Before Hao Cheng left, the matter of the Qiao family had already been settled.
The city lord of Mingzhou City has changed his position, but the streets are still bustling, and each has its own liveliness.
Only after the people have tea and dinner will they hear someone discussing the affairs of the Qiao family, and most of them regard the affairs of the Qiao family as a joke.
A female voice knocked on the tea melon seeds, shook her legs and said: "I have long said that Qiao Cheng is not strict in governing the family, and this time I heard that it was committed at the hands of her daughter." Speaking of which, City Lord Qiao is still a good official, it's a pity. ”
The other snorted: "What a good official, what a good official, he will be so careless about people's lives." You don't know, she's done a lot of dirty things. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, her three children are not good things, how good can her nature be. Especially that Qiao Yu, who is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, is all messing with the female monarchs. It's still everyone's son, tsk......"
"You!" When Qiao Shu heard this, he wanted to rush out and beat the broken mouth, but Qiao Yu grabbed her and persuaded: "Eldest sister, let's not make trouble, when the time comes, I will add a crime to my mother." ”
Although he was also angry, in just a few days, he had seen too many people walking away from tea. It's good if these people don't fall into the ground, and he doesn't feel that there is anything in the way if they only say a few words of gossip.
The Qiao family got into a carriage that was not very large, followed by one or two small servants. Although it is not particularly miserable, it is really very shabby compared to the previous glory.
This scene happened to fall in the eyes of Hao Cheng, who was standing by the window, she looked down and was distracted, and the white steward looked at her and saw her vision wandering, and pulled her attention back with a voice: "The owner!" Did you just hear that?! ”
Hao Cheng came back to his senses and waved his hand: "You go on." ”
The white steward continued to report: "This month's income is ......"
After she said a few words, Hao Cheng interrupted her: "Butler Bai, you say, is the Qiao family ......?"
She wanted to say something, but the white steward didn't need her to understand it to know what she meant. She glanced outside, shook her body, cleared her throat and said, "Don't think too much about the owner, as an official, as an official, as long as he is in a higher position, how can he not have a sworn enemy." My master is just for your business, and I went to the house of the envoy of Jiedu. The rest of the things were not done much, and the rest of the things were naturally done by the opponent of the Qiao family. Besides, they did the wrong thing first, and there is nothing to be sympathized with. ”
is in a high position, which one has no black material. It's okay that you can't catch the exact evidence on weekdays, but as soon as the big basket comes out, the other party is determined to firmly seize the opportunity to step on you desperately. In fact, there are many dynasties and generations of imperial examination fraud, and it is inevitable to take care of this kind of thing secretly.
is like being the head of the court, without her personal orders, the people below will do things according to her likes and dislikes. offended the actions of the powerful people of the dynasty, no matter how talented he was, he would also be famous. But who made Qiao Shan not powerful and offended people who shouldn't be offended.
The white steward paused and said, "Besides, no one in their family died. You see that Qiao Shan was announced so many crimes, but she was only sentenced to be stripped of her official position, exiled to the border, and banned from entering the court as an official for life. If she had caught up with the palace for some great event, she might have been pardoned and would have returned in a few years. ”
Hao Cheng sighed: "I just think that the Qiao family was so beautiful in the past, but now it is so forbearing." The world is hot and cold, if I am like the Qiao family one day, maybe it will be worse than them, and I will inevitably sigh. ”
The white steward explained her and said: "People go to tea and cool, it's like this." A philanthropic person like the proprietor will definitely be a good official in the future, and when the time comes, he will be loved by all the people, and he will definitely go down in history. ”
Hao Cheng was silent, and she said again: "I heard that the Zhengjun of the Qiao family will take Qiao Gongzi and them back to his father's house, I heard that Qiao Gongzi's grandfather's family is also a big family, presumably the glory and wealth can still be kept." If you want to see that Qiao Gongzi every day, you can also marry him back home and take good care of him. After all, he is a beauty, and he must have been much more restrained after this catastrophe. ”
Hao Cheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't make fun of me, this is enough for your master to listen to, and it is enough for you to eat a pot." ”
The white steward immediately lowered his face and begged for mercy: "Good boss, don't tell your master this, otherwise he will pull out my tongue!" ”
Hao Cheng was amused by her bitter expression, and his mood relaxed: "It's done, how can Meng Zhen be as terrifying as you say, and he is not a cow ghost and snake god." Report well, I'm leaving in a few days, and I'll have to worry about you taking care of it here. ”
When Hao Cheng said this, he naturally wouldn't sue. The white steward immediately put on a relieved face. She didn't think much of Hao Cheng's words, if she really offended Jiang Mengzhen, it would be more terrible than pulling out her tongue.
But she wouldn't say this in front of Hao Cheng, she wasn't the only one in this building who was Jiang Mengzhen. If the matter of sowing discord is accused to Jiang Mengzhen, she will not have a good time for the rest of her life.
