Chapter 384 The Secretary is a guest
"Oh, is this old man like that?"
After saying that, Master Si turned his head and hurriedly patted Qiu Sheng. Qiu Sheng followed his movements and sat down, only to hear Master Si say: "Qiu Sheng, don't listen to the nonsense of the national teacher. Everyone who has been with this old man praises me. In the future, you Follow me with peace of mind, the old man guarantees that no one will dare to bully you."
Qiu Sheng's heart beat a little fast, never thought that in less than half a day, he would be so familiar with Mr. Si, and even said that he would protect him.
He knew that he had been honored by the national teacher, seeing how sincere Mr. Si was, he felt a little guilty, which is rare.
Not only did he miss his daughter, but even what the national teacher said about his own family was false, which made his face a little hot.
Not shy, but ashamed.
Rong Yan glanced at him, tapped on the table, and suddenly changed the subject.
"Master Si, I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of War went to your house to send greetings on behalf of the second son of the family. It seems that something good is coming."
When Mr. Si heard this, he immediately changed his face, and he **** twice, cursing: "What kind of thing is his Jin family? That Jin Zeyu is a rascal and a rascal, he can also match my Mingyue and be theirs!" Go to Spring and Autumn Dream!"
Rong Yan's face was calm, as if he had already guessed such a result, he smiled lightly and nodded: "I see."
Master Si was still a little puzzled, and said directly: "They have the guts to come to my house to see if I don't discount those skinless and shameless legs! Tomorrow morning, I will pay a lot of gold for Lao Er. The charge is colluding with officials , form gangs."
Qiu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief silently, how could stubborn people like Jin Zeyu fall into the eyes of the Si family.
Actually, after getting in touch with Mr. Si just now, he has more or less figured out the nature of people. He looks burly and majestic with a serious face, but he is actually a casual and straightforward person, and he talks with people very easily.
With such a father to protect her, it is no wonder that Mingyue has such a good temperament, like the warm sun in the morning, staying beside her feels very healing.
"Hey, look at my old fool. Today I went to the morning court and the emperor didn't come. According to the person who sent the letter, I suddenly caught a cold, and I don't know if I will go to the morning court tomorrow."
After Master Si finished speaking, he secretly whispered in the ear of the national teacher.
Rong Yan tapped the table with his fingertips, his expression calm.
It was related to the body of the emperor's dragon. Qiu Sheng knew that these were secret matters, so he turned his gaze out of the window and watched the pedestrians passing by on the opposite street. He didn't dare to listen, let alone disturb the two of them.
After a while,
Master Si coughed lightly, then smiled and called out: "Qiu Sheng."
Qiu Sheng hurriedly turned his head, "Master Si."
Master Si smiled and invited: "It's getting late, Mr. Guoshi is probably going to the palace, you come with me to the mansion for dinner."
Qiu Sheng was taken aback, "No,"
Before Qiu Sheng could say his refusal, Rong Yan interrupted him.
"Go, I went to accompany Mr. Si for me."
Qiu Sheng choked on these words, pursed his lips and looked at Rong Yan, when did he get so familiar with him, besides, this is against the rules.
Rong Yan didn't explain anything to him, Xuan Liu outside the door came in to give away his outer robe, Rong Yan put it on and left.
Qiu Sheng opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Master Si on the side saw his appearance, and patted him on the shoulder amusedly, "Let's go, what are you afraid of, a man, I can't eat you."
Qiu Sheng: "...Yes."
…
Sifu.
The hall was quiet at the moment, the servants and maidservants all showed panic, and Mrs. Si, who was sitting on the head seat, stared at Qin'er on the ground with a gloomy face.
Qin'er lay weakly on the ground, sweating profusely, her hands were full of blood, her face was pale, her face was red and swollen, the corner of her mouth was bitten, and she begged hoarsely: "Madam, please forgive me. The servant made a mistake, and the servant will not dare to do it again next time..."
Madam Si's face was serious, she slapped the table with her hand, and the anger in her heart did not diminish, she shouted: "What are you, a lowly servant girl is using Miss as a shield, are you deceiving me, Mingyue Chunshan, or provoking my wife!"
This lowly servant girl has been in the mansion for half a year, but she is just a sweeping maid in the chaifang. If Mingyue hadn't begged for it, how could it be her turn to serve her.
Also blame her for being soft-hearted for a moment, and let her Mingyue suffer such insults.
Thinking of the gossip outside, Mrs. Si's face darkened a bit, and she winked at the woman beside her.
The mother-in-law leaned over and saluted, and looked fiercely at the little **** underground. She watched the young lady grow up, and she served her personally until the young lady was six years old. The anger in her heart was no less than that of the madam.
Glancing at the servants behind him, he ordered sharply: "Shut up, take it to the woodshed."
Qin'er's face suddenly turned pale, and she crawled towards Madam with all her strength, shaking her head and crying continuously: "No! This servant is really wrong, Madam, please spare this servant! Miss is on good terms with the elder sister of this servant, if Miss I know I will be unhappy!"
Mrs. Si got angry when she heard this, kicked her in the abdomen, and reprimanded: "You lowly servant girl, you still talk about Mingyue until now, the dignified miss of the Si family is also something you lowly servant girls can cling to!"
The woman glared at the servants, and shouted: "What are you doing! Why don't you gag me and take him down."
"Yes Yes!"
"No—Miss, uh..."
The other servants quickly cleaned up the blood stains on the ground. After a while, the blood stains were cleaned up, and the hall was restored to its original brightness.
Mrs. Si closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the chair. Behind her were two maidservants, one serving tea and water, and the other helping to massage her temples.
After a while, the mother-in-law came back.
Madam Si heard the movement, but did not open her eyes, and asked calmly, "It's been dealt with?"
The woman stepped forward quickly, and whispered a few words in the lady's ear.
After hearing this, Mrs. Si opened her eyes and waved her hands to the maid who was massaging behind her.
The servant girl respectfully pushed it away, and the mother-in-law supported the lady, and said: "Madam, the kitchen has prepared meals, and the master should be back soon. Why don't I go to the backyard to invite the lady in person."
Madam Si's beautiful face was a little sad, she sighed and said: "Mingyue is simple in heart, this is the first time she has encountered such gossip, she must be unhappy, let me go."
The old woman also sighed when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, gossip is the most terrible thing, and things that don't show up can be said to be true. If this continues, the reputation of the young lady will be ruined. Why don't you wait for the master to come back and send people to patrol the streets? Those who talk nonsense will be thrown into prison to see who dares to speak nonsense."
Madam Si naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, she couldn't help scolding that lowly maid in her heart, and nodded to show that she knew.
As soon as the two of them left the hall, they met Master Si who was returning home, and the handsome man behind him.
Mrs. Si was taken aback. She helped to choose the sons of various families in the capital for her daughter. She basically knew all of them, but she was surprised because she had never seen this one in front of her.
