Little Fuyuan is young, but she knows what it means to be uneasy and kind-hearted when a weasel pays New Year greetings to a chicken.
She didn't know exactly what Xu's plan was, but she knew it wasn't a good one anyway.
He rolled his big eyes and asked Xu innocently: "Madam, I don't want to drink swill."
What the hell are you drinking swill?
Not only Mrs. Xu was confused, but also Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Zhou.
"Who told you to drink the swill, Xiao Yuanbao? Tell me, and my aunt will make the decision for you." Mrs. Zhou vaguely guessed whether Mrs. Xu was angry with Xiao Fuyuan, otherwise Mrs. Zhen would have no reason to be so cold towards the county magistrate's wife. , Xiao Fuyuan will not say these words for no reason.
Xiao Fuyuan said aggrievedly: "Mrs. Liu asked me to drink swill."
Zhou's eyes were like knives thrown at Xu. Although she didn't know what happened yet, she couldn't let Xiao Fuyuan be wronged.
Mrs. Xu couldn't sit still and cried out: "Xiao Yuanbao, when did I let you drink swill?"
As for Fu Nu, her face didn't turn red when she lied, and her heart didn't beat.
Xiao Fuyuan said ignorantly: "The village chief's aunt told me that when I become a concubine, I have to drink swill, and I can only watch you eat meat."
What?
Xu's brain is a little short-circuited.
How come drinking swill is related to being a concubine?
Let alone being a concubine in the Liu family, even being a maid is better than living as a farmer in Shenshu Village.
"Madam, if you give me these gifts, do you want me to go to your house to drink swill? I don't want to drink swill, so I don't want these gifts."
Feng Zhiheng grasped the key point, concubine.
She understood concubines. The Zhongjing Hou Mansion did not allow concubines according to the rules set by her grandfather, but apart from the Feng family, no family in the capital had concubines.
She went to someone else's house to be a guest, and found that her concubine's status was neither above nor below, and she had to set rules in front of her mistress. She was even half-slave and half-servant in front of her own children.
Xiao Fuyuan's description is very appropriate. Isn't it drinking swill?
"How dare you let Xiao Yuanbao be your concubine." Feng Zhiheng's sense of justice was overwhelming.
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she was so angry. What is this and what is it?
I mentioned it once during the Lotus Festival last year. Didn’t she send a satin as an apology?
Why did he bring this matter up again in front of Madam Houfu?
Mrs. Zhen wanted to laugh in her heart, but she didn't expect her daughter to be so clever. She pulled little Fuyuan into her arms and said, "My dearest darling, my family will never let you drink swill."
Zhou has already imagined a big drama in her mind.
When the Liu family saw that Xiao Fuyuan was so handsome and blessed, they used their power to bully others and wanted to take Xiao Fuyuan as their concubine.
The poor child didn't even understand what it meant, so he was bullied.
Okay, Liu Hong is such a good person. Fortunately, her husband-in-law praised Liu Hong for managing Yangfeng County well, but he turned out to be so dirty behind his back.
No matter how old she is, she wants to take a child of the boss as a concubine. This habit is just like the behavior of an animal.
Zhou's heart suddenly melted when she looked at Xiao Fuyuan's pink face and big innocent eyes.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Yuanbao, my aunt will make the decision for you." Mrs. Zhou raised her eyes and then sneered at Mrs. Xu with a cold face.
"Okay, what a good Liu Hong, he actually did such dirty things behind his back. Is this how his parents became officials? I don't think he should become a county magistrate."
Zhou could not wait to immediately send someone to the mountain to supervise the weapons. Feng Rui called down and wrote a memorial on the spot with Liu Hong's reference.
Liu Hong's official career must be completed.
Mrs. Xu was confused by Mrs. Zhou's scolding, how could this be related to her master.
She was panicking. Mr. Liu Hong said that a virtuous wife brings few troubles to her husband. He said that she was spoiled in Bashu and had a arrogant temper. If he didn't restrain himself, sooner or later, his career would be affected by her.
Could it be true?
