six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 268

After seeing off Princess Yongjun and others, Mrs. Guangning Hou returned to her yard, her face distorted with anger.

"Madam, please have some tea."

The little maid brought a cup of tea, she took it and took a sip without even thinking about it, but before she could swallow it, she spit it out and slammed the teacup on the little maid's head: "The water is so hot, you don't want to drink it. Do you want to burn Mrs. Ben to death?"

"Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me." The little servant girl had a bloody hole in her forehead, and her body was covered with tea and tea dregs, but she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Come here, take her out and stick her to the twenty boards." Mrs. Guangning Hou glared at the little girl kneeling on the ground with hatred.

"No, ma'am, ma'am, please forgive me." The little maid turned pale when she heard this, and knelt and crawled forward crying, begging, twenty big boards, she will definitely die.

Marquis Guangning's face sank, and just about to explode, Madam Wu immediately yelled at the servants standing beside her: "Are you all dead? Don't get out yet."

"Ma'am, ma'am, please spare me!" the little servant girl begged sharply, but was soon dragged out by two thick women, and after a while, her voice completely disappeared.

Wu Momo took the tea from another servant girl, tested the water temperature on the cup with the back of her hand, and said, "Ma'am, this old slave has tried the water temperature of this tea and is drinking it together. Calm down, why are you so angry?" It's not worth it for a girl to be angry."

"You think I'm angry with that girl? She's not qualified!" Madam Guangning patted the table heavily, and said sharply angrily: "I'm angry with Madam Anqing, what a Jiang Shuyi, it's really a good trick, okay Yakou, don't give me any face, just demolish my stage like this!"

Originally, the chrysanthemum banquet was well organized, and the famous products in the chrysanthemum garden were blooming brilliantly, so many wives envied her, but this Mrs. An Qinghou came to overthrow, and actually stood up for that lowly girl Su Liu in front of everyone.

"It was a good flower viewing feast, but a big joke was made. You wait, I'm afraid that my face will turn yellow from being laughed at tomorrow, so how can I have the face to go out and walk around?" Mrs. Guangning Hou said angrily.

"The same goes for Mrs. Anqinghou. She's just a country girl, so it's worth speaking for her, and she's too shameful." Mother Wu echoed.

"What's the matter, she is just pretending to be a good person, hypocritical benevolence and righteousness, the whole world is a bad person, she is the only one who is virtuous and virtuous, hum!" An Qinghou snorted coldly.

"Ma'am, that matter..."

"Missy is here."

Before Mrs. Guangninghou could speak, the girl came to report, and after a while, Ning Minya hurried into the room.

"Ya'er, why are you here this time?" Facing her daughter, Mrs. Guangning Hou squeezed out a kind smile.

Ning Minya first blessed Mrs. Guangning Hou, and then asked anxiously: "Mother, my daughter heard that Mrs. Luo Yushi left halfway because she was angry, but is that so?"

Mrs. Guangninghou's face froze, she forced a smile and said, "It's the one with the big tongue chewing the root of his tongue in front of you, of course it's not like that."

"Mother, you still have to hide it from me." Ning Minya frowned, and said: "The daughter knows what Mrs. Luo said, and she is clearly angry. Mother is so confused, I said earlier that I should not pay attention to elder brother's business , Who cares who he married, mother, why don't you listen, and now you have offended Mrs. Luo, what's so great about it?"

Mrs. Guangning Hou's face straightened immediately, and she said: "What did you say, kid? I am your elder brother's aunt, what's wrong with making a marriage for him? Then Mrs. Luo is angry by herself, what can I do? Besides, I didn't say I want to marry her, what kind of anger is she?"

She really felt wronged. From the beginning to the end, she didn't really want to find a suitable marriage for Ning Guang, but she couldn't do it. Besides, didn't she make it very clear that she wanted Yao Ruiting to be her daughter-in-law? ?
"Mother." Ning Minya stomped her feet, and said angrily: "No one knows the meaning of this flower feast, except that she didn't mention marrying the Luo family, but who is Mrs. Luo? That's Luo Yushi's wife. Luo Yushi impeached his father, what should we do?"

Ning Minya is really going crazy, mother sometimes has too little brain, who is Mrs. Luo, a Yushi's wife, as long as she goes home and blows a few words of pillow wind, Luo Yushi is so meticulous and upright Those with the Eight Classics, why not say that their family is ignorant of propriety, justice and shame?After all, even if Ning Guang was engaged in private, there was a matchmaker to keep the marriage contract.

Hearing the word impeachment, Mrs. Guangninghou buzzed her head and said with a forced smile, "No way, how could this happen?" That's what she said, but her heart was in a state of turmoil, and she had a faint sense of foreboding .

Ning Minya clicked her tongue, and said: "Mother, you forgot that the fourth son of the Xu family, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had an argument with others because of drinking flower wine, and Luo Yushi also impeached Mr. Xu for his lax discipline. Don't say that big brother is a male with a second marriage!"

Mrs. Guangning Hou's face changed a few times when she heard this, and she said, "Well, how can you blame me? If your father hadn't insisted on holding a flower banquet, would I have done it? I told you Rui Ting My cousin married your elder brother."

