Chapter V: Punishment
When Lin saw Xiahou Shuang sitting next to the old lady, he kept listening to the conversation between the two. Only he knew that Xiahou Shuang would stage a big drama in the temple this time, but from the time Xiahou Shuang came back to the present, he couldn't see any clues.
Seeing this scene, I was shocked, and I wondered if the thing I had arranged was revealed.
Chunya was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "On the last day in the temple, a foreign man broke in. ”
"What?" snapped, the old lady put down the teacup angrily, "What the hell is going on?
Chunya told the events of that day, 1510, and hid the fact that Xiahou Shuang asked someone to call someone in advance, and only said that he heard that the young lady asked someone to call someone, so he ran to call the guards.
"What your maid said is the truth?" the old lady looked at Xiahou Shuang after listening.
Xiahou Shuang got up unhurriedly and said, "Back to grandmother, this is indeed the case." Because the guards arrived in time to drive people away, the granddaughter didn't want her grandmother to worry. He glanced at Chunya: "You shouldn't talk too much about this and bother your grandmother." ”
"Your maid is also worried about you, but I think she is faithful, go and call me the king to ask me. When the little maid outside the door heard this, she hurriedly ran away and called someone.
"Villain Wang Chong, meet the old lady. The young ladies who were seated behind the screen heard a deep voice,
"Get up and talk back. "Because Wang Chong is a family general and was injured at the border pass, the old lady is still more respectful," I heard the maid of the frost girl say that a foreign man broke in on the last day of the frost girl's incense, and called you to ask about the situation that day. ”
On that day, the villain arranged for the brothers to take turns to be on duty in front of the temple, and after lunch, Mama Wang, who was beside the lady, called the two brothers on duty away and carried some items to the carriage. The villain heard the cry of the spring bud girl and went to the main hall to check, and found a man in the hall, and later beat this person out of the temple. ”
After speaking, Wang Chongfu knelt down again: "The villain is derelict in his duties, please punish the old lady." ”
The old lady did not speak immediately after hearing this, and everyone did not dare to come out, and the room was silent. Seeing this, Lin hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty: "It's the daughter-in-law who didn't arrange it well, and the mother shouldn't be angry." ”
The old lady said angrily: "You are indeed at fault, that Mama Wang is your wet nurse is an old man, but she never wanted to act so carelessly." ”
"Eldest daughter-in-law, can you tell me how to punish her?" Although the old lady was angry, she still gave the Lin family dignity. After all, the nurse who punished her daughter-in-law undoubtedly slapped her daughter-in-law in the face, and this was to give the Lin family a step down, so that she could close the door and quietly punish herself.
"Grandmother is not angry, Mama Wang is an old man next to her mother, and this time she went to the temple assigned by her mother to take care of her daily life. ”
"I think that Mama Wang didn't let people in on purpose, maybe it was negligence, but fortunately, I didn't have anything to do, and my grandmother still exempted her from punishment. Xiahou Shuang softly persuaded softly.
As soon as Xiahou Shuang's words came out, the Lin family secretly said that it was not good, although the old lady didn't care much about Xiahou Shuang's daily life, it was also because she looked at her own daily life. If something happens, I will definitely be the first to spare myself.
Knowing that Xiahou Shuang was going to the main hall after lunch, Mama Wang took people away, even if she didn't do it on purpose, she was ineffective. If there is such a mistake, the grandmother will be punished, and if the old lady becomes suspicious, it will be even worse.
"Come on, go and arrest Mama Wang and hit the twenty boards!" Sure enough, the old lady, who had already calmed down, immediately ordered to go down after hearing this.
"Mother, stop your anger, Mama Wang is very old, she will die if the 20th board is beaten. Lin was shocked, he didn't expect the old lady to be so ruthless, and when did she feel so humiliated by her poor nurse.
"The daughter-in-law is also at fault in this matter, and the arrangement is not good in advance, please let my mother spare Mama Wang this time. Lin knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Cast out those two men as well, and we will not keep these unobedient people in our house. ”
"Yes. Wang Chong bowed and replied.
After speaking, the old lady waved her hand and motioned for Wang Chong to retreat.
Seeing this scene, Xiahou Shuang got up from the screen and knelt beside the Lin family to plead: "This matter is all because of the granddaughter, and it is really unfilial to bother the grandmother so much." I still hope that my grandmother will not blame my mother, I think that Mama Wang didn't do it on purpose, and asked my grandmother to let her go. Xiahou Shuang raised her pretty face slightly and looked earnest,
The old lady looked at this scene and said, "You girl is kind-hearted, and she pleads for others. ”
Xiahou Yan also rushed out at this time, knelt beside her mother, and cried pear blossoms with rain: "Grandmother, my mother doesn't know about this matter, please don't punish my mother." ”
"Yan'er, stop it. Lin hurriedly interrupted her, the old lady still has the right to punish a slave, but when it comes to her, the wife of the marquis, the old lady still has to think twice.
I stood up because I hoped that the old lady would spare her for the sake of Mama Wang being her wet nurse, but now Xiahou Yan rushed out for fear that it would backfire.
The old lady waved her hand: "It's because she is an old man in the house, she must know the rules and remember her duty, and the master's affairs must always be attentive." ”
"The young ladies in our house are all noble, not to mention that the frost girl is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, how can this identity be seen by a foreign man at will, if there is something that damages the reputation of the frost girl, the eldest daughter-in-law, you can afford it!"
The more the old lady spoke, the more angry she became, Lin's face was pale, she knelt down and kept wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "For the sake of her being your nurse, hit twenty boards, and get out of the Hou Mansion if she begs for mercy!"
The old lady is old, and she has not been in charge of the mansion all these years. But after being born in Jiangmen, the young man went to the border with the old marquis to kill the enemy, and he was a decisive person, and the last sentence was unceremoniously vaguely with the momentum of the year.
When Lin heard the last sentence, he was so frightened that he stopped the movements of his hands, slightly panicked. His lips moved, and the rest of the words were never spoken.
"Get up. ”
Seeing her grandmother speak, Xiahou Shuang got up and stepped forward to help Lin up. Lin's body stiffened, resisted the urge to shake off Xiahou Shuang's hand, and secretly gritted his silver teeth, what medicine did this girl take wrong today! Could it be that she couldn't see any clues in the temple?
glanced at Xiahou Shuang, and saw this girl, with a calm face. The Lin family only comforted himself, probably not, maybe it was just that the maid was loyal to the lord, and he was going to find an opportunity to drive the dead girl out of the waiting house.
......
Lin's heart was at war, and when others saw her standing still without saying a word, they couldn't help but feel strange, thinking that they were unhappy in their hearts when they were scolded by the old lady this time.
"Sister-in-law, you have to restrain your subordinates, the province's self-control is the old man's doing things that violate yin and yang, and even the sister-in-law is scolded. Wang, who had seen enough of the excitement on the side, covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Don't worry about my brother and sister," this Wang really didn't let go of any opportunity, Lin's blood surged upward, and he almost fell to the ground, popping out word by word.
"Alright, let's all step aside. ”
