Chapter 65: Thirty Lashes (Three Watches)
This is strange for Jing Guogong to favor his wife and daughter, regardless of his mother's intentions.
Qiao Mei didn't care, Old Madam Qiao didn't have the courage to sue her father in front of His Majesty. Putting this matter aside, just for the sake of the splendid future of the Jingguo Mansion, Mrs. Qiao did not dare to let her father bear the infamy of "no respect for the elders".
Zhou Shi was still frowning, it didn't matter if she was wronged, but Qingqing was kicked in the face by a maid like this, she didn't want to just give up.
Qiao Mei saw this, and blinked and gave her a reassuring look.
"Mother, let's listen to my grandmother, and even if you get thirty lashes, you can get rid of it." Taking advantage of the fact that Old Madam Qiao had not gone far, Qiao Mei raised his voice and said, "Mama, you come to prison." She turned her head to look at Mama Lin beside Zhou, and Mama Lin leaned over slightly and said yes.
If her mother said this, she would be hated to death by Mrs. Qiao. Now Zhou is still the daughter-in-law of the old lady, and as a mother-in-law, it is very easy to hold her daughter-in-law.
But she Qiao Mei, she will become the crown princess in the future, and she is the object of even the old lady to salute, even if she is in the boudoir now, she is confident.
Well... Qiao Mei has a deep feeling. This is the second time she feels that it is not too good to have Xie Huaijin as a backer.
Hearing this, Ling Lan, who had no time to keep up with Old Madam Qiao, almost stumbled, she bit her lip and looked at Old Madam Lian.
She hoped that the old lady would stand up and speak for her. If it weren't for her back then, the old lady would have been buried in the wilderness a long time ago, how can you see the current Ronghua brocade clothes, what is it to give her a little favor on weekdays?
Outside, the sky was dark, and the little maid was standing outside the door with an oil-paper lantern, reflecting the figure of the old lady who was a little depressed.
And Old Madam Qiao's lips spurted, but she didn't stop her steps, and Mama Zhao, who was holding her, couldn't help but smile.
She couldn't get used to Ling Lan, a dead girl! always relied on the fact that he had saved the old lady and was above her all day long, which of the maids in the yard was not afraid of her and hated her? Now the four girls want to beat this girl Lan, it's just very happy!
Seeing Old Madam Qiao leave without looking back, Ling Lan's face turned white visibly with the naked eye, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
Qiao Mei smiled with satisfaction.
This meal was not satisfactory for Mrs. Qiao, but the rest of the people were not affected at all. Even the Qi family was only slightly surprised, and after calmly eating, he was helped back to the courtyard by the maid, and he didn't even leave his eyes on the second master.
When they returned to Jingyuan Hall, the maidservants below had already turned on the lamp in the house, and when they saw the old lady coming back, they all bowed their heads and saluted.
It's just that unexpectedly, they don't get the familiar taunt anymore. The servants all looked at Mama Zhao, and when they saw her nodding lightly, they were immediately overjoyed, and after getting Mama Zhao's eyes again, they retreated one after another.
Entering the house, Mama Zhao carefully helped her sit down, and Mrs. Qiao closed her eyes and tilted her head and half leaned on the soft couch.
Although Mama Zhao was happy in her heart to let Lan be punished, she didn't dare to show it in the end, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her shoulders and arms for Old Madam Qiao, expressing concern: "The slave has already asked people to go to the small kitchen to cook some food, old lady, you will use it later, otherwise this body bone will not be able to stand it......"
Old Madam Qiao didn't open her eyes, she sighed: "How can I eat, Lan'er has been by my side since I was a child, where have I suffered like this!" Sister Mei'er...... Really, spoiled by the Zhou family! As she spoke, she couldn't speak any more incoherently.
couldn't help but shake her head, Mama Zhao's expression showed a little pity, she had been with Old Madam Qiao for more than twenty years, but she still couldn't match the short few years that Ling Lan stayed by her side.
