In the hall, Mrs. Wang's loud muttering suddenly surprised everyone in the hall.

Everyone who has been in the Hou Mansion for a long time knows that Mrs. Wang rarely has a dispute with 'Marquis Geng' in front of the public.

But this time, it made all of them feel a little abrupt. It was as if the situation in front of them seemed to make them all realize that this time it might be something hot on the stall. Otherwise, why did Mrs. Wang and 'Marquis Geng' suddenly have such a big dispute, and they are so uncompromising and uncompromising.

However, the frightened 'Shen Gan'er' didn't seem to feel this. Her trembling body had the categorical answer that Mrs. Wang had just given, as if she had taken an ironclad reassuring pill, and she didn't care what others thought of her anymore.

She timidly stood up and saluted Madame Wang, "Madam, thank you for saving your life. 'Shen Gan'er' will be a grass knot, repay his wife's great kindness, and work hard to manage the affairs of the theater, so as not to be distracted by his wife. As he spoke, he knocked his head a few more times before he stood up and stepped aside.

Mrs. Wang stared at everyone, and suddenly waved her hand to the group of subordinates. "Go, go, you all go down, don't stand here and get in the way. If you need anything, I will send a butler to greet you. ”

When the subordinates heard Mrs. Wang say this, they hurriedly said something, and hurriedly retreated in an instant.

'Shen Gan'er' wanted to stay and listen to the rest of the topic, but Mrs. Wang had already spoken coldly. "'Shen Gan'er', you should also retreat first, there is no need for you to stay here."

"Your business is over here, next time you have to be clever and careful, don't always let me come forward to be a shield for you. Now, the people of the Hou Mansion can't wait to treat the old lady as a thorn in their side. No matter how spicy and capable I am, I have to save some face for that 'broken household'. Otherwise, he would be very faceless outside, always letting outsiders point at his spine and scold him for not having a man's frame, and he was afraid of the dominatrix in the house. ”

Together with 'Marquis Geng' and Butler Niu, 'Shen Gan'er' didn't expect Mrs. Wang to compare herself to the 'dominatrix' in the house so directly, and there was no trace of guilt and difficulty. So she understood that she had no reason to defend any more, so she had to turn around and leave.

As soon as 'Shen Gan'er' left, there were only three of them left in the hall. Mrs. Wang glanced at 'Marquis Geng', and even the cow steward also made a light stroke, before putting down the menacing appearance just now and saying. "It's broken, and now there are only three of us left. If you have any other topics that are difficult to talk about, you can also say them, and we can discuss them. After all, the Hou Mansion cannot be defeated in our hands. ”

After holding it for so long, I finally waited for Mrs. Wang's words with a little care and respect for herself, and 'Marquis Geng' suddenly became happy. He raised his right hand and touched a handful of goatees under his chin a few times, and said with his mysterious appearance. "Madam, you have finally opened your mind and are concerned about the rise and fall of the Hou Mansion. It's a good thing, it's a good thing, I'll tell you about the reason for this. ”

"Come on, don't be happy early in the morning for your household. As soon as the old lady gives you a few faces, you don't know who you are? If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go quickly, don't chirp here and say something crooked. Mrs. Wang said angrily to the happy 'Marquis Geng', and suddenly slammed the 'Marquis Geng', which had just risen.

'Marquis Geng' was helpless, so he had to talk about the grievances. "Madam, you have to make a statement in front of 'Li Jin'er' tomorrow, if you still protect 'Shen Gan'er' like this, I'm afraid that the things that will be difficult to handle later."

Mrs. Wang deliberately stared at 'Marquis Geng' and scolded angrily. "Ouch, I thought you had some foresight? It turns out that you are still thinking about the splashing thing of 'Shen Gan'er'. Hey, in order to let our eldest marquis regain his face with confidence, let's go to the theater tomorrow and punish Shen Gan'er like a punitive punishment in front of everyone. ”

"First, it made the 'Li Jin'er' who suffered a hand injury gain some face, and secondly, it also made her understand that she didn't treat her badly when she stayed in our Hou Mansion. Third, you can also let your shabby house buy her an old friendship. But ah, this will have to suffer my loyal 'Shen Gan'er', and I will give you enough face to break the house. ”

'Marquis Geng' squinted his eyes there, he really didn't expect that Mrs. Wang, a shrew, would end his heart as soon as she opened her mouth. Immediately jumped up and echoed loudly, "Hey, Madame is refreshing enough, then I have nothing to say." As long as this is done, there will be no way out in the future. ”

