Madam Hou

Chapter 150

On May [-]th, the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongning made full moon wine, and the Marquis of Yongning entertained guests at home.

The maids and women in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion are all in a hurry, busy with the banquet of the Hou Mansion.The boy guarding the gate was so busy that he didn't even touch the ground, he didn't even dare to blink his eyes, he was afraid that if the guests came and went, he would sneak in some idlers and bump into the guests in the inner courtyard, and they wouldn't be able to eat. and left.

The second wife of the Dong family got down from the carriage and asked the maid beside her to pass the post to the boy. The boy opened the post and looked at it. Seeing that it was the mother's family of the eldest lady, he raised his head to look at the second lady Dong. Seeing her Standing dignifiedly, his expression was a little cold and arrogant.There was also a woman behind her, that woman was a bit strange, with an ugly face, a black mole the size of a soybean at the corner of her mouth, she stood respectfully behind Mrs. Dong with her head bowed, holding a big bundle in her hand.The servant didn't care too much, he just thought that the Dong family was in decline now, and they couldn't even afford to use a better woman, so they could only use this unworthy person.

The boy closed the post, smiled, and said: "So it's my wife, I'm disrespectful and disrespectful!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at the boy who was standing motionless beside him, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? The in-laws welcome you to the inner courtyard."

The young servant hurried over, made a gesture of invitation to Mrs. Dong, and said, "My wife, please!"

The Second Madam Dong stepped in, and a maid and a woman beside her followed suit.

After entering the gate, I got on the green oil trolley walking in the inner courtyard, and within half a stick of incense, I arrived at the second gate of the inner courtyard.At the second gate, Mrs. Liang, the second wife of the Lin family, came out to greet her.Mrs. Liang saluted Mrs. Dong with a smile, and said, "Sister-in-law, long time no see, how are you doing recently? The third brother and sister are entertaining Mrs. Kang Guogong and Mrs. Weibeihou and others in the garden. Let me welcome you, in-laws Sister-in-law, don't you mind?"

Mrs. Dong Er sighed in her heart, it is true that a hairless phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. If their Dong family was still prosperous back then, how dare the Hou family look down on them like this? It should be Mrs. Lin who came to welcome them in person, but now they let a bastard daughter-in-law come forward.Mrs. Dong was worried, but she didn't show it on her face. She also smiled and replied: "Everyone is relatives, why would you mind?"

Liang Shi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Please hurry up, sister-in-law is also listening to an opera in the garden."

The two entered the inner courtyard side by side. Not long after they left, Mrs. Dong suddenly stopped and said to Mrs. Liang: "Oh, by the way, I brought something for our aunt and grandma," pointing to the mother-in-law behind her. With the burden in his hand, he continued: "I'll let Cui Momo send it to the yard of my aunt first."

Mrs. Liang looked at the woman behind Mrs. Dong Er, then smiled and said, "Then I'll let a little maid lead her there." Then he said to one of the maids beside him, "Cuiping, send Cuima to Qinghe hospital."

Cuiping knelt and said yes, and then said to the woman, "Well, please follow me."

The mother-in-law followed Cuiping all the way to the Qinghe Courtyard. At the gate of the courtyard, Bingyue had been waiting there. Seeing Cuiping led the mother-in-law over, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Sister Cuiping!" Then she looked behind her. The mother-in-law said: "The second wife of my relatives said a few days ago that I would bring some things to Mrs. Madam today, but did you bring them?"

The mother-in-law lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

Cuiping smiled and said: "Since I have already brought Meme, I will hand over Meme to Sister Bingyue, and I will go back to the Second Lady to serve her."

Bingyue said: "Sister Lao Cuiping is here." She took four eight-cent silver nuggets from her purse and stuffed them into Cuiping, and said: "This is for you to buy snacks."

Cuiping thanked her and left.

It wasn't until Cuiping walked away that Bingyue took her mother-in-law into the yard.But instead of leading the mother-in-law to the main room or the flower hall, she went straight into the Buddhist hall of the Da Tai Furen.

In the Buddhist hall, the mother-in-law changed her timidity and kept silent, straightened her chest, put the bundle in her hand on the table and untied it. Inside was a box three inches long and two inches wide.Open the box, and there are two paper figurines with birthdays written side by side inside.

Bingyue said: "The method you did is really effective? Don't coax our money away, but the matter is not done well!"

The mother-in-law said: "Don't worry, girl. I, Taoist Cui, are well-known in the Tao. You go to Jiangnan to find out. Who doesn't know that I am Taoist Cui. It's just that I didn't often walk around in the capital. I don’t know me. Miss, you know the wife of the prefect of Quanzhou. It was the prefect’s cousin who asked me to do the method. She died suddenly. Even the doctor couldn’t find the cause of death. I'm going to marry that cousin and come in as my successor..."

Bingyue was not interested in listening to her talking about pickling in other people's houses, so she interrupted: "You were recommended by our in-laws second wife, so I naturally trust you, so hurry up and do it!"

