boudoir

Chapter 171
Although the Qi family usually doesn't speak much, it is difficult to underestimate when they get angry. The two brothers He Tingyu were refuted on the spot and were speechless, while Yuhua blushed and clutched his palms desperately.

He Pusong and Qi Shi exchanged glances, Qi Shi just snorted and ignored it.He Pusong always respected her, seeing that she was unwilling to give in, he kept silent.He Yuli stood up, calmed down and said to Qi: "What the third sibling said is that since she is being punished, she should naturally abide by the rules. Yu'er and his brothers and sisters are ignorant, so don't take it to heart."

Qi Shi snorted and looked away.

Liuli stood behind the beaded curtain, then lifted the curtain and walked out suddenly, looked at Yuhua and said, "I think what Sanjie said is reasonable, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day of the reunion of the two people and the moon, and the eldest lady is still the elder in the family tree." The mistress of the house, she is so close at hand now, it seems a little unreasonable not to let her out."

"You!" Mrs. Qi turned her face suddenly, and shot her eyes like ice.Huanhua watched with trepidation, and hurriedly pulled Liuli's sleeve secretly.Seeing Liuli's voice, Yuhua suddenly felt angry again: "Third aunt is so resolute in opposing my mother's coming out, is it to complain for the old lady, or is it because she is afraid that the middle power in her hand will be taken away?" ?”

When these words came out, it was tantamount to thundering in the crowd. Everyone knew in their hearts why the Qi family objected so much, but no one dared to shake it out in front of their faces. Yuhua, who grew up in a moon-like atmosphere, dared to say this.

Mrs. Qi's face gradually turned livid in the dumbness and astonishment of the crowd, seeing that she was about to walk towards Yuhua, at this time, Madam Wu suddenly stepped forward with a surprised expression, leaned close to her ear and said something, and saw The anger on her face gradually turned into cruelty again, and the coldness in her eyes became a little more serious!She walked up to Yuhua, came up to her, gritted her teeth and said word by word: "What a well-behaved third girl! Is that how you speak in front of elders?"

He Tingyu pulled Yuhua away, bowed his head and said, "Third Aunt calm down, Yu'er is not sensible, please don't—"

"She's not sensible?!" Mrs. Qi interrupted him, squinting at Yuhua, then at the place where He Cunli was standing, then suddenly turned to the old lady and said, "Since she insists on inviting Mrs. Yu out, then I agree. Now, why don't we go to the Buddhist hall together with the old man to invite our eldest lady out?"

No one expected that she would undergo such a big change all of a sudden, not only Yuhua and the others were surprised, but even He Cunli couldn't help frowning!

The old man stroked his beard and said: "Since you agree, then call someone to invite her out, and I don't need to wait to go."

He Yuli also hurriedly said: "Exactly, the cheap nephew is still in the body of a sinner, it is not suitable to work for the third younger siblings and all the masters, let alone work for the old man."

Mrs. Qi twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "It's good for us to invite them all. By the way, let's see if Da Furen is used to living in the Buddhist hall these days. The left and right are going to come out to the palace for a banquet. Today Let's pick her up and have a drink together, so we can talk at the imperial banquet in the future."

He Yu stood up and said, "No need—"

Mrs. Nie interrupted him and said: "That's the reason. If you eat this crab, you may accumulate food. Walking around first is also beneficial to the old man's health."

Liuli walked to the old man's side: "Third Aunt is the mistress of the house anyway, and now she agrees, the old man will take it as a walk, let's go for a walk together."

The old man frowned, folded his hands, and said helplessly, "Okay!"

So Liuli left with the help of the old man.The rest of the gentlemen looked at each other in blank dismay, and had no choice but to follow.Mrs. Qi glanced sideways in the direction of the Buddhist hall, raised her head and sneered.

Yuhua vaguely felt that there was something wrong here, but seeing that everyone had left, she had no choice but to bite her lip and follow.

A group of people came to the entrance of the Buddhist hall in a mighty manner, and several servants in charge of guards rushed up to pay their respects.Mrs. Hu heard the movement and came out to see it, and immediately turned around and ran in frightened.The old master stopped her in a deep voice: "Take her to me!" Next to her, Madam Wu stood up from Mrs. Qi, grabbed her by the collar and brought her back.

The old man reprimanded: "I saw the master, why are you running away!"

Trembling, Mrs. Hu knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Go back, go back to the old man, old slave, this old slave just went in and told the eldest lady..."

"Who asked you to report the letter?!" Mrs. Qi came out and kicked her on the shoulder. "Old lady, who do you think lives in it? Seeing the old lady coming, you dare to report to her! Who asked you to report the letter?"

Hu Pozi covered the place where she was kicked, tears splashed down.

