On the way to Mrs. Yan's courtyard, Shaohua had no less than ten conjectures in her heart, Bo Yan was right, her temper should be restrained. It's just that her temper was not raised in Pu'an, no matter how much she was wronged in the Li family, she didn't say a word even when Jinhua stepped on her. So she herself was also frightened by her own impulsiveness, just saying the words and splashing the water, she didn't know that she couldn't keep Yan Kaizhi going, and she also knew that Yan Kaizhi would definitely not stay.

If she was to be suspended from home in less than half a year, she probably wouldn't be able to stay in Beijing for the rest of her life, and even the Yan family of the Li family would be humiliated with her.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that when she stepped into Mrs. Yan's house, her face was completely ugly, but she didn't get angry immediately.

She walked over and knelt in front of Mrs. Yan, "My daughter-in-law just made a big mistake, please punish A-Niang." She closed her eyes tightly, thinking to herself that even if it was insulting, even if it was beating, she had to endure it.

"Hmph, how do you want me to punish you?" Mrs. Yan's voice was so cold that it could freeze three feet of earth, and she slapped the table again, "It's just too unusual!" ”

Shaohua pursed her lips tightly, straightened up, and waited motionlessly for Mrs. Yan's punishment.

After a while, Mrs. Yan said in a stiff voice: "You have to kneel in the Buddha Hall." ”

thought that Mrs. Yan would give her a hard reprimand, or let her go back to her parents' house directly, but when she heard Mrs. Yan's words, Shaohua immediately kowtowed to her gratefully. got up and turned to the Buddhist hall, but heard Mrs. Yan say behind him: "No one else is allowed to follow, and they are not allowed to come out without my permission." ”

Shaohua asked Chuhe and the others to retreat and walked to the Buddhist hall in the backyard by themselves.

Because it is Mrs. Yan's usual place to worship the Buddha, you can smell a thick sandalwood as soon as you enter the door, about to the west, the Buddhist hall is secluded and shady, but it also just makes people calm.

She lifted the corner of her skirt and walked in, but was startled by the figure kneeling in front of the Buddhist shrine. She thought that only she would be punished, but she didn't expect Yan Kaizhi to be one step ahead of her, and she came directly depending on the situation.

It's just that it was she who was in trouble just now, what did Yan Kaizhi kneel.

Shaohua hesitated, pursed his lips, walked over with his head down, knelt down on the futon beside him, and looked directly at the statue on the shrine.

Yan Kaizhi didn't expect Shaohua to come over, he had already had the habit of meditating in front of the Buddha, especially when something like that happened just now. He knew that he couldn't hide it from his mother, so he took all the responsibility and consciously came here to think about it. Seeing that Shaohua didn't look at himself, Yan Kaizhi retracted his gaze and followed to look at the Buddha statue.

The two people in front of the Buddha had their own thoughts, neither of them spoke, no one paid attention to the other, so they each straightened up, as if they were racing against time.

But after all, no matter how stubborn Shaohua is, his body can't bear Yan Kaizhi's iron-clad physique. After the third watch at night, she was already in a trance, and she didn't know whether she was tired or hungry, and her whole person began to shake.

However, she didn't move, Yan Kaizhi didn't move, and the two of them knelt silently in front of the Buddha as if they were vindictive.

I don't know how long it took, Shaohua's body fell softly, but fortunately, Yan Kaizhi made a timely move to support her soft body.

"Shaohua?" His voice was hoarse from not drinking water for too long, and he sighed deeply after calling twice but no one woke up. I really don't know what she is still stubborn about, although Mrs. Yan said that she was not allowed to come out, but she had already let people wait outside the door. But if one of them speaks, someone will go in and help them out.

But the people at the door changed their dinner to supper, and the supper to sugar water, and the cold to hot, and no one appeared.

Even Mrs. Yan, who was in the front hall, felt a little surprised, but for this matter, she said that it was fake that she was not angry, no matter how good she was to Shaohua, after all, she was just a daughter-in-law. A daughter-in-law dared to act so boldly, and everyone else would have divorced her a long time ago. However, her uncompetitive son came to excuse her early, her face was red and swollen, and she took the fault on herself. Horizontal and vertical is a matter between their husband and wife, and Mrs. Yan doesn't want to interfere, so she lets them kneel in the Buddhist hall.