Ling Lan stepped on her on weekdays, and she could beat and scold the maids in Jingyuan Hall at will, which was actually fine. What Mama Zhao doesn't understand the most is that how can she make her house uneasy with just a life-saving grace? Even in front of her in-laws, the old lady was still looking at Ling Lan!
The fourth girl is the granddaughter of the old lady, the future hostess of the East Palace, and will ...... in the future In the future, it will be splendid and prosperous, so that Lan, a slave girl, can compare with her?
Mama Zhao sighed for her in her heart, the old lady was really confused!
"Even you think it's mine, isn't it? Did I make the Zhou family lose face and make Sister Mei feel wronged? Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Old Madam Qiao couldn't help but open her eyes and said.
There was indifference in her eyes, and Mama Zhao suddenly came back to her senses, and she was about to kneel down in a panic, "Ancestor, how dare the slave think like this, not to mention that it is not your fault in the first place, it is all Ling Lan... No matter how you are the old feudal lord in the mansion, the fourth girl falls on your face in public like this, it means that she is not a junior......"
When these words reached the heart of Old Madam Qiao, she sighed softly and said, "Get up, I don't mean to blame you."
Mama Zhao got up, Old Madam Qiao is like this, she can cool down on her subordinates at every turn. She only felt that a thin layer of sweat came out of her back, but her face was not obvious, and she still smiled and continued to pinch her shoulders for Mrs. Qiao.
Outside, the twilight was gradually sinking, and the lanterns hanging in the corners of the eaves shook twice with the wind, and soon a maid came up with hot noodles and rearranged the dishes and chopsticks.
The candle flame on the candlestick gradually faded, and the clever maid lifted the lampshade and picked the wick, so that the candle flame crackled, and began to rekindle before retreating.
"Let's all go down." Old Madam Qiao still looked sorrowful, and waved her hand to make everyone retreat.
After the meal, it was time to hold the lamp.
After a secret order came down in the palace, Jing Guogong hurriedly went to the palace, but he didn't have time to say a word to Zhou.
After everyone dispersed, Zhou sent Qiao Mei back to Fuxiu Courtyard first. The pebble path was dark, and the maids walked in front of them with their lamps.
The wind was blowing, and the flowers and plants planted around the area were faintly squealing from the occasional insects. Zhou held her hand tightly, and Qiao lowered his eyebrows to understand her uneasiness.
Since the last time, Emperor Zhaoren and Xie Huaijin pretended to imprison her father in order to lure out those rebel ministers. Even if Jing Guoan came back unharmed, Zhou was still worried about him all the time.
Emperor Zhaoren was suspicious, even if the Jingguo Mansion was the prince's mother's family, he was afraid that he would be jealous of the high power of the Jingguo Prince.
Back in the courtyard, the servants came up to untie the trivial pendant for Qiao Mei, and after changing into light clothes, they saw Zhou reading the women's training book by the small couch.
Qiao's eyebrows jumped fiercely, her words are in the book!
She even grabbed the step up to get it, and Zhou was startled by her sudden movement, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Zhou's face was blank, Qiao Mei took the book, and then he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
I almost forgot that the notebook was stuffed under the soft pillow by her. In front of Zhou's doubts, she had no choice but to smile, "My daughter is a little embarrassed......
Zhou Shi understood, she raised her hand and asked Qiao Mei to come over and sit next to her.
Her Qingqing is used to being a little lawless by the Qi family, and the female celebrities are unwilling to learn, and the women of "The Female Ring" are unwilling to learn.
She didn't want her daughter to be bound by these external things, but she was worried that Qingqing would marry someone else in the future, so that she would be different from other women, and her future mother-in-law would blame her?
Now that Qingqing is going to marry the prince, she needs to know etiquette and etiquette, at least not let others see the jokes. Now that she is willing to take the initiative to regain these on her own, the Zhou family is naturally happy.
