Mother Kong's face was very ugly. She glanced at the four girls with a sneer. Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and her chilling winter gaze swept across them. The four girls couldn't help but shrank, and unconsciously became quiet. They respectfully said
Standing aside, I felt a little apprehensive.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was Mo Lan's slight sobs. While she was scooping up the pear blossoms from crying, she secretly glanced at Aunt Kong, waiting for Auntie Kong to come and ask her about her grievances. Who knew that Auntie Kong didn't know how to express her grievances?
Ignoring her, without saying a word, he sat directly on the front seat and asked the maid to bring four sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstones and four volumes of "Women's Guidelines", and spread them out in front of the four girls one by one.
The girls twisted the handkerchiefs with their fingers and looked at each other in fear. Grandma Kong had a face as cold as ice and no smile at all. She said coldly: "Fifty times for each person. If you can't finish the copy, you won't need to do it."
Come and learn.”
Ru Lan was dissatisfied and was about to open her mouth to argue when she was suddenly glared at by Grandma Kong's majestic and fierce gaze. She shrank back. Hua Lan bit her lip, picked up the pen and started copying. Minglan sighed secretly and also
After copying, only Mo Lan looked at Aunt Kong in disbelief. Her tears stopped flowing and she stood there blankly. Aunt Kong didn't look at them and just scooped up a roll.
After reading the Buddhist scriptures, Mo Lan had no choice but to copy them too.
This copying continued until dusk, when it was time for dinner, Grandma Kong remained motionless, asking the maid to light the lamp, and silently asked the girls to continue copying. Minglan's arms were numb as she had already copied.
Feeling dizzy, I raised my head and looked around at the fellow inmates. They all had Huanglian faces, especially the little girl Ru Lan, who kept stretching her neck to look outside.
There were several maids and ladies waiting outside. They were sent from various places to pick up young ladies for dinner. They had already asked softly several times. The girls were hungry and tired, and they all looked up expectantly. Who knew that Mother Kong
Grandma didn't seem to hear anything, and only asked the little maid to go out and say, "Class is not over yet." The four girls bowed their heads in despair, and Minglan secretly cursed - she is innocent! After a while, Grandma Kong
Grandma looked at the copper clepsydra and told another maid: "Go and ask the master and his wife to bring Aunt Lin over."
At this time, the four girls were all scared, knowing that something was going to get serious. Hua Lan was especially uneasy. Mo Lan also stole a look at Aunt Kong. Ru Lan was most afraid of Sheng Hong, and the brush in her hand started to shake. Minglan was holding
She kept on copying, but also secretly panicked. This situation was a bit like when she was a child and was detained in class when her teacher made a mistake. The head teacher looked fierce and waited for her parents to redeem her. Unexpectedly, she was reborn for a second time, and Minglan enjoyed this again.
The treatment is quite familiar as meeting an old friend in a foreign country.
Not long after, Sheng Hong, his wife and Aunt Lin arrived. The four girls were glanced at by their father's stern eyes, and they all shrank their necks. Aunt Kong stood up and gave up the front seat to Sheng Hong and Wang. Sheng Hong left first.
After that, she sat down with Mr. Wang. Aunt Kong sat upright on the large chair with squirrel backrest next to her. She then brought Aunt Lin a low stool and placed it under her. Aunt Lin bowed slightly and did not sit down.
, just standing aside. Since leaving Wang's place, Minglan hasn't seen Aunt Lin for a long time. She only saw her slender figure, graceful and graceful, wearing a magnolia and green brocade with double embroidery of plum blossoms. She was elegant and beautiful, with a emerald white jade in her hair.
The bells and hairpins jingled softly as they walked around, which was very nice to hear and look at. It compared to the Wang family who was surrounded by pearls and greenery.
"Nie Zhan, what kind of trouble have you gotten into, and you haven't told me yet?!" Sheng Hong knew at a glance that his daughters had caused trouble, and shouted in a low voice, while looking at Aunt Kong apologetically; Wang looked at her two daughters anxiously, But it was inconvenient to say more. Aunt Lin could not hold her breath and stood still with her head lowered. None of the four girls dared to say a word.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Grandma Kong waved her hand. The four little maids around her seemed to be well-trained and moved neatly and neatly. Two went out to separate the maids and women outside a few meters away, and the two held Wei Ruixuan in front of her. The doors and windows of the room were closed, leaving only a few confidants to serve him.
