Chapter 453 Conflict
Although she had doubts in her heart, Zheng Yuchai followed obediently.
Her grandmother had taught her before that when there was a "noble person" or "elder" present, she had to follow the order of the "noble person" or "elder". In this case, now she obeys Li Lijun's order and leaves, which is in line with etiquette and in line with her grandmother.
wish, so there is no problem.
But Zheng Yuchai thought there was no problem, but Mrs. Zheng thought it was very problematic.
She couldn't wait to ask the maid to convey the message, so she stopped the person in person: "Although the young lady of the Sui Dynasty is of noble birth, she shouldn't be arrogant and disrespectful, right? How can the young lady speak like this in front of elders?
My grandson who has passed away?!"
Li Lijun stopped and did not look back: "I don't know what etiquette is observed in your family. People who have never met before speak ill of their elders are so polite! I have never punished you, but I am already magnanimous.
Now, you still have the nerve to question me? Don’t think you can act like an elder in front of me just because you are dozens of years older! You say you are my elder, so is your surname Li? Or is your husband’s surname Li?
?!"
Mrs. Zheng is neither surnamed Li nor married to a man surnamed Li. However, the Zheng family in Xingyang is a well-known family, and it is inevitable that a young lady will marry into the Li family, or a descendant will marry Li.
If we really want to talk about the girls in our family one by one, Mrs. Zheng will definitely be able to give it to her.
She earned the title of "elder", but as soon as she heard that people from the Sui Prince's Palace were coming to Da Ci'en Temple to worship Buddha, and that their grandchildren might accompany them, she rushed over here. It was definitely not for the sake of the little lady in the Sui Palace.
It's just a fight for the title of an elder in front of you. There is no meaning in a verbal dispute.
Therefore, she directly ignored the problem and focused on her original purpose: "I heard that several young ladies in the Sui Palace lost their mothers when they were young. It is normal for them to have less education and have looser etiquette. But Princess Pei became older after entering the house, and she didn't even do it.
It would be a failure of her to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother and educate the little ladies well. Such a neglectful mother..."
Before Madam Zheng could finish scolding Princess Pei in an eccentric manner, Li Lijun had already laughed out loud: "How strange! People who make jokes about doting on concubines and destroying wives, and making no distinction between concubines and concubines, have the nerve to say that their etiquette is lax and young.
I have to teach you. One day I will have to ask the aunts and sisters-in-law named Zheng in the clan if they all like to speak in this tone."
If Li Lijun really asked the daughters of the Zheng family in Xingyang who married into the Li Tang clan, Mrs. Zheng would be disgraced in the family! However, no matter how angry she was, she could not refute that it was a rumor and not the truth.
Long before Princess Pei married into the Sui Palace, there was a lot about her ex-husband
The gossip about how she and her former parents-in-law concealed the existence of their concubine and deceived her into marrying her, and forced her to recognize her concubine as their legitimate eldest son, spread among the circles of powerful and powerful families in Chang'an City. Even if everyone gave face to the Zheng family in Xingyang, they rarely spoke openly about it.
I mentioned it in public, but I never stopped criticizing it in private.
The aristocratic family has never had such rules! The aristocratic family observes etiquette, and even the royal family members can look down upon it. They can arbitrarily ridicule the Li family for their moral corruption and lack of respect for human ethics. But now the Zheng family has caused the aristocratic family to be embarrassed in front of the Li family.
How can anyone tolerate losing face?!
Not only the other families with the five surnames and Qi Wang were talking about it, but the Zheng clan was also very angry, thinking that their clan had lost the dignity of the family and the name of their ancestors. Mrs. Zheng thought about how her family had become a family in those few months.
On days when she didn't even dare to go out, she would feel her scalp numb. If it weren't for the fact that she had no other choice, she wouldn't want to bravely travel thousands of miles and go to Chang'an in person.
Now even a little girl dared to talk nonsense in front of her, but she was trembling with anger but speechless.
She could only get angry at her granddaughter: "Fifteenth Mother, why don't you come here quickly?! Do you still remember your last name?! Your grandmother is being humiliated here, and you just watch for nothing?!"
