Chapter II: Punishment of Cai Qiong
Thinking of the young girl, Jiang Yu mourned in her heart, and suddenly got up, Cai Qiong was so shocked that she took a few steps back, and the hot tea splashed on Jiang Yu's dress, almost burned, and the tea cup also fell to the ground, seeing that the tea cup was broken, Cai Qiong quickly reacted, kneeling on the ground and pleading: "The slave should die, staining the lady's clothes, please punish the lady." ”
Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows and said to Jiang Wan: "If you stain your dress, you can change it, but as a maidservant, even serving tea is so unfamiliar, I have such a clumsy girl in Lanyue Pavilion, and I just let the second sister see the joke." ”
"Sister Mo is angry, this maid is stupid, Mo is as knowledgeable as her, so as not to hurt her body." Jiang Wan also got up, comforted softly, and instructed Cai Qiong, "Don't pack it up quickly, so as not to be disgusted." ”
"Wait!" Jiang Yu said coldly, "I've always been careful in employing people on weekdays, this girl is so stupid, there is no need to stay, so I might as well ask the housekeeper to drive her out of the house and sell her." ”
As soon as these words came out, Cai Qiong was panicked, I don't know where Jiang Yu got such a big anger, and she hurriedly threw her eyes to Jiang Wan for help, Jiang Wan also knew that Cai Qiong was a nail that Wang Rubi buried for her in Lanyue Pavilion, and she didn't want to give up easily, so she said: "Why should my sister be angry with this servant?" My sister also knows that my sister has always been generous, so just reward her with a few boards, so why should she be expelled from the house? ”
Jiang Yu was just deliberately talking, in the future, she would not let Cai Qiong go so easily, so she followed Jiang Wan's words and said: "Since the second sister interceded for her, let her go for the time being, but if she made a mistake, she can't be easily spared, and ask her to get thirty boards by herself to set an example." ”
Thirty boards? This fight continues, not to mention the flesh and skin for the woman, I am afraid that she will have to lose half her life, Cai Qiong also wants to argue: "Miss, the slave maid did not mean to, if it wasn't for the young lady to get up, the slave and maid might not miss, please Miss to investigate." ”
"Not convinced?" Jiang Yu glanced at her lightly, "Do you know why when the master makes a mistake, why the master is not punished, and the one who is beaten is always the subordinate?" ”
Cai Qiong was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"Because the master will not be wrong, and even if there is, it is the wrong of the subordinate." Jiang Yu smiled calmly, "Then now do you know what you did wrong?" ”
"Slaves and maids are clumsy and deserve to be punished." Although it hurts to be beaten from the board, it is better than being expelled from the house and being sold, Cai Qiong had to endure it, and kowtowed: "Thank you, slave, young lady." ”
"You don't have to thank me, you should thank your second miss." Jiang Yu looked at her with a smile, "It's the second sister who asked for you." ”
When Jiang Wan heard this, she was inexplicably surprised, she always felt that Jiang Yu today was very different from usual, but she couldn't say anything strange, but with her understanding of Jiang Yu, how could she find out her mother's carefully arranged internal response with her brain, not to mention that even if she found out, how could she not insist on sending Cai Qiong, but sold her face again? Removing the doubts in her heart, Jiang Wan only thought that she was too careful, and she didn't know if Jiang Yu was in a bad mood recently.
Jiang Wan said with a smile: "My sister is laughing, if it weren't for my sister's generosity and kindness, it would be useless for my sister to persuade her." ”
Naturally, the board can't be in Lanyue Pavilion, and soon a few girls will take Caiqiong to receive the punishment, and most of them lowered their heads in panic when they came, and looked directly at Jiang Yu without looking.
