Chapter 22 death of an old lady

Since entering the twelfth lunar month, Du Yunqing has suffered from a problem: she loves to feel sleepy and often drowsy.After a while, whether sitting or standing, whether you have something to do or not, you will feel sleepy at every turn.Struggling, shaking his head and blinking, trying to hold on, how can it be?After struggling a few times, I was already crooked and confused. Du Yunqing repeatedly told Du Mu to wake her up quickly when she saw that she was in a daze.But Du Mu and the maids tried all kinds of methods, but it was still difficult to wake her up.Every time, I had to carry her to the kang bed and let her sleep.This sleep, I don't know when it will be.

What especially annoyed Du Yunqing was that she became confused and often couldn't even take a bath.On the way into the city, I like to get confused in the car, falling over and unable to wake up.In such a situation, Du Mu had no choice but to ask the driver to transfer the animal spirit and return to Kangzhuang as soon as possible.Sleeping like this, I can't wake up screaming, and I can't take a bath in Huaqing Pool.Sometimes, struggling not to get confused on the road, I have to fall asleep in the bath.This can really piss her off!Being the old lady of the Kang family, only going to the city to take a bath is a little bit of fun, but it's too much to bear?

In order not to get sleepy, Du Yunqing drank strong tea and learned to snuff snuff, but it didn't work.She finally found a slightly more effective method: trying to starve herself.People are tired after meals and restless when they are hungry.Then starve you, see if you are still confused!Especially when you go to the city to take a bath, you will not eat enough the first day, and you will not eat more rice the next day.It's really confusing to drive into the city like this.Just taking a bath on an empty stomach, apart from feeling weak and powerless, is actually not much fun. Sudden feeling sleepy like this, is it because of some disease, or because I am getting old?

Over the years, this strange disease has become more and more severe.The first month is still freezing cold, but it seems to be trapped in a deep spring sleepiness.Apart from being confused, she didn't seem to have any other discomfort, unlike being sick.Only the feeling of old age is felt all the time.She has been an old lady for the Kang family for more than ten years, and she is indeed a very old lady.It's just that her age can't be considered old: she's only thirty-three years old. It is said that after getting old, you will feel less at night and be confused during the day.Compared with old things, she is really not old.The old thing is strong and unfailing, able to eat and sleep, so she has an old face first?

The old man saw that she was so sleepy, so he didn't pretend to be ignorant like before. He came over a few times and greeted her attentively: Did you not sleep well at night?Have a nightmare?Is the diet too plain?Still have something on your mind?The current situation is like this, and there is no need to be too tortured, just let fate. She was sleepy day and night, wanted insomnia but couldn't get it, didn't have dreams, and didn't eat or drink well. Even if there were infinite thoughts on her mind, she couldn't think about it anymore: it didn't take long for her to think about things, and she was still confused, and she was tortured again. I have to let go of my worries.But facing the old man's gracious greetings, she didn't say much, just said: "If you're sleepy, just sleep, it's not uncomfortable."

Since the beginning of winter, Kang Hu Nanzhen moved back to live in this palace-like main house in the backyard.After living alone for many years, his sudden arrival made Du Yunqing terrified for a few days.Fortunately, he only came to say a few words during the day and didn't bother her at night.He lives in the east, she lives in the west, there are several rooms between them, and they are relatively safe.It's just that there are more servants, and the fire on the kang couch in this cold palace is much warmer than in previous years. He moved here just to show: the old lady is no longer indifferent to her?

Just leave it alone, I'm used to living in the cold!Now, I should also be neglected. I have already committed crimes, and I have already pierced the majestic sky of your Kang family!You are respected like a god, but you have not noticed it so far?I do not believe.I can't believe it anymore!You must have known it, and pretended not to know it.You are a god with a great reputation, how could you endure such humiliation!Haha, are you pretending to be confused?This winter, you suddenly moved here, just to pretend to be confused?You want everyone to believe that nothing happened, the old man did not neglect the old lady, how could such a thing happen!If you pretend to be confused like this, how can you be furious in your heart!Haha, I just want to make you furious, but I don't want to make you suffer.You should show your rage, quickly depose me, this wicked old lady, and let everyone in the world know the humiliation you have suffered...

It's just that Du Yunqing felt very tired in his heart when he was excited like this, and his head was also swollen, and he couldn't stop being confused again.Therefore, she is not able to think deeply. When her spirit was a little better, Du Yunqing would also doubt: Can the old man really pretend to be so invisible?Did he know it? Before the first lunar month, Kang Hunan invited a famous doctor from the city.This old man surnamed Tan often came to Kang's house for outpatient visits, and everyone called him Mr. Tan.First of all, it is the abbreviation of "Mr." by the villagers, which sounds like "immortal".That's what doctors call it.

It's just that Tan Xian has never seen a doctor for the old lady.In the past, Du Yunqing never had a serious illness. Occasionally, she would have a headache, and would like to call Mrs. Laihoude from the Congregational Church for treatment.Now that she has such a strange disease, she thinks of Mrs. Lehoud a few times, but where else can she look for it?I feel that the world is impermanent, and I feel a lot of sadness. The Kang family was considered open-minded, and doctors did not have many taboos when they came to treat female relatives.Therefore, Du Yunqing was able to face Tan Xian.She saw Mr. Tan as a kind elder.He closed his eyes, checked his pulse carefully, asked about his diet and daily life, and said: "There is nothing serious about it, it's just deficiency of yin and hyperactivity of fire. First, take a few doses of medicine to recuperate."

