Mrs. 004
The most important thing for the Shen family is dignity and family reputation, even the family motto also writes this, without these two, what is the difference between this century-old family and the average big family? Without these two things, how could the Shen family have such a great appeal, be able to stand tall in the troubled times, and return to the court with glory after the initial decision of the universe?
Even Mrs. Shen herself did not dare to say that the Shen family was afraid of the power of the nobles and had to bend their waists to the powerful, even if the Shen family, who was a former courtier, was now a courtier of the Zhou family, which in itself was already a disobedience.
And for the Gu family, they naturally don't want to have a reputation of bullying, let alone bullying their neighborhood colleagues?
Therefore, Shen Yan's words simply provoked the nerves of Mrs. Shen and Gu Shao's grandmother Qi at the same time.
But although Shen Yan said it, it was an indisputable fact that Chen volunteered to go out to greet them, and she whispered to Shen Yan that everything was in everyone's eyes, so Chen didn't want to clear himself. Although Mrs. Shen is still a little suspicious of her daughter-in-law, Qi has completely focused on Chen, how can Chen have a good face if he is in such a situation?
Everyone in the room turned their eyes to this time, and Mrs. Shen's face was also extremely ugly.
"What is the reason for the uproar in front of the court?"
Hua's original mind was all about the Gu family's complaint, but when he heard Shen Yan's reply like this, he also smelled something strange, because he was in Yaori Hall, he couldn't bear to make a sound, and when he heard Mrs. Shen's words, he raised his feet and entered the threshold.
Shen Yan raised his eyes to look at Chen, Chen looked at her innocent face, gritted his teeth, threw the handkerchief and entered the house.
As soon as Shen Yan entered the door, he saw the two people sitting on the left side of the main hall, the noble lady had double red phoenix eyes, tall eyes, bright eyes and bright teeth, obviously a young woman with a good face, but her face was full of frost, which made people feel cold when they looked at it more, naturally it was Qi's.
Looking at Qi's right side again, Shen Yan couldn't help but laugh a little.
She remembered that Gu Song was one year older than her, perhaps because his parents practiced martial arts, at this time he looked slightly taller than his peers, plus he exercised a lot, and his feet were also very tight, so this made him look better than others, plus his facial features were still neat and decent, so he was also a beautiful man in the circle of Beijing nobles.
But right now, the folding fan in the hand of this beautiful man is held tightly in the palm of his hand, and his left eye is still bruised, just like a white-haired black-eyed cat that Shen Yan once raised, and it can't be called beautiful in any way.
Shen Yan smiled, Gu Song immediately tensed his whole body, his fists clenched, and his eyes glared at her fiercely like copper bells. It looks like if it weren't for so many people at the scene, he would have pounced on her at any time and strangled her.
Shen Yan hurriedly cleared his throat and followed Hua's back to greet Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand and pointed to the left: "I've seen Mrs. Shizi first." Then explain what happened at the mouth of the alley today to Mrs. Shizi. β
Shen Yan then went to salute the Qi family.
The corners of Qi's lips twitched, and he raised his chin and glanced down coldly: "The second girl is so capable, she beat our family Brother Song like this, if I didn't know that the Shen family has been from the literature for generations, I really have to wonder if the girl came out of the bandit's nest." β
"Mrs. Shizi, please listen to my explanation."
Hua's didn't want her daughter to be blamed in vain, so she stepped forward, lowered her body and said, "Sister Fang Caiyan also came back to tell me about this, there are still some misunderstandings, and Mrs. Shizi also asks me to explain the ins and outs." β
Shen Yan's words at the door just now, Qi Shi listened to it in her heart, she saw Gu Song returning home with big blue eyes, and immediately panicked, and heard that Song Jiang said that Shen Yan beat him, so he dragged Gu Song over angrily, and didn't bother to ask in detail. How did you know that there was still Gu Song and they knocked Shen Yan unconscious?
She saw that Shen Yan was white and calm, she had never shown timidity since she entered the door, and her eyes were also very clear, and she could see that she was not confused. In my heart, I don't believe that she will tell this kind of lie that can't be hidden for a long time, if so, then is there really a reason for Gu Song to be beaten?
So when Shen Yan and Chen had the confrontation, she secretly called the maid to inquire, and turned her head to hear the truth, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged. But seeing Gu Song's left eye blue like this, she quickly cheered up again, no matter what, right now Shen Yan is standing in front of her with a good look, but Gu Song is blue with only one eye, no matter how this account is calculated, it should be the Shen family who gave them an explanation, right?
So she snorted: "It was Sister Yan who beat our Brother Song, so many people saw it at that time, what misunderstanding was there?" β
Gu Song pursed his lips and glanced at his mother. I don't know if I think such nonsense is a good one.
Although Fahrenheit is a southern woman, she has been saying everything in her mother's house since she was a child, and she is also a temper tantrum, hearing her say this, she immediately straightened her waist, and said in a coquettish tone when she was manic: "If Mrs. Shizi wants to say this, then we have to say it well." You only saw your son get bruised, so what about the bag that came out of the back of my daughter's head?
