29. Provocation
Zhou's heart was resentful, she didn't get anything, she didn't say anything and was punished, just because she was a concubine's daughter-in-law, she was obviously better than Jiang's merchant girl, and the old lady was too partial, her Sister Lan was better than the fat man, I don't know how many times, but she was wronged, how unfair the old lady was.
Jiang took the compensation of the old lady and the Zhang family, and left the old lady's residence with a smile, Su Xizhu looked at the things that his mother took back, his eyes were round, and Jiang looked at his daughter's fleshy face, smiled and pinched.
"These are all good things, my mother will make you some clothes." Su Xizhu nodded, everyone likes beautiful clothes and jewelry, although she is fat, there is no problem at all for these fabrics to make a few large clothes.
Su Xilan cried angrily in the house after knowing this, and when Zhao Yu came to see Su Xilan, she found that her eyes were red and her eyes flashed.
Zhao Yu actually doesn't like Su Xilan very much, she thinks she is a talented girl all day long, but she has a short temper, if it weren't for the fact that the two sisters in the big room are not suitable for her age, and the fat man in the third room has slipped after several contacts and does not leave her hands, she doesn't want to have more contact with Su Xilan.
It's just that their family is in an awkward situation in the Hou Mansion, and they have to choose a room to make friends, Zhao Yu suppressed the thoughts in his heart, looked at Su Xilan and asked.
"Cousin, what's wrong? Who made you angry? ”
"Hmph, don't say you don't know, it's spread all over the house, they are laughing at me, I can't even compare to a fat man, and so is my aunt, since you want to bring your mother's family to talk about it directly, why do you use us as a raft?" Su Xilan hates that everyone thinks she can't compare to Su Xizhu.
"The second cousin is too worried, although I haven't been in the house for a long time, but I also know that the third cousin is not good at anything other than liking calligraphy, but the second cousin, you have the name of a talented girl at a young age, but everyone praises the third cousin for some reasons."
Su Xilan's face became more and more ugly when she listened to Zhao Yu's words, not only did she get better, but she became more and more ugly, "Yes, even if I am better than Su Xizhu's fat man in all aspects, I am also a concubine, and even my father is still an official, but who made me a concubine, in the final analysis, it was a concubine, and my grandmother was eccentric, woo." Su Xilan thought about her life experience from the heart.
"Second cousin, don't be like this, you will laugh at you if you let your third cousin know like this, even if your grandmother knows, it's not good, the second aunt can't take care of you for a while after the eldest cousin and the ceremony. You can't let her worry, or she won't be in charge of anything else. ”
Hearing Zhao Yu say this, Su Xilan remembered that her mother was punished by her grandmother for wanting to help her win over the eldest sister and the praiser, and Su Xizhu got a lot of good things although she didn't get the work of the praiser, and she was even more angry.
The more Su Xilan thought about it, the more angry she became, and Zhao Yu immediately quit after a few more words of persuasion, but she underestimated Su Xilan's patience, and ran out before she was out of the yard, looking like she was desperate to find someone.
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned a little white, she hadn't left Su Xilan before she went to trouble Su Xizhu, would that affect her? Zhao Yu originally meant to make Su Xilan more and more jealous of Su Xizhu and find more trouble for her, so that the two of them had a dispute to highlight her knowledge, but it was not like this.
Zhao Yu hurriedly quickened her pace, but unfortunately she didn't chase Su Xilan but hurried back to her residence, and while walking around, she thought that she shouldn't suspect her, yes, her words were just to persuade Su Xilan, no one can say that she was wrong, it must be.
Looking at Su Xilan, who was hurrying towards her in anger, Su Xizhu put down the comb for Da Bai's hair, got up and planned to greet her, although it was in her own yard, but the affairs of the house could not be hidden from her grandmother, so Su Xizhu must definitely do the etiquette she should have, she is a lady who knows etiquette and loves sisters.
"Second sister, why did you come to me at this time? I didn't say anything in advance, but it just so happened that we went into the house to have some snacks together. Su Xizhu got up, but his movements were not fast and his smile was very pleasing, which was in stark contrast to Su Xilan, who was flushed.
"You slut, you're really looking at my jokes." Su Xizhu frowned, Su Xilan was only eight years old, and Zhou's usual grievances didn't avoid her, how could Su Xilan learn this at a young age? It seems that the eldest sister and the second aunt will not be able to leave the house until she gets married.
Su Xilan watched Su Xizhu walk away, raised her hand and wanted to give her a slap, but Su Xizhu seemed to be dodging, but she accidentally bumped into Su Xilan and knocked her over, not to mention, only to hear a click, Su Xilan screamed, covering her leg, obviously sprained, and the injury was quite serious.
With Su Xilan's screams, a few grandmothers soon came in at the door, and saw Su Xizhu standing there helplessly while Su Xilan hugged her legs and wailed, her expression flashed.
"Second Miss, Third Miss, what's going on?" The leader is her grandmother's henchman Mama Qi, and she knows that she is very valued by her grandmother when she hears her surname.
Mama Qi is the grandmother's dowry maid, she has never married in her life, and her ancestors have been the sons of the Qi family for generations, and she has been given the surname Qi, which can be seen to be reused, and Mama Qi also lives up to the expectations of the Qi family, helping her grandmother take care of a lot of things, that is, the uncle and aunt, and she is also very respectful in the face of Mama Qi.
