Chapter 34: The Third Lady's Domineering Posture
In this way, two more days passed, Qinghe Township was exceptionally quiet, and the biggest thing that happened was the big fat boy born to the third aunt's family at the entrance of the village.
Fan Ming's heart gradually became a little unsettled.
If it goes on like this, maybe things will be so yellow, and finally on the third day, things finally have a new development, at this moment Fan Ming happened to be telling the third lady in Cao's mansion, only to hear a noisy sound outside, accompanied by the miserable cry of a woman.
The third lady was a little in a low mood in the past two days, and there was always a faint solemnity between her eyebrows, and after hearing this noise, she couldn't help frowning, and said with a little displeasure: "Xiangxue, go outside and see what's going on." ”
Xiangxue bowed slightly, "Yes, madam." ”
Just as he was about to go out, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and in an instant, a small guy ran out of the door, panting and shouting, "Madam, it's not good, something happened." ”
The third lady's face sank, and she scolded: "What's the panic, what's wrong, tell me clearly." ”
The little servant swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, forcibly calmed himself down, and then spoke: "Madam, there are many people who have shouted grievances outside, saying that they want to sue the head of the Cao family for bullying men and women, and in the fish and meat township, if you don't give them the master, Madame, they will crash to death on the stone lion in front of our house." ”
Hearing this, Fan Ming, who was sitting on the side, was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that his plan to merge and separate himself was successful, and Chen Siliang finally couldn't help but do it.
After listening to the little girl's words, the third lady's bright Danfeng eyes suddenly lit up, and the expression on her face was slightly surprised, "Are they going to sue the head of the Cao household?" ”
The little guy nodded, "Well, they all explicitly refer to the head of the Cao family, and they have blood books as a reference." ”
The third lady fell silent and muttered to herself: "Why did they shout grievances with me, I am not a yamen here!" ”
No one answered this question, but she heard the noise outside getting louder and louder, and it seemed to have extended to the house, the third lady's brows furrowed more and more, and she raised her head and said to the little maid: "Go and call the second housekeeper over to see what happened outside." ”
The little guy ran out quickly, and after a while, a slightly chubby middle-aged man ran in, covered with sweat, and even his long shirt was soaked, Fan Ming knew that this was Fu Shen, the second housekeeper of Cao Mansion.
Fu Shen ran to the door and stopped, kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, and arched his hand with the heat of his body, "Madam, you called me." ”
The third lady's face was a little cold, "What's going on outside, why is it getting more and more chaotic." ”
Fu Shen took a breath and replied cautiously: "Madam, those Diao people outside are becoming more and more disagreeable, and they still want to rush into the mansion. ”
Hearing this, the third lady slapped the coffee table suddenly, stood up, glared at Fu Shen and scolded angrily: "Bastard, who told you to do it?" ”
was suddenly scolded by the third lady, Fu Shen was stunned, he didn't realize that he had done something wrong, usually Diao people came to storm the door of the mansion, it was merciful not to break his legs, what was wrong with him letting people drive them away?
Seeing that he was still in a daze, the third lady said with a cold face: "Why don't you hurry up and tell them to stop, and in addition, appease the people who are shouting grievances and let them wait in the front hall." ”
Fu Shen, the second housekeeper, obviously hadn't turned a corner yet, but under the pressure of the third lady, he didn't dare to make a sound, and bowed, "Yes, madam, I'll arrange it right away." ”
Seeing Fu Shencheng leave in fear, the expression on the third lady's face was very cold, but the eyes that couldn't stop flashing showed what she was thinking about at the moment, and muttered to herself: "This thing happened a little strangely, who knew my mind so well and took the initiative to hand me a knife, could it be Chen Siliang?" ”
Thinking of this, the third lady couldn't help but shake her head.
Fan Ming's gaze stayed on the face of the third lady and never left, a few days ago, he felt that the third lady was a very attractive woman, especially when he reprimanded people strongly, he couldn't help but think of the empress in the Tang Dynasty.
Perhaps feminism has also begun to sprout in this era!
Thinking of this, Fan Ming couldn't help but smile, after all, a serious woman is the most beautiful, and he admires this type of woman, especially if this is a beautiful woman.
Although his smile quickly retracted, he was still sensitively noticed by the third lady, and couldn't help but think of the way this guy looked at him that day, and couldn't help but feel a burst of shame and anger, and the anger that was already a little suppressed was instantly picked up again, staring at Fan Ming and said: "Fan Ming, what are you laughing at, are you laughing at my incompetence?" ”
Fan Ming didn't expect this woman to turn her face when she said it, and hurriedly stood up, "Don't dare, Madam blames me." ”
The third lady snorted lightly, "Then tell me why you're laughing, if you can't say one, two, three, I'll let someone give you dozens of boards to cure you for the crime of disrespect." ”
Fan Ming took a slight breath, looking at the face of the third lady, he knew that this woman was not joking, his eyes rolled sharply at the moment, and he paused for a few seconds before he spoke: "I'm laughing at those peasants outside who are really stupid, they actually came to Cao's Mansion to shout grievances, don't they know that Cao Huchang is the chief housekeeper of Cao's Mansion, isn't this equivalent to lighting a lamp in a pit......"
The third lady's face softened slightly, and she stared at Fan Ming and said, "You mean that I will protect my own people?" ”
Fan Ming smiled slightly in his heart, what he wanted was this effect, if he could really guide things in the direction he wanted, it would be worth it even if it was dozens of boards, and he nodded at the moment, "It is common for officials to protect each other, since ancient times." ”
The third lady was so excited by these words that her face turned slightly red, and she suddenly flicked her sleeves vigorously, looked at Fan Ming with a cold and arrogant attitude: "Okay, since you say so, I will go to trial today, so that you can see whether Cao Fu is in Qinghe Township or to protect people's livelihood." ”
After speaking, the third lady suddenly turned around and shouted outside: "Go, tell Fu Shen, gather the village elders, I want to see the county master of Xuexue today, and make decisions for the people." ”
Hearing this, Fan Ming finally couldn't help laughing again, and bowed sincerely, "Mrs. can be described as a heroine among women, Xiaosheng has thanked Mrs. for the people of Qinghe Township, I really admire it!" ”
The third lady's eyes flickered, the expression on her face was slightly moved, and she looked at Fan Ming and said, "It turns out that you did it on purpose!" ”
Fan Ming smiled and nodded, "I can provoke Mrs. to come forward and make decisions for the people, even if I am hit by dozens of boards, I am willing." ”
The third lady's face was slightly relieved, but when she thought of the moment that made her angry just now, the third lady suddenly snorted softly, "You have written down these dozens of boards for the time being, and I will settle accounts with you later!" ”
