Chapter 19：

"Mother, my daughter has something to say." Shao Shang is rarely serious. Cheng Shao Gong's heart jumped for no reason, and he intuitively told him that making this twin sister open her mouth would be a big deal.

Mrs. Xiao said: "Speak."

Shao Shang smiled in his heart, turned his body slightly, and said, "Lianfang, come here. Do you know where you are wrong?"

The lotus room rolled over and cried, "...Yes, it's the slaves who make their own decisions..."

"Actually, I like to make my own decisions." Shaoshang laughed, and everyone in the hall was stunned. Mrs. Xiao was disgusted in her heart, and she disliked this kind of slickness the most in her life.

"To make an opinion, it depends on what you make. Those who only listen to one sentence and do one sentence are not wood." Shaoshang continued to talk leisurely, according to the saying of her time, this is called Subjectivity. But the lotus room was already dumbfounded.

"For example, I asked you to go to Dongshi to buy fermented bean sauce..."

Cheng Shaogong couldn't help: "Dongshi doesn't sell tempeh sauce."

"Young Palace!"

"Shut up!"

—Mrs. Xiao and Cheng Yong scolded in unison! Sang wanted to laugh, but tried to hold back.

& nbsp; Good soy sauce, even as San Gongzi said, you found that there is no soy sauce in Dongshi, so why don't you come back to me with an empty jar? This can't be done, you have to find another place to buy it. You can make your own decisions. Can you make up your own mind? You can’t buy the sauce, you can’t use glutinous rice to prevaricate me, you can’t give half a bottle of my sauce to others, and you can’t decide whether I need to buy fermented bean sauce. Do you understand?” Press her In that era, it was called exerting subjective initiative.

Sang Shi’s sleeves arched his face, and he smiled lowly. Mrs. Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth, holding back her displeasure; Mrs. Qing Li tried her best to flatten the corners of her mouth, and knelt down behind Mrs. Xiao to take care of her.

Cheng Cha is also stupid, her mind is full of 'douchi sauce', and she still doesn't understand Shaoshang's words; Changpu continues to bow her head and pretend to be stupid, but Mother Fu's face is not very good-looking. The three brothers Cheng Yong on the opposite side had some smiles.

Lianfang was grateful, her forehead slammed on the floor, and Shaoshang quickly stopped her, patted her on the shoulder and smiled: "I like smart people. However, what do you need to learn? When to be smart, and when not to be smart. Go back to Aunt Qing and take the punishment yourself. I have never punished anyone, and I don’t know how to punish them properly.”

Little girls who haven't graduated from junior high school have not enough experience. Shaoshang waved to her to step back, and the lotus room sobbed and knelt down to the porch before leaving. Shaoshang turned around and beckoned behind Cheng Cha: "Changpu, come here. I have something to ask you."

The three brothers were not happy. Although they are young, they have been trained by their parents since childhood. They have seen brutal murderers, tried tricky and meticulous works, and even passed by for their father while preparing for the army. How can a maid who can create such a big storm be simple, why bother to pretend. In addition to that Fu's mother, one was bold and eloquent, and the other pretended to be stupid, and the Ge family sent a pair of good helpers.

—If they can't even see this pretense, they will be blinded by Mrs. Xiao's more than ten years of training!

"Acorus, I'm here to ask you." Shao Shang smiled and said, "Lianfang sees that cousin is not there, and is about to come back with a book case. You stopped her. But Lianfang brought several health maids. , you alone can't stop them, so you called a dozen little sisters to surround them. At that time, what did you say to your little sisters? It was to say, 'Don't ask them to give the eldest son to you. Four Niangzi's book case moved away', or 'they want to rob our daughter-in-law's book case, stop them quickly'."

Mother Fu's heart sank, and she secretly called 'it's amazing', and in one sentence asked where the joints were.

"I, I..." Calamus didn't pretend to be stupid this time, she really didn't know how to answer.

If someone came out and shouted 'misunderstanding', wouldn't everything be gone? Calamus, you can't tell the truth when you fainted. Your little sisters who beat them around the lotus room didn't faint. Did they not know the details were deceived by you, or they did not report it, and the master misunderstood!"

Mrs. Xiao closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

With her shrewdness, how can she not see that the mother Fu and the maid next to Cheng Cha are not in the right place, but it is not easy to attack at this time. Cha has just learned to be in charge recently, and has established some prestige, so she plans to save some face for Cheng Cha anyway, and she will clean up these two slaves when she comes back.

"With a bookcase, the line divides the truth of the flesh and blood. This sin, either you are carrying it, or the dozen or so servants are carrying it. You choose one." Shaoshangjing looked at her silently.

Cheng Cha was pale and exclaimed: "No, no, no... How could this be..." She was completely confused, her heart was numb, and she didn't even know what she was talking about .

The three Cheng brothers looked at their young sister with a calm expression, and compared with Cheng Cha's flustered appearance, they felt a sense of pride in their hearts.

