Chapter 126: Lessons
Zhuo Shi touched his chin, thought for a long time before nodding, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, win back Jiang Xiu's heart first, and talk about the rest later." “
Seeing that Zhuo followed her advice, Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, and then hesitated for a moment before speaking to persuade her: "Madam, the slave knows that you are dissatisfied with the young master's concubine, but the young master is the son of the Hou Mansion, you see which prince of the Hou Mansion does not accept concubines, you just turn a blind eye and forget it, maybe the young master will feel that you are broad-minded and more attentive to you!" ”
Zhuo's family didn't know what Yulan meant, but as soon as Jiang Xiu took a concubine, her heart would be soaked with vinegar, making her so sour that she just wanted to drive these concubines out of the palace, or teach them a hard lesson, so that they could never seduce their husbands again.
Although she clearly understood it in her heart, she couldn't control herself, so she could only let herself attack those concubines.
As if knowing what the Zhuo clan was thinking, Yulan said tentatively: "Actually, the more you stop it, I'm afraid the young master will take a concubine." You might as well pick some concubines with good character and take them for your own use, and as for those who are guilty, you can get rid of them. ”
Zhuo thought about it carefully and felt that what Yulan said was indeed reasonable. Jiang Xiu is a person who does not allow anyone to refute his authority, if he blocks him more, he will have to work against himself, maybe he accepted Cui Ping as a concubine before because of his constant obstruction, so he insisted on going his own way, right?
Rather than blocking it more and Jiang Xiu rebellious, it is better to ignore it at all and let Jiang Xiu take concubines, but it is really uncomfortable to see him taking concubines room after room.
Yulan saw the entanglement on Zhuo's face, so she persuaded her: "The slave knows that the lady doesn't want to do this, but the status of the young lady of the Hou Mansion is superior, if she continues to stalemate with the young master like this, I am afraid that the status of the young lady will not be guaranteed in the future." ”
Thinking that he would be taken out of the Hou Mansion, Zhuo immediately became nervous. If she left the Hou Mansion and was still divorced, then what family would be willing to marry her into the door? Not to mention a wealthy family, even ordinary ordinary small families are reluctant to marry her.
She nodded hurriedly and said, "What you said is reasonable, compared to the status of the young lady, these concubines are nothing." "In the future, she will turn a blind eye to Jiang Xiu's concubine, as long as it does not threaten her status, she can endure it, and the most important thing now is her own status.
Yulan smiled and catered to her, and then stepped forward to hold Zhuo's hand and comforted: "For the sake of the young lady's status, you still have to be more forbearing!" ”
Zhuo Shi let go of the hand that was pinching the flower in front of him, put his hand on her hand, sighed and said, "It's really hard to be a young lady of the Hou Mansion. "If she can choose again now, she may not necessarily choose to marry Jiang Xiu, maybe she will choose an ordinary family.
Seeing Zhuo's frustrated face, Yulan thought that she was sad because of today's incident, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "Madame, look away!" Whose wife is not like that? Even the eldest lady who married into King Yan's Mansion would inevitably be troubled by these things. ”
"Really?" Zhuo Shi responded casually, but he didn't feel that Jiang Aoxue needed to deal with these things, judging from the situation when she went to the palace before, everyone in the palace respected this princess, although King Yan was a thunderous figure, but listening to the people between Wanyun and the market, he loved Jiang Aoxue very much.
Why is Jiang Aoxue so good at being a woman? Is it really a matter of appearance? Why is God so unfair to her?
Yulan didn't understand what she meant by this sentence, and she asked cautiously, "Madam, are we going back now?" ”
After her reminder, Zhuo Shi felt that her stomach was a little hungry, she nodded, and said as she walked in the direction of her yard, "We should also go back to eat." ”
Magnolia nodded hurriedly and followed her footsteps. Less than a quarter of an hour later, the two of them returned to their courtyard, and Zhuo sat back at the table, motioning for Yulan to put out the food in the box.
Yulan hesitated for a long time, hesitated and said, "Madam, why don't you take the food to the small kitchen and heat it up!" I'm afraid this meal is already a little cold. ”
Zhuo Shi waved his hand and said, "Just eat a little bit, do you think I am so angry that I can still eat?" ”
Seeing Zhuo's determined expression, Yulan didn't insist anymore, just nodded, took out the stacks of side dishes from the food box, and placed them in front of Zhuo's family, and then served a bowl of porridge for Zhuo's family, and placed the golden pancakes in front of her.
