sister is saying."
She has always believed that she is the son of the family in this house, and her status is superior, and she has never obeyed Dai Qiu's discipline, when did she speak softly like this?
Dai Qiu knew it in his heart, and he didn't talk to her quickly, so he directly ordered Laiwang to say: "You take her to the front yard to see Lebo, and after you get back to the scene, send the official overnight, and I will go back to the girl." ”
Laiwang was strong, and said loudly, grabbing Xiangxue's collar, and dragged several steps while speaking, causing Xiangxue to scream.
"Sister spare my life, I said, I said it all!"
The corners of Dai Qiu's mouth hooked slightly, thinking that this matter was going well today, if he could say that Xiangxue was used as bait to find out the maid beside Jia Huixin, he would not be able to reveal her hypocritical and despicable true face.
As soon as Xiangxue's words fell, he heard a few shouts not far away: "Xiangxue!" O my son! ”
Listening to the voice, it was Xiangxue's old sons and mothers who rushed over.
Xiangxue seemed to have a support behind her, and instantly became angry, and said: "I am a second-class maid in the girl's room, my father is a person next to the master, if you dare to persecute me, I will die here, and I will make all of you pay for my life!" ”
Xiangxue's father and mother pushed through the crowd and came in, and when they saw their daughter's resolute appearance, they were frightened for a while, hugged their daughter and cried: "What's the matter, who is so ruthless that they want to force you to death?" ”
Xiangxue howled and cried, and cried indiscriminately: "Dad, mother, they, they want to rip off my clothes in front of so many men, isn't this trying to force me to death?" ”
Between Fang Laiwang and her, Xiangxue was indeed disheveled, her hair was loose, and she cried like a tearful person, at first glance, it was indeed like she had been bullied.
When Xiangxue's mother heard this, she looked around angrily, a pair of shrewd and powerful little eyes were shining, and she said viciously: "Who is it?" Whoever wants to force my daughter to death, come at me first! ”
Xiangxue's father only knew how to hold Xiangxue and cry, one by one: "My poor daughter." ”
Dai Qiu has not been in Xifu for a few years, and he has seen some old servants who are senior in their own years, and Xiangxue's mother is one of the more difficult ones.
She was concise and said: "Xiangxue and her mother, today Xiangxue stole the gold and silver in the third girl's room, and was caught red-handed by the family, plus she also hid the paper in the third girl's handwriting, for the sake of the girl's reputation, I had to interrogate her in detail, and there was no such thing as stripping her clothes." ”
Xiangxue Niang exploded when she heard this, and protected Xiangxue's whole person behind her, like an old hen who cared for her cubs, and shouted at Daiqiu: "My daughter has always followed the rules and will not steal a single stitch from the master's family, you are framing and planting!" You, a stinky girl bought outside, dare to ride on my daughter's head to if you can coax the three girls, I tell you, delusional! ”
Lai Wang on the side couldn't listen to it, and said: "Today, people have obtained stolen goods, how can they be framed and planted?" Xiang Xue Niang, don't mess around. ”
Xiang Xue Niang simply jumped up, grabbed his wrist and was about to bite, and said: "I said that it was framed or framed, I have been in the house for more than 30 years, and I can still tell lies and deceive a few of you, and it is not a good thing for you to help outsiders calculate my daughter!" Look at me and don't skin you alive! ”
"I'd like to see, whose skin are you trying to peel?"
