Chapter 014: Tea Words and Tea Words
Mrs. Shen greeted her with a smile, "Master, why did you come back so early?" Aren't you busy today? β
Changning Hou is forty-five this year, he is still young, and he is a military attache and has been practicing martial arts all year round, so even if he is middle-aged, his figure is still tall and straight, and his strong figure has no fat.
Murong Zhuque looked at Chang Ning Hou without a trace - Chang Ning Hou's appearance is also extremely masculine and handsome, but unfortunately, such a solemn man's appearance was not inherited to Shen Rooster, and the Rooster had Mrs. Shen's peach blossom eyes.
"Hmm." Chang Ninghou agreed with a face, and without waiting for others to say hello, he had already walked quickly towards the ancestral hall.
Everyone guessed that Hou Ye came back suddenly, it was definitely not because he was idle today, but because he heard someone report that something had happened in the backyard.
Marquis Changning was taken aback when he saw the broken bricks on the ground in the ancestral hall, and thundered furious, "What's going on?" Who's going to explain? β
Everyone was stunned, even Mrs. Shen trembled with fright.
At this time, Mama Li was in a hurry and said, "Back to the Hou Ye, these are all done by the young lady!" β
Everyone secretly thought in their hearts - with the arrogant virtue of the young lady, she must be provoking the Hou Ye.
However, everyone saw that the young lady lowered her head, hid her face with her sleeves, and began to cry.
Cry?!
The young lady can still cry!?
Seeing that Murong Sparrow was abnormal, Mrs. Shen shouted in her heart, "Master Hou is angry, it may be that there is an abnormality in the sky recently, so the green bricks are broken, and the concubine will let the craftsman replace them with new ones now." β
As soon as Mrs. Shen's words fell, the young lady cried more sadly and loudly.
The woman's voice was already pleasant and crisp, and even the crying was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and it was very good.
However, the cry of grievances is more and more reflected in Mrs. Shen's desire.
Chang Ninghou glanced at Mrs. Shen deeply, and then asked, "Daughter-in-law, do you know what's going on?" β
Murong Suzaku took off his wide sleeves, revealing his pear-flowered, pitiful cheeks, sucked the tip of his reddish nose, and said weakly, "Return...... Back to Hou Ye's words, here's the thing...... This morning...... Daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law was a little scared...... Somewhat nervous...... Ignorance...... Where to start......"
This kind of delicate and weak woman is the best at tough guys.
Sure enough, Chang Ninghou's voice softened, as if he was afraid of frightening the little girl, "It's all a family, don't be nervous, what do you think of and say, don't worry, say it slowly." β
Mrs. Shen was so angry that her face turned blue, but she couldn't help it - now that Hou Ye was angry, she couldn't do anything, and if she did, it would only cause Hou Ye to be disgusted.
Murong Suzaku said weakly, "...... Yes, Master Hou. This morning...... The daughter-in-law heard that she was going to give tea to her wife and wanted to freshen up, but there was no maid to help her daughter-in-law put on makeup and comb her hair......"
Mama Li didn't expect the young lady to be able to complain directly to the Hou Ye, so she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.
When Changning Hou saw Mama Li's abnormality, he already had a prediction in his heart.
Murong Suzaku continued to complain miserably, "Later, my daughter-in-law had no choice but to ...... I can only ask the second-class maid in the yard to help, and I ...... I also felt too guilty and took it out of the dowry...... Eight taels of silver for a reward......"
Changninghou glared at Mama Li coldly and said, "This silver, the old man will give it to you." β
Murong Suzaku hurriedly shook his head, "No...... No, thank you for your kindness, your daughter-in-law doesn't use it, your daughter-in-law's dowry is more than 1,000 taels, which is enough. β
The way of everyone's hearts - more than a thousand taels is more? How many young ladies have never seen the world?
But the Marquis of Changning was even more merciful to the woman.
