Chapter 13: Splashing Dirty Water
Zhang Shuqin pushed Su Changfang away with a smile and asked, "Jin'er, what's the matter?" ”
Su Xiujin lowered her eyebrows and said: "Yesterday, my daughter and the fourth sister happened to pass by Tianxianglou, Tianxianglou's business was bleak, and I inquired with the fourth sister to know that it was the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou who was filling his own pockets, which caused Tianxianglou's business to be worse day by day, and the fourth sister couldn't stand it, so she said a few more words, but the shopkeeper's words were really ugly." ”
Su Changfang's face darkened when she heard the three words of Tianxianglou, and Zhang Shuqin's face also tensed.
Su Xiu was so beautiful, and immediately said, "Isn't it?" The shopkeeper's words insulted our two sisters, saying that we are the daughters of the concubine, and we can't control the business of Tianxianglou at all! ”
"Shut up!" Zhang Shuqin couldn't listen to her harsh treatment of her concubine, and when Su Xiuyuan said this, she naturally had to speak out.
"What a damn minion! Our young lady of the Su family is serious, how can we allow others to put their beaks! ”
Su Changfang was not stupid, she reacted immediately, wasn't that the shopkeeper who had been holding her all the time?
"Mother, if that's it, it's just that, and our sisters won't say it in front of our mother, but there are some things below, and I really have to say it to my mother, so that outsiders will hear it, but I'm afraid that my mother's reputation will be damaged." Su Xiujin raised her head, with tears in the corners of her eyes, took a handkerchief and pressed her eyes, unable to express her grievances.
Su Changfang doesn't know why, since Su Xiujin's personality changed three years ago, she has an indescribable dislike for Su Xiujin, obviously she looks at each other, but she still feels that the other party has her own familiar atmosphere, this feeling is like the disgusting feeling of hundreds of insects crawling on her body.
"Mother, I also know the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou, but he is loyal and honest, and the business of Tianxianglou has always been good, not as the two sisters said, but I am afraid that there will be some misunderstandings." Su Changfang looked at Zhang Shuqin, held her hand and squeezed it.
Zhang Shuqin suddenly remembered that the shopkeeper Wang seemed to be a distant relative of his family, and when Su Xiuyuan said this, he almost forgot about it.
She coughed twice: "Changfang is right, is there some misunderstanding between Jin'er and Yuan'er?" ”
Su Xiujin glanced at Su Changfang, a sneer flashed in her eyes, Su Changfang is not a fool.
Su Xiuli has been staying on the side and watching, this time she knows Su Xiujin no matter how stupid she is, Su Xiujin is helping her, but she looks at Su Changfang's beautiful and arrogant appearance, and then looks at Zhang Shuqin, she suddenly became a little scared, pulled Su Xiuyuan, and whispered: "Sister, how can you say that about mother?" "That's my mother-in-law!
Su Xiuyuan hated that iron was not steel, and he pulled out his sleeves and scolded in a low voice: "What do you know!" "If they hadn't done that, how would they have protected her?
"Mother, if there is a misunderstanding, it's fine, it's just these words, we have to say, buried in our hearts, our two sisters are really uncomfortable." Su Xiujin said. She wouldn't give up so easily.
"What do you say? Let me, the old woman, listen to it too. A voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the old lady of the Su family walked in with the help of Mama Zhou on the faucet crutches.
Zhang Shuqin immediately stepped forward to help Mrs. Su: "Old ancestor, why are you here?" ”
Su Changfang also said obediently: "Grandmother, are you feeling better?" ”
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "It's much better, Fang'er is so good." ”
The other three all said, "Ask Ancestor Zong'an." ”
Su Changfang happily held Mrs. Su and asked, "Grandmother is getting better, but she has to go out for a walk, granddaughter hasn't seen your old man for a long time." ”
Old Madam Su patted her hand and nodded, "Okay." Listen to you. ”
In the Su family, Su Changfang is absolutely different, even if she is eighteen years old and unmarried, but compared to her talent and beauty, it is just some small flaws, Mrs. Su, Su Fugui and other elders naturally spoil her.
"What were you talking about?" Mrs. Su asked.
Zhang Shuqin hurriedly said: "It's just a few girls' trivial things, and they made a few sentences." ”
"Yes, it's just that a few sisters said some trivial things, and the sixth sister didn't give up, I think I was young and ignorant, and my mother also had a headache, if I said I kissed in the future, I was afraid that my husband's family would laugh when I heard it." As she spoke, the corners of Su Changfang's mouth raised slightly and looked at Su Xiujin.
Unforgiving, ignorant?! Su Xiujin sneered in her heart, didn't their mother and daughter want to cover the sky with one hand?
"Really? Jin'er, but that's what your sister said? ”
Su Xiujin raised her head, Zhang Shuqin, who had always pretended to be friendly and generous, had a hint of viciousness in her eyes, Su Changfang unintentionally looked at the Dankou on her fingers, still smiling, beautiful and incomprehensible.
"It's not what the eldest sister said." Su Xiujin said word by word, "What the granddaughter said is not the little daughter's narrow-minded words, please also ask the ancestor and mother to listen carefully!" Don't let the heart of being a daughter chill. ”
"Please also ask the ancestors, mother to listen carefully." Su Xiuyuan knelt down, it was about Su Xiuli, she had to be cautious.
"Yuan'er, you're also-" A trace of surprise flashed on Old Lady Su's face, and she quickly calmed down: "Then you can tell me about it." ”
"The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou was disrespectful to my sisters, and kept saying that our sisters were just the daughters of the Su family, and they were humble and humble, and they couldn't control the serious business of the Su family. I just don't want to, the shopkeeper's words are getting more and more excessive-"
Mrs. Su was also born as a concubine first, and she has always taken the matter of concubines seriously, so she immediately became angry and slapped the table: "What a slave!" Don't take the Su family in your eyes, you two sisters go out, but all the servants of the Su family have to call Miss honestly! ”
Su Xiujin continued: "If this is the case, we two sisters don't have to be like this, but the fact that the shopkeeper Wang was smashed by our two sisters to embezzle public funds and enrich their private pockets, not only did they not admit it, but they also said crazy words, and what they said was a word of criticism for our sisters, let alone the reputation of our mother!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shuqin couldn't help but scold: "Su Xiujin, do you know what you're talking about!" In front of the ancestors, if you dare to speak outrageously, I will definitely protect you! ”
Saying that, the two strong mothers-in-law next to him stepped forward to block Su Xiujin's mouth, the mother-in-law had a lot of strength, and her two hands were like iron tongs, Su Xiujin's heart was cold, could it be that as a concubine, she didn't even have the right to say a word?
"Wait! You two dog minions! Who allowed you to do it to your sister! Su Xiuyuan walked over on his knees and knocked away the hands of the two mothers-in-law, "Ancestor, if you don't believe it, here is the account book as proof!" ”
Where did those two mothers-in-law dare to stop Su Xiuyuan, the entire Su family, except for Su Changfang, the concubine, is Su Xiuyuan, the concubine, who is the most favored, Su Xiuyuan took out an account book in his arms and held it with both hands: "Ancestor, this is the breakdown of Tianxianglou's profits and losses in the past year, and even the granddaughter can see the obvious account loopholes, let alone others!" Please also ask the ancestors to see! ”
Su Xiuyuan slammed his head on the ground, and his hand holding the account book almost trembled.
Su Xiujin bowed her head as she was, and said in a calm and cold voice: "Please come to the ancestor, mother will be clear!" ”
Su Xiuli, who had been stunned, had weak legs and feet, dull eyes, fell to the ground, and a trace of fear flashed in her sluggish eyes, they were crazy!
