"Hearing what Niangniang said, concubines and fools should also be at ease."

As soon as Mei Niang's words fell, before Ruian Wenniang could say anything, a soft female voice came from the door of the hall.

Mei Niang was stunned, and immediately turned around, but she happened to see Mrs. Zhao Guo with a relieved smile, slowly walked into it, and saluted herself.

Mei Niang nodded, and was about to return the gift according to the old habits, but was hurriedly helped up by Mrs. Zhao Guo and said:

"Mother, don't ......

Now Niangniang is the head of the nine concubines, the honor of Zhaoyi, and the prince and prince are by her side......

The dignity of status, according to the etiquette system, the concubines should pay this tribute to the mother. ”

Mei Niang smiled faintly and said:

"Madame's words are not good.

Although the palace is now indeed sealed and a concubine has been established, in the end, it is still a side room, and as a junior, this ceremony should be done. ”

After speaking, she still wanted to salute, but Mrs. Zhao Guo insisted on supporting her, did not teach her to bow, and said with a sincere face:

"Niangniang, don't you really understand the concubine's thoughts?

Although the concubine is presumptuous with the words of etiquette, it is actually ......

Actually......"

She couldn't go on, and she couldn't say any more:

What the eldest grandson Wuji did to the Wu family back then was really a loss of virtue.

This is also the reason why the eldest grandson Wuji told her to keep her posture low before her trip.

Seeing this, Mei Niang smiled lightly, and on her cheeks like peach blossoms in spring, she showed a smile as light as a spring breeze before saying:

"Uncle Yuan's thoughts, nephew understands, how can the people around nephew not understand?

As for the old days......

Although it was really unintentional, what Fang Bengong said was not a lie.

I also ask Uncle Yuan to convey this intention to Uncle Yuan after she turns around. ”

Mrs. Zhao Guo's body condensed slightly, looking at Mei Niang's gaze, it also changed, and only after a while did she nod lightly and said:

"Sure enough......

Don't hide it from the mother, the fool often says, if it is not the mother, it ......"

She paused and said softly after a while:

"If it weren't for the legacy of those old things, who would sit in the back seat today, but there are two theories!"

Mei Niang smiled faintly, didn't say anything, just did enough courtesy, and stretched out her hand to invite Mrs. Zhao Guo to take a seat.

On one side, Ruian and Wen Niang saw this, one went to abandon Mei Niang and Mrs. Zhao Guo's attendants, and the other went to prepare refreshments and did their own things.

Seeing that she retreated left and right, Mei Niang said:

"I don't know what is the important matter for Aunt Yuan to see the palace today?"

Seeing that she was outspoken, Mrs. Zhao Guo liked it in her heart, and nodded:

"There is indeed a difficult matter, and I ask the mother to show it."

Mei Niang remained silent and said softly:

"But there are things that this palace can do, and I ask Uncle Yuan to be annoying and do it wholeheartedly."

Mrs. Zhao Guo was overjoyed, nodded and said:

"That's right.

Recently, there have been some thieves in the mansion, and they were taken down, and the fool was angry because of the troubles and miscellaneous affairs of the court for several days, and the anger was inevitably greater, so he punished the guards in the mansion and locked up the thief in one place......

Now that I calm down and think about it, I regret that I acted too much and didn't know how to deal with it......

I have heard that Niangniang is clever, so I came to ask for advice on the best of both worlds. ”

Mei Niang raised her eyebrows:

"The best of both worlds?

Why do you want to have it both ways?

If, as Madame said, there are thieves entering and leaving a heavy mansion like Taiwei's Mansion, it is really the duty of the guards, and it is natural to punish one or two.

Why do you still need a two-pronged approach?

Could it be that Uncle Yuan thinks that these people should not be punished? ”

Mrs. Zhao Guo looked at Mei Niang and said with a smile:

"Niangniang, as Niangniang said, the matter is serious, and the responsibility of punishing the guards for failing to guard the house should be done.

It's just that the fool was really angry at that time, so he punished all the guards who were on duty that day, day and night, regardless of duty.

But in the final analysis, it is those who are on duty at night who are not effective in guarding the house, and the guards who are in charge during the day all go to change their duties to rest as soon as night......

Later, when it was investigated, the thief himself confessed that he had entered the palace while he had neglected the guard at night......

So speaking of which, those daily guards are really wronged. ”

Mei Niang nodded and said suddenly:

"I see.

So Uncle Yuan also wants to be able to make up for it somewhat, right? ”

Mrs. Zhao Guo nodded and said:

"Exactly.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that things will be unfair, and these guards are really pitiful.

However, in the end, the fool is arrogant, and the guards on duty these days should not be in the wrong, and the night guards who should not punish those who commit crimes in the fool's hands speak for those who commit crimes for their own selfishness......

So they were punished together......

At the moment, I regret it, but I am worried that once I admit it together, it will further encourage the thoughts of those lazy and ill-intentioned night guards......"

Mei Niang nodded and said:

"This family affair in the house is really difficult to handle......

She lowered her head and groaned slightly, and then smiled in embarrassment for a while:

"Alas, it really made Mrs. laugh, Mrs. Meng is so loving and valued, but at the moment, this palace really can't think of any good way......

If not, today, Mei Niang should go back and think about it, or ask the Lord for a lesson or two, and then ......

Tomorrow, I will ask the father-in-law De'an next to Jiro to talk back to his wife......

What do you think? ”

Mrs. Zhao Guo was stunned when she heard this, seemed to be a little disappointed, and nodded with some relief:

"The mother acted well, and it was really thoughtful......

Since Niangniang has said it now, it is natural to rely on Niangniang's punishment......"

She gave a long salute and walked to several sides.