Influenced by his father and Mrs. Laihoude, Du Yunqing was not convinced by the old Chinese medicine doctor.However, Tan first diagnosed her as having no serious problems, and it was pleasant to hear that. During Tan Xian's diagnosis and treatment, Kang Hunan sat by his side all the time.Hearing that there is no serious problem, he took a long breath and asked again: "Is there really no serious problem?" Du Yunqing rarely enjoyed Kang Hunan's concern, so she was surprised and suspicious.Did he show it to Tan Xian, or did he have other intentions? After drinking the four or five doses of medicine prescribed by Tan Xian, Du Yunqing's lethargy didn't improve, on the contrary, it seemed to be getting worse.Kang Hunan urged Tan to come again, but Du Yunqing refused.She said: "How can it be so fast, drink a few more doses, it will always be effective." But she thought in her heart:

It's good to be sleepy like this! When you fall asleep, you don't have to think about anything.Those who can't figure it out, those who are suspicious, those who are sad and sad, and those who have been depressed for a long time can be thrown aside and ignored.Wouldn't it be better to be able to fall asleep like this and never wake up! But not long after, Kang Hunan invited Tan Xian over.Tan Xian took his pulse, contemplated for a moment, and still made a diagnosis: no serious problem, add or subtract a few medicines, take some time to see. A large bowl of decoction was taken every morning and evening, and after taking it for another four or five days, there was still not much change.However, Du Yunqing said: "It has improved a little. Although the drowsiness is still there, but when sleepy, the mind is not very swollen." She said this, but she didn't want to invite Tan to come first. After Tan Xian came twice, the whole family knew that she was ill, and they seemed to think she was seriously ill.Second Master, Fourth Master, and Sixth Master came to visit her one after another, and they all had serious expressions on their faces.Especially fourth master, his face was even heavier, he ran frequently, and came to greet him almost every day.The housekeeper, Lao Xia, also runs frequently, coming more than once a day.There are also aunts, second mothers, third mothers, fourth mothers and daughter-in-laws who have also been here. Du Yunqing didn't like being promoted like this: I didn't see her before, but seeing that the old man has changed, you have changed too!Who cares about this set.Besides, she wasn't sick enough to die. The old thing deliberately mobilizes the crowd in this way, clearly doing it for everyone to see.But is he really doing this to cover up his ugliness?He just pretended to be so steady, so that he couldn't show any anger? Du Yunqing couldn't believe it more and more. Now, the one person she wants to see the most is Lu Bu who served her before. After Sanxi disappeared last year, Lu Bu's behavior was quite abnormal.He used to be so capable and agile, but suddenly became demented, often in a daze, and would not respond to a few calls.When asked what happened, she always said in a panic: the pain of losing her father was hard to recover for a while. At that time, Du Yunqing was only thinking about Sanxi, and didn't pay much attention to Lu Bu.I just think that it is human nature to experience a great funeral and suffer physical and mental setbacks. When Kang Hu returned from his south-south tour, Du Mu was transferred, and Lu Bu was transferred to take care of Wu Niang's orphaned daughter, but Du Yunqing didn't pay much attention.Du Mu moved away because the old man brought back a charming female cook from Jiangnan.It seems reasonable to give Lu Bu to take care of the unfortunate fifth master's daughter, showing the old master's care and affection. However, not long after Lu Bu arrived at Fifth Master's side, he was quietly dismissed.Du Yunqing didn't think of going to see Lu Bu until the twelfth lunar month. But when he arrived at Wuye's courtyard, he was told that Lu Bu was long gone.Where did it go?Sent away early, the old lady still doesn't know? Du Yunqing was not angry when she heard this, but suddenly realized that this was driving Lu Bu away!That thing finally came to light?How could a maid like Lu Bu who had served the old man up close for no reason be quietly driven away?Lu Bu has served her for many years, and he didn't say anything when he left?There is no doubt that that incident was brought to light, and Lu Bu was implicated! Du Yunqing has been waiting for this day.In her imagination, once that incident was revealed, the Kang family would definitely set off a shocking storm: the old man was furious, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation. Of course, she, a whore, could not escape her death... But the situation was not like this: Lu Bu had been kicked out. After walking for many days, the Kang family remained calm as usual.Especially the old stuff, there is nothing unusual these days! That day, Du Yunqing came out of Wu Ye's house and went straight to see Steward Xia.He was not polite when we met, and asked right away: "Lu Bu has served the old man and me for many years, how can I just send it away? Even if it should be dismissed, you have to say it? Whoever I am used to, you will drive away who? How can I offend you Xia? Are you grown up?" Lao Xia hurriedly lost her smile and said: "The old lady said that, she wants to drive me away..." "You old Xia holds great power, and I live in your hands!" "The old lady is so grand, why exactly?" "Tell me, why did you drive Lu Bu away?" "Old Madam, it's not that we drove her