9. Really ruined the face
In the evening, Mrs. Lou returned home, and sure enough, she called someone to summon Zheng Xian'er to Ning Xuan Hall.
Zheng Xian'er had already prepared, and knelt down honestly as soon as she entered the door.
There was a loud "bang", and Mrs. Lou slammed the tea bowl to the ground in anger.
Zheng Xian'er lowered her head to avoid it, and then calmly puffed up her chest: "Mrs. is angry." β
"Anger? The Lou family's face has made you lose everything, how can you tell me to calm my anger?! Mrs. Lou poked Zheng Xian'er's forehead, trembling with anger.
Zheng Xian'er calmly met her gaze, unhurried: "I didn't do anything wrong today. Those women rely on the old and sell the old, and tell us about our family's affairs, can I just listen honestly? I'm not afraid of listening to a few reprimands, but Mrs., you are a lady who has been ordered by the imperial court, don't you even know how to teach your own daughter-in-law, but you want to ask others to teach you for you? Those women are obviously bullying their wives and have a good temperament, so they want to kick their noses in the face by taking this opportunity! β
Mrs. Lou heard her rude, and wanted to interrupt several times. Helplessly, Zheng Xian'er's voice was clear and bright, and others couldn't interject at all, so she still let her finish a sentence like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
It was easy to wait for her to stop, but Mrs. Lou was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time, so she had to squint her eyes and look at her coldly.
The corners of Zheng Xian'er's naturally smiling lips pursed slightly, looking quite proud.
Mrs. Lou patted the table and said sharply: "According to what you say, you are so rude today, but for the sake of me and the face of the master?" β
"Naturally, yes." Zheng Xian'er's face did not change and said authentically.
Mrs. Lou quickly turned the Buddha beads in her hand, and after a long while, she let out a sneer: "Your mouth is used to reversing black and white!" You clearly made me a joke for them today, and you even have the face to say it's for me! β
Zheng Xian'er blinked her eyes and smiled: "Where did you start with this?" I was born in the market, I have never learned any rules since I was a child, and now I have developed a rude temperament, and it is not the fault of the old lady! Those women can't insist that their wives have taught me badly, right? β
Mrs. Lou thought about it carefully, and sure enough, after Zheng Xian'er left today, everyone scolded her for being an ignorant wild girl, and no one dared to say how the Lou family was.
In this way, although Mrs. Lou knew that Zheng Xian'er was arguing with reason, it was not easy to punish her severely for a while.
Seeing this, Zhu Jinlan was busy laughing and said, "It turns out that the third brother and sister have already been measured in their hearts, can my wife rest assured now?" Now we don't have to worry about offending people, the surnames Zhu and Lou were originally a family, where would there be anything to do about a sentence? Smile and it's over! β
Mrs. Lou woke up like a dream, and hurriedly scolded Zheng Xian'er: "Confused things! Who is the old lady, and that is what you can contradict? If it weren't for your second sister-in-law's sake today, how could the Zhu family spare you! β
"Madame is right. I inherited the favor of my second sister-in-law! Zheng Xian'er smiled, her eyebrows crooked.
Zhu Jinlan hurriedly bowed his head and was humble, and after a few words of comfort on both sides, he finally suppressed Mrs. Lou's anger.
Seeing that the storm seemed to have passed, Zheng Xian'er stood up on her own, bent down and rubbed her knees incessantly.
Mrs. Lou's face, which had just eased a little, was clouded again: "It seems that you should really learn the rules!" β
Zheng Xian'er immediately collapsed when she heard this: "Don't you, right?" When I first entered the house, I had already learned it......"
Mrs. Lou glared at her for a long time, and sneered: "Your words and deeds today, where do you look like you have learned the rules?" I think you're getting more and more frivolous! If you can't remember that you're a widow, you might as well ruin your face and stay in the house in peace! β
Zheng Xian'er was startled, hurriedly stood up straight, and forced a smile: "Don't scare me, madam, this is not for fun!" - Actually, I'm not afraid of becoming an ugly monster, I'm just afraid that I will go to the underworld with a bad face in the future, what if the third master is ugly and doesn't recognize me as his daughter-in-law? β
Zhu Jinlan was also busy persuading: "Mrs. first dissipate her anger, such a big matter should always be discussed with the master." β
"No need," Mrs. Lou sneered, "I still do the affairs of the inner house!" Hong'er has a spirit in the sky, and she will definitely understand my hard work! You will command it for meβ"
