Chapter 105: If you dare to faint, you will bear more punishment
Chapter 105: If you dare to faint, you will bear more punishment
Another woman echoed:
"This isn't some official girl. She's a girl from a brothel, right?"
"Eh. It's so dirty."
Everyone looked disdainful.
Zhou Qiongyu felt ashamed but couldn't resist.
She let them humiliate her with words, and her mouth felt hot and painful. The burning sensation was like ants gnawing at her skin.
An old woman took a ruler.
The ruler was wrapped with soft cloth and soaked in ice water nearby.
Another maid pinned a circle of embroidery needles on her body.
"Miss Zhou, since you have entered our palace, you must learn the palace rules. Follow us and learn how to be polite."
Zhou Qiongyu thought of Su Rutang again.
At first, Su Rutang asked her to learn etiquette, but she couldn't bear the hardship.
He started throwing tantrums and begging.
He pretends to have a stomachache today and a headache tomorrow.
Su Rutang saw through her intention and pretended to punish her.
Zhou Qiongyu begged Murong Feiyue, and finally Murong Feiyue talked about Su Rutang, saying that women should not only pursue appearance and pedantic rules. They should focus on independent personality, just like her, who didn't understand the rules, but could take the initiative to apply to be a chaste woman in order to show her female virtue.
"Snap." The ruler hit her on the back.
"Miss Zhou, please learn how to salute from me."
Zhou Qiongyu wanted to say that she knew how to salute, so in order to attract the attention of the noble family, Zhou Qiongyu specially learned this salute from Su Rutang.
"I will."
She performed the standard etiquette of a noble lady with ease.
This is the only standard one I know.
"Snapped."
The ruler hit her on the mouth, "You are told to learn, so learn. You are now a maid, and you should behave like a slave."
Zhou Qiongyu had no choice but to kneel down and perform the duties of a servant.
As she leaned forward, the embroidery needle pierced into her flesh.
A row of maids watched Zhou Qiongyu being beaten and learned to perform the salute. They knew that the maids in front of them were really reckless and had offended the Fifth Prince's wife.
“I can’t straighten my back.”
"Snapped."
“Don’t lift your head.”
"Snapped."
"Don't get up too quickly."
"Snapped."
Zhou Qiongyu really wanted to faint. Just as she had the thought, she heard the old woman snort coldly:
"If you dare to faint, you will have to bear greater punishment."
She bit her tongue tightly to prevent herself from having the slightest thought of fainting.
"Snapped."
"Snapped."
……
I don’t know how many times.
Zhou Qiongyu was like a puppet. She used to walk with her shoulders straight, but now she had to learn to hunch her shoulders and chest.
Wait until the old woman leaves.
She lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.
The woman who looked like a little rabbit was called Zhizhi. She came over and helped Zhou Qiongyu to the bathroom next door.
Their bathrooms were shabby.
The taste is extremely strong.
Zhou Qiongyu couldn't help but vomit.
It took a long time to stop vomiting.
"My name is Zhizhi. Are you okay?"
Zhou Qiongyu had never been wronged like this before. She always thought Su Rutang was unkind and that Murong Feiyue was the one who cared about her. Now she really regretted it.
She was eager to see Su Rutang.
Given the Su family's strength, it should be no problem for them to make her a concubine.
Do not……
Minister Su is a powerful official in the court, so he must make her a concubine.
Zhou Qiongyu endured the pain and pulled out the embroidery needle.
Zhizhi helped her clean the embroidery needles behind her.
"You'd better bear with it. As maids, our greatest hope is to become a concubine."
"That's you, not me." Zhou Qiongyu pushed Zhizhi away.
She endured the pain and walked towards the room with the big bunk bed, and took off her clothes one by one in front of everyone. She was not afraid of being seen, because these people would die in her hands in the future.
Zhizhi covered her mouth, stunned.
The woman in green sneered:
"It's really despicable."
Zhou Qiongyu changed her clothes and climbed onto the big bunk bed. She ignored anyone's abuse.
Hiding in the hard and wet quilt, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Calling Su Rutang silently.
The government's reward notice was issued more than ten days ago.
Murong Feiyue seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
Even the drunkard disappeared.
The old lady fell seriously ill.
Now he can only walk a few steps in Rongxi Hall with the help of a cane.
Su Rutang went to the temple to visit Taohua and the other children, and brought some of their favorite snacks with him.
Arrive at the temple.
