Chapter 24 Chicken Flying Dog Jumping, Silverpin Falling into the Well
Su Ke, the eldest princess's second son, was the fifth grade of the household department at that time. His wife, Li Shi, is the second lady in Jixiang's mouth. It is really a story to talk about this Li Shi.
In those years, when the old prince fought in Shuozhou, he was careless and was ambushed by the Beiyuan people. When he hurriedly broke through the siege, he strayed into a dense forest and wandered in it. After wandering for two days, he could not find a way out. He happened to meet a hunter, a local villager. When asked the old country prince was a general who went on an expedition to Beiyuan, he led The old prince and his entourage returned to the village, killing chickens and slaughtering sheep for warm hospitality, and looking for herbs to treat the injured soldiers. Later, it was the hunter who led the way and led the old prince to join the army.
The old prince deeply felt the kindness of the hunter and thanked him with gold and silver, but the hunter refused to accept it. Therefore, the old prince told the hunter his name and left a short dagger as a token, promising that if the hunter encountered difficulties, he could come to Jinyang Weigong Mansion at any time.
As the years passed, more than ten years seemed to be flickering. The hunter died of illness, and his son also died unexpectedly, leaving only his widow and young daughter.
Before the hunter died, he told his son's family about his chance encounter with a nobleman in the forest, and the short dagger was given to his descendants as an heirloom. Later, the hunter's son died, and his wife could not stand the hardships of hardships, and no other relatives defected to him. Thinking of what his father-in-law said at the beginning, he took his daughter to Jinyang. Looking for noble people to rely on.
When the old prince heard that the hunter had passed away, and his only son had suffered misfortune, he was very sad. Seeing that the widow and weak daughter were lonely, he took them in and lived in the Duke's mansion.
I didn't expect that the widow's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw such wealth as the Duke of Wei's mansion, thinking that it was not a long-term solution after all. Even if the old prince and the eldest princess value kindness and will not neglect their mother and daughter, but in the end, she is a guest and she is always unsteady. Only when she becomes the well-known owner of this family can she be able to die. She dictated and enjoyed glory, so the widow said nonsense, claiming that before her father-in-law died, the old father-in-law had personally vowed that he would let her son marry her daughter. The dagger is the token of the engagement!
Li, the granddaughter of the hunter, was 14th in that year. Although she had never been married, according to Dalong customs, she had also reached the age of marriage.
The widow was greedy and wanted to marry her daughter to the son of the Duke of Wei, but the son had already married the legitimate daughter of Jianning Houfu, or the empress dowager gave her the marriage. Even if the old prince did not forget the kindness of the hunter, she would never allow it. Therefore, the old prince had no choice but to discuss with the eldest princess and let the second son Su Ke marry the Li family.
He was originally a helpless civilian. If she changed others, she would not be blackmailed, but the eldest princess and the old prince were quite chivalrous. Thinking of the deceased hunters, they were very unbearable. At that time, Li was still young, gentle and weak, and beautiful. The eldest princess felt sorry for her loneliness, so she did not consider anything to come out. I agreed to this marriage.
I thought that the Li family was still gentle. In the future, as long as they respect each other and Su Ke, they may not be affectionate for a long time. Unexpectedly, they never thought that the widow was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Since the marriage, they have provoked the Li family to gradually domineering, pointing out their subordinates, scolding them lightly, and beating them more severely. Su Ke is just with the eldest princess. The maid Bian said a few more words, and Lee turned his head to his mother-in-law to sell the maid's feet.
The eldest princess couldn't stand it anymore, so she set up a house outside and forced the widow to move to live alone.
I don't want Li to hold a grudge because of this, and become more and more unruly and capricious, making the second wife restless.
Going on like this, Su Ke really "respects each other like ice" and has been married for several years. When Li gave birth to two daughters, Er Niang and Si Niang successively, Su Ke used the "child heir" as an excuse to beg his mother to be the master and accepted the side room eyebrow aunt.
Aunt Mei was originally the daughter of Mr. Su Ke. Although she did not have the status of a famous family, she was also innocent. In addition, she was a childhood sweetheart with Su Ke. With such a noble concubine, Li felt even more like a stinging throat. Seeing her husband take care of Aunt Mei, the vinegar altar in her stomach was broken all over the ground. Several times, Su Ke She is even more bored.
When the widow saw that her daughter's position was threatened, she bought a beautiful maid from nowhere, advised Li to be "virtuous" and "understandable" and took the initiative to let the maid become Aunt Chen, so as to win the favor with Aunt Mei.
