Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

The.

************************************************** *******************

A group of people arrived at the pavilion, the outside was the theater stage, the stove had already been burned inside, the lily incense was smoked inside, and brand new mats were laid out. There was a high table in the front circle, and teacups with green lotus patterns and various snacks were placed on it.Mrs. Chai and Li were also surrounded by people from the upper room, and after some humility, they sat down separately. There was already a young woman playing a pipa and singing a ditty.

Mrs. Chai and Li sat at the head, looked at Mrs. Chai and asked in a low voice:

"Did you know that the concubine in your sibling's yard suddenly became popular?"

"That's right," Mrs. Chai Wang nodded, and replied in a low voice, "But I think my brother and sister are blessed, and there must be no mistakes. I just sent two old housekeepers who have passed through the accident to see. Let them come and report something."

"That's fine, even though it's the first heir in the second child's yard, it's not the way of our family to make a fuss over a concubine, let alone today... just let them come and tell them if they have something to do."

A pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were full of laughter, and the female guests next to them turned a deaf ear, and presented a list of operas underneath. Naturally, there was no Peking opera at this time, but it was tricks or storytelling plays. Chai and Li let the guests, and those few Thank you, each ordered a few lively and festive ones, and let the next one play first.

While watching the play, a grey-haired old woman walked over quickly with the help of the girl, and muttered with Chai Li's girl outside the pavilion for a long time before she stopped honestly.Pan Jinlian saw that she was waiting outside and there seemed to be sweat on the tip of her nose. The girl hurried in and said a few words in Chai Li's ear. Chai Li nodded, and then smiled and said to the female guests:

"The children at home have never seen the world, so they come to tell me little things in such a panic. I am here and you are not having fun. Besides, I should take medicine. Let the birthday star accompany you. There is only one thing, which is necessary today. Just have fun."

Everyone at the table hurriedly got up and gave way again. Mrs. Chai Wang ordered someone to serve hot wine. After all, everyone made a toast first. After Mrs. Chai Li drank it, she called Pan Jinlian again:

"Chai Wu's family is pregnant and can't drink, so follow me too, just waiting for me to take medicine. It's the same with your sister-in-law when you are by my side."

Pan Jinlian was tired of sitting, so she got up quickly, said goodbye to several female guests, then saluted Chai Wang, and then slowly followed Chai and Li out of the pavilion.Mrs. Chai and Li looked at the crowd and watched the show and ate wine, and said slowly:

"Do you know that something serious happened in your second sister-in-law's yard?"

"I only thought that the second sister-in-law had something to do in the yard, so she didn't come to socialize. I really can't think of what it is."

Pan Jinlian supported Chai and Li, and replied with a low smile.

Chai Lishi nodded:

"It's good to be stupid in our family, but in the future, when you become the master of your own house, you have to watch and think more—the concubine in your second sister-in-law's yard, named Yan Hong, suddenly had a stomachache and was already popular just now."

Bright red?Pan Jinlian recalled that she seemed to have met by chance, seeing a very powerful woman, she was the only concubine among the concubines in the second master's room of the Chai family, she did not expect that something went wrong at this time.Thinking in my heart, I hurriedly answered:

"I've seen it before, and I'm blessed to see it. I didn't expect this to happen."

"In this case, follow me to see, after all, it is also the flesh and blood of the Chai family."

"Yes."

The two of them led a group of gorgeous women behind them to the Chai Lin family's yard, and saw a housekeeper's wife of the Chai family running up the aisle, shouting as she ran:

"Ma'am, it's not good...it's not good, then, Yan Hong, Yan Hong, is dead!"

55 violent death

Yan Hong died, quietly.

Chai Li went to Chai Lin's courtyard and asked the doctor through the screen, while Pan Jinlian stood aside and listened.What the doctor said was cloudy and misty, and in the end he only said that it was a miscarriage, hemorrhage and died, and the child died when he fell to the ground.

Chai Li sighed after hearing this:

"It's been seven months, and it's really unlucky. It would be great if it was born, or... Forget it, it's useless to say these things now."

As he said that, he asked the daughter-in-law below to give the doctor a few strings of money, as well as a few ends of silk and satin, a box of snacks and birthday peaches, and told him not to talk nonsense when he went outside, so he let people go.

Chai Lin's eyes were red from crying, and he sobbed and said:

"Why is my life so hard! A good boy just disappeared like this. Could it be that I did something wrong in my previous life? I usually grow up in the temple offering incense and offering money and porridge when I go out. Why did I go out?" such a thing?"

