正文 236第八十八章
因为冯素心<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">毒药炼制极为不易,配料也十分复杂,因此在她之后很少有人使用,如今更是极为罕见。
刘氏听到龙姨娘一号脉就说出儿子所中之毒,顿时心中有了希望，急切<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">问：“姐姐可能解此毒？”
龙姨娘摇摇脑袋：“解这毒得用以毒攻毒<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">方法，这孩子身子太虚,此刻解毒他根本就撑不过去。”刘氏身子晃了一晃，身边<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">婢女立刻扶住她,她颤抖这嗓子道：“那,那怎么办？”龙姨娘不以为然<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">撇撇嘴道：“当然是先固本培元，让他<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">身子缓一缓，再解毒啊！”刘氏犹如得了大赦一般,一个头磕在地上,哭道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">能救下<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">儿子<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">命，就是救了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，以后<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">就是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88"><img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">恩人”
龙姨娘忙扶起她，道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">别谢<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们家相公看见<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">这么诚心为儿子，有心给<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们家大少爷积福，才让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">过来看看，要谢啊，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">谢他吧！”刘氏一看杜大壮，身形高大，国字脸，看着浓眉大眼，气势粗豪，倒跟丈夫帮会里那些草莽汉子差不多，她原也是江湖中人，不讲那么多规矩，上前给杜大壮见礼，请他跟自己回漕帮总舵。
就这样，杜大壮和龙姨娘到了漕帮总舵，结识了廖成峰，龙姨娘这些日都在认真<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">为廖爵诊治，这龙姨娘虽然是苗女出身，对用毒一道却是天赋奇才，她先在廖爵身上下了一种蛊毒，用蛊虫将廖爵身上<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">毒一点点吸出，聚集在一个地方，再用药物浸浴，让廖爵<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">身体一点点强壮，采用以毒攻毒<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">方式将蚀心一点点逼出来，每日廖家倒出去<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">洗澡水都是黑色<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">。
不得不说，这廖爵年纪虽小，却极有韧性和耐力，无论多么痛苦都咬牙忍受一声不吭，让龙姨娘很是怜惜。
贞娘听了事情<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">经过，很是松了一口气，笑道：“周大哥刚给<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们传信<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">时候，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们吓了一跳<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，想着<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">爹怎么才出门就惹上了麻烦，谁知竟是这样<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">好事，姨娘救人一命胜造七级浮屠，这是好事啊！”刘氏笑道：“这是菩萨给<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">缘分，是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">儿<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">劫难满了，合该<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">碰上了龙姐姐，救了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">儿逃出生天”
三个人正说这，婢女进来禀报：“大姑娘和二姑娘过来了！”刘氏忙让进来，一边跟贞娘解释道：“是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88"><img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">两个侄女，知道今儿<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">来了，就过来见见。”
门帘子一挑，进来两个十六七岁<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">姑娘，一个鹅蛋脸，眉目清秀，穿着浅粉色妆花缎夹袄，白色马面裙，一个圆脸，杏眼，看着十分甜美，眉宇间英气勃勃，身段丰腴，穿着浅蓝色素绸小袄，真紫色绣缠枝牡丹花压脚<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">挑线裙。
贞娘挑挑眉，这两个姑娘都不是很会打扮穿戴<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">。
刘氏给她介绍道：“这两个是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88"><img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">侄女，这个叫念慈，十七岁，这个小<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">叫念恩，十五岁了。”又跟念慈和念恩说：“这是前儿跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们说<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，杜老爷<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">儿媳妇，贞娘，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们叫嫂子。”
念慈和念恩忙过来见礼，贞娘还礼，客气了几句。
