C5 (1/2)
The madame choked on her son's rudeness and tried to reason with him, ”Why does she look so stupid? How could she know the rules of our household? It's not right for her to be in charge of your house!”
These girls bought the house for their own use, so the rules were only of the lower middle class. The madame would never allow them to serve her son personally.
She took a deep breath and lowered her voice, ”The second-rate girl in front of me, like Long Life, Lian'er and Lan'er, are all the sons of our family. They are knowledgeable and smart, what do you think?” Her son's recent performance was too unsuitable for her. The longer this situation persisted, the more conflicted she became.
second-rate girl should not have been able to come into the room to serve her. Now that she had called out for help, Senior Servant Cheng gave the old lady's pomegranate with his eyes. The pomegranate quickly brought the three of them in.
After she finished, she pursed her lips and waited for Nie Mo to state his stance.
Nie Mo still had the same expression as before, as though the old mistress was not talking about his matters, her cold eyes swept past the beautiful and elegant girl, her gaze did not change at all, and her words caused people to feel uncomfortable, ”I don't like smart girls, if you want to be smart, just having Nie Jiang and the others is enough.”
The girls were also embarrassed. Some of them even wanted to cry. Seeing this, the pomegranate hurriedly pushed them out.
The Old Mistress closed her eyes and Senior Servant Cheng went forward to whisper, ”Are you dizzy?” Lie down and rest for a while. ”
He then said to Nie Mo, ”The old mistress was a bit anxious when she woke up.”
Nie Mo nodded his head, and finally managed to show consideration, ”Then mother will rest, and son will go back to read for a while. ”I'll come and greet my mother again tonight.”
When Nie Mo left, the old lady stood up from bed, and pulled his hand and said uncomfortably, ”Tell me, what is he thinking? If you don't want the little girl, then let the whole family work the little girl! ”
Senior Servant Cheng was able to understand people's intentions much more than all the children of the old lady combined. Although she felt that Nie Mo's matter was funny in her heart, but she could understand the old lady's painstaking efforts. As a result, she held back her laughter and said, ”This servant has a bit of superficial knowledge, but …”
The old mistress was unhappy. ”What time is it? Are you still trying to keep me in suspense? Hurry up and tell me.”
Senior Servant Cheng looked at the pomegranate again, the old lady nodded. The pomegranate brought its people down the stairs, leaving behind the master and his servant.
The Senior Servant Cheng then said, ”When Second Master was born, he had just transferred from Han Lin Courtyard to Rites Department. As he grew up, he went from the Rites Department to the Revenue Department. He now has the qualifications and has access to all six departments.
The more the old master likes it, the more strict and strict he becomes. Think about it, has our second master ever committed any mistakes since he was young? He doesn't like to joke around with girls, and his classmates are all elegant gentlemen. ”
Nie Mo was clean and healthy, maybe he could win over Liu Xiayi's pretty name.
The madame understood instantly.
Nie Mo was still a virgin, and did not know what benefits women had.
His father was happy, but he did not say anything about it. It was rare for an Elementary Scholar to appear at the age of 24, but he was also forced to study hard for two consecutive times and not call for an end to the fight. He was the one who said that he wanted to study hard, but he was the one who did not send people to take the exam.
”I did it for his own good!” Before the old man from the Nie Pavilion arrived, he had already heard the news.
The old lady can complain to Elder Nie, but the Senior Servant Cheng can't agree. The old lady can only speak, but when she saw Elder Nie come in from outside, she quickly stood up and said, ”Why did you come back so early today? ”How rare.”
After the pomegranates entered, they busied themselves, helping Elder Nie change his clothes. Only then did Elder Nie sit down and speak to his wife. ”All these years, you haven't had any new intentions. Everything has gone wrong with your son. You have to settle it with me.”
The old mistress laughed, ”You have wronged me this time. I was just praising you earlier, if you don't believe me, you can ask Senior Servant Cheng.”
”Alright, you two are in one group, do you think I don't know?” Tell me, what were you talking about? But second brother isn't obedient? ”
When the Countess saw that Elder Nie was in a good mood today, she felt reassured and smiled as well. ”Where did he go wrong?” It's just that his studies were arduous and the girls had all been released, so there's no need to be considerate. ”
Pavilion Elder Nie and the old mistress were different from each other. ”That's right, he's about to be crowned too. At twenty, the marriage should be set.”
Since this matter was more important than the matter of the concubine, the Countess wouldn't discuss the issue of whether her son was a virgin with Elder Nie. Thus, the two focused on talking about Nie Mo's marriage.
How could she not know that she had been discussed by her masters? Of course, even if she knew, there was nothing she could do.
The Nie Residence was huge. It was as big as half of the botanical garden she resided in, but the scope of her survival activities was small.
It was forbidden to go to the outer courtyard, forbidden to go to the back courtyard, and allowed to enter the girls' residences in the back garden. However, the rest of the young masters had to avoid going to or go to as little as possible.
With a woman in the room, don't leave the courtyard. With a guest at home, Mo Lu's voice rang out.
