Chapter 180 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (15)
15
When the rain eased a little, Dingyi went back, riding a horse, with the umbrella given to him by the prince on his shoulder.

It was already dark, and the people facing the street lit their lamps. When they passed by the window, they looked up at the afterglow. The umbrellas were like the ones in the house. The cotinus chinensis cloth was brushed with tung oil, and the ribs of the umbrellas were made lighter than ordinary ones.The things used by princes and princes are elegant, they are too stupid, and they lose their status, unlike ordinary people like them, let alone umbrellas, who dare to run around the street with a basket.

The raindrops hit the umbrella surface and crackled, she squeezed the carved handle, thinking of the Twelve Princes pulling her, as if she could still recall the temperature.She has been in the market for many years and is at the bottom. She doesn't know what the powerful clan is like, but as far as the Twelfth Lord is concerned, she has combined everything she can think of, so good that she doesn't know how to take it. What words to describe.

In fact, it is not a hindrance if the ears are inconvenient. If you can't hear people talking behind their backs and saying bad things, you can come and go alone, whether it's praise or slander, you can't get in at all.It's just that the world is lonely, no one talks to him face to face, I'm afraid I can only sit quietly alone, and it's quite sad to think about it.

It would be great if she could come into the mansion, Dingyi thought regretfully as she turned the handle of the umbrella, the girl is careful, seeing him isolated and talking with her, so he doesn't need to be alone.Such a dedicated Goshha can block the knife and chat with him, what else can he choose?It's a pity that people look down on her, and I am too embarrassed to pester him.After all, people don't owe you anything, and whoever gives you a good face will be so crazy that you can't find it. It's too ignorant to know what's good or bad.Fortunately, there is this umbrella, just like what is sung in the opera, sow a cause, bear fruit, come and go, at least there is a chance to meet again.

Anyway, it went smoothly, and after talking for a while today, it can be regarded as a new layer of familiarity, and it will be easier to cling to next time.To follow to the north, only he can catch up here.The Seventh Prince also went to Ninggu Pagoda, but he couldn't be provoked, and almost killed her several times, even if she walked alone, she would never go to the Xianwang's mansion.

Horseshoes rattling, entering the alley and hearing the chime beating, when...dang...dang... It's a little scary in the dark night.It is not a good idea to beat gongs and cymbals at night, for fear of disturbing the neighbors.It was lively on the second day, and all the drummers practiced, blah blah, playing "Crying for the Emperor".There are also a group of monks chanting scriptures and setting off flames, and ordinary people do not spend more money on funerals than on weddings.

Dingyi led the horse into the house. Her master and several neighbors were sitting at the table talking, lighting an oil lamp, and there was a big tea bowl on the table. Seeing her, she asked, "Why have you been here for so long, horse cobbler?" They're all gone, are you coming back now?"

She wiped her face with a towel and said, "He put on a show and refused to come. It's unlucky and he wants to give an umbrella to his son. I have nothing to do, so I have to agree to go for him."

Xia Zhi strolled to the door with her chest in her arms, leaned against the door frame and glanced at the umbrella, "Didn't it be given to someone, why did you get it back by yourself?"

She said: "It's not that one. The horse cobbler's son works as a cook in Prince Jin's mansion. I gave it to him. When he came back, he was stuck there in heavy rain. He happened to meet Lord Twelfth. He kindly lent it to me. I will come back tomorrow." Send them back."

Xia Zhi sucked his teeth as if his teeth were sore, "Why did we meet again, this is too coincidental."

What's even more coincidental, even the birthdays are on the same day, and it can be sung into a play after we make it up.There is no need to explain the inside story to him too clearly, and he said casually: "Send it to someone's house, can we not meet?"

Xia Zhi kicked out the puddle of mud in front of the door, "It is said that the Hou Men are as deep as the sea, but looking at the Prince Chun's Mansion is just a small courtyard, you can meet them as soon as you go... I can tell you, making friends is the same as marrying a big girl." The reason is to pay attention to family equality. He is a prince, we must stick to each other, and we will not be able to fall in the end."

