Spring return has only been on a circle of tea this morning, why do you turn your head and want to drink tea? Isn't this the rule that servants and maids should have when they visit their mothers, they all have to have a cup of tea, and the mothers don't die yet? But although she felt that there was something wrong, she still quickly thought of a possibility, and her face was clouded.

Qingping was the first to notice the change in Chungui's mood, and immediately stepped forward to take the tea: "How dare you bother Sister Herou with such a job as pouring tea and handing out water?" ”

The tea has been taken away and stacked aside, but Harmony has been maintaining a posture of bowing her head and raising her hands.

Spring Return: ......

Yu:......

When the master and servant almost thought that this "personal maid" was suffering from hallucinatory hysteria, Cao's mother spoke again: "This is a tea ceremony, please grandma smile." ”

The nondescript wording revealed the obvious coercion, and Qingping's face was also clouded, but Chungui didn't wait for her to continue to interrupt this time.

"Tea ceremony? The implication of Cao's mother is that Herou is the concubine of Uncle Herou? ”

Except for the younger generation serving tea to the elders, it is between wives and concubines, and Chungui is impatient to pretend to be confused in front of Cao's mother, so he simply gets straight to the point. And she also instructed Qingping very seriously: "Then this tea is not what you can follow, let Herou hold it quickly." ”

Yu:......

The full house of slaves and maids looked at the soft and stiff palms, a cup of tea went and returned, except for Mother Song, mother and daughter, no one understood the real thoughts of the grandmother, but Mother Song, Mei Jealousy, and Ju Xi were in different moods under the premise of "understanding".

Second maid: Haha, the most resistant thing for the eldest grandmother is the concubines in the partial room, and the one who hates it is the man who hugs the left and the right, and she actually met a maid who rushed to the tea ceremony? is really brazen enough, the grandmother will not take care of those virtuous and obedient false names, and have to suffer from the old and the young.

First mother: It's bad, Cao's mother is fighting for her goddaughter's fame, but it just touches the big grandmother's scales, who makes the master of the family and the old lady resist taking concubines? It's no wonder that the eldest grandmother can't accept it, it's just that the Taishi Mansion is not an ordinary family, and the uncle will ...... sooner or later If grandma can't even tolerate a maid-born concubine now, she will be guilty of jealousy!

And Chungui's next words really didn't mean to admit that Herou was a concubine: "I have never heard the uncle mention this matter, so I can't take this tea." ”

I saw that Herou was still unmoving, like a humanoid stone statue.

Spring Return: ......

This girl is very qualified to be a chaste archway, but Uncle Zhao's temperament is ...... It's hard to imagine that he will take a memorial arch home as a concubine.

But naturally there are people who are indignant for the sake of harmony.

"What kind of family is the Taishi Mansion? How can the family motto allow children and grandchildren to take concubines before marrying a wife? However, Herou is a person who was recognized by the eldest lady before her death and served the grandfather and grandmother for life, so today's tea, the grandmother should laugh at it. "Mother Cao is the one who came out.

"Since it was my mother's instructions, why didn't the uncle say a word?" Chungui is still tough.

"Grandma, is this suspected of the old slave lying?"

"yes, can't I doubt it?"

Mother Cao raised her head suddenly, and her eyes seemed to see a three-headed and six-armed monster.

"What about this tea, I definitely won't be able to take it today, look at my mother

look, presumably even if I invite the uncle back to testify, my mother will not be able to justify herself, so I don't have to bother the uncle anymore, after all, taking the exam is the most important thing. Chun Gui smiled slightly, trying to imitate Uncle Zhao's posture because he took it for granted.

Even if she can't be domineering in the Taishi Mansion, does she still have to rely on the snort of a servant woman in the courtyard? Uncle Zhao's promise is still in her ears, if Mother Cao really dares to continue to threaten and talk nonsense, what is she afraid of, it's a big deal to invite Uncle Zhao back.

Chungui didn't look at Cao's mother's unfathomable face at all, and ordered: "Go down gently, you don't have to interfere in the affairs of my house in the future, but the example is still the same as before." ”

Gentle and motionless.

Until Cao's mother said, "Let's say goodbye to Herou first." ”

Chungui lost his temper when He Rou just moved: "You want to say goodbye now, but I don't allow it!" ”

She got up, endured the pain in her hands, and maintained a majestic posture, slowly paced in front of Herou, and only frowned condescendingly: "Although you are the goddaughter of Cao's mother, it is your obedience as a daughter to obey her instructions, but have you forgotten that you are still a maidservant in the garden?" There is also the duty of obeying the master. ”

The dumb and stupid and a somewhat straightforward servant girl and Rou turned into a frightened rabbit without wiping her face, looking up timidly, and shrinking back in fright, shaking her lips as if she didn't know how to explain, her eyes were wet red first, but the proportions were appropriate, and the tears didn't drip out.

Even Chungui can't tell if she has excellent acting skills or such a temperament.

Cao's mother did not transform, and maintained her rigid nature as usual: "The eldest grandmother is newly married into the Taishi Mansion, she must not know the rules of the family, the Taishi Mansion will never abuse people!" ”

"Cruelty? Could it be that in Cao's mother's eyes, I was just scolding a few words of servant and pointing out her mistakes, and I turned out to be a cruel subordinate? It's not that the uncle didn't tell me the rules of the Taishi's Mansion, but I haven't heard of anyone who should take the master's order as a wind in his ears. "Spring return is also not an inch.

