girl strategy

Chapter 48 Clumsy tongue, sue!

After having dinner happily, and talking about the sea, Luo Chuchen hugged the quilt and slept soundly all night!
—not even a dream.

However, Mrs. Pei was not as lucky as her.The one who was cheated was speechless, full of grievances and couldn't express it, Pei Shi undoubtedly suffered from insomnia, staring at the bed curtain with wide-eyed eyes all night, it was really - if she couldn't sleep, she couldn't sleep.

After all, it's noon, and it's no better than the younger ones. The result of a sleepless night until dawn is that Pei's little face is sallow, exhausted, his eyes are red, and his eyes are dark. Really emaciated.

In the early morning, the main hall of Zhuijin Courtyard.

"Let's go, go say hello to the old lady." After taking a bite of the pastry and swallowing it with some tea, Mrs. Pei slowly got up and sighed.

In any case, what needs to be faced will eventually be faced, even if it is delayed.

"Ma'am, use some more!" Looking at the breakfast table that was barely moving, Mama Ma advised.

"No need, I'm not hungry at all!" Pei smiled wryly. She was in a hurry to get angry this day, her throat hurt, and it was uncomfortable to swallow. These greasy and greasy dishes really couldn't be eaten.

"... Then you have to eat as much as you want, you didn't eat much yesterday!" Mama Ma glanced at Mrs. Pei, reached out to pick up the bird's nest porridge, and handed it to her.Seeing her take it with a tired face, she poured it in with her head up as if drinking medicine, and then she was about to go out... Mama Mama stopped her hesitantly, and said hesitantly: "Madam, go and greet the old lady... Shouldn't the fourth girl be with me?"

Luo Chuchen entered the mansion yesterday, and it stands to reason that Mrs. Pei should bring her to visit her grandmother today.

"No!!" Mrs. Pei twitched violently, her face trembling, and she shouted with ferocious eyes: "No!! That's right, I'm going to admit defeat today, but..." Confess in front of the old lady , It's not the same as confessing in front of a concubine! !

"But, if you don't bring it, will the old lady have any objections!" Mother Ma wondered.

"Don't worry about it, I have my own measure." Pei closed her eyes and calmed down. After a while, she said again: "That girl is too treacherous. If you take her there, there may be some troubles. Anyway, it's a win or a loss. It all depends on this day, there is no need to take her with you."

She straightened her sleeves, turned her head to look at her face in the bronze mirror of the dressing table, for many years, even if she looks plain, she has always been glamorous, and she has never been so embarrassed, "Let's go!" The two words were squeezed out between the teeth, and the painful expression on the face could hardly be expressed in words.

"...Yes." Mama Ma replied.Quickly following behind Mrs. Pei, the two of them left the Jinyuan Courtyard with a few maidservants, and went straight to Mrs. Luo's Chunhui Hall.

……

"Girl, they're leaving!" Hugging Xia Li, Dan Qing watched Pei's group walk away from the window, and quickly turned back to report to Luo Chuchen.

"Oh? It's early!" Leaning on the bed, Luo Chuchen glanced lazily with his head tilted, and said indifferently: "It seems that Pei's fire is not small, and he left without even eating breakfast. It's gone!"

"Girl!" When it comes to business, be serious!Dan Qing let out a cry of dissatisfaction, then frowned again and said, "You should also visit the old lady today, why didn't anyone come to say hello?"

Dan Qing was in a hurry, after all, although her girl was taken into the mansion, she hadn't entered the Luo family genealogy yet!

——The ancestral genealogy has no name, which means that her girl is not recognized by the clan.

"What do you think Pei is? A paper tiger that can be broken in one stab? Yesterday we caught her off guard, and you think she can accept her fate? Why don't you break it back!" Luo Chuchen pouted, and entered the house. The road was not easy, and although she was confident that she could handle it, she didn't think that one game would determine the outcome.

——The battle of the female family members in the back house never came to a conclusion. As long as you don't die, there is always a chance to turn around.

"Then what shall we do?" Milu asked anxiously when she heard such movement.

"Wait, we've already made a move, now it's up to Mrs. Pei how to deal with it!" Luo Chuchen squinted his eyes, turned his head and looked out the window.At a glance, he saw the entrance of the courtyard, with a face full of 'dying' expression, carrying a food box to deliver her breakfast, Ma Tianlai walked in the door.

Standing up slowly, she said in a soft voice: "Oh, the breakfast deliverer is here, it's quite early today! Hurry up, put it on the kang table, let's eat." The voice was full of joy.

Isn't this good, at least there is food and clothing, which is considered to open the situation!Luo Chuchen smiled playfully, and told himself in his heart: Take your time, don't worry, it should belong to her, and sooner or later it will belong to her.