away, it's that she wanted to leave with all her heart and couldn't be stopped." "Why does she want to leave?" "It's a big burden on the family. I have been serving the old lady here for many years. It is not easy to get out, and I can't manage the house. A small family, without a woman for many years, the family is no longer a family, and I am very distressed. I finally got out of the old people's home this year. If she can get away, she just wants to go back to her hometown to take care of her family." "Then don't say a word?" "Lv Bu was afraid that the old lady would keep him, so he couldn't refuse, so he didn't dare to say goodbye to the old man. According to the usual practice, Lu Bu has reached the age where his hands and feet are not flexible enough, so he should be released." Asking again, it was just similar words, as if nothing happened, Lu Bu just let it out normally.How else could Du Yunqing force her to ask?Is that still unnoticed? But after she came back and thought about it, she still felt that Lu Bu's release was too suspicious.So, she wanted to visit Lu Bu privately.After meeting Lu Bu, you will probably be able to understand the details. However, Du Yunqing went to look for it several times, but he never saw Lu Bu.For the first time, the driver lost his way and drove the car to another village!A few times later, although I found Lu Bu's house, he was never there: either he left his relatives, or he went to the city to go to the market.On the fixed day, I ran away, but the person was still not there.It's so abnormal, it's obviously a ghost.Either Lu Bu couldn't come out of hiding, or they didn't allow Lu Bu to come out! Du Yunqing pretended to be angry and yelled that she never wanted to see Lu Bu again.After a long time, pretending to have forgotten about it, she suddenly made a motion and arrived unexpectedly.Strangely, Lu Bu still couldn't see her face: the family said she had returned to her mother's house again!After a year of tossing and fighting, Lu Bu was never seen. Now that she has such a strange disease, it is obviously impossible to visit her any more.But she was already a little suspicious: Although the incident had been revealed, they kept it from the old man!If so, it would be terrible: she herself was stained with sin for nothing, but she didn't hurt a single hair of the old thing!Could God be so unfair? Therefore, Du Yunqing especially wanted to meet Lu Bu.When they met, Lu Bu didn't say anything, and she believed she could see a general idea.They prevented Lu Bu from showing up in this way, and they could see a general idea. In the Kang family, there were not many people who dared to hide the truth from the old man, and were able to hide it from the old man.The third and fourth masters who are newly in charge of the family, encountered such a scandal, of course they also wanted to hide it from the old man.But who can they hide such a shameful incident in their hearts? Can you not show a trace on your face like that?The third master has a bad temper, and with such a thing in his heart, it should have exploded long ago.But this year, when Sanye Fan came to see her, apart from being courteous, he seemed to be more kind, even warm.Fourth master is even more kind-hearted. After knowing such things, would he still be as humble as usual? The only ones who dared to lie to the old man quietly were the two old servants, Lao Xia and Lao Ting.They are the ones who are the best at putting on a superficial smile!Once the old thing is furious, he will inevitably vent his anger on these two old servants.But among the two old slaves, the one who dared to do this thing the most, and was able to accomplish it the most, was the cold old Ting.If he sticks to the old thing, it is really impossible to insert a needle or splash water!Lao Xia is sleek, but he's not that bold, is he?He knew the truth, even if Lao Ting stopped him, he might not be able to tell the truth. Du Yunqing suddenly came up with a new idea, begging fourth master once: she is so ill, she can't help but miss some old people.Lu Bu has served her for many years, and he misses her very much recently, can he find her and meet her?From fourth master's response, we can also see some signs, right? On this day, the fourth master came to greet her again, and she said, "He, fourth master, you also know some medicine. What is wrong with me? It won't get better!" The fourth master hurriedly said: "Old lady, don't worry too much. Tan Xian is a famous doctor, if he says it's not a problem, then it's not a problem." "I always say it's okay, but it's not good!" "Some minor ailments are not easy to take care of. You have to work slowly and don't worry." "His fourth master, you also take my pulse to see where the problem is?" "Old madam, how can I compare with Tan Xian? I can only scratch the surface of a doctor..." "A famous doctor is not a famous doctor. I still can't trust Tan Xian! His fourth master, give me my pulse and see if Tan Xian is right." "Only my name is not allowed, how can Tan Xian not be allowed?" "Gods make mistakes too, not to mention that old gentleman! His fourth master, I can trust you." Fourth master couldn't shirk it, so he had to call the old lady's pulse.After finishing the call, he pondered for a moment and said: "Tan Xian is right, the old lady is fine, just calm down and recuperate." Du Yunqing smiled and said: "Since his fourth master said so, I am more at ease. When people are sick, they like to think wildly. When I wake up recently, I can't help but think about some old people. Alas, I am also in Taigu. People who are not too close, the one