Chapter XXVI

Mrs. Chengenhou Xu looked at her second daughter-in-law Min with displeasure: "What's going on with the fifth girl? It's okay to lose her temper with her third sister in front of me, it's common for sisters to have a small quarrel between them." But running away at such a move is not the etiquette that a girl like us should have. Also, her four sisters are all sick like this, and she also asks why she wants to withdraw from the election, what is she thinking in her heart? Could it be that she thinks that a companion is more important than her fourth sister's body?

Min lowered his head and said: "Madame is angry, my daughter-in-law knows that the five girls are willful and messing around, and she will definitely discipline her well when she turns around." ”

Xu Shi is not very optimistic about Min's discipline of his daughter: "What else can you do? Treat her coldly, say some accusatory words to the gang, blindly be strict, and then she will lose her temper with you? You know that she is a stubborn person, and she eats soft rather than hard, so why can't she speak softly? What is the point of the mother and daughter making such a fuss now, not like relatives, but like enemies?"

Min thought to himself, the whole family was soft on Qin Jinrong, and if she, the only mother who could teach her the rules with a straight face, would also be soft, Qin Jinrong would become more and more lawless. The reason why this child has developed today's temper is not because she has been spoiled since she was a child? Besides, what is the strictness of her like this? She grew up in the Min family, and the education she received was much stricter than that. Qin Jinrong was just disciplined by her mother with a cold face, and what she taught was all right, she had never been scolded or beaten, she ate and wore everything carefully on weekdays, and there was also friendship between brothers and sisters, what else was missing?

Min secretly decided in his heart that he would discipline his daughter well, but on the other hand, he had to give in to Xu's mother-in-law: "Madam is right, when the daughter-in-law goes back, she will discuss with the third master to see how to teach the five girls." ”

Xu Shi saw through that the Min family only wanted to be yang and yin, and shook his head: "That's it, you still have Brother Duan to take care of, the five girls have been narrower than others since they were children, and they have a domineering temperament. It's better for my grandmother to work harder and discipline your daughter for a few years. ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Min even stood up: "Madame's words are serious, this is the responsibility of the daughter-in-law, how can I bother you?"

Xu Shi said lightly: "It doesn't take much trouble, the yard where she lives is not far from me, and now that the school has stopped classes, let her come to me every morning, talk to me, and go back after dinner in the evening, and do her homework here." If there's anything wrong, I'll be able to point her out. I've lived to be in my fifties, so I'm a little bit knowledgeable, and I can probably afford to teach her. You don't have to talk about my hard work or anything, I just open my mouth, how hard can I go?"

Min wanted to speak and stopped, Yao saw this, and hurriedly smiled and started a round: "Madame, this is thinking about the granddaughters, there is nothing to do at home in the winter, if there is a little granddaughter by her side to talk and laugh, wouldn't you be happy? Brother and sister, don't postpone it, you and the third brother have something to do all day and night, let the five girls accompany the lady, just as filial piety for your husband and wife." ”

Min smiled at this time: "Sister-in-law is right. The third master often told me on weekdays that he couldn't serve in front of his wife every day, and there was always some regret in his heart, if the fifth girl could do a filial piety for her father, the third master and I would naturally be happy. I'm afraid that the five girls will be spoiled on weekdays, and they will not be sensible, which will make Mrs. angry. ”

Xu said: "It is precisely because I know that the fifth girl has shortcomings that I want to take her with me and teach her carefully." Don't think that children have a little temper, it's just a trivial matter. Just look at what Jinyi in the second room has become now, and you will know how important a girl's upbringing is. The third child has to go to the yamen every day, and the third daughter-in-law has to take care of her son, and she is used to being strict on weekdays, and she will come as hard as she talks to the five girls, so that the child and you seem to be an enemy, you say east, she must go west, you tell her to sit, she has to stand. She won't listen to anything you teach her. If this continues, how do you know that our long house will not raise a second Qin Jinyi? What will the second room look like in the future, I don't know, the horizontal and vertical rooms have already been separated. But if there is really such an unscrupulous girl in our long house, I will come to the Nine Springs in the future, and I will not have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors of the Qin family!"

As soon as he said this, everyone hurriedly stood up and stood solemnly, bowed their heads to listen to the training, and even Qin Hanzhen followed. Mr. Zeng sat there a little embarrassed, so he could only pretend to be calm and reduce his sense of existence.

Fortunately, the topic of Qin Jinrong passed quickly, and everyone re-discussed Qin Jinyi's calculation of Qin Jinchun.

Mr. Zeng first said: "Today's matter, the fifth girl has been wronged. Now that she is sick, she will recuperate in the house first, but in the second room, I am afraid that she still has to hand over a letter and say it. Besides, if I don't know the truth about this matter, it's fine, but now that I know, if the crown princess asks, I won't dare to hide it. Please also ask the lady for forgiveness. ”

Xu smiled and said: "Sir's words are serious, our two governments are acting above board, and today it is indeed Sister Yi who has done something wrong and is unreasonable." For the sake of the reputation of the Qin family, it is not good for us to publicize the ugliness of the family. But if there are nobles in the palace who ask, how dare we deceive?" Of course, if the nobles don't ask, then Mr. Zeng should not reveal too much.

Mr. Zeng understood the meaning of Xu's words, and said with a smile: "Madame understands righteousness. "Actually, since the crown princess has rewarded Qin Jinchun's things, she will definitely ask when she turns around. And Mr. Zeng himself has no intention of concealing it, this kind of thing should have greeted the crown princess earlier, lest Qin Jinyi get into trouble in the future, but it will affect her, the former Xixi.

