Chapter 95 Punishment
As soon as her words fell, Su Momo led two servants and walked in: "Old lady, do you want to take Fourth Miss down?"

Gu Chongyang sneered in his heart, but showed a puzzled look on his face: "Old lady, did I do something wrong? Why did I take it down?"

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Ge was choked by Gu Chongyang, and she slapped the table: "Madam Su, what are you doing?"

Madam Su was unspeakably surprised: "It's not that you called someone..."

"My tea is cold, I need to ask someone to refill it." Madam Ge said angrily, "You don't have a wink, I think you are old and confused."

"Yes, yes. It's all my fault. I didn't hear clearly and misunderstood what the old lady meant on my own." Madam Su said to Gu Chongyang with a red face, "Miss Si, please don't take it to heart."

"You are the person who serves the old lady, how dare I?" Gu Chongyang's tone was flat, but in everyone's ears, they felt a slight sarcasm.

Mrs. Ge felt more and more ashamed: "What are you doing there, get out of here."

"Yes." Nanny Su was unlucky at the start, and retreated in despair.

"Si girl, you said you haven't seen Yunjin?"

She was asking about Gu Chongyang, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Chongzhu.

"She's lying!" Gu Chongzhu stared at Gu Chongyang fiercely: "She obviously took a whole piece of brocade today, the color is gorgeous, it's as bright as brocade, and it's very beautiful."

Mrs. Ge frowned upon hearing this.

Gu Chongzhu hurriedly said: "She brought it to us complacently and showed it off, saying that she was going to make a new dress for herself. I said at the time that such a good thing should be dedicated to the old lady. Unexpectedly, the fourth girl not only refused to give it, but also gave it to her." Said, even if it is burned, it will not be given to the old lady."

"Old lady, listen to what she said. She obviously didn't take you seriously. If you don't teach her a lesson, others will learn from her in the future. Wouldn't it be bad for the family. She If you don't know the dignity and disrespect your elders like this, you should be beaten to death!"

At the end, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Not only did Gu Chongyang not have any fear of being exposed, but he clapped his hands and laughed.

Not to mention that it wasn't Yunjin, even if it was Yunjin, it was only a small piece, which could barely be cut into three veils, but Gu Chongzhu exaggerated and said that there was a whole piece, and even framed her for disrespecting her elders.

Hmph, according to the character of the old lady, if she really did such a thing, I'm afraid she will peel off her skin if she doesn't die today.It's a pity that she is not a real little girl, and she is not willing to be a fish to be beaten by others, so how could she let Gu Chongzhu slander her.

"Second sister, your ability to make up nonsense is really top-notch. If you don't become a fortune teller and go to deceive people on the flyover, it's a pity for your talent."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Chongzhu said with a sneer: "There is an old lady here today, so you don't want to get away with it."

"It's obviously you who are talking nonsense." Gu Chongyang asked back: "Nanjing Yunjin is gold every inch, and the finished products are less than ten pieces every year, and most of them are paid to the palace. How can I get it? Even if I got it, now I am still in the filial piety period, and I can't wear brightly colored clothes at all, isn't it a joke when you say that I want to make clothes out of brocade for myself?"

"Your uncle is in Nanjing, he has plenty of money, so he can buy it naturally." Gu Chongzhu said: "Although you are in the filial age, you can do it secretly and wear it at home."

Gu Chongyang didn't know whether to be angry or funny: "Okay, even if that's the case, didn't you watch me while I was burning? Why didn't you stop it?"

Thinking of the brocade being burned, Gu Chongzhu became furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I don't want to stop it? You threw it too fast. Before I could stop it, it was all burned."

"Second sister, the earth dragon was burned in my room, and Mingtang just put a small carbon basin." Gu Chongyang pointed to the carbon basin in the corner of the room and said: "The carbon basin in my room is bigger than the old lady's." , even smaller. How could a whole piece of brocade be burned in the blink of an eye? Even if I really threw it into the charcoal basin, it would not burn out for a while, but you can still grab some back. Didn't get it?"