Mrs. Xiao secretly sighed, in terms of cleverness and cleverness, a hundred cuddles are not as good as Coil. Today’s incident suddenly happened, and I didn’t know about it in advance, but it was just a short period of time. In a few moments, she figured out where the joints were and reversed the situation.

"Don't be aggressive." She said solemnly, "You have fallen for the lotus room yourself, and the servant girl will let her fall."

"Okay, just listen to my mother." Shao Shang smiled.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't see her contemptuous appearance, and said displeased: "The fault of the slaves, this is the end. The book case is only a small matter, and it can be given to anyone. You sisters must still be in harmony with each other in the future. disgust."

Shao Shang nodded with a grin, not taking it seriously, but Cheng Yong and Cheng Shao Gong were not very comfortable, even Cheng Song, who was usually carefree, felt a little dull in his heart.

This is the end of the matter. Who knew that Mother Fu heard what Mrs. Xiao said, she seemed to have a backer, and suddenly burst into tears: "Thank you for speaking for our daughter-in-law. Smart, she is not as articulate as the fourth lady, she is an honest person, you know it, lady. Ouch, don't tell us the young lady to come up with the words of the fourth lady just now, even if she writes it down, she will not be able to memorize it! The lady is supported by three siblings. I feel sorry for our young lady, who is weak and has nothing to say! We, as slaves, can’t help but fear. Yes, we felt that we had to ask for a share for the young lady, and that's why we made a mistake...!"

Shao Shang squinted his eyes and felt that he overestimated this old lady. Okay, if you don't want to give up, then don't give up.

Sang shi suddenly straightened up and said coldly: "You old woman, where did you come from the theory of small rural households, what kind of mad and contradictory words. Where did you get bullied, you are What are you accusing! The Cheng family brothers are close relatives, and they have been close to each other for decades. Are you saying this to provoke the Cheng family's flesh and blood? Who taught you, is it the Ge family? Ask them!"

The mother Fu stopped crying, she immediately understood that she had said something big, she could say that Cheng Cha was honest and stupid and easily wronged, but she must not talk about it. On the boy. She responded quickly, and hurriedly kowtowed desperately, saying that she was wrong.

Mrs. Xiao also frowned, thinking that Mother Fu can't stay. She was a housekeeper since she was six years old, and she didn't know anything. These days, she is walking around with her cuddly, and the servants can only curry favor with her.

Cheng Yong straightened up and scolded: "Bitch! How dare you talk about the right and wrong of the master! Come on..."

"Okay!" Mrs. Xiao snapped, "This is the end of the matter!"

Shao Shang waited for a long time, waiting for Mrs. Xiao to let this Fu mother go. She laughed at herself in her heart, yes, she can only rely on herself.

"Mother. Do you think this old woman's words are right?" She said lightly.

Mrs. Xiao was determined to end this chaotic situation quickly, and scolded: "You guys are endless, aren't you!"

"Right is right, wrong is wrong. If this old woman is right, then my brothers and I have really fallen for the reputation of bullying my cousin. If it is wrong, please ask my mother to immediately Let this old woman be dealt with righteously!" Shao Shang looked at Madam Xiao quietly.

Mrs. Xiao suffered repeated setbacks today, and she was extremely angry, and said: "You dare to disobey!"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qing Li was first taken aback, and Mrs. Sang also looked at the elder sister in surprise.

"Mother!" Cheng Yong said loudly. Disobedience and filial piety is such a serious crime, once it is implemented, the younger sister will be doomed.

Cheng Song looked at Mrs. Xiao in disbelief, and Cheng Shaogong was also disappointed, she said in a trembling voice: "Mom, isn't Shaoshang your daughter. This old woman just said such rebellious words. Instead of punishing you, you want to say such heavy things to Shao Shang?"

Mrs. Xiao felt extremely angry and slipped, turned her head away, and sat silently.

Shao Shang sneered in his heart.

The hall is tall and wide, and the maid is standing outside the door with a sword and a sword. When she was writing today, Mrs. Xiao sent such a cold maid to arrest her, even Alime She was not allowed to bring it, and as soon as she came up, she was aggressively questioned. With such a three-chamber tribunal posture, the ordinary little girl was terrified long ago. Finally, she was half of the aisle. Back then, when the male ticket of the eldest sister was interrupted in the billiards room, she didn't even blink her eyes, not to mention today. !

Now in the Cheng family, although she is the daughter of the head of the family, her situation is not optimistic. A temperament that can hold back his breath!

?" When Cheng Shi was mentioned, Mother Fu was shaking like chaff.

"Auntie refuses to scold you, you know why. It's not for you, a smart fool, but for my cousin's face." Shaoshang said word by word, "Do you think your brother You don't have to be sad if you are partial to me, it's not like my mother is partial to my cousin."

"Curly!" Madam Qingli shouted loudly, her eyes full of panic.

Mrs. Xiao's face was sinking: "Let her speak."

Cheng Yong felt bad, it was too late to stop.

