A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 177 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (12)
12
The prince was far away, Dingyi straightened up, a person came out from the corner of the room, and he took a closer look at Master Bai.She said, "Master, are you still there? It's so late, hurry back!"

Master Bai said it's okay, "I didn't expect you to be lucky, Prince Jin really asked you to move. How is it? The summer solstice matter..."

Before he finished speaking, the person was thrown out from the corner door, and Xia Zhi rolled over twice on the spot, fell there and couldn't get up.Geshha of the Xianwang's mansion was still scolding, "Boy, you are the lucky one today, and the Twelve Princes interceded with you. It is because your life is not over. Go back and be tight, don't let me see you next time, If you meet me on the street, I will break your third leg without saying a word!"

With a bang, the corner door was closed, Dingyi and Master Bai rushed to help, Xia Zhi rubbed his face with mud, Dingyi wiped it for him, and when he touched his chin, he hummed, "I almost beat me into a mouth, this It's too dark to help a dog's leg..."

I can still talk, but I think I can't die.Stand up and walk back with your arms.When we arrived at Di'anmen, Dingyi thanked Master Bai a thousand times, I'm really sorry for making people sleepless in the middle of the night.

As a yamen official, there are always some petty favors. Mr. Bai said: "It's good to be fine. Let's take a leave tomorrow and recuperate first. The matter is over and it's over. Next time, I need to remember better."

The two agreed, parted ways with him, and walked slowly in the quiet alley.Xia Zhi couldn't keep his mouth open, and kept telling her how the Seventh Prince dealt with him. He beat him so hard, his body was covered in injuries, and he didn't know how to explain when the master came back tomorrow.He also said: "I have to thank you today, thanks to the fact that you know Prince Jin, otherwise I might not be able to get my life back. Hey, what kind of friendship do you have with Prince Jin? You go to ask others to favor you? Let me tell you, some people have bad intentions. They look good on the surface, but they are dressed like beasts in private. British officials are not allowed to go to brothels, and they are allowed to favor young husbands, or there are many palaces in Rouge Hutong, so you have to take it easy."

Dingyi stared straight at him, "Why didn't you beat your mouth to pieces? They saved you, and you're even assigned to them!"

"I don't worry about you..."

"Worry about yourself first, but whoever listens to me can suffer today's flesh and blood?" He scolded and scolded all the way, until the summer solstice was silent, and Tongfu came together.

When Wu Changgeng came back the next day, seeing this defeated soldier, he couldn't help scolding, "Don't worry, son of a bitch, I stabbed such a big basket with my front foot just as I walked away. The little tree moved so fast." Opening is your blessing, if it is broken inside the gate of the house, who can seek justice for you? You deserve it if you die!"

What should I do when I finish scolding, punish me by kneeling!Kneeling at the foot of the south wall, he would not let him get up without speaking.No one cooked the meal, so the master had to go to the Seventh Palace to make amends for him, and Dingyi stayed at home to serve him.The kitchen in the courtyard is not to say that it is used together, and it is kept outside in summer anyway.Build a small shed under the eaves and build an earthen stove, which can support a pot.

Dingyi mixed water and kneaded dough to make steamed buns. Sanqingzi's daughter-in-law also came out to cook. When she saw her, she greeted her, "Are you cooking today? Your elder brother is seriously injured, right? I didn't say that, he owes a lesson. It would be better to break the two ribs fork. You should eat such a wicked public meal and have such a cheap mouth!"

The executioner earned a dishonest job, Ding Yi was not very happy to hear that, San Qingzi's daughter-in-law saw her pulling her face, and hurriedly said, "I'm not talking about you, don't worry about it." After a pause, he accosted, "The tree Ah, how old is this year?"

Dingyi put the steamed buns on the steamer and responded casually, "Seventeen."

"It's time to talk about the daughter-in-law." The woman shouted, "Sister-in-law will secure a matchmaker for you later, the girl is fine, you must like it after seeing it."

Women have nothing to do when they have nothing to do, and love to matchmaking, if she dares to answer a word, she dares to bring you a big girl tomorrow.She waved her hands again and again, "I appreciate your kindness. I can't earn my own food right now. What can I do to support my family! Besides, my senior brother is still a bachelor. As a junior, I can't go beyond the order. Sister-in-law If there is someone in hand, let me tell my senior brother first, he is not too young, and if he has a wife to take care of him, maybe he will become an adult."