person I often think about these days is Lu Bu, who served me before. She has been with me for many years, and she is close to the family. His fourth master, I beg you for something, I don’t know..." Fourth master hurriedly said: "Old madam, just give orders!" "Can you ask someone to bring Lu Bu here and meet me?" "Don't worry, old lady, it's easy to do." "His fourth master, I'm really relieved when you say that. I mentioned this matter to Lao Xia several times, but he failed. It’s like a holiday, maybe he doesn’t want to call Lu Bu over? His fourth master, if you want to fulfill me, don’t disturb Lao Xia, just send someone quietly and call Lu Bu here.” Fourth Master said obediently: "Then follow the old lady's orders." Fourth Master's response satisfied Du Yunqing very much, and it also made her believe that Fourth Master might really know nothing.After talking about Lu Bu for a long time, Fourth Master didn't look unusual at all. After the fourth master left, Du Yunqing really had some hope: after all, the fourth master is in charge of housekeeping, maybe he can really call Lu Bu? However, three days later, the fourth master came in and reported, "Lu Bu was sent to Tianjin to serve his fifth master." "When was it sent?" "Have you gone early? The current situation in Tianjin is too chaotic, and there are too few people at Fifth Master's place. Lu Bu went to Tianjin, and her man also went with her to work as a male servant." Lu Bu was sent to Tianjin?Why didn't you say it before?Going to Tianjin to serve the fifth master, there is no need to dodge it, right?Today I said that I lived with my natal family, and tomorrow I said that I went to the city to go to the market. What is that for? Fourth master's reply made Du Yunqing even more suspicious.But she didn't make it difficult for fourth master anymore.She also saw it: fourth master was also hiding it. It is true that Lu Bu was sent to Tianjin.It's just that it didn't take long to be sent. Lu Bu was dismissed and threatened not to talk about the Kang family's affairs, and not to see the old lady again. Of course, this was all handled by the housekeeper, Lao Xia.In order to frighten Lu Bu, Lao Xia also gave her some money.Now, Lao Xia is even more threatening to the coachman who is driving the old lady's car. If there is any movement, he has to report it in time.Therefore, it's not surprising that Du Yunqing's search for Lv Bu was always in vain.When the old lady came unexpectedly, Lu Bu couldn't hide, and his family members came forward to deal with it. Even so, this out-of-the-ordinary old lady still terrified Lao Xia.That damned Sanxi had already been sent away far away.Only this well-informed Lu Bu is left. What is the reason for the old lady's insistence on meeting?Lao Xia really has no idea. Fortunately, word came from Tianjin in the twelfth lunar month of last year that Crazy Fifth Master needed manpower on his side.Especially with Mrs. Yu who went to wait on her, she hadn't traveled far.It's a good trip this time, it's been a year and a half, and it's still far away.So weeping and crying all day long, I just want to quit my job and go home.Lao Xia thought about it, serving the servants of Crazy Fifth Master in Tianjin, it is inconvenient to follow the rules of foreign companies, and it takes three years to come back from get off work.After being sleepy for a long time, they still have the heart to serve the Lord's family!So I told the fourth master that those who serve the fifth master in Tianjin, regardless of martial arts masters, male servants, and maids, will be discounted by half every three years, that is, they will be rotated every year and a half.Even if anyone is always there, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make troubles. Fourth master said again and again: "Very good, very good, just do as you said, Lao Xia." But when Lu Bu was sent to Tianjin, Lao Xia didn't tell Fourth Master. He sent Lu Bu far to Tianjin, of course to deal with Du Yunqing.As for Lu Bu, after being dismissed by Lao Xia, he not only lost a considerable amount of income, but was also often frightened, and his life plummeted.So when she was asked to return to work, of course she would.At that time Tianjin was still in the hands of foreigners, but it had become somewhat stable.Even during the chaos, Wu Ye was not robbed.In order to win Lu Bu over, Lao Xia asked her to bring a man to serve Fifth Master.So in the twelfth lunar month, Lu Bu and his wife quietly went to Tianjin with several other male servants. Now that the old lady actually entrusted Fourth Master to see Lu Bu, Lao Xia was lucky to have made an early move!If Lu Bu hadn't been sent to Tianjin earlier, there might have been some troubles.Especially at times like this! A few days into the twelfth lunar month, Lao Ting told him quietly: "The old lady is sick." He hurriedly asked, "What disease?" Lao Ting said coldly, "It's still that old disease." After Lao Xia heard this, his heart skipped a beat: Is that woman finally going to the end?Ever since he asked a painter to paint her a portrait last year, he knew that this day would come soon, but he never expected it to come so soon. He didn't say anything more, and Lao Ting didn't say anything more, and left quietly. Only Lao Xia understands the meaning and weight of Lao Ting's "old illness".So he couldn't help but be surprised, because this matter is no small matter!However, he had been looking forward to this day.When the woman came to the end, he didn't have to be so frightened.That woman committed a great crime, and she should have been "senilely ill" long ago. Knowing this