Chapter 862: The Bracelet
The girls in the family are celebrating the Qiqiao Festival, and Xu Hao accompanies them to mess around when he has nothing to do, and invites the troupe to sing.
Today, Wang Xuanqing came back from watching a play in Qianshoutang, and as soon as he entered the inner door, he saw two daughters-in-law shouting and bickering there, one daughter-in-law was serving in Wu Yechun Courtyard, and the other was Xu Wen's wife in front of him.
Because Zhong Kegu's maid Yulan had eaten, she came back to take a nap without washing her hands, and when she walked to Fengting, she saw a mother-in-law scooping hot water and said, "I want water to wash my face." ”
It happened that Wu Yechun's former maid Luohong came over, and the second daughter had a grudge before, that is, the past of pouring hot water, and now Luohong married the little maid Wu Xing'er and became a daughter-in-law, and Yulan has not yet married, so she said: "Hurry up and fetch water for the girl." ”
The mother-in-law was embarrassed and said: "This is what the Linghong girl in the wife's room wants, and she is in a hurry!" Miss Lan wants water, and I'll send it back and scoop it for you. ”
Luo Hong said: "You wash Miss Lan first, and then change the water and give it to Linghong, what are you talking about." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Yulan smiled, waited for the mother-in-law to pour water into the basin, took off the gold bracelet on her hand, soaked the silk scarf and wiped her face, washed her hands, and hurried back to the room.
Luo Hong pouted at Yulan, handed the basin to her mother-in-law, and asked her to change the water and send it to the wife's room. The mother-in-law went, Luo Hong saw that there was no one around, squatted down and picked up the bracelet of Magnolia, wrapped it in her own handkerchief, turned to the side of the Dicui Pavilion in the distance, bypassed the Taihu Lake Stone, and hid the bracelet in the crack of the stone.
Be prepared to pick it up at night when no one is around. Who knew that Xu Wen's daughter-in-law secretly played with Xu Wen, and someone happened to come, so she hurriedly ran in naked, hid in the rockery and got dressed, and then sat in the pavilion and patted her chest, secretly screaming that it was dangerous.
The pavilion was surrounded by windows on all sides, and she sat and looked out from the glass window, only to see Luo Hong coming hurriedly. was about to ask her to speak, but he noticed that she was sneaky, walked to the back of the Taihu Lake Stone, squatted down, and looked around, as if she was hiding something there, and turned away.
Qingyan's daughter-in-law waited for her to go far away, got off the pavilion and walked to the back of the Taihu Lake stone to observe carefully, and suddenly found that there was a little red under the stone. It was very heavy inside, and when I opened it, I saw that it was a pair of gold bracelets.
"I don't know who she stole from? At this time, everyone has this thing in their hands, and it is impossible to enter the room and steal it, how did you get it? ”
Qingyan's daughter-in-law muttered to herself, so she hid the bracelet on her body, because she had Xu Wen as a backer, and she was a little arrogant, so she actually held a handkerchief in her hand. Went somewhere else to chat.
Unexpectedly, Luo Hong was nearby, and when she saw her red handkerchief at a glance, she was suddenly frightened, and she became more and more puzzled when she looked closely. Hurriedly ran to the Taihu Lake Stone in Dicui Pavilion to search for a long time, and the thing was long gone.
She turned around and came back to look for Qingyan's daughter-in-law, saw her sitting there eating tea, and pulled her to a place where no one was. Asked, "Where did you find this handkerchief?" ”
Qingyan's daughter-in-law said: "This is my own, how did I pick it up?" ”
Luo Hong said: "I know your handkerchief is green, and this red is my own thing." I recognize. ”
Qingyan's daughter-in-law smiled: "Can't there be two handkerchiefs?" If there is green, there must not be red? Why my thing, you come to pretend, this is so strange. ”
"I saw that your hands were still green this morning, why are they red now?" Luo Hong was a little angry, "If you don't recognize it, I'll search you." ”
Qingyan's daughter-in-law smiled: "What if you can't find it?" ”
"If you can't find it, I'll give you another handkerchief." Luo Hong couldn't help but say that she wanted to lift the other party's clothes, but Qingyan's daughter-in-law was afraid that she would find the bracelet, so she pushed and said: "My own things, you come to impersonate, I don't search you, you come to search me?" You didn't hold my dirty. ”
However, the strength was not rough enough to make the girl's background Luo Hongda, pinched the bracelet, and shouted: "Now that it's dirty, do you dare to argue?" ”
Qingyan's daughter-in-law took a sip of her and shouted, "Where are your things?" Did you see me take it? I'll reason with you at the top, who is the thief, the bastard who doesn't know the affairs of the world. ”
"You little woman, you steal my things, and you dare to deny it." Luo Hong really couldn't figure out the weight, so she snatched the red handkerchief and stuffed it on her body regardless of it, and wanted to grab the bracelet again. Qingyan's daughter-in-law was enraged, grabbed her hand hard, and scolded: "What a bold prostitute, I will go to see grandma with you." ”
Just shouted, Wang Xuanqing's eldest maid came over and asked, "Why are you arguing?" The second grandmother told you to go in. ”
The two daughters-in-law had to follow in, Zhong Kegu and Wu Yechun were both in Wang Xuanqing's house, and Qingyan's daughter-in-law said first: "This Xing's daughter-in-law stole a pair of gold bracelets out of nowhere, wrapped them in a handkerchief and hid them in the Taihu Lake stone, I saw it in Dicui Pavilion." When she was gone, I took it out, and was looking at what had been brought to me, when she saw me, and insisted that I had stolen her handkerchief, and that she wanted to search me. I didn't search her, so I started to make a fuss. ”
Wu Yechun's face immediately became ugly when she heard this, and she stared at Luohong who lowered her head fiercely, she knew too well that Luohong had always had a habit of petty theft, so it was naturally difficult to stand up for her, and she didn't even end up embarrassed.