Mrs. Chai and Li have seen this kind of thing a lot in the house, so she didn't panic, she just drank tea and ordered:

"It's useless to talk about it now. Let someone clean it up first. I don't think you need to wait for the second master to come back. You can call that Yanhong's family and reward them with money and other items. Let them take them home and bury them." .By the way, things that see blood are unlucky, so you don't have to be stingy, just give all the furniture and clothes in Yan Hong's house to her family, and you must not keep them for yourself, lest the whole family will suffer bad luck."

Chai Lin hurriedly got up to answer, and asked again:

"Do you want to ask the office worker in the yamen to have a look? Although Yanhong's deed of prostitution is in our house, what should we do if there is trouble in their house?"

"It's absolutely impossible. The yamen is full of money and blood. It's hard to tell when we get there. I don't think Yan Hong's family would dare to make trouble. Since she bought her daughter back then, what face does she have to come to our house to make trouble? The quarrel is just to get some more money, you can give more if you decide, after all, she has served you for several years, so she must have some credit."

"It's natural. I usually treat her as my own sister. When she loses me, she's in a mess and has nowhere to go."

Then Chai Lin saw a smile, got up and replied.Chai Lin's housewife at the side smiled and said:

"Ma'am knows that our young lady has always been generous and gentle, and I'm afraid that Yan Hong's plague-stricken old woman will make an inch of her. What should I do? Our young lady is shy..."

"That's nonsense, do you want your young lady to talk to Yan Hong's house in person!" Mrs. Chai and Li raised her brows slightly, looked at the companion with a half stare, and reprimanded, "It's Yan Hong's old lady who is here. Naturally, you housekeepers and daughters-in-law came forward to speak. What kind of people are they? Do you want the young lady to see you in person? If you make sense, it will be over if you pay the money. If you pinch it, there is nothing to be afraid of, just type it out and finish the job."

Pan Jinlian's heart sank, it's always a life, since Yan Hong's family is willing to sell their daughter, as long as the price is enough, they will naturally not care about their daughter's life.Thinking about it, I don't think Yan Hong is a bit pitiful, she persuaded with a smile:

"In my opinion, even though she is a concubine, she still has to work outside. Yan Hong's family would rather give her less and buy her a piece of good birthday material, and then give her a neat set of jewelry and clothes. Find Mr. Yin Yang to order a grave, Let outsiders see it, who can not say that our Chai family is a benevolent family? One is to comfort the spirit of the dead in heaven, and it is also to stop the mouths of the world. If the Yanhong family wants to make trouble, others will definitely not believe it."

Mrs. Chai and Li were silent when she heard this, but Mrs. Chai Lin was stunned for a long time, and said:

"I was thinking the same way. Yan Hong's old lady is out of tune. Even if we rewarded [-] million yuan, we would let them drink and eat. How can we be kind to Yan Hong? Why don't we buy a coffin from the Chai family? I couldn't make the clothes in time, so I picked bright clothes that she didn't wear very much on weekdays, and then I bought a set of silver emerald jewelry to wear, while I went directly to Mr. Feng Shui to find a good place, and stayed at Yan Hong's house If people come to take a look, let them carry it there and bury it, which is simple and not insignificant, Madam, how about it?"

"Alright, Yanhong is different from the other concubines. She finally did her best for the Chai family. You are doing your best by doing this. Let's do it this way."

Chai Lin hurriedly nodded in agreement, and asked the two daughters-in-law who followed Yan Hong to help clean up her room, while someone immediately sent a message to the steward, and slid down through the screen to order: Find Mr. Feng Shui, buy coffin jewelry, and let someone go Looking for Yanhong's family.

"Find decent people who can talk, and tell them slowly, don't scare them."

He also asked people to come in and out through the corner gate, so as not to disturb the banquet in the front yard:

"Today is a good day for my sister-in-law. Don't let her see you, so as to save yourself from bad luck. Even the people around Yanhong don't need to wear mourning—let Yanhong's family members come in through the back door."

************************************************** ****************

Pan Jinlian followed Chai and Li's words of comfort, and seeing the panic in the yard, they all got up and left. When they reached the moon gate branch, Chai and Li went back to the room to rest with her maid and daughter-in-law. Pan Jinlian After seeing a group of them go far away, they turned around and turned into Chaoshou Corridor.

Seeing the small black lacquered door of her yard from a distance, Ying'er was standing at the door knocking melon seeds, when she saw Pan Jinlian's figure, she hurried out and said with a smile:

"Young lady, I just watched a good show. Why did it take so long? I was sitting on the stove with stewed duck breast and pork shreds from the kitchen, but I ate it when it looked like it was going to be mushy ..."

Pan Jinlian smiled and tapped her little head, this girl also
