Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 429

Wang's eighth house.

Originally, there was no wind or rain tonight, and the weather was considered an issue. Under normal circumstances, after the sky was completely dark, basically everyone should be asleep.It wasn't that the Wang family was reluctant to bear the oil lamps, but because there was no new year or holiday, there were no urgent accounts to check, and the Wang family didn't have any students who studied all night, and those female relatives didn't stay up late at night and light up the oil lamps in a daze.

But in this atmosphere that should have been quiet at night, the eighth room of the Wang family was brightly lit.

It's not like in the courtyard of the old lady of Duan's family, where a little candlelight reveals bursts of warmth, but the real lights are bright.

During the period, there were servants running back and forth non-stop, women's choked-up cries, and children's almost non-stop crying.

There are no concubines in the eighth room of Wang's family, but there are three or five Tongfang who have just opened their faces. In addition, the seven outstanding daughters of the eighth room, the eighth master and the eighth wife, and the most precious treasure in the whole eighth room Young master Pida.

By the way, there is one more person.

Duan Jiqiu.

In fact, the only people who really live in the main courtyard of Bafang are Mr. Ba, his wife, and their only son.

Tongfang lives at the back of the main courtyard, while the seven prostitutes of Bafang live in the embroidery building in the backyard with other cousins.As for Duan Jiqiu, a rich family respects rules, even if the Wang family is just a merchant family, there is no reason for the daughter-in-law to live in the same courtyard as the father-in-law.Therefore, Duan Jiqiu also lived alone in a courtyard, not the main house where the master lived, but the guest courtyard of the Wang family.

In my conscience, the guest house is pretty good, and the Wang family's eighth room can't treat Duan Jiqiu harshly. The food and drink expenses are all compared to the Wang family's prostitutes, and the servants are all dowry maids. and companion servants.

Even Duan Jiqiu's ten thousand dowry has never been used.

Don't think it's because the eighth house of the Wang family is a gentleman, but because they really don't want to have a relationship with Duan Jiqiu.

I always thought that although the bridal sedan chair entered the door, the eighth house's concubine did not really marry Duan Jiqiu at the hall. On that day, Duan Jiqiu completed all the steps of the hall visit by himself.The next day when tea was served, the other elders drank it, but the eighth master and eighth wife of the Wang family knocked over the teacup in front of all relatives.

Afterwards, Duan Jiqiu and all her dowry, as well as the servants from the Duan family's dowry were arranged in the guest courtyard, and everyone in the eighth room of the Wang family deliberately avoided it.

Even if Duan Jiqiu has been married into the Wang family for more than a year, the members of the eighth room of the Wang family have never had any contact with Duan Jiqiu except for the tea ceremony on the second day of their marriage.

It seems that by doing this, all relationships can be separated, and it can also be guaranteed not to be restrained by Duan Jiqiu.

From the point of view of the eighth house of the Wang family, although money is attractive, it is not as important as the life of the only son-in-law.

It's true to say so, but there is a saying that God's will tricks people.

Just two days ago, Bafang's precious lump suddenly caught wind and cold.Naturally, the Wang family also invited a doctor to look at it, and the medicine was prepared by Eighth Wife's most trusted servant girl.Originally, the situation was fairly stable, but for some reason tonight, the condition suddenly relapsed.Urgently called the doctor over, but after several hours of tossing, the fever did not subside.

Seeing Baby Pimple crying in pain, the eighth wife of the Wang family was really heartbroken.

Naturally, those other people from the eighth house who didn't live in the main courtyard also came in a hurry to inquire.

No, the seven daughters of the first generation have already entered the outer room of the main house, while the passers-by are standing in the yard, euphemistically called praying for blessings.

As for Duan Jiqiu, she didn't get the news at first. In fact, during the more than a year in the Wang family, she was not treated badly for food and drink, but she actually cut off all contact with the outside world.She could choose to go out, or even go back to her mother's house, but the Wang family did not allow her to enter the backyard.

Just, go back to her mother's house?

Duan Jiqiu is not stupid, even if he was a little ignorant of the world in the past, he should be sensible after going through the hardships of the past few years.

Except for the first two trips back to her natal home, she never went back.

That's right, accept your fate.

But what Duan Jiqiu didn't know was that even if she resigned to her fate, some things would still come to her on her own initiative.

There was a lot of noise in the yard of the eighth room all night, and at dawn, a burst of crying came from the main room.

That baby bump, go.

Such a big matter cannot be concealed no matter what, the key is that there is no need to conceal it.After all, the Wang family had to hold a funeral for the young master.

However, what is more puzzling is that when the Duan family on the other side of Luyang County got the news, Duan Jiqiu, who had been staying in the Wang's guest house, did not get the news from the beginning to the end.

It wasn't intentional concealment, but everyone in the Wang family regarded her as a transparent person, and no one remembered to inform her at all.

Naturally, Duan Jiqiu got the news in the end, and that was when her little husband had been put into the coffin and placed in the mourning hall.

Because he died at a young age, not many people came to worship, at least outsiders would definitely not come, and only the relatives of the Wang family and the family of the eighth wife of the Wang family came.

