Chapter 16: The Second Room
It turned out that when the main house was quiet for a while, it was Mrs. Bo who was waiting for the second wife Yao, Yao naturally knew that her daughter went to the main courtyard in the afternoon, but she didn't think much about it, although it was not the time to ask for peace, but among the granddaughters, Mrs. Bo valued her daughter the most, and her daughter often went to the main courtyard to talk to Mrs. Bo during the time period of asking for peace.
So after dinner, when Lu Wu went to Yinghe Courtyard to pass on Mrs. Bo's words and invited her to the main courtyard, Yao thought that Mrs. Bo was going to talk to her about the affairs of the military department, and thought of the fact that the three maids such as Shen Shui were taken away by Yu Yapo in Liu'er Hutong in the morning, so there was a reply.
When Yao hurried to the main courtyard, he happened to meet her husband who came back from outside but was full of alcohol.
"Woman's kindness! Okay, okay, you're a living bodhisattva, be kind, I'll let you ...... Your mother's family is here to fill this hole! ”
When Yao saw her husband, she had just blessed her body, and before she could say nagging words such as "Why did you drink so much again, it hurt your body too much", she was scolded by Geng Cheng pointing at the door and scolding him violently.
"Girl, although the slave maid used to think that the second master was ...... is not like a good person, there is a fierce color between his eyebrows and eyes, but he has never heard him speak so loudly, and he still said it to the second wife, tsk, not to mention that the second wife was scolded for a while, and the subordinates and slaves in the main courtyard were startled. ”
"And then?" The curtain is anxious to listen to the follow-up.
"Later, Mrs. Bo called the second master and the second wife in."
Although Mrs. Bo was in a bad mood, she did not lose her mind, so she first scolded her second son severely, after all, no matter what, this matter came down to him.
She asked her son to tell her son who was eating out about what happened today, but because she was outside, she was afraid that the wall would have ears, so she only let her tell the matter itself, and did not mention the reason and process, and asked her son to come back quickly to discuss how to deal with it.
didn't expect to be so coincidental that the husband and wife met outside her hospital, and the son thought that the three maids could come out of Yu Yapo, and the daughter-in-law was soft-hearted.
In fact, this can't be blamed on the son, in fact, the son originally wanted to bring the autumn leaves and winter plums of the Yinghe Courtyard together, these two maids are also very good-looking, two more people, maybe there will be one more back then, but the daughter-in-law resolutely disagrees.
Not to mention the son, even Mrs. Bo herself feels that the second daughter-in-law is kind.
But today's incident really has nothing to do with his daughter-in-law, but with his own son......
Mrs. Bo could only scold Geng Cheng at this time and appease the Yao family.
"Who gave birth to the sinking water? Could it be Mother Tan? ”
The curtain said curiously, since she learned in the afternoon that the sinking water turned out to be the flesh and blood of the second master, she had thought about this problem.
"Girl, guess what?"
"Test me, don't you? I guess not. ”
Geng Xingshuang naturally thought about this problem, and in the afternoon, Geng Xingchen also deliberately discussed this issue with her for a long time, she and the painting curtain had the same idea, they were all inferred from the sentence that Yan's mother had asked Tan's mother, and she could see the true identity of Shen Shui from her face.
"It must have been me asking too flamboyantly, the girl could tell from my tone." Jinbao doesn't think he's very good at acting.
"Hmph, look down on your girl, think about it, well, Jinbao hasn't been in the mansion long enough, think about it, have you heard any subordinate in the house say that Mother Tan has left for a long time over the years? At least more than half a year. ”
Even if you don't see it when you're just pregnant, it takes at least half a year from the time you are pregnant to the time you recover slightly after giving birth.
Mother Tan and Mother Yan are the right-hand men of the second wife, Yao, if one of them has been away for so long, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the people in the house.
And...... Tan's mother looks honest, and the second uncle's two rooms are much better looking than Tan's mother.
