The 117th Wife and Concubine Dispute
Aunt He? How could she provoke the ninth sister-in-law? Is it for the starling?
"Where's Brother Jiu?" Tongyun asked, and the maid replied:
"The ninth master is not in the house, and he has already sent someone to find it. ”
Salashan, who had only seen Fu Heng above the court, knew where he went, "There is a guard selection competition in the palace today, and the ninth master was sent by the emperor to supervise the competition, and it is estimated that he will be busy all day." ”
Brother Jiu is not here, so what can be done?, she still went to see the situation first, and then said, if it is a trivial matter, about the ninth sister-in-law will settle it by herself.
Sarashan wanted to follow, but Tongyun didn't allow it, "What's the matter with your sudden appearance?" The sisters-in-law asked, I can't tell clearly, you better go back!"
She invited someone but was unceremonious, Salashanton felt aggrieved, waved his sleeves and complained, "When I come back to you, I can't even ask for tea!"
When has this been, how can she have the heart to invite him to tea?" "Next time, you have seen it, there is something going on today!"
Hearing this, Sala was overjoyed, "What do you mean...... I'm welcome to come back?"
"Huh?" Tongyun only felt annoyed, she was in a hurry to leave, so she casually perfunctory him, but he actually chewed on this sentence and didn't let go, she had no choice but to accept it, so she could not ask this god to leave!
After sending off Salashan, Tongyun hurried to Dehui Courtyard with the maid.
Saying that the weather was warm today, Fangluo asked the master to go out for a walk, and Yuzhen immediately put on a robe and went to the back garden. The fragrance of plum in the garden is overflowing, and the treasures of plain plum, elegant and chic green calyx plum, blooming quietly, showing their elegance.
Ten thousand flowers dare to come out of the snow, and a tree is the first to spring in the world!
After enjoying the scenery for a while, Yu Zhen felt relaxed and happy, but not long after she came out, she wanted to go to the toilet.
"It's been frequently lately, it's really annoying, so I don't dare to drink more porridge at night, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep!"
Fang Luo smiled and persuaded: "The slave maid heard that most pregnant people are like this, and the child will return to normal after giving birth!"
Alas, it is indeed troublesome to be pregnant, and it is really not easy to have a child!
After returning from the toilet, Yu Zhen wanted to continue to go to the plum grove to wander around, and when he walked to a flower room, he suddenly heard a movement in the north, as if someone was discussing something, and heard his name in a trance, Yu Zhen immediately stopped and signaled Fang Luo to move.
After the master and servant quietly erected the wall, they listened carefully, only to realize that it was Xiao He and the third lady, and they were talking nonsense, guessing whose child it was!
This stupid woman once shook out her past with Fu Qian, Yu Zhen endured it and didn't trouble her, just because it was the truth, she couldn't quibble,
It's just enough to slander her, and now she wants to slander her children, Yu really can't bear it, and she doesn't want to bear it! This gossip, isn't it the first time she has heard it, and she must be punished well!
Yu Zhen, who had made up his mind, no longer dodged, and appeared generously, bypassed the flower room, and walked out,
"If you have something to say, you can ask me directly, or go to Mrs. Tai's to complain, secretly nonsense, I will be aggrieved for you!"
Xiao He, who was behind the right and wrong, did not expect to be arrested, and at the moment, the six gods had no owner, and they were biting their lips and thinking about countermeasures, Yu Zhen actually ordered her to kneel!
Xiao He was startled, unwilling to kneel for Yu Zhen.
The third lady patted her hand, comforted her not to be afraid, and calmly stepped forward to talk against Yu Zhen, "She is now the concubine of the eighth child, how can she be regarded as half a master!
"You must know that the wife is the master, the concubine is the slave, and half the master is just a promotion, in the final analysis, she is just a maid who can sleep with the master! What's more, now she doesn't even have the opportunity to serve the eighth master, and she dares to play music with me?"
In a word, it is easy to poke Xiao He's sore spot! The eighth master really didn't want her to serve, and slept with her in a daze both times, and regarded her as Yu Zhen! She already felt wronged, Yu Zhen still laughed at her like this, humiliated her in public, it was too much, Xiao He, who was unwilling to be ridiculed, sneered, raised his face and said forcefully:
"How can I say it, I am also the person given to the eighth master by Mrs. Tai, when did I serve the eighth master, how many times have I served, how tender the eighth master is to me, do I still have to report to the ninth lady?"
Showing off and boasting to her? Yu Zhen couldn't help but sneer, "I am not interested in knowing how your master treats you, just like people drinking water, they know whether they are warm or cold."
But I will not give up easily when you speculate and slander my child! If you feel that my orders are not working, then let us go and meet Mrs. Tai and let her be the master!"
At this point, Xiao He didn't have time to retreat, the third lady also persuaded her not to be afraid, saying that she would accompany her and support her, she was not afraid that Yu would really make trouble, she was afraid that she would not make trouble!
So when Tongyun rushed there, she happened to bump into them when they arrived at Dehui Courtyard and asked Mrs. Tai to call the shots.
When Xiao He first entered the house, Mrs. Tai was still very optimistic, seeing that she was docile and well-behaved, not as scheming as other people in the house, but now she was also jealous of the third daughter-in-law, and caused trouble! Mrs. Tai immediately reprimanded her.
"Since you are the eighth woman, you should always think about him, such nonsense, telling right and wrong, is not only bad for Yuzhen's reputation, but also for the eighth child's reputation! Your own husband, are you going to ruin him?"
