90 death knell
When Jia Huan went back, he was completely defeated. Shi Mo knew that he went to see Tanchun, and even Shanhu was his wife in charge. Jia Huan never wanted to hide it from him.It can be seen that with his appearance, Shi Mo's heart ached so much that he simply didn't ask any questions—even if he didn't ask, he could guess at least seven or eight points in his heart.
He drove him to take a hot bath, filled his stomach with a rice bowl, and then put him on the bed to feed someone, and tucked someone under the quilt. Shi Mo felt that the whole person was not well, unconsciously She put her hands on her waist, Shi Xiaomo gritted her teeth, damn, this has become a good wife and mother!
Just looking at the blackness under the man's eyes, and the insecure posture of curling up and sleeping, Shi Mo was vicious...but his heart softened...while he spat on himself, he went out and ordered someone to call coral to come and answer.
"In that restaurant on Pingyang Street?" Shi Mo understood, Huan'er chose that street, presumably to wake up Tanchun, and didn't expect her to be "abandoning the dark and turning to the bright", but just thinking about getting along with her. She conspired to find a good future for her.Not wanting to be ungrateful at all, Shi Mo frowned, if he doesn't appreciate it, he doesn't appreciate it, why bother to trample his brother's heart on the ground?
The slender fingers tapped the small table one after another, and the fragrant melon slices on the table completely cooled down, and Shi Mo's eyebrows were completely chilled.
Shan Shan and the woman who pushed the car stood on the ground, not daring to make a sound. Everyone in the Humble Garden knew that Master Mo had a good temper. Angry, but...it's not unusual to be angry, my uncle and Lord Huan are far from comparable, and a smile can make life worse than death—just like the girl named Huanyan half a year ago, who not only had the audacity to climb up to Master Mo In order to succeed, he drugged Lord Huan's soup, but Master Mo also had a smile on his face and ordered someone to send Huanyan to a restaurant in Lin County, the capital, without blinking.
——"Didn't you want to climb Gaozhier, ask the mother there to recuperate and recuperate, and send it to the Gao family if it becomes popular!"
This is worse than death!The name of the tall family in that county has spread to the capital, who is that tall family?The three generations of ancestors are hunters and butchers. The tall family is extremely rude, and the concubines live in the room. The wife of the Gao family is also a powerful person. The half-dead Mrs. Gao who is tossing around is always made alive. According to Mrs. Gao's intention, she is not willing to serve Mr. Gao, but the aunt and girl have spent money, so she should live to serve Mr. Gao!Huanyan girl is popular in the building, that is to say, she is broke and of low status, and all the aunts and girls in the house can bully her. Besides, all the girls in the building have taken medicine, Mrs. Gao must be I am willing to drive a patient who is resistant to tossing and can't give birth to the bed of a tall family...to live and suffer, but in the hands of Mrs. Gao, he can't die...
Huanyan's heart-piercing begging for mercy when being dragged away, now thinking of Shanhu and the others, my heart still trembles.
"Master?" In the end, Coral stepped forward and called out, but Shi Mo's face was really pale.
"Huh?" Shi Mo looked at her with a smile on his lips, "Since she is willing to be the lady of the Duke's Mansion, then we don't want to be this bad person either. Coral!"
"Hey." Coral responded quickly. "Go to the warehouse and gather some gold and silver jewelry to send to the third girl in the mansion. For red gold gemstones, the heavier the better, the bigger the better, and put them on the eye-catching jewelry."
Shi Mo laughed frighteningly, since he valued that status so much, he let Mrs. Jia see her value.After all, the higher you stand, the harder you cry when you fall down.
"Send it in the name of Lord Huan, and bring a few more people with you." Shan Shan took the opportunity to pick out those heavy red gold jewelry, objects inlaid with dazzling rubies, and black wood lined with red silk. The tray was sent to Rongguo Mansion, and there was no need to be too ostentatious all the way in Rongguo Mansion.
Tanchun's face was pale, and he only asked the girl to come out and say, "Thank you for me."
Shan Shan smiled, greeted the girl and woman she knew before leaving, but in her heart she disdained Tanchun's high airs.
"Boy Huan sent a lot of jewelry to Tan Yatou?" Mother Jia asked looking at the woman in the ground.
