Chapter 29: Family Disputes (I)
The sound of the horses' hooves gradually slowed down, and the pear vortex had a premonition that it was coming, and she lifted the small window of the car, and looked out through it, and saw a long high wall, and several green vines stretched out of the courtyard, and she could hear the birdsong coming from inside.
The whole road is paved with marble, quiet and tidy, there is no one, the pear vortex poked his head out of the window slightly, and saw two squatting, lifelike unicorns not far ahead, and the gate of the Tang Mansion was in front.
The coachman stopped his horse, got out of the cart, and dragged the horse forward. This is the rule of the capital, and anyone who passes through the mansion of an official of the third rank or higher must dismount and walk slowly.
The man led the horse away for a while, and then said outside the curtain: "The Tang Mansion has arrived, and the two of you can come down." ”
Xuanyuan Jimo slowly opened his eyes, held his breath and concentrated, calming down the mana around him, and then lifted the curtain and walked out of the car, Xuanyuan Jimo looked at the gate of the Tang Mansion, which seemed to be even more magnificent than before.
He turned around and opened the curtain again, the pear vortex walked out, the two got out of the car, Xuanyuan Jimo noticed that there was also a carriage opposite, and out of the carriage came a middle-aged woman with a figure like a girl, who was helped out of the carriage by the clever maid beside her, and the maid said: "Madam, be careful." ”。
Xuanyuan Jimo continued to move forward, and just happened to meet this noble lady, Xuanyuan Jimo saw that the person was full of momentum, and his demeanor revealed nobility, so he guessed that it was someone close to the Tang Mansion, so he took the initiative to salute.
The lady saw that Xuanyuan Jimo's attitude was modest and respectful, and her face was a lot more pleasant, but she still didn't say a word, she also nodded politely to Xuanyuan Jimo, and walked towards the gate of the Tang Mansion.
Xuanyuan Jimo suddenly realized, this is Mrs. Su, that is, the mother of Tang Meier, the first favorite concubine of the dynasty, Xuanyuan Jimo saw that her whole body was dressed luxuriously, and he was even more certain.
That Mrs. Su entered the Tang Mansion in a hurry, it seemed that there was an urgent matter, the doorman naturally did not stop her, and respectfully welcomed into the mansion, but it was different here in Xuanyuan Jimo, the doorman saw that he was dressed plainly, but his face was extremely beautiful, and it was difficult to judge his status, so he hesitantly stopped him, and tentatively asked about his identity, what did he come from, who was he looking for?
Xuanyuan Jimo was inconvenient to reveal his identity, but he made up a lie.
"I'm here to be the head of the Tang Mansion today, and my sister has already discussed selling her to the Tang family as a maid, and I'll bring her to meet her today. ”
The two of them carefully examined the faces of the pear vortex, and saw that the two of them did not look like bad people, so they let the two in.
"Go to the right after entering the door, and the steward lives on the south side. Don't run around, you'll be caught. One of the guards gave a stern warning.
Xuanyuan Jimo echoed in his mouth and entered the mansion with the pear vortex.
After entering the door, he happened to see the lady and the maid disappearing out of the circular arch on one side, Xuanyuan Jimo was a little curious in his heart, how could such a noble lady not take the right path in the middle, but entered the side door.
Xuanyuan Jimo followed, wanting to find out. Walking into the side door, the figure of the lady and the maid was gone, Xuanyuan Jimo walked forward along the path, and turned a corner, but saw that the lady was talking to a person who looked like a servant of the Tang Mansion in the pavilion, Xuanyuan Jimo hurriedly retreated, maybe there was some secret, this huge Tang Mansion is mysterious and awe-inspiring, the secret surrounding such a lady is even more attractive, how could Xuanyuan Jimo let it go.
However, Xuanyuan Jimo wants to get the secret, and it is not like revealing his identity, let alone letting the person with the secret find out, if he doesn't bring the pear vortex, this matter will be much easier, but now with this oil bottle, it is still necessary to be cautious.
Xuanyuan Jimo motioned for Pear Vortex to leave with him.
Li Vortex was not interested in tracking in the first place, and she didn't know who this lady was at all, she was more interested in where Tang Wuyi lived, and she wanted to find out something about Tang Wuyi from the Tang Mansion.
