057 Arrogant aunt
Everyone present silently watched Aunt Rou jumping up and down like this, and laughed in their hearts. But no one mentioned her, just waiting for Rong Zhao to come, so that she could watch a good show.
"I'm going to ask for this batch of cloth. After picking thirteen tricks, Aunt Rou finally chose a makeup satin brocade, dyed with red octagonal patterns, bright colors and gorgeous colors.
Because of the high price, there are only a few horses sent over, and they are generally selected by a few ladies and young ladies. She took it, which surprised the people present. Isn't this Aunt Rou too pampered and arrogant, and she doesn't even have any rules.
"You dare to use red as a concubine?" Sure enough, someone blocked her hand and buckled the cloth, it was Rong Xi.
Aunt Rou's eyebrows fluttered suddenly, and her face changed slightly, but she didn't back down, her hands clutched the fabric. She is much taller than Rong Xi, and her condescending posture is quite arrogant, "Miss Jiu's words are not right, although I am a concubine, I can't be popular." But I am a descendant of the Rong family in my belly, who can care if he wears red and green. She had an arrogant attitude, and the cat in her arms also had its owner and its cat, and she barked at Rong Xi with her mouth open.
Rong Xi also grew up with a thousand pets, and her mother was in charge of the Hou Mansion, and no one had spoken to her like this since she was a child, and she was immediately angry. She stalked her neck, without losing her momentum at all, and her sarcastic words were like a poisonous snake burrowing into Aunt Rou's ears, "The descendants of the Rong family? The descendants of the Rong family are also divided into concubines, don't say whether you are a man or a woman in your belly for the time being, even if it is a boy, it is just a concubine, does he dare to rob me?"
Seeing Aunt Rou's face swelled into pig liver, Rong Xi felt a little relieved, but she still mocked her mercilessly, "You know that you are a concubine, so you should keep your duty as a concubine." Who is not more valuable than you in this big house, you will choose first when you come, and there are no rules. β
If Rong Zhao said these scathing words, it would not be strange for others to say it, but if it was Rong Xi, it would inevitably surprise people a little. Rong Xi has always given people the impression of being lively and naΓ―ve, no matter who is in the house, he is very kind, and it seems that he really can't get used to Aunt Rou when he can say this today. But I felt that she said this to scare Aunt Rou, which was very relieved, and she couldn't help but snicker.
Where would Aunt Rou have thought that today would be insulted by a child, when she used to be a singer, her mother held her in the palm of her hand, and she was also favored by Rong Sanye, no one dared to bully her when she was in Yizhou, and even her wife had to give her three points. Now that she has followed Rong Sanye back to the Hou Mansion, the snobbish minions in the mansion look down on her, and now a thirteen-year-old child is full of contempt for her, and the concubine who opens her mouth and closes her mouth screams, how can she bear her temper?
"Rules?" Aunt Rou put the cat on the ground, didn't care about it running around, and then snatched the fabric back from Rong Xi's hand, she was so strong that she almost threw Rong Xi out, "Yes, I have a lowly status and don't know any rules, but Miss Nine, you are Miss Yan, don't you even know how to respect your elders? Anyway, I am also your third uncle's aunt, your elder, do you think it is safe for you to talk to me like this?"
She spoke like a cannon, Rong Xi was about to open her mouth to refute, she immediately raised her voice, overshadowing her voice, "If you feel safe, I have nothing to say, but then don't tell me any more rules, otherwise I will think that the rules in a high-ranking family like you are all set for people of humble status like you, and people of noble status like you don't have to follow any rules." β
As soon as Rong Xi wanted to speak, she grabbed the words. Rong Xi is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, how can this mouth be as good as the person who has been in the Qinglou for more than ten years, so he had to move his lips and listen to her angrily: "I used to hear that the people of the aristocratic family attach the most importance to etiquette, and the young ladies in it are all very well educated, and I really believe it." Today I learned that the storytellers are all hearsay, and what a noble lady is nothing more than that. β
Rong Xi was embarrassed, but in the face of Aunt Rou's words, she couldn't resist it. One is a woman who has been in the Qinglou all the year round, and the other is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, thinking about it, she also knows that if you talk about the battle of words, Rong Xi will obviously lose the upper hand.
Her eyes were red layer after layer, and she was holding her anger in her heart, and because Aunt Rou was in a hurry to intercept her before she was about to speak, she couldn't say a word, she was really hard to argue, her face was flushed, and she was about to cry.
"Bold, do you dare to talk to Miss Nine like this as an aunt? I don't look at my identity, you also have the right to interject when the master speaks!" At this moment, a voice came from the door, and everyone looked at it, only to see that Rong Zhao had come in at some point.
The second lady Lin had been drinking tea and watching the play just now, and when she saw Rong Zhao coming in, she hurriedly said: "Yes, an aunt, at best, she is half a master, but in fact, she is a high-level minion, and she dares to shout with Miss Yan-" She glanced at the third lady opposite, "Third brother and sister, such an unruly minion, you should also discipline it, otherwise it will really be the opposite." β
As soon as she said this, the aunts in the room instantly looked embarrassed and lowered their heads, and the faces of the young ladies who came out of the house were not much better.
The third lady didn't want to get involved, to put it bluntly, she couldn't afford to offend anyone. Even, she is a little selfish, so she hopes that Aunt Rou will not know the depths so much.
She glanced at Lin sneeringly, then glanced at Aunt Rou, and said, "Aunt Rou, don't be rude to Miss Nine." "It's not painful to say it, it's the same as not saying it.
Where did Aunt Rou put her in her eyes, she only looked at Rong Zhao, her eyes shot straight out like a sharp blade, "What is my identity? I am married to your third uncle Ming Media, who is a slave in the mansion when I am in Yizhou, who doesn't call Mrs. Rou respectfully when he sees me?"
She raised her chin and looked arrogant, "The third master can say, if I give birth to a son for him, it will be a flat wife, and then it will be your third aunt, why can't I talk to the younger generation like this?"
The third lady's face turned pale suddenly, and she got up from her chair, took a few steps closer to her, and raised her voice, as if she had misheard it just now, "What did you say?"
Aunt Rou smiled proudly, looked at her with disdain, and stroked her stomach complacently, "Is my sister old? I can't even hear my voice so clearly." Then I'll say it again, my lord said, as long as I can give birth to a son for him, I can be on an equal footing with my sister. β
As soon as the words fell, the third lady staggered back a few steps, her steps were messy and weak, and she almost collapsed, thanks to the maid beside her, she hurriedly helped her.
