Fair Lady

It was past noon when Shuyao and the others came back from the mountain. The strange thing was that the three brothers and sisters of Shujie didn't feel hungry, they were just tired from crying.

When he was about to return to Xitang Street, looking at the tired-looking neighbors, Shuyao, who was sitting on the scooter, reached out to Shujie who was walking beside him to hug him, then said a few words in his ear, and said He took out a two taels of silver from his bosom (actually from the mahogany box), and stuffed it into Shujie's bosom under the cover of his body.

Shujie didn't suspect anything, but felt that he was not as thoughtful as his younger sister. From last night to today, thanks to the help of the neighbors, everyone is now so hungry that their chests are on their backs.

Shujie walked up to Aunt Li and handed her the money: "Auntie, I'm inconvenient all over, can you help me order two drawers of meat buns, steamed buns and two pots of hot soup from Xiangxiang Restaurant in Qianjie, all uncles and aunts We were tired for most of the day, and now we are starving. After the first seven days, the three of us, three brothers and sisters, ordered a few white banquets at the restaurant to thank all the neighbors for their help.

Aunt Li originally wanted to say that there is no need to waste money, but seeing Shujie's firm gaze, she still didn't say it.For one thing, the neighbors who helped were really starving. The family was doing chores, and everyone who came to help had to prepare food.After the first seven days, it is customary to set up a few tables of white banquets. The Xia family has no adults to buy and cook, so it is right to want to hold it in the restaurant.

Thinking about it again, these three children will need the neighbors to help and take care of them in many ways in the future, and they must also understand the ways of the world and have a good relationship with everyone.Aunt Li finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away, but Brother Jie, let's hold the white banquet in your yard, and Ajuan and I will help with shopping and cooking. You are still young, and the place where the money is spent It's a lot, and it's a little bit of savings. Auntie will take the money first, and I'll tell you how much I use later.

Of course it's better to do it at home. It's not 01:30 cheaper than going to a restaurant. Neighbors can also bring some leftovers home.Shujie gratefully replied: "Then listen to Auntie, thank you Auntie, I will take three taels of silver and put it with Auntie later."

Uncle Li has heard the conversation between the two women, and said to everyone: "Neighbors, go back and wash first, and then go to Xia's yard for dinner. Shujie has asked my daughter-in-law to order hot soup and steamed buns."

When everyone heard this, their first thought was to waste money, and now these three children are sitting on nothing.But thinking about it, everyone is tired and hungry at the moment, and there is indeed no one to cook, so there is no objection, but they all confess: "Aunt Li, steamed buns are just fine, and there is no need for meat buns. Can't get enough."

Shujie whispered: "Auntie, don't listen to everyone. You need half meat and half steamed buns. You can gain strength if you have meat. Don't worry, Auntie, Shujie knows it well." He can write and count, he is also good at martial arts, he has a lot of strength, and he is not afraid of not being able to support himself and his younger brothers and sisters.In addition, the empty house at home can also be rented out.Xitang Street is in the center of the town and close to the market, and their house is not bad.

Shuyao, who was quietly in Shujie's arms, knew that her eldest brother was going to make money when she heard her elder brother's words "Shujie knows what's in his heart".But where does he, a 15-year-old kid, go to earn money?No more imperial examinations?

In the previous life, Shuwen developed a high fever and burned his brain. After Shujie knew about it, he was very anxious. He came to the door and asked his uncle to invite more good doctors for Shuwen.The uncle and aunt cried desperately, saying that this disease is a bottomless pit and burns money.Shujie not only sold the yard, but also gave up studying and went to the darts, narrowly escaped death.As a result, Shuwen was taken to the river by those people and killed.

Shuyao hugged Shujie's neck, buried her head on her elder brother's shoulder and wept silently, secretly decided to tell her elder brother about the mahogany box tonight, so that he could study with peace of mind.

As soon as the three of Shujie entered their yard, they saw Zhang Shiwen sitting at the big round table by the well. This was set for breakfast by the neighbors who helped this morning, and there were many neighbors standing behind Zhang Shiwen.

"Uncle Zhang" and Shujie hurried forward to salute.

Shuyao threw herself into Zhang Shiwen's arms and cried, "Uncle Zhang, my mother has gone to find my father." Zhang Shiwen and his wife gave birth to three sons, but they didn't have the girl they had been looking forward to, so they loved Shuyao very much.A while ago, they said that they would hold a banquet to recognize Shuyao as a daughter-in-law, and maybe they could bring a daughter who was as pink and cute as her to the Zhang family. Who would have expected that Xia Linxuan would suddenly have an accident in a few days. It's not good to mention it again.

Zhang Shiwen picked up Shuyao: "Don't be afraid, good boy. Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, and so many neighbors will take care of you. Your father and mother have helped many people when they were alive. Come on, Wen'er is also coming to Uncle, you go away Are you hungry after traveling so far in the mountains?" Zhang Shiwen had just heard Qingfu and the others talk about the farce of Xia's family and Zhen Dafu and his wife yesterday, as well as the fire, and he was so angry that he felt even more distressed for the three poor children.

Shuwen answered obediently: "Wen'er is not hungry. Eldest brother asked Aunt Li to order buns for her. After a while, uncles, aunts and ladies will come over to eat buns. Can Uncle Zhang eat together?"

