Chapter 127: Rumors spread
In the Gao Jin Inn, in the hall of Tianzi No. 1 room, Li Qianqian and the people in charge of the matter, all gathered together, and even the Feng Gongzi brothers also held their little nephews to listen.
Rumors spread all over the world overnight, and the speed was staggering.
"Someone is behind this, right?" the Commander sneered, "They want to force people on us, and they are afraid of annoying us, so they use the power of public opinion to make us have to obey." β
"And it's none of their business. Li Qian added with a smile, "Because it is the power of public opinion, it is not forced by them, and they can't do anything about it, and the whole thing has nothing to do with them." β
"No, how can it have nothing to do with them? At least, those two women came to the Gaojin Inn by themselves. A minor commander beside the Lord said angrily.
The Commander reached out and patted him, this was his aunt's cousin, he had brought in the Imperial Guard, and he had the closest relationship with him, so he reacted to this matter the most violently.
Li Qianqian raised his eyebrows and glanced at the man, this person seemed to be a little too excited, is it by nature? Or is there some special reason?
When Chunjiang saw her looking at the person, she secretly wrote it down, turned around and said to Liu Er, and asked him to send someone to check on this person.
Brother Feng Gongzi also felt that the man's reaction was a little strange, and when he saw Li Qianqian raising his eyes to look at him, he remembered it.
Poor cousin Xue Changjiang didn't know that he was being targeted, and the commander Jiang Huazhang comforted his cousin for a few words, and then turned back to talk to Li Lingxi, but he didn't notice Xue Changjiang's face was remorseful, as if he regretted that his reaction just now was too intense.
Li Lingxi doesn't have a good impression of Miss Nangong Er and Yao Yanwu, and he doesn't want to be relied on by these two people, and Jiang Huazhang is the same, he just got engaged to him at home, and he has such a thing here, isn't it a slap in the face to the woman?
He hopes to solve this problem in the shortest possible time.
It's just that he and Li Lingxi thought about it and didn't discuss a result.
Master Cai, who was sitting on the side eating Mother Ye's newly made refreshments, said impatiently, "What's so worrying about this? You have never met them in private, if you meet a few times in public, you can make them come to you desperately after they have already been engaged, that only means that the two of them are." β
But the problem is that both of them are natives of Zedu City, and they are weak women, and they are outsiders, and they are strong people from above.
It makes perfect sense to say that they used their power to coerce them into obeying them, and then abandoned them in chaos, and designed to make them lose their manners in front of others, and then they had to make family appointments with others.
After Li Qianqian finished speaking, Li Shu and the others all quieted down.
"But since we are outsiders and newcomers, how can we calculate them so carefully?"
"Don't forget, my fiancΓ© is Feng Gongzi, what kind of business does Fengjiazhuang have, haven't you forgotten?" Li Qian said with a light smile.
Li Lingxi and Jiang Huazhang's faces were ugly, Li Shu was fine, Feng Gongzi's brothers were concentrating on teasing the child, Zhang Lao was holding a chess game and arranging chess pieces, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, "It's nothing!"
"Since the Nangong family and the Yao family threw their daughters here with us, then let's hold a banquet generously and bring the two of them to the front of people. β
Although I have seen Yao Yanwu, I only know what Sister Wu she is, Sister Li and I have never met Second Miss Nangong, let alone the Third Brother and Master Jiang. β
They are male guests, and when they entered the banquet venue, it was the head of the Tong family who greeted them with their sons, even if they saw Miss Nangong Er and Yao Yanwu, they had never been introduced, so it was impossible for them to know who those two women were.
"Since their families don't take them back, we don't have to be polite. β
"Wait, the people of the Gao Jin Inn should recognize the two of them. Feng Gongzi reminded.
Li Qianqian waved his hand disappreciatively, "Don't worry! They won't come forward to say anything." After all, there's still a Second Miss Tong here!"
Aunt Xu made the head of the Tong family happy to be a father and helped people raise children for so many years, and when she came, this woman still colluded with outsiders and plotted to kill him, and the head of the Tong family has not finished her breath! Aunt Xu has been disposed of by the eldest young master Tong, and the two brothers of the second young master Tong are in prison, and the second young master Tong has become the best target for anger.
Gao Jin Inn is also the territory of Young Master Tong, from the shopkeeper to the sweeping uncle, they all listen to Young Master Tong, they can't stand up for Miss Tong Er, and they can't stand up for the other two, otherwise how can they explain that they don't stand out for Miss Tong Er?
Li Qianqian and they moved very fast, and after the discussion, they held a banquet the next day.
This banquet was even grander than the Tong family's, the head of the Tong family wanted to recruit a son-in-law for his daughter, a second- or third-rate family in the city, so he didn't invite them to participate in the grand event, lest their daughter steal the limelight of his own daughter.