Jiang Wan sorted out her thoughts, took a few steps forward, and said softly: "I heard that my sister has occasionally felt cold recently, and after thinking about it, I am still worried about my sister's condition, so I came to visit, my sister is better?" ”
"Oh?" Jiang Yu raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Wan, "That second sister knows why I am infected with this cold." ”
Jiang Wan was like a frightened rabbit, and when she heard this, she knelt on the ground and sobbed: "It's all mine, if it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't have been punished by the second aunt to kneel in the ancestral hall overnight, I really deserve to die, my sister beat me to death." ”
"The second sister is wrong, it's not because the second aunt is punished for kneeling, I'm just punishing it." Jiang Yu didn't help her up, nor did she say anything to comfort her, but she secretly scolded herself in her heart for being stupid, how could she listen to such a villain in the first place, not to mention that although the second aunt Zhang was vicious, her scheming was far less profound than Jiang Wan's, if Jiang Wan hadn't deliberately exposed her mistakes, I am afraid that Zhang's would have been difficult to catch her pigtails.
Jiang Yu, as the daughter of the first room, is a thorn in Zhang's heart, and it is reasonable for the two to be discordant, and Jiang Wan provokes trouble everywhere, which is even more incompatible.
Zhang's is also the daughter of the official family, the girl's name is Qinzhen, on the day An Furu died, the old lady of Pingyuan Hou did not like Zhang's faction, and did not want to let Zhang's marry into the Jiang family to fill the house for the steproom, Jiang Congwen simply vowed not to marry a wife, and won the reputation of being a wife in the court and the opposition, so she could only succumb to the position of the concubine.
Jiang Wan is the third aunt Wang Rubi, who worked hard for several years to get a name, seems to be cowardly by nature, and can't get sick all the year round, like an invisible person in the house, but who would have thought that such a soft and weak sick seedling would also defeat Zhang Qinzhen, who had been in power in the Hou Mansion for several years, and gave birth to Jiang Congwen's only son.
In her previous life, because of pity for Jiang Wan, every time Jiang Wan and Zhang Qinzhen had a conflict, Jiang Yu was able to help and blocked most of her, because of her identity as a concubine, Zhang Qinzhen didn't dare to attack her on the surface, so she could only secretly stumble and blow the pillow wind to Jiang Congwen, and didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
A few days ago, I didn't know if it was Jiang Wan who "collided" with Zhang Qinzhen's mother for the first time, she was determined to rectify Jiang Wan this time, and she had to let Jiang Wan kneel in the courtyard all night just now.
At that time, Jiang Yu felt sorry for Jiang Wan's young and delicate body, and was willing to hit the muzzle of the gun, so she had to receive this punishment for her, and the wind was strong at night, so she was sick for a few days. In those years, Jiang Yu asked herself if she really treated her with her heart and lungs, how could she have thought that she would be able to do such a dehumanizing thing in the future, and she also hated herself for not knowing people clearly.
"Sister, aren't you still blaming your sister?" Jiang Wan asked cautiously, tears welling up in her eyes.
"How so? I'm an older sister, and I should do something for my sister. Jiang Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just that I really don't understand, if the second sister is really worried about my condition, why don't I see the second sister visit me these days when I'm sick?" Now that I'm well, the second sister is here, and it's a coincidence. ”
Jiang Wan's eyes were full of tears, so she didn't make people pity: "Sister, did you misunderstand your sister?" My sister doesn't know, my aunt has always been in poor health, and she was sick again a few days ago, and my sister has to take care of my aunt, so I really can't spare time. ”
Seeing her so coquettish, Jiang Yu sneered in her heart: "The second sister's filial piety is commendable, and it is reasonable to take care of her mother, how can I blame you, I don't know if the second sister can visit the third aunt today?" ”
Jiang Wan never thought that Jiang Yu would ask such a question, so she only wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a few days, I wanted to visit my sister first, and then go to my aunt's place." ”
"In that case, that's right, I'll go with my second sister to visit my third aunt."
On weekdays, Jiang Yu rarely takes the initiative to go to Wang Rubi's yard, Jiang Wan doesn't understand what she means, Jiang Yu doesn't treat her as kindly as before, and she always gives her a kind of pressure invisibly, probably because she is still angry that she hasn't visited these days, it can be seen that she is still kind and pleasant, but she has deceived Jiang Yu, and she is relieved.
