Chapter 115: Reprimand
Chapter 115: Reprimand
The Cao family had met with Shen San twice, but he had never seen his family, in the best relationship between Shen San and Gu Leyun, she was pregnant and inconvenient to go out, and Shen San's wife Zhao was also sick, so naturally she didn't see anyone, and then they gradually became estranged, Shen San's wife died and remarried, and then they left Jiankang and completely lost their intersection.
The woman standing in the hall, about thirty years old, was dignified and beautiful, but because of her cold eyebrows and eyes, she seemed majestic and unapproachable.
This is Mrs. Shen, the Cao family hurriedly stood up, and her daughter once said that the mother-in-law of the Shen family is gentle and loving, and only the mother-in-law is the best for her in the whole family.......
"Cao's has seenβ" she bowed her head and saluted.
Mrs. Shen San stretched out her hand and waved, "No need to be polite." β
"Madame, please be seated." Cao Shi bowed his head and said.
The servants, who were shocked by this lady's momentum, came back to their senses and hurriedly cleaned up the broken soup bowls.
Mrs. Shen San was also not polite, and sat down in the middle, only at this time did she sweep her gaze to the Cao family.
Such women were everywhere, and she withdrew her gaze with a single glance.
"Cao, you are so bold" Mrs. Shen gathered anger between her eyebrows, stretched out her hand and slapped the table and shouted.
Her hands were as well-maintained as all the ladies of the family at this time, smooth as white jade, and she carried two huge jeweled rings on them, which matched them with dazzling brilliance.
"Why did Madame say that?" Cao Shi glanced up at Mrs. Shen San, and then lowered his gaze.
"Still pretending to be confused with me?" Mrs. Shen San sneered, looking at the woman standing aside, the trembling soul hidden under the gorgeous clothes couldn't escape her eyes at all.
"Let me ask you, why don't you decide to be married? What do you want to do? She looked at Cao Shi and snorted and said, "You are also the master of a poet and calligrapher eunuch, and naturally you also know how to know etiquette and keep promises, how can you break the contract and not recognize it?" β
"I'll ask you, but my Shen family is not worthy of you?"
"I'll ask you, but my son is of bad character?"
Accompanied by her question, Cao Shi answered no sentence by sentence.
Seeing that this woman's momentum was weak and Nuo Nuo trembled, Mrs. Shen's face eased a little, and a smile appeared on her face, knowing that she had stopped her at the beginning.
Fighting with this kind of woman is to take the people first, and then slowly figure it out, Cao is a person like Cao who hides in the house all her life and doesn't know the world, and the master is the heaven and the woman's virtue is the life, where is her opponent.
After questioning, then it's time to give her a sweet date, Mrs. Shen lowered her tone.
"I know that our family has been cut off over the years, and you are angry in your hearts, but no matter how angry you are, you can't joke about marriage," she said slowly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she stretched out her hand, "Sit down and talk." β
Cao Shi glanced up at her and slowly sat down on the side.
"Our family affairs are complicated, and you haven't been in Jiankang all these years, but relatives are relatives, aren't you relatives if you don't move around?" Mrs. Shen said slowly, while picking up the teacup, she tasted it gently.
The best Tieguanyin spring tea, she nodded slightly, and slowly drank a few sips.
The Cao family over there still answered yes, and at the same time there was a soft sob.
Mrs. Shen's brows furrowed, crying, didn't she just pretend to be pitiful and earn face.
"Although Ke'er is a concubine, he grew up in front of me, he is the same age as Eighteen Niang, he has a good temperament, and he is not used to his ...... of fighting chickens and dogs," Mrs. Shen continued.
Cao just hung his head and wiped his tears lightly from time to time, not knowing whether he heard or heard.
"....June and July are a little hotter, I think it's better to pass the autumn, they are not young, the day is set, what do you say?" Mrs. Shen finally asked.
Cao on the side stood up in fright.
"Madam, thank you Madame, for your kindness... We can't agree to this family affair...."There was a little horror in her eyes, her lips were slightly pale, but her tone was very firm.
Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, and after talking to her for a long time, she was immediately furious.
"Cao's" She slapped her palm on the table, shaking the teacup and splashing tea.
This sound frightened the servants and maids in the room and shrank their heads and trembled, this official lady was so angry.
"Madam, please forgive the Cao family for being rude and immoral..."The Cao family hid his face and cried, "This family matter Cao family must not respond...."
Mrs. Shen San's liver and gallbladder are bursting, and these ladies can only cry and cry, but they don't eat oil and salt
"You, you," she leaned on her chair, looked at Cao Shi with raised eyebrows, took a breath of life, and said in a low voice, "Cao Shi, how are you going to stay?" β
Cao just cried and asked his wife to forgive him.
