Chapter 286: Gossip
With Murong Hui's crisp and cheerful laughter like a mountain stream, the two sisters couldn't hold it anymore, and their smiles softened on the wide soft couch in the carriage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Thinking of Mama Yu, who was wide and fat, and was like a Maitreya Buddha all day long, she was even more dressed up today, and Murong Wei couldn't help it. She covered her mouth with a fan and giggled: "Mama Yu's posture is more like a housekeeper grandmother than Mama Luo, and no one can tell if it's fake." ”
After laughing for a while, everyone returned to business, and then listened to Mama Luo continue to talk about the matter.
Mama Luo caged her sideburns and said slowly: "That family heard that it was a relative of Lord Chen's house, but they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately came out to welcome the two slaves and maids to go in to drink tea." Haosheng said that Lord Chen's mansion has changed hands several times, and now he does not live here. ”
In the meantime, there was a mother-in-law with a blue silk inlaid jade forehead, who was more rigorous, and asked the two of them carefully: "Since it is Mrs. Chen's maiden family, there must be a young lady who writes the address clearly in the family letter, how come the two old sisters don't know where the old mansion is now?" ”
Mama Yu reacted quickly, patted her thigh and sighed, and said to the housekeeper grandmother: "It's all because the old woman is reckless, and she relied on the early morning to return to Beijing to take this errand of giving gifts and adding joy." ”
Taking a sip of the best incense tablets, Mama Yu said very seriously: "The address was clearly written in the letter of the eldest aunt and grandmother, saying that it was passed by Guishu Hutong and at the end of that Sangyu Hutong. It's all because the old woman is smart, and when she enters the imperial city, she can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south. Because he had some belongings on him, he didn't dare to ask casually, so he got lost when he walked here. ”
Mama Luo picked up the voice, and then complained: "The old sister only said that you are familiar with the imperial city, and said that this laurel tree is still the intersection of the alley of mulberry elm, and the old mansion of the pavilion is everyone, and you will know it when you ask casually, but it is difficult for everyone to run more errands with you." ”
There is no flaw in these words, everyone is from an errand background, and naturally understands the behavior of showing off in front of the master and wanting to be obedient. What's more, to go to Sangyu Hutong, you can only pass in front of Guishu Hutong, there is no other way, and it is not far-fetched to arrive.
At that moment, there was a mother-in-law who enthusiastically persuaded the two to sell the favor of the old mansion. He also sent Xiao Yahuan to fill the tea, and also put some fruits, and waited for Mama Luo and Mama Yu to be extremely enthusiastic: "The old sisters will drink tea and go again, it is still early, and I can't miss to celebrate the birthday of the little son." ”
He Mansion is elegantly cleaned up, in the side hall where the housekeepers and grandmothers live, there are Western self-striking bells on the floor, when it was half an hour, Mama Luo was surprised, and curiously inquired about the identity of the master's family.
When it comes to the main family, the housekeepers and mothers-in-law are extremely cautious, and they have an explanation with the records of the Terracotta Division in the Five Cities, and they can't ask any other hidden information.
It was still the mother-in-law with a forehead on her head who replied, only saying that the lord and the wife are not here now, and there are only two young ladies in this house who are accompanied by the nurse to live temporarily. Because I am not familiar with the place, in addition to going to East Street to pick up some clothes and jewelry, I don't go out of the door on weekdays.
Mama Luo smacked her tongue a little: "Although the old sister doesn't often enter the imperial city, she also knows that Guishu Hutong is full of big families. If you don't live in such a good house, your main family is really not an ordinary person. ”
It seems that after hearing too many such words, a mother-in-law took it naturally: "Although the lord's family is richer, it is the life of toil." At the end of April, I came to buy a lot of silk cloth, and at the end of May I returned to Tianjin Wei. On another trip, it was about September, and I came to sell some official salt and buy cloth for the winter. ”
Mama Luo originally asked the housekeepers and mothers-in-law, since the main family did not come easily, why did they buy this huge mansion to be idle. The mother-in-law didn't say anything at first, but when she saw the purse sent by Mama Luo, she revealed that this was probably the place where the main family's golden house was hidden, and Tianjin Wei didn't know about it.
If Tianjin Wei has suspicions, he will only go to Rouge Hutong to find people, and he will not be able to find Guishu Hutong, where the eunuchs live.
I was afraid that I would be suspicious of the convenience of talking too much, so the two grandmothers got up and said goodbye after drinking tea. The other party was very attentive, and described the old site of the Shilang Mansion in detail, and then sent Mama Luo and the others straight to the door, and took a look at the three or four cars and horses parked at the mouth of the alley.
Fortunately, I am from Jane today, there is no trace of royal imprint on the whole body, and the mother-in-law of that family can not see the clue left and right, and broke up with Mama Luo and Mama Yu with a smile.
In the carriage, Mama Luo thought for a moment, but then narrated: "The furnishings in that house are gorgeous, but there are two strange places. A little girl's rules have not been learned well, and there is obviously a lack of training. There are two mothers-in-law in the house, but they are very particular, looking at the family of the eunuchs, and the businessmen do not have this bearing. ”
For a concubine to be so thoughtful, he spent a lot of money to buy the mansion in Guishu Hutong, which cannot be believed in any way. It was those mothers-in-law who deceived Mama Luo and Mama Yu that were outsiders who didn't know, so they opened their mouths, in fact, how can there be any rouge alleys in this imperial city?
The only thing that is certain is that I bought this place to be quiet. The deep house compound covers people's eyes and ears, but do you know that there are no unsightly acts?
"What is the other one?" Murong Wei straightened up, and there was some solemnity between her eyebrows.
"There is another one, the woman led the slaves and maids in and out, and the slaves and maids clearly remembered that they crossed a small bridge and arrived at the side hall, and the scenery was different when they went, and they all entered and exited from the main gate, but the door became a bamboo forest path."
Because she was by the side of the Queen Mother when she was young, Mama Luo also had some extraordinary knowledge.
She pondered the words and said to Murong Wei: "The bamboo forest is covered, the path is tortuous, although there are flowers as decorations, the slave and maid look at the deployment of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, but unfortunately I don't understand it." ”
The ordinary mansion is actually laid out according to the direction of the nine palace gossip, and there is a suspicion that there are no three hundred taels of silver here. Because her sister was on the side, Murong Wei didn't have to say much, she praised Mama Luo's carefulness, kept the irregularities in mind one by one, and planned to find a time to discuss it with Xia Yuzhi, Wen Wan and others.
The carriage turned around, crossed Guishu Hutong, and arrived at my aunt's house in a short time.
The old Shilang's Mansion is at the end of Sangyu Hutong, and the plaque of the past has been replaced, and now it is the word Chen Mansion written by Chen Rujun, vigorous and unrestrained.
Although the old mansion is not publicized, there are still people who pinch their fingers and count the days to congratulate them.
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Murong Lingshui came to Tutun, and took his two daughters in and out to entertain the wives of several ministers of the court, among which was the long-sleeved and good dancing Mrs. Sticky, the long-sleeved and good dancer of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, left and right, and a clever mouth amused everyone, and the scene was very lively.
