Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

You eat. "

She wanted to get it, but Chai Wu hurriedly grabbed her.

"It's just going to a village in the outskirts of the city, and you're taking the official road. There are so many vendors selling tea and food on the road. Besides, it's only half a day's work. Why bother to bring these things, they don't need it."

Pan Jinlian thought so too, although she hadn't been out much, she had heard that the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous, so she might not be able to go hungry even if she went out of the city, so she gave up.

After dinner, the yard had just started to light up, so Chai Wu took Shuangxi and the other two out through the corner gate, so as to save people from seeing the interrogation when the time came.Pan Jinlian sent the two of them off, and Ying'er walked slowly along the path to her own yard, but suddenly saw a new big girl named Mei Xiang hurried over from the wife of Chai's wife, Chai Li's room, and pulled Looking at Pan Jinlian, she panted and said:

"Young lady, I can find you easily. Madam, First Young Madam, and Second Young Madam are all looking for you, but you have to search all over this yard, and you always come here to hide and relax!"

"What do you want me to do this early in the morning?"

Pan Jinlian was also curious and hurriedly asked.The girl rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"How do we girls know this? The lady will naturally understand when she gets there."

Seeing that she spoke in a hurry, Pan Jinlian was not wordy, so she just took Ying'er and was about to follow.But Mei Xiang hurriedly stopped her and said with a smile:

"The madam specially ordered that only the lady should go alone, so why don't you take this girl with you?"

"Leave me alone? That's fine, Ying'er should also go back and tidy up the yard."

It seemed that it was a secret thing that no one else wanted to know, so Pan Jinlian only asked Ying'er to go back by herself, and told her to just stay there and not run around and find no one, so she followed Mei Xiang to Chai Lee's yard.

From a distance, I saw a lot of people standing outside the yard, they were all served by the wives of the Chai family that I saw on weekdays, but today they were all standing cautiously at the door in twos and threes, so there were so many people but it was quiet.Pan Jinlian couldn't help being startled, but her face was calm and relaxed, and she followed Mei Xiang into the upper room.

Mrs. Chai and Li are still sitting in the center, and the two young wives are standing. Mrs. Chai Lin is holding the girl's arm, clutching the handkerchief in a daze, with tears on her face, while Mrs. Chai is calm and calm. Looking closely, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.Regardless of how they struggled, Pan Jinlian stepped forward to greet Ann, and asked with a smile:

"Madam has been in good health these past few days. I'm getting heavy, so I don't dare to bother you casually, for fear of causing trouble to Madam."

"That's all for gossiping, I just want to ask you, did the second young lady give you a sachet?"

Chai Li raised his eyelids slightly and asked with a half-smile.Pan Jinlian was taken aback, and replied with a smile:

"The second sister-in-law gave me some sachets and medicinal materials. I don't know which one the madam is talking about?"

"It's the peony embroidered brocade sachet. I looked at it that day. I said I wanted to draw a picture and ask the girls to make one for me, but I forgot. Today I suddenly remembered it, and it turned out that it was given to you. That's it." I just asked you to come and ask."

Only then did Pan Jinlian remember that it was the strange sachet given to her by Mrs. Chai Lin in the greenhouse, and she hurriedly replied with a smile:

"It's true that my second sister-in-law gave me one like this. I saw that the workmanship is very expensive, so I didn't dare to wear it casually. I just put it in the box and waited for it to be used on a big occasion. Since Madam said so, I will go get it right away." Come."

Mrs. Chai Li nodded with a smile, called Mei Xiang and said:

"You go with the lady, she is not in good health now, please take care of her and don't slip."

Just as Mei Xiang was about to nod her head in agreement, she heard a commotion outside, and a little gatekeeper girl ran in crying and kowtowed and shouted:

"It's no good Ma'am, Yanhong's old brothers rushed to our yard viciously, still shouting... shouting... shouting to..."

"What do you want?!"

Before Chai Li could speak, Chai Wang had already shouted loudly:

"Say it quickly, you are not so timid!"

"Crying to kill for life!"

Where has the little girl seen such a battle before, she replied tremblingly.Chai Li threw the tureen in his hand to the ground, and said with a sneer:

"Pay for life? Pay for whose life? Can a concubine count as her life? Not to mention the fact that the child died suddenly, even if she was beaten to death, the master's life is not required! Whoever dares to come in, let people take it directly Lock the chain and send it to the yamen!"

Before he finished speaking, he could only hear a woman's yelling outside, and several men in mourning clothes had already rushed to the outer room, but they didn't dare to come in, they just yelled for their lives outside.A middle-aged woman with slender eyebrows and small eyes stepped into the room calmly, Pan Jinlian quietly stepped aside to look at it. This woman also had handfuls of silver hair on her head, and a white cotton coat on her body. Somewhat shrewd.