"So you still blame your master for dying, and we didn't come to mourn?" She didn't say anything, so Mrs. Shen had no choice but to grit her teeth and ask herself.
Cao shook his head and said no.
"That's because it's not the sister-in-law who marries?" Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows and asked.
The sister-in-law is Shen Anlin, and Cao raised his head violently as if he had been pricked by a needle, and stopped crying.
Look, it's out of shape, Mrs. Shen snorted coldly, sure enough, for this, maybe she has already given it privately.
"Madame, have you seen Lin'er?" She stared at Cao, a cold glint in her eyes.
"No, no," Cao bit his lower lip, and his eyes flashed with his daughter's heartbroken appearance when she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly...
The man divorced her daughter, and the man forced her daughter to death.
She seemed to see her daughter lying to the ground covered in blood, and there was joy all around......
"Mrs. Shen, please go back, I will never respond to this family business," Cao raised his head and said.
Third Lady Shen sneered.
"Cao, Lin'er, don't think about it, he is the sister-in-law of our Shen Mansion," she said slowly, accentuating her tone on the word sister-in-law, looking at Cao's eyes without concealing her contempt and disdain, "... Even we as parents don't dare to decide the major event of marriage at will, we have to ask my husband's opinion before we dare to ..... people know themselves, Cao, do you understand? β
"I understand, I understand," Cao nodded with a pale face, "so please go back, we won't agree to this family matter." β
"Cao, what else do you want?" Mrs. Shen couldn't hold back her anger anymore and stood up with a slap on the table.
"I don't want to do anything, please Mrs. Shen, you let us go of our eighteen mothers, let us go of our eighteen mothers.." Cao suddenly pounced, grabbed her sleeve and cried.
Mrs. Shen's face suddenly turned blue and white, and she almost gritted her teeth when she looked at the woman who was holding her crying and screaming.
What does she mean?
"No matter who it is, as long as it is surnamed Shen, I will not agree, please, Mrs. Shen, you will let us go Eighteen Niang..."
Do you really don't want to get married? Mrs. Shen San finally showed a shocked look.
In her opinion, the reason why the Cao family refused to marry was nothing more than resentment that they had not been in contact for many years, and even knew in their hearts that their Shen family did not intend to recognize their relatives.
Of course, there will be dissatisfaction because it is not the son-in-law who is finally decided, but dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, no matter what, the Cao family has no reason to give up this family business.
As long as the label of Shen Mansion is attached, it means wealth and glory, and a wealthy family.
Of course, their family is rich now, but it is every woman's dream to become a daughter-in-law surrounded by servants from a wealthy family.
A powerful family, with fine clothes and food, pampered and pampered, can there be any woman who can refuse? Isn't that the ultimate goal of every daughter and their mother?
However, the cowardly woman in front of her actually shouted no, as long as it was surnamed Shen, don't ......
Mrs. Shen's expression changed, and her eyes flickered.
Or did she guess that she fancied their money?
So what? Being able to make her look at it and accept her into the door is enough for them to be grateful to Dade
"Cao's family" Mrs. Shen shook off the Cao family violently, her anger was undisguised, and she scattered, "You are so bold and dare to blackmail the natal wife, I want to join you from the queen's mother, cut your official identity, and take away your children's school status, I want to see, so sloppy and break the contract, unkind, unjust, shameless and untrustworthy family, what face does it have to gain a foothold in Jiankang"
This loud shout made Cao, who was already a little sluggish, stunned, she took a few steps back and hit the corner of the table, her chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes were full of horror.
Cut your identity, take your student status...
"Cao's family, your son Gu Hai is only successful in his studies, and his reputation in Jiankang has only risen, do you want him to have a treacherous mother? Do you think he has a sister who repents of her marriage? Do you think he was ridiculed by the world? Third Lady Shen said coldly.
"Our Shen Mansion has such a status, and we whispered to fulfill the marriage contract, but you rejected it, what do you want our Shen Mansion to have?" Mrs. Shen San raised her head and looked at the Cao family condescendingly, "You slapped my Shen Mansion in the face today and rejected my Shen Mansion's marriage contract, I want to see if you can still marry a good daughter-in-law and marry a good family."
This is a threat, but it is a very real threat, for the Shen family, there is no right of life and death, but it is still easy to ruin the reputation of a little orphan and widow in Jiankang, as long as it is a word, I am afraid that anyone who wants to marry their family will have to consider it.
If you can't talk about people, it will inevitably cause a lot of criticism, and over time, the result is doomed, and no one will pursue the antecedents, and their family's reputation is irretrievable......
Mrs. Shen looked at the Cao family with a face like ashes, and felt a little hatred in her heart, she didn't expect such a simple thing to ask her to use this trick and say this.
"Cao's family, the marriage of children is a happy event, why do you bother? Let's sit down and .......," she said in a deep voice.
