Domineering Silly King and Evil Concubine

Chapter 17
It was already afternoon when the fifth prince and Ning Yun were sent off, and Jing Songyang didn't come back for some reason.

Jing Xi recruited Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Wang, and three other ladies.When they all arrived, Jing Xi uncharacteristically sat in the main seat, while Xu Shi only sat in the lower seat.

No one knows what Jing Xi is going to do, and she has been silent for a long time.

In the silent main hall, only breathing could be heard, Mrs. Xu didn't know why this girl called them suddenly, but she was shocked by her calm and calm demeanor.She swallowed, thinking about when her wife was yelled at by a girl.My heart is clear.

"Miss asked us to come, what's the matter?" Mrs. Xu twisted her handkerchief and looked up at Jing Xi, who was seated above.

She picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and slowly put it on the table. The small sound when the teacup collided with the table was very clear in the quiet room.

Jing Xi glanced at everyone, all of them looked impatient, but because the master said before, everything that the eldest lady wants is up to her.

"I just want to know, when you enter the prime minister's house, can you read "Women's Precepts", "Internal Training" and other books?"

Everyone was surprised, how did she know that there were these books?I don't know what she means?looked at each other.

Seeing that no one made a sound, Jing Xi's eyes fell on Xu Shi, and smiled at her, "Second Madam has been in charge of the family for many years, and she is also an official woman. She must know something about these books. Otherwise, how can Second Madam Will you manage your family properly?"

Her last sentence naturally made Xu feel a little proud.I didn't understand what she meant before, but when it came to housekeeping, Xu smiled and said: "Although a woman has no talent and virtue, she must know the "Women's Precepts" and "Internal Training". Woolen cloth?"

Xu was the daughter of a great general in the previous dynasty, and because she didn't have the Sacred Heart, she fell down.But the books that women should read are also kept in mind.Besides, she is married to the prime minister.

Jing Xi was satisfied with her answer, the smile on her face didn't diminish, and she asked the other two, "I wonder if Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang understand?"

The Zhou family and Wang family nominated by Mo Ming froze, but she was also a woman in the prime minister's mansion anyway, and naturally she was also an exquisite person.They respectfully said to Jing Xi: "I know a little."

Today's young lady is no better than before, they don't dare to be too casual.

Jing Xi nodded, and said to Jing Yu and the others: "Three sisters, you will also marry in the future, and it is good to popularize some female virtues in advance. Otherwise, if something goes wrong by accident, you will be punished, but It’s not worth it.”

As he said that, he looked at Jing Yu specifically, "Especially the second sister, you want to choose the crown princess, and some etiquette cannot be discarded."

Her inexplicable words confused the people in the room even more, even their respective maids couldn't understand.

The more Xu heard it, the more she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell where it was.

"What my sister said is true, but my sister is about to enter the palace, so naturally she should be more concerned." Jing Yu is always unwilling to let Jing Xi gain the upper hand, but it seems that she has the upper hand again and again.

Jing Xi just smiled and said nothing.He turned his eyes to Xu's solemn face again, "Second Madam, do you know if there are humbleness and prudence in "The Commandments for Women" or "Internal Training"?"

Fortunately, in her previous life, she liked to watch Gongdouju when she was free, and she had to know a thing or two about some ancient etiquette.

Xu's face changed, and then he calmed down, "Yes."

"En." Jing Xi just nodded in response, and stopped talking.

Just when everyone couldn't sit still, she said, "Let's not talk about being humble, you guys have done a decent job. But as for prudence, I'm afraid you still can't do it."

Jing Xi, who had always had a peachy face, suddenly had a serious face, and her tone was a bit cold.It actually makes people feel that there is a penetrating coolness in summer.

Xu's face turned pale, and the knuckles of both hands were even a little white.She didn't know what Jing Xi was singing before, but now, she understands.This girl wants to preach about what happened in the morning.

It seems that she has always underestimated this girl.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang also showed understanding on their faces. What Mrs. Xu said this morning should not have been said.It's just that at the time I thought I'd say it, and no one would care, and no one would dare to pick on this thorn. Who knew that the lady would care about it after seeing off the guests.

Seeing Xu's expression, Jing Yu knew what Jing Xi was talking about.

"Sister, what are you talking about? No one will be right. As long as it doesn't hurt the dignity, isn't it fine? Why bother to make trouble!"

Jing Xi glanced sideways at the person who was fighting for her mother, raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Could it be that my sister said in front of the prince and lord today that those words that lose her status and face are not hurtful? It seems that my sister really should Learn to be cautious in your words and deeds."

The slightly mocking tone made Jing Yu very upset, and her face turned red.She glared at Jing Xi angrily, but was powerless to refute.

"The two aunts, do you think that today's matter is inappropriate?"

Looking at the two women watching coldly, Jing Xi did not intend to keep them out of the matter.Sweeping away the seriousness before, he put on a smile that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.It makes people think, is this woman really so pleasant?
The Zhou family and the Wang family thought that they were only here to listen to the lecture, but they did not expect to be brought up.The two looked a little embarrassed. They couldn't answer this question properly.

If it says no, then Jing Xi will definitely catch them now, if it says yes, then Xu will definitely settle the score with them in the future.Now the two of them are like Zhu Bajie who is not human in the mirror.

Seeing that the two were silent, Mrs. Xu glared at them even more.But Jing Xi opened her mouth, "If the two aunts don't say anything, then I will take it as acquiescence."

Regardless of the expressions on the faces of the two of them, Jing Xi's tone changed, "As a housekeeper, Mrs. Xu has lost her morality. She failed to be cautious in her words and deeds in front of the prince and prince, and lost the face of the prime minister. I am now punishing you." You temporarily hand over the power of the housekeeper, and you will be fined with a monthly salary of two months. It is a punishment."

Obviously thin and weak, with a smile on his face, but what he said did not allow anyone to resist.She sat there, not angry and pretentious.

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard that she was going to seize power and pay a monthly salary, the anger that had been contained all the time exploded.She slammed the table and pointed at Jing Xi angrily, "Why do you take away my power? Why do you fine my monthly salary? When will this family be up to you?"

Three questions in a row, as well as her anger, made Jing Xi frowned, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she just glanced at her and looked at other people whose expressions had changed.

"Now you can see that the second lady still doesn't understand dignity."

The understatement made Xu's face turn pale, and Xiao Lian's face also showed anxiety.
