Chapter 42: Retreat
Wu Baozhang didn't expect that in her impression, the docile and soft, taciturn Zhou Shaojin was provoked to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, and he became aggressive in the blink of an eye.
She couldn't help but change her face greatly, took a few steps back, and smiled reluctantly: "Miss Zhou Jiaer said that she was laughing, why do you need to confront Miss Pan?" It seems that we look like a little family......"
It's so strong that it's afraid to be sideways.
Wu Baozhang saw that Zhou Shaojin's eyebrows flashed a trace of resoluteness, she was really afraid that Zhou Shaojin was young and ignorant, did not understand human feelings, and recklessly caused trouble to Pan Qing - Pan Qing and Pan Hao's words She heard it clearly, that Pan Qing looked gentle and kind, but her heart was crooked, not a fuel-efficient lamp. When she didn't think of how to take advantage of this matter for the time being, she startled the snake and Zhou Shaojin to make her words clear, and she didn't want to be attacked by the enemy on her back and pulled Pan Qingke in.
She quickly had an idea in her heart, and said, "Second Miss, or maybe I'm dazzled and wrong." It's mine or not, you're a big man, don't worry about me. After she finished speaking, she was still a little uneasy, so she stepped forward to take Zhou Shaojin's hand and said sincerely, "During the Dragon Boat Festival, the second lady came to our house to enjoy the flowers, right?" Someone sent our family two pots of epiphany, my father rewarded me with a pot, raised in my house, take care of my sister-in-law said that the epiphany will bloom during the Dragon Boat Festival, I was thinking about whether to invite three or five confidants to have a flower party, but I happened to meet the second lady. Since I arrived in Jinling, I haven't made a few friends. The second lady must come to enjoy the flowers and cheer me on! ”
Wu Baozhang died down, looking like he was seeking peace.
If you want to stab yourself and leave, how can it be so easy?
Zhou Shaojin thought of the events of his previous life, and he felt so angry in his heart.
Her brain was also spinning fast when Wu Baozhang was singing, chanting, and fighting, and when Wu Baozhang stretched out his hand, she let Wu Baozhang take her own hand, and said lightly: "I have to approve my grandmother and aunt when I go out, and I will talk about it when the time comes!" ”
The topic was not continued.
Wu Baozhang breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but think proudly in his heart, this week Shaojin is young after all, and likes to listen to good words, and his posture is so low, and the matter will be revealed. I just don't know what Zhou Shaojin's heart is? Is it a hiding? Just in case, I have to flatter her well, so that she can't bother with herself anymore.
She smiled and took Zhou Shaojin's arm and said, "Then I'll post it for my sister then, right?" ”
"Okay!" Zhou Shaojin said, and went to Siyi Building with Wu Baozhang, "But I don't know if there will be a lantern festival at home at that time, if you want to make a post, you will send someone over a few days in advance." ”
I'm really interested in playing!
Wu Baozhang pouted in his heart, completely relieved, and said with a smile: "The Cheng family is still preparing to open the lantern festival during the Dragon Boat Festival!" How much does that cost? As she spoke, she was shocked and speechless, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Shaojin, but saw Zhou Shaojin looking around, as if she didn't notice what she said, she breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Zhou Shaojin shouting "Cousin Qing" loudly.
Her heart tightened, and before she had time to think about it, Pan Qing had already walked over.
"What's the matter?" Pan Qing asked Zhou Shaojin.
She has a gentle smile and generous manners, and she still looks elegant, but in Zhou Shaojin's eyes, she is already a masked servant.
"The eldest lady of the Wu family said that she saw me alone with Cousin Xu," Zhou Shaojin said, unabashedly and gradually showing a sarcastic smile, "and said that Cousin Qing also saw me and Cousin Xu alone, so I wanted to gong in front of me and ask Cousin Qing in front of me to ask Cousin Qing clearly: I am obviously not alone with Cousin Xu, how can Cousin Qing say that she saw me and Cousin Xu alone?" Cousin Qing, isn't this a rumor? ”
As she spoke, her expression had become full of grievances, but she said in her heart: You Wu Baozhang said that the matter has been revealed, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world!
Pan Qing was shocked, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his gaze at Wu Baozhang suddenly became as sharp as a blade: "Miss Wu, what the hell is going on?" When did I see the second cousin of the Zhou family and Cousin Xu together? You are also an official lady, a literate person, and you have to speak responsibly! I have been staying with my grandmother, and I went out halfway, but I was just following my mother's order to deliver a message to my brother, and all the elders here can testify to me, but your words are enough to ruin the relationship between our cousins, how can there be a guest like you in other people's homes but pick on other people's sisters? Could it be that this is your Wu family's family heirloom? ”
The words not only questioned Wu Baozhang's character but also questioned the education of the Wu family, and the most important thing was that she had not hidden it when she said this, standing straight, righteous and awe-inspiring, and her voice was neither high nor low, but it was just for the people in the hall to hear clearly.
It's really right to pull Pan Qing in and fight Wu Baozhang!
Zhou Shaojin quietly took a step back and gave up the main battlefield to Wu Baozhang and Pan Qing.
Wu Baozhang never dreamed that Zhou Shaojin would be double-faced and stabbed, and he would say it well in front of him, and he would turn his face and ruthlessly sell himself in the blink of an eye. She was horrified, and scolded Zhou Shaojin in her heart, but she had to fight, and said with a smile: "Miss Pan, this is completely a misunderstanding by Miss Zhou's second lady." When I heard the lead singer of Maban 'Night Run' on the Peony Terrace, I suddenly felt a little dizzy, so I went out for a walk, and because I was greedy for the good shadow of the Peony Terrace, I unconsciously walked into a corridor ......"
