Chapter 13: The Scum
The night before, Du Huo was angry with Xiao Rongyue, but he didn't spare Yuzhu, and when Yuzhu went to Xiao Rongyue the next day, his face was still tired, and his hand holding the groomed copper basin for her was still trembling slightly.
Xiao Rongyue glanced at her, didn't pay attention to it, and told her to follow her to Chunhua Garden again.
Pei Shi didn't have such a good tolerance as Xiao Rongyue, she gritted her teeth and stared at Xiao Rongyue who was sitting on the couch in front of her, the wound on her arm was throbbing and hurting, as if the anger in her chest was burning more and more.
If she hadn't remembered Duran's words, she would have been unable to help but clean up this merchant girl who didn't know the height of the sky.
"Is the injury on Ah Jia's hand better?" Xiao Rongyue smiled, "I was reckless yesterday, I have never done such a thing before, I will inevitably be a little negligent when I get started for the first time, and I will definitely be careful today, so that I can give birth to Ajiabu vegetables." ”
Xiao Rongyue said with a sincere face, but Pei's family heard it with a pain in her heart, she was not confused, she would not let her get close to her again no matter what, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "No need, let Bai Zhi and them do these things." ”
This is going to be the right thing!
"You just got married into the mansion, you are still young, and you don't know a lot of things...... Pei Shi cleared his throat and began to say the words to the point, which was specially reminded by her daughter Duran yesterday.
"Ah Niang, the Xiao family expected that you would have no way to take her, after all, our Du family now has to admit this family affair, if you hold her forty-eight dowry in your hands, she is a lowly woman who marries into the door, do you dare to toss out anything? Even if the Xiao family is rich, can they still take care of our housework? ”
Duran is right! Pei Shi woke up for a while, he was really confused with Xiao Rongyue this day, as long as he grabbed her dowry, not to mention that San Lang went to Chang'an to study too much, even if Xiao dared to say anything, he could only be at her mercy.
She made up her mind, and opened her mouth at this time, waiting for Xiao Rongyue to bow her head, after all, she is a bride who has just married into the door, again
What if you have an idea, you can't just succumb to filial piety and let her handle it.
It's a pity that Xiao Rongyue still didn't follow her wishes, and before she finished speaking, Xiao Rongyue's smile was even more earnest: "What the family said was that before I left the cabinet, my grandfather and aunt said the same, saying that I was young and careless, and asked me to learn from Mrs. ”
Pei's heart snorted coldly, but his face was not revealed, and the corners of his mouth were curved: "I have been married into the Du family for many years, and I have done my best to do some work for the house, so that San Lang and their people are today." ”
She looked at Xiao Rongyue: "Originally, I didn't want to ask you more, but now that you have married into the Du family, you are a member of the Du family, I can't watch you be confused, the Xiao family has given you a lot of dowries, rather than putting it in your hands and messing up, it is better to leave it to me to think about it for you, and you can have an understanding." ”
After she finished speaking, she called Mother Lin: "After a while, you sent someone to the marriage sent by the Xiao family in Qiushi Garden to bring it to Chunhua Garden." ”
It's just that as soon as her words fell, Xiao Rongyue giggled, and a pair of eyes fell on the master and servant of the Pei family: "Slow, I have something to ask the A family." ”
"The Ah family married into the Du family at the beginning, but they also handed over the dowry to the old lady?"
Pei Shi almost choked to death with saliva, and stared at her: "How can that ......?"
But as soon as the words fell, he came back to his senses, his face was full of embarrassment and discomfort, and he coughed before he said, "At that time, the old lady was not in good health. ”
At the beginning, the Pei family in Chang'an was in full swing, and it was also one of the best celebrity families in the court, the head of the family, Pei Chongyuan, was an important minister of Gaozu, what a beautiful situation it was for the Pei family to marry the Du family, how could it be possible to hand over his dowry to Mrs. Du, but now Xiao Rongyue clearly mentioned it intentionally, but she almost missed it.
Xiao Rongyue smiled: "I heard that the old lady is in good health and has been in charge of the mansion for many years, but she only died without illness a few years ago." ”
Pei's face turned red, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "That's the old lady's confidence in me, so naturally I won't ask." ”
After listening to her, Xiao Rongyue's smile dispersed, but she frowned and whispered: "It turns out that the Ah family is not worried about me, so they want to accept my dowry, didn't I do something wrong?" ”
She turned her face away and looked like she was about to cry: "Is that really the case?" I didn't know that I had betrayed the kindness of the A family, and I would like to confess to the elders of my mother's family tomorrow, and ask them to come to the house to make amends to the A family, after all, this is all my fault. ”
Bang dang! Pei Shi just picked up the tea bowl in her hand and wanted to take a bite of suppressing the anger and slammed it on the table again, she pointed at Xiao Rongyue and shook for a while before she spoke: "You, you, you are determined to be angry with me." ”
is obviously pretending to be stupid, she wants Xiao Rongyue to hand over the dowry, but Xiao Rongyue said that she wants her mother's family to come to the house and tell her, this is obviously to make this matter known to everyone, if you teach others to know that the Du family is going to accept the dowry of the daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be a big joke, everyone will know that the Du family is now relying on the daughter-in-law's dowry!
She never imagined that the lady of the Xiao family was so brutal and difficult! I don't eat hard or soft!
Xiao Rongyue chuckled, but she looked innocent: "What's wrong with Ah Jia?" What did I say wrong? ”
Pei Shi only felt that his chest was burning, like a piece of burning coal, so he could only hold his chest and pant heavily, and he didn't want to look at this spicy thing anymore, gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "You go out." ”
Frightened, Bai Zhi and the others hurriedly stepped forward to rub their chests and serve tea to relieve her.
Xiao Rongyue was as kind as a stream, and got up obediently: "Since the Ah family has something to do, then I will say goodbye first, and I will come back tomorrow to ask the Ah family for peace." ”
She is a good daughter-in-law, and it is indispensable to say hello every day, so that people can't find the slightest mistake.
It's just that she hasn't gotten up to go out yet, and a voice full of worry has come from outside: "Auntie, aunt, what's wrong with you?" ”
Pei Erniangzi walked in quickly, her delicate face was full of uneasiness, she stepped forward and sat down by Pei's couch, took Pei's hand and said anxiously: "Auntie, what's wrong?" How did it come to be like this? ”
Pei Shi still has the strength to speak at this time, and pointed at Xiao Rongyue: "Teach her to go out......"
Pei Erniangzi raised her head, looked at Xiao Rongyue with a pair of frightened fawn-like eyes, and cried a little: "Third cousin-in-law, no matter what, my aunt is your mother-in-law, how can you make her angry like this?" ”
Yo, this little white lotus is actually going to take the initiative today.
Xiao Rongyue didn't leave, walked a few steps forward, stopped in front of Pei Erniang, stared at her for a while, saw that she was startled and shrunk back, hiding behind Pei's family, and then laughed slowly: "Pei family lady is afraid that she is mistaken, Ah Jia is not angry with me, but just told me about it, the second lady is not young, but no one has come to the door to propose, so she can only stay in the Du family. ”
She watched Pei Erniang's face turn from red to white, and finally turned blue-gray, her mouth trembled like cramps, and tears came down her eyes.
This, this teaches her how to live!