The woman had a flattering face, gestured with both hands, and kept admiring that the jewelry was precious, and how big the ruby was—what kind of knowledge can the servants of Rongguo Mansion have, but they think that the heavier the gold, the better, and the bigger the gemstone, the better. Forget it, poor Mother Jia can't let people see her granddaughter's gift, and she thinks it is such a priceless treasure after listening to her servants say so.
Satisfied, Mother Jia dismissed her mother-in-law and said with a smile to Yuanyang, "Boy Huan still cares about his elder sister." As long as he cares, the more he cares, the better. She holds Tanchun and Aunt Zhao in her hands, and Boy Huan stands on his own. so what?Still can't escape her palm.
Yuanyang thought of Li Jiahuan's cold eyes yesterday, her heart trembled, and she said with a smile: "Didn't I send it to Aunt Zhao? Sure enough, Third Master Huan values Third Miss more?"
Mother Jia smiled and nodded, Yuanyang, a girl who speaks to the point, in her heart, a girl is naturally more useful than an aunt from a lowly background - besides, her son has become estranged from her because of Wang's and Baoyu's affairs Many, she can't touch the aunt in her son's house easily, but the girl in the mansion is different, the Wang family is useless, isn't the girl's future completely in the hands of her old ancestor?
At this time, Jia Zheng in the study outside was still wondering.Earlier, Huan'er said that he had something to talk to him about, but he waited all afternoon without seeing anyone, but just now someone came to report that he was ill.Boss Jia Zheng was not happy, so he put on a tiger face and let people go down. He never thought of sending someone to visit his son, so he turned around and went to find a girl to add fragrance to the red sleeves.
——But Jia Huan originally planned to find a vacancy for Jia Zheng in exchange for Tanchun's marriage.Ever since Jia Zheng was dismissed from his official position, he has always been thinking about not being reconciled. Jia Huan made a contribution in front of the emperor by stealing a pharmacy from the ancestral hall, so he thought of asking Prince Su to ask for grace in front of the emperor, and give Jia Zheng an official title so that This sets Tanchun's future.As long as Jia Zheng is willing to take Tanchun's gengtie and combine the horoscope with someone Jia Huan is optimistic about, that is to kill first and then play.
Jia Huan had planned everything before and after, took great pains, and was busy for several months, but Tanchun's ruthless scolding and scolding in a storm dampened his mind.Shi Mo saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.No matter how much Jia Tanchun is Huan'er's biological sister, he will not deal with her, but it's still very good to beat the side drum and fan the wind!
"Remember the third girl under the second wife's name?" Yuanyang was taken aback, looked at Jia Mu's expression, and said cautiously: "But the wife's reputation?"
"It's recorded in Baoyu's mother's name, and the third girl is born! What does Wang's reputation have to do with the third girl?" Jia Mu said impatiently.
Yuanyang didn't dare to talk back, so she hurriedly went to talk to Master Zhen of the Dongfu in person, her heart was so cold, the third girl has been raised by the old lady for so many years, even a dead animal must have some feelings?But the old lady ruined the third girl's life without batting an eye--the second wife's reputation is her daughter's reputation, so why is it irrelevant? !Originally, it was better to be just the aunt, but I only said that I was raised by the old lady since I was a child, and I was not close to my aunt. In this way, I can save a bit or two of face when we kiss, but if I really become the second wife's "natural"... ...Everyone rules that a girl like this is almost as good as dipping in a pig cage!
With a pale face, Yuanyang returned the words to Jia Zhen and You Shi, but she didn't dare to let others pass the word.Jia Zhen frowned, bluntly said to think about it first.
Yuanyang waited for the third master Huan to rescue the third girl, but unexpectedly the other side was quiet, but the third girl came to thank the old lady for her kindness first.Yuanyang really didn't know whether the third girl was shrewd or stupid, after waiting for three to five days, there was still no movement in the mansion over there, and Yuanyang knew in her heart that it was the third girl's business that the other side didn't care about.
But Coral came again and sent some bright fabrics.Tanchun acted as if he had never heard of the unbearable reputation of Rongguo Mansion, he happily made new clothes, and wholeheartedly waited for the good day of becoming a concubine.
Yuanyang wanted to talk selfishly to Shan Shan, but had no chance, but Shan Shan patted her hand with a pun: "The third girl stood up, and our master felt relieved, I just ask you to take care of her." Let's go." He said it emphatically, and Yuanyang understood it, and hurriedly agreed.
