"How dare you quibble! I want to see Grandpa Guo! Aunt Tong said and rushed out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Two sturdy mothers-in-law blocked the door, preventing her from going out.
"You ...... You ......" Aunt Tong pointed at them, her fingertips trembled with anger, and she suddenly turned around and threw herself in front of Jirou, reaching out to slap her.
Yaqing grabbed her wrist and looked at her indifferently.
The two mothers-in-law stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Tong's arm, pulled her to the chair, and pressed her shoulders to make her sit down.
"When the grandfather of the country comes back, the slave will naturally tell him about today's events, and the right and wrong are decided by the grandfather of the country. Before that, my aunt had thought about it in the house. ”
Jirou lightly blessed and took Yaqing a few calmly out of the East Chamber.
"How's Aunt Wei's injury?"
Yaqing said: "The imperial doctor is watching." ”
Ji Rou looked at her red and swollen cheeks, and said softly: "Later, by the way, let the imperial doctor take a look at your face, it is so swollen, but it needs to be cured." ”
"It's okay, it's not broken anyway, I'll just go back to the house and apply some medicine."
"How's that going to work!" Jirou glared at her and said to the little maid, "After seeing my aunt's injury, please ask the imperial doctor to come to Jiayou Hall." ”
The little guy walked in front with a lamp, and Yu Fengyao walked steadily with a calm face.
In fact, he didn't need a lamp to see the road, and the reason why he asked the little guy to carry a lamp was to let the people in the house see him.
Bypassing a Taihu Lake stone rockery, you will go to the open road in front of Jiayou Hall.
Jiayou Hall is a three-entry courtyard, which was originally the living place of the successive princes of Shenguo, and Yu Fengyao still lived here after the lordship, but put the main courtyard aside.
Jiayou Hall has been lit up, and a hundred-year-old locust tree is planted at the door, and the shadow of the tree is printed on the spacious and clean stone road, which has a deep and quiet feeling.
There were two big red lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the gatekeeper saw Yu Fengyao from a distance, his face was solemn, and he squatted down respectfully and saluted.
Today, he successfully caught Xifan's spies, he faintly felt a little strange, and carefully thought about every detail of the matter in his heart, without looking at the two people, and walked inside with a calm face.
"Grandpa Guo! Grandpa Guo! ”
A figure suddenly sprang out from behind the locust tree.
The doorkeeper recognized the delicate face as Aunt Tong's maid Banqin.
"Half celery? You're not waiting by your aunt's side, what are you doing here! The two men stepped forward to stop her.
In the afternoon, Aunt Tong and Aunt Wei ran to Jiayou Hall to make a fuss, and were cleaned up by Miss Jirou with thunderous means. Aunt Wei broke her head and was lying on the bed to recuperate from her injuries, Aunt Tong was supposed to think about it in the house according to the rules, Banqin was her personal maid, not waiting by the master's side, did she come here to shout injustice?
The two of them couldn't help but sneer in their hearts, what kind of place is Jiayou Hall, even if it is a concubine given by the Queen Mother, they don't want to be wild here!
Miss Jirou specially instructed that the people who listened to Yuxuan must not appear in front of Grandpa Guo.
They looked at each other and grabbed Banqin's arm and dragged him out.
"Grandpa Guo! You have to call the shots for our aunt! Banqin shook off their hands and rushed straight towards Yu Fengyao.
Yu Fengyao paused.
He turned around, his face sinking like water and looking at Banqin, his eyes as cold as frost.
Banqin "chuckled" in her heart, her eager footsteps stopped suddenly, and she knelt down with a thud.
The faces of the two servants changed greatly, and their legs weakened and they knelt down.
Banqin was prostrate on the ground, and his nervous mouth was dry.
Aunt Tong was punished and confined to confinement, and those maids and mothers-in-law didn't talk about their feelings at all, and they looked at Tingyuxuan strictly. If it weren't for the aunt who used her own money to envelop the mother-in-law in the kitchen, she wouldn't have been able to get out at all.
The aunt said that even if they were really wrong, Jirou dared to bully her as a maid, and it was even more unforgivable. As long as Grandpa Guo knows the ins and outs of the matter, he will definitely make decisions for them, and when the time comes, he can also give that Ruan Jirou a little color to see...... The aunt asked her to complain to Grandpa Guo before he returned to Jiayou Hall, so as not to confuse them.
Thinking of this, Banqin's heart calmed down a little.
She respectfully kowtowed to Yu Fengyao and cried: "The slave maid is Aunt Tong's maid Banqin......"
"Bring people in." Yu Fengyao didn't look at her more, turned around and walked inside.
The two little guys stepped forward and took Banqin's arm and dragged the person all the way into the main hall.
Ji Rou knew that Banqin ran to the door of Jiayou Hall to find Yu Fengyao, and her face turned pale.
"Didn't I ask you to ask someone to watch and listen to Yuxuan? How did Banqin get out? She asked Yaqing.
Yaqing didn't notice her strange appearance, and said proudly: "Didn't Aunt Tong want to shout grievances to Grandpa Guo, I deliberately left a gap for them to drill." Grandpa Guo is most tired of the concubines in the inner courtyard making trouble, and Aunt Tong dares to bump into it by herself, hum! ”
Jirou's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted: "You let her out?" ”
"Yes, yes...... What's wrong? Seeing that her face was wrong, Yaqing hurriedly explained, "You don't have to worry, it's not wrong for us to do what Grandpa Guo tells us, and Grandpa Guo won't blame him." ”
It was right, but now ......