Zhong Kegu was speechless, Wang Xuanqing frowned and took the pair of gold bracelets, and asked in a light tone, "Who is this bracelet?" ”
Luo Hong knelt down and said unhurriedly: "This bracelet is obviously stolen by Qingyan's daughter-in-law's Yulan girl, Yulan girl took off the bracelet and washed her hands, and forgot about it after the incident." She took the bracelet and wrapped it, and I met her later and asked where the handkerchief came from. snatched it to search her, but she was afraid of searching, so she alarmed the grandmothers with her screams. At this time, she was the first to sue the wicked. ”
After speaking, he sent the handkerchief, Wang Xuanqing instructed Wang Xuanhong to call Yulan, and asked, "She said that she saw you in the Dicui Pavilion, so where did you see her?" ”
Yulan was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "I was relieved of my hand behind the nearby Taihu Lake Stone and saw her steal it." ”
Qingyan's daughter-in-law sneered: "I saw her coming over to Fengting in Dicui Pavilion, but I didn't go to Fengting. ”
At this time, Yulan came, and she was looking around for questions because she was missing the bracelet.
Zhong Kegu glanced at Zhong Kegu, who was pale, and asked, "Why is your bracelet missing?" ”
Yulan said: "I came back from outside, and I passed by Fengting and saw my mother-in-law carrying hot water, because she said that she wanted to wash her hands. Luohong's sister-in-law helped me ask my mother-in-law to pour water, and when I took off the bracelet and put it on the stone, I forgot to bring it. I remember it was just the three of us there, and they should have known who took it. ”
Wang Xuanqing asked, "This handkerchief is yours?" ”
"Not mine." Magnolia shook her head.
Wang Xuanhong, who had been watching it for a long time, suddenly smiled and said: "This handkerchief is red." ”
"Alright." Wang Xuanqing was used to dealing with this kind of thing, and immediately passed Shu Erniang to come, saying: "Luohong stole Yulan's bracelet, and Lai Qingyan's daughter-in-law stole it, shouting and shouting, it's really lawless." You took her out, and struck twenty boards outside the gate of the garden, and drove her out. ”
Yulan didn't expect that it was stolen by Luo Hong, in vain since she thought about her before, regardless of her past suspicions, she opened her eyes wide and saw Luo Hong kowtowing to the grandmothers in tears, and she didn't dare to tell the difference, she lowered her head and hurriedly followed Shu Erniang away, and couldn't help sighing.
Wu Yechun lost face, said a few words and left, so angry that he couldn't eat for several days. It was also her relatives who suffered Xu Hai in Songjiang Mansion, and even took her with her, and Xu Hai was not treated well, and her status at home has plummeted recently.
Yanquezhuang, Hua Fengxian's family and Gu Ergou's family live next to each other, the two families are only separated by a willow fence, jumping fences back and forth, no need to go out of the door, and it has always been as good as a family.
Danzi moved to the house, and Wang Xuanhong lived in the inner house, but the relationship with the Hua family became closer and closer. However, the sister-in-law Gu, who has always been close, is no longer willing to marry Hua Fengxian, a wild girl from the mountain village, because her son is studying, even if she is bound to her feet, who makes the Xu family's atmosphere look down on the daughter of bound feet.
In the final analysis, Gu Ergou has a tendency to become a master, and even if the Hua family is very open in the Xu family, in the final analysis, it is still dependent on people.
In the early years, when Gu Ergou's father was alive, the Gu family was rich, and the Hua family had no money, but now the Hua family is rich, and the Gu family has no money.
Because of the dislike of the flower phoenix, the relationship between the two families became cold. Now that the two families go out to meet, Gu Ergou always looks up, and Daddy Hua lowers his head and has to make way for him, and the identity of a scholar is deeply ingrained in the hearts of Liaodong people.
In short, the upside down of the two families in Huagu for decades is undoubtedly a microcosm of many ordinary people's homes.
In fact, in the past two years, the three members of the Hua family have been like a kite straight to the clouds in Yanquezhuang, and like a smooth sailing boat, because they helped Xu Hao cultivate crops, they have always received a lot of rewards, and they have become rich in the Zhuangzi.
Daddy Hua saw the prospect of sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes and peanuts, and rented a large piece of land to Xu Hao, not only planting new crops, but also raising a lot of pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks at home.
There is living money coming in every day, although it is not a daily income, but it is better than a long stream, and it is a lot of money all year round.
The flower father who made money only had one daughter, so he simply built a big house and built a big house. Invite a craftsman, a color of green bricks to the end, the eaves on the house ridges, covered with fish scales and red tiles, and find Mr. Yin and Yang to see feng shui. Mr. Yin and Yang did what he liked, and gambled to build a flower gate tower with eaves and walls, and the children and grandchildren of the Hua family will produce civil officials and military generals.
In contrast, the Xiyuan Gu family, which is separated by a wall from the Hua family, is overshadowed.
Although Sister-in-law Gu is decent and disdainful of doing things, she is also sitting in sorrow and eating nothing, even if Yueyue has Wang Xuanhong's money and food, can she survive until her son is admitted to the exam? And Gu Ergou was contaminated with the habit of wealth in the school, and the expenses were getting bigger and bigger. (To be continued......)
