"Yurong!" Xia Xiaodong shouted again: "Did you hear what Yingsleeve said just now?" ”

"Hear, hear." Xia Yurong nodded, her eyes widened, and she didn't know what her sister meant by asking.

"Did you write it down?"

"Uh--remember, write-down."

That sounds like a bit of a grudge. Everyone is a little puzzled, is it impossible to have a gentleman to take revenge for ten years?

"It's good to write it down," Xia Xiaodong nodded with satisfaction, still with a sad look on his face: "If you go back today, you have to return to your father with a good life." ”

There were a few faint sighs from inside the room. For a long time, I would only go home and cry, but that wasn't in vain. If you think about it with your toes, you know that it is impossible for Commander Xia to stand up for his daughter because of a few words from a maid in the prefect's family.

"I want to ask my father to go to the prefect's house to make amends." Xia Xiaodong continued.

What? A few people who had just turned their heads away in anger turned their heads again. Who makes amends to whom? It's not about asking your dad to come forward and let the other party make amends, but to let your own dad make amends? This girl is stupid, isn't she? Upside down, right?

Even Zhang Wenjuan and Ying Sleeve were stunned.

Yingsleeve couldn't help but tug at his ears. Of course, the young lady can play majestic from time to time, but she is not arrogant enough to think that she can force the commander to make the master come forward to make amends.

"Why do you want your father to make amends?" Yurong had her mouth half-open, and she also looked inexplicable.

Well, it's really good to act in such a true color.

Xia Xiaodong praised in his heart, still looking distressed: "You are stupid!" Didn't I just ask you? You answered too. You've heard and heard Yingsleeve's words, and you've remembered them, why don't you understand them? ”

Who the hell is stupid?

Yurong was still ignorant, looking around blankly, and received countless equally blank glances, so she had to ask: "Please also ask my sister to make it clear." ”

Ying sleeve said, that is, in a place like Suzhou, if it is in the capital, a four-rank civil official like the prefect and the military attache at the same level will kneel when they see it. Right? Xia Xiaodong repeated Yingsleeve's words almost word for word.

"......" Yurong nodded.

"That means that my father didn't kneel down and salute when he saw the prefect before."

"......" Yurong continued to nod.

"It can be seen that the prefect is very dissatisfied with this! My father was so rude to the prefect in the past, and the prefect has not hesitated to wake up our family through the mouth of the guò maid, why don't you understand? My father didn't take the blame again, but I was afraid that the prefect would directly blame him. Xia Xiaodong looks like he hates iron but not steel.

"......" Yurong couldn't turn a corner: "But...... Ying Sleeve said, uh, she heard about it. ”

"Yes, of course I heard about it, but if I didn't hear about it, could she be such a maid and the like, she can still make it up by herself." Xia Xiaodong is kind and seductive: "Then who else can she listen to?" ”

"......" Yurong's eyes widened suddenly: "So, such a statement, in Uncle Zhang's house, even the inner house knows!" ”

Indeed, there is a saying that the emphasis is on literature and light on military force. Indeed, with the same rank, military attachés are a head lower than civilian officials. Indeed, in the capital, which is a place where officials walk all over the place, they often have to beg for help, and it is possible for military attachés to kneel and kowtow to civilian officials.

However, there are buts in everything.

But here, everyone knows this kind of situation, but they can't say it, openly say it, where is the official system of the imperial court?! Which article, paragraph, and which one stipulates that military attachés at the same level are lower than civilian officials?

Kneel down, huh? But the four-rank civil officials who were kneeled down were assigned official positions by the officials. Are you? This can only be used to snicker and secretly discuss it, slandering and slandering the image of the military attaché. Can this be put on the table?

Have you heard of it in the circle? A group of civil officials and scholars gathered in one place, even if the military attache was called a dog, it didn't matter. The circle is wrong, you are a maid, in front of a group of young ladies from the military attache family, what do you say kneeling, you have never died?

Yingsleeve suddenly panicked. Why did the two girls of the Xia family talk and talk, and they say that their own words are that the prefect's house is not careful to discuss official affairs at will?

"I, I...... Slave doesn't mean that! Yingsleeve hurriedly shouted: "The slave is just talking casually, and has no other intentions." ”

Xia Xiaodong didn't sweep the corners of his eyes, and continued to talk to his sister: "I heard you call Uncle Zhang, the prefect, and I think that my father and the prefect also have some family contacts. Because of this, for the sake of this greeting ceremony, even if the prefect has a problem in his heart, it is difficult to say it clearly. ”

Zhang Wenjuan was also a little unclear, but the more she listened to it at this time, the more wrong she became, and seeing that no one paid attention to Ying's words, she had to come over and smile and said, "Don't misunderstand, two sisters......"

Without waiting for her to continue, Xia Xiaodong had already squatted down and made a standard blessing posture, and replied very solemnly: "What my sister taught is this." ”

What's the lesson? Who taught you a lesson? Zhang Wenjuan is simply full of black lines. Obviously, the other party saluted very respectfully, but ...... It's just not right, I don't feel respected at all, .......

And just when Zhang Wenjuan was interrupted and a little speechless, Xia Xiaodong quickly stood up straight, the speed was comparable to a spring!

The girls, who had seen the hilarity from afar and up, let out a low laugh.

"You learn a little." Xia Xiaodong said to his sister Yurong.

"yes, yes." Yurong nodded again and again, but the expression on his face was clearly saying, what do you want to learn?

"Look," Xia Xiaodong smiled, "After Yingsleeve said those words just now, Sister Wenjuan didn't say a word. ”

"Hmm." Yu Rong nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"It can be seen that Sister Wenjuan has also heard of what Yingsleeve said, and she agrees with it in her heart." Xia Xiaodong educated his sister and said: "But this matter still has to take care of our family's face, so the meaning just needs to be transmitted." When we expressed our attitude and wanted my father to apologize in front of the prefect, Sister Wenjuan stood up and said that it was just a misunderstanding. ”

"Do you understand? This is a 'two-sided light' strategy, which not only explains the meaning of the prefect, but also claims that it is just a misunderstanding, and it is easy to advance and retreat! It's a very clever technique, so you have to learn a little bit. Xia Xiaodong concluded.

Zhang Wenjuan's tears were about to fall. is also a very clever technique, this can be regarded as clever, then what is the way you turn your hands into the clouds and rain, and seem to retreat? But I couldn't think of a word for a while. Either the prefect took the opportunity to beat, or the inner house was poorly managed and the maid was not careful in her words and deeds, and she didn't want to admit it.

As for the thoughts that were supposed to belittle Xia Xiaodong and 'break up' her and Zhang Wenmao, they can't be mentioned.

"Well, sister," Xia Yurong said hesitantly: "Sister Wenjuan is good, Uncle Zhang......, uh, the prefect is also very good." Maybe it's true, well, it's just a nonsense, it's just a misunderstanding. ”

Zhang Wenjuan's tears are really coming down. The daughter of the Xia family is still sensible.

Xia Xiaodong's eyes widened. This sister ...... That's amazing.

I really can't see it.
