Chapter 20: Finding Trouble
Seeing Shi Niang's face hideous, there seemed to be two fires burning in her dark eyes, and thinking that she had once pushed this body to the ground and lost her life, she couldn't help but feel palpitations in her heart. But at this time, it is not the time to retreat, the more you retreat, the more others think you are cowardly.
She looked at Shi Niang with a smile: "Mother has said so." I don't know when to leave. Sister, is there anything you want me to bring with me? As she spoke, Eleven Niang's back stood as upright as a pine, and she had an awe-inspiring aura.
Shi Niang was stunned.
Eleven Niang didn't dare to push her tight. If the two really get into trouble, no matter who is right or wrong, it will always give people the feeling of narrow-mindedness and thin tongue. Otherwise, if a slap doesn't make a sound, none of the two sisters will take a step back. The eldest lady knows, although she will blame Shi Niang for her bad temper, and she will blame herself for not knowing how to deal with these contradictions. maybe, it will greatly reduce his image in the eyes of the eldest wife.
She showed weakness and took a few steps back, and said with a smile: "It's rare for my sister to come downstairs, and I don't have anything to entertain here." At the last banquet, the fifth sister gave me two packs of good Xinyang hair. My sister knows that I don't know how to make tea, and I drink it as a cow chewing peonies. How about a sister, how about a taste? If you think it's okay, I'll ask Holly to send it to Baizhi. ”
Shi Niang couldn't help sneering: "It's different in the end, there is even Xinyang Maojian!" There was a lot less anger in his eyes.
This person's temper is also repeated again and again, and then declines, and three times rests, you can block her first time, and you are willing to be low, and her anger will naturally be smaller.
Eleven Niang looked at her and smiled affectionately, then took off the cloak on her body and handed it to Amber, looking like she would no longer go out and be sincere in hospitality, and instructed Holly to make tea, and let Binju take the gray squirrel skin mattress she usually used to put on the pestle so that Shi Niang could sit.
Shi Niang's face turned slightly pale.
Who knows, Amber, who took the cloak, rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Miss Eleven, the eldest lady sent someone to pass you there...... Why don't I go and talk to Sister Sango, saying that you will go immediately and let her cover for you in front of the eldest lady for the time being? ”
Eleven Niang secretly shouted in her heart.
Shi Niang can't hear anyone using the eldest wife to pressure her on weekdays.
It's just that before she could say anything about the amber, Shi Niang's face changed, and she stepped forward to lift the black lacquered round table in her room - this round table was made of rosewood, very heavy, she couldn't even use her strength twice to overturn it, so she simply swept her sleeves on the table, and the tea utensils fell to the ground and shattered.
Shi Niang's movements were very fast, and Amber looked stunned.
Eleven Niang couldn't help moaning.
The utensils in each room are to be registered, and they are changed according to the seasons, and the tea set of ten kinds of pastel brocade on the table is worth at least ten taels of silver...... She's going to lose.
This thought flashed, and Shi Niang had already rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards her.
Shi Niang knew that if Shi Niang's fist came down, unless she beat herself to death as before, otherwise, this big hat of "no brotherhood" Shi Niang would be buckled, and she would not be able to run...... She was just about to raise her hand to protect her head, but the corner of her eye swept over Holly's frightened face, and her heart moved.
If you really get beaten...... Isn't it possible to avoid going to Yanjing?
For a moment, she forcibly suppressed the instinct to protect her head with her hands.
"Miss Ten, you don't care about yourself, you have to take care of the fourth aunt!"
In Amber's anxious shout, Holly had already dragged Shi Niang behind him, and with a flick of the curtain, Baizhi and Jiuxiang rushed in, coercing Shi Niang left and right, so that Shi Niang could not move.
"Dog, do you still have me in your eyes?" Shi Niang's sideburns are bulging, her eyes are full of red, like a beast trapped in a cage, and her appearance is very scary.
Baizhi's face was even more ugly, and she nodded towards Eleven Niang: "Miss Eleven, our young lady is rude, and we will come back to you later." ”
Jiuxiang also nodded to Shi Niang with an apologetic face, and then the two dragged Shi Niang away.
Shi Niang scolded, struggled, raised his foot and kicked over the small pestle on the side, but Baizhi and Jiuxiang didn't say a word, just struggled to carry Shi Niang out.
Both of them were tall men, and Shi Niang was quickly taken out.
“…… You two little prostitutes, what good does that little hoof give you, you have to help the outside and not the inside......"
"Miss Ten," Baizhi's voice was a little frustrated, "you don't have to scold, we just don't want to end up with Peach and Heart!" ”
Shi Niang's voice stopped abruptly.
According to the mothers of the family, Bi Tao and Red Peach were beaten half to death and then sold to prostitution...... They have all served Shi Niang since childhood......
"Miss Ten, just stop and stop!" Baizhi's voice was tired, "What's so good about you making trouble like this?" The eldest lady will see that you are still the fourth aunt and can move out of the dilapidated room. Speaking of which, you are also fourteen years old this year, and you married early, and you are all mothers, so why haven't you grown up at all......"
The voice faded away, and after a while, the people in the eleventh mother's house came back to their senses.