"Sister Jirou, Sister Yaqing, Grandpa Guo called you!" The little maid bowed at the door.
Ji Rou settled his mind and replied softly: "Got it, let's go." ”
She said to Yaqing with a straight face: "No matter what Banqin says later, don't make a sound, I'll deal with it." ”
Jirou what's wrong, she looks very nervous. They're right, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Yaqing's face was full of doubts, but she had always trusted Jirou very much, so she nodded.
The two went to the main hall together.
Yu Fengyao sat there, holding a blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, and his face looked very calm.
Chu Lan and a few waiting maids stood aside, and Banqin knelt in the middle of the hall trembling.
They respectfully saluted Yu Fengyao.
Yu Fengyao glanced at them and said to Banqin, "Say what you just said again." ”
"Yes."
Banqin was overjoyed, Grandpa Guo wanted her to confront Jirou, it seems that what her aunt said is right.
She calmed down and said clearly: "This afternoon, our aunt and Aunt Wei came to Jiayou Hall to say goodbye to Grandpa Guo, but unfortunately you are not here, and the two aunts want to wait for you to come back." Who knew that Miss Jirou said that without your instructions, it was not in accordance with the rules for my aunt to enter Jiayou Hall without permission, and she couldn't stay here, so she asked her mother-in-law to drive us out, and under the pushing, Aunt Wei hit the pillar and fainted on the spot. Aunt Tong had an argument with Miss Jirou in a hurry, and Miss Jirou actually asked her to block her mouth, tied her back to Tingyuxuan, and asked someone to guard the hospital door and not allow her to go out. The aunt couldn't bear such an insult and wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the well, so Miss Yaqing put her aunt under house arrest...... Grandpa Guo, how can our aunt ever suffer such a grievance, you have to be the master for her! ”
After she finished speaking, she kowtowed to Yu Fengyao.
Yaqing glared at Banqin with a cold face, as if they were not wrong at all.
"She's telling the truth?" Yu Fengyao asked Rou Yaqing.
Yaqing opened her mouth to defend herself, but Jirou preemptively said, "Yes." ”
Banqin was relieved to hear her admit it herself.
Jirou knelt down and continued: "The two aunts trespassed into Jiayou Hall, and the slaves and maids sent them back to listen to Yuxuan's thoughts according to the rules. The slave maid did not put Aunt Tong under house arrest, but she was afraid that her aunt would find death, so she had to detain her aunt in the house and ask Grandpa Guo to learn about it. ”
Yu Fengyao nodded casually and said, "Aunt Tong and Aunt Wei trespass in Jiayou Hall, and they will be punished for one year and one month, and they will be grounded for half a year. ”
What the!
Ban Qin raised his head suddenly: "Grandpa Guo......"
"As for this girl, the rod will be punished by twenty boards."
Banqin's throat tightened, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
How so? Didn't Grandpa Guo already believe what she said, how could it be......
The two little guys standing behind Yu Fengyao immediately stepped forward and dragged Banqin out, and she struggled hard: "Grandpa Guo! Slave and maid wronged, slave and maid ......"
The little guy covered her mouth.
Yaqing hung her head, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a hint of mockery.
Aunt Tong and Aunt Wei thought that they were given by the Queen Mother, so they wanted to be powerful in the house, but they didn't look at where it was!
Jirou's mother is Mrs. Tai's dowry maid, she has been serving by Grandpa Guo since she was a child, and she is most trusted by Grandpa Guo, otherwise she would not be in charge of Jiayou Hall. There is no master mother in the Shenguo Mansion, and the affairs of the inner courtyard have always been decided by Jiayoutang......
Banqin's crying gradually faded away.
Yaqing smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to help Jisoften.
Yu Fengyao put down the teacup and walked towards the clean room: "Send Rou, it is not good to do things, and you will be fined for half a year." ”
Yaqing was stunned.
Jirou's originally tense mind relaxed, and she glanced at Chulan and motioned for her to follow up and serve.
Didn't Grandpa Guo already punish Aunt Tong and Aunt Wei, why do you still punish Jirou, Jirou is right!
Yaqing wanted to follow up and explain, but was pulled by Jirou.
She whispered into Yaqing's ear, "Do you know why Grandpa Guo punished me?" ”
Yaqing shook her head ignorantly.
"Because of the half-celery."
"Half celery? What do you mean? Her face was full of confusion.
Ji Rou wanted to take advantage of this incident to remind her, so she carefully explained: "Aunt Tong and Aunt Wei trespassed into Jiayou Hall and violated the rules of the house, so I can naturally deal with them according to the rules." However, since Grandpa Guo has entrusted me with the right to manage the inner court, it is my responsibility to handle the matter properly, rather than letting him do it himself. I know that you put Banqin out to let Aunt Tong eat the consequences, but in the eyes of Grandpa Guo, I didn't handle it properly. ”
"But they are aunts after all, if your name is not right, it will inevitably fall into the hands of others, otherwise Aunt Tong will not say that you have committed the following ...... today"
"So what? As long as Grandpa Guo trusts me and gives me this right, what is terrible to me about the gossip of others. A hint of fierceness flashed in Jirou's eyes, "Do you know why Grandpa Guo asked me to take care of Jiayoutang's affairs?" ”
