Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 318

[Chapter 318 Living Corpse (fifteen)]

After the third concubine sent the officials away, they called Geng Jinhua in. As soon as Geng Jinhua came in, the third concubine cried, “You see how angry you are with your father?”

“Mother…I” Geng Jinhua I don’t want things to turn out like this.

After the third aunt shed two tears, she felt a little better. After all, she is the backbone of the family now, so she can’t be too emotional, so she quickly instructed Geng Jinhua: “I haven’t seen Qingfeng for so long, why don’t you go take a look?

” I’ll go right now.” Geng Jinhua knew clearly in his heart that Qingfeng must have known about this by now, so he didn’t see anyone for a long time, so he hurried to look for it.

I searched the kitchen, garden, and indoors, but I didn’t see anyone. This made Geng Jinhua anxious. After thinking about it, he ran away and came to the small building in the lake. In the building, looking at the calm lake. Geng Jinhua thought that Qingfeng was going to do something stupid, so he rushed forward and hugged Qingfeng, regretting: “I was wrong, Qingfeng, please forgive me, I really didn’t mean it.”

“Since it wasn’t on purpose, Why are you hiding it from me?” Qingfeng’s tears were about to run dry. Ever since she heard that Geng Jinhua had a child with a brothel woman, she began to cry, and she has been crying for an hour or two now. Annoyed and annoyed, but she felt that she was unqualified, because she was also a maid, so how could she blame others.

Geng Jinhua replied sadly: “I was afraid that you would be uncomfortable, so I concealed it.”

“What’s the use of talking about this now?” Qingfeng turned to look at Geng Jinhua, the person he loved now has a child with another woman, that woman She even reported to the government. She couldn’t tell whether she was more sad or worried. After all, Geng Jinhua wanted to send the woman away but didn’t.

Geng Jinhua was speechless, just hugged Qingfeng tightly, in the small building in the heart of the lake where they got married…

Things didn’t end so easily, even though the government had bought it off, it would be impossible to force Hongxiu to do anything. Speaking of which, Hongxiu is also a beauty, and there are too many people who know her. Helplessly, things turned into a difficult situation. The Geng family was naturally reluctant to accept Hongxiu, but Hongxiu insisted not to abort the child. There was no way, the third concubine did not dare to disturb Mr. Geng, so she had to ask the eldest wife and the second wife to discuss.

“Two sisters, what do you think about this matter?” The third concubine looked at the eldest wife and the second wife. The three of them get along well on weekdays, and they are not too strong. Although they serve the same husband, they are not bad. harmony.

Since the eldest wife lost her son, she has been in a trance, and when the word son is mentioned, she feels sad. Thanks to Qingfeng accompanying her for a few days, she is better. Now that this happened, she naturally stood by Qingfeng. On the side, he replied: “You can’t let that woman enter the door. What kind of tricks and tricks can a woman who comes out of that place can’t compete with Qingfeng, plus that woman has the flesh and blood of the Geng family, it will be even more arrogant.

” Yes, just that silly girl like Qingfeng, can you compare with others?” The second wife agreed and glanced at the third aunt, although the second wife entered the door earlier than the third aunt, but she was about the same age as the third aunt and used to be an actress , After being spotted by Master Geng, she entered Geng’s house. I don’t know why, but she has never had any children. She sang opera in the yard when she had nothing to do. Originally, she didn’t have a good impression of Qingfeng. There was a problem with her throat. After Qingfeng gave her medicine in a hurry, she was much better for Qingfeng.

When the third concubine heard that the two wives’ answers were the same as her own, she was a little happy, but also a little sad, and after thinking about it, she said, “That’s what we said, but we have to come up with a way, otherwise this matter will become too big and it will be difficult to Clean it up.”

“In my opinion, why don’t you find two land scoundrels, beat her up, and let the child go away?” The second wife chuckled twice, she was originally a person with a straightforward personality .

The eldest wife shook her head and said, “This is not good. If people find out, wouldn’t our Geng family become local tyrants and bullies?”

“Then…” The third aunt wanted to say something. At this moment, the door creaked open, and Qingfeng walked in. After greeting the three wives one by one, she knelt on the ground and said, “Auntie, Erniang, mother, Qingfeng. Feng has something to ask for.”

“Yo, you child, how cold the ground is, get up quickly.” The eldest wife helped Qing Feng up from the ground.

The third aunt was too busy and said, “If you have anything, just say it.”

“Qingfeng implores the three mothers to agree to Hongxiu marrying into the Geng family.” Hongxiu bit her lip and said this sentence anyway, this is her daily thinking The best way to think after the night, the only way to solve this matter.

When the second wife heard this, she stood up and asked nervously, “Aren’t you crazy? You want us to let that woman marry in?”

“Second mother, Qingfeng is ignorant and doesn’t know what to do or not, I just don’t want to. It’s embarrassing for the three mothers and father, and Hongxiu does have all the flesh and blood in her belly, so we can’t let the Geng family’s flesh and blood go outside.” Qingfeng answered honestly, this was what she was thinking, it was just her heart still hurts.

