Chapter II: Family Law
Seeing her words and deeds, Ah Xiu frowned, and thought to herself: Could it be that the aunts surnamed Zhao are like this? The mother of Li Jiahuan in the Red Mansion is also such a snob, and now this one is too, hey!
Originally, Ah Xiu was dissatisfied with her personality, but now she wants to kill her majesty as her main room, but now seeing her words and deeds so frivolous, she has no good impression. He didn't make a sound, just watched her quietly.
This Zhao saw that others ignored her, and Ah Xiu ignored her, so he forced a smile and straightened up by himself. Ah Xiu frowned and snorted: "Hmm! Zhao blinked inexplicably, saw that Ah Xiu did not follow, and saw that the rest of the sisters were sitting on the chairs, so he was cheeky and turned to move to the empty chair under his hand.
Ah Xiu looked at Lian'er, her chin pointed and her mouth was full. Lian'er understood when she saw it, stood up and shouted, "What a side lady with no eyesight!" Madame has allowed you to get up? Or did Madame allow you to sit? When others saw it, they laughed at our Wu Wangfu for being too unruly! ”
Zhao was angry and annoyed when Lian'er drank like this, and turned his head to look at Ah Xiu first. Seeing that Ah Xiu's complexion did not change, she was only eating tea and not speaking, so she simply had the courage to reply: "I don't know if my sister is talking about me or others, my sister has not given birth to a child, or is it a child's temperament, otherwise she will be so popular?!" ”
Zhao's words are vicious, Lian'er is the second to marry in, but she has not come out, and now this clearly shows that she has a son, and she is one level higher than her. Lian'er is a straightforward girl in the end, and when she was so excited by her words, her angry eyes became wet, her feet stomped, and she couldn't speak.
Ah Xiu heard her words, she felt annoyed, and just about to open her mouth, Huilan spoke for her first: "You don't have to hurt people with your mouth, how Lian'er came from, Mrs. and sisters know." Whether you have children or not, it has nothing to do with you, and respect and humility do not lie in giving birth and raising, what you say is so boring! ”
Pei Ruyuan opened her eyes, her face was sour, and she said in a strange voice: "You are naturally helping her!" Who doesn't know that the two of you are people who can't give birth to sons, and you have compassion for each other! Naturally, I can't see ...... I speak."
"Enough!" Ah Xiu finally couldn't help but shout, "What does it look like!" Lian'er, take the family method! Everyone was stunned, and Zhao was also shocked, and said in his heart: Why is this paper tiger angry today? When she was in doubt, Lian'er wiped away the tears that came out of her breath, bowed her head and responded, and took the family method out.
"Kneel," Ah Xiu said coldly. Zhao saw that Lian'er had taken the family law, and asked herself to kneel, only to come to her senses that she was going to beat herself, and she wanted to beg out loud, but Ah Xiu had already slapped the table: "Kneel!" Zhao was so frightened that he had to kneel down slowly.
Ah Xiu was about to ask Lian'er to beat her, but a small person ran into the door. It was Zhu Di, the little Zhu Di was less than five years old, but he already knew how to protect his mother, stopped in front of Zhao's body, opened his arms, puffed out his mouth like a hen and shouted: "Don't beat my mother!" Why hit my mother! ”
Huilan hurriedly motioned to the nurse to pull Zhu Di away, the nurse went to hug Zhu Di, he kicked and beaten, and did not allow others to approach, Ah Xiu saw that he became more and more angry, and shouted: "Take him away for me!" A house slave had to go up and forcibly hug Zhu Di aside, wrap his arms around him, and prevent him from running away.
Zhu Di couldn't get out, and his angry little head had green tendons on it, and he shouted. Ah Xiuqi's face changed, and he suppressed his anger and asked Zhao, "How long have I been out?" This is your Protestant master? Looking at the stance, is this going to fight with me?! ”
When Zhao saw Ah Xiu asking this, he knew that Zhu Di had offended Ah Xiu by his nonsense, and he didn't care about Zhu Di anymore, and he would be punished together with Zhu Di, so he had to reprimand Zhu Di with a cold face, telling him not to move and stand up obediently. Zhu Di still wanted to argue, but Zhao glared, and Zhu Di had to stand up straight obediently.
Ah Xiurang called everyone in the house, and everyone knew that they were really angry this time, so they quickly held their breath and condensed, and they all looked at Zhao quietly, some of them had suffered losses, and they were even more gloating about her making a fool of her.
After a while, everyone was together, and the nurse took their respective young ladies to sit down in the hall, and the house slaves and others stood all over the yard in the dark. Ah Xiu opened his mouth and said: "Back, seven out." ”
All the female dependents gasped, if they hit directly, it would be nothing more than the wife educating the concubine and giving some color. Now that so many people have been called, and they have been asked to recite seven times, it is no longer a simple punishment, but it is more strict, and it has reached the point of deposing the concubine.
Aunt Zhao originally saw that Ah Xiu was really moving, and everyone in the family looked at it, so her frightened face turned white, and her face was covered with snot and tears, and she was not arrogant and presumptuous, just crying lowly. Now that I see Ah Xiu letting myself carry the "seven outs", I know that I can't hide, so I have to carry it obediently:
"Seven outs: childless, for its peerless; disobedience to parents, for their rebellion; fornication, for its promiscuity; jealousy, for its troubled family; If there is a vicious disease, it is not possible to prosper with it; Speak a lot, for the sake of leaving relatives; Stealing, for its antisense also. When he finished his back, he hunched over and sobbed lowly.
