[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

It was Mrs. You's wish to let people from the government come to shame the Ningguo Mansion, but Mrs. Dou took the initiative to let the people from the government come, and Mrs. You felt that something was wrong.After thinking about it, the man said it was Baoshuntian Mansion, but Mrs. Dou said that Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple seemed to have an extra yamen.

Are the more yamen the better?Mrs. You glanced at Third Sister You uncertainly.Mrs. Dou saw her actions, despised Mrs. You in her heart, and also looked at Third Sister You.

This Grandmother You Sangu is only eleven or twelve years old at the most, and she has already started to be the master of Mrs. You, which is really a miracle.

"Please tell Dali Temple what to do, the master of Shuntian Mansion will let my elder sister make the decision." Third Sister You also felt that the extra yamen is not a good thing.

Mrs. Dou chuckled: "Miss You San is young and ignorant. I said this in your sister's mourning hall. We are relatives and I don't care about you. If the old men of Dali Temple listen to it, I'm afraid they will punish you." Disrespect."

Mrs. Dou saw the puzzlement on Third Sister You's face, so she kindly explained to her: "Ningguo Mansion is not a home for ordinary people, it has a title of honor, and your sister also has an imperial order, so please invite Dali Temple It is the right thing for the gentlemen to come forward. The Shuntian Mansion is still out of control of our mansion. Do you understand?"

"But obviously he said..." Third Sister You was still young, hearing that what Mrs. Dou said was different from what the man said, she blurted out and refuted.She was also a little clever, knowing that someone behind her mother and daughter's advice could not be said, so she just uttered two words and swallowed them again.

As if she didn't notice her slip of the tongue, Mrs. Dou picked up the teacup in her hand leisurely, gently swirled the non-existent froth, took a sip, put down the cup, and asked the other wives for tea.

With that appearance, he really concentrated on waiting for the people from Dali Temple to come over.The wives of the Jia family, seeing Mrs. Dou's confident appearance, drank tea together and left You's mother and daughter there.

Mrs. You was a little restless, twisting and turning on the chair, and kept looking at Third Sister You.It's just that there are more than just their mother and daughter in this mourning hall, so they can't discuss it.Third Sister You frowned for a while, then stood up and said to Mrs. Dou: "My wife, I want to go to the toilet." Then she turned to Mrs. You and said, "Mom, go with me, I'm so scared by myself." .”

Mrs. Dou smiled lightly: "There is nothing to be afraid of in this blue sky. Come here and take Miss You San to change." As soon as the words came out, Miss You knew that what she just said was a bit silly, and her face turned red and white.

Mrs. You stood up instead: "This child has never been out of the house, she is timid, I'd better go with her."

Mrs. Dou nodded after listening, there is nothing forbidden, if the two mothers want to talk privately, let them have a good time.When they left the mourning hall, the wives of Jia's family saw Mrs. Dou's fascination, and they all thought that she had made the You family's mother and daughter angry.

This made Mrs. Dou listen to the whole story of the mother and daughter of the You family: the three mothers were really teased by someone, or the kind of teased by someone who doesn't know.Mrs. Dou didn't know whether to praise them for their courage or call them stupid.

They gave 200 taels of silver and asked them to try their best to come to Ningguo Mansion to make You Shi's death a result of Ningguo Mansion's death. They promised to give 800 taels as a dowry to Third Sister You afterward, and Mrs. You agreed.

What's even more unbelievable is that the dowry does not belong to Second Sister You, because the man said that his master, who is wealthy and well-off, fell in love with Second Sister You, and will take Second Sister You into the mansion after the matter is completed, so the money is considered to be given to him. For Second Sister You's dowry, there is no need to prepare a dowry for Second Sister You.

Did Second Sister You know that she let her mother and sister sell it together?Mrs. Dou was a little curious: "Does the second girl also need to change?"

