Chapter 3: The Price of Rumors
"You're dressed up. A sarcastic voice sounded from outside Su Jinyin's door.
Su Jinyin knew that this was her usually harsh mother, Zheng, and when she arrived, she immediately got up and went to the door to greet her.
This swift move failed to please Zheng.
Zheng asked harshly, "Now that you're fine, why are you refusing your second cousin to be outside the door?"
"Naqiao?" Zheng's words sounded like a question, but in fact it was a sentence. As soon as her words were cold, she scolded Su Jinyin, "Kneel!"
Even though he was prepared, Su Jinyin still felt that his face was burning and hurting at the moment. The subordinates are all around, and the mother Zheng doesn't save a little face for herself like this.
People who have died once are always better able to distinguish the pros and cons.
Su Jinyin knew that she was not yet ready to compete with the Zheng family, so she knelt down cleanly, and then explained to the Zheng family: "My daughter has no such intention. It's just that although the second cousin is kind, but before the elder brother comes, he preemptively ......"
Syllable!
Before he finished speaking, Su Jinyin was slapped by Zheng and fell to the ground.
She touched the right side of her cheek, hid the self-deprecation at the corner of her lips, and knelt down again.
Zheng bent down and poked his finger into Su Jinyin's face: "You yourself are shameless, and you are involved in your brother! If there is another such thing, you will still die clean!"
It really doesn't look like what a mother would say to her daughter. Su Jinyin reined in his thoughts, and made the severity clear in a few words: "My daughter doesn't want anyone to slander her eldest brother." The second cousin rushed over in front of the eldest brother, and he got enough of this kind reputation, but when it gets out, people will think of my eldest brother!"
"You still dare to make up randomly!" Zheng was still angry, she kicked Su Jinyin a few times, and only refused to give up until Su Jinyin was knocked down.
Su Jinyin knew that Zheng didn't listen to himself carefully at all.
She lowered her eyebrows, no longer arguing.
Zheng has been hot-tempered over the years, and has even lost control many times. But the back house of this Su Mansion is still quite peaceful, which shows that the Zheng family is not all confused.
Su Jinyin could see that an old lady stepped forward and pulled Zheng's sleeve.
Zheng's eyes swept Su Jinyin coldly, flicked his sleeves and entered the room: "Come in and talk to me!"
The old lady also came to help Su Jinyin in person: "Miss, get up quickly." ”
Su Jinyin thanked him and immediately followed up in the room.
She didn't hide it, and told what she had really heard at this time in her previous life: "A few days ago, my daughter heard the girl Tuesday say that one of the people in this session was reported for being restless, because when this person wanted to worship Zhou Shangshu's disciples, he was directly reprimanded for not being able to manage the whole family. ”
"My daughter has been hearing the maids quarrel over the second cousin's visit recently. I couldn't think about this at first, but when I thought about it, my daughter was shocked into a cold sweat. The second cousin's recommendation is imminent, and if the name of benevolence is spread, it will be a great prospect. But the New Year is coming, and the eldest brother is also at home. I am the eldest brother's sister-in-law, but the first and repeated visits are all second cousins, where is the reputation of the eldest brother?"
Su Jinyin said very carefully, she knew that the Zheng family couldn't listen to it, but it was good that there were people around the Zheng family who could listen to it.
In fact, when it comes to the eldest son, the Zheng family is still somewhat sensible. She pondered Su Jinyin's words carefully and understood the key to this.
Zheng was furious, slapped the table and said, "This wolf-hearted thing wants to step on me!"
"Go, call Zheng Duozhi to the main courtyard for me!" Zheng had lost his previous politeness to his nephew.
Su Jinyin was not surprised by Zheng's reaction. She was even more looking forward to Zheng's reaction later.
In her previous life, her second cousin came at the right time.
Sure enough, the voice of the old lady sounded outside the door: "Madam, the young master asks to see me." ”
"When did he come?" Zheng personally pulled the door open and looked out. In the courtyard, Young Master Zheng was dressed in a blue green gown, embroidered with a green bamboo pattern, graceful and elegant.
However, in Zheng's eyes, the young man's high-spirited appearance was particularly dazzling.
"Have you come here today to touch the second wall?" Zheng stood at the door, his face displeased.
Zheng Duozhi thought that his aunt was blaming Su Jinyin, so he hurriedly replied: "Stop me outside the door, it's just that the person is good at making claims." Please also ask my aunt not to blame my cousin. ”
After finishing speaking, Zheng Duozhi looked behind Zheng with affectionate eyebrows.
Su Jinyin stood behind Zheng and avoided it completely.
Look, her second cousin is not a clean person either. In her previous life, she was able to be calculated out of the house by her sister-in-law, and she couldn't do without the help of this second cousin.
Zheng Duozhi's words and deeds all show that he is special to Su Jinyin, but because of Su Jinyin's previous words, Zheng did not think about his children's private affairs for the time being. Instead, she decided that this was Zheng Duozhi's performance of calculating her son.
