Chapter 62 Punishment
When the old lady returned to Songhe Hall, An Ruojin had been waiting with a group of people for a long time.
Mama Song and others hugged the old lady into the door, and after taking off the cloak for the old lady, a little girl immediately came up to hold the cloak, as well as those who sent hot cloths, those who served hot tea, and those who handed over the hand stove.
When the people who came to serve all retreated, Mama Song and Mama Wu helped the old lady to sit down on the side of the main seat, and then one pulled the rich and noble flowers and covered the old lady's knees, and the other took the auspicious Ruyi pattern makeup satin that the maid held up and put it on the old lady, and the big maid's red silk lit the old lady's favorite agarwood incense.
In a few moments, an elegant and distant fragrance wafted through the room.
When Mama Song and the others retreated to the side, everyone immediately saluted.
"Grandmother Ann."
"Meet the old lady."
"Excuse me." The old lady reclined on the warm couch and waved her hand without being salty.
Then they gave thanks and stood up.
"Tell me what's going on." The old lady and the old god took a sip of tea on the ground, and glanced at the people below lightly, and her eyes only stayed on An Ruoxian's wolf bรจi face for a moment.
Hearing this, the five sisters all knelt down, and An Ruoyan and An Ruoke looked at An Ruojin together, waiting for her to make an idea. Obviously, they regard An Ruojin as their backbone.
An Ruojin is the eldest of the five, and she knows that she can't shirk her responsibility, so she said what happened in the plum garden in 1510, from beginning to end, there is no bias, as if she is just stating as a bystander.
It's not that An Ruojin is honest and honest, she also thought about adding a few words of oil and vinegar, but An Ruolan's words reminded her.
On the way to Songhetang, An Ruolan asked her privately, where is there no grandmother in this backyard?
This sentence didn't seem to have much to do with the matter, but when she thought about it, she couldn't help palpitating.
Where is the person who doesn't have a grandmother in the backyard? She really couldn't answer, even as a mother of the clan's wife, there were grandmothers around her. Although my grandmother has now delegated a lot of power to my mother, she can say that this huge backyard is still completely in the hands of her grandmother.
Thinking about this, where does she dare to mix half a lie?
Naturally, you have to be as honest as you are.
After An Ruojin finished speaking, everyone present changed their faces.
Some are surprised that she doesn't know how to hide it, some are surprised that she is so transparent, and some speculate about the truth or falsehood of her words.
An Ruoke and An Ruoyan were shocked and anxious, and couldn't help complaining in their hearts that An Ruojin was too rigid.
An Ruoxian was shocked, and looked at An Ruojin frequently with inquiring eyes, but An Ruojin did not squint, her demeanor was calm and dignified, and she couldn't see the clue at all.
The old lady glanced at An Ruojin appreciatively, then her eyes were slightly cold, she turned to look at An Ruoxian, and said unhurriedly: "Sister Xian, what do you have to say." โ
An Ruoxian secretly withdrew her gaze from An Ruojin, pursed her lips, tilted her chin slightly and said, "My granddaughter has nothing to say." โ
's stubborn and unyielding appearance suddenly made everyone think about it again.
The old lady was noncommittal, slowly flicked the tea lid, and said: "For the sake of not making a big fuss, the old woman will not punish you heavily, except for Sister Jin, the rest will go to the ancestral hall and kneel." As for Sister Jin'er, you handled it properly, and the merits and demerits were offset, and you were exempted from punishment this time, and there will be no example. โ
Hearing this, An Ruoke and An Ruoyan's eyes flashed with resentment, and they became more and more resentful of An Ruojin for not covering them up.
"Thank you, grandmother." An Ruojin thanked without sadness or joy, paused, and said, "Grandmother, since the matter is not big, why not make a big thing a small thing and a small thing?" Instead of letting the sisters go to the ancestral hall to starve and freeze, it is better to let them go to their grandmother's Buddhist hall to kneel, and they can also copy the scriptures at the same time, so that they can not only pray for the Hou Mansion, but also reduce gossip. โ
The significance of the ancestral hall is self-evident, and even if the young lady who enters here to punish her kneels makes a small mistake, it will leave a bad impression of misconduct on others.
Hearing this, except for An Ruoxian, the eyes of the few people kneeling brightened.
The old lady's eyes were even more appreciative, and she nodded: "Well, then do as you say." โ
An Ruojin showed a little joy on her face, and kowtowed: "My granddaughter is willing to copy the scriptures with her sisters and pray for the blessings of the Hou Mansion." โ
At this time, An Ruoyan and An Ruoke only had gratitude and emotion in their eyes.
"Good." The old lady praised without hesitation, and then her eyes were slightly downcast, and she slowly swept towards everyone present, and the people who were swept were all silent, not daring to react at all.
The old lady gave Mama Song another look, Mama Song understood, and said with a smile: "Several young ladies volunteered to go to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures and pray for the blessings of the Hou Mansion, it is really heartfelt, there is such a well-behaved and filial granddaughter, the old lady is so blessed!" โ
Hearing this, the maids and women below hurriedly echoed: "The old lady is deeply blessed!" โ
"Hmm." The old lady nodded with a smile, "I'm very relieved." โ
An Ruoxian looked at everyone in a daze, this matter is over?
She still hasn't done it, and this thing is over?
As early as when An Ruojin brought them to Songhe Hall and did not allow anyone to leave half a step, she guessed that An Ruojin was going to suppress the matter, she thought about letting people secretly release the news, but unfortunately An Ruojin looked too strictly, and no one was willing to do things for her at all, so she had to bet on the old lady. She originally thought that the old lady would be angry and would directly favor An Ruojin and the others, but she didn't want to get such a result.
What is this? She worked hard and endured humiliation to enact such a scene, which had already made those talkative subordinates think that she was a victim and could use their mouths to smear An Ruolan and a few others, but now she came to such a show, is this going to burn her efforts?
No, she won't allow it!
Clenched her fists, An Ruoxian shouted: "I have something to say!" โ
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
