It is said that Xiangling's words are not finished yet, Jingui listened, twisted his neck, curled his lips, made two snorts in his nostrils, clapped his hands and sneered: "Who has heard the fragrance of water chestnut flowers?"If the water chestnut is fragrant, where are those fragrant flowers placed?But it doesn't make sense!Xiangling said: "Not only water chestnut flowers, but also lotus leaf lotus pods have a delicate fragrance."But it is not comparable to the fragrance of flowers. If you take a closer look at the quiet day and night, or early in the morning and midnight, the fragrance is better than flowers.Even water chestnuts, chicken heads, reed leaves, and reed roots get wind and dew, and the fragrance is refreshing.Jingui said: "According to you, the orchid and osmanthus are not very fragrant?"When Xiangling talked about the excitement, he forgot the taboo, and said: the fragrance of orchids and sweet-scented osmanthus is not comparable to the fragrance of other flowers.

Before the sentence was finished, Jingui's maid named Baochan hurriedly pointed to Xiangling's face and said: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"How dare you call the girl by her name!Xiangling saves it suddenly, but she feels embarrassed, and quickly apologizes with a smile, saying: "It's easy to say for a while, grandma don't care about it."Jingui smiled and said: "What's the matter, you are too careful."But I just think that the word "Xiang" is inappropriate, and the meaning needs to be changed to another word. I don't know if you accept it or not?Xiangling hurriedly laughed and said: "What did grandma say, even my body and body belong to grandma at this moment, why change my name and ask me if I am not convinced, how can I be worthy of it!"Use whichever word grandma says is good.Jingui smiled and said: "Although you are right, I'm afraid that the girl is over-hearted and says that the name I gave is not as good as yours. You can come here for a few days before you refute my answer!"Xiangling smiled and said: "Grandma doesn't know. When she bought me that day, she was ordered by her. That's why the girl got her name."Later, since I served the master, I have nothing to do with the girl.Now that I have a grandma again, I have nothing to do with girls.Besides, the girl is a very understanding person, how can she get so annoyed.Jingui said: "Since you say this, the word Xiang is not as proper as the word Qiu."The water chestnut and water chestnut flowers all flourish in autumn, so isn't it better than the word "Xiang"?Xiangling said, "Just follow Grandma's example."Since then, the word "autumn" has been changed, and Baochai doesn't care.

Just because Xue Pan's nature is to look forward to Shu, and now he has to marry Jingui, and seeing that Jingui's maid, Baochan, has three points of beauty, and her demeanor is frivolous and cute, she often asks for tea and water, deliberately teasing him.Although Baochan can solve the problem, he is just afraid of Jingui and dare not make mistakes, and looks at Jingui's eyes.Jin Gui was also quite aware of his intentions, thinking: He was about to manipulate Xiangling, and he had nowhere to find a gap. Now that he has taken a fancy to Baochan, and now he gives up Baochan to be with him, he must be estranged from Xiangling. When he was estranged, he manipulated Xiangling.At that time, Baochan was originally my man, so it was good.I made up my mind and waited for the opportunity.

On this day, Xue Pan was a little drunk at night, and ordered Baochan to pour tea to eat.When Xue Pan took the bowl, he purposely pinched her hand.Baochan pretended to dodge again, and quickly withdrew his hands.He made two mistakes, and with a clang, the tea bowl fell to the ground, spilling tea all over his body.Xue Pan was embarrassed, and pretended that Baochan was not easy to hold.Baochan said: My uncle is not good at giving birth.Jingui sneered and said: The tone of both of them is enough.Don't look at who is a fool!Xue Pan bowed his head and smiled silently, Baochan blushed and went out.For a while, when he was resting, Jingui deliberately drove Xue Pan to sleep elsewhere, so as not to make you hungry.Xue Pan just laughed.Jingui said: Tell me what you want to do, don't be sneaky and useless.Xue Pan listened, covered his face with wine, took advantage of the situation and knelt on the quilt and pulled Jingui with a smile: "My dear sister, if you want to reward me with Baochan, you can do whatever you want."If you want a living person's brain, I will get it for you.Jingui laughed and said, "That doesn't make any sense."Who do you love, explain it, and keep it in the room, so as not to be looked down upon by others.What can I want!When Xue Pan heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't thank him enough. It was night, and he did his best to flatter Jingui.He didn't go out the next day, just stayed at home, and became more and more daring.