Sanqingzi's daughter-in-law snorted, "Stop talking, it's not like no one wants the girl, so I'll give it to you. I see that you are reliable and good-looking, so I want to say goodbye to you, and change it to Xiazhi——" Bar!"

I was chatting here, and I heard a commotion at the other end of the yard. It was originally a large courtyard, and there were everyone.There is a family named Xi living in this courtyard. They used to be rich and opened gold shops. Later generations became more lazy. .People have changed their environment, and their spirits are so low that they can taste the taste of life. Since they are in decline, let's just live with it!The whole family went their separate ways and rarely communicated with each other.It was originally peaceful, but one day the eldest sister-in-law who left the court died of a man, and her husband's family couldn't stay longer and wanted to return to her mother's house.Come back, come back, it's a big deal to have more dishes.Who knew that this eldest sister-in-law belonged to Master Huang, and she was in charge of other affairs by borrowing from her brother's house, running on her sister-in-law all day long, despising this and that, even worse than her mother-in-law.Eating other people's food, but also being able to be in charge of others, who can bear it, my sister-in-law is making trouble.The man couldn't speak, out of sight and out of mind, he hid out, leaving the mother to fight, flying around like a dog.

Grandma Xi's voice was not high, and she cried and wiped her tears if she couldn't scold her sister-in-law, "The bastard star, after you are done harming your husband's family, you are harming your mother's family. Who are you, come to our house to eat and drink without getting a penny. The place where you live and live is to think about the love of flesh and blood, you are fine, with a command arrow under your crotch, you pretend to be the master and grandma..."

The elder sister-in-law was so powerful that she threw things out of the sister-in-law's house without saying a word, let the child scoop up sand with a dustpan and pour it all on the kang, humming and sneering: "I told you to sleep! Who am I, my surname is Xi, this is my home You have a foreign surname, a hen that only eats and does not lay eggs, get out of here as soon as possible, and bid farewell to our Xi family incense."

This kind of drama is staged every three days, and everyone can hear it.

Sanqingzi's daughter-in-law shook her head, "Auntie is better than ten wives, and she is a first-class expert in eye medicine. The girl must find out before going out. The family has a lot of money, and the princes and palaces cannot marry. The Xi family is too old. Amazing, widows are so out of work, there is no other one in Great Britain."

Dingyi doesn't care about the merits of Taoists, and lives one by one. If they don't make noise, maybe they will complain that it's not interesting.She was busy frying potherb mustard in a frying pan, the voice over there gradually died down, and after a while, she saw her eldest sister-in-law come out, with a fringe of bangs floating on her forehead, and she flicked her hands behind her ears. I went to make porridge.

"This kind of vigor! It's really not a good thing..." Several women in the courtyard murmured together, "This is harder to take care of than a mother-in-law, and the whole thing is a living father!"

Ding Yi listened carefully, and could not hear any movement from the Xi family.At this time, the steamed buns were also cooked, and they were brought out with a bamboo drawer. When they entered the room, they planned to greet Xia Zhi for dinner, but when he saw that he was already lying on the cool chair, he started humming "clang for it, clang for it".

"You said the seventh prince is true. Since the dog's appearance is bad, why do you keep it?" He turned over, sat at the table and broke the cornbread, "Didn't Prince Chun promise to pay him one for us? Those who get hated can simply reward us."

When he mentioned dogs, Ding Yi got a headache, "Can you stop thinking about that? Don't you think it's not big enough? If you want to make money, you can't do anything. It's not that you have to catch badgers. Let's set up a stall and sell night food. ah."

"Those who work in the yamen are not allowed to do business. This is the law of Great Britain. It's fine to be an official but not to do business. What kind of spectrum do we have? We can't eat well if we work hard, and we still talk about errands when we drink water every day. "Xia Zhi stuck his chopsticks into the pickle bowl, "It's really impossible to shake coal balls for others, and do hard work to make money, so there's nothing to say!"

He was thinking about how to get the money, and Dingyi was thinking about how to repay Prince Chun.It is inappropriate to ask for help twice with empty hands.It is a yardstick to remember to go to Changbai Mountain. It is common sense for you to help me and thank you for your ordinary life.