important news, Lao Xia suddenly understood: last winter, the old man suddenly moved back to the main room in the backyard to live with the old lady, so it was for this move!The old man has not lived in the main house for many years, and he insisted on moving there after winter last year.Lao Xia also persuaded that if you want to move, you can't wait until the New Year is over, after the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming?This winter is so cold, moving into a big house, looking for suffering?At that time, the old man lowered his face and said: "I knew you guys wanted to be lazy! If I don't go over, the old lady lives in the main house, and she didn't care to burn the kang cage, trying to freeze her to death?" Lao Xia hadn't seen the old man talk to him like this before, so he was really shocked at that time, and didn't dare to say anything more.Looking back now, the old man had other deep meanings. That being the case, I hope all goes well. Now that this extraordinary situation has come true, there is no delay in what Lao Xia should do: the Kang family will organize another luxurious and grand funeral.At the latest, this funeral will not happen in March. It's just that it's too abrupt to open up the coffin, shroud, and cemetery now.And the coffin is ready-made.In the early years, a pair of birthday materials had been prepared for the old man.The material is not very expensive, just ordinary cypress.Because the old man has strict instructions: he does not want expensive life materials.The birthday cake prepared for him more than ten years ago was also made of cypress wood.The old man gave up the birthday suit to the old lady who left first.The ready-made pair will be given away when needed urgently.Shrouds and cemeteries are not too difficult to find. What Lao Xia had to worry about was to let everyone in the Kang family know that the old lady was seriously ill, without arousing any suspicion.This woman has always been in good health and has hardly suffered from any disease.Suddenly it's gone, even if you get a sudden illness, you have to have an explanation, right? Therefore, before inviting Tan Xian to come for treatment, Lao Xia didn't make much publicity.He just said to the fourth master: "The old lady has been in a bad mood recently, and she has become ill due to suspicion. I don't think she has such a good physique, and even minor disasters and ailments can't get on her body. How could there be a serious problem? Fourth master General doctor, go in and give some comfort." After hearing this, fourth master hurried into the old courtyard.When the fourth master came out, Lao Xia asked, "Look, fourth master, doesn't he look sick?" The fourth master said: "The old lady is sleeping. I heard from Du Mu that there is nothing else. The old lady just tends to get sleepy recently. Let's worry more about it, as long as I am safe and healthy." Lao Xia said: "It's spring, the yang energy rises, and it's inevitable that people love to get sleepy." The first time I invited Tan Xian to see a doctor, Lao Xia didn't make much of it.It was only when someone asked that he told me, "It's not really a serious illness, it's just that I'm not in good spirits, and I'm more sleepy than usual. It's the old man who is worried, so he asked Mr. Tan. Mr. Tan said, it's okay." However, Si Niang heard that Si Ye had invited Mr. Tan, so she ran over to give San Niang a message.Therefore, the daughters-in-law of the two principals went in first to greet the old lady.Then, the aunt and the second mother also went in to greet them.Later, all the men also went in to say hello. Probably everyone saw that the old lady was not important, so the matter did not make much publicity. After Tan Xian came back for the second time, Lao Xia went door to door and told each family about the situation of the diagnosis and treatment: "Tan Xian saw that the prescription he prescribed didn't work at all, so he was very disturbed. He quickly took the old lady's pulse carefully and asked everyone In such a situation, I still haven't figured out what's wrong with it. Tan Xian is even more uncomfortable. But the old lady opened it up, and said to take a few more doses to see, the big deal is to sleep more. But I think, the old lady is already obvious I've lost weight. The old man is also very unsteady." After hearing such news, no one dared to take it seriously, and rushed to greet the old lady and comfort the old lady.The atmosphere of the Kang family really changed. When Lao Xia reported the news to Sanniang, he inadvertently added a sentence: "Tell me, the old man shouldn't move back to the main house." San Niang asked, "Why?" Lao Xia whispered: "San Niang, you forgot, the old man's fate is too hard?" San Niang couldn't help but yelled: "Ah..." Lao Xia hurriedly said: "Sanniang, I'm talking nonsense. Tan Xian is a famous doctor, so he can't figure out the cause of the disease, it's too worrying!" Sanniang was surprised by Lao Xia's slight dial, because she had thought the same way in her heart. It's not that, a good person suddenly suffers from such a strange disease, even a competent doctor can't figure out the cause, so how can we not be suspicious.Everyone knows that the old man is hard-working and prosperous.But you suspect that the old lady contracted an inexplicable disease and asked the old lady to restrain her. It is really inconvenient to say such things.It's all right now, Lao Xia has broken through this layer first, and there is a reason for bringing it up again. So, after Lao Xia left, San Niang called Si Niang, went into the old house to greet the old