004 rules
When Duanmujun and Duanmufei returned to Yanghezhuang from Yaoping Town, it was already golden and sunset.
After all, Duanmujun pawned the jade pendant and used the silver in exchange to buy some medicinal herbs and snacks.
As soon as the two sisters got out of the carriage, they saw Wisteria hurriedly stepping forward, and bent their knees and said, "Big girl, fourth girl, someone is here in the house!" It was Mama You, who was beside Mrs. Tai, who had been waiting in the Zhuangzi for almost an afternoon. ”
The two sisters looked at each other and went to the hall with Wisteria.
In the hall, on the circle chair at the bottom sat an old woman in a maroon dark striped gown, her hair was neatly combed into a bun, and she wore a pair of jade flat squares, and was leisurely holding a teacup and drinking tea.
Seeing the sisters coming over with a smile, Mama You frowned slightly.
She put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Duanmujun and Duanmufei lightly, and didn't mean to salute the two, so she directly reprimanded:
"The eldest girl, the fourth girl, Mrs. Tai let the two girls stay in this village for good reflection, not to let the two girls wander around if they have nothing to do!"
"Leaving so early and returning late, where is there a little bit of everyone's beautiful demeanor!"
"The two girls should learn the rules from the slave maid, so as not to lose the face of Shangshufu outside in the future!"
Listening to what she said, she was actually sent by the He family to teach the sisters the rules.
"Mama You," Duanmu Fei cleverly interrupted her at the end of Mama You's words, and said innocently, "I remember that my grandfather said that our Duanmu family is a family of poetry, books and etiquette, and the family motto is 'erudite in literature, and etiquette'." ”
"Fourth girl, since you know that the Duanmu family is a home of poetry, books and etiquette, you should learn what it means to be inferior and humble, three outlines and five constants." Mama You looked at the sisters with a proud expression, "In this way, it will not be in vain for the old lady's teaching to you and the eldest girl!" ”
Mama You reprimanded meaningfully, the two of them dared to speak so wildly to Mrs. Tai, it was simply unfilial and disrespectful, and they didn't even understand the dignity of the elders and the young!
Duanmu Fei frowned, turned his head and asked Duanmujun: "Sister, what does it mean to be inferior and inferior?" ”
When Mama You heard this, a touch of contempt flashed in her eyes, and she said in her heart: Sure enough, she is a fool, and she doesn't even understand how to be inferior or inferior......
She suddenly thought of something, and her face changed. Where does this four girls not understand "superiority and inferiority", they are clearly mocking themselves for not distinguishing between dignity and inferiority!
Duanmujun sang and said in harmony: "Zhen Zhen, like Mama You, just a slave and maid dare to speak loudly to the master, the master and slave are not distinguished, but they don't understand 'upper and lower dignity'!" ”
A sneer appeared on Duanmujun's lips, and he continued unceremoniously: "The second aunt works hard as a housekeeper on weekdays, and grandmother is too old to take care of those trivial matters, so she will be rampant. The slave bully the master, according to the rules of the house, he should be fifty in the palm of his mouth! ”
"I'm by the old lady's side, who would dare to beat me?!" Mama You's pupils shrank sharply, and her ravine-crisscrossed old face showed a look of arrogance and contempt.
Duanmu Jun glanced at Mama You coldly, and her response was to take out a silver ingot from her sleeve and throw it out directly.
"Come on, give me a slap!"
The silver ingots shook a few times on the mirror-like bluestone floor, and then stood still, glittering.
The monthly case on Zhuangzi is not high, and the rough mother-in-law is only 100 wen a month, such a silver ingot of five taels is enough for them for many years.
A mother-in-law's eyes were green, and she rushed over without thinking, quickly took the silver ingot into her arms, grabbed Mama You's right arm, and beckoned another mother-in-law to clamp Mama You's left arm......
"You...... What do you want to do?! ”
Mama You was really panicked now, and in the roar, she was dragged under the eaves outside by the two mothers-in-law, followed by the sound of the board thrown on the flesh and skin.
"Bang Bang!"