However, on a hot day, those plans of each were put on hold for the time being.Let's take a nap after eating, when the summer solstice is right, the master will come back and kneel at the foot of the south wall, and before that, rush to lie down for a while.After tidying up the dishes and chopsticks, Dingyi let them cool off, washed his face and went back to his room to rest.The hut was hot, and the front and rear windows were all open. I held up the palm-leaf fan and fanned it once and for all, and gradually fell asleep. Just about to close my eyes, there was a sudden cry that confused me.

Is something wrong?She jumped out of bed and went out to look. There were many people standing outside Xi's house. The women covered their mouths and whispered, with panic and regret on their faces.Xia Zhi came out from behind in a daze, and looked around, "He's dead!"

Sure enough, Grandma Xi was bullied by her sister-in-law so that she could not survive. She couldn't think about it, so she wiped her neck in the sister-in-law's room, and the blood was all over the kang.

How courageous and determined it is for a weak girl to cut herself like that with a kitchen knife!Everyone poked the aunt's spine, "The thorn in my side has been pulled out, let's stop this time, and I won't be afraid of people looking for it in the middle of the night!" Women are not good, and it is enough to hate them.

Dingyi leaned against the wall, feeling empty inside.It's not easy to build a home, but it's so easy to destroy. It only takes one meal, and it's broken up as soon as it's over.

But this kind of short-sightedness is difficult to be qualitative at once.The yamen had to send someone to look at it, visit the neighbors, and ask about the whereabouts of the suspects.Although everyone hated the eldest aunt and the useless Uncle Xi, after all, human life is at stake and it's not good to talk nonsense.At that time, the Jin family in Dengshikou was doing meritorious deeds and gave porridge, and the elder sister-in-law took the children to make porridge. Even if the younger sister-in-law saw that she was looking for death, she couldn't bear to blame her.In the end, the master settled the case. It was not someone else who committed the murder, and the matter was not under the yamen's control.The bereaved family hasten to pack up and bury it, don't let it go bad in the hot weather.

Who can tell clearly about housework, anyway, it is bad luck to the end, and the most important thing right now is to put people in peace.To hold a funeral has to look like a funeral, buy a coffin, build a funeral tent, and find a drummer. Playing, playing, playing and singing are not for the dead, but for the living.Grandma Xi has her natal family, so she has to come if she gets a letter, and then there will be another chaotic battle.

Ga Qi Ma Ba has a lot of chores, Uncle Xi has been an eagle beak and duck claws since he was a child, and he can't figure it out when he panics.In this courtyard, only Wu Changgeng's master and apprentice dealt with the dead a lot. Uncle Xi looked down on them before, but this time he is not ashamed to ask for advice, because the slit on the grandmother's neck is too long, and I can't handle it by myself, so my daughter-in-law bowed her head to bury her It's not good, I have to find a way to sew it up.

"Who am I looking for? I don't know or know anyone who does this outside." Uncle Xi, whose legs were half short, said with a mournful face, "She hasn't had a good life with me for a few days in her life, and she won't be able to swallow it in the next life." Go down. Uncle Wu, please show me the way, I'm sorry for her, I have to let her go with the whole tail."

After Wu Changgeng smoked a pot of cigarettes, he tapped on the pipe, "There is a cobbler's shop in He Nian Tang who is willing to take this job."

Uncle Xi hesitated and asked, "Do you know what the price is?"

Xia Zhi interjected: "Last time I asked, one sew is two taels of silver. Like your family's situation, I guess one tael is about the same."

Uncle Xi said, "Just kill me... Is there anything cheaper?"

Who wants to do this kind of work, it's not sodium shoe soles, it's sewing heads!Xia Zhi shook her head, "I'm afraid of spending money to do it by myself. Your aunt is idle anyway, so she will be troubled. Three needles and two threads, let's work together."

Isn't this exposing people's scars? It's better to let her pay for her life if she let her sew it up.Dingyi wanted to laugh, so he held back quickly, but before he could calm down, Uncle Xi stared at her blankly, "Tree, last time I saw you mending your master's clothes, you are so brave , how about...can you do me a favor?"