On the other side, in the main room of Tangrong Courtyard, Yinniang hugged Brother Yi who suddenly started crying, and gently coaxed her, her heart ached so much that she almost burst into tears.

Xiao Ying, Dou and the others were originally talking to Yin Niang in the room, but when they saw Brother Yi burst into tears, they were also a little anxious.Xiao Ying said: "Brother Yi is hungry, quickly let the nurse nurse him."

Yin Niang shook her head with red eyes, and said: "I was fed just now." She touched her son's face flushed from crying, and said: "It's just so small, and he can't talk, and I don't know what's wrong with him! "

In the room, a woman wearing a sapphire-blue aquarium-patterned beanie stood up, stretched her head to look at Brother Yi in Yinniang's arms, and suddenly said: "I see that Brother Yi looks a little bit like someone being raped." Get tired of winning."

This woman is the second wife of the Xiningbo Mansion, and Fengying, the third lady of the Hou's Mansion, married the Xining Bo, so the Xiningbo Mansion and the Hou's Mansion became in-laws. This time, Brother Yi's full moon wine was naturally invited to the Xining Bo's Mansion Several rooms of people.

When the people in the room heard her words, they were taken aback for a moment, and then frowned.Children love to cry, so it's not a strange thing to cry suddenly. On the day when the child was happy, she would rashly say that the child was disgusted, as if she was here to seek bad luck.

Xiao Ying thought even more, this second Mrs. Ouyang came from a small family, she is the most open-mouthed person, and she likes to inquire about the pickling in other people's houses. No matter what comes to her ears, she can make trouble It is well known in the whole city that when people invite wine in their houses, they always refuse to invite her if they can't invite her.Although the Yongninghou Mansion and the Xiningbo Mansion are in-laws, the eldest and the second room of the Xiningbo Mansion are at odds, and they have already separated. Coupled with the temperament of the second Mrs. Ouyang, it is not rude for the Hou Mansion not to invite her. I don't know what Yinniang thought, why she was invited in.

Mrs. Ouyang didn't notice the change in the atmosphere in the room at all, and continued: "You don't know it, the little nephew who was born in my natal family was also like this a while ago, and suddenly he couldn't stop crying. Fortunately, my sister-in-law invited Qinglian Nunnery My teacher came to give the child a peace talisman, and happened to see my nephew, and said, this child is being abused by others, and the ghosts in the underworld are coming to seduce his soul, so he is crying More than that. My sister-in-law gave birth to three daughters to get such a son. He was regarded as a baby bump from birth. Hearing this, it’s okay. The teacher also said that if this technique of disgusting victory is to be successful, it must be under the hood. Put a few little ghosts around the person who practiced the art, and then my sister-in-law found three little ghosts under the bed. My sister-in-law immediately had someone raid the mansion. Guess who was found doing the tricks and harming people, it was my elder brother who gave birth The aunt of the eldest son. When my sister-in-law took people to search the courtyard, the aunt was still at the door and asked the Taoist nun to do it inside..."

Everyone didn't know what expression to use when they heard it. The only one who could spread the story of her natal family's pickling to the outside world was the current one.Everyone in the room wanted not to listen, and they all winked at her, but it didn't work at all, and they couldn't directly cover their ears.

Yin Niang coughed lightly, and said: "Brother Yi, I'm afraid it's just something uncomfortable, it's not like what my sister said..."

Mrs. Ouyang completely ignored other people's reminders, and interrupted again: "Yes, the ghosts are here to seduce the child's soul, of course it's uncomfortable. Ma'am, you'd better get someone to look for it, maybe it's hidden somewhere Brat."

Yin Niang's expression was ugly, she was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Ouyang's words, especially the sentence "hook the child's soul", as if she was cursing the child.Seeing this, Mrs. Dou hurriedly pulled Mrs. Ouyang to sit down, and said: "Okay, sit down quickly, you are the only one talking about the whole room, and leave a little space for us to talk to Yin Niang "He said, picked up the tea on the table and handed it to her: "You have a sip of tea first, this is the Biluochun in the tribute, and you can't drink it at any time." You quickly drank it and covered your mouth.

Yin Niang lowered her head and continued to pat the child on the back, gently coaxing her.

Only then did Mrs. Ouyang realize that the atmosphere was strangely quiet. She looked around, then at Yinniang, and saw that everyone disagreed with her words, so she said in a tone like a dog biting Lu Dongbin: "I'm kind, don't come here. It's time for something to happen, and it's too late to regret it!" As soon as she finished speaking, a maid from outside suddenly rushed in in a panic, shouting as she ran, "Ma'am, ma'am!"

Yinniang thought that something happened, but when she entered the room, she didn't say anything, and stood in the middle of the room trembling, looking at Yinniang in horror.

The owner of the house is having a banquet, and the maid rushed in in a panic, which is very rude.Yin Niang raised her head, glared at the servant girl angrily, and reprimanded: "What's the matter of panic, you want to be punished, don't you?"

The little maid was trembling with fear, but when Yin Niang frightened her, she immediately knelt down on the floor, and something made of black wood suddenly slipped from her sleeve.
