Chapter 33 The Flower of Chang Di
When Zhen Tingyun heard this, he laughed and said, "My mother-in-law is willing to believe my grandmother and me, but it's just that the matter is a big deal, so it's better to make it clear. Since Qiu Si has brought something, I have to worry about it. Grandmother and mother, take a look at it, and your daughter will be innocent."
Pei's heart also wanted to see what happened. Since Zhen Tingyun was handing the steps to the side, he naturally nodded.
After a while, the girl opened the curtain and saw Qiu Si coming in from the outside, holding a slender wooden box in her hand, looking a little cautious.
Seeing it, Zhen Tingyun said first: "I also asked my mother to take a look, so I can know what happened, and give me justice."
Pei shi glanced at her, then reached out and took the box, opened it, and saw that there was a purple jade flute in it. Under the light, the purple jade was shining brightly, and the whole body was flawless. Very. Such a good thing, even Mr. Pei has never seen a few of them, and he was surprised, thinking that it must not be an ordinary person who can send such an object.
However, in front of people now, Mr. Pei didn't read much, and suppressing his surprise, he pretended to be calm and took out the two booklets from under the Yuxiao, and took a look at them. love thing.
It really was what Zhen Tingyun said, it was the teacher who taught and taught, and she thought too much.
In her heart, Mrs. Pei was suspicious of the origin of the teacher Zhen Tingyun, and she felt a bit guilty for her daughter, so she couldn't help but sighed: "I thought too much, I wronged you, and I made my son suffer this for nothing. Aggrieved." He handed the box to Mrs. Zhen and asked her to take a look.
Madam Zhen only knew a few words, so she couldn't read the booklet, but she recognized Jin and Yu. At this moment, she looked at this Zi Yuxiao, her eyes lit up immediately, and she almost reached out to accept it.
It was Zhen Tingyun who was watching from the side. After Mrs. Zhen saw it, she handed it back reluctantly, and said reluctantly, "Since it was given by your husband, then keep it well. Be careful not to lose it."
Zhen Tingyun responded with a crisp voice, took the box from the old lady Zhen's hand like a grab, and carefully put it away.
Seeing that things took a turn for the worse, Zhen Tingyun not only got rid of the suspicion of private exchange, but also added an unidentified powerful master. Zhen Yiyun felt like he was bitten by an ant. He was really regretful and embarrassed, and he lost his wife quite a bit. And the resentment of the soldiers.
However, even the mother-in-law of Pei's confessed her mistake simply and neatly. It is impossible for Zhen Yiyun's sister to stubbornly refuse to admit her mistake. Therefore, Zhen Yiyun had to bow his head, enduring the humiliation in his heart, and apologized in a low voice: "Second sister, it's my fault, I shouldn't be thinking nonsense, and please don't be with me for the sake of the sisters. Forgive me, forgive me for once."
Zhen Tingyun turned around when he heard the sound, and looked at Zhen Yiyun's blushing face with all his leisure, and his tone had a strange meaning: "A sister?"
Zhen Yiyun only felt humiliated beyond words, and his face rose even more red.
However, Zhen Tingyun asked with a half-smile, "eldest sister has wronged me and slandered me for no reason, but does she regard me as a fellow sister?"
In fact, in Zhen Tingyun's heart, Zhen Yiyun in front of her is just a wild ghost who occupies the skin of her eldest sister. How can she be considered a fellow sister? It was Zhen Yiyun who said "sisters", but she was afraid that she didn't consider her the original heroine as her own sister. Instead, she was regarded as a competitor and an enemy from the very beginning, not a so-called sister. .
This time, Zhen Tingyun was also fed up with Zhen Yiyun's piecemeal methods. When he saw the face of the other party, he really felt pantothenic acid in his stomach - it was disgusting. Therefore, she has already made up her mind: this time, she must teach Zhen Yiyun a profound lesson, so that she knows how powerful she is.
Hearing these words, Zhen Yiyun became more and more embarrassed, her face turned red and blue, and she was speechless for a while.
Seeing Zhen Yiyun's rare embarrassment, Zhen Tingyun smiled instead, with two pear eddies on the snow cheeks, red lips, and curved eyebrows when he smiled, his appearance was extraordinarily beautiful and cute. However, what she said at the moment was not cute at all, and even a little bit deliberately hateful: "What if I have to care about it to the end?"