"It's too quiet! Loud recall!" Ah Xiu said in a solemn voice. Zhao didn't dare to disobey, so he had to recite it again with a loud voice.
"Now tell me, what are the things you have committed?" Ah Xiu's voice was still cold and could not be resisted. Zhao knew that he really wanted to rectify himself, so he was afraid and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, Pei Ru knows that she is wrong!" Ask Madame for mercy! ”
Ah Xiu snorted coldly: "Hmph! If you don't say it, I'll say it for you, jealous and talkative! After a pause, he said, "You are jealous because you robbed other young ladies of things." You say that you talk too much because you have openly hurt others in front of me. Now that I have committed two of the seven crimes, what should I do? ”
Everyone was shocked again, the housewife now spoke, saying that she had committed two, and it was a reasonable punishment to sell her, and the kind people who used to be the housewife were now ruthless in governing the family, today it is her, tomorrow may be themselves, thinking of this, they are all more careful.
Zhao cried and pleaded: "Madam, I was wrong, please spare me!" I don't dare anymore! Ah Xiu saw that she did know the stakes and scared everyone, so she said: "Nian is your first offense, Zhu Di is still young, and the master is the new king, I won't sell you, I will only punish you with thirty family laws, do you accept it?" ”
Zhao nodded again and again: "Serve!" Madame, I'm serving! As long as you don't drive me away, Mrs. Sui is! Ah Xiu nodded, and Lian'er asked people to carry the bench, and Zhao fell down, motionless. Lian'er looked at Ah Xiu, gritted her teeth, picked up the family method in her hand and pulled it down.
The Zhao family is usually a very face-saving person, but now that Ah Xiu has been used in public, he has already been gray and short by three points, and now he is silent, so he gritted his teeth and endured it, and the people under the nurse covered the eyes of Miss Xiaoye.
At first, Zhao was still enduring for the only remaining face, Ah Xiu asked Lian'er to hit hard, and after more than a dozen times, Zhao couldn't help but shout, Ah Xiu coughed, she was so frightened that she had to stuff her fist into her mouth, and she endured it bitterly.
After the fight, Lian'er's arm was also sore, Ah Xiu asked a few family members to pick up the Zhao family and drag it back to the room, before saying to everyone: "In the past, I had no way to govern the family, and I was too tolerant of you, but now that the lord is the new king, many rules must be picked up." ”
Ah Xiu stood up and said: "I will also bear three points for Mrs. Peiru's sins, and from today onwards, if there is a similar situation, I will not be spared!" Lian'er, move the family method, ten times! As he spoke, he knelt down on the bench and asked Lian'er to carry out the family law.
Lian'er couldn't bear to fight, and Ah Xiu was anxious: "Tianying! Here you go! Tianying's face was sad, and when she saw that she was calling herself, she had no choice but to come and take over Lian'er's family law and fight.
Ah Xiu said: "Hard! Tianying held back her tears and whipped hard. On Ah Xiu's face and neck, large beads of sweat oozed out, but she counted loudly in a calm tone, Huilan and the others were distressed and burst into tears, Lian'er stood close, wept lowly, and buried her head.
After the fight, Ah Xiu stood up, there was a sharp pain, Ah Xiu's body was crooked, and she almost fell, Lian'er had sharp eyes, and she hurriedly leaned on Ah Xiu with her body and supported her body. Ah Xiu smiled gratefully and said to everyone: "Disperse!" And they all disagreed, and dispersed.
After repatriating the other side rooms, Huilan and Lian'er helped Ah Xiu and sent her back to the room. Ah Xiu's back was stiff and stiff, Tianying was distressed and worried when she saw it, and she choked up crying, Ah Xiu hurriedly comforted her when she saw this, and said that it didn't hurt, so she asked someone to send her back first.
When she returned to the room, Lian'er and Huilan gently carried her to the bedside, and helped her to lie down, Lian'er saw the blood-stained skirt, and finally cried: "It's all Lian'er's bad, what are you arguing with her!" made Mrs. angry, and now she is punishing herself in public! Lian'er is confused! ”
Huilan handed the handkerchief to Lian'er, and said, "Why should Madame punish herself for giving us a head, she is like that on weekdays, Madame also knows." Why bother to be really angry for those few words that are born and nurtured. Now that I'm injured, I don't know how long I'll have to nurse! ”
Ah Xiu listened to them just blaming themselves for the quarrel, looked out the window, listened attentively, and didn't notice someone, so she lowered her voice and said: "You are also confused, where did I beat her for 'that'!" I'm for the sake of upright family style, I don't go out much on weekdays, I don't know it's so unusual. ”
Seeing that Huilan and Lian'er were still crying, Ah Xiu softened her tone and pretended to be humorous: "Don't cry, cry as if I'm dead!" Hehe! I just can't see sisters hurting people like cockfights for the sake of such an idea! Others don't understand me, don't you two understand either? Don't cry! ”
Huilan and Lian'er slowly stopped crying, and Ah Xiu smiled again: "That's it!" Why don't you ask me for a doctor, do you want to cry to death?! Hui Lan was startled, and then she remembered that she hurriedly walked to the door with her little feet and called for Langzhong.
Ah Xiu remembered his bamboo tube and asked Lian'er to take it, wanting to open the medicine, thinking about it, he was reluctant, this was a life-saving medicine, so he endured it and waited for Lang Zhong to come.