"I ......" Mrs. Tai's words were sonorous and powerful, and Xiao He had already respected Mrs. Tai, but now that she was reprimanded, she was even more speechless, and she couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
Xiao He only talked about it because of the third lady, she followed up with a few sentences, and it happened that Yu Zhen heard it, and she didn't trouble the third lady, but said that it was her fault! She didn't want to slander the eighth master or anything, she just couldn't get used to Yu Zhen! So she wanted to shirk her responsibility.
"I'm not the only one in the house who said this. ”
Mrs. Tai asked her who else was, and the third lady was beside her, quietly tugging at her sleeve, signaling her not to talk nonsense, so as not to offend more people.
In this house, except for the Seventh Lady and Tongyun, almost all the wives and concubines in each room have secretly said bad things about Yu, if Xiao He says them one by one, I am afraid that the future will not be easy!
After thinking about it, she still didn't have the guts, she only said that it was a private rumor from the maids, and she couldn't name who it was.
And Yu Zhen will not be stupid enough to pursue everyone, just kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys.
"Whether others said it, I didn't hear it, so I don't care, since I heard you chewing the root of your tongue, then I can't tolerate it!"
"E-niang, Aunt He said, I'm not qualified to care about her, so let E-niang call the shots. ”
"Who said you are not qualified?" Mrs. Tai emphasized again: "Every lady in this mansion can teach the concubine, of course, the premise is to deal with it impartially and not to be framed. ”
When Yu Zhen heard this, she smiled slightly, she didn't have to look at it, she also knew that Xiao He must be dumbfounded at this time! Just now she still had a fluke mentality, and now that Mrs. Tai spoke, what else did she have to say? But Mrs. Tai said again:
"Today's matter, Xiao He is at fault first, he will punish you to kneel in the courtyard for two hours, and the others should also have a better memory, if anyone dares to talk nonsense again, it will not be as simple as punishing kneeling, you must be punished!"
Tongyun has always been good friends with Yuzhen, naturally she will not speak for Aunt He, the third lady saw that Mrs. Tai was angry, and she didn't want to help anymore, but she couldn't say anything if she didn't say anything, and then Xiao He would be estranged from her! Thinking like this, she pretended to say a few words, and Mrs. Tai glanced at her, and she was annoyed.
"As a lady, you have been in the palace for a few years, you should teach the new concubines well, let them know the family rules, be cautious in their words and deeds, and blindly indulge in intercession, what kind of system will they become?"
The third lady looked at Xiao He aggrievedly, her eyes were innocent, meaning: Look, I also helped you, I have no heart!
Xiao He had no choice but to obey Mrs. Tai's order, and knelt outside, the clouds covered the sun, and the sky gradually became cold in the afternoon.
People come and go, they will look at her, or mutter, eighty percent of them are laughing at her for being punished for kneeling, and all of this is because of Yu Zhen! If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be so embarrassed, and after today, I'm afraid that she won't be able to raise her head in the house again!
Yu in the house was really left by Mrs. Tai to speak, and Tongyun was also present, and Mrs. Tai took the opportunity to ask her, "If today's matter rests on you, how will you deal with it?"
"Ahh......h I'll explain to her that things aren't what she imagined, and then tell her not to say anything bad again!"
Shaking her head, Mrs. Tai disagreed, "Even if you explain, she won't believe you, people who can't get used to you, everything you do is wrong, she will only insist on her own cognition,
The only way is to use your status as your ninth sister-in-law to check and balance, catch one, punish them severely, and set an example! Other people will have scruples and dare not be reckless and arrogant, even if they can't put an end to it, they can reduce gossip in the end. ”
Tongyun is not proficient in these ways of governing people, and her temperament is soft, so she can't be as strong as Yu Zhen, but since her mother said it, she should also ponder and ponder, and become a relative in the future, and she may be able to use it, "What Eniang said is very true, and my daughter should keep it in mind." ”
Mrs. Tai coincided with her, Yu Zhen was very pleased, but she still had some scruples, "Won't E-Niang blame me for being unforgiving?"
If she thinks that Yu Zhen is too much, she will not help her punish Xiao He, "You can't be merciful when you should be tough." Xiao He, this girl, will be led crookedly with them, she should give some warnings, otherwise she will not know the height of the sky. ”
In this way, Yu Zhen is also relieved. But Listening to Mrs. Tai again:
"Your temperament is refreshing and neat, assertive, and will not look ahead, very suitable for being the master.
I wanted you to help me deal with some household chores, but you just entered the door, if I let you take care of things, those sisters-in-law above you will have opinions, and besides, now that you are pregnant with Liujia, you are already affected, and it is not suitable to bear this heart, so I plan to teach you to take care of the family business after you give birth to a child. ”
Yu Zhen, who was sitting, knew that he had no such qualifications, and bowed his head to salute, "Thank you Eniang, as Eniang said, the daughter-in-law just came, she doesn't understand the rules, and she has to learn from her sisters-in-law in many places, so she has no idea of taking care of things." ”
Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "It's okay, learn first, and you will have something to use in the future." ”
A few people are in the house, the room is warm and the tea is fragrant about life, but Xiao He outside is cold and cold, and no one hurts the sorrow.
The maid couldn't bear to see her suffer, so she quietly asked someone to go to the other courtyard to invite the eighth master over. Although she was invited, the maid didn't have a score in her heart, and I don't know if the eighth master would come over and relieve Aunt He.