In the afternoon, Jingui went out on purpose, leaving the two of them alone.Xue Pan began to tug and tug.Baochan knew it well in his heart, so he half-pushed and was about to enter Hong Kong.Who knows that Jingui is waiting for it, and when it is difficult to separate, she asks the girl Xiaosheer to come over.It turned out that this little girl was also used by Jingui at home since she was a child. Because her parents died since she was a child, and no one was looking after her, everyone called her a small sher, and lived a rough life.Now Jingui wanted to call her alone, and ordered: "Go and tell Xiangling, come to my room and get the handkerchief, don't tell me what I said."After hearing this, Xiao She'er looked for Xiangling all the way, and said, "Miss Ling, grandma's handkerchief is forgotten in the house."Wouldn't it be good for you to pick it up and send it up?

Xiangling is because of Jin Gui's frequent setbacks in recent days.I don't know what it means, but I try my best to save it.After hearing this, he hurried to the room to get it.Unexpectedly, just as the two of them were pushing, he bumped into it, his ears flushed with embarrassment, and he hurriedly turned around to avoid it.That Xue Pan thought he had crossed the Ming Road, and there was no one to be afraid of except Jingui, so he didn't even cover the door. Seeing Xiangling bumping into him now, he felt a little ashamed and didn't care much.Helplessly, Baochan used to say that his mouth should be strong, but when he met Xiangling, he hated that there was nowhere to go, so he hurriedly pushed Xue Pan away, and ran away, still resentful, saying that he was raped and forceful. Etc.Xue Pan tried so hard to coax him to start, but was scattered by Xiangling. His excitement turned into anger, and it was all on Xiangling. He couldn't say anything, so he rushed out and spat twice, cursing: "Damn whore!" , what are you doing now to beat corpses and wandering souls!Xiangling's material is not good, and he has already run away in three steps and two steps.Xue Pan came to look for Baochan again, but he was nowhere to be found, so he hated and only scolded Xiangling.After dinner, he was already drunk, and when he took a bath, it was a little hot and his feet were scalded, so he said that Xiangling intended to harm him, so he kicked and beat Xiangling twice while naked.Although Xiangling had never suffered from this kind of qi, at this moment, she couldn't say anything, so she could only feel sorry for herself and went away.

At that time, Jingui had secretly explained to Baochan that Xue Pan and Baochan were ordered to marry in Xiangling's room tonight, and Xiangling was ordered to come and sleep with her.First, Xiangling refused, but Jingui said she thought it was dirty, and then she must be looking for comfort, afraid of working and serving at night, and then scolded: "Your master who has never seen the world, when you see one loves the other, you will occupy me. I didn't ask you to come again.What is the idea, it must be forcing me to die.After Xue Pan heard this, he was afraid of making troubles about Baochan, so he rushed to scold Xiangling again: "I don't know how to flatter you!"If you don't go, you will fight!Xiangling had no choice but to pack the bedding.Jingui ordered her to sleep on the basement bunk.Xiangling had no choice but to obey his orders.As soon as he fell asleep, he called to pour tea, and sometimes he called to beat his legs. If he did it seven or eight times a night, he couldn't make him lie comfortably for a while.When Xue Pan got the treasure toad, he ignored it as if he got a treasure.Jin Gui secretly hated and said: Let me make you happy these few days, when I slowly manipulate you, then don't blame me!While forbearing, while planning to manipulate Xiangling.

