Continue to write the dream of red mansions with the routine of house fighting

It is said that Mrs. Wang is arranging people to go around to inspect, and suddenly she saw the Xue family's mother-in-law rushing over to say that something happened to the Xue family, and the bluffing Mrs. Wang threw away the head and rushed to Xue's house.

Before going out of the corner gate, I heard crying and cursing in the courtyard over there, and when I turned into the courtyard, I saw a woman with sunken eyes, protruding cheekbones and thin lips, sitting on the ground with disheveled hair, kicking her legs. Howling like meat, Mrs. Xue hurriedly told Mrs. Wang that this was Mrs. Xia.Seeing Mrs. Wang coming in, the member of the Xia family cried more and more. He beat his chest desperately and let go of his throat, crying and cursing: "My son, open your eyes and look at mother! You died in vain today. In his family, Mother vows to avenge you!" There were several Xia family wives and sisters with her, some of them were pulling or some were persuading.

Mrs. Wang saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so she ignored her and went to Aunt Xue's main room.I saw Aunt Xue flushed with anger and sitting on the grand teacher's chair with red sandalwood carved longevity patterns, Baochai stood aside holding Aunt Xue's hand, although her eyes were full of worry, there was no trace of panic on her face, she was still dignified and self-possessed, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but praised in her heart.

Aunt Xue is usually the most thoughtless person, but now that something big happened at home, she was already frightened and softened.Now that Mrs. Wang is here, she is relieved, she shed tears and said, "My good sister, you are here." Tears fell like rain before saying a word.Baochai was busy comforting her. When Mrs. Wang asked what was the matter, Aunt Xue couldn't make a sound, so she asked Baochai again. Only then did she know that it was Baochan who came to report that Xia Jingui had died somehow. But Xia Jingui's eyes were protruding, her lips were bruised, her mouth was full of blood foam, her fingernails were bruised, and she was digging fiercely at the side of the bed. It was obvious that her death was extremely unstable, which only changed the expressions of the two of them. , hurriedly asked someone to go to Xia's house to invite in-laws to come and discuss.The wife of the Xia family is just such a daughter, who loves her like a treasure, and is extremely doting. Today, she heard the news of her daughter's death, thinking that her daughter died within a year after marrying into the Xue family, how could she swallow such anger?Therefore, dozens of clansmen were gathered to make trouble, and they had to search and report to the officials. The trouble was so great that Aunt Xue's old illness relapsed, and Baochai was a girl's family, so it was not easy to intervene in the affairs of Xue Pan's room. , and then invited Mrs. Wang over.

Mrs. Wang also felt that the situation was complicated and difficult to deal with.Xue Baochai knew that Mrs. Wang was not a director. Seeing the sad look on her face, she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I wonder if Sister Feng is better?" come over.Seeing that she had a backbone, Aunt Xue gradually felt at ease.Mrs. Wang comforted her a few more words.The two sisters were talking, when they suddenly saw Mrs. Xia swept in like a gust of wind, and said harshly to Aunt Xue: "My wife, my good daughter is given to your family, and a good one will be born in less than a year." You died here so inexplicably, no matter what, you have to give us an explanation today."

It turned out that the Xia family had been quarreling outside for a long time, but when she turned around, she saw that the faces of the sisters-in-law who accompanied her were gloating. Mrs. Xia was a young widow who had only one daughter, Xia Jingui, and everyone in the clan forced her to marry her. She established an heir early, but she didn't want to, and when it was mentioned, she shirked it in every possible way, and instead used all her family wealth as a dowry to ask the only daughter to take her out with her. Therefore, all those in the clan who are eager to get rich from the family do not hate her. Now that Xia Jingui is dead, Mrs. Xia made a wedding dress for Xue's family instead of busying herself. How can there be any reason not to laugh at jokes?That Mrs. Xia is usually the most aggressive, but today they made them laugh like this, she was so dizzy with anger, and she made a fuss here for a long time, the Xue family didn't pay attention to her, and she herself felt bored Then he got up, wiped off the dirt on his body, and followed Mrs. Wang into Aunt Xue's main room.

When Aunt Xue saw her coming, she quickly winked and told Baochai to avoid her. Baochai took Yinger, Wenxing and her two to the inner room.Only then did Mrs. Wang say outside: "It's really interesting what my wife said. Could it be that our concubine harmed your girl? Our concubine didn't blame your girl for not cultivating virtue and disturbing the whole family. It's good. You Go out and find out by yourself, what is the reputation of your daughter of the Xia family? If your girl is tolerant, how did you end up like this!" Mrs. Xia became even more angry when she heard this, pointing at Aunt Xue and scolding: "My girl But whoever is intolerant, can't ask my uncle to keep all the dowry girls in the room. I just don't know what the rules are in this house, let the bitch instigate the uncle to be useless, not to get close to the serious grandma, but to those outside Fantou Wang Bale. I just let those whores bully my son. The young couple who had a good fight beat and scolded day and night, and now they have thrown my uncle into prison! I came today to ask for an explanation and you still suppressed me with force People, put a shit bowl on my girl's forehead instead, and bully her, and she won't be able to speak after death!" Thinking of Xia Jingui's miserable death, he burst into tears again.