Zhen Yiyun was able to tear the veil on his hands when he heard this abominable tone.
When Zhen Yiyun wanted to come: I was thinking about the family's voice in my heart, but I just said a few more words. In the final analysis, it was Zhen Tingyun who acted recklessly, was entangled with an old man in his twenties and thirties, and did not inform the family in advance. She was worried that her sister was confused and did wrong when she was young, and secretly told her family. Mom and Dad say, what's wrong with this?
Moreover, she has already lowered her head and admitted her mistake, which is enough grievance and humiliation. They are all a family, can't Zhen Tingyun be forgiven and forgive others, and have to hold on to her mistakes and talk non-stop?
Thinking about it, Zhen Yiyun's heart was full of anger and hatred, and he almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and his eyes were burning with fire. Fortunately, she wasn't really stupid, and she knew in her heart that the situation wasn't the time to get angry, so she endured it, so she lowered her eyes to hide the anger in her eyes, and said with tears, "I, I'm also worried that my sister is young and confused, doing things outside. What's wrong, I'm here to sue my mother..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw two clear tears fall from the bottom of her eyes and landed on the ground paved with bluestone bricks. Makes a very small sound.
Like the dewdrops that tremble from the rose stamens, the flowers are in full bloom, and the dew is still fragrant, gentle and pitiful, it is really unbearable.
Seeing it, Pei Shi couldn't bear it: even though she gave birth to both daughters, in terms of appearance, perhaps Zhen Tingyun is more like her. However, only Zhen Yiyun is the rose that she brought up with her own hands, like a rose that she takes care of every day, carefully raised and painstakingly spent. She really couldn't bear to watch this delicate and beautiful rose be destroyed like this.
So, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but persuade him to make peace: "Yeah, Yiyun was kind. This is a bit of a misunderstanding. Sister Ting, you are always sensible and generous, so don't bother with your sister... …”
"Mother's words, my daughter dare not agree." Zhen Tingyun said lightly, "Could it be that my daughter is sensible and generous, just so that she doesn't care about this? Is it to forgive others' 'good intentions'?"
Seeing Zhen Tingyun refuting her words, Mrs. Pei was also a little unhappy: Zhen Yiyun had already admitted her mistake, and she took the initiative to persuade her as a mother. How could this child be so unrelenting? — Whenever Pei sees something unpleasant in Zhen Tingyun, it can always be linked to the mother-in-law of Mrs. Zhen.
Pei's expression was dismayed, and Zhen Tingyun pretended not to see it, but instead asked, "Besides, mother really thinks eldest sister has a good heart? Is it for me?"
Zhen Yiyun bit her lip, her face was pale, and she looked at Zhen Tingyun in disbelief: "Second sister, what do you mean by that? If it wasn't for you, why would I bother with these nostalgic things... I know you doubt me and refuse to Believe me, but, you can't wrong me for being a big sister?!"
Pei also frowned.
"What's the matter now, why does eldest sister have to act like this?" Zhen Tingyun was unmoved, but just sneered, "If you really do it for me and know about me, you should come and ask me first, After asking the reason for the matter, you can make plans, scolding in private, or reporting to your parents. With a clear conscience and evidence, didn’t you kill me wrongly today?!”
Zhen Yiyun: "I, I am also in a hurry. In the end, it is about the reputation of the family, and it must be reported to the mother."
"Yeah," Zhen Tingyun said indifferently, "Speaking of the big sister, there are only two mistakes: one is that she thinks me too badly; As soon as I suspected that I would give and receive it privately, when I suspected that I would give and receive it privately, I turned my head and sued my mother."
"So, if you are like big sister, I don't dare to say 'sisters' to you."
Zhen Tingyun's words were sharper and more straightforward than the last, and they were as sharp as a blade.
It was like peeling off Zhen Yiyun's face in front of everyone.
How could Zhen Yiyun bear this? Tears filled her eyelashes, and her body trembled, as if she could not stand still and was about to fall. She was almost weak and fragile. However, she still couldn't recognize her words, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "Second sister, you misunderstood me."
"Big sister insisted that it was a misunderstanding, so take it as a misunderstanding." Zhen Tingyun said lightly, even ignoring Zhen Yiyun, but went to see Mrs. Pei and suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, big sister must still Did you tell your mother about the carriage? I wonder how the eldest sister told your mother?"