Seeing Shan Shan go away, she said to herself: "I will take care of Aunt Zhao more, just hope to form a good relationship, and have a good end in the future." At the beginning, Shan Shan was just an unremarkable second-class girl in the upper room, otherwise the old lady would not have given it to Uncle Mo, who would have thought that it was Shan Shan's good fortune?Judging by the look of Shan Shan's clothes, he seems to be living a comfortable and happy life. It is said that the married man is the steward next to Master Huan, and he is responsible and capable. Now the couple has a big fat boy——Looking at themselves, I think Being around the old lady, she flatters everyone who sees her, even the little master has to call her 'sister', but she is sweet and bitter, and the old lady wants to give her to Baoyu, Baoyu has a house full of maids and wives, and there are two treasures. A shrewd person like grandma, what good will she get if she goes?
Yuanyang cheered up and waited on Jia Mu, and often spoke with the meaning of "the third master Huan doesn't value Aunt Zhao, but the third girl"-subtlely, and later saved Aunt Zhao's life, which is I won't show it for the time being.
***************
"Old lady, the second wife is starting to make noise again... And, she is still cursing the third girl... Look, this?" Jia Mu was talking to the refreshed Aunt Xue, when her confidant lady came to her ear Whispered back.
There were seventeen or eighteen creases on Mother Jia's face, she calmed down immediately, and said lightly, "Let her make trouble." If it weren't for the sudden news from the palace, she needed to keep Mrs. Wang in order to Anniang Heart, I have already cleaned up this trouble family!
"Pan'er, no news yet?" Mother Jia looked at Aunt Xue with concern.
But Aunt Xue changed her usual frown and said with a grin: "In Shaoxing Mansion, they say they have a deal to discuss over there, and they will come back in a few days, and they say they will bring in a lot of Lilly to make amends!"
Aunt Xue couldn't hide the joy on her face, she was a few years younger in a maroon dress.
Since the beginning of troubles in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother has become more and more eccentric. Maybe it's because she is getting older, and all kinds of clothes can't hide her weakness and decay, so she is more and more tired of other people's bright clothes.In particular, Aunt Xue was still talking about her edict of the seventh-rank child, which made Jia's mother feel as sick as if she had eaten a maggot.
"My concubine's life is getting more and more prosperous, but I feel sorry for Baoyu's mother, alas!" Jiamu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "She was also plotted by others. I believe in the upbringing of the Wang family the most. How could such a thing happen? I don’t know which god I offended! As soon as she entered the door, she ordered her to be his wife for decades, how could she have suffered such a crime?”
Aunt Xue stopped laughing, feeling a little uncomfortable. She saw the ugly face of Mrs. Wang that day, and felt jealous in her heart. She disliked Baochai's reputation for being unruly, and hated her again. The son tarnished the reputation of the daughter of the Wang family.But there is still a secret hatred in my heart that cannot be expressed!
She is also a girl from the Wang family, so she can marry into the Duke's mansion and become the wife of the imperial court, but I have to marry a noble daughter to a lowly family to be a merchant's wife?
Mother Jia is already acting like this, Aunt Xue has to go to visit Mrs. Wang, after all, she is always her own sister in name, isn't she?Even for Baochai's sake, she still has to visit her.
"Hey, aunt, why are you here?" Zhou Rui's family opened the courtyard door and saw Aunt Xue, and hurriedly greeted her with a smiling face.
Aunt Xue raised her head high, and glanced at Zhou Rui's family. This week, Zhou Rui's family has always come to trouble, otherwise she and her sister valued their family as companions at the beginning, why Zhou Rui's family eagerly licked the upper of her sister's shoes went?
"I'll come and see your wife, how is your wife?" Aunt Xue asked the rough woman who was sweeping the courtyard.
Aunt Xue shamed Zhou Rui's family like this, and the servants saw it and were delighted.The woman hurriedly responded with a flattering smile: "Okay, my wife is very good! It's all taken care of by Grandma Bao!"
But this flattery was patted on the horse's leg. Aunt Xue was most unwilling to put Mrs. Wang and Baochai together, for fear that others would mention that Mrs. Wang was Baochai's biological aunt, and people would criticize Baochai's character.After giving the woman a cold look, Aunt Xue went to Mrs. Wang's bedroom.
Zhou Rui's family looked at the woman and sneered: "I want to climb the treasure of the second grandma's Gao Zhier, go and make your Spring and Autumn Dream!"
