Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 5
Mrs. Zhou picked up the nanmu crutch and pointed it at Zhou Bohai's calf, "For a concubine to yell at his wife, have you read all the books of the sage in your stomach? I'm not dead yet, you want to pamper my concubine." Wife-killing?" Although Zhou Bohai's partiality to Zhou Bohai's armpits, Mrs. Zhou was overwhelmed by a favored concubine when she was young, and she couldn't see a man standing in the way of a concubine.Even if this man is her precious son!
"Mother, calm down!" Through the leather robe and cloak, this crutch did not hurt, but Zhou Bohai's eyebrows and eyes twisted together. "I don't mean that."

"Mother, calm down, the second master is just in a hurry!" Mrs. Zhou gave her face in public, and the second wife perfectly cooperated to put on the appearance of a gentle and gentle virgin.Zhou Bohai hurriedly got off the donkey, "Yes, yes, I'm just in a hurry..."

"With your sister-in-law in charge of general affairs, why are you so anxious?" The middle-aged man sitting at the top asked again.The face similar to Zhou Bohai was expressionless, looking at Zhou Bohai quietly.His expression was like a judge looking at a criminal suspect, his tone was calm without any subjective conclusions, his slender eyes were piercingly cold, and the well-fitting azurite plain right lapel robe seemed to be radiating cold air.

Even if the gloom wasn't aimed at her, Jin Xi who was hiding beside Mrs. Zhou still couldn't help shivering.Her uncle Zhou Boshan's nickname was not for nothing, his face was as cold as iron.

Being an official in the same dynasty, Zhou Bohai had always been afraid of his elder brother who never smiled, so he murmured: "It's not that I don't trust my sister-in-law, it's just..." He secretly took a look at the second lady, hoping that she would come out to make things right.Unexpectedly, the second lady was helping Mrs. Zhou to sit up respectfully, and behind her was a little girl who was two pieces of tofu, and she didn't even look at him from the corner of her eyes.

Taking another look at the weak and beautiful lady lying on the ground, Zhou Bohai shook his heart, "My brother believes that Wan Yun has nothing to do with the disappearance of the sixth girl, brother, please spare her!"

Zhou Boshan scolded: "What nonsense! If a case is judged only by belief, what do you need the law in this world? What do you need the county, the government, the Taiwanese yamen, the Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment?"

Zhou Bohai was speechless at the moment, but Mrs. Zhou, whose ass had just touched the chair, snorted coldly, "I'm a woman who doesn't understand the laws, but I also know that Wan Yun and Wan Xia were chosen by your father back then. , pick out those who serve you. Could it be that you can't even trust your father?"

When the word "filial piety" is moved out, it is comparable to the Five Elements Mountain. What monkey can't hold it back?Jin Xi was speechless secretly. According to the memory left by her small body, she thought that Mrs. Zhou was a person who didn't distinguish between her predecessors and her descendants, and didn't know what was important.But these few words, every sentence sounds like something else, have a deep meaning?Could it be that she was thinking too much?

Zhou Boshan was also thinking too much. He lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhou, bowed his head and said, "Mother's words are too heavy, my son can't bear it!" The head of the family knelt down, and the room No family dares to stand.Hulala suddenly fell to his knees.

"It's good to know! The affairs of the inner courtyard are naturally decided by the women of the inner courtyard. You should go back and rest early!" Mrs. Zhou was very pleased with Zhou Boshan's appearance, and her face softened.Jin Xi wailed.Sure enough, she was thinking too much.It's not that Mrs. Zhou has become smarter, but her habit of speaking is thorny, and she will beat her step-eldest son Zhou Boshan a few words when she gets a chance!

The real power of the inner courtyard is in the hands of the eldest lady, do you really think that you can control the eldest lady?Haven't you heard the term "Yang Feng Yin Yin Violation"?
Jin Xi looked at Mrs. Zhou sadly, undecided for a while whether to remind her in front of everyone, Zhou Bohai had already supported Zhou Boshan to get up.

Patting Zhou Bohai's arm, Zhou Boshan's expression softened, he looked at him with the eyes of a elder brother like a father, and sighed: "The officials are about to evaluate officials, you must always be careful with your words, think carefully and stay alone, and don't let others hold you back." handle."

Zhou Bohai's face turned red all of a sudden, there was a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites a few years ago, and his qualifications to accompany Sheng Jia on tour should be promoted one step further.Thousands of taels of silver were sorted out, and the judge's list of the Ministry of Officials was filled out and he was only waiting for the appointment of the Shangyu, but someone impeached him halfway, saying that he was "a man who kept concubines and concubines, indulged in lewd pleasures, and was not a gentleman".Qinzong immediately approved the four characters of "knowing the etiquette but not keeping" on the notebook.This was already a severe scolding, if Zhou Boshan hadn't dealt with him up and down, not to mention Gao Sheng, he would have been kicked off his horse.

