The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

The old housekeeper said, "Lu Si Niang is in charge of all matters of the weaving workshop. Si Niang is pretty and capable, and can intimidate people. She makes the weaving workshop flourish. Master Wan and Madam Wan both think highly of her, otherwise the weaving workshop would not be handed over to a woman. Si Niang rarely appears in the mansion, and she is busy in the weaving workshop at this time. How can she be idle in the mansion today?"

Shang Xi said, "Si Niang accompanied me to go hunting today. The men went into the deep mountains and old forests. Si Niang, I and a few children stayed at the entrance of the forest. Cheng Feng taught Cheng Youning to set up some hunting ropes and snare two pheasants. We roasted the pheasants, and after eating, Cheng Youning insisted on coming back. There was no other way, so Si Niang, a woman, had to drive the carriage to take us back to the mansion."

Shang Xi felt quite guilty. If she hadn't let Lu Siniang drive the carriage to take them back, the two men wouldn't have collided, Ge Dongqing wouldn't have been beaten, and Lu Siniang wouldn't have been held accountable.

Wan Lianxing said, "Wait until someone comes and ask clearly." Wan Lianxing couldn't say who was right or wrong now, so he could only wait for someone to come and have a confrontation.

Less than half an hour later, Lu Si Niang came in aggressively and said as soon as she entered the room, "My Lord, is looking for me?"

Wan Lianxing asked, "Did you beat Ge Dongqing?"

Lu Siniang said: "I was the one who beat him."

"Why did you hit him?"

Lu Si Niang said, "His frivolous words offended me."

Ge Dongqing sat on the chair and said aggrievedly: "I didn't."

Lu Siniang pulled out the horsewhip from her waist and pointed it at Ge Dongqing, saying, "You dare to quibble with so many people here? If you are still a man, you should dare to do it and take responsibility for it."

Ge Dongqing was extremely afraid of Lu Siniang's horsewhip. Before Lu Siniang took a step forward, he sat on the chair and dodged, looking very scared.

Wan Lianxing said, "Lu Si Niang, since you said Ge Dongqing was disrespectful to you, then tell me how he was disrespectful in his words."

Lu Si Niang said, "Today I drove the carriage to send Shang Xi and the others back to the mansion. I was thinking about the things in the weaving workshop, so I went into the house to drink some water and came out to lead the horse. Just as I bent down to untie the reins, I heard this person's frivolous words from behind."

Wan Lianxing asked: "What frivolous language?"

Lu Siniang said, "Let this pervert speak. I won't say any of his slang words."

Wan Lianxing said, "Dongqing, what did you say behind Lu Si Niang's back?"

Ge Dongqing said: "I didn't say anything. I just improvised a poem."

Lu Si Niang said, "Yes, just read your poem to everyone and listen to which sentence is not directed at me, Lu Si Niang."

Ge Dongqing was not convinced and said, "My poem is written like this: Black clothes, black hair, white flowers in the hairpin, plump hips and hips, heroic posture. Iron palms and silver shoes travel thousands of miles, only when she stands up can she know she is a girl."

At this time everyone looked at Lu Siniang, who was dressed elegantly in black, with a white brocade scarf on her head that made her look more playful, and a pair of silver-gray shoes on her feet that shone coldly. Everyone was dumbfounded. This poem has four lines, three of which describe Lu Siniang, and the one with her plump buttocks and hips swaying in a heroic manner. It seems that Lu Siniang is beating him.

Lu Si Niang cursed, "You damned rascal, I'll spare you for the sake of the Marquis today. But if you dare to say such dirty words to me and tease me again, I'll kill you."

Si Niang raised her hand and fiercely pulled off the white headscarf on her head, then turned and walked away. Her waist and hips twisted casually, with strength yet softness. Even without looking at her face, one could tell that she still had charm.

Shang Xi hurried out to chase after her: "Si Niang, Si Niang...wait for me..."

Wan Lianxing said, "My dear brother, is this poem about people or horses?"

Ge Dongqing suddenly stood up and said, "If you don't believe me, come with me and see if Lu Si Niang's horse is black with a little white on its head."

The old housekeeper said, "Don't look at it. This may be a misunderstanding by Lu Si Niang. The horse she rode was a good horse in the mansion. I am sure it was fat and healthy, with wide hips and fat buttocks, and there was indeed a little white on the horse's head."

Wan Lianxing laughed: "This time the misunderstanding is huge. Not only did you get beaten up for nothing, but Lu Si Niang also thought you were a hooligan. Hahahaha."

Ge Dongqing said: "Brother, you are still laughing. I am innocent. If this gets out, it will ruin my reputation."

Only Chen Ming on the side kept smiling and remained silent.

Wan Lianxing said, "Mingming, what do you think we should do about this?"

Huang Chenming said, "It will definitely not work to settle the score with Lu Si Niang. Just looking at your poem, you are flirting with Lu Si Niang. This time, Mr. Ge must not only swallow his anger, but also apologize to Si Niang, otherwise Mr. Ge will have a reputation of flirting with decent women."

Ge Dongqing sat down on the chair with a thud, and the wound on his butt made him grimace in pain. "This bitch is so fierce. She beat me so badly. Why should I apologize to her? It's not my fault."

Huang Chenming said, "Then you should think about it yourself. The women in Lu Si Niang's weaving workshop are all gossipy. If Lu Si Niang is determined, within three days, you, the virtuous brother of the Marquis, will make a big fuss in the city. Not to mention that everyone will shout and beat you, but at least the women who know you will have to avoid you."

Ge Dongqing said: "I was beaten up by her for nothing, and I had to go and apologize to that woman."

Chen Ming said: "You are lucky today."

When Ge Dongqing heard this, he blew his beard and glared, "I was lucky. He beat me so hard that I was crawling on the ground with my teeth showing. I cried out to the sky and the earth, but no one came out to stop me. I don't know where everyone in the mansion has gone today."

Chen Ming asked, "Do you know where this Lu Si Niang came from?"

"She loves whatever she wants and comes from whatever background. It's obvious that she has no knowledge at all. She can't even tell whether a poem is about people or horses. She is really rude and a shrew."

Wan Lianxing said, "Don't say that Lu Si Niang can't tell whether your poem is about people or horses. I couldn't tell when I saw Lu Si Niang just now. Besides, why do you write poems when you have nothing to do? I have known you for so long and I have never seen you recite a poem. Why are you so excited about a black horse today?"

Ge Dongqing said: "I was inspired to write poetry when I saw the beautiful horse, but I didn't know its owner was a fierce woman."

Wan Lianxing said: "You are really good. Good people like me and Chen Ming didn't inspire you to write poetry, but a dark horse made you successful."

Ge Dongqing slapped his mouth twice. "I shouldn't have said anything. I should have listened to Chen Ming. If I had known I would meet this crazy woman today, I should have followed Cheng Feng to the mountains to hunt. I would rather be taken away by a tiger than embarrass myself here. My reputation might be ruined by this crazy woman."

Wan Lianxing said, "Don't cry anymore. Chen Ming was right just now. You should go and apologize."
