Chapter 969: Poor Calculation

In Prince Nan's Mansion, the county lord of Baoru raised his eyebrows, and he was very angry, "You tell me again, what about people?"

The steward who was ordered to do things but did it badly, frowned, and looked at the county lord of Baoru cautiously, "Go back, go back, go back to the county lord, then, those people, they, they all ran away!"

"Ran away?" "The county lord of Baoru was so angry, "They took my money, and after doing it for so many days, they didn't get things done for me, and they ran away for me?"

"You told me yesterday that you will definitely see results today, and what else do you say, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be fine!" A whip pierced the air again, and it snapped towards the steward who was not doing anything and kneeling on the ground to plead guilty, "I told you not to take my business seriously!"

The lord of Baoru County kept waving his hand, and the whip that was drawn to the steward did not stop for a moment, until the person was drawn into a bloody person, and the grandmothers on the side were afraid of making a fuss, so they hurriedly came forward to persuade him, and then he saved the person.

It's just that the steward was already covered in blood and fainted, the grandmothers waved their hands to quickly carry him down, and coaxed the county lord Baoru to go to the warm pavilion to rest, as soon as they left, the maids hurriedly stepped forward to clean up.

Seeing that the master had gone away, the little maid went out with a copper basin filled with water, and another little maid followed, and the two went to a secluded place, splashed the blood in the basin, and then walked together to the well to draw water.

"What are you angry about?"

"I don't know!" The two of them are not yet ten years old, and the big girls only let them do light work, so as not to make the county lord angry if they do it, and their lives will not be guaranteed.

When they came to the well, the mother-in-law in front of the queue saw the two of them coming, asked, and learned that it was the maid who cleaned up the small pavilion, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "I heard that Mrs. Yuan Zhuang is in love with Miss Xie as her daughter-in-law?"

"Where did Mama hear that?" Although the two little maids were young, they also knew the reason that came from their mouths, and when they saw their mother-in-law asking, they didn't dare to show any of their words. "It's not easy to talk nonsense!"

"Ahh

"Yes, yes. The other mother-in-law, who looked like she was supposed to be a sprinkling sweeper, also interjected when she heard this, "I heard that!

"Bet on what?" Several other mothers-in-law also came over, and the little maids were surrounded in the middle, and they couldn't slip away if they wanted to.

The mother-in-law asked nonsense, and the mother-in-law who was asked said proudly, "There is a bet on Yuan Sishao's marriage, who is in charge, and who will marry him, there is still our Yuecheng over there in Xiangcheng, but there are many people looking forward to recruiting him as a son-in-law!"

"Really?" Yuan Sishao is one of the best gentlemen in their Yuecheng! The mother-in-law who said this was spitted by everyone, "If he changes his mind and recognizes our mother, Niangniang will definitely record him in the ancestral genealogy, and the emperor will look at the old prince's sake, so he will nod and let him inherit the title!"

There is no successor to Prince Nan's Mansion, once Prince Nan returns to the west, Prince Nan's Mansion will probably be taken back, and where they will go is still undecided.

At present, the peace of Prince Nan's Mansion is only temporary, once Prince Nan and Princess Nan pass away, I am afraid that even the county lord of Baoru will not be able to protect them.

In fact, Prince Nan's palace is strong and dry, when Prince Nan was alive, he was a good hand in business, but unfortunately he was in this vein except him, no one else was as powerful as him, Baoru County Lord has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and he only knows how to spend money like running water, and he has bothered to make money.

Prince Nan's brothers and concubines are all experts in spending money, and when it comes to making money, they are all masters who don't know anything.

After the death of Prince Nan, although the palace and fiefdom still remained, Jingli had actually sent people to take over one after another.

For Prince Nan, it is not a big deal that the palace will be taken back by the imperial court after her death, after all, she is dead, as long as this palace does not fall into the hands of her husband's brothers and his concubines, she can rest assured, but in this way, it will affect her baby daughter.

So she very much hopes that her daughter can turn the tide again and come up with a way to keep Prince Nan, she told her daughter more than once that she should try it and see if she can persuade her grandson to recognize her mother.

It's just that the county lord of Baoru is afraid that Mrs. Yuan Zhuang will make things difficult for her, so she has never nodded, but the mountain does not turn around, and the county lord of Baoru is afraid that she does not know that the princess of the south has met Yuan Sishao privately many times.

In the eyes of Prince Nan, this child wants to recognize his mother, but because the two brothers died because of him, he refused to recognize his mother for fear of hurting his mother's heart, which is the child's filial piety.

Prince Nan and the henchmen around her said that in fact, there is no need to worry, it is slow, when the remaining brother of the child becomes a parent, and when he has a child, his mother-in-law has a grandson, it will be easy to do.

