Chapter 17: Shot
As soon as he turned into Yinwu Lane, Luo Tingchen, who was riding on a horse, saw his aunt leading a group of family members to meet the door in two columns. This magnificent battle attracted many idlers to watch the excitement on the side.
When the carriage in which Roman and the others were riding approached, they heard the discussion of the people around them, and occasionally heard the servants of the Zhao Mansion answering the words of the idlers in a loud voice.
"With such a big show, what kind of noble person is coming to the Zhao family today?"
"The people in the second master's business will definitely not alarm the Zhao Mansion like this, but the uncle is still in Jinghu, and the ladies went to Zhongling Temple to burn incense, which noble person in the court will come to the door at this time?"
"It was our aunt and grandmother who sent the children here, my aunt and grandmother are so noble, my wife will not come out to greet her, I am afraid that I will make trouble again."
It's not a noble person who can't be provoked, and the atmosphere in the idlers is immediately lively.
"Which aunt? Didn't the eldest sister of your family with her nostrils facing the sky become a sister-in-law in Wanzhao Nunnery, and she didn't interact with you for more than ten years? ”
"What?" The mother-in-law turned white in fright, glared at the man and scolded: "What is a sister-in-law? My aunt and grandmother were cultivating in front of the Buddha! ”
looked at the crowd with a pleading face: "In order to please my aunt and grandmother, my wife and all the servants of the house have been waiting at the door for more than half an hour." You chew on the root of your tongue, and the account is all on my wife. ”
"Understood, understood......"
Although the idlers standing in the middle of the road understood, they talked more enthusiastically.
Roland and the others listened to their mother being talked about as a joke on the street, their faces were full of anger, and their little fists were hard and hard.
Roman lifted the curtain and glanced out, and instructed Zhou Hong: "My little aunt was born in the dart game, and she is used to walking on the rivers and lakes. Although Lan'er and I haven't reached each other yet, it's not good to be watched like this. You ask the eldest cousin to ask for a few hats from the little uncle, and we will put on the hats and then go down to greet the little aunt. ”
As soon as Zhou Hong saw Roman's eyes, he understood her intentions. After thinking about the rhetoric, he walked away with confidence.
Roman broke his sister's small fist a little bit: "Lan'er, don't be angry." We want to change everyone's perception of us with our words and deeds. Not only is it useless to be angry, but it will also mess up our proportions. They want to see our jokes, they want us to make a fool of us, we don't, and they are angry with them. ”
"But they say that...... mother's mother"
Whether they are right or not, it shows that the mother is that image in their hearts. We can't just be angry, we have to tell them: they are wrong, my mother is not vicious and difficult, and she is not bullying. The Zhao family is by no means a family that can be deceived if the mother wants to. ”
Roland wanted to ask what to do, but Roman patted his sister's hand: "Don't worry, my sister will show you." ”
As he spoke, Roman lifted the curtain a little and motioned for her to look in the direction of Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong walked straight to Zhao Chongwen, who was riding a horse in front, and said loudly: "I thought that we would get out of the car after entering the second gate, but we didn't prepare a hat and an oil umbrella. Now that the second wife is at the door, our young lady has no reason not to come down and kowtow, and ask the eldest prince to bother to take two hats for our young lady. ”
As soon as he said the hat, Zhao Chongwen's face turned red. It's really embarrassing for my aunt to show her face like this.
He hurriedly sent someone to the hat, and he arched his hands again, and the chicken pecked the rice in the direction of Luo Tingchen and Roman: "Auntie is lively, she must have been at home and couldn't wait, so she came out." There are no worries, and the younger brothers and sisters forgive, and forgive. ”
When the idler heard these words, he also found a new angle: It is true that the eldest sister is powerful, but you dare to force other people's daughters to show up, can you be a fuel-efficient lamp?