Mr. Pei didn't expect Zhen Tingyun to suddenly mention this, and frowned slightly.
Zhen Tingyun glanced at Zhen Yiyun, who had a pale face and pretended to be pitiful, and said with a smile, "Eldest sister must say that she gave me the carriage, but I don't care about my sisters at all. Instead, I asked her to come back in the Pei family's carriage. Am I right?" Just as Zhen Yiyun was a little cautious, she guessed most of the time when she pretended to be generous and let the carriage.
Mr. Pei couldn't help but say, "What do you say about this at this time?" If this matter was put in the past, Mrs. Pei would definitely have to teach the young girl a lesson - when sisters go out, they should go in and out together and support each other, how can there be Like she makes her own decisions and takes care of herself? It's just that there was a so-called private exchange in front of me. I can't take this into consideration because of the situation. Now it's not easy to talk about this because Mrs. Pei and Zhen Yiyun are at fault.
Zhen Tingyun pursed his lips and smiled, his apricot eyes looked bright, and his words were even more crisp: "I know that my mother always believes in big sister, but what is the explanation of this matter, why don't you call the driver to come up? Do you understand?"
Zhen Yiyun's face was getting paler and colder, and he was sweating coldly on his forehead, looking like he was about to faint.
But Mrs. Pei was already feeling remorse, and tentatively said, "You sisters, I generally believe it. If you have a different view, why don't you talk about it first?"
Hearing this, Zhen Tingyun smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid I don't know, this carriage was given to me by my eldest sister, and she also told me not to go back, saying that she would take Pei's carriage. As a result, As soon as she turned her head, the eldest sister would turn black and white and speak ill of me, I really don't know where I offended her, I actually made her hate it so much, and she never forgot to smear me."
"I, I!" Zhen Yiyun didn't know how to explain, so he could only shake his head and shouted, "I don't! Mother, believe me, I really don't!"
"Is there any? It's not something that I and my eldest sister can tell clearly." Zhen Tingyun flatly interrupted Zhen Yiyun's babbling words, and turned to look at Mrs. Pei, but raised her hand and bowed to Mrs. Pei, solemnly. The matter said, "Mother can call the driver to come and ask clearly every word. Only in this way can I know, my elder sister and I, who has evil intentions, who is full of lies, and who is confounding right and wrong!"
Pei Shi didn't speak, and looked deeply at the two daughters standing in front of him.
After Zhen Tingyun bowed, he straightened up and stood where he was. saw her back straight, standing upright, with a small white and tender face that seemed to have a smile, but her eyes were like paint, and she was looking at Mrs. Pei, as if waiting for Mrs. Pei. Reply.
Zhen Yiyun was pale, full of tears, biting his lip, looking at Pei Shi in fear and worry, like a drowning person holding the last straw.
Mrs. Zhen also seemed to realize something, she didn't make a sound from her seat, as if waiting for Pei's final decision.
For a while, Mr. Pei was also a little embarrassed.
She is a smart person, and she naturally knows that Zhen Tingyun will speak out and open up Zhen Yiyun's unbearable thoughts in front of everyone, just to ask her to punish Zhen Yiyun. Speaking of which, this matter is indeed Zhen Yiyun's fault. To be honest, Zhen Tingyun can't ask for justice.
But... in the end, it is a pearl in the palm of one hand. Although Pei Shi was angry that Zhen Yiyun was not up to his standards, he was unavoidable to be partial. Thinking that Zhen Yiyun's serious talk this time was just a little plan by a girl's family, and it wasn't serious enough to be punished in public, right? What's more, it is now the end of January, the eldest daughter and the wedding ceremony are on the 22nd of the second month, and there are more than half a month left. At this time, the eldest daughter is punished in public. What kind of face does she have in a girl's family?
Thinking of this, Pei Shi secretly sighed, turned his eyes to look at Zhen Yiyun, and scolded coldly, "Speaking of which, what's going on?"
I remembered that I was so hard-hearted in the first place, that I had to gossip and talk, and even took out my own family affairs, broke apart a little bit and broke up with the eldest daughter, but the eldest daughter deserved it well on the face, but she turned her head and was so unsatisfactory! Pei's is a strong one, thinking that this is embarrassing in front of Mrs. Zhen again, it really touched her anger, she stepped up, grabbed her daughter's arm and hit the person on the back twice: "I always tell you, A family of sisters should love each other and support each other. But you are so arrogant, you can't even get a word!"
