Chapter 27 Chapter 25: A Door Wants to Hide Her Beloved, Suffering Two Nights of Suspicion

As soon as the door was pushed, it turned out that Mei Li got in.She laughed and said, "What's so elegant? Why don't you bring me along?" Ah Nan laughed and said, "Miss Ba, come here, there are a lot of things." Mei Li said, "Who invites whom?" Qiu Xiang said : "No one invites anyone." Yin said what he said about playing cards and eating snacks.Meili said to Yanxi: "Brother Seven, I will discuss with you. After dinner, will you let me do four rounds?" When Ah Nan heard this, she became anxious.She and Mei Li have the best relationship, and she couldn't carry the sedan chair, so she smiled and said: "You don't want to come, Qi Ye's side, today is the direction of losing money. Are you willing to lose money for Qi Ye?" Mei Li said: " After four rounds, don't you change direction with the wind?" Ah Nan said: "If you change direction, you are also against his position, and you have to lose money." Yanxi said: "You have a bad heart, don't you Do you think I lost money? Meili don’t want to come, let me fight, and I must win them a few pennies.” Qiuxiang said: “Unless the method is changed in the last four laps. If it is still the same first, there must be a turnaround , may not be able to win our money." Yanxi said: "You don't measure my loss, I can still do what I did before. Now you must say that I lose money, I can't be so stupid." Meili said: " Ah Nan, let me play a few games." Ah Nan said: "Miss Eight, don't come, if you change someone, everyone will change their luck." Meili said: "Why don't you let me go I fight? I have to play a few games before I give up." Yanxi said: "If you want to fight, I will let you fight." Meili said: "I fight as my own, and it has nothing to do with you." Yanxi Xidao: "If I lose money, don't I have to make money? The cards can be given to you, and the money is still mine." Meili laughed and said: "What if I lose again?" Yanxi said: "Of course it's still mine. , doesn’t that count as yours?” It was agreed, and after having snacks, Mei Li continued to play Yanxi’s cards.Ah Nan thought, anyway, what she lost was Qiye's money, so why be polite to her?Let's get on with it.When I first sat down to play cards, I glanced at Yu'er and Qiuxiang each, and they both understood.Yanxi didn't play cards at this time, she was an outsider, a bystander.Seeing that Qiuxiang lost more than five yuan, he was still laughing freely, not in a hurry, which was a little strange.At this moment, Ah Nan kept complaining about playing cards.Before she finished speaking, Qiuxiang typed a whiteboard out of thin air and gave it to Ah Nan.Yanxi remained calm, and after a while, pretending to be looking for something, she went around behind Qiuxiang, and saw the card and a whiteboard erected in front of her.I thought, okay!You three brats have joined forces to get my money.I will keep quiet for now, and I will settle accounts with you in the future.After four rounds of playing cards, Yanxi lost another four or five yuan, and when all was counted, she lost more than ten yuan.According to Meili, she was a little unconvinced and wanted to play four laps.Yanxi smiled and said: "Come on, I have won enough, I am sorry to win again. If you want to fight, I will let you come, and I will quit." Mei Li said: "You lost a lot of money, don't you want to make it back? "Qiuxiang laughed and said: "If you lose, you lose. You can't fight with others? Wait a while, the third young mistress shouted that there was no one, and she would be offended again. I won't fight." Yanxi smiled and said: "You are willing to lose Is that money?" Qiuxiang said: "Master Qi looks down on us like that. There is always a winner or loser in a game of cards. Are you afraid of losing and come back?" Yanxi laughed and said, "What a big talk, let's do it again in two days." Qiuxiang said with a smile: "As long as you have time, come here. What are you afraid of?" As they spoke, Ah Nan and Yu'er left first.Qiu Xiang said to Mei Li: "Miss Ba, let's play cards over there, should we go and see?"Seeing that there was no third person in the