Chapter 32: The Limit
The eldest princess happily took the tea bowl in Lu Man's hand and took a sip, and said, "In the future, you must honor your elders, serve your husband, familiarize yourself with the "Female Commandments", and abide by women's morality." ”
Although the words were not good, Lu Man was relieved, and replied with a red face, "Yes, my granddaughter-in-law remembers her grandmother's teachings." ”
She took a forehead salute handed by Green Aya, and the girl next to the eldest princess took it.
After Lu Man got up, a girl brought up a support, and there was a set of jade heads on it, and Liu Ya stepped forward to take it.
Jiang Zhanwei bowed down again and said, "Grandmother, I'll take the Lu family to see my grandfather." ”
The eldest princess took his hand and patted it and smiled, "Good boy, grandmother knows that you are filial, go ahead." ”
Lu Man came to the bedroom. The old colt lay quietly on the bed, looking as usual. Lu Man was a little sad, probably only this unconscious old man's attitude towards himself was no different from others.
Lu Man kowtowed to the old horse very solemnly, offered tea, and said, "I wish my grandfather a speedy recovery, health and longevity." ”
A young man in his twenties took the tea on behalf of the old horse, and respectfully put the tea bowl on the old horse's mouth.
Jiang Zhanwei called the man's eldest brother, it should be Jiang Zhanju, the prince of the world.
Lu Man saluted the socks made for the old colt again, and Jiang Zhanju took it. After she got up, a girl brought a tray with a red envelope on it.
Back in the hall, a girl put the futon in front of the second husband and wife. Seeing that the third master didn't introduce the new daughter-in-law, the girl had to say, "This is the second master, the second lady." ”
Lu Man knelt down, kowtowed to the second master and said, "Daughter-in-law Lu has seen her father-in-law, I wish my father-in-law good health and all the best." ”
The second old man is very good-looking, with a white face and a slight beard, and a long jade body, it is said that he is the best-looking of the three brothers, and he is also very young, like his early thirties.
Lu Man was just about to get the tea bowl handed over by the girl, when he heard the second master snort coldly and reprimanded, "I hate women who can't carry clearly, who have no talent and no virtue, and who are still looking for death and life." If it weren't for my father's old man, I would have divorced you. The voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing through the hall.
Lu Man hurriedly admitted his mistake and said, "My daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, and she will never do it again." ”
The second old man snorted coldly again, "Hmph, it's quite quick to admit your mistakes, how did you do that shameful thing in the first place?" Not only did you lose your own face, but also your husband's family. Although Zhan Wei is a concubine, he is also the concubine of the Changting Princess's Mansion, and he is my son, not a ...... you can humiliate."
His words made Lu Man very embarrassed, and his face was red. Where is there a father-in-law who entangles his daughter-in-law's mistakes in public like this, not only making her faceless, but also losing his own and his son's face. I really want to teach a lesson, and I should let his wife or mother teach him a lesson, it's really not level. It seems that the second room is the least suitable for family members, and the second master is the youngest among the three brothers, not without reason.
She had to stubbornly reply, "It was my daughter-in-law's fault before." The third master is like a jade gentleman, talented and elegant, and it is a blessing for his daughter-in-law to be able to climb high to the third master. ”
The second master ignored Lu Man, looked at Jiang Zhanwei and said, "For such a daughter-in-law who can't get on the stage, you will enter the barracks with your elders and ruin your future?" ”
Jiang Zhanwei bowed down and said, "The father clearly investigated, but the son was not angry. The Lu family is the daughter-in-law set by the elders for their son, and it is the son who marries into the door for his grandfather to rejoice. These days, she not only inherits filial piety to her grandfather, but also massages her grandfather every day, which is not so unbearable. As for the son going to the military camp, it is to serve the court, which has nothing to do with the Lu family, and the grandmother has agreed. ”
The voice is warm, not hurried, but the words are aggressive. Lu Man was a little surprised and warned her to be patient, but it was really hard to think about being able to talk back to her father for her.
Second Master Jiang didn't expect that this son who couldn't beat a fart with ten sticks would dare to openly talk back to him, or for this woman who couldn't get on the stage, he was so angry that his face was red, and he scolded, "I don't know what to do, bastard, Lao Tzu is for your good, I don't want you to mistake yourself for this woman......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Houye without giving face, "Second brother, there are some things left for your father and son to say in private." Today, the new daughter-in-law recognizes her relatives and talks about business first. ”
The second master was not only afraid of his father and daughter-in-law, but also of his eldest brother, so he snorted angrily and glared at Jiang Zhan's only eye. Seeing Lu Man raise the tea bowl, he took the tea bowl and touched his lips and put it down, a girl behind him handed over a red envelope, and Liu Ya stepped forward to take it. For Lu Man's filial piety socks, he didn't even look at it.
Lu Man kowtowed to the second lady Lin again, but Lin only said lightly, "Honor your elders, serve your husband well, and do it yourself." Then let the girl give her a red envelope.
has an arrogant attitude, and he doesn't even bother to look at Lu Man.
This mother-in-law is much more level than the second master, she didn't scold Lu Man openly, and her voice was not loud, but she didn't give her any dignity, which made her even more shameless.
Then, I went to make tea for Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Hou and Mr. and Mrs. the Third Master.
These people knew that the old concubine had improved because of Lu Man, and the eldest princess had great hopes for her, and the eldest princess's attitude just now had explained everything. So although their attitude was not good, they didn't dwell on it too much, and only said a few words that asked her to read more "Female Commandments", keep women's virtues, and be chaste and virtuous.
Under the witness of dozens of pairs of eyes, for all the accusations, reprimands, disdain, Lu Man knelt, kowtowed, and served tea, except to admit his mistakes in humiliation and promise, there was no other choice at all.
The tea ceremony of the heavyweight elders has finally ended, and Lu Man's endurance has reached the limit. It wasn't her fault, but she had to bear the infamy and blame. In front of so many people, her self-esteem was trampled into the dust. These people knew that she had achieved some "results" for the old concubine Ma Chongxi, but they still treated her like this, making it clear that they did not take her, the daughter of a petty official and the daughter-in-law of a concubine, in their eyes.
However, she never shed a single tear. Crying is the most humiliating thing, and it is really defeated.
When she got up, her body shook, and a large solid hand held her arm before she stood firm.
Seeing Lu Man like this, Master Jiang San couldn't bear it anymore, and said again, "Zhan Wei's daughter-in-law, the elders are also doing this for your good." Advice is good for deeds, and good medicine is good for disease. ”
Lu Man turned around and blessed him, "Remember the teachings of the third uncle." ”
Jiang Hou Ye and the third master saw him for the first time after Jiang Zhanwei joined the army, and asked him about joining the army, asking him to think about it carefully, not to be rash, and said that the old horse did not want his children and grandchildren to join the army. Seeing that Jiang Zhanwei insisted, he didn't persuade anymore.
Lu Man was personally led to an old lady by Jiang Zhanwei. The old lady, in her fifties, dignified and richly dressed, was looking at her with disdain. Because it is too majestic, it appears that the nasolabial folds are deeper, and the lips are as thin as a thick line. When you look at this person's face, it is not easy to get along.
