Chapter 899: Turbid Wine
Early in the morning, Wu got up early to freshen up and dress up, and spent an hour combing a bride's hair, talking and laughing with the room full of people.
Zhou didn't even open the door, still hiding and not showing up, the courtyard was deserted and there was no one, the two former maids who were sent to the lady's room came over and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no sound inside, so they had to leave.
Wu smiled: "Look, I'm not happy." Tell me, what are you not happy about? Men are like that, marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is like that, what's wrong with being ugly? Is it bad to be an official wife? ”
The big guys echoed one after another, and suddenly a small guy ran outside, shouting, "Oh no, someone has been sent over there to repent of the marriage." ”
Wu was shocked, and hurriedly walked out and asked, "Who regretted the marriage?" ”
"It's just a man." The little guy stopped, "I just sent someone over, saying that I never asked our master which department he was, and it wasn't until I went back to check the list that I realized that it was the same year as his father, so how could it be reasonable for a nephew to marry an aunt?" Therefore they sent for the bride price. ”
"What?"
Wu was suddenly angry, the joy of the day was swept away, and his head was combed white. The others looked at each other, so bored, that they all left in a hula.
At this time, the Zhong family's sedan chair arrived, and the matchmaker came to invite Zhou to get on the sedan chair, and saw the lost Wu standing there in a daze, and the whole person was wilted.
She walked into the courtyard and saw that the door was closed, and knocked a few times but no one answered. The matchmaker said: "Madame, please come over, you can't not come out for the rest of your life, right?" You are also a reasonable person, don't be like this, open the door, open the door! ”
No matter how much she persuaded her, the matchmaker had no choice but to find a few people, pried the door open, and when she went in, she was all frightened, pitiful for a blessed woman. Hung on the beam, I don't know when I hanged.
Someone died, Mrs. Yuan panicked, and discussed with the matchmaker: "I sent her out, but the master came back just to lose his temper; Now that he has killed people, that is a big temper, how can this be good? ”
The matchmaker said: "Let's just say that I am sick and dead, can I still open the coffin for an autopsy?" ”
Mrs. Yuan said: "Everyone else in the family is easy to say, and they are willing to hide it for me, only the goblin surnamed Wu." Where can I keep her mouth shut? ”
The matchmaker thought for a while and said, "I have a way to do both, one wants to get married, but people refuse to marry; The other man wants to marry, and this woman is dead and has no marriage, so let's tell a lie, and say to the Wu family that the people have checked again, and it turns out that the mistake is not the same year, so we still want to marry. She naturally got into a sedan chair and carried it directly to Zhong's house.
I think the Zhong family hired an ugly one, and now that a beautiful one has come, will it be returned? It's the Wu family who cursed us a few times in his stomach at most. Everyone has passed the door, is it better to run back and say that it is reasonable? Wouldn't it be two-poop? ”
"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan!" Mrs. Yuan was overjoyed and immediately urged the matchmaker to lie.
As soon as Wu heard about it, he was able to marry again. Joy was in a mess, where was there any suspicion, just to see that Zhou was dead. I thought that the Yuan family was unlucky, and I couldn't wait to listen to everyone's congratulations, so I went to the upper room in three steps and two steps, bowed to Mrs. Yuan, and then didn't look back, got on the sedan chair and left.
even carried it to the Zhong family, because it was the third time to marry a daughter-in-law, the Zhong family no longer put on lights, it was too embarrassing, and they walked through the back door.
There was no one in the new house, only Zhong Jing and a few maids, and when they saw the groom, Wu was not a fool, and he understood that he had fallen for the tricks of his wife and matchmaker without thinking about it.
The regretful Wu family was a little clever, but just saw the dead man, quickly calmed down, and thought that he had no choice but to settle down, first resort to means to surrender Zhong Buquan, and then calculate how to get out.
With such a plan, she didn't show a trace of annoyance, as if she was fine.
The bride was not in a hurry, but scared the groom out of her mind, and said in a lost voice: "I don't believe that a woman's family will change, why is it that it has only been one night, and it looks so good?" Oh, I really don't know what sins I did in my previous life, and I sent these good-looking but ruthless women to torture me. ”
Poor Zhong Jingwei was really frightened by the beauty, and sighed again and again, Wu asked calmly: "Isn't your family surname?" ”
Zhong Jing sighed: "Exactly. ”
Wu said: "May I ask what kind of enmity does the matchmaker have with his son, and he is at the mercy of you with such a poisonous hand?" ”
Zhong Jing, who was inexplicable, said: "Where is there any grievance? She is just worried about me for a few taels of silver, and it is a good thing to be a relative for others, and it is not called manipulating me. ”
Wu sneered: "Your family's big disaster has arrived, and you still say that it is not at the mercy?" ”
Zhong Jing was taken aback and said, "What disaster?" ”
Wu said: "The one you hired yesterday, do you know what her surname is?" ”
Zhong Jing frowned and said, "The surname is Zhou, why don't I know?" ”
Wu said: "Wrong, my surname is Wu, and the other surname is Zhou." You know that she was forced to die by you, and begged me to beg for her life. ”
Zhong Jing exclaimed, "What the hell is going on? How could I have driven someone to death? ”
Wu explained: "Both of us are the favorite concubines of Master Yuan, just because the lady is jealous, while he is not there to drive us out, you and a person to hire yesterday, both said that they will marry tomorrow, the slave family and Sister Zhou agreed to keep the festival for the master, but as soon as the sedan chair arrives, both will seek death."
