Zhuo Zhaojie was angry, and he didn't have much for dinner, so he asked Minghe to study ink and write a letter to Zhuo Zhaocui, and Minghe persuaded him: "Although the 'girl' has such a speculation now, the chief manager may not say this?" For example, there is a filth here that the chief manager thinks is not suitable for 'girls'? It's better to wait tomorrow to see what the old lady means before writing it, otherwise, Zhuo Langjun is studying in the academy now, in case there is no thing, how bad is it to be 'messed up'? ”

“…… Also! Zhuo Zhaojie was afraid of disturbing Zhuo Zhaocui's hard reading, so he put the pen back, and said angrily, "I don't know who is so shameless!" Filthy people out of thin air! ”

Minghe said kindly: "The chief manager has some clues now, the chief manager has always been 'shrewd', where will Erlang suffer a loss?" Besides, Wei Ling has always respected Ah Gong, and the chief manager also said that Wei Ling is very protective of Erlang in the court, not to mention that it really can't be fake, since Erlang hasn't done those things, sooner or later he will have to find out! ”

Mingji also said: "With the prestige of the You family in Moling, how can it be possible to slander Erlang? Just see that the person who is the plaintiff is a splash skin, and he knows the truth or falsehood, and now Wei Ling is timid, otherwise he will be directly punished for false accusation, and the killing 'stick' will knock down a layer of skin, so that he knows how powerful! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie thought about it, and then settled it after some gossip.

The next day, when he came to Ban's side, Ban asked with a smile: "You weren't angry for not leaving you yesterday?" ”

"It's a little." Zhuo Zhaojie pouted, and then said, "I am the one who instructed Zhao San to falsely accuse his second cousin behind the anger. ”

"You're also angry that person is involved in Hachiro, right?" Ban Shi didn't know what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "I said the same thing yesterday, but this matter may not be so simple. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised: "What? ”

"The people from the ya'men told You Ji 'in private' that such a ridiculous false accusation would have been kicked out without even alarming our family, but Wei Ling's superiors refused, so they had to open the court." Ban Shi smiled, "The head of the Moling County Order is Meng Yuanhao, the Taishou of Moling...... Speaking of which, it is still a relative of our family, and they also have contacts during the New Year, aren't you also familiar with the lady of the Meng family? Now Meng Yuanhao is embarrassed by our family without saying a word, I'm afraid this involves Chang'an! ”

“…… Could it be with my step-grandmother? Zhuo Zhaojie asked with a slight change in his face.

Ban shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, your step-grandmother Shen, she is a member of the Shen family in Chixian County, under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao, and your grandfather is an aunt and cousin, this Shen family was also very prosperous when the first emperor, and there was a prime minister in the clan, but unfortunately that Shen Xiangfu was thin, and he went not long after, and then there has been no 'colorful' character, and now the highest official position is just Jiyang Taishou, the state and county are the parents of the official, and Jiyang County is far away in the north, and her hand can't be stretched so long." ”

If it weren't for the Shen family, even if the Marquis of Minping preferred the young sons and young 'daughters' born to the stepfamily, he would not block the way of his grandson...... That's probably what Minpinghou's political enemies are for......

It's just that Chang'an is far away, but the enemies and friends of the Minping Marquis are not clear to the You family - Ban said: "What's more, your grandfathers and grandchildren have many grandchildren, although your brothers and sisters are descendants, but they will not be so blind that people will chase thousands of miles to Jiangnan to deal with him, and I don't know if Zhaocui is going south to make people suspicious...... Anyway, let's write to your mother about this matter first. ”

Ban's side was thinking about how to explain to the 'daughter', but the second lady hurriedly led You Can and several subordinates over, You Can rarely drooped his head and didn't dare to look at Ban's after coming in, seeing this situation, Zhuo Zhaojie still didn't understand? Sure enough, the second lady entered the 'door' and said: "Mother, the daughter-in-law and 'wife' brought Canniang to ask for sin." ”

He said, "It just so happens that Zhaojie is also here, and my aunt will make a ...... with you first."

