Chapter 155: Discovery
In the past, when Queen Qin got married, she married a few big girls. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info these big girls have accompanied her through the seclusion of the captivity, and also watched her mother in the world. In addition to the two who died in the captivity period, one died of illness in the Nianhui Nunnery, and one of the Canans was delusional and did something bad for the emperor to deal with, the remaining four people are still practicing in the Nianhui Nunnery, chanting scriptures and praying for the late Queen Qin.
The emperor is also very concerned about the henchmen around these wives, and from time to time he will reward Nian Hui'an, and occasionally when he is free, he will personally go to chat with them and miss his deceased wife. He even allowed the four maids to see their families regularly to comfort their longing for their families.
The four palace people are all sons of the Qin family, and now their family members and friends are still serving in the Qin family. Because they all made contributions to Empress Qin, and became nuns after Empress Qin's death, they gave up the opportunity to marry and have children, and they were loyal. Therefore, the wife of the Chengenhou Mansion, Xu, has always been kind to their family, not to mention the lack of food and clothing, and the errands arranged are very good.
With this reason, when the family was separated, the Xu family naturally kept an eye on it, and never divided the families of the four palace people into the second room, so as not to let the people in the second room not know the importance and treat them badly. However, among the three heads of the Qin family, the long house and the second room lived together for many years, and they did not separate until last year. In normal times, this little thing is naturally not a problem. But when the Xue family has selfishness, this is a ready-made loophole.
Among the four palace people, there is a layman whose name is originally called Yu Jin, and now her legal name is Huihe, and she is a well-known filial daughter among the sons of the Qin family. Because she was confined to the palace with Empress Qin and missed the death of her father and eldest brother, she always felt that she couldn't live with her family, and she took special care of her mother and younger siblings. Empress Qin died, Yu Jin went out of the palace with other palace people, stayed in Nianhui Nunnery to pray for Empress Qin, and it was also because she couldn't let go of her mother, so she specially asked for grace and asked the emperor to allow her and her family to see each other occasionally, so as to benefit the other three. If it weren't for the fact that several of them had accompanied the emperor and the empress to endure hardships in the East Palace for a few years, the emperor also trusted them very much, and he would not have asked for such a grace. After all, leaving home means that the six relatives are cut off, where can we talk about what can't let go of the family?
Yujin's wife died of illness last year, and the most reassuring thing before her death was the younger brother in the family, who repeatedly told her children to take good care of her little uncle. But Yujin's little uncle is a lazy character by nature, drinking and gambling with people all day long, and he is not good at errands, and he is still a single man when he is old. Yu Jin's younger brother and sister-in-law worked hard to successfully marry a daughter-in-law for him, but he even relied on his nephews and nieces to support his wife and children. As the main family, although the Chengenhou Mansion is very generous to the families of several people in the old palace, the scope of favor is also limited. Since this person is only Yujin's maternal relative, he is naturally not counted. Therefore, even if he had a decent niece, he only got a job as a cleaner in the stable, with little monthly money, hard work, and a preference for drinking and gambling, and often lacking money in his hands.
His daughter-in-law was the daughter of a servant couple in the second room. Xue's side spoke, and it didn't take long for his subordinates to find this person's head, and with only a hundred taels of silver, they successfully persuaded him to go to see Yu Jin and stuff Huang Yiqiu into Nianhui Nunnery.
The days of seeing relatives over there in Nianhui'an are once a quarter according to the rules, and there is still a month left in this season, and you can't see people until next month. The Xue family used a scheming to transfer Yujin's little uncle to the second room, which also saved this person from receiving the money and not doing anything, and after losing all the one hundred taels of silver, he turned his face and refused to admit it, or the lion opened his mouth and asked for more money.
However, if the Xue family proposed to transfer people when they were separating, it would of course be a matter of one sentence, and it couldn't be easier. The long room is not so stingy that even a lazy stableman refuses to give it to the second room. But now that nearly a year has passed since the separation, seeing that the second room is about to move away, the Xue family has only one more room of family, and they are not some diligent and capable servants, how can there be no doubt about the long room? The steward at the bottom immediately reported to the Yao family, Yao wondered in his heart, and asked carefully, and learned that the family members of the house usually behaved in a strange way.
She discussed privately with her confidant Yulan: "What does the second wife want the Ma Gang family to do in the past? What is there about this family that deserves her attention? Could it be that the second room used to ask this family to do something bad in our long room, and now they want to transfer people away?"
Although Yulan is her confidant, she is mainly in charge of the keys on weekdays, and she is not so clear about the personnel in the house, so she called Yulian to ask. Yulian knew the most about personnel matters, and when she heard it, she said: "This stableman seems to be Nianhui'an's Mama Yujin...... Ah, it's Mrs. Huihe's own uncle, the most lazy and useless character, and he likes to eat and drink and gamble. The housekeeper let him go to the stable to work in the stables because of the presence of his wife and her younger brother, who was a little housekeeper. In fact, he is often lazy on weekdays, but he is just a white-collar worker. As long as he doesn't make trouble, others will turn a blind eye. ”
When she said this, Yao also remembered it, and sneered: "That is, Mrs. is kind-hearted, so she will treat them so kindly." If it were me, depending on whose uncle he was, those who refused to do things would not occupy their seats in vain and get in the way of those who were serious and willing to do things!"
