Chapter 172: Aunt Bai's Threat
As a result, as soon as Aunt Bai's mother and daughter entered the courtyard, they encountered an obstacle - the subordinates in the hibiscus courtyard stopped them and said: "Our young lady is learning the etiquette of the clan, Aunt Zhang has ordered not to disturb, and Grandma and Fifth Miss will come back later."

That's a ......
Aunt Bai and Zhou Airu, who wanted to run to clean up the hibiscus, almost couldn't get up in one breath when they encountered this accident.
As mentioned earlier, Mrs. Li and Grandma Li and others were afraid that Mu Hibiscus would retaliate against them for their mistreatment of her in the Earl of Zhongyong's Mansion back then, so they looked forward to Aunt Bai being cleaned up after Mu Hibiscus returned to the Earl's Mansion of Qing'an.
It's a pity that the expectations of Grandma Li and others are obviously going to be disappointed, because Mu Hibiscus is the county lord, according to the etiquette of the county lord, there are many people waiting around him, this time back, there are four grandmothers who are responsible for teaching etiquette, and the aunt in charge, who is responsible for external affairs, other palace maids and eunuchs, etc., a large group of people.
There are so many people, if the Zhou family wants to see a hibiscus, they have to report it layer by layer, what is the matter, there are people to discuss with the hibiscus, to be honest, it is really difficult for the Zhou family to bully the hibiscus.
In fact, although Zhou Tao was very disgusted with the county lord of Dezhao because of his favor on Aunt Bai, the Zhou family was the same as they are now with hibiscus, and they couldn't do anything to the county lord of Dezhao at all, at most they were disgusting and disgusting to her in behavior - it is estimated that the more they wanted to bully the county lord of Dezhao, the more they couldn't bully her, which caused the resentment to become more and more severe, and now people have been dead for many years, and the reason why the people in the house still don't want to see the county lord of Dezhao.
At this time, Zhou Airu felt that her mother couldn't bully the county lord of Dezhao back then, and Aunt Bai was even more uncomfortable because she recalled the events of that year, so when she heard the words of the next person, she couldn't help but be unhappy, but she couldn't have a seizure, lest it be said that her daughter had just come back, and one of her favorite concubines would come to the door to find fault - even if they were originally here to find fault, they had to come quietly and couldn't let outsiders know, so they forcibly suppressed their unhappiness at the moment, and reluctantly smiled: "We have something to do with her." β
Although she suppressed her unhappiness, she was angry in the end, so Aunt Bai's voice was much stiffer than the pleasure she had asked to see before.
"As long as it's not urgent, please wait. "That person spoke in a good voice, but what he said made Aunt Bai unhappy.
Without waiting for Aunt Bai to speak, Zhou Airu said unhappily: "Could it be that if the old lady or father comes, she won't see her?
The man smiled and said: "The fifth lady is different from the old lady and the second master, an equal and an elder, and as for the aunt and grandmother, she is just a concubine, and her status is even different, if you treat it differently, it is also normal." β
Zhou Airu, who was choked by this, was speechless, but at the same time, it also made Zhou Airu angry half to death, and she dared to love secretly, and she still said openly that she would be treated differently!
In fact, I also thought about it, how dare Zhou Mujin not see the old lady and his father, that is, dare to pose in front of himself!
And Aunt Bai on the side, looking at the other party's expression that she was just a concubine and they didn't put it in her eyes at all, it was even more angry, although the dignified county lord really didn't need to put a concubine in her eyes, but how could Aunt Bai, who has always been accustomed to the wind and rain, stand others treating her like this? The secret way is that Mrs. Zhou didn't dare to treat her like this, and now Zhou Mujian's subordinates dare to look down on her like this, it's really infuriating!
Seeing that the words came to this, Aunt Bai knew that there was no point in entangling herself, she was just humiliating, so she grabbed her daughter who still wanted to argue and said, "Forget it, then let's wait for your third sister and her to come out, anyway, it's not a hurry, we don't need to be in a hurry." β
Zhou Airu saw Aunt Bai retreating, felt that she was defeated, she was in a very bad mood, and she didn't want to leave, but when she saw Aunt Bai glaring at her, she knew that her mother might be talking to her, so she had to hold back and retreat with Aunt Bai.
"Mother, why don't you let your daughter continue to make trouble? When I make a big fuss, let everyone in the house see her arrogant appearance, and then see who doesn't talk behind her back that she will be bad to my sister as soon as she comes back!" Zhou Airu said.