念慈和念恩知道杜大壮两口子是表弟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">救命恩人，这贞娘既是杜家<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">外甥女，又是儿媳妇，还是官家<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">嫡出大小姐，身份跟她们这样<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">平头百姓可不一样，神色谈吐见就不免拘束了很多，好在贞娘性子沉静柔和，谈吐宽和，加之有些疲乏，刘氏瞧了，忙安排了丫鬟带贞娘一行去小憩一会。
龙姨娘亲自带着贞娘去了客房，两人说了一会体己话，龙姨娘见贞娘容色疲惫，就让下人预备了洗澡水，让贞娘去去风尘，好好休息一会，自己去见了杜大壮和杜石头。
这边，贞娘等一走，刘念恩就放松下来，大眼睛咕噜噜<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">转了转，跟姐姐小声道：“姐，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">瞧见了吗？她穿<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">衣衫是月华缎<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">啊！她头上戴<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">那只点翠嵌珊瑚松石葫芦头花好漂亮，上面<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">珊瑚是赤红色，成色真好！”那月华缎是上好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">绸缎，织布时夹了银线，布料在夜晚也能看见光华流动，华丽高贵，价钱也十分昂贵，每匹布要三十多两银子，这样<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">布料只有富贵人家才穿得起，普通<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">百姓只能看看罢了。
念慈白了她一眼，道：“眼皮子越发<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">浅了，她是官家小姐，自然穿戴<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">都是好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，咱们不过是小门户，跟人家比什么？”
这刘氏家是山东文登县人，刘氏<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">父亲是武林中人，年轻时在江湖上颇有名望，可家境平常。刘家就兄妹二人，刘氏自小也跟着父亲学过拳脚，后来跟了廖成峰，成了漕帮帮主夫人，家境才好了许多，刘氏<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">兄长名叫刘志，因为妹妹<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">缘故借着漕帮<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">船做些小生意，可他天生不是个做生意<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">料，赔多赚少，家境一般，好在刘氏时常接济，日子才算过得下去，刘志生意做不好，可在女人上却有些脂粉缘，家中有一妻二妾，二子四女，刘念慈和念恩都是嫡出，刘志觉着女儿在文登这么个小地方找不到什么好婆家，就跟妹妹死活磨着让妹子给两个女儿寻个好人家，刘氏就这么一个哥哥，自己儿子身体不好，对侄女侄儿自然看重些，就答应了哥哥，将两个侄女接了过来。
扬州城百年繁华，来往<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">生意人居多，也不乏大富大贵<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">人家，刘氏托了媒人细细<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">寻，正在给两个侄女找婆家。可刘家姐妹毕竟出身寻常，就算有漕帮夫人侄女<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">头衔也不过是江湖草莽之流，普通人家娶媳妇要<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">是贤惠能干本分，漕帮毕竟是江湖人，人家不敢招惹，富贵人家挑媳妇要身份、家世，更轮不上她们，就是挑妾室，也是要那容貌美丽，知书达理，会些琴棋书画<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，刘家姐妹一样都沾不上，刘氏找了一年也没有找到合适<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">人家，因此十分发愁。
刘氏看看两个侄女，再想想刚刚看见<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">贞娘，心里暗暗叹息，年纪相仿，可容貌出身，行动举止差<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">何止一星半点？看来还是要给两个侄女寻个好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">教养嬷嬷，好生教导一番才是。
贞娘沐浴后靠在榻上小憩了片刻，忍冬拿了干毛巾给她绞头发，一边道：“少奶奶可要吃些点心？<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">瞧着您早上就没吃多少东西，可是胃口不好？”贞娘懒懒<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">摆弄着手上<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">冰玉镯子，点点头道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">不说还不觉得，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">一说还真觉得有些饿了，咱们是在人家做客，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">寻个丫鬟问问有没有，没有就让小厮出去买点回来！<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">想吃点酸酸<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">东西。”忍冬笑着答应出去了。
不一会，端着一盘子点心进来了：“这里<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">刘太太倒是十分细心<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">人，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">刚一开口，那丫鬟就笑着说早就预备了，只是不知道少奶奶这么快就沐浴完了，等着端上来给您尝尝呢，说是她们扬州最出名<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">点心，还说她们奶奶正在预备晚上<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">宴席，还请了戏班子来唱戏呢！”贞娘笑着点头，拿了一块蜂蜜酸枣糕吃了，果然胃口大开，又吃了两块才罢手。
晚上，廖成峰设宴招待杜大壮和杜石头，并请了帮中两个副帮主作陪，内宅中，刘氏也设了席面招待龙姨娘和贞娘，让念慈和念恩作陪，台上唱<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">是余杭调<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">名曲段《追鱼》。
