Xin Yi held on to his painful head, barely knelt up straight, and slowly responded: "My daughter walks alone in Qujiang Pond to enjoy the lotus, and the lotus flowers are extremely beautiful in the night, so I forget the time......

"Nonsense! Even if you really go to enjoy the lotus, why don't you take the maid with you? What kind of system does the official lady go out alone! Do you think you are a woman from the market? Have you ever put the lintel of my Xin Mansion in your eyes?" Xin Qi was so angry that the folds on his face trembled, and he couldn't say anything anymore in the middle of his speech, and staggered to sit down on the chair.

Sun Yuling hurriedly stepped forward, took a brocade and stroked Xin Qi's chest, reproaching Xin Yi: "Sixth girl, look at you, your words and deeds are just vulgar, and now you are still angry with the old man like this, this crime of unfilial piety and disrespect is added to one degree, and you will have to fry the oil pan in hell!"

Xin Zhou, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally straightened up from the soft couch, and she looked at Xin Yi calmly: "Sixth girl, I called you here before dawn this day, for the face of Xinfu and for your reputation." Besides, you are about to marry your eldest grandson, and you should also think about your future. Come. ”

Xin Zhou patted the side of the couch, Xin Yi got up from the ground according to his words, and when he got up, he was dizzy again, and finally sat on the edge of the couch.

Xin Zhou's grandmother, who was as kind as usual, patted the back of Xin Yi's hand: "Six girls, now our grandparents and grandchildren are close to each other, what are you bad to say to your father, just tell your grandmother quietly, grandmother is your master." ”

Although Xin Zhou's words were kind, Xin Yi's heart was slightly tight, and the faint Lingtai was mostly awake.

The sensitivity and depth of this sixty-year-old grandmother, Xin Yi has long seen it. So the gentler she is, the more Xin Yi doesn't dare to take it lightly.

After all, now, she didn't see through this grandmother at all.

"Grandmother Rongyu. The granddaughter really only went to appreciate the lotus, and when she saw the lotus, she forgot the time. As for why I didn't bring the maid, my grandmother knew that I had always only kissed the green butterfly, and remembered that her whiplash had not healed last time, so she was allowed to recuperate in the house, so she went out alone. ”

After saying this, Xin Yi sweated profusely. But she still maintained a calm smile, trying her best not to let Xin Zhou's and other people see anything unusual.

Xin Zhou didn't speak for a while, she smiled and looked at Xin Yi carefully. Xin Yi rarely got so close to Xin Zhou's family, and he looked at her boldly.

Xin Zhou is in his early sixties, and because he is well maintained, he still has fair skin and ruddy cheeks. It is not difficult to see that she must have been a beauty when she was young. Especially the eyes, which hide the essence and transparency that are not suitable for age.

Xin Yi suddenly got tired of a layer of cold sweat.

She had a gut feeling that this Xin Zhou clan was far beyond the range of grandmothers she knew. I'm afraid that in her eyes, no matter how much she plans step by step, she will be like a clown jumping off the beam.

Blessed to the soul, Xin Yi decisively opened his mouth to break the stagnation: "Grandmother, granddaughter went to Qujiangchi to meet the two of them playing against each other, and I was greedy for a long time." ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned, and they didn't understand why Xin Yi suddenly diverted the topic, if this annoyed the old lady, no one could protect her.

Unexpectedly, Xin Zhou's had no different color, but said softly: "Ziqing has never learned to play chess, but now she is also interested?"

Xin Yi was gentle and tame: "Where is the interest, I am still wronged." The two fools reached an impasse, and the onlookers made a bet on who would win. I didn't know how to play chess, and when I saw them betting, I lost interest and was about to leave, but I was caught by those two players, saying that I must be a master if I was not alarmed, and suggested that I make a bet for everyone. ”

Xin Zhoushi smiled: "Gamblers, many followers, few people with true insights. This head bet is like following the 'wind', not to mention that you are still a master who is recognized by the player himself. In the end, almost everyone bets the same as you, right?"

"Exactly. Xin Yi's expression became softer, "I have been wrongfully killed." I left because I didn't know how to play, but I was said to be a master, and the bet I guessed was indeed considered a win. The most terrible thing is that I don't dare to explain yet, because no one believes me, but thinks that I am carrying a shelf, and it is possible to lose my life under the anger of the masses. ”

As he spoke, Xin Yi stroked his chest with his hand, looking panicked. Seeing that everyone in the hall is becoming more and more confused, why did these two people suddenly tell the story.

Xin Zhou's smile grew: "Then how did Ziqing do it?"

"You can only go forward. Maybe I really won the bet?"

"Ziqing is so confident?"

"I had no choice. At the beginning of the chess game, there is no reason to quit. Grandmother is only afraid that she understands better than Ziqing. ”

Although Xin Yi smiled, every word he said seemed to be smashed down by ice slag.

Xin Zhou's eyes flashed for a moment, and then she leaned on the couch as if she was tired: "Son, what to do with the six girls, you follow the rules of the family." ”

Xin Qi was slightly stunned. Seeing that Xin Yi and the old lady were talking and laughing, I thought that the old lady was going to spare Xin Yi again, but I didn't expect to deal with it according to the law.

Xin Yi is calm. If the old lady with a strict family style spares her repeatedly, she will be suspicious. Today's remarks only dispelled the old lady's suspicions.

After all, under the repeated probing of this mysterious grandmother, she couldn't believe that she would show her feet.

At this time, "Mother, do you really follow the family rules?" Xin Qi asked again uneasily.

Xin Zhou simply closed his eyes and looked like he didn't care: "You are the head of the family." I'm an old woman, and I only miss my chess game. I recently saw a Zhenlong chess game in an ancient book, and I haven't thought of a solution yet. Don't bother me with these chores. ”

Xin Qi hurriedly responded, and when he turned his head to look at Xin Yi again, his face was already gloomy and blue: "Sixth daughter, according to the rules of my Xin Mansion, I should have been punished with a cane." But you are about to be engaged to the eldest grandson's family, so you should not be seriously injured or sick, so you will be lightly dismissed. I order you to be grounded in the ancestral ancestral hall for a month, meditate on the wall day and night, and ask my ancestors of the Xin family for their guilt!"

After a pause, Xin Qi glanced at the people in the lower hall majestically, and accentuated his tone: "I will ask someone to deliver the food." No one is allowed to visit during the month. The maid named Green Butterfly in Yutang Pavilion also showed me a good look, saving her from taking pity on her own girl and doing something stupid. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was either indifferent or gloating. Only Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

No one has confirmed the matter of Qujiangchi, and the only Jiang Li is still missing. If she insists on making trouble, it will somehow let the shrewd grandmother find out about the turmoil between her and Wang Lu, which will only add to the trouble at that time.

And the punishment of grounding is already very light, and she is not a character who runs out every day. Staying in the ancestral hall and meditating and rationalizing your thoughts is also beautiful.

"Daddy Xie. The daughter retired. Xin Yi said goodbye according to the rules, and the moment he stood up, he was suddenly dizzy, and at the same time his whole body began to feel hot.

Sick.

This is Xin Yi who stayed alone in the ancestral hall and realized it when he faced the ancestral tablet.

The ancestral hall is in the back garden of Xinfu, which is only open during the family festival, and no one comes and goes on weekdays, and only the small maid comes to clean it for half an hour every morning.

So even in summer, the ancestral hall is cool and quiet. On the offering table is a row of ancestral tablets, which adds to the ghostly atmosphere. If you go deeper into the ancestral hall, the ice-soaked floor tiles can make people freeze their teeth.