Liuli stood up and walked to her side, and said to Qi: "She is just a doorkeeper. Although the eldest lady doesn't care about the housework, she is the mistress of the eldest house after all. She wants to send a message to let someone know. Can you not listen?"

Mrs. Qi sneered and said: "You can speak for her! Even if the eldest lady is the head of the house, why did she report to the old man in such a hurry when she saw the old man? Could it be that the eldest lady is doing something extraordinary inside? Can't do it?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and seemed to feel that Mrs. Hu's behavior just now was a little unusual.Thinking about it, the small courtyard of the Buddhist hall is isolated from the outside world. The old master said that Mrs. Yu would never come out, and neither could the waiters. In this situation where I have not communicated with outsiders for many years, it is really too much to do something. easy.

"Go in and have a look!"

The old man gave the order in a deep voice, and walked through the door first.

Qi Shi glared at Liuli coldly, and followed into the door.Liuli saw that everyone had entered, so she glanced at Mrs. Hu, who crawled to the door without making a sound, slipped away by the wall.

A group of people went straight through the west side of the Buddhist hall and entered the hallway. When they reached the hallway, they saw a table and chairs in the yard, and a woman in a brocade gown was persistently making tea in a pot there.On the table is a set of two suet white jade cups, and the pot is also made of the same white jade.The old lady heard the commotion in the hallway, without raising her head, she took the lid of the teapot to cover the teapot slowly: "I said, old lady Hu, your hands and feet have become more and more sluggish recently. I just told you to get some good tea in the morning. It's good for you, it's just now—Old, old man!"

The mother-in-law raised her head as she spoke, and when she saw the group of surprised people standing on the steps, her feet trembled like sifting chaff!
The old man stared wide-eyed, strode to the table, took a look at the jade cup, then slammed it on the ground, strode into the room again!
"Old, old man!"

The mother-in-law knelt on the ground and screamed.But it was already too late, there was only a clattering sound, and then Mrs Yu was already screaming!
Liuli glanced at the woman, and followed the old man into the room.He Cunli walked up to the old woman, pointed at her with round eyes, and walked into the room with a flick of his sleeve.

This is a small courtyard with three rooms in a row. The hall in the middle has been set up as a Buddhist hall for the Yu family to receive scriptures. There have been no new incense sticks for several months.

The big room on the left is used as Mrs. Yu's bedroom. Although it is small in size, it has all the facilities inside!Whether it was the embroidered mattress on the Zen bed, the jade wares on the shelf, or the silk and satin stacked in the closet, this extravagance made quite a few of this group feel ashamed.

Everyone held their breath, not knowing what to say.Right now, standing in the room is Mrs. Yu, who is wearing an embroidered silk dress with makeup flowers and five or six emerald gold hairpins on her head. The round table had already been overturned to the ground, and the cups and plates on the ground were scattered, among which were scattered several large crabs, half a imperial concubine chicken, a half-eaten mandarin fish, a pile of steamed soup, and what else? pastry.

"You, you used to think like that!" The old man pointed at her tremblingly, and his body swayed accordingly, "So you've always been against me like this! You are good sons and daughters-in-law! Now she lives better than me. You are still at ease, and you still say that I am unfair to her, and you want to invite her out to rectify her name!"

Facing his fury, no one in the room dared to speak out.Beads of sweat hung on He Cistanli's forehead, and He Jianghong and his brothers couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

"Bring me in the woman who pours tea outside!" The old man pointed outside again, and sat down on a chair next to him.

The woman came in very quickly, and within a short time, her whole body was already drenched with sweat!
"Say, how did these things come in? Where are the meals in this room made!"

The old woman tremblingly said: "Go back, go back to the old man, if it is, this thing was sent in by the old man! These meals are all, and they are all given to me by the old man."

"Is that so!" The old man slammed the table and roared in a thunderous voice.

He Yuli hurriedly stood up, wiped his sweat and said: "Of course not. This is all paid by Mrs. Yu herself. How dare I give her these things, and this food? How could I? - You How dare Diao Nu talk nonsense!" He turned around and kicked the mother-in-law in the chest, as if he wanted to kick her to death.

The mother-in-law wailed: "My lord, spare me!"

"What an old man! You pushed me on me again!" At this moment, Yu Shi was also furious, pointing at him and gritted his teeth, "You didn't say that you locked me up, but you didn't dare to disobey the old man's order. , secretly treat me harshly regardless of the relationship between husband and wife, so you should satisfy me with everything you eat and use? Now it’s me who spends my own money to bribe someone to do this! He Cunli, if you are a man, you can have fun Recognize it!"

She threw herself on He Cunli, grabbed his clothes and shook him desperately. These days, she was bored here, eating well and dressing well. She gained a lot of weight, but her strength was much weaker. She fell to the ground.

"You wicked woman, do you still want to come out!"
