CHAPTER XXXIII

Shanniang stepped forward and curtsied to Mr., raised her head and said, "Mr. punishment is very fair, but there are two more things, I hope Mr. will administer justice again." The first thing is that 'the morality of those who are guarded by a gentleman and the faithfulness of those who do it', although my eldest brother acted impulsively and should not have beaten people in the academy, but in the end, it was to maintain faithfulness and morality, and he did not lose face to my parents. Just when I came over, I heard that several elders here were so indisputable about right and wrong, accusing my parents of not being right, and saying what 'teaching but not raising'. The law of my Great Zhou clearly stipulates that a person who insults his parents without reason is a crime that is reduced by beating and killing the other party by the hands of his children. Now my brother and I are here listening to people insulting my parents, if we can't get justice for our parents, it will be difficult to be a son! I hope that Mr. will do justice for my brother and sister! ”

The gentleman couldn't help but have a headache. This thirteen mothers have to be unforgiving!

Who knew that his fingers had not yet reached the throbbing forehead, Shan Niang got up after the salute, and said, "The nature of this second thing is even worse. Mr. naturally knows that there is another sentence after the sentence just now: the name of the gentleman who cherishes it. But now my brother is being stigmatized with such an unspeakable stigma! And the whole thing happened to Mr. witnessed with his own eyes, and the rights and wrongs of it came to my brother and sister, and Mr. was like a mirror in his heart. The student has nothing else to ask for, but to hope that Mr. can administer justice for my brother and return my brother's innocence! It also saves this matter from being used by people with intentions in the future, and spreading something that will tarnish my brother's name. My brother is the kind of 'gentleman who does not speak evil' - otherwise there would not be anything wronged today - if I am splashed with such dirty water again in the future, will it be better for my brother to defend or not to justify? Therefore, I beg Sir to make the decision for my brother and correct my brother's name! ”

As she spoke, the Shan Niang bowed down again.

- Yes, this Hou Sanniang is really not a female leader who has been in vain for so many years, not to mention the scriptures, but also forcibly "carried forward" Hou Rui's secondary and second diseases into a "gentleman's nature"......

The gentleman was speechless for a while. Not to mention that these thirteen mothers are reversing black and white there, only this so-called "name"...... Even if there is really anything bad, no matter how you look at it, it will only be the fat woman who suffers......

Well, that's the real unforgiving!

Looking at Shanniang, who was squatting there and refused to get up, Mr. rubbed his forehead for a while. He can control the students, but he can't control the students' parents......

The gentleman was in a dilemma, when he suddenly heard another voice whisper slowly, "That's what our girl said." Although our uncle is a man, he can't be discredited casually. Don't say anything else, if someone says that our uncle doesn't take a fancy to it...... Uh, in short, it's better to ask Mr. to correct our uncle's name. ”

- Well, that's vicious enough.

Shanniang turned around, but she couldn't help blinking when she looked at the person who spoke. The person who spoke was actually Uncle Gui who was wise enough to protect his life.

Seeing her coming, Uncle Gui quietly raised his eyebrows at her.

This small action immediately made Shanniang frown. She was a human being in two lives, and suddenly found that she couldn't understand what kind of character this Uncle Gui was.

And Uncle Gui, who was wise enough to protect his life, had now turned into the most loyal slave, standing there with a straight face, and said indignantly: "Also, as our girl said, you also owe our old lady an apology. Although the Hou family has a big business and is unwilling to bully others, they can't be accused and insulted by others. ”

Therefore, an adult is an adult, even if it is just a subordinate. When Shanniang was so sharp-tongued, the eyes of the three parents still showed some indescribable contempt in her eyes, and as soon as Uncle Gui added such a note, one by one, the family members suddenly looked solemn, but they saw that Shanniang vomited blood silently.

Fortunately, the other two families are also considered to understand people, listening to Shanniang's meaning, they know that they are not mainly aimed at themselves, plus the husband is beating a side drum on the side, the two parents only hesitated slightly, and they also led the children over to apologize to Shanniang's brothers and sisters, as well as the five old men and his wife who "couldn't come because of their troubled affairs". It was the third fat woman who still wanted to make trouble, and her man couldn't suppress it, but the son was still a student in the school, and he had to stop when he was pressured by his husband, and came over to apologize reluctantly, and then the family covered their faces with their sleeves and left in disgrace.

Finally, the world has returned to clarity. Mr. sat behind the bookcase and sighed, raised his eyes to look at Steward Gui and Hou Rui, and then at Shanniang who lowered his eyebrows and pretended to be obedient, he couldn't help but shake his head for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that the thirteen girls were so sharp." ”

Shanniang was on her knees again, and said with a "ashamed" face: "Sir, forgive me, if it weren't for my parents and brother being abused for no reason, Shanniang wouldn't be so angry." It is contrary to the teachings of the academy and lacks the cultivation and forbearance that the daughter's family should have. ”

The old gentleman who was tossed was able to hear the hidden wit in Thirteen Niang's words, and he was already haggard at this time, so he only waved his hand weakly, and said: "It seems that your illness is almost better, and you want to come back to class soon." ”

Shanniang's eyes blinked, shook her head and said with a "wry smile": "Where, I'm afraid that my illness is even worse, otherwise how can I be so unable to suppress my anger." I still haven't been able to recuperate, so I may have to take more leave. ”

- Well, everyone knows that the virtuous and virtuous thirteen girls will become so ...... Grumpy, it's because she's sick.

Gotta be cured!

*・*・*

The group withdrew from Mr., Hou Rui walked in the lead, Shanniang and Wufu who accompanied him, followed by Hou Rui's two little servants, Nanshan and Beihai, and Uncle Gui walked leisurely in the back with his hands in his hands.