I don't want Sister Zhou to be too anxious, so I can't wait for today, so I hanged myself last night. I don't know which one leaked the news, I ran to sue the people, and the people hurriedly called people to come to the house to repent of the marriage, and when the sedan chair of your house arrived, Mrs. forced me to replace Sister Zhou, I refused to hang myself, the matchmaker said that since you are going to die, it is useless to die at home, the Zhong family is rich, it is better to marry and die in his house, and it is good to talk when the master comes back, is it not possible to die in vain with two lives?
Young Master Zhong, I am here, and I don't want to slander you, one is to keep the festival for my husband, and the other is to sue you, I can't let Sister Zhou die in vain; The third is to ask you for a high-quality coffin, so that you don't have to die in the Yuan family with only a few thin plates, and the slave family is grateful. ”
After speaking, Wu looked like a chaste martyr, untied his belt, and tied it around his neck.
Zhong Jing was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled, and he hurriedly ran over and hugged her, shouting, "Everyone come and help!" ”
Frightened, the maids rushed forward one after another, pulling and pulling, persuading and persuading, but Wu just didn't let go.
Zhong Jingqing knelt down anxiously and begged: "Sister Wu, Grandma Wu, I have no grievances with you in the past life, no enmity in this life, you can't die." By the way, I don't dare to wronged you, so I'll send you back, and I don't dare to ask for financial gifts, I just ask you to wait for Master Yuan to come back and explain it clearly for me, this matter really has nothing to do with me! ”
Wu said coldly: "If you send me back, Mrs. will not tolerate me, I still have to sell it, and I will die." It's better to go to three than to sit in one, I'll die here for a hundred. ”
"Don't." Zhong Jing couldn't cry or laugh a little, to say that the Zhong family could be afraid of the Yuan family's frame-up? It's nothing more than one thing is better than one less, "Don't die, don't die, we can discuss it." ”
Wu deliberately hesitated for a while, and said: "Then wait for my master to come back, please pack up a room and borrow me to live temporarily, and as soon as he comes home, you will send me over." At that time, I will say that Sister Zhou was forced to death by the eldest mother, and she didn't do anything to you, only because she misheard the matchmaker's words, so she came to ask for a job, and in order to protect me, she hid me at home, and we were innocent between the two of us. ”
Zhong Jing hurriedly said: "Make, make, but I'm afraid that Master Yuan won't believe you, I'm nothing, I'm afraid that you will be sold cheaply." ”
Wu said confidently: "He has always loved me the most, and I am telling the truth, and I am not afraid to confront my aunt." If he doesn't believe it, it's just a matter of death. ”
"Okay." Zhong Jing got up, "There is no need to clean up the house, it just so happens that there are two cultivation women in my family, you can go and be a companion, and send Grandma Wu to the study quickly." ”
Sending the people away, Zhong Jing wiped the sweat on his head and sighed: "What is this called!" Could it be that I have been lonely all my life? ”
Soon the news reached the Xu family, and everyone was surprised by Zhong Jing's bad luck, such a thing could happen, and the three beauties went home empty, but they could only watch and not move.
Ripples was very curious about this, and privately clamored to invite the three daughters to come to the house as guests, so as to see what kind of people they were.
Outside the gate of the mansion, Shen Qing'er's mother and daughter came to ask for peace for the third time, and the group of masters who wanted to manage the door in the third room were already very arrogant on weekdays, and now they received the edict of the seventh grandmother, and they bulged their stomachs more and more, staring at their eyes, which were a few points more fierce than the two generals on the door painting.
Shen Qing'er touched the nail again, and saw that she couldn't enter the door here, let alone go to the main gate or go to Muwang's Mansion, so she sighed and left in high spirits.
Since he couldn't see Xu Hu, Shen Qing'er, who was deeply disappointed, found someone he knew in order to make money, and helped rent a small painting boat in Qinhuai River, and played the name of "Gusu Qing'er".
One of the guests who had heard Shen Qing'er's drama asked: "You were originally a singer, Jinling heavy opera, this is a very decent career, you want to be clean, say goodbye to the minister who likes to listen to the opera or a noble person like King Ning, who dares to embarrass you?" Why did you change careers? ”
Shen Qing'er smiled and said, "At this time and that time, how can I sing alone?" It's not an unsightly thing to be a famous prostitute in Qinhuai again, I have the favor of Xu Qiye of the British Mansion, and I don't need to sleep with anyone for a while. ”
The guest said, "According to what you say, why don't you become a concubine or keep it in the outer room?" ”
Shen Qing'er said: "Men have a good face, I am famous, he will cherish it!" Xu Qiye has already become a relative, why don't I make more money by myself, the future of the province Lao Zhuhuang was abandoned. ”
"That's what I mean." The guest sighed.
Other guests said: "Xu Qiye is just like this, don't you know?" His wife was born in Lehu. ”
After the guests left, Shen Qing'er returned to the room, and someone sat on a chair and smiled, "How is it?" Xu Laoqi's wife is from Lehu, right, is it credible to the old man today? ”
This person is a familiar acquaintance of helping, but Du Zichang, a famous and famous man in Jinling, who calls himself an old man, is actually less than thirty years old.
Shen Qing'er scolded with a smile: "How do I know it's true? I'm still blind. ”
Du Zichang said: "Since you know that you blame me, you still don't make amends with me? ”
Shen Qing'er said: "Don't think about entering my flowers, a glass of turbid wine will make you happy." (To be continued......)