The curtain thought for a while, "Sister Shenshui is seventeen this year, but she is only a virtual age, and now it is the fourteenth year of Shengning, which means that she was born in the twentieth year of Changning, and the slave maid was not born at that time, but the slave maid was still in the house at that time, and the slave maid heard her say that the uncle was still an official at that time, and the house was not as ...... as it is now is so depressed, I think that with my uncle's ability, maybe one day the title can be passed on to one or two generations, if it is like Yongqing Houfu, and earn a hereditary replacement, it is really the ancestral tomb that is smoking.
So at that time, the house was very strict, and the uncle made it clear that if anyone in the family did something out of the ordinary and affected the major events in the family, the light ones were sold, and the heavy ones were directly killed, so if the big girl in the second wife's room disappeared directly for more than half a year, not to mention that Mother Tan is still on an errand now, even if the second wife and the second master will definitely be affected. ”
Geng Xingshuang nodded and analyzed: "According to the situation in the house back then, if the biological mother of the sinking water is a maid in the house, and the second aunt is watching, she will generally give a bowl of avoidance soup afterwards, even if she is not careful, she will be directly included in the room, take a step back and say that even if the second aunt is unwilling, in order not to make trouble, the best way to do it according to the second aunt's thinking is to accept it first, and then how to make plans later, if it is a daughter-in-law, the second uncle should not dare to do it back then;
As for whether it will be the second uncle who raised the outer room, not to mention whether the second uncle had so much money in his hand back then, let's just say that if the outer room gave birth to a child, he didn't come to the house to recognize his relatives, and let his daughter be a maid, this possibility should be very small, unless the second aunt did something in it, but seeing the third sister's style today, and the second uncle's voice yelling at the second aunt, their husband and wife seem to be still in the dark, and the sinking water has something to do with Tan's mother, so I guess that Shenshui's mother should have a lot to do with Tan's mother, It is very likely that he is a descendant of the Yao family. ”
Mother Tan and Mother Yan are both the second aunt's dowry maids, and only in this way can they explain today's events.
It's just that Geng Xingbing's thoughts, so far, Geng Xingshuang still doesn't have any clue.
"The girl is amazing, but it's not the Yao family, girl, you didn't hear, when Mrs. Bo asked the second master, the second master didn't react to who was sinking into the water, and was reminded by Qiao's mother that it was the third girl's maid, and she was almost sold today, but fortunately, the third girl reminded in time, so she didn't make a big mistake.
As soon as the second master heard this, he scolded the second lady again, and called the third girl to come over, saying that they had ruined his big thing. ”
"And then?" The curtain hurriedly asked, thinking that this was more interesting than listening to the play.
Geng Xingshuang and the two pairs of eyes of the painting curtain were shining brightly even in the dim candlelight.
"Get on your knees!"
"Huh?" The curtain was startled, and almost knelt down involuntarily.
"Sister Painted Curtain, this is what Mrs. Bo said, she asked the second master to kneel." Jinbao explained.
"Jinbao, you can steal business with the storyteller in the teahouse." Geng Xingshuang teased.
Although the second master didn't understand, he still knelt down, and then Mrs. Bo asked Qiao's mother to tell the second master about what happened today, and then ...... The second master paused. ”
"Paused? What do you mean? ”
"It's just stunned, the second master seems to have been reminiscing for a long time, and he didn't think about anything related to Shenshui Niang."
Geng Xingshuang and the painting curtain were stunned for a moment, and Geng Xingshuang also paused.
"Is the second uncle's memory so bad?"
Seeing that Geng Cheng not only did not have the slightest nostalgia and apology, but even forgot that there was such a person, Tan's mother pounced on Geng Cheng when he was meditating hard with his drunken brain, grabbed Geng Cheng's hair and clothes and tugged hard, slapped his fists, and cried angrily in his mouth.
"You brute, you have harmed my sister for a lifetime, harmed her life, and now even your own daughter is going to be harmed by you, you brute, you are not worthy of being a man, let alone an official, why don't you die, ah...... Why don't you die, you brute......"
"Mother Tan's movements are too fast, Mrs. Bo, Mrs. Uncle, and Mother Qiao's Luwu have no time to stop them, and even the second master himself shouted 'You evil slave' after Mother Tan scolded those words, and then vigorously tore people apart."