Gu Chongyang asked questions again and again, leaving Gu Chongzhu speechless, while Mrs. Ge stared at her face-to-face. She was anxious, so she said something indiscriminately: "I'm wrong, it's not a carbon basin, it's a brazier. , you prepared the brazier long ago."

Gu Chongyang asked again: "Could it be that I knew in advance that you were going and that I was going to burn brocade, so I prepared the brazier early?"

"This... this..." Gu Chongzhu couldn't justify himself, and the sweat on his forehead was about to break out.

"Second sister, you are talking nonsense and telling stories in front of the old lady. You are the one who really doesn't take the old lady seriously, right? The lies you made up, let alone the old lady, can be heard by anyone who comes here There are many loopholes, who do you think the old lady is?"

Gu Chongyang suddenly raised his voice: "Because you wore Third Sister's double-sided embroidered veil, I and Eldest Sister couldn't help but say a few words about you, and you wanted revenge, so you made up such a lie to slander me. What you did was to use the name of the old lady to suppress me, so as to realize your own shady plan. Fortunately, the old lady had a good plan and was not deceived by you. If not, if this matter got out, others would Not only will it say that our Gu family and sisters are at odds, but even the reputation of the old lady may be damaged."

"You don't like me any more, just come here for me, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't bring the old lady into it, and let her worry about our trivial matters. What you did, It really disappoints me. Even if you are a sister and I am a sister, I have to argue with my strength so that the old lady can see the truth clearly."

Mrs. Ge was not stupid, she just heard about Nanjing Yunjin at the first time, she was greedy and called Gu Chongyang without asking.

When Gu Chongyang was asking and answering with Gu Chongzhu, she could tell that it was tricky.There are too many loopholes in Gu Chongzhu's words.

She had already decided that Gu Chongzhu had lied, but what Gu Chongyang said was just and righteous, and even exaggerated Gu Chongzhu's bad intentions. Mrs. Ge's expression on looking at Gu Chongzhu was no longer as kind as before, but a kind of reproach and dissatisfaction .

Under Mrs. Ge's stern gaze, Gu Chongzhu was in a state of confusion, she swallowed and said: "Old lady, you must not listen to Si Yatou, she is hitting back."

Gu Chongyang looked calm and composed: "Old lady, which is right and which is wrong, I believe you will have a fair judgment."

This kind of performance of the two of them is obvious, Madam Ge naturally has a judgment in her heart.

She is not a smart person, the housekeeper has always been dependent on the eldest daughter-in-law, but she never allows the eldest daughter-in-law to challenge her authority.

Unexpectedly, this second granddaughter, who seems to be smart but actually stupid, dared to fool her. Is it because she was too kind to her, so she forgot about the superiority and inferiority?

She stared at Gu Chongzhu indifferently, thinking that this granddaughter was really daring.

"Old lady... old lady..." Gu Chongzhu was almost trembling with fright: "I didn't lie to you, it was the fourth girl who lied, so don't punish me."

Mrs. Ge heard her pleading, and her crime was more and more confirmed.

"Come here!" Mrs. Ge ordered in a cold tone, "Second girl..."

"Missy is here."

Just as Mrs. Ge said the words, there was a servant girl's announcement at the door, and the curtain moved, and Gu Chonghua stepped in.

"Big sister!" Gu Chongzhu jumped up and grabbed Gu Chonghua's hand as if he had found a life-saving straw: "You are here, tell the old lady, what did you see in the fourth girl's yard this afternoon? "

Gu Chonghua came to greet Mrs. Ge, but she didn't expect to be asked by Gu Chongzhu as soon as she entered the door. She was confused: "Second sister, is there anything strange in the fourth girl's yard? I didn't see anything."

