"Anping sent some things over the other day. Yesterday, Brother Yao took Yunyou out, and Yunyou learned that Anping's Dinghu tea is quite popular in Kyoto. So he brought two jars over for Madam to try."
Sheng Yunyou was thick-skinned and did not mention anything about being blocked in bed by his elders in the morning. He just said that he came to show his filial piety to his elders.
The corner of Xu's mouth twitched, and then she smiled and said, "Yun You is thoughtful! It's a good opportunity for me to try this valuable and sought-after Dinghu tea!"
As he said this, he asked the maid to bring down the tea leaves and make a pot of tea.
The tea that Sheng Yunyou had given before was of the same good grade as Dinghu tea, but except for the ones that had been opened, the others were either given away or taken away by Bo Jingyao.
Good tea is hard to come by, and the best tea is rarely circulated on the market.
Of course, Dinghu tea was not considered the top tea before, but it was also one of the good teas. However, starting from this year, its price has dropped slightly but not much, and it can be said to have entered the bottom of the top famous teas.
The two of them drank tea and chatted casually. When Xu brought up the old matter again and asked Sheng Yunyou to enter the government school, she took the opportunity to run away when the steward came to look for Xu!
Xu had no idea what to do with her, and after sending the steward away, she started to worry.
The nanny beside her consoled her, "It seems that Miss Cousin is unwilling to take care of the household affairs, but her character is better than those who want to seize the power of the mother-in-law as soon as they get married!
Madam, just worry about it for a few more years, and then you can pick a good granddaughter-in-law..."
Xu spat at her, "I haven't even seen the shadow of my grandson yet, and now you open your mouth and your granddaughter-in-law comes out?!"
After a few words of scolding and laughing, Xu's awkward thoughts were finally resolved. "Forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings! If he wants to do it, he can't blame me, his own mother, for not making plans for him in the future!"
It's okay as for my mother's side. My mother-in-law didn't quite agree with it in the first place. As my husband said, once my son has gotten better, can he really forget about his uncles and cousins?
While the Xu family seemed to be accepting their fate, the mother and daughter of the second wife were furious!
Little Zhao smashed some porcelain and cursed, "How dare an orphan girl dare to step on my head!"
No one dared to breathe in the room and the maids knelt on the ground.
Everyone was secretly complaining in their hearts, saying that the other person had done nothing from the beginning to the end, but you treated him as an imaginary enemy every day, looking down on this and that every day!
Zhao's nanny stepped forward and finally managed to coax her away, but Bo Rongfang came running in crying again, "Mother, I want Yunjin clothes to be made too!"
"Where did the brocade come from?" Seeing that the servants had not yet cleaned up the broken porcelain on the ground, Xiao Zhao glared at them fiercely.
Bo Rongfang pouted and said unhappily: "At my aunt's place, when I went over, she was holding two pieces of brocade and discussing the style with the embroiderer!
I asked her to give one of the pieces to me, but she said that it was given to them by her eldest sister’s future sister-in-law, and the other piece was not suitable for my age!
Where did Big Brother get his fiancée? She is just biased and stingy!"
Xiao Zhao squeezed her handkerchief tightly and sneered, "She is just an orphan girl who is nothing. Look how much she loves her and even spends a lot of money to make her look good!"
"An orphan?" Bo Rongfang's eyes widened and her voice became shrill. "That little girl Sheng?! Is she worthy of being my sister-in-law? Pah! Mother, are you mistaken? My aunt hates her, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed us to intercept the ice cubes she was using to cool down!"
Bo Rongfang started to act like a rogue, shaking Xiao Zhao's sleeve and saying, "I don't care! Since it's the money from Mr. Hua, I want to use brocade to make clothes. I want to make new clothes, and I want brocade, and the style can't be worse than my elder sister's!"
She is also the legitimate daughter of the Bo family. Why doesn’t she have what Bo Rongxuan has!
Not to mention that it was bought for Bo Rongxuan by the eldest aunt with her private money, even if the Xu family was a poor family, any private money that Xu had would have been sent to the Xu family to fill the hole!
If Xu had not taken the position of the eldest sister-in-law of the head of the family, if Bo Luohong and his son had not been so promising and respected her, who would have the patience to flatter her!
I have to say that Xiao Zhao’s mother and daughter are indeed biological children. They are both selfish, realistic and arrogant in the same way!
Xiao Zhao had the same idea and immediately dragged her daughter to the main courtyard in a threatening manner.
Seeing Bo Rongfang leaving, Bo Rongxuan couldn't help but worry, "Mother, is this really what Sister Yunyou sent to us? It looks like Second Sister is going back to complain to Second Aunt!"
Last time, the Sheng family received a letter stating that the Sheng family had nothing to do with Sheng Yunyou anymore. They were afraid that Sheng Yunyou would be sad so they kept the matter secret. Only my grandmother and the people in their first house knew about it and it was not leaked!
For some reason, not long after, a batch of things were sent from Anping, but later my mother said that those things had nothing to do with the Sheng family.
Bo Rongxuan didn't know much about the Sheng family's situation and thought that it was subsidized privately by Old Lady Bo!
But Bo Rongfang always scolded Sheng Yunyou for being the abandoned child of a ruined family. Sheng Yunyou did not refute. She was a little confused. Are the conditions of the Sheng family good or bad?
Mrs. Xu shook her head. "This material for Nao Fantian was also given to us by Yun You! How short-sighted! Xuan'er, you must not learn from her!"