刘氏出身武林，丈夫也是江湖中人，一些礼仪规矩都是这几年应酬些富商太太们才学会<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，好在龙姨娘和贞娘也不甚讲究这些，一边说笑一边看戏，倒也吃<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">尽兴。念恩羡慕贞娘美丽，穿戴华丽，着意巴结：“嫂子，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">手<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">镯子怎么是白色<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">？<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">瞧着人家带<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">都是碧色<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">才好啊？”贞娘微微一笑：“这是冰玉<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，越是颜色浅才越好！”身后伺候<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">忍冬唇角勾了勾，眼波中就带了一丝轻蔑。
台上扮演张珍<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">小生唱到：“碧波潭碧波荡漾，桂花黄疏影横窗，空对此一轮明月，怎奈<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">百转愁肠。”
贞娘很认真<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">看戏，念慈见她听得认真，就问：“嫂子很喜欢看戏？”
“哦，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">是北方人，有些听不懂，少不得仔细听听。”

龙姨娘忙扶起她，道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">别谢<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们家相公看见<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">这么诚心为儿子，有心给<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们家大少爷积福，才让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">过来看看，要谢啊，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">谢他吧！”刘氏一看杜大壮，身形高大，国字脸，看着浓眉大眼，气势粗豪，倒跟丈夫帮会里那些草莽汉子差不多，她原也是江湖中人，不讲那么多规矩，上前给杜大壮见礼，请他跟自己回漕帮总舵。
就这样，杜大壮和龙姨娘到了漕帮总舵，结识了廖成峰，龙姨娘这些日都在认真<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">为廖爵诊治，这龙姨娘虽然是苗女出身，对用毒一道却是天赋奇才，她先在廖爵身上下了一种蛊毒，用蛊虫将廖爵身上<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">毒一点点吸出，聚集在一个地方，再用药物浸浴，让廖爵<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">身体一点点强壮，采用以毒攻毒<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">方式将蚀心一点点逼出来，每日廖家倒出去<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">洗澡水都是黑色<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">。
不得不说，这廖爵年纪虽小，却极有韧性和耐力，无论多么痛苦都咬牙忍受一声不吭，让龙姨娘很是怜惜。
贞娘听了事情<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">经过，很是松了一口气，笑道：“周大哥刚给<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们传信<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">时候，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们吓了一跳<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，想着<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">爹怎么才出门就惹上了麻烦，谁知竟是这样<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">好事，姨娘救人一命胜造七级浮屠，这是好事啊！”刘氏笑道：“这是菩萨给<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">缘分，是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">儿<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">劫难满了，合该<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">碰上了龙姐姐，救了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">儿逃出生天”
三个人正说这，婢女进来禀报：“大姑娘和二姑娘过来了！”刘氏忙让进来，一边跟贞娘解释道：“是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88"><img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">两个侄女，知道今儿<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">来了，就过来见见。”
门帘子一挑，进来两个十六七岁<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">姑娘，一个鹅蛋脸，眉目清秀，穿着浅粉色妆花缎夹袄，白色马面裙，一个圆脸，杏眼，看着十分甜美，眉宇间英气勃勃，身段丰腴，穿着浅蓝色素绸小袄，真紫色绣缠枝牡丹花压脚<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">挑线裙。
贞娘挑挑眉，这两个姑娘都不是很会打扮穿戴<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">。
刘氏给她介绍道：“这两个是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88"><img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">侄女，这个叫念慈，十七岁，这个小<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">叫念恩，十五岁了。”又跟念慈和念恩说：“这是前儿跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们说<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，杜老爷<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">儿媳妇，贞娘，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">们叫嫂子。”
念慈和念恩忙过来见礼，贞娘还礼，客气了几句。
