Chapter 271 Reprimand
Molan did not leave Shen Yuzhen any privacy.
"You think that your sister is the wife of the Tuanlianshi, and your Shen family is also a famous family in Yuzhou, so you can be fearless and disregard the king's laws.
Yes.
As long as the Shen family stays in Yuzhou forever, and as long as the descendants of the Zhao family are all militia commanders, and do not come into contact with people who are more prominent than him, you can certainly do this, relying on your sister and brother-in-law, being ignorant and domineering. "
What does it mean that the Shen family will always stay in Yuzhou, while the Zhao family has been the militia commander for generations?
This...how could she curse anyone like this!
Shen Yuzhen was anxious and angry, and shouted at Molan,
"What are you talking about!"
"I said?"
Molan smiled.
“Don’t you always do this?
Fortunately, no one from the Shen family is an official in Beijing, and the Zhao family's clan is only a militia commander, so the attention of the censors in the capital is not focused here.
Otherwise, would you still have the chance to be lawless, arrogant, and self-centered in establishing rules of propriety, law, and filial piety?
You have never considered that sooner or later a spark will become a prairie fire, and no matter how thick the paper is, it will be reduced to ashes in the flames, leaving nothing behind. "
Shen Yuzhen was flustered by what she said, but she still argued back,
"me……
You are clearly making a mountain out of a molehill!"
"Yeah, yes, you are right."
Molan's light agreement made Shen Yuzhen feel like she had punched cotton. It was not right to continue to defend herself, nor was it right not to defend herself.
How could there be such a person!
She was just complaining a few words and was not going to disobey the order. After all, it was the Queen's order.
Besides, isn’t Molan at fault in this matter?
Even though the county lady was of noble status, as a junior, couldn't she be polite and tactful enough to admit her mistake and give her a way out? ?
"you you……"
It's simply unreasonable.
But before he could finish his sentence, Molan raised her hand to interrupt him.
"Shen Yuzhen, you are of a high generation and not young anymore.
When you are young, you should not be unreasonable, ignorant of etiquette, or do things only for your own comfort.
You should not be controlled by the shame of being accused of making a mistake.
The sage said, "Do not be ashamed to ask questions from those who are inferior to you. Since we are not sages, everyone makes mistakes."
No one is perfect. Even saints make mistakes and their shortcomings will be pointed out by others. Isn't your face more valuable than that of a saint?
Could it be that a single word of "you're wrong" can break your spine and humiliate your noble character?
What's more, is what you think is humiliation really humiliation?
You are my mother's sister and my husband's aunt, so even a noble woman like the queen only sent a female official to teach you personally, carefully, and properly after you offended her dignity."
These words made Shen Yuzhen wish she could find a hole to crawl into on the spot, and the last sentence made her question it out of confusion.
"When did I ever offend the Queen?"
"Yeah, you don't even know that.
Do you know that the Shen family's mistresses' upbringing and even your sister's upbringing as the Zhao family mistress will be disgraced because of you?"
"You can't humiliate my sister and the Shen family like this!"
"This is a fact, a naked fact to outsiders."
There was obvious pity on Molan's face. She motioned to Guang Pu, who had been holding an umbrella to shield her from the sun, to come forward and explain the "ins and outs" of the matter to Shen Yuzhen, or to Da Shen and Da Zou, who still didn't see the whole picture.
Guang Pu had been preparing for a long time. When she was still in Tokyo and found out the information about the Zhao Mansion and the Shen Mansion in Yuzhou, she was already brewing this draft that could greatly boost the momentum for the Empress.
She is a bright girl and plans to be a female official in the future.
So she handed the umbrella in her hand to her apprentice Ryokan and walked forward.
"Meet the gentlemen and ladies."
Spectrum bowed politely and then explained,
“More than half of the maids around our queen were awarded by the palace, and for this wedding, the palace specially granted female officials and maids to accompany her.
Mother Wang, who is beside the Empress, used to be the head female official beside the Empress, in charge of trivial matters in the Empress' palace. Now she has retired due to old age and has taken on some idle duties.
This time, I will be by our Empress' side teaching etiquette and accompanying her when she gets married until she has adapted to life in Yuzhou, and then return to the palace in the autumn to report.
The female official personally appointed by the empress was like representing the empress's will and face when she went out.
Miss Shen, you have repeatedly made things difficult for the Queen and questioned her etiquette in front of the Queen's maid. Such behavior is an accusation against the maid, a rebuttal to the Queen, and even more so, a dissatisfaction with the current Emperor.
We will not care about your doubts about the upbringing of the daughter and mistress of the Sheng family.
But the queen is a model of noble ladies, praised by the emperor himself, and has excellent moral character, yet you are accusing the queen of disrespecting you, the 'elder'...
Miss Shen, are you disobeying my order?
Or are you comparing yourself to a princess or a queen?
The status of a county princess is equivalent to that of a prince's daughter. Respecting her uncle and aunt is already a sign of filial piety and a model of morality and etiquette. You have to make the distinction.
If your surname is not Shen, the Sheng family, and even all the relatives and families that are on good terms with the Sheng family, will definitely come to your master to ask for an explanation.
Our queen is not a rootless duckweed. Our Sheng family now has four fathers and sons serving as officials in the court. The master is a second-rank official, and the fifth young master is a new top scholar and is now a fifth-rank official, even higher than your master Shen.
We in the Sheng family will not allow our daughters to be bullied by you."
This one sentence made Mr. Shen, who just felt that it had nothing to do with him and that the Sheng girl was going too far, finally gasp.
Only now did he truly understand his little sister and what kind of giant their Shen family had offended.
In this matter, was it that the daughter of the Sheng family was bullying and overbearing, or was she stirring up a hornet's nest?
Zhao Zongquan, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, sighed helplessly in his heart.
Their family doesn't just marry ladies from wealthy and noble families.
It's just around the corner for Sheng Hong to be appointed prime minister and granted a title of nobility. The future of the descendants of the Sheng family is promising. The fifth young master, who has just passed the imperial examination this year, has already held the fifth rank, which is higher than his honorary title of Yuezhou Tuanlianshi.
She was the daughter of a high-ranking official of the second rank. Except for one brother who was ten years old, all of her brothers served as officials in the court and served as backbones.
On top of that, one of her mothers was a daughter who was entitled to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, her grandmother was the legitimate daughter of a first-rank marquis, and she herself was also the Princess of Jianing County who was granted an imperial title.
This daughter-in-law should have been treated as a treasure.
What a nice girl! Even though she was a little cold, she was polite and didn't seem to offend anyone at all.
A generous dowry can bring absolute economic benefits to Yuzhou.
What's more, she has a top-notch in-law relationship with the Sheng Mansion. In the future, within two generations, the Zhao Mansion will no longer be living in the tiny place of Yuzhou, but will become a top-notch royal family with a foothold at the foot of the imperial city.
He was so busy taking care of this treasure that brought honor to his family, how could he be bullied like this just because of a squint?
Ah? ? ?
The Shen family, ah, the Shen family, they are always causing trouble but not being able to accomplish anything.
All I can say is that Congying is truly untainted by the mud, she is gentle and kind-hearted. Although she is a little soft-tempered and indecisive, it is good like this, as the Yuzhou family does not need her to make any big decisions.
Ugh……