After everything was arranged properly, Grandma Kong smiled at Sheng Hong and said gently: "I have disturbed everyone today. Originally, there was no need to disturb these many people, but since the old lady entrusted me, I did not dare to delay the committee. This disturbed the master and his wife, and since Miss Mo was raised in Aunt Lin's house, she also disturbed Aunt Lin."
Sheng Hong immediately held up his hands and said, "Mommy, please tell me if you have anything to say. It must be these few evildoers who have made grandma angry." After saying that, he went to glare at his daughters. The four girls huddled aside and did not dare to speak.
Grandma Kong shook her head warmly and said softly: "I can't say she's angry. It's just that girls are older and have to distinguish between right and wrong. Yan'er, come here and tell me clearly what happened this afternoon." , a little girl walked out from behind Grandma Kong, walked into the middle, and recounted the quarrel in the afternoon clearly. Although this girl was young, she was articulate and had a clear voice. She made the four girls quarrel say The words were relayed one by one, without deleting or adding a word. When several Lan heard this, they all blushed and were ashamed, and kept silent.
After listening, Mrs. Wang felt that it was a fuss and it was just a quarrel between little sisters. However, Sheng Hong became angrier as she listened. When she finished listening, she slapped the table vigorously and shouted angrily: "You bastards, why don't you kneel down! "
The girls were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down, but were stopped by Aunt Kong, saying: "It's cold, don't freeze the girls' knees." Unexpectedly, Aunt Kong asked the maid to scoop out four pieces of brocade. The velvet futons were placed side by side on the ground, and then they tapped their chins to indicate that they could kneel now; the girls knelt down in a row; Minglan was a novice at kneeling, and her knees were swaying, and Grandma Kong kindly helped her correct them. Potential.
Sheng Hong slapped the case with a bang, and the roar almost shook the roof. He pointed at the girl kneeling below and said: "Evil, evil, you are so ignorant of etiquette and talking nonsense. How are you different from that vulgar village girl? How are you? You have the honor to be a descendant of the Sheng family. Fortunately, you are from a girl's family. If this is his son, he will inevitably fight for the family property in the future. Wouldn't it immediately lead to the disaster of brothers fighting against each other? Forget it, why not beat him to death now?"
After saying that, she went to get the family law. Minglan had never seen the family law. Rulan was ignorant and fearless, but Hua Lan and Mo Lan were so frightened that they started to cry. Wang wanted to ask for mercy, but she saw Sheng Hong was very angry and wringing his hands. She didn't dare to speak, so she opened her eyes to beg Aunt Kong. Aunt Kong smiled and waved her hands and said, "Master, don't be angry. It's not good to just punish them. You have to let them know where they went wrong. I feel sorry for the sisters." Aunty Tutoring, if you are older, you can be considered a half-master, why don't you let me ask them."
Sheng Hong was furious and said apologetically to Aunt Kong: "Mommy's education is first-class. Even if you were a noble person in the palace, you could ask and train me. Besides, there is no harm in asking about these evil obstacles."
Mother Kong glanced at the four kneeling girls and said, "Do you know you are wrong?" Several Lans immediately said they knew they were wrong, and Mother Kong asked again: "Then where is the mistake?" The girls' faces changed and they gritted their teeth. Gritting her teeth, wiping her tears, getting angry, and dumbfounded, Hua Lan bit her lip and said first: "My daughter is wrong. She shouldn't reprimand her sister. She shouldn't cause trouble and make her parents angry and worried. .”
Mrs. Wang didn't know what to do, so she went to see Sheng Hong, who had no expression on her face. Aunt Kong looked at Mo Lan, who was shaking like catkins in the wind. She was obviously scared and sad, and choked up: "Daughter, too." You're wrong, you shouldn't talk back to your sister."