The eldest wife felt that the child Qingfeng was too kind, so she couldn’t bear to say, “Child, this is too wrong for you.”

“Don’t be wronged, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, how can I say wronged, please three mothers. Rest assured, Qingfeng will follow the example of the three mothers in the future and get along well with Hongxiu.”

“This…” The three wives heard Qingfeng’s words, and they had all kinds of feelings in their hearts. Although men in this world have three wives and four concubines Normal, but what woman would want to share a man with other women? It’s just that there is no way. Several women are under the same roof, and there is always dissatisfaction and sadness. Although the surface is peaceful, only I know the feeling in my heart. But they finally agreed to Qingfeng’s proposal, because it was the only way, so they agreed. After sending the steward to discuss the date with Hongxiu, they sent the betrothal gift. As a concubine, it was done simply. Who knew that Hongxiu would not obey, and insisted that eight carry a large sedan chair to marry, which made the three wives very dissatisfied, but Qingfeng had no choice but to compromise, and this was the only way to do it.

After the date was set, the Geng family was preparing for the wedding of the second young master of the Geng family, but Geng Jinhua couldn’t laugh. Looking at the high-hanging lanterns and the red cloth, he felt that he owed Qingfeng a lot, which accumulated over time. It became more and more uncomfortable in his heart, until the day of the wedding, he did not have a smile.

Qingfeng was active, got up early in the morning, instructed the servants at home to do this and that, and helped Geng Jinhua and Hongxiu embroider a pair of mandarin duck pillows and put them in the new house.

The sound of firecrackers beating and banging disturbed Geng Jinhua’s mood. At the same time, the sedan chair arrived. Pushed by the green wind, Geng Jinhua walked to the sedan chair wearing red flowers and kicked the sedan door. The curtain of the sedan chair was rolled up, and the bride in red Xia Pei walked out of the sedan chair. The matchmaker tucked a red rope into the hands of the newlyweds, each holding one end. Geng Jinhua led the bride into the house.

Master Geng and his three wives sat high in the lobby of Geng’s house, surrounded by the hotel, and the matchmaker shouted at the top of his voice: “One day to worship heaven and earth…” “Two worship to the high hall…” “Husband and wife worship each other…” “Send in The bridal chamber…”

Amidst the congratulations from the guests, Geng Jinhua pulled the bride into the bridal chamber expressionlessly. Seeing the bride sitting down, Geng Jinhua threw the rope and pushed the door away. Xiu lifted her hijab. She didn’t expect Geng Jinhua to treat her like this on her wedding day, and her resentment burst out, but she had to endure it…

At this time, Qingfeng was helping in the kitchen, directing the maids to serve the dishes.

“Slow down, slow down, don’t break the plate…” She was so enthusiastic, like she was doing a wedding, no one could see the sadness in her heart.

Geng Jinhua hid outside the kitchen and took a look, her heart ached so much that she was about to burst into tears. At this time, the third concubine found Geng Jinhua and knew her son Mo Ruomu. She knew what Geng Jinhua was thinking, and hurriedly persuaded: “Son, today is your big day. Days, the guests outside are waiting for you.”

“…I see…Mother…” Geng Jinhua still didn’t choose to go in, because he felt that he was shameless.

In fact, Qingfeng knew that, she knew that Geng Jinhua was hiding outside the kitchen, but she wanted to pretend she didn’t see it, so she could only bite her lip to hold back the tears in her eyes, put on a smile and continue working in the kitchen.

On the other side, Master Geng did not entertain the guests because he was unwell. He returned to the room early. He did not ask anyone to wait on him, but only the eldest wife. The two of them sat in the room without speaking for a long time. After a while, Master Geng spoke softly. “Did you complain about me back then?”

“Have you ever complained.” When Mrs. Geng married Mr. Geng, Mr. Geng still had a rough career. At that time, Mrs. Geng was considered a lady, and she vowed to love her for a lifetime when she married. , it was only five or six years ago that Master Geng married another second wife, but the eldest wife didn’t make a fuss at all, just like Qingfeng today, so the eldest wife cherished Qingfeng very much and couldn’t help worrying about Qingfeng. “Our business has passed, just look at the front, I’m afraid that Qingfeng will not have a good life in the future.”

“Well.” Master Geng nodded, knowing what he knew, after thinking about it, he asked: “The key I gave you back then. Are you still there?”

“After I left, I was not in the mood to take care of the family, so I left it to the third sister.” The eldest lady replied in a low voice.

Master Geng glanced at the eldest wife, suddenly felt guilty, grabbed the eldest lady’s hand and said, “You have been wronged all these years.”

“What kind of grievance is this? Anyway, the second and third sisters are ordinary people. , If you want to say grievances, I’m afraid it’s Qingfeng who will be wronged.” The eldest wife sighed when she thought of Qingfeng’s small appearance of being aggrieved.

Master Geng sighed: “I think so too, I’m afraid that woman will be unscrupulous because she has a family in Geng’s house, so I asked you where the key is.”

“Master, you mean that you want to give the key to the head of the house to Qingfeng . ?”

“That’s exactly what you mean.”

“Absolutely not.” The eldest lady waved her hand hastily.
