Chapter Seventy-Two: Preparing for Punishment
The second old lady turned her face and glared at the third old lady, thinking that it was the root of her tongue chewing.
The old lady glanced at her lightly and said, "You don't have to look at her, it's not what she said, it's that I listened to the people talking when I entered the city gate." ”
The second old lady retracted her gaze and snorted coldly, "It's just a few things, which man doesn't put a few in the house before getting married, and it doesn't work for our family?" Hua Junzhi is her sweetheart, and she can't tolerate other people's nonsense, so she lowered her face to the old lady at the moment, got up and left, "I'm full, so I won't accompany me." ”
Wu and Qianniang couldn't stay any longer, so they put down the dishes and chopsticks and bowed and retired together.
The old lady leaned coldly, didn't say anything, pulled the third old lady to sit beside her, raised her chopsticks and said, "Come, let's eat." ”
Manniang got the permission of Princess Xiang to let her stay at her mother's house for three days, and the night before she returned, the old lady called her to her room, greeted her for a while, and then told her the purpose of bringing Jiao Niang this time.
Manniang hesitated, who would like to send other women to her husband's side, and her relationship with Ying Suiliang has just improved recently.
The old lady didn't know during this time, some time ago Ying Suiliang was infected with an epidemic from somewhere, which was extremely contagious, and his concubines who stuck to him every day saw that he was not lightly ill, and they hid far away, only she was waiting by her side. In order to take care of him, Manniang stayed awake all night, waiting by his side day and night, and fainted due to the hard work and physical exhaustion of the past few days.
As the so-called adversity sees the truth, when Ying Suiliang woke up and knew, he was greatly moved, maybe he had experienced a life and death, he was not as reckless as before, he accepted his heart, no longer went out to have fun, and was much better to Manniang than before, and gradually alienated those concubines, in January, most of the time was in her room.
"Are you afraid that she will enter the mansion and take away your favor?" Seeing that Manniang didn't speak for a long time, the old lady who was still with her just now quickly lowered her heat, and asked with a cold face.
Manniang has been under the old lady's knees for many years, and she knows her temperament, and if she says something unpleasant, she will turn her face. She smiled and followed her, "That's not it, if my sister can come into the house to accompany me, it's too late for me to be happy." After a pause, he said, "But will this not wronged my sister, a person like her, who is so prominent, to my family's unproductive one, isn't it a waste of her." ”
The old lady disagreed, "There are bad things that are not bad, she is a concubine, in the past, when the concubines of the family got married, they would accompany a few concubines to be concubines." With her identity, it is her great blessing to be able to marry the son. ”
Manniang hesitated, "But-"
The old lady frowned, and made a final decision, "Don't do it, this matter is so decided, next month I will celebrate my birthday, I will invite Princess Xiang, and then I will tell her, you can also introduce the prince to look at each other, if he likes it, he will also remember your love." ”
Manniang squirmed and squirmed her lips, the old lady got up and waved her hand to go back to rest, Manniang sighed silently and left gloomily.
As soon as she received the letter early in the morning and knew that Jiao Niang was with her, Cheng cleaned up a house for her. How do you think that Qiao Niang saw that the two of them were like growing together, and they had to live together. Cheng couldn't resist her, so he had to agree, and repeatedly told her to take good care of Jiao Niang.
Jiao Niang only brought Shui Xiang and Qinghuan this time, Cheng was afraid that there would be not enough manpower, so he transferred two capable daughters-in-law from himself, all of whom looked good-looking, one called the second daughter-in-law and the other was the eldest daughter-in-law.
Jiao Niang knew that they were also a little decent in front of Cheng's, and they were not stingy in rewarding, and they gave each person a big purse as soon as they met.
Qiao Niang is an idle person, she used to be a girl at home, no one accompanied her crazy, but now she has a beautiful girl, now it's okay, but she can find a companion. And Jiao Niang is here, even if she is naughty, Cheng will not talk about her deeply, Jiao Niang said that she is using her as a shield.
Every time she said this, Qiao Niang smiled and hugged Jiao Niang to be coquettish, and the good sister screamed, so that Jiao Niang had no way to take her.
However, Jiao Niang also followed her to gain knowledge, and for the first time she knew what the old lady said about the gentle township, that day Qiao Niang couldn't help but say that she changed into men's clothes, and took her out of the corner gate and ran there directly.
Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty once called Zhao Hede's arms as the gentle township, as the name suggests, it is the hotbed of men, take this name, it is in line with this meaning, the gentle township of women, is a happy place for men.
Jiao Niang shouted at the door and was deceived, turned her head to leave, and was dragged in by Qiao Niang with brute force, and the mother of Gentle Township saw that she was handsome, and found three or five girls to accompany her.
Here Jiao Niang dodged like a cat and mouse and was taken advantage of by others, and Qiao Niang over there hugged people's waists and drank booze, laughing when she saw Jiao Niang's embarrassment.
But she didn't laugh for long, and when she came out, it happened that she ran into Hua Junze, who was patrolling the street, and took the two of them home.
Inevitably, there was a mixed reprimand for men and women, and then he was punished to the ancestral hall to kneel in front of his ancestors to reflect.
"Jiao Niang, I knew you were the best for me. At night, Jiao Niang secretly came and took the steamed buns and chicken legs she had hidden during dinner.
Qiao Niang took a big bite of the chicken leg, the chicken leg was covered with a layer of oil, and wiped her face, "I'm hungry, I've eaten several apples on the altar, but I'm not full, hehe, the chicken leg is still delicious, burp-"
"Eat slowly, don't choke. The lady poured a glass of water and patted her on the back gently.
Qiao Niang hiccuped loudly, "It's okay, it's better to choke to death than to starve to death, at least it's still a full ghost." She finished gnawing on the last bit of flesh on the bone, and looked at Jiao Niang with a blank eye, "Is there anything else?"
Jiao Niang took her helplessly, and took out another chicken leg wrapped in kraft paper from her sleeve, "I originally wanted you to take it out and eat it when you are hungry again." ”
Qiao Niang's eyes were foaming, she snatched it up, and swallowed, "I'm very hungry now, and I won't worry about it when I eat it together." She smiled at Jiao Niang while eating, smiling stupidly, "Jiao Niang, you are so good to me, next time I will take you to a better place." ”
"Do you want to take me out?" Jiao Niang was afraid, this time she didn't have to follow the kneeling hall was already a blessing.
"Of course, life can't give up the fun of life because of resistance, there are many fun places in Licheng, you finally come back, I always want to take you to play again. ”
Looking at Qiao Niang's appearance of wanting to do her best as a landlord, the dark clouds above Jiao Niang's head floated over, it was foreseeable that in the near future, it was inevitable that she would kneel in the ancestral hall with her, and she secretly decided in her heart, well, the food should be prepared first.
