Not long after returning to the Yishu Pavilion, I heard that the people in the house hurriedly went out to ask for a doctor, Acui stopped a person and asked, and the little girl replied: "Madame's aunt and grandmother somehow have a stomach upset, and it was only a few quarters of an hour", so he congratulated eight or nine times out of ten, and Madame immediately ordered us to quickly go and ask the doctor to take a look at my uncle and grandmother.

Atsui replied to me, and I felt a little more proud.

At this time, the sun disappeared outside, as if there were signs of rain, and sure enough, it was not long before the rain fell on the plane tree outside the window. Atsui complained: "It's a good day, why is it raining again, now the rain is no longer as warm as in summer, I'll go get a cloak and put it on for Miss!" ”

Immediately, Atsui reminded me again: "The schoolwork lady assigned by Mr. yesterday has not been written yet, and it is time to file a case and study!" "I never liked the homework assigned by the old gentleman, and I always liked to ask people to explain some big truths, which was boring.

Atsui brought me a bookcase and began to grind it for me, and I flipped through the excerpts from the lessons, only to see that "if you know what you have done in the past, you will make progress in your studies; Seeing that there are many desirable people in the world, then virtue and progress day by day" and "the dogma of the father and brother of the family, being solid and humble, is the descendant of the alcohol; Do not change the law of the ancestors, be loyal and diligent and thrifty, and be a long-standing family. ”

I don't know how much I was taught this kind of truth in the past, but I didn't even think about it, and I just wrote it.

But when it came to the second sentence, I stopped, and Atsui looked at me and asked, "Why is the young lady still not writing?" ”

I didn't hide it, and said, "I don't think this question is inappropriate, if I write it according to my own will, I will definitely write it inappropriately, but I don't want to go against my own will, so I think about how to write!" ”

Atsui asked me, "What's wrong?" Respecting his father and brother, being modest and thrifty, it is indeed the duty of a human being, Atsui does not understand. ”

With the pen in my hand, leaning against my chin and facing slightly, I asked Atsui, "What if this ancestral method is wrong?" ”

Atsui didn't answer.

I then asked: "There are so many jackals in this world, if you are loyal and humble and do not fight back, then the wicked are not influenced, and the good people will not be able to gain a foothold, so do you still want to be a generous descendant?" ”

Ah Cui had always listened to me, and soon understood what I meant, and said, "If you compare your second uncle and grandmother to a jackal, it is not okay to follow the religious rules and etiquette of your ancestors!" ”

I reached out and scratched her nose and praised, "Atsui is such a very smart little girl!" ”

I sighed, "But this lesson is still to be written, and it would not be my sin to tell the old master about such a paradox, and to make him angry, because he is as old as my grandmother." ”

Atsui shook her head and smiled.

The rain came and went as fast as it came, and when the homework was done, the rain stopped. Xi'er hurriedly ran in, with a little rain on her body, she didn't have time to put away her umbrella, and her face was frightened, and she said, "Miss, Madame is furious, and my aunt and grandmother have just left, so I ask you to go over quickly!" ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but get a little nervous, and my mother, who never lost her temper, asked, "Is my mother so anxious?" ”

Xi'er stomped her foot anxiously: "Miss, that's right, you can hurry up and go with me!" ”

Xi'er, who heard this, was so anxious that she couldn't help but look at Ah Zhu, who was standing beside me unconsciously, and went to her mother's yard immediately.

Along the way, Xi'er walked very fast, and urged me from time to time. My thoughts were like twine, and Ah Zhu was so frightened that his face was not happy, and he grabbed my shirt from time to time.

Liuchun is near, I want my mother to be in charge of the affairs of the house, and the slaves and miscellaneous servants are also the most, and they are always the most lively place, but now there is no sound. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw two rows of about ten people standing neatly on both sides, looking forward, sitting on the top of the hall is my mother, goose egg face, eyes are clear, eyebrows and nose, is really a beautiful woman, full of luxury, at this time wearing a royal blue cotton clothes, the body leans forward slightly, the left fist is holding the handkerchief and leaning on the corner of the table, there seems to be anger between the eyebrows.

I slowed down my pace, slightly pushed the door into the threshold, although I was a little nervous and scared, but I tried to smile on my face, and bowed down: "My daughter is not filial, I don't know who made my mother angry?"

My mother didn't appreciate it at all, I only heard the sound of slapping the table mixed with the word "standing", and I took the shelf and pestle it in place.

The mother then screamed, "Kneel down for me!"

I couldn't hear my brain on my legs, and I slammed straight into the floor with a dull "thump"!