Zhen Yiyun received several slaps from Pei's back, which was painful and ashamed. She felt that her mother was also blinded by the halo of the heroine. She was angry, wronged and fearful. Tears crackled down and she burst into tears. Her eyes were hazy with tears, and she just muttered "mother" on her mouth. She looked pitiful, and she was almost on the verge of letting go.
Pei slapped a few times. Seeing the eldest daughter cry like this, she felt distressed, but she glanced at the young girl from the corner of her eye, and the other party was still standing there, as if the soles of her feet were taking root, and she didn't mean to dissuade her at all. Pei sighed inwardly, knowing that this little daughter was hard-hearted, and it would be meaningless to fight again, so she raised her hand to wipe her tears, and said to Zhen Tingyun very sadly, "You all have read books. , should also know 'Changdi Zhihua, Ebuweiwei. No one today is like a brother' - how many people in this world can be cast as sisters? But your sister is so ignorant, she can't listen My words. Sister Stop, I just hope you can listen to it and write it down."
Zhen Tingyun waited and waited, but he was just waiting for Mr. Pei to grit his teeth and scolded a few times. He was both angry and funny at the same time - he was angry that he still couldn't see what was going on here; he laughed at Zhen Yiyun again. Being smart, Pei is eccentric.
Mrs. Zhen herself was partial, but she couldn't stand Pei's partiality, so she couldn't help saying, "This girl has bad intentions and slandered her sisters. You can just scold her and beat her a few times?"
Pei's heart was also uncomfortable, but she also had her own reasons, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and wept: "Sister Yi is also at this age, and she will be married in a few days, and she will be a big girl soon. At this time, something is really going to happen in the family. Her child's face is thin, and I'm afraid that she won't be able to see anyone anymore... The fault of not raising her godfather is that my master and I failed to teach her well, so I called this girl. I was obsessed with my mind, and I did these wrong things in a confused way. After all, it's my fault for being a mother, and I didn't do my best..."
Saying that, Mrs. Pei grabbed Zhen Yiyun's arm again, and assured Mrs. Zhen word by word, "Don't worry, old lady, my daughter-in-law will definitely discipline the girl well in the future, and she will never make mistakes again."
Mrs. Zhen wanted to scold again, but Zhen Tingyun, who was watching the play with a cold eye, persuaded him, "Grandmother, let's do it." What's more, there is also the big premise that "it will be time to get married in a few days", and it is estimated that there is no way to impose a heavy penalty.
Madam Zhen was also very angry, but she pity her little granddaughter and got up from her position in a fit of anger.
Then, holding her little granddaughter in her arms, she cried all the way from the main room of the main courtyard: "Oh, oh! My second girl, how can you be so unlucky. Both have parents and mothers. , why did you meet such a eccentric mother?! There is also a vicious and heartless sister, how are you going to live these days!"
With the voice and strength of Mrs. Zhen, when she was in the countryside, she could stand at the door clutching her waist and scold people all day long.
Therefore, her howls were full of energy, and they spread all over the courtyard in one breath.
Zhen Tingyun was coldly hugged by Mrs. Zhen, and before he could react, he was hugged out of the yard like a gust of wind.
She buried her head in Mrs. Zhen's arms, and when she heard the howling, she almost didn't laugh out loud: Pei's reluctance to punish Zhen Yiyun was to save face for Zhen Yiyun, but Mrs. Zhen howled like this, what face does Zhen Yiyun have?
Even Mr. Pei would be embarrassed.
All can say is: Pei Shi and Zhen Yiyun are probably used to eating on the table, and they are used to being elegant. guess they didn't expect someone to directly flip the table!
Hee hee, this is probably because I can't eat at the table, so I just told everyone to be unable to eat!
********
Zhen Tingyun held back his laughter so much that he had to bury his head in Old Lady Zhen's arms, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he pretended to cry.
The grandparents and grandchildren went all the way back to the old lady Zhen's courtyard, and Zhen Tingyun couldn't help laughing just now.
Madam Zhen was still full of anger, seeing her granddaughter in her arms and laughing so hard, she still couldn't get angry, she could only poke her granddaughter's bright forehead with her finger, and said angrily, "I know it depends on your grandmother. joke!"
Zhen Tingyun hurriedly said, "No, no, my grandmother spoke for me and vented my anger. I'm happy."