"Mother, why do you bother to care about who the elder brother marries? That Su Liu is from a low background, isn't it just right, she will never be able to overwhelm you in the future. You want to fight, cousin Rui Ting is a good lady, but look, now Who is willing to marry her family? You are afraid of being involved. You only care about fighting for that breath, fighting for big brother's ideas, why don't you think about our brothers and sisters?" Ning Minya frowned and said: "Mother, you Do you still want your second brother to come out?"

"This..." Mrs. Guangning Hou's face was quite ugly, and she said in a sly way: "That's so serious, your uncle is not demoted, but just downgraded a few levels."

"Then how many years have passed since this happened? Even those who entered the Hanlin Academy later ranked first, why does my uncle still hold that position? Now even the Jinshi who entered the new department are a level or two higher than my uncle! "Ning Minya said angrily.

"this..."

"Hey, Miss Biao, why are you standing at the door and not going in?"

The mother and daughter were talking, when they suddenly heard the question from the maid outside, their faces suddenly looked a little ugly.

Yao Ruiting was so embarrassed that she had no choice but to bite the bullet and come in. Seeing Mrs. Guangning Hou's face was ugly, she cried out inwardly, but she smiled and said: "I just arrived too, and I didn't come in because I heard my aunt and sister Ya'er talking. .”

Ning Minya didn't start, she had a look of disdain and contempt on her face, anyone who saw her talking behind her back and was caught straight by the person concerned would not look good.

"Oh, what's the matter with you coming here? Why don't you let the girl inform you?" Mrs. Guangning Hou was also a little worried, and asked in a low voice.

"No, I saw that the shoes my aunt said didn't fit my feet. In the past two days, I made two pairs of shoes for my aunt, and I want to send them for you to try." Yao Ruiting opened the package in her hand, revealing two pairs of delicate embroidered shoes.

Mrs. Guangninghou's face turned pale when she saw it, and she said in a gentle voice: "My dear boy, you have a heart, quickly bring it to me to see."

Yao Ruiting timidly glanced at Ning Minya at the side, and was about to step forward when a servant girl's voice came from outside the door: "Ma'am, Master Hou is here."

Mrs. Guangninghou ignored Yao Ruiting after hearing this, and walked up to meet her quickly. When she reached the door, Guangninghou threw the curtain and came in with a dark face.

"master."

"Father."

"Uncle." Everyone saluted.

The Marquis of Guangning came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, seeing so many people in the room, he had no choice but to suppress his anger, hummed, and said: "I have something to say with your mother, you go down."

"Yes." Ning Minya blessed obediently, and went out, Yao Ruiting followed quickly.

When the two of them left the room, they could not help but look at each other when they heard the voice of Marquis Guangning cursing angrily.

"Sister Ya'er, this..." Yao Ruiting looked at Ning Minya worriedly.

Ning Minya snorted, and said coldly: "Father may be in a bad mood these past few days, so if cousin has nothing to do, please don't leave." After saying that, she took her maid and left.

Yao Ruiting looked at Ning Minya's disappearing figure, and heard Marquis Guangning's scolding in the main room, she couldn't help clenching her fists, biting her lips tightly, and said to the maid behind her, "Let's go."

The Marquis of Guangning glared at Mrs. Marquis Guangning angrily, and said angrily: "You still have the face to cry, you can't do a little thing well, you have been in charge of the family for the past two years, and you have returned home more and more."

"What's so strange about me? It was Master Hou who said that he wanted to hold this flower banquet. I said that Rui Ting's child has a good character, and his age is just right for Brother Guang, but you didn't listen." Mrs. Guangning Hou whimpered. .

"Bah! A girl of a seventh-rank official is still hated by the emperor. How can she succeed? You don't raise your pillow and think about it. She is worthy of my son?"

"Yes, Ning Guang is your son who is good at everything, but Hong'er is nothing. I knew earlier that you just looked down on us girls. If I had known this, why did you welcome us into the mansion back then and raise us for the rest of your life?" It's all right outside." Mrs. Guangninghou cried and fell on the couch.

Hearing her cry, Marquis Guangning's head throbbed with pain, and he said angrily: "Crying, crying, what's the use of crying, why don't you hurry up and prepare a generous gift and send it to Luo Yushi's house, are you thinking about me tomorrow?" Can't be impeached?"

Mrs. Guangning Hou cried a bit, and asked with some hesitation: "Could it be that you will really be impeached?"

"Nonsense! Then Luo Yushi has to be impeached for all the sesame and mung bean matters, how can he let this matter go?" Guangning Hou felt extremely headache whenever he thought of Luo Yushi's fair words, and thought that this matter is really true. I'm in a hurry, I don't have anything to do, what kind of flower banquet is there, which girl is my favorite, can't I just go and talk quietly?It's good now, stealing the chicken is not a loss, but the matter has been exposed. Now I just hope that Luo Yushi will keep his mouth tighter after accepting the gift.

But the Marquis of Guangning still underestimated Luo Yushi, he was really right to wear that official uniform, Mrs. Luo went back and told the story, Luo Yushi wrote a note at that time, impeaching Guangning Hou for his bad behavior, knowing that What if the son had a marriage contract and wanted to marry another marriage.

When the Marquis of Guangning learned that Luo Yushi had thrown out the gift he sent, he fainted immediately, scolding Luo Yushi for being old-fashioned and unreasonable. And the young lady is the housekeeper for the time being, so I won't talk about it later.