"Why is it still locked?" Aunt Xue pointed to the copper lock.
Zhou Rui's family was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I was afraid that my wife would come out and hurt herself..." Hastily untied the key from his waist to open the lock.
"Hey!" Aunt Xue turned her head and quickly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and the arrogant girl who followed her also looked disgusted.
There was a foul smell in the room, so strong that even Zhou Rui's family couldn't bear it, so they hurriedly asked Aunt Xue to stay away for a while, and instructed the maid to carry the Gong bucket out, and opened the window for ventilation.
After a while, Aunt Xue covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and entered the room cautiously.
After looking at the messy house that looked like a house raid in disgust, he condescended and sat down on the grand master's chair brought by Zhou Rui's house.
During this time, Mrs. Wang has been sitting on the couch in a daze, with torn cotton cloth wrapped around her body, squinting at the sunlight coming in through the window.
After dismissing all the people, only Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang were left in the room, Aunt Xue said: "Sister, you are poking Baoyu's heart like this! I know you are not crazy, and I know you have no choice but to put on makeup." Crazy, it's just that Baoyu's child is pure filial piety, alas, knowing you are crazy and thin, my heart aches when I see you!"
Mrs. Wang looked at the sun without blinking her eyes, but she said indifferently: "You are his aunt and her mother-in-law, so naturally you should feel distressed."
Aunt Xue choked, thinking that her makeup was crazy, but she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "Sister Bao loves you, and I am also concerned about you, so I finally asked the old lady to come and see, what is going on in my sister's heart?" Let’s talk about the rules and regulations, so we can’t stay locked up in this invisible place forever?”
Mrs. Wang was provoked by these words, she kicked her legs and jumped off the bed barefooted, reached out and knocked over the teacup that Zhou Rui's family put beside Aunt Xue, and poured hot tea down Aunt Xue's sleeve.
Mrs. Wang was disheveled and said viciously: "You know I'm locked up in this shameful place, why don't you rescue me, eh? Don't you want to save me? Hmm!"
Aunt Xue was so frightened by her ferocious face that she leaned back in the grand teacher's chair, and hurriedly said: "How come! You are my own sister, how filial Bao girl is usually to you, you know, the old lady and the in-laws are very angry, Our mother begged several times before agreeing, and that's all, Bao girl is not allowed to come!"
Aunt Xue swears and swears to coax Mrs. Wang down, but Aunt Xue has a retreat, and unexpectedly gets entangled with the abnormal Mrs. Wang.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang suddenly sat on the couch and laughed, and said ghastly: "You don't dare to leave me alone! If you don't save me, the matter of Pan'er beating someone to death won't stop! Huh! If I can't get out Go to none of you and don’t think about it! I still have Niangniang! I still have Baoyu! You didn’t know me before, so my lord will not blame you, but in the future, if you still lock me in this dirty place! Hmph, I can’t hold it Stay with you, but Bao girl can't please! I am her mother-in-law no matter what, I gave Baoyu all the girls in the house, and brought my brother and sister to raise me. Let's see what your good girl will do! And The old lady is so old! She thinks that if she locks me up, no one will know the outrageous things she has done?! Hahaha..."
"Damn! When she was a nanny in the palace, she cuddled with the Supreme Emperor and thought that others didn't know about it! The old prince Yizhong, who was a big nurse, broke something, but she wanted to push the archway clean? It's not such a good thing." Son, you tell her! She poisoned so many people to death, none of the aunts and concubines remained, and the two concubines died after two years of marriage after taking the rotten pill! She even boldly poisoned the courtiers... Huh, but the old man If the sky doesn’t help her, Prince Yizhong is just a piece of mud that can’t support the wall, so he can’t get on the throne! But the worst victim, King Zhongrui County, ascended the throne and became emperor! Hahaha... Immortal, if The emperor knew about his concubine Song, and Prince Su knew about his concubine mother, and it was you, an old poisonous woman who fell into the hands of you... Hmph! You are [-] times worse than me!"
Aunt Xue was completely stunned, and Yuanyang, who was eavesdropping under the window, was also pale with fright. She looked at it several times quickly, and was sure that she and Mrs. Xue had heard the words, so she was a little relieved—as long as Mrs. Xue did not go out. Said, she still has a way out!
"Shut up!" Aunt Xue was trembling all over and screamed loudly.
