098 It's just about looking at faces
"Master, please, please spare the child this time...... She's your own flesh and blood, sir!"
The woman in the make-up gown threw herself forward and grabbed one of Adis's arms, crying bitterly and pleading.
The figure of the girl crawling on the ground trembled, and the small brown embroidered satin jacket on her body revealed the cotton wool inside, all of which were traces of being whipped by the whip.
Although her clothes were not thin in winter, she still bit her lower lip tightly, and her face was full of tears from the pain.
"You still dare to intercede for her!" Ardis waved the woman away and said angrily: "First, I threatened to come to the door of Mengtang to discuss marriage with our Agui Mansion in front of the public, and smeared the reputation of Yinglian Mansion in vain! Later, he even used such vicious means to frame Crescent Moon for a private meeting with others! Tell me, which of these cases is a trivial matter? Child? I, Addis, have lived most of my life, and I have never seen such a vicious child! Where does she look like a child, she is clearly a demon who comes to collect debts!"
When the words fell, he whipped down again.
Zhang Jiajiyu screamed, trembling and shrunk at the foot of the offering table, his lips were bitten and bloodied, but there was a resentment in his eyes, and he didn't look like he was about to beg for mercy and admit his mistake.
The more she did this, the more angry Ardis became, and despite the pleas of the woman beside her, he whipped down the whip in his hand again and again.
"Bastard, you still don't know how to repent! You know you've almost caused a catastrophe!"
"Smack!"
The whip fell and raised.
"Ahh
Zhang Jiajiyu's painful cold sweat soaked his hair, and the whip was whipped again on the wound that had already formed, and the pain was worse for a while, and the hot stinging sensation drilled into the bones, and the spirit of the person who hurt became trance, no matter how unwilling Zhang Jiajiyu was, but he was only a half-grown child, and finally couldn't help but start crying out, shouting intermittently that he knew he was wrong.
At this time, she even believed that if she resolutely refused to give in, her Ama was afraid that she would really be able to take her life!
She hadn't been able to sleep all night since she came back last night. I am full of anxiety about my next situation, for fear that the news will reach Ama Eniang's ears through the mouth of others early tomorrow morning.
She also thought that she would inevitably be punished, and even thought of many excuses. But the fact is that Ardis didn't even go to Taichang Temple, and it is said that he immediately turned back when he heard the news on the way. Without giving her any chance to react at all, she dragged her directly to the ancestral hall and asked her to kneel, and before she could even say a word, the whip had already fallen on her body.
But begging for mercy didn't seem to be of use, and the angry Addis didn't care about anything. The strength of his subordinates has increased unabated.
It's understandable that little girls are a little petty on weekdays, but who would have thought that a child who is only about to turn thirteen years old can use such a shady method!
Even if he didn't beat her to death today, he would have to take half of her life, otherwise, not only would he have no way to explain this matter to Amma, but he would also have no face to say goodbye to Mengtang Gong and Feng Yatou!
"Sir...... Master...... Please......"
Aunt Zheng's crying was dark, and she had no strength to stop Adis again, and for a while she could only slump at his feet, grabbing him by the corners of his clothes and begging incessantly.
Ardis also seemed to be tired from the fight, and threw the whip in his hand. kicked Aunt Zheng away.
"If you hadn't indulged her in every possible way, how could she have the audacity to do such a rebellious thing!
"Yes, it's all the concubine's lax discipline, it's all the concubine's fault......" Aunt Zheng burst into tears.
The moment the whip fell to the ground, Zhang Jiajiyu's whole person suddenly relaxed, but his eyes rolled and he fainted.
Aunt Zheng hurriedly rushed forward, but heard Adis say: "Take your aunt back to the West Cross Courtyard! Within three days, no one is allowed to approach the ancestral hall for half a step without my permission!"
After speaking. There were two maids who were guarding the door and were already soaked in cold sweat and marched into the ancestral hall, helping Aunt Zheng from left to right.
Aunt Zheng, who was weak, was overwhelmed, and she fell into a coma for a while, which saved the two maids a lot of effort.
Ardis instructed his subordinates to guard it. A calm face walked out of the ancestral hall.
The sky outside was still dark, not much brighter than in the ancestral hall.
The cold wind blew, and the young man waiting outside the ancestral hall raised his head to look at his father.
"Amma. ”
He had been waiting outside the ancestral hall, listening to Aunt Zheng's pleading, as well as Zhang Jiajiyu's bitter and piercing cry.
