Chapter 3: Stone Marriage
At noon on June 2, the sun hung high in the sky.
The Feng Mansion had just finished lunch.
Aiju picked up some leftover food and was about to go home.
As soon as she stepped out of the mansion, she saw Uncle Ji (Uncle Ji has worked in Feng Mansion for more than 20 years and is responsible for some procurement) standing at the door of the mansion.
She stepped forward and called, "Where are you going, Uncle!"
Uncle Ji replied: You and I have been working together for a while, your house is nearby, I want to go to your house to sit, you won't mind!
Aiju smiled: Don't mind, don't mind, you are a rare guest, you dare to go to my house······
"Why don't I dare go!" Uncle Boom interrupted:
"My house is in tatters." Aiju replied:
Aiju muttered: I'm afraid!
Uncle Qi shouted: What are you afraid of! Let's go.
Whispering all the way, they walked to the door.
Because, the door of the house is not closed.
He stood in the doorway and saw three children sitting around him, the eldest being no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest being about five or six years old.
The children also looked a little shy when they saw the arrival of the living.
Aiju shouted: "Children, come out, come and see Uncle Ji."
The children came out one by one and said, "Hello Uncle Ji!"
Uncle Ji smiled and said: Hello!
Stone (Aiju's eldest son) took the rice bowl from Aiju's hand and put it on the table.
Aiju stretched out her hand and asked, "Uncle Ji, please sit in the back room!"
Uncle Qi walked into Aiju's house and looked around.
Aiju hurriedly wiped the stool and shouted, "Uncle Ji, sit on the stool."
He sat down slowly.
Look at the dilapidated house in front of you.
He seemed to be there.
He seems to have felt and felt all kinds of difficulties in Aiju.
"Uncle, you drink tea." Stone brought a bowl of tea.
Uncle Ji took the tea and drank it warmly.
He saw that the furniture in Aiju's house was all incomplete.
He didn't feel good about it.
He drank the tea in his hand and ran out vigorously.
On the afternoon of the 5th, the rich man's house was bustling.
The second lady knocked desperately on the door of the uncle's room.
It turned out that at noon today, the second lady called Uncle Ji to help her buy rouge gouache.
In the afternoon, Uncle Fu bought the rouge gouache and planned to take it to the second lady.
Because he was in a hurry, he forgot to knock on the door of the second lady.
He broke down the door.
Unfortunately, he bumped into the second lady getting dressed.
Although, it's nothing either!
But the second lady blamed him for not knowing etiquette, and broke into his room without knocking.
The second lady ordered someone to press him to the ground and beat him.
Seeing this scene, Aiju hurriedly ran to tell the third lady.
The third lady turned around and told the rich man Feng and said: Uncle Feng is at fault, just teach a lesson, why take it so seriously!
In the future, who else dares to come to our house to be a servant!
Feng Caizhu said: Zhang Yufen (second lady) is just angry! She's not going to make much of a deal!
The third lady replied: I'm angry, it's a bit too much!
He is in our house—there is no merit, and there is hard work.
He worked hard for our house.
What our house rewarded him with was a severe beating.
Rich Man Feng was stunned and said: This!
"Xianggong, Uncle Ji is an old servant, if he has a good ······" The Third Lady called:
didn't wait for the third lady to finish speaking.
Rich Man Feng rushed out of the room.
He ran to the second lady's room and shouted: What is the noise!
The second lady glanced sideways, saw her husband coming, and said: Xianggong, this subordinate doesn't understand the rules too much.
They didn't knock on my door and broke into my room.
He also ······
"He didn't mean to break into your room, you spare him this time." Feng Caizhu rushed to say:
Rich Feng said: What's more, he didn't disrespect you.
Did You Know? He is the hero of our house, you stop it for me at once.
"Heroes can bully your wife." The second lady replied:
"Master, I didn't, I didn't bully the second lady." Boom Road:
"You peek at me changing clothes!" The second lady continued:
"Shut up." Rich Lord Feng glared at the second lady and shouted:
The second lady said angrily: You don't believe your wife, you believe him.
Rich Man Feng replied: I will believe him today.
The second lady shook her hands and shouted, "Get out of here."
Gradually, the crowd dispersed one by one.
Uncle was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen.
He slowly got up and sat down on the ground.
He touched the wound, and he shivered in pain.
He vaguely glanced at a figure standing in front of him.
He opened his eyes vigorously and saw that it was Aiju.
Aiju bent down and picked up Uncle - back to her home.
When Aiju put Uncle Ji on the bed.