Now everyone in the house knows that the Zhou family will be her mother and brothers in charge in the future, so although the housewife is still Mrs. Zhou, others dare not offend them, so once there are any rumors, it will definitely not be a rumor that is bad for them, it will only be a rumor that is not good for hibiscus.
"If you continue to make trouble, you won't be able to make any name, so what else is there to make trouble, let's retreat first, anyway, we can say it whenever we want, and when we listen to our words, when she shows weakness, don't you just pinch her as much as you want?"
Zhou Airu thought about this, so she forgot it, and sent a subordinate to wait here, so that when she saw the hibiscus coming out, she notified herself.
Wait until near noon for the hibiscus to come out.
I'm afraid that Mu Hibiscus will say that he wants to eat again, and he won't see anyone - this reason is too open, if he wants to eat, he won't see himself, and if he makes trouble, he will be at his own expense if he spreads it, and then he doesn't know that he won't be able to see Mu Hibiscus until the Year of the Monkey, so Aunt Bai hurriedly pulled Zhou Airu to ask to see.
As soon as Aunt Bai thought of this, she gritted her teeth with hatred for the privileged class of this era - although she hated the privileged class with status higher than herself, this did not affect her desire to become a privileged class, she hated those privileged classes with a higher status than her, not because she was disgusted with the privileged class, but just disgusted by the other party pressing on her head, in fact, if she had the conditions, she wished that she was a privileged class with a high status, and it would be better if she could be the privileged class with the highest status.
This time, Mu Hibiscus didn't refuse to see it, which made Aunt Bai and Zhou Airu breathe a sigh of relief.
After Zhou Airu entered, the first thing she did was to look at the setting of the hibiscus room.
Zhou Airu had heard that Hibiscus had got a lot of silver taels, clothes, jewelry, and playthings over there, and thought that she would see a rich scene in the courtyard of Hibiscus, but she looked east and west, and saw that the decorations of Hibiscus were still those given by the house, and Mu Hibiscus himself was also dressed in a decent manner, nothing too good, so she couldn't help but pout, thinking that Hibiscus still wanted to hide her wealth, but could she hide it? Who doesn't know that the Cheng'en Mansion lost her 10,000 taels of silver, and the Princess of Changping also gave her 10,000 taels of silver.
With so much money in her hand, she will be scared when she stays, so let her take some out for herself, otherwise, hum, let her father clean her up then!
In fact, Mu Hibiscus didn't mean to hide her wealth at all, she also knew that the Earl of Qing'an's Mansion should know that she had 20,000 taels of silver, after all, the matter of Princess Changping giving her 10,000 taels was not a secret in Changping Palace, and the matter of Cheng'en Mansion giving her 10,000 taels of compensation, although Cheng'en Mansion didn't want to lose face and didn't say it, it was not a secret in Changping Palace, and Qing'an Earl's Mansion had close contacts with Changping Palace, so it would be normal to know.
Since people know that she has silver in her hand, she will naturally not be stupid enough to hide her wealth, the reason why she is not full of pearls and emeralds at this time, and there are no valuables in the house, is purely thinking about the jingle of the Zhou family's poverty, and she doesn't want to be too hateful - although she doesn't care about what the Zhou family thinks when they know that she has so much money, but she just came, and she didn't want to be too high-profile.
At this moment, Hibiscus glanced at Zhou Airu, whose eyes were dripping and her cold appearance in front of outsiders at all, and said lightly to Aunt Bai, who looked quite normal: "Is there anything wrong with my aunt and sister looking for me?"
She is now especially grateful to the Princess of Changping for arranging someone to teach her the etiquette of the clan, studying for so long every day, and being able to refuse to meet people with the most righteous reasons, which greatly reduces the situation of her being harassed by these people.
Aunt Bai planned to salute first and then soldier, so when she heard the question, she didn't shout and kill as soon as she came up, but smiled: "It's just to see how you're doing, but if you need anything, if you have it, just tell me." β
"Nothing needed, thank you for your concern. Mu Hibiscus doesn't believe that if Aunt Bai is fine, she will be in the mood to care about herself, after all, yesterday she said openly and secretly that she was not from a good background, and she fought back that she was just a concubine, and then beat her daughter, it must have annoyed her, and it would be strange that there would be that kind heart to care about herself, but since people didn't take the initiative to say, she didn't take the initiative to ask.
It turns out that even if she doesn't take the initiative to ask, these two people can't bear it for long, and when Airu saw that Aunt Bai was still talking about it next week, she interrupted impatiently: "Mother~~ Get down to business, don't talk nonsense!"
