Chapter 416: The Day After the "Wedding", the "Mother-in-law" Succeeded...
Under Qiuyue's watchful eye, Yu Zhou failed to "have fun" in the end, when Yu Feng drank three wines, it was not good to respect again, only one person drank sullenly, but he also sat down to Haizheng, his tongue was a little unable to turn, Qiuyue intimately dissuaded: "Erlang drank too much at noon, and he couldn't drink more at night, otherwise the old princess would have to blame if he knew." "Very tactfully evicted the order.
When Yu Zhoushen walked out of the corner gate with one foot in a shallow foot, he met the bright moon head-on, standing under the light moonlight, smiling with anger.
This night, Lang Xing was very anxious, because Erlang "didn't return home at night".
Early in the morning, Yi Jing went to Rongxi Hall as usual to greet him, and was surprised to find that Xiao Xie was missing from the "ring".
Of course, she would not use such inferior means as criticizing Xiao Xie's "absence" and "disrespect", and she didn't even mention it.
The old princess asked, "Zhou'er went to Xishanwei early in the morning?" ”
On the side, Zhu Mama hurriedly reported: "Erlang Mao came to Rongxi Hall at the beginning of the year and confessed to the slave maid, because he was on duty today, he didn't have time to say goodbye to you." ”
The old princess bowed slightly, knowing that she was only a concubine, and according to the regulations, she was not allowed to take leave, so Yu Zhou had to rush back to the barracks today.
Not long after, Yan'er came in with a curtain, her face was clearly eager, and when she saw that the old princess hadn't finished breakfast, she didn't say anything, she just glanced at Mama Zhu.
Yijing's heart moved, didn't the second aunt have time to "fight" with her today, but went to Aunt Zhi's place to provoke?
The old princess also saw Yan'er, and it was rare that she saw the maid's expression of wanting to speak and stop today, put down the spoon in her hand, rinsed her mouth with the tea cup handed by Yijing, and then asked: "What's the matter, early in the morning, what kind of lawsuit did you have with Ah Zhu?" ”
Yan'er stepped forward and said: "Madame went to Xiyuan this morning, punished Aunt Zhi, and wanted to expel Mingyue from the palace and hand it over to Renyazi for sale. ”
The old princess frowned: "This early in the morning, which one is the second daughter-in-law making trouble?" Mingyue's girl is the most clever and ingenious, she has always waited for Zhou'er properly, she is a child of the family, how can she say that she will sell it...... "The old princess's focus is completely off, and she doesn't seem to be used to Aunt Zhi referring to her nephew and daughter.
Zhu Mama glanced at the beautiful scenery quickly, only hesitated slightly, and then echoed: "Maybe there were a lot of things yesterday, there was something wrong with Mingyue, Mrs. is used to the rules, and she is inevitably stricter, and she forgot for a while that Mingyue was the maid you rewarded to Erlang, and there was no prophet to answer." ”
Yijing glanced at Mama Zhu, pursed the corners of her lips slightly, it seems that her warning still has some effect, and this person will also give Xiao Xie eye medicine behind his back.
I heard Mama Zhu pretend to be dissatisfied and said to Yan'er: "You said that Mrs. is in Xiyuan, why did you have a seizure with Mingyue again?" Could it be that Mingyue collided with Aunt Zhi? ”
Yan'er said crisply: "The slave maid doesn't know the details, I only heard Zhao Sijia say a few words in a panic, it seems that Mingyue was transferred to Xiyuan to wait...... Mrs. blamed Mingyue for leading Erlang to Xiyuan yesterday...... Zhao Sijia's wife asked Aunt Shan to serve the soup, but Aunt Zhi was reluctant to take it...... Madame punished Aunt Zhi for kneeling in the courtyard and wanted to beat Aunt Zhi's board, Mingyue and the maids brought by her aunt all knelt down to plead, and Madame became more and more annoyed. ”
The old princess came to her senses at this time, and her face sank: "She wants Sanniang to use the avoidance soup?!" That's medicine that hurts the body, Sanniang is also her niece, and she is the noble daughter of the Guogong Mansion! Suddenly remembered Mingyue: "Why did you transfer Mingyue to Xiyuan, and you didn't inform me!" ”
It's not easy to take these words, old princess, you have always ignored internal affairs, and everything in the palace is not covered by the general's wife, and I don't know which one of you is one or two.
Yijing persuaded: "Grandmother, don't worry, it's better to ask clearly, the second aunt is in charge of housework, and she will definitely be able to judge right from wrong. ”
But she knew in her heart that Yan'er's words must be the truth, Xiao Xie's hated Aunt Zhi's misbehavior, and hated her for ruining Yuzhou's marriage, and she didn't regard Aunt Zhi as her niece in her heart, for fear that she would take advantage of her wish and have the eldest son first, and she couldn't wait to force her to drink the soup to avoid the child.