There is nothing wrong with asking this question. Second Sister You came with Mrs. You and Third Sister You. If those two want to change clothes, it is normal for Second Sister You to have the same need.But Second Sister You said that she did not have this need.After finishing speaking, she felt that something was wrong, afraid that Mrs. Dou would think that Mrs. You and Third Sister You were just pretending, so she added another sentence: "When I got up early, I was thinking about my eldest sister's affairs, and I didn't think about eating. I don't need it now. "

Silly girl hello.Mrs. Dou could only give such an evaluation in her heart, so she asked Second Sister You if she was hungry now, and asked for a new snack as soon as possible.After Second Sister You thanked her, she ate two pieces of dim sum with great kindness, and was dragged by Mrs. Dou to talk again.

Mrs. Dou's words were very skillful, but she was just asking why Mrs. You didn't bring their sisters over when her family reported the funeral to You's family last time.Without waiting for Second Sister You to say anything, she asked Second Sister You what she did for her usual pastimes.

Mrs. Dou had already asked these words when she met the Youshi sisters just now, asking again just messed up the order.Second Sister You also answered one by one. Even if there are some differences with the first answer, it doesn't hurt too much.

Then Mrs. Dou asked Second Sister You which relative's house she would go to besides Ningguo Mansion on weekdays, so that she would not break up with Ningguo Mansion just because You Shi was gone.It seems that the first sentence is just passing along, and the point is not to want to break the relationship between relatives.

Second Sister You lowered her head shyly, saying that it would be inconvenient for her to go out in the future, and she would still come to pay Madam Dou's greetings when it was convenient.

Seeing her shy look, Mrs. Dou asked jokingly: "The second girl is engaged, why didn't you tell us, and didn't congratulate the girl. After a while, I will also give the girl a gift for your sister." .”

Second Sister You became even more embarrassed: "It's just a matter of the past few days, I haven't had time yet..."

At this point, Second Sister You couldn't continue, because Mrs. Dou's face had already darkened: "What happened in the past few days? I don't know which day it is, please tell Second Miss."

"It was five days ago." Second Sister You was taken aback by Mrs. Dou's sudden serious face, and said the answer casually.

"Hehe." Mrs. Jia Zhi couldn't listen anymore: "We all know that Grandma Zhen was not born to You's relatives, but I can't say that my sister is from my mother-in-law's family before my sister's bones are cold."

Mrs. You and Third Sister You had just discussed the countermeasures by changing their clothes. As soon as they entered the mourning hall, they heard Mrs. Jia Zhi's sarcastic voice, and their faces turned pale all of a sudden.

Mrs. Dou has already asked Mrs. You: "My wife, just now you suspected that our family killed Jia Zhen's wife, and I thought you really loved this stepdaughter. Who knew that if you didn't go to the funeral with our family's car, it wouldn't be I want to tidy up the things at home, and I want to get married for your own daughter."

Without giving Mrs. You a chance to answer, Mrs. Dou continued: "There is one thing I don't understand. I heard from Jia Zhen's wife that your second daughter had a relationship with Zhang Hua, the son of Zhang's head in Huangzhuang Village, when she was young. There is a marriage contract, why do you have another marriage now? Could it be that your You family has one daughter and two marriages?"

It was Mrs. You's full idea to go around, and the third sister You was very clever, so they didn't know how to answer if they had such a nose and eyes.The two bowed their heads speechless.The matter involved her own life, Second Sister You said anxiously: "My wife, my mother has already given Zhang Hua's father ten taels of silver and divorced him." The reputation of one daughter marrying twice is not good.

Mrs. Dou sneered: "Oh, we have resigned. I don't know where is the resignation document, and just after my sister passed away, she was both engaged and resigned. Why can't I understand? Fortunately, Dali will The masters from the Temple and Shuntian Mansion will come, so I can ask them to give me some advice for an ignorant person."

Old lady You was looking forward to the arrival of people from Shuntian Mansion, but now she is so unwilling to see people from Shuntian Mansion, her knees softened, and she knelt down: "My wife, today is mine, so I shouldn't be afraid." Because your aunt is gone, your mansion wants to break off the relationship with us, and wants to make a fuss so that your mansion can continue to take care of our orphans and widowed mothers. I also ask the wife of my in-laws to leave us a way out for the sake of leaving. "

Mrs. Dou thought about it and gave her a face: "When you said that our family killed people with red mouth and white teeth, did you ever think about leaving a way for our family to survive?"

