Chapter Ninety-Seven: Midyear Festival (2)
Mrs. Qi's words are equivalent to a pun, at best, it is to praise the other party's good figure, and if it is difficult to say, it is not as good as the maid in the house.
Qingyue also only smiled cooperatively, and Mrs. Qi continued, "Alas, poor Jian'er girl, she has lost her parents at a young age, and I am in pain when I look at it. ”
Qingyue said cleverly, "Madam is kind and compassionate, and she is so good to everyone." ”
This was said to the maids and ladies in the back, Qingyue smiled lightly and held Mrs. Qi, and the group followed the autumn breeze and went to the flower room.
It didn't take long for a cry of surprise to come from inside Hua Xi's room, with sternness and anger, as well as faint sobs and begging for mercy, mixed together, which was very inconsistent with the weather outside.
Mrs. Qi stared at the position in the cabinet with surprised eyes, there were still a few half-burned incense sticks standing inside, the more Mrs. Qi looked at it, the more dazzling it became, and even the few mothers-in-law next to her couldn't hide their surprise, and lowered their heads and inhaled with complicated faces.
Hua Xi's crying pear blossom brought rain, knelt on the ground and sobbed non-stop, her eyes were full of pleading, and her voice trembled, "Madam, it's all Hua Xi's fault, Hua Xi doesn't understand the rules of the house, beg Mrs. to read it on the face of the eldest young master, and give Hua Xi a chance to be filial." ”
Mrs. Qi sighed very deeply, with sternness and helplessness, everyone in the house knew that although Mrs. Qi was a good person, she had a very good set of methods for governing the family, with clear rewards and punishments, and equal emphasis on grace and power, otherwise this family would not be so obedient, no matter what the outside world said, they didn't dare to say a word.
At this moment, after listening to Hua Xi's plea, even if they sympathize, they also have some disdain, after all, the rules of this big family, in the house to light incense and offer cards, but very unlucky, although they will also light a few every festival, fortunately, Mrs. has never checked, can only blame this girl for a bad life. Madame had planned to visit her, but when she saw such things, she tried to pretend not to see her.
Everyone can only stand aside and watch the play quietly. I still want to wait until I go back and quickly put away the tablet.
After listening to Hua Xi's words, Mrs. Qi was even more angry, and glanced at the person kneeling on the ground more majestically, "You can't be blamed for this mistake." After all, how much do you know about the affairs in this wealthy mansion, and no one reminds you of it, and it is not unfortunate that you have committed such a taboo, wouldn't it have caused bad luck to this mansion! The eldest young master is already seriously ill, if he really comes in with evil spirit, don't say it's you, even I can't afford this responsibility!"
"This Zhongyuan ancestor worship, you are also a piece of filial piety, but our woman can't go out to worship. How can it be the same as ordinary farmers, it's not that Mrs. I don't care about human favors, this thing is not in accordance with the rules, no matter who she is, even if Qingyue does it, I have to be punished, such a big mansion can't tolerate this!"
Mrs. Qi's words were very serious. The connotation is quite profound, and when the subordinates on the side heard it, they could only sigh in their hearts, Mrs. is going to be severely punished.
Listen to it. The kneeling legs are almost weak, the other party's intention is obviously to drive herself out of the house, she is okay with the rest, but once she goes out, the chance to see the second son again, isn't there even less......
Come to think of it. Hua Xi couldn't help but complain about Bao Qi in her heart, the other party has lived in Qi Mansion for many days, and she won't know the rules of the house, but she actually invited the tablet back with herself.
"Please forgive Mrs., Mrs. forgive me, I don't know the general situation, I mistakenly violated the taboo in the house, it is definitely not intentional, and I ask Mrs. to forgive me, I will forgive me for my filial piety, I will not have this matter again from now on, what are the rules necessary to ask Mrs. for instructions first, Madam, please forgive me, don't rush flowers out of the house......"
If the other party is hard, even if Mrs. Qi is bored, maybe she will look at her a few times, but although the other party and Na Baoqi are sisters, this temperament is really different, but it can be regarded as a person who understands the times, Mrs. Qi looked out of the door with a gloomy face, and let Hua Xi beg for mercy.
Although it was almost noon, the cool breeze outside showed no sign of calming down, but it was getting colder and colder, whirring more and more energetic, and the open doors and windows also rattled, and a cool breeze came in along the crack in the door, which happened to blow on Hua Xi's body, and Hua Xi shivered in the cold.
Mrs. Qi didn't seem to see it, and she was about to open her mouth, but a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door, followed by another figure, and the person who came in front of her took the lead in rushing to the kneeling Hua Xi as soon as she entered the door, and said in a hurry,
"Sister Xi'er, it's so cold on the ground, get up quickly, be careful that you get sick with a cold!"
Hua Xi hung her head and wept softly and refused to move, Bao Qi felt that Mrs. Qi was deceiving people too much, Hua Xi should not kneel for her anyway, the enshrinement tablet is not a big deal, not to mention that the house has not investigated this matter, take a step back, Hua Xi did not sell the deed to Qi Mansion, why did Mrs. Qi punish her for kneeling!
Bao Qi saw that Hua Xi couldn't get up, so he was more sure of his thoughts, and pulled Hua Xi to persuade in a hurry, "Sister Xi'er, you are not a maid here, why kneel on the ground, get up quickly!"
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Qi glared angrily, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and the posture of the housewife was majestic, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Bao Qi angrily, and took it back fiercely, "Seeing that the elders don't salute, but openly say some disobedient words, messing up the rules, in your eyes, is there still me as a lady, and there is still me as a mother-in-law!"
Bao Qi's heart was tight, but he didn't want to be caught, so he got up and made a cold salute, looking directly at Mrs. Qi, "It's time to give my aunt a salute." ”
When Mrs. Qi heard her say this, her eyes narrowed with anger, and the people who heard it for the first time were also shocked by the word aunt of the young grandmother, and gasped a few times.
Bao Qi finished the salute and continued, "Bao Chai didn't ask for a gift to her aunt first, it was Bao Chai's mistake, but my aunt said that Bao Chai didn't give a salute, and Bao Chai didn't understand it when she said that Bao Chai was disobedient, Sister Xi'er was not a maid in the house, is there a reason to kneel here?!"
Before Bao Qi finished speaking, Mrs. Qi suddenly sneered and interrupted Bao Qi's words stiffly, "She is indeed not a maid in the house, so I didn't let her kneel, otherwise, you can ask her yourself." ”
Mrs. Qi said proudly and confidently, Bao Qi retracted her angry gaze, squatted down to help Hua Xi, but Hua Xi said with an unbearable cry again, "Bao Qi, you don't care, this is my voluntary kneeling, I can't complain Madame, I broke the rules......"
"Sister Xi'er!"
Bao Qi was anxious, angry and pitiful for the weakness of the flowers.
