118 The phoenix that falls on the shelf is not as good as a chicken
On the way back to Qiushuangzhai after dinner, Tanchun Fufu touched the words of Sister Feng'er's master and servant, and couldn't help asking, "What do they mean?" ”
Qiushuangzhai is quite close to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of Yihong Courtyard, and the maids in several places often gather in one place to pass the time, or needlework or embroidery, and they also know a lot of gossip between the masters.
Now when he saw Tanchun asking, he whispered the little words he heard, "There are rumors in the house that the second grandmother and the second master Bao have an accident on the front and back feet, and there is Aunt Zhao here." In front of the Grand View Garden, there was a search and a take, presumably the wife already knew it, but she didn't come up with the charter for a long time, which made the masters leave their hearts in private......"
"Nonsense!" Tanchun turned his head angrily, and kept his mouth shut during the book period, and his expression could not hide his remorse.
She shouldn't rashly say these unfounded words to the girl, the wife is the mother-in-law of her girl, such a divisive calculation, even if it is out of the painstaking efforts of the elders to the younger generations, it is still embarrassing.
"Please forgive the girl."
Tanchun pulled the account book in the hand of the waiter, flipped through it randomly, and the paper rubbed and made a rattling sound, just like her messy heart.
"What else do you hear?" Tanchun asked, and after that, he remembered the time when he searched for the maid in the Grand View Garden, and said, "Go back and talk about it." ”
Daiyu has a country woman in the yard to recuperate, and she has already made the people in the house look down on her a few times. Coupled with the fact that Mrs. acquiesced to Baochai being her daughter-in-law, Daiyu had not appeared in the house for a long time after vomiting blood.
After returning to Qiushuangzhai, Tanchun pinched his eyebrows and said for a long time: "The matter of attacking people, since my wife said that it is according to the maid's example, then it will be done according to the system." On the old lady's side, just ask Baoyu to talk about it herself. ”
But he said that he attacked people, and got ten taels of condolence silver sent by the house, and immediately hated and pained, and asked his brother Hua Zifang to lose it again, and he started to heat up at night.
Shi Xiangyun is benevolent and righteous, knowing that her family is in the midst of her mother's filial piety, and she is afraid that she will be too busy to get out, so she casually pointed to a five or six-year-old Mao girl who went to Hua's house with a decoction on her back, saying that she was taking care of the attacker.
As a matter of fact.
Who takes care of whom is not certain, seeing the little girl sleeping on all fours beside her, the attacker simply opened his eyes, and he was not upset if he couldn't see it.
She used to be a dead-eyed person, and she served whoever the old lady asked her to serve.
When did you change your state of mind?
Did you see Baoyu being beaten by the lord and bringing pear blossoms and rain? After seeing Baoyu ask his wife to reprimand him for not being as good as Uncle Zhu, he was afraid that his mother would not like it, so he was so scared that he didn't even dare to sleep at night? Or will Baoyu take care of the frostbite on her hands carefully? The attacker herself can't say well, when did she have the heart to stay by Baoyu's side all the time.
Right now, she was lying on the dusty clay kang, and the mattress on her head was the same as her mother had been lying a few days ago, and when her blocked nostrils were struggling to breathe, it seemed that she still had the smell of her mother's body.
"In the end, it's a person like the deputy miss, it's been been kicked out for so long, and there are still ten taels of buried silver, tsk, it's a surprise." Hua Zifang's surprised voice sounded next door, and as soon as people heard it, the cold tears did not enter the bun.
The Hua family house is not big, and there is a large yard on the edge of the city that is neither new nor old, but there are only five rooms.
Miss Shi is a miserable person again, and she can't help her ask for a maid's room, and the master and servant of the Chase shop can't look down on her, so they simply ask her to go home every other day to live.
In the small courtyard of this flower family, five people are crowded together on weekdays, and some quarrels have to break out from time to time. Now that my mother is gone, my sister-in-law has never come back since she returned to her parents' house, but it is cold and empty, which makes people panic.
The old man of the Hua family took a puff of hookah and said: "Okay, you can save some, look at her every day, I thought I could fly up the branches again, look at the pheasant-like daughter now, even the toes of the previous one are not as good!" ”
The self-attacker left Baoyu, and even the days with the Hua family were stretched. Now this picky appearance, as if the prince and grandson are like cabbage, all over the street, as if they are chosen by their flowers!
"Ahem, I heard that she ......" Hua Zifang laughed evilly and said: "Dad, put this silver in my hand first, I'll look for a way to see if I can see the second master of the treasure, my sister Hua Zifang, is it that he wants to want it, and throws it away if he wants it?" ”
The noisy sound gradually blurred, and there was a little infatuation in the hearts of the attackers, but more of it was suffocating.