Murong Suzaku continued, "After freshening up, the daughter-in-law wanted to have breakfast, but the husband didn't let her, and the daughter-in-law had no choice but to come hungry to give tea to the lady. But...... The daughter-in-law was hungry, her hands trembled, she didn't hold the tea bowl steady, and accidentally dropped the tea bowl...... An aunt came up with the idea to let her daughter-in-law come to the ancestral hall, and Mrs. ...... Let the daughter-in-law come to kneel in the ancestral hall. β
Everyoneβokay, none of the sue or the sue have been left behind.
Chang Ninghou stared at Mrs. Shen and asked with her eyes--is it really as she said?
Mrs. Shen hurriedly explained, "The old man is angry, the concubine doesn't know that her daughter-in-law didn't have breakfast, if she knew, she would definitely let her have breakfast." And it was Aunt Sun who made her daughter-in-law kneel in the ancestral hall, and Aunt Sun said that the tea ceremony broke the tea bowl, which was too unlucky, and the concubine was not punishing the daughter-in-law, but the ancestor helped the daughter-in-law to go to bad luck. β
Of course, Chang Ninghou could see what was happening, but he still saved a little face for the woman in the backyard.
Stretching out his hand and pointing to the green bricks of the ancestral hall, "Daughter-in-law, what's going on with the bricks in the ancestral hall?" β
Murong Suzaku had an innocent expression, "Back to the Hou Ye, the daughter-in-law doesn't know, the daughter-in-law obediently came to kneel in the ancestral hall, and as soon as she knelt down, the brick broke, which frightened the daughter-in-law." The daughter-in-law hurriedly asked Mama Qi and Mama Li to come in to see, but they suspected that the bricks were broken by the daughter-in-law. β
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a pair of snow-white little hands and slender wrists, "Daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law doesn't have the ability to break the bricks with her bare hands...... Later, the two grandmothers continued to ask their daughters-in-law to kneel, and they watched from the side, and saw with their own eyes that the brick was inexplicably broken, so they went to report to the wife. β
Changninghou was shocked, and hurriedly squatted down to check the broken bricks.
Sure enough, it seemed to be shattered.
The question is that there is no trace of a sharp blade, how can it be broken?
He saw that there was still half an unbroken brick next to him, and he used his internal force in the palm of his hand to slap it at the green brick.
The bricks shattered, but the wreckage was different.
The green bricks that he shattered with internal force were shattered, not cracked by other bricks.
Marquis Changning got up thoughtfully and asked, "After you knelt down, were these bricks broken together?" β
Murong Suzaku replied timidly, "Go back to the Hou Ye...... No, wherever the daughter-in-law kneels, any brick will be broken. When Mama Qi went to report to Madame, Mama Li asked her daughter-in-law to kneel in another place, and her daughter-in-law knelt from beginning to end, and all the bricks were broken. β
Mama Li was already trembling, and she was amazed in her heart - who would have thought that an illegitimate daughter of Murong Mansion would be a master of the inner house! Obviously, she took the initiative to provoke, and now she has sued everyone again!
Mrs. Shen was also frightened, "Master Hou, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine!" The concubine really didn't know that her daughter-in-law didn't have breakfast, and this kneeling in the ancestral hall was not the concubine's idea. β
Murong Suzaku drooped his head, and the corners of his lips hooked into a smile - this is cowardice? Boring!
Marquis Changning was furious, "Without your permission, can she come to the ancestral hall?" Whose new daughter-in-law will kneel in the ancestral hall one day and spread it, what do you make your colleagues think of the old man? How can Rang Ziyan hold his head up? β
What Marquis Changning didn't say was that offending the Book of Rites was equivalent to offending the prince!
How can the prince offend the Marquis of Changning like this now?
Mrs. Shen lowered her head, her eyes were red from training, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, Mrs. Shen's tears would have flowed out.
Murong Suzaku smiled in his heart for a long time, and continued to talk tea, "Master Hou, please...... Don't blame Madame, there are no outsiders today, this matter will not be spread, Hou Ye's colleagues will not know, and Fujun's friends will not know. β