Yan Kaizhi picked her up horizontally, gently carried her out of the Buddhist hall, and suddenly saw his mother blocking the way.

"Auntie." Yan Kaizhi shouted, looking at Mrs. Yan's dress, knowing that she must have been worried all night, "You should rest early." ”

"The daughter-in-law is what you want to marry, I won't stop you, but the next time you make such a big fuss, I will immediately divorce her from the house." Mrs. Yan is also a person who does what she says.

Yan Kaizhi secretly gasped, knowing what his mother meant, and nodded solemnly, "I know, there will be no next time." ”

Knowing that her son was protecting her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yan also looked helpless, "Go back, don't catch a cold." ”

Yan Kaizhi saw Mrs. Yan leave, and suddenly stopped her footsteps, "A-Niang, those girls who just passed the word ......"

Mrs. Yan turned her head, her expression was grim, and a fierce color appeared on her face, "Mingyue and Xiao Lotus were both slapped by me and locked up, and the rest of the tomorrow will all be sent out." "Hiding behind the master's back and chewing the root of the tongue, teasing the relationship between the master, this kind of maid is not too much to pull out the tongue.

Yan Kaizhi understood his mother's methods, and he was only in anger that Mingyue confused his mind after a few words, and when he came back to his senses and calmed down to analyze, he realized that he had made a serious mistake. Just like when he first came over, Mrs. Yan sneered at him, "I thought you had made progress, but I didn't expect to be hooked by her, don't forget, you still have something to do." ”

For Yan Kaizhi, this sentence is already a very heavy punishment, he was disturbed by Shaohua, and he would make such a low-level mistake.

"Mrs. Tai, Master Hou is sincere to Mrs. Lin helped Mrs. Yan back to the room and whispered in her ear.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yan's face was slightly gloomy, and the shadow covered her eyes, "It's really unsettling that makes people uneasy." She muttered a word, and then ordered, "Let someone send some supper, and all the things that happened today have been covered for me." ”

Lin nodded seriously, this is a family ugly, and it has to be a big deal if it is spread out.

Shaohua herself forgot how she fainted and fell asleep, and when she woke up, she was already in her bed, and even her clothes had changed. She called Chu He for questioning, but Chu He said that Yan Kaizhi had brought her back.

"Where did Master Hou rest last night?" Shaohua hurriedly got out of bed, she had no memory of last night's events at all.

"Master Hou went to the study." Hatsuho hugged her and changed her clothes and combed her hair.

"Didn't you come back all night?" Shaohua was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart. "What happened after that."

Chu He shook his head, and didn't forget to tell Shaohua in a whisper, "Mrs. Tai doesn't let people say it, but I heard that Xiao Lotus and Mingyue were locked up with their palms, it seems that they are talking nonsense, and a few of them have been sent out of the house early." ”

Shaohua was shocked, she didn't expect the matter to be so big, then she actually knelt down until she fell asleep last night, and she didn't know what Mrs. Yan would think.

"Hurry up and accompany me to Mrs. Tai." I hope she won't blame it, Shaohua was annoyed in her heart, why didn't Yan Kaizhi wake her up.

Chu He said: "Mrs. Tai said, Mrs. doesn't have to pass these two days, just prepare for entering the palace the day after tomorrow." ”

It turned out that she was going to enter the palace so soon, and she thought that she would wait until the day Rouwan got married to enter the palace. I don't know if the injury on Yan Kaizhi's face has improved, she is really impulsive, such a slap will make a man angry and divorce his wife.

It's no wonder that Yan Kaizhi refused to go back to his room to sleep last night, he must have a grudge in his heart.

Shaohua smiled bitterly, but how could she hope to be like this, yesterday's words completely chilled her heart, any serious lady would be angry when she was said like this, not to mention that she was her husband.

"Madam, the lady of the Xu family said to come and visit." Youhan entered the house and saw that Shaohua was still awake, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Who is the lady of the Xu family?" Shaohua frowned, she didn't remember that she knew a lady surnamed Xu.

Youhan reminded: "It's from the princess's mansion next door, the sister of the concubine, I heard that she just entered Beijing in the past two days, so she came to visit." The emperor directly renamed the place where Xu Ziang lived as the princess's mansion, anyway, the slave supplies in it were originally moved out of the palace. Although Xu Ziang has a little dissatisfaction, the princess has a lot of dowries, so he can't say anything.

