Chapter 22: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat
At that time, Sheng Mingzhu was rushing to the Sheng family in a fierce manner.
And the Zheng family was still sitting in the hall drinking tea, Zheng's mother thought that this was natural and seamless, and asked the maid next to her, "How is the young master?" ”
Although Zheng Rui is a man, he was thrown into the water by Sheng Mingzhu for an hour, pampered, and when he came back, he had a high fever, and the maid hung his head and said, "I took the medicine, and the heat was dissipated, and now I am much better." ”
Zheng's mother was still worried, so she went to see it with the maid.
Zheng Rui had also woken up, and Zheng's mother hurriedly went up to hold his hand, "Don't worry, that Sheng Mingzhu is so deceitful, I will find a way to admit her as a concubine, and train her well in the future to be angry for you!" ”
Zheng Rui coughed twice, hating Sheng Mingzhu very much in his heart, and he was still afraid of her family background, "But her father is a mansion after all, if he really doesn't want to marry me, what can he do?" If she marries into our family and starts a young lady's temper in the future, what can we do with her? ”
Mother Zheng snorted, "Even the emperor can't take care of the affairs of the backyard." Marrying into our family, that is a concubine, her father returned to Emperor Jingtianguang, and let her starve to death in the mansion, and she didn't care about it. If she still pinched her value and didn't want to be a concubine, her mother would ruin her reputation, and she would dare to be so rampant in the future. ”
Zheng's mother loved her son, and when Zheng Rui came back that night, he was covered in water stains and his face was pale. Knowing that it was Sheng Mingzhu's doing, she was already angry, and someone took Sheng Mingzhu's handkerchief and said this strategy, she didn't have anything to do, and she took a Futai lady as a concubine, which would be more conducive to Zheng Rui's future political career.
"You have a good rest, and your mother will handle everything in the future."
Zheng's mother comforted Zheng Rui and was about to lie down, but there were suddenly countless crackling sounds outside the door. She frowned, and was about to scold her subordinates for protecting the courtyard, when she heard the voices of people in the front yard, "I'll go out and take a look, you lie down and don't move......" Soon followed the subordinates all the way to the front yard.
"Smash me!" Sheng Mingzhu threw a bone whip in his hand, and slapped it back and forth on the door of the Zheng family, "Smash it on that plaque!" ”
Before Zheng's mother came out, Sheng Mingzhu kicked open a dowry box, "So that everyone can come and see - what kind of spring and autumn dream is this house of etiquette, and what kind of dirty things are being done." ”
The box was filled with silk of various colors, but it was not a good thing. The Zheng family used such a dowry to propose marriage, who did they insult?
"How can you, Zheng Rui, marry me? And take me as a concubine? Sheng Mingzhu put his hands on his waist and stepped on the dowry box, "Ladies and gentlemen, this Zheng family is so shameless-" She took out a handkerchief that she snatched from Master Sheng Qi today, "Come to my Sheng family to propose marriage, and accept the daughter of a local mansion as a concubine, I will ask you what kind of face you have?" By virtue of this handkerchief, say that I have fornicated with you? ”
Zheng's mother arrived outside the door, but she didn't dare to go out, the porcelain outside crackled and smashed, and everyone was afraid of smashing her face.
"Go, get me the cigarettes!" Mother Zheng's chest kept panting, and before the words fell, Sheng Yan had already walked over from the path, "Auntie, I heard early in the morning that Sheng Mingzhu was coming to make trouble, are you okay?" ”
"You still have the face to say that it's all your bad idea!" Zheng's mother said angrily, "Now that everyone is blocking my door, even if she is willing to marry my son as a concubine, I will never want such a daughter-in-law!" She knew that Sheng Mingzhu had always been rude, but she had never seen any daughter like this.