Originally, it was a concubine's room, not to mention the avoidance of the child's soup, even if she was allowed to drink the soup, she couldn't refuse, but Aunt Zhi was the daughter of the Xie family, reported to the Zongren Mansion for the record, and had a pleasant grade, the identity was still different in the end, Xiao Xie's forced her to take medicine was really a little reckless, the old princess was thinking about her mother's family, although she was disgusted with Aunt Zhi's "bad" Yu Zhou at the beginning, but now that she has entered the door, with the weak and kind temperament of the old princess, she will definitely not mind anymore, but will protect her shortcomings, Aunt Zhi can be regarded as the pearl of Xie Shizi's palm, If this matter goes to the Zhenguo Mansion, once Xie Shizi knows about it, how can he not complain about the Chu Palace's disregard for the affection of the two generations of in-laws?
Of course, Xiao Xie's is so tough, but also because of the old princess's indulgence of her over the years, she always thought that she was still the "plenipotentiary" of the Xie family, and she didn't realize that Aunt Zhi was Xie Shizi's daughter, and in Xie Shizi's mind, her status was more important than her sister.
Aunt Zhi's life in the Chu Palace's life was not smooth, which was enough to affect the friendship between Xiao Xie's family and Xie Shizi's brother and sister.
Even if Xiao Xie's is justified in "righteousness" out of the consideration of "concubine", but forcing Aunt Zhi to drink avoidance soup will still make Xie Shizi dissatisfied and favor his daughter, thinking that Xiao Xie can only restrain Yu Zhou in this matter, and should not be harsh on Aunt Zhi.
Mrs. Xie is a mother-in-law, and she may not want to stand up for her concubine in her heart, but it is related to the relationship between the two families, their own face, and Xie Shizi is forcing her behind, she must also come forward.
Although it is a tacit means for the housewives to let the concubines drink the shunzi soup, because the shunzi soup hurts the body, drinking too much will inevitably cause infertility, so most of them are used to deal with the cheap concubines or maids who are born in slavery, and ordinary concubines generally will not suffer such "treatment", let alone a noble concubine like Aunt Zhi.
If the Xie family is believed, of course they will blame Xiao Xie's ruthlessness.
Yi Jing helped the old princess to rush to Xiyuan, and before she entered the door, she heard a ghost crying wolf, mixed with Xiao Xie's very high-pitched angry scolding: "I can't move you, right?" The dog minion dared to disobey! Don't do it yet......"
"Madame forgives her sins, my aunt is delicate and can't stand this medicine...... I can't stand the beating...... "I don't know which maid is pleading."
As soon as the old princess heard this, she knew that what Yan'er said was true, so she quickened her pace, and Yijing also followed her feet without getting dusty, and only then did she enter the courtyard gate of Xiyuan, and saw that Aunt Zhi had been pushed to the ground, and her two maids pounced on her body to block it, and suddenly saw that the three of them were stacked together, and the two embarrassed mothers-in-law held a big stick in their hands, and were shocked by Xiao Xie's roar, but in the end they still didn't dare to really greet Aunt Zhi, who had a pleasant grade.
The beautiful scenery looked at the side again, and I saw a big girl with an autumn-colored pink cherry blossom armor with a cloak, and was kneeling beside a mother-in-law, with five fingerprints on her face, and a pair of beautiful eyes crying into two walnuts, and the eight or nine achievements were bright moons.
A few rough maids knelt farther away, and they didn't dare to follow and beg for mercy.
Xiao Xie stood behind the door, didn't see the old princess and Yijing for a while, and was still majestic, and said to Shan: "It's against the sky, a concubine's room, I still have to fight, you personally punish me, give me a hard beating of thirty boards, whoever dares to stop it, immediately raise your feet and sell it." ”
"Stop!" The old princess gasped several times in anger and drank heavily.
Most of the slaves and maids did not see the old princess speak so violently for a long time, and they were taken aback, and the two mothers-in-law holding the big staff saw the frosty princess again, and they were even more taken aback.
Aunt Zhi faced the courtyard door, she had already seen the old princess and her party, and secretly accumulated strength, this time her hands and feet had been soothed, struggling to straighten her waist, she was wearing a light yellow brocade gown today, at this time the placket was covered with dust, and her chest was dyed black by medicinal soup.
