When Qin Liuxi, Wang and the others returned to the Qin Mansion, they went to see Mrs. Qin first to say hello. After all, the old lady was worried.
There was no need for Mrs. Wang to open her mouth. Mrs. Xie, who was suffocating in her heart, was already complaining to Old Mrs. Qin with a face full of indignation. How arrogant and domineering the Zhao family was, and how humiliated and humiliated they were.
"Zhao Tongzhi is just a small fifth-rank official. He got on board with the Meng family and became the Meng family's helper. He is so arrogant that he can step on our faces and crush us. It's really a dog fighting for power, a fox pretending to be a tiger, ah!" Thank you! Shi took a rude breath.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang said: "Second brother and sister, even if he is a fifth-rank official, he is one of the parents of the official. And our Qin family is just a family of criminal officials, and we are just the family members of criminal officials. If the Holy Spirit is merciful and does not pursue us female relatives, that is not the case. It means that we still have the same status as before. Don’t forget, our current status is just that of ordinary people."
Xie's lips murmured: "But it was obviously their fault first."
Wang sighed softly: "Second brother and sister, Dafeng has a distinct class. Don't you still see less of it in Shengjing? Among ordinary people, the nobles are not wrong even if they make mistakes, but the lives of the common people are like ants and grass. You can't win."
When the Qin family was not defeated, the female relatives were walking outside, and ordinary people looked at them with awe and shrinking eyes.
"They bumped into us, but we are fine. We can just take a step back. You chose the curtain theory, but you provoked them for nothing. A fifth-grade official can make us kneel down and apologize. If it were someone else, Your noble lord, how can you and I sit here?" Wang's tone contained a hint of dissatisfaction with Xie's recklessness.
Xie's face changed again and again, and it took a long time before she choked back: "Sister-in-law said that we are humble, but when we were at the city gate just now, you didn't lose any dignity at all, didn't you just confront us head-on?"
"Then I gave in and apologized at the beginning? It was because the Zhao family was aggressive and refused to forgive, so I provoked Zhao Tongzhi in front of everyone. I said it was a prestige, but in fact it was just a fight. They also care about this reputation." Wang Smiling bitterly: "But I think we have completely offended Zhao Tongzhi. Just like just now, if Master Nayu hadn't come to the rescue, we might not be able to escape unscathed. But whether we retreat or not, I don't know how the Zhao family will settle the score."
After hearing the whole story, Mrs. Qin's face became somber. Just when she was about to speak, she started coughing again, spitting out thick phlegm. She spit it out, and pointed at Mrs. No matter what our current situation is, we can just go out and offer incense and we can offend people."
Ms. Xie felt extremely aggrieved and said, "Mother, I can't be more angry."
"If we can't get angry for a moment, it will bring big trouble to our Qin family. Now we are in the old house, all old, weak, women and children. The Zhao family is really going to press us. How can we resist?" Old Mrs. Qin became more and more angry as she thought about it, and coughed again. After a few calls, he said: "Your sister-in-law is right, we are just ordinary people now, how can we compare with officials?"
People don't fight with officials, as even a three-year-old child knows, but this idiot just wants to have a moment of pleasure without thinking about the consequences.
Wang said: "Mother, how about we prepare a gift and send it to the Zhao family to apologize?"
"Ah? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face? I'm afraid they will laugh out loud!" Ms. Xie shouted.
Mrs. Qin was also very worried. With her head bowed like this, how arrogant would the Zhao family be?
Wang said calmly: "It's better than us being unable to move in Li City in the future."
You still have to do it!
The two of them froze.
Don't tell me, it will make you even more worried!
They are now civilians. If the Zhao family really wants to suppress them, it will not be easy to do anything, let alone diplomacy. After all, they have no one to rely on.
Ms. Xie reluctantly said: "That's not the case. We don't move around often. They won't even let us out of the door."
Wang sneered: "Just from what happened today, we know that the Zhao family is small-minded, not to mention that they are the scoundrels of the Meng family. What can they not do to please the Meng family? The second brother and sister said that we will not go out and walk around." , That’s right, women can indeed stay at home all day long, but don’t forget, Qi’er and Chun’er both have to go to school, so they can’t be like women, staying at home and working behind closed doors, right?”
When mentioning her son's future, Mr. Xie's expression changed completely, and even Mrs. Qin became serious.
The Qin family passed down poems and books. Women can make acupuncture at home, but men can't touch these things. They have to study for fame after all.
"Then, we still have to bow our heads." Xie said with a sigh.
Wang glanced at her, half-smiling.
Mrs. Xie's face turned red. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Qin Liuxi had not said a word since entering the house. Now he was still holding tea and studying the pattern of the tea cup like a normal person. She had no idea what the elders were worried about, and she didn't care. Looks like this, I feel very angry.
She didn't dare to get angry with the Wang family, and wouldn't she dare to deal with a junior like Qin Liuxi?
Mrs.
Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Wang both looked over.
Qin Liuxi was named inexplicably. He looked away from the pattern on the teacup and said, "What did the second aunt say?"
"I'm talking about you, right at the city gate, you were so domineering that you used evidence to explain Dafeng's laws. You didn't listen to what your mother just said. We commoners can't compete with the nobles!" Ms. Xie He vented his anger at her and said, "Maybe the Zhao family is thinking about how to deal with us now."
Zhao Jia: You guessed it right! But there is no reward!
Qin Liuxi smiled and said: "You are commoners, but I am a member of Xuanmen, and I have never been afraid of the so-called nobles."
Several people were startled.
Mrs. Xie was almost laughed out of anger when she laughed at her: "I'm afraid you must have eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage to speak so loudly!"
Qin Liuxi's voice was light: "Second aunt, please don't forget that I have lived in Licheng for ten years in a state almost the same as an orphan. But where did I go wrong or was I bullied by someone?"
Xie was stunned and said: "That's because our Qin family is an official family, and your grandfather even sat in the third rank position, so others dare not look down on you."
Qin Liuxi smiled again: "As the saying goes, distant water cannot save a near fire. I really hurt someone. I guess my bones are cold, and you are afraid that you won't be able to find out. Besides, contempt, usually at such a young age like me, Don't those who were sent back to the old house look like those abandoned children in big families? Abandoned children will not be taken seriously. Anyone with some brains will figure it out, right? Second Aunt thinks that they will think that I am a child at a young age. Are you sending me back to my old home because I’m too valued?”
Who is this damn girl?
Xie subconsciously looked at Mrs. Qin, but saw that the latter's face was blue and her lips were pursed tightly.
Wang was a little worried, looked at Qin Liuxi, winked, and said no more.
Qin Liuxi smiled lightly: "Look, in this situation, I have been able to live peacefully for ten years. Do I really rely on the protection of the Qin family, or do I rely on myself? If the Zhao family dares to attack, then... Just give it a try.”
Policies change from time to time, even more so!
The old rule is to update 4,000 words a day after it is released (Zhamo is middle-aged, his hand speed has been deteriorating all year round, and his ability to organize words and code is very slow). If there are more updates in the early stage of the release, there is no doubt that Zhamo is trying to gain popularity. If you wish, If you want to send Sister Xi on a flower walk, just give her a ticket and so on!
We hope that updates will continue as steadily as before. If something happens and we are unable to update, we will inform you in advance. If there is no notification, it may cause big problems, such as me becoming the second captain!
Thank you for the above!