In the middle of the moon, he suddenly pretended to be sick again, only saying that his heart ached unbearably and his limbs could not move.Seeking medical treatment didn't work, everyone said it was Xiangling Qi.After two days of quarreling, a paper doll suddenly came out from Jingui's pillow. On it was written Jingui's horoscope for the year of Geng, and five needles were nailed into the heart and joints of the limbs.So the people rebelled and reported it to Aunt Xue first as news.Aunt Xue was in a hurry first; Xue Pan naturally became more chaotic and wanted to torture everyone immediately.Jingui laughed and said: "Why bother to wrong everyone, it's probably Baochan's method of suppressing nightmares."Xue Pan said: "She doesn't have much time to stay in your room these days, why bother relying on a good person?"Jingui sneered and said: "Who else is there besides her, could it be that I can't do it myself!"Although there are others, who will dare to enter my room?Xue Pan said: "Xiangling is following you every day now, she naturally knows, first torture her and you will know."Jingui sneered and said, "Who is to be tortured, who will admit it?"According to me, I pretended not to know, and everyone just threw away their hands.It doesn't matter if you put me to death anyway, I'm happy to marry again.According to conscience, there are only three of you who hate me more than one.As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Xue Pan was even more enraged by this remark, he grabbed a door bolt and rushed all the way to find Xiangling, he couldn't explain it and started a fight, insisting that it was Xiangling who did it.Xiangling cried out, Aunt Xue ran over, stopped drinking and said, "If you don't ask to understand, you will beat someone up."This girl has served you for the past few years, what is not thoughtful and dedicated?How could she be willing to do such a heartless thing now!Just ask me clearly, and then make a rough move.Hearing what his mother-in-law said, Jingui was afraid that Xue Pan'er would be soft-hearted, so she burst into tears, crying again: "For more than half a month, my treasure toad has been taken away, and she is not allowed to enter my room." , only Xiangling slept with me.I'm going to torture Baochan, but you're protecting me again.Now you are angry and beat her again.Put me to death, and just choose a rich and beautiful one to marry, why bother to make these tricks!Xue Pan became more anxious after hearing these words.

Aunt Xue heard that Jin Gui was coercing her son with every sentence, and she was very hateful.But his son is not stubborn, he is used to being coerced by her.Now he hooked up with the girl again, and she claimed to have taken over her, but he wanted to take advantage of the gift of tenderness.I don't know who did this nightmare magic. It is really a common saying that it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework.Therefore, he had no choice but to scold Xue Pan in a fit of anger, saying: You unworthy evil!Saogou is more decent than you!Who would have thought that you would have groped for the housekeeper girl without knowing it, and told your wife to say that you took the girl, so why go out to meet people!I don't know who made it, and I beat people without asking whether it's good or bad.I know that you are something new and old, and you have failed my heart back then.She's not good, so you're not allowed to hit her. I'll call Renfangzi to sell her right away, and you'll be relieved.Saying that, he ordered Xiangling to pack up his things and come with me, while calling someone: Go!Quickly call someone for teeth, sell them for a few taels of silver, pull out the thorns in the flesh and the thorns in the eyes, and everyone will live in peace.

Seeing his mother getting angry, Xue Pan lowered his head.After Jingui heard this, she cried out through the window: You old man just sells people, you don't have to talk about one or the other.Are we the ones who are jealous and bitter and can't tolerate others?How to pull out the thorn in the flesh, the thorn in the eye?Whose nail, whose thorn?Even if Fan Duo disliked her, he also refused to keep my girl in the room.When Aunt Xue heard about it, she was so angry that she gasped and said, "Whose rule is this?"The mother-in-law talks here, and the daughter-in-law bickers through the window.Fortunately, you are the daughter of the old family!Shouting and yelling, what are you talking about!Xue Pan stomped his feet anxiously and said, "Come on, go on!"Watch people hear jokes.Jingui meant that if you don't do anything, you don't stop, and you shouted louder and louder, saying: I am not afraid of people making fun of me!Your little wife treats me and harms me, so I'm afraid people will make fun of me?Otherwise, if you keep her, you'll sell me!Who doesn't know that your Xue family is rich, you use money to support others, and you have good relatives, coercing