"Herou didn't mean to disobey the order, but she didn't get used to the extra housewife in the garden for a while, and she couldn't complain about her stupid girl, but no one expected that the uncle would marry outside after leaving Fenzhou." Cao's mother's tone even brought out a bit of ridicule.

She is not only Mrs. Zhu's confidant, but also Lan Ting's nurse, according to the rules of these high-ranking families, she can be regarded as half of Lan Ting's elders, even the uncle has to take care of her decency and give a little respect, and it is a matter of course for her to teach her new daughter-in-law who has just entered the door by virtue of her identity.

"Madame was the most generous and virtuous when she was alive, and the eldest grandmother should learn from the lady's morality, and the small mistakes that were made by the gentle and unintentional, since the eldest grandmother has been reprimanded, there is no need to pursue it." Mother Cao/Forced to look at the spring return, where is she like a servant woman, but she is even more fierce than Mrs. Peng, who is in charge.

"If He Rou is not used to the fact that there is one more housewife in the garden, then who is the one who knelt down to serve tea earlier?" Compared with Cao's mother's arrogance, Chungui did not imitate her domineering, at this time she simply didn't even frown, just looking at her look not only did not look like she was competing with others, but more like talking and laughing.

She just put a pair of pretty eyes in this way, and responded to Cao's mother's forced gaze without flinching: "Mom is in the way of mother-daughter affection, and I can understand it for Herou to excuse her, but Herou's fault today is not unintentional in my opinion, but I."

Yuan didn't think about severe punishment, just to set up rules in the garden, and there was no need for small punishments and big punishments. ”

This is equivalent to announcing that the future rules of the garden are not controlled by Cao's mother, and she, the main mother, is not a decoration.

An orphan girl from a broken family dares to be so domineering? Cao's mother's eyebrows barely stood up.

At this time, the "frightened rabbit" and the soft girl changed in the same place again, as if the reason returned to the cage and became a mediator role, she prevented Cao's mother from continuing to argue, and would rather be punished and aggrieved, although admitting her mistakes was not timely but sincere: "The eldest grandmother taught the right lesson, it is all the fault of the slave and the maid, it is the slave and the maid who are dissatisfied and did not obey the order of the eldest grandmother, and the slave and maid did not fulfill their duty and should be punished." ”

followed by a big week to grab the ground with his forehead, but he didn't add any more bitter scenes and kowtowed to make bloody scenes.

It's not admitting punishment, it's resisting.

It turns out that Herou knows the duty of being a subordinate.

Of course, the spring return is just a small punishment and a big precept as he said, but he is punished to stand for an hour, and he also specifically warned that he does not need to stand in the sun, but he can still shade in the verandah. So the farce of "formal salute" in the garden led by Cao's mother and gently staged, and Grandma Gu was forced to play helplessly, finally came to an end, but no one could say who won and who lost for a while.

The most anxious person is undoubtedly Mother Song, not only sent Mei jealousy and Ju Xi, but even she herself went out to inquire about a round of news with a smiley face, but in the Taishi Mansion, where she is not familiar with life, how easy is it to find out the root of harmony? On the contrary, I heard a lot of gossip that it was not enough for half a day, and even the people in the Huanyi room had heard about what happened in the garden, and these servants and maids talked about it, and none of them thought that Cao's mother was disrespectful to the bride by virtue of her identity, and that she was gentle and contrary to her duty, and everyone was saying that the grandmother was not.

"Look at a few ladies in the house, who doesn't pay a little respect to the old man's nurse and mother, I didn't expect the eldest grandmother to dare to refute the dignity of the grandfather and nurse as soon as she started, it seems that the eldest grandmother really doesn't know the rules of etiquette."

"We can't say for sure if you understand it, but there is one thing, this grandmother has the intention to give Cao's mother and daughter two heads to eat today, why? It's not the word jealousy, who doesn't know that Herou was carefully selected by Mrs. Zhu, who took the lead, since the grandmother entered the door, she should give her a name, but she didn't expect to refute it, saying that Cao's mother's words were not substantiated, but also found Herou's mistakes and ruined people's face. ”

"What credentials do you need for this? People like ours, there will be an old and dignified maid in the young master's house since he was a child, although it is not like those noble families who have set their names early, the meaning is always like that, is Herou personally selected by Mrs. Zhu for the uncle? Is it waiting in the house when you are young? This is all something that everyone in the family knows in their hearts, and the eldest grandmother dares to deny it. ”

"Speaking of Herou, this girl is also pitiful, she has always been an honest person, she has never had the mind of such a demon to spare, Mrs. Zhu asked her to serve the uncle, her mind is on the word service, and she has survived until she is in her early twenties...... She and her sister were both faithful servants to the Lord, and one was martyred by the Lord, and the other was not blessed with good fortune. ”

When Mother Song heard these discussions, she was so anxious that she was even more anxious as if she was on fire from the soles of her feet to the heavenly spirits, and swept back to the garden like a whirlwind, chasing after the spring return is a lot of bitter persuasion.
