Chapter 3: Discipline
Seeing his daughter's appearance like a chicken in soup, Rong Shi was really distressed, his eyes were sharp and cold to look at Qin Wan, and asked, "Are you guilty!" ”
"I'm not wrong." Qin Wan raised his head and looked at Rong's family, and said, "If she doesn't push me into the water first, I won't push her!" ”
This girl dares to contradict her elders, and she dares to push people into the water?!
Qin Susu has always been raised under the care of the Rong family, and she is reluctant to touch it in her ordinary life, just a beggar, and dare to speak so boldly in front of her? !
Rong's expression turned cold, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Our prime minister can't tolerate you who are ruthless and cruel to your sisters, if you don't admit your mistake today, kneel here for me!" Kneel until you realize your mistake! ”
The temperature dropped sharply to freezing early this morning, and the sky was dreary, thinking that it would snow at night.
The cotton clothes on Qin Wan's body were already soaked, and he would definitely not be able to stand kneeling down like this, Rong looked at Qin Wan condescendingly, waiting for her to beg for mercy.
"You are a mother-in-law, since you ask me to kneel, I will kneel!" Unexpectedly, Qin Wan said without the slightest fear, her back stiffened, and she looked at Rong's gaze, and said firmly: "But I'm not wrong!" ”
Rong's pupils shrank, since Qin Wan recovered, he had never gone out in the room, and the grandmother who served Qin Wan also came to report to her, saying that Qin Wan's personality was cowardly and easy to handle.
Now that he has done such a thing, and he is so ashamed to die and unrepentant, the authority of the prime minister's mother has been ignored by a concubine like this, Rong Shi trembled and stretched out his hand to Qin Wan, gritted his teeth and said, "Good, good, good." ”
After saying three good words in a row, Rong Shi angrily said to the subordinates around him: "Give me a good look at her, and don't let her get up without my order!" ”
After Rong finished his order angrily, he hugged Qin Susu and left.
Qin Wan knelt on the edge of the pond, the cold wind penetrated into the cotton clothes, and her teeth chattered up and down.
Three meters away in front of him, a mother-in-law leaned against a tree with her arms in her arms, twisting her nose from time to time, and scolding in her mouth: "It's really unlucky, such a cold day actually made me suffer with it, and I don't know what kind of sin I created!" ”
The unfavored lady in the family lives as if she is not as good as a slave.
About half an hour later, snowflakes fell in the sky, and the lanterns hanging on the trees were swaying by the cold wind, and the candles were getting darker and darker, and the candles in the lanterns were about to burn out.
"It's snowing."
In the night sky, pieces of snowflakes fell on his cheeks and turned into a drop of cold water, the snow was flying, and under the wanton abuse of the cold wind, Qin Wan's thin body could no longer withstand the severe cold, and his eyes were dark and he fainted.
Seeing her fall, the mother-in-law was startled, ran forward and squatted down and pushed: "Hey, don't pretend to be dead!" ”
Qin Wan opened his eyes again It was already the evening of the second day.
She was the only one in the unusually simple and simple room, the wet clothes on her body had been changed into a clean cotton jacket, the room was cold, there was no charcoal fire, and her body was only covered with a thin quilt.
In Qin Wan's memory, when he first entered this Bihe courtyard, there were charcoal fires and a few new quilts distributed by the house, but they were all put in the cabinet and locked by Mama Zhang, who was allocated by Rong's, leaving only a bed cover, which was called "saving." ”
This year's harvest in Yanguo is generally sluggish, in addition to Yanjing City, the drought of various places, the waterlogging of waterlogging, as the wife of Zhengyipin, Rong's family, naturally rushed to the front, in order to save the good name, for the disaster areas in various places to offer a heart.
The limelight was once in full swing, and it is said that even the emperor personally rewarded him.
His head was still a little heavy, and his throat was dry and uncomfortable, Qin Wan lifted the brocade quilt and got out of bed and walked to the table, and when he was about to pour a glass of water to moisten his throat, he found that there was no water in the kettle.
Mo said that it was a wealthy officialdom in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even the Liu Mansion of the merchants, the hot tea among the people would not stop, and the boudoir of a second lady did not even prepare a pot of hot water.
The people who are waiting in Bihe Courtyard are really getting more and more unpleasant!
Qin Wan opened the door and walked out of the room, the cold wind blew, the few lanterns hanging in the courtyard were crumbling, and the courtyard was bare and extremely lifeless.
Following his memory, Qin Wan turned the corridor and came to Mama Zhang's room.
Pushing open the door, there is a layer of cotton curtain hanging inside, and the room is lit with a charcoal stove, and as soon as you enter, the warmth instantly fills the whole body.
Mama Zhang sat by the charcoal stove, knocking melon seeds on Erlang's legs.
Originally, she heard the movement and was about to put away the melon seed plate, but the moment she raised her eyes to see Qin Wan, she pursed her lips and continued to put the melon seeds between her legs, knocking the melon seeds while knocking on the melon seeds, and said casually: "Second Miss is awake?" It's cold outside, it's windy, what are we going to do in people's rooms? ”
Qin Wan said: "I'm thirsty, please ask Mama Zhang to prepare a pot of hot tea." ”
Mama Zhang sat still, but the melon seeds in her mouth kept knocking, "Second Miss, the fire in the kitchen has been extinguished now, you want to drink water, and you have to re-split the wood to make a fire, it's too troublesome, this big night, it's so cold, no one wants to go out at this time, Second Miss, bear with it first, and wait for tomorrow morning, I'll burn it for you." ”
called the second lady in her mouth, but the master was standing, she was sitting, in this Bihe courtyard, Mama Zhang was like a real master.
Qin Wan didn't speak, turned around and walked out, and the moment she walked out of the door, she heard Mama Zhang's scolding voice inside: "A beggar, do you really think you fly on the branch and become a phoenix?!" Bah! ”
Such a snobbish minion, when the master loses power, she always has thousands of reasons to prevaricate for her laziness, even if she has a hard time with her, there are hundreds of ways to deceive and pitiful people, and the wicked person sues first to get out for himself.
What's more, Mama Zhang is Rong's person, and it is not a wise move to confront her at this time.
In addition to Mama Zhang, there are only two girls who clean the yard in the Bihe Courtyard, when Qin Wan first came back, Rong said that the maids in the house were nervous, and according to the standard configuration of the ladies in the house, looking for two personal maids to serve with them would need to recruit people from outside, and it would take a long time.
So the job of personal service fell on Mama Zhang.
The two girls who cleaned the yard were usually looking at Mama Zhang's horse, and they couldn't be relied on because of those two girls.