The county lord of Baoru felt that the two young masters Yuan who died anyway were not from Mrs. Yuan Zhuang, even if she was sad, she couldn't be sad, and her son was stupid, and she was coaxed by the cheap woman, because she refused to admit her mother.

Compared with the son of the step-concubine to the daughter, the princess of Nan felt that it was more reliable for the daughter's own son, and as for the grandson of the husband's brothers, that would never be considered.

The troubles of the masters, these mothers-in-law by the well know nothing, even if they know, they don't care, they are the lowest level, whether they are working in the prince's palace or doing things elsewhere, in fact, there is no difference, there is a difference, it is the masters who are waiting for them, and those stewards and managers, once they have a new master, will they still use it as now? Absolutely impossible, then their treatment is not as good as before!

Therefore, whether the son of the county lord of Baoru can be recognized and whether he can inherit the prince of Nan, these stewards, managers, and the maids and servants who have to be used by the masters' side will be so nervous.

For these rough mothers-in-law, it is best to find out some inside stories from the mouths around the masters, so that they can bet, even if the money is not much, as long as they get a dozen taels of silver back, then they will make money!

So in addition to gossiping, the mothers-in-law are also constantly talking to the two little maids.

The two little maids were about to cry in fright, but they still didn't restrain themselves.

It wasn't until the big girl saw that the little girl went to fetch water, and she didn't return for a long time, so she rushed over to check and found that the two little ones were scared and cried, and the water hadn't hit yet.

Angry, the big girls stepped forward to drive away the mothers-in-law, and the mother-in-law was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so they opened their mouths and pushed back, and the two sides kept arguing back and forth.

When this title is taken back, I am afraid that you will not be able to settle down. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" a big girl with a violent temper rushed forward when she heard this, raised her hand and slapped her mother-in-law twice.

The mother-in-law is not easy to mess with, she was beaten, and immediately sat on the ground and sprinkled it.

For a while, the chickens and dogs jumping on the well were very lively!

This matter did not stab the county lord of Baoru, the grandmother in front of her beat the mother-in-law who caused the trouble, and sold it, as for the big girls, they were not punished, and they were persuaded to go back by the grandmothers.

When this news reached Li Qianqian, it was only half an hour later.

There is no way, the county lord of Baoru is not dead to her, she is stared at by others, she feels very bad, Li Qianqian has to send someone to keep an eye on her.

But if there is a disturbance around the county lord or her, she must be reported immediately.

After Liu Er gave the message to Li Qianqian, he looked at the corner of Feng Gongzi's mouth who was sitting on the side drinking tea, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, what is Feng Gongzi doing?

Feng Gongzi seemed to see Liu Er's dissatisfaction, smiled at him, turned his head and asked Li Qianqian, "Baoru County Lord, those uncles and brothers, aren't they very happy to jump up and down?"

"Yes, but for the county lord of Baoru, there is no lethality at all, do you say it's angry?"

"If they don't do anything, let's help them, and it can be regarded as a good deed every day! ”

Feng Gongzi smiled crookedly, Li Qianqian couldn't help but curse the demon in her heart, but her eyes were uncontrollably attracted to it, and she couldn't help but lament her self-control in danger.

At the same time, Shang Jianjun came.

He originally sent someone to inform Shang Zhigao that he wanted to settle down at his residence, but later he learned that after their family came to Xiangcheng, they went straight to Fengjiazhuang, probably thinking that they could live in Fengjiazhuang smoothly by relying on being the uncle of Feng Gongzi's brother, and then they could hold the shelf of Feng Gongzi's brother and uncle, and press their brother to agree to marry his daughter, right?

"Master, should we go directly to Fengjiazhuang, or enter Xiangcheng?"

The town where they are staying at this time, on the one hand to Xiangcheng, the other road leads to Fengjiazhuang, Shang Jianjun pondered for a long time, still did not give an answer, "Go and inquire again, and see what happened to Shang Zhigao after they entered Fengjiazhuang." ”

Shang Zhigao had acted so long before him, and he didn't know if the two nephews of the Feng family had been coaxed by him.

Not long after, the little guy who inquired about the news came back, only to see that his face was a little strange, Shang Jianjun felt a sigh in his heart when he saw this, and secretly said Could it be that those two nephews are really so easy to coax, and they are already engaged to the daughter of Shang Zhigao's family, right?

Who knows, the little guy's reply was much more than he expected.

"What did you say, and the family went to Yuecheng?"

