Hearing that the second wife sent someone over, Shen Jue was quite surprised and called directly.

Seeing that it was this mother-in-law, Shen Jue didn't hold it up, got up and said, "Mother Mao." ”

Mao's mother is a servant of the Shen family, and her husband Mao Kui is the steward of the second master's side. The sons and sons-in-law of the two of them are now used as the second master in Nanchang.

Mao's mother was polite, curts-toe at Shen Jue first, and then said, "Third brother, Mrs. asked the third brother to come over and talk." ”

Shen Jue glanced at the sky outside and couldn't help frowning.

It's already dark outside, and it's still snowing heavily, why is the second wife looking for him at this time?

Shen Jue's maid Chun Yu has always been clever, and when she saw that something was wrong, she had already taken her purse out, and while helping Mao's mother, she stuffed Mao's mother's hand, and asked in a "low voice": "It's so late and bothering my mother to come over, isn't it that the second wife has something to tell the third brother?" The third brother has just finished bathing, and it is still cold outside, what is the matter? ”

A servant inquired about the master's matter, but the young master next to him looked at it, and it was not Mao's turn to discipline him.

Mao's mother was also afraid that the second wife would make trouble, so she also "whispered": "Someone got maggots in front of his wife, saying that the third brother was frolicking and eating, and his wife was annoyed...... I'm afraid that there is some misunderstanding in this, why don't you go to the second brother and say ......?"

Although the latter sentence was said to the spring parrot, it was actually Shen Jue who asked.

Shen Jue's face turned red, and he said that he was not ashamed or ashamed.

At noon today, Shen Rui didn't give him wine to eat at first, but he was so bad that he asked someone to add a wine glass to him.

Shen Jue felt sad in his heart, and deliberately ate a few more cups to get himself drunk. hot-headed, he didn't expect to keep filial piety at all, but now it seems that he is going to cause trouble for Shen Rui.

With the temper of the second wife, not only will he teach him a lesson, but I am afraid that if he wants to use the topic to play, even Shen Rui will fall behind.

In the year and a half since she became the heir of the second room, although Shen Jue has not gotten along much with Qiao's family, she has also found that she is hostile to Xiao Changfang, contemptuous of Xiao Sanfang, and is not close to anyone.

"Did anyone see me eating?" Shen Jue said with a cold face.

The noon banquet was set up in Jiuruju, and the only people who could enter the house to serve were Liu Ya and Chunyan. Shen Jue was drunk at the time, but he went directly to Shen Rui's bedroom to rest, and did not come out, Shen Jue didn't believe that gossip would spread outside

Mao's mother said: "I heard that I saw the third brother playing in the garden, but it was probably a misunderstanding. The second brother sent someone to ask for the champion red from the kitchen, which is known from top to bottom......"

The others, of course, only the parties Shen Jue and Shen Rui themselves know the Tao.

Shen Jue is here at an old age, and being called out by his cousin to accompany guests does not involve unfilial piety, and it is inappropriate to drink heavily during filial piety.

Listening to Mao's mother's words, Shen Jue's eyes blinked, and he felt relieved.

If it weren't for Shen Rui's invitation today, he would willingly confess his guilt in front of his second wife, and he would be willing to accept any punishment, after all, it was his negligence, forgetting that he still had a small filial piety on his body, and alcoholism was indeed a loss of filial piety; But when it comes to Shen Rui, Shen Jue can't admit this mistake.

He didn't shy away from Mao's mother, he lowered his head and sniffed his body, because he had just bathed, the smell of wine on his body had already dissipated.

Shen Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little guilty in his heart.

Why don't you have a long memory? As soon as the eldest aunt warned herself to be filial to her elders, she completely forgot about it. I didn't say anything about my willfulness, but I even took my brother with me.

"Since the wife summons, let's go." Shen Jue said.

Seeing this, the spring parrot hurriedly came out with a hooded cloak, and said with a little worry: "The third brother's hair is still wet...

Shen Jue took it and said, "It's okay, it's just a few steps." ”

Having said that, when he came out of the warm spring-like room, Shen Jue couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing this, Mao's mother hurriedly sped up.

The north wind whistled the snowflakes, and in the cold and silent night, the sound of "clicking" footsteps became more and more distinct.

As soon as Mao's mother and Shen Jue entered the southwest courtyard, Qiao's heard the movement outside, sat up straight, and showed a bit of solemnity on his face.

This mother and son are not close to each other, and they have always been polite and polite to each other.

Shen Jue stood under the corridor, and Mao's mother entered the house.

A maid stepped forward and took the lantern from Mao's mother's hand.

Mao's mother didn't care about the snow falling on her body, so she bowed down and said, "Madam, the third brother is here, waiting outside." ”

Qiao Shi was not in a hurry to call in, and frowned: "You can take a closer look, can he eat and drink?" ”

Mao's mother said: "Xu is misunderstood, the old slave looks at the third brother and doesn't look like he has eaten wine......"

Qiao's expression slowed slightly, and then he snorted coldly: "If it's the wine you eat at noon, you should be almost awake......

Mao's mother is not good to answer again.

Qiao Shi fiddled with his fingers, only to feel that his complexion was not good these days, and even his slender and white fingers were not pleasing to the eye.

"Even if he didn't eat and drink, he didn't wronged him for having fun and frolicking, right?" Qiao said nonchalantly.

Seeing that she hadn't called anyone in, Mao's mother was worried, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you ask the third brother to come in and scold him?" ”

It was cold and windy outside, and there were snowflakes, so it was not good for Shen Jue to stay outside for a long time when he just bathed.

When Qiao Shi heard this, his face was a little disgusted.