"No, no, no. Have you forgotten? Fourth girl has Yunjin, Nanjing Yunjin!" She looked at Gu Chonghua nervously, without blinking her eyes: "We were all there at the time, big sister, you still sing poems to praise that Yunjin of."

Mrs. Ge asked, "Why is Sister Hua also in the Begonia Court this afternoon?"

Calling others are the second girl, third girl, and fourth girl, and calling Gu Chonghua is sister Hua, and whoever is close to whom is distant can be distinguished by this title.

Gu Chonghua lightly blessed the body, showing the demeanor of everyone: "Returning to the old lady, I did go to the Begonia Courtyard in the afternoon. I went to deliver the handkerchief to the fourth younger sister. The third younger sister was there at the time, and later the second younger sister also went. It’s gone. It’s rare for us sisters to get together so well.”

She smiled slightly, calmly said: "Why, what happened?"

Mrs. Ge herself was born in the down-and-out Nanning uncle's mansion, and she was also a concubine, so she relied heavily on the eldest daughter-in-law who came from a famous noble family.

And Gu Chonghua, as the eldest granddaughter of her direct relative, has talent, manners and good manners, and people are full of praise wherever she goes.The most important thing is that Gu Chonghua's appearance is somewhat similar to hers. Others always say that "the eldest lady has the style of the whole body, and her every move has the character of the old lady when she was young", which greatly satisfies her vanity. Therefore, she He loves Gu Chonghua sincerely.

Hearing Gu Chonghua's question, her expression was as usual, and she said kindly: "It's not a big deal, but the second girl said that the fourth girl burned a piece of brocade. I'll ask what happened."

"This……"

Just as Gu Chonghua was about to speak, Gu Chongzhu said first: "Big sister, the fourth girl does have Yunjin, she would rather burn it than take it out for herself. Big sister, you were there at the time, and you saw it too, so hurry up Tell the old lady!"

Because she was too eager, her tone was a little aggressive, even a little bossy.It wasn't that she wanted to say that on purpose, but she was used to being superior when talking to people, and she showed it when she was not paying attention.

Gu Chonghua couldn't help but frowned slightly. She had a debate with Gu Chongzhu in the afternoon, which made her feel that Gu Chongzhu didn't take her sister seriously. She didn't expect that she was still so presumptuous in front of the old lady.

Even though Gu Chonghua had a good temper, she couldn't help it anymore.

"Second sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Where is there any brocade brocade? It's just an ordinary piece of brocade. The fourth sister was going to make a handkerchief, but accidentally dropped it and happened to fall into the carbon basin. Why did it turn into a piece of brocade in your mouth? Yun Jin?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Chongzhu didn't expect Gu Chonghua to say this, she screamed on the spot: "Why did you help Gu Chongyang, what did she do to you? You are a sister, but you actually helped Gu Chongyang , open your eyes and talk nonsense..."

"presumptuous!"

Gu Chonghua is Mrs. Ge's beloved granddaughter. Seeing Gu Chongzhu being so unruly and yelling at Gu Chonghua, Mrs. Ge felt that she was really an eyesore.It's fine for her to bully Gu Chongyang, but she also disrespects Gu Chonghua so much, how can she sit idly by.

"It's all my fault that I'm usually too lenient, even if you don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth. It's fine to make up sisters' black complaints full of nonsense, but they still don't know how to repent when they are refuted. Girls in the Gu family must be like Sister Hua even if they don't say it." You are well-educated and reasonable, but you are the first one who is so rude and rude. Since your mother doesn't discipline you, let me discipline you."

Mrs. Ge said sharply: "Madam Su, you are blind and deaf, why don't you hurry up and bring someone here, take this thing that doesn't understand the dignity and inferiority to me, and lock it in the small Buddhist hall, and don't give her food. , Let her kneel and reflect."