Uncle Gui was looking up at the two little masters in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking, when he was suddenly bumped into from behind.

Before he could react, the man had already squeezed away the maids, came to his girl and said with a smile: "I said, let's leave before I thank you, you're too boring!" ”

Zhou Chong walked sideways to block Shanniang's way.

Shanniang was stunned, and looked at Zhou Chong and couldn't help blinking.

Hou Rui, who was walking in front, heard the voice, hurriedly turned around, and pulled Shanniang over to protect him. Many young people still remembered that Zhou Chong was the one who rescued him from the siege, but he did not speak ill of him, but only glared at Zhou Chong with vigilance.

Shanniang blinked again, then pulled Hou Rui, and both saluted Zhou Chonghe and Lin Ruxuan, who had just rushed over, raised her head and smiled: "It is thanks to the two of you who speak up righteously that my brother has not suffered a grievance." Thank you very much. ”

Zhou Chong waved his hand and smiled: "You're polite, in fact, it's not our ......."

He paused, and saw that Shanniang's small but extraordinarily bright eyes were looking at him with inquiry, so he suddenly changed his tone, tilted his head and smiled: "You brothers and sisters really look alike." And said: "Actually, I will help your brother today, and I am looking for you for something......"

Before he finished speaking, Hou Rui vigilantly stuffed Shanniang behind him a little more, and he actually looked like he was being used as a disciple to guard against him.

Zhou Chong couldn't help but be stunned - you know, when he was in the capital, I don't know how many young ladies of the family wished he would come up and joke with them! What's more, he is somewhat kind to this Hou Qi here, right?!

He looked at Hou Rui with implicit dissatisfaction, and then looked up at Shanniang, who was covered behind him.

I saw that although the little girl was blocked by her brother, she poked her head to look at him, and her slender eyes seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, and her lips were slightly curled like smiling, which suddenly made his heart hot, and he almost couldn't help but want to step forward and laugh at it......

Hou Rui was staring at him, telling Zhou Chong to have a thief's heart and not make a mistake, so he had to rub his nose and say solemnly to Shanniang behind Hou Rui: "Actually, I just want to ask the girl about the embroidery." It wasn't a 'jade embroidery', and it looked extraordinary, so I wanted to buy one back as a birthday gift for my family. But after inquiring about these days, no one knows about this thing. If the girl knows, please tell sù one or two, I am grateful here. As he spoke, he bowed to Shanniang to the end.

Before Shanniang could answer here, her brother Hou Rui first looked at her with a kind of "you don't obey women's morals" eyes.

Shan Niang rolled her eyes silently, broke free from his hand, and introduced Zhou Chongdao to Hou Rui: "This is the senior brother of the Lin girl who often comes to our house. ”

"Contemptible surname Zhou." Zhou Chong hurriedly introduced himself.

Hou Rui actually wanted to ask, his sister was just a good friend of that Lin girl, how did she know such a "senior brother" who didn't know the reason, but his sister didn't give him a chance to be a qualified brother, so she came out from behind him by herself, and smiled politely at the surnamed Zhou:

"I can't answer Childe about this matter for a while, wait for me to go back and ask, and then send someone to inform Childe, okay?" -- In the end, the person who embroidered the painting was Mrs. Five, and Mrs. Fifth did not necessarily want anyone to know that she was good at embroidery.

"Okay, okay," Zhou Chong nodded repeatedly, and said, "Before the fifth day of the third lunar month, I lived in Lin Shanchang's house, and you can send me a letter there at any time." However, after the fifth year of junior high school, I was afraid that I would have to go back to Beijing with my teacher. ”

That Zhou Chong looked at the corners of Shanniang's slightly curled lips and only felt an itch in his heart, so he couldn't help but find a topic, talked to the Hou brothers and sisters, and several people went to the gate of the academy together.

Although Zhou Chong relieved himself, the way he looked at Shanniang made Hou Rui feel unhappy, so he deliberately stopped him and Lin Ruxuan behind him, and let Shanniang's master and servant walk in the forefront.

At this time, a young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly came over from the opposite side. Because there had been a light rain earlier in the day, the road was a little slippery, so the boy took the initiative to retreat to the dirt on the side of the road and gave way to the green brick paved path.

When Zhou Chong, who was deliberately blocked by Hou Rui, looked up at Shanniang, he happened to see the little guy, and hurriedly shouted: "Yanfeng, why are you here?" ”

At the same time, Shanniang happened to walk by the little guy's side, and she didn't want to slip under her feet, so she almost fell, so startled that the little guy who was standing with her hands down instinctively stretched out his hand to her.

also thanks to Wufu's quick reaction, he helped Shanniang in time, "Girl be careful." He turned his head to glare at the reckless little guy.

The little girl was embarrassed by her for a while, raised her hand and touched her neck, but she didn't stretch out her hand at all, turned around and saluted Zhou Chong, who was asking just now, and shouted: "Fifth master, third master." ”

It was only then that Shanniang seemed to have just recovered from her fright, suddenly glanced at the little girl's face, and turned her head to look around.

"Girl?" Wufu shouted in confusion.

Shanniang looked around again, and then suddenly turned her head to look at Zhou Chong.

That strange look made Zhou Chong inexplicable for a while. He thought about it, and when she felt embarrassed because she had almost slipped before, he smiled and was just about to step forward to comfort her, but he didn't want Na Shan Niang to turn around suddenly, and actually pulled her maid and ran away quickly.

No matter why Shanniang fled in a hurry, Hou Rui was very satisfied when he saw it, so he turned around and hugged his fists at Zhou Lin and the others, said "don't pass", and turned around to chase after them.

Behind them, Uncle Gui looked at the two sons who were confused, and then looked up at the two masters who had already walked away, tilted his head in confusion, and quickly followed.