After scolding twice, Yao frowned again: "What is the idea that the second room wants this couple? Why do I think this is a little weird? Recently, the second room has been acting more and more incomprehensibly." suddenly said that he was going to move out, and took the so-called distant relatives of the house into the house. I heard that it was a relative, and I went to ask, if it is really a relative and friend, we can't neglect others in the long house. But the second wife just refused to say which family it was, and asked the eldest sister-in-law, who was also helpless, and sent the person out directly the next day, and heard that she rented another house in the city to settle down. It's so sneaky, it's really unpleasant!"
Yulan smiled: "If grandma doesn't want to give someone to the second room, she will refuse the second wife." The family has been divided, who would ask someone else's family for no reason? The second wife didn't even mention the amount of money. It's just one and a half times, a few more times, where is there still someone in our long house?"
Yulian also said: "The slave maid will call someone to inquire again? ”
Yao asked her, "Can you really find out?"
Yulian punched the package ticket: "It will definitely be possible, grandma doesn't have to worry." The stable's daughter-in-law was a broken mouth, and any secret matter that came to her mouth could be known to everyone. It only takes a small amount of money to find out what they are doing!"
Yulian really deserves to be one of Yao's henchmen, she played the package ticket, and she did what she said. In less than two days, she brought back the answer: "The second wife seems to want to catch up with Huihe Shitai and ask Shitai to help her do something." The daughter-in-law didn't know the details, but only vaguely heard her man mention it after drinking, as if she was going to send someone into Nianhui Nunnery. ”
Yao couldn't help frowning: "Who is she going to send into the nunnery?
Yulian shook her head, she really couldn't inquire about this, and the stable's daughter-in-law didn't seem to know.
At this time, Qin Jian came to her mother's house and wanted to tell her something, and when she heard a few words, she came and asked, "What's wrong?"
Since Qin Jian accompanied the prince from Jinling back to the capital, gained face in front of the emperor and made meritorious contributions, his status in the family has been very different. Although Yao felt that his son was still young, he was willing to ask his opinion in case of trouble, so he told him about the important person in the second room.
Qin Jian frowned, remembering the letter from Zhao Mo that he had received the day before yesterday, and said, "Since I left Jinling, I don't know what happened later. Guanglu wrote to me and told me what had happened, but there were still some things that I didn't understand enough, so I wrote to him to ask for more details. His steward sent a batch of tea from Hangzhou to Datong beforehand, and after getting the silver, he bought a few more things and sent them back to Beijing to honor his father. I got one from the third room, and I have one here, and I also have a letter written to me by Guanglu in it, and I said something about it......"
He paused: "Aunt Keyong of the old family once mentioned that she had a niece who was a bit like the queen's mother, and if she could be sent to the palace, she would definitely be able to win the emperor's favor." Aunt Keyong had no way, so she took the uncle and grandmother in the second room. A few days ago, I heard that there were guests in the second room, sneakily avoiding people, so I suspected that Aunt Keyong's niece was coming. They are a side branch of the Huang family, but they want to violate the ancestral teachings of the Huang family, no wonder they want to avoid people, just for fear of being recognized. ”
Yao's eyes widened: "What did you say?!Huang family...... The Huang family wants to send a woman to the palace?!"
Qin Jian snorted: "It's just a little selfishness of Aunt Keyong." Uncle Jin Cheng of the Huang family also knew about it, and he wanted to intervene and tell the cousin named Huang Yiqiu about a family matter, but who knew that the Huang family didn't appreciate it, and only listened to the mercy of his aunt. Their family went to Beijing privately after the New Year, and they still used their uncle's travel expenses. The third uncle and uncle Jin Cheng seemed to be very annoyed, and they had already informed the Huang family in the capital. The third uncle should have also written a letter to his father, didn't his mother hear his father mention it?"
Yao frowned and said, "When Jinling wrote before, your father once mentioned it to me, but he didn't say the details of the letter, so he must have not taken it to heart?"
Yao's face turned black with anger: "This thing must not be done in the second room! What kind of place is Nianhui Nunnery? It was specially built to pray for the queen's mother! Dare to offer beauty under the eyes of the queen's mother, the second room is really crazy! What do they think of the queen's mother?!"
The Yao family immediately ordered someone to send a letter to Qin Zhonghai in the yamen, and he must go home as soon as possible to negotiate a charter to see how to stop the conspiracy of the second room. Qin Jian quietly slipped out of the Shengyi Residence where his parents lived and walked in the direction of the mansion.
For such an important matter, of course he had to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Whether it's the second room or the side branch of the Huang family, they have a plan and are always unguardable. But there are some things, if the palace refuses to agree, no matter how outsiders operate, it will be in vain......
Thanks to his friend Zhao Mo's reminder, otherwise he wouldn't have guessed what tricks the second room was going to play. For the sake of the Qin family, for the sake of the Chengenhou Mansion, it is time for him, the heir, to make a move.
