Chapter 544: Closing the Net
The original Nie Jinliang also wanted his sister to think of a way to see if any of the relatives of the Wei family could help, and after hearing that the Wei family sent the Wei family's concubine Runiang to the Dingwang Mansion as a concubine, he suddenly felt that it was a godsend.
If we talk about the doorway of this border transaction, who can compare to the king? If there is positioning support, what kind of goods cannot enter and exit freely, it is simply a source of money.
Nie Jinliang couldn't help pinning all his hopes on the family affairs of his sister's family, but seeing that things were not as smooth as he imagined, he couldn't help but get anxious, the Wei family and the Zhu family could plan slowly, but he couldn't, his goods couldn't be put away for a long time, he had to sell them as soon as possible, and exchange them for silver, otherwise the goods would rot and the capital chain would be broken.
Therefore, Nie Jinliang instigated his sister to make trouble with Webster.
This Nie family was hot-headed at the time, so he really went, now he calmed down and thought about it, he felt that he was being used by his own brother, and there was also a gap between their brothers and sisters, it was Nie Jinliang who instigated his father to marry her into the Wei family as a continuation, she was a good girl's family, naturally looking forward to marrying a handsome young man of the same age, but she married a man who was more than ten years older than her, and had a lot of children.
She will have no choice in the face of Wei for a while, but she can deal with Nie Jinliang.
Seeing that his sister didn't speak for a long time, Nie Jinliang thought that the situation was serious, and urged: "What did you say...... Forget it, it doesn't matter now. You hurry up and make amends for her, and lower your posture. ”
After Nie Shi quickly thought about it, he said slowly: "Brother, if you offend someone, say sorry, and people can treat it as if nothing happened, and still be amiable? Even if you are a beggar on the street, if you scold him, it is not an apology that will be fine." ”
"You, aren't you hurting me?" Nie Jinliang beat his chest a little.
"My brother said this. Why do you want me to harm you?" Nie Shi pinched his handkerchief. pressed the sweat that was not there at all on his sideburns, and said, "You came up with the idea to let me go to Webster, right? But I told you that on weekdays, too. Merriam-Webster's person. My brother traveled north and south and had a wide range of knowledge, while my sister was a little confused. I will only listen to my brother's words, but now that something has happened, my brother wants to get rid of it?
When it comes to tongue skills, Nie Jinliang, who was born in a businessman, is really a little worse than the Nie family who came out of the struggle in the inner house, and he was speechless at once, so he could only ask each other softly, "Sister, my brother is wrong, my brother shouldn't let you come out like this, after all, we are a family, you can't watch your mother's family being angry, right?"
Nie Jinliang actually still has some understanding of the women of the Wei family, holding grudges is the characteristic of the women of the Wei family, he still remembers that when the little sister first got married, he was a little disrespectful to the sister-in-law of the Wei family, at that time, Zhu Zhifeng, who was married to the Wei family, was a six-grade petty official, the little sister said a few sarcastic words during the banquet, Wei didn't say anything at the time, turned his head and didn't know what way to go, and deducted a batch of fruits that the Nie family had just transported into the city.
The Nie family struggled to turn around, only then did they find out that it was actually Wei's hands and feet, and they were angry, and the Zhu family's Wei's questioned, Wei's didn't even let them in, and only asked people to hand out a sentence, saying that her husband was just a sesame mung bean official, how could he embarrass the Nie family, who was rich and powerful?
This kind of thing was inquired about, and there was no solid evidence that it was instructed by Webster, and the Nie family suffered a dumb loss, and they were stunned to see that a whole boatload of fresh fruit was so rotten and there was no place to reason.
After this incident, Nie no longer dared to take Qiao in front of Wei, and Weishi was not going to be unreasonable and bully, after she bowed down and did a small period of time, Weishi reciprocated and helped the Nie family a little favor, which can be regarded as making up for this loss.
How much is it a young thing, at that time, it was probably because Webster was young and vigorous, and he couldn't cultivate at home, and then Webster was much more tactful, and everyone gradually forgot about it.
However, the nature of the country is easy to change, and Webster has always had revenge.
Nie Jinliang understood Nie's hint, didn't he just ask for money?
Now only by breaking the fortune and avoiding disaster, otherwise this Webster, or rather, his sister will not swallow this dumb loss.