Because the second wife Fei is Madam Ge's niece, so Madam Ge usually indulges Gu Chongzhu a lot. Small mistakes are just passed by with one eye closed, but this time she first deceived Madam Ge, By disrespecting Gu Chonghua again, it can be said that he has offended Mrs. Ge. The two crimes are combined, how can Mrs. Ge not punish her.

Only then did Gu Chongzhu realize that she had caused a catastrophe. She knelt down with a thud, her expression terrified, and she was in a state of confusion: "No, old lady, I know I was wrong. Don't lock me into the small Buddhist hall. You are not the one who loves me the most. Is it? Please don’t punish me, I won’t dare again.”

Su Momo brought the people in and didn't move, she felt that Mrs. Ge might go back on her word.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ge said with a gloomy face: "It's because I dote on you too much, that's why you put your nose on the face. I'm teaching you today, and it's for your own good! Su Momo, take her away quickly .”

"Yes." Madam Su knew that Mrs. Ge would not change her mind, she winked at the two wives on the left and right, but the wives didn't say anything, came forward and dragged and hugged the painful Gu Chongzhu away.

Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief, as expected, the old lady taught Gu Chongzhu a hard lesson this time, instead of lightly exposing him as before.

"old lady……"

"Sister Hua, do you want to intercede with the second girl?"

"No, old lady, you have misunderstood. The granddaughter is not pleading for the second sister." Gu Chongzhu repeatedly shamed Gu Chonghua, and Gu Chonghua was also angry. Seeing Gu Chongzhu being punished this time, although she felt sorry for Gu Chongzhu, she also felt that she deserved it.

Therefore, she said softly: "Second sister is usually very arrogant and arrogant. Among the sisters, she is the most arrogant and arrogant. We dare not argue with her. I didn't expect that the more we let her, the more she would push her forward. It's a bit of a nonsense. You taught her today for her own good, to grow her memory, and to save her from going out in the future and embarrassing our Gu family. But you must take care of yourself, don't get angry because of her. "

These words were reasonable, and Mrs. Ge patted her hand in relief: "Good boy, I know your filial piety."

But I thought in my heart that Sister Hua is the most merciful, but she said the same thing today, which shows that the second girl is usually too much.It seems that I am too lenient towards the second room.

She also thought that the second master took care of the property of the farm and swallowed up a lot of it privately. She was angry when he was exposed just a few days ago.

The white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it can't do anything when encountering a problem, but he is very good at cheating and hiding money.Fei Shi shared his nostrils with him, and even kept it from himself all these years.

The niece is also an outsider, so she is not as caring as the children and grandchildren of her own relatives.From now on, she'll have to take care of the second bedroom.

Seeing that Mrs. Ge's face turned cold, she didn't know what she was thinking, so Gu Chonghua and Gu Chongyang offered to leave.

After leaving the An Rong Yuan, Gu Chongyang said: "Thank you for today's matter, big sister. If you hadn't rescued me, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Second sister is a person who speaks nonsense when she opens her mouth. I almost didn't told her."

"How can I help you?" Gu Chonghua said: "It's just telling the truth. She did something wrong today and should have been punished."

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly there was a tacit understanding.

"By the way, since your uncle gave you the brocade, do you have anything else?"

Gu Chongyang was a little surprised, and hurriedly covered it up, saying: "Because it was left over from the selection of embroidery farms, so I don't have many. If my elder sister wants it, I will write to my uncle and ask him to buy some horses." come over."

"Who do you think I am?" Gu Chonghua patted Gu Chongzhu's head lightly: "In your eyes, am I the kind of person who asks for bribes when I do a little favor? I'm for the third sister, she There is no double-sided embroidered veil, if you still have the brocade, you might as well give her one, I think she likes it very much."

Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little guilty, and hurriedly apologized: "I still have a little, I'll send it to the third sister tomorrow. Big sister, it's my fault, I shouldn't think of you that way. It's my fault, please forgive me Little sister, let's go through this."

"You!" Gu Chonghua feigned anger and said, "I'll punish you to embroider a handkerchief for me as a gift for Jiji next year."

