Ling Niang was led by Mama Feng and quietly walked in from the small door in the backyard of Zuo Xiangfu. It was pitch black along the way, and there was not a single lantern to be hit.

Ling Niang only felt as if she was covered with two black cloths in front of her eyes, and everything in front of her could not be seen clearly.

Mama Feng took her around, and Ling Niang only felt that she had been walking for a long time, and finally arrived at a very remote house.

Mama Feng pointed to the dark room: "You go in first." ”

Ling Niang began to feel scared: "Do I live here?"

Mama Feng was impatient and pushed her: "There is so much nonsense, let's go in quickly." ”

Ling Niang was pushed and stumbled and almost fell. She was nervous and scared. Because this place is too far away, and there are no lights around, the only thing you can see is the light outside the wall.

It's like an abandoned house.

Ling Niang wanted to retreat, but suddenly saw the two strong men beside Mama Feng staring at her.

Ling Niang had to go into the house.

With a bang, the door closed, and the sound of a lock could be heard.

Ling Niang was in a hurry, so she kept knocking on the door: "Let me out!" Let me out! ”

Mama Feng scolded: "What is the name of the ghost, I will naturally let you out after a while." You're waiting here now. If you shout again, you will be gagged. ”

Ling Niang didn't dare to shout again.

The sound faded away, and after a while silence returned to all sides. Ling Niang fumbled for candles and fire folds, and lit the lamp. Only then did it settle down a little.

She looked around the room, and the furniture was covered in dust. Looks like it's been a long time since it's been cleaned.

I don't know how long it took, but Ling Niang only heard a sound outside. She quickly stood up......

"Who?!" She shouted warily at the door.

……

Mama Feng hurried all the way to Qingxin Hall. Qingxin Hall was exceptionally clean today, and lanterns of various colors were hung up.

Mama Feng entered the house of the eldest lady Zhou. The eldest lady Zhou has changed into a light regular clothes, removed the heavy hairpin ring, and removed the rouge gouache on her face.

She was leaning on the beauty couch and looking at the words handed in by Sheng Rulan. These days, she has been grasping Sheng Rulan's homework very hard.

In addition to studying in a private school, Sheng Rulan also had to complete the homework assigned by Zhou.

When the eldest lady Zhou saw that Mama Feng had arrived, she didn't call her, and she was still looking at the calligraphy unhurriedly. Suddenly, she frowned and said to the maid, "Call the second lady to me." ”

The maid hesitated: "Madam, the second lady is asleep now." ”

The eldest lady Zhou's face was cold: "Then let her get up." ”

The maid didn't dare to talk back and hurried down. After a while, Sheng Rulan, who was sleepy, was led to the house by the nurse.

Sheng Rulan saw her mother's face, first trembled, and then asked timidly, "What does my mother have to say?" ”

The eldest lady Zhou shook her hand and coldly threw the words she wrote on her face.

She scolded with her head and face: "What did you write? You can't even stand up to the words. How can you go to the Mingde Women's Club like this? Look at the person in Huanxinyuan, dump you eighteen streets. You're me off! ”

Sheng Rulan sobbed and cried.

The grandmothers and maids next to them couldn't bear it. Because of the calligraphy scattered on the ground, Sheng Rulan's writing is not bad, and the stroke is neat.

However, the eldest lady Zhou compared her with Sheng Rujin of Huanxinyuan, which was really excessive.

In the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, no one knows that although Sheng Rujin of Huanxinyuan is a concubine, she is early in wisdom and early enlightenment, she can read at the age of three, she can write at the age of four, and she begins to write with a pen at the age of five.

And Sheng Rujin is also diligent in studying, and he does not lose to men. Now he has been worshiped under Mr. Borong as a closed disciple.

This is compared to Sheng Rulan, who has just been enlightened......

Alas......

Only the curses of the eldest lady Zhou could be heard in the room, and Sheng Rulan's sobbing crying. After a while, the eldest lady Zhou suddenly picked up the small stick next to her and began to smoke Rulan's palm.

Sheng Rulanwa cried loudly, and there was another round of swearing and punishment in the house.

It finally subsided.

The eldest lady Zhou brushed her sideburns and scolded Sheng Rulan, who was crying with red and swollen eyes: "Go back and copy these words ten times, and then you have to memorize the disciple rules tomorrow." If you can't memorize it, you don't want to eat. ”

Sheng Rulan didn't dare to say anything, so she could only bow her head and suppress sobbing.

Mama Feng finally couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward and said, "Madame, discourage. The second lady is still young. It's only been less than two months since I was studying......"

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady Zhou said angrily: "Don't you work so hard in less than two months?" Look at the people, look at the people! The concubine is not as good as the concubine, how ugly it is to spread out! She lost my face! ”

She glared at Sheng Rulan angrily: "Don't hurry up and write!" ”

Sheng Rulan took the torn sticker and left crying.

The maids began to clean up the mess, serving tea and serving delicate snacks.

The eldest lady Zhou's face softened slightly.

Mama Feng asked the maids to put on soothing incense, and then lowered her voice: "Madam, it's all arranged." ”

The eldest lady Zhou's hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly. After a long time, she took a sip of tea: "Just get ready." The master will be back later today. He and a few classmates were eating wine in Jingxuan Pavilion. ”

Mama Feng said in a low voice: "It's good to eat and drink." I was fooled when I came back. ”

The eldest lady Zhou suddenly felt irritable: "Do you want to say this?" Go and ask when the master will come back. ”

Mama Feng saw that her face was full of impatience, so she could only retreat quietly.

The night is getting deeper.

The eldest lady Zhou waited with heavy eyelids, and finally there was a commotion in front of the house. After a while, Sheng Yuming, who was flushed with alcohol, staggered in with the support of the maid.

Seeing that Zhou hadn't fallen asleep yet, he picked his eyes: "Madam, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

The eldest lady Zhou saw the dazzling rouge on his collar, and her heart was full of disgust.

She lowered her eyes, stepped forward and said softly, "Isn't this to wait for the master?" Look, the old man is drunk. ”

Sheng Yuming saw that his wife was docile and different from the past, and the displeasure that was originally full of heart suddenly decreased by more than half.

He snorted and pushed Zhou's hand away, and while undressing himself, he said, "I said I'd come back later tonight." You have to wait. ”

Disgust appeared in Zhou's eyes, but he still followed.

Sheng Yuming was changing clothes in the back room, and two delicate maids were waiting. Sheng Yuming lowered his head and looked at the two maids with his eyebrows down, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to tease.

The two maids were both seventeen or eighteen years old, and they already knew about the personnel, and they hid with red faces. Sheng Yuming drank too much, only to feel a fire burning in his heart, and when he saw them hiding, he wanted to tease more and more.

There was a warbler in the back room, and the man laughed.

Zhou listened outside the curtain. She slammed the curtain in, and the sound inside disappeared.

Sheng Yuming lazily stopped the movements in his hand and looked coldly at his wife, who was full of iron face.

"Ma'am, what's the matter? I was not happy. ”