Zhang Shiwen's eyes were slightly red: "Okay, Uncle Zhang eats here too. By the way, Shujie, you decide what to do with those people. With Uncle Zhang around, you won't be bullied."

Only then did Qiutao find a chance to speak: "Brother Jie, those people came to your house to steal things, they turned them around in a mess, and the drawers were all pried. Look, they are still digging holes under the tree, and they don't know what they are looking for. ?”

Only then did the three of Shujie notice the "tragedy" under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and Zhen Dafu, who was crying on the corridor between the north room and the east room, his right foot was wrapped like a big rice dumpling.On the other hand, Mrs. Lin hugged a wooden box tightly. Seeing Shuyao looking over, she subconsciously wanted to cover it with her sleeves.

Shuyao took a closer look, she saw a very familiar wooden box, where have you seen it before?Seeing the pit under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree again, uh, I remembered, so funny!

Shuyao's immature voice was full of curiosity: "Brother, what is Auntie doing holding Huahua's coffin? Are you still hugging so tightly?"

Shuwen's eyes widened: "That's right, that's the coffin my sister begged Dad to make for Huahua. It's been buried for a long time, what did Auntie do to dig it out?"

Huahua?What flower?What coffin?Lin was shocked, is this dead girl cheating on her?She stared fiercely at Cuizhu looking for an answer.

Only then did Cuizhu remember that a year ago, she asked her wife for leave to go back to visit her mother who was seriously ill. When she came back, she heard that the turtledove "Huahua" raised by the girl had died, and the girl buried Huahua under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. sky.

Cuizhu looked at the wooden box in Lin's arms again, the lid was not locked, but nailed.

She said "ah" and pointed to the wooden box: "Huahua... Huahua is the turtledove raised by the girl. It died a year ago, and the girl buried it under the tree."

"Ah——" Lin was so frightened that he dropped the box in his arms.

I don’t know if it’s because Zhen Dafu didn’t look at the almanac when he went out this time. Huahua’s coffin fell from a high altitude onto the wound on his right foot with great precision. red.

The peerless screams spread throughout the entire Xitang Street again...

The neighbors who rushed in couldn't help laughing. Zhang Shiwen just drank the tea in his mouth and spewed out: "Huahua is really a good bird!" The owner exhaled.

Wu Langzhong, who had just left for a short time, was invited back again to help Zhen Dafu re-bandage the wound and sighed: "Uncle Zhen, you can go to the Langzhong after you go back. You can't bear force or touch the water. Take good care of it, and at least It will take more than half a year to raise it."

Wu Langzhong has already heard about Zhen Dafu's injury, and heard the servants muttering "Grandma is getting angry", and also heard what happened last night. His back was already wet with sweat, and he dared not have any contact with the Zhen family anymore. up.Well, he wants to let his daughter-in-law go to burn incense, and quietly save the Xia family's wife, use up all the sealing money given by the Zhen family, and add some by himself.

In fact, Zhen Dafu was really scared, he just wanted to get out of this terrible courtyard quickly, her younger sister was not easy to bully when she was alive, and she will still be punished after death.

But Mrs. Lin is not reconciled. The eldest son, Abao, was tricked into bringing a batch of poisonous ingredients into their family's "Delicious Building", and now he ate to death a customer who was a member of the famous gang in Daming Prefecture.

If it wasn't for Master Murong's embarrassment and paying 800 taels of silver to settle the matter, how could those bastards be willing to give up?Master Murong is the younger brother of Mr. Murong, Minister of the Household Department of Beijing, and even the prefect would give him some face in the city of Damingfu.

But the Murong's family didn't help for nothing, they had something to do.

The eldest son of Shangshu Mansion and Zhen Zirou were originally husband and wife, but later reconciled. Zhen Zirou married Xia Linxuan, who was still working as a bodyguard at that time, and returned to Yulin Town together.Many years later, for some reason, Uncle Murong, who had raised his wife and cousin as his wife, suddenly wanted to take back Zhen Zirou's sons and daughters as the legitimate sons and daughters of the Murong Mansion.But Shuyao's siblings are obviously Xia Linxuan's children, and Zhen Zirou left Shangshu Mansion for nearly a year when she was pregnant.

Uncle Murong promised that after the matter was completed, he would not only help Ke Ying, the second son of the Zhen family, get a letter of recommendation to enter the Daming Academy, but also get 1000 taels of traveling expenses.

If it can't be done, if those gangsters make trouble again, I'm afraid that the magistrate's yamen will seal off the two "delicious buildings" of Zhen's family.

Now the two big boxes of silver and medicinal materials have been burned up, and the dowry box of Zhen Zirou in Cui Zhu's mouth can't be found, and nothing can be found. up.

At this time, Shu Jie who had been frowning all the time said, "For the sake of your mother's brother and sister-in-law, I will let you off this time. If you come to our house again to be a thief next time, you will definitely be sent to the government."

Lin stared at a pair of golden fish eyes and began to snark: "Oh, how do you talk? You are still a scholar, have you learned what it means to respect the elders? Who is a thief? We want to take Shuyao and Shuwen away. They are just packing their bags. Just ask Cui Zhu, our sister-in-law has entrusted Shuyao sister and brother to our master.
