CHAPTER 40

In other words, in her previous life, Shan Niang was not so sharp-tongued, and before she got married, she was a well-known gentle and virtuous lady. The reason why she became so bitter and short-tempered later was after she found out that she couldn't close the distance between her and Yuan Changqing no matter what. The more cold Yuan Changqing was to her, the more irritable she was here; The more irritable she was, the farther she pushed Yuan Changqing away...... After a vicious circle, even her children can't stand her strong domineering, let alone Yuan Changqing. Then, before she came back to her senses, she changed from a virtuous lady thirteen niang praised by everyone to a Yuan Hou who was round and delicate to outsiders, but extremely sharp and mean to her family......

Shan Niang stroked her forehead and peeked secretly at the fifth master and the fifth wife from under her wrist.

Mrs. Fifth looked at her for a while, blinking, and couldn't tell for a moment whether the expression on her face was shocked or whatever.

The fifth master glared at Shanniang for a while, and after a while, he coughed lightly, turned back to the fifth wife, and said:

"Shan'er is right, how to punish it, we ...... My wife and I need to have a good discussion. ”

As soon as he spoke, as soon as he turned around, he went over and grabbed Mrs. Five's wrist for the first time, and with a semi-forced nature, pulled Mrs. Five into the side flower hall on the side.

The fifth wife looked at the fifth master in a daze, as if she hadn't come back to her senses for a while, and was dragged away by the fifth master.

Although there was no overreaction from the fifth wife, the fifth wife's maid Minglan seemed to be frightened, and suddenly turned around, regardless of the dignity and humility, reached out and grabbed Shanniang's arm, "Girl, please save our wife......"

Shanniang was suddenly startled by her pale face and reddened eyes, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Mrs. Five.

I saw that Mrs. Fifth was hanging her head from beginning to end, so that people could not see her eyebrows clearly, and could only see a green white fingertip hidden under the sleeve - suddenly, Shanniang remembered the statue of Guanyin in the master's study again.

And look at the pace of the fifth wife. Although she seemed to be being held by the fifth master, every step she took was very steady, which inexplicably made Shanniang feel that Mrs. was afraid that Minglan was not panicked at this time.

"Don't worry."

Although she said the word "rest assured" in her mouth, she was not so relieved in the end, so she patted Minglan comfortingly, broke free from her, and chased after the fifth master and the fifth wife.

*·*·*

In fact, to put it mildly, Shanniang and the fifth master all misunderstood the fifth wife. Although the fifth lady is a little weaker and does not like to socialize with people, she is not as timid and afraid of seeing people as they think—otherwise Shanniang, who has just returned, would not be so easy to approach her.

Mrs. Five's temperament, to put it bluntly, is just more sensitive and inferior, and she is very bad at dealing with strong characters and conflicting scenes. The fifth master is strong, not to mention, but also short-tempered, and likes to slap a table when he is in a hurry. As soon as he slapped the table here, Mrs. Fifth instinctively thought that she must have done something wrong, so she subconsciously retreated in fear. And the more she retreated here, the more the fifth master felt that she had failed, and her temper became more and more impatient; The more impatient he was, the more Mrs. Fifth flinched......

Just like Yuan Changqing and Shanniang in their previous lives, over time, a vicious circle has formed between the couple. So much so that as long as the old man slapped the table, the wife could directly shake off the sleeves of the water ripples......

In the side flower hall, the old man has not slapped the table at this time, so the fifth wife can still hold on.

And obviously the fifth master is really not Yuan Changqing's kind of rotten wood that cannot be carved, Shanniang here only reminded him a little to pay attention to the tone of his voice, and now when the fifth master talks to the fifth wife again, he only hates to learn the breath singing method of the later generations, for fear that the movement of the angry child will be too big, and he will accidentally scare the fifth wife again.

He spoke softly and slowly, but the fifth wife was shocked for a while, and she didn't understand the origin of the sudden change of the fifth master.

However, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, the wife is timid, and the fifth master did not misunderstand, so although he said that he wanted to "discuss it with his wife", he did not really want to force his wife to speak. What's more, there is a Shanniang next to her who is used to being "all human" in her previous life, who is a buffer between the old man and the wife, and the hall can be regarded as harmonious for a while.

Although the fifth master didn't want to end this harmonious "family meeting" so quickly, as the saying goes, there is no feast in the world, not to mention that the topic of the meeting was only so little. No matter how reluctant it is, the "meeting" will eventually come to an end.

