Madam Hou

Chapter 104

As night falls, everything is silent.The evening wind was blowing, and there was a rustling sound from the yard, and even the white lanterns under the porch were shaking.

Yin Niang took the pliers to pick out the wick, and the originally dark room brightened up immediately.

Yin Niang went to sit behind Lin Fengqi and took a handkerchief to help him wipe his wet hair.He couldn't shave his hair during the hot filial piety, and his hair and beard grew longer.

Lin Fengqi sat in front and said: "I see that my second brother has nothing to do at home all day long. I went to him today and told him that it is better to let him take care of the family's property. After I am done filial piety, I will arrange for him in the five yamen. A post. If I decide this way, you won’t have any objections, will you?”

Yin Niang said with a smile: "You decide the matter of the outer court. Ask me what to do. Am I such a stingy person? It's just that you have to ask the second brother clearly. If he has his own plans, don't force him to do so." People."

Lin Fengqi said: "Naturally. I also asked him today if he planned to study for the imperial examination. If so, I will help him find a better gentleman. Xiao, I will help him with a job again."

"What does he mean?"

"He said that he has no talent in reading, and he may not be able to pass the imperial examination. Why not help me manage the family property, so that I can rest assured to make contributions outside."

"What about the second sibling, can you ask him to go back and discuss it with the second sibling?"

"What about our elders, what to discuss with her, a housewife."

Yinniang slammed Lin Fengqi on the head, but he dodged it, Yinniang said angrily, "I'm also a housewife, so why don't you discuss things with me in the future?"

Lin Fengqi stretched out his hand to pull Yinniang La, smiled and said flatteringly, "Don't worry, I will definitely discuss with you if I have something to do. You are not an ordinary housewife, but a very beautiful and lovely housewife."

Yin Niang slapped off the claws that were pulling on her clothes, then stretched out her hand and pulled her husband's ear and said, "I make you look down on women, make you look down on women"

Lin Fengqi covered his ears, "Oh, oh" and cried out in pain, "Don't pull it, don't pull it, your ears hurt."

Only then did Yin Niang let go of her hand, she finally felt a little sorry that she had hit too hard, so she blew it for him again.Lin Fengqi said: "Okay, I'm lying to you, with such little strength, how could it be possible to hurt me."

Seeing that Lin Fengqi's hair was dry, Yinniang helped him tie it into a bun and fixed it with a wooden hairpin.Just when this was done, Caizhu suddenly came in from the outside again, walked to Lin Fengqi and Yinniang, and said anxiously: "Master, madam, the second madam and the second master are having trouble again."

After hearing this, Lin Fengqi complained: "Why are these two younger siblings so ignorant, making troubles all day long. Leave them alone, let them make troubles about their husband and wife, and we will pretend we don't know."

Yin Niang ignored him, and asked Cai Zhu, "Did they shut the door and make trouble in the room, or did they come out of the yard?"

Cai Zhu replied: "It's a terrible commotion, it's worse than last time, the second wife smashed a lot of things, and there are many maids around the Danfeng courtyard watching. It seems that it's because the second master has a woman or something. "

"Listen, it must be the second brother and sister who are making trouble for no reason again, and they have to make troubles if there is no shadow. The second brother is an honest person, how could he make something about women during the filial piety period. I don't know what happened back then. What did mother think, how could she hire such a daughter-in-law for the second brother, and make the inner courtyard go crazy all day long."

Yin Niang thought: You really don't know why your mother hired such a wife for him?It's not that he doesn't care about the concubine, the girl hastily hired in without inquiring about her character, and she thinks that Mrs. He is not smart enough to deal with it.As a result, it may be true that people are not smart, but it is not necessarily easy to handle.

Although Yinniang thought so in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, she stood up and said: "I'll go and have a look, after all, I'm still in the period of filial piety, so it's not unreasonable to make such a fuss, I'll go and persuade my second younger brother and sister."

Caizhu took the lantern and went to Danfeng Courtyard with Yinniang.

Before Yinniang walked in, she heard the sound of "cracking, crackling" things coming from the Danfeng courtyard. At this time, the courtyard door opened, and several little maids from other courtyards were lying on the courtyard door, watching carefully. Movement in the yard.

When one of the maids saw Yinniang coming, she quickly tugged on her companion's clothes. The maidservant who had reacted was shocked when she saw Yinniang, and hurriedly came over to salute Yinniang together: "Madam."

Yin Niang glared at them, and reprimanded: "Don't you need to wait by Master's side? What are you doing here at night?"

After all, they were some twelve or thirteen-year-old maidservants who were so frightened that they did not dare to look up when they were stared at by Yin Niang. At this time, they ran away quickly when they heard Yin Niang's words.

Yin Niang entered the yard, and saw the door of the house was open, and seven or eight servant girls were standing outside the house in twos and threes, looking like they were watching the scene.Yinniang frowned when she saw this, she felt that the maids in Danfeng Courtyard were really unruly, and she also felt that He's behavior was really speechless, even if she really wanted to quarrel, she couldn't let the maids go down first, and closed the door to quarrel slowly , so let a bunch of maids watch the fun outside, isn't it very face-saving?

Yinniang winked at Caizhu, Caizhu nodded, and yelled at the maids in the yard: "What are you looking at? If there are any rules, go down immediately. Tomorrow, I will go to the supervisor's mother to get the board, and then everyone will buckle up." Three months' monthly money."

The maids quickly came up to salute, and then hurried out again.Cai Zhu went out and closed the courtyard door, and then guarded the door.

