Chapter 473 474 Not Following the Routine

"Men should just talk when they talk. Don't imitate women who quarrel and point fingers."

Ruyi patted Gu Butler's hand, "We all know exactly which house Mrs. Zhang spoke to, where she spoke, and what she said. Not only did they say my wife was unfilial, but they also said my family was jealous. I have a big belly and I don’t arrange anyone to serve my master.

I was surprised. My master didn’t care about it, and he didn’t care about it. When would it be their turn to care about my master’s affairs in the house? My master didn’t marry any new ladies either! "

"You, you..." Gu Butler pointed at Ruyi and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Nanny Zhang, who was staring at the door, saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran inside.

When he arrived at the second door, he panted and reported to Mrs. Zhang who was waiting at the door to hear the news: "Madam, the old man of the Zhou family is not good at getting in. Manager Zhou's mouth is sharper than that of a woman. There is nothing he can do about the housekeeper. You What should we do?"

Mrs. Zhang thought that the longer the quarrel lasted, the more people would see the joke. She looked at Nanny Zhang with a sullen expression, "Move the flowers out and return them to him. Remember, don't talk to those untouchables."

"Yes, madam." Nanny Zhang was busy directing people to move the flowers.

Outside the house, Mr. Zhou started to cheer, "Ruyi, you bitch, stop being disgusting with me. I don't even want such a poisonous woman to support you. You tongue-tied woman, please bring the flowers to me quickly."

People watching the excitement started talking, "Yes! She has a big belly, so she arranged this to harm her!"

An old woman curled her lips and said: "I think the man of this family doesn't want to find her. These noble ladies are full of food and support. The couple's affairs are so troublesome for outsiders."

"Yes! Let her have two meals a day and see if she still has time to grind her teeth!"

Steward Gu took a breath and shouted angrily at Ruyi with a livid face: "Steward Zhou, do you think my Gu family is afraid of you?"

"My Zhou family is afraid of you and your tongue-tied woman. Who doesn't know that someone can be crushed to death under the tongue?" Ruyi sneered again and again, "Your Gu family is very powerful. Master Gu serves in the Ministry of Etiquette and specializes in etiquette education. How powerful can you be?" The woman at home has been taught to be a talkative woman. I think it’s better to resign and go home as soon as possible! Don’t harm the people of Dayong."

The onlookers laughed, and a man shouted loudly: "You're right, you're still working in the Ministry of Etiquette like this! Get out of here as soon as possible."

"I think he probably specializes in training women with long tongues." Mr. Zhou waved and shouted, and the onlookers burst into laughter.

At this time, Grandma Zhang walked out of the house, followed by a cart with orchids and wintersweet on it.

Mr. Zhou stepped forward, pointed at the flowers, and said to the woman: "I have returned the money to your family. Don't spread rumors in a few days that I took your money for free."

Without saying a word, the mother-in-law ordered people to move the flowers down. She glanced at Mr. Zhou coldly and pointed at the flowers, "Old man, please be clear about it. Don't go back and think about it and regret it, and come to the house again to make trouble."

"Hmph," Mr. Zhou sneered, "If your talkative woman doesn't talk nonsense outside, I'm busy growing flowers and don't have time to grind my teeth with you. If I hear any more gossip, I'll make your family very upset. "

The mother-in-law was so angry that her lips trembled a few times. She didn't dare to reply when she thought of the madam's instructions. She glanced at Mr. Zhou and said to the ancient steward: "Butler, madam said, let us not argue with such ignorant common people."

Housekeeper Gu and his mother-in-law glanced at Mr. Zhou and Ruyi, raised their heads and turned back.

The mother-in-law's words aroused public outrage, and an old man pointed at the mother-in-law and shouted, "We are untouchables in the market. The previous generation of your Gu family was just a goods picker, and there are still goods pickers in the Gu family's ancestral hall!"

"You are a bully," Mr. Zhou shouted behind the two of them. He turned around and looked at the people watching the fun, "Big guy, I just said that I would rather give away my flowers than sell them to a woman with a long tongue." , come on, come on, each person carries a pot."

The onlookers looked at those delicate flowers and were eager to try them. They looked at Mr. Zhou and asked: "Old man, do you really want to give it away for free?"

Mr. Zhou smiled proudly and said, "I kept my promise and it's free. Don't grab it. Each person can take a pot." The people watching the excitement rushed forward and each person picked up a pot. Those who were timid and stood far away regretted it.

Ruyi and Mr. Zhou got in the car and walked back. Mr. Zhou looked at the people holding flowers and smiling happily, covering his heart and said sadly: "Go back and ask your master to pay me the money. I want to buy stuff for my children." .”

Ruyi responded with a smile: "Don't worry, old master. I will report to the master when I get back and I will double the compensation for you."

"That's pretty much it." Mr. Zhou leaned back on the backrest and smiled with satisfaction.

After Ruyi left, Zhou Jia went out to the official department to find Feng's husband, and said to him with a gloomy face: "Master Liu, my Zhou family and your Liu family have never had any contact or enmity. Why is your wife ruining my wife's reputation outside?" , spreading rumors that my wife is unfilial and has taken over the affairs of my house. When will it be your wife’s turn to take charge of my house? If my wife does anything wrong, I will not give up. "

Mr. Liu blushed, looked at Zhou Jia and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhou, please don't slander my wife with red lips and white teeth."

Zhou Jia looked at Mr. Liu with a sneer on his face, "I don't have the time to slander your wife. Mr. Liu, please go back and tell your wife that if I have a daughter-in-law, please take care of her. Just take care of your own man."

After Zhou Jia finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave. Then he went to the Ministry of Rites to find Mr. Gu and Mr. Xu's husband, asking them to take care of his wife, not to stir up trouble outside, and not to interfere with his family affairs.

Principal Gu and Mr. Xu's husband looked at Zhou Jia's back and looked at each other in confusion, "Why are there such unreasonable people? Shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed in private? Why do you come to the Yamen so boldly to argue?"

The news that Zhou Jia went to the Yamen to argue with these three people soon spread. A wife who had suffered a lot from the gossip spread by the gossip started to complain about her husband: Look at how Mr. Zhou protects his wife, you Looking at you, you know that you have asked me to be patient and generous. Why should I endure it when I have been wronged?

Those who have daughters to marry at home secretly want to find a son-in-law who will protect their shortcomings like Mr. Zhou.

Ruyi went home and told Jixiang about seeing Li Fengqi, and said to Jixiang: "I saw a side face at that time, and I didn't know if it was him."

Ji Xiang thought for a while, "Mrs. Gu's wife slandered her, and Li Fengqi appeared in Gu's family again. There are some things that we have to guard against. I haven't checked where he is a husband. Now it seems that he went to Gu's family. How could there be such a coincidence?" Will he collude with those people to harm the master and his wife because they don’t help him?”