Didn't see many little guys.
Su Rutang thought they were practicing martial arts.
Asked the young monk inside.
They said they had just finished practicing and perhaps went to the back mountain.
Hong Leng and Dong Xiang came out and delivered the things Su Rutang brought to the temple kitchen.
There were all kinds of mushrooms, some pickled ragweed, and a plate of tofu, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and vegetarian snacks.
She specifically said that it was to give the masters a change of taste.
Su Rutang was busy going to the back mountain to look for a few children.
Haven’t reached the back mountain yet.
I saw the old monk and the temple abbot each carrying two little ones.
Peach blossoms are tucked under the armpits.
The four children's mouths were black, obviously evidence of having eaten something secretly.
"Master Liaoran." Su Rutang felt sorry for the children, so he stepped forward and saluted with his hands clasped together, and then saluted the abbot.
"How did they offend the Master?"
Su Rutang thought to himself that the rules of the temple were really strict. It was not necessary to just roast a sweet potato or a potato.
Master Liangran let Su Yuxuan and Shangqi go.
"They climbed trees to rob bird nests, and then said the birds were so cute that they might as well roast them and eat them." Monk Liangran was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
A pair of eyes fell on Shangqi.
Shangqi was so frightened that he shrank his neck like a quail and dared not move.
The four little guys are in the same pose.
They all stood there like quails, not daring to take a peek.
Taohua's little hands were clenched tightly.
There was a dark circle around his mouth, and even the hair on his forehead was curled up.
Su Rutang hurriedly squatted down.
"What happened to Taohua's hair?"
Taohua quickly shook her head, as if to say: Mom, I'm not in the way.
"Look at your face, it's all black and gray."
The abbot glanced at them calmly and said, "You go squat."
"Yes."
The three little guys responded with full energy.
Taohua quickly left a kiss on Su Rutang's cheek and blinked.
Shangqi followed suit and kissed Su Rutang. "Mom, wait for us to eat together!"
Su Yuxuan and Rong Rui were older and felt embarrassed to learn from them.
The time for burning incense has passed.
Su Rutang went to the plum blossom pile, and the four little guys squatted on the plum blossom pile. All the little guys' faces turned red, even Taohua's face turned as red as an apple.
Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down.
My clothes were also soaked.
Su Rutang couldn't bear it, "The old monk is really cruel."
Hong Leng said aside:
"A loving mother often loses her son."
Chunxi was about to retort, but then he thought of the children in Zhou's house and immediately shut his mouth.
She remembered that Su Rutang made mistakes when he was a child.
That was also because Mr. Su chased him up the tree with a stick.
"I?"
"Well. What's that? Great monk Liangran doesn't teach his disciples easily. Even the abbot is not willing to teach people." Hao Leng seemed to have inquired about something about the old monk.
"They are willing to teach their brothers and sisters. It will be a life-saving skill in the future."
Su Rutang breathed a sigh of relief.
But she couldn't bear to leave, "Taohua, are you tired?"
Su Yuxuan said coldly:
"Aunt. If you have nothing to do, go play chess with the master."
Su Rutang: "..." "This kid thinks I'm meddling in other people's business."
Taohua was very considerate, her face flushed. She tried to smile and shook her head, as if to say she was not tired.
Shangqi pouted, "Mom, go talk to Master first. Don't disturb us while we're squatting."
Come on.
She felt sorry for people, but it ended up being a nuisance.
He added, "Mom, don't be angry. We all love you very much."
Su Rutang had a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay. I won't bother you anymore."
She was happy and asked Chunxi to go to the kitchen to cook a table of vegetarian dishes. Xia An also went to help.
Chunxi and Xiaan both have good cooking skills.
Su Rutang came to the backyard room and saw Shang Yan, dressed in the uniform of the Jinyiwei, sitting under a tree drinking tea.
Su Rutang bowed.
Turn around and leave.
"Mrs. Zhou, come over and have a cup of tea?"
Su Rutang stopped and walked over. "Excuse me."
Dongxiang and Hongleng stood not far away, while Huo Mi squatted on the wall holding the Xiuchun Knife.
"The day after tomorrow, General Su will leave Beijing."
"Well, the emperor has specially granted a banquet to the Su Mansion tomorrow." Su Rutang thought of the evidence of rebellion, and she clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hands.
I felt inexplicably nervous.
Shang Yan handed over a cup of tea and placed it in front of her, "Don't be nervous."