念慈和念恩知道杜大壮两口子是表弟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">救命恩人，这贞娘既是杜家<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">外甥女，又是儿媳妇，还是官家<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">嫡出大小姐，身份跟她们这样<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">平头百姓可不一样，神色谈吐见就不免拘束了很多，好在贞娘性子沉静柔和，谈吐宽和，加之有些疲乏，刘氏瞧了，忙安排了丫鬟带贞娘一行去小憩一会。
龙姨娘亲自带着贞娘去了客房，两人说了一会体己话，龙姨娘见贞娘容色疲惫，就让下人预备了洗澡水，让贞娘去去风尘，好好休息一会，自己去见了杜大壮和杜石头。
这边，贞娘等一走，刘念恩就放松下来，大眼睛咕噜噜<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">转了转，跟姐姐小声道：“姐，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">瞧见了吗？她穿<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">衣衫是月华缎<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">啊！她头上戴<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">那只点翠嵌珊瑚松石葫芦头花好漂亮，上面<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">珊瑚是赤红色，成色真好！”那月华缎是上好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">绸缎，织布时夹了银线，布料在夜晚也能看见光华流动，华丽高贵，价钱也十分昂贵，每匹布要三十多两银子，这样<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">布料只有富贵人家才穿得起，普通<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">百姓只能看看罢了。
念慈白了她一眼，道：“眼皮子越发<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">浅了，她是官家小姐，自然穿戴<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">都是好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，咱们不过是小门户，跟人家比什么？”
这刘氏家是山东文登县人，刘氏<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">父亲是武林中人，年轻时在江湖上颇有名望，可家境平常。刘家就兄妹二人，刘氏自小也跟着父亲学过拳脚，后来跟了廖成峰，成了漕帮帮主夫人，家境才好了许多，刘氏<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">兄长名叫刘志，因为妹妹<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">缘故借着漕帮<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">船做些小生意，可他天生不是个做生意<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">料，赔多赚少，家境一般，好在刘氏时常接济，日子才算过得下去，刘志生意做不好，可在女人上却有些脂粉缘，家中有一妻二妾，二子四女，刘念慈和念恩都是嫡出，刘志觉着女儿在文登这么个小地方找不到什么好婆家，就跟妹妹死活磨着让妹子给两个女儿寻个好人家，刘氏就这么一个哥哥，自己儿子身体不好，对侄女侄儿自然看重些，就答应了哥哥，将两个侄女接了过来。
扬州城百年繁华，来往<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">生意人居多，也不乏大富大贵<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">人家，刘氏托了媒人细细<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">寻，正在给两个侄女找婆家。可刘家姐妹毕竟出身寻常，就算有漕帮夫人侄女<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">头衔也不过是江湖草莽之流，普通人家娶媳妇要<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">是贤惠能干本分，漕帮毕竟是江湖人，人家不敢招惹，富贵人家挑媳妇要身份、家世，更轮不上她们，就是挑妾室，也是要那容貌美丽，知书达理，会些琴棋书画<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">，刘家姐妹一样都沾不上，刘氏找了一年也没有找到合适<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">人家，因此十分发愁。
刘氏看看两个侄女，再想想刚刚看见<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">贞娘，心里暗暗叹息，年纪相仿，可容貌出身，行动举止差<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">何止一星半点？看来还是要给两个侄女寻个好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">教养嬷嬷，好生教导一番才是。
贞娘沐浴后靠在榻上小憩了片刻，忍冬拿了干毛巾给她绞头发，一边道：“少奶奶可要吃些点心？<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">瞧着您早上就没吃多少东西，可是胃口不好？”贞娘懒懒<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">摆弄着手上<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">冰玉镯子，点点头道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">不说还不觉得，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">一说还真觉得有些饿了，咱们是在人家做客，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">寻个丫鬟问问有没有，没有就让小厮出去买点回来！<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">想吃点酸酸<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">东西。”忍冬笑着答应出去了。
不一会，端着一盘子点心进来了：“这里<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">刘太太倒是十分细心<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">人，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">刚一开口，那丫鬟就笑着说早就预备了，只是不知道少奶奶这么快就沐浴完了，等着端上来给您尝尝呢，说是她们扬州最出名<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">点心，还说她们奶奶正在预备晚上<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">宴席，还请了戏班子来唱戏呢！”贞娘笑着点头，拿了一块蜂蜜酸枣糕吃了，果然胃口大开，又吃了两块才罢手。
晚上，廖成峰设宴招待杜大壮和杜石头，并请了帮中两个副帮主作陪，内宅中，刘氏也设了席面招待龙姨娘和贞娘，让念慈和念恩作陪，台上唱<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">是余杭调<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?55qEm.jjwxc.com51d3836c88">名曲段《追鱼》。