"Uncle, where are you talking about this?" Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly got up to avoid her salute, and Ban Shi asked suspiciously: "What is this?" ”

The second lady hated that the iron was not steel, and pushed You Can forward, and shouted: "Why don't you tell your grandmother about the day you swim in the lake?" While explaining, "Mother, they actually met a noble person on the day they swam in the lake, which can be corroborated by Ju Lang, but they don't even dare to mention it if they have a ghost in their hearts!" ”

You Can was rarely so timid in front of her grandmother, and whispered what had happened, although she tried her best to tell that the falcon flew without warning, and Zhuo Zhaojie was now in front of her, Ban was still frightened - pulled her to the front and carefully looked at it, confirmed that the skin was not broken a little, and then said with a cold face according to her heart: "You are really big, and you all have ideas!" ”

Ban's tone was very harsh, Zhuo Zhaojie and You Can knew that they were wrong, and they both knelt down to ask for guilt, the second lady came over in such a hurry all for her son, but she didn't have the heart to wait to see her grandmother teach her grandson's daughter', so she immediately had the courage to stop the conversation and said: "Mother, they are also confused for a while, not to mention that this matter is indeed an accident, fortunately, Zhaojie Fuda, caught up with the son of the world to come to the rescue, and later Ju Lang also thanked the son of the world again and again, mother, please think, isn't this a ready-made proof?" ”

"Do you think that the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng is a ready-made proof, but I don't know if you have asked if you have asked the respect of the prince of the world if you are willing to go to the court to prove it to your son?" Ban asked coldly, "Let's talk about these things that don't understand the rules!" It's okay to hide from the elders - let me ask you, after thanking you on the boat that day, did you go home to send someone or personally go to the other courtyard of the prince in Jiangnan to go to the 'door' to thank you? ”

Seeing that You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, the second lady was also taken aback: "Why did you ...... later?"

"That Ning Shizi was very cold on the boat, and he only said a few little things that he didn't have to remember, and he didn't pay much attention to Zhaojie's thanks several times, and he didn't sit long before he went back to his ship, so we ...... We think that if we go to the 'door', it may annoy him......" You Can timidly explained, "After all, people are noble and princes, and there are too many people who come to the 'door' to visit and flatter after coming to Jiangnan, let's ......"

"Hey!" Ban asked the second lady, "You said that now you have this face to go to the 'door'?" That's the son of the world, but it's not an ordinary family! If Ju Lang is the son of the world, what do you think of such a rude person coming to the 'door' again to ask Ju Lang to prove it? ”

The second lady was speechless, and for a while, she loved her son in the end, and whispered: "Maybe...... Maybe there are a lot of adults? ”

Ban Shi instructed noncommittally: "Can Niang go back to the second room and be grounded for three months and do ten needles and threads!" If the time is not enough, you are not allowed to go out of the second room! If you don't finish the needlework or don't do it well, you are not allowed to go out of the big 'door'! Ju Lang now has a lawsuit, and then he will be punished, and when Xuan Lang comes back, he will also go back to the fourth room, and let Xiao Lang watch that he is allowed to sleep only after writing 300 big characters every day, and he will write for three months! ”

The three grandchildren were punished, but Zhuo Zhaojie didn't escape, Ban glanced at her deeply, "Zhaojie is not allowed to go out of the 'door' from now on!" Like Canniang, he was punished with ten pieces of needlework and thread, and copied the "Book of Rites" ten times! ”

You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie wailed in their hearts, but they knew that they were wrong, and they didn't dare to argue about being coquettish, so they all obediently agreed, and they were glad that although they were grounded and punished for needlework and copying books, they didn't have to be beaten.