"How could it be? Everyone has said that the family in your family has a great career, but if you spend some money on favors, you can suppress the matter."

"I'm afraid you haven't heard the saying of pressing people to death under the tongue." Mrs. Dou looked at Mrs. You coldly: "The people from Dali Temple came in a while, and I asked them to open the coffin for an autopsy. I just don't know, your daughter died. If you don't want to be completely dead, will you be grateful to you, the stepmother, for avenging her, or will you blame you for disturbing her quietness. Will you have a good talk with you in the middle of the night when people are quiet. "

People in this world have extremely complete skeletons, and incomplete bones are a heavy curse on people.And the autopsy must be disembowelled.Middle-aged and elderly women of Mrs. You's age believe in the theory of ghosts and gods the most. Mrs. Dou's speech speed is deliberately slowed down. Every word is like knocking on her heart, which makes Mrs. You feel chills on her back, as if Mrs. You Shi's ghost is now looking at her resentfully.

With a groan, Mrs. You lost her mind and passed out all of a sudden.Although Second Sister You and Third Sister You were also scared, they didn't care when they saw their mother was unconscious, they went up to hug and cried and howled.The wives of the Jia family also felt trembling when they heard this, and everyone went to add paper to You's coffin, and no one cared about whether Mrs. You lived or died.

The people from Shuntian Mansion came faster than those from Dali Temple. The person who came was not the governor of Shuntian Mansion, but the Prime Minister of Fu. Madam Dou narrowed her eyes slightly after hearing this, and asked someone to set up a screen, and she herself sat behind.

At this time, Mrs. You had already been woken up by the crying and shaking of her two daughters. When she saw someone from Shuntian Mansion, she was afraid that Mrs. Dou would say that she would not come to the funeral for her stepdaughter but betrothed to her own daughter, and that she would marry her second daughter. , Keep your mouth shut.

Fu Cheng wanted to guide him, but he didn't want Ningguo Mansion to invite people from Dali Temple.The one who came to Dali Temple is a young minister, whose rank is not comparable to that of Fu Cheng, how can Fu Cheng speak for him?

The situation suddenly turned around. Mrs. Dou insisted on having the people in Dali Temple do an autopsy, saying that otherwise she would not be able to return the name of Ningguo Mansion, and Mrs. You even kowtowed to say good things, and only said that she wanted to take advantage of the death, so that she could get more from Ningguo Mansion. A few silver coins.

The Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion wished that he would step forward and cover Mrs. You's mouth. Does this lady know what she is talking about?According to her, even if he wanted to suppress the matter, with people from Dali Temple watching, he would have to be locked up in Shuntian Mansion Prison, okay?

He didn't know that, compared to being locked up in Shuntian Mansion prison for a few days, Mrs. You was more afraid that You Shi would talk to her in the middle of the night. She and You Shi had a face-to-face relationship. Who knew that the stepdaughter would be happy talking to her? , and drag her to the underworld for a while?

Compared with the Shuntian Mansion Prime Minister who knew what was going on behind the scenes, the officials of Dali Temple persuaded him a few words-although Ningguo Mansion has no real power now, it is also the mansion of the Duke, and the death of the head of the house is not complete. Not a show of one's face.

Mrs. Dou was persuaded by the people of Dali Temple, and she "reluctantly" agreed not to have an autopsy, but she also broke off the relationship with the You family in front of the two yamen people. act in the name of.

The mother and daughter of the You family left dejectedly. Mrs. Dou received the wives and wives who came to condolences from Bo Qian here as usual, and then went back to Ningxuan Hall to rest. A relapse of an old disease can no longer be a director.

It's true that she doesn't want to be a director, and it's also true that Mrs. Dou wants to see who the person behind Shuntian Fucheng is.Thinking of such a disgusting way to bring the Ningguo Mansion into submission, Mrs. Dou has made up her mind that even if the person behind him is the emperor, she will meet him for a while.