But after nearly ten years, neither Aunt Mei nor Aunt Chen has been pregnant.
Li was also worried that Su Ke gave her a letter of resignation on the pretext of "childlessness" and restrained her. However, Su Ke's dislike for her was deeply rooted, and the couple continued to "respect each other as ice".
Many servants also looked down on the second lady in private. Fortunately, the Duke's wife was strict and warned and suppressed, and the servants also maintained respect for the Li family.
It is said that there is really no interest entanglement between the second wife and the aunt of the eldest wife. There will be no conflict between Li and Aunt Zhang, but the two are like a vicious dog and a wild cat, as long as they meet, with teeth and bright claws.
Aunt Zhang thought she was born with Billy's beauty, although because of her father and ancestors, she wore the hat of an official maidservant on her head, which could not compare with those noble daughters. But when she was a child, she also grew up coquettishly. In addition, her master was kind to her and never regarded her as a maidservant. She also taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not to mention her talent, she was better than the big, crude and virtuous hunter's daughter, right?
Obviously, they all made a living under the protection of the Duke's Mansion. How can the Li family become a decent wife? He deliberately got the position of his aunt and was disgusted by the eldest princess and ridiculed by all the cynicism of the slaves?
Aunt Zhang was very jealous of Li and despised her from the bone.
However, the two were pregnant together. Aunt Zhang gave birth to a son, but Li only gave birth to a daughter.
Aunt Zhang has become more impripetent for herself. Since then, she has become more and more powerful in front of the Li family.
Is Li's family an tolerant person? At that time, she was provoked by the widow Li and only thought that she should have been the wife of the world, so even Wan Niang, the eldest sister-in-law from a famous family, dared not pay attention to it, let alone an aunt who climbed the bed relying on medicine?
They don't look down on each other and don't need others to provoke them at all. They spontaneously become sworn enemies.
Therefore, the dispute between the second lady and Aunt Zhang often occurs, which is not a rare thing.
After listening to the maid's auspicious words, the second mother suddenly attacked her heart angrily. She slapped a white jade beauty plum bottle on the beautiful scene to the ground, fell to pieces, and opened her mouth and scolded, "On the contrary, a cheap concubine dares to quarrel with my mother. I want to go and see how crazy she can be!"
automatically ignored the auspicious original words - it was the second lady who went to Aunt Zhang's yard and made a lot of trouble.
Several women watched the second lady roll her sleeves and walk out with an uneasy auspicious wind, looking at each other for a moment.
"Let's go and have a look. Eight sisters live together with Aunt Zhang and may be implicated." The scenery said.
Ichen was also very worried: "My mother just went out and didn't want them to quarrel. The second sister's nature was like that. If no one persuaded her, she would make the matter more and bigger, making her grandmother angry."
Sanniang was eager to go to the theater. Naturally, she was in favor of leaving immediately. Only Liu Niang secretly think that the second aunt and Aunt Zhang were like two pieces of charcoal. In anger, they didn't know what dirty they would say. They didn't have to dirty their ears, so they got up and said, "It's good for my sisters to persuade them. I'm small, I can't speak, and it's useless to go. "
So the four women went out of the Green Qingyuan together, but they parted ways.
Even though the three people were ready, when they arrived at Jin Guiyuan, they were still stunned by the scene in front of them.
The yard was full of broken porcelain gravel, emitting broken awns in the sun. The flowers and plants were uprooted and lying in the plaster all over the ground. Several maids beat each other, the hairpin rings were scattered and the hairs were scattered. The half of the sleeves on the ground were stepped on so that they could not see their own color. Bravely the second mother and her The mother threw Aunt Zhang to the ground, one pulled her hair and slapped her. Si Niang was also embarrassed. There was a sole printed on her skirt. She wanted to dissuade her mother and sister, but she was pushed far away by her second mother and fell into the already a flower garden full of flowers. She couldn't get up for a long time.
Dust in mid-air, the shouts and curses of "bunt", "little hoof" and "dead prostitute" are endless, mixed with Aunt Zhang's sad screams - "Killing!" The shameless dilapid and naughty man is going to kill!"
How could this scene be shocked by the delicate little women?
Yijing immediately made a decision and ordered Chunmu: "My mother is not here at present. Go and tell Mother Yang and ask her to call a few strong women to come!" He said to Xia Yun and Yuzhi's big maids, "Stop those maids first and let them stop first." Because she glanced at everyone in a hurry, but didn't see Ba Niang, she first helped Si Niang up. Before she could ask what was going on, she saw Ba Niang's wet nurse rushing out of the porch with a broom held high and hit her arm on Li's back!