I want to be in Baoyu's room in the past, from the big to the valuables, to the small monthly food, she is in charge, whether it is flowers or rewards, Baoyu has always been operated by her, never cared.
Now it's a cloud of smoke, and it's gone.
"How? In the past, you said that I was cheap, but I only said that you had better stay on the clouds, otherwise you will fall ten times cheaper than me! What does that mean? The phoenix chicken that fell on the shelf is not as good. Liu Cui, the sister-in-law who attacked the people, gloated.
As soon as she heard that the Jia family came to send a bereavement pension, she came back again.
I saw the attacker lying on the bed unconsciously, chewing the dregs of the medicine in the medicine bag.
She cursed, scooped a scoop of rainwater under the eaves in her hand, threw the medicine in the iron pot and cooked it so indiscriminately, casually threw a fire into the stove, and was busy laughing at her rather annoying sister-in-law.
"It's really feng shui in turns, what about your young master?"
Her sister-in-law is not very good-looking, but she is thin and slender, and she is used to speaking weakly.
But these are all illusions.
Liu Cui knew that this little sister-in-law girl was a famous woman, and she didn't know how many times she had been ridden, so she didn't have an explanation for a long time, and now she was still waiting by the side of a big girl.
These high-ranking families are really shameless, and they are even more shameless than these poor and lowly doors.
"Everyone in the family says that you have a great future, and from time to time you send back some rags, ouch, your wife values it like something. Your brother also said that you have a creation and will be an aunt in the future, but you are a master. Liu Cuipi didn't smile.
"It's just that your wife is a soft person, if it were me, my own girl would have been so indiscriminate before she got married, and I would have shaved her with big ears! I was originally kind enough to endure you, and I also expected you to promote and pull your brother, but now it's good, the original business is called that kind of smoking dog thing. ”
Speaking of these parents, Liu Cui gritted her teeth with hatred, and couldn't help but insult: "Useless things, let men bully only know how to cry, blind your innocent body!" ”
Attacking people nesting on the earthen kang, so that this sentence of the market obscenity fell on her body like a needle, her body was thin, and her empty sleeves hung on her body, like a rolled yellow leaf in autumn, revealing a kind of loneliness that would not fall.
"Hey, don't die at home, your brother hasn't given birth yet, what's the matter with the successive deaths?" The Chinese medicine soup that had just been boiled, Liu Cui simply and rudely scooped a bowl with a pottery bowl with medicinal residues, and put it heavily on the table, waiting for the attacker to lean out as if he was laughing.
She was very thirsty, and from last night to now, for seven or eight hours, she drank a bowl of cold water and asked this little girl to fetch water, but no one in the Hua family paid attention to her.
He didn't tell her where the fire was, nor how the wood stove was burned.
The attack was impossible, so she had to tell her to go to the well to get some cold water, who knew that this little girl also stumbled and couldn't do well, not to mention the wet half of her clothes, and almost planted in the well, and asked Hua Dad to scold Huai for a while.
Now that I think about it, as her cheap sister-in-law said, falling from the clouds, the retribution will come fast enough.
The world is big, and there is no 'home' that she can go to, and now that her mother is gone, she doesn't even have roots, where do you care what Liu Cui says.
Liu Cuipi didn't smile, she scolded for a long time after talking for a long time, but she didn't see her sister-in-law replying at all, she felt bored, and after watching it for a while, she left Shi Shiran.
The attacker was so thirsty that he burned so hard that he almost didn't throw the soup to the ground. In addition, her throat was dry and itchy, and she couldn't say a word when she opened her mouth, and she couldn't even wake up the little girl.
was worried, when she saw Hua Zifang coming in, she asked her: "Now you have seen this situation, do you have any tokens of the second master of Bao on you?" I'm tired and tired, so I'll help you run errands and send it there. ”
"Alas, sister, didn't my brother say you, look, this day, where can you live? You better go back, our family is still the same as before, outside your lord, inside my lord, this life will be better. Seeing that the attacker didn't speak, Hua Zifang touched her nose, as if she found something, and stepped forward to hand her the decoction.
Bewitched: "Don't blame your sister-in-law, she is angry." A maid from a big family, like you, can entrap men and buy people, no, that Mingyan also asked me to drink tea in private, it can be seen that he is thinking about you. ”
said, did not take the attacker as an outsider, said a lot of obscene meat, taught her how to re-envelop Jia Baoyu, and the words were mean for the first time.
The attacker was funny, humiliated and tired, poured down the half-cold decoction in one gulp, and said hoarsely with all his strength: "What, without me in this family, you and your father can't even be a pillar?" ”
"How do you talk!" Hua Zifang was so angry that she almost jumped to her feet.
