Chapter 52: Minor Punishments
Fang Yuniang saw the two concubines climb into the car she was sitting in, and endured it again and again, so that she didn't have a seizure in front of the public.
"These two cars have been prepared for a long time. The two of you have a lot of maids and wives, and the car behind you is more spacious. Fang Yuniang patiently reasoned with Xu Shao's two concubines.
She was born in a small family, and she was pampered since she was a child, and her father and mother were harmonious in her family, and there were no concubines and aunts. Later, he married Du Xiancheng, and he was also held in the palm of his hand, not to mention the concubine and aunt, even if she wanted to be a maid in the room, Du Xiancheng took care of it by herself, and she never had to worry about it.
But the fate of the husband and wife with Du Xiancheng is a little shallower. The good days of the two did not last long, and Du Xiancheng went alone, leaving her with her two children and struggling to survive.
When it was time to be persecuted by the Du clan, Fang Yuniang realized that the question of whether the man she was entangled with before was really nothing.
If they are forced by others to have no way to live, no one will care whether men have concubines and intercourse.
Fang Yuniang was a little sentimental, and said coldly to the two concubines who climbed up and sat in her car: "Did I say that I could let you come up?" Just because they don't come up doesn't mean you can sit down. As he spoke, he scolded the housekeeper's daughter-in-law next to him: "Blind? Anyone can climb into my car, what's the use of asking you?! β
This housekeeper's daughter-in-law is Fang Yanniang's former eldest maid Cuixin, who later married a housekeeper in Sima Mansion and also became a housekeeper's daughter-in-law. He Zeng lost this person in front of people, so he hurriedly said to the two concubines: "Second Miss, Fourth Miss, this is Madame's car, you can't come up." Please go down. β
The second lady thought that she had the support of the eldest young master, and knew that even if she was a lady, she didn't dare to do anything to them, so she said with a smile: "Mother Cui, there is only one car outside, which is for the eldest lady and the third lady to sit on." We went down. Wouldn't the eldest lady and the third lady have no car to sit in? Saying that, he turned around and begged Fang Yuniang, "Mother will take care of this time, let us also get a light and kiss our mother." β
Fang Yuniang's face sank. I finally couldn't help but have a seizure.
Du Hengshuang saw this scene under the car. Said calmly: "It's okay. Let's take this car. Then he beckoned to an unattractive old man who had been standing next to the gate, "Chamber, come and help us check this car." See how it goes. If you pull a crack on the road, delay the trip, and can't get to Muhou's Mansion in time, you will lose the face of Sima Mansion. Knowing the way, he said that we had a problem with the car. I don't know what to do, I thought we were deliberately putting up a shelf and didn't take Muhou Mansion in our eyes. - Really, Master Xu? The last sentence was directly asked by Xu Yanhui.
Xu Yanhui was choked and his face was purple, but he still remembered to sneer at each other: "You have such a big face." Can you represent our Sima Mansion if you are late? Dream your big head! At the same time, he flicked his horsewhip and rushed over, blocking in front of Chamber, "Who are you?" Dare to touch my car? β
Qian Bo raised his head slightly and glanced at Xu Yanhui.
Although it is just the dress of a subordinate, the momentum is extremely terrifying.
Du Hengshuang wanted to have a seizure, but when she saw Fang Yuniang sitting in the car shaking her head slightly, and quickly drifting behind her, Du Hengshuang swallowed the cruel words that came to her mouth, walked to Qian Bo's side, softened her voice, and said softly: "Please raise your noble hand and let our sisters go." Since the eldest young master doesn't like us today, we just don't go. - I'll go home, not in the way of the eldest young master. β
Xu Yanhui had never heard Du Hengshuang's low voice, and the first time he heard it today, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't pay attention to his father Xu Shao just came out of the door.
Du Hengshuang didn't want to go to Muhou Mansion in the first place, and was about to go back on an excuse, but saw his sister Du Hengxue unable to hide his disappointment.
"No! If you don't go, isn't our Sima Mansion even more rude? People have specially posted to you, don't be ashamed! Xu Yanhui said loudly, all his energy was focused on Du Hengshuang, and the whip in his hand was eager to be whipped on her at once, especially on her white jade flawless face, to see if her fiancΓ© was willing to ask for a woman who was out of shape. Even if he is willing, their Xiao family will not be willing. How can a woman be a disfigurer......
Du Hengshuang was also on guard, and said vigilantly: "The eldest young master just said that our sisters have nothing to do with Sima Mansion, why is it related now?" What do you want, young master? β
Luoyang Grand Sima Xu Shao coughed lightly and walked up from behind.
