poisonous woman

Chapter 23
The next day, when Master Rong was lecturing to Rong Zhao, he specifically talked about Ji Wenzi of the Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and mentioned that he took frugality as the foundation of his life and asked his family to live a frugal life.

"A man named Zhongsun asked him, 'As a high official, you are highly respected. Why don't you allow your wives and concubines to wear silk clothes, and don't feed your horses with grain? Aren't you afraid that all the officials in the country will laugh at you for being stingy? Don't you care? Will it affect Lu's reputation when dealing with princes?'"

Rong Zhao thought so deeply, "That's not true."

Although she didn't know what kind of Ji Wenzi, but the dignified Shangqing lived like a commoner, reluctant to eat and wear, did she want to keep the money and bring it into the coffin?It makes people laugh when you say it, it is really insulting to the country.Rong Zhao thought so.

Lord Rong pursed his lips and shook his head, and then said: "Ji Wenzi replied like this, "Of course I would also like to wear silk clothes and ride a good horse, but I see that there are still many ordinary people in China who eat coarse grains and wear rags. I can't let the elders and sisters all over the country eat poor food and poor clothes, while my wife and children in my family pay too much attention to food and clothing.I only heard that it is the country's greatest honor for people to have high moral character, but I have never heard that showing off one's beautiful concubines and horses will bring glory to the country. "

He paused, staring at Rong Zhao who was frowning, and asked, "We live a life of luxury and good food, but in fact, there are many people who eat rough food, wear shabby clothes, and eat Not enough to eat, suffering from cold and starvation, not even a decent cotton-padded jacket at this time of year. Even, those who starved to death, and those who died of freezing, are too numerous to count.”

Rong Zhao was surprised. Today, her father didn't tell her "The Book of Songs" or "The Analects of Confucius", but "Guoyu" instead?However, there are so many people in "Mandarin" who don't speak it, so they choose this one.

Standing on thrift?Father's words have been around this, what does it mean.

Rong Zhao kept pondering in her heart, raised her hand and touched her head, scratching the tassels around her ears, she suddenly realized her father's intentions.

She said that Mrs. Gao gave her jewelry yesterday as a weasel gave a chicken New Year's greetings. She must have turned black and white and said bad things about her in front of her father, so today her father repeatedly said frugality to remind her.

This woman actually took her together in front of her father, how abominable!She hasn't complained to her father that she embezzled the company's loan sharks without permission!
Lord Rong looked at his daughter's rolling eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, so he knocked on her table and said solemnly: "Did you hear Dad talking?"

"I heard it." Rong Zhao quickly came back to his senses, and his father seemed to be a little strict from the tone of his voice.She looked at Lord Rong with sincerity in her eyes, "Well, what my father said is right. This Ji Wenzi is respectful, thrifty and pure. If he was born in this dynasty, he must be a good official for the people and the country."

Rong Hou Ye showed a look of relief on his face, and it was clearly written on his forehead, "Young children can be taught", thinking that my daughter will benefit a lot from hearing his stories, so I will not mention her willful squandering yesterday.Girls are thin-skinned, and it's time to cry if you talk too deeply.

Rong Zhao said so, but he didn't think so in his heart.Those who died of freezing and starvation have nothing to do with her, and it's not her fault.It's their bad luck and low birth rate, so who can blame them.

Did Ji Wenzi be stupid, thinking that he was the only one who worried about the world?I didn't take good care of my wife and children, and didn't give them a good life. Instead, I worried about some people who didn't get along, thinking that I was so noble.

Everyone wants to cultivate one's morality, cultivate one's character, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world, even if one's family is not healed, how can one still want to bring peace to the world?childish!

Rongzhao didn't go well in this class, she wanted to tell Gao's scandal several times, but she only heard it overheard, and there was no proof.If, on the other hand, Mrs. Gao beat her up and said that she wronged her, wouldn't she be wronged?

When the time comes, Mrs. Gao will take more precautions against her, and maybe take the opportunity to drive a wedge between their father and daughter.

Rong Zhao thought about it, but he still planned to bury this matter in his stomach for the time being, and when the time is right, he will strike again, so as not to let Gao Shi have a chance to turn around.

Returning to Qiwulou, Rongzhao was thinking about how to subtly expose Gao's scandal without exposing himself.She rested her stomach on one hand, and the brush in her hand was writing randomly on the paper, and she didn't know what to write, like a ghost drawing.

"Miss, miss!" Just as he was engrossed, a contrived voice suddenly appeared, Rong Zhao's hand trembled, and the ink dripped onto the rice paper, rendering it colorful.

"Miss, you have to be the master for your servant." Luoxia came to Rong Zhao's side with her hands in her hands.

Rong Zhao looked at her sharply, saw some redness on the back of her hand, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?" Her tone was clearly impatient.

Luo Xia suddenly knelt beside Rong Zhao, and showed her her hand, "Miss, look, the hands of this servant are all burned red."

Looking back at Qiu Shui who followed her in, snorted coldly, and complained again: "My servant saw that today Miss came back from Lord Hou's early, so I want to serve you the soup that has been on the stove. But who knows that Qiu Shui I don't know what kind of evil wind was drawn, so I insisted on competing with the servants to serve it to the young lady. I thought that it was for the young lady anyway, whoever served it would be different, but I didn't think that Qiushui would pour the whole pot of soup on my hands. "

She was very hypocritical, and kept leaning on Rong Zhao, "Miss, look, look, it's all broken."

It's just a little bigger than a copper coin, so it can't be called broken skin.Rong Zhao ignored her, and only asked Qiu Shui, "What's going on?"

Qiu Shui gritted his teeth, did not argue, but knelt down, bowed his head and said, "It was my servant who accidentally spilled the soup on Sister Luoxia's hands, and this servant is willing to be punished."

Luoxia refused to let her go, snorted softly, and said, "You accidentally spilled it, you obviously did it on purpose." She looked at Rongzhao again, and her face suddenly became pitiful, "Miss, you can see that she admits Now, you must make the decision for the servant and severely punish her."

Originally, she was the most proud person around Miss, and Qiu Shui didn't know what kind of ecstasy drug she had used. These days, Miss not only refused to let her serve her personally, but also handed over personal matters to Qiu Shui.How could she swallow this breath, especially yesterday, how could it have been the girl's turn to go out with the young lady before?
"Really?" Rong Zhao asked Xiang Qiushui.In her previous life, Qiushui accompanied her to the end. She knew her character very well and would never trip others up.

Qiu Shui raised his head and stared at Rong Zhao, then lowered his head, neither denying nor admitting.She kept kneading the protruding corner of the skirt with her hands, but she didn't speak.

"Miss, look, if she doesn't speak, she's acquiescing." Seeing that Qiushui didn't speak, Luoxia became even more arrogant, her raised eyebrows were almost uncontrollable, "That's right, there is nothing to say if you do something wrong."

The corners of her mouth kept rising, and she was already secretly happy, this time the young lady will definitely give Qiu Shui a hard time.Hmph, it's better to be lame, let's see if you dare to rob me in the future!
