Chapter 174: The Suspect Returns
Wang Jue glanced at Wen Banniang lightly, and said in his heart, this woman in the north is really much more powerful than a woman in the south, and she stared at the strange man so magnificently, this little lady in the Wen Mansion seems to be more, I hope that there will be no second county lord, otherwise he will have to go to the guest house.
However, it turns out that Wang Jue is too worried, like the best of the county lord, the capital can't find a second one, and Wen Banniang just looked at him a few more times.
After Wang Jue moved in, Ji Changge placed many masters around the Wen Mansion to take turns to protect him day and night, and immediately arrested people whenever there was a situation.
Wen Jing and Wen Qiran still go to the yamen every day on duty, only Wang Jue is facing a group of women and children and servants at home, Wen Jiuniang has never been bored because of what happened last time, Wu Niang and Banniang come from time to time to ask for some poems and pairs, as if they were interested in these overnight, Wang Jue also sent them away in three or two sentences.
Mrs. Wen, the Lu family and others heard that this Wang Jue is a descendant of the Jinling Wang family, and he is also a popular candidate for the champion of this imperial examination, and his attitude is also very attentive, and his food and clothing are all thoughtful.
"Mrs. Wen, please smile at a little heart, I am very uneasy when I am disturbed for a long time." Wang Jue put the twenty taels of silver ingots in his hand on the table.
"How can this make you, you are a guest of our Wen family, take it back quickly!" Mrs. Wen said busily.
Twenty taels is not much, but it is more than enough to offset Wang Jue's expenses alone, Mrs. Wen muttered in her heart, saying that this Jinling Wang clan is rich and rivals the country, and this Wang Jue is too picky, it's not that this bit of silver is rare, what she cares about is whether Wang Jue has money or not. If you have money, it's not bad to marry Jiuniang.
"This is as it should be, and you must take it." Wang Jue glanced at Mrs. Wen, and was a little impatient in his heart, what he was most tired of was these worldly rules, and it was a waste of time to be false and wronged.
Mrs. Wen had to accept it, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Wang Jue had already gotten up and left.
Looking at the twenty taels of silver in her hand, Mrs. Wen couldn't make up her mind.
"Mother. Don't worry about this person. He is bent on Qi Niang. Wen Jiuniang's words dispelled all Mrs. Wen's reverie.
"He wants to marry Qi Niang, but he still has to go through me." Mrs. Wen snorted coldly.
"Mother, there has been no news from the Gu family for a long time" Wen Jiuniang lowered her eyes and muttered.
The midyear festival has passed. The Gu family still didn't come to mention the matter of family affairs. After all, the Gu family is the Hou Mansion. Even if there is a number of faux pases, she is helpless, and she can't take the initiative to ask. seems to have lost her identity, as if she is in a hurry to marry her daughter, and she can't find another family, Mrs. Wen is also in trouble.
"Don't worry, tomorrow I will ask your aunt to go to the Hou Mansion to find out what the Gu family has to say." Mrs. Wen comforted.
Wen Jiuniang had no choice but to nod, her face very aggrieved
It seems that except for Ji Changge, no one in the palace really knows where Wang Jue went, Wen Jing can almost imagine that the county lord turned the chickens and dogs in the palace on his back.
On this day, Wen Jing was cutting off the withered branches in the courtyard, but there was a commotion outside the door.
"Miss Seven, Mrs. He and the son-in-law of the Gu family are here, you can go out and have a look." Mother He hurriedly walked in.
Wen Jing supported his forehead, he should have come or come, he had to lie last time, it seems that he wanted to expose it, but in fact, the noodle pinching person did not have any willow disease at all.
"Mrs. He, Gu Gongzi." Wen Jing smiled.
"Qi Niang, go to my house to see Brother Qin, since that child came back last time, the whole person has been locked in the house and no one can shout, but he is sad to death." Mrs. He stepped forward and grabbed Wen Jingdao.
Gu Liansheng also stepped forward: "Hongwen is the same, I have to trouble Qi Niang to go as soon as I and Mrs. He are combined." ”
Wen Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he has not been pierced by any Lang Zhong.
"Have you ever asked Lang Zhong to take a look?" Wen Jing asked the two.
"Yes, but Brother Qin didn't let Lang Zhong look at it at all, when he heard that Lang Zhong was coming, he began to lose his temper and throw things around, and his family Hongwen was the same." Mrs. He took the lead.
"I see, let me take the medicine box and go to the two mansions." Wen Jing said, in fact, it doesn't matter if you take the medicine box or not, the psychological injuries are far greater than the physical ones, the two children should be fine, but the psychological shadow is difficult to erase in a short time, and there is no profession of psychiatrist in this era.
Watching Wen Jing walk away, Wen Jiuniang stepped forward and whispered to Gu Liansheng, "Gu Lang, I have a few words to tell you." ”
Gu Liansheng paused, he naturally knew what Wen Jiuniang was going to ask him, so he hesitated and followed.
"Gu Lang, seeing that the first lunar month has passed, this family matter" Wen Jiuniang's voice became smaller and quieter, her face was flushed, and she also mustered up the courage for a long time before she spoke, she was really uncomfortable.
Gu Liansheng was silent, and only after a while did he speak: "Jiu Niang, you also heard it, Hongwen doesn't want me to take a concubine, besides, he is not in good health now, and the family affairs are still slow for the time being."
Wen Jiuniang raised her head suddenly, full of tears: "Heh, do you want to slow down?" When? If your son is not good for a year or two, do you have to delay it for a year or two?! ”
Gu Liansheng was silent, took out a navy blue handkerchief from her chest and handed it to Wen Jiuniang.