She originally had a heart fire and wanted to keep Shen Jue and scold her; But this fire in her heart came and went away quickly, and she was too lazy to scold at this time.

And she has always been conceited and beautiful, and she has always avoided men, even if Shen Jue is only a teenager and her heir, but she also has a suspicion of melon fields and plums in her heart, and she doesn't want Shen Jue to enter the house.

If Shen Jue was let go back like this, Qiao's would not be reconciled.

She fiddled with her fingers, thinking about the year she had been out of Beijing.

If Shen Jue's heir had the slightest filial piety, he would not let the second master treat her like that. She didn't want to think about it, the husband is the wife, the father is the son, how can Shen Jue be the master of the second master?

It's just anger.

Mao's mother stood there, anxious, but she didn't dare to say more.

Although entrusted by the second master, after returning to the capital, the eldest lady also entrusted the second room to their husband and wife, but the two of them are slaves and not masters.

The good things that should be said are that Shen Jue has already said them, and if she is verbose, Qiao's will not allow her.

After about a cup of tea, Qiao Shi seemed to remember that Shen Jue was still waiting outside, raised his head and said, "Go and ask him on my behalf, do you know that it is wrong, should I punish him?" ”

Mao's mother answered and hurriedly turned around and came out.

The wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier, and the lanterns under the porch were blown to and fro.

Although Shen Jue was standing under the porch, he felt that the cold wind was biting.

Mao's mother looked at Shen Jue standing in the wind and snow, her face was full of worry, but she could only raise her voice and say: "Mrs. asked the third brother, do you know that it is wrong, should the wife punish the third brother?" ”

Shen Jue was stunned for a moment when she saw Mao's mother pulling her throat, and then saw Mao's mother raise her finger and point to the main room.

Shen Jue also raised his voice and said: "The child knows that he is wrong, since his wife is not in good health, she should have come to serve the sick, so she should not run to the garden to see her cousin and cousin, and ask her to punish her." ”

Seeing Shen Jue's little face turned blue, Mao's mother sighed in her heart, and picked up the curtain to enter the house again

Through the door and window, Qiao had already heard Shen Jue's answer, but he was not satisfied.

Obviously, Shen Rui made a mistake in the rules and pulled his filial cousin out of the house to accompany the guests, but at this time, it was all Shen Jue's own fault, and he didn't get along with Shen Rui.

Thinking that the Xu family regarded Shen Rui as a treasure, and valued it a little more than when Brother Luo was there, Qiao's heart was full of resentment.

"Since you know that you are wrong, just kneel outside for an hour to clear your mind and think about what it is to be a son of man" Qiao Shi heard Shen Jue's maintenance of Shen Rui, and said coldly.

When Mao's mother heard this, her face changed, and she hurriedly said: "Madam, it's snowing outside, and the third brother is just Mu before he comes over."

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Qiao: "What? Now my wife in this house doesn't talk much? Or do you think you can control my wife because you boast that you have the orders of the second master? ”

When these heart-wrenching words came out, Mao's mother dared to say anything about it, and she knelt down to plead guilty.

Qiao Shi pointed to the servant next to him and said, "Go outside and spread the word of my party."

The maid next to him was the one who came to Qiao's to complain today, and she was the second-class maid who was left in Beijing to watch the house by the second room.

Now that she was instructed, she walked out on her toes and passed on Qiao's words.

Shen Jue didn't think that Qiao's deliberately embarrassed himself, after all, he was at fault today, and after arriving here, he had a bad attitude because he wanted to extricate Shen Rui from the court.

Kneeling for an hour also made him think about what the responsibility of the heir was.

Thinking like this, Shen Jue let out a "poof" and knelt honestly.

The maid saw that the yard was white, and Shen Jue also had a lot of snowflakes on her, and she hesitated, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart.

She stammered with the second wife like this, just to be promoted to the next level, and it would be great if she could be sent to Shen Rui's courtyard by her wife.

Because Shen Rui's Jiuruju has few maids, Shen Jue is unwilling to ask for more servants, but the two young masters are getting older, and they always have to add more people to serve.

When he turned around and went back to the house, he saw Mao's mother who was still kneeling on the ground, so the maid swallowed the words on her lips again, and refused to say more, but said: "Madam, the maid has passed the word, and the third brother is already kneeling." ”

Hearing that Shen Rui was obedient, Qiao's only felt that the fire in his heart had disappeared, but he still refused to tell Mao's mother to get up.

In the previous days, she was sad that her mother died, and she had no intention of worrying about this old slave, and she didn't want to indulge it in the future......

In the courtyard of the main courtyard, Hongyun tightened his clothes, pulled the spring parrot into the wing, and said, "Why did you come here at this time?" But what's the matter with the third brother? ”

Chun Yu put down the lantern and said with a worried face: "The second wife just asked Mao's mother to call the third brother over, listening to what means that the second wife is annoyed that the third brother goes to the garden to play during the day, and some people say that our third brother eats wine, I am not down-to-earth in my heart, come to find my sister to get an idea, see if I ask my wife to go over and take a look......"

Concerning the second wife and Shen Jue, Hongyun didn't dare to be self-conscious, and said: "The second wife is the mother of the third brother, so what's the problem if you want to teach the third brother a few words?" You're too fussy too, and wait for me, I'll go back to my wife, and see what she says."

Spring Parrot said with gratitude on her face: "Sister Tired......"

Hongyun turned around and walked out of the upper room.

Xu was closing his eyes and recuperating, and when he heard the movement, he raised his head and said, "But the master is back?" ”

Hongyun shook his head and said, "The master hasn't come back yet, it's the spring parrot next to the third brother who is here......"