room, Yanxi said to Qiuxiang: "Qiuxiang, you are an honest man, are you learning to be bad now?" Qiuxiang said, "What's wrong with learning?" Yanxi said: " Let me ask you, you have two whiteboards in your hand, why did you break the pair and call your Nan to touch them?" Qiuxiang said, "How can there be such a thing?" Yanxi said, "No such thing? I'll go to Behind you, I saw you playing cards with my own eyes, what are you relying on?" Qiu Xiang said: "I am a pair, she is a pair, if the pair is dead, how can I win the card? Because I want to play all the cards, I played her right. Then I let you see it by coincidence." Yanxi raised an index finger, pointed at Qiuxiang and said with a smile: "You child, if you don't tell the truth, I will tell the third young lady and punish you severely! The three of you have made an appointment. , intend to treat me as a fool, win me a few dollars to buy something to eat, right? I already knew, let you win, and see how much you can win? If you don’t tell the truth, you really treat me as a fool "Qiu Xiang laughed and said: "Qi Ye loses ten or eight dollars, so what? Even if we carry the sedan chair. Eight rounds of cards, most of the day, it is very painful to carry. How much money is spent, that's not enough Is it worth it?" Yanxi laughed and said, "If you say that, I won't be wronged if I spend a few dollars." Qiuxiang smiled and said, "Who told Qi Ye to come with us? We play cards with Qi Ye, if we lose, Qiye can't bear it either, right? So we must win." Yanxi smiled and said, "Since I say this, I'll spare you this time, but I won't be an example. If this happens again next time, I'll count it together with this time. I want you to repay it twice." Qiuxiang said: "After talking, there is nothing wrong with me, right? I'm leaving." After speaking, turning around to leave, Yanxi said: "I have one more thing to tell you, you Don't tell Ah Nan that I already know, just let it go in a vague way." Qiuxiang smiled and said, "That's good, don't hide it from the one who carries the sedan chair, but the one who sits on the sedan chair." Yanxi smiled and said: "I am It's a bit of a bad idea, otherwise, you wouldn't let me sit in the sedan chair for these three people." Qiuxiang smiled and left.

Yanxi looked at the clock, it was only nine o'clock, she couldn't walk, she couldn't sit still at home, how did this long night pass?After sitting for a while, he walked into the upper room first, and saw his mother, his second concubine, Aunt Cui and Minzhi playing cards vigorously.The second concubine, Mrs. He, turned her head, saw Yanxi, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, old seven." It turns out that the second concubine is the one who gave birth to a child and is getting old, so the male and female brothers from their direct descendants are demanding of her. Be respectful, she doesn't joke with her children easily.Now that she said this, Yanxi couldn't figure it out.She smiled and said, "Well, what's so exciting?" The second aunt said: "It's been several months, and I haven't seen you at home at night. Isn't it a joy to stay at home today?" Yanxi said: "It's a good thing my father isn't here, otherwise, my aunt would add fuel to my fire." Mrs. Jin said, "Really, your ghost poetry club, please close it quickly. If you want to find friends to write poems, why bother to have a gathering at home? Spend a lot of money and rent another house? I heard that you borrowed money everywhere, and you probably lost a lot of money? Or you should clean up and borrow a lot of money. Your father knows, will he agree to you? From today, you want Not at home. I will send someone to inquire about you and see what you are doing outside." Yanxi said: "Who said I was at a loss?" Aunt Cui smiled and said: "Don't look at me, I didn't say "Yanxi said: "When anyone has money and doesn't join hands, it's not a shortfall." Mrs. Jin said: "Listen to your accent, you are at a loss, and you need to talk about it. Two days a day, I You have to calculate your expenses. Look at this shortfall, how did you make it up?" Yanxi slipped away again when she heard the bad news.

