Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 150 Mother's Ruler

Wang Jinyi had just left the room and closed the door when a figure on the beam landed silently on the ground.

He turned the pages of the book and found the letter that Wang Jinyi had just put in "The Record of Grudges". He read it quickly and then carefully added it back to the page.

The night at No. 9 Yongxing Lane was silent. In the yard, a dark shadow flew out of the courtyard wall silently and returned to the Wang family's old house to report the news.

It is said that Wang Jinyi entered his mother's room and saw his mother sitting in the right seat with a fierce face. She held a ruler in her hand and slapped the cushion beside her. Wang Jinyi was stunned. This was the first time his mother got angry.

In an instant, Wang Jinyi understood that it was because he sent people out of the city.

Just as I was about to explain, my mother warned me in a very formal way:

"Wang Jinyi, do you know that you are a descendant of the Wang family? Your every move affects the entire Wang family!"

Wang Jinyi knelt down obediently to receive the training, but before she could hear the reason, she had to accept the training with a face full of questions. Finally, she raised her hand to speak, but after thinking about it, she realized that people here didn't like this, so she put her hand down again and asked tentatively:

"Mother, can Jin'er explain?"

When the mother heard the word "defense", the serious expression on her face suddenly disappeared and she burst out laughing.

"Okay! Go ahead and make your case."

The mother's tone softened.

"Mom, can we talk alone?"

The mother took a look, and Qing'er, the wet nurse and Zhu Yu all went out.

Qing'er drove everyone away and stood guard at the door.

"Mother, are you talking about me sending people to check on the Wen family?"

"Exactly! Why didn't you report this to your family? Why did you dare to act so recklessly?"

"Mother, you promised Jin'er that you can make excuses! Mother, don't be angry!"

"Okay, let me hear your explanation."

The mother calmed down and calmed down.

"Mother, I know that the Wen family is a government slave, and there must be a serious crime in the family. I also know that it must have taken a lot of trouble for my father to bring him into the family.

But the reason why he was bought at such a great expense was probably because of the friendship between my grandfather and the previous generation of his family, or because he wanted to use his literary and vernacular talents. "

Seeing that his mother did not object, he continued speaking carefully.

The mother looked straight at the little one in front of her as they discussed the final countermeasures yesterday, wondering how he had thought about it so carefully and made all kinds of preparations for any eventuality.

But the mother didn't know that Wang Jinyi didn't say she wanted to take someone away.

Seeing that her mother was no longer angry, Wang Jinyi pretended to be pitiful and said while pressing her legs:

"Mother, Jin'er's legs hurt from kneeling."

The mother rolled her eyes at her daughter:

"Will you take the initiative next time?"

"I don't dare anymore."

Wang Jinyi was thinking that there was something else she hadn’t said!

"Next time before you do anything, discuss it with your mother, okay?"

"Discuss! Mother, I have something to discuss."

"Don't say anything! Answer first."

The mother had a stern face.

"I dare not. I must report this to mother first."

"You ignored everyone in your family, didn't put the family's interests first, and didn't report it to the head of the family. Should you be punished?"

"Mother!"

Oh my god! Once it comes to family discipline, the lightest punishment is a whip!

Wang Jinyi looked at the ruler in her mother's hand, blinking her big furry eyes with a look of disbelief. Her mother hardened her heart:

"Wang Jinyi, as the master, does not abide by the family rules, does not understand filial piety, and does not observe etiquette. I will punish you..."

When Wang Jinyi heard this, she was really scared.

"Mother..." Before Wang Jinyi could pretend to be pitiful, she heard a voice breaking through the door and sounding outside the door. Wang Jinyi turned around and saw her brother rushing in.

Before Wang Jinyi had time to report to her mother, her brother had already walked into the room and knelt directly on the hard floor. She felt pain just by looking at him.

No matter how angry his mother was with him, she still prepared a cushion for him. He actually knelt directly on the bluestone slab, and he could even hear the sound of his bones knocking against the bluestone slab.

Wang Jinyi quickly grabbed her futon and moved it to her brother's side, asked her brother to put his knees on the futon, and bent down to rub her brother's knees.

Seeing his brother sincerely pleading for him, he regretted that he was too brave.

You have to know that in this dynasty, all your words and deeds concern your relatives and clansmen. As the saying goes, if one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer. There is a kind of punishment called "collective punishment", how could you forget it? !

Thinking about it this way, I really am so bold. I should have discussed it with my mother in advance and come up with a safer and more reliable method...

"Mother, Jin'er was wrong and I am willing to be punished."

The brother was trying to plead with his mother, and when he heard this, he became anxious and pushed his sister behind him.

"Mom, I'll take Jin'er's place. I'll take Jin'er's place! She's still too young to handle the family discipline. The ruler at home can break her hands if it hits her. I'll take her place!"

Wang Jinyi was moved by the little brother's sincere protection. She burst into tears, her snot and tears mixed together. She sobbed and stuck her head out from behind her brother, saying with sobs:

"Mother, Jin'er has done something wrong, punish Jin'er! Brother, you are right, you can't punish me."

The mother heard the defense between her children and felt relieved. She also calmed down a little, but she insisted solemnly: "Wang Jinyi, decide whether you should be punished or not?"

Wang Jinyi was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"She should be punished, but-but, Jin'er is still too young, too young, mother-mother..."

When the mother sees that the child is really scared, she knows that the purpose of education has been achieved.

"Okay, Jin'er is still young, I'll remember this time. If you do it again, and don't report it to your family, you'll be punished twice. This time, you can't be forgiven lightly. Starting tomorrow, you'll be punished to stand with a bowl on your head for half an hour. Do you accept the punishment?"

"Mother, Jin'er is still young..." This time without asking her brother to plead for mercy, Wang Jinyi stood up, shrugged her shoulders, and tears flowed down her face like they were free.

"Mother, Jin'er, you are wrong! Take the punishment."

In fact, the mother was afraid that it was getting late and the child crying like this would not be good for her sleep, so she wanted to coax the child, but in order to warn her daughter once and for all to prevent her from causing trouble in the future and doing something ignorant of the world.

So I gritted my teeth, hardened my heart, clenched my fists tightly under the table, and persevered.

At this time, Wang Wendong saw that his mother was really going to punish his sister.

"Mom, can I take Jin'er's place?"

"Jin'er, do you want your brother to take your place? Now I'll punish you by making you stand in the yard for half an hour every day at 10 p.m. for a total of days. Are you ready to accept the punishment?"

Wang Jinyi quickly grabbed his brother who was still trying to help him.

"I want to take the punishment myself. I did something wrong and I should take the punishment myself. I can't implicate my brother."

"Good! This is very good, because you know your mistakes and can correct them. I will exempt you from three days of punishment, and your punishment will start from tomorrow, which will be seven days.

Let Qing'er supervise. Mother will tell Qing'er later that it was the young lady who was practicing standing posture. Don't let the servants know that you were punished. Don't cry."

"Jin'er, I understand."