Aunt Kong raised the corner of her mouth slightly, followed by Ru Lan. She was unwilling to give up and just said: "I shouldn't quarrel with my sister."
Finally, it was Minglan's turn. Minglan was really on the verge of crying. She racked her brains and couldn't think of anything. She held it in for a long time, her little face turned red, and she said timidly: "I, I... I really don't know."
Sheng Hong calmed down slightly. He just listened to the little maid retelling what happened. Ming Lan was right no matter how he heard it. She didn't quarrel, started the fight, or fanned the flames. She did give some good advice, but she was also implicated and knelt on the ground. Look at that little man. She looked pitiful and childish, feeling very sympathetic in her heart. She brushed away the sadness of Mo Lan's crying. Thinking of Hua Lan Rulan's sarcastic words, her anger arose again. She pointed at Hua Lan and cursed: "You are the eldest sister, and you are older than them." Much older, I thought you could take care of my little sister and set an example, but I didn't expect you to be so mean and not want to see my sister at all. If you get married in the future, it will also bring shame to our Sheng family!"
Hua Lan was so angry that she dug her fingernails deeply into her palms. She lowered her head stubbornly and did not distinguish a word. Sheng Hong pointed at Ru Lan and cursed: "You don't learn well at a young age. You talk nonsense." Dare you tell me, what do you mean by "who did you learn from others to do dirty things and like to steal other people's things"? Sister Mo is your sister. Is there any younger sister who talks to her sister like this? Looking at my sister crying so hard, I don't know how to let it go. Yi Rang, haven’t I told you about ‘Kong Rong Rang Pear’? It’s an uneducated thing!”
Rulan was already hot-tempered. When she heard this, she immediately retorted: "Do you have to give her anything good first? Last year, my uncle asked someone to bring a piece of fine seed jade to make a jade lock for me. But my fourth sister saw it and she cried. After a pause, she said that she had no biological uncle, so her father gave her the jade! And that time, her father specially brought the Fangtian yellow stone for the eldest brother to use as a seal, but the third brother also intercepted it halfway! Why does my father always You want us to let her? I don’t accept it, I just don’t accept it!”
Sheng Hong's arms couldn't help trembling with anger, and he was about to hit Ru Lan, but was stopped by Wang. She hugged Sheng Hong's arm and cried and begged: "I have such a biased mind, the children made a mistake this time, Aunt Kong." We all treat them equally, but you only scolded the two children I gave birth to. The master hates me, why don't I just beg for help?"
For a moment, the room was in a commotion. Aunt Lin lowered her head and wiped her tears gently. Mo Lan also cried sadly. Aunt Kong glanced at the two of them, her eyes seemed to be mocking, then put down the tea bowl, stood up, and smiled. He said to Sheng Hong: "Master, please don't be angry. This is not a big mistake. It's just that I am on a parenting duty and I have to deal with it. It's not my fault that I made the master and his wife so angry today." .”
Sheng Hong waved his hands repeatedly: "Mommy, if anything, it's because I'm not strict in running the house, and I'm making grandma laugh. Fortunately, grandma and the old lady are old friends, so we are like elders... Well, let's invite grandma. Mom, tell me."
Mother Kong stood at the top and said loudly to the four girls: "Most things in this world cannot be escaped from the truth. I never like to say one thing to my face and say another behind my back, so as to mislead others." Okay, today I will explain it clearly in front of several sisters and your parents. Just now you all said you were wrong, but I don’t think so. Now I’m here to ask.”
The girls were silent, and Mother Kong said again: "Okay, let's start with the reason first. Fourth girl, please raise your head, let me ask you, fifth girl said that you are grabbing the elder girl's head everywhere, and why? Do you agree that I am dragging down the big girl?"
Mo Lan's eyes were filled with tears, and she said sadly: "It's all because of my ignorance. I originally thought that Aunt Kong would rarely come here, and I wanted to learn more, bring honor to my father, and give face to my family, but I didn't expect it." It's all my fault for making my sister and sister unhappy..."
Sheng Hong couldn't bear to hear this. Thinking of Wang's past complaints, he looked at Hua Lan again with dissatisfaction.