Bringing up the old story again, Zhou Bohai's hand that was going to help Jiu Yiniang froze in mid-air, neither stretched nor retracted.Zhou Boshan looked at him coldly, covered his mouth with his fists and coughed dryly, "You've been running outside for half a night, go back and rest early. Don't be distracted by the affairs of the inner courtyard, get enough energy, and go with me the day after tomorrow." Appreciate the plum blossoms at Zhao Ge's old mansion!"

Although Mr. Zhao Ge has retired, his three sons, two sons-in-law, six nephews and countless disciples are all officials in the court, and his words and deeds are enough to influence the government.The flower viewing party held several times a year by Ge Lao Mansion has become the dream opportunity of countless officials.Zhou Bohai's eyes lit up, these days he was thinking about how to ask his elder brother to take him there, but he didn't expect his elder brother to propose it on his own initiative!
Zhou Bohai had just answered the word 'yes', but the joy between his brows disappeared suddenly. Looking at Jiu Yiniang who was still unconscious on the ground, and Zhou Boshan who was expressionless, he was in a dilemma...

"I don't need you to serve me here, go back and rest! Take care of yourself and go to Zhao Ge's old mansion with your eldest brother, don't embarrass your father!" Although Mrs. Zhou was born in a small landowner's family in the countryside of Huai'an, she has worked for more than ten years Mrs. Tai Fu.Hearing the hidden deep meaning in Zhou Boshan's words, he glared at the hesitant Zhou Bohai, and immediately decided for him.

Years of love is not as good as an opportunity to drill?

Watching Zhou Bohai leave Jiu Yiniang behind and obediently follow Zhou Boshan out of the main room, Jin Xi's hands and feet were cold as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice.Did he know that if he left, he might never see Jiu Yiniang again?

A woman who gave birth to a son for him, and spent years together, is so indifferent to him?
Jin Xi sighed again and again, and then remembered that Zhou Bohai never looked at her and asked her a question from the beginning to the end!If you don't take it to heart, you will run out to find her in the cold?Also alarmed Jing Zhaoyin and Jiucheng soldiers and horses?Listen to why it is so inconsistent!
The Zhou brothers' footsteps gradually faded away, and the eldest lady asked calmly: "Please show me how to deal with the second uncle's Jiu Yiniang."

Mrs. Zhou has lost her previous momentum at this time, and waved her hand irritably, "You are the wife in charge, you can figure it out!"

The eldest lady was also polite, "Turn Jiu Yiniang off the ancestral hall first, and Zhou Xiang's family will beat twenty boards of rice for three months."

Twenty boards can be light or heavy, if you hit lightly, you will be bruised, and if you hit hard, you will be crippled.

Zhou Xiang's family was frightened, and turned their faces to stare at Second Aunt, wishing to bite her to death.If it wasn't for this woman's talkativeness, how could the Da Furen have changed her mind and punished her severely!
A few wives came up and dragged Zhou Xiang's house out, and she remembered to yell when she was dragged into the yard, "Ma'am, please spare me! This slave has figured it out, and this slave has something to say!" The corners of the second madam's eyes twitched. Has quietly followed out.

The eldest lady glanced at the second lady, a sneer flashed in her eyes but she didn't speak, a thin woman guarding the door was already following behind Mammy Xie like a shadow.

Jiu Yiniang was still unconscious, two thick women came up, one hugged her shoulders, the other hugged her legs and lifted them out. Jinxi was in a hurry and couldn't take care of much, so she jumped up from behind the second lady and dragged Jiu Yiniang "Where are you taking Jiu Yiniang? She promised me yesterday that she would teach me how to make pine nut cakes!"

Turning around and looking at Mrs. Zhou helplessly, "It's the kind that my ancestors like to eat most. I'm too stupid to learn it several times but I can't learn it. Lock up Jiu Yiniang, and I won't be able to learn pine nut cakes! My ancestors Let her go!"

Jinxi pursed her small mouth, with tears in her eyes. This aggrieved and pitiful expression immediately softened Madam Zhou's heart, "Good boy, it's better than anything if you come back safely. Grandma is also happy if she doesn't eat pine nut cakes! "

"But... I can't learn it, my sisters will laugh at me!" Knowing that it's useless to be coquettish and cute, Jinxi can't think of other ideas at this time, so she can only take chances, "Why don't the ancestors make Jiu Yiniang Shut up in the firewood room behind the kitchen, let her teach me through the kitchen door?" In this weather, if you are locked in the ancestral hall, you will die, but there is still a chance of life in the firewood room!
There was a flash of hesitation in Mrs. Zhou's eyes, and Jin Xi immediately ran over and shook her arm and said, "The carriage ran wild at that time, if Niu Shuanzhu stopped me, I would have fallen under the carriage, and I would have been trampled to death by the horse." Come back to honor the ancestors. You can’t warm the bed for the ancestors!”