Followed the footsteps and came to Yufen again, across the yard, saw the bright lights in the upper room, and knew that the card was not over.Yanxi walked in and saw that the chips in front of Yufen were still piled high, and said with a smile, "The winner is the winner after all, and he still has those chips." Yufen said, "You think I still won? If you lose, you don't know how to return home." Yanxi said: "When I went, you won very well, and you drew a three-leg." Yufen said: "Since that card, you haven't drawn a draw. I Playing cards is very bad today, just watch it for me." Runzhi said: "If you invite him, then you have invited a dog-headed army division! It is really a dream to rely on him to make money for you." Yanxi laughed "I played two games on the table, and you knocked me down. Why are you afraid of this dog-headed military division?" When he said that, he went to sit behind Yufen and watched several games in succession.Yufen laughed and said, "It's really a dog-headed military master. If you don't come to my cards, you will get better cards. Once you come, you won't be able to get any good cards." Yanxi laughed and said, "This is a bit unreasonable. You can play well. No, it can be said that my military adviser does not know how to plan. As for your failure to get the cards, it is a matter in your hand, what has nothing to do with me? If you let me play a few games, if I don't draw, I will admit the dog's head The emblem of the military division. Listen to everyone here, do you really think of me as a dog-headed military division? If you are not afraid of me, let me play a few games." Peifang said: "I won't let you fight, let you talk. Let you Let's fight, you've hit your trick again." Yanxi said: "Then it's up to everyone." Peifang said: "Let you play a few games. If you don't draw, what face will you have? After hearing this, Yanxi repeatedly urged Yufen to get out of the way, and started fighting herself.After only one game, Mei Li came.Said: "Brother Seven just got off the field over there, why did he start playing here again?" Peifang said: "Old Seven, where are you playing cards?" Meili smiled and said: "No one would have guessed that it is that class of characters." Yufen said: "Probably brought some messy people outside again." Mei Li said: "No, no, it's Ah Nan, Qiuxiang, and Yu'er hiding behind his study. Tell the kitchen to send him some snacks." Yufen said: "Is it true? Seventh." Yanxi said: "You don't take me to play, isn't that how I make do?" Huichang said : "Yufen, you should be careful. One of my sister-in-law's pity asked Lao Qi to talk about freedom with her today and equality with her tomorrow. As a result, she really talked about equality and freedom. Now he is carrying out low-level work again. Go and incite them. As for Ah Nan, it doesn't matter, she has her own ideas, and she is hired, so I don't care anyway. Yu'er is young, and she doesn't know how to fall in love. Your family's Qiuxiang, when the time comes, as long as he encourages her , it’s Xiao Lian’s second again, you’ve been hurting her for nothing.” Yanxi’s face changed a little after being told by Huichang face to face, and she forced a smile: “Second sister-in-law, other people can say that, don’t you? You should say this. Aren’t you advocating the liberation of the slave-servant system? I practice the work of the lower class, and I agree with your doctrine. It’s fine if you don’t protect me. How can you expose my shady plot?!” Yufen laughed and said, “Lao Qi , This is what you said. I treated you well. Why did you incite my people to escape like this? I said just now that I must borrow thousands of dollars to save you. In this way, don’t think of me alone It's too big." Yanxi was in a hurry and didn't know what to say, put down the card, stood up and made two long bows to Yufen, and said with a smile: "The brother said something wrong, here is a gift for sister-in-law, Isn't that okay?" At this moment, Peng Zhen came in from the outside and said to Yufen, "It's a little unreasonable to ask someone to accompany you because many people are in front of you." Peifang said: "You don't understand, Don't ask. He is not a gift, he is asking Yufen to borrow money!" Peng Zhen said: "If you can't afford to lose, don't come. Why do you borrow money to gamble like this?" When Pei Fang said , Yufen had been gesticulating at her for a long time.At this moment, Zi Pengzhen thinks that Yanxi wants to borrow gambling money, and Peifang will make mistakes, but he doesn't say anything further.Yanxi also knew that Yufen was rich and would not tell Pengzhen, so she just smiled vaguely and did not argue.Peng Zhen said: "How much do you want? I'll lend you." After speaking, he