Mrs. Wang squinted her mung bean-sized eyes disdainfully and replied, "Oh, the matter of 'Li Jin'er' is settled." After saying that, he suddenly turned his head and said to the cow steward who was standing solemnly on the side. Steward Niu, tomorrow you will bring a few subordinates and the mother-in-law to the theater, and say that 'Shen Gan'er' has no way to discipline the drama troupe, set up punishments privately, and abuse the use of 'Li Jin'er'. Especially in front of the 'distinguished guests' banquet of the DPRK and China the day before yesterday, he demolished the face of the Hou Mansion, and the crime was great and heinous, and he could not be spared. ”

The cow steward who was standing on the side was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and his face turned pale. Although I know that this 'Shen Gan'er' relies on Mrs. Wang's favor for her on weekdays, and there are many evil things, but if it is about criminal responsibility, it is not allowed to be so agitated and unwanted, at most it is a symbolic punishment for a while. Otherwise, this is the first example, and who will dare to take over this theater in the future.

Steward Niu just wanted to try to ask rhetorically, "Madam, look, this, this, it's inevitable to make a big deal about 'Shen Gan'er'." ”

However, before Steward Niu could say anything, Mrs. Wang had already refuted it. "Steward Niu, if you are asked to do this, you just have to do it, don't be verbose. Remember, I don't need your advice on my decisions. ”

The cow steward was choked and couldn't do anything, and just wanted to ask for help from the 'Hou Ye Geng' on the side, but the 'Hou Ye Geng' had already twisted away and drank his Longjing tea slowly.

The three of them stayed in embarrassment for a while before they dispersed in Madame Wang's arrogant demeanor.

After a night of rooster crowing, the sky will be bright.

The sun was shining violently, and the smell of fresh sunlight slowly spread throughout the room.

In the main wing of the theater, 'Shen Gan'er' suddenly opened her sleepy eyes, just wanted to get up and lay down again, and wanted to be leprosy in bed for a while. As soon as he closed his eyes and took a leisurely nap, the mother-in-law who was sprinkling and sweeping outside hurriedly broke in, and said to 'Shen Gan'er' on the bed with a panicked expression. "Miss Shen, something is wrong. The cow steward outside is taking three subordinates in the courtyard, muttering to see you? Now the mother-in-law in the courtyard is panicking, Miss Shen, get up quickly and go out to have a look. ”

'Shen Gan'er' heard the mother-in-law's report, and was so shocked that she got up from the bed, put on a pink coat, dragged a pair of embroidered cloth shoes under her feet, and walked out with the mother-in-law who came in to report it.

The two hurriedly walked to the middle of the courtyard, facing the three butlers who were disturbing each other as soon as they came in, 'Shen Gan'er' just wanted to come up and ask questions, but before the words could be spoken.

I could only hear Steward Niu muttering, "Come on, everyone, take down 'Shen Gan'er' for me." "I saw two young girls flash out next to me, one left and one right, firmly grabbed 'Shen Gan'er''s arm, and quickly escorted her to the cow steward. Seeing this scene, everyone in the courtyard panicked, and they all gathered together in a daze, looking at the lively scene in front of them.

'Shen Gan'er' was even more stunned and at a loss. She struggled as she tore open her throat and muttered. "Steward Niu, what happened to my 'Shen Gan'er'? Provoked you to bring someone to arrest me early in the morning? Aren't you afraid that Madame will know about this? ”

"Ha, ha!" After two piercing sneers, Butler Niu sneered while pinching his small handful of goatee while looking at the 'Shen Gan'er' in front of him with his gloomy eyes. "'Shen Gan'er', what did you do? Aren't you clear yourself? Do you need me to say it to you again? "Anyway, I said to the little guy on the side." Go, you go and call the 'Li Jin'er' sisters in the drama troupe to come out, I want her sisters to see what will happen to 'Shen Gan'er' who abused lynching on the drama and lost the face of the Hou Mansion. ”

'Shen Gan'er', who was still struggling, immediately asked rhetorically as soon as he heard Steward Niu say such a thing. "Butler Niu, are you mistaken? Mrs. Wang has already asked about this matter last night, the blame is not on me, but on the two sisters of 'Li Jin'er', didn't you hear Mrs. Yi's words clearly? "As he spoke, 'Shen Gan'er' struggled with both hands, and immediately got rid of the control of the two little guys, pinched his messy hair, and walked arrogantly in front of Niu Guanbin.

