Outside the side room of Cixuan Hall, the sun is gradually rising.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Qiumei, who had the most humble and deferential posture, was allowed to get up, and half an hour later, Shen Qiutong was also allowed to stand up.

Only Shen Qiutan was still kneeling there.

Then, an hour passed, an hour and a half passed, and more and more servants and maidservants came and went to Cixuantang, and everyone could not fail to look at each other.

Hmm, it turns out that the nine girls who just came back have been taught a lesson!

Mama Wu didn't let the three sisters enter the door, but she wanted to set rules outside, her intention couldn't be more obvious, she just wanted everyone in the house to know that this family is still the old lady's final say.

Lao Yang naturally understood Mama Wu's intentions, and her heart was unprecedentedly comfortable, if it wasn't for her sister to mention it, she wouldn't have thought of such a good way, and the silver given to Mama Wu was not in vain.

Two hours passed, the sunlight was getting stronger and stronger, and the blue brick floor was extremely cold, Shen Qiutan's clothes were not thin, and fine beads of sweat had come out of his body, and the sweat soaked the wound on his back, and it hurt slightly.

Bai Zhi knelt down with a puff: "Mama Wu, our girl is still young and weak, please let our girl go, the slave is willing to be punished on behalf of the girl!" ”

"Slaves too!" Hongdou also knelt down busily, and she regretted a little why she didn't speak before Bai Zhi.

"Oh? Did I say I'm going to punish her? It's just that she didn't kneel well that made her kneel for half a moment longer. Mama Wu was sitting in the shade, and someone was fanning her next to her.

Shen Qiutan said: "That being the case, it's better for Mama to demonstrate one or two first, and also ask a few of us to learn what 'kneeling' is." ”

Mama Wu's eyebrows were sharp, with anger, no wonder the old lady said that she had to deal with it carefully, and she was still so hard-mouthed! She snorted coldly: "So, kneel for two more hours." ”

Shen Qiutan entered Cixuan Hall from Chenshi, and knelt until noon, if he knelt for two more hours, he would have to kneel for a whole day, and he was afraid that this leg would be useless. If it was only her, she was afraid that she would have picked up the ring ruler and killed the old woman earlier, but when she thought of her younger brother, she could only press it and didn't dare to make a mistake.

"I'm afraid it won't work, I still have the homework arranged by my grandfather in the afternoon, and I can't fulfill my grandmother's request." Shen Qiutan licked his dry lips, already a little shaky.

"In this case, then you will kneel after you finish Master Lin's class." Shen Qiutan's situation, the old lady had already explained it to herself, as for the intensity of the punishment, it was naturally as ruthless as possible, otherwise she wouldn't dare to beat people with the ruler, this little girl has fine skin and tender flesh, in case she falls a scar, it will be terrible.

But for this girl, the old lady means that the heavier the hand, the better, if you can ruin this girl's face unconsciously, there will be another reward.

The maids and ladies who passed by hurriedly glanced at each other, and Qiao Shan finally received the news.

Hearing that Shen Qiutan was being punished for kneeling, Qiao Shan's first thought was also the old marquis, but the old marquis had already promised that the old Yang family would naturally not see Qiao Shan again, so Qiao Shan wanted to rush in to take a look at Shen Qiutan again, but the old Yang family was already prepared, and prevented him and Wangshan from entering the inner courtyard early.

His weak husband was so anxious that his eyes were red, which was obviously the old lady taking advantage of the topic to get an executioner to clean up their girl.

Wangshan took his steps back and forth, and shouted, "I'm going to rush in!" ”

"And then?" Qiao Shan asked.

"Then get the big girl out."

"What about the little boy!" Qiao Shan asked again: "The girl's temper is willing to kneel obediently until now, I'm afraid it's because of the little boy." ”

"I ...... That...... How's that to be? We can't let that old witch trample our girl to death! "Wangshan's muscles are tense, full of strength but nowhere to go!

What to do, he also wants to know what to do. Qiao Shan hated himself for having some ink, but he couldn't understand the tricks of this inner house.

At this moment, a small servant sent a post from the Tang family, saying that Mrs. Tang invited Miss Shen Jiu to come to the mansion for a talk.

Qiao Shan's eyes lit up, and he rushed up and snatched the post from the little guy's hand, but the porter didn't have time to stop it, and Qiao Shan had already run away.

Half an hour later, the Tang family's carriage arrived at the door of Shen's house.

When Lao Yang heard that Mrs. Tang was visiting, he hadn't dressed yet, but he saw that Mrs. Tang, who was dressed in a three-grade command, had already rushed in, and her face was very unkind.

It is true that the old Yang family is Mrs. Hou, but the old Hou Ye did not ask for a decree for her, I heard that this was requested by the family of the old Hou Ye's wife. This is also why the old marquis, who originally chose the beautiful but only wealthy Yang family of Gyeonggi to fill the house in this marquis mansion, because any family that has already entered the official career will not agree.

Yes, now the old Yang family can only be called the old lady, not Mrs. Hou.

At this moment, seeing Mrs. Tang appear in front of her in a three-grade fateful dress, her face was red and white, which was very exciting.

Mrs. Tang is a person who wants face after all, so she forcibly endured a salute, and only said in a stiff tone: "I will take me back to live for two days, and I have come to say goodbye to the old lady." ”

Old Yang pointed to her back, and before the three words "you stop" were finished, Mrs. Tang's figure had already left in a hurry.

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun scorched my heart.

Beads of sweat slid down Shen Qiutan's forehead to her chin, and then fell to the bluestone ground, Rao is she changed her body, her body strength was much stronger, and she couldn't withstand such torture. She was shaky and vague, she actually felt a little ridiculous, the pride she had always insisted on, kept telling herself to be cautious, and in the end she could only give in, when will she grow up? When will there be the power of confrontation?

If he doesn't come back, what will the Shen family do to Changzhen?

"Ninth sister, you just take a soft ......" Shen Qiumei was crying cowardly on the side, and Shen Qiutong also said: "Why are you suffering?" ”

Shen Qiutan smiled bitterly: "I've already softened." ”

Mama Wu wanted to come to the first day to get off the horse, and threatened Xiao Changzhen, where did she dare to be unconvinced, if she was not soft, why did she come to Cixuan Hall, why did she kneel, and she knelt until this time?

She scolded Mrs. Wu many times in her heart, thinking that she must find an opportunity to beat this old woman with a sack, and this thought has become her strength to support, but there is always an end of strength.

Just when she couldn't hold it anymore and was about to fall, a gorgeous corner of her clothes appeared in front of her.

"You...... It's ......" Shen Qiutan closed his eyes and shook off the sweat around his eyes, wanting to see himself more clearly, the beautiful woman in front of him seemed to be a little kind.

Mrs. Tang helped her up: "You have suffered, I am your mother's old friend, are you willing to go back to the Tang Mansion with me for a few days?" ”

Tang House? Shen Qiutan remembered that he had seen this lady when he recognized his relatives, and when Gui Niang almost lost her brother, it was this lady who took it.

"Thank you, ma'am, I do." Of course she is willing, as long as there is a choice, she will not stay in the Shen family, but she showed a pleading look: "Can you also bring Mao Mao?" ”