Yuanyang went to look at the courtyard gate in a panic, and found that the courtyard door was closed, and the women and maids didn't come in, so they covered their mouths and took a breath.
"Shut up?" Mrs. Wang's eyes were as red as Yan Luo's life, "What am I afraid of now! Huh! I know, you didn't come here today because you thought about me and missed me, you came to show me your child Your order is here! You have been disliked since you were a child, and you have been hiding behind me all day long to peek at my things! What a child, I spit on you!" Mrs. Wang slapped Aunt Xue's face with a mouthful.
Shocked and terrified, Aunt Xue's complexion was sallow, and she could no longer maintain her composure. The sense of superiority that she had been faintly carrying since she entered the door was instantly shattered, and all the old and new hatred suppressed in her heart surged up. She stood up and scolded in a high-pitched voice: "What a good thing you are! In the past, if my brother loved me a little bit, you would be jealous. You have to be around you! Obviously, what my parents were going to tell me was the marriage of the Hanlin family, but you said that Hanlin was poor and I suffered. No, seduce my parents to marry me to Xue's family, hum! Aren't you afraid that I will be taller than you? Who doesn't know that Jia Cunzhou has been worthless all his life, relying on his old mother to eat and talk! Dozens of people stay in that Yuanwailang Don’t move for a moment! Who are you putting on that charitable face for? You have to be ruthless enough to bring your own niece in to marry a brother who was raised badly! You got caught doing that scandal yourself Why don't you want to repent and threaten me? Tsk tsk, sister, what are you saying about being framed, are you a mistress who can't bear to find an empty house? Let the old lady hang herself at the entrance of the Buddhist hall with hatred!"
Aunt Xue didn't even change her tone: "Oh, that's right! Jia Cunzhou has so many young wives, how could they like your mediocre and aging appearance? Tsk tsk, sister, that's all you have, far away Not as good as Jia Min, not even me. You fight for it, but can you grab this look? Who knew that the eldest daughter of the Wang family was mediocre in Hejing a few decades ago. You can't even compare with the one raised by my little mother! You still want to compete with Jia Min to find Hwarang, but you don't take a piss to see your face, are you worthy of Lin Ruhai! Hmph! He planned to harm Jia Min, but in the end, he You're dead, but you have a first-class official seal on your body, what are you? Hmm? You should be soaked in a pig cage!"
These two sisters don't have the style of a noble girl, they are like street shrews who pick on each other's pain, and put all the vicious words they know on each other.Not like real sisters, more hatred than world feuds.
The more Yuanyang listened, the colder her heart became. This time she knew too much about the underworld. If there was even a little rumor, the old lady would not tolerate her living.
She used to look at Aunt Xue's clumsy tongue, but today she was extraordinarily fierce. In the room, she pushed away the rushing Mrs. Wang, swung her mouth left and right, straightened her clothes, and sneered condescendingly: "No matter what, Now I am also a child of the seventh rank, and since I saw your scandal, Baoyu was so ashamed that she never mentioned you, but treated me as a mother-in-law with respect and filial piety. Oh, yes, even Tan girl She is also a prostitute who has entered the genealogy. If you say what you are planning, in the end, no one is better than the one who overwhelms you! Sigh, I don’t care about anything with you when you get to this stage, you, just stay here Come on, when you are circled to death, I will let Baoyu come and kowtow to you! Ah! 'Sister'!"
After finishing speaking, he covered his mouth and nose and pretended: "Oh, I can't stay in this dirty place for a moment, come here—ah!"
Just when Aunt Xue turned around, Mrs. Wang picked up the broken porcelain on the ground, grabbed Aunt Xue's lady's bun, and stuck the porcelain into Aunt Xue's neck...
Yuanyang tightly covered her mouth, wanted to call for help, but hesitated, and finally quietly opened the back corner door of the yard and went out.
Yuanyang plunged his head into the cold water until he couldn't bear it, so he stretched it out. He went back and forth a few times to calm himself down. He made up his mind about what to say, and went to see Mother Jia in a panic.
Hearing that Mrs. Wang had killed Aunt Xue, Mother Jia told Yuanyang to keep quiet and just go down and rest on her own, and then comforted Yuanyang, who fell into the ditch in the garden because of her panic. No blame.
Yuanyang turned her head before going out, and clearly saw the slight smile on her lips.