Aunt Bai couldn't help frowning when she saw her daughter so unbearable, thinking that this daughter was really useless, she didn't know how many times she had told her, she had to be calm in doing things, and she must be cold in front of outsiders, so that she looked both temperamental and could make people unable to figure out her depth, she couldn't listen to it, alas, I wanted her to be a crossing girl, the golden finger is so big, and now the scenery is infinite, and she is also a winner in life, only in the education of children, she has always been unsatisfactory, but there is no way, not to mention that she is a crossing woman, even those sages and saints, and she may not be able to educate her children, and her children can be educated, so she failed to teach her daughter very well, which is also very normal.
But when her daughter said this, Aunt Bai couldn't continue to talk nonsense, so she said immediately: " The girl is not young, and she has withdrawn from her relatives, it may not be easy to do this in the future, your father worries about your relatives, but he is a gentleman, and he is not good at caring about you, so he specially entrusted me to let me help you find reliable relatives, I know that my status is low, and I am not worthy of helping you find relatives, but your mother passed away early, and there is no hostess in this house, plus the lord asked me to find, I can only bite the bullet, I am afraid that one day I arrange someone to come over on a blind date You feel strange, I think I should not interfere in your family affairs, so I will come to say hello to you today, so that you can know in your heartγ β
Mu Hibiscus listened to Aunt Bai's words, and couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that she didn't believe it, people in other places might not know that Zhao Yao wanted to marry herself, and the Qing'an Earl's Mansion, which had close contacts with the Changping Palace, would not know about it.
So Mu Hibiscus said tentatively: "The king of Linjiang County has already handed over the fold to the Zongren Mansion and applied for me to marry him, so I already have this family matter, but I don't need to worry about Aunt Bai." β
Aunt Bai listened to Mu Hibiscus's words, couldn't help but smile, and said: "The girl is laughing at what she said, the family affairs of the children are all the words of the parents and the matchmaker, how can there be a reason for the girl to make her own claims with others, no matter who she marries, she must agree with the master." β
Mu Hibiscus understood at this time, it turned out that this Aunt Bai came over today to intimidate her with family affairs, right, this means that even if she wants to marry Zhao Yao, if Zhou Tao doesn't agree, she will think about it in vain, right?
If it weren't for her grandfather and grandmother sending someone to say that she didn't have to worry about this, she was afraid that she would really have to worry about Zhou Tao and Aunt Bai and others would do something to her own relatives, and if she hadn't always been calmer, she would have changed to a non-calm one, plus she didn't have the guarantee of the foreign family, it is estimated that she would really be frightened by them at this time, and let them rub it round and flatten it at that time, right? That's right, but for the time being, I don't need to arrange a blind date, and if my father thinks that the king of Linjiang is not good, he refuses to talk about it. β
Aunt Bai saw that she still felt that she could marry the king of Linjiang County, and she was looking forward to it there, so she didn't take her words to heart, so she couldn't help but sneer, and secretly said that this stupid girl, she didn't know how cruel the reality was, and she thought that she had hugged a thigh, so she dared not to take the thoughts of herself and others in her eyes? When Zhou Tao rejected Zhao Yao, look at how you cried! No matter how much you look forward to it, it is just delaying time! At most, she was sentenced to a suspended death sentence from death to death.
So at that moment, Aunt Bai couldn't help but smile and said: "Since the girl said so, then I will pass on the words to the master, but I still advise the girl to think about it more, after all, the girl is old, and now she still refuses to go on a blind date, and the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye, and you will be sixteen by then, and it will be difficult to find." β
Mu Hibiscus listened to her superficial concern, but in fact, it was a threatening needle, and said coldly: "Then I really have to thank my aunt for reminding me, but I think Wu Niang is not young, you still have to worry more about Wu Niang's family affairs, so as not to find it in the past two years, and you will be as old as me." β
Zhou Airu is two years younger than Hibiscus, thirteen years old this year, in this era, in the circle of nobles, it is the age to find relatives.
Aunt Bai thought that after she was intimidated, Hibiscus would be nervous, but she didn't expect that this little girl was not only not afraid, but also mocked herself like this, her face couldn't help but turn blue, and secretly said that her daughter and her husband felt right, this dead girl is just a little ignorant! I don't look at the Zhou family is now her own world, and she dares to talk to herself like this, she really thinks that she can marry the princess of the county, so she dares not to take herself in her eyes! I don't want to think that I can control the Zhou Mansion, even if I have the ability (golden finger), I dare to do it like this with myself who has a golden finger, and I am not afraid of being cannon fodder - even if I become a princess, what if I wait for her to be rectified, she is the same as her mother and Mrs. Zhou, she only gives birth to a daughter and not a son, and then she will be abandoned by the king of Linjiang County in the future!