others.If you don't act early, what are you waiting for?Don't think I'm good, who told you to be blind, and ran away to our house with repeated begging and four accusations!At this time, people have also come, the gold and silver have also lost, and the ones with a little eyes and noses have also taken over. It's time to squeeze me out!While crying and shouting, while rolling and rubbing, he slapped himself.Xue Pan was so anxious that it was not good to say, it was not good to persuade, it was not good to beat, and it was not good to beg. He just coughed and sighed in and out, complaining that he was not lucky. At present, Aunt Xue was persuaded by Xue Baochai to go in, so she ordered someone to sell Xiangling.Baochai laughed and said, "Our family only knows how to buy people, but not how to sell people."Mom is so confused, it would be a joke if people heard her.My elder brother and sister-in-law thought she was not good, so they kept me around, but I had no one to do anything about her.Aunt Xue said: "It's still naughty to keep her, it's better to get rid of her."Baochai laughed and said, "It's the same for her to follow me. Anyway, don't ask her to go ahead."Since then, he has been cut off from him, as if he had been sold.Xiangling had already run to Aunt Xue, crying and begging, but she didn't want to go out, she preferred to follow the girl, so Aunt Xue had no choice but to do so. Since then, Xianglinguo has followed Baochai and cut off the path ahead.Even so, I can't help but feel sad for the moon and sigh to myself.Originally cowardly, although she lived in Xue Pan's room for several years, she was sick in her blood, so she was not pregnant.Now I am angry and sad again, and I am frustrated internally and externally, which leads to the disease of dry blood. I am getting thinner and have a fever, and I am lazy in eating. I asked a doctor to see me and take medicine, but it didn't work. At that time, Jingui quarreled several times, and Aunt Xue, mother and daughter were so angry that they wept secretly, resenting their fate.Although Xue Pan used to rely on his gallbladder, he bumped into him two or three times, and when he wanted to hit him with a stick, the golden osmanthus was handed over to him, and he screamed at will; here, when he wanted to kill with a knife, he stretched out his neck.Xue Pan really couldn't do anything, so he had to make a fuss for a while.Now that the habit has become natural, Jingui has become more majestic and Xue Pan has become weaker.Although Xiangling is still there, it is as if she is not there. Although she can't be very happy, she doesn't feel it is an eyesore, so let's ignore it. In this way, they gradually searched for Baochan.But Baochan is not as temperamental as Xiangling, he is more of a fiery firewood, since he agrees with Xue Pan, he forgets about Jingui.Seeing Jingui humiliating her again, she refused to give in.At first there was a violent bickering, and then Jingui became anxious, and even scolded, and then hit.Although she didn't dare to fight back, she was violent, turned around, looking for death and life, using knives and scissors during the day, and ropes at night, making troubles everywhere.At this moment, Xue Pan couldn't look at the two, but he wandered between them, and he couldn't help but go out and hide in the outer compartment.Jingui doesn't lose her temper, and sometimes she is happy, so she gathers people to play cards and throw dice for fun.He also likes to gnaw bones the most in his life. He kills chickens and ducks every day, and rewards people for eating the meat. He only eats fried bones with his wine.When I get impatient with eating, or get angry, I will curse and say: there are other people who forget to eat rice noodles, why am I not happy!Xue's mother and daughter always ignored her.Xue Pan has no other choice, but regrets day and night that he shouldn't marry this troublemaker, because he just ran out of ideas for a while.So the people in the two houses of Ning and Rong went up and down, knowing everything and sighing. At this time, Baoyu had passed a hundred days and went out for a walk.I have also come here before, and I have seen Jingui, her demeanor is not strange, she is usually a person with flowers and tender willows, who is on the same level as all the sisters, it is extremely strange how she has such a temperament.Therefore, I wondered.On this day, I went to pay my respects with Mrs. Wang, and I met Yingchun's nanny who came to pay her respects. It was very improper to talk about Sun Shaozu: the girl only shed tears behind her back, as long as she took her home for two days.Mrs. Wang said: "I was going to pick her up in these two days, but because I didn't go well with seven or eight things, I forgot."My son Baoyu went away before, and he said it when he came back.Tomorrow is a good day, so I will pick her up.Just as she was talking, Jia Mu sent someone to look for Baoyu and