Chapter 20 Challenging
Chapter 20 Looking for trouble
Seeing Shi Niang's ferocious expression, with two balls of fire burning in her dark eyes, and thinking that she had pushed this body to the ground and lost her life, Shi Yi Niang couldn't help but feel frightened. But this time was not the time to retreat.
The more you retreat, the more cowardly others will think you are.
She looked at Shi Niang with a smile: "That's what my mother said. I don't know when I will leave. My sister wants me to take something with me."
.
Shi Niang was startled.
But Eleven Niang didn't dare to push her too hard. If the two of them really got into a fight, no matter who was right or who was wrong, they would always give people the impression of being narrow-minded and sharp-tongued. Otherwise, the two sisters would not be able to slap each other.
No one would take a step back. If the eldest wife knew about it, she would blame Shiniang for her bad temper and even blame herself for not knowing how to deal with these conflicts. Maybe her image in the eldest wife's mind would be greatly reduced.
She took a few steps back in a weak tone and said with a smile: It's rare for my sister to come downstairs, and I don't have anything to entertain here. Last time at the banquet, the fifth sister gave me two packs of the best Xinyang Maojian. My sister knows that I don't know how to drink tea.
Yes, what I drink is cow-chewed peony. Sister, why don't you try it and if you think it's palatable, I'll ask Dongqing to send it to Baizhi.
Shiniang couldn't help but sneer: What's different is that the anger in Xinyang Maojian's eyes is much less.
This person's temper also goes down again and again, and then breaks down again and again. If you can stop her for the first time and are willing to be humble, her anger will naturally lessen.
Eleven Niang looked at her and smiled affectionately, then took off her cloak and handed it to Amber, as if she would never go out to entertain guests again. She then ordered Dongqing to make tea, and asked Binju to use the chinchilla skin one she often used.
Bring a mattress and place it on the stool for Shi Niang to sit on.
Shi Niang's face turned slightly.
Who knows, Amber who took over the cloak rolled her eyes and said with a smile: Miss Eleven, the eldest lady has sent someone to tell you to go, how about I go and tell Sister Coral and tell her to go immediately and let her stay with the eldest lady?
I'll give you a temporary cover in front of you.
Eleven Niang secretly cried out in her heart.
Shi Niang usually doesn't want to hear anyone using the eldest wife to oppress her.
But before she could say her words of scolding Amber, Shi Niang's expression changed and she took a step forward to lift the black round table in her room. The round table was made of red sandalwood and was very heavy. She used her strength twice in a row.
He couldn't even flip it over, so he simply swept his sleeves on the table, and the tea set fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Shiniang's movements were so fast that Hu Hu and others were dumbfounded.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but moan.
The utensils in each room must be registered and changed according to the seasons. The tea set with ten kinds of pastel colors on the table is worth at least ten taels of silver. She has to pay for it.
As soon as this thought flashed, Shi Niang rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards her.
Shi Yi Niang knew that if Shi Niang was hit with this fist, she would have to beat herself half to death like before. Otherwise, Shi Niang would be slapped with such a big hat of no brotherhood and she would not be able to run away. She was just about to lift it up.
Protecting his head with his hands, he glanced at Dongqing's frightened face from the corner of his eyes, and his heart moved.
If I was really beaten, would I not need to go to Yanjing?
For a moment, she suppressed her instinct to protect her head with her hands.
Miss Ten, if you don’t care about yourself, you should always take care of Fourth Aunt.
Amidst Amber's anxious shouts, Dongqing had already pulled Eleven Niang behind her. The curtain swung and Baizhi and Jiuxiang rushed in, holding Eleven Niang to the left and right, so that Eleven Niang could not move.
Dogs, do you still think of me as your master? The veins on Shi Niang’s temples are bulging and her eyes are red, like a beast trapped in a cage. She looks very scary.
Baizhi's expression became even more ugly, and she nodded towards Eleven Niang: Miss Eleven, our young lady is rude, we will come back to excuse you later.
Jiuxiang also nodded apologetically to Shi Niang, and then the two of them dragged Shi Niang away.
Shi Niang struggled while yelling and scolding, and kicked over a small stick on the side with her raised foot. Baizhi and Jiuxiang didn't say a word, and just tried their best to carry Shi Niang out.
Both of them were tall, and Shi Niang was quickly carried out.
You two little whores, what benefit did those little hooves give you? Do you want to help others or not?
Miss Ten, Baizhi's voice is a little frustrated, you don't have to scold, we just don't want to end up like Bitao and Hongtao.
Shi Niang's voice suddenly stopped.
According to the mothers at home, Bitao and Hongtao were beaten half to death and then sold to prostitutes. They had all served Shiniang since childhood.
Miss Ten, just calm down. Baizhi's voice was full of exhaustion. If you make such a fuss, the big lady will look at you and you can move out of that broken wing. Speaking of which, you are also fourteen this year.
I'm so old. Those who married young are already mothers. Why haven't I made any progress?
The sound gradually faded away, and it took a while before the people in Eleven Mother's Room came back to their senses.