I don't know who said something extra and mentioned Duan Jiqiu.

Of course, people definitely didn't call her by first and last name, but called her the fifteenth young lady.

Bafang's baby, Pidao, was already on the family tree when he turned three years old, ranking fifteen among his peers.

Since the fifteenth young lady has already been mentioned, everyone in Bafang is immersed in grief, and there is no reason not to let the wife who is a serious matchmaker come to pay respects.At that moment, he called a servant to find Duan Jiqiu.

It's not that the people in Bafang didn't think that it was Duan Jiqiu's fate, but because the fifteenth young master died of a serious illness due to the cold.

And from the beginning to the end, the couple never met.

Not long after, Duan Jiqiu arrived after hearing the news.

However, just as soon as he showed up, the eighth wife of the Wang family scratched Duan Jiqiu like a demon, her face was covered with flowers, and she was seriously injured.

……

After the Duan family heard that the fifteenth young master of the Wang family had passed away, although they were very shocked, they immediately sent people to pay respects.

However, the Duan family is still self-aware.

Even in this matter, the Duan family has no fault on the surface, but obviously, in the eyes of the Wang family, the Duan family is definitely the kind that is not liked by others.The Duan family can only rejoice that they had the foresight to marry Duan Jiqiu last year.

If last year it was just an engagement rather than a marriage, that period of Jiqiu would be called a real smash.

Even so, the members of the Duan family were still very guilty, and finally sent the more courageous second young master of the Duan family to come forward.

The second young master of the Duan family is also Tang Yanxiu's second cousin. He was not raised as an heir, but the Duan family has few legitimate sons, and he has devoted himself to the upbringing of each of them.Therefore, even though he is not as good as his elder brother, the second young master of the Duan family has helped the family a lot over the years and has a certain ability to deal with crises.

Never expected it!

As soon as he entered the door, before he had time to go into the mourning hall, he heard crying, screaming and cursing in the mourning hall.

It took a long time for the mourning hall to barely regain its calm. Fortunately, those who came to worship were not considered outsiders. The main reason was that children died young, and outsiders would not come at all.

"This is... Jiqiu?" The second young master of the Duan family hadn't entered the mourning hall when the farce started. Now that the farce subsided, he followed others and walked in.As a result, as soon as I entered, I saw Duan Jiqiu.

Duan Jiqiu looks very tragic right now.

The clothes were ripped crookedly, the main reason was that the originally pretty face was covered with scratch marks.

This was so miserable that the second young master of the Duan family squinted his eyes for a long time before he recognized him.

Immediately, as if Duan Jiqiu finally saw his relatives, he burst into tears and rushed forward regardless.

Although they are cousins, but these days, it is important to have different seats for men and women at seven years old.The second young master of the Duan family hasn't even hugged his own sister since he opened the door. When he saw his cousin, he rushed towards him suddenly. He was so frightened that he instinctively took a few steps back. As a result, Duan Jiqiu just fell face-to-face to the second son of the Duan family. In front of the young master's feet.

On the Wang family's side, watching this farce is also showing blue veins.

Just now, she was too busy to hold the crazy eighth wife of the Wang family, and ignored Duan Jiqiu.

Although Duan Jiqiu and Wang's eighth-fang baby bump did not perform the ceremony of husband and wife, they are still considered the daughter-in-law of the Wang family's matchmaker. Even if they are not considered outsiders in the mourning hall, it is still a shame to lose face.

Annoyed, people stepped forward to hold Duan Jiqiu, and the elder Wang came forward and invited the second young master of the Duan family to the side room.

The second young master of the Duan family was even more confused, so he didn't object.

When they arrived in the wing room, it was still the old man of the Wang family who came forward and told the ins and outs of this farce in detail.

Naturally, the biggest fault must be the eighth wife of the Wang family. No matter what the cause is, if she jumps up and fights like a shrew, she must be inferior.But Duan Jiqiu was not without fault, because when she entered the mourning hall, she wore extra bright clothes.

Originally, during the filial piety period, there must be some taboos, let alone entering the mourning hall to worship.

Even if it is not to worship the elders, there is no one dressed like this to come to the mourning hall to worship.

"Although my eighth younger siblings shouldn't do this directly, but... I also ask Haihan, the second young master of the Duan family, that the one who died was her only legitimate son, so please be considerate of my mother's feelings."

After hearing the whole story, the second young master of the Duan family immediately turned black.

That's right, from a legal point of view, the eighth wife of the Wang family is indeed at fault. Anyway, even if someone points at your nose and scolds, it's your fault to do it directly.

But it's really not easy to draw conclusions on this matter.

Comparing your heart to your heart, no one can bear this matter.

Even though Duan Jiqiu is now married to the Wang family and is considered a member of the Wang family, the second young master of the Duan family still feels anxious.

Endured and endured, the second young master of the Duan family finally bowed his hands, found an excuse and left early, even forgot to go to the funeral hall to burn incense, and just went back to the Duan family to discuss with the family what to do about this matter.

So what if you get married?
If this matter really gets out, the Wang family's reputation will be bad, and his Duan family will also have a reputation for not being able to raise their daughters!
