Chapter 34: The Gift of the Sixth Lady (I)
That night, the son-in-law slapped the old slave, and then Tang Mei's sharp scolding broke out in Qinxiang Xiaozhuli. She wants to protect her old slave, she thinks that Mama Wang is loyal to her mother, loyal to her, and the relationship between two generations of masters and slaves that has lasted for decades is innocent and precious.
Su Bottle never quarrels with women, because women quarrel about emotions, not reason, and arguing back and forth often makes the problem worse.
He didn't look at Tang Mei, but put his hands behind his back, making a gesture to leave, and when he was about to leave, he turned his face sideways and said to Mama Wang, who was kneeling on the ground:
"Loyalty is valuable, but it also requires method. It's a shame that you're so old, and you are so willful. Even if you are angry with Concubine Fan and relieve your hatred for a while, what will be the consequences, have you considered it? When An Guogong knows about this, what will he think of you, and what will he think of your master? People are dying, and they can't let her live in peace in the last few days, so cruel and vicious, how can they be entrusted with a heavy responsibility? ”
Su Bei's gaze moved sideways and fell on Tang Mei, and her voice was low and flat: "I just became the superintendent, you should cherish it, not 'squander' it." I don't think that's a victory. And Fan's opposition to your mother is not without bitterness. ”
Su Bottle's voice became deeper and softer: "Right and wrong are a thing of the past, and people should still look forward." Hugh wants to have a hot brain and destroy his future. ”
Tang Mei didn't say a word in front of Concubine Fan, but when she returned home, she realized her grievances. Her breath was bulging, her chest bulging as if it were about to explode, rising and falling with her heavy breathing. The shiny satin surface reflects an alluring glow under the sweeping light of the moon.
Her eyes were a little complicated, but on the whole she was still a little more angry and aggrieved: "I don't care what her hardships are, and I don't care who is right or wrong, in short, she is my mother's enemy, and my mother died of depression." Mama Wang wants to avenge my mother, and I will not stop it, because I am not qualified to forgive her for my mother. And for me, she caused me to wait for ten years, discredited me, and made me a laughing stock! ”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and shouted, "Shouldn't I avenge myself!" I can tolerate people like her, then I'll just die! ”
Tang Mei was extremely aggrieved, and when she said that tears slipped down her cheeks, Mama Wang knelt down and crawled over, hugged her sixth lady, and cried with her throat. Tang Mei squatted down, hugged and cried with Mama Wang, the two of them mixed with snot and tears, and the indescribable bitterness of the world.
Seeing this, Su Bottle didn't know what to say, sighed, and walked away.
Su Bottle felt that there was only so much he could help them. And he is already very generous, and he slapped Mama Wang and did not wronged her.
If it weren't for the old monk's good internal skills and ability to alleviate Concubine Fan's condition, he really didn't know how to end it, so he would have to leave it there.
Fortunately, they stopped it in time, if their master and slave really made Concubine Fan angry to death, what would be the consequences?
If An Guogong knows about this, he will definitely be furious. Tang Mei is his daughter, and she may still have a way to live, but her son-in-law who has not been overfulfilled may not be so lucky.
The more Su Bei thought about it, the more angry he became, and even wanted to go back, he also slapped Tang Mei and scolded: You jumped into the fire pit and brought a cushion on your back. Isn't it too much not to say hello beforehand? Do you see me as a human being?
But if this slap is out, the title of the Su family's father may be gone, not to mention that Tang Mei will say a few good words in front of her father and promote the Su family's father to a baron.
The father of the Su family was originally a rich man, and his family had 800,000 taels of silver, and he had eaten and drunk for several generations. Suddenly, he was robbed clean by the Shence Army, and Daddy Su's spirit was devastated. Now he comforts himself with this title, and then with that meager income, he can support a family of twenty-one people.
With the trust of his father, the expectations of his aunts, and the desire to revitalize the family, Su Bottle came from afar. If you can't bring benefits to the Su family, what will be the result if you slap the title that your father relies on for survival?
Daddy is not crazy?
Even if he is not crazy, he has no money on him, how can he support his aunt and a group of pampered children? How many must starve to death?
Doesn't it mean that this slap is equivalent to killing several lives?
And it's all family......
Forget it, bear with it.
Let's just say that some patience will not be in vain. In order to continue her life and make her life less painful, Princess Fan really suppressed this matter. And the things in the inner house, once they are suppressed, it will be very powerless to turn over the old accounts.
For example, when Concubine Fan poisoned Princess Fengyang, now it is unclear. You can only look at the results. As a result, Princess Fengyang was not poisoned, and Concubine Fan, who drank the soup, did not die.
Therefore, even Tang Qiong, the Duke of Anguo, chose not to characterize this matter. If you make a decision based on emotion, you will either be wronged by this or by that. Obviously, An Guogong is not a foolish person.
