Chapter 3: Suffering

When the first rays of the sun shone into the room, there was one more person beside Yin Cheng, and that person was none other than her husband, Tong Mingyuan.

Then, a scream pierced the silence of the morning. When Ziyun heard this, she ran anxiously into the room. Tong Mingyuan in the room said impatiently: "What are you shouting in the morning, the noise is so noisy that Young Master Ben can't sleep well." Besides, it's your blessing to be able to sleep in the same bed with Master Ben. ”

After Yin Cheng heard this, he shouted: "Tong Mingyuan, you are shameless, you ran out on your wedding night, and you didn't return all night to be contaminated with those Qinglou women, what kind of face do you have to say those words?" Tong Mingyuan, marrying me is your misfortune. ”

"Oh? Is it? It's my misfortune, whose luck is that? Shao Jihong? Don't think that I, Tong Mingyuan, don't know about your dirty things, do you think Shao Jihong's president is so easy to do? If it weren't for the support of my Tong Mansion, he Shao Jihong would be just a waste, understand? He's a piece of shit! ”

"You ......" Yin Cheng gritted his teeth, hating to tear him apart.

Tong Mingyuan smiled at her, patted her shoulder and said, "Daughter-in-law, save your energy now!" Hahaha!! Then he walked away. After he walked out of the door, Yin Cheng came to his senses and found that half an hour had passed for the tea ceremony, and Yin Cheng felt that something was wrong, so he urgently called Ziyun to freshen up for her. When the grooming was finished, Mother Liu, the housekeeper beside Mrs. Tong, came to invite Yin Cheng, and Mother Liu said very unceremoniously: "Second young lady, the old lady invites you to the front hall." I hope that the second young lady can give our old lady face. ”

Yin Cheng said with a smiling face: "Mother Liu, you are serious, Yin Cheng is just a junior, how dare you bother the old lady to wait for a long time?" Ziyun, take it. ”

Ziyun happily took out three hundred taels of silver tickets from the drawer at the bottom of the dresser and handed them to Yin Cheng. Yin Cheng stuffed the three hundred taels of silver tickets to Liu's mother. Although Liu's mother accepted the three hundred taels of silver, her facial expression was still serious and awe-inspiring, so Liu's mother made a gesture of please, and Yin Cheng walked to the front hall tremblingly.

On the way to the front hall, passing by the garden of Tongfu, the road is full of flowers, the birds are chirping in the trees, there are butterflies flying from time to time, there is also a small lake in the garden of Tongfu, the spring water is rocky, and the sound is loud, and the pleasant atmosphere suddenly infected Yin Cheng, who was originally afraid, and was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but go a lot faster.

After a while, he came to the front hall, and when he looked at the front hall, it was black and pressing, and he looked directly inside, and it was Mrs. Tong, the head of the Tong Mansion, who was sitting in danger. Yin Cheng hurriedly walked inside, saluted respectfully, and said, "Yin Cheng has seen the old lady, the lord, the lady and the elders. ”

The old lady didn't let Yin Cheng get up, she didn't raise her eyelids to take a look, and said slowly: "Yin Cheng, since you married into our Tong family, then you will always be a member of our Tong family, no matter what happened to you before, but now you are a member of our Tong family, everything must be for the sake of the Tong family, for the sake of Mingyuan, understand?" ”

When Yin Cheng heard those words, he was naturally very uncomfortable, but said to the old lady with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, old lady, Yin Cheng understands." Yin Cheng will definitely abide by her daughter-in-law's duty and do her part well. ”

"That's fine, get up."

"Thank you, old lady." So Ziyun hurriedly helped her up, because she had been kneeling on the ground for too long, her knees had already been numb, so it was very difficult to get up again, and in the eyes of the old lady, she was very unhappy, but she didn't say anything.

That Liu's mother sighed and said, "The newcomer toasts tea." As soon as the words fell, someone served tea to Yin Cheng, Yin Cheng walked up to the old lady with the tea and said, "Old lady, please use tea." ”

Although the old lady took the cup, opened the tea lid and scraped it on the edge of the cup, saying that it was too late, the old lady splashed the tea on Yin Cheng's face, and the hot tea flowed down Yin Cheng's cheeks, which also surprised everyone. Yin Cheng wanted to resist, but was dragged by Ziyun beside her, she looked at Ziyun, and Ziyun shook her head at her. She suppressed her anger, knelt down and said, "Granddaughter-in-law is terrified, I don't know what I did wrong?" As soon as the words fell, he regretted it, and thought: It's been so late, and it's still knowingly asking, what a fool!

The old lady snorted coldly, knowing that Mother Liu helped her up, and after Yin Cheng got up, she said, "Thank you for the old lady's forgiveness." ”

And the old lady ignored her.

Then Yin Cheng toasted the tea to everyone one by one, and just after the tea, he heard the little guy outside the door shouting: "The third young master has arrived, the second young lady, the third young lady has arrived." ”

Coming in front of him was the third young master of Tong Mansion, Tong Mingyu, he was handsome and handsome, fascinated thousands of girls, and was the same age as Yin Cheng. followed by the second young sister Tong Wanyan and the third young lady Tong Wanjing.

