Chapter 236 My Son is a Traitor (Twelve)(1/2)
"The husband of the Minister of Rites' family? He must know etiquette very well."
He Tiantian deliberately raised her voice so that everyone in the restaurant lobby could hear her.
As if she was seeing an idol, she looked at Yang Sanlang with awe in her eyes, and then said, "I have long heard that the Yang family is a wealthy family."
"Young Minister Yang is also the Minister of Rites. All the sons and daughters in the family understand the rules and respect etiquette!"
"When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."
"Look at this brother, he has a majestic appearance and extraordinary bearing..."
He Tiantian acted like an ignorant country girl. When she suddenly saw the young master of a noble family, she felt flattered and ashamed.
Anyway, her compliment made Yang Sanlang very proud.
"Don't take it seriously, I'm just a little better than those vulgar farm slaves!"
As expected, Yang Sanlang hated He Xi very much, or in other words, his temper was indeed arrogant and arrogant.
He Xi's mother-in-law "He Tianshi" praised him so much. Instead of restraining herself, he continued to criticize Sang and Huai, saying that the entire He family was a low-class person.
"Tian Shenu", even if you don't understand its true meaning, just by looking at the word "slave" in its name, you can guess that this is definitely a very humiliating word.
The He family was born into poor peasants, and He Tiantian had just said personally that during the busy farming season, she, a woman, had to work in the fields with the men.
Yang Sanlang deliberately mentioned the word "field slave" in front of "He Tianshi". This is no longer a simple connotation.
It's like pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey.
Of course, if He Tiantian hadn't been so complimentary just now, it would seem that he wouldn't have heard Yang Sanlang's criticism at all.
Yang Sanlang might not be so presumptuous.
He is indeed arrogant, but he also has brains.
It's nothing to criticize mulberry trees and scold huai trees, to say a few sentences with vague connotations, to play a side game, or to play a word game.
Because in this case, even if he is being criticized, he can pretend to be surprised and say: "I am talking about others, not you!"
He would also look at the other person with a look like "there are people who pick up money, but there are idiots who pick up money and scold them", creating a second humiliation.
But if you really point at someone's nose and open and close your mouth to insult someone, then that's a bit too much.
First, it is easy to fall into the trap of others.
Secondly, no matter what, "He Tianshi" is the "elder".
Although the woman in front of her looks young, her son has already entered the court as an official. Not to mention, He Tian has a status that is almost a immunity gold medal - a chaste woman!
It is true that Yang Sanlang and He Xi have a competitive relationship in the officialdom, but their political opponents do not involve their families, not to mention that Yang Sanlang and He Xi have not yet broken up.
And Yang Sanlang, as the son of the Yang family, publicly humiliated He Xi's mother, who had a very good reputation... Tsk, tsk, if you look at such a thing, the people would shake their heads after seeing it. Even if they were brought in front of the saint, the Yang family would be at fault!
In fact, when Yang Sanlang proudly said the three words "field slave" to He Tiantian again, he felt a little regretful in his heart.
But soon, he comforted himself, so what if he humiliated He Tianshi face to face?
An ignorant village woman like her already has a low self-esteem. If someone exposes her wrongdoing in public, she will only feel ashamed of herself instead of causing trouble.
If a quarrel really breaks out, Yang Sanlang will certainly be scolded as arrogant, but the Hetian family will not be able to do anything good.
The He family was originally a mess, but the Yang family was a wealthy family.
That is to say, the aristocratic families of the Great Xia Dynasty were somewhat in decline, and poor families were rising one after another.
If it were left to the previous dynasty, huh, a farm slave like He Xi would not be qualified to enter the court at all.
You actually have the guts to compete with the Yang family for official positions?
Bah, the world is really in chaos, all the noble rules have been trampled on!
Yang Sanlang desperately thought like this. There was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart, but it disappeared at this moment.
He had made a bet that the Hetian family would not dare to make it public, let alone provoke the aristocratic family.
He Tiantian: ...Dear, I'm sorry, you lost the bet!
The way He Tiantian was trying to please someone just now was like the contradictory look of envy, adoration and self-denial that a person of lowly origin would feel when he suddenly sees a "noble person".
The purpose is to make Yang Sanlang get carried away.
At this moment, Yang Sanlang really said something about "field slave" to her wantonly, and He Tiantian immediately caught the handle.
Her expression changed, and she suddenly asked: "Mr. Yang, since you are a well-educated and sensible person, and I am a stranger to you, why are you speaking harshly to me?"