Su Xizhu's eyes narrowed, it was just a matter of two juniors, how could she let Mama Qi take care of it herself? It seems that there are guests with a very high status at home, and I am afraid that they will have a bad impact if they make a big noise, so I let Mama Qi deal with it, but who is the person who came at this time? Could it be that he is from the eldest brother-in-law's family?
"Third Miss, what's going on here?" Compared with Su Xilan, of course, Mama Qi looked at Su Xizhu more, and Su Xilan didn't look at it much, so even if Su Xilan was crying there now, she didn't pay attention to it, but asked Su Xizhu first, her position was very clear, and Su Xizhu's heart was a lot more stable because of Mama Qi's attitude.
"Hello Mama, I don't really know what's going on. I was combing Da Bai in the yard when I saw the second sister hurrying in with a face full of anger, I got up to greet her, but the second sister said what I laughed at and she wanted to slap me.
I instinctively hid, but Mama, I probably because of the panic relationship, I accidentally bumped into the second sister when I was hiding, and I was fatter, so she fell. Speaking of this, Su Xizhu's face was a little red, and she looked very embarrassed that she didn't mean to.
The others looked at the round Su Xizhu and Su Xilan, who was very thin in pursuit of the wind and weak willows, and they all couldn't help but smile, the two of them would indeed suffer from the collision, and Mama Qi's eyes also flashed with a smile.
"You are talking nonsense, you are doing it on purpose. Su Xizhu, you slut, I won't let you have a good time. Su Xilan shouted but there are few people here who are hers, so although Su Xilan screams fiercely, she is quite a little inward-looking.
Mama Qi's eyes narrowed, and the concubine really couldn't be on the table from the root, even if it was a concubine, but the upbringing of the young lady was not something that she could put her beak on, so Mama Qi raised her hand and let a few rough mothers-in-law come in.
"Come on, the second lady is sprained, send her back, ask the house doctor, let the house doctor treat it well, don't worry, there must be no hidden dangers."
Su Xizhu's eyes flashed, and Mama Qi seemed to be good for Su Xilan, but the eldest sister's ceremony was still five days away, so I am afraid that Su Xilan could only be treated in bed and could not attend, I don't know what Su Xilan would be like when she knew that she could not attend.
Su Xilan watched a few mothers-in-law holding shelves to lift her and scolded loudly, "Get out, don't touch me, who allowed you to touch me." Su Xilan wanted to get up angrily, but there was a sharp pain in her leg, and Su Xilan's face turned pale in an instant.
Su Xizhu looked at Su Xilan, who couldn't resist because of the pain, but was still sent away, and didn't speak, Su Xilan's shouting Su Xizhu didn't take it to heart at all, and soon Mama Qi took someone to leave, Su Xizhu called Chang'an to give a few words, and sat on the stone bench to ponder.
Of course, it is no coincidence that Su Xilan is so badly injured, although she doesn't want to worry about a little girl, but she is not easy to bully, but no one else can see this, after all, no one knows about her skills except her brother, so she can only think that Su Xilan is unlucky.
After Chang'an came back, he looked at Su Xizhu and replied, "Miss is right, Miss Biao went to see her before the second miss came, but Miss Cousin hadn't left the courtyard of the second lady yet, so the second miss ran here." ”
There was no surprise on Su Xizhu's face, Su Xilan was suddenly so irritable, it was obvious that someone was provoking, but the person who provoked didn't expect that Su Xilan was so uncontrollable, and Zhao Yu didn't follow, so it can be seen that she was also afraid.
Su Xizhu raised her eyebrows, Zhao Yu's embarrassing identity, he insisted on staying in the mansion and not being low-key, but he still wanted to catch demons? Which person in the house is stupid, that is, the second aunt knows that Su Xilan has to deal with them first after she comes to trouble her today, and she doesn't have to do this by herself today, and my grandmother is afraid that Zhao Yu's family will be miserable and can't say anything.
Zhao Yu looked at how could she act like this if she wasn't stupid, could it be true that she was the only one in the mansion who was smart? Or did Su Xilan's impression of Zhao Yu lower Zhao Yu's estimate of the IQ of the Hou Mansion?
Sure enough, after listening to Mama Qi's words, the old lady sneered, "Sure enough, they can't be put on the stage." Sister Lan asked the house doctor to treat her, and then asked her to copy the book with her mother.
As for Sister Yu, their family is keeping filial piety, so they don't have to go out and walk around if they have nothing to do, she and his brother are also waiting for the filial piety period to go to school, after all, filial piety must be sincere.
Sister Zhu was wronged, and Sister Lan was fined for half a year regardless of etiquette, and she gave Sister Zhu as compensation. "Mama Qi should be, go down and order.
The two children don't have much money for half a year, but there is a lot of meaning in it, and the face of the second room is trampled underfoot.
Over the years, the officials of the second room have done a good job, but the Hou Ye has not been allowed to reuse, although the third room has a good reputation, but has no real power, so even the old lady has endured the second room, which is also the reason why the Zhou family dares to often be wrong with the Zhang family, so now the old lady does this so that the subordinates of the Hou Mansion have a lot of private discussions.