Uncle Zhen screamed in pain, "Wow, wow".
Aiju saw the wounds on Uncle Ji's body, and she couldn't bear it.
She went into the side room and took a little medicine and put it on him.
"Thank you! Thank you! Uncle Boom whispered:
"Thank you! You just go to the third lady to thank you, the third lady has done more than me. Aiju replied:
Uncle Ji thought for a while, and wondered: Why do you want to thank the third lady!
Aiju wrapped up Uncle Ji's wound while telling what happened.
"I thank you! If it's not you! It's no wonder that I'm not crippled by the second lady today! I'm glad I met you. He said:
Aiju said: I'm also very happy to meet you.
It's just that tonight, I have to trouble you to stay in my burrow.
Tonight, you and my sons — squeeze.
Uncle Ji folded his hands, and his gratitude to Aiju was beyond words.
The next morning, he woke up early.
I heard the sound of Uncle getting up.
Aiju also woke up from her sleep.
It didn't take long for Aiju and Ji Bo to rush to the gate of Feng's mansion.
They came too early, and Pingbo (the head of the door) hadn't opened the door yet.
Uncle Pingbo shouted: Pingbo, Pingbo, Xiaopingzi······
"Wait a minute." Ping Bo replied:
Uncle Ji continued: Hurry up!
Ping Bo replied: Urge, urge, urge, urge you big-headed ghost.
Uncle Ji replied: I have injuries on my body, and my whole body hurts.
Ping Bo opened the door and said, "You speak so loudly, and you are not in the way if you are injured."
"Ping Bozao" Aiju called:
When Ping Bo saw Aiju holding Uncle Qi, he felt very uncomfortable.
However, he didn't dare to say anything more!
I could only smile slightly.
The sun on the 12th was particularly dazzling.
Rich Feng's house ushered in a guest, and this guest arrived.
She overturned the previous peace of the Feng Mansion, the guest's name is Zhihua, gender: female, 45 years old this year.
She is the old lady's former maidservant and the wife of Uncle Gentle.
The arrival of the flower, the second lady was overjoyed.
The eldest lady sat in the hall and was warmly welcomed.
Feng Caizhu helped the old lady to "walk like flying".
Seeing the arrival of the old lady, Zhihua hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
When everyone saw the old lady walk into the hall, they saluted: Hello old lady!
The old lady gasped: Okay! Good! Good!
The flower sat down with the old lady in her arms.
The old lady said anxiously: "Flower, you let the old body take a look!" We haven't seen each other in 20 years! How have you been all these years!
Hanamichi: Old lady, I'm fine.
The flower misses you all the time.
The old lady replied: Zhihua, your words are too far-fetched, since you want to be old, why don't you come to see the old body!
Zhihua continued: My house is far from here.
Moreover, there are mountain roads all the way.
The old lady replied: These are excuses.
Zhihua said helplessly: Old lady, there are old and young people in my family, and I really can't leave.
The old lady said: Forget it, forget it, we meet again today after a long absence, it is a happy thing, and I will not mention the past.
"I think back then, when I first married into the Feng family, at that time, I was only 10 years old, when Zhihua was the old lady's maidservant, Zhihua took care of the old lady very much, in a flash, so many years have passed, I have to sigh - time flies." Big lady says:
"I've seen the old lady! I've seen the young master! I've seen a few young masters! He ran into the hall panting.
The old lady shouted, "Come here, come and see your lady."
He walked over with great interest.
Zhihua glanced at his face and said: Old lady, please make the decision for me, this negative man, he is not at all indecent outside behind my back, hooking up and playing with men and women everywhere.
Uncle Ji was a little confused, and said blankly: How can I have it!
The flower said: On the fifth night of the first lunar month, you spent a night with Aiju.
"Ridiculous! Says who! He smiled:
"I don't care who said that! Is there such a thing as this? The flower should say:
"Catch thieves and take stolen goods, catch traitors and catch doubles, there is no evidence, don't chase the wind and shadows here!" He continued:
The flower replied: You don't have to be sloppy! Someone saw you go to Aiju's house, the next morning!
"Go and call Aiju over." When the old lady heard this, she exclaimed:
Wait until Aiju arrives.
She learned all about it.
She was busy clarifying for each other.
"Okay, Aiju, you stand aside, let me speak!" Uncle Boom interrupted:
Uncle Ji said: On the same day, I was punished by the second lady and was injured all over my body.
After that, Aiju helped me to her house to apply the medicine.
At that time, it was already dark, and I slept with her sons for the night.
The flower said: You quibble!