That sound makes my scalp tingle, and I can't help but want to shiver.
But he has always been soft-hearted. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even have the slightest idea of going in to dissuade his father.
What he still has in his mind now is helplessness and fear.
Helplessly, everything changed overnight, and I was afraid that the crescent moon would almost be given such a terrible reputation.
Addis glanced at his son and sighed heavily, as if to relieve all the anguish and irritability in his chest.
But no.
The gloomy sky was even more depressing, and the father and son left the ancestral hall all the way to the front yard, neither of them spoke.
It happened too suddenly.
Yesterday, it was possible to become a family member who was close to each other, but today he suddenly almost became an enemy.
"Ama ......"
Na Yancheng stopped, looked at the back of Adis walking in front and shouted.
Ardis also stopped, turned to look at his son.
The young man who is full of energy on weekdays is a little decadent at this time.
"This thing...... What are we going to do?" asked Na Yancheng.
"I'm going to Yinglian Mansion right now, and I'm going to pay compensation to Mengtang in person. Adis frowned a pair of thick eyebrows, and said solemnly: "Although it is fortunate that there was no big mistake in the end, but your sister's words and deeds are there, no matter what, our Agui Mansion is bound to give Yinglian Mansion an explanation." ”
Na Yancheng nodded a little stiffly.
Yes, fortunately, it didn't make a big mistake.
Otherwise, what kind of face would there be to face the Feng family......
Still, he felt out of breath.
I can't say what it was for.
"And...... The crescent moon's family affair is really coincidentally overdone. I've always felt that it shouldn't be as simple as it seems. Addis said thoughtfully.
Na Yancheng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked, "What does Ama mean?"
Ardis gave his son a deep look.
Later, he said: "According to my understanding of Mengtanggong, he is by no means an ambiguous person, if the family affairs of the crescent moon have really been secretly finalized, then when I discussed the family affairs with him yesterday, he will never say a word about this matter......
Na Yancheng's eyes lit up in an instant.
"Amma. I am with you to the Ying Lian Mansion to plead guilty. He said hurriedly.
He also felt that the crescent moon's sudden engagement was too strange.
The father and son prepared a generous gift and boarded the gate of Yinglian Mansion before noon.
Before that, the father and son would never have imagined. What awaits them is what awaits them—
In his imagination, Mengtanggong, who was angry and chilled by this incident, was sitting in the flower hall chatting with the old servant, and the smile was called a close mouth.
When he saw that they were invited in, he smiled and beckoned them to sit down, and blamed them for coming. What else to bring.
There is no sense of estrangement or alienation because of the incident of Xiangshan Villa yesterday......
He even looked more energetic than usual, and his complexion was at least four or five years younger......
I also deliberately picked out a regular dress that looked very festive, and the maroon color was printed with the pattern of group blessing to wear on my body, and the white braids were also extraordinarily shiny, and I was closer, as if I could faintly smell the fragrance of hair oil......
On the whole, it is full of a sense of déjà vu of an old man talking about juvenile madness......
Both the father and son had a period of apprehension.
I don't know what that's all about......
After losing his mind for a moment, Ardis barely regained some of his senses, and did not really forget the purpose of his trip.
"Mengtanggong, what happened at Mr. Yuan's place yesterday, the younger generation heard it early this morning...... The little girl is stubborn. He almost made a big mistake because he was so confused that he made such an unforgivable mistake!" He said, bowed down and bowed for a long time, refusing to stand up straight, and blamed himself with shame on his face: "If it weren't for the fact that it was too difficult to come and ask for sin, the younger generation would really have no face to see Mengtang Gong again......"
He sighed heavily.
Na Yancheng was busy with Shi Li, and his face was wrinkled because of his complicated mood.
"What do you mean?"
Feng Yinglian hurriedly left the chair, helped the father and son with one hand, shook his head with a smile, and said: "It is common for some conflicts between children to have some contradictions, although Miss Guifu's words and deeds are inappropriate. But it's not the fault of the virtuous nephew, it's enough to punish and discipline him to have a long memory, where can he do so?"
The old man has always been a very clear person who is one yard to one yard, right and wrong.
Of course. Sometimes it's just decent words.
The reason why the old man was able to maintain an open-minded attitude in this matter this time was because his granddaughter was not really harmed, and he also achieved his own 'calculation' by mistake - if it weren't for the image and discipline of the elders, he would also like to prepare a generous gift to thank Ah Guifu in turn!
