Chapter 024: Our Chi Family
Yun Niang has been an errand boy in the Chi family for most of her life, and has been calculated countless times, and has calculated countless people, I thought that she was already old and refined, but this time she took Zijue's jade pendant to teach her a lesson, so that she should know that she should "honor" herself, the old man of the Chi family, and her nurse! But I didn't expect that I didn't take a jade pendant, but lifted a big stone.
When she went to Zi Jue's room to be a nurse, she was full of joy, because this eldest girl of the Chi family was not the other girls in the house, and she could scrape the oil and water hard: her plan was to make Zi Jue's money and wealth her own, and at least more than half of it would be scraped away to be worthy of her own errand.
In Yun Niang's thoughts, Zi Jue has been raised outside for more than ten years, and she must be an ignorant wild girl who has never seen the world; Isn't such a person still allowed her to be rounded and flattened, and she has to listen to herself in everything? What she never expected was that Zijue was actually a little temperamental, and she was also very hard.
Otherwise, where would she think of teaching Zijue a lesson; also said, if it weren't for her, the old man in the house, who saw the true thoughts of each room and everyone to Zi Jue, how could she dare to touch Zi Jue's things if she was given two dares?
Zi Jue was angry not only because Yun Niang took her things, but also because of the heart of the Chi family - although she didn't understand the rules of the big family, she knew very well about people's hearts; Therefore, what she wants to rectify is not just Yun Niang, but also a slap in the face of the Chi family.
She saw Yun Niang's face change greatly, and when she heard that the room was quiet all of a sudden, she sneered twice in her heart and shouted again: "It's really the jade pendant my mother gave me!" While talking, she rushed over and snatched the jade pendant fiercely, ignoring Yun Niang but looking carefully at the sun, and finally added a sentence: "It's mine." ”
Yun Niang wanted to stop Zi Jue, but her hands and feet didn't have half the strength at all, and she was thrown to the ground by Zi Jue all at once, and she didn't even have the strength to get up; She still wanted to argue, especially since she knew that it was very bad for her not to speak now, but she couldn't find the slightest excuse after covering her stomach, let alone a reason.
How to explain that the jade pendant is on her body? Now after Zi Jue yelled at Mrs. Chi and his wife that she had lost the jade pendant, she really couldn't explain it; If you really want to speak, it can only be darker and darker.
Insist that the jade is his own, and it is not Zijue's at all? She didn't have the courage to do so, because Mrs. Chi said very clearly, it was something handed down from the Chi family, not to mention that Chi Zifang knew it, and the old lady Chi and his wife present could even determine whether the jade pendant was left by Chi Zifang to the Wan family.
It is a dead end, and there is no other way for her to go except to confess her sins. Yun Niang cried and fell to the ground: "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid are just afraid that the eldest girl will not keep it well, so she put it away on her behalf, and she didn't have time to say a word to the eldest girl, and she would never dare to have that damn thought." ”
Mo Chou and Bang Qing helped Zi Jue up, and Mo Chou sent the jade pendant to the old lady Chi with a gloomy face; No one in the room paid attention to Yun Niang, because the reason she said was too ridiculous - it was really a custodian to wear it on herself, and she would hear Zi Jue say that the jade was missing and not speak?
Old lady Chi looked at the jade carefully, glared at the old wife and handed the jade over: "You can also take a look." Of course, he could see that the jade was real, and he was really angry about how the ancestral things of the Chi family could get into Yun Niang's hands.
It's not that he thinks that his old wife Lao Zhuhuang is unwilling to go to her room, but he really can't see the old wife's behavior, especially a few people under her; It's too much to say, after all, it's a matter of the inner house, what's going on with him as a big man looking at the inner house every day? Besides, he's very busy, and he doesn't have the heart to care about this.
His wife has always been quite measured, and most of the things at home are passable, so he doesn't bother to ask too much; I didn't expect such a thing to happen today, where is this old face of his going to go? Where does the Chi family's door style exist?
Mrs. Chi looked at the jade in her hand and turned pale with anger, not that she didn't know Yun Niang's greed for money, but Yun Niang also knew what kind of money could be moved and what kind of money could not be moved. didn't expect that this Yun Niang was far inferior to Rui Niang, and she actually dared to stretch out her hand to Zi Jue's body.
Zi Jue is indeed not as delicate as the girl raised in the house, to be honest, she didn't really have any ancestral affection for her, but Zi Jue's identity is there, she is a serious girl of the Chi family, how can she be a servant who can be bullied? ! Especially in front of the old lady, she felt that Yun Niang had slapped her hard.
Old Ancestor Chi asked for the jade to come over and take a look: "It's not bad at all, it's this piece of jade." Yun Niang, what else do you have to say now? ”
Zi Jue didn't say anything more, just hung her head and made tears: whether there were tears or not, her handkerchief had to be wiped from time to time; Next, I believe that with the discord between Old Ancestor Chi and Old Lady Chi, Yun Niang will not get cheap, right? What's more, there is still Mrs. Chi here, so I have to give her an explanation.
She didn't want to arouse too much vigilance from the Chi family, so it was better to act like a child.