I don't want Ban to say again: "Thinking that you are all old now, the little mother's family wants to be faced, so the family law will not be invited first, Coral will go and get a ring ruler, and slap the palms of the two of them ten times each, don't use force!" ”

Coral said carefully, "Yes! ”

"Ju Lang and Xuan Lang, wait for their grandfather to come back and move the family law together!" Ban slapped the small case in front of him hard, "Don't be an eyesore here!" Go out and be flogged! ”

When You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie heard that they were going to be beaten, their faces changed, especially Zhuo Zhaojie, who had always been held and coaxed by Ban like a jewel, I thought that everyone was beaten this time, and it didn't matter if I was so frightened, right? Unexpectedly, the punishment was heavier than You Can, and tears were about to fall.

But this time Ban was determined to teach them a lesson, and hated them for concealing the big things, so he turned his head away from their begging eyes, and the tortoiseshell had to whisper to persuade them to withdraw.

Just in the courtyard, Coral came back with a ring ruler in both hands, and said to the two with a wry smile: "Sanniang, Qiniang, the old lady has a life, and the maid is offended!" ”

"You can do it." You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie were all in tears in their eyes, and they bit their lips together.

Ban's orders are not allowed not to be forced, but Coral does not dare to take out his dead strength to fight, of course, he does not dare to release the water, twenty precepts down, the two pampered young ladies have a layer of swollen left hands, the red palms look unbearable, Coral lowered his head and said: "The maid went in and went back to the old lady." ”

After a while, she came out and conveyed Ban's words: "The old lady asked Sanniang and Qiniang to go back to their own rooms, and ten days later to check the extent of the first embroidery and Qiniang's copying. ”

"We got it." The cousins glanced at each other, they were all full of misery, and they left Duanyi Yuan step by step.

Back in Binwei Courtyard, Ming 'Yin' and Ming Ye, who were guarding the 'door', greeted them with a smile as usual, and were about to say a few words of laughter, before they hooked the corners of their mouths and were immediately silenced by Minghe and Mingji's flying eye knives one after another, only then did they notice that Zhuo Zhaojie's face was full of tears, and she actually cried all the way back, because she knew that she was going to Duanyi Yuan - the whole You family knew that Ban's most eccentric grandchild' was 'confused' and 'confused', but they didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly accompanied them into the house, and Minghe ordered: "Take some external application of 'medicine' to reduce swelling." ”

Ming 'Yin' was busy, took a step and said embarrassedly: "This ...... We don't seem to have that kind of 'medicine'. ”

"Then wring the veil." Minghe sighed.

The cold cloth was applied for half an hour, Zhuo Zhaojie felt that the pain in his left hand had faded a little, Ming Ye looked at Chenguang and fetched water to serve her to wash her face, so busy, it was time for lunch, and the food was delivered in the big kitchen, which was as rich as usual, but Zhuo Zhaojie naturally lost his appetite, and after a few moves, he let him clean up.

Minghe said cautiously: "The 'girl' looks tired, so it's better to go to the bed under the apricot tree for a nap." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie didn't say a word, but in the end he approved this suggestion.

After she fell asleep, Ming 'Yin' and Ming Ye dared to ask the reason.

Minghe roughly said the reason, and told them: "The 'girl' has always been favored by the old lady, this time, the old lady is also very painful, the 'girl' Lang ordered to move the ring ruler, if it is not distressed and can't bear to look at it, how can the 'girl' and Sanniang go to the 'door' to receive the ring ruler?" It's just that the 'girl' is young and tender-faced, this is the first time she has been beaten, you all have to be careful, don't 'show' traces and embarrass the 'girl'! ”

The three of them agreed, and said: "It's okay to copy the book, the needlework ...... the 'girl' has never moved the needle......"

"The old lady is also on fire today, and she will be punished for three months—how is it possible? It is estimated that in a few days, the second lady and the fourth lady will ask for intercession, or Zhuo Langjun will return from the academy, and the old lady will have to find an excuse to be spared. Minghe said indifferently, "Just Mingye will work hard, make a few random pieces, and let the 'girl' take it out so that the old lady can step down...... The old lady didn't even say the size of the embroidery, you just chose the small and inconspicuous one to do, and the stitches were relaxed, so that people could not see at a glance that it was not the handwriting of the 'girl'. ”
