Chapter 14: A monkey show
Gu Zhenzhu originally relied on her father's preference for her, and just wanted to open her mouth to sue, but she was scolded by Gu Shenghua with a blue face and swallowed her anger and did not say a word.
Mu Youchun, the eldest lady of the Mu family, was worried about not knowing how to persuade her, and watched the troublemaker's father appear, but now she is relieved. Thinking that the visitor was a guest, he was afraid that everyone would see the joke, so he said, "I'm really sorry, it's my maid who is not cautious enough." After speaking, he said to the servant with a slight accusation: "Why don't you pack up and wait for me to reward you?" ”
The maid bowed her head and said aggrievedly, "Yes, Miss." ”
If Gu Zhenzhu and Gu Panzhu hadn't quarreled just now, and everyone hadn't heard the truth of the matter from their words, maybe some people would have been led astray by the eldest lady and mistakenly thought that it was just a farce accidentally made by the maid. Now Mu Youchun's explanation is very sarcastic. Some guests recognized Gu Shenghua and knew that he was just a rich and powerless salt official, so they despised him very much, and no longer discussed in a low voice as carefully as he had just now, but directly sarcastic as if his mouth was not closed.
"It wasn't the maid who accidentally got them, did he?"
"Of course not, didn't they recruit all of them just now?"
"Well, we all heard it. The second lady dragged the eldest lady, and the eldest lady kicked the second miss. ”
"No, no. It was the eldest lady who kicked the maid, splashed hot water, scalded the second lady, and affected herself. ”
"What's the matter, when this is their back garden?"
"People think this is the stage."
Hearing the surrounding discussions, Gu Zhenzhu and Gu Panzhu gradually calmed down, and they felt the gaze from all directions, especially when Mu Youchun said this, the two of them were even more embarrassed. If they still know to find the reason from themselves, maybe they can still be saved, but unfortunately, there is a kind of person in this world, no matter what bad things happen, they think that it will never be themselves who is wrong. They thought that Mu Youchun was deliberately embarrassing them, and they didn't even want to see Mu Youchun in their hearts, but they were the daughter of the overseer and the younger sister of the young marshal, so they had to swallow their anger and dare not lose their temper with her.
Mu Youchun would not know what they were thinking, and continued to do his hospitable. At such times, there must always be a person who comes out to take the blame, and it cannot be a guest, it cannot be a host, then it can only be a servant. Receiving guests, to make the guests happy, is not only a tutor, but also a necessary quality of ladies and ladies.
Mu Youchun smiled decently and said to Gu Zhenzhu and Gu Panzhu: "I will definitely teach her a good lesson when I go back, so that you will be frightened." I apologize to the two girls for our mishospitality. If you don't like it, go to the attic and rest for a while, and I'll have the girls clean up. ”
There were many men present, and it was definitely inconvenient to wear wet clothes, but Gu Zhenzhu and Gu Panzhu didn't dare to agree casually, and they were waiting for Gu Shenghua to make a statement.
Speaking of Gu Shenghua, he tried his best to sharpen his head and want to climb the high branch of the Overseer's Mansion. If normally he didn't have the qualifications to set foot in the Overseer's Palace, this time it was because the Overseer wanted to find a partner for his son, and asked all the young ladies of the officials to participate, otherwise he might hang out here.
Well, today, in front of his colleagues, in front of the Overseers, he was like a monkey show in the Overseer's Mansion, and he felt that he was now a bare-bottomed race walker (China calls a marathon race), and he was embarrassed and reappeared in front of everyone.