Before the words fell, Cao Shi staggered up and rushed at her with his open hand.
"Even if I die, I won't let you harm Eighteen Niang" She shouted hoarsely, grabbing Mrs. Shen's shoulder, "....If you want to harm Eighteen Niang, you kill me first, kill Brother Hai first..."
Mrs. Shen San was taken aback, this Cao family was crazy, and in an instant she was dizzy by this thin woman who was a head lower than herself, and the golden hairpin on her head shook wildly, and her cheeks fell.
"Someone, someone, crazy, crazy," she shouted angrily and fearfully.
The servants who came back to their senses rushed up and pulled away the Cao family, who had grabbed Mrs. Shen San, and with a hiss, half of Mrs. Shen's sleeves were torn alive.
"Call me" Mrs. Shen San was furious, pointing at the Cao family who was pulled away and shouting angrily.
Immediately, two or three servant women with their backs on their backs rolled up their sleeves and were about to rush towards the Cao family.
A shout of "boldness" came from outside the door.
The voice was shrill and powerful, cutting through the eardrums of everyone in the room, and everyone couldn't help but stop moving.
Gu Bainiang strode forward, her expression calm, and her face was cold.
"You are all dead, shall I feed you for leisure?" No mistakes, no word skipping. She raised her eyebrows and shouted, her gaze sweeping over the standstill servant woman in the room.
The young lady dared to smash people to death with silver, and the master and servant women finally came back to their senses, no matter how powerful the official lady in front of her was, it was someone else's family, and she couldn't decide their life and death
The servants of the Gu family rushed up, protected the Cao family, and picked up the chairs in the hall and lifted them.
"You" Mrs. Shen San looked at this girl who strode in stride, and couldn't believe that this was the weak girl she had in Xinglong Temple that day.
"This lady is an official of the imperial court?"
"But the errand who got the permission to go to the house?"
"I'm a den of thieves here?"
"Do I have a thief who violates the law and discipline here?"
Watching the girl approach step by step, accompanied by a higher and higher question, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but be stunned.
ββ¦ As a five-grade woman, what is the difference between you breaking into other people's homes and opening your mouth to kill, and the bandit who kills and extorts goods? β
"What kind of face do you have to be a court wife? Master Shen San has been sick and bedridden at home for a long time, and you, as his wife, did not serve you, but ran to other people's houses, spoke disrespectfully, and threatened a seven-rank woman with power..."
"You want to join my family, you don't abide by etiquette, don't follow women's morality, bully above, fight fiercely, I also want to go to the government to participate in your lack of three obedience, four virtues, three outlines, five constants, unkindness, injustice, impoliteness, and unwisdom, take away your title, and cut your identity as a wife"
With a buzz, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but take a step back, she couldn't speak for a moment, she just stared blankly at the girl who was already close at hand.
People say that this woman is high-flying, eloquent, and reversible black and white, but she still doesn't believe it.....
This girl's appearance is not very outstanding, coupled with an age-inappropriate coldness, there is no sense of youth and beauty that is pleasing to the eye.
It's just that how could a line of tears slip from the corners of such a fierce woman's eyes........
"Okay" Mrs. Shen San came back to her senses, pushed away the servant woman who was supporting her with both hands, looked at Gu Bainiang and shouted, "I'll wait for you to participate"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out, and the servants behind him hurriedly rushed away, and the lively hall returned to silence in an instant.
Gu Bainiang closed her eyes when Mrs. Shen San passed by, and tears welled up in her eyes.
How so......
She's not....she's not the one who hurts herself the most......
She would scold those who mocked her origins and sisters-in-law.....
She said that her background doesn't count, she said that it's best to be a good person......
Outside the hall, was the contemptuous disdain that reminded Cao to have self-knowledge a delusion on her part?
The undisguised condescension in the face of Cao's family, the gift on his face when he talked about marriage, the threat of annoyance and anger... β¦β¦.
All of them show that in her eyes, they are ants that are trampled on at will, and if the ants dare to resist, then she will trample to death without hesitation.......
She's not, she's not the kind and dignified bodhisattva..... she's not the one who loves herself and pities her parents.....
Has this person changed, or is it ...... Blind?
"She's interested in your money.." Shen Anlin's words suddenly sounded in his ears.
In the previous life, she had no money, so she fancied herself?
"Eighteen mothers.." Holding her with both hands, Cao Shi wiped the tears on her face in a little panic, and he also burst into tears, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, even if you die, your mother will not agree... Mother is not afraid, your brother will not be afraid, even if there is no official or lord, uprooted, we will not be afraid, as long as you live, we are all alive together, it's fine..... don't be afraid, if your brother is here, he will definitely do it"
She knew, she knew, Gu Bainiang reached out to hug her and buried her head in front of Cao's body.