Although my eyes are fixed on my mother at the moment, I still feel confused, as if I can't see anything, and I don't know anything about my surroundings. When I was young, I was not raised by my mother, only followed my grandmother, and when I was older, I took my mother's side to live, and I was often close to a few brothers, and my mother was a very unsmiling person, although she treated me well, but she rarely played with me, but never treated me poorly with food and clothing.

It's never like this on weekdays, and now I don't even dare to call "mother" anymore when I encounter such a scene.

It took a sound to wake me up completely.

My mother threw the kettle directly at me, and I hurriedly closed my eyes, only to feel that some broken porcelain slag was coming to my face.

The two aunts standing on the side also hurt me in the day, Aunt Yun was more anxious than Aunt Yun, hugged me and shouted: "Oh, madam, what's the matter, don't say that this young lady is the only daughter of you and the master, those poor people outside, they don't teach their children so ruthlessly, if this pot is broken half an inch forward, hurting the appearance, then how will this child marry in the future!"

The mother said angrily: "If this child is blindly pampered, it will be a disaster to marry into another family, it is better for me to lock her up at home, and I will not be looked down upon in the future!"

The two aunts did not dare to speak again, and there was a faint sound of weeping and whimpering, and the mother pointed to the maid beside her and said, "Look, are you all dead?" Have you ever seen a wife in a family who taught her children and a concubine intervened? It's not that I'm so good to you on weekdays that the rules are all abolished, so why don't you help the two aunts up and take them down! ”

I was kneeling alone at the moment, my hands hanging on my knees, not daring to touch the floor, the porcelain pieces were scattered in front of me, and I recognized this as Ah Zhuduan's tea kettle, and the tea in the pot was dry.

My mother still didn't stop her anger, but she stood up and pointed at me with her finger: "You cheap embryo, I didn't expect you to shine on the lintel, but now you don't know where you learned to bring it to your home, and you have a set of poisonous faces, if I don't teach you today, I will have no shame to be your mother."

At first, she smashed the pot and scolded my aunt for protecting me, I didn't feel wronged, but now I can only hear the four words "cheap embryo", and my head is like a small pebble hitting each other, and when I raise my head again, my eyes are bright red like blood, and my eyes have become resentful.

When she saw me like this at this time, she was stunned for a moment, and then she regained her anger, glanced at Xi'er Yun'er, and said, "You go and get me a ring ruler!"

The two looked at each other, neither of them willing to raise their feet first to obey the order, and the mother, seeing that there was no movement in the room, sat down on the chair and shouted, "You dead girls, dare not obey my orders!"

At this time, I didn't know when tears poured out, and I stood up and replied: "My daughter is here, if you want to kill me today, I dare not move my feet, and wait for you to take the whip yourself, and I will not seem to be your own child, you ...... Why...... I've been scolding so ugly! ”

After listening to me, her face was a little worse, and she stroked her palm and said, "Okay! You are also a backbone, even if I have the reputation of a vicious mother-in-law today, I will teach you a lesson this little hoof who does not know the height of the sky. ”

Then she went behind the screen, and I could only hear the sound of the porcelain vases on the shelves and the books falling to the ground, and the sound of her scolding, and the maidservants beside her, who seemed to have found something to deal with me in a short time, and scattered and hurried footsteps came towards me.

I have seen the feather duster, slender and long, and the feathers on it are still bright in color, and it seems that it has never been used, and today it is only for the sake of teaching me the light of day.

She was already holding the end of the ingrown fur tightly, and walked in my direction with a bare stick.

At this time, about four or five people knelt around her, and four or five people surrounded me, and Yun'er and Xi'er shouted: "Madam, please spare Miss!" Miss has been fine-skinned and tender since she was a child, and she can't eat like this! ”

A little guy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old kept kowtowing to me on the ground: "Miss, admit your mistake quickly!" "yes, admit your mistake!" All the voices, different voices, were saying the same thing to me, and I got out of nowhere, and kicked the little guy away, saying, "I'm not wrong!"

My mother didn't say anything more at this time, pushed away the crowd, and rushed towards me, and in an instant, some of the servants who were dragging at the corner of my mother's clothes were also thrown out, and some came up again to stop me, and although I stood still, I was also pushed back a few steps by a few small servants, and the scene was chaotic.

Until a whip duster landed on me, and when it fell, the stick bounced upwards again. There was a deep stick mark on my right arm, and I didn't feel it at first after the beating, but after a while, I felt a burning pain on my body. Instinctively, I began to dodge, clutching my arms and shuddering, unaware that my mother had come at me again.