"If you don't believe it! Look at my wound (Gilbert pulls up his sleeve, and there are a few pieces of red printed on it). ”
He continued: If you still don't believe it, the whole house can testify to the events of that day.
Suddenly, the second lady pulled her face up.
The old lady said: "Zhihua, your evidence is not sufficient, it is better to stop this matter!" You're here once, let's go back to our room—chattering with each other.
"Yes, yes, yes, you can accompany my mother well." Feng Caizhu said:
After breakfast the next day, there was a guest sitting at Aiju's house, and the children were at a loss.
I saw him, looking back and forth.
The stone poured a bowl of water for her.
She walked slowly with the water.
Stone asked her.
She kept replying, "I'm your mother's friend." ”
At 13 o'clock, it was time for lunch, and Aiju came back with rice.
The flower saw Aiju and walked into the house.
She leaned over and said, "Aiju, I'm sorry!" Yesterday's thing! I'm sorry for you! I shouldn't be "listening to people's nonsense".
Aiju replied: It's okay! It's okay! You go and sit on a stool.
Zhihua bowed and called: Aiju, I did ······ yesterday's incident
"Let's not talk about yesterday's incident, okay?" Aiju took the hand of the flower and shouted:
The flower smiled: Don't say it.
"I'm going back to Feng's Mansion too." The Flower continues:
"As soon as I come back, you will leave ······" Aiju Says:
"You've all come back from the Feng Mansion······" The Flower interrupted:
"You go back to the house with me, you drink a bowl of tea with me—and then go." Aiju continued:
The flower replied: I drank two bowls of your tea.
Aiju said: You will sit with me.
Hanamichi: Aiju, don't be strong! I!
"If I am strong, I will be strong." Aiju stared at the flower and sneered:
The flower understood what she had said.
She deliberately diverted the topic and called: Aiju, these sons of yours are very interesting, and it is very comfortable to talk to them.
The stone moved over to a stool, and politely beckoned the flower to sit down.
Flower thanks: Thank you!
Aiju brought over a bowl of tea.
Zhihua got up and said: I said no, I listened to the rumors about yesterday's incident, and came to make trouble indiscriminately, which caused you trouble······
"I said it too, but I won't talk about it." Aiju replied:
Zhihua said: Aiju, you and I are both subordinates, your difficulty, I have the most experience, your mind, I also understand, I am not an unreasonable person.
What I did yesterday was completely instigated by others, and I lost my mind for a while.
Aiju sighed in her heart and said: If you don't give up, I will call you "sister".
The flower smiled: I can't ask for it.
Aiju continued: We have all been subordinates, we are considered to be in the same disease, you can open your heart to me, I am very grateful.
Only, now!
"Oh! It wasn't early, we ······ in the evening" The flower glanced outside the door and replied:
That night, Zhihua tossed and turned, and from time to time called Uncle Ji to get up and talk!
She asked: How do you feel about Aiju's character? How are Aiju's children? Aiju ······ she?
After a busy day, Uncle Ji said impatiently: Tomorrow, you can go and see for yourself.
Zhihua looked at it in her heart: Aiju's family is so good, can you go to a relationship with Aiju······
On the morning of the 14th, Zhihua played with several of Aiju's children.
After a quarter of an hour, Aiju returned home with her meal.
Aiju saw that Zhihua was playing with the children, and said with a smile: Sister Zhihua, you are really interested!
Zhihua replied: It's good to have children, those men won't understand.
Aiju responded: Yes, they don't understand.
Zhihua said straight to the point: I came today, I didn't come to talk to you, I want to ask you! Which of your sons has ever been married?
Aiju smiled: My kind of family, who would find my family to marry! Whether the three of them marry or not is an unknown.
Zhihua said: I have a niece, she is 8 years old this year, her name is Qianqian, Qianqian's parents died, I want to marry her to your family.
Aiju smirked: Our family!
"Your family." The Flower Continues:
Aiju said: Our family is so poor!
Zhihua rushed: You think our Qianqian has no parents!
Aiju argued: I'm not disgusted, we!
"You just say you don't agree!" The Flower interrupted:
Aiju closed her mouth and remained silent.
The flower said: If you don't say anything, I will agree with you.
"You have three sons!" The flower muttered:
Aiju said: You don't dislike them, you can pick whichever one you choose.
The flower thinks! The water is a little smaller, and the mound doesn't have the vigor of stone.
In addition, the stone is well-behaved and sensible.
Zhihua said: Stone, I will marry Qianqian to you.
Aiju's face was full of joy······