"You bitch with thousands of knives!" Li received a blow, jumped up and hit the waist of Ba Niang's wet nurse like a female wolf. The two fell down on the steps and rolled around.
A group of untied maids who stopped their hands under the drinking of Xia Yun and Yuzhi saw that Li was suffering. They rushed up again, pulling their hair and scratching their faces. Someone blushed their eyes, picked up the long-handled broom thrown by the wet nurse on the ground, and hit them down.
"Why don't you stop? What does this look like!" Seeing that Jin Guiyuan's maid wanted to join the melee again, he finally came to his senses and shouted.
but it was of no use. The maids were quickly entangled and scolded.
Li's simply raised his foot and kicked Aunt Zhang——
"You are a bitch who relies on the bed to invite pets, and the maids around you are also a bitch. Why don't you learn from you to drug your uncle? It's nothing to hook up with my man halfway, and you don't pee..."
Because of the help of the wet nurse's sweep, Aunt Zhang, who finally got up from the ground, was tearing her second mother and kicked in the middle of the quilt. She only felt that the blood in her chest surged and temporarily lost her strength to return her hand, but she puffed up a mouthful of phlegm and spit on Li's body: "I pooh! Who doesn't know what it would be like to marry the second master shamelessly, become a wife, and give birth to two accompanying money! It's not something that is unnoy!"
Mr. Leight screamed, waved his paws and rushed over again...
Seeing that the noise was really outrageous, Si Niang pushed away the scenery, picked up the gravel on the ground and put it against her neck, and shouted coldly: " Stop!"
"Fourth sister!" Fourth sister!" Yi Chen and Ying shouted at the same time: "Don't do anything stupid!"
The second mother was also stunned, wiped the dust on her face, and was rarely at a loss.
Only Sanniang sneered and still stood far away at the corner of the courtyard door.
"Mother, give your daughter some face." Si Niang's eyes turned red and looked sadly at her mother with a grimace and grimace.
"You elbow out..." Although Li was shocked by her daughter and did not rush to Aunt Zhang again, the anger on her face did not weaken. Only half of her words were stopped by Yijing: "Second aunt, you put out your anger. What are the grievances in your heart, and your mother and grandmother are in charge for you? First, persuade the fourth sister to let She lost what she had in her hand. Don't hurt yourself.
Unknownno, Aunt Zhang was not convinced and shouted at the scene in a shrill voice: "Wuniang can't talk like this, but it has become her grievance. Today, she can't help but hit my yard and smash it and wants to kill people! It's simply a robber. Wu Niang, you have to have a good conscience. Don't help outsiders bully your family!"
Yijing was also out of her mind and said coldly, "My aunt said less. Today, if there is such a big noise, my mother and grandmother will inevitably be shocked. Which one is different from the two elders? If you want to talk about your own family, the second aunt is the second wife of the Duke of the country and the mother of the second sister and the fourth sister. Where is here? "Outsiders?"
Seeing that the chaos finally stopped, Ye Chen sighed softly and advised Si Niang: "Fourth sister, I know you are not such a confused person, but you are also forced to panic. Now that the second aunt has also calmed down her anger, you have lost this thing. How can you be good if you accidentally hurt yourself? Think about your grandmother, she used to love you the most..."
Today, when Si Niang heard that her mother was coming to make trouble, she rushed to dissuade her, but she still didn't have time. Seeing so many sisters present, her mother scolded Aunt Zhang regardless of her identity. Those picky words were really shameless. Only then came up with a way to force her mother to death. Stop, but she has been open and sparse since she was a child, and naturally she will not really seek death. At this time, she followed Yichen's advice and threw the gravel on the ground.
Yi Jing was relieved and saw Ba Niang coming out of the room with sobbing. A small face and tremblingly came to Aunt Zhang. Seeing the scenery, she seemed to stop talking, but finally did not say a word, but bit her lips tightly.
Aunt Zhang is used to being domineering. She has never suffered such a big loss today, but she dares not make too much in front of your direct wife. After all, she still has an evil fire in her heart and does not dare to attack the scenery and Yichen. At this time, she saw Ba Niang, as if she saw the outlet of anger. He slapped him fiercely: "You useless money-friendly! I gave birth to you and raised you. Seeing the outsiders bully the door in groups, you only know how to be a turtle and watch your mother almost killed. What are you doing now?"