The matter was not as bad as Mrs. Dou thought. The person behind Shuntian Fucheng was actually the fifth prince. Madam Dou really didn't expect that the fifth prince in the past few generations would also jump around a lot, but his behavior was similar to that of the fourth prince. , that is, relying on the status of her mother and concubine is not low, and her natal family is also considered capable, she is taking the path of coming and going.

In this life, she used tricks behind her back, Mrs. Dou really can't boast that the Fifth Prince has matured.It can only be said that the five princes of those generations are not the focus of Madam Dou's attention. How he behaves is shown to others.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Dou discovered this life, and everyone has to settle some accounts.The sad Jia Zhen was carried to Mrs. Dou's Ningxuan Courtyard again—it was impossible to carry her. Two days ago, in order to make the effect real, Jia Jing beat people mercilessly, and now Jia Zhen can't get down.

But Mrs. Dou couldn't delay what she wanted to do, and Jia Zhen had to come forward for this matter.Jia Zhen, who was hurriedly carried back to Ninglu Hall, was full of grief and indignation, but she didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Dou's wishes, so someone called Xing'er over: "Take some things quietly to your grandma's natal house, and talk to the old lady." Said, let her settle down, and I will take care of her in the future."

Xing'er thought that his uncle had been beaten stupidly: "Master, the old lady is still in Shuntian Mansion." She had just caused trouble in the mansion this morning and was taken away by Shuntian Mansion, how could she be released so easily.

Jia Zhen listened to Mrs. Dou's order at that time, which is also what Xinger thinks now, and she was carried back to the yard after being sprayed, okay?Now that Xing'er actually questioned herself with what she just said, it's strange that Jia Zhen is not angry: "You talkative slave, you can go if you are told. Even if the old lady is not here, there are two girls, so talk to the second girl also."

Xing'er really wanted to ask his uncle, the second girl is like dough, what's the use of giving it to her?No, Xing'er, who has been with Jia Zhen for a long time, rolled her eyes for a moment, and consciously understood what her uncle meant - the second girl is almost graduating this year, and she looks like a beauty. The uncle doesn't want to break up with the You family Woolen cloth.No wonder I let myself go quietly to avoid my wife.

With this thought in mind, Xing'er happily took her things, got into a car, and came to You's house regardless of the night.You's family lives at the junction of Dongcheng and Nancheng. From the outside, the two small courtyards are dark and quiet, as if no one lives there.

Xing'er knew that this was Mrs. You being imprisoned in the Shuntian Mansion, and the two girls were careful to get off the door bolt early. She felt that her uncle had some deep meaning in asking her to come here at this time - the girl was timid, and the uncle sent him here at this time The two girls were not sure how grateful they were.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly found a carriage parked in the alley opposite, and Xing'er's hand stopped.Thinking that there are many people living in this alley, maybe it is someone else's car, so he didn't care, and raised his hand to pat the door knocker.

Immediately, someone inside the door asked who was here, which made Xing'er feel unbelievable: He also often comes to You's house to deliver things, knowing that there are only two or three old servants in You's house. Is your sleep so light that you wake up as soon as you knock on the door?

However, he still reported his name, and even explained that he was sent by Jia Zhen to deliver things to the old lady, and the door was already opened: "Why are you here at this time, little brother?" The one who opened the door was the gatekeeper of You's house old man.

"Our uncle was severely beaten by the master two days ago, and only heard about the old lady. I was afraid that the two girls would be frightened by their young age, so I specially asked me to give the two girls something to calm the shock." Xing'er said Jia Zhen confessed to herself.

The old man was very happy when he heard that: "We also said that my aunt has always been generous and won't really ignore us. Come in quickly, little brother, the girl is not asleep yet."

It made people feel awkward no matter how they heard it, Xing'er had some insight, kept the awkwardness in his heart, and followed the old man to the backyard.After entering the second door, I found that the lights inside were all on, and there were three shadows reflected on the window. They seemed to be head-to-head, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Xing'er had already heard a male voice whispering, and felt even more uncomfortable.When he was trying to persuade himself that he was not so particular about his small family, the old man had already told a woman: "Quickly report to the two girls, and say that my aunt has sent someone."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reported in, there was a curse from Third Sister You: "Buried people to death in front of the official, what kind of work are you doing now? Hurry up and beat me out with a stick, the two families have already died. Broken marriage, now they are trespassing on private houses, let's go to Shuntian Mansion to sue them."

