Chapter VII: Punishment

Inside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion

Mo'er packed up Xu Qingyang's scrolls, pen and paper,

"Girl, I've cleaned it up."

Before Xu Qingyang could say anything, Mama Wang frowned, turned around and reprimanded,

"Little hoof, how many times have I taught you what to call yourself in front of the girl!"

Mo'er was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "The slave knows that she is wrong. ”

"Mama, what are you doing here?"

Xu Qingyang walked to Mo'er's side and helped Mo'er up, "She's still young, don't blame her." ”

Mama Wang shook her head and said, "Does the girl really think that the slave is too strict?" ”

Xu Qingyang raised his head and looked at Mama Wang inexplicably.

"Alas," Mama Wang sighed and knelt down slowly, and Mo'er on the side immediately knelt down when she saw this.

"Mama,"

Xu Qingyang was startled, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to help Mama Wang.

"Girl, please listen to the slave first. The girl's age in the boudoir should have been pampered and taught by her parents.

But the lady went, and there was only an old woman with the slave and maid. The old man is busy with government affairs, and he has a large family on his shoulders, so it is inevitable that he will be negligent with the girl.

Because of this, there is no room for negligence in etiquette around the girl, if there are others present today, and the matter spreads, they will first say that Mo'er is the child of the slave and arrogant.

Secondly, they said that the girl could not teach the subordinates well, and no one taught them themselves, and if they passed on some more, they would say that there was no etiquette in the entire Xu Mansion. ”

After Mama Wang finished speaking, she looked at Xu Qingyang, expecting her to understand what she said.

Xu Qingyang nodded, "Thank you for your teaching, Qingyang understands." ”

Mo'er was beaten ten boards, and in the open space of Xu Qingyang's courtyard, the people who served Xu Qingyang were watching from the sidelines, and it was carried out by Mama Wang herself.

Ten boards went down, and blood oozed from Mo'er's pants, listening to Mo'er's wail, Xu Qingyang's heart seemed to be fried.

"You all listen, in the future, in the girl's yard, if someone does not follow the rules, does not respect the etiquette law, and ignores the family rules, this is the consequence, do you understand!"

Mama Wang looked at her daughter who had passed out, endured the heartache, and taught everyone a lesson.

Mo'er was taken down for treatment, and there was no way to serve Xu Qingyang in a short period of time, so he was replaced by Xiangling, who used to serve Zhang Zhao.

Originally, after Zhang Zhao's death, the slaves who served in the past were specially allowed to return home except for the children born in the family, and even the deed of sale was returned by Zhang Zhao.

But when Xiangling returned home, she found that her family couldn't accommodate her at all, and her mercenary brother-in-law blindly wanted Xiangling to marry the landlord in the county as a concubine.

Xiangling recalled her days in the house, and she still couldn't let go of Xu Qingyang in her heart, so she secretly ran back.

Xu Jian made the decision, accepted Xiangling, and promised to find a reliable servant in the house to be Xiangling's husband.

Since then, there has been one more reliable person around Xu Qingyang.

Xiangling accompanied Xu Qingyang to the study hall, and saw Xu Qingyang sullen on the way, so he kindly persuaded him,

"The girl doesn't think that Mama Wang is unkind, she does this for the good of the girl."

"I understand that Mama is loyal to her mother, and naturally she doesn't want me to be wronged. Xiangling, was her mother also well-behaved when she was a child? ”

"The slave doesn't know this. When the slave maid served the lady, it was half a year before the lady was to get married, and the lady was already a talented woman in the capital. ”

Xu Qingyang nodded and continued to walk towards the school, meeting Lu Shixian and Twelve, who had been waiting for a long time, on the way.

"Qingyang has seen Brother Shixian."

Xu Qingyang stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Lu Shixian also returned the salute in a proper manner, "I've seen Sister Qingqing." Brother Xu said that he was going to pick up the other two brothers today, so he didn't come to see his sister. ”

Zhang Zhao has an elder brother in his family, who was transferred to other places a few years ago, and brought his old mother over to support him.

After Zhang Zhao died and was buried, he sent Xu Rong, Xu Qian, and Xu Su to report the funeral, and they happened to return to the city today.

"Second brother, the front is Jiankang, after crossing this mountain, I will be home."