The three of them said at the same time: "Second sister-in-law is good." ”

Yin Cheng was confused and at a loss, Mother Liu came over, pointed to the three of them and said, "This is the son of the second aunt, the third young master, this is the eldest daughter of the lady, the second miss, this is the second daughter, and the third miss." ”

Yin Cheng returned the salute: "Brother and sister Tong'an." As he spoke, he gave each of them a red envelope of five hundred taels. They took a sip of their tea and went down. After taking them away, Mother Liu pressed Yin Cheng down and formed a kneeling position. Mother Liu said to Yin Cheng: "Second young lady, you must already know the rules of our Tong Mansion!" Even the master must abide by the rules, and he should say hello on time, and today your tea ceremony is half a quarter of an hour late, this is one; A woman should obey the three obedience and four virtues, and this morning, instead of obeying her husband's wishes, you turned against him, which is two; The old lady did not listen carefully when she taught, and this is three. In this way, it should be punished heavily, but the old lady is merciful, so the punishment is light, a total of 20 family laws, can be enforced. ”

When Yin Cheng heard this, he was taken aback, this was only the second day of coming to Tong's house, and he couldn't bear it, and he was going to be beaten, so he was very depressed in his heart, and said: "The old lady forgives her sins, her granddaughter-in-law didn't understand the rules on the first day she entered the house, and I hope the old lady will spare this time." After Yin Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Tong Mingyuan, and Yin Cheng knew in his heart that it was Tong Mingyuan's complaint.

Tong Mingyuan smiled evilly at her, because Tong Mingyuan just wanted to see her make a fool of herself, and he said the matter again, so Yin Cheng was punished so heavily. Tong Mingyuan wants the wind and rain in the Tong Mansion, and the old lady dotes on this grandson very much, so Tong Mingyuan is cynical and angry.

Liu's mother clapped her hands, and someone took Yin Cheng out to punish her. Yin Cheng just put down the twenty boards without saying a word. She was helped into the front hall, Yin Cheng had tears in her eyes, and said, "Thank you for the old lady's teaching." ”

The old lady didn't look at her, and said slowly: "I've been tossing all morning today, I'm tired, go back and rest." After saying that, he got up and went back to his room, and the others dispersed and went back to their rooms.

Yin Cheng limped into the room, looked up, and found Shao Jihong standing by the window, not knowing what he was thinking. She stood in place, stalemate for a while, Shao Jihong turned around and found that Yin Cheng was looking at him with tears in his eyes, Shao Jihong walked up quickly, took her hand, and helped her sit down, but as soon as Yin Cheng touched the chair, he took a breath of cool air, Shao Jihong also noticed it, and hurriedly asked: "Cheng'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Ji Hong, I'm fine, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you can leave quickly."

"Cheng'er, I just can't rest assured of you, so I came to see you, I wanted to ......" Shao Jihong didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Ziyun, Ziyun ran in from outside, and shouted as he ran: "Miss, Madam is here." ”

When Ziyun ran in, he found that the two were looking at each other, and he didn't know what to say, Ziyun stood there very embarrassed, and whispered, "Miss, Madam is here." ”

As soon as Ziyun's words fell, Mrs. Tong walked in, although she heard that Shao Jihong was visiting, she didn't expect him to appear in Yin Cheng's room so boldly. Mrs. Tong also pretended not to know anything and said to Shao Jihong: "The master is looking for you." Go ahead. ”

"Okay, Mrs. Tong will leave first." Saying that, Shao Jihong left, when he left, Mrs. Tong only opened all the people around her, Mrs. Tong said to Yin Cheng earnestly: "Cheng'er, I know that you have wronged you by marrying Mingyuan, Mingyuan, he was spoiled by his grandmother, you have to bear with me, okay?" ”

"Mother, you are joking, your daughter-in-law will definitely treat Mingyuan well."

"Cheng'er, I have to say more, no matter how bad Mingyuan is, he is also your husband and the only one to rely on in this life. The past is gone, so don't think about it anymore. You have to cherish the situation in front of you. I'm begging you for my mother. ”

"Mother, you are serious, I will live a good life with Mingyuan."

"That's good." Mrs. Tong nodded, called the maid, handed her the ointment in her hand, and said, "Take care of your injuries, it's okay, I'll go back first." With that, he walked out. After she left, Ziyun entered the house and said, "Miss, if it hurts, just shout out." ”

"It's okay, help me go and rest for a while."

"Okay." Ziyun helped her to the bed, Yin Cheng endured the pain and lay on the bed, and took out the note that Shao Jihong gave herself from his cuffs. wrote: Five days later, the old place will not be gone.

In a blink of an eye, it was lunch time, Mrs. Tong went to invite the old lady to have lunch together, when the old lady went to the front hall, but there was no Yin Cheng, the old lady was very displeased, and said, "What about Yin Cheng?" ”

Mrs. Tong served a bowl of soup for the old lady, handed it to her, and said, "Mother, Cheng'er should have been subjected to family law in the morning, and her daughter-in-law asked her to rest well, so she didn't have to come over, and when she was better, she came to ask her mother for peace." ”

The old lady did not answer Mrs. Tong's words, but looked at Tong Mingyuan with a doting face, and said, "Mingyuan, your father will go north to fight tomorrow, and the family's business depends on you." ”

Tong Mingyuan's face was a little ugly, no one in the Tong Mansion knew that he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he had to aspire to be a general like his father since he was a child, Tong Mingyuan understood the meaning of the old lady's exercise, and he had to say: "Grandmother, don't worry, my grandson will do it." ”

Because of these words, Mrs. Tong's face was happy and very happy, and the whole lunch was full of joy. After dinner, Tong Mingyuan returned to the house and saw Yin Cheng lying on the bed reading a book, Tong Mingyuan walked forward and asked, "Hey, are you okay?" I didn't mean to embarrass you this morning. ”

Yin Cheng ignored him, blindly looked at the book in his hand, Tong Mingyuan asked several times, Yin Cheng ignored him, and finally, he was annoyed by Tong Mingyuan's question, and said coldly: "Why don't you try." ”

"Hey, I'm looking for your help. My father went north, and the family's shops relied on me, and you know that I don't know anything about these things, and you have been exposed to them since I was a child, so I want to give them to you. ”
