Chapter 11: Mrs. Zhou
She put down the teacup and asked slowly, "So, what does Xiangye mean that this matter is handed over to the eldest girl?"
Mama Feng nodded.
The eldest lady Zhou's expression was faint: "The eldest girl is just a ten-year-old child, how can she care about such a thing?" You ask her to come to Qingxin Hall tomorrow, and I'll ask. ”
Mama Feng hesitated, but decided to step forward and whispered: "Eldest lady, I look at this eldest lady as if she has changed since typhoid fever. They all speak differently......"
"What's different?" The eldest lady Zhou didn't lift her eyelids, and said lightly, "Not a ten-year-old child yet?" Can you still go to heaven? ”
Mama Feng had to say more, but suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door.
Sheng Rulan's voice came from the voice: "Mother, you have to make the decision for me!" How dare a fire-burning maid block my door!"
The eldest lady Zhou's brows moved, and she frowned: "What kind of system is it that shouts and screams?" Let Rulan in. ”
After a while, Sheng Rulan rushed in.
When she saw the eldest lady Zhou, she pounced on her and cried, "Mother, you have to make decisions for your daughter." Sheng Rujin deceives people too much! Let a fire-burning maid block my door and won't let me out!"
The eldest lady Zhou looked at her with a red face, and her eyes were slightly gloomy: "How many times have I told you that you haven't remembered?" What kind of system does it take to panic in a panic? You're seven years old this year, and you're going to go to a private school in the fall, and if you don't accept your temperament, what will you become in the future?!"
Sheng Rulan was startled when she saw her mother Zhou's eyes, and quickly put away the anger on her face.
She bowed to the eldest lady Zhou in a proper manner, and then sat down.
The eldest lady Zhou saw that she was quite obedient and sensible, and her face softened.
"What happened?" she asked.
Sheng Rulan told today's events. It turned out that as soon as she got up early in the morning, she heard the maid say that there were people from the courtyard of Sheng Rujin - Huanxin Courtyard.
She also said that Sheng Rujin finally figured it out, and she didn't dare to offend herself, so she sent someone to apologize early in the morning. But what I didn't expect was an extremely ugly fire-burning maid.
The fire-burning maid named Cuiying was stunned, and opened her mouth to ask Sheng Rulan to hand over the jewelry that she had "borrowed" from Sheng Rujin.
Sheng Rulan was so angry that she almost turned her back on it. She told Cuiying to get out of the way.
didn't expect Cui Ying to be strong and strong, and she was one person, and several of Sheng Rulan's maids couldn't pull her.
After finally calling the little servant to drag Cuiying down, she actually guarded the gate of the courtyard and didn't leave.
Sheng Rulan thought that she had been guarding for a while and left without jewelry, but she didn't expect that Cuiying, the ugly girl, was very patient and waited until she went out to ask for it again.
Sheng Rulan originally planned to dress up beautifully and go out with a few young ladies to enjoy the flowers at Shangshu's house in the Ministry of Officials, but she didn't expect to be blocked by the ugly girl at the gate of the courtyard, and she was blocked for most of the hour, and she missed the time to go out.
The eldest lady Zhou listened to Sheng Rulan's crying. I picked up the teacup I put down again and took a sip slowly.
"So, you did 'borrow' a lot of jewelry from the eldest girl on weekdays?"
Sheng Rulan's face tightened, and she said unnaturally: "Mother also knows that these gadgets are borrowed from each other to play." Besides, the eldest sister has a lot of good things from her father on weekdays, so it is also appropriate to divide the sisters. ”
"Besides, she is a lowly concubine, and I am a concubine, and these things should have been given to me. It's Daddy's eccentric eye! ”
The eldest lady Zhou glanced at her lukewarmly.
Sheng Rulan bowed her head in a weak heart.
"Mother, what do you say about this? Send a message and beat that fire-burning maid out of the house! The daughter was really scared to death by her ugly face. I can't go out today......"
The eldest lady Zhou looked at her coldly: "You are the second lady of the Prime Minister's house, and it is not ashamed to be cured by a fire-burning maid." ”
Sheng Rulan is speechless.
In fact, she lost in this matter.
For Sheng Rujin, she really looked down on her heart. It doesn't matter if Sheng Rujin is three years older than her, or he does everything he can to please her on weekdays. She hasn't changed in the slightest.
Who gives the concubine a share?
Sheng Rujin gave her good things on weekdays, that's as it should be!
Sheng Rujin is low and small on weekdays, and pleases in every way, that is also what it should be!
"Mother, what now?" Sheng Rulan asked.
Mama Feng also stepped forward and frowned, "Big lady, it's not the old slave who said it." This eldest lady is not in a good mood. The little master fell into the water, but it was all an accident!"
She actually set up a private court in Huanxin Courtyard and beat and scolded her subordinates at will. Beat Chengzhu out of shape. also crippled the cloud embroidery. ”
But Xiangye still believed her side of the story, thinking that the little young master fell into the water because of the inside story. That's what made her more and more proud. Now tsk...... I don't know, when this prime minister's house is her milky girl who is in charge. ”
The last sentence is a bit more heart-wrenching.
The eldest lady Zhou glanced at Mama Feng coldly.
Mama Feng's eyelids jumped. Sure enough, the eldest lady Zhou lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Mama Feng should pay attention to what she says, who is in charge of this prime minister's house?" Is it possible that everyone in the house is blind?"
Mama Feng hurriedly knelt down and slapped herself: "The eldest lady forgives her sins, it was the old woman who had a convulsion in her mouth and said the wrong thing!" The Great Lady forgives her sins!"
The eldest lady Zhou waited for her to slap herself a few times, and then said slowly: "But what you said is also right." The big girl is a bit too much. Xiangye has a lot of opportunities, and he still has to worry about the affairs of the back house. She is unfilial. ”
Sheng Rulan and Mama Feng's eyes lit up.
Sheng Rujin is going to be unlucky now!
In the past, the eldest lady Zhou did not act easily, and she could punish Sheng Rujin with no way to ask for help, and she trembled. This time must be no exception!
But I heard the eldest lady Zhou say slowly: "Come on, go and invite the third aunt, just say that I want the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures today, and let her come with her." ”
Mama Feng was stunned. Immediately understood: "The eldest lady is wise!"
Sheng Rulan vaguely understood something. She asked, "Mother, how do you send the fire maid?" Why don't you get out of the house?"
The eldest lady Zhou glanced at her: "It's already a success." Do you want to make the scandal of our prime minister's house known to everyone? You must know that you are going to a private school in the clan this year, how many pairs of eyes are staring. Don't make a mistake. ”
Sheng Rulan suddenly understood.
The Sheng family has a private school in the clan, and both men and women must go to the private school when they are old, until the man is eighteen years old, and the woman is not allowed to go to the private school.
The Sheng family is a family of poetry and books, and the atmosphere of reading is not declining. Sheng Yuming won the emperor's favor with his literary talents. It is because he is strict with his children.
Sheng Rujin is a concubine, if it weren't for her beauty and talent, she wouldn't be so favored.
And Sheng Rulan's qualifications are mediocre, if she is not as good as Sheng Rujin in learning, it will not be a good thing for her to cause a discord between sisters at this juncture.
In addition, the Sheng Mansion is the Xiangguo Mansion, and how many families in the capital are staring. Anything that happens will be a laughing stock.