said, "I will go to Tianqi Temple to fulfill my wish tomorrow morning."Baoyu is now eager to go shopping everywhere. Hearing this, he is so happy that he never closes his eyes all night, hoping for something unknown. Early the next morning, after washing and dressing, I followed two or three old mothers and went out to Tianqi Temple outside the west city gate by car to burn incense and fulfill my vows.The temple was prepared yesterday.Baoyu was timid by nature and did not dare to get close to the ferocious statues of gods and ghosts.On this day, Qi Temple was originally built by the previous dynasty, and it is extremely magnificent.Now this year is very old and extremely desolate.The clay statues inside are all extremely vicious, so they hurriedly offered paper horses, money and food, and then retreated to the monastery to rest.For a while, after dinner, all the nuns, Li Gui and others surrounded Baoyu and played around for a while.Baoyu was sleepy and returned to the quiet room to rest.All the nuns were afraid that he would fall asleep, so they invited the Taoist priest Wang who was in charge to talk with him.This old Wang Daoist specializes in selling medicines in the rivers and lakes, doing some things on the sea to rule people and shoot them. There are signboards hanging outside the temple, pills, powders, ointments, pills, all kinds of colors, and they often walk around Ning and Rong. They are used to it, and they all call him a nickname with him, calling him the king's plaster, saying that his plaster is effective, which means that all diseases can be cured with one paste.When Wang Yitie came in, Baoyu was leaning on the kang and wanted to sleep, and Li Gui and others were telling his brother not to fall asleep, but to hang out.Seeing Wang Yitie coming in, they all laughed and said: Well done, well done.Master Wang, you are very good at talking about ancient records, tell me about it and listen to our young master.Wang Yitie smiled and said: Exactly.Brother, don't sleep, watch out for the muscles in your belly.As he spoke, everyone in the room laughed. Baoyu also smiled and got up to get dressed.Wang Yitie ordered his apprentices to make some strong tea quickly.Mingyan said: "Our master doesn't drink your tea, even sitting in this room, he still thinks it smells like plaster."Wang Yitie said with a smile: "If you are not in charge of the house, plasters are never brought into this house."Knowing that my brother will come today, I smoked it with incense in the first three to five days.Baoyu said: "But, I only hear that your plaster is good every day. What kind of disease does it cure?"Wang Yitie said: "Brother, if you ask about my plaster, it will be a long story, but the details are difficult to explain in one word."There are a total of 120 flavors of medicine, which are suitable for the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and are suitable for guests.Internally, it adjusts vital energy and invigorates qi, improves appetite, nourishes body and mind, calms the mind, dispels cold and summer heat, dissolves food and resolves phlegm; externally regulates blood vessels, relaxes tendons and collaterals, releases dead muscles, regenerates new flesh, and dispels wind and disperses toxins.Its effect is like a god, and those who have posted it will know it.Baoyu said: "I don't believe that a plaster can cure these diseases."Let me ask you, there is a kind of disease, but can it be posted well?Wang Yitie said: "There are thousands of diseases and disasters, and all of them will take effect."If it doesn't work, how about pulling my beard, hitting my old face, and tearing down my temple?Just say the source of the disease.Baoyu laughed and said, "Guess, if you can guess it, you can post it."Wang Yitie heard this, thought for a while, and smiled: "It's hard to guess, I'm afraid the plaster is not effective.Baoyu ordered Li Gui and others: "Go out and relax."There are so many people in this room, the smell of steam is getting worse.When Li Gui and others heard about it, they all went out to enjoy themselves, leaving Mingyan alone.The tea smoke was lit with a dream sweet fragrance in his hand. Baoyu ordered him to sit beside him, but leaned on him.As soon as Wang was moved by his intimacy, he approached with a smile and said quietly: "I guessed it."I think it's because my brother has something in the house now, and he needs the medicine to help, isn't it? Before the words were finished, Mingyan yelled first: Damn it, slap your mouth!Baoyu still didn't understand, so he hurriedly asked, "What did he say?"Mingyan said: Believe his nonsense!Wang Yitie was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and just said: "Brother, let's talk about it."Baoyu said, "Let me ask you, is there any prescription for women's jealousy?"When Wang Yitie heard about it, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: That's all.Not only did they say that there