The beauty of the peasant girl of crossing

Mrs. Zhou hooked the corners of her lips and looked at the crowd with a smile:

"Actually, in my opinion, whether it's a concubine or a concubine, it doesn't matter what the others are. Children's character comes first."

"In the future, as long as the girls in the mansion are obedient and filial, the brothers can properly inherit the family business of our Zhou family. This is the pride of us elders, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes!" The people around heard the words and nodded in agreement.

"The old lady loves the girls and brothers in the mansion. The children will definitely miss the old lady."

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhou have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, so they naturally know what to say to make Mrs. Zhou happy.

Shen Furong, who was sitting on the chair, didn't speak, but took a sip of the tea on the table, and then looked at Chen Shi with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Shen Furong: "I think Rong'er is also tired. She must be tired after driving a long way. Why don't you go to the room to rest for a while. The family has prepared a welcome banquet for you. When the meeting time is up, I'll call for someone to call you."

Shen Furong nodded and smiled, "Good!"

***
The two households of the Zhou family are divided into separate residences, the eldest household lives in the east residence, and Mrs. Zhou lives with the second household in the west residence. The east and west residences are only separated by a small door, and the distance is very close.

After the dinner, Zhou Yu returned to Xiyuan with Aunt Jing, and looked at the cloth on the table in amazement.

There are a total of five pieces of cloth on the table, all of which are of the highest quality brocade, each of which is radiant and colorful, which makes people feel admirable when looking at it, one is bright peach red, one is bright pink, one is sky blue, and the other is lake blue color, a purple rose.

With a bright smile on her face, Aunt Jing greeted Zhou Yu and said:
"Come and see, which of these fabrics do you like, my sister Yu is so beautiful, only clothes made of this luxurious brocade are suitable."

Zhou Yu leaned forward, the light in her eyes was shining, she hadn't worn such a good material yet.

It feels smooth and smooth, and it is very bright and dazzling.

These were brought by the cousin Shen Furong who married to the capital. She also brought a lot of novel gifts this time, but Mrs. Zhou only gave her and my aunt a few bolts of fabric.

But fortunately, these brocade materials are all of the highest quality, one ordinary piece of brocade costs dozens of taels of silver.

"These fabrics are in trendy colors that are sure to look good on you."

Aunt Jing gestured to Zhou Yu with those colorful brocades:

"Look, this pink is more like sister Yu's complexion, and the whole flower-like person stands in front of my eyes."

"Yes, it must look good when made into clothes."

Zhou Yu looked at several pieces of fabrics in a tricky manner, and they all looked good.

While talking, I suddenly heard the word from the little girl outside: The master is here.

The laughter in the room suddenly froze, Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Aunt Jing, who suppressed her smile, and said lightly, "I'm a little tired, put away all these fabrics!"

The maids quickly cleared the table with their hands and feet, and then made a pot of hot tea and brought it up.

When Lord Tuesday entered the door, he had a smug expression on his face, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the corners of his eyes.

After seeing the room, Aunt Zhou was half leaning on the bed, and Zhou Yu was putting a cloth scarf on her forehead, and suddenly frowned:
"What's the matter, wasn't it fine when you went out in the morning?"

Aunt Jing shook her head: "I don't know, I suddenly have a terrible headache..."

"Headache is a big deal, how could Duanduan suddenly have a headache?" Master Zhou stepped forward quickly, and covered Aunt Jing's hand with his big palm, and said worriedly.

"Auntie, don't hide it!"

At this time Zhou Yu stood up, with a full face of anger: "It is clear that Madam deliberately found fault and made Auntie sick."

"Don't talk nonsense," Aunt Jing said with a straight face, "Madam is a noble person, how can you, a junior, make such unreasonable remarks?"

"Auntie!"

Zhou Yu blushed when she heard that, she stomped her feet, and said anxiously, "You have been wronged, but you dare not let your father know, and you only suffer in silence by yourself, my daughter loves you so much."

Seeing that Aunt Jing didn't make a sound, Master Zhou's face darkened, and he looked at her seriously: "What's going on?"

Aunt Jing struggled for a moment, then slowly said:

"It wasn't a big deal at first. The eldest girl wanted to slap Yu'er in front of everyone. It's not that Yu'er has never been slapped by the eldest girl. It's just that there were so many clan relatives around at that time. Under the eyes of everyone, the sisters were at odds. The face of our second room."

"If it gets out, firstly it will damage the reputation of our Zhou family, and secondly, it will hinder the official reputation of the second master and brother. Therefore, the concubine dared to speak out to stop it. I didn't want to make my wife unhappy after a lot of painstaking efforts, and insisted on forcing me to go public. Get down on your knees and apologize."

The words that were neither soft nor hard really caught the pain of Lord Zhou.

What is the most important thing in Master Zhou's life?It's nothing more than Zhou's reputation and his own officials.

Now the Zhou Mansion is not as brilliant as when Eldest Brother was serving as Minister of Dali Temple, but although Eldest Brother is still an official from the capital, he has a high prestige among the people of Qingzhou.

Although he is an idle seventh-rank official, and his rank is not high, he is also a real official family.If your reputation is really ruined, you're in big trouble.

"This little bastard dared to beat someone in public. Is she crazy? It's a waste of my careful instructions to her!"

Master Tuesday's face was livid, and he snorted coldly, "There's also Mrs. Chen, she indulges her daughter in arrogance and recklessness, she doesn't look like the mistress of the house!"

"I know Madam doesn't like me, and hates me for stealing Second Master's favor."

Aunt Jing was pitiful, and her pear blossoms were crying like rain: "However, I was originally from a low family background. I have suffered a lot of grievances in the past, but now it is good... Being treated so lightly by my wife in front of others, I will be even more humble in the future."

She looked at Lord Tuesday with a pair of timid eyes: "Master, Madam will have to make trouble with me, this concubine is extremely terrified."

"Ma'am, she really went too far this time!"

Zhou Yu's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of black light, "Daddy, my aunt is soft-tempered, you have to make decisions for her."

After hearing the mother and daughter's chorus, Master Zhou was so angry that his eyes popped out, but he couldn't speak.

He really didn't expect that Chen, a woman who claims to be virtuous and virtuous, would actually make the matter of the inner house mean to the public. It seems that she is just pretending on weekdays!

So ignorant of the general situation, with shallow eyelids like a folk woman, this woman is a sinister!

He stood up abruptly from the stool, and sat down awkwardly after a while.

He remembered that he had just been reprimanded by his elder brother during dinner. The elder brother accused him of doting on his concubine and destroying his wife.

He lost his father very early, and he followed his elder brother since he was a child. Under the instruction and restraint, he was most afraid of this elder brother in his life.

At this time, the family is busy, if he really makes a scene, he can only be the one who is unlucky.

Thinking of this, he sighed, stroked Aunt Jing's hand and comforted him: "That Mrs. Chen has a weird temper, and she will inevitably say some unpleasant things, Wei Er, don't take it to heart, just go in the left ear and out the right ear." .”