"I, He Mentian, was widowed at the age of twenty-three. I endured hardships for sixteen years and raised three children by myself. I also trained my eldest son to become the youngest concubine in the Great Xia Dynasty."
"I dare not boast of my merits, but I am not a lowly person either."
"Mr. Yang, I only ask you. There is no grievance or enmity, and the old lady thinks she has not offended you. Why do you insult me?"
He Tiantian asked her questions in an upright and awe-inspiring manner.
However, the original owner has the temperament of an old white flower, and her voice is also kind of delicate and timid.
The effect of these words is naturally pitiful, sad and miserable.
The original owner's well-developed lacrimal glands also played an important role at this moment.
He Tiantian didn't even use her acting skills, but her tear ducts started working on their own.
Two lines of clear tears fell silently, and the beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with tears, and they couldn't shed them, and they stopped crying even if they wanted to.
She seemed to be holding back tears, but she felt so wronged, so sad and angry that she couldn't control it at all.
When a beauty sheds tears, she is still such a delicate and timid beauty, which makes people feel sad and distressed just by looking at her.
Coupled with the original owner's white lotus temperament that radiates from the bones, all the people who eat melons have a feeling of being weak but strong, of humble origin but noble conduct.
On the other hand, Yang Sanlang was wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with gold thread, a priceless jade pendant hung around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, which was probably the work of a famous artist.
The clothes he wears make him look like a husband from a wealthy family.
And his arrogance, which is unique to aristocratic families, makes people from ordinary or poor families very repelled.
The Great Xia Dynasty had the imperial examination, and ordinary people's superstition and respect for aristocratic families were far lower than those in the previous dynasty.
Although I still have some admiration in my heart, I no longer follow the aristocratic family’s lead.
Especially those from a poor family, if they have the opportunity to move to a wealthy family, they will be very happy to support them!
At this moment, the person facing the Yang family from the aristocratic family was not a child from a poor family, but an even more pitiful woman. Everyone almost didn't need to ask why, and they all stood on He Tiantian's side.
Of course, if the cause and effect were understood, everyone would despise Yang Sanlang even more.
You, a noble family member, despise ordinary people at the bottom, but why do you want to humiliate even a modest woman?!
Yang Sanlang didn't realize that he seemed to have offended the public. He was completely shocked by He Tiantian's face-changing skill——
One moment, she was a humble village woman who admired a noble family. How come she, the next moment, she made a just and awe-inspiring accusation?!
"Me, when did I insult you?"
When Yang Sanlang said this, he was not pretending to be confused, but in his subconscious mind, he did not think that the word "tianshenu" was a curse word.
This is a fact, okay?!
"I am an ignorant old woman and I don't understand those crude words. But I have brains. The word 'slave' in 'tianshenu' must be a curse word!"
He Tiantian deliberately pretended to be "unreasonably disturbing", frowned, and argued: "I am a good citizen, how can I become a lowly slave in your mouth, Yang Sanlang?"
Yang Sanlang: ...swearing words, these are swearing words, of course you have to use some humiliating words.
For example, animals, and some organs.
It must be something that sounds ugly, makes people feel uncomfortable, or uses it.
Calling people stupid and stupid like pigs does not mean that they really treat people as pigs.
Yang Sanlang really wanted to grab He Tianshi by the collar, shake her hard, and then tell her that this was just a rhetorical device.
But, he can't!
Because once he shouted out these words in his heart, he would clearly tell everyone that he had insulted He Xi's mother, a frail but tough chaste martyr.
In addition, Yang Sanlang did not dare to take action easily.
Princess Ankang was still standing nearby, and a dozen of the princess's personal guards surrounded the door of the restaurant tightly.
Yang Sanlang could use words to "connotate" the He Tian family, but he could not openly use violence in front of the princess.
Otherwise, the evidence of his guilt is conclusive and there is no defense for him!
"I-I didn't!"
Yang Sanlang's grievance was obviously a curse word that everyone knew well, but it was interpreted by "He Tianshi" like this, and Yang Sanlang didn't know how to defend it.
"Why didn't you? You called me a 'slave'! I really heard it!"
He Tiantian looks like a mischievous shrew.
However, the original owner's old-fashioned temperament is too awesome.
In the eyes of everyone, she was just a simple village woman who didn't understand the twists and turns outside. She felt humiliated and couldn't bear it, so--
To be continued...