So, the result of the old lady's "deliberation" was:

Hou Ruiguan was confined for three months, picked up and delivered by car every day, and went home after school, not allowed to go out!

Hou Jue writes an extra fifty big characters every day, and he is not allowed to sleep until he finishes writing!

Overseer: Shanniang.

"......" has long said that she will not be nosy, but Shanniang, who is still nosy, said accidentally: She knew it would be like this!

Seeing that the "discussion" was over, the fifth wife, who had been thinking about the origin of the master's changes, immediately stood up, looking like she couldn't pull out her feet and run for her life.

The fifth master immediately instinctively shouted: "Stop." ”

It's just that he dragged people with words, but he couldn't think of what to say for a while.

As a well-eyed concubine, when she saw her grandmother standing up and leaving, Shanniang went over and held her wife's arm.

Seeing that his daughter, who was quite sensible before, didn't understand his mind at this time, the fifth master suddenly became angry. So angry, he suddenly remembered a big event, slammed the table, glared at Shanniang and said, "You dare to skip school for me?!" ”

- yes, slap the table again!

So, Shanniang, who was scolded by the master, was not frightened, and the fifth wife was frightened again.

Seeing that the fifth wife shrunk her neck again, the fifth master hated to slap him in the face. He forced himself to soften his voice, and seemed to explain softly to Shanniang, but in fact, he explained softly to Mrs. Five: "Don't blame me for being angry, you three brothers and sisters, you are the only one who doesn't need anyone to worry about, but you are also learning from your brother to skip school, how can my wife and I not be angry?!" ”

Mrs.: "......" - it's really unreasonable, the person who slapped the table and got angry was obviously you, what are you dragging me on?!

Shanniang looked at Mrs., and then at the master, and suddenly blinked. The reason why she avoided going to the academy was that she still had some knots in her heart for Yuan Changqing, and now that everyone has met her face to face, those escapes naturally become meaningless. It's just that in her previous life, she spent too much time studying, and she had the opportunity to start over in this life, but without Yuan Changqing, she still didn't want to go to school. And the old man's tone is obviously disagree......

Shanniang's clever ghost rolled her eyes, learned from Lin Ruzhi, turned around and hugged his wife's arm, painted green paint and pretended to be tender, and shouted: "Mrs. ......"

This woman, no matter how weak she is, as long as there is someone next to her who is weaker and more in need of protection than herself, even if she is originally a silk flower, she can temporarily straighten her spine. What's more, the fifth wife has never had this feeling of being relied on, and now she was suddenly hugged by Shanniang as a little daughter, and the hidden motherhood in Mrs. couldn't help but pop up, although she still didn't dare to confront the fifth master openly, in the end she still stole a glance at the fifth master with dissatisfaction.

The fifth master stared at the fifth wife every minute, how could he not see this glance, and suddenly the fifth lady's bones became weak.

The fifth lady didn't expect it again, she secretly looked into the eyes of the fifth master, and asked the fifth master to catch it, and the fifth master not only didn't look angry, but also looked like his bones were three points lighter, and the fifth wife couldn't help but be stunned again - what's wrong with the master today?! Evil?!

And no matter whether these five masters are evil or beauties, in short, the fifth wife really can't understand what is wrong with the fifth master, so she first threw away the person, turned sideways and asked Shanniang, "You are a good boy, you shouldn't go to school for no reason, if there is any reason, just tell the master, I think the master will not force you." ”

So, the fifth master immediately decided in his heart, regardless of whether Shanniang's reasons were legitimate or not, just for the fifth wife's words, he allowed Shanniang to skip school.

Shanniang was silent for a long time, and she couldn't make up a reasonable excuse for her request to suspend her studies.

In this way, the fifth master actually nodded and said, "Well, since you don't want to go, don't go." ”

Mrs. 5: "......"

She couldn't help but glance at the fifth master again.

The fifth old man who received the eye wind was stunned, and immediately understood the disapproval in his wife's eyes, and then changed his words and said: "But you are young, what are you doing at home if you don't go to school?!" ”

Shanniang immediately hugged Mrs. Five's arm and painted green paint again: "I can help Mrs. take care of the house, so I don't have to work on Mrs." ”

The fifth master was suddenly silent. Because he thinks it's a good idea.

