Strange Tales of the Ghosts

On the wedding night, Geng Jinhua did not break the rules and stayed in Hongxiu's house, but he did nothing. Hongxiu lay on the bed, and he stayed on the stool all night. Early the next morning, the maid knocked on the door. After Hongxiu got up, the two of them went to serve tea to Mr. Geng and his wives.

When Hong Xiu and Geng Jinhua entered, everyone in the Geng family lobby was already there. Mr. Geng and his ladies sat in a row, and Qingfeng stood beside them. Geng Jinhua glanced at Qingfeng, who had a haggard look on his face. He knew at a glance that he had not slept well last night.

Geng Jinhua and Hongxiu knelt on the futon in front of Mr. Geng and the third wife, and were about to receive the tea handed over by the maid. At this time, Mr. Geng suddenly said: "Wait a minute, the elders and younger ones are in order, I haven't drunk it yet." How can you drink tea from the side room if you bring tea from the main room?" As soon as he finished speaking, the ladies were stunned for a moment. The third aunt reacted too quickly and hurriedly said to Hongxiu: "Hongxiu, you get up first."

Hongxiu didn't know why, but she stood up obediently. As soon as she stood up, the maid pulled her aside. Seeing this, the third aunt smiled and said to Qingfeng standing next to her: "Qingfeng, I want to drink." Why don’t you go quickly with your cup of wife-in-law tea?”

"This..." Qingfeng was really scared. It was obviously Hongxiu who was serving tea today.

Geng Jinhua was so happy that he stood up and pulled Qingfeng to his side. He knelt down on the ground and said to the maid: "Hurry up and serve tea."

"Yes, Second Young Master." The maid hurriedly handed the tea into the hands of Qingfeng and Geng Jinhua.

Manager Geng had a smile on his face and shouted: "Tea from the new daughter-in-law." Master Geng and the third wife's wife all had smiles on their faces. Qingfeng raised the tea in his hand above his head and offered it to Master Geng, and said meekly: " Dad, drink tea."

"Be good." Mr. Geng nodded and glanced at the third aunt, which meant, 'Look, I drank Qingfeng's wife's tea, didn't I?' This made the third aunt smile again and again. After drinking Qingfeng's wife's tea, Mr. Geng took out a big red envelope and handed it into Qingfeng's hand. One by one, Qingfeng offered tea to the third aunt, the eldest wife, and the second wife. Everyone Gave her a big red envelope.

At this time, Hongxiu, who was standing next to her like an outsider, was holding back her breath, and her face looked like a cooked 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 small red envelope, she felt another sigh, which was suppressed in her heart. After paying respects to several ladies, the situation was almost the same. At the end, when she wanted to stand up, the third concubine suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong? Mom." Although Hongxiu doesn't like the third aunt, she can't help it. She is a junior. Not to mention that the third aunt is Geng Jinhua's mother and the head of the Geng family's backyard. It's impossible to disrespect her.

The third aunt ordered the maid: "Show Qingfeng a seat."

"Yes, madam." The maid moved the chair quickly with her hands and feet. Qingfeng was pinned down on the seat and was confused for a while. At this moment, the third aunt looked at Hongxiu coldly and said, "Qingfeng She is the main wife, you are the side wife, and tea is indispensable." This means that Hongxiu should serve tea to Qingfeng, put down a low stake, and recognize her identity.

After Qingfeng heard this, he waved his hands hurriedly: "Mom, this is impossible..."

"What's wrong? Remember back then, didn't I serve tea to the eldest sister? That's the rule." The second wife stood up, pushed Qingfeng back to her seat, and took another look at Hong Kneeling on the ground. Show, with a proud look on his face.

Hongxiu's lungs were about to burst with anger. She told herself, calm down, I have to calm down, so she put on a smile, took the tea from the maid's hand, and handed it to Qingfeng.

"Sister, drink tea..."

"We will all be a family from now on..." Qingfeng seemed a little embarrassed after being treated like this, and hurriedly picked up the tea bowl with his hands.

At this moment, Hong Xiu saw that Qing Feng had not yet stabilized the tea, and threw his hands, causing the tea bowl to overturn, and the hot tea burned Hong Xiu's own hands.

"Ouch..." Hongxiu snorted and looked at her burned hands, looking at Qingfeng sadly like a poor person on the stage.

Qingfeng was beaten up since he was a child and did not dare to do anything wrong. Now he saw that it was bad. He looked at Mr. Geng and his wives in panic and explained: "...I didn't mean it..."

"It hurts..." Hong Xiu waved her hot red hand in front of Geng Jinhua's face, trying to win Geng Jinhua's sympathy.

Geng Jinhua glanced at Hongxiu, pulled Qingfeng and asked, "What about you? Is your hand injured?"

"..." Qingfeng shook his head gently.

Several ladies got tired of looking at Hongxiu. At this time, the eldest lady couldn't stand it anymore and ordered the maid: "Didn't you see that the young mistress has burned her hand? Why don't you take her back to her room to rest?"

"Yes, madam." The maid stretched out her hand to help, and Hongxiu got up from the ground with a little help. With the help of the maid, she was about to leave the lobby.

At this time, Master Geng suddenly said: "Since it is a burn, let's find a doctor to take a look at her."

"I understand, Master." The maid knelt down to salute, supported Hongxiu and left.

There were no outsiders in the lobby. The eldest lady looked at Qingfeng and couldn't help but remind her: "My child, you are too honest. Didn't you see just now that she was deliberately teasing you?"

"Auntie, what do you mean?"

The eldest lady shook her head. The third aunt was the closest and could see it more clearly than the eldest lady. She explained, "What the eldest sister means is that Hongxiu just wanted to burn you with tea, but she didn't expect to burn herself."

"You deserve it." Geng Jinhua said angrily, and then looked at Qingfeng. "Ignore her from now on."

The second wife nodded, thought for a while, and said softly: "In my opinion, if we are no longer here one day, this little coquettish fox will definitely come to us to play Nezha Naohai."

"The second sister is right. That Hongxiu is indeed not a worry-free person." The eldest wife glanced at the third aunt and asked, "What do you think?"

"I have an idea. I wonder what the master and sister think about it?" the third aunt replied.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Why did we take that woman into Geng's house? Isn't it just the child in her belly? Let's just let her go for a while, and then we can find another way to get rid of her when things are done, right?"

"That's feasible..." The eldest wife and the second wife both nodded.

What people didn't expect was that Hong Xiu listened to their conversation. Think about it, who is this Hong Xiu? The maid sent to serve her was bought by her with money yesterday and became her own. Hong Xiu is a confidant who has been in the world of mortals several times. How can she be weak in scheming? She knew what these people would say as soon as she left. Therefore, she did not really leave, but stayed and stole. listen. The more she listened, the angrier Hongxiu became. She wished that she was now the head of the Geng family and could drive all these old guys out. And... Qingfeng, she couldn't keep him because the way Geng Jinhua looked at Qingfeng made Hongxiu I feel uncomfortable, as if my things have been taken away by others...