Before Zheng Yuchai could answer, Li Lijun said first: "What do you want her to do? Her mother is humiliated, her grandmother is humiliated, can't she just listen obediently? If you expect her to stand up for her humiliated elders, she will be the first to do so.
It’s time to scold you!”
Mrs. Zheng was shaking even more violently.
The team in front noticed something was wrong at this time and turned around to see what happened. When Zheng Wen saw his grandmother present, his expression suddenly changed and he hurried over.
As soon as he asked, "What happened?" Mrs. Zheng caught him and started yelling at him. She scolded the two brothers and sisters for being unfilial and disloyal. She scolded them for not knowing etiquette and disrespecting their elders. She scolded them for losing their upbringing. They left with their mother.
In the years, she became an unruly wild child... Anyway, she would scold whatever was unpleasant. In the end, she would put the blame on their mother, Princess Pei, and believed that her former daughter-in-law had taught the children of their Zheng family bad things.
Mrs. Zheng scolded her so loudly that even King Sui was alarmed. He and Princess Dou walked back, but not far away they heard Mrs. Zheng's scolding and immediately frowned.
Li Jianrang looked at Zheng Wen worriedly. Zheng Wen lowered his head and listened to his grandmother's scolding. His face turned blue and he felt ashamed. Zheng Yuchai kept crying, her whole body was shaky, and she almost fainted on the spot.
At this time, it was Li Lijun who spoke to King Sui again: "Ah, this woman is so unreasonable. She took the initiative to come over to talk to her son and sister Zheng. She opened her mouth and said that Princess Huo was not good at etiquette, taught her daughter bad, and also treated them Zheng.
The child at home was delayed. He couldn't stand listening and made some retorts for his aunt.
, she said that Er's sisters had lost their mother's discipline since they were young, and their manners were sparse. Er was too lazy to argue with her and pulled Sister Zheng to leave. She didn't allow it and started yelling at her. It was really unethical! Such a shrew is still
Let's get rid of it quickly, so as not to disturb this quiet place of Buddhism."
After hearing this, King Sui felt even more disgusting with Mrs. Zheng. Even if she was the ex-mother-in-law of his daughter-in-law, Princess Pei, she was not an in-law of their Sui Palace. Why did she block the road here and scold their children? Let alone her.
The words insulted Princess Huo.
He snorted coldly, thinking that although his son had also made a joke about spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, at least the legitimate concubine was clearly defined in their family, and there would never be any ridiculous thing about a concubine passing over the legitimate son. This Zheng family themselves had caused a scandal.
Yixiao was generous, but he had the nerve to come up to him and make irresponsible remarks.
He waved his hand directly towards the captain of the personal guard: "How can we allow this shrew to cause such mischief in such a peaceful place in Buddhism?!"
The royal guards immediately went to ask Mrs. Zheng to leave. If she didn't leave, they would take action. The abbot wiped his sweat secretly but said nothing.
How could Mrs. Zheng be willing to leave? She couldn't defeat King Sui, and couldn't control her grandchildren? She opened her mouth and ordered Zheng Wen and Zheng Yuchai: "You just sit back and watch your grandmother be driven away?!"
Zheng Wen gritted his teeth, and Zheng Yuchai was at a loss. Li Lijun glanced at them: "What are you afraid of? If this old woman dares to continue making trouble, she will complain to your mother when she gets home tomorrow. The Pei family has its own way to remove the official positions of the Zheng family's sons and sons-in-law.
Get rid of it. If your mother can't stand it, your uncles will be there too! There is no reason why a son can sit idly by when his own mother is scolded and rude for no reason."
Mrs. Zheng was immediately choked. Li Lijun's threat directly caught her weak point. She was shaking with anger and followed her guards away obediently. She did not dare to say anything unnecessary, but she looked at the Zheng Wen brothers and sisters.
, but full of resentment.
After being disturbed by this, King Sui lost his interest and did not want to continue visiting the temple to enjoy the scenery, so he decided to go to the quiet room to settle down first. Everyone followed him. Li Lijun looked back at the Zheng brothers and sisters, and also left.
Zheng Yuchai looked at her brother with some anxiety: "Brother, does this... really not matter?"
Zheng Wen pursed his lips and said nothing. My grandmother traveled all the way to Beijing, how could she give up after a slight setback? Now she can only walk.