Sheng Yan hurriedly comforted, "Auntie, don't worry. Everything is a foregone conclusion, and now she is also dying, and she is only ruining her reputation. ”
"But she's making trouble like this, but my family is plain and makes people laugh!" Mother Zheng shook her veil, "My Zheng family has been in Bingzhou City for so many years, and I have never lost such ugliness!" ”
"I'm a sister with her, don't worry, aunt, I'll go out and have a look." After Sheng Yan finished speaking, he walked out.
Coloring the two men with wounds on their faces next to them, they glanced at each other and slowly opened the door. In front of him was a porcelain that flew over, Sheng Yan hurriedly flashed his face to dodge, Sheng Mingzhu saw the person, and smiled coldly, "Finally willing to open the door and come out?" ”
"Mingzhu, don't make any more trouble, don't spoil your own way in the future."
"Am I breaking my way?" Sheng Mingzhu asked rhetorically, and directly threw his embroidered handkerchief on Sheng Yan's face, turned back to the many people who came to see the excitement and said, "Am I doing anything wrong, I have my own judgment, but whether this Zheng family is doing shameless things, whether it is forcibly marrying a people's daughter, you will decide!" ”
After bowing to the people, Sheng Mingzhu looked back at the Sheng Yan, "The Zheng family took my handkerchief and said that I had a personal relationship with Zheng Rui and wanted me to marry Zheng Rui as a concubine." The one in front of me is the bride that the Zheng family will marry in the future-" After introducing Sheng Yan, Sheng Mingzhu beckoned, and a servant brought a box.
"The handkerchief that saved the gold wire is indeed mine, and I think the thief also knows that my Sheng family's embroidered veil is not easy to forge, so I thought it was evidence of iron." Sheng Mingzhu smiled, "It's a pity that I have a box of such gold silk handkerchiefs, others think that the gold silk is valuable, and I can't give it away indiscriminately, so I think it is unique." It's a pity that I've always had such a temperament, and I don't like to use the same as others. ”
"My Sheng family has a big business, and there are always some people who come to fight the autumn breeze. So I made these many veils, and the veils I used, the foot of which is the word pearl, is my name. And for the giver to use, only one bead word was embroidered, Sheng Yan, see for yourself what words are embroidered on your handkerchief? ”
Sheng Yan touched the handkerchief, inexplicably a little flustered.
"In the entire Bingzhou City, who doesn't know that you Sheng Mingzhu is doing evil?" Mother Zheng couldn't help it, and came out and said, "Now I'm coming to my Sheng house again, go quickly, my temple is small, and I can't accommodate your big Buddha!" ”
Sheng Mingzhu made a look, and the entourage opened the box, took out the embroidered handkerchief inside, and saw the big girl and little daughter-in-law nearby, so they sent it up, the embroidered handkerchief was exquisite, and there was gold wire, no one didn't love it.
"Everyone can pass by, and the merits are also determined. This is far from the state city, and it is not your Zheng family's turn to cover the sky with one hand! Speaking of this, Sheng Mingzhu's tone changed, and his eyes suddenly turned red, "Sheng Yan, let me ask you, why is the handkerchief I gave you before gone?" Am I rude, did I offend you because of my vexatious trouble, and I deserve to marry into the Zheng Mansion as a concubine and serve you for the rest of my life? ”
Sheng Mingzhu spoke, and there were people around him who whispered. The first is that the handman is short, and the second is that although the eldest lady of the Sheng family is domineering, her attitude is unyielding, she is just asking for reason, and it is true that the Zheng family is too deceitful.
People have a weak heart, "I said why things are so weird, how can there be a reason for a daughter from a mansion to be a concubine?" ”
"That's right, although the young lady of the Sheng family is rude, she is also a lady of everyone, there is no reason to do such a thing. But her cousin is really a poisonous woman. ”
Another humane, "I don't think this Zheng family is a good person, persecuting a little girl for no reason, the little girl of the Sheng family is domineering, and now she is only thirteen years old, and she is not an adult, where does the reason come from?" ”
"What does a woman's family know, marrying the daughter of Futai, it will be the road to the top in the future......"