After entering the house, Yinniang saw a pile of broken vases, teapots and other things on the ground, maybe she was tired from smashing them, and at this time Mrs. He was sitting on the kang and stared fiercely at Lin Fengqi.Beside her, Mother He and Xiu'er were persuading her at a loss, and there were several other servant girls who were almost scared to death.And Lin Fengqi stood in the middle of the room, pursing his lips, his face was livid, and he also stared fiercely at He Shi, his forehead was injured, and blood was still oozing out at this moment.

Yin Niang said angrily: "What is this for, what can't be said properly, I have to make such a fuss for the servants to see as a joke."

Lin Fengqi relaxed his stiff expression, and shouted respectfully to Yinniang: "Sister-in-law!"

However, Mrs. He smiled ironically at Yinniang, and said, "Hey, this is coming to my yard to act as a sister-in-law. It's not me who did shameful things. I'm afraid that someone will read a joke. If you want a joke, it's a joke." A person who has no face or skin to seduce my brother-in-law..."

Lin Fengqi quickly reprimanded: "Mr. He, shut up now."

What kind of trouble is this, Yin Niang almost didn't understand what she meant.

Lin Fengqi turned around again and cupped his hands at Yinniang, saying: "Mr. He is talking nonsense, please don't mind my sister-in-law."

"Okay, I defended him right in front of my face. She really is my sweetheart..." As he spoke, he looked around and found that there was really nothing to throw away, so he pushed all the small tables on the kang When he reached the ground, he continued: "You're ashamed of me, and I won't make it easy for you. Don't you just like this little bitch? Unfortunately, it's useless if you like it. That's your elder brother's woman. Why, isn't it? You want to wait for her to be divorced by your elder brother, and then pick up your elder brother's rags, it's really dirty..."

Yin Niang was so angry that her face turned blue. It was the first time she was called a little slut face to face, and it was the first time she was scolded so badly. Even Zhao Juan never scolded her face to face like this back then.Yin Niang said: "He Shi, do you know what you are talking about?"

Just as Yinniang finished speaking, He threw something over, which hit Yinniang's chest and then fell to the ground.Yinniang looked down, only to find that it was a purse with plum blossoms embroidered with gold thread on a red background.

Mrs. He continued to scold: "Since you dare to do it, you are afraid that people will tell you about it. Only a shameless country hoof like you can do it. Don't pretend to be a chaste and strong woman there. It's just a whore. I just want to shout out, so that others can see your shameless appearance..."

Yin Niang picked up the purse and looked at it, she was naturally familiar with the needlework on it.

She was too lazy to talk to Mrs. He, and directly said to the maidservants beside her: "What are you doing standing there? The second lady is talking nonsense here because of hysteria. Why don't you take a piece of cloth to cover her mouth, and then help her?" She's going to rest."

Mother He and Xiu'er didn't move at the side, while the other two maidservants looked at each other, and then immediately went to find a piece of white cloth and brought it up.

Mother He and Xiu'er cried and stopped the maid who was about to come forward, and pleaded: "Ma'am, our second wife will never talk nonsense again, please forgive our second wife once."

He also said angrily to the two servant girls: "How dare you, who are you girls in the yard, who actually listen to her words, if you dare to touch a hair on me, see if I don't peel your skin.... "

"Still dawdling in what to do, not going forward yet."

These words came from the mouth of Lin Fengqi who just came in.

The two servant girls saw that it was Master Hou who spoke, and Master Hou's face turned blue as if he was going to eat people, so they didn't dare to delay any longer, and Mother He and Xiu'er didn't dare to stop Lin Fengqi when they saw Lin Fengqi.The two servant girls held He Shi down, and stuffed the white cloth into He Shi's mouth.

He couldn't speak, and could only stare at Yinniang and Lin Fengqi fiercely with his eyes open.

Following Mrs. Lin Tai also came in from the outside. Lin Fengqi saw her and hurried over to support her, saying: "Mother, why are you here?"

Mrs. Lin Tai said: "I still haven't come after making such a big commotion. I'm not dead." After she finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. He, then patted herself on the forehead, and complained, "What evil did I do in my previous life? How did you hire such a daughter-in-law to come in?"

Yin Niang quickly lowered her head and repented: "It's all the daughter-in-law's fault, she didn't manage the inner courtyard well, and she was too tired to worry about us."

Madam Lin waved her hand and said, "It's none of your business."

Following Madam Linhou, she said to the servant girl again: "Second Madam has hysteria, let her recuperate in the yard. I don't think there is any need to invite a doctor, so as not to waste medicinal materials. Just you guys take care of her carefully. When will she Alright, let her come out."

The two servant girls bent their knees and said, "Yes."

After Mrs. He was taken down, Mrs. Lin spread her palms to Yin Niang, motioning her to hand over the things.Yinniang had no choice but to take out the purse that she had hidden in her sleeve and put it in Mrs. Lin's palm.Mrs. Lin took it in her hand and touched it, then waved her hand and slapped Lin Fengye on the face, and said angrily: "You want everyone in the whole house to bury your love with you, don't you?"

When Yanniang was sent to the palace, Mrs. Lin immediately took people to search Lin Fengye's yard, destroyed everything related to Yanniang, and ordered the concubine not to keep anything related to Yanniang. Things, I am afraid that someone will take the little relationship Yanniang had with him before, and be magnified and used to plot against Yanniang and the Houfu.Unexpectedly, he was so courageous that he dared to secretly hide the fish that slipped through the net.

Lin Fengye lowered his head and did not speak.

Mrs. Lin Tai said again: "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down for a night, in front of your ancestors, and think about what you did wrong."

"Yes."

Mrs. Lin Tai handed the purse to Linglong who was behind her again, and said, "Take it and burn it."