Gu Chongyang was afraid of doing embroidery work, and the whole Gu family knew that female celebrities were in a mess.

"My God!" Gu Chongyang exclaimed: "Big sister, your request is too outrageous, then I would rather you not forgive me."

Gu Chonghua stuffed his cold hand into Gu Chongyang's neck: "Well, you are so dishonest, let me see how I punish you."

Gu Chongyang hid while laughing: "Good sister, please forgive me."

The two sisters chased the other and ran away. Their cheerful laughter made people feel that it was not cold anymore.

But the second wife, Fei Shi, trembled angrily when she heard the news that Gu Chongzhu had been imprisoned in the small Buddhist hall: "So, the fourth girl provoked the old lady?"

Nanny Sun paused.

She said so much just now, but the second wife ignored all of them, including Gu Chongzhu who went to sue first, and the second wife also selectively forgot all of them. She only thought that Gu Chongyang had the intention of harming others, but she didn't want her daughter to pick her up. First things first.

However, Nanny Sun knew that her wife had always been very defensive, and it was useless to say it at this time, so she nodded and said, "Yes, it's mainly the Fourth Miss, and the Eldest Miss is also contributing to the flames."

"What you said is very true." The second lady was so angry that her eyes burst into flames: "What is the fourth girl? The old lady has always loved Chongzhu and will never punish Chongzhu just because of her few words. The eldest girl must be in it It’s bad water. I’m going to find my sister-in-law to comment and ask her what kind of daughter she raised, and she actually bullied us Chongzhu together with the people from the fourth room.”

Grandma Sun said in shock: "Second Madam, no. This matter has nothing to do with Da Furen. Besides, it's not good for you to offend Da Furen by going like this. She is the mistress after all."

"Hmph! What happened to being the mistress of the house, the ladies actually attacked each other and bullied the few with the more, which shows that her family is not very good."

The second lady sneered and said: "If I swallow my anger this year, she will think that our second room is easy to bully. Now is not the time when the old man is still alive. The old man has been doing anything wrong in office, lost his position, and even implicated us. She As a wife, you have to bear the responsibility. There is no point in trying to maintain this family, so it is better to divide it."

After hearing this, Nanny Sun knew that her wife wanted to find the eldest lady, on the one hand to find a place for Gu Chongzhu, and on the other hand to prove who is the real mistress of the Hou Mansion.

In the past, when the Eldest Master was still Lord Hou, the second wife, Fei Shi, naturally had to give way to the Eldest Madam, not daring to confront her.

But now that the Eldest Master is dead, the eldest house is gone, and the Elder Madam has no husband to help her, nor does she have the title of Mrs. Hou, the Second Madam is not afraid of her at all.

What's more, it is the second master who manages the general affairs, land property and shops.The second wife felt that the entire Gu family, their second wife contributed the most, and the Gu family had to rely heavily on their second wife.In this situation, it's not that she is afraid of the eldest lady, but that the eldest lady is about to let her go.

"Ma'am, the old lady's heart is still biased towards the elder brother." Sun Nanny reminded: "You must think twice before acting."

"Nowadays, who doesn't rely on the second master for the big and small affairs of the Gu family? Not to mention the elder sister-in-law, even the old lady needs the arm of the second master to get things done." The second lady said arrogantly: "This is the turn of Fengshui. Turn, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi!"

After hearing this, Nanny Sun felt that what the second madam said was reasonable, and quickly flattered her: "Since the second master is in charge of the house, madam should also be in charge of the inner house affairs, but the eldest madam is still unwilling to let go. .”

"My sister-in-law has been the housekeeper for so many years, but she has filled her own pockets, and no one wants to spit out the fat in her mouth. Now, she can't let her go. Now is not the time when the elder is alive. The matter of Chong Zhu being bullied, If she doesn't deal with it properly, I won't obey her!"
