There was no one in the room for a long time, and when Green Shadow finished speaking, he also silently took a step back and said no more. Qingtong looked at everyone present, and finally fell on Mother He's face. gathered for a moment, and said sonorously: "Since I handed over the steward to Mother He, I have the right to beat or punish her." It was so before, and so it will be in the future, and you should respect her. No one is perfect, and neither is she. In the future, let Wu's mother help her, set up some rules, and have clear rewards and punishments. Just one thing, no one can do things with their own selfishness, likes and dislikes! ”

When Mother He's anger had not subsided, Mrs. Wu had already received the order and said, "Yes, master, the slave will do his best." ”

"Very good." Qingtong's voice softened: "If there is a need for me, just tell me." ”

"Yes." Mrs. Wu answered again.

The matter was decided, Qingtong didn't say any more, and told everyone to disperse, leaving only Mother He alone. Mother He's anger in her heart just now couldn't be released, and she was still unhappy at this time, hating the green shadow in her heart. What she said just now was a slap in her face in front of everyone in the family!

Qingtong looked at Mother He's angry and aggrieved expression, and probably guessed her thoughts in her heart. I only poured a cup of tea for myself, sent it to her, and said, "Take two sips, and be smooth." ”

"I'm tired of my lord." Mother He took the tea, took two sips, and her chest rose and fell for a while before she stopped.

When the qi was almost smooth, Mother He didn't say anything, but said, "Then I'll go back first, and the master should rest early." ”

"There's no hurry." Qingtong said: "I know that you are upset about this matter, so I want to keep you here because I want to say something considerate to you." Treat you as a family, and I will say some things directly. If you figured it out, that's the best. ”

Mother He didn't really want to hear it, but if her master wanted to say it, how could she not listen to it, so she had to say, "Master, you speak." ”

Qingtong looked at her and said, "Since I regard you, Brother He and Biqing as a family, I naturally hope that our family will be good for a long time." I value you, and I believe in the family, and everything in the family will be handed over to you. The more this happens, the more different you are from them. I should always think in my heart that home and everything is prosperous. You have never been into a big family, and many rules and etiquette are not wrong, but because you don't understand them, you don't ask people to mention them, and you seal the mouths of others? You know more, you have more means, and they can't find fault with everything, how dare they make mistakes? If you want to be convinced, it is not enough for others to give you some power. You also have to understand that it is from the bottom of your heart. ”

Mother He didn't understand it very well, and she didn't want to understand it. From the unhappiness just now, to Qingtong's words, what was left in her heart was cold. The maids and ladies looked down on her before, she didn't recognize it, so she forced it to show them. But now, it's her lord who is criticizing her! It is said that her whole body is wrong, and there is nothing to be desired.

Sure enough, she was from the countryside......

Qingtong said this to Mother He's mother from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't know if she understood. Seeing that her expression was down, she was just tired, so she didn't stay anymore, and said softly: "Go back and rest, and discuss everything with Mother Wu." ”

"The master should also rest early, so as not to stay up all night and be weak." Mother He's words were very weak, turned around and walked out of the house, and closed the door.

After going back, He Sheng asked the master what he had called everyone. Mother He lay on the bed and said weakly: "You said that one day our master will really become a big official, will he still remember us, is there still our place in this family?" ”

"Why do you say that?" He Sheng asked.

Mother He told He Sheng everything about today, and emphasized what she was worried about. He Sheng frowned, and said: "I see that you are too careful, the master is obviously not blaming you, and he has no intention of stripping you of your power." He doesn't take us to heart, why do they still ask them to respect you? You yourself should know that there are many things you don't understand, and you have nowhere to get started, and you should have someone to teach you. In this regard, the master did the right thing. ”

Mother He really didn't want to hear this, so she pulled the quilt and covered her head, and complained through the quilt: "I only regret that I didn't buy the maid one step ahead of the master, and the one I adjusted/taught myself must not be like this!" ”

He Sheng sighed, didn't speak again, blew out the lamp and went to bed.

Outside the house, the moonlight was bright, and the shadows under the trees were mottled.

The next day, Qingtong still got up early to go to work, and the things at home were left behind.

When I arrived at the office, I met with everyone, said hello to each other, and started the day's work. On this day, the master of the academy divided the books to each of them, and asked them to read them carefully, and if they found anything inappropriate, they compiled and revised them. If you are not sure, find someone to discuss, or call senior seniors for guidance.

This is the first thing to do after taking office, and everyone has done it with extra care. Yan Qing was tired for a while, so he pulled Qingtong and Zhao Yan out together.

After standing in the courtyard for a while, Yan Qing took out a fast jade pendant from his waist and asked Qingtong and Zhao Yan: "The meeting gift from Li Houde said that it was a special jade from his hometown, what did you get?" ”

Qingtong took it and looked at it, looked up at Yan Qing and said, "I didn't have a father who was a big official, so naturally I didn't have a greeting gift." ”

"What about you?" Yan Qing asked Zhao Yan again.

Zhao Yan said: "It's the same, but I confiscated it." ”

"Why don't you take it?" Yan Qing asked again.

Zhao Yan looked at him, "What do you think?" ”

Yan Qing thought about it, hurriedly took the jade pendant back, looked at Qing Tong and said, "You don't have it, then I can't ask for it." Take someone else's hand short, isn't it? ”

After that, he stopped standing, and hurriedly looked for Li Houde to return the jade.

As soon as Yan Qing left, Zhao Yan said: "Who sends and who doesn't, this Li Houde can tell the difference." ”

Qingtong shrugged his shoulders: "His father is a county official, and he has no power in Beijing, if he wants to stay in Hanlin or stay in Beijing, he can naturally only rely on himself." ”

"Speaking of which, why don't you send it? If you give it, I will take 100,000 gold. Zhao Yan joked.

Qing Tong looked at him with wide eyes: "What do you mean?" I don't have a father, but I have a godfather, okay? My godfather is a national prince, okay! If you give me 100,000 gold, I'll take it too! ”

Zhao Yan smiled again and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." ”

"Why don't you take it seriously, you just mock me for being from a poor background!" Qingtong said and went to the palace, Zhao Yan had no choice but to catch up and make amends, and said: "Manly man, it's not possible to be so stingy." ”

"Koko, I'm still so stingy! How can you bear with me? ”

Qingtong was just joking with Zhao Yan, and when he arrived in the palace, he still read books and compiled history with peace of mind. Except for the kung fu and eating, he worked in the temple at other times.

Xu was because Zhao Yan and Yan Qing confiscated Li Houde's things, and Li Houde did not get close to the two of them anymore, but became Zhou Rui's follower. Zhou Rui wanted to drill into the circle of three people with green pupils again, and looked at it on his face, everyone was still in harmony, regardless of you and me.

When it was time to disperse in the evening, someone came to find Qingtong, saying that it was Master Gu from the Ministry of Rites. Qingtong went out to see it, it was Gu Minghong, the second master of the Gu family. It's not a big deal for him to find himself, he only said: "The master has a drinking scene at home, and I will let you go tonight." Brother Jing is already in the house, and you will go with me later. ”

Since this is the case, then he can't refuse, and Qingtong asked more: "Second brother, let me ask more, except for eating and drinking and watching plays, is there anything else?" ”

Gu Minghong said with a smile: "Happy event, it turned out that my wife helped you find a good candidate, and I happened to meet you tonight." Whether it is good or not, it can also be decided. ”

Blue Eyes: ......

Blind date? Forced marriage?