lady, and met the old man.After coming out of the old courtyard, San Niang pulled Si Niang into her room, and said mysteriously, "Guess what Lao Xia told me?" Si Niang hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" Sanniang said in a low voice: "He said that the old lady is so sick, maybe she asked the old lady to give her a gram..." After hearing this, Si Niang couldn't help but screamed, and then said: "Old Xia really said that?" "What's the matter, I'm still coaxing you? He must also be suspicious. The old man's life is too prosperous, who doesn't know!" "But these years, the old lady has been safe and sound. She is stronger than you and me, right? I thought that this enlightened old lady finally got over it." "Who says it's not! Although this old lady is sometimes out of line and doesn't pay much attention to old manners, she is not bad-hearted. She doesn't care about anyone, doesn't like to find fault, and doesn't hold grudges. Such an old lady is actually convinced. Can't stay?" "It's really hard to say about fate. The old lady in front has lived in peace for more than ten years and gave birth to the sixth master. Who would have thought that it would be impossible if it couldn't be done?" "The old lady in front of me, her physique is no longer good, and she is always sick. She is not as enlightened in temperament as this one, especially her eyes! Who can she fall in love with in the whole family? That's called a strong heart." Life is not strong." "The one in front has only been an old lady for more than ten years?" "It's been fourteen or five years, right? The current one is less than fourteen or five years old." "His mother, do you know what else Lao Xia told me?" "What did you say?" "Old Xia said that in winter, the old man shouldn't move back to the main house!" "why?" "If the old lady doesn't move there, maybe the old lady won't be sick." "If you don't live in one room, you can't do it?" "His wife, think about it. The old lady hasn't lived in the main house for a few days since the old lady entered Kang's house. We thought that the old lady didn't like to see this restless old lady very much. Now turn around Look, maybe the old lady avoided her because she was afraid of restraining her." "If that's the case, the old lady loves this one too much! I would rather be wronged and hide in that small courtyard all my life, and I don't want to hinder her." "I heard from Lao Xia that the old man moved back to the main house last winter because he was afraid of freezing the old lady. This winter is too cold, and the main house only lives in the old lady's house. How can it be warm? In addition to the bad weather, the whole family Everyone lived frugally, and if the servants took the opportunity to light the fire carelessly, the old lady would really suffer from the cold! The old lady just moved in." "In order to love her, I actually hurt her. The old man is afraid that he will be even more anxious!" "I think so too. But how can people let people do what's in their lives?" "Third sister-in-law, whether the old lady has been restrained by the old man, we are also suspicious. I think of one person, she must have a good idea." "Who is it?" "Sister-in-law. Eldest brother has been studying "Yi" all his life. If the old lady is really going to this kind of joint, can he not see it? He can see it, can sister-in-law know?" "His fourth mother, it's still your heart, I'm so anxious to patronize, even my aunt has forgotten!" San Niang and Si Niang immediately went to see the aunt. To their surprise, the aunt was calm as usual.After she understood the purpose of the two sisters-in-law's visit, she actually said: "The deaf ghost didn't say anything." Si Niang asked: "Brother knows that the old lady is sick, right?" The aunt said: "I know. I have already given him the sign." Sanniang hurriedly asked: "Understood, you really didn't say anything?" The aunt said: "He didn't even open his eyes. I scolded him: All the men have gone to greet you, so you can't make a show? Can't speak, can't you show your face? If you scold him like this, he will I'll stare at you!" Si Niang said: "Since elder brother doesn't take it seriously, then the old lady's condition is really not a big problem." San Niang also hurriedly said: "That's not it! Brother, don't worry, we can rest assured." The aunt said: "He is a deaf ghost, do you really respect him? I was just about to ask the two of you, is the old lady's illness serious?" Siniang said, "Sister-in-law, if you ask us, who shall we ask?" Sanniang also said: "We didn't know the truth, so we came to ask sister-in-law." The aunt said: "I'm like a deaf ghost, like an outsider. What can I know? His third and fourth masters are in charge of the family. I don't ask you who to ask?" San Niang smiled and said: "They are the ones who are in charge of the house, and they don't have to work too hard. How much do they know about the old house?" Si Niang also said: The fourth is even a long-term foreman, listening and drinking all day long, how can he be in charge of the house?」 