Chapter 108: Who Counts Whom
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Peijin's clear eyes flashed, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she sighed lightly: "Since my mother is reluctant to use them, I have no choice but to go!" β
There are guests in the mansion today, and the Xia family will definitely worry that she will make a big deal out of it! Sure enoughβ
"It's just a few rough women!" After Xia finished speaking, he turned around and glared at the mother-in-law a few times, and one of them hurriedly bowed over flatteringly and said, "Big girl, why don't you carry the old slave on your back?" β
Chu Peijin tugged at the corners of her lips and glanced at her coldly: "You are also worthy of carrying me?" β
After speaking, he didn't look at her, but only instructed Cuizhu: "Go and move the concubine chair out of the room, and I'll sit on that." β
Cuizhu didn't dare to refuse, she quietly glanced at the gloomy face of the eldest lady, hurriedly entered the house and moved out the chair that Chu Peijin often sat on, and then did not forget to put a cotton cushion on it.
Chu Peijin praised Cuizhu and then sat up with Cuizhi's hand, and then ordered the mother-in-law: "You can go!" β
Mama Huang looked at the corners of her mouth twitching on the side, where is the big girl going to be punished? This is clearly a posture to go shopping! She quietly glanced at the eldest lady, and Xia's face was really ugly!!
Where have those mothers-in-law seen such a posture? It's not that I haven't punished others with the eldest lady before, and a few years ago, wasn't one of the concubines of the Hou Ye who was put into a small Buddhist hall in the mansion by their mothers-in-law to punish and kneel? I remember that the little concubine was crying and crying like a lump of mud, and several of their mothers-in-law dragged it in.
But why is it so wrong when I come to Miss Chu today?
"Husband, ma'am, look at this, this ......"
The mother-in-law was worried that she would inevitably find Xia to get an idea, and Xia was even more angry! Didn't she come to them just to deter Chu Peijin? What's going on now? People didn't stop talking, but a few of them were shocked!
"Forgot what you're doing here? Don't go yet!! β
Xia's voice was as cold as ice cubes in the cold winter, which made the four rough envoys shiver involuntarily, and hurriedly ran to the side of the concubine chair where Chu Peijin was sitting and lifted her up with all their strength.
Cuizhu glanced at Cuizhi and hurried to follow, Cuizhi watched the girl go out of the courtyard in a panic, and she didn't know what to do for a while!
Xia walked to the gate of the courtyard and glanced back at Cuizhi, and said, "The master has made a mistake, and it is impossible for her maid to stay out of the matter." Today, I will punish you to stay in the courtyard and reflect on it! After speaking, he turned his head to Mama Huang and said, "Find someone to watch them well, but anyone who sneaks out will be punished and driven out of the house!" β
Mama Huang hurriedly bowed down with joy on her face, looked back at Cuizhi proudly and rubbed her palms like a demonstrative, seeing that Cuizhi's face changed suddenly, Mama Huang raised her chin and followed behind Xia's with satisfaction.
Cuizhi hurriedly took Lilac and Yuxi back to the house to discuss quietly, but before they had any plans, there was a sound of talking outside the courtyard gate, and the three of them looked out through the window, but saw that there were three or four five big and three thick mothers-in-law standing at the gate of the courtyard!
The faces of the three of them changed, and they knew that they really couldn't get out this time, so they had to secretly pray in the house that the girl was safe!
said that when Chu Peijin was sent to the ancestral hall by the four mothers-in-law, Mrs. Luo and her daughter came to visit!
After hearing the news, Xia Shi instructed Mama Huang to go over and stare at Chu Peijin, while she hurried to the front to greet her. Although her identity does not need to be greeted at all, Mrs. Luo's identity is too special, and she has to do so.
When she saw Mrs. Luo, she had already been greeted by the Liu family into the second gate, and the Xia family hurriedly greeted her with a decent smile, and the two sides entered the old lady's Rongkang courtyard with a few polite words.
The old lady sat in the hall and looked at the woman who came in, and her expression was slightly surprised! When the hussar general was still alive, Madame Luo often attended banquets, so the old lady had seen her. It was only when she saw it today that she realized that it was only a short period of five or six years, and the person who was originally as bright as a shallot is now like an old woman in her twilight years, and her unsmiling expression makes people lose the slightest vitality!
"Locke girl, you, you are ......" The old lady couldn't help but exclaim!
At the beginning, Mrs. Luo had a lively and cheerful temperament, and the old lady couldn't help but make fun of her every time she saw her, calling her the girl of the Luo family. Now that she suddenly heard such a cordial title again, Mrs. Luo's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Old lady, I'm worried about you!"
"Quick! Sit down and talk! After the old lady finished speaking, she saw that Mrs. Luo was followed by a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "This is Miss Ouyang, right?" Good boy, come here, take a good look at the old body! β
Ouyang Jinglan obediently stepped forward and saluted, and then said, "Jinglan has seen the old lady, has the old lady been okay?" β
The old lady smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed to one place, and she took Ouyang Jinglan's hand and said, "Okay!" Good! Good! What's wrong with seeing you? Your mother is stingy, and I haven't seen you in the house for so many years, but I have to come here often in the future! β
"Yes! Thank you, old lady! Today, Jing Lan came to play with her sister in the house. Ouyang Jinglan raised a smile, thinking of the sister who was calm and didn't look like a woman, she couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister Chu can be in the house today?" β
As soon as her words came out, the heart of the Xia family who was accompanying her jumped! Liu's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Ouyang, are you here to find our Miss Chu?" β
"Yes! We're here to thank her! This time it was Madame Locke who spoke. Although there was still no expression on his face, his tone was very sincere.
The old lady was also very surprised!
"What's going on? You've all confused my wife! β
Mrs. Luo glanced at her daughter and said in a deep voice, "Let's let Lan'er tell you!" β
"Yes, Mother." Ouyang Jinglan agreed, and then used a clear and soft voice to roughly explain the things that Chu Peijin had rescued, and some of the details were ignored by her. However, even so, it was enough to surprise the old lady!
"How could something like this happen? Jin girl has never mentioned it since she came back! After the old lady said this, she couldn't help but think that after returning home that day, because the Wang family sisters and brothers came over, she was happy for a while, and she forgot about Chu Peijin! Later, when I heard that she was back, I didn't think about it that much, but I didn't think it was because of this......
It seems that I have become accustomed to ignoring this eldest granddaughter!
When the old lady thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry in her heart, so she said to Xia: "Eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up and let someone call Jin over to come over, by the way, call the other girls over to get to know Ouyang girl, everyone must have more contacts in the future!" β
Xia's face changed a few times before he held back his anger and didn't rush out to settle accounts with Chu Peijin! That damn girl must have done it on purpose today! She must have known who the person who came to the door today was, so she was so cooperative to go to the ancestral hall!
As soon as the front foot got her into the ancestral hall, and the back foot was about to run to ask her to come out, Xia felt that he was about to die of anger! This damn girl, it's really calculating!!
Seeing that Xia didn't respond for a long time, the old lady frowned slightly and couldn't reprimand her, so she had to say to Liu: "You go, let someone call a few girls over to talk to Miss Ouyang!" β
Liu stood up and was about to agree, when Xia on the side suddenly stood up from his seat, "Mother, don't bother my brother and sister, I'll go and call someone!" β