Nie Jinliang endured the pain in his flesh, went home and handed over 10,000 taels of silver tickets to Nie, and asked Nie to pick a few things that Wei liked and send them over, which was regarded as an apology.
After that, Nie Jinliang felt bad about himself, he knew in his heart that how many of the 10,000 taels of silver tickets could be delivered to Wei's hands, and his sister was also a goose who plucked her feathers and asked for money.
That night, Nie Jinliang rested at one of his concubines, tossing and turning all night and couldn't sleep, so the concubine asked him what was wrong.
Nie Jinliang should vent, and told the concubine what happened, if it is to deal with a woman, it has to be a woman, then the concubine also has a lot of ghost ideas, his eyes rolled, and he immediately gave Nie Jinliang an idea......
Within a few days, the streets and alleys of Yancheng spread that a certain second-grade member of the DPRK and China was shameless, and in order to cling to the powerful, he gave his wife's niece as a singer to a certain magnate.
This kind of true or false news does not dare to name names, and one thing comes out in a few days, that is, the little people laugh a few words, and no one takes it seriously, after all, this has nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people, at most, a few sour shows criticize the shamelessness of this second-class master.
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, this kind of thing is laughed at by others, and no one takes it seriously, but Zhu Zhifeng, who is the party concerned, is different, when he learned about this rumor that was regarded as a joke from his colleagues, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this is what he is most worried about
Although the rumors are exaggerated, but in general, it is still somewhat true, it is a fact that the wife sent her niece to the Dingwang Mansion, although it is not the first singer, but this nameless and partless singer is not much different from the singer.
In a hurry, Zhu Zhifeng hurriedly found Webster and asked her to find a way to settle the matter as soon as possible. Either let King Ding determine her name, or take her niece out, as long as the person is not in King Ding's Mansion, this rumor is not true.
Wei's face was bitter, and he could only bite the bullet and go to the palace again.
This time, the Shangding Mansion seems to be a little different from before.
It's still the flower hall last time, but the maids and women around Princess Ding are twice as many as last time, lined up, all of them are very serious, and they invisibly set off a momentum.
Webster secretly complained. It seems that this princess is also prepared. Today's things are not simple and good.
But no matter what, what should be said is still to be said, Webster stubbornly said a polite word first: "I haven't seen you for many days, the princess has always been good?"
"It's fine. Su Yiqing's words were very indirect. It is to put an end to Webster's heart of pulling things around. She didn't bother to go around in circles with Merriam-Webster.
"I wonder if my niece Runiang is okay?" Merriam-Webster asked. He added, "My sister-in-law misses her daughter very much. ”
Su Yiqing didn't answer, just held the teacup. Gently pluck the tea leaves with the lid.
The green vine next to him stepped forward and said, "If your mother is doing well in the house, please don't worry about it." ”
Let a subordinate talk to the guest, obviously looking down on this guest, Wei Xungui was born in a noble family, the most particular about the rules, and he was very angry at the moment, but he looked at the posture of the maid behind the princess, and he didn't dare to attack, so he only held back his anger and said: "Speaking of which, Runiang has been in the palace for a while, and she hasn't returned to her mother's house for a long time, I don't know if the princess can be gracious and let Runiang go home to see her mother." ”
"Mrs. Zhu, how can we make the princess answer this?" Lu Teng said with a smile, "Madame doesn't know yet, the palace has the rules of the palace, and the girl who enters the palace can't go out at will, this is the rule, it's not easy to break, otherwise there are so many people in the palace, this one will go back to her parents' house today, and this one will go out for a walk tomorrow, what other rules are there, do you say yes?"
Wei Shi was angry, she had never been insulted like this in her life, let a maid talk to her, but she couldn't have a seizure in the Dingwang Mansion, and she disdained to talk to a maid, so she gave her maid Xiaoyu a look.
Xiaoyu comprehended, also stepped forward, and said with a smile: "This sister, the rules are dead, people are alive, there is always a way to have both, right?"
Green vine said: "Our prince is the leader of the troops, and he must strictly enforce military law in the barracks, and he must not break the rules at will." ”
In terms of momentum, Xiaoyu is far inferior to Green Vine, looking at Green Vine like this, she can't speak, and she is even more afraid that she will say something wrong, and Wei will be angry with her later, so she doesn't dare to say more.
Wei Shi looked at Su Yiqing, who was drinking tea as if he had nothing to do, and gritted his teeth with hatred, isn't she just a lowly concubine? As soon as she flew up to the branch, she became angry, and she didn't even listen to the words of her elders.
