Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 319

[Chapter 319 Living Corpse (sixteen)]

On the wedding night, Geng Jinhua didn’t break the rules and stayed in Hongxiu’s house, but he didn’t do anything. Hongxiu was lying on the bed, and he stayed on the stool for the night. Early the next morning, the maid came knocking on the door. After Hongxiu got up, the two went to serve tea to Master Geng and several wives.

When Hongxiu and Geng Jinhua went in, everyone in the lobby of Geng’s house was all there. Master Geng and his wives sat in a row, and Qingfeng was standing beside them. Geng Jinhua glanced at Qingfeng, Qingfeng’s face was haggard, and at a glance, he knew that he hadn’t slept well last night.

Geng Jinhua and Hongxiu knelt on the futon in front of Master Geng and the third wife, and were about to receive the tea handed over by the maid, when Master Geng suddenly said, “Wait a minute, the elders are in order, I haven’t had a drink yet. The tea from the main room, how can you drink the tea from the side room.” As soon as he finished speaking, the wives were stunned for a while, and the third aunt was too quick to respond, so she hurriedly said to Hongxiu, “Hongxiu, get up first.”

Hongxiu For some reason, she still stood up obediently. As soon as she stood up, the maid took her to the side. Seeing this, the third concubine smiled and said to Qingfeng who was standing next to her: “Qingfeng, the master wants to drink this from you. A cup of tea for my daughter-in-law, why don’t you hurry up?”

“This…” Qing Feng was a little scared, it was obviously Hongxiu who was serving tea today.

Geng Jinhua was overjoyed, stood up and pulled Qingfeng to his side, knelt down to the ground, and said to the maid, “It’s time to serve the tea.”

“Yes, Second Young Master.” The maid hurriedly handed the tea to Qingfenghe. Geng Jinhua’s hands.

Guanshi Geng smiled and shouted: “The new daughter-in-law is offering tea.” Master Geng and the third wife all had smiles on their faces, Qingfeng raised the tea in his hand over his head and gave it to Master Geng, and said meekly: ” Dad, drink tea.”

“Good.” Master Geng nodded and glanced at the third concubine, which meant ‘Look, didn’t I drink Qingfeng’s wife’s tea?’, that made the third concubine laugh too much. Intentionally. After drinking Qingfeng’s daughter-in-law’s tea, Master Geng took out a big red envelope and handed it to Qingfeng. One by one, Qingfeng offered tea to the third wife, the eldest wife, and the second wife. Gave her a big red envelope.

At this time, Hongxiu, who was standing beside him like an outsider, was full of anger, and her face looked like a boiled crab. When it was her turn to serve tea, she was not treated so well. When she took over Master Geng When she took out the little red envelope, she sighed again, pressing down on her heart. After paying respects to the wives, the situation was similar. At the end, when she wanted to stand up, the third concubine suddenly shouted, “Wait a minute.”

“What’s the matter? Mother.” Although Hongxiu didn’t like the third concubine, she couldn’t , She is a junior, not to mention that the third concubine is the mother of Geng Jinhua and the head of the backyard of the Geng family, it is impossible to disrespect.

The third concubine instructed the maid: “Show Qingfeng the seat.”

“Yes, ma’am.” The maid was neat, the chair was moved immediately, and Qingfeng was pressed on the seat for a while, and at this moment The third aunt looked at Hongxiu too coldly and said, “Qingfeng is the main room, you are the side room, and tea is indispensable.” This means that Hongxiu should serve tea to Qingfeng, put down a low stake, and recognize her identity. .

Qing Feng listened and waved his hands hurriedly: “Mother, this can’t be…”

“What can’t you do? Think back then, didn’t I also serve tea to the eldest sister? This is the rule.” The second wife stood up and held Qing Feng pressed back on the seat and glanced at Hongxiu kneeling on the ground again with a proud face.

Hongxiu’s lungs were about to explode, she told herself, calm down, I want to calm down, so she put on a smile, took the tea from the maid, and handed it to Qingfeng.

“Sister drinking tea…”

“I’ll be a family from now on…” Qingfeng seemed a little embarrassed by this, and hurriedly carried the tea bowl with her hands.

At this moment, when Hongxiu saw that Qingfeng had not stabilized the tea, she lost her hands, the tea bowl overturned, and the hot tea scalded on Hongxiu’s own hands.

“Ouch…” Hongxiu let out a coquettish snort, looking at her scalded hands, looking at Qingfeng like a pitiful person on the stage.

Qingfeng was beaten up since he was a child, and did not dare to do anything wrong. Now that he saw that it was broken, he looked at Master Geng and his wives in panic, and explained, “…I didn’t mean to…”

“It hurts…” Hongxiu shook her hot red hand in front of Geng Jinhua, trying to win Geng Jinhua’s pity.

Geng Jinhua glanced at Hongxiu, pulled Qingfeng and asked, “How about you? Is your hand hurt?”

“…” Qingfeng shook his head gently.

Several wives looked at Hongxiu, and their eyes were annoyed. At this time, the eldest lady couldn’t stand it anymore, and instructed the maid: “Didn’t you see the young lady burnt her hand? Haven’t you brought her back to the room to rest?”

“Yes, eldest lady. .” The maid reached out to help, and Hongxiu raised her strength from the ground. With the maid’s support, she was about to leave the lobby.

At this time, Master Geng suddenly said: “Since it’s a burn, find a doctor to take a look for her.”

“Understood, Master.” The maid squatted down and saluted, supported Hongxiu and left.

There were no outsiders in the lobby. The eldest wife looked at Qingfeng and couldn’t help reminding: “Child, you are too serious. Didn’t you see that she was trying to tease you just now?” ” Madam

, what do you mean?” Shaking his head, the third concubine was the closest, and she could see it more clearly than the eldest wife, and explained, “What the eldest sister means is that Hongxiu just wanted to burn you with tea, but unexpectedly, she burnt

herself.”

.” Geng Jinhua said angrily, then looked at Qingfeng. “Don’t worry about her in the future.” The

second wife nodded, thought for a while, and said softly, “In my opinion, if we’re gone one day, this little fox might come out to Nezha for us.

” My sister is right, that Hongxiu is indeed not the one to worry about it.” The eldest wife glanced at the third concubine and asked, “What do you think?”

“I have an idea, what do you think of the master and sister? “The third aunt replied.

“Just say anything.”

“What are we taking that woman into Geng’s house for? Isn’t that the child in her belly? We’ll let her for a while, wait until she’s ripe, and then find someone to send her away, isn’t it?

” It’s possible…” Both the eldest and second ladies nodded.

Unexpectedly, Hongxiu listened to all their conversations. Think about it, who is this Hongxiu? The maid who was sent to serve her was bought by her with money yesterday and became her own. Her confidant, Hongxiu is a person who has tumbled a few times in the red dust. As for how her scheming can be weak, she knew what these people would say when she left, so instead of really leaving, she stayed to steal listen. The more she listened, the more angry Hongxiu became. She wished that she was now the head of the Geng family and drove all these old guys out, and… that Qingfeng, she couldn’t stay because Geng Jinhua looked at Qingfeng with red eyes. Xiu felt uncomfortable, as if someone else had taken something from her…