I thought again: It is worthy of being the daughter raised by Bofu, and she is really sensible and polite. I didn't mess up when I was at the door, I put on a hat and got out of the car to salute, I didn't grieve myself and respected my elders, which was very good.
The family with a daughter under his knees, looking at Mrs. Zhao's eyes was still full of anger, and shouted at her: "Your Zhao family, it was Shi Xin who pulled his daughter's family out for people to watch; Or are you vicious and have a bad reputation? When you stood on the street for half an hour, and you didn't even wear a hat, it seems that you are not ashamed. ”
Second Mrs. Zhao blushed with anger at first, and then turned pale in an instant: she just wanted everyone to scold Zhao Pingniang, so as to embarrass Roman and them. Now this momentum, I am afraid that it will damage the Zhao family's family style and reputation.
She has a straight temperament and has not used trickery to calculate people. I didn't think it would be like this, but what should I do?
She was at a loss, but Roman got out of the carriage with a handkerchief covering his face. She walked straight to the eldest lady who scolded the second wife and gave her a proper salute.
The woman pulled Roman up, and said angrily: "Miss, don't be afraid, that poisonous woman wants to make you ugly, we are like a mirror in our hearts." You hurry back with your sister and ask your mother to come to her for justice. ”
"Roman, thank you for your kindness, but my aunt misunderstood and scolded my little aunt wrong." She Shi Ran walked up to the frightened little aunt, grabbed her arm affectionately and said to everyone: "We haven't seen my little aunt for almost ten years, and my aunt can't wait in the house, so she stands at the door and waits." ”
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Roman smiled and his crooked eyes became serious: "We all know that we live in Wanzhaoyuan, and if we calculate the distance, we will know that it takes three hours to go back and forth." My aunt asked my eldest cousin to pick us up, and we had to get up at the end of the year, and the eldest cousin was about to leave at the beginning of the year. If it weren't for us, who would have been able to do this? ”
The onlookers thought about it and roughly agreed with this statement: There are many ways to clean up people, who wants to toss themselves and their children in the middle of the night?
"When a family lives in one place, it is inevitable that they will not kowtow. If you bump it, it will definitely hurt, and it will definitely hurt. But in the end, it is flesh and blood, who can make a bad reputation and take someone's life as soon as they make a move? ”
Roman's tone was slow but firm, she held her aunt's hand, and the guards generally stood beside her: "Maybe there is really that rotten heart and lungs who don't think about flesh and blood, but my little aunt is not that kind of person." Although we haven't seen each other for ten years, we can receive gifts from our aunt every New Year's Day. My brother-in-law's mother has a straight temperament, and she grew up in the dart chief, and it is normal to wait at the door in a hurry, but I didn't expect to prepare a hat, which is also normal. ”
Second Mrs. Zhao looked at Roman beside her, and her nose became sour: This girl, can't you see that I did it on purpose? She didn't treat them well at all, and the gifts that were sent on behalf of the second room were not prepared by her, but she also stopped them from being sent.
"Look at the one who wronged my little aunt."
Roman pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, turned to look at everyone again, and said, "The three of them become tigers, and all of them are golden." When it comes to other people's family style and reputation, I hope everyone will be merciful, don't talk nonsense or spread it nonsense. The Zhao family is an official family that cherishes its reputation, and it is unreasonable to swallow it when it is splashed with dirty water. ”
The Zhao family is powerful, and it has always been a good neighbor. Idlers chew their tongues only to relieve their boredom, and no one wants to get into trouble. What's more, people are holding hands and kissing a family; What are they tending to be wrong?
Everyone felt embarrassed and broke up with haha.
As soon as the person at the door left, the second lady shook off Roman's hand, looked at Roman deeply, turned around and ran in.
Roman smiled at the maids around him, and waited for the people to take the hat and come over, before letting his sister put on the hat and get out of the car.
When everyone scolded, Zhao Chongwen was also flustered and didn't know how to end. Seeing that everyone shouted 'misunderstanding' and dispersed, he was relieved.
