Chapter 55: Punishment
The big hair opened the door and entered the house, pointing at Li Cui and scolding. The light in the room was dim, this big hair scolded twice, only to see the second grandmother who got up from the chair, and was immediately stupid, the person in front of him was really fairy and jade, such a stunning world, that Li Cui's appearance made him salivate, and he couldn't sleep and remembered, compared with Mengxi, it was like a crow and a phoenix, and for a while saliva flowed out of the elder, forgetting who his father and mother were.
Mengxi had already learned from Zhiqiu's mouth that this was the evil young man Zhang Damao, and he had long hated what he had done, but at this time, seeing him staring at him like this, his face immediately turned cold.
The little guy brought by Mengxi had also followed in at this time, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly shouted:
"Bold fanatics, when I saw my Xiao family's housewife, I dared to be so rude and didn't kneel!"
Saying that, he stepped forward and pressed Zhang Damao, and several people brought by Zhang Damao were all stunned by Mengxi's stunning beauty, and they were shocked, as soon as they heard that this person was the housewife of the Xiao family, they said in their hearts, only the Xiao family can afford to marry such a woman, they are kicked to the iron plate today, how can they care about Zhang Damao's life or death, and in a blink of an eye, there is no one, it is really faster than the rabbit. Mengxi ordered the little servant to tie up Zhang Damao, and sent the two of them to the official mansion with Xiao Jun's name.
After everything was dealt with, Mengxi sat down again, the Li family saw that Zhang Damao was sent to the government, and suddenly their spirits were bright, and they smiled, Li's father's illness was half gone at that time, and the tears of emotion greeted their eyes, and the family was even more desperate for the second grandmother, and chatted for a while about the related matters of the pharmacy, Mengxi signaled Zhiqiu to take out the silver prepared yesterday, this is still before the marriage, Aunt Zhao was afraid that she would suffer in her husband's house, so she secretly stuffed it to her, and it was also Aunt Zhao's half-life savings, a total of dozens of taels of silver, In addition, I made up 100 taels from the account office yesterday.
took the silver and handed it to Li Du, Li Du was willing to take it, and after pushing for a long time, Mengxi had no choice but to say:
"Brother Li, this is not for you, this is the upfront capital of the medicine hall, you take the silver first, wait for the shop to be found, pay the deposit first, and then tell Zhiqiu about it."
Li Du reluctantly accepted it, and Mengxi and the others said goodbye. As soon as I went out, I ran into the little girl who sent Zhang Damao back, and when I saw the second grandmother coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Back to the second grandmother, the little one has sent Zhang Damao to the government and personally handed it over to the county master, and when the county master saw the second master's post, he promised again and again that he must strictly investigate the matter and punish him severely. "
Mengxi nodded and responded, a few people got into the car, sat in the car, and listened to the people on the side of the road talking about the evil young Zhang Damao was finally imprisoned, all of them clapped their hands and said that some people even bought firecrackers to celebrate, the whole town was as lively as the New Year, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the brand of Xiao Mansion is really easy to use, it seems that he can use him to pull the banner and make tiger skins when he goes out of the house in the future, and seek more benefits for himself.
When they arrived at the place agreed with Hongzhu, it was already a quarter of a minute, Hongzhu was in a hurry, and when she saw that the carriage of the second grandmother had arrived, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop the second grandmother who was about to get off:
"My grandmother, you can count it back, no matter how late it is, the door of the house will be locked soon, we should not be able to enter or exit, and we will alarm the housekeeper and the eldest lady again, and make the second master angry"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to get in the car and go home.
Mengxi was about to cry when she saw Hongzhu, and she was a little embarrassed, but she just said that she was greedy for fun and forgot the time.
When the group hurried back to Xiao's house, the little guy on the second door was already about to close the door and lock it, Hongzhu hurriedly stepped forward to stuff some broken silver to the little guy, and said some good things, and the little guy who was guarding the door let Mengxi's car into the house, while saying:
"The next time the girl goes out of the house, remember that she must come back on time, today fortunately, the eldest lady is busy with the matter of Zhang Luo's old lady Jun Ming incense and vows, otherwise it would have been closed long ago"
Hongzhu said yes again and again, and the group entered the mansion and went straight to Xiaoxiang Courtyard.
As soon as Mengxi helped Zhiqiu and Hongzhu and other maids to enter the main hall, she saw the second master sitting in the hall with a black face, Hongzhu subconsciously shivered, Mengxi had long been accustomed to the cold face of the second master for thousands of years, she thought that if she could see the second master's other expressions, it would be strange.
The maids had already stepped forward to say goodbye to the second master, and the second master only sat there playing with the wrench in his hand, without saying a word, seeing that the maid had asked for peace, Mengxi slowly stepped forward to bless:
"Second Master An, the concubine is out of the house for the first time, some novelty and playfulness, forget the time, come back late, please forgive the second master"
After Mengxi finished speaking, he stood there and waited for a long time before Xiao Jun's voice came:
"Come on, pull down the two minions who don't know the depths of Hongzhu and Zhiqiu, and slap their mouths ten times" The second master's words frightened the maids to kneel on the ground immediately, and begged the second master for mercy again and again. There were already two mothers-in-law on the side who stepped forward to pull Hongzhu and Zhiqiu, who were kneeling on the ground.
"Stop!"
Mengxi saw that her mother-in-law was really going to make a move, so she hurriedly called out to her mother-in-law, looked directly at the second master, slowly knelt down, and kowtowed to him:
"Second master, today's fact is that the concubine is at fault, it is the concubine who is greedy for fun and misses the time, and it has nothing to do with the maid who followed, and please let the second master let go of the two, and if you want to punish the concubine, you will punish one of the concubines"
Xiao Jun was stunned, he didn't expect that the willful she would really kneel, let alone that she would intercede for the two maids, he recognized that she had always been pampered, how could he care about the two maids?
"Okay, since you want to ask for punishment, then don't blame the master, this grandfather will punish you for three days of grounding, and think about it behind closed doors in the room."
Xiao Jun looked directly at Mengxi for a long time before he said coldly.
"Concubine Xie Second Master punishes."
Mengxi said lightly.
"Second master, today's incident is all the fault of the slave maid, and it has nothing to do with the second grandmother, begging the second master to spare the second grandmother and punish the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are willing to be punished on behalf of the second grandmother."
Zhiqiu knelt down and crawled in front of the second master, begging bitterly, she knew that today's matter was all for her, how could she let the second grandmother be punished on her behalf.
Xiao Jun said secretly, this maid is rare loyalty, and she has a deep love for protecting the master, I will punish you according to your words today, see if you will protect her in the future? Thinking of this, he shouted at the mother-in-law:
"Pull it down, slap it five times"
"Second master, don't!" Mengxi looked up at Xiao Jun and said.
"Pull it down," Xiao Jun repeated coldly.
"The concubine begged the second master to let Zhiqiu go, this matter has nothing to do with her, ask the second master for mercy"
"Pull it down, slap it ten times!"
Zhiqiu was pulled down, and in the face of the second master's domineering, Mengxi suddenly felt a trace of powerlessness, and there was a trace of hatred in her heart, she was in this mansion, and no one could protect her.
"Get up and set the table"
After Mengxi got up, he was already calm, as if nothing had happened just now, Hongzhu took the water from the maid, and waited for the second grandmother to wash her hands, at this time the meal was already set, Mengxi took the chopsticks handed by Hongxing, and began to give the second master a dish.
Xiao Jun saw Mengxi's calm face, as if it was not her who he punished just now, and it was not her who pleaded for mercy just now, he couldn't help but be more angry in his heart, and his face was even more gloomy.
