Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

"Aunt, Pengpeng is fine."

Wang Shi wasn't sure how much she believed Wen Shu's words, but from the way she looked at her repeatedly, she could tell that she was worried about Wen Shu.

"Okay, eldest son of the family, just take care of the family. This is not your fault. After all, no matter how long your hands are, you can't reach the second house."

The old lady almost slapped the words "incompetent in managing subordinates" on Zhou's face.

Of course, the Second Madam and the Old Madam would not let it go so easily.

Looking at Zhou sitting there steadily, her eyes followed the figure of the old woman, and she was not at all affected by these events.

The old lady frowned slightly and said, "As for the second son's family..."

"It's my mother"

When hearing his name being called, Zhou never failed to show respect on the surface.

"Since you're back here, you have to abide by the rules here. Every family has its own rules. Since you've entered this door, you have to abide by the rules here.

If you can't do it or can't learn it, I can send a message to ask the second brother to come back and teach you properly. The most important thing in your family is harmony.

The premise of harmony is that everyone must abide by the rules. If anyone does not follow the rules, over time, with more people around, the rules will become meaningless. Without rules, people will do whatever they want.

This house is a mess, you can't say it's right or wrong.

Zhou

The last two words were spoken very slowly, but they were like a basin of cold water pouring directly into Zhou's heart.

The old lady was giving her a lecture, and it was such a merciless lecture. She was scolding her in front of her sister-in-law and two children, but she could still sit there and listen.

He immediately stood up and knelt before the old lady, looking submissive and having suffered a great deal of injustice.

"Mother is right. It is my daughter-in-law's fault. I will teach her well and discipline the servants when I return home."

"Grandma, my mother is busy with the family business. How can I blame her for this kind of thing..."

When Jinhe saw her mother kneeling, she immediately knelt beside Zhou. She was reluctant, especially since they were in Wenshu's yard, but she had to kneel.

When the old lady saw Zhou behaving like this again, she swallowed all the words she had not yet finished speaking.

Think out of sight, out of mind.

“You all should go back first.

But you, Zhou, don't need to send anyone to intercede for this matter.

Your sister-in-law will investigate the matter and deal with it herself. If there is anything inappropriate, you can provide the evidence you think is appropriate. If you have no evidence, just shut up.

Discipline your people well in your house.”

"Yes, what mother said is..."

"Alright, get up. You're still like this after all these years. It's embarrassing to have so many younger generations watching you..."

The old lady looked down upon her petty appearance. After all these years, except for the fact that she no longer cried easily, everything else was still the same.

"Okay, all of you go down. Pengpeng has been making a fuss these past two days..." This kind of attitude has happened several times.

Although Wang was worried about Wenshu, she still had many things to deal with, the most important of which was the trouble caused by the servants in the past two days.

If she doesn't make an example of someone to scare the monkeys, she won't be able to explain herself if such trouble happens again.

the most important is.

Wang looked at Zhou and motioned for her to join in.

This incident was caused by my sister-in-law's subordinates. If I don't ask her for an explanation, how can she manage this family in the future?

"My daughter-in-law has left first..."

After saying that, he took Wenshu's hand and said affectionately, "Pengpeng girl, you've been frightened these past two days, and it's also because your aunt, the housekeeper, ignored you. So when we get back later, I'll ask the girl to bring you some cold soup.

Eat some sweets, relax and cool down during the hot summer.

"How can an elder give something specifically to a younger generation? Peng Peng feels unworthy of it."

"You said that doing these things is too formal. I don't know where your sister Hua'er has gone. I, your aunt, always dream that your sister Hua'er can be as quiet and graceful as you."

Perhaps she couldn't bear to listen any longer, so the old lady hurriedly drove the man away when she heard this.

"Okay, you go back first!"

The old lady's tone was a little impatient.

……

Looking at the people in front and behind, the old lady leaned back in the chair.

He looked at Wen Shu and asked, "What do you think..."

"Don't fool me, I want to hear the truth!"

Seeing that everyone had left and only her own people remained, Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief. She sat opposite the old lady and clenched her fists, saying, "Grandma, there's something fishy about the identity of Second Aunt's steward..."

Who knew that just as Wen Shu finished speaking, the old lady couldn't help but exclaim, "Hahaha, you girl!

I knew I was right about you, you have a sharp eye and a sharp mind."

And a little regretfully, “If only your second uncle were as smart as you.

As for your second aunt, I want to see what tricks she has up her sleeve. Your sister Jinhe is also a person whose personality has been twisted..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wen Shu's gossipy look on her face and felt amused, but after all, she was his daughter-in-law.

Then he asked, "How did you find out...?"

Well, Wen Shu's eyes rolled. She couldn't say that the people she sent had found the whereabouts of Manager Zhou. After all, even her grandmother couldn't say more about her affairs now.

I can't tell the truth, but I can still polish it up. "I'm not sending people to Anhan. You know I'm taking advantage of the good market and preparing to resell some goods. When my people were investigating, they saw Manager Zhou sneaking onto the merchant ship last time. If we are going to have a serious business talk, we have to do it openly.

I heard earlier that Manager Zhou was in charge of the businesses under Second Aunt and Jin He, so I started to have doubts..."

"Your suspicion is not wrong, but who is actually doing this business is still undetermined..."

Then he remembered the main purpose of making such a big scene today, "When are you leaving?"

As he spoke, he looked at the girls around him, thinking that no one was taking care of Pengpeng outside, so he pointed at the girls standing behind him.

"We need to take these girls with us!"

Wen Shu also looked over. Jue Yu must be brought along, but Bao Ju...

This time they went out not for sightseeing, nor for visiting, and there was no certainty as to when they would return, not to mention the unknown dangers involved.

"I'll take Jueyu with me this time..."

"Girl, you're leaving me"

"Girl"

Before Wenshu finished speaking, Shaoyao, who was cleaning the yard, dropped the broom in her hand and ran over here.

Although Baoju didn't express it explicitly, it was obvious that she was reluctant to stay.

"Girl, Shaoyao will go wherever you go. You can't leave her behind!" Shaoyao tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, her eyes full of reluctance and worry.

"Girl, Baoju doesn't want to be separated from you!" Baoju quickly echoed.

Although she knew very well that the two maids did not want to be left behind, after all, they had been together all the way and had long been accustomed to each other's presence.

But at this point, she had no choice but to keep them.

"My departure is only temporary, and it's really inconvenient to bring you along on this trip. I'm worried that I won't be able to take good care of you." She explained patiently.
