After seeing off Princess Yongjun and others, Mrs. Marquis Guangning returned to her courtyard, her face distorted with anger.
"Ma'am, please have some tea."
The little maid brought a cup of tea, and she took it without thinking and took a sip. However, before she could swallow it, she spat it out and slammed the tea cup on the little maid's head: "The water is so hot, you
Do you want to burn this lady to death?"
"Madam, please forgive me, madam, please forgive me." The little maid had a bloody hole in her forehead, blood was flowing freely, and her body was covered with tea residues, but she didn't bother to deal with it, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Come here, take her out and hit twenty big boards with a stick." Mrs. Guangning Hou glared at the little girl kneeling on the ground with hatred.
"No, madam, please spare my life, madam." The little maid turned pale after hearing this. She knelt and crawled forward, crying and begging, "Twenty big boards, she will definitely die."
Marquis Guangning's face sank, and he was about to get angry when Nanny Wu immediately shouted at the servant standing by: "Are you all dead? Why don't you go out?"
"Madam, madam, please spare my life!" the little maid cried sharply, but she was quickly dragged out by two stout women. After a while, the voice completely disappeared.
Aunt Wu took the tea handed over by another maid, tested the water temperature on the cup with the back of her hand, and said: "Madam, I have tried the water temperature of this tea and am drinking it together. Please calm down. Why is this so?"
This girl doesn't deserve to be angry."
"You think I'm angry with that girl? She has no qualifications!" Mrs. Guangninghou slammed the table and said angrily: "I'm angry with Mrs. Anqinghou. What a good trick, Jiang Shuyi."
Yakou, you don’t give me any face, you just destroy me like this!”
Originally, the chrysanthemum banquet was well organized, the famous products of the chrysanthemum garden were in bloom, and many ladies were envious of her. However, Mrs. Anqing Hou came to overthrow her and stood up for that bitch Su Liu in front of everyone.
"It's a nice flower-viewing party, but it's a big joke. Just wait. I'm afraid my face will turn yellow when people laugh at me tomorrow. How can I still have the dignity to go out?" Madam Marquis Guangning said angrily.
"Then the same goes for Mrs. Anqinghou. She is just a country girl. She deserves to be spoken for, but she is not on the stage." Aunt Wu agreed.
"What's the point? She's just pretending to be a good person, benevolent and righteous. Everyone in the world is bad. She's the only one who's virtuous and virtuous. Humph!" Anqing Hou snorted coldly.
"Madam, what about this..."
"The eldest lady is here."
Before Madam Guangning could say anything, the girl came to report. After a while, Ning Minya hurriedly walked into the room.
"Ya'er, why are you here this time?" Facing her daughter, Madam Guangning Hou put on a kind smile.
Ning Minya first blessed Mrs. Guangning Hou, and then asked urgently: "Mother, my daughter heard that Mrs. Luo Yushi left halfway because she was angry, but is that so?"
Mrs. Guangning's face froze, and she forced a smile and said: "It's the one with the big tongue who chews his tongue in front of you. Of course it's not like this."
"Mother, you still want to hide it from me." Ning Minya frowned and said, "My daughter already knows what Mrs. Luo said. She is obviously angry. Mother is so confused. I told her not to pay attention to her elder brother's affairs."
, No matter who he married, why didn’t you listen to me, mother, and now you’ve pissed off Mrs. Luo, what’s the big deal?”
Madam Marquis Guangning's face immediately became elongated, and she said: "What are you kidding about? I am your eldest brother's aunt, what's wrong with doing the marriage for him? What can I do if Madam Luo is angry on her own?"
Besides, I didn’t say I wanted to get married to her, so why is she so angry?”
She really felt that she was wronged. From the beginning to the end, she never really wanted to find a well-matched match for Ning Guang. She just had to do it out of necessity. Moreover, didn't she also make it clear that she wanted Yao Ruiting to be her daughter-in-law?
?
"Mother." Ning Minya stamped her feet and said angrily: "Who doesn't know the meaning of this flower banquet? It just didn't say that she was getting married to the Luo family, but who is Mrs. Luo? That is Luo Yushi's wife. If she comes tomorrow?
Luo Yushi impeached his father, what should we do?"
Ning Minya is really going crazy. Sometimes her mother is too weak-minded. Who is Mrs. Luo? The wife of a censor, she only needs to go home and blow some pillows. Luo censor is so meticulous.
People from the Eight Classics, why don't they say that their family doesn't know etiquette, justice and integrity? After all, even if Ning Guang got engaged in private, there was a matchmaker to maintain the engagement. If the engagement was not broken off, then the engagement would be made again. If it spread out, wouldn't it make people laugh to death?
When she heard the word impeachment, Mrs. Guangning's head buzzed, and she forced a smile and said: "No way, how could this be possible?" She said this, but she was in a state of confusion, with a vague premonition of something ominous.
.
Ning Minya clicked her tongue and said: "Mother, you have forgotten that the fourth son of the Xu family, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had an argument over drinking some flower wine. This Luo Yushi also accused Mr. Xu of being lax in his discipline. What's more,
Don’t talk about the second marriage of the male partner, eldest brother!”
After hearing this, Mrs. Guangning's face changed several times and said: "Well, how can you blame me for this? If your father hadn't insisted on holding a flower banquet, would I have done this? I told you Ruiting
My cousin will marry your eldest brother."