If it wasn't for Jia Zhen's bad temper, Xing'er would have dropped the things and left.Even now his face was flushed with anger, and he said to the old man: "It seems that the girl doesn't want to see the people in our house anymore, please pass on the things."

There was another male voice speaking in a low voice in the room, Second Sister You's voice came out again: "Call in." The mother-in-law came out and called Xing'er to come in.

Xing'er only charged a thousand when he entered the door, but took a closer look at the man. He was in his thirties, with three beards on his fair face, and he looked gentle.She is wearing poplin straight embroidered clothes, and there are two jade pendants on her belt, the color of which cannot be seen under the lamp.Xing'er's sharp eyes saw that the man's boots belonged to Fu Rui Zhuang, so he knew that the price of his jade pendant was not cheap.

Such a National People's Congress sits with the two girls from You's family at night, and when Mrs. You is not at home, Xing'er can't help but feel wronged. thinking.So before Second Sister You called him up, he had already stood up straight.

Third Sister You was still furious, but Second Sister You said, "Why are you here so late at night?"

Xing'er repeated what he said to the old man, and also expressed Jia Zhen's meaning that he would take care of You's family in the future.

The man suddenly asked: "Your uncle sent you here, do your masters and wives know?"

After hearing this, Xing'er only looked at Second Sister You and said nothing. It was obvious that he didn't know this person.

I don't know if it was illuminated by the light, Second Sister You's face was pink and her cheeks were full, she glanced at the man and said: "This is Mr. Gu's family. He came to greet us when we heard that something happened in our house." Where does the uncle come from?

In the past few days, Xing'er followed Jia Zhen to greet the guests who mourned the Marquis, and received Gu Shilang from the Ministry of Rites. He heard that this man was also surnamed Gu, so he took a closer look, but he didn't see any resemblance to Gu Shilang.

This also made him more thoughtful, and his reply became vague: "Our uncle is still in trouble, so he sent the younger one here at this time."

Uncle Gu just smiled and didn't ask any other questions.Second Sister You made up for what Third Sister You said just now, and told Xing'er to put down her things and go back.When Xing'er returned to the mansion to answer Jia Zhen, he added some oil and vinegar, and both inside and outside the words meant to persuade Jia Zhen not to worry about Second Sister You.

Jia Zhen was tired of listening to the crooked words, so she vented her anger by cursing a few words, and then asked Xing'er to go to the second door to ask his wife if she had slept. If she hadn't slept, he had to go and answer her in person.

When the mother-in-law went to ask, Mrs. Dou was already lying on the bed. Knowing that the You family had indeed gone, and her surname was still Gu, she was a little uncertain: Gu Shilang belonged to the third prince, and Shuntian Fucheng was the fifth prince. The prince's people, how did the people from these two places get mixed up?

Soldiers will block it.Now others want to get things from Ningguo Mansion, so naturally one by one will show up slowly, with Jia Jing and Jia Zhen standing in front of them, even if there are more scheming people, Madam Dou can also slowly plan behind her.

It's useless for her to think about it any more. When Youshi woke up, the disciples of the third, fourth, and fifth princes from previous generations, as well as the loyalists of Prince Yizhong, all came to offer sacrifices, which made Youshi's funeral special. The scenery became lively.

"Rong'er is still young, let him come back after sending off his soul, and he doesn't have to live in Tiekan Temple." Mrs. Dou told Jia Zhen, not caring that Jia Zhen was the one who couldn't get down.

Jia Zhen, who was in unspeakable suffering, asked someone to send Jia Rong back that night, while she herself had to look at the matter of sending spirits and chanting scriptures.After finally staying up until night and wanting to rest, Xing'er came in a little unhappy and reported: "Master, that Mr. Gu family wants to see Mr.."