Since you don't give me leeway, then don't blame me for not being emotional.
She decided to threaten Pan Qing.
But she forgot that this was the Cheng family's home field.
Without waiting for her words to finish, the Jiang family, who had received the news from the maid, walked in with a sinking face and asked Pan Qing sharply: "Qing girl, what is the matter with the eldest lady of the Wu family?" Your mother just asked you to pass a message to your brother, how did you involve the second miss of the Zhou family and Uncle Xu? ”
looks like a reprimand, but in fact it is testifying for Pan Qing.
Wu Baozhang secretly screamed badly.
She didn't expect the elders of the Cheng family's third room to come so quickly, and she didn't expect that the elders of the Cheng family's third room would be so blatantly protecting their shortcomings.
Wu Baozhang can't advance or retreat - arguing, she is soft-spoken, compared to the elders of the Cheng family's three rooms, who will the people present believe? If she doesn't argue -- that is, she admits Pan Qing's accusations against her, and when the time comes, she will wear the two big hats of "liking to play with tongues" and "the girls of the Wu family are uneducated."
How could a stepmother who wanted to marry her own daughter spare her?
I'm afraid that even if there is an elder brother to help talk about it, my father will be furious.
When she thought about it, she felt cold all over her body, so she hurriedly lowered her head and cried.
Some people in the hall frowned, some whispered, and some persuaded: "Miss Wu, stop crying!" Today is the birthday of the ancestor of the Cheng family......"
Wu Baozhang cried even harder.
She just let others see how the eldest lady of the third room is bullying her!
Jiang was furious in his heart, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he had to smile and step forward to grab Wu Baozhang's shoulder, and persuaded softly: "You kid, what can't you say well?" Is it that the Qing girl bullied you, you tell me quickly, and I will help you teach her a lesson......"
Pan Qing was stunned.
She didn't expect Wu Yuzhang's reaction to be so fast, and she suddenly felt a little remorseful in her heart.
After Pan Qing and Pan Hao broke up, they were still a little relieved of their brother, everyone walked to the Peony Terrace, turned back again, and saw her brother following Cheng Xu into a small road from a distance, but Wu Baozhang and Cheng Xu's entourage were talking with a smile.
Pan Qing remembered very well that when she came out, Wu Baozhang was sitting behind Mrs. Wu obediently, but when she went back, Wu Baozhang appeared where she was talking to her brother.
She was still a little unsure before, but when Zhou Shaojin shouted that she was going to confront Wu Baozhang, she understood that not only Wu Baozhang heard the conversation between her and her brother, but Zhou Shaojin might also hear what she said to her brother.
But no matter what, Zhou Shaojin is his own person.
I have to send Wu Baozhang away and deal with Zhou Shaojin again.
So she didn't think about it, and immediately stood on Zhou Shaojin's side.
But now it seems that this decision may be wrong - Zhou Shaojin is cowardly and has no opinions, although she has no place to save Zhou Shaojin, but she also doesn't like that there is a person around her who can't help with anything and will drag you back from time to time. Wu Baozhang is different, his scheming, wrists, and even reactions are all first-class. If such a person cannot be a friend, it is better not to be an enemy.
Pan Qing had a plan to let Wu Baozhang go.
She glanced at Zhou Shaojin, stepped forward and pulled Jiang Shihai, the corners of her mouth were slightly twitching, and she was about to speak, but Zhou Shaojin, who had been standing next to her and had not spoken, suddenly stepped forward, and pointed to a maid and said, "Go and help the eldest lady of the Wu family get a handkerchief to wipe her tears." Then he turned to Wu Baozhang and said softly: "I have lived in the Cheng family for so many years, and the elders of the Cheng family are not unreasonable. If you have any grievances, just tell the elders, and the elders will definitely make decisions for you. If you cry like this, others will inevitably misunderstand that Aunt Lu bullied you. Miss Wu, is this going to learn from the imperial history? ”
The last sentence, she said with a smile, and there was even a bit of ridicule in her tone, but there was a needle hidden in the brocade, which hinted that Wu Baozhang was competitive, and if he didn't say a word, he would cry endlessly, and he had to fight to win, without the gentleness and tolerance that everyone should have.
Pushed Wu Baozhang to the edge of the cliff!
Pan Qing's eyes lit up, and he quietly took a few steps back, and immediately dispelled the idea of relieving Wu Baozhang.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but feel a little cold in his eyes.
Pan Qing is really not worthy of his peers.
However, since the matter started by herself, how could she quit if she wanted to?
She shouted to Pan Qing: "Cousin Qing, you also come to persuade the eldest lady of the Wu family!" ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Pan Qing's body - she was the one who made Wu Baozhang cry!
Pan Qing's hair was about to stand on end.
Zhou Shaojin, is this still the Zhou Shaojin she knows?
Kill two birds with one stone!
No, it's not just killing two birds with one stone.
I am a person from the third room, and I was dragged into the water, not to mention, Cheng Xu is a person from the long room, and she herself is a person from the fourth room, and today is a guest in the second room...... Except for the five rooms, the Cheng family all stood opposite Wu Baozhang...... However, the five rooms have always been useless and can be ignored......
Pan Qing suddenly felt some sympathy for Wu Baozhang.
Today's things must not be good.
And even if Wu Baozhang can escape today's catastrophe, if she wants to gain a foothold in Jinling City in the future, and wants to find a good family in Jinling City, then she can only count on the Bodhisattva to open her eyes!
She walked over slowly, but her heart no longer had the lightness she had when facing Zhou Shaojin before.