took out a roll of banknotes on his body, threw it on the table, and said, "This is one hundred. Pay me back if you have to. You can’t keep the money in your hands, and if you don’t pay me back, you’ll waste it in half a day.” Pei Fang laughed and said, “Third son, look at you like this, you’ve won the money.” Peng Zhendao: "That's also limited. In the hundred, I still have my capital." Yanxi took the money, smiled and played cards as usual.Standing behind her, Yufen couldn't help laughing.Huichang said with a smile: "When one's luck comes, it's easy to get rich. I thought the incident of the fat pig arching the door was just a joke. Unexpectedly, there is such a thing in the world." Some doubts, she asked Yanxi, "Didn't you play cards by yourself?" Yufen hurriedly said, "Why don't you play cards by yourself? He likes to gamble, just like you." Peng Zhen said, "I'm afraid I don't know." Well, I can see it too. This seat is yours. You probably lost, so ask him to play a few games for you, right?" Yufen knew she couldn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Yes, I asked him to play for me Playing cards. You made a mistake and took out the money, do you still have the nerve to take it back?" Peng Zhen smiled and said: "I saw that Lao Qi lost, so I kindly lent him money to top up, did I go bad?" Yufen said: "I didn't say that you did something bad. But I play cards, if you borrow some money and I'll top it up, that's nothing. You must take it back. I'm really too embarrassed to extend my hand." Peng Zhen She smiled and said, "That's the way to do it. But if you win, the money has to be returned to me." Yufen laughed and said, "Okay, just wait." Looking at the situation, Peng Zhen couldn't get the money back.Then he laughed and said, "I have nothing else to do, I just hope to win and return the property to its original owner." After finishing speaking, he walked to the opposite door of the bedroom.I saw a section of Xiangfei's bamboo fan handle protruding from the pile of papers in the silk net of the letters on the bookshelf in the room.When I saw it, my heart skipped a beat, and I quickly picked it up. It was the folding fan that Chen Yufang gave Yanxi.He said to himself: "Lao Qi is really careless. Why did you put this fan here? If that one saw it, it would be fine!" Taking the fan, he wanted to put it in the crack of the pile of books. stuffed.Suddenly someone said from behind: "What are you stuffing? I have seen it a long time ago. This is not a gift from Xiaodan.

When Yanxi heard this, she just smiled.After the card game was over, I went to sleep alone in the study, thinking of what Runzhi said, which made sense. You see, although the eldest brother is not afraid of his sister-in-law, he has to hide some things in front of her.Needless to say, the second brother, seeing the second sister-in-law is like a Mongolian student meeting his husband, there is nothing he can do.As for the third brother, he has a good relationship with the third sister-in-law, but he still suffers from the third sister-in-law's nails everywhere.I will marry Qingqiu in the future, can it be like this?In any case, I think I have to cheer myself up first, so as not to grow the prestige of others.I think the reason why the husband is afraid of his wife is partly because the woman is ignorant and nagging so much that he doesn't bother to argue with her.Some are because they love their wife in their hearts and don't want to embarrass her, preferring to be wronged by themselves.Some of them want her help because their wife is capable, and dare not offend her.Of the above three items, the first category should be the most, the third category should be the least, and the second category should be no more and no less.As for me, I am afraid that I will fail on this second level.As he thought about it himself, it seemed inevitable.But this kind of thing is also transferred by the attitude of the opponent. If the opponent is not a shrew, a shrew, a slut, as long as there is some docile virtue, the more obsessed with her, the more sincere and sincere he will appear, and he should be subject to it. Men's influence is.If a man has a deep love for his wife, but it ends in a fear of guilt, wouldn't all men in the world dare not love his wife?After thinking about it, he thought that his fiancée was very gentle, and never had such vile traits as aggressiveness and lazyness.When we get married in the future, we can set an example for our brothers and sisters-in-law.When I have free time, I would like to go to the park with Qingqiu, talk to her about this, and see what she says?I think she must have smiled and said nothing.He kept this riddle in his heart and thought about it all night.

