Soon, someone came out to spread the word. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Seven girls, please inside." At this time, it is no longer Mama He. It's the maid Bizhu in the old lady's room.

Bi Zhu looked at Su Tong's outfit, and thought of the conversation between the old lady and the eldest lady inside, and couldn't help frowning, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, so she had to remind her, "Seventh girl, the old lady is restless today, you will have to bear it later." ”

Suffered? It doesn't seem like a good thing!

Su Tong followed behind Bi Zhu and entered the guest hall.

The living room was covered with a thin layer of velvet blanket, which was the purple and large flowers that the old lady was accustomed to.

Su Tong raised his eyes slightly, and was stunned: How could there be so many people?

There is an old lady sitting at the top, dressed in a purple narrow-sleeved woven dress inlaid with gold threads, with gray hair in a round bun towering, and two gilded silver hairpins inlaid with treasure phoenix butterflies are inserted thanks, simple and atmospheric. He wears a turquoise jade on his wrist, which is moist and clear.

On the left and right sides, sat the eldest uncle, the eldest lady, the second uncle, the second lady, the little uncle and the fourth lady.

"Hitomi greets grandmother."

"Greetings to the eldest uncle and eldest lady."

"Greetings to the second uncle and the second lady."

"Greetings to the little uncle, the fourth lady."

Su Tong knelt on the ground, his head pressed very low, so low that he could only see the fine dust on the velvet carpet.

Everyone in the living room stared at her, but no one made a sound, and the surroundings were so quiet that the sound of embroidery needles falling to the ground could be heard!

Su Tong didn't know how long he knelt down, maybe half a cup of tea, maybe a cup of tea, just when his waist was sore, the old lady's angry voice came from the top of his head, "Where did you go last night?" ”

Su Tong was stunned and replied, "Hitomi was bored yesterday, so she went around the forest, but she didn't want to get lost and stayed in the forest for one night. I mistakenly asked my grandmother to say goodbye, and Hitomi was terrified and begged her grandmother to punish her. "She can't tell the truth, she can only come up with such a reason that is not a reason.

"Ridiculous, don't you know what day yesterday was?" The eldest lady said loudly, "Mama He told you to stay in the firewood room, and naturally someone will take you to the old lady to meet you." But you are running around on your own, and you don't talk about the missed days, and the whole family is worried about you. Seven girls, have you forgotten the rules in this house? ”

Su Tong shrank back, "Hitomi doesn't dare to forget." ”

"Don't dare to forget?" The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that you deliberately avoided it?" ”

Su Tong hurriedly shook his head, "Big lady, Tong Er really got lost in the forest unintentionally, and she has no intention of avoiding it, and I hope that the big lady will find out." "Lost and mistaken for an hour, deliberately dodging, which is more important, how can Su Tong not know. The latter could almost discredit her. Filial piety comes first, as a junior, avoid the big birthday day, do not congratulate the elders, if it is passed out, I don't know how others will look at her!

"Sister-in-law, it has been five years since the seventh girl left Su Mansion, and Su Mansion has changed greatly in the past five years, and it is reasonable to get lost. What's more, there are many trees and shrubs in the forests in the back mountains, and I can't find a way out even if I hunt every spring, and no one leads me. The second lady Zhang said.

After Zhang finished speaking, the tone of his words changed, "However, Seventh Girl, the old lady's birthday is a big event, and you really deserve to be punished for getting lost like this." I see you living in Zhuhai, and there is no one around to teach, this rule is 108,000 miles different from the girls in the house. Today, I begged for a favor in front of the old lady, took the seven girls over, and put them next to Mama Luo, first, to teach her the rules, and secondly, the seven girls are too old, and it is inconvenient to live alone in Zhuhai. "Mama Luo is Zhang's dowry mama, and being placed next to Mama Luo means that she is under the hands of the second room.

"Old lady, what do you say?"

Zhang's words instantly made the atmosphere in the guest hall tense.

Su Yuming, the second master of the Su family, secretly gave his wife a look, signaling her not to talk nonsense in front of the old lady. Zhang didn't pay attention to it, and said to himself. As he spoke, he secretly counted the expressions on the face of the eldest lady.

The old lady glanced at Zhang, "Why did the seven girls move out of Su Mansion in the first place, others don't know, don't you know?" ”

Su Tong was stunned, wasn't she kicked out because she contradicted the eldest lady? The reason for this is well known throughout the province. Why did the old lady say something like "others don't know"?

Zhang naturally felt the old lady's anger, but she was still bold, "Old lady, daughter-in-law doesn't dare to talk nonsense." Three days ago, my daughter-in-law went to Mingyang Temple to make incense, drew a lot for the Su family, and signed it. The abbot asked if there was someone in the Su family who was too bad luck and affected the luck. I said yes, and the master said that the person's bad luck has been removed, and from now on, the Su family will only become more and more prosperous, and will not be affected at all. ”

In this way, she Su Tong was not kicked out because she contradicted the eldest lady, but because she had bad luck on her body?

Isn't it, the death of her father and mother almost affected the Su family, can she not be infected with bad luck?

Su Tong listened carefully, but wanted to see how they would treat her.

"Oh——, is there such a thing?" The first to speak was not the old lady, but the eldest lady, "The second brother and sister really have a heart." If you are the abbot master of Mingyang Temple, you can't think of it as a fake. But the abbot master has not been to the Su family, only said that someone in the Su family has bad luck to remove, but did not mention who that person is, if it is the seven girls, they are all happy, but if it is someone else, who will bear the consequences? ”

The old lady nodded, "The eldest daughter-in-law is right. Now, Jue'er has just been appointed as the head of the household department, and she must not be affected in any way. ”

She glanced at Su Tong, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "As for the seven girls, the bamboo sea is quiet and suitable for self-cultivation, and it doesn't hurt to live for a few more years." ”

She paused slightly, and continued, "Seven girls, don't blame us for being ruthless. In the future, your food and clothing will be added to the other girls. You can rest assured that your grandmother will never treat you badly, and in the future, your grandmother will find a good family for you, and the dowry will not be worse than that of other girls. ”

Su Tong had to thank him, "Thank you grandmother for your mercy." ”

The eldest lady was displeased, "The old lady said this, but she blamed her daughter-in-law for mistreating the seven girls?" The conscience of heaven and earth, the monthly money of the seven girls is more than that of other girls in the house, and the daughter-in-law remembers that she has no one to take care of in Zhuhai, so she sends people to visit from time to time, but these seven girls have a strange temperament, and every time she sends people back, she drives them back. ”

"The daughter-in-law not only increased her monthly money, but also sent her a lot of new skirts, who would have thought that the seventh girl would wear such a dress to the house."

"Seven girls, I know you have an opinion about me, it was my idea to move you to Zhuhai back then, but I am also good for you and the Su family."

"Old lady, you have to call the shots for me. You also agreed with what happened back then. ”

As soon as the eldest lady said this, there was a trace of disdain and contempt in the eyes of everyone looking at Su Tong.
