Chapter 249: The Smiling Man

Dongxing and Wen Yi arrived at the door of the main room in the inner courtyard, and the mother-in-law who led the way stopped, hesitated, turned around and smiled: "Uncle Xing and Xingda* Grandma, please wait here for a while, and the little one will go into the house to report." ”

Dongxing didn't say anything, Wen Yi smiled slightly: "Trouble Mom." ”

The woman laughed dryly, lifted the curtain and went in, but never came out.

Wen Yi glanced around the courtyard, and only saw four or five girls gathered in the corner of the verandah, sitting in groups doing needlework, as if they didn't notice anything, they didn't even raise their heads, and they didn't sweep the corners of their eyes. She clearly saw that there was a girl who wanted to raise her head several times, but was stopped by another girl next to her who pulled her sleeve, and she couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart, so she looked eastward and said with a smile: "In the past, I only said that the third aunt was a strict person, and she acted the most harshly, but I was still a little afraid of her, but I didn't expect to come to ask for peace today, only to find out that I misunderstood her old man in the past." In fact, the third aunt is the most tolerant, don't look at her in front of outsiders, she is so disciplined, but in fact, in her own home, she is very easy-going, and she is not strict with the girls. ”

The corners of Liu Dongxing's mouth curled, and he raised his voice cooperatively: "Oh? How do you say that? The second aunt has always had very strict rules for housekeeping, and even outsiders know about this, how could the lady have such an idea? ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "If the third aunt is really very strict in the rules and can't be relaxed at all, how can the subordinates in this mansion act so casually?" Not to mention that it takes two quarters of an hour to make a report, and when I see the master of the clan, I turn a blind eye, even outside the door of the main house of the housewife, there is no girl and daughter-in-law who are ready to listen to the orders to set up rules, and they have to reach out to open the curtain. The third aunt was raised by her eldest aunt and grandmother, and she is the most knowledgeable, how can she not know this? That's why I said that her old man couldn't be more tolerant, tight on the outside and loose on the inside, which is deeply in line with Zhang Chi's way. ”

Liu Dongxing couldn't help but smile and winked at her, with a look of praise on his face. Wen Yi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and listened attentively to the movements in the room. The girls in the verandah looked at each other, and they all looked over, hesitating whether they should get up to salute, but the girl who wanted to look up was only half of the way up, and was forced back to the little pestle by the girl next to her. The others immediately turned back and continued to work with their heads bowed as before.

Wen Yi's face was cold, and he didn't care about them, but he secretly mocked in his heart, Liu Gu was still a lady of Shangshu, but she didn't even know how to do superficial work.

There was finally movement in the room, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came out, looking at the dress, she was obviously a somewhat decent person, and the fat powder on her face was also finely painted, showing a bit of posture. She lifted half of the curtain, and the expression on her face was really not kind, but she said lightly: "Madame sent the two in." ”

Liu Dongxing glanced at her coldly, she was stunned, she couldn't help but shiver, barely squeezed out a smile, and raised the curtain a few points higher: "Madame, please go in, uncle, big * milk in." ”

Liu Dongxing strode in, Wen Yi followed with a faint smile, moved the lotus step into the door, and glanced back at her: "I'm tired of the girl." The gestures are full of everyone's demeanor, which not only shows the respect for the servants and maids around the elders, but also puts on a different posture of the master and servant.

The girl bit her lip unwillingly, lowered the curtain, and showed a hint of humiliation.

Liu Gu sat on the main seat of the main hall, wearing half-old homely clothes, still blue clothes and gray skirts, with anger on his face, when he saw Dongxing and Wen Yi coming in, he glanced at them coldly, then looked away, casually reached out to pick up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

Liu Dongxing's face was a little heavy. The second uncle has already spoken, and the second aunt still has such an attitude, which is too much. He glanced at the mother-in-law who had just led the way.

The mother-in-law trembled and looked at Liu Gu anxiously, not understanding why the lady acted like this even though she knew that the master had spoken.

The girl who was wearing the curtain just now came over, stood beside Liu Gu's, and said coldly: "Uncle Xing, Xing Da * milk, why don't you give Mrs. a gift?" The new daughter-in-law enters the door, but there are rules."

Wen Yi saw that the girl standing next to her was holding two futons in her hands, but she kept lowering her head and did not move, but she did not panic, staring at her calmly, the girl looked embarrassed, and looked at Liu Gu hesitantly, but Liu Gu was still there with her head down and drinking tea, she looked at the girl Fang Cai again, but the girl rolled her eyes, raised her head high, and showed a mocking expression.

Wen Yi sneered in her heart, pulled Liu Dongxing's sleeve, and then stepped forward and bowed down with a smile: "My nephew and daughter-in-law have seen the second aunt, please say hello to the second aunt." ”

Liu Dongxing was happy when he saw it, and he also bent over: "My nephew has seen the second aunt, and I have asked the second aunt to say goodbye." "You don't have to kneel and kowtow, it's cheaper for him.

