Houfu Key Class

He took a deep breath and said with a face that was about to stop smiling: "My dear son-in-law understands me and knows what I am going to say next. Liu is disrespectful to her mother. It is too light to kneel in the ancestral hall. Only by kneeling and copying the female virtues a hundred times can she truly reflect on herself."

Xu Wan secretly counted the words in her heart: the full text of the female virtues is 1,500 words, and a hundred times is 150,000 words. Liu should be able to copy 5,000 words a day, excluding eating and sleeping, and she can finish copying in a month.

"Finish it within half a month." Zong Zhao's words fell again.

Xu Wan: "!!"

Minister Xu: "!!!"

Xu Wan swallowed his saliva and thought: Brother, you seem to be a little too cruel.

Minister Xu's mind was quick. He was already thinking of a countermeasure in his heart. Copy it a hundred times, and then find someone to imitate Liu's handwriting and help her copy it together, otherwise he would offend this powerful son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Zong Zhao said considerately: "Cuizhi, take two people to stay and help Liu grind ink."

Xu Wan stretched out her hand to cover her face, otherwise she was afraid that she couldn't hold back her laughter and would be even more angry if Minister Xu saw it.

My God, three people stayed to help Liu grind ink.

Is that grinding ink?

Isn't that the supervision of three shifts? ?

With Cuizhi, the eldest maid of the general's mansion, in charge, who in the Xu family dared not do it, unless Minister Xu wanted to tear their faces apart.

It must be said that Zong Zhao's thinking was still too comprehensive, directly blocking all the ways that Liu wanted to cheat.

Minister Xu was very proud, even if he was already mad in his heart, he was still forcing himself. He gritted his teeth and thought: half a month, half a month, Liu suffered for half a month, and he could get a powerful and virtuous son-in-law for nothing, it was not a loss at all!

He said with a smile: "My dear son-in-law is the most considerate. I will trouble the three maids in the general's mansion."

Zong Zhao nodded and said: "You're welcome."

Minister Xu: "!"

This son-in-law is here to irritate him!

Cuizhi had already slapped countless people. Seeing that someone was about to bleed, she came back and said: "Replying to the general, the people have been taught a lesson. It's the New Year, so it's not easy to bleed. These people have been serving the lady since they were young. They should be sensible after being taught a lesson. Do you want to take them back to the mansion?"

The implication is that they should be taken back to the mansion first, and after the New Year, these bullying dogs will be dealt with slowly, so as not to have to come to Minister Xu again.

Zong Zhao asked Minister Xu politely: "What do you think?"

Minister Xu's mouth twitched, thinking: You have beaten the people, and the mistress has also been punished. Do you still need to ask me for my opinion on a few maids?

He said with a fake smile: "Since he has taken care of Wan'er since she was a child, it must be the most convenient to use. Let Wan'er take it away."

Zong Zhao hummed and said: "Then stay and accompany Liu to copy it first, and then take it back to the mansion after copying."

"Yes." Cuizhi replied.

Xu Shangshu's smile broke directly.

What does it mean?

These slaves have to go to his family's ancestral temple to kneel and copy the female virtues? ? In the front, there is also his mistress kneeling and copying, and the maids of the general's mansion are supervising...

He thought about the scene and felt that the sky had fallen.

What kind of absurd thing is this?

The ancestors will tear him apart if they see it!

"You... I..." Xu Shangshu had no words to say, and could only say compliments, "My dear son-in-law... is really considerate, Wan'er is blessed."

Xu Wan did not interrupt the whole process.

Zong Zhao is indeed very considerate. He never asks Xu Wan's opinion, but asks Xu Shangshu directly. In this way, it is Xu Shangshu who makes the final decision to be the bad guy, and she can't be blamed.

Xu Shangshu felt upset during this meal.

But there was nothing he could do. He had invited these great Buddhas with great effort. It was good enough for them to come. How could he really expect the general to call him father-in-law?

But Xu Wan was in a good mood. She discussed the taste of the dishes with Zong Zhao as if no one was around. Zong Zhao would occasionally pick up dishes that were farther away for her, which made Xu Shangshu feel even more bitter.

Good news: the son-in-law loves his daughter very much.

Bad news: his daughter has a bad relationship with him.

The two left after the meal. They had no intention of reminiscing with Xu Shangshu at all. Only three kind-looking maids from the general's mansion were left, smiling and going to the ancestral hall to help his mistress grind ink.

Xu Shangshu almost cried on the spot.

On the carriage on the way back.

Xu Wan laughed and fell on Zong Zhao: "You are too cruel. You asked them to copy 150,000 words in half a month. My stepmother probably hasn't written for many years. If she copied like this, her fingers would be broken, right?"

Zong Zhao said indifferently: "If she is broken, call a doctor to take a good look."

Xu Wan gave him a thumbs up: "Great, you are so thoughtful. Why didn't you tell my father about this just now? I think he is just one step away from the final blow."

Zong Zhao said coldly: "I don't want to see him cry, it's too ugly."

Xu Wan was amused by him and giggled. She raised her head and kissed him on the chin and said: "I remember that you were trying to trick me last night, just to help me vent my anger today?"

"Yeah." Zong Zhao responded.

Xu Wan looked at him with bright eyes and asked with a smile: "Why are you so nice to me? I don't really hold grudges myself."

Zong Zhao stroked her face and said seriously: "I hate everyone who treats you badly."

Xu Wan was startled and said with a faint smile: "Who hasn't been hated by others in this world? If you are busy holding grudges, it will be so tiring."

Zong Zhao said stubbornly: "No matter what, I just hate them."

"Pfft..." Xu Wan was defeated by his refusal to listen to her advice. She asked, "What about those maids? Do you really plan to take them back to our house after they finish copying the female virtues? I don't want them to come to our house and make a mess."

"No." Zong Zhao said, "Once I get the indentures, I will let Cuizhi sell them. Send them as far as possible."

"Oh... that's more like it." Xu Wan sat in the carriage and thought about the Xu family's ancestral hall. The more she thought about it, the funnier she felt. "Haha... you don't know, my father must be mad. When he passed the official career, he also learned from the people in the capital and made tablets for all the names in the family tree. But there are few people in my family, so he put all the five-year-olds in the side branches, for fear that people would think that his ancestors were few. Now, all the ancestors with the surname Xu, whether they are relatives or not, have to watch a room full of people kneeling and copying the female virtues."

She said it very vividly.

Even Zong Zhao couldn't help laughing.

But the joys and sorrows of human beings are always different. The Xu family was wailing, while the Zong family was in high spirits.

Night.

Because Cuizhi was still staying in the Xu family as a supervisor, Cuiliu, who was paid three times the salary, was back on duty. She was busy arranging people to prepare hot water and wait on the two masters to rest.

Xu Wan took a bath first. There were flower petals prepared by Cuiliu in the room. She was soaked in the fragrant water and felt refreshed.

When Zong Zhao entered, there was still a hot fragrance in the room. He did not rush to take a bath, but took out a booklet from under the cabinet, found the page he had read before, and flipped through it carefully.

The two small quilts on the bed had been taken away.

"Dongdong——"

Cuiliu pushed the door open and came in with a large quilt.

Xu Wan saw the bright red double quilt again. The last time she saw it was when Zong Zhao had just returned home. At that time, because Zong Zhao came back too suddenly, she was not mentally prepared. Looking at the red in the room, she felt anxious and confused.

But now, she only felt novelty when looking at the red quilt. She had a very strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't describe. She even sat down, reached out and touched the mandarin ducks embroidered on it, and smiled softly, "The embroidery is really good."