……

The courtyard where Mrs. Luo lived was named Chunhui Courtyard, which means "whoever speaks an inch of grass will repay three Chunhui".Chunhui Courtyard is located west of the center of the Hou Mansion, next to Luo Jinwen and Xu's Xihua Courtyard.

This morning, at the beginning of the morning light, Mrs. Luo was old and felt young, and woke up at dawn.

After washing and dressing under the maid's service, after using some soft cakes, a little maid outside raised the curtain to report, "Old lady, the eldest lady has come to greet you!"

"Oh? It's so early." Mrs. Luo squinted her eyes, looked at the big western clock squatting on the west side of the main hall, and found that it was only past six o'clock, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "She married into the mansion so quickly." It's been many years, and it's the first time!"

This doesn't mean that Mrs. Xu is not filial and doesn't come to pay her respects. It's just that Mrs. Xu always sleeps, and usually never shows up before eight o'clock. At this hour...she probably hasn't woken up as usual!

Mrs. Luo was puzzled, but she didn't say anything, she just ordered: "Just say I'm awake, please come in, Madam Luo!"

"Yes!" The little girl bowed her knees and responded, she put down the curtain and went outside to report!
After a while, Mrs. Xu came in gracefully, and when she saw Mrs. Luo, she squatted down and smiled, and said delicately: "Daughter-in-law, please greet mother."

"You don't need to be too polite." When Mrs. Luo saw her daughter-in-law, who was more beautiful than her granddaughters, she felt a toothache for no reason, but fortunately, she got used to it after so many years, so she raised her hand and said, "Sit aside."

"Thank you mother for your generosity." Xu raised her face with a smile like a spring, got up and sat in the upper seat on the left side.

"..." Mrs. Luo, whose eyes hurt a little from the smile, didn't say a word for a moment, but turned her head. After a while, she recovered and asked her, "Why did you come so early today? Why didn't Chu Wei follow?" ?”

The Chu Wei she was asking about was Xu's only daughter, the third girl of Anling Hou Mansion.

——She is also the number one talented woman in the capital who is famous in the Great Jin Kingdom.

"I'm telling my mother, Wei'er asked Mr. Xu to call home yesterday, saying that he was studying some book, but my daughter-in-law didn't understand it, and she hasn't come back yet!" Xu answered proudly.

Luo Chuwei is now studying in Taixue Women's College, which is recognized as the most authoritative place in the entire Great Jin Kingdom, and there are only dozens of female students who enroll every year!
——Every one is a strange woman who is well-known in the capital.

But Luo Chuwei is the most famous among these women, the number one talented woman in the capital, she didn't call it out by herself.

"That's good, Chu Wei is liked by Mr. Xu, this is a good thing! You are young and don't know that Mr. Xu was a famous female master in the Jin Dynasty. She had written books and biographies, and the royal family could invite her into the palace. , taught the princesses knowledge, even the Empress Dowager Pei in the palace used her as a teacher!" Mrs. Luo smiled kindly, and said to her daughter-in-law: "Chu Wei can win everyone's favor, then It's her luck, so don't delay her learning because of some trivial matter."

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law is not so short-sighted." Xu quickly waved her hand, although judging from her experience, it is useless for a girl to learn so many books at home, she might as well learn needlework and housekeeping In the future, it would be good to marry a good family and have a son early, but since both my husband and mother-in-law said it was a good thing, Mrs. Xu didn't say anything.

Anyway, when she went out to socialize, she was also very proud when she heard the lady next to her praise her daughter for her knowledge and promise.

"It's good if you can think like this!" Mrs. Luo nodded, thinking that Xu's words sound nice. In fact, if she and her eldest son hadn't been suppressing her, this girl might have called Chu Wei back to be a school girl. Butler Red!

And what about 'she's not so short-sighted'?Are you kidding?It's been almost 20 years since this man entered the mansion, and he hasn't changed his narrow-mindedness!Mrs. Luo pursed her lips, not very happy in her heart, but her gentle and good temper for many years prevented her from saying anything harsh, so she could only keep a straight face to show that she was disgusted.

For a while, neither of them spoke, and there was no movement in the room. Mrs. Xu was used to Mrs. Luo's indifference to her from time to time, and she didn't care. My heart felt stuffy for a while.

After a lot of trouble, a little maid opened the curtain outside and said in a crisp voice: "Old lady, the third lady is here!"

"Oh? Please come in." Mrs. Luo said hastily.

The third wife, Mrs. Zhou, is the youngest daughter-in-law of Mrs. Luo. She is beautiful and dignified, and she is pure and indisputable. She is the favorite of Mrs. Luo.