Xu Yanhui saw Xu Shao's dissatisfaction, and realized that he had fallen in love with Du Hengshuang again. - This stinky girl, she must have known that her father was here, so she deliberately made a show of affection and sympathy. It's really vicious, and she wants to destroy our father-son relationship, just like her mother, she is a shameless ......
"What nonsense are you talking about? What the hell is going on? Xu Shao asked while reprimanding Xu Yanhui.
The subordinate who was driving the car on the side was so frightened that he rolled off the car and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching his limbs.
Another subordinate hurriedly took out a small wooden stick from the arms of the subordinate who fell to the ground, stuffed it into the mouth of the foaming subordinate and bit it, turned back to Xu Shao and knelt in return: "Master, Zhang Laosan has epilepsy." He's sick again. β
The driver of the car actually had epilepsy. This Sima Mansion is really a philanthropic family, and it uses talents in an eclectic manner.
Du Hengshuang snorted lightly, very disdainful.
Xu Shao waved his hand, "Hurry up and carry it back." In the future, he will be assigned a lighter errand, and such a strenuous job as driving a car is not suitable for him. β
The subordinates of the Xu family responded and carried Zhang Laosan, who had epilepsy, down.
"Master Sima, can I let my Uncle Qian be a coachman? He's a good driver. Du Hengshuang suggested lightly. She and Du Hengxue followed Fang Yuniang to marry into the Xu family for more than four years, and the big families in Luoyang City never gave the two of them a post to invite them to go out as guests. This time today, this is the first time.
Du Hengshuang remembered what his father Du Xiancheng liked to say, that is. If things are abnormal, there must be demons.
Therefore, in Du Hengshuang's opinion, there must be a reason why this Muhou Mansion specially posted to their sisters, and it will definitely not be because Muhou Mansion has just moved to Luoyang and is not familiar with the situation in Luoyang City.
She knew that Muhou Mansion was one of the nine surnames of Zhaomu, and it was still a royal family not long ago, and now it is also a high-ranking official and nobleman who has been crowned Hou. Not to mention that such a century-old family wants to treat guests, it must be necessary to investigate the situation of the guests in many ways before formulating a list of guests. Let's just say that a small merchant home like their Du family. When I first returned to Luoyang to invite my neighbors to dinner, I had a good time asking others about the situation of my neighbors. For example, whether the daughter-in-law of the Zhang San family is not dealing with the cousins of the Li Si family, and when they are entertained, they cannot let the two of them sit at the same table. Wait a minute.
This is still true for small civilian households. Not to mention those princes and nobles? How could they not know about the embarrassing situation of their sisters?
And know these things. I also want to invite them specifically, what does the meaning behind this drunkard mean?
Now seeing Xu Yanhui's attitude, Du Hengshuang couldn't help but ponder. This incident is not a trap given to her by Xu Yanhui. The purpose was to humiliate her in front of the dignitaries and nobles in Luoyang City.
It doesn't matter if you humiliate her, but you have to implicate your own sister......
Du Hengshuang sneered in his heart: Then let's see, see who is the most embarrassed!
Du Hengxue was afraid that she would not be able to go out as a guest, so she hurriedly came to Xu Shao's side, looked up at a cute little face of Yuxue and begged: "Daddy, let Qian Bo catch the car, he is in a hurry and steadily." Without him, we would not have been able to make it, wouldn't it be rude? β
Xu Shao was very fond of Du Hengxue, and when he heard this, he reached out and touched her bun, and said with a smile: "Okay, since it is Xue'er who intercedes, I will give Xue'er a face." I didn't look at Du Hengshuang, but it made Xu Yanhui feel better, and he felt that he had regained his face, and his face was not so gloomy.
Xu Shao deliberately gave Du Hengshuang a look, but the corner of his eye kept looking at her.
The expression on Du Hengshuang's face did not change at all, it was still faint, and even the anger towards himself that he couldn't hide before was invisible.
Xu Shao nodded secretly, "It's a person who can support the wall." He glanced at his eldest son again, waved his hand, and said, "Go up quickly, you won't be able to catch up later." Saying that, he turned over and got on the horse, which was kind of acquiescing to Chamber's way to catch the car.
Qian Bo saluted Xu Shao, walked slowly to the cart, and began to check. From the wheels to the body, including all kinds of connections, they were carefully inspected, and the last one said to Xu Shao, who was already impatiently waiting: "Back to Da Sima, this car has thirteen problems, and it is really unsitting." β
"What?!" Xu Shao glared at Xu Yanhui hatefully, "Change the car!" Call the steward of the horse house, and take away a year's worth of grain and rice, as an example! β
After making such a fuss, even the unrelated subordinates on the field knew the catty in the road.