"Even if you want to settle accounts, you have to have a first-come-first-served basis, right?"
The Rongguo Mansion has been very prestigious over the years, and the Qi family has been respected when they go out, and now they don't want the little Hua's heart to be so high, so he stood up, "Yo, I really don't know if I don't come, I'm scared when I come." These young grandmothers in your mansion are really more powerful than the other. First, the fourth grandmother was a hot intestine, and now the ** milk is so justifiable.
"Don't think I don't know anything, our Song Jiang accidentally pushed the second girl, but didn't our Brother Song hurry up to take care of it? You two girls are good, I can't help but say that I stabbed him with a punch, and I took care of him and took care of the wrong one! If we Song Ge'er are the kind of people who are bent on bullying people, won't they also run away after hitting someone like some people's children? β
Qi glared at Shen Yan fiercely as he spoke, and it was obvious that this "child of some people" was referring to her.
Qi's mother's family is also a military general, so she is also well-known for her pungent temperament in the workshop, and now that she throws out these few words, the Shen family, which always pays attention to rules and decency, is particularly lethal. More than a dozen pairs of eyes of the Shen family looked at her at the same time, and no one spoke, but the surprise in their eyes was naked.
Isn't this what is commonly known as scolding the street?
Gu Song slid down from the big circle chair and pulled the hem of his mother's clothes behind his head with a pair of frowning eyebrows.
Shen Yan looked at this battle, and also gave Mama Huang a look. Although she has always admired Fahrenheit's beauty-like temper, after all, Mrs. Shen is still there, and this matter is related to the harmony between the two governments, so such a reckless quarrel is not beneficial at all.
Under such silent persuasion from the sons and daughters of both sides, Hua's Qi also retreated half a step away with their own grace.
But Qi was still angry in her heart, she glanced at the Shen family, and finally looked at Hua, and snorted: "The people of our martial arts family have always spoken straightforwardly, but I didn't expect that the people raised in the splendid pile of ** milk are also so happy and neat, it seems that although your mansion is famous, the threshold is not so high, why do you marry everyone back into the house?" It's really polluted the door style of this noble family. β
Although Washington is an imperial businessman, it is a merchant family after all, and it stands to reason that the Shen family should not have intermarried with Washington, if it weren't for the reason back then...... Fahrenheit's pretty face turned purple and red, and he stared at Qi as if his eyes were about to fall out of his sockets.
Gu Song frowned tightly and looked at his mother, revealing a disagreement that Shen Yan could clearly see.
Shen Yan walked to Hua's side and looked at Qi's: "I don't know if Mrs. Shizi looks down on Shang Jia or Shen Mansion when she says this?" If you look down on businessmen, then I have to remind Madame that even the clan has industrial shops on various streets, and Madame even looks down on the emperor and the clansmen? β
Qi was dumbfounded.
Shen Yan smiled, suddenly changed his tone again, and said with a cold face: "The Rongguo Mansion is loyal and patriotic, how can Madam mean this?" If this is not the meaning, then it must be looking down on the Shen Mansion. Although my uncle and grandfather were businessmen, my mother had already married into the Shen family and was already a member of the Shen family.
"As the saying goes, if you want people to respect yourself, you must first respect yourself, don't say that my mother is not in front of our wife, that is, in the territory of our Shen family, it is not a bird, a grass and a subordinate in our family, that is to look down on the Shen family. ββMadame, did you say yes? β
After speaking, she turned to face Mrs. Shen, who was sinking like water on the seat, and lowered her head slightly.
In front of the Qi family, it stands to reason that she has to perform the junior ceremony, but should people like the Qi family be respected? If a person has to think about the consequences for a long time even if her mother is humiliated in public, then what is she going to do again? Jump straight into the moat and die.
Mrs. Shen sat upright in the high hall, looking at the top of her head with half-lowered eyes, her eyes condensing into ice inch by inch.
Qi's pistol with a stick, the most embarrassing thing was not Fahrenheit, but Mrs. Shen. She is the head of the family, and her daughter-in-law was ridiculed like this, and what she lost was the reputation of her Shen family, and the reputation of her wife in charge! At this time, she had already pulled her face as long as the door panel, but due to the momentum of the Gu family and her own identity, she couldn't let go of this heart to reason with the Qi family.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yan suddenly led the troubled water to her with a fluttering word, looking at the eyes of the room, the eyes she looked at Shen Yan almost didn't shoot out directly.
It's obviously her fault, but now she's dragging her into the water, this is Fahrenheit's good daughter!
But now, she had to stand up.
She lowered her eyes and put the teacup on the table, stroked her forehead with black velvet, and said slowly: "I listened to Mrs. Shizi's previous words, and I admitted that the people in your mansion had pushed Sister Yan'er, and I am sorry that Sister Yan offended Xiao Shizi." But I don't know what the reason is, Sister Yan was pushed down and knocked unconscious? β
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Shen's position became obvious.