Several people in the room recognized this woman, and Chai Lin had already said bitterly:

"Back when you saw Yan Hong's corpse, you all recognized it. She herself was unlucky and had nothing to do with our Chai family, so she gave you so much money, but after receiving the money, she turned her face and refused to recognize anyone. Could it be that If you still want to blackmail!"

The woman was not in a hurry, she just said a thousand blessings steadily, and said with a sneer:

"What the Second Young Madam said is that our family has no money and power, and it is her fate to give birth to a girl to be a concubine with no status. We all accept it. If the girl makes a mistake, My wife and young ladies were strangled to death and my family has no complaints. It's just that she was wrong. She was pregnant with the flesh and blood of your Chai family, but she was poisoned to death. This story can't be justified anywhere! Even in the county I am also justified in the Yamen lobby!"

As he said that, he took out a small white cloth bag from his sleeve, opened it, and found a blood-stained sachet inside, which was exactly the same as what Pan Jinlian asked for just now.Pan Jinlian's heart jumped suddenly. She was also dyed from TV novels. Since the sachets came out, there might be the famous musk in there. The reason, why should you catch up with yourself?

Pan Jinlian looked up at Chai Lin, who had already patted the table and shouted:

"Nonsense! The ignorant woman is messing around here. What kind of family is our Chai family, how could you poison a concubine of yours! Besides, since we are concubines, we are like cats and dogs, so why do we use poison? He just caught a wrong person and beat him to death, do you think the money given by the Chai family is too little?"

Yanhong's mother's face was slightly red, but she coughed and said with her eyelids hanging:

"Ma'am, you look down on our poor family too much. Even if we have no money, we didn't exchange our daughter's life. This was my daughter's dream to me the day before yesterday, saying that she died unjustly, and asked me to avenge her. I watched Seeing something strange, she carefully checked the luggage brought back from her room, found the sachet from the mattress, and asked someone to go to the pharmacy to ask, and they said that all the things contained in it were filthy things. If you wear it close to your body, you will encounter accidents..."

"Really, this is nonsense! Why didn't I know there was such a thing? You are a village woman who sells girls for glory, and you don't even know a few big characters. How did you know?"

Chai Wang didn't wait for her to finish, and hurriedly shouted.The corners of the woman's eyes were moist, and she burst into tears:

"I sold my daughter to keep her alive! But I didn't expect to let her die for no reason. My daughter who is suffering, I will give you justice even if my mother dies! "

The woman couldn't make a reason at all, but she just listened to a few words of instigation and made up her mind to make a fuss. Seeing Mrs. Wang's question, she immediately started crying endlessly, and the men in the outer room immediately started beating up when they heard the crying Tables and chairs, shouting for justice.

Seeing her like this, Chai Lin also sobbed, pushed away the girl who was supporting her and knelt down, arguing loudly:

"Everyone in this family, whether it's mother-in-law, sister-in-law, or servants in the family, all know who I am. I persuaded the officials to accept Yanhong as a concubine. She was pregnant and I gave it to her. When I went to Chaoyang’s house, I found three women and maids to wait on them. On weekdays, everything she wanted was cooked in the kitchen. If she didn’t say anything, I also stewed daily supplements and sent them over. These are all from everyone. I saw it with my eyes. The nonsense that our second young master heard from no one knew where I had been fighting with me for half a night. Do I have to bear this injustice today? I swear here, if Yan Hong is really the one who caused me, I will Let me have a terrible death!"

Seeing Chai Lin's attack, the woman immediately howled:

"My miserable daughter, if someone kills you, let him be cut off from his children and grandchildren, with sores growing all over his body, let ghosts haunt him to death in the middle of the night, and let him go to the [-]th level of hell, pull out his tongue and put him in the frying pan!"

Immediately the room started to commotion again, Pan Jinlian gave a sneer smile, and quietly stepped back a few steps, then Mrs. Chai Wang hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Chai Lin up, and said loudly:

"Your brother and sister are so delicate. They are as knowledgeable as her. Don't rush to swear. Let me ask her first."

Then he turned his head to stare at the woman and asked:

"Stop howling, let me ask you, why do you think that this sachet is something from our Chai family, it is our thing, and how do you know that the dirty things in it are put in by my younger siblings? You want me It’s because you wanted to extort money so you took this thing to frame me, I’m not as good-tempered as my siblings, don’t talk about money, just lock me in the yamen and beat the board!”

"Young lady is also a sensible person. If I can't make a reason, how dare I come to your gate?"

The woman wished Chai Wang all blessings, and said it clearly,

"I'm here