The white steward said that the affairs of the Qiao family were easy, but if Qiao Yu returned to his grandfather's house, after all, he would be under the fence, and it must be impossible to live as happily as before. But as far as she is concerned, Qiao Yu or Qiao Mu is just a hurried passer-by in her life after all.
After Hao Cheng packed up his baggage and began to go to the capital, Jiang Mengzhen had already gone to the Wei family's mansion to start preparing for the marriage. Old Man Wei heard that Jiang Meng was really going to get married, and he was looking for a young and handsome scholar.
Old lady Wei got the exact news from elsewhere, the scholar has no father and no mother, although the family background is not good, but he will definitely only marry Jiang Mengzhen, and he is in love with Jiang Mengzhen, and he was so angry that he fainted on the spot.
His nephew Chu Hanqing was so frightened that he hurriedly went to ask for a doctor, and guarded him for another night, before waiting for Old Lady Wei to wake up leisurely.
The old lady had a handkerchief wet with ice water on her head, first looked around, and ordered Chu Hanqing to drive out those little servants.
Chu Hanqing did as he instructed, and hurriedly brought a glass of water to Old Lady Wei: "You dissipate your anger, drink saliva to moisten your throat first." ”
Old Lady Wei drank three glasses of water in a row, and finally made the burning throat feel more comfortable, and said weakly: "I thought that the poisonous man was going to harm me, but he left." I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but now I know that he is going to get married, can I not be angry? ”
Chu Hanqing comforted him and said, "Isn't it a good thing that my cousin-in-law is getting married?" If you don't see him in the future, you will be the master of the house in this house. ”
He also couldn't figure out what his distant cousin thought, he obviously hated Jiang Meng so much that he was going to die, but he didn't want others to leave.
The old lady said indignantly: "What do you know? The poisonous man wants to marry someone, and he must not empty our family's property. If he is allowed to remarry, how will I face the ancestors of my Wei family after I die, and how will I have the face to see my poor Nan'er! ”
He struggled to get up, and Chu Hanqing hurriedly put a soft cushion behind him: "You go and get me a pen and paper, I want to write a letter, this marriage, I want him to be unmarried!" What kind of scholar does he want to marry, it's almost the same to marry a beggar! ”
He thought about it, he couldn't move Jiang Mengzhen, so he killed his little lover. became the reputation of his wife, and his body was not as good as before. He figured it out, since he couldn't hold it, he would have a big one. If you go out and do it, you will be killed by Jiang Mengzhen's poisonous husband afterwards, and that will make the poisonous man suffer for a lifetime.
This can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of the Wei family and his poor daughter.
After Mrs. Wei wrote the letter, she also stamped her own private seal on it, folded it carefully, sealed it with wax oil, and then asked Chu Hanqing to take it.
He lowered his voice and ordered: "You take this letter with you, and in a few days you will say that it is to pray for me and go to the incense." Then go to Fukuenji Temple to find the host and give her this letter. She knows how to do it. ”
Chu Hanqing stretched out his hand to take the letter, but Old Lady Wei was afraid that he was not cautious enough, so he took the letter back and said, "You must do this well." When the time comes, I will have your benefits, don't you like the daughter of the loyal and diligent uncle's family. ”
He paused: "You are also worth it, I have a deep friendship with her father and let you be a husband, but it is okay to be a side husband." When the time comes, you will marry, and I will add you a rich dowry, which can be regarded as a whole of your filial piety. ”
The temptation was enough, and he coerced again: "If it doesn't work out, this matter will be stabbed to Jiang Mengzhen's poisonous man, I will definitely be fine, but you can't eat and walk around, what to do about this matter, you should know." ”
Chu Hanqing has served him for many years, and he entered the mansion when Wei Yanan was still alive, for so many years, he has suffered a lot of grievances under Jiang Mengzhen's hands, and he still has special trust in this distant nephew. Especially in the past few years, he has become even more attached to Chu Hanqing, and he is still a little reluctant to marry this person after the matter is completed.
Chu Hanqing nodded and said cautiously: "Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely do this thing well." ”
The old lady looked satisfied, but the letter still didn't go out: "This letter will be placed here for the time being, I am afraid that your residence will be checked, when the time comes, you go to pray for blessings, and come back to get the letter before leaving." ”
Chu Hanqing nodded in agreement, and after a while, he got up and went out. The next day, he really followed the old lady's instructions and proposed to go to Fuyuan Temple to pray for the sick old lady.
Jiang Mengzhen stared at him for a long time, he was drenched in cold sweat, and interrogated a few words in front of Old Lady Wei, but Old Lady Wei couldn't stand it, so she helped Chu Hanqing talk a lot, and lost her temper, Jiang Mengzhen was relieved.
Chu Hanqing's reaction still made Old Lady Wei dissatisfied, but he really didn't have anyone available in his hands. Chu Hanqing just went to deliver a letter, and let others do the big thing, thinking that after the matter was completed, Jiang Meng's reaction showed a smile on his face, his wrinkles were soothed a little, and even his cloudy eyes became clear. 166 Reading Network
