Chapter 48: white-eyed wolf
Chapter 48 White Eyed Wolf
The daughter-in-law's roar made Wang He's whip in his hand fall to the ground. Wang He turned his head stiffly, and found his daughter-in-law glaring at him with big eyes, like a thunderclap.
Why is my daughter-in-law here? !
This is the end of the calf...
Kong Xiaowu's sleepiness was wiped out, he wanted to run when he raised his feet.
"Kong Xiaowu, you bastard! Stop for the old lady!" Wang Xiangzhi shouted, "If you don't stop, the old lady will rush to the Kong's house and let Kong Songming, Mr. Kong, judge!"
Hearing that there was a lot of excitement to watch, the idlers at the city gate gathered around, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate also looked here with their knives.
do not! Kong Xiaowu was so frightened that he retracted his legs and turned around with a smile on his face, "Yo! Isn't this Mrs. Wang, what kind of wind blows you to the gate of the city?"
Wang He was also afraid that things would get worse, so he picked up his horse whip and trembled to the side of the tea shop, whispering to ingratiate himself, "Why are you here, daughter-in-law? Why are you wrapping a blue cloth around your head today? Look at the real spirit!"
"Spirit, you bastard! The old lady only hurt her forehead and was afraid of the wind!" Although Wang Xiangzhi has a big temper, she also knows that it is not good for anyone to spread it out, so she raised her hand and pointed to the tea shop and hung it halfway. The door with the blue cloth curtain, "You two, get in for me!"
Hearing that his daughter-in-law was injured, Wang He walked in quickly, "Why did you hurt your head, is it serious? Have you let Lang Zhong take a look?"
Wang Xiangzhi snorted, "Don't talk about these useless things, what are you doing in the city, what happened to the cow and the calf?"
Wang He saw that there were more than 20 people in the tea shop, so he tugged at his daughter-in-law's sleeve like a little daughter-in-law, and said in a low voice, "This is not the place to talk, let's go back to the house and talk about it?"
"If you don't want to talk about it here, let's go to the yamen to talk about it! Everyone here is drinking tea, who do you want to hear about the two of you!"
The tea guests who were leaning over and pulling their necks to watch the fun immediately turned their faces, sat up straight, and ate their tea, showing that they really didn't want to watch the fun at all.
"Speak!" Wang Xiangzhi's eyes widened, Zhao Xiuqiao and the Jiang family's chauffeur both watched silently without interrupting.
Wang He is an honest man, babbling in front of his daughter-in-law, speechless.
Kong Xiaowu's eyes lit up and laughed, "Don't you know, sister-in-law? The girl in your family wants to eat cow's milk, and Brother Wang came to the city to deliver the cow."
Wang He nodded quickly, "Yes."
"The cow outside?" Wang Xiangzhi asked angrily.
Wang He hesitated, then nodded again.
"Is this cow pulled from Liujiazhuang?" Seeing that her husband dared to nod, Wang Xiangzhi's face began to drop.
Wang He didn't dare to move this time, Kong Xiaowu rolled his eyes around twice, and replied, "Did your sister-in-law just see it? This cow was just pulled from the woods by the younger brother, not from Liujiazhuang."
"The girl asked for the cow from Liujiazhuang. Which one wants you to bring it! Where is the cow from Liujiazhuang?"
Wang He's voice became even lower, "Cow..."
"The cow... is dead." Kong Xiaowu was afraid that Wang He would miss the point, so he quickly cut off Wang He's words, "He died of illness, died suddenly!"
"Shut up my mother!" Wang Xiangzhi stopped Kong Xiaowu, raised her finger and pointed at Wang He, "Say! Where's the cow?"
Wang He was silent for a long time, and the tea customers in the tea shop were all anxious, and urged, "You said it!"
"Yes, the cow!"
"Is it a man?"
“…”
Hearing that the tea customers were running on her husband, Wang Xiangzhi got even more angry, she stood up with her hands on the table, pulled the wound, and staggered to the side. Zhao Xiuqiao quickly supported her arm, "Sister, watch out for your legs."
Wang He saw that his daughter-in-law was unsteady, and subconsciously raised his arm to help him, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with your leg?"