The aunt also laughed: "I'm not in charge, you complain to me, isn't this the wrong tomb for crying in the grave?" Three Niangs and Fourth Niangs wanted to find out what the auntie had in mind, but the auntie just refused to say a word.This aroused their suspicion even more: how could the aunt be willing to say such unlucky words? Therefore, the old lady was seriously ill by Shou Ke, fearing that there would be unexpected rumors, so she quietly spread them among the Kang family. When Liu Ye's nanny first heard this kind of discussion, she seemed a little gloating.She always thought that it was the appearance of Du Yunqing that year that caused Mrs. Meng's early death.Tit for tat now, it's finally the turn of Mrs. Du! However, when she heard about Mrs. Du's illness later, she was still secretly surprised: This old lady's symptoms are also sleepy?When Liu Ye's first mother was seriously ill, she was lethargic day and night.When awake, he is not confused, just like ordinary people, but he will feel sleepy within a short time.Why do the two old ladies have the same disease?The old lady's life is too prosperous, they can't bear it, and they will get the same disease at the end of their lives? From this point of view, Mrs. Du is really not long in the world? The nurse couldn't help it, so she told Liu Ye her surprise. The sixth master no longer dislikes Mrs. Du now. Hearing what the nanny said, he thought it was her partiality, and hoped that something bad happened to Mrs. Du.Therefore, he didn't like to listen to it very much, and said: "Nurse, don't listen to gossip too. The old lady is ill, so she provokes many people to gossip, isn't it just taking advantage of others' danger?" Seeing him like this, the nanny said, "How can we worry about this old lady's illness? I can't help but think of your mother. When your mother was seriously ill, who would worry about it?" She said with tears in her eyes.The sixth master hurriedly said: "Nurse, I'm not talking about you. Everyone, there are too many gossips. If you want to be quiet, you have to shut the gossip outside the door!" The nanny said: "Sixth Master, I am nosy? Just thinking of your mother makes me feel uncomfortable! When your mother was seriously ill, who worried about her? The doctor first said: It's like typhoid fever. When I heard It's typhoid fever, and I stayed far away, afraid of catching it. I don't think she has a severe fever, but lethargy. When she is awake, she still wants to eat, and her speech is not confused, let alone nonsense. But the more she eats, the more she eats. The medicine prescribed by the doctor first, the more drowsy. I told them, ask the doctor to change the prescription first, and only treat typhoid fever, I’m afraid it won’t work? But who will listen! " The sixth master asked, "Is this Mr. Tan the doctor who was invited at that time?" The nanny said, "No. But he is also a famous doctor. His surname is Gao. Everyone calls him Gao Xian." Sixth Master patiently listened to the nanny's story before comforting her.He had heard his nanny talk about his mother since he was a child, and he had long believed that his mother's death was painful and wronged.After his mother died, ghosts would linger for many years, and he also firmly believed.Like his nanny, he has always been wary and disgusted with the current Mrs. Du.But suddenly, he found that he didn't really hate this stepmother, and even adored her a little, and it seemed that he could never go back to the past.He believed that there would be no hatred between his mother and this stepmother.None of them had seen anyone.Of course, he also knew that he couldn't change the nanny.He was also moved by her unswervingly guarding his mother. After the sixth master knew that Mrs. Du was ill, he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.It was the first time he entered the nursing home to greet her, and the old lady he saw was much healthier than he imagined, but his sense of foreboding still did not diminish.He didn't understand where this ominous feeling came from, but it was hard to get rid of it. The old lady's illness was actually caused by her fate?Before the nanny said this to him, Liu Ye had already heard the discussion of the two servants.At that time, he severely reprimanded the two servants, but his heart was still a little heavier.Now, the nanny is also talking like this, of course the sixth master is even more unhappy. That day, he comforted the nanny, and went to the old home when he came out: He couldn't help but see the old lady again, did she really have bad luck?But he failed to see the old lady, she was asleep again!Du Mu said that he just fell asleep. He asked, "Is the old lady feeling better recently?" Du Mu said, "It's still the same, but the food and drink are less than before." "Still sleepy like that?" "Isn't it?" "Has Mr. Tan come again?" "I've been here. The old man is also a little flustered, as if he is still not sure what the disease is." "Then don't you hurry up and find another doctor?" "I heard from Lao Xia that it is hard to find a master who can beat Tan Xian in Taigu. The old lady wants to find a Western doctor first, but in this year, where can I ask for it? The old lady has sent a message to the station abroad Shopkeepers, pay attention to inquire about good prescriptions. I hope that the distant water can quench the near thirst." What else can Liu Ye say?When he came out of the old courtyard, he suddenly wanted to go to the temple to ask for a lottery: to ask a good or bad luck for the old lady.It's just that a premonition told him that the lottery he got must be very bad.Instead of asking about the next murderous lottery, why not ask? But the more ominous the premonition, the more unable to let go.Sixth Master finally went to ask for a signature.If it is effective, it should go to Longquan Temple in Fengshan.可他怕太灵了，真问回一个凶签来，受不了。所以就选了城里的东寺。在东寺，摇到一个中上签，不疼不痒吧，他已经很高兴了。老夫人的这场灾病，要真是不痛不痒，那与上上签也无异！ 所以，从东寺出来，望见孙家那一片宅第，六爷也不再觉得索然。孙家那位小姐，既然是老夫人举荐，他不应该太挑剔吧？老夫人真要无大恙，他就来东寺还愿，不存奢望，安心娶回孙家二小姐。 关于老太爷命硬克妇的议论，当然不会有人说给杜筠青。但她自己终于也想到了这一层。 但此时已进入早春时节。 春光一日浓似一日，可杜筠青的病却依然不见好转。她几乎是整日卧床了，因为她清醒的时候越来越少。食欲也越来越差，人便更消瘦憔悴。进城洗浴早已成为旧事。谭先还是常来，也依然只开方子，不说病名。