Old lady Chi looked at Zi Jue, soothed Wen Yan for a few words, and then snorted coldly: "Tell everyone in all rooms to come over, today I want everyone in the Chi family to know that Zi Jue is the eldest girl of our Chi family, and her noble status will never allow anyone to be insulted!" Especially since she has suffered a lot outside, we, the elders and relatives, should have more pity and love for her. ”
Mrs. Chi immediately sent the girl out to spread the word, and went over to pull Zi Jue over to sit beside her, stroked her hair and sighed: "What the master said is that Zi Jue is our heart, and no one will be allowed to touch a single hair of our Zi Jue." ”
Zi Jue honestly snuggled up to Mrs. Chi's side, and didn't say a word except for the occasional sob; Seeing her well-behaved, Mrs. Chi and his wife were still very satisfied: it was a child's house, and they didn't know what to do except crying, if it was the other girls in the house, they would now be held accountable for Yun Niang.
Of course, the appearance still has to be done; not only to An Zijue's heart, but also to let the people of the Chi family know that no matter what they think in their hearts, this superficial effort must be done enough; Because of the disrespect of Zi Jue, the subordinates slapped the Chi family in the face, you must know that Zi Jue deserves the identity of the eldest girl of the Chi family.
Old Ancestor Chi closed his eyes, and did not say anything to appease Zi Jue, just like when he first met Zi Jue, he was a little cold, and he didn't take Zi Jue to heart at all; In comparison, Mrs. Chi has to treat Zijue too much.
Seeing that all the rooms of the Chi family quickly rushed over, Zi Jue knew that the prestige of Old Lady Chi in the mansion was much higher than that of Old Lady Chi.
Zi Jue's residence is just a guest house, and the hall is not too big - I don't know if this is the reason or there are rules, the aunts all stayed outside the door, and the men and housewives who came in were all in each room; The aunts stood quietly outside the door, some of them still holding things in their hands, ready to serve people at all times.
Although it was a little strange, of course Zi Jue's mind would not stay on the aunts of the Chi family, and when she saw Mrs. Chi and others coming in, she hurriedly got up and saluted.
Xia also stood up, and finally stopped being like an invisible person, and sat down under Mrs. Chi after meeting the concubines; And Mrs. Second Aunt Chi also arrived, she sat first on the right, her eyes turned on Zi Jue's face, as if it was inadvertent, but there was too much pickiness and dissatisfaction in it.
The next seat of Mrs. Chi Ergu is the girls of the Chi family, but the eldest and young masters of the Chi family have no seats, so they can only stand behind their parents: Zijue is also puzzled, because men are inferior to women, but there is nothing wrong with this, anyway, she doesn't want to stand when she can sit.
Old Madam Chi opened her mouth to call Zi Jue to sit beside her, but she didn't expect Zi Jun to pounce on her, and she threw herself into her arms and twisted up: "Grandmother, Jun'er misses you." As he spoke, he didn't forget to look up and glare at Zi Jue, and pursed his lips with disdain; Because she was carrying Mrs. Chi and her husband behind her back, no one saw her strange appearance except for Zijue, Mrs. Chi and Xia's family.
Xia only saw half of her small side face, and Mrs. Chi only saw half of her side face, and she didn't see it very seriously; However, Mrs. Chi's brows were already wrinkled: "Jun'er......"
Mrs. Chi had already waved her hand: "Don't set rules for her, it's not easy for a little person to be a little person; Okay, Jun'er sat next to her grandmother. Don't make any more trouble, or your grandfather will punish you for writing big letters. ”
Zi Jue glared at Zi Jun fiercely, and then sat down to the right of Old Lady Chi angrily, without looking at Zi Jun; Her gaze swept over the girls of the Chi family, and she saw only the smile of the second girl, Ziqi, and the expressions of curiosity and contempt appeared on the faces of the other girls of the Chi family.
Old lady Chi didn't reprimand Zi Jun, and her gaze was very soft when she looked at her; Zi Jue knew that this sixth girl was the heart of Mrs. Chi and his wife-she? Hey, it's not comparable.
Old lady Chi didn't say much, she repeated the words just now, and emphasized again: "Zijue is the granddaughter of my in-laws, the eldest girl of our Chi family, our relatives; We should all ......"
"Grandpa," a woman stood up, but her title was different from Zi Jue and the others, she should be the daughter of Mrs. Chi's second aunt: "You said that she is from our Chi family, and it is too early to say this; Even if there is jade as evidence, but it is possible for jade to go to anyone's hands, and it can't be determined on this basis, right? In case, wouldn't our Chi family become a joke in the whole capital? ”
Zi Jue looked up, and very unceremoniously grabbed in front of Old Lady Chi and asked her, "You, who are you?" ”
The woman raised her chin and replied proudly: "You don't even know who I am, and you dare to say that you are from our Chi family?" ”
Old Lady Chi's brows furrowed: "Wan'er, don't talk nonsense!" After speaking, he looked at his daughter: "How did you teach your daughter?" ”
Zi Jue ignored the reaction of the old lady Chi, and walked up to the woman named Wan: "Your surname is Chi?" ”
Wan'er's face turned red all of a sudden, glaring at Zijue but not speaking; A milky voice came from the opposite side: "Eldest sister, her surname is Jiang, and she is our cousin." Seeing Zi Jue turn around, the third lady Yu in front of him smiled: "This is your little brother Xuanbi." Xuanbi, I won't give you a gift for my eldest sister. ”
Zi Jue looked at the little man with pink makeup and smiled, turned his head and raised his hand to point at Jiang Wan's nose: "Who do you say is not the Chi family, you are not serious; The people of our Chi family are all surnamed Chi, my surname is Chi, and all the brothers, brothers and sisters here are surnamed Chi, so we can say that we are Chi family - do you understand? ”