Mr. Zeng came with him under the banner of sending the students home. Now that Qin Jinchun arrived at the Chengenhou Mansion safely, and took medicine to rest, she was about to leave. Qin Hanzhen hurriedly stood up: "Shall I go back with my husband?" She thought that Mr. Zeng was going back to the Yongjiahou Mansion or the residence in the back street.

Mr. Zeng smiled and pressed her hand: "It's okay, the crown princess didn't worry about the fifth girl, so she asked me to send her back." Now that I've finished my errand, I have to go back to the palace on an errand. The third girl will go home by herself, I have something to do for a while, and I am afraid that it will take a few days to give you a lesson. ”

Qin Hanzhen sent Mr. Zeng into the car and left the house before turning back. At this time, Xu Shi and the others had already moved back to Songfeng Hall, and they were no longer crowded in the Mingyue Dock, so she also followed them to Songfeng Hall.

Qin Jinrong's matter is the internal affairs of the long house, and Qin Hanzhen has no intention of interjecting. Although she and Qin Jinyi are both flesh and blood of the second room, and the second room is separated from the long room, Qin Jinchun's entry into the palace to participate in the selection of the emperor's granddaughter's companion was recommended by the long room, and the trip to the palace was also purchased with the help of the Yao family of the long room. Now that Qin Jinyi has harmed people without saying hello, can't Changfang ask for an explanation?

Qin Hanzhen asked Xu and Yao what they planned to do: "Those who make mistakes should naturally be punished." Even if the eldest sister is favored in the second room, she can't mess around, right?

Xu Shi said lightly: "Since we have split up the family, we have too much control, and your second uncle and grandmother should complain." I didn't intend to meddle in my own affairs, but my daughter was raised by them, and now that something has happened, the second room should also have an explanation for the grandson. The four girls are sick and it's inconvenient to move, so stay and recuperate. We are not the kind of people who don't know how to feel sorry for the child, and we know that the child is sick, and we have to toss her. The four girls have almost been raised in our family in the past few years, and they are also close to our long house. If your second uncle and grandmother don't like her, then it's better to simply give the child to us. Our family has a big business, and there is no shortage of her bowl of rice. It's just that from now on, if your second uncle and grandmother want to borrow the child for any benefit, don't think about it anymore. We have a long house to raise a daughter for the second room, and we don't charge his family's food expenses, which is kind enough, and there is no reason to post it upside down. If they are not convinced, then everyone will ask relatives and friends to evaluate and judge who is right and who is wrong. ”

If relatives and friends are really invited to comment, Qin Jinyi's reputation will really stink on the street, and the second room will be spurned by all relatives and friends. The Xue family still expects the eldest granddaughter to be able to climb a good family, how can she agree to such a thing? It is estimated that she will have to back down in the end. But in this way, Qin Jinchun will really become a person in the long house in the future. The binding force of the second room on her will certainly be weakened, but what should Xiao Xue do?

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and said to Xu Shi with a smile: "Uncle and grandmother are thoughtful, then I will tell my grandmother to go when I go back." If the second uncle and grandmother want to come to the door to quarrel with you, I will accompany my grandmother to help you. The second uncle and grandmother always laughed at us grandparents as shrews in the countryside, if we didn't let the second uncle and grandmother see our real skills in quarreling, wouldn't we have borne this false name in vain?"

Xu Shi burst out laughing when he heard it: "You girl is really ......" but he was used in his heart. Qin Hanzhen stood in place of Sanfang and chose the side of Changfang. At that time, the second room will naturally only have to retreat. And if Sanfang really came forward, with Qin Bai, the master of the Holy Family, supporting him, how much confidence could the Xue family have to shout for the long room?

The long room and the third room were full of laughter and laughter, and they were relaxed, but the atmosphere in the second room was very different.

Qin Bofu soon heard the news in the palace, and when he learned that his youngest daughter had not been selected for the final list of four, he only felt that it was expected, but he was extremely angry. After inquiring carefully, he learned that his youngest daughter withdrew from the election in the middle of the East Palace, and he was puzzled again. Since they have all entered the palace, why do they have to withdraw from the election?

Resting at noon, he didn't care about eating, so he rushed home, wanting to find his youngest daughter to ask what was going on, but who knew that Qin Jinchun went directly to Chengenhou's Mansion after leaving the palace, and he was not at home at all. However, Qingmei was ordered to come back and report the letter, and she was crying and crying about her girl's grievances: "The girl was splashed with cold water, and she was already soaked, and the eldest girl was still blocking the door, not allowing us to come in, saying that our girl wants to get ahead, stepping on her head, is dreaming." What she can't get, we girls can't get. The girl had no choice, so she took us to Yongjiahou Mansion in a carriage, asked the three girls to help, and finally changed into clean clothes, borrowed a carriage, and took advantage of the banner of Yongjiahou Mansion to travel all the way to catch up with the selection. But the girl caught a cold in the morning, and before she could reach the princess, she couldn't hold it anymore. The girl was very sick, and she was afraid that she would bring disaster to the nobles and bring disaster to the family, so she had to withdraw from the election. If you are the first to say that you withdraw from the election, you can also get a word of praise from the nobles. At that time, the people of the East Palace Palace had already found out that the girl was wrong, and if they asked people to shout first, it would be a matter of offending people......"

She wiped a handful of tears, followed what the third girl Qin Hanzhen taught, and finally stabbed her again: "Our girl doesn't dare to say that the eldest girl is not, but what the eldest girl did is really chilling." Our girl's future is ruined, and she still feels sorry for his wife, uncle and grandmother, saying that he is afraid that he will not be able to do what he promised his wife and grandfather before......"
