Chapter 270 Teaching Etiquette
Fortunately, she didn't do anything yet, and fortunately, no big mistake was made.
Shen Congying suits her name very well.
He has a heroic look.
Although he is very soft-hearted and has no opinion of his own, he can be unexpectedly tough once he makes up his mind.
Many times, this toughness is used in the wrong place.
It is not difficult to see from the plot of "Knowing" that the marriage between Xiao Shen and the only daughter of the Duke of Yingguo was granted as a "reward" without any questioning by anyone.
Fortunately, she did not completely disgrace the word "Cong Ying". When she knew she had done something wrong and had no way out, she still stood up and lost face to save the overall situation.
This is already much better than most people who dare to do but not to take responsibility.
While performing the ceremony and bowing her head to listen to the order, Shen Congying, the eldest Shen, became much clearer without Shen Yuzhen's instigation.
As a princess from an official family, she does not need to kneel down to pay homage to her parents-in-law. The same applies to a county princess who has the same status as a crown prince's daughter. Although a county princess, originally the daughter of a prince, is two ranks lower than a princess, it is already polite for her to be well-mannered.
Her husband was a militia commander, and although he was ranked high in Yuzhou, in terms of royal rank, even if the prince's daughter was demoted two levels, she still couldn't reach that level.
If she had not responded to the eldest princess's call and went to the Sheng family private school, and had not developed a classmate friendship with the young ladies and gentlemen of the Sheng mansion, how could her son marry the county princess who was personally appointed by the government and enjoyed the food of a princess, and was the legitimate daughter of a second-rank civil official of the current dynasty.
I have been in Yuzhou for a long time.
They forgot what the city of Bianjing was and how imperial power should be respected.
Now that the official is old, she is extremely sensitive to the issues of interests and hierarchy. If she continues like this, it might implicate her husband or even her entire family.
Yuzhen... is confused, it’s time to teach her a lesson.
There were ten female officials who came to Zhao Mansion with Lingshu.
There was a fifth-rank Shanggong in the Shanggong Bureau, a fifth-rank Shangyi in the Shangyi Bureau, and the seventh-rank Siji, Siyue, Sibin, Sizan, and four female historians.
(The female historian and the female servant are different)
This etiquette training included both men and women and all male and female relatives related to the Zhao family.
In other words, all the prominent people who could be implicated in the beheading, regardless of their age, were ordered to come and learn "etiquette", which is actually no different from a slap in the face.
As the 'instigator' specifically mentioned in the order, Xiao Shen naturally received complaints and contempt from many relatives.
She felt embarrassed, and was even more embarrassed because she was scolded for five minutes by the lady in front of everyone because of her standing posture, and was picked out to practice alone, which made her blush with shame.
Today I am just talking about the rules of the station, which are mostly 'liberal arts'.
What is emphasized is how and where people of different identities should stand at banquets of scholar-official families or large banquets of the royal family.
By explaining in such a 'standing' place and bowing while standing and looking at certain places, Molan's status was emphasized in front of everyone.
Since even Zhao Zongquan has to stand behind Sheng Molan, let alone the family or in-laws headed by him?
(The royal family of the Song Dynasty was conferred the title of king in a very circuitous way. They had to undergo the same assessment as officials, etc. When I checked, I always felt that they were the most shameless royal family. The only good thing was that their salary was not low.)
Teaching does not matter about progress, but only about the length of time.
From today on, except holidays, it will be half an hour every day, without fail.
This arrangement made everyone realize once again that the purpose of this order was not so great.
It is a warning as well as a warning.
But Xiao Shen didn't understand all this, she just felt that she was being tortured.
After the female officials and most of the relatives left, he only said in dissatisfaction to Zhao Zongquan, Zhao Ceying, the eldest Shen, Shen Congxing and the eldest Zou,
"What's the point of learning these? It's just pretentious."
"Yuzhen, don't be rude."
Shen Congying's scolding made Shen Yuzhen even more angry. She pointed at Molan and yelled,
“It’s all because of her!!”
"Yuzhen!"
This time, Molan did not ignore Shen Yuzhen again.
Realizing what she meant, Longsha stepped forward first, raised his hand and knocked down Shen Yuzhen's hand that was pointing at Molan, and then said,
"Miss Shen, I'm sorry.
But you are being too presumptuous."
Longsha smiled kindly, but it seemed a little chilly in broad daylight.
Little Shen took a half step back before yelling, "You hit me? You maidservant, you..."
"Miss Shen, I am also a female official who has been conferred a title."
Although the configuration around the county lord is far from comparable to that of the princess and the county lady, the configuration after abbreviated is also a female official of the eighth rank and a personal guard of 24 people. The ceremonial guards for her personal travel are also preferential and special. She has all the necessary waterways and vertical fans, but the number of people is less than half.
The effect of Longsha's mouth replacement has been achieved. Molan turned to look at Shen Congying and said,
"Mother, you are not helping her, you are harming her."
In a word, without any emotion, Molan was just stating the facts.
Then, without waiting for Shen Congying's reaction, and as if not noticing Shen Congying's frown and dissatisfied expression, she asked Shen Yuzhen,
"Miss Shen, may I ask if you know the law?"
"What law!"
"What crime should be committed for being disrespectful to the imperial court princess and repeatedly speaking disrespectfully and refusing to change despite repeated admonitions?"
Shen Yuzhen was startled by Molan's question. She took a deep breath as if she was very angry, and emphasized that she was not answering the question.
"My sister is your mother-in-law! I am your elder!"
"so what?"
Molan raised her eyebrows and did not accept Shen Yuzhen's invitation to "join my thinking logic". Instead, she emphasized to her,
“Even if your sister is the queen, you are still responsible for your words and actions.
What's more, the higher your sister's status, the more she will have to pay for your words and actions.
Can paper protect against fire?"
There are too many examples of relatives being domineering. Not dealing with it is just impossible at the moment. As long as the crime is serious enough and the public resentment is great enough, as long as the censors force them to do so and the evidence is solid, can the government still be lenient and not deal with it?
joke.
The fastest expendable commodity these days is the royal family's relatives.
But these things do not exist in Shen Yuzhen's mind.
She felt that her sister was the wife of the top official in Yuzhou, so she could do whatever she wanted. Even the most important matters were decided by their family. How could a county lady be qualified?
But today, the maid in the palace broke the class divisions that she had thought of in her mind.
When she saw that Zhao Zongquan could only stand behind Molan, Shen Yuzhen admitted that she panicked.
So at this moment, she did not mention at all that her relationship with the clan was no different from her identity as a county lady from another family, but just used Shen Congying to suppress Molan.
Because she also knows that she is no longer in the right position, so she needs to be more "smart" and more unreasonable, so as not to lose the upper hand.
She didn't care about right or wrong, she just didn't want to lose face and lose to Sheng Molan, a person she disliked from the beginning and who was more arrogant and more confident than her.