Having said that, Zhen Tingyun couldn't help laughing again, hugging the old lady Zhen's waist that couldn't be wrapped around her arms, leaning against the person's arms and whispering: "I knew that my grandmother loved me."
Just like a child acting like a spoiled child, Zhen Tingyun rubbed in Madam Zhen's arms, only messing up his temples.
For a time, Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but think of the days when the grandparents and grandchildren cuddled each other when he was a child, and his eyes were a little sore: No matter how old lady Zhen is, she is full of shortcomings and prefers sons to daughters, but she treats herself very well. Most are on her side. Even today, although Madam Zhen knew that Yuan Hui had stolen the horse back then, her identity was suspicious, but she still didn't say a word, and only stood on Zhen Tingyun's side.
Madam Zhen's heart was also rubbed softly by her granddaughter, and she was busy rubbing the top of her granddaughter's hair with her calloused palms, again and again.
After a long while, Mother Zhen just remembered to speak, and lowered her head to ask her granddaughter, "Have you eaten dinner?"
The brewing tears in Zhen Tingyun's eyes were blocked by Mrs. Zhen's words: "Okay, she knows that Mrs. Zhen is not a sensational person, and she can distort the question by talking. However, she really didn't have time to eat dinner today - first, she ate too much cakes and tea at Yuanhui, and when she came back, she felt that it was too early and she wasn't hungry, so she didn't need dinner.
Therefore, Zhen Tingyun raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his eyes, and nodded, "Well, I haven't eaten yet."
The old lady Zhen was just a fool for a while, and asked a question casually, and when she heard her say this, she lost her sadness and patted her granddaughter on the back, humming, "Why don't you say it sooner?" Called Bazhen, "Hurry up, go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of noodles. If you want chicken soup, add more chicken."
Zhen Tingyun just received a slap from Mrs. Zhen, and she felt that Mrs. Zhen's casual hit was much heavier than Mrs. Pei's hitting on Zhen Yiyun. It's just that after listening to Mrs. Zhen's repeated orders, she couldn't help but feel amused again, so she smiled next to Mrs. Zhen: Some people pay more attention, most of them hang the chicken and make clear soup, and then boil it with clear chicken soup. For noodles or cooking, use less chicken. Most of the people in the countryside are greedy for meat, even fat meat is delicious, not to mention chicken?
Mrs. Zhen didn't care whether her granddaughter smiled or not, she just thought about her: "Is there no rice or no face at home? You can be hungry in your own home!"
As she said that, she poked her granddaughter's forehead vigorously with her fingers, and said with hatred for whether iron would become steel: "Are you stupid?"
This strength, this tone, can almost shock people stupid.
Zhen Tingyun was also very good, and quickly shook Mrs. Zhen's arm, and changed the subject coquettishly: "Grandma, can I stay here tonight to sleep?"
Madam Zhen felt that her granddaughter was clinging to her, and she felt very beautiful in her heart, but she still insisted on her mouth: "How old are you now, and you have to sleep next to me?" With a stern face again, he answered with a half push, "Forget it this time, it won't be an example next time!"
Zhen Tingyun blinked his eyes and smiled at Mrs. Zhen, thinking to himself, "Aiya, her grandmother knows how to use idioms!" Great progress!
Compared with Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Tingyun's grandson and grandson, Mr. Pei's head was a headache.
Mrs. Zhen made such a fuss, Pei Shi and Zhen Yiyun lost face.
Zhen Yiyun was naturally the most embarrassing one, she just held on for a while, when she heard Mrs. Zhen's howl, she felt dark in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help it, and immediately fainted. At this time, Mrs. Pei was also feeling ashamed, thinking that she had spent so much time on her eldest daughter, but her daughter was disobedient and caused these things, but she was also ashamed of calling herself a mother...
The more she thought about it, the more she felt suffocated, and she lost her patience with the eldest daughter who was not taught. At this time, when she saw her pale and fainted, she no longer wanted to love and cherish her daughter, so she waved her hand and called the girl. The old woman helped Zhen Yiyun, who had fainted, to go back to the room. Mr. Pei himself paced back to the couch, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and started over the night's events from the beginning.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she also understood that she was in a mess tonight and made a wrong move.
When Father Zhen came back in the evening, Mrs. Pei didn't hide it, but told him about it carefully.