I only listened to Shaoshang: "My mother just said that the fault of the slaves should not be attributed to the female son. Well, this is a good word. That's why I made a mistake in the lotus room that came to my side for dozens of days. My grandmother didn't even ask me clearly, she detained me and gave me a training session. Anyway, I'm sure it must be my fault. And when Ayame, who has been by my cousin's side for more than ten years, makes a mistake, my cousin is fine. You say ,why is that?"

"This is because my mother likes my cousin." Shaoshang slapped his left palm on his right palm, smiling coldly, "My mother is both civil and military, and Huida is strong, let alone three brothers. , that is, thirty brothers combined are much stronger. Therefore, you don't have to worry about your daughter-in-law, with my grandmother under the protection, no one in the Cheng residence dares to take his edge!"

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Xiao resisted her anger, "Are you blaming me?"

Shao Shang turned around and smiled faintly: "Mum, after ten years of separation, the first time you had a deep conversation with me, you told me to speak straight, tell lies, What's the point', my daughter kept it firmly in her mind, she didn't forget it at all. Now you feel that the truth is not good, and you want to tell your daughter to lie?"

Mrs. Xiao was angry, stood up, pointed and scolded: "You evil obstacle, who is coming..."

Cheng Yong knew that her mother was about to have a seizure, so she rushed up and hugged her legs tightly, begging: "Mother, it's all the son's, isn't it? It's all the son's fault that the mother is furious! You are young and have no one to teach her since childhood, so don't blame her!"

Mrs. Xiao heard that her son was always talking to Shaoshang, and she was even more angry, and said: "You know it! If you sent two bookcases, wouldn't they be big..."

"Three." Who knew that Cheng Shaogong suddenly said coldly, "I need three books, so I have written. My mother only has my cousin in her heart, and I forgot about it."

Mrs. Xiao was stunned, stopped struggling with her legs, pointed at Cheng Shaogong, and said, "You..." She felt a chill in her heart at the dissatisfied eyes of the third son. Against herself, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

Sang hurriedly came out to smooth things out and said with a smile, "I just wrote a few words, what kind of writing do I need. It's just a family matter, so why bother."

Cheng Yong knelt down at Mrs. Xiao's feet and kowtowed: "It's all son's, isn't it, mother punish me."

Mrs. Xiao trembled angrily: "Okay, I'll punish you, I'll punish you..."

"—Why did the mother punish the eldest brother?" Shaoshang said suddenly.

Cheng Yong sweated anxiously, turned around and shouted: "Don't say it!"

"No, I'm going to say it."

of. Her snow-white and childish face had no trace of blood, her expression was indifferent, and her voice was even more icy.

"Mother can punish me, but not my eldest brother, because he did nothing wrong."

"Why did the eldest brother only give me a bookcase? That's because I was vulgar and ignorant, and the eldest brother took pity on me, so he gave me his beloved bookcase, I hope I don't get discouraged and study hard It's not that when he deliberately went outside to create a new book case, he only typed one and missed his cousin. What's wrong with the eldest brother?"

The hall was quiet, no one made a sound, only Yu Chengcha was crying softly.

"Mother, I can write no more than 100 zigzags now, and the books I have read are less than ten volumes, and they are all things that enlighten children. As for my cousin, she has learned everything that should be learned. You are teaching if you haven't learned yet. Mom, how old is your daughter this year, do you remember, I will be in school next year."

Mrs. Qing Li didn't even know that her eyes were wet, but the girl kneeling in the center didn't shed a single tear. She was so stubborn and proud, she just straightened her thin back. Qing Li has always stood by Mrs. Xiao's side in everything in her life, but this time, she wanted to be on the girl's side.

"There is an inseparable wheat cake, and there are two people in front of it, one is dying of starvation, and the other is full. Mom, who do you want to give the wheat cake to? Or , you have to tell the person who will starve to death, for the sake of fairness, you will bear it first, and then give each of you one when I have two wheat loaves, okay?"

Cheng Yong wiped her tears from the side of her head, looked back at the thin young girl in the backlight, and felt heartache for a while.

Sang Shi definitely looked at the small business. I suddenly remembered a small battle that I saw with my own eyes many years ago. At that time, the opponent's lord was dead, and there were only a few soldiers left in the battle, but they still refused to surrender, and struggled to raise the broken old lord's flag high. Later, their entire army was annihilated, and they all died in battle. In the afterglow of the sunset, only the broken poles and flags were still slanted on the slopes of the earth.

She felt that Shaoshang was like those remnants of soldiers, with a kind of loneliness and a heart-pounding brilliance.

"Mother, do you still want to punish the eldest brother? He is not at fault."

Shao Shang slightly turned one side of his face, quickly got rid of the wetness in his eyes, and then turned his head, still smiling.

The wet bluestone road in her hometown appeared in front of her eyes. The winter in the south is actually more difficult than the north, wet and cold, just like her childhood. She doesn't care anymore, but it still hurts.