Wen Jiuniang knocked down the veil, and Gu Liansheng's silence made her angry: "Since you care about your son so much, it's better to forget about this family matter!" ”
"In that case, I'm sorry, Jiu Niang, you are a good girl, I shouldn't have missed the rest of your life, you can find a better Lang Jun than me, you can find me if you need anything in the future, I'm sorry." Gu Liansheng said softly.
Seeing Gu Liansheng resolutely leave, Wen Jiuniang collapsed to the ground.
"Smack!"
A loud slap hit Wen Jiuniang in the face, and as soon as Wen Jiuniang looked up, she saw Mrs. Wen's angry face.
"That's what he wants, why are you so stupid!" Mrs. Wen gritted her teeth and said, Wen Jiuniang completely ruined her plan this time. She had already used her connections to put pressure on the Gu family, and she could endure it for a few more days, but who knew that she would fall short because of Wen Jiuniang's words.
Wen Jiuniang looked at the ground dejectedly, she just said that, but it was just angry words, used to force Gu Liansheng, where did she know that Gu Liansheng's mind was no longer here, just waiting for her to say this, so that she would not have to bear a bad reputation for treachery. It was the Wen family who withdrew from the marriage first.
"That's it. You don't have the life to be a noblewoman, so find someone similar to marry. Mrs. Wen sighed.
Wen Jiuniang's heart was cold all of a sudden, if she even gave up her mother, then she wouldn't want to marry into a famous family in this life.
"Mother. The daughter was wrong. Your daughter will listen to you in the future. Wen Jiuniang knelt and walked a few steps, hugging Mrs. Wen's legs.
Mrs. Wen was still angry. Said coldly: "Let's get up first." ”
Wen Jiuniang hurriedly got up: "Then the matter of the Gu family, just forget it?" ”
"What else do you want? We can't afford to mess with the Gu family, but. The person who bullied me Liu Yunzhi, I can't make him feel better. A hint of viciousness flashed in Mrs. Wen's eyes.
Wen Jiuniang shuddered, although she was her own mother, she felt a chill behind her
Wen Jing followed Gu Liansheng to Gu's house, and as soon as she entered the door, she was almost hit by a flying vase, but fortunately, Gu Liansheng was prepared, and pulled her aside, and the vase hit the wall and shattered.
"Hongwen, don't make trouble!" Gu Liansheng shouted loudly.
After making sure that there would be no more vases or anything like that flying out of it, Wen Jing followed Gu Liansheng into the back room.
"Hongwen, this is Qi Niang who saved you last time, take a look." Gu Liansheng said softly.
Gu Hongwen poked his head out of the quilt and glanced at Wen Jing in horror with his two eyes.
"Master Gu, you all go out first." Wen Jing said to Gu Liansheng.
Gu Liansheng nodded, waved her hand at a few maids, and everyone walked out.
Gu Hongwen buried his head in the quilt again.
"Hongwen, you're actually in good health, aren't you?"
Wen Jing asked softly, but Gu Hongwen didn't say a word as if he hadn't heard it.
"People have to go through a lot of pain in this life, maybe you think it's a very difficult thing to accept now, but time will slowly dilute everything, that person is dead, he can no longer hurt you, he has also been hurt by you, he has always been obsessed, so he uses the same method to hurt others, he is just a poor worm, I don't want you to become that kind of person, in that case, you are no different from him, you have to laugh at everyone to prove that you have not been defeated, not like this weak person huddled in the bedNo one will sympathize with you, they will only laugh at you for being cowardly. ”
After Wen Jing finished speaking, he glanced at the quilt that couldn't stop shaking, and then walked out.
"Healed?" Gu Hongwen was surprised, he was cured in such a short time?
"This disease can't be cured in a short time, I can only take it slowly, I will come every half a month in the future, so be it for today, don't mention the kidnapping in the future, he will get better slowly." Wen Jing walked out of the hall after speaking.
"Thank you Qi Niang, this is a little careful."
Gu Liansheng handed a delicate jade hairpin in his hand to Wen Jing.
"I can't accept this, it's too valuable, it's just a gesture." Wen Jing said.
Sending Wen Jing away, Gu Liansheng walked into the house and found that Hongwen had sat up from the bed, as if he was thinking about something.
"Hongwen, are you better?"
Gu Hongwen nodded, although he still didn't speak, but he finally calmed down, Gu Liansheng put his heart at ease, and said in his heart, Qi Niang is really good at medicine, and then think about the relationship between Wen Jing and the prince, Gu Liansheng's eyes are getting hotter and hotter
Wen Jing returned home and found that Ji Changge was there.
When Ji Changge saw her coming back, he hurriedly pulled her to Wang Jue's room.
"Qiu Raid has entered the city."
Wen Jing and Wang Jue both took a deep breath and finally came.
"Because of what happened last year, Scholar Wang decided to temporarily close Liyuan and no longer accept any candidates, he is now living in Yunlai Inn, and I have sent someone to keep an eye on him day and night."
"No, don't send someone to spy on him for the time being, our purpose is to make him sin, he doesn't sin, how can we judge him?" A hint of chill flashed in Wang Jue's eyes.
"Yes, what he wants to kill the most now is probably Seventeen Lang, as long as he sets a trap, he will definitely take the bait." Wen Jing said.
Ji Changge pondered for a moment and nodded, he must be caught this time. (To be continued......)