There are still people who are constantly discussing, Sheng Mingzhu wiped off the chili powder under his eyes, and his eyes are still a little red, "My reputation has never been very good." Now I don't want this reputation, it's just that I'm here to talk about it today, you Zheng family toad wants to eat swan meat, and you do a lot of evil, I just jumped into the river and won't enter your dirty stinky yard! ”
After the words fell, he hurriedly ran away.
A column of people behind her quickly dispersed after her, and the farce seemed to be over.
It's just that Zheng's mother fell softly at the door of Zheng's house, and the plaque had already been smoked a few times by Sheng Mingzhu just now, and it was swaying, and the ceremonial house above was already crumbling. The passers-by next to him shook their heads and sighed when they saw it, and Zheng's mother saw it from the eyes of passers-by - the reputation of the Zheng family is gone, and the common saying that toads want to eat swan meat will accompany the Zheng family for a long time.
"My lord, are you still going?" Someone next to him asked Guan Ping.
He shook his head and couldn't help but laugh again, "It's not easy. But it's very simple, a very straightforward way to solve the problem, scolding at the door, straightforward and cute.
If a noble lady in Kyoto encountered such a thing, even the daughter of Emperor Laozi could only swallow her anger.
She really didn't care about fame - and she wasn't burdened by fame in the slightest.
"Let's go." It's been too long, and this time I really have to go.
——
The Zheng family was scattered, busy packing up things, and Sheng Yan also hurried back while people were not paying attention.
She had never made such a mistake in front of so many people, and when she came back, she was busy looking for water to drink, and she had a hunch that things would not be so simple. She had just remembered the Sheng Mingzhu she had known before.
Uncle Niang wanted to use her reputation to suppress Sheng Mingzhu, and she thought that she could use this opportunity to suppress her. When she entered Beijing in the future, she also had Sheng Mingzhu in her hand, so she didn't have to be afraid of her being aggressive. But she forgot Sheng Mingzhu's temperament, not mentioning her reputation, she has never been a reluctant character.
A vicious dog who wants to bite back in the mouth!
Sheng Yan was nervous, and was holding the teacup, but the door was suddenly opened, and she didn't react to the action for a moment. The gray-clothed man came in with a thug, went straight to the boudoir where the smoke was filled, smashed it when he saw it, and touched the jewelry box on the table with the smoke and a luxurious marquee.
The Chen family and Master Sheng Qi howled outside for a long time, but they were blocked by someone.
Sheng Mingzhu was surrounded by everyone in the middle, holding a whip in her hand, and when the gray clothes went over to present the jewelry box, her expression was like that of an evil bandit, "It's all here." ”
Gray Road. He felt that it was much cooler to follow the eldest lady to do evil and bully people than to kill people with adults, so he straightened his waist inexplicably.
"Sheng Yan, I gave you these things." Sheng Mingzhu said, "It's a pity that I'm straight, when I like you, I can give you anything, if I don't like you, I have to come back with everything."
She bullied her to the head, and Sheng Mingzhu would not save any face.
"Gray Coat, these things have been rewarded to you." She smiled, "I'm dirty with the things you've used." ”
The gray-clothed and dog-legged took over the jewelry box, and the dark guard commander also played the gratitude of a dog-legged man for getting the reward very professionally, "The little one thanked the eldest lady and smeared the eldest lady's liver and brain." ”
Sheng Yanqi no longer had the virtuous expression she had before, but Sheng Mingzhu didn't give her the slightest chance to refute, and said, "Smash, smash it for me!" ”
Master Sheng Qi and the Chen family couldn't stop it.
"Seventh Master, give you face and call you Seventh Master. If you really want to trouble me, I will smash your house today, and you can go to my father tonight to complain! See if he's to me or to you! With that, she turned around and walked away.
The gray clothes stopped people, and the group left.
Chen looked at the dilapidated house that had been smashed, and he couldn't help but faint. Sheng Yan and the whole family next to him were crying and scolding, Sheng Yan sat on the ground in a daze, and pinched his handkerchief on his chest.
It doesn't matter, she still has an uncle.