"Is she coming alone? Where is it now? "Shaohua and the Xu family have no friendship at all, and now, Xu Ziang has become a concubine, and it has nothing to do with her. So the lady of the Xu family would come to visit, but it was unexpected.

"With a maid, it's in Yanhuitang." Youhan said.

Yanhui Hall is close to Shaohua's place where they live, and it is also a flower hall specially for Shaohua's banquets for dignitaries and ladies.

The guests all came to the door, and Shaohua naturally had no reason to rush people, so he hurriedly asked Youhan to help dress up so that he could go out to greet the guests. But to her surprise, all the way out, everyone was still respectful to her as if it hadn't happened yesterday.

As soon as he stepped into Yanhui Hall, Shaohua saw a pretty and slender figure, similar in age to her, but with a beautiful and elegant face, she was a rare beauty. What's even more rare is that she smiles open-mindedly and brightly, not at all like the lady in Beijing, that Jingya's face is seven points similar to Xu Ziang, but it seems to be similar to Xu Zixiang.

As soon as Shaohua stepped in, the girl had already enthusiastically come over to greet her: "Xinru said hello to my sister, I ran here without saying hello, it is Xinru who is wrong, please forgive my sister." Xu Xinru's title made Shaohua feel displeased, frowning slightly, and wondering how she could open her mouth and call her sister and sister.

Youhan was also a little displeased, but before she could speak, the girl next to Xu Xinru pulled her sleeve and reminded: "Lady, you should be called Mrs. Hou." ”

But Xu Xinru said indifferently: "Ask Mrs. to see more, my sister and I are the same age, we are neighbors, so let's ask my sister to be closer." ”

Shaohua didn't think it was good to have a relationship with a strange lady, but he thought of her identity, so he smiled faintly: "The first time I met with a, it was better to start calling her according to etiquette." Seeing Xu Xinru's obvious displeasure, she directly turned to the topic: "I don't know if Xu Niangzi came over so early, but what's the matter." ”

Xu Xinru saw that Shaohua had no intention of having a relationship with her at all, and she also seemed lazy, "It's nothing, my third brother has been busy with the wedding recently, and I'm bored by myself, so I came over to hang out." "The future Princess Mansion and the Marquis Xingyong Mansion are separated by a few steps, and you can walk there without taking a car. Xu Xinru looked around for a moment and said with a smile: "Why are you at home alone, Master Hou?" ”

Hearing Xu Xinru's three sentences, she actually mentioned that Yan Kaizhi was coming, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, "Naturally, she is busy with official business, is there anything wrong with Mrs. Xu?" ”

"It's nothing, I bumped into him last time, and I haven't apologized to him yet." Xu Xinru said lightly.

These two hands are empty-handed, and as soon as they come, they look left and right, and they really can't see where she is coming to apologize.

Shaohua was not in the mood today, and when she saw Xu Xinru enter the door, she called her sister and sister, and jumped on Yan Kaizhi after two and a half sentences. She couldn't help but keep an eye on it, this shouldn't be Yan Kaizhi's peach blossom debt, so she came to ask for it.

Thinking that he was unhappy with him yesterday, Shaohua held back his dissatisfaction, "should have been warmly entertained when they came from afar, but I am not feeling well today, and I have to prepare to enter the palace, I am afraid that I will snub." Or I'll come back another day to apologize. ”

This is the most direct eviction order, but for Xu Xinru, it doesn't hurt.

"Okay, then remember to let him come along." Xu Xinru didn't look embarrassed, and she didn't salute when she got up, so she beckoned the maid to leave.

This made Youhan stomp her feet angrily, "Madam, who are these people!" It's so unruly, I knew I couldn't let her in. ”

Shaohua looked at Xu Xinru's back, and as soon as she came in, she was calm and calm, without the shyness and fear of seeing the officials and nobles, and she was not at ease at all about Shaohua's accusations. If this is not to say that she is blind and arrogant, it can only mean that she must be extremely favored at home, and the degree of favor is no less than that of Rouwan. Thinking about the Xu family's family background and current status, Shaohua felt a little uneasy in his heart.

If Xu Xinru is opposed, I'm afraid she will be in big trouble.
