Qu You was stunned, only covered his face with his hands, and looked at Mrs. Liu with tears in his eyes, not understanding what he had done wrong.

"It's no big or small, Madame, this is talking to Miss Biao, when will it be your turn to be a little maid?" Xianglu is a first-class maid who waits beside Mrs. Liu, and her behavior has always been spicy, which is diametrically opposed to Mrs. Liu's gentle temperament, but it is very important.

"Uncle, it's Ah Zhi who is rude." Xun Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, took the key from the maid's hand, and handed it to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu raised her hand and took the key leisurely, and then put it in the hand of the maid Xianglu, and said slowly: "Although our Anfu is not a Zhumen noble, but it is also a scholarly family, when the old lady An was alive, he was a high school leader, and then he was born step by step, and he also achieved the position of a pavilion elder, since then, the men and women in the family have studied poetry and books since childhood, and the women in the boudoir have always been cautious in words and deeds, abide by etiquette, and have never made any mistakes. ”

Mrs. Liu finished this paragraph slowly, and then looked at Xun Xuan gently, her face was full of love, and she comforted slowly: "Ah Zhi, you are also a woman, and you will marry sooner or later in the future, you should learn more from your cousins, and don't listen to the nonsense of the people and do something unsuitable for your identity." ”

The implication is that she is laughing at her for being born in the Wuguo Mansion and behaving rudely, and she can't be on the stage?

Xun Xuan smiled, lowered her eyes and said: "What my aunt said is that Ah Zhi was born in a general, and she is usually negligent in some red tape, and Ah Zhi will pay attention to it in the future and don't worry about her aunt." ”

Anfu is a civil official, and the An family naturally has a little more literati sour atmosphere, don't say that the little sister Xun Zhi, even if Xun Xuan, who did not enter the palace back then, accompanied her mother to Anfu during the New Year's holidays, she always felt uncomfortable with many constraints.

In Xun Xuan's eyes, the women of the An family can be regarded as knowledgeable and well-informed and small jade at most.

Mrs. Liu was a little dissatisfied with Xun Xuan's attitude, what is red tape? Aren't you making fun of her cowardice? Mrs. Liu was worried about this, but it was inconvenient to say it, so she had to say without pain: "Ah Zhi can think like this, and my aunt is very pleased." ”

"As for Qu You, the maid, not only did you not dissuade the master from making a mistake, but you even added fuel to the fire and stole the back door key, the crime is increased by one degree, and it should be punished!" Madame Liu's voice sounded soft and kind, but the majesty in her words did not diminish in the slightest.

"Punishment! Naturally, it should be punished! Xun Xuan's eyes turned slightly, and her eyes were full of sincerity, "Uncle, if my master personally punishes his subordinates, is it in line with the rules of the house?" ”

Mrs. Liu was comfortable with Xun Xuan's knowledge, and her tone was naturally much kinder: "You are the master, and it is natural and righteous to punish your subordinates, and it is in accordance with the rules." ”

"Ah Zhi understands," Xun Xuan's slightly drooping chin lifted slightly, and her gaze swept over the crowd of people with low eyebrows and lowered heads.

I saw her slowly walk up to one of the mothers-in-law, opened her lips and said, "Come on, drag the janitor out and give her forty lashes." ”

The girl's voice was quite soft, but the words she spit out made the servants present feel a chill on their backs.

The janitor was stunned for a moment, then changed her previous attitude of being submissive, knelt down hurriedly, and kowtowed in the direction of Mrs. Liu: "What's wrong with the old slave?" Please also ask the master to make it clear? ”

This is seeking refuge from Mrs. Liu.