There was a sudden kneeling in the courtyard, and Shan Shi also landed on his knees, but he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
The anger on Xiao Xie's face did not abate, and he greeted him with a hasty salute, and his tone was still sonorous: "Mother, Zhiniang is disobedient, and her daughter-in-law is teaching her the rules." ”
"Auntie, beg your aunt to forgive your sins." Aunt Zhi's liver and intestines were broken, and she stepped forward on her knees: "Madame asked the concubine to use the avoidance soup, but the concubine is weak, and her mother explained before leaving home, she can't use this kind of medicine, I'm afraid that I won't be able to open up branches and leaves for Erlang in the future......"
"Shut up! You should still be a princess, but now it's just a concubine, and Erlang doesn't need you to spread out. Xiao Xie was so angry that he didn't pay attention to the old princess's expression, and only scolded Aunt Zhi.
"Second aunt, this is not the place to talk, let's forgive Zhiniang first, and ask my grandmother to come into the house to ask." The beautiful view waiter interrupted.
Xiao Xie has already put the sentence "What do you have to do with the things in Erlang's room" in his throat, and he saw the beautiful scenery as if he was smiling but not smiling, and suddenly sobered up - what a ghost girl who sees the stitches and is afraid of not messing up, this will instigate the old princess to come over, nothing more than to add fuel to the fire, if he argues with her, it will make things more and more complicated, the old princess is pampering her at this time, her heart can be biased, she will definitely blame herself, or the right thing matters.
Hurriedly swallowed back the words in his throat, and while helping the old princess to walk into the hall, he said solemnly: "Mother, it's not that I deliberately pick on Zhi's girl, she is too unconscious, she just entered the door yesterday, and she dared to call Mingyue to welcome Erlang, this is not in line with the rules of being a concubine, Erlang because of accepting her as a concubine, the marriage will be affected, if there is another eldest son, it will make others more and more picky, the daughter-in-law thinks of this, she is anxious, and she only let Zhiya drink the soup today, all for Zhou'er's plan, I didn't know that she dared to disobey, and she should be severely punished. ”
Yijing was a few steps behind, first asked Chundui to help Aunt Zhi up, tidy up her appearance, and instructed the servant woman to stay in the courtyard and stand by, not to move, not to cry, and in a few words to suppress the "ghost crying wolf howl", even Zhao Sijia, who was beating his chest when he saw Mingyue's miserable appearance, also held his cry in his throat.
The old princess sat in the main hall, her anger was still gone, and she interrupted Xiao Xie's words in a deep voice: "That's the case, you shouldn't force Zhi Yatou to drink that avoidance soup, you should also call her aunt, how can you do it." ”
When Aunt Zhi heard this, her expression was secretly relieved, and she also held back her tears, followed Yijing into the main hall, and knelt down in the middle hall, without rushing to argue.
"The daughter-in-law doesn't want to, but she dares to seduce Zhou'er, so she should bear the consequences." Xiao Xie was unwilling, glared at Aunt Zhi and said: "It turns out that she is a misbehaving, and she doesn't know how to repent, just because I am her aunt, I should teach her the rules well." ”
"My aunt punished the concubine, she should have been taught, but the concubine didn't dare to admit the crime of misconduct, yesterday the concubine entered the palace, and she didn't dare to go out, but Erlang came here, how dare the concubine be slow......"
"Shut up! You still dare to quibble, if you hadn't asked Mingyue to go to Yinzhou'er, how could he have come here. Xiao Xie said angrily, and finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and glanced at Yijing coldly: "Jing girl, even you are also responsible, Zhou'er and Feng'er were drinking together last night, how did you send the maid to inform Mingyue." ”
Yi Jing didn't want to interfere in the private affairs of the second room, but when he saw that the fire burned on his head, of course he wouldn't show weakness, so he first showed a confused face: "What did the second aunt say about this?" ”
is really good at pretending, Xiao Xie sneered: "The little maid in Xiyuan can explain clearly, when it was dark last night, Hu Xuan from Guan Sui Yuan came to Xiyuan specially for a trip, didn't he get your instructions?" ”
Yijing was originally instructed by the old princess to sit on the Jindun on the side, and then stood up, also with a solemn face: "I asked Hu Xuan to come to Xiyuan, just because I saw the maids holding kiwifruit in the cool at night, so I remembered that I hadn't sent some to Aunt Zhi, and asked someone to send them, how could I deliberately inform Mingyue?" If I hadn't heard my grandmother mention it today, I wouldn't even know that Mingyue was my grandmother's maid to my second brother...... Grandmother, since the second aunt has such a misunderstanding, she must ask Mingyue, what was the situation last night, I am young and afraid, and I dare not take the responsibility for this misconduct. ”
The old princess already complained that Xiao Xie was not acting well, but when she saw that she was climbing into the beautiful scenery again, she became more and more annoyed in her heart, and without waiting for Xiao Xie to refute, she asked Zhu Mama to call Mingyue in.