I saw 'Shen Gan'er' staring at each other, smiling coquettishly, and said coquettishly. "Butler Niu, I advise you to go out of the theater obediently. lest I go to Madame and sue you, and after I take you down, don't say that I will not stop thinking of you and I as slaves. ”

"Ha, ha," there were two more sneers, and the cow steward raised his shriveled and deep-set mouth and said. "'Shen Gan'er', don't be complacent. You are the one who came to arrest you today, and it is you who is fighting, what can you do with me. "After that, with a wave of both hands, and an order, the two young guys just looked at it, and viciously grabbed the 'Shen Gan'er' who still thought they had something to rely on, and couldn't move.

In the middle of it, I heard the cow steward waving his hand to the people who didn't know what was going on and said, "Don't make noise, don't make any noise, listen to me." The theater led the class 'Shen Gan'er', who was coquettish and vicious, cultivated henchmen, made evil friends, and abused lynching. caused the newcomer 'Li Jin'er' in the opera troupe to perform on the spot, causing the 'Hou Mansion' to lose face. ”

Suddenly startled, his eyes widened and glared at the cow steward who was guilty of all his guilt at this time. As if he was about to argue about something, Steward Niu said to himself again. "According to the rules of the Hou Mansion's family law, 'Shen Gan'er' should be whipped for thirty years, and he will be punished before and after, so as to follow suit." As he spoke, he stopped drinking, and he wanted to drink and make the two little men move to punish them.

At this time, I only heard a broken drink from outside the theater, and after the loud sound of "slow", Marquis Geng's had already walked in under the leadership of a small servant.

'Shen Gan'er' seemed to have suddenly met a big savior on the verge of death, and when she saw 'Marquis Sun' walk in, she suddenly held up the last glimmer of hope in her heart and shouted. "Master Hou, help. Master Hou, help! ”

When everyone saw that 'Marquis Geng' suddenly walked in, they flashed to both sides and made way for them. 'Marquis Geng' walked up to 'Shen Gan'er' without saying a word, glanced at her sideways, and said with a smile. ''Shen Gan'er', are you embarrassed to ask me to help? Yesterday, the 'Li Jin'er' who made your troupe lose face in the Hou Mansion in public, and it was already good that I didn't punish you for your big sin at the table. Now it's just a small punishment, and you're so heartbroken. ”

"Then let me ask you, when you abused the punishment of 'Li Jin'er', did you have a conscience and said that you would let her go? When their sisters begged you, did you think who was the master of this Hou Mansion? As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner's face to beat a dog, but did you see it at the time? Don't you know that the two sisters are the ones that your lord welcomed back from Gulan Town, thousands of miles away? ”

"You think that with Madame's favor for you, you can do whatever you want in the theater. I tell you now, although Madame promised last night not to hold you accountable, Madame did not say that I could not punish you today. And your accomplice in the troupe, get out and receive the punishment yourself, lest I get angry and cripple you. ”

All the actors and subordinates in the courtyard couldn't imagine that 'Marquis Geng' would say this, and for a while, they only felt full of doubts and at a loss, and they all became silent.

'Shen Gan'er' knew that he was powerless to return to heaven at this time, and that he would not be able to avoid today's disaster, so he had to viciously open his two blood-red eyes, and stared at 'Marquis Geng' fiercely and said angrily. "You are all masters and demons who eat people and don't spit out bones, and I hate you." And the one in the middle who helped 'Shen Gan'er' perform a punishment scene, under the intimidation of 'Marquis Geng', he silently stood up from the crowd.

She walked in front of Dong Yanzhi silently, and fell directly to her knees with a loud cry of 'wow', and cried again and again. "Sister Jin'er, I was wrong, I made it bad, and my sister was affected. Just spare me this time, I don't dare to listen to Sister Shen's crooked idea anymore. ”

Dong Yanzhi immediately walked out of the crowd and said a 'ten thousand blessings' to 'Marquis Geng' before saying to the female actor. "Sister, you get up first. My sister can't be the master of this matter, you go and beg Master Hou, maybe there is a glimmer of opportunity. After speaking, he turned around, didn't look at everyone again, and took Chunqiao's hand and floated away.

'Marquis Geng' stared at everything in front of him, and didn't say anything more. After a moment of silence, he suddenly waved his right hand at the cow steward, and then turned around abruptly.

Steward Niu understood, turned his head to look at everyone, and then waved his hand, giving the two little guys a strange look.

In the courtyard, the screams of 'Shen Gan'er' and the actor were immediately heard.