Zheng Shi set an example of the chickens and monkeys: "That is the case, immediately drag the double star and the moon to the rod and beat ten sticks." ”
Zheng Duozhi remembered the maid who reported to him, and remembered how favored the other party was in front of his cousin Su Jinyin on weekdays, so he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Auntie, don't be annoyed, although the subordinates are a little bolder, it is all for the sake of cousin Yin." Don't hide it from my aunt, if it weren't for the double stars this time, I wouldn't know that my aunt was angry. ”
"These twin stars are really sensible. Zheng sneered, turned to look at Su Jinyin in the room, and asked, "So, you also listened to this maid?"
Su Jinyin is familiar with the signs before Zheng's temper gets out of control. She knew that Zheng was already in a state of burning at one point. At this time, of course, she has to add fuel to the fire.
Su Jinyin lowered his eyebrows and replied, "Yes." Mother, for the sake of the two stars who have been with me for many years and have always been loyal......"
Hearing that Su Jinyin was interceding for Shuangxing, Zheng Duozhi hurriedly agreed: "That's right, my aunt also asked for exemption from Shuangxing's punishment." The first few times he held the moon to obstruct it, Shuangxing also helped his nephew. ”
As he spoke, Zheng Duozhi handed Su Jinyin another look that he thought was full of intimate comfort.
It's just that this look is still blocked by the Zheng family.
Su Jinyin chuckled lightly in his heart, this second cousin who is a hero who saves the beauty is afraid that the hero will harm the beauty.
She took a step back and made a bent knee.
Zheng Duozhi, who had been staring at Su Jinyin between the gaps in Zheng's clothes, immediately paid attention, and he stepped forward to intercede for Shuangxing: "Auntie, this loyal maid should not be punished, but should be rewarded." In order to notify me in time today, Shuangxing ran so much that I lost one of my shoes. ”
"Are all the shoes off?" Zheng glanced at Zheng Duozhi with a smile, and the next moment, she was completely out of control.
Turning back to Su Jinyin's room, he directly threw all the tea cups on the table, and Zheng shouted: "Don't drag such a 'loyal' slave out for me!
"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Zheng Duozhi This is also the first time he has come to Beijing since he was a child, and it is the first time he has seen such a crazy Zheng family. Zheng Duozhi, who was dumbfounded, said in a panic, "Auntie, do you also think that your nephew shouldn't even come to see your cousin?"
You cousin came to see what!
Zheng looked at Zheng Duozhi with resentful eyes.
Being stared at by this poisonous snake-like gaze, Zheng Duozhi's back was cold, and his cousin couldn't take care of it, he took advantage of the fact that when Shuangxing was dragged in, he quickly ran away without a trace by smearing oil on the soles of his feet.
Su Jinyin looked at Zheng Duozhi's back, and his heart was happy. The punishment she gave Zheng Duozhi now was far less than the bad luck that Zheng Duozhi brought her in her previous life. But isn't seeing each of your enemies clearly the first step to good revenge?
Shuangxing originally thought that the most outstanding cry he had today was to run away from his shoes and look beautiful in front of the young master.
She never thought that she would suddenly be put on the bench, and after three strokes of the board, she was forced to sob.
The real pain in her body made Shuangxing put aside the idea of revenge on her master, and she cried out bitterly, "Miss, save the slave." For the sake of you, the slave and maid specially went to invite the young master ......to come over."
I have to say that the wicked really have their own harvest. Su Jinyin originally thought that Shuangxing might have to take dozens of boards more, but this sentence "Young Master Cousin" successfully angered the Zheng family and sent Shuangxing to a dead end.
Zheng thought that the back house he was in charge of had such a maid who was single-minded and ate inside and out, and he was so angry that the five Buddhas ascended to heaven. She raised her hand and slapped the slave maid next to her, and scolded: "Let her scream like this, you don't want to live one by one!"
This was the first-class maid beside the Zheng family. The first-class maid next to the housemother is so faceless on weekdays. Now that she has been punished in public, she is ashamed and annoyed, and she snatches the stick and hits it directly on the back of the head of Shuangxing.
Blood splattered on the walls, and the entire courtyard was instantly cleaned.
The twin stars opened their eyes wide, leaving a full of puzzlement. She couldn't have imagined that she went to the second lady for advice this time, and it was her own life that she paid.
After Su Jinyin watched Shuangxing swallow his last breath, he poured the tea cup on the table into the cup and soaked his handkerchief.
There are some wonderful people around her mother.
Su Jinyin handed the wet handkerchief to the maid who had just been slapped to wipe her face, and saluted Zheng again: "Mother, it's my daughter who has tired you." ”
"The last time I listened to the scriptures in Qingquan Nunnery, my daughter heard the words of the abbot, and chanted in front of the Buddha of flesh and bones, and she could pray for the blessings of her relatives. The daughter wants to leave today and chant for her mother for a year. Su Jinyin looked up at Zheng.
In her previous life, she refused Zheng's proposal to enter the nunnery for a year, and then embarked on the road of being calculated by her sister to leave the house, chased and killed, and was forced into exile, falling in love with Qin Ziyan and not dying well.
Feng Shui takes turns, Sophser, this time, it's time for you to come to the nunnery to change me.