How did Addis know about his 'scheming', only when he cared about the friendship between the two families and was magnanimous and didn't care. For a while, I was both ashamed and moved, and my eyes couldn't help but turn red, and I was about to shed tears.
Seeing this, Feng Yinglian hurriedly said a few more words of comfort.
The two sat down and talked for a long time, and Ardis apologized again and again, and finally talked about Feng Jiwen's family affairs.
Finally waiting for the point he wanted to hear, Na Yancheng unconsciously tensed his body.
After Feng Yinglian paused, he opened his mouth with a smile on his face.
"The child of the Niu Cobalt family is something I have liked for a long time. Although his family background is not good, he is diligent and motivated, and he is humble and polite, and he is a very good young man. The old man did not hesitate to express his appreciation for this future grandson-in-law.
"Before that...... Why haven't you heard this talk about it?" asked Adis tentatively.
The 'before' he said was obviously when he came to talk to Feng Yinglian yesterday about his son's relationship with Feng Jiwen.
If it were someone else, he could understand that the other party was ambiguous and wanted to observe and observe more on both sides, so he didn't make up his mind for a while. But the other party is Feng Yinglian, so he will never think like this.
"I'm not afraid of jokes about my nephew. Feng Yinglian said this, but his tone was very straightforward, and he couldn't hear the slightest hint of being afraid of other people's jokes: "The child's temperament of the crescent moon can be seen by anyone with a clear eye, and he is a very eye-catching person, and he has not nodded when he talked about this matter before, until the two met by chance yesterday at Zicai, and this can be regarded as an agreement......
Extremely heavy eye rim ......
Ardis had a momentary stutter.
Na Yancheng's cheek muscles trembled.
The crescent moon is ...... again
Feng Jiwen, who was holding Jingxue and brushing her hair in the Tang courtyard, sneezed.
The old man ignored the strange expressions of the father and son of Addis, and continued: "This kind of thing is really unstoppable, and the two children have the right eyes, and I, as a grandfather, will not have any opinions." ”
Fate?
Looking at the right eye?
It's just a good face, why do you have to use these words to cover it up......
Everyone understands people, so it doesn't make sense to say that......
"I see......" Addis nodded with a complicated expression.
It turned out that the crescent moon had just nodded yesterday.
So when I encountered such things in the library, I took them to block the trouble.
There's really nothing wrong with that.
It happened to avoid a disaster, and it also made him feel some guilty.
After all, if that kind of thing really becomes a foregone conclusion, the subsequent impact will not be irreparable or offset no matter how he makes amends.
The rest of the girl's life will be covered with such an indelible stain.
Thinking of this, Addis couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "It's also the crescent moon that is smart, otherwise I don't know where the situation will deteriorate." "Not only Yinglian Mansion, but also their Agui Mansion will be charged with treachery, and even the crime of disobeying the emperor's will.
When Feng Yinglian heard this, he accepted this praise very calmly for his granddaughter.
He nodded and said, "When I heard about the Qilin Tower later, I almost broke out in a cold sweat. In the end, the dissolution of the marriage contract between your mansion and the Yuan family has not really been settled, and it is definitely not ......something you and I can afford to commit such a crime as Tianwei."
Fortunately, the slap of the crescent moon was timely, and while the anger came out on the spot, the situation was controlled.
The old man felt that he was about to become his granddaughter's number one brain-dead fan.
Everything her granddaughter does seems to be right.
Even beating people is so bad that you can't find the slightest mistake, and you can't criticize if you want to......
"It's all my fault for my poor discipline......" Referring to this incident, Ardis was also in a cold sweat: "I have already punished that child, although this matter has eliminated everyone's truth because of the engagement of the crescent moon, but there are still some impacts, so I plan to make it public later when I withdraw from the Yuan family......"
Na Yancheng pursed his lips when he heard this.
Feng Yinglian nodded in agreement, and added: "It's best to wait until the crescent moon is married." ”
In this way, we can completely avoid the possibility of being used by people with intentions to make a fuss.
"Mengtanggong reminds us. On the Yuan family's side, I temporarily used the reason that I still needed to seek Amma's opinion on this matter, and delayed a reply for a while. When Addis said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When he spoke again, he asked, "What is the wedding date of the crescent moon...... Is it settled?" )