First of all, he deliberately did not let Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue prepare the car in advance, and the driver of the car behind him still had epilepsy. Now I found out again, not to mention that there is epilepsy, the car is still scarred.
Where is this car for people? - It's clear that you want to bury the pit of these two sisters!
Hearing this, Fang Yuniang glared fiercely at the two concubines in front of her, and her heart was furious. I've always ignored them, and they're kicking their noses and faces!
Treat other people's concessions as weakness. Treat other people's generosity as bullying, and really think that you can't cure them?
The two original sons-in-law have no way to treat them. But the concubines born of these two cheap concubines, can't she cure them?!
Fang Yuniang immediately raised her voice and said: "The second and fourth young ladies misbehaved, disrespected the elders, and were banned for half a year to learn the rules. - Take them down. When the rules are learned, release them again. β
The two concubines were stupid when they heard this, and immediately turned their heads and shouted, "Big brother!" β
Xu Shao heard these two concubines called "big brother", and immediately understood what role the eldest son Xu Yanhui played in it, and Sen Ran's eyes also looked over.
The eldest son of the Xu family, how can he be so unproductive?! Like a woman, she will only play the tricks of the inner house!
Xu Yanhui's face was red and white, and he said stupidly: "What do you want me to do?" Madame spoke, but you still don't do it? Are you still dead waiting for someone to collect the bodies of you both?! β
The two concubines were so frightened that their faces turned white, and finally they knew that the eldest brother could no longer support them, so they turned their attention to the second young master Xu Yanbang for help.
Xu Yanbang kept looking up at the sky, ignoring the situation here.
Xu Shao's voice was extremely low, "Don't come down yet?" - Sure enough, there are no rules! Your mothers have spoken, have you heard? β
The two concubines got down from Fang Yuniang's car and came to Xu Shao tremblingly, wanting to plead.
Xu Shao glared at the mother-in-law next to him, and the mother-in-law came over, one by one, and carried the two concubines back to the house.
Fang Yuniang also wanted to call Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue to sit in the same car with her, and on the other side, the car bell jingled, and the steward of the Horse Courtyard had personally driven a vermilion incense car over, nodding and asking Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue to get into the car.
Xu Shao thought about it and felt that he couldn't lose Xu Yanhui's face too much. Anyway, he is his eldest son, and he can't hurt the heart of his original son-in-law too much in front of his stepwife.
Xu Shao turned over from his horse, got into Fang Yuniang's car, and said indifferently: "I'm tired, I don't want to ride a horse today." β
Xu Shao sat in Fang Yuniang's car, and Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue definitely couldn't go up.
Xu Yanhui's gray face finally regained a trace of blood.
Du Hengshuang smiled, the other party waved her hand, and got on the new vermilion incense cart that the steward of the Horse Courtyard had just sent with Du Hengxue.
Qian Bo sat in front of him and squeezed the little guy who was driving the car aside to be his deputy.
In front, Xu Yanbang rode forward, Xu Yanhui then caught up, and then Fang Yuniang and Xu Shao's car started to move forward, Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue's car followed behind, and then behind was the ox cart where the mother-in-law and maid were holding their clothes and bags, and they were going to Muhou's mansion.
They had a quarrel at the door, and it was a little late to leave.
When I arrived at the gate of Muhou Mansion, I saw that a courtyard in Nuoda was densely packed with all kinds of cars and sedan chairs. The subordinates of the Muhou Mansion shuttled back and forth from time to time, leading the horses ridden by the guests to the temporary stables specially prepared at the back. There is also a welcoming mother-in-law and maid, who take the arriving female guests to the inner courtyard one by one.
Fang Yuniang took Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue into Muhou Mansion, was first served on a small mule cart, and walked a pillar of incense before coming to the gate of the inner courtyard.
Getting off the little mule cart, Du Hengxue quietly smiled at Du Hengshuang: "This Muhou Mansion is so magnificent, and the yard of his own house actually has to take a car." "Thinking of their Sima Mansion, from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, you can take a sedan chair, but it has not yet reached the point of taking a mule cart.
Du Hengshuang shook her head lightly, signaled Du Hengxue not to say more, and quietly followed behind Fang Yuniang and walked towards the second door.
At the door of the second gate, there was a little lady with handsome eyes and eyebrows, looking forward to it, and she was waiting for it.
Du Hengshuang looked at the past attentively.
Dressed in a royal blue beaded flower vine three-color Shu brocade narrow-sleeved beard suit, a wide silver-white belt around the waist, tightly tied around the waist, pedaling green sheepskin boots, tied with trouser legs, looking clean and crisp. - It was Mu Yelai, the third lady of the Muhou family, who was waiting there.