When the two got up, they both stepped aside.

Liu Gu's face was a little unsightly, holding the teacup in his hand, trembling slightly, and he was about to fall to the ground, and only after a while did he say, "You are here?" Why don't you know how to count etiquette? I don't know how to kowtow when I see my aunt? ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "The second aunt loves us, and she pities that the princess will set off to fight for the country in the near future, so she deliberately asked the girls not to take the futon, so as not to kowtow to us, just salute." Rest assured, your kindness is known in our hearts and will never be forgotten. ”

Liu Gu couldn't hold back any longer: "When did I say something like this?" Didn't you see me drinking tea? When I'm done drinking tea, it's not too late for you to kowtow."

Wen Yi was surprised: "Just now, this girl didn't wait for the second aunt to finish drinking tea, so she was in a hurry to let us give the second aunt a gift, we still think it was the second aunt's meaning, so we didn't dare to slack off at all, didn't it?" ”

Liu Gu's face couldn't hold it, and the teacup in his hand immediately beckoned to the girl: "Who told you to make your own decisions,?" ”

The girl was splashed with tea, her face was shocked, she couldn't believe that her wife, who had always favored her, actually gave herself such a big faceless in front of a room full of girls, and her face turned red, and she turned her head and ran out. Liu Gu was still scolding there: "A half-grown girl who hasn't grown all her hair dares to be presumptuous in front of me?" I don't care about you on weekdays, so you think you can climb on top of me? Don't look at who you are? ”

Liu Dongxing's face sank, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, and he was about to step forward to reason with her, but he was grabbed by Wen Yi, and when he turned around, he found that his wife was still smiling, and he couldn't see the anger at all. He calmed down a little, and originally planned to just say some scenes, so he withdrew to go to the study to see the second uncle, but at this time he had changed his mind.

How could he let his beloved little wife face the evil woman's poisonous tongue alone?

Wen Yi still smiled slightly, and stepped forward to Liu Gu's and said, "Second aunt, don't be angry, the girls are not good, the second aunt teaches slowly, why bother to be angry for them?" ”

Liu Gu was choked by her words, glared at her and said, "What? I discipline the girl in my own room, do you want to interfere too? ”

Wen Yi smiled and said, "My nephew and daughter-in-law don't dare, but I'm afraid that the second aunt will be angry." This family still depends on the second aunt, if your body is good, then what can you do? ”

Liu Gu took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "I haven't died so easily, you can rest assured" and then opened his eyes and glared at her fiercely.

Wen Yi was still smiling like a flower: "Yes, don't worry, nephew and daughter-in-law, you will definitely live a long life." He stepped forward and picked up the teapot from the table, opened another teacup with one hand, poured most of the cup of tea, and presented it to Liu Gu's face, "You dissipate your anger, your old man is now a second-class wife, and his children are complete, and the second brother will marry a daughter-in-law soon, and within two years, he will hold his grandson, and it is the time to enjoy happiness, but he can't delay his own body, otherwise, who else in this family can bear that great blessing?" ”

Liu Gu's heart couldn't help but think crookedly, if he couldn't enjoy this great blessing, would he be cheaper than the Bai family? Thinking about it, before I knew it, I drank the tea. Seeing this, the corners of Wen Yi's mouth curled slightly, and slowly retreated to Liu Dongxing's side. Liu Dongxing smiled at the corner of his mouth, and secretly stretched out his hand under his sleeve and held her. She stiffened, the smile on her face could barely be maintained, and she secretly glanced at him before she broke free and put on the appearance of a virtuous little daughter-in-law. Liu Dongxing held back a smile, glanced at Liu Gu with cold eyes, and sneered in his heart.

When Liu Gu sobered up from her thoughts, she also reacted, stared at the tea cup in her hand, put it on the table angrily, squinted at Wen Yi, and sneered slightly: "Brother Xing's daughter-in-law, being smart is not used at this time, even in front of the elders, you are so disrespectful, and you are not afraid to make people laugh at your tutor when you pass it on."

Wen Yi's face was solemn, and she said: "Second aunt, nephew and daughter-in-law's maiden family is the same as the second aunt's maiden family, how can you say that you are your maiden family?" There is no problem with the Gu family's tutoring, otherwise they would not have taught someone like you, the second aunt."

Liu Gu was annoyed: "You and I are not in the same room, your rules are not my mother's tutor, don't have anything to do with your six rooms"

Wen Yi frowned slightly: "Second aunt, although the Gu family's room and the sixth room are not the same room, they are an ancestor, and they abide by the rules passed down from the ancestors. How can you think that you don't have anything to do with the six rooms? Although the nephew and daughter-in-law are juniors, this is unbearable, today the nephew and daughter-in-law are only the second aunt is confused and said the wrong thing, if you say this again, the nephew and daughter-in-law will go back and ask the Gu clan patriarch The daughter born to the Gu family's long house, how can you not recognize the ancestor? ”

Liu Gu's face turned white with anger, she explicitly hinted for a long time, but she didn't have any good words, how could these nine girls be so evasive and light, and just crooked her words to other meanings? also poured a large basin of sewage on her head, if she endured it, wouldn't she be bullied by the nine girls in the future?