Miss, are you okay? Dongqing took Eleven Niang's hand and looked at her up and down a little excitedly. You couldn't avoid it. If this slap hits her, it will definitely break your relationship.
As soon as she finished speaking, the door curtain was opened without warning, and a round face with a smile appeared in everyone's sight: Ouch, what's going on? Miss Eleven has such a big temper.
Mother Xu
Everyone in the room changed their colors slightly, and Dongqing opened her mouth to explain, but Eleven Niang squeezed her hand hard and greeted her with a smile: Mom is such a rare visitor.
Mother Xu rolled her eyes and looked around the room. Then she smiled and blessed the eleventh mother and said: The eldest lady asked me to go to the rooms of the fifth and eleventh ladies to see if there are any
What should I add or subtract? I didn’t expect that Miss Fifth’s place lacked two fine wolf brushes, but your place lacked a set of pastel tea cups. As she spoke, she pursed her lips and smiled.
Eleven Niang also laughed: "Well, please help me remember it and add it to us when the time comes." Then he walked around the broken porcelain on the ground and welcomed her into his bedroom. Mom, come in and have a cup of tea.
Mother Xu followed Eleven Niang into the bedroom without even looking at the baby lying at her feet.
Amber was busy directing Zhu Xiang to serve tea and snacks, while Dongqing led Bin Ju and Qiu Ju to clean up the mess in the banquet area.
Mother Xu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. She listened to the movement at the banquet place and found only a slight rustling sound.
She couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Dongqing and Binju must have seen the guests, so they squatted on the ground and wrapped their hands in handkerchiefs to pick up broken porcelain.
Xu's mother put the tea cup, and Hu Hua hurriedly handed over the account book that she had prepared: "Mom, please take a look."
Then I'm not welcome. Mother Xu smiled, spread the account book on the coffee table aside, then took out a small box from her sleeve, opened it, took out a pair of glasses and looked at it carefully.
Amber couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
This pair of glasses was brought over from Guangdong by the eldest wife’s brother when he was serving as a councilor in Guangdong. Not to mention the Luofu family, this pair is the only one in Yuhang. Unexpectedly, the eldest wife actually gave them to her as a reward.
Mother Xu thought about it, and she couldn't help but feel envious. If you can be like Mother Xu, your life will not be in vain.
Eleven Niang was thinking about Ten Niang.
It is said that when the fourth aunt came back from Fujian, she immediately handed over all the account books in her hand and followed the rules in front of the wife. If Shi Niang hadn't beaten herself, the eldest wife would not have been able to find an excuse to treat her like this.
How could someone so meticulous raise such a reckless and ignorant daughter like Shiniang?
The two of them were silent with their own thoughts. The rustle of Xu's mother flipping through the account books made the room even more quiet.
After a long time, Xu's mother raised her head, smiled, put the glasses into the box, and put them back into her sleeves: As the young lady said, the eldest wife usually rewards you with many things. If it is for daily expenses, there is no need to add anything. Just go to Beijing like this.
, I went to my aunt’s house to celebrate Mrs. Xu’s birthday. By then, the house would be full of wealth and wealth. We couldn’t compare to the royal family, but we couldn’t be too shabby. The eldest wife had already ordered a set of coral tortoiseshell noodles and a set of noodles for Miss Eleven at Lao Jixiang.
Pearl red silver head and face. I looked at the spring clothes that Miss Eleven made a few days ago. They are just right. There is no need to add anything. I just don’t know if there is anything else Miss Eleven would like to add.
Eleven Niang smiled and said: I don’t have anything to add.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu stood up with a smile: In that case, I will go back to the eldest wife.
Eleven Niang stood up to see off the guests: “Mom, please come and take a trip.”
Miss Eleven is always so polite. Mother Xu smiled, said goodbye to Eleven Niang, and went to the eldest lady's place.
The eldest lady was half-leaning on the imperial concubine's couch in the bedroom, looking expressionlessly at the maids who were quietly packing boxes and baskets in the room.
Mother Xu hesitated for a moment.
The eldest lady got up and said, "Follow me."
Mother Xu said yes and went to the banquet area downstairs with the eldest lady.
Why did the two little girls make requests? The eldest lady's eyes were a little cold.
Mother Xu hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "I have looked at the things of the two ladies. You usually reward me a lot. You have made new spring clothes, and there is nothing to add or subtract. In private, Wu
The young lady proposed to buy two good wolf hairs, but it was only fifty taels of silver. Miss Eleven didn't mention anything, but when I went there, I encountered something
What you don't want to say in front of the maid in the house is certainly not an ordinary matter.
The eldest lady said oh, sat up straight, and looked like she was listening.
Mother Xu took two steps forward and lowered her voice: Miss Ten came to Miss Eleven's room to cause trouble and smashed everything in the house. When I entered, I pretended not to know and asked Miss Eleven, "How are you, Miss Eleven?"
Big temper. Miss Eleven avoided answering, Madam, when you first chose Miss Eleven, I was a little unhappy. I felt that she was not as good as Miss Fifth. She has a brother at home. Now it seems that she is really a homebody.
Kindhearted.