Mama You was cursing and wailing at first, but gradually, she was silent......
After the sound of the board stopped, Mama You's cheeks were already red and swollen, and it seemed that her nose was blue and her face was swollen, which was very terrifying.
Mama You glared at the two sisters angrily, angrily and hatefully, she was a close confidant of Mrs. He's family, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was half a master in the mansion, and she had never suffered such humiliation in the past few decades!
"You...... You wait! ”
Mama You slurred a sentence, and then stumbled away.
Looking at her resentful appearance, she will definitely go to He Shi to sue her fiercely when she goes back.
"Big girl......" Mama Zhang frowned and called out with some concern.
Duanmujun didn't care, and said firmly: "Mama Zhang, we are not wrong, and naturally we don't need an old slave who does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority to teach us any rules!" ”
This grandmother is a close confidant of her grandmother, and she is too deceitful, and she dares to rebuke their sisters like this, if this person is uninformed, I am afraid that they will think that they are servants and she is the master!
Even if they are orphan girls, they can't be bullied by a minion!
Looking at Duanmu Jun's clear and firm eyes, a bright smile escaped from the corner of Duanmu Fei's mouth, and she was in a bright mood, this sister's temper was really good for her appetite.
"Zhen Zhen," Duanmu rubbed the top of Duanmufei's soft hair, "Tonight, my sister will cook herself and cook you a delicious meal to replenish your body." ”
Duanmu Fei nodded obediently and volunteered: "Sister, I'll give you a hand." ”
Her eyes were crooked like a crescent moon, and she could see that Duanmu's heart was about to melt: her sister was the most well-behaved!
"Zhenzhen, what do you want to eat?"
The two sisters discussed dinner with each other, and laughed and laughed.
Although Mama Zhang was worried, seeing that the girls didn't care, she could only sigh faintly, and her heart was heavy.
Night gradually fell, and two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the sisters lived comfortably with the silver from the pawned jade pendant.
However, Mama Zhang was worried, it was not a way for the two girls to live in Zhuangzi for a long time, and in her sigh again, the second lady Xiao He came.
Xiao He is the niece of Mrs. He, and now she is in charge of the middle feed in the house, and her demeanor has the style of being a housewife.
Xiao He is the age of Fanghua, she wears a ginger plate gold embroidered cotton gown, her figure is slightly plump, her eyebrows are thin on her fair round face, and she looks very kind when she smiles, but the words she says are not so kind.
"Sister Jun, Sister Scarlet, your grandmother said it, and the two of you have been reflecting on it here for a few days, so you must know that you are wrong. Your grandmother has a loving heart, let me take you both home. ”
A few days ago, Duanmujun and Duanmufei taught Mama You a lesson, so angry that the He family was furious, originally planned to leave the two sisters in Yanghezhuang for a year and a half, but I didn't expect that two days ago, King Jian Shizi returned to Beijing, and at the same time of resuming his life, he mentioned to the emperor that several generals who had died in the war with Beiyan, and he was a little embarrassed.
In order to rein in the hearts of the army, the emperor specially asked the empress to announce the wives and daughters of those military generals, especially several orphans, to enter the palace to show grace, including the Duanmujun sisters.
Therefore, He had to hurriedly ask her to pick up the person back.
Duanmujun frowned, listening to Xiao He's mouth full of "reflection" and "knowing mistakes", his heart was not very happy.
On that day, it was clear that Duanmu Qi pushed his sister Duanmu Fei into the water first, and he returned a tooth for a tooth, but at this moment, in Xiao He's mouth, he wanted to blame all the fault on their sisters!
Doesn't that mean that the matter of my sister being pushed into the water by Duanmuqi was so lightly revealed, and the wrong person became himself.
Outrageous!
Duanmujun was about to speak, when a mother-in-law hurriedly ran in, panting and said: "Big girl, fourth girl, King Jian's Mansion sent someone to say that the prince heard that the orphan daughter of the prince's old department was here, and he came to greet him." ”
Hearing this, Xiao He's beautiful face could no longer hold on, and his complexion changed slightly.