But Li Qianqian's banquet did not have this concern, on the contrary, the more people who came, the better, because the reason for her banquet was that she had met three young ladies in the inn, but unfortunately, these three young ladies were injured for some reason, and they all forgot who they were.
She sent people to inquire about the people at the inn, and they all said that they didn't know these three young ladies, because they were about to leave for Beijing, and it was not good to take the three of them away, and their families couldn't find them, so they must be very anxious, so before they left, they wanted to find their relatives for them.
This reason is very ridiculous, especially when it is rumored that Miss Nangong Er and Miss Yao escaped marriage, and Li Qianqian's third brother was involved, but she held such a banquet for this reason at this time, isn't it strange?
However, because I wanted to find out, all the people who had invitations attended, and none of them were missed.
When the third master of Nangong learned of this, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet and yelled and asked his wife to go and bring his daughter back immediately.
The third lady of Nangong also regretted it, she couldn't have imagined that Li Qianqian would come up with such a trick.
The Yao family is also very angry, but what can they do? Go and bring Yao Yanwu back now? How to pick it up? Now there must be many people guarding outside the Gaojin Inn, if you go to pick it up now, it will inevitably be exposed.
"What's the matter with you? Didn't you always want your daughter to marry your nephew?"
Mrs. Yao shouted injustice, "I obviously sent someone to watch her, and asked Yan Wei to accompany her." "Wait, Yan Wei, Mrs. Yao remembered, what did Yan Wei tell her after Yan Wu's marriage was set that day? She said, my cousin doesn't like my sister, and the person my cousin likes is me.
Mrs. Yao covered her mouth and didn't dare to say it, but when Mr. Yao looked at his wife's appearance, he only thought that she was weak because he saw that she had let go of her daughter, and his heart became more and more unhappy, and he slapped her hard, which made Mrs. Yao tinnitus ringing.
"Don't tell me you don't know, if you really don't know what she wants to do, why did you send someone to the inn to wait for her?"
"I, don't I feel sorry for my daughter? The good marriage is yellow, and after a few days, we will book her family affairs again, can she be happy? β
Originally, Mrs. Yao was quite worried about her daughter, but later she learned that she had gone to the Gaojin Inn, so she had a different mind.
The grandmother who was sent to wait for her daughter was a grandmother who had retired from the palace, and I heard that it was the emperor's favorite concubine who was waiting for her back then! As long as she taught her daughter how to serve men, and helped her daughter make ideas, how to hold men in the palm of her hand.
Mrs. Yao didn't want to think about it, if this grandmother really had the ability, how could the nobles in the capital let her go to Zedu City, they must have held people firmly in their hands, and they didn't easily allow her to leave Beijing.
Since Yao Yanwu was engaged to the fifth young master of Nangong, Mrs. Yao invited this Gao Mama to wait for her daughter through the relationship, although the introducer told Mrs. Yao that the sky was falling, but Yao Yanwu was stunned and did not see anything clever from Gao Mama.
On the contrary, she saw many shortcomings of Mama Gao, such as exaggerating when she speaks, being greedy for money, loving money, having a big temper, and seemingly speaking slowly and logically, maybe others will misunderstand Mama Gao because of this, but Yao Yanwu only saw Mama Gao's lack of confidence and weakness.
It's just that when she told her mother this, she was scolded by her mother severely.
So when Mama Gao took someone to live in the inn to wait, Yao Yanwu had only one thought, don't make trouble!
Mama Gao turned a blind eye to her protests, and she actively arranged for Yao Yanwu to approach Li Lingxi and Jiang Huazhang and others, Yao Yanwu rejected Mama Gao very much from the bottom of her heart, so she ignored her suggestion.
What Yao Yanwu didn't know was that in addition to arranging for her to get close to Li Lingxi and them, Mama Gao herself tried to get close to Li Qianqian.
It's a pity that Yao Yanwu doesn't listen to her command, and Li Qianqian is not something she can approach if she wants to.
It can be said that Mama Gao's plan is a complete failure!
Just when Mama Gao was planning another plan, she suddenly learned that Li Qianqian was going to entertain guests, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Miss Yanwu, this is your great opportunity!"
Yao Yanwu looked at it coldly, Mama Gao didn't care, as long as Yao Yanwu understood her plan, she would know that her plan was foolproof.
However, because Mama Gao was selfish, she didn't tell her plans in full, Yao Yanwu is not stupid, from Mama Gao's actions in the past two days, she found that this person has selfish thoughts, she doesn't dare to listen to Mama Gao, what if she uses herself as her stepping stone for her own selfishness?
Li Qianqian and the others thought that Miss Yao, as the only one among the three who had someone to wait, should be doing well, but they didn't expect that her complexion was the worst of the three.
Even Miss Tong Er, who learned that her life experience was exposed, looked much better than her.
