Chapter 113: Take away the evil slaves

Sent away his daughter, son-in-law and grandson. Although the old lady was reluctant, she was in a very good mood, and happily watched Aunt Shun lead the girls to sort out the various gifts they brought.

Aunt Shun waited patiently until it was completely cleaned up, waved her hand and motioned for the girls to go down, and suddenly knelt down in front of the old lady. "Old lady, the old slave has heard some bad rumors in the house these days, it is about the old lady, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

The old lady who was still immersed in joy was stunned, bad rumors? About yourself? What rumors scared Shun Gu into making such a big gift?

His brows couldn't help frowning, and he said angrily: "Hurry up and say it!" What is kneeling at such an age? You don't know my temper? ”

Shun Gu hesitated, the old lady cherished the reputation of Xie Mansion and her own virtuous name, although she was in charge of Xie Mansion alone, she was cautious everywhere, and refused to be criticized in the slightest, if she knew that there were such rumors in the house, she still didn't know what it would be?

In the end, he mustered up the courage to say: "Old lady, the old slave only heard it yesterday, but my aunt and grandmother and the young master and young lady of the Pei family are here, and the old slave doesn't want to spoil the old lady's interest, so I didn't mention it, but I have to say it today." In the past few days, it has been rumored in the house that the old lady beat and scolded the eldest lady's maid. The two girls were so frightened that they couldn't afford to get sick, and they didn't want the eldest lady to study, and said that the motherless child was so pitiful, and even the girl had to be bullied! ”

There was a crisp sound, and the old lady slammed the teacup on the ground, and was so angry that she screamed: "Which bastard thing said this?" I just taught the two girls a few words, where did I move a finger? It's actually implicated in the eldest lady, who have I become? Even teenage girls have to be abused? Send Aunt Zhen now! ”

Aunt Shun answered and was about to go out, when the old lady called out to her: "Is it a big spread outside?" ”

Shun Gu didn't dare to hide it, and nodded in embarrassment. The old lady's face became even more gloomy, and after thinking for a while, doubts gradually surged in her eyes: "Didn't I say that the two girls were already well when I left that day, and I also ate some snacks and sent them to sleep to suppress my shock, why did I suddenly get scared out of illness?" It's still so ugly outside, it seems that someone did it deliberately? Forget it, don't ask Aunt Zhen yet, Xiu'er doesn't speak very calmly, so let someone secretly pass on Zihu, and see who made the ghost! ”

Changsheng got up from a nap, heard someone coming in outside, and after a while, Zihu came in, and said very carefully: "Girl, the slave maid used to know a sister in the Heju Hall and a sister came, and wanted me to go over and draw a few patterns for her, if the girl is fine, the slave and maid will come back." ”

Changsheng chuckled and said in surprise: "Purple Hu still paints patterns? I can't really see it. Since you are invited by sisters, then go quickly! ”

Zihu glanced at Changsheng uncertainly. But he couldn't see anything, and hung his head slightly and said, "Miss Xie, the slave has gone." ”

Zihu said goodbye and left, Changsheng thought for a while and came to the East Cross Courtyard where Aunt Tai was reading a Buddhist scripture, and said with a smile: "Changsheng took a nap, and suddenly wanted to see if the magnolia flowers had bloomed, so I came over to disturb my aunt again." Didn't my aunt take a nap? ”

Aunt Tai felt that she was strange and seemed to have a deep meaning, but she replied with a smile as usual: "No, the old slave sleeps less, and he still sleeps on hot days, and he doesn't sleep most of the time in cold days." ”

Changsheng still smiled lightly and said: "I heard that the old lady takes a nap every day, and a little girl from Hejutang just came to Zihu to go over to draw a pattern, saying that the old lady has woken up." ”

Aunt Tai finally understood what she meant, stood up and smiled without a trace: "It's just right, I still think that my aunt and grandmother went over to talk to the old lady, and I am afraid that she will be tired and tired in the past few days, so let's go over and take a look now, when people are old, they like to talk about their children." It's just that the girl has just arrived, but I'm leaving! ”

Changsheng also smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay for me to come over." It's just to see the flowers, so please be busy if your aunt has something, I'll take a look at it for a while. ”

Aunt Tai nodded, took Xiu'er and Ling'er away, leaving Changsheng alone to stand under the magnolia tree, picking up a fallen flower casually, although it was still tender and white, but it had already been defeated.

Zihu entered the Heju Hall and was led directly to the ear room, where the old lady and Shun Gu were sitting inside, and quickly knelt down and said: "The slave is afraid that there will be many people during the day, and she is about to go to the old lady at night to talk about something, but it happened that the old lady passed it on." ”

The old lady stared at her for a while, but didn't find anything, and said with a sinking face: "Stand up and talk back, what's going on with those two little girls?" Why is it so ugly in the house? ”

Zihu stood up and said with some trepidation: "Old lady Mingjian, the slave has not been out of Jinshu Courtyard in the past few days, and I don't know what rumors are outside!" That day, the old lady admonished the two girls, Coke and Kexi, and after you left, the aunt asked them to bring them some snacks to eat, and told them to drink hot tea and sleep for a while. Who knew that after they fell asleep, Mama Li from Jinshu Courtyard actually ran to beat and scolded them severely, and I heard that it was Miss Zhou who stopped them after finding out. ”