"Miss, are you alright?" Holly took Eleven Niang's hand, and looked her up and down with some excitement, "Why don't you avoid it." If this is a slap in the face, it must be broken......"
As soon as her words fell, the curtain of the door was lifted without warning, and a round face with a smile appeared in everyone's sight: "Ouch, what's wrong?" Miss Eleven has such a big temper! ”
"Mother Xu!"
The people in the room changed color slightly, and Holly opened her mouth to explain, but Eleven Niang had already squeezed her hand fiercely and greeted her with a smile: "Mom is really a rare guest!" ”
Mother Xu's eyes rolled and she looked at the situation in the house, and then smiled and blessed Eleven Niang, and said, "The eldest lady told me to go to Miss Fifth and Miss Eleven's house to see if there is anything to add or subtract." Unexpectedly, Miss Fifth lacks two high-grade wolf pens, and you lack a set of pastel teacups. As he spoke, he pursed his lips and laughed.
Eleven Niang also smiled: "Then Mother Lao will help me remember it, and I will add it to us when the time comes." Then he walked around the broken porcelain on the ground and welcomed her into his bedroom, "Mommy, come in and have a cup of tea!" ”
Mother Xu didn't look at the little pestle that fell at her feet, and followed Eleven Niang into the bedroom with a calm expression.
Amber was busy directing Zhu Xiang to serve tea and snacks, while Holly led Hamaju and Qiu Ju to clean up the mess at the banquet.
******
Mother Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, listening to the movement of the banquet, but there was only a slight rustling sound.
She couldn't help but nod her head secretly.
Presumably, Holly and Binju saw that there were guests, so they squatted on the ground and wrapped their hands in handkerchiefs to pick up broken porcelain.
Xu's mother put down the tea cup, and Amber hurriedly handed over the account book that had been prepared: "Mom, please take a look." ”
"Then you're welcome." Mother Xu smiled, spread the account book on the coffee table on the side, then took out a small box from her sleeve, opened it, and took out a pair of glasses to look at it carefully.
Amber couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
This pair of glasses was brought from Guangdong by the eldest lady's maiden brother when he was a senator in Guangdong, not to mention Luofu, even the entire Yuhang only has this pair. Unexpectedly, the eldest lady actually rewarded it to Mother Xu...... Thinking about it, I couldn't help but envy in my heart, being a man like Mother Xu's is not in vain!
Eleven Niang thought about Shi Niang.
It is said that when the fourth aunt came back from Fujian, she immediately handed over all the account books in her hand, and did not take a step beyond Lei Chi in front of his wife...... How could such a meticulous person raise such a reckless and ignorant daughter as Shi Niang......
The two of them were silent with their own thoughts, and the "rustle" sound of Xu's mother flipping through the account book made the room more quiet.
After a long time, Xu's mother raised her head, smiled and put her glasses into the box, and put them back into her sleeves: "As Miss said, the eldest lady has a lot of things to reward on weekdays, and if it is for daily use, there is no need to add anything." It's just that I entered Beijing like this, I went to my aunt's grandmother's house to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Xu's family, and when the time comes, the house will be full of wealth and nobility, and we can't compare to the royal family, but we can't be too shabby. The eldest lady has already ordered a set of coral tortoiseshell shell noodles and a set of pearl red silver head noodles for Miss Eleven in Lao Jixiang. I looked at the spring clothes made by Miss Eleven a few days ago, but it was just right, and I didn't need to add anything. I just don't know if Miss Eleven has anything else she wants to add? ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "I don't have anything I want to add." ”
When Mother Xu heard this, she stood up with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I'll go back to the eldest wife!" ”
Eleven Niang stood up to see off the guests: "There is a trip to Lao's mother." ”
"Miss Eleven is always so polite." Mother Xu responded with a smile, said goodbye to Eleven Niang, and went to the eldest wife.
"How?" The eldest lady half leaned on the chaise longue in the bedroom, looking at the maids in the room tiptoeing to pack the cages with a blank expression.
Mother Xu hesitated for a moment.
The eldest lady got up: "You come with me." ”
Mother Xu answered "yes" and went to the banquet downstairs with the eldest lady.
"What? Both little girls made a request? The eldest lady's gaze was a little cold.
Mother Xu hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "I have looked at the things of the two young ladies, you usually appreciate a lot, and you have made a new spring dress, and there is nothing to add or subtract." In private, Miss Fifth offered to buy two good wolf hairs, which were only fifty taels of silver. Miss Eleven didn't mention anything...... However, when I went, something happened! ”
What you don't want to say in front of the maid in the house is naturally not an ordinary thing!
The eldest lady let out an "oh" and sat up straight, looking like she was listening.
Mother Xu took two steps forward and lowered her voice: "Miss Ten went to Miss Eleven's house to make trouble and smashed everything in the house." When I went in, I pretended not to know and asked Miss Eleven, saying that Miss Eleven had a big temper. Miss Eleven avoided answering...... Madam, when you started to choose Miss Eleven, I was a little unhappy. I don't think it's as good as Miss Five, I have a brother at home...... Now it seems that she is really a kind-hearted person. ”
(There will be a change in the evening, but the time is a little late, everyone will get up early tomorrow morning to watch!) (*^__^*) hee hee ...... )
