Chapter 99: The Question of Daiyu

"A year has passed by the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the summer. Thousands of households and households always replace the old talismans with new peaches!"

Time gradually changed, and in the blink of an eye it was already midnight. Ye Ruhai and Jia Li were having a great time chatting. Xichun and Daiyu kept chatting in the inner hall.

Of course, Daiyu also met Qin Keqing. Qin was originally charming, and after moving to the Hou Mansion, his mentality was much better than before. Now, even Daiyu felt that her heart was jumping non-stop.

"I heard that Sister Qin has divorced Jia Rong from the East Mansion?"

Qin Keqing and Daiyu, Xichun have become old acquaintances, but since Xichun saw her in the Marquis' Mansion again, it was like a different person, and the mouth was filled with gunpowder when she opened her mouth.

Qin Keqing was a little scared of the little girl Daiyu. Her delicate thoughts seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and make her frightened.

Long ago, she overheard the conversation between Daiyu and Xichun. The sharp words and a few short words made her almost untenable. It was hard to believe that those words came from a daughter in a boudoir who had not yet been married.

From now on, she felt something was wrong with her sister-in-law. Now she has changed to Daiyu, who has a deeper knowledge of Taoism. Although Daiyu's words are not as intense as Xichun, Qin Keqing feels that the pressure Daiyu brings to her is much greater than Xichun.

With the original intention of saying less and making mistakes, Qin Keqing just replied in a brief manner.

"good!"

But Daiyu's is not Xichun, she has a more transparent mind, and she doesn't just make a big fuss like Xichun.

"Since you are separated, why don't you go back to your own home? Instead, you come to this marquis' mansion. If you don't know, you think your sister is a woman who loves glory. You don't know how others are going to be gossiped about behind this!"

Qin Keqing was so heartbroken when she heard Daiyu's words. These words were much sharper than Xichun's vulgar words. However, this time she only knew one thing, not the other, and she could not explain the reason inside.

"Girl, this matter is not what you imagined, it's just a bit of a last resort. Miss Xichun knows a little, so you might as well ask her!"

When Jia Li arrived at Lin's mansion, Daiyu was excited and just focused on being happy. She forgot to ask about this. Now, listening to Qin Keqing's words, it seems that there is something else in it.

"Good sister..."

Seeing Daiyu's expression of being reluctant to speak, Xichun felt a little embarrassed when she pouted her mouth. After all, this matter was really hard to say. She was the eldest lady of the Duke of Ningguo's Mansion. If the matter was spread, not only her, but also Jia Li's reputation might be damaged.

Xichun's eyes rolled, "You promise, I won't say it out!"

Look at Xichun's little appearance, Daiyu clicked her smooth forehead, and then swore to the sky in Xichun's nervous expression, "Okay, okay, I swear that it's not OK. I promise not to say a word about what Xichun told me, otherwise I will let me..."

Seeing Daiyu not speaking, Xichun couldn't help but say, "If it is leaked, you will never be my sister-in-law again!"

Daiyu yelled, this little girl was so cute, not everyone liked his brother, of course she was not included in it, so Daiyu was a little hesitant, should she be used to curse this matter?

"Okay! Since you can't guarantee it, it means you are hiding a traitor, and you are not allowed to say it in Qin!"

Xichun rolled her eyes twice, warning Qin Keqing not to leak the secret as if she was angry.

Daiyu said with some amusement, "Okay, if I say it, I will make me lonely for the rest of my life and never get married for the rest of my life. This is OK!"

Xichundun spent a while and thought about it. It was in line with his own opinion and he did not force it.

"Actually, this matter is not a secret in the East Mansion. A long time ago, my brother had dealt with some people for this matter. But this time, after my brother went out of the house, my brother became more and more serious, and Qin Keqing and Li were forced to do so!"

"What's the matter?"

Xichun seemed a little embarrassed and hesitated. After a while, two words popped out, "Take off the ashes!"

Daiyu didn't react at first, what was going on with the ashes, but when she saw Qin's pretty blushing monkey butt, she suddenly realized.

The theory of "Piaohui" actually originated from the people, and there are several other statements, but there are two types of them that are more popular, and Daiyu doesn't know.

First, when you are stolen, you should bend down and kneel on the ground, which will make your knees dirty. The knees and daughter-in-law are homophones, and the knees are dirty. The hidden meaning is to stolen the daughter-in-law. Therefore, the metaphor of the father-in-law stealing the daughter-in-law is called stolen.

Secondly, there is a lot of burning tin foil in the stove that burns in the temple. Over time, large pieces are formed, and the monks will dig it out and sell it for money. Later, when the people next to the temple find out, they also come to the stove to steal tin. Because the tin daughter-in-law is homophone, it is extended to the cryptic word of the father-in-law stealing daughter-in-law.

Of course, such vulgar legends cannot be heard in Daiyu's ears, but she knew the other two. Daiyu, who has loved literati and poets since childhood, not only cared about the poems and essays of great ancient poets, but also often paid attention to those romantic affairs, two of which were about scattering ashes.

The first one is about Wang Anshi. According to legend, Wang Anshi's son died early and his daughter-in-law was very beautiful.

Wang Anshi's wife probably died at the same time. So in order to mourn his wife, Wang Anshi buried a love poem in the incense burner at home. His daughter-in-law discovered it while burning incense and also buried it in the incense burner. So the two walked together. Of course, this incident was caused by peeling ashes when burning incense, so later generations extended it to father-in-law stealing his daughter-in-law's wife.

Of course there is another saying. After Wang Anshi's son died, he built another house for his daughter-in-law in the backyard. In ancient times, he did not remarry, but kept his rituals. For chaste women and even chastity archways issued by the court, he might be worried that his daughter-in-law would be in trouble and often monitor him. The daughter-in-law misunderstood and wrote a poem on the wall and said: "The romantic one will never fall into other people's homes." After Wang Anshi saw this, he used his nails to deduct the poem. Because it was a lime wall, it was said to be a piece of dust.

Another romantic event is about the great writer Su Dongpo. Dongpo lost his wife in his later years and lived with his son and daughter-in-law. His son was a little stunned. Su Dongpo, who had not entered the study for a long time, came to the study. The table was covered with dust. Dongpo, who was idle, wrote lines on the dusty table with his fingers.

"A pipa in the green gauze tent. Even if there is spring, I dare not play it." At this time, my daughter-in-law came in and saw what my father-in-law wrote, and continued the sentence below. "If my father-in-law wants to play a song, the water will not flow to outsiders' fields."

As soon as his son came in, Su Dongpo hurriedly brushed the words on the table with his sleeves. The son asked, "What is the father doing?" Su Dongpo hurriedly replied, "Tearing off the ashes". From then on, "Tearing off the ashes" spread like wildfire.

Although things are very different in these situations, the truth in them coincides with each other, that is, "The father-in-law steals his wife!"