On the day of the banquet, Li Qianqian took the second miss of Nangong to greet the guests, and the wives and wives who came to the banquet were stunned when they saw the second miss of Nangong and others, but these people were not stupid, their minds turned slightly, and they understood what the second miss of Nangong had in mind!
The heart said that these three people were wishful thinking, but it's a pity! The people who were calculated by them are not stupid, if you want to pretend, then don't blame us for unceremoniously showing them to people.
If you want to use public opinion to force them to comply, then I can tell everyone clearly that these three people didn't tell us their identities at all, and we are their saviors, but it doesn't mean that we have to be responsible for their lives.
If you save someone, you have to be responsible for their future life, then who dares to save people!
That's right, Li Qianqian's statement to the outside world is that she saved a small life for the three of them, probably because of this, they will forget who they are, her wedding date is approaching, it is impossible to stay in Zedu City because of the three of them, but she is not good at bringing them into Beijing, their family can't find them, they must be in a hurry.
After listening to Li Qianqian's words, the ladies who came to the banquet couldn't help but think in their hearts, the third lady of Nangong and Mrs. Yao must very much hope that you will bring their daughter to Beijing like this.
In this way, they can blame you for missing their daughter's marriage date, causing their marriage to change, so as to rely on you for their lifelong affairs, and ask Li Qianqian to give their daughter an explanation.
Li Qianqian is a daughter's family, how to give their daughter an explanation? Naturally, it is to find a good in-law for them!
It's the best! It's to contribute her eldest brother, second brother and third brother, think about it, Li Qianqian's two brothers have the identity of uncles, although the third brother does not, but her father is the Hou Ye, and he has not yet established a son, his brother has a title, and he will definitely not rob him, if he can marry his daughter to him, then it is the future Mrs. Hou!
Although Li Qianqian didn't know how to read minds, the ladies present were so shocked that they forgot to hide their expressions, so that Li Qianqian and the others could know what they were thinking when they looked at their faces!
At the end of the day, the banquet was over, and after sending the guests away, Li Qianqian returned to the hall of the first room of Tianzi, and the whole person was too tired.
"These ladies are more refined than the other, and they all know who the three of them are and whose daughters they are, but in front of me, they are stunned at all. β
Zhang Duoli brought her a cup of hot tea, Li Qianqian took a sip and said, "When I heard me say that I can't take them into Beijing, my eyes lit up, and then I was all testing me, wanting to stuff their daughters or granddaughters to me and ask me to take them into Beijing." β
"Are they stupid? You said that the wedding date is approaching, so there is still time to take care of their children's marriage?" Zhang Duoli snorted.
What a beautiful thing these people think!
"But that's it, they still didn't show their mouths, and told me who Miss Nangong Er and they were, if I hadn't known that they were watching Miss Nangong Er and them grow up, I would have really believed them. β
Li Qianqian felt that dealing with these ladies who talked with nine bends and eighteen turns and traps was really tiring, no wonder people said that if they could do it, they would not be blind, because it was better to talk to these women with heart and soul than to do it directly.
"But we can't help it, we can't beat them up and throw them out. Zhang Duoli comforted Li Qianqian.
"Who said that?" Feng Gongzi snorted coldly, "Let's just say that because no one at the banquet recognized them, it means that they lied to us, they are not from Zedu City, so these ladies will not recognize them, so they are thieves who came to steal the shallow dowry." β
To deal with thieves, the people in the rivers and lakes have the practice of the people in the rivers and lakes, as long as they don't kill or maim people, even the government can't control it, who let the thieves send them to the door to ask for repairs?
Do what you say, strike while the iron is hot!
Not long after the banquet ended, Miss Nangong Er, Yao Yanwu, and the people who were waiting for her, as well as Miss Tong Er, were all beaten and thrown out of the inn.
The shopkeeper of the Gao Jin Inn was frightened by this divine operation, and hurriedly came to the door to inquire.
"Sect Master Li, okay, why did you beat those three young ladies?" and threw them out of the inn?
"Who told them to lie to me? The three of them came to steal something, and when they were caught by my people, they coaxed me, saying that they forgot who they were, but they must be from Zedu City, and they will be able to remember it as long as they rest for a few days, okay! I believed them, and invited the ladies in the city to recognize them, and what happened? The ladies said that they did not know. β
Li Qian said lightly, "Hmph, they still want to stay with me, this is because they want to wait for us to relax, and then wait for the opportunity to steal my dowry! Tell me, such people, I can still keep them by my side?"
What can the shopkeeper say? When he turned around and saw the Third Lady of Nangong and Mrs. Yao, who had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, he didn't have to go to ask the Sect Master to see the guests, and he just sent them away.
I think you are the smartest in the world, and everyone else is a fool who deserves to be played by you? This time, I will also give you a taste of what it is like to be tricked by others. οΌοΌ