Without waiting for Wei Shi to say anything, Su Yiqing put down the teacup, stood up and said, "Since Mrs. Zhu is concerned about her niece, Green Vine, you can lead Mrs. Zhu to meet Runiang." ”
After saying this, Su Yiqing didn't wait for what Wei Shi was saying, turned around and left, the maid and woman beside her followed her, and the flower hall was empty all of a sudden, leaving only Mrs. Zhu's master and servant and the green vine.
With just the right amount of respectful expression, Lu Teng said, "Mrs. Zhu, please." ”
Webster couldn't, he couldn't just throw his sleeves and leave now, so he had to follow behind the green vine.
Seeing the master and servant of Runiang, Green Vine excused themselves to let their aunt and nephew talk well, so they left first.
As soon as the green vine left, Wei Shi eagerly asked Ru Niang: "Ru Niang, you have been like the palace for so long, do you have ...... See King Ding?"
Runiang shook her head, "Auntie, I haven't seen the prince. ”
Mo'er next to her pouted and said, "I haven't seen the prince, except for the mother-in-law who guards the door and the maid green vine, our young lady basically hasn't seen outsiders." ”
In this way, although Wei Shi was already mentally prepared, he still felt disappointed, so he said: "Runiang, you haven't mentioned it to the princess...... I mean, since you have entered the palace, you are the person who has set the palace, and you should go over to the princess sooner or later to say goodbye. ”
Runiang lowered her head and said, "The princess didn't let me go over to say goodbye." ”
"If the princess didn't say it, wouldn't you take the initiative to bring it up?" Wei's hates that iron does not become steel, this Runiang is good-looking, but she is a little wooden, she doesn't know how to be flexible, when she enters the palace, she should do everything possible to see the prince, how can someone just leave herself in the small courtyard and ignore it?
Runiang lowered her head, as if she was reprimanded by her grandmother on weekdays, and only listened respectfully.
Or Mo'er said: "The slave maid also persuaded Miss, but Miss...... This can't be blamed on Miss, the people in the palace deliberately let Miss fend for herself in this small courtyard, Miss can't go out of the courtyard at all, and she can't ask for anything. ”
"Then you're going to let them do this?" said Merriam-Webster, "and if they let you stay, are you really honest?"
Mo'er glanced at Ru Niang and didn't dare to say anything.
She is not so honest, but she is just a little maid, the palace is so big, occasionally sneaking out, she can't tell the difference between southeast and west, and she was caught by the mother-in-law in charge again and reprimanded for a long time.
was also frightened that if there is a next time, it will be dealt with by family law, and the so-called family law will be punished.
In this way, Mo'er did not dare to move.
As for the young lady, like a noodle person, she let others rub her rounds and flatten them without saying a word.
"That's not going to work. Wei said, "Runiang, you have to fight, either to pour tea for the princess to determine the name, or ...... Just go home. ”
Runiang lowered her head and said, "Everything is under my aunt's orders." ”
What do you mean to listen to my orders, Webster is even more dissatisfied.
In the blink of an eye, she thought that there seemed to be something wrong with this, if she really wanted to annoy Princess Ding, wouldn't she make a feud with Dingwangfu and send it in by herself, hoping to get through the door of Dingwangfu, let Dingwang exert a force in her husband's official position, and let her husband rush up, but not with Dingwangfu.
If Ru Niang makes a fuss, she will leave the house like that, Princess Ding will definitely not be happy, even if she is the king, she will also feel that she has been swept away, and when the time comes, she will be angry with the Zhu family, won't the Zhu price family get into trouble?
Wei Shi thought of the appearance of the princess, and intuitively felt that this princess was not easy to mess with, why was she so careless last time, thinking that she was a person with a soft personality, and forced her to accept Runiang.
It's good to be in such a dilemma now.
If Ru Niang is forcibly taken back, it is equivalent to losing the face of the palace, but if Ru Niang is not taken back, there will be rumors outside, and there will definitely be good people who will find out about the Zhu family, and then attack their husbands by this matter.
Civil officials want to be famous the most, and if they want to lose the reputation of sending their niece as a concubine, the future of their husbands will definitely be damaged, and now they are not only sending their nieces as concubines, but if they really have no reputation, it is equivalent to giving away the niece as a singer, which is even more serious.