In order to satisfy Pear Vortex's little wish, Xuanyuan Jimo decided to find someone to ask Tang Wuyi's residence and the current situation of the Tang Mansion.
Coming out of the side door, Xuanyuan Jimo walked directly to the main hall in the middle.
"What are you doing?" Sure enough, he was noticed by the patrol people just a few steps away, Xuanyuan Jimo thought to himself, he was worried that he couldn't find anyone, so this is coming.
"I don't know where Tang Wuyi and Tang Gongzi live in your mansion?"
"What are you doing with the little boy, he is not in the Tang Mansion!"
Xuanyuan Jimo deliberately pretended not to know anything.
"Then can you take us to see, my sister and Tang Wuyi know each other, I want to see him today, but I didn't expect him to be here!"
The patrolling person was a little confused, and felt that Xuanyuan Jimo and this girl's request was very strange, and no one wanted to see each other anymore, and how did they get in?
"Hurry up and get out! This is the Tang Mansion, not a place to visit. If we don't leave, we're going to bang people!"
The patrol is hoping that they will leave quickly, and they will have to rush to other places!
Xuanyuan Jimo saw that they were in a hurry to leave, and it didn't look like a normal patrol, so he asked them what happened.
"There is a big event in the house today. ”
"Oh, what's the big deal?" Xuanyuan Jimo took out a silver ingot.
The inspecting man saw that the silver was still a little grasping, and made a gesture of not accepting bribes, but in the end he still took the silver half-pushed and half-taken on the spot, and his attitude when the silver arrived was completely different from before, and he answered whatever Xuanyuan Jimo asked.
"It's that Mrs. Su, before Master Tang married her despite the opposition of his sons, she lived in the mansion, the eldest lady is still there, she didn't have a good face, and then moved out of the Tang Mansion in a fit of anger, and bought a house outside with her daughter, that is, Tang Meier, the favorite concubine of the emperor today, now no one dares to bully her anymore, she can also walk around the house at will, usually go to find Master Tang, and no one dares to stop her, you can stay as long as you want, I heard that her mother values her daughter, so she has the idea of moving back to the house!"
"And what is the big thing you are talking about?"
"This is the sign that this lady heard about this incident, and she had a big quarrel with Master Tang, and became seriously ill angrily, saying that as long as she doesn't die one day, this Mrs. Su won't want to move in again! Now, Mrs. Tang is still bedridden! This matter is the secret of the Tang Mansion, and it must not be passed on, even if you know, don't talk about it everywhere, otherwise the Tang family will know about it, and your life may be lost!"
Mrs. Tang is seriously ill?
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this incident, Xuanyuan Jimo was a little shocked. Although this Tang Mansion is a little shallower than other families, it is now thriving, and it has the momentum of becoming a first-class family, and it is a symbol of the consummation family of the capital, and it is highly praised!
Is this superficial happiness all an illusion?
This is a bit subversive of Xuanyuan Jimo's cognition, because when Master Tang wanted to marry a new lady and enter the door, it caused a lot of waves, and Tongling Pavilion began to notice the Tang family from that, after all, everyone is very concerned about the gossip of this wealthy family, and Tongling Pavilion will naturally not let go if it is rich.
But this Tang family was very conscious, took the initiative to find the Tongling Pavilion, and spent a lot of money to block the news of the Tongling Pavilion, since they had spent money, the Tongling Pavilion also let go of the Tang family and no longer spread the negative news of the Tang family.
Later, regarding Mrs. Su's move out of the Tang Mansion, the Tongling Pavilion did not take any action, and the Tang Mansion sent the money again, and then the Tongling Pavilion reached a friendly consensus with the Tang family to no longer dig up the family secrets of the Tang family.
In spite of this, Tongling Pavilion does not do this, but it still can't stop the curiosity of the people, the Tang family at that time in order to maintain the image of the external saying that Tang Lao favored Mrs. Su, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to reset a courtyard, who knows that the reason why Mrs. Su moved out of the Tang Mansion was because of family discord, and the Tang Mansion was skillful in using the means to cover people's ears, and the Lingge was deceived.
