Chapter Twenty-Three: The Gap
It's good to have such an older brother.
Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him, Banqin turned around happily.
"Lady, it's time to eat." She said, kneeling down.
The new girl and the servant woman hurriedly carried the table over.
Behind the bamboo curtain, a woman's figure on the couch was lying on her side.
"Go down." Banqin said.
The servant woman and the little girl answered yes.
"I don't know the taste of the lady, please watch the girl." The servant woman said respectfully.
"Okay." Banqin said, nodding back.
The servant woman and the girl withdrew and watched the curtain open, and a woman was supported by Banqin to sit in the hall.
The little girl was a little curious and wanted to see the woman clearly, but she was glared at by the servant woman, and hurriedly lowered her head and retreated.
"What does the lady look like?" The little girl couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What can a fool look like! Don't make trouble, if you are caught by the son-in-law of the Zhou family again, you and I will be unlucky. The servant woman warned.
Thinking that a total of seven people from the two families were driven out of the house because of this incident, and the fate of such servants who were expelled by the master's family can be imagined, the little girl looked nervous, and she didn't dare to look at the room again, for fear of causing trouble because she saw the fool's inappropriate description.
After eating, Mrs. Cheng waited for Master Cheng.
"What did he say?" She asked eagerly.
"I didn't say anything, I poured a pot of wine and went to sleep." Master Cheng said angrily, sat down, and only felt depressed.
Today's events made him feel depressed from beginning to end, and he couldn't have a seizure.
Mrs. Cheng sat down opposite, and was just about to speak, when Mr. and Mrs. Cheng came.
Second Mrs. Cheng cried when she entered the door, and Mrs. Cheng, who was crying, became more and more upset.
"Sister-in-law." She knelt down and bowed.
This kind of gift made Mr. and Mrs. Cheng startled, and they hurriedly reached out to help.
"Do what?" Mrs. Cheng said.
"In public today, it is really disrespectful to blame my sister-in-law for my guilt." Second Mrs. Cheng cried, but refused to get up.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Cheng's expression flashed with a hint of strangeness.
Here, the second master Cheng also leaned over to salute.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have said my sister-in-law." He said with his head bowed.
"Don't do that." Mrs. Cheng was busy supporting each other left and right, with a little resentment, "What is wrong, it was originally my business, and I had no way to govern my family, so I let you suffer grievances." β
Second Mrs. Cheng took Mrs. Cheng's hand and cried.
"Okay, the family doesn't talk about the two families, and now it's the affairs of outsiders that matter." Master Cheng said.
Then the two sides sat down separately.
"They don't know... That... What's that kid's name? Master Cheng said, there are no outsiders here, and asked simply.
The three people in the room were slightly stunned, as if they were all wondering what the fool's name was.
"Call, Jiao Niang!" Second Mrs. Cheng was the first to think about it and said, and added, "It seems that it was given by the grandmother of the Zhou family." β
Master Cheng didn't like it.
"Strange name." He muttered, I don't know if Lu Dao is talking about this name or the people of the Zhou family.
"That Zhou Jialiulang said that he didn't know about Lu Dao Jiaoniang's return, is this credible?" Master Cheng continued.
"It's strange if I don't know what to do." Second Master Cheng said angrily, "I don't know if I'm still running around to make trouble!" β
There was a moment of silence in the room.
"Today's events are also our fault, we handed the handle to others, and we can't complain about the humiliation of others." Master Cheng said, "Let's admit it, it depends on what the Zhou family wants to do this week." β
"What else do they want to do?" Second Master Cheng said angrily, "Is it true that our Cheng family is afraid of him? β
Master Cheng nodded.
"That's right, today's incident is that we are one point shorter, but if they want to make trouble deliberately, our Cheng family is not something that anyone can bully." He said, "Being humiliated by a martial artist is not the face of our Cheng family, but the face of the literati of the Great Zhou." β
Since the martial arts are cheap and noble, a showman has no fame and is not afraid of a military attachΓ©.
"I shouldn't have married this family in the first place, so I was laughed at outside." Second Master Cheng snorted and said.
Master Cheng was stunned.
"Are you talking about your father's fault?" He shouted.
Because when it comes to the wife who is in the forefront, Mrs. Cheng has kept her head down.
Mrs. Cheng pulled her husband.
"Erlang didn't mean that, don't speculate about him." She said, looking at Second Master Cheng, "Okay, I'm tired, go and rest for lunch, and recuperate enough, we can't let people see jokes." β
Cheng Er and his wife retired and walked towards their house.
"You have been going to your sister-in-law for more than a few days to serve." Second Master Cheng said, "Let my sister-in-law melt her heart knot as soon as possible." β
Second Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips slightly.
"Didn't you say it, I made a big gift, and the face was enough, besides, we didn't say anything wrong at the time." She said.
Second Master Cheng stopped and glared back at her.
"What do you say?" He whispered.
"What did I say? Am I not right? Why did she take all the good things, and I will carry the infamy? She was the one who took that fool to raise, why did something happen to me and let me be scolded? At that time, if Erlang didn't speak for me, wouldn't she take the initiative to speak? Do you still want to watch me go to the ancestral hall to think? Second Mrs. Cheng said, her eyes were red.
"You whisper, it's outside." Second Master Cheng was startled and hurriedly said.
The servant girl who followed avoided it in panic.
Second Mrs. Cheng flicked her sleeves, and the second master walked quickly.
Second Master Cheng only felt a sudden pain in his temples with a headache.
It's really a wave of unevenness!
How did it come to this?!
In this little place at home, what can be hidden, Mrs. Cheng knew the quarrel between Cheng Er and his wife, she sighed, and took off her hairpin.
"Go down, don't let this be preached." She said.
The servant woman replied and bowed her head and withdrew.
"Why is the second daughter-in-law suddenly ignorant?" Master Cheng was half-lying on the couch, frowning and displeased.
"You too, why did you forget that Jiao Niang was raised by me." Mrs. Cheng said, a little helpless and a little powerless.
"Even if you raise it, so what? She is Jiao Niang's nominal mother, if I don't say punish her, then how can the people of the Zhou family give up? Besides, how could he really punish her. Master Cheng said, exhaling, "It's really unusual." β
Mrs. Cheng lay down on the other side of the couch and rubbed her eyebrows.
"Xu is because of Jiao Niang's return, the past days have suddenly changed, and she can't stand it for a while." She said.
Master Cheng snorted.
"Our family has this child's matter, and she didn't know it for the first day, why can't she stand it now?" He said.
Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips and smiled.
"It's one thing to know the Tao, and it's another thing to see it in person." She said.
"I think it's her who has been comfortable for a long time." Master Cheng said nonchalantly.
This time, Mrs. Cheng did not argue again, but exhaled, rubbed her forehead with another hand, and closed her eyes.