He thanked Roman gratefully: "Chongwen thanked his sister, thank ......"
"We are a family, one is prosperous, and one is lost." Roman held Zhao Chongwen and still made a gesture, and the smile on his face shone with sincerity: "As soon as my cousin thanked me again and again, he treated me as an outsider." ”
"Sister's good, cousin wrote it down."
Zhao Chongwen sincerely led Roman and the others into the house, and called his younger brothers and sisters to come and meet everyone. was busy, Mama Zhang brought someone over to take over: "The eldest prince will take Young Master Luo to be naughty, the slaves and maids will greet the young lady, and keep it so that the young lady can play comfortably." ”
Mama Zhang is the confidant of the second aunt, and Zhao Chongwen is afraid that the aunt will not give up, and she will embarrass the two younger sisters, so she hesitates and refuses to leave.
"You readers are very boring, so go and write your own articles. Let's go with Mama to eat delicious food. Roman pushed his brother, and he took his sister and followed Mama Zhang.
After what happened just now, Roland's little face was full of red and fluttering brilliance, she took her sister's hand, turned around and gave her brother a reassuring smile.
The main hall is richly arranged, and even the ornaments on the small corners of the house are all famous products of the previous dynasty.
Roman is the one who has been the queen mother, and nothing can shine in her eyes. Roland was only seven years old, and he followed him to the evening garden when he was born. When Mrs. Luo arrived at the evening garden, she concentrated on worshipping the Buddha, and although the family was rich and noble, she was not allowed to be luxurious.
As soon as Roland entered the house, he was dazzled by the objects that filled the room.
"If you like to look at it, look carefully, it's okay to be generous." Roman squeezed his sister's hand and smiled warmly: "I have the finger in the photo to show my sister, and my sister will buy it for you when I go back." ”
Roland generously went to see them one by one, and when he met something he really liked, he touched it. Her eyes were dark and bright, full of love and joy, but there was no greed alone.
"Miss Cousin has something she likes, just say that the slave maid will pack it back for Miss." She smiled kindly and amiably, but her heart was full of disdain: "A seven-year-old girl who has never seen the world has to empty the house? The eldest lady said that they were so good, and when she saw this empty house, how could she see it? ”
Roland looked away from the exquisite White Crystal Palace ornaments, and said to Mama Zhang with a pure and dazzling smile: "These things are very good, very beautiful." But they belong to my aunt, I can just look at them, I don't want them. ”
"Your aunt's is all yours, you're welcome." Mama Zhang smiled dotingly at Roland, and raised her voice and called someone to come in and move things: "Miss Biao has seen and praised everything that is wrapped, and none of them are allowed to be left behind." ”
Roland was a little frightened, and hurriedly grabbed Mama Zhang, and said hurriedly: "Mama, don't move, I really don't want to." ”
"Miss Cousin will accept it if she likes it, and she will not pretend to excuse herself." Mama Zhang said perfunctorily, still directing the maid to pack: they are all girls who have not reached the end of the film, they are generous, I don't believe that they can fix their hearts.
Roman took his sister's hand, stood in front of Mama Zhang with a smile and said, "Lan'er said she didn't want it, she just took a look." Did Mama not hear my sister's words, or did she deliberately want to play with right and wrong, stain our greedy nature, and empty the main hall of the Zhao family as soon as we entered the door? ”
She looked at Mama Zhang, and the smile in her eyes gradually became cold: "Do you want to provoke the Luo and Zhao families to resent, so that they can break off the relationship and never communicate again?" ”
There was a smile in her eyes, and there was no cruelty in her soft tone. But Mama Zhang sighed in her heart, standing in front of Roman, so cramped that she didn't know how to explain.
It happened that a maid took off the crystal palace ornaments on the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and packed them in front of Roman. Roman raised his eyebrows at Mama Zhang: "Mama is bullying us young and deliberately provoking?" ”