Searching through her limited memory for past clips of courting Mrs. Zhou, Jin Xi risked being suspected by everyone to intercede for Jiu Yiniang.Zhou Boshan and Zhou Bohai reached an agreement, they didn't care about Jiu Yiniang's life, but she couldn't!
"You silly child has a real heart!" Mrs. Zhou was a little moved.Aunt Liu is her distant niece, she was silent when she was alive, but she was really filial to her, food and clothes were better than those prepared by others.It's not like others look down on her from a small family and say one thing in her mouth.This child was raised by Liu's family alone, and he is also a solid eye.After seeing the 24 filial piety pictures, I stripped off my clothes to warm her bed in the cold weather, so she didn't let her suffer in vain!
If it wasn't for her mother's background and that accident...it wouldn't be so unclear...hey!Touching Jinxi's frizzy hair, seeing her tears streaming out like money, Mrs. Zhou's thoughts flew away...

The second lady stepped forward to hold Jin Xi, frowned and said, "No one can change what the eldest aunt has decided. Miss Six, please don't talk too much, and make it difficult for the old lady!"

"Close the firewood room in the backyard first! In the first lunar month, people will be killed, and the ancestors will not live in peace." Mrs. Zhou suddenly regained her senses, and immediately made a final decision.

"It's all up to the mother!" The eldest lady's face was gloomy but she couldn't refute Mrs. Zhou in front of everyone.Jin Xi didn't understand why the second lady wanted to protect Jiu Yiniang, so she secretly gave her a thumbs up.Sure enough, she cried for a long time, not as good as the second wife put a needle in Mrs. Zhou's weakness!
"My maidservant, thank you Madam for your kindness!" Jiu Yiniang was pinched and strangled awake, stood up and kowtowed to Madam Zhou.Jin Xi peeked at Jiu Yiniang, who had a stiff face and no joy or sorrow, and didn't understand how she could be so indifferent when it was a matter of life and death.Without allowing Jinxi to think about it, Mrs. Zhou has ordered someone to send her back to Xuefeng Pavilion.

The second lady returned to her own Jingyu Hall, and the little maid who guarded the room hurriedly brought ginseng and ginger tea.The second lady took the famille rose Fu Lu Shou tea bowl, took two sips, and the warm and mellow ginseng tea entered her stomach, dispelling the coldness in her stomach, and the pores all over her body were pressed tightly.

Knowing that Second Concubine was humiliated and Jiu Concubine was imprisoned, Second Madam was in a good mood at this moment, and the servants in the room also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.The eldest maid, Hongxiao, was sent by the second lady to Xuefeng Pavilion to take care of Jin Xi, and Bi Ling, who usually couldn't get close to her, took the opportunity to help the second lady wash up.

The second lady took off her thick clothes, and put on a homemade soft silk cotton bijia with blue stones and lotus hearts and green edges. She felt lighter and happier in her heart.Bi Ling's unsurprising joke actually made her laugh out loud, and she casually rewarded Bi Ling with an eight-cent-weight magpie, plum-footed silver hairpin.

Xie Momo sneaked in, and Bi Ling and the others retreated tactfully.Mammy Xie warmed her hands on the cauldron, and went forward to rub the shoulders of the second lady, "Don't worry, Madam, Zhou Xiang's family won't talk nonsense." Mo lowered her voice, "Why didn't Madam drop by and get rid of that foxy girl? The second master was in a hurry when she didn't look good. Today is Madam's day, but the second master is staying in the study, so..."

Staying in the study is saving face for her!The second madam gritted her teeth secretly, turned her body sideways, and motioned for Nanny Xie to rub her legs, "I wanted to push the boat along the way, but the more I thought about it, the more it went wrong. The big house kept Zhou Xiang's family in order to get some words out of her mouth, which is fine." It makes sense. But that foxy girl can't get in the way of Da Fang, Da Fang and his wife don't care about face, why are they so determined to get rid of her?"

Xie Momo was a little dumbfounded, "Ma'am, what do you mean there is something wrong with what happened tonight?"

The second lady waved her hand, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, but if the couple really have problems, I don't believe they can stop!"

"Using that vixen as bait?" Xie Mama tentatively asked, seeing that the second madam had acquiesced, she immediately flattered: "It's madam who is so thoughtful! A hundred old slaves can't compare to madam!"

The corners of the second lady's lips are slightly raised. Although this flattery is straightforward, no one wants to listen to good words. "Tell Hong Ling to watch Liu Yatou's every move carefully. I only heard of the stupid ones, but I haven't heard of the smart ones. I want to see how smart she is now!"

There are silly ways to raise a fool, and there are smart ways to raise a smart person!
A little girl whose hair hasn't fully grown yet can make any big waves, those good things will be hers sooner or later!
　Sorry guys, I'm late again!Woo~~~~~~~
