Chapter 39: Punishment for kneeling

Mrs. Xu had just led the two children out of the house, and Mrs. Yan lowered her face and said in a low voice, "The master asked you to read and learn calligraphy, what have you learned?

Hanyu stood straight, his eyes moist as water, and he didn't reply.

Old Madam Yan said angrily, "If you are not filial and unkind, you are proud and humble at a young age, and as the eldest sister, you are unkind to your younger brother." ”

Hanyu only listened to her grandmother's reprimands one after another, her eyes half-lowered, and her face was expressionless.

Such an act was seen by outsiders and thought that the Yan family had no way to discipline her, so they locked the eldest lady in the Buddha hall and knelt for two hours before letting her out. ”

Mama Han hesitated for a moment.

"Mama Han, I can't move you!" Old Madam Yan stood up.

"The old lady is angry, the eldest lady is a child after all, she can't stand kneeling for so long!" Mama Zhou hurriedly knelt down and pleaded.

"Presumptuous slave, give me a slap!"

Mama Han saw Old Madam Yan's Tie Qing face, stepped forward, and just raised her hand.

"Stop!" I only heard a soft and delicate voice, "Hanyu doesn't entertain outsiders, it's Hanyu's fault." I went to the temple and walked by myself. Mama Zhou is my nurse, and my mother will punish her if she makes a mistake, and she hopes that my grandmother will raise her noble hand. ”

Hanyu looked half-down, turned around and left.

"Miss. Mama Zhou knelt and turned around.

Old Madam Yan was furious in her heart, and turned a blind eye to Mama Zhou, only stood in front of Mama Han, and said, "There are guests arriving today, let the kitchen prepare more dinner." ”

Here in Shou'an Hall, Mama Zhou bowed her head and knelt in the hall, and Hanyu knelt in the Buddha Hall to look up at Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Mrs. Yan hadn't seen her mother's family for a long time, and she was naturally very affectionate to the Xu family who came to visit her because of her longing. Mrs. Xu brought her two daughters to the Yan family, and before coming to the Yan family, she also inquired about the situation of the Yan family, and knew that the Yan family had two young ladies who were the same age as the young daughters of the Xu family, so she opened her mouth and asked, Mrs. Yan didn't like Hanyu, but she wouldn't cut her own face, so she called Hanyu to accompany the young visitor.

How did Old Madam Yan know that Hanyu spoke coldly and had no heart to entertain, so she was angry.

Mrs. Xu is a good person, and after listening to Hanyu's unceremonious words, she didn't show it at all, and only said a bunch of close and flattering words.

In Mingruo Courtyard, Lin Suxin had just come out of the Buddhist hall, and when she heard the rain come up, she said, "Madam, the eldest lady was locked up in the Buddhist hall by the old lady. ”

Lin Suxin paused, her good-looking eyes drooped, and her gentle temperament was a little more pitiful.

Listening to the rain continued, "Mama Zhou is also kneeling in Shou'an Hall. ”

"What happened?"

The old lady called Hanyu to accompany the guests, as if Hanyu said something to annoy the old lady, so she was punished. ”

"I see. Lin Suxin slowly spoke, "Go and ask someone to add a cushion to Hanyu." ”

"Madame, don't worry, the eldest lady is smart now, and people have added a cushion. ”

"I can't help her with anything. Lin Suxin's eyes were full of tears, and she spoke in a soft voice.

"Madam, don't cry, the eldest lady is so smart and willing to be close to you. You have to hold on, and Madame has to watch the eldest lady grow up. ”

"I know. Lin Suxin's eyes were shining, and she spoke in a soft voice, "Listen to the rain, go and ask someone to prepare some things she likes to eat, and send them to her when Hanyu comes out." I went to rest for a while, and Mama Lin came back from Gu's house and asked her to call me directly. ”

In the previous life, Lin Suxin pushed Hanyu into the water and blamed herself, and Hanyu was also estranged from her because of this matter. Lin Suxin had no face to see Hanyu, so she had to ask secretly, but although Hanyu was usually gentle, she was also stubborn, and she would not accept it if she knew that her mother helped her.

Yan Hanyu, who walked into the Buddhist hall, saw the futon on the ground, and did not look back, but only said, "Add a layer of cushion." ”

The maid of Shou'an Hall, who followed up, half-hung her head, but replied, "The old lady asked the eldest lady to kneel, please let the eldest lady kneel." ”

"I'm going to add a layer of cushion and kneel again. She spoke again.

"Miss, please don't embarrass the slave. ”

"Presumptuous, did I say I won't kneel?let you add a cushion!" Hanyu turned around, with a faint anger on her little face, "Do you want to invite my grandfather to come, so that you servants will not bully others?" My grandmother said to let me kneel, or did she say that she was going to break my leg? Isn't kneeling for two hours without a cushion to protect me and break my leg?"

"The slave and maid don't dare, so the slave and maid will go and get it. ”

The servant knelt down, got up again and again, took the cushion and put it on the futon. A crime of bullying others, at least she will be imprisoned, and at worst she will be driven out of the house, she can't afford it.

If you want to say that this is ungrateful, the Xu family is the real ungrateful, Yan Hanyu remembers it clearly.

In the previous life, the Xu family gradually fell into decline in Yizhou, so he thought of a way to get close to his grandmother, and got the recommendation of his grandfather to find an official position in Bianjing. Uncle Xu doesn't have much ink in his belly, and he failed the scientific examination twice, but he is a very good argument, after passing the official road, the official fortune is prosperous, and he is like a fish in water in the officialdom, and he was promoted, and later married the Lu Xiang family. Since then, he has been high and low, and he has been lukewarm to the Yan family.

And the two young ladies of the Xu family just now, she will not forget their faces, she was friendly and gentle to her in front of people, but she sneered at her later, saying that she was pitiful and helpless, and even dared to attack her. is as innocent as her, she was not angry or complaining in the previous life, she was silent, and swallowed all the grievances in her stomach. As the main family, because her grandmother rarely took the initiative to call her to Shou'an Hall, she happily came to accompany the guests, but she went back with a stomach full of grievances.

Now in the face of the people of the Xu family, she will only treat them arrogantly, the granddaughter of the Taifu family, she will not abandon her noble arrogance.

The faint sandalwood, the incense curls, slowly turns into incense ash, and the faint sound of talking outside reaches the ears.

The vague pain in her legs, coupled with the feeling of stiffness, reminded her of her previous life. Obedient, well-behaved, sensible, docile, in addition to treating her mother, she is respectful and gentle to every relative, and she is also humble and polite to foreign guests, she obviously does her best in everything, but she still can't get the pity of her grandmother. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was too stupid in her previous life, inferiority and self-pity, which she could obviously abandon, but she had always buried this feeling in her heart.

I don't know how long it took, Hanyu's head was buzzing, and in a daze, only a voice came to his ears.

"Sir. ”

Yan Hanyu turned back slowly, only to see a majestic body standing straight behind her.

"Grandfather......" Her voice was hoarse, clearing her throat, and she shouted again, "Grandfather." ”

"Hurry up. Master Yan half-squatted in front of her and stretched out his hand to help her.

Yan Hanyu's legs were numb and unconscious, and her body leaned towards Yan Maohua without a center of gravity. Even so, she managed to stand up straight.

Yan Maohua looked at her like this, and felt sorry in her heart, she was still a child in the end, no matter how smart she was, she still couldn't miss the stubbornness of a child.