She was about to have a seizure, but she heard the girls report outside the house: "Madam, the master is here." His face changed suddenly, he gritted his teeth secretly, and then got up to meet him, and heard the girl who ran out just now lifted the curtain, and Liu Fu walked in. Liu Gu suddenly glared at the girl, suspecting that the girl had specially sued her.

The girl was pale--she just happened to be outside the door, and when she saw the old man coming, she opened the curtain, what did the lady's eyes mean?

Liu Fu entered the main hall and sat down, glanced at Liu Dongxing and Wen Yi, and saw that the little couple were both submissive-Liu Dongxing had passed through his wife's "demonstration" and also understood her intentions, and also pretended to be like this-so he turned his head to look at Liu Gu dissatisfied, and asked her: "Didn't I say it, I was waiting for Brother Xing'er to go to the study to talk?" How did you procrastinate? How much effort does it take to salute and make a tea? ”

Liu Gu's face showed grievances: "The two juniors refuse to kowtow, and even the tea ceremony is disrespectful, if they are let go like this, where do we have face as elders?" After that, he glared at Liu Dongxing and Wen Yi again.

Liu Fu was half-convinced, he knew what kind of character his wife was, looked at Liu Dongxing, saw him show a look of surprise and puzzlement, and then looked at Wen Yi, who was still that supple appearance, and looked at the table, there was still a half-drunk tea cup on it, and the girl standing on the side was still holding the old futon, which was clearly a posture of having already saluted and saluted tea. He immediately became impatient: "Haven't you seen all the courtesies?" What else are you going to make trouble? I still have something to discuss with Brother Xing'er, so you can stop me for a while."

Liu Gu was so angry that he almost fainted, after decades of husband and wife, didn't her husband even give her this face? In front of the girl and the juniors, she was given no face like this, and her eyes immediately turned red and her eyes were full of tears.

Liu Fu closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xing'er has a good day, you are not unlucky, could it be that when Brother Ning married his daughter-in-law, you were also like this?" If you are an elder, you must look like an elder, and don't show jokes to juniors."

Liu Dongxing smiled and persuaded him: "Second uncle, you dissipate your anger, the second aunt must be in a bad mood because Brother Ning is still sick and worried." We are juniors, it's okay to be a little angry, but you must not be angry. ”

Liu Fu looked at Liu Dongxing in surprise, and saw his sincere appearance, he wasn't sure if he was pretending, or if he had really grown? Said slowly: "It seems that you have become a family, and you are more sensible than before, and you know how to be considerate of your elders." That's fine, and that's going to be the same in the future. Liu Dongxing smiled and lowered his head.

Liu Gu raised his head suddenly, and sneered: "I don't see where he is the slightest bit sensible?" I waited for him at home for a morning, and he didn't come until this time, and people who didn't know, and when they were unruly, they were only on the second day of their wedding, and they slept until three poles in the morning, and they were so snub to their uncles and aunts, and they didn't even have any filial piety."

Wen Yi explained softly: "The second aunt misunderstood, Xianggong and I went to worship the spiritual seat of my father-in-law and mother-in-law when I got up early, put on incense, and kowtowed. ”

Liu Gu was even more angry: "Are you refuting me, saying that your uncle and mother-in-law are not as noble as your serious mother-in-law?" ”

Wen Yi was surprised: "What's wrong with the second aunt?" Throughout the ages, when it comes to filial piety, it is natural to put parents first. ”

Liu Gu was about to say more, but Liu Fu glared at her: "What are you crazy about?" She gritted her teeth and said, "It's not that I'm crazy, I just can't stand it, this nephew and daughter-in-law have no rules, and I don't know who taught it?" ”

Wen Yi said lightly: "Why did the second aunt forget?" The nephew and daughter-in-law are the daughters of the Gu family, so they naturally learned and taught them in the Gu family. The daughter of the Gu family, but everyone who grew up in the clan has to go to school, aren't you the same? ”

Liu Gu sneered: "Now you still know how to push it to the head of the boudoir?" Well, I'd like to ask, which gentleman is so confused."

Wen Yi raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were neither humble nor arrogant: "The gentlemen of the boudoir are all daughters of famous families, and they are both talented and virtuous, otherwise the eldest uncle and grandmother would not have ordered the second aunt of the Gu family to invite her personally." ”

Liu Gu was suddenly suffocated, and Liu Fu hurriedly restrained her: "Okay, let's say a few words" Wen Yi immediately bowed to him: "Please also ask the second uncle to forgive the sin, the nephew and daughter-in-law just saw the second aunt's words insulting the eldest uncle and grandmother of the mother's family, and she was anxious, so she couldn't help but defend two sentences." ”

Liu Gu was so angry that he trembled, he couldn't get up in one breath, and he couldn't say anything.