Zhuo Shi casually scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it into his mouth casually, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he raised his head and ordered, "You go and see what happened to that slut in Cuiping?" ”
Yulan looked at Zhuo Shi with some confusion, not knowing why she suddenly thought of Cuiping. Zhuo Shi looked at the look on her face and explained: "I was angry with the young master today, so naturally I want to repay her, if it weren't for her appearance, the relationship between me and the master would not have deteriorated to this point." ”
Yulan immediately understood what Zhuo meant, she hurriedly answered, turned around and left, and walked towards the firewood room where Cuiping was closed.
Cui Ping was sleeping deeply at the moment, and only when she was asleep could she forget the cold and malice. Although there was sunlight pouring in from the window in this small firewood room, this little sunlight could not warm her body at all, and she was still shivering and squatting in the corner.
Just as she was immersed in her sleep, the door of the firewood room was suddenly pushed open by force, and the door slammed into the wall on one side, making a loud noise, which made Cui Ping wake up suddenly.
She opened a pair of red and swollen eyes, and looked towards the door of the firewood room in a daze, but because the person who came was facing away from the sun, she couldn't see her appearance clearly.
But no matter who it is, the people who can come here must be Zhuo's people. The people of the Zhuo clan will not come to see them for no reason, they must have followed the orders of the Zhuo clan, and they must have come to find trouble for themselves.
Thinking of this, Cui Ping couldn't help but sober up a lot, she looked at the visitor vigilantly, for fear that the person who came would drag her out directly, and be beaten by Zhuo's grandmother again, and now her body is still hurting everywhere, and she really can't bear it anymore.
Yulan saw Cuiping shrinking in the corner at a glance, she sneered, and said sarcastically: "I don't know if Aunt Cuiping sleeps well in this small firewood room?" I thought that Aunt Cuiping's fine skin and tender meat would not be used to sleeping in this firewood room, but I didn't expect you to adapt very well! ”
After saying this, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said: "Look at my memory, Aunt Cuiping herself is from a maid, so she is naturally not a person with fine skin and tender meat, and this firewood room can naturally sleep." Although she said sorry words, Yulan's face was not apologetic at all, but obvious ridicule.
As soon as she spoke, Cui Ping knew that she was Magnolia. Hearing that a maid in Yulan dared to sarcastically mock her, Cui Ping didn't care that she was still in Zhuo's hands, sneered, looked at her and said, "Who else should I be, it turned out to be Yulan." It's just that others can be forgiven for saying these words, you are also a maid, and you are not a person with fine skin and tender meat! ”
Yulan's face twitched for a moment, and the smile on the corner of her mouth quickly disappeared, she naturally knew that Cuiping was laughing at her for being a maid all her life.
She raised her feet and walked into the firewood room, and while walking towards Cuiping, she said with a straight face: "Although I am a maid, I don't do anything to sell my body. Unlike you, the young lady is not thin on you, but you climbed into the young master's bed for money and turned your back on the master, which is simply despised by the world, what face do you have to compare yourself with me? ”
Hearing her words, Cui Ping retorted disappreciatively: "Obviously, the woman of the Zhuo family is too arrogant and domineering, and that law says that the young master can't take a concubine?" Why did I turn my back on my master when I became the young master's concubine? If she Zhuo was sensible, she should take the initiative to take a concubine for the young master. ”
"Mess around!" Yulan scolded, she had already walked in front of Yulan, stretched out her foot and kicked Cui Ping who was still sitting on the ground with her toes, and said in disgust: "What are you still sitting on the ground?" I've tolerated you once, do you want me to tolerate it a second time? Hurry up and follow me to meet the young lady. ”
"I'm not going, do you think I'm a fool? If I go to see her now, then there is only one way to die, and she will not let me go. Cui Ping sat on the ground with a calm face, stared at Yulan's toes, and said viciously.
Obviously, yesterday, she was still a high-ranking master, why did she become a prisoner after only one day, even the maid dared to do something to herself, and she was not afraid of her at all.
Seeing that she was still insisting on sitting on the ground and not moving, Yulan's face became even more ugly, and she scolded in a vicious tone: "Do you still think that you are a noble master? Wake up! Your current identity is not as good as a maid, who are you still putting up music here for? While I'm still willing to talk to you, hurry up, or you'll wait for me to do it!" ”
As if she hadn't heard her words, Cui Ping still sat on the ground with her head down, not moving, and had no intention of getting up.
Yulan laughed angrily, and didn't talk nonsense to her anymore, but directly rolled up her sleeve, pinched Cuiping's arm hard, and dragged her up.
Although Cuiping was born as a maid, but these days she is pampered, her body is not as good as before, and Yulan is used to doing rough work, and her strength is not ordinary, so she directly picked up Cuiping.