Wang Xiangzhi waited for her husband's caring face, and burst into tears, "How dare you ask me what's wrong with my legs? I stepped on a persimmon in the yard and fell! The second master sent someone to send me to see Lang Zhong, sure. I went back to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and asked me to bring two big boxes of birthday cakes, and let me go back and feed you white-eyed wolf! You are not afraid of thunder and lightning, tell my mother again, cow!"
"...Sold..." Wang He didn't dare to lie to his daughter-in-law, and whispered the truth.
She knew it! Wang Xiangzhi then asked, "Who allowed you to sell the cattle from the girl's village?"
Kong Xiaowu saw that things were going to be overwhelmed, so he quickly said, "It's Wang Jiang!"
"Shut up!" After Wang Xiangzhi shouted, she asked her husband again, "The cow was sold. Yesterday, the people in the house went to Zhuangzi to pull the cow. "
Kong Xiaowu, who refused to shut up, then rushed to answer, "It's Zhuangzi's chief steward Wang Jiang!"
"Wang Jiang also asked you to buy cattle?" Wang Xiangzhi stared.
Kong Xiaowu didn't even stammer, "Yes!"
After crying, Wang Xiangzhi smiled with desolation at this moment, "You Kong Xiaowu is the son of the eldest young master Kong Neng of the Kong family, how can the steward of my girl, Xiao Zhuangzi, be able to move you?"
Some tea guests understood, "This sister-in-law is talking about Liujiazhuang, but Liujiazhuang in the east of the city at the foot of the green hill? Isn't that the dowry of the Wang family girl? The second master you are talking about is Jiang Feng, the second master of the Jiang family? "
Seeing that Wang Xiangzhi didn't say no, another sensible person opened his mouth, "So, this little brother's master is Lieutenant General Kong of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division? Lieutenant General Kong's sister is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Jiang Er's family, right? "
"After Mrs. Jiang Er died, her dowry was taken back to the Wang family. Could it be that this Zhuangzi is also in charge of the Wang family now?"
"Isn't that..."
"There are two girls in Jiang Erye's family, right?"
"Isn't it the two of them? I saw them with my own eyes at Foxiang Pavilion two days ago. The two girls who have lost their mothers are really pitiful..."
Seeing that everyone brought the topic car to the girls, Zhao Xiuqiao accepted it when he saw it, "Brother Wang He, sister Xiangzhi has injuries on her body, so it's not appropriate to worry about it, let's go back to the house and talk about it if you have anything to say?"
"Okay, okay!" Wang He nodded quickly.
"Sister, take the carriage back to the house first." Wang Xiangzhi raised her sleeves and wiped her face, and asked Zhao Xiuqiao to follow the driver first. Zhao Xiuqiao nodded, and after telling her not to get angry, got on the carriage and left first.
Wang Xiangzhi limped out of the tea shop when he saw that they had entered the city.
"Daughter-in-law, shall I carry you to the bullock cart?" Wang He supported his daughter-in-law and persuaded in a low voice.
Wang Xiangzhi did not object. After her husband carried him to the ox cart, she instructed coldly, "There are many people in the city, and the calf is also tied."
Hearing what she said, Kong Xiaowu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, fasten it, let's go into the city, congratulate Mrs. Jiang on her birthday, and ask for a birthday cake to eat!"
Is this the end? The spectators felt uncomfortable in their hearts and watched the ox cart enter the city.
After the ox cart entered the city, Wang Xiangzhi coldly instructed, "Go to Wang's house!"
"daughter in law!"
"Sister Wang!"
Wang He and Kong Xiaowu changed their faces when they heard that Wang Xiangzhi was going to Wang's house.
Wang Xiangzhi was surprisingly calm, "If you don't go to Wang's house, go to the yamen, you two choose!"
Seeing the hundreds of pounds of hail hanging on his daughter-in-law's face, Wang He didn't dare to be disobedient, and dragged his heavy legs to the direction of Wang's house.
Kong Xiaowu saw that something was going wrong, he turned around and got into the crowd, disappearing in a flash.
Thanks to book friend Maruko D for the reward.