Dingyi gave him a white look, "If you don't make friends, you are still locked in the dog shed!" The two sentences made Xia Zhi resentful, she ignored him and asked the master, "What happened to the cobbler's money?" Food? How much does he want?"

Wu Changgeng knocked on the cigarette pot, "You said you asked your aunt to ask for it?"

She blinked and said, "Yes, you can't take advantage of her."

"Don't meddle with other people's housework, children." Wu Changgeng coughed in a long voice, "He is looking for her to go, but the aunt said that there is no money, but there is a life, and in the end it is everyone Those who joined together. If one or two people think it is too small, they will be sent away with another hanging. Uncle Xi is pitiful, crying from east to west, and has no idea at all."

I don't know how to cry until my wife dies. Why did I go so early?This auntie is so savage, it makes people's teeth itch, "She is playing tricks to the end! Grandma's natal family hasn't come yet? If she doesn't come, the coffin will be closed."

"My mother's family is in Fangshan, and people have already reported the funeral. Xi's family intends to bury them quietly, but everyone refuses to obey, saying that you are no good, the real big girl married to your house and was run to death. Don't mention black and white. You’re buried, my elder brother Shenling must open your brains.” San Qingzi said with spit, “Mr. Xi, this man can’t stand being frightened. After thinking about it, it’s true. , I wiped my eyes and tears and moved the stool, and asked everyone to erect the coffin."

Sanqingzi's daughter-in-law rubbed her belly and sighed, "Women are suffering. There are wolves and tigers in front of the house after marriage. Now that you are in decline, let's live a stable life. Another big sister-in-law is here to disrupt the situation. Grandma Xi is very kind. I also talk to everyone in and out, I didn’t expect to go this way in the end, I was really forced to do it.”

Sanqingzi murmured, "Why don't you say that you women are narrow-minded? What's the big deal? You've screwed yourself over. Are you useless or not?"

Dingyi looked out, the rain had stopped, and the white tassels on the door of Xi's house were damp and drooped there.The people in the house come and go, all of them are neighbors who are helping with the housekeeping.The culprit didn't see it, so I don't know if he was hiding. Anyway, no one can do anything about her now, so I hope that the natal family over there will uphold justice.It's impossible to save her, at least beat her up and vent her anger.

I stretched my neck to look forward to it, but I didn't expect it to really come.A lot of soldiers rushed in at the gate of the courtyard, all of them were holding torches with their trouser legs tied up, and they all stood upright, looking like officials and family members.A middle-aged man with big arms and a round waist came in from behind, his beard had been shaved, leaving a blue shadow on his chin, he strode straight to Xi's house with his waist knife in his hands.Xu knew that the girl's death was inexplicable, and the female relatives of the family also came to attend the funeral. It is not taboo for women not to go out.Seeing that they were dressed as the leading wives and aunts, they began to howl before entering the room.

Immediately there was a burst of crying, and the neighbors wiped their tears together with soft hearts.Dingyi and Sanqingzi squeezed in to have a look, Master Shenling stood in front of the coffin, staring at the stitches on Grandma's neck and trembling all over.He grabbed Uncle Xi by the collar with his hands back, his voice distorted, and shook him vigorously, "What did you do to our aunt? What happened to her?" He raised his hand and punched him, "I beat you to death, you rebel! Why do you come to the door to beg, don't want your sister to ask for your sister... My sister asked you to beg, and you ended up like this! Why don't you die, you still have the face to breathe?"

Master Shen Ling didn't care about face, and his big fists flew around.Don't dare to stop them, those who join the army can't use up their strength.As for Uncle Xi, he dodged with his head in his arms, he was useless, he wronged his wife to death, and he deserved the beating.Master Shenling was ruthless, and within a short while he beat people into black eyes. He knelt down in front of the grandma's coffin and cried. As for me, how can I explain it? You can take me away too, what am I doing alive, and what smell is there!"

Some people in the yard were so weak that they dug out the elder aunt from nowhere, and pushed them in front of the leader, "You run on the elder grandma all day long, so that she wiped her neck. Now my brother-in-law is here, and the elder aunt said Two sentences!"