was no prescription, but they even heard of it.Baoyu laughed and said, "This is nothing."Wang Yitie hurriedly said again: The plaster for jealousy has not been used, but there is a kind of decoction, which may be curable, but it will be slower and will not have an immediate effect.Baoyu said, "What soup and medicine?"How to eat?Wang Yitie said: "This is called healing jealousy soup. Use one excellent autumn pear, two yuan of rock sugar, one yuan of tangerine peel, three bowls of water, and the degree of ripeness of the pear. Eat such a pear every morning. Eat it over and over again, it will make you feel better." alright.Baoyu said: "It's not worth anything, I'm afraid it may not be effective."Wang Yitie said: If one dose doesn't work, take ten doses; if it doesn't work today, take it tomorrow; if it doesn't work this year, take it until next year.Anyway, these three medicines are moistening the lungs and appetizing, not hurting people, sweet, relieve cough, and delicious.After eating a hundred years, a person is going to die anyway, so why be jealous after death!It worked then.As he said that, Baoyu Mingyan couldn't stop laughing, scolding the glib bull!Wang Yitie laughed and said: "It's just taking a nap in idleness, what's the matter?"Just kidding you, it's worth the money.I tell you the truth, even plasters are fake.I have real medicine, and I even took it to become a god.Really, come here to hang around?Just as he was talking, the auspicious time had come. Please Baoyu go out, burn money and food, and spread blessings.After finishing his homework, Fang went to the city to go home. At that time, Yingchun had been home for half a day, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family had already had dinner and sent them home.Yingchunfang was crying and complaining in Mrs. Wang's room, saying that Sun Shaozu was blindly lustful, gambling and drinking, and that all the daughters-in-law and girls in the family would be all over the place.After a little persuasion two or three times, he scolded me for being screwed out by my wife with vinegar sauce.He also said that the master had received five thousand silver from him, so he should not have been used.Now he came to ask for it two or three times but failed, so he pointed at my face and said: Don't pretend to be a lady with me!Your father gave me five thousand silver and bought it from you at a discount.Take a good beating and drive him to sleep in the next room.When your grandfather was there that day, we hoped for our wealth and honor, and we rushed to meet each other.Logically, your father and I are of the same generation, but now you are forcing my head, and you are a generation later, you shouldn't be in this relationship, but it doesn't make people look like you are snobbish.Yixing said, Yixing cried so much that even Mrs. Wang and all the sisters were in tears.Mrs. Wang had no choice but to persuade her with words, saying: I have met this ignorant person, what can I do!I think your uncle once persuaded the old man not to be called this kind of relative.The old man insisted on not listening, wishing all he wanted, but he couldn't make it.my son!This is your life too.Yingchun cried: I don't believe my life is so hard!I lost my mother since I was a child, but fortunately I came here with my aunt, and after a few years of pure life, now this is the result again! While persuading Mrs. Wang, she asked her where she wanted to rest at will.Yingchun said: "At first I left my sisters, I just sleep and dream; second, I still miss my house, and I have to live in the old house in the garden for three or five days, and I am willing to die."I don't know if I will be able to live next time!Mrs. Wang hurriedly persuaded: "Stop talking nonsense!"However, it is common for young couples to fight their teeth idlely, so why bother to say such sad words.Still ordered people to tidy up the house in Zilingzhou in a hurry, and ordered the sisters to accompany and explain.He also told Baoyu, "Don't leak any news in front of the old lady. If the old lady knows these things, you are the one who said it."Baoyu obeys orders.On the eve of the Spring Festival, I still rest in the old hall.The sisters and others were even more affectionate. After staying for three days in a row, I went to Mrs. Xing's side.First leave Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and then part with all the sisters. They are all sad. It is Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue who comfort and persuade, and then stop going there.After staying at Mrs. Xing's place for another two days, people from Sun Shaozu came to pick her up.Although Yingchun didn't want to go, but he was afraid of Sun Shaozu's evil, so he reluctantly resigned.Mrs. Xing didn't care at all, and she didn't ask about the harmony between her husband and wife, and the troublesome housework, she just looked down on her face.Let's listen to the next chapter.
