Chapter 35: Finding Faults
The two small wooden barrels brought back by the two girls were filled with honey, and the honey pear soup happened to be a good product of this season. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The honey was prepared by Tong's mother, and the eldest lady used to love to drink it, thinking that Miss Seven would like it too, so she asked the fourth brother Tong to send it by car.
Yuan Xiang entered the house and put down the small wooden barrel, then walked to the rattan chair and whispered: "Miss, Mrs. Zhang's mother has already inquired about Mrs. Zhang's affairs, and I heard that the ready-to-wear shop has been troubled by Mrs. Zhang Er's for most of the past half a month, and no one dares to go to it, and Aniu's daughter-in-law doesn't dare to mess with her, so she simply closed the store, but that Mrs. Zhang Er's is a messy master, and she also ran to other people's houses to make trouble, and she has to find out Miss, and said that even if you dig three feet into the ground, Miss You can't eat and walk around." ”
Su Ximei listened to her quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Who is Mrs. Zhang's second wife?
suffered such a big loss, and lost face in front of the neighbors, she used to be a bitter and mean woman when she was poor, but now that she has an identity and status, she will only intensify and expose her mean habits.
"What else did she say?" Su Ximei sat up, her back straight, and blinked, as if she was very interested.
Yuan Xiang simply dragged a bench out of the room and sat down next to Miss Seven.
"Second Mrs. Zhang also said that Ah Niu's daughter-in-law was determined to oppose her, and she didn't take her seriously at all, Miss Fang Jiayan already knew about it, and she didn't know what Mrs. Zhang Second said, the Fang family really came to give her a head."
Mrs. Zhang Er is the best at telling right and wrong, reversing black and white, and the dead can be said to be alive, the Fang family is a scholarly family, and the door style is upright, and she has even mixed into this trivial matter.
It seems that it is really not a family that does not enter the door.
Su Ximei suddenly laughed, remembering that Li Dafu said this about her and Yuanxiang that day.
Yuan Xiang looked at her young lady smiling happily, pouted and asked, "Miss, what are you laughing at?" Is that funny what I'm talking about? ”
Su Ximei smiled and shook her head, "It's not laughing at you, it's laughing...... Actually, it's nothing, but what about the others? How's it going? ”
As soon as Yuan Xiang heard the young lady's question, she naturally understood who the "others" were referring to, and immediately replied seriously: "Zhang Sanye owes a thousand taels of silver to the gambling house, and now he is worried about how to pay it back!" There is also Master Zhang who actually raised a concubine outside the house, and Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to know about it. ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Xiang grinned and said: "This Zhang family is really messy enough, Mother Tong also said that the second master Zhang is in charge of the Zhang family's hundred acres of fertile land, and he has made a lot of money from it, and he also colluded with outsiders to buy shops and took a lot of benefits." ”
Zhang Sanye is the eldest son of Zhang Sanye, but Zhang Sanye is the concubine of the old lady of the Zhang family, so he has no status in the third room.
The second master of Zhang is different, he is the second son of Mrs. Zhang, and he is also the son of Mrs. Zhang, although the second master of Zhang is not angry, and his reading is not as good as that of Mr. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang loves her little son very much, and she also matched the marriage between him and her niece back then, which shows Mrs. Zhang's love for the second master of Zhang.
And Mrs. Zhang's niece is now Mrs. Zhang's second wife.
However, what surprised Su Ximei the most was that Master Zhang raised a concubine outside the house.
Master Zhang is the father of Master Zhang Cheng.
It's just that in her past memories, Master Zhang has always been in love with Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang eloped in order to marry Master Zhang.
It is said that at that time, Mrs. Zhang had already fallen in love with a good family affair, but she was helplessly stirred up by Mrs. Zhang, and everything came to naught.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang has never liked her eldest daughter-in-law.
"This family is really messy enough." The corners of Su Ximei's lips were raised, and her fair and exquisite face was like a budding begonia, which made people's hearts shake.
Yuanxiang pursed her lips with a look of disgust.
"I don't know what Master Fang took a fancy to the Zhang family, and he actually married his eldest daughter to such a family that can't support the wall, I heard Tong's mother say that Young Master Zhang was appointed by the imperial court two days ago as the secretary of the ninth grade of the Hanlin Academy, and he directly stood out from the scholars of the Guozijian and was promoted to the rank of the civil official of the Hanlin Academy, which must be indispensable behind the promotion of Master Fang."
If Zhang Cheng is the Fang family's Chenglong and fast son-in-law, Master Fang will aim at the opportunity to promote him, so that his eldest daughter will not look too bad when she gets married.
Su Ximei nodded calmly.
"Did I get the matter clear?"
Yuan Xiang moved the bench to the side of the rattan chair, put his head up and lowered his voice: "Check it out, Master Fang will go to a moon full building in the west of the city every three or five days to drink tea and listen to music, it is said that this moon full building is the favorite place of the nobles in the capital, the landlord's chess and piano skills are all on the upper floor, and some people do not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars in order to be able to play a game with the landlord of the moon full building." ”
Su Ximei's eyes trembled slightly when she heard the words "Full Moon Building".
She clearly remembered that there was a house deed in Xie's blackiron box, which was the full moon building in the west of the capital.
――――――――――――
After noon, Fourth Brother Tong drove the carriage and stopped at the mouth of an alley.
Ling Xiang helped Su Ximei get out of the carriage, Yuan Xiang was holding a small box by her side, and Fourth Brother Tong also followed with two chickens and ducks.
The group walked to a low-roof house in the innermost part of the alley, and saw a chubby baby squatting at the door digging in the mud.
Su Ximei stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Are your adults at home?" ”
The chubby little baby blinked and looked up with two big golden eyes, pouted and thought silently for a while, then turned her head and shouted into the low house.
"Mother, is there an adult in Xiao Aniu's family?"
Yuan Xiang laughed out loud when she heard the "flutter", Ling Xiang's pretty face was swollen red, and Fourth Brother Tong inevitably had a strange expression on his face.
Ah Niu's daughter-in-law wiped her hands and walked out of the house, and she didn't look at the person standing at the door, so she scolded the chubby little baby: "You child, didn't my mother tell you not to play in the mud at the door?" Beware of the bad guys getting you ......"
Before he could speak, he saw tears flashing in Xiao Niu's big eyes, and he looked at the person at the door with an aggrieved face.
Ah Niu's daughter-in-law noticed the other people at the door and was stunned for a while.
Su Ximei took a step forward with a smile and called "Auntie" softly.
Ah Niu's daughter-in-law widened her eyes in disbelief, she was sure that she had never known such a beautiful woman, how could she suddenly appear in front of her house and call her "Auntie" affectionately?
Although this woman's face was covered with a veil, just looking at her bright eyes and smooth forehead, Ah Niu's daughter-in-law dared to be sure that this woman must be a beauty who captivated the country and the city and turned all beings upside down.
Su Ximei motioned for Yuanxiang to take a step forward, and said to Ah Niu's daughter-in-law with a smile: "Auntie, half a month ago, my girl took a fancy to a dress, but because of this incident, she had a dispute with someone, so that Auntie, you were made difficult, and I came here to apologize." ”
