There was a dead silence.
Zhen Qingyin and Zhen Yuanyuan glanced furtively at the tree.
Where is a sparrow?
A naive woman from Sasao fell to her knees, and her trembling cry of injustice broke the dead silence in the courtyard.
"Old lady, take this as a warning! Sister Pomegranate reminded me that the old lady has not been able to sleep well recently and has not allowed the sparrows to chirp, which has disturbed the old lady. The old slave has been chasing sparrows these past few days, and there has never been a sparrow missing on the old lady's tree. !”
The originally dead atmosphere became even more dead.
Zhen Qingyun wasn't scolding Sparrow, so who else could he scold?
It is the second master who is being scolded, and the old lady who is being punished.
Aunt Zhang glared at the woman: "You blind slave, Yangzi, do you have a place to talk? Why don't you get out of here!"
Mrs. Sasao was still shouting that she was wronged, but someone covered her mouth and quickly dragged her away.
Regardless of whether the son is successful or not, the old lady has been honored all her life. She was so angry that her hands were shaking: "She is a slave, what kind of slave are you? A lowly concubine is worthy of yelling and scolding a slave in front of me. Get lost. ! Get out of here, both of you!"
The old lady had never scolded Aunt Zhang so harshly, let alone Zhen Qingyun.
Aunt Zhang's face turned pale and she was filled with regret. She knelt on the ground and walked to the old lady's feet.
She gave the frightened Zhen Qingyun a hard tug.
Zhen Qingyun quickly followed and knelt down.
"Old lady! Qingyun was instigated by that little hoof and made a slip of the tongue. He is not usually like this. You know how filial he is."
I don’t know which one the little hoof refers to.
Zhen Qingyun knew that she had made a big mistake. She was so frightened that she hugged the old lady's legs and cried: "Grandma, grandma, my grandson didn't do it on purpose. It was those two little bitches Zhen Qingyin and Shiliu..."
The old lady's expression changed.
Zhen Shilian slapped Zhen Qingyun in the mouth, raised his foot and kicked him away: "I have no respect for my sister, you are still arrogant in front of the old lady! Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down, after reading the books of sages for so many years, you have read it into the belly of a dog. went!"
Zhen Qingyun's teeth hit her mouth, and her lips were stained with blood on the spot. She burst into tears from the pain.
The old lady's eyes were filled with anger.
After all, it was her precious grandson whom she had loved for many years, and she would habitually feel bad when she saw him injured.
The second master, the pillar of the Zhen family, had the best words. Immediately, three or four women with big muscles and round waists came forward and dragged Zhen Qingyun away, along with Aunt Zhang.
These two guys, without thinking about their own faults, cast their malicious eyes on Zhen Qingyin.
Zhen Qingyin was so "frightened" that she shrank behind her second aunt.
Little Yin patted her hand and whispered: "Good boy, don't be afraid, your second uncle will make the decision for you."
Zhen Qingyin responded in a low voice, pitifully.
Little Yin sighed in her heart.
Qing Yin is a sensible person who doesn't cause trouble. He is good in everything, but he is a bad father like Mr. Tan Shang.
Zhen Shilian said: "You go back first, and I will give the old lady some peace of mind."
The old lady was so humiliated today, she was so embarrassed in front of the younger generation.
Little Yin was about to leave with Sister Zhen Qingyin. The old lady rubbed her buzzing head and suddenly said: "Qingyin stays."
Zhen Qingyin paused and returned obediently.
The old lady turned around and entered the room: "You can come in later."
It means that Zhen Qingyin waits outside to enjoy the cold wind.
"Qing Yin, I will make it clear to your grandmother and I will not let you suffer any injustice." Zhen Shilian whispered to comfort his eldest niece before lifting the curtain and going in.
Zhen Qingyin hummed and Fu Li expressed his gratitude.
She was secretly bored.
Zhen Qingyun was so useless that before she even made any move, he showed up in front of the old lady and was disliked.
Boring!
Aunt Zhang was used to being arrogant and domineering, and she always scolded her servants in front of the old lady. But this time her son severely hurt the old lady's face, and her old tricks no longer worked.
For the mother and son, there are benefits to living. At least they can make the old lady angry.
After all, she is a grandmother. If she does something, it is really unfilial and her second uncle will never allow her.
The system saw the opportunity and encouraged: "If you had hugged the hero's lap earlier, who in the entire Zhen family would dare to look down on you?" Now I won’t stand outside to blow the cold wind. 】
Zhen Qingyin rubbed her hands and breathed heat into her palms.
Through a curtain, she heard the mother and son talking.
Zhen Shilian patted the old lady on the back and sighed: "Mother, that kid Qingyun really needs to be disciplined. If he doesn't discipline him anymore, I'm afraid he will be ruined in the future."
He had wanted to talk about this before, but Zhen Qingyun was only his nephew, not his son.
His mother and eldest brother were very protective and looked after him. His uncle, who lived next to him, interfered in his nephew's upbringing. The eldest brother was the first to refuse.
The old lady was full of sullenness and hesitated: "He is still young..."
"Not young anymore. He is only two years younger than Qingyin and Yuanyuan. Qingyin and Yuanyuan have already begun to look at each other. In two years, it will be his turn. After marrying and having children, he will be an adult. By then, he will be able to survive Do you want to raise the lintel of our Zhen family? To put it more seriously, there are dignitaries everywhere in the capital, and his bad mouth has offended people who shouldn't be offended. When will my son and eldest brother be unable to bear it anymore? "
In the past, the old lady thought that Zhen Qingyun was good at everything, but her temper was a bit grumpy. This morning, she experienced it for herself and realized the power of swearing.
If another slave had scolded Er Er and her like this, she would have been dragged out and beaten to death.
If you think about it carefully, what Lao Er said makes perfect sense.
In front of Tianhuang nobles, what is the difference between them and slaves? Just a little more decent.
The old lady was biased, and she was not a completely confused person. She became angry and looked at her second son hopefully: "Second son, why don't you give him to..."
Zhen Shilian had been on guard against these words and interrupted in a hurry: "Mother! I'm busy all day long. I'm afraid I can't keep an eye on him all the time, so I have to leave it to the servants. He is the only male among the grandchildren of the Zhen family, and the servants don't dare to Wouldn't it be even more harmful to him if he is restrained and used to violate it? Mother, think about it carefully and see if this is the truth. "
The old lady held her forehead: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"It's not easy to correct a person's temper, and you have to take tough measures. It's better to send him to the military camp to temper him for a few years. The military camp is a mixed bag of people, all of them are rough guys. Make him suffer a few losses, and he will be good. .”
The old lady waved her hands: "No, no! How can he endure the hardships of being a soldier? He is a scholar and will take the imperial examination in the future. How can he go to the military camp and hang out with a group of rough guys?"
Zhen Shilian sneered: "It's not that I look down on him. To be honest, he can't even compare to half-assed. Taking the imperial examination? Roasted peanuts are almost the same."
The old lady's anger came from this: "You always blame me for being partial to Qingyun. If you are willing to take a concubine and give birth to a young son, I will not stare at his only seedling, so I will indulge you a little..."
Zhen Shilian's face gradually became ugly.
The old lady was full of complaints and poured them out.
"...Why do I have such a miserable life? I didn't marry a blessed daughter-in-law. It's okay if one of them can't give birth to a son. Neither of them can give birth to a son. Both of them are jealous. Asking you to take a concubine is worse than going to heaven. It’s difficult, I don’t know what kind of favor Xiao Yin has given you..."