Xu was not afraid of Xiao Zhao and her daughter. Although her father and brother were not very good and her family was not that good, her husband and son were not bad either. She was not afraid of them at all!
Could it be that the Zhao family would go against the Bo family and make trouble for the men of the Bo family just for the sake of the unreasonable married daughter, Xiao Zhao? !
That’s definitely not possible. Xiao Zhao has been acting willfully over the years and has offended all of her brothers and their wives from her natal family!
In order to train her daughter, Xu did not let her daughter leave. The mother and daughter sat and drank the new tea brought by Sheng Yunyou while waiting for Xiao Zhao and her daughter.
Half an hour later, the mother and daughter of the Xiao Zhao family, who had not gained any advantage and were warned not to embezzle Sheng Yunyou's share in the future, turned around and went to Sheng Yunyou's yard and made a fuss. They smashed everything that could be smashed, and after venting their anger, the mother and daughter left in a high mood.
"Miss?" Zi Luo looked at the mess in the room and couldn't help crying.
Qingdai clenched her fists even more. If Miss and Ziluo hadn't stopped her, she would have knocked Xiao Zhao and her daughter down with a punch each!
Sheng Yunlan glanced at the servant who was looking over here but didn't dare to come in and sneered, "Qingdai, go pack your luggage, Ziluo, go to the eldest lady and the old lady and tell them that the Bo family can't accommodate us masters and servants anymore, and we will leave immediately and won't bother you again!"
Zi Luo immediately understood what it meant and ran out wiping her tears.
Qingdai was a simple-minded person. She thought she was really going to leave the Bo family, so she immediately packed her luggage actively.
Everyone in the Bo family is a nice person, except the second wife and her daughter, who are simply troublemakers!
Mrs. Xu never expected that Xiao Zhao was so shameless and lawless. After she scolded her, she actually dared to take it out on her future daughter-in-law!
It seems that she is too indulgent to them!
The old lady and Mrs. Xu came very quickly, and they were angry when they saw the mess in the room. They didn't believe that Mrs. Zhao didn't know that Sheng Yunyou would be the future mistress of the Bo Mansion. This showed her dissatisfaction with them and the entire Bo family!
The old lady hasn't taken care of things for a long time, but this time she is taking care of things!
Immediately, Second Master Bo Luoxiu was called back and reprimanded, and then Xiao Zhao's mother and daughter were confined to house arrest, telling them to come out only after they finished copying the "Instructions for Women" and "Book of Filial Piety" ten times!
These two books are neither thin nor thick, but copying them would take me three days and three nights without sleep!
Excluding sleeping time, it would take Xiao Zhao and her daughter two months to finish writing no matter how hard they tried!
In addition, the old lady also sent a message to the Zhao family, saying that their daughter, Bo Fu, could no longer be taught, and asked them whether they would send a nanny to teach her or take her back to educate her...
If you don't discipline Xiao Zhao once and for all, she will continue to make trouble when she comes out, making the whole family in turmoil!
In fact, the Zhao family is no longer as powerful as before, and mostly relies on the Bo family in government affairs. When Old Madam Zhao received the news, she was also shocked.
She naturally knew what kind of person her daughter was, so she immediately called her husband and son back home. After some discussion, she took her daughter-in-law to the Bo family to apologize.
Old Madam Bo refused to see them at all. Xu treated them indifferently, gave them a cup of tea, and then asked someone to send them to Xiao Zhao's courtyard.
If Old Madam Zhao hadn't come, and only Madam Zhao, a peer, had come, Mrs. Xu wouldn't have bothered to receive her. Look at how capable the Zhao family is!
Xiao Zhao didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. When she saw her mother and sister-in-law coming over, she immediately started chattering about the "unfair" treatment she had received, hoping that her mother and sister-in-law would help her.
Old Madam Zhao didn't even look at her. She went straight to ask the nanny beside little Zhao. Naturally, the nanny didn't dare to hide anything and told her everything that happened today in a very pertinent manner.
She still wanted to continue to live with Xiao Zhao, and she didn't dare to tell anyone about what happened before!
"You evil creature! How dare you!" Old Madam Zhao slapped her directly. Thinking that her children and grandchildren might be implicated, she did not hold back her strength at all and slapped little Zhao to the ground.
"Mother!" Little Zhao came to her senses and stared at Old Madam Zhao with eyes wide open in disbelief.
Old Madam Zhao wanted so much that she wanted to step forward and slap her twice more, and then she scolded little Zhao with all her might.
What good can Madam Zhao be if she could raise a daughter like Xiao Zhao?
It’s just that I’ve gotten older and learned to restrain myself and conceal my feelings!
Xiao Zhao naturally knew her mother's true face, but she never expected that it would be used on her!
She fell to the ground in despair, completely defeated by her mother's harsh rebuke.
"My in-laws said that you don't know how to behave. I'll keep Nanny Li to teach you again. If you don't repent and are sent back by the Bo family, the Zhao family won't tolerate you either. Then you can choose between the family temple and Nashan Temple as your destination!"
Nashan Temple is a place where women who made mistakes and were divorced and not accepted by their parents go. What Madam Zhao said is serious!
The slight resentment that Xiao Zhao had just felt towards her mother immediately turned into fear, and her face turned pale!
Old Madam Zhao dismissed the servants and immediately started to take a conciliatory approach and play the victim, saying that life at home was not easy. If she offended the Bo family, not only Mr. Bo, but also little Zhao's father and brother would suffer!