I only heard that Mrs. Fifth opened her mouth rarely, and said softly: "Family affairs, where the trouble gets you, you should learn your best." As she spoke, she sighed silently - twenty or thirty years ago, Mrs. Fifth was looking forward to going to a girls' school, but it was a pity that her family was unwilling to pay for her tuition.

And before the fifth master married the fifth wife, he already knew that she was mistreated by her stepmother when she was a child, and now looking at the fifth wife's eyes with regret, he doesn't know the details of the year. Suddenly, there was a lot of distress in the eyes of the fifth wife, and how much condemnation was in the eyes of Shanniang when he looked back.

So, the fifth master slapped the table very unprincipledly, and shouted at Shanniang: "You will go to school for me tomorrow!" ”

- Yes, the fifth wife, who finally had the courage to open her mouth once, was finally scared out of a ripple of water in her sleeves......

*·*·*

Before dinner, the old man suddenly sent a lot of toys, fabrics, jewelry, and so on to Chunshen Garden, which made Shanniang wonder for a while. Uncle Gui squinted the mouse eyes and said more, "Not only the girl has it, but the wife also has it." ”

Well, Shanniang said that she should accept it, but she can't make a cameo appearance as a matchmaker for nothing, right?! Although in fact, she is not optimistic about the fifth master and the fifth wife at all.

Then, in the evening, soaking in the cypress bathtub, she heard another news, Aunt Ma was reprimanded by the master, and was moved to a side courtyard and locked up......

As an underage girl in the boudoir, there are actually some things that Shanniang shouldn't know. But this family is just a little bit bigger, not to mention that there is not only a tongue-chewing Wufu by her side, but also a "Houfu know-it-all" Sanhe, and since then, she has been used to all kinds of "vices" brought about by the previous life of being the housewife, so that there are some things that she didn't deliberately inquire, and she still knows so naturally.

For example, after the old man came back, he never entered Aunt Ma's yard. Of course, I never went into my wife's yard.

For another example, although the master has never been to see Aunt Ma, Aunt Ma took the initiative to visit the master twice in three days, and sent some strange soup and water to the master...... Well, that, those weird, strange soups and water, it seems that they didn't work in the end......

Of course, this should not have been known to Shanniang, but she still knew about it accidentally. And she also heard that the people in Tian's mother's family in the kitchen laughed at Aunt Ma who failed to succeed......

In other words, the more she learned about the situation in the fifth room, the more Shanniang felt that those rumors ...... How so? It cannot be said that the rumors are all wrong, but there are very subtle differences in some details...... For example, everyone said that the old lady of the fifth room didn't ask about things, but after she took over the family, she found out that those key positions were actually firmly in the hands of the master, at least they were controlled by the people trusted by the master, just like this indefinable Uncle Gui.

As for Aunt Ma's so-called "favorite concubine", at least after Shan Niang's observation, she didn't think that the fifth master "spoiled" this Aunt Ma.

This time, the reason why Aunt Ma was reprimanded by the master was that she "did it" by herself. That's why later generations said that if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like comrades-although this sentence is very aggrieved pigs. In short, I don't know why this Aunt Ma is so stupid that she will cry in front of the master, saying that the reason why the second master was thrown into the river was all instigated by the eldest girl, and it was the eldest girl who said that the second master had no brotherly love for the uncle, and the second master would ...... Boom, boom......

This stupid Aunt Ma actually told the master about Shanniang's public scolding of the little fat dun that day. But the old man is not stupid, he asked three or two times, and asked Aunt Ma to explain the fact that Hou Jue broke into Shanniang's courtyard and was punished by Shanniang for kneeling.

The old man's face was very unsightly at that time, and he scolded Aunt Ma and said: "My Dao Shan'er didn't learn badly in the West Garden, and the two sons who were raised in front of me were crooked, and they were taught bad by you ignorant women!" "-Yes, the fifth master actually pushed his own responsibilities one by one.

Shanniang, who was soaking in the bathtub, couldn't help but sneer. At least in this regard, Yuan Changqing is better than her father, he never shirks responsibility, that is, he does not often enter the inner house, but he is still very concerned about the discipline of his children, so that he often argues with her for the sake of his children.

At that time, why did she believe so much that she was right?! It's no wonder that her children are not close to her, but to Yuan Changqing......

Huh! Shanniang slapped the water hard. is already destined to be a person who has nothing to do with him, what do you want him to do!