But he was greedy for the wealth and nobility when he followed Jia Baoyu, and with his anger, he said thoughtlessly You wait, and then turned around and went out.
Ten taels of silver, in ordinary people's homes, may be a lot of money, but the attacker has also seen the wealth and romance, ten taels of silver in the eyes of the masters, not a fart.
The year before last, the second grandmother could wave her hand to give twenty taels to the poor relatives who played the autumn breeze, and Baoyu could buy sixty or seventy taels to buy a piece of ink that could not be used twice a year, which was Qingwen's little hooves, and she could get fifteen taels of silver a month.
Ten taels.
Scold.
The wife hated her so far.
When you use her, one by one, when you don't use her, you don't even want to give you the dignity to break up, no wonder one by one sons either can't keep them or can't make them.
What if you have a concubine daughter? The concubine is a person from the heavenly family, a fool like Mrs. Wang, sooner or later, the bamboo basket will be empty.
"Sister Raider......"
The attacker was full of curses, and the tender sister pulled back, and saw the little girl looking at herself timidly, as if there was something unspeakable.
"What's wrong?" I don't have a good way to attack people, I really don't know if Miss Shi is stupid or doesn't understand, who can such a small girl serve, it's almost the same to add chaos.
The little girl twisted and pinched, her face turned red, and she said cautiously: "I want to come out of Gong." ”
“…… Go ahead. The attacker sighed, lay down in his clothes, and ignored the people.
In the spring of March, the flowers in the Grand View Garden are red and willow green, and the large clusters of hibiscus bloom gorgeously.
But appreciating the flowers and willows and appreciating the spring, that is the Yaxing of the masters, Mingyan carried the entrustment on his back, and received three taels of silver, but Baoyu slept more and woke up less, causing him to have no way to ask for help, full of resentment.
"Hurry, hurry! Put this sand in, let's do this for the first time, I don't know if we can do it, we need to get a few more. Yunzhu urged Xiaohong all the way, holding the mussel shell with one hand, and piercing a small hole in the mussel meat with the other hand, and the two worked together to put the sand in.
Xiaohong didn't speak yet, but Mingyan, who was guarding the water's edge, was disdainful, "Can this work?" I've heard that the mussel shells of the raw pearls are precious, and you still pick the big ones, and turn back to the forest steward......"
Maybe the original intention was to tie up Xiaohong, the housekeeper's daughter, but Mingyan had something in her heart, and her words were full of yin and yang, which made people uncomfortable.
Yunzhu has a lot of words, maybe because she listens more and talks less, so she is particularly sensitive to the emotions of others, seeing Mingyan depressed, she whispered: "It's okay, I also contributed money, and the loss is mine." ”
Fifty taels of silver pearl mussels, nearly a thousand amounts, isn't it enough for her to do a few experiments?
Xiaohong, who was originally scheming, saw Yunzhu say this, and suddenly felt that she was a villain, and almost said not to waste such words, fortunately, fortunately.
So he turned to ask Mingyan: "What's wrong with you today?" Such a big fire? Who hired you? ”
"Alas, the third girl also said before that the days are long, and it is tiring to visit the garden all day, so she wants to form a poetry club. Our second master loves this kind of excitement the most, Sister Xiaohong, you say, when will our second master go out? Mingyan said, leaning crookedly on Xiaohong's side, as if she was in good shape.
Xiaohong coughed lightly and told Mingyan to stand up, don't be unorthodox. Yun Zhu hugged the clam shell and laughed innocently, and said in her heart that Jia Yun is really charming, which makes the girl's family pay attention to her own reputation.
"How do I know? But the monk said that at most 7749 days, it will be all right. Xiao Hongxin said, it doesn't matter if it's all right, now it's good to eat and sleep every day.
How much effort do people save?
Mingyan watched the two toss the clam shells for a while, then went out of the yard with a frown, and saw Hua Zifang guarding outside, he threw three taels of silver to Hua Zifang like throwing a hot potato.
He said in a low voice: "You don't have to come to look for it, Second Master Bao is sick now, where can I take care of these things?" ”
Seeing that Hua Zifang nodded and wanted to defend, he said vaguely: "I know that Sister Raider is unhappy, but what can I do?" Our wife is the most agreeable, not to mention, the master also agrees to this matter. ”
Mingyan has always been articulate, but now that he has lost power, where is he still patient to deal with Hua Zifang? I saw a roll of my eyes, and I saw Li Gui walking over with a small house.
"It's your brother, what kind of wind blew you here, Mama Li is okay now?"
As he spoke, he put Hua Zifang aside and talked to Li Gui by himself.