On the next day, I just washed my face, took a sip of tea, and didn't eat any snacks, so I went to Luohua Hutong.His car was shared with his sisters, and it happened that Minzhi woke up early and left in the car.Yanxi called the footman and hired a rickshaw to ride.When I got there, I felt that I hadn't seen that person for two days, and I was a little worried.Walking slowly to the courtyard of Leng's house, she first shouted: "Is Mr. Song at home?" Song Runqing quickly pushed the door open, stretched out half of her body, and said with a smile: "At home, at home." Yanxi said Then he came over and said, "It rained heavily last night. We played cards all night at home." Song Runqing said, "It's strange. I went to your place yesterday, but it was quiet inside." Yanxi Said: "I'm very welcome, what's the matter?" Song Runqing said: "Every day and two, I plan to go to Tianjin, and there will be a delay of about ten days. I hope my brother will take care of the matter here. "Yanxi said: "Is there any need to talk about it? When will Mr. Song leave?" Song Runqing said: "I planned to leave today, because I haven't asked for leave in the yamen. I'm afraid I will leave the day after tomorrow." Xi smiled and said, "Then, it's time to see Mr. Song." Song Runqing said, "I'll come back after a few days. What's the matter?" Drink two cups. What do you think?" Song Runqing said: "Then I can accompany you." Yanxi said: "Otherwise, ask them to bring the food here, and ask Aunt Leng to drink two cups too." Song Runqing said: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Yanxi said, "It's not too troublesome, just ask the cook to add two more dishes." As Yanxi said, she went to the yard and shouted, "Auntie! I've prepared some food tonight. Food, please have a light meal. You don’t need to go to my side, I’ll ask them to bring it over.” As he spoke, he looked inside and saw Qingqiu sitting under the glass window reading a book.Hearing the words, he looked up and saw that Yanxi was smiling at her.She ignored it and lowered her head again.Yanxi thought: Weird!In this way, she is very cold, what's the matter to be angry?But Mrs. Leng replied from behind the curtain: "Jin Qiye, why are you bothering?" Yanxi said: "It's nothing to worry about, it's just a simple meal." As he spoke, he deliberately moved his feet forward until he reached the eaves of the corridor down.The more Qingqiu knew that he was approaching, the more he refused to raise his head.Yanxi stood for a while, feeling bored, so she walked away.Seeing Han Ma washing clothes in the yard, he winked at her and told her to come forward.Yanxi waited under the small door, nodding to Mama Han.Mother Han wiped her hands with the blue cloth apron on her body and said with a smile, "She's angry, you know? I said, Qi Ye, you have to go to the main road to deal with this matter earlier, so as not to worry about me. Yanxi laughed and said, "Why did you suddenly bring up this sentence today?" Mother Han said, "She is also thinking about it like this. When I see her like that, I am very worried. Think about it, at this point Situation, can this matter be put on hold?" Yanxi said: "If she wants to worry again, you can tell her, I'm thinking of something, and I will talk about it soon." Han Ma said: "Then Dare be kind, I have to drink your wedding wine." Yanxi smiled and asked: "Is that what she is worried about?" Mother Han said: "Always, no one in the family has offended her." Yanxi Xi said: "That's it, we'll be fine if we eat dinner together later, it doesn't matter." Seeing what he said, Han's mother still went to wash the clothes.Yanxi lowered her head and walked back slowly.

At around six o'clock in the evening, the cook from Yanxi's side brought the food and wine here.Song Runqing at least refused to refuse food and drink, so he asked the cook to send them to the main room above.Han Ma wiped the table, arranged the food and wine on the table, and the cook left.Yanxi also came over and asked her aunt to sit down repeatedly.Mrs. Leng had no choice but to come out, but said in her mouth: "Why bother you repeatedly?" Yanxi said: "Auntie, don't say such things, it's a joke to talk about such a small thing. Seeing that Qingqiu hadn't come out, Song Runqing said, "Why hasn't the eldest girl come out yet?" Mrs. Leng's affection for him was a little stronger because of Yanxi's help of several hundred dollars last time.He also said: "We don't have to be polite at all, you come and sit down too." Qingqiu heard what his uncle and mother had said, so he had no choice but to come out.When she met Yanxi, she could only call Mr. Jin in front of people.Mrs. Leng sat opposite Song Runqing.That Qingqiu's eyes did not look directly at Yanxi, but with a straight face, which seemed to be a little angry.Yanxi was eating at the banquet, and tried to win her over with words many times, but she always kept her head down and ignored her.Yanxi thought about it carefully, yes, I went back the day before yesterday, and she knew that I was going to meet Xiuzhu.Yesterday, I didn't have a face-to-face meeting, and my behavior was even more strange. She probably suspected that I had been with Xiuzhu for the past two days.Then he said to Mrs. Leng: "Auntie, the rain last night was not small." Mrs. Leng said: "No, the water on the house is like pouring down from a ladle." Yanxi said: "Because of this, the streets are completely dry." I have to come out, but I can't." Hearing this, Qingqiu only glanced at Yanxi, and still ate with her head down.After eating, she left first.Yanxi said yes, but I don't know if she will believe it or not?If you look at that situation, it is very disapproving.After eating and chatting for a while, Yanxi went back there and wrote a letter to her privately.When Mama Han came out, he handed it to her and brought it in.This night, each of them had their own concerns, so they couldn't be silent. Everyone was eagerly looking forward to how to solve it tomorrow.
