After the feast of the winter solstice, it is customary for everyone to gather together in the front hall for entertainment.

Xue Xiangzheng was boiling winter tea with several colleagues, talking and laughing. Xue Rumei came closer, leaned into Xue Xiang's ear and said, "Father, mother has prepared a three-foot white silk." ”

"What!" Xue Xiang was shocked and anxious, stood up at once, and slapped his palm on the table. This sound startled everyone in the hall to stop what they were doing and looked at the right minister in disbelief.

What's the matter! How can you not think about it at the festive season!

Xue Xiang didn't have time to explain to his colleagues, so he hurriedly followed Xue Rumei to go downstairs, and before he reached the staircase, he had already seen his wife come upstairs in plain clothes.

The Qin clan removed the usual golden hairpin and emerald hair ornament on his head, and held a plain jade plate in his hand, and in the jade plate was a neatly folded dress.

Everyone looked away, and next to the gorgeous red dress, there was a three-foot white silk!

Xue Xiang hurriedly went to take the jade plate in Qin's hand, pulled her sleeve, and touched it, it turned out that only the people in the family could wear coarse linen clothes.

"What are you doing here? Go back and change into winter clothes, you'll get cold. ”

Qin shook her head, she walked to the middle of the main hall and solemnly rested the jade plate on the high wooden platform in front of the hall.

"All the ladies are here, and I would like to ask the ladies to be witnesses."

The originally quiet front hall began to become noisy in Qin's words, and the noble ladies gathered together in twos and threes to talk, and they didn't know what kind of fame was going to be in the right prime minister's mansion.

The Qin family secretly told himself that if he wanted to get the approval of those noble ladies' wives, he couldn't go against them, they would always clearly distinguish between his wives and his flat wives, and if he wanted to get the title of the wife of the prime minister's house, he must first get their heartfelt approval.

Even if she has to suffer some face losses now, she has to endure it.

"What the ladies have taught at the banquet today is that I am not sensible and have overstepped the rules. Since the first day I entered the Prime Minister's house, Sister Duan was still at the gate of the countryside at that time, and she was not in the Prime Minister's Mansion as the main mother, so she took care of the family's big and small affairs. dared to cross the identity of Sister Duan, Li Dai Taozhuang, it was my mistake! “

Qin turned around, held the dress above his head, bent down, and presented the dress to Xue Xiang.

"Today, I also want to ask all the ladies to be a witness in the back house, from today on, I will hand over the dress of the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion to Xiang Ye, and Xiang Ye will personally put it on for Sister Duan, so that Sister Duan can be a famous lady in the main room witnessed by everyone."

The Qin family pretended to shed tears of remorse, and the simple linen clothes lined with tears on the haggard face, this posture of being small and low, made the ladies feel moved.

It is extremely difficult to be a housewife in the family, where can a country woman accept to be the wife of a high-ranking family like them from an early age?

The Qin family has been married to the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten years, and has worked for the whole family for so many years, even if it is the position of the housewife, there are both merit and hard work.

Seeing that the wives present already regretted their bad words at the banquet, the Qin clan simply took a step back.

She quietly glanced at Xue Rumei, it was time for her to come forward.

Xue Rumei, who received the news, immediately changed her sad face and screamed quietly, just enough for the nearby ladies to hear, "Mother, your face!" She covered her mouth, tears immediately falling from her eyes.

The ladies in the vicinity heard and whispered, and soon all the ladies were discussing the reddish but forgotten slap print.

The Qin clan was too shocked to present the dress, and Xue Xiang noticed the red and swollen slap marks on her face, which were obviously covered with fat powder.

"Madame, you are ......"

Qin immediately turned his face away, "I'm sorry, I was negligent." ”

This slap instantly attracted everyone's attention, who dared to slap the second lady's face in the Prime Minister's Mansion so boldly! It's against him!

Xue Xiang's face turned pale, "Who hit it!" I have to find out what is not the law of the king of Gangchang! ”

"Don't ask. It's all my fault, it's my fault first, I didn't discipline my eyebrows. Qin shook his head, tears of remorse sliding down his tired eyes.

After all, a husband and wife for a hundred days, and today the second lady is a little ugly in public, and she is still for the good of the entire prime minister's house, Xue Xiang was angry and looked at the fourth daughter angrily.

"Mei'er, what's going on!"

Xue Rumei knelt on the ground according to the plan, "Mei'er knows that she is wrong." Today, the eldest sister and the eldest mother embarrassed my mother at the banquet, I have not been in front of my mother since I was a child, my mother has always taken care of me, I only treat my mother as my own mother. I was confused about today's affairs for a while, so I cried in front of the nurse, the nurse has always hurt me and can't see me sad, and wants to take out this evil breath for me, so she beat the weak Duan. The mother only learned about this later, and hurriedly ran to Huixin Hospital, but the eldest mother had been beaten very badly at that time, and immediately called someone to escort the nurse away. When the eldest sister Fang came to the hospital, she saw the terrible scene of her mother being beaten, and thought that it was her mother's hand, so she injured her mother. ”

After reversing black and white, Xue Rumei cried with tears, "It's all eyebrows that shouldn't talk nonsense, it's all eyebrows." ”

Qin walked over and squatted down, and took Xue Rumei, who was acting with her, into his arms, "Mei'er can't see her mother's suffering." ”

Collecting his tears, Qin returned to the middle.

"But a mistake is a mistake, the nurse who bullied Sister Duan, I have already asked someone to throw her into the ravine, and told her to let the jackal eat to atone for her sin of bullying Sister Duan."

The Qin family held the three-foot white silk in front of her husband, "I didn't teach Mei'er well, I didn't take care of the people in the family, and I am sorry for the wife of the Prime Minister's house, so please ask my husband to do it." ”