If Liu Hong was deprived of her official status, not to mention her mighty mother-in-law would tear her to pieces, not even the Xu family would be able to spare her.
Officialdom is all about prosperity and loss, and if Liu Hong cannot recover, the Xu family will also be implicated.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu almost wanted to slide to her knees, relying on the armrests of the chair to support her, and defended herself to Mrs. Zhou: "Madam, please be aware that it was me who proposed Xiao Yuanbao as my concubine, and it has nothing to do with my master at all. "
Mrs. Zhou angrily threw a cup and sneered: "Without his approval, you can give him a concubine. Okay, you two are working together. I have no control over your concubines, but you shouldn't beat Xiao Yuanbao. It’s your idea, not to mention that she is so young, but if she is older, if you ask the servants to carry her in a sedan chair and make her your wife, will Liu Hong be worthy?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xu was confused, Xiao Fuyuan was confused, and Mrs. Zhen was also confused.
Xiao Fuyuan thought for a while and realized that Zhou had made an own mistake.
She thought Liu Hong wanted to take her as his concubine. No wonder, she didn't know that Liu Hong had a son.
When he heard that the Liu family wanted to take Xiao Fuyuan as their concubine, they naturally fell in love with Liu Hong.
Mrs. Xu was wronged and explained with tears in her eyes: "Madam, you are not my master..."
He still dared to defend himself and somehow bullied Xiao Fuyuan behind his back.
Zhou continued to think, got angry, and said: "You still defended him. He did something that was against human ethics. Not only did you not stop him, you also helped him cover it up. You two are really a good couple."
Feng Zhiheng was in line with her mother and yelled angrily: "Shameless! Shameless person."
Xu: "..."
Why is it related to human relations? Mrs. Xu didn't understand what was wrong with an official's son taking a concubine, and why in the eyes of Mr. Zhou, it was a heinous crime.
She was full of grievances. Looking at Zhou's furious face, she was completely frightened and dared not speak.
Liu Shu heard the noise in the house and ran over. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Zhou's voice scolding his mother. He opened the curtain and rushed in and said to Xiao Fuyuan: "I told my mother that I won't let you... Concubine’s.”
Mrs. Xu's eyes darkened, why did this son always do things to add fuel to the fire?
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Xiao Fuyuan tugged on Mrs. Zhou's sleeve and said softly: "Auntie, Mrs. Liu wants me to drink Liu Shu's swill."
Seeing a little boy with a tiger-like head and a tough brain, Mrs. Zhou's mind turned and she understood.
She made a mistake and thought Liu Hong wanted to take Xiao Fuyuan as his concubine.
Let's just say that the county magistrate who was praised by my husband was so nasty.
But Mrs. Zhou would not admit her mistake. She believed from the bottom of her heart that Liu Hong was not strict in running the family, which gave Mrs. Liu the opportunity to take advantage of Xiao Fuyuan.
Even if she takes Xiao Fuyuan as a concubine for her son, that won't work.
She raised her eyelids and looked at Liu Shu, sneering: "You are worthy of mentioning concubines in front of Xiao Yuanbao."
Then he scolded Mrs. Xu: "Bah, your stupid son actually wants to take Xiao Yuanbao as a concubine. It's like a toad trying to eat swan meat."
Liu Shu: "..."
Who is stupid.
In order to calm Zhou's anger, Mrs. Xu echoed: "I was so confused that I mistakenly thought that my Shu'er was a treasure, and that's why I made such a joke. My Shu'er is not worthy of Xiao Yuan Bao. "
Liu Shu: "..."
Zhou's face was cold.
Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and apologized to Mrs. Zhen and Xiao Yuanfu Yifu: "I apologize to Sister Zhen and Xiao Yuanbao. I did not do the right thing at the Lotus Festival last year. I will never have such thoughts again. Please forgive me."
Mrs. Xu shattered her silver teeth. This was the most humiliating day for her since she was a child.
Let her apologize to a peasant woman and a little girl!
Just thinking about it gives me heart attack.
While Mrs. Xu was apologizing to Xiao Fuyuan, Mr. Liu Hongliu was happily trying to take advantage of Xiao Fuyuan.