Ba Niang only felt black in front of her, and her mouth was full of fishy and sweet. Her body fell to the ground as soon as her body was soft. Although her face was hot, she could not feel pain, but her chest was like a few thousand gold carbon, which crushed her internal organs into blood foam.
Yijing exclaimed and hurried to help Ba Niang. Yichen couldn't help getting angry and scolded angrily: "Auntie is so bold that she dares to say that the lady of the Duke's mansion is accompanied by money. In your eyes, can we all accompany the money? I would like to ask my aunt what kind of identity you are. How dare you fight against Ba Niang. Although you are the biological mother of Ba Niang, even your mother has never attacked her over the years. How can it be your turn to beat and scold her!"
Aunt Zhang only wanted to vent her anger, but also expected that Ba Niang did not dare to refute, but she never think that the direct daughter Yichen would fight for Ba Niang, a common daughter. Although she was domineering in front of the servants and dared to shout with the humble Li family and bulli Jing Nian before she dared to say a few words, she did not have the courage to talk to the eldest daughter of the Duke of the State, but in her heart The hatred did not subsided, and he couldn't admit his mistake, so he had to keep silent and bite his lips tightly.
Seeing that Ba Niang couldn't even cry, she couldn't even cry. She only leaned in her arms and gasped violently. Her heart was hateful and painful. She also stared at Aunt Zhang and said, "The eldest sister doesn't need to talk nonsense with such people. She only returns this matter to her mother and grandmother, and naturally she will be in charge of Ba Niang!"
Suddenly, another maid cried sharply and stumbled from behind to the yard--
"Someone died! People drowned in the well in the backyard--
This sound is like a silver Thunderbolt under the clear sky, which will completely end the hustle and bustle.
Li and Er Niang looked at each other and turned pale in an instant. Si Niang shook her body and leaned softly on Yichen. A yard maidservant seemed to have become a stone carving, staring at each other, followed by another howl of Ba Niang's wet nurse-
"Poor silverpin was forced to die by life!" I stumbled into the backyard.
Yi Jing was stunned and looked at the nurse's back thoughtfully.
But I suddenly felt a pain in my arm.
Looking down, I saw that Ba Niang's pale little face was faintly gray. She pinched her arms with both hands, trembled, crying in the depths of her red eyes, and despair and fear overflowed.
Bingjing couldn't help frowning and subconsciously looked at Aunt Zhang, but saw that the anger on her face also swept away, and she blankly watched the back of the Eight Lady's wet nurse disappear into the moon door in the corner of the corridor.
Something is strange!
This is the first feeling of the scenery. She has no impression of the name Yinhai, and there is no such maid who fell into a well and died in her memory. Then... This is another thing that deviates from her previous life!
If this disturbance also happened in the previous life, even if you are young and ignorant, but after all, you will not be completely unimpressed. So, is the death of silver handi due to his rebirth?
No, it's impossible.
Even if Jin Guiyuan dissuade her from worrying about Ba Niang in this life, it will not lead to the death of a maid. There is no causal relationship between the two things.
But where did the deviation cause this disturbance?
I glanced at the dull maids again...
The second aunt came to the door and took action against Aunt Zhang. Of course, Jin Guiyuan's maids would come out to help, but why did Ba Niang's wet nurse join the broom halfway? What was she doing before? Why did the little maid say that she had drowned, but the wet nurse immediately called out the name of the silver cup?
Is she so sure that the person in the well is silver?
And Ba Niang...
The earlier desire to speak stopped, and the panic and fear at this time was just because of fear?
Thinking of this, Yijing almost wanted to ask immediately.
But seeing Ba Niang's panicked appearance, she still resisted and only said to Yichen, "Big sister, there is a human life that can't be hidden from her grandmother. Eight Sister is scared, and it's a mess here. I'll take her back to Lvqingyuan first. There is a Lao elder sister on my grandmother's side to report it." He said to Si Niang, "The fourth sister will stay here first, watch the maids, don't let them walk around, and wait until Mother Yang comes."
Yichen and Si Niang woke up like a dream and acted separately.
Yi Jing didn't want to pay attention to Li and Er Niang, so she asked Xia Yun to come and help Ba Niang to go to Lvqing Garden.
Sanniang always stood on the edge of the courtyard door. At this time, she saw that Yijing was calm and even gave orders. Her eyes flashed and she reluctantly curled the corners of her mouth.