The old lady's face was gloomy and terrifying, and she said quietly, "Keep talking!" ”

Zihu nodded: "Before dawn the next day, Wei Yatou ran to say that the two girls were so scared that they couldn't afford to serve the eldest lady." Miss Zhou said that she should not go out publicly, there are distinguished guests at home, and do not block the old lady, so she said to the outside world that her aunt and grandmother felt sorry for her niece, and asked the old lady to enlarge Miss Enlargement for two days off without going to class, and then she went to the aunt to discuss the two girls to hire a doctor, and said that they were infected with the cold, and then report to the old lady after the aunt left! ”

The old lady said "oh", her face softened, and she let her go with a few words. When he returned to the main room, he said to Aunt Shun puzzled: "This Zhou Changsheng is very calm when he encounters trouble, and he knows how to maintain the face of the old body, you say that she won't do it, right?" ”

Shun Gu thought for a while: "Zhou Changsheng is a smart person, although he was hired by the uncle, but he also understands that the old lady is the head of the family, you treat her well these days, and you also trained the second master for her at the last dinner, she is too late to repay her kindness, how can she slander the old lady so much?" ”

"You mean, those rumors have nothing to do with her?"

Shun Gu nodded: "The old slave thinks so, although the uncle is not in agreement with the second master, he will not instruct Miss Zhou to use this method to slander the old lady, and Miss Zhou doesn't look like it, there must be another reason." ”

The old lady's face softened. At this time, a girl reported that the aunt was coming, she exchanged a look with Aunt Shun, the aunt came in with a smile, bent down and said: "The old slave congratulates the old lady first, the aunt and the aunt are in love, and the aunt is very promising, the young master Pei Miss Pei is a dragon and phoenix in the world at a young age, and she is extremely filial to the old lady, which is really enviable!" ”

The old lady smiled and took her seat, and waved the girls down. After examining it for a while, he said, "Aunt Zhen is not just here to congratulate the old body, right?" ”

Aunt Tai smiled, turned sideways and said respectfully: "Yes, the old slave does have something to tell the old lady, the aunt and aunt are here these days, the old slave is afraid of sweeping the old lady's interest, so he discussed with Miss Zhou to suppress it in advance, and only then did he estimate that the old lady woke up, so he came over." ”

Then 1510 said that after the old lady admonished Coke and Kexi that day, the two girls were already fine, but they were frightened by Mama Li's back and scolding everyone, and they couldn't get up after eating these days.

The old lady's face was suddenly very ugly, and the aunt said: "Originally, she was a grandmother, and it was nothing to discipline the little girl, but the old lady had just admonished, and she took a feather duster and beat and scolded, and the old slave saw it with her own eyes, and the body was blue and purple, and the child who was only in his early ten years old was really ruthless, and the two girls were so frightened that they fell ill!" ”

Shun Gu saw that the old lady was so angry that her face turned white, she knelt down with a plop, and said with tears in her eyes: "The old lady has been kind and good all her life, treating widows and orphans, all of them are sympathetic and merciful, we Xie family buried the family slave cemetery, I don't know how many people have been buried, and the treatment of domestic slaves is extremely lenient. Today, he was ruined by a wicked slave, and it was rumored that he was bullying his biological mother's granddaughter who died early while the concubine was away, and even her maid had to be abused, how could such a wicked slave be tolerated! ”

After hearing this, the aunt was even more frightened, and knelt down from her seat and said with tears in her eyes: "Who is so viciously slandering the old lady? In the past few days, I was afraid of disturbing the old lady and her aunt and grandmother, so I stayed in Jinshu Courtyard and never went out. also discussed with Miss Zhou to suppress the matter first, and then punish the evil slave when her aunt and grandmother left, who would have thought that it would be like that outside! It's all the old slave's dereliction of duty, please punish the old lady! ”

The old lady slapped the table in anger: "Why is that evil slave so domineering?" Since she did it, why did the house spread like that? I was innocently implicated! ”

Aunt Tai hurriedly said: "That Mama Li is Granny Lu's confidant, and Granny Lu was quite indulgent to her when she was there, so she developed a vicious and domineering temperament. Since the old slave passed, she has seen a lot of restraint without support, who would want to do this kind of thing again! As for the rumors, I think some people who don't know what are going on are casually speculating and spreading, right? Do you want to send Mama Li for interrogation? ”

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Forget it, she is the old grandmother of Jinshu Courtyard, and she has won the trust of Granny Lu, if I take advantage of Mingche and Granny Lu to severely punish her, people who don't know still think that I took the opportunity to find fault with Jinshu Courtyard, and I don't know what it will become?" Aunt Zhen went to tell her, and said that the old body spared her this time, and three days later, she proposed to go to the slave stove to do chores, and wait for Lu Nanniang or the eldest prince to come back and then do the plan, if you dare to commit it again or say a word nonsense, you will be severely punished! ”

Aunt Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say goodbye and leave, when the old lady called out to her: "In the future, be more lenient to the people of Jinshu Courtyard, especially Miss Zhou, how she wants to discipline the eldest lady, as long as it is not a terrible thing, she will go, go back and appease the two little girls, Aunt Shun and others will send some things to them to suppress the shock, and slowly let the people inside and outside the house forget about this matter." ”――