"Mother, why do you care who your eldest brother marries? That Su Liu is from a low background, isn't it just right? He will never be able to defeat you in the future. But you want to fight. Cousin Ruiting is an official lady, which is good, but look, now
Who is willing to get married with her family? I'm afraid of being implicated. You are only focused on fighting for that tone and the eldest brother's ideas, but you don't think about how many of us brothers and sisters are there?" Ning Minya frowned and said, "Mother, you are.
Do you still want your second brother to come forward?"
"This..." Mrs. Guangning Hou looked very ugly and said sternly: "Then it is so serious. Your uncle was not demoted, but was demoted a few levels."
"How many years has it been since this happened? Even though all those who entered the Hanlin Academy later were ranked higher, why did my uncle still hold that position? Nowadays, even the Jinshi who entered the new department are one or two levels higher than my uncle!
"Ning Minya said angrily.
"this..."
"Hey, Miss Cousin, why are you standing at the door and not going in?"
The mother and daughter were talking when they suddenly heard the maid outside ask such a question, and their faces suddenly looked a little ugly.
Yao Ruiting was so embarrassed that she had no choice but to come in. Seeing Madam Guangninghou's face looking ugly, she secretly screamed something bad, but she squeezed a smile and said, "I just arrived, and I heard my aunt and sister Ya'er talking, so I didn't come in."
.”
Ning Minya looked away, with a look of disdain and contempt on her face. Anyone who saw her negotiating with someone behind her back would not look good if she was caught by the person involved.
"Oh, what's the matter with you coming here? Why don't you let me inform you?" Mrs. Guangning Hou was also a little worried and asked quietly.
"No, I said before I met my aunt that the shoes she wore didn't fit her feet. I made two pairs of shoes for my aunt in the past two days and wanted to send them to you for you to try." Yao Ruiting opened the package in her hand, revealing two pairs of exquisite embroidered shoes.
Madam Marquis Guangning's face brightened slightly after seeing it, and her voice was gentle and authentic: "Good boy, you are interested, please bring it to me for a look."
Yao Ruiting glanced at Ning Minya timidly and was about to step forward when the maid's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, the Marquis is here."
After hearing this, Mrs. Guangning Hou ignored Yao Ruiting and hurriedly rushed to greet her. When she reached the door, Guangning Hou opened the curtain and came in with a dark face.
"master."
"Father."
"Uncle." Everyone saluted.
The Marquis of Guangning came to ask for help. Seeing so many people in the room, he had no choice but to suppress his anger. He said humbly and said, "Your mother and I have something to say. You can go down now."
"Yes." Ning Minya bowed obediently and walked out, and Yao Ruiting followed quickly.
As soon as the two of them left the room, they heard Marquis Guangning scolding loudly, and couldn't help but look at each other.
"Sister Ya'er, this..." Yao Ruiting looked at Ning Minya worriedly.
Ning Minya snorted and said coldly: "My father may have been in a bad mood these past two days. Cousin, if nothing happens, please don't leave." After that, she took the maid and left.
Yao Ruiting looked at Ning Minya's retreating figure, and then heard the scolding of Marquis Guangning in the main room. She clenched her fists, bit her lip tightly, and said to the maid behind her: "Let's go."
Marquis Guangning glared at Mrs. Marquis Guangning angrily, and said angrily: "You still have the dignity to cry, but you can't handle even the smallest things. In the past two years, you have been living more and more as the head of the house."
"How can you blame me? It was the Marquis who told me to hold this flower banquet. I said that Ruiting's child has good character and is the right age for Brother Guang, but you didn't listen." Mrs. Guang Ning whined.
.
"Bah! A girl who is a seventh-grade official is still disgusted by the emperor. How can she get ahead? Why don't you put your pillow up and think about it, is she worthy of my son?"
"Yes, Ning Guang is your son who is good at everything, but Hong'er is nothing. I should have known that you just looked down on us girls. If I had known that, how could you have welcomed us into your house and kept us in your house all your life?
It's okay outside." Mrs. Guangning Hou cried and fell on the couch.
Listening to her cry, Marquis Guangning's head throbbed with pain, and he said angrily: "Cry, cry, cry, what's the use of crying? Why don't you prepare a generous gift and send it to Luo Yushi's house as soon as possible? Are you thinking about me tomorrow?"
Can he be impeached?"
Mrs. Guangning burst into tears and asked hesitantly: "Do you really know how to impeach?"
"Nonsense! Then Luo Yushi wants to be impeached for every sesame and mung bean matter. How can he let this matter go?" Marquis Guangning felt a headache whenever he thought of Luo Yushi's fair words. He thought to himself that this matter is really serious.
I'm in a hurry, I have nothing to do, so why not throw a flower banquet? Which girl I have chosen, can't I just go and talk about it quietly? Now it's better, I stole the chicken and lost the rice, but I exposed this matter, now I just have to
I hope Na Luo Yushi will be more strict with his mouth after accepting the gift.
But the Marquis of Guangning still underestimated Luo Yushi, who was really suitable for the official uniform. When Mrs. Luo went back to tell the matter, Luo Yushi wrote a statement at that time, impeaching the Marquis of Guangning for his bad conduct, even though he knew
What if your son still wants to find another marriage even though he is already engaged?
When Marquis Guangning learned that the gift was thrown out by Luo Yushi, he was so angry that he fainted and cursed Luo Yushi for being old-fashioned and unreasonable. He turned around and attacked Mrs. Guangninghou again, and asked Mrs. Xue to
He and the young lady are temporarily housekeepers, so I won’t talk about it later.