Shen Lingyi had something to say in his obedient words, his sister was a face-saving person, and when she returned to her natal home, she didn't say a word except for the autumn wind.This silly girl, if you can't fight, don't you know come back to ask for help?Such a thing that dogs don't eat, tied up his hands and feet and threw it into the pond to finish it off. How could he lose his life!With fire in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Our aunt died for you, are you happy now?"

The eldest aunt is also a powerful person, she is not stage frightened, and retorted: "My uncle is wrong, I have come to the Yamen to see, the eldest grandmother committed suicide, she is no different from others. You are walking in the officialdom, so you have to be reasonable. Who She didn't cut her with a knife, she couldn't think about it herself, who can she blame? Don't bully us orphans and widows just because you are a man."

This made Master Shenling lose his temper, he couldn't do anything, but it doesn't matter, there are also wives and aunts at home.This Mrs. Shen was born in Xiasanqi, and she is a hot-blooded person. She wears eye drops and wears small shoes as a dowry brought by her natal family.Usually sister-in-law doesn't deal with it, that's the previous story, now something happened, the endless flesh and blood of close relatives can't be trampled to death in vain.Without making a sound, he grabbed his aunt's heart and greeted the people around him, "Still watching? Hit!"

So with a combination of punches and kicks, the eldest aunt was beaten until she cried for her father and mother.When a woman goes to martial arts, pulling her hair and clothes is a unique skill. The aunt can't handle so many people, and soon her clothes are ragged and rolled on the floor, revealing all the white flesh on her stomach.Mrs. Shenling stepped on it, and snorted angrily: "Look, you have run our aunt to the point of nowhere, but you have raised yourself to a good body! A dead man, like a poor family bird, went back to his mother's house to be an adult!" Lafayette, hey. Come here, bring me the ruler! My aunt has no children, I have to find someone to send her in sackcloth and mourning." said one end, gritted his teeth and dragged the person under the coffin, and pressed it on the coffin. Kowtow there, "Cry for me, cry hard! Later, you still have the part to raise the flag and throw the basin. If you kill someone, you plan to just muddle through like this. It's easy to bully us when we are Ding!"

Oh, what a mess, my great aunt has two children, and she cries for her mother in a high-pitched voice.The person next to him also said, "These two little bastards are not good guys. Rats can make holes, and they will vent their anger just like their mother."

In fact, I was angry at the beginning, and felt that my aunt did not clean up, but after seeing it like this, it was inexplicably embarrassing.Dingyi couldn't stand it anymore, he beat him to death like this, and he was really beaten to death.She glanced at Xia Zhi, "Are you planning to stop?"

Xia Zhi picked her teeth and said, "I have to ask people to relieve their anger. After all, it's a life. It's not once or twice to quarrel. Every day, I pick my nose and eyes, why? I don't eat her food, it's me. I can't take it either."

She rubbed her hands, "Don't be beaten to death, if someone dies, our courtyard is full of people from Shuntian Mansion."

Xia Zhi waved his hand, "If you can't be beaten to death, if you don't see blood, just tear it up a few times, and you won't be killed. Besides, it doesn't matter if you die. The victim is a counselor, and someone will take care of it if the sky falls."

Since that was the case, she stopped worrying about that leisurely, and took two steps back, intending to exit quietly.Just as I was about to go out, I ran into the deacon who was in charge of the funeral, and said, "Tree, come to work. Master Shen Ling will invite a group of drummers after he speaks. Would you like to come? It's still the same as usual, you just play the trumpet For half a day, I will give you 24 big boys."

Ding Yi used to do this when he had no errands, to earn extra money.She is good at playing the trumpet, especially the "Xi Chong Chong" that she plays for weddings. Her voice is high-pitched and fast-paced.

It's not a good reputation, it's weird, but people live to make money.Don't think of yourself as a woman, because you don't have the capital.Now I am working hard so that I can put on a skirt and tie up my hair one day earlier.She snorted, "Turn around and ask my master for instructions, save a seat for me, and I'll come."
