Chapter 472 473 Making Trouble
Mr. Zhou proudly looked at the doorman who was lying on the ground and screaming, and cursed loudly: "You are deaf, you are a dog that takes advantage of human power. I asked you to call out the tongue-tied woman who bought flowers a few days ago. My flowers are not worth it." Sold to her.”
As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his pocket and slapped it in front of him. "The money will be returned to you. Go and take out my flowers."
Mr. Zhou stood at the door and yelled and cursed, which alarmed the passers-by. Seeing the fight, the passers-by stopped and gathered around to look at Mr. Zhou who was standing in front of the door and yelling.
Several disciples got up and looked at Mr. Zhou and Ruyi who crossed their arms and looked at them, looking at each other, "What should we do? Go in and report to Madam!"
Seeing more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, Yi Menzi frowned and said: "Old Wang, you'd better report it quickly! Otherwise, we will be the unlucky ones."
The leading disciple thought so. He hugged his stomach, which hurt from being kicked, and told a few people as he walked, "Watch carefully, don't let anyone break into the house."
Menzi Lao Wang ran to the second door and shouted to the woman guarding the door: "Mrs. Zhang, go and report to the madam. An old flower seller came with people and beat us. The old man was yelling and cursing at the door, shouting for the madam to retreat. Hua, he also said that Madam is a talkative woman, and the scolding was very unpleasant."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang shook off her bow-legged legs, ran in in a hurry, and shouted to a woman, "Mother Zhang is not well..."
Grandma Zhang scolded: "You have learned the rules from the dog's belly. You disturbed the madam by making a fuss. Be careful."
What are you so arrogant about? Qiuxiang and all the others are slaves. The mother-in-law slandered her belly and said respectfully, "Mother Zhang, Lao Wang, the disciple, said there is someone outside..."
After hearing this, Nanny Zhang was shocked and she quickly went into the house and reported to Ms. Zhang: "Madam, the old man of the Zhou family and his men were acting up at the gate and asked you to return the flowers to him. He still... returned..."
Mrs. Zhang frowned, "Why are you hesitating? Why is that old scoundrel scolding me outside?"
Nanny Zhang repeated Lao Wang's words, "Madam, what do you think we should do? There will be trouble when the master comes back from the office."
Madam Zhang looked at Nanny Zhang angrily, "What will happen if he comes back? I'm not fawning over Madam Xu just for him. Who asked him to work under the men of Madam Xu! Ask Butler Gu to go out and give him more money. He dismissed it.”
Nanny Zhang hesitated for a moment, "Madam, he has come to make trouble. Can I give him more money?"
"Hmph!" Mrs. Zhang snorted disdainfully, "Why would such an old rogue come to the door to cause trouble if not for money? Why don't you go quickly!"
Seeing Mrs. Zhang's disdainful look, Grandma Zhang didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to go to the outer courtyard to find the housekeeper to solve the problem.
At the gate of the Gu family, there were many idle people watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Some people were laughing and making noises, and A said: "Husband, please tell me, what's wrong with this talkative woman stirring up trouble in your family?"
B said: "Yes! The wives of officials also make trouble like the common people on the street? Why do you want to talk about it? Let's hear it!"
An old man who was watching the excitement glanced at the several doors standing eagerly at the door, and whispered to Mr. Zhou, "Brother, I advise you to forget it! This is Mr. Gu, the head of the Ministry of Etiquette. He is a high-ranking official of the imperial court." If you are a wealthy person, squeezing you to death is like squeezing an ant to death."
Mr. Zhou glared and shouted loudly, "She is not from a high-ranking family. My son's nephew is the minister of household affairs, and his nephew's wife is a first-class lady. Will I be afraid of him?"
People walking along the road sneered: "Old man, stop bragging! Just now you asked someone to return the flowers to you. You are just a flower seller."
Mr. Zhou turned to look at him and smiled proudly: "I'm telling you, I spent my whole life eating, drinking and having fun, and lost all my family property. It was only when I was old that I found what I loved to do, growing flowers and grass, and earning a few small bucks by the way. The children buy gadgets and have good food and wine every now and then, and their lives are nourishing!"
"I'll tell you why!" Mr. Zhou pointed at the Gu family, "This stinky woman bought a few pots of flowers in my shop, and she thought she had a kind heart and did a good deed. She went around making trouble about my nephew and my nephew's wife. You are filial to me, and you still tell people that I am pitiful for selling flowers. Why am I pitiful?
Look, I'm wearing woolen clothes underneath and a chinchilla fur jacket outside. I have a big coat like this at home, and look at my feet. I'm wearing deerskin boots.
Just like these deerskin boots, my nephew’s wife sent several pairs to my house at one time for me to wear. The woman in this family is still saying that she is unfilial. Do you think this woman has a long tongue? woman? "
A knowledgeable person said: "Yes! This outfit costs a lot of money. A good chinchilla skin coat costs dozens of taels of silver, and a pair of deerskin boots costs more than ten taels of silver. My biological son That’s all.”
"Flower seller, go back and ask your nephew if he has offended someone?"
"Even if you're offended, you can't talk nonsense!" The onlookers commented incessantly.
Listening to the commotion outside, Gu Butler cursed in his heart. He took the money bag from Menzi's hand, stepped forward with a smile on his face, and bowed to Mr. Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, we have already planted those flowers, how can we return them?" Do you think it’s too cheap? My wife said it’s not easy for you to grow flowers and sell them because of the cold weather. I’ll give you double the money.”
"I don't care about your stinky money," Mr. Zhou said with a dark face, slapping away the money handed over by Gu Butler, "Are you stupid or deaf? Call that stinky woman out and give the flowers back to me, I would rather give them No one will sell it to your home,
You go in and ask your tongue-tied woman, which eye sees that my nephew's wife is not filial to me? If she can't say anything, I will have to tear her mouth apart. I will also come to your door every day to make trouble and publicize your tongue-tied woman to your family. "
Damn old man, don't be so shameless. Do you think you can come to the house and cause trouble just by yourself? Butler Gu sullenly slandered, raised his head and glanced at Mr. Zhou, turned his head and cupped his hands at Ruyi and said: "Steward Zhou, look at it, this is all a misunderstanding, please advise..."
advise! You have a beautiful idea, it would be better if the old man made the matter bigger! Ruyi waved her hand and looked at him coldly, "Is it a misunderstanding? Your wife knows it. Go in and tell your wife that she is already very old. You must be virtuous as a person. Be careful not to end up in tongue-pulling hell."
"How can you talk like this?" The housekeeper pointed at Ruyi and yelled, "I advise you to just stop it and don't make it a big deal."
Ruyi took a step forward, looked at him and sneered: "What if it makes a big fuss! Your wife can do it, why can't I say it? I advise your wife, don't be so cruel now that you are old. Ming Knowing that my wife is pregnant with the young master, she still spreads rumors and causes trouble. What do you think?"
Steward Gu pointed at Ruyi and shouted sternly: "Steward Zhou, I advise you not to make unreasonable troubles. My wife has never said these things, so please don't spit on others."