"My daughter-in-law greets my mother." Mrs. Zhou was called in, and first blessed the old lady. Then, she looked at Mrs. Xu with a little surprise, and said, "Hi, sister-in-law, you came so early today, you seem to I'm lazy!"

"No, no, I came here so early today because I have something to tell my mother." Mrs. Xu was not used to speaking, and only Mrs. Zhou asked casually as if she was entertaining, and she popped out such a sentence, which completely blocked Zhou's expressionless.

How can people pick up what you said!Zhou roared in his heart.

"Cough, cough, what... Mrs. Xu, what do you want to tell me?" Over there, Mrs. Luo couldn't help reaching out and pressing her forehead, feeling a headache.But the daughter-in-law here has been married for so many years, and she has given birth to several children, and now it is too late to return the goods, so she can only suffer, "Hurry up and talk!" After finishing talking, hurry up and stay with you, old man The wife must lose several years of life! !
Old Madam Luo's eyes were full of patience.

"Oh, that's right... Mother, that's what happened!" Xu was taken aback for a moment, and then she reacted correctly!That's right, she came here today to gossip about Mrs. Pei, so she forgot about it!Regardless of the way Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Zhou looked at her helplessly.Xu clapped her legs secretly, adjusted her anxious expression, and said anxiously: "Mother, it's not good. Yesterday, my daughter-in-law got the news that the eldest daughter outside my second uncle has entered the mansion!"

"I know about this, so you don't need to tell me." Mrs. Luo couldn't hold back her words.

"...No, mother, my daughter-in-law didn't want to talk about this!" Mrs. Xu hurriedly explained, but she didn't dare to say more, so she simply said: "That's what happened. The steward told his daughter-in-law about this."

"Yesterday, after the second uncle's daughter, the fourth girl, was thrown in Baoxia in the courtyard of the second sibling after noon, no one took care of her. She didn't even bring her lunch and dinner. Mother, think about it, now How cold it is, there is no water or charcoal in Baoxia, and I have been hungry for two consecutive meals, how can a young girl's family bear it!"

"... That child is also pitiful. She went to the big kitchen and said she was looking at who could give up the charcoal fire to her, but in the end, the woman who came out of the second sibling's room insulted her very badly. His child... Mother, you know that child's background is not very worthy of the stage, but after all, it is the blood of our Luo family, who can bear the humiliation of people's weakness, that child was crying so hard at that time. Said to go home, come in, fortunately, I was persuaded, otherwise!"

"Now this matter has been spread all over the house, and all the ugly things are said... Mother, you said this... Well, it is definitely not right for the second brother to raise a foreign room. It is right for the second brother and sister to be angry and blame the child. It's just that if you are angry, then don't take him into the mansion, why bother to take people in, and then go through it like this, and say what it will be like when you go out!"

Mrs. Xu secretly observed Mrs. Luo's expression, and found that there was an increasing trend towards the color of 'iron green', so she couldn't help but sighed even more pretentiously: "Mother, my daughter-in-law doesn't mean anything else by saying this, I just want to please Please try to persuade the second sibling that if you don't want to accept the child, just send it back to others. Why do you have to do things like this... We are dignified waiting for the family, and there are rumors that we don't use charcoal for the girl's meals. Go out and socialize!"

"Second brother and sister's temper, you have always known it, it's too fierce, I can't tell her, I'm afraid she will get angry, so I want to ask mother..." The more Xu talked, the more excited he was, and he just wanted to tell Pei. Seriously, there was a loud 'bang' from Mrs. Luo's side, which only made Xu's heart tremble in fright!
"Oh my God, what kind of statement is that!" she screamed, clutching her chest.

"Shut up." Mrs. Luo shouted, kicking away the teacup that she smashed into pieces, she turned her head and shouted to Mrs. Zhou: "Your sister-in-law is telling the truth."

"...Um, mother, my daughter-in-law has heard about this matter, but... maybe there is a misunderstanding somewhere." Zhou's face was hesitant, but the meaning in those words was obviously admitted.

"Okay, what a condescending Pei family, I said with her aggressive temper, how could she accept the second daughter's daughter into the mansion so obediently, so she was waiting here!" Mrs. Luo was successfully captured Mrs. Xu burst into flames and patted the table with her hands. She said angrily, "You're so courageous!"

"Old lady, outside, outside..." It was also a coincidence, at this moment, the little maid who opened the curtain looked terrified, and said in a trembling voice, "Second, Second Madam, please see me."

"Let her in." Standing up abruptly, Mrs. Luo shouted loudly.