When they were making trouble, they saw Jia Lian and his wife leading many housekeepers and women in. The Xia family did not avoid Jia Lian when he saw Jia Lian, but still sat there loudly.Jia Lian was embarrassed, so she went outside to help Xue Biao.

Here Sister Feng persuaded Mrs. Xia's family when she saw that she was crying inappropriately: "It's inevitable that the wife in-law will be sad when she loses her daughter. This is normal, but what is going on in this matter should be investigated first, Xue Jiabiao If my sister-in-law is really wronged, my aunt can't just look at it in vain, so naturally I can't let those evildoers go. The in-laws only care about making trouble like this, if the deceased who is disturbed by spirits is disturbed, what good will it do my sister-in-law?" Xia Shi heard from Wang Xifeng. What she said made sense, and seeing that she had brought many people here, she was terrified, and didn't dare to say anything, just covered her face and wept.Sister Feng asked the maids to wait on Mrs. Xia to go to the wing to wash and make up, and she asked Zhou Rui's family to take care of all the maids and women who served Jingui.

Aunt Xue saw that everything was safe, so she pulled Sister Feng to sit beside her, and seeing her sallow face, she said distressedly: "I'm sorry for you, you know I'm worthless, your little sister Bao If you don't care about these things, you will be troubled by us in your illness." Sister Feng laughed and said, "My aunt's words are outrageous. Our wife often tells us that the aunt's place is the same as ours. Relatives, let alone such a major event, we should take care of each other even if there is nothing wrong." Aunt Xue felt a little relieved when she heard this, and hurriedly asked what should be done about this matter?Sister Feng's temperament is to take care of some things, if she had come up with tens of thousands of ideas in the past and told Aunt Xue, but she has been in bad health for the past few days, and she has gone through many things, her heart has long since become gray, and Mrs. Kuang Wang is also there. , she didn't dare to be good at it, so she just waited on the sidelines and refused to make a sound.

Mrs. Wang is also worried. Although she has lived in the inner house for a long time, the rules of the Jia family are strict, and she has Sister Feng to help her. Usually, it is just a matter of needles and needles. How has she ever been involved in a life lawsuit?Naturally, there is no way at this time, so I have to ask Sister Feng first.When Sister Feng asked, she smiled and said, "I have never dealt with such a thing. I just heard from the second master that this lawsuit is nothing more than money and power. If you have power and money, you don't have to be afraid in the world. If you have no rights and no money, then no matter how reasonable you are, you can only talk to King Yama. Now, in this matter, it is only up to Auntie whether she wants to be public or private." Aunt Xue asked again: "What if it is public or private? "Sister Feng said: "If you want to go public, you will have to go to the Yamen to beat the drums and file a complaint, and invite all the criminals to come over and investigate carefully. San Cao will catch the real culprit in the case. If you want to be private, it is nothing more than a matter of money. As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts. If you want me to say, although this matter is not big, it is a private matter in the inner house. It is not good for outsiders to know It would be better if my aunt gave some money to the Xia family." Aunt Xue also felt that this was reasonable, besides, Xue Pan had a criminal record, so if he alarmed the government, even though he was protected by his relatives, it would be better to have one thing more than one thing less. It's best to keep it private, and I made up my mind, so I asked Tong Xi to invite Mrs. Xia.

When Mrs. Xia heard that Aunt Xue wanted to make up another 5000 taels of silver in addition to returning the dowry, she only wanted to beg for the two families. She only thought that the Xue family was in the wrong, twisted her neck, turned her nostrils, jumped up, stared and waved her hands Said: "Bah! Your Xue family thinks that we are the ones who sell their daughters for glory? Today my daughter died here, and you wanted to send my mother away with just 5000 taels of silver? My mother told you that is impossible! Today's matter It must be checked for nothing! My daughter must not die in vain!"

Aunt Xue had never seen such a rascal before, and she was stunned for a moment, and the Xia family howled even more: "My poor sister Gui!" While crying, she made a gesture of bumping into the pillar.Everyone rushed to stop her, and even Zhou Rui's family and a few thick women made her stagger. Mrs. Xia was even more proud to see everyone stop her, she sat on the ground, kicked her feet and howled, "Who doesn't know?" Your Xue family is rich and has good relatives to rely on, and those who were struck by lightning took advantage of their power to bully our orphans and widowed mothers! God, you should also earn money! Let the thunder come down and kill all the traitors who killed my daughter !"

Aunt Xue patted her thigh angrily and shouted: "Come on! Come on! Come on! If you want to sue the officials, we will let you do the same. I think about the reputation of our two families, and I don't want to cause trouble, but you Didn’t you come to send me! How can there be such a reason in the world?” Then he pointed to a woman standing by the door and said, “Go outside to find your second master, ask him to beat the drums, hand over the certificate, and sue Officer! Can you still make her turn upside down?" Wang Xifeng knew that once these things were reported to the officials, it would be difficult to deal with them. When she wanted to persuade her, she looked at Mrs. Wang's face and swallowed her words.Baochai was worried about the empty room inside, and dared not come out.Seeing Aunt Xue's anger, the servants and maids all fell silent, except that Mrs. Xia was still sitting on the ground and crying loudly.