Since Concubine Fan didn't pursue this matter that night, when Tang Qiong came back, even if she turned her face and complained, Tang Mei's master and slave would have something to say - we are not angry with you. You said that your handmaid was stripped of her arm by Mama Wang, it was all fabricated and framed out of thin air. Not only did we not do anything, but we also asked our son-in-law to recuperate for you. We are here to honor you, and you slander us instead of appreciating it, which is simply too vicious.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Bottle went to the inner house to recuperate for the princess, and the princess was very useful, and ordered someone to serve tea to her uncle, send clothes, send a jade belt, and also gave a bull ear sharp knife made of pure gold. Not to mention the blade, even this exquisite scabbard inlaid with seven gems is also worth a lot of money.
Su Bottle looked ashamed, but in fact, he secretly accepted it.
However, recuperating for Concubine Fan also made Su Bottle very tired, and the loss was great. After leaving the inner house, Su Bottle planned to return to his snail room to recuperate. But as soon as he went home, he was blocked by Tang Wan, saying that Miss Six had sewn a robe for her uncle and asked her to go to Meige to try it on.
Su Bottle said, let her bring it back when she comes home in the evening, I need to rest, I don't have time to see her.
"Uncle, if the slave replies like this, the young lady will be angry."
"She's angry? I still have fire. You don't care, just go back like this. ”
"Uncle, think about it again."
"Okay, for Wan'er's sake, I'll think about it again, one, two, three, okay, I'll think about it."
The little maid smiled and waited for a new reply from her uncle.
The voice of Su Bottle came from the room, and he said the reply just now, word for word.
The little maid walked away dejectedly.
Tang Wan, who was as cute as a porcelain doll with a double ball on her head, ran back and reported truthfully to Miss Six. The sixth lady sitting on the high couch of the superintendent had a gloomy face, but she didn't say anything. The little girl blinked her eyes, waiting for the young lady to get angry. But Miss Six didn't get angry today.
In the evening, Tang Mei really brought back the silver and white robe, and once again took Tang Yan and Tang Yu to the small courtyard of the back cover room, when the door of the son-in-law's room was closed. The maid knocked on the door, but the son-in-law didn't open the door, only saying that he was practicing and should not be disturbed.
"Su Baoyu, it's me who came."
"Who are you?"
There was a question in the room that could explode Tang Mei's anger, and seeing Tang Mei roll her eyes, her heart bulged violently: "Who do you say I am!" ”
Su Bottle said: "Listening to the voice, it seems to be Miss Six." Oh, Miss Six came to the cold house, she was really wronged. In order not to let Miss Six be wronged, I think it's better not to come in. The province stepped on the cheap land, which made the sixth lady unhappy. ”
"Boom!" Tang Mei was furious and kicked the door.
At this time, the unhurried voice of the son-in-law came from the house again: "Kick, kick hard, kick it bad." ”
Tang Mei roared: "Co-authoring is not kicking your door!" Okay, you Su Baoyu, you wait for me! When that woman is dead, you will let me go! Go far! ”
The sixth lady was angry with her son-in-law and ran away, and she didn't give away the white robe in her hand. Tang Yan and Tang Yu were two ignorant little babies, staring, shrinking their necks, and cautiously following behind the sixth sister who was full of fire, not daring to say a word.
Miss Six returned to the study, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and threw the package wrapped in the white robe down the window.
In a flash, seven days passed, and in these seven days, Tang Mei didn't go to say a word to her son-in-law. But during this time, she also did some self-criticism. She felt that there was something wrong with her performance that day.
Indeed, a son-in-law has no status in the family and cannot be regarded as a husband. But such a big event, without telling him, took him to the Guogong Mansion to accompany him on an adventure, and he did a bit of a bully. Empathy, if others treat you like this, how do you feel?
Let's just say that Miss Six still has some advantages, and this seemingly ordinary advantage is actually not all women. Men with a little experience know that women usually don't admit their mistakes to men. Especially the women of later generations, they were dizzy by countless chicken soups.
And Tang Mei's merits are not just self-criticism, her moral standards are far beyond ordinary people. She saw someone stealing from the warehouse and made her angry.
The whole family is so ethos that they are stealing, but she doesn't steal, so that she is the poorest. I wanted to give my son-in-law a few gifts, but I didn't have the money to buy them.
And the higher the moral level, the more severe and demanding it is. If someone like her is an official, eighty percent is a cool official. Because she is more than ordinary people who can't accept the moral corruption of others, and in the face of ugliness, she is more angry and easy to be ruthless.
Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing. If the officials of the world are like Tang Mei, it is a world worthy of praise. But if a group of people with very low morals are in power, it is estimated that stealing other people's daughters-in-law must be eliminated from the law, because it is convenient for them to steal.
However, Tang Mei is a proud woman in the end, and in her mouth, she will not admit her mistakes to her son-in-law.
Not to mention the son-in-law, even in the face of the prince, she refused to bow her head.
If not, perhaps the prince would not have changed the marriage contract; If not, An Guogong would not easily agree to the royal family's request to change the marriage contract. Knowing her son Mo Ruo's father, Tang Qiong knew that the six girls were not suitable for entering the palace at all, and she was easy to die there.
On the evening of the seventh day, Tang Mei once again came to the door of her son-in-law with the white robe......