"Yes. I heard that although their family lives in Fengjiazhuang, they are the same as the outsiders who go to Fengjiazhuang, all of them live in the outer building of Fengjiazhuang for hospitality, and they don't live in the inner courtyard of Fengjiazhuang at all, and they have been very busy with Feng Gongzi and haven't seen them at all. ”

Naturally, the marriage will not be possible!

"Then, what did they do when they went to Yuecheng?"

The little guy looked left and right, and saw that the hall of the restaurant was full of people, and no one paid attention to them at all, so he whispered, "I heard that Master Zhigao climbed to the county lord of Baoru." ”

Who is the county lord of Baoru? Forgive Shang Jianjun for not knowing anything about Yuecheng, the high-ranking county lord's wife, after all, the merchant's old mansion is thousands of miles away from Yuecheng, and she is a widow, how could Shang Jianjun pay attention to her? Therefore, he knows nothing about her.

After listening to the life deeds of the county lord of Baoru, Shang Jianjun couldn't react a little, "She is the daughter of Prince Nan?"

"Yes, eldest daughter. The little girl replied, and said that the county lord of Baoru wanted to recognize his son, but the son did not recognize his mother, and told Shang Jianjun all the rumors about the recent hustle and bustle of the Yuan family and the Xie family.

"Wait, didn't you say that Master Zhigao and the county lord of Baoru and the owner of Yuan Zhuang are very close?

"This ......" the little guy shook his head with a bitter face, "I don't know, there are rumors outside that these two families are interested in marrying, and the rest of the news is ......"

Shang Jianjun nodded, and asked again, "Then Master Zhigao's family, where do they settle in Yuecheng?"

Shang Zhigao has the arrogance of a Qing Gao literati in his bones, which is what Shang Jianjun dislikes the most, because it will always make him feel that Shang Zhigao faintly looks down on him from time to time, but because of his support for him, he hides that arrogance well in front of him.

Because of this, he didn't have to cut off Shang Zhigao's right hand and cut off his future, and he could also subdue people for his own use, but he used such an absolute way because he felt the arrogance of a Qing Gao literati in Shang Zhigao.

Because of this, when he calculates others, he will always deliberately let Shang Zhigao carry out those dirty plans, hoping to make Shang Zhigao's noble literati arrogance dyed black. Aren't you looking down on people with the arrogance of a literati? When you, like me, smear your opponent for some interests, and design to frame your opponent for bankruptcy and live on the streets, can you still be high?

It's just that what makes him angry is that even if Shang Zhigao honestly did what he said, he still looked like he was out of the mud and unstained when he came back, which really made Shang Jianjun jump to his feet with anger, but he still had to pretend to praise him like a confidant big brother on his face.

What is hateful is that no matter how much Shang Zhigao's kid coaxes him, he refuses to honestly tell him about the difficulties in his heart, and will only pretend to be stupid in front of him, until Shang Jianjun is so angry that he vomits blood.

Because of this, when he heard that Shang Zhigao had bought a house in Yuecheng, he was not surprised, and at the same time, he felt that his stomach was full of anger, and he was able to quietly set up such a house in Yuecheng, which shows that they had already planned before they traveled! Otherwise, if they wanted to buy such a house, it would definitely cost a lot of money, if they didn't plan in advance, how could they bring so much money with them, and they would definitely send someone back to get it, but Shang Zhigao didn't send someone home to get the money, which shows that he had already planned to take the silver ticket with him.

The little guy is still saying that the former owner of Shang Zhigao's new house spent a lot of money to repair it, and he doesn't know how much money Master Zhigao spent to let the original owner cut his love.

Shang Jianjun's mouth overflowed with a hint of red, and the sharp-eyed steward hurriedly interrupted the little maid, glanced at the waiting maid, and asked her to bring the tea over, the maid was unwilling, but the steward glanced at her viciously, so that she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to step forward honestly, Shang Jianjun was not angry, took the tea in the maid's hand, took a sip, and asked the little maid, "Since Master Zhigao has taken his wife and daughter to live in Yuecheng, has he taken them to the banquet." ”

I heard that the county lord of Baoru has held a lot of banquets recently, which can be described as a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days!

Xiao Wu shook his head, "I heard that Master Zhigao's family just moved into the new house, so they invited a doctor to enter the house, and then said that his wife and daughter were not accustomed to the water and soil and occasionally felt cold, so Mrs. Zhigao did not attend any banquets, and even the two young ladies did not show their faces in public." ”

"He plans to marry his concubine to Fourth Young Master Yuan, this family matter has not yet settled, how could his wife let his concubine show her face before her concubine. ”

Shang Jianjun paused after speaking, frowned and said, "Send someone to inquire clearly, see what kind of disease their mother and daughter are infected, but don't be the epidemic." ”

The steward's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Don't worry, the little one will definitely handle this matter properly." ”