杜筠青早在怀疑了：他们都在瞒她，不肯告诉她得了什么病。不用说，瞒着她的，一准是不祥之症！ 就这样，她将走到尽头，她的性命真要油尽灯灭了？ 这是上天对她作孽的报应吗？ 杜筠青对做康家这样的老夫人，已经没有一点留恋；她走向罪孽，也早预备了去死，可真意识到自己将走到性命尽头，还是惊慌了。 谁愿意被夺去性命！早知道会这样一步一步被夺去性命，那还不如自己弃命而去。自家弃命，尚有几分壮烈，而现在她是连壮烈的力气也没有了。就这样一天比一天不由自主地昏睡，直到醒不来，无声息地被夺去性命。只这样一想，也觉自己太可怜了。 但在这种惊慌中，她也并没有想到老太爷的命硬命旺，想到的只是自己的罪孽。她落到这一步，应该是上天对她的严惩吧。她作了孽，本想捅破康家的天，辱没老东西一回，可上天不叫她称心，又有什么奈何？ 所以，天气暖和以后，杜筠青已经不再有什么想望，也不再想探知老东西是否知道了她的丑行，是否在心底强压着暴怒。她把什么都丢下了，只想静静地消受这最后的春光。她能感知春光的清醒时刻，也已经越来越短促。在这样短促的春光里，还净想些不称心的，那真不如早一步弃世而去。 面对令人敬畏的天意，杜筠青极力想平缓下来，但又怎么能够做到！她不想挣扎了，但还是停不住要回忆：知道自己行将离世，谁能停住回忆！而她能够忆旧的清醒时刻因为太短促，许多往事就总是蜂拥而来，叫她难以梳理，难以驻足回味，只是觉得沉重，劳累。一累，就要犯困，困了也就什么都想不成了。所以，杜筠青想起老太爷的命硬，又将这个记忆抓住不放，也是不容易的。 她记起了这一层，起先只是无力地流出了眼泪。 当年，一面传说康笏南命太旺，连克四妇，不是凡人；一面对他的续弦，又是应聘者如云。杜筠青就此还问过父亲：那个老财主的命相如此可怕，为什么还有这么多的女人争着往死路上跑？当时，父亲是怎么说的：命相之说可信可不信？但是，她意外地被这个老财主选中时，父亲，母亲，还有她自己，谁也没有感到恐惧。当时，除了感到意外，好像什么都忘了去想。其实，她和父母都被一种意外的幸运压倒了。 那是一种什么幸运？幸运地走向今天的死路？ 今天，她无力无奈地躺在这最后的春光里，除了流泪，还能怎样？父母的在天之灵，大概已经看见了她今天的结局。你们也不用伤心，我不埋怨你们。既然是命中注定的事，也许想逃也逃不过吧。 杜筠青意识到自己命定要这样死去，本来更想丢开一切，平缓地解脱了自己，可到底还是做不到。流着泪想了许多次，到底把天意也想破了。天意难违，也无非是去死吧。既已必死无赦，还有什么可畏可悔？这条死路也快走到头了，自己的罪孽已经铸就，再悔恨也无用了。 就是在这样想的时候，杜筠青终于抓住了一个念头：忏悔，她可以假借忏悔，把自己的罪孽说出来！我知道我快死了，有一件事，我必须说出来，不说出来，我咽不了气，合不上眼，因为我做下的这件事，对不起康家，更对不起老太爷……这是一个好办法，也是她现在能够做到，更是她最后一次挣扎了。 在得病以前，杜筠青一直就想亲口对老东西说出那件事，气他一个目瞪口呆。只是，每每临场又总是说不出口。你还没听说呀，我跟赶车的三喜相好上了，我早跟他有了私情……这样的话，真是说不出口。现在好了，改用忏悔的口气，就很容易说出口了。这样说出来，老东西也更容易相信吧。他相信了，也才会暴怒吧？他暴怒了，也就说明他被伤着了…… 这样一个好办法，怎么就没有早想出来？ 杜筠青想出这个办法以后，她的心境倒真正平缓下来。因为只要对康笏南做这样一次忏悔，她就再也没有什么可牵挂的了。无论老东西是目瞪口呆，还是假装不相信，那都无关紧要了。她真可以平静地去死了，无憾地为自己的罪孽去死。 所以，在做这样一次忏悔以前，杜筠青想进城去洗一次澡。她已经很久没有进城洗澡了。就是关在这密不透风的屋里，杜牧她们也不愿叫她多洗浴，她们怕她受风病重。她已经太肮脏了。她不能这样肮脏着身子去死。 这天，趁着清醒时，她对杜牧说：“你去给老夏说一声，叫他们套好车马，我要进城洗浴一回。” 杜牧立刻惊讶地说：“老夫人，你病成这样，哪能进城洗澡呀？” 杜筠青就平静地说：“我知道我病得快不行了，趁还能动，进城洗浴一回。只怕这也是最后一回洗浴了。” 杜牧慌忙说：“老夫人是开通人，怎么也说这种吓唬人的话呀？” “我何必吓唬你？病在我身上，还能不能抗住，也只有我清楚。” “老夫人，谭先不是说了吗？能熬过春天，就该大愈了。眼看春天已经来了，你正有熬头……” “你不用多说了，能熬过熬不过，我比你知道。你就照我的话，去对老夏说！” “老夫人，这么不吉利的话，我哪敢说？” “杜牧，我真熬不过春天了。生死在天，天意不活我，我也不强求。只是，平生喜爱洗浴洁身，我不能这样满身肮脏死去。你把这话说给他们。” “老夫人想干净，我们在家也能伺候你洗浴。” “在家哪能洗得干净？最后了，我得把自己洗干净。” “可是，你怎能经得起……” 杜筠青忽然变了口气说：“杜牧，我求你也这样难了？” 杜牧慌忙说：“老夫人，我这就去把老夏叫来！” “等你把他叫来，只怕我又迷糊过去了。杜牧，叫你传句话，真这样难？” “老夫人，我还能不听你吩咐？我这就去见老夏！” 杜牧刚出去，睡意果然又像浓雾般弥漫过来。等杜筠青醒来，已经是斜阳西照的时候，她并没有想起这件事。直到杜牧伺候她吃过饭食，喝下汤药，才终于想起来，忙问：“杜牧，叫你见老夏，见着没有？” 杜牧说：“见着了，见着了，老夫人有吩咐，他哪敢不见！” “他答应没答应？” “老夏初听了，也不敢做主，赶紧去问老太爷。老太爷斟酌半天，还是答应了，说：'出去走走、洗洗，或许能散散邪气。只是，你们得万分小心伺候！'” “他们真答应了？” “可不是呢。老夏当下就过来了，想问问老夫人什么时候套车。那时，老夫人又犯困，睡着了。” “快去告他，明天一早就把车马预备妥吧！” 杜筠青真没想到，他们会这么容易就答应了。看来，他们也相信她快要死去。不去多想了，临死前能进城洗浴一次，她已经满意。 进城的日子，他们推迟了几天，说是要等她精神好些，再出行。进城的那天，她的精神还果真格外好。在车轿里，虽然被包裹得严严实实，可居然没有犯困！马车一直跑到那片枣树林，她依然清醒着。 杜筠青凑近小小的轿窗口，望着还未出新叶的那片枣树林，任心中翻江倒海。 这是罪孽之地。 这也是令她刻骨铭心之地。 她不恨三喜。她依然想念他。这个英俊的车倌，是她这一辈子惟一喜欢过的男人。他也许真的为她而死了。 马车驶过去了，但她还能望见那片枣树林。而且，就这样一直望着，很久了，居然没有犯困。 今天这是怎么了，病也忽然变轻了？ 不过，杜筠青还是再次吩咐杜牧：洗浴时，她犯了病，迷糊着了，你不用怕，请继续为我洗浴。只要小心不要把我淹死，别的都不用怕。 做了这样的吩咐以后，她依然没有犯困，直到快进城时，才有种困意慢慢飘来。 这最后一次洗浴，杜筠青没有留下多少太清晰的记忆。完全清醒后，已经重新躺在那久卧的病榻上。不过，她感觉到了身体的轻快：洗浴是真的。 趁着干净，赶紧做最后一件事。但她似乎许久没见老东西了。 她问杜牧：“老太爷一直没有过来？” 杜牧忙说：“老太爷常来。来时，净赶上老夫人沉睡不醒。老太爷不让惊动老夫人，但要细问病情，醒的时候长些了？进食多些了？还常坐着等一阵。” 杜筠青问：“老太爷常在什么时候来？” 杜牧说：“也没准。” 既没个准头，就都赶上她昏睡不醒的时候？杜筠青就对杜牧说：“老太爷再来时，你长短把我摇醒，我有话跟他交待。” 杜牧说：“老夫人的吩咐，我记住了。只怕到时摇不醒……” “那你就用针扎！不拘用什么办法，叫醒我就是了。” “就怕老太爷不许……” 杜筠青冷冷地说：“杜牧，我求你真这么难了？” 杜牧忙说：“我当然听老夫人吩咐……” 然而，两天过去了，杜筠青依然没见着康笏南。杜牧说，老太爷来过一回，她使了大劲摇，也没摇醒。后来，老太爷喝住她，不许再摇。 杜筠青没跟杜牧生气，只是平静地说：“那你过去，请老太爷过来，就说我有要紧的话，跟他交待。” 杜牧倒是立刻去了，但迟迟不见回来。直等得杜筠青的困劲又上来了，杜牧才匆匆回来，说：“老太爷不在屋里，跑出去也没找见，去问老夏，才知道进城了，说是有……” 杜筠青没听完，就睡过去了。 改日清醒时，又吩咐杜牧去请老太爷。这回，杜牧倒是很快就回来了，并说：“老太爷说了，他立马就过来。” 可杜筠青没等来康笏南，就又昏睡过去。醒来问起，杜牧说：“你刚睡着，老太爷就到了，只差一步！” 以后几次也一样，不是找不见人，就是等不到人，好像老东西已经看透她的用意，故意不见。 杜筠青感到自己已经支撑不了多久，因为醒着的时候，分明更短暂。她不能再延误了。见不着老东西，见着别人也成。挑一位适当的人，做那样一次忏悔，也会传到老东西耳中吧。 挑谁呢？ 可挑的人，无非是四爷、六爷，三娘、四娘。那件事，说给三娘四娘，她们一定会叫嚷出去的，尤其一定告诉老太爷。可老东西也许不大相信她们的话，媳妇们说三道四，他一向讨厌。四爷呢，他会不会被那件事吓倒，手足无措？六爷太年轻，也不宜对他说这种事。三爷不在家。二爷呢？他大概也不爱听她多说话。还有一个老东西正宠着的人：宋玉。可你能把她叫来？老东西从不许宋玉进这大书房来。 杜筠青挑来挑去，又剩下了那两个人：老夏和老亭。 老亭是老东西的近侍。但他太冷酷，也太可能瞒下不报。 老夏呢？老夏圆滑，什么话都听。他对老太爷更是忠心不二。他知道了这样的丑事，不敢瞒下不报吧？三喜失踪，吕布反常，说不定老夏早有猜疑。她临终说破，他更会深信不疑。他也许会对所有人瞒下不报，但不大敢欺瞒老太爷吧？他得给自己留后路。也只有老夏，有可能穿过老亭的防线吧？ 杜筠青就这样错误地挑中了老夏。 老夏当然是一叫就来了。杜筠青刚说：“我怕快不行了，有几句话想向老太爷交待……” 老夏立刻就把杜牧一干仆佣支开了。 杜筠青没有迟疑，赶紧说：“我对不住老太爷……”于是，把那件事说了出来。 老夏瞪着眼听完，说：“老夫人，你是刚做过这样的梦吧？” 杜筠青说：“这几个月，我已经不会做梦了，一睡过去，就像死了似的。这事，你不说给老太爷也成。但我死后，怕不宜进康家的坟地吧？我这样的人，埋进康家坟地，只怕要坏了他家风水的！” 老夏极力忍耐着说：“老夫人，你在说胡话吧，我看得赶紧把谭先叫来！” “我不是说胡话。这件事，老亭已经知道，你依然不知，只怕老太爷会迁怒于你。所以，我才给你做此交待。这件事，于你们谁都无关，只是我一人的罪孽。你要怕受牵连，就在我死前，设法把老太爷请来，我当面给他做交待。” “老夫人，你一定做噩梦了！” “这是我临死前的交待！” 老夏却已经在招呼杜牧她们：“快过来，小心伺候老夫人！” 杜牧一进来，老夏匆忙就走。 杜筠青看那形势，相信老夏是匆匆见老太爷去了。 老夏虽被杜筠青的临终交待，吓得出了一身冷汗，但跑出来后，却很快就平静了。老亭已经知道了那件捅破天的丑事？他越想越不像！老亭是个什么人，他能不知道？老亭要真知道了这件事，即使要瞒住老太爷，也不是现在这种做法了。他会叫这妇人死得更痛快！ 老夏留心试探了老亭，没有任何异常，一切还是依老例进行。 此后三天，杜筠青很想见老东西，看他知道了那件事是什么表情。可惜终于没有见着。她清醒的时刻，也是越发短暂了。 到第四天，她就片刻也没有醒过来。 三爷得知老夫人病重的消息，正在杭州。 去年腊月，三爷带着汝梅南下时，最先也是停在汉口。汉口是大码头，加之已近年关，汉号的陈老帮极力挽留，他们就留在汉口过年。过罢年，即沿江而下，经九江，安庆，芜湖，镇江，到南京，一路都有停留。出正月时，才经苏州，到了上海。 因为戴膺在上海，三爷就多停留了一些时候。 汝梅初到江南，偏赶上一隆冬，外间不算冷，屋里却太不暖和。再加上不能习惯的潮湿感，又冷又湿，真是不好受。三爷嘴上对她说：“出来就得受罪！这点潮气就扛不住，你还想到口外？口外，那才叫受罪！”可还是很心疼她，见上海的上等客栈屋里还暖和些，也就有意多住些时日。 出来这一路，三爷所见着的各庄口老帮，都不似孙大掌柜那样令人心冷，一个一个既知礼，又不生分，坦诚说事，情同故交，很叫他感到舒服。这才叫他想起邱泰基劝过他的话：多往外埠码头跑跑，尤其该多往江南跑跑。所以，他曾想在上海住到春暖时候，再从容往别处去。可汝梅哪能长住得了？没多久，就又嚷着去杭州。 他们到杭州没几天，就得到老夫人卧病的消息。三爷初听了，觉得很突然，老夫人一向心宽体健的，怎么说病就病倒了？他看老号发给杭州庄口的信报，说老夫人得的还是一种疑症，只嗜睡，不思饮食，城中名医亦有些束手无策。各庄口可于本埠寻医问药，有验方秘方速寄回，切切。 得的还是疑症？ 三爷回想这次出远门前，曾去见过老夫人。那时也看不出什么异常，只是有些憔悴罢了。怎么就忽然得了疑症？既已这样满天下寻医问药，可见病情不寻常。 三爷就毅然决定不再往前走，立马返回太谷。汝梅当然有些不情愿，但见父亲不容分说，也只好默然了。也幸亏她早催促，来到了杭州！ 返回上海，三爷与戴老帮说起来，戴老帮也是惊叹不已：这位老夫人心性开通，体格也好，怎么就忽然得了这种病？应该无大碍吧？ 沪号的孟老帮，已张罗了几种昂贵的西洋药物，托三爷带回。他也是拣吉利话说，但隐约露出的一种暗示，三爷还是觉察到了：“这位老夫人，不会像前头那一位吧？”前头那一位老夫人去世时，四下里都议论：老太爷的命太旺，一般女人服不住。三爷不敢这样想，可孟老帮的暗示还是将一种不祥之感扯了出来，挥之不去。 匆匆离开上海，赶到汉口时，家中已发来急报：老夫人病重，告三爷速归。陈亦卿老帮感叹时，竟也无意间流露了与孟老帮相似的猜疑：老太爷的命相真是太不一般了。这种可畏的猜疑，居然在各地的字号间流传开了？三爷越发多了不祥之感。老太爷的命相就真是那样可怕？但愿老夫人不是一般女人，一般命相！
