Chapter 270: The eldest daughter
Fengcheng can be regarded as a traffic artery, and most of the Jiangnan business travel officials have to pass through Fengcheng first when they enter the capital.
People come and go every day, naturally prosperous and lively, even the soldiers guarding the city gate at the city gate have a little more eyesight than other places, and they are quite kind to the pedestrians who come and go, and most of the time they do not judge people by their appearance.
In the early morning, the sun was still hanging in the treetops.
Cigarettes were rolling in the east, and white paper was like snowflakes, sprinkled on the ground. There are a few old people who are more than half a hundred years old dressed in white, wearing linen and filial piety, kneeling and crying all the way, there are three circles back and forth, others just watch, even those who are soldiers are not too bad luck to stop, when passing by, they also scoop a spoonful of tea soup to warm up.
Those old people are all sacrificial old marquis.
On the entire ground in the south of the Yangtze River, young people may have forgotten that in the older generation, who doesn't miss the benefits of the old marquis Lin, when the old marquis Lin came to Jiangnan to suppress the bandits, the water bandit Wu Niangzi arrested more than 30 old and young, and asked the old marquis Lin to make an exchange.
The old marquis didn't say a word, so he went alone, and changed back to those old and young masters alone, and he was seriously injured, and finally exterminated the gang of water bandits, and since then, his old man's body has not been as good as before.
At that time, everyone in Jiangnan said that the old Marquis Lin had a joke, and then something happened, and everyone stopped talking about it, but even if the court convicted his old man, most of the people in Jiangnan did not admit it.
The sun was a little dim, and after a while, a group of patrolling soldiers walked by, and they were more energetic than ever.
Before dawn, there were 800 miles of urgent documents passing by, and at a glance, I knew that it must be a report from the border gate.
Stayed at the gates for a long time. I also have my own experience in reading these, this kind of eight-hundred-mile urgent document is not simple, come once, you have to be cautious in the last half month, and there will be a certain one, in case you don't take care of it well, it can't be said to be a big crime of killing your head.
The city gate opened earlier today, and Lu Erniang carried two baskets of courgettes into the city gate, just in time to see Wang Sandao rubbing his hands on the side of the road, while looking around. Hurried over. Angry: "Why is it so early today? Carefully blew a cool breeze. ”
"Hey, it's messy, the eldest lady is sick, and those little sluts are demons again. It's a mess in the house. Miss Fen hid. If we don't hurry up and dodge, we will be angry and sprinkled on the head by some master, but how can we live! ”
Wang Sandao's face turned red. looked around, and went to pinch Lu Erniang's cuffs, Lu Erniang gave him a blank look, his own man was distressed, and hurriedly pulled him to the tea house next to him and sat down.
"What is the Lu family doing these days, I listened to Sister Yu say a few words, and another sister has been added to the big house?"
Lu Erniang's face was white, only twenty and three, still a good color, Wang Sandao hadn't seen her for a long time, he was panicked, his eyes only turned on her snow-white face, he was a little absent-minded, and said casually: "It's a sister, born to Miss Lin who was kicked out that year, and the family forgot about it, and has been raising it on the Zhuangzi in Liujiazhuang, Heishui Town...... The eldest lady almost didn't pass out, so let me pick it up quickly. ”
Lu Erniang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it.
"This, this...... Even our countrymen can't do such strange things, Uncle Lu, too, too ......"
At present, it is not easy to talk about the master, but the master did such a thing, even she who didn't know a few big words felt panicked, but that Uncle Lu still regarded himself as a literati, was high and proud, and played music all day long, so that people didn't know what to say.
Lu Erniang sighed, pinched her fingers and calculated: "Back then, because the uncle married, in order to show respect for the Yue family, some of the family's rooms were released, and some were sent to Zhuangzi, Miss Lin was pregnant at that time, and now the child should be eighteen, and this has become an old girl." ”
"Who said no, there was suddenly an extra eldest daughter in the family, and Sister Yao of the eldest lady's family went to the bottom of the line, this is really, the whole family responded."
Sandao shook his head, "I'm afraid that sister is also good, she grew up in Zhuangzi, I don't know what the situation is, the Lu family is not a small family, I'm afraid she can't adapt to it, fortunately, the eldest lady sent her own companion to pick her up, so it's still decent." ”
"We don't have to worry about the affairs of the masters." Lu Erniang stuffed a courgette for the owner, and stood up with the basket, "I'll go sell the melon first and earn some silver money to save the dowry for Niuniu." ”
As he was talking, two carriages stopped outside the tea house, one of which was very familiar, it was the Lu family's car.
The old lady of the Lu family used to live in an official house, and he was an old man, although he retreated bravely in the rapids, but he also had a grade, and the carriages and horses used at home, even if they were subordinates, were very dazzling, and they could be recognized at a glance.
Tie Niu got out of the car, went down with a bucket, and took out a handful of copper coins for the men in the tea house to fetch water for the horses.
They drove out of the capital in the autumn, went around a big circle through the mountains and rivers, and came to Fengcheng again in Heishui City, and it began to be cold in a few days, although it has not snowed yet, the north wind is howling.
Watching Tie Niu go down, Luo Niang sealed the gap in the window, a pot of hot water was steaming, and she didn't need to make tea, she only felt comfortable holding the hot water cup.
Actually, it wasn't cold in the carriage.
Covered with tiger skin mattresses and covered with fluffy wool blankets, it was so hot that the cold outside could not get in at all.
But she is still used to holding a teacup, glancing at her master, and stopping to speak.
Hongchen smiled, she didn't know what happened to her face, and the county lord also took care of it, and even except for those who were present at the time, most people didn't know that there was also her shadow in that matter.
The estimates present were still shocked, and they didn't dare to say anything.
The mansion of the lord of Rong'an County is calm on the surface.
However, after Lin Xu and they discussed, they still unanimously decided to ask her to leave the capital to avoid it, who knows if in the imminent battle for the dragon chair, Hongchen, the crayfish, will be picked out and eaten first.
Lin Xu and his entourage are all busy at this moment, all kinds of busy, I'm afraid they can't take care of her.
When Senior Brother Lin said this, Hongchen had a good temperament, but he was also a little unhappy, why did he want them to take care of him?
She was born on her own. Never leaned on anyone else.
As a result, she complained in front of Luo Niang, Luo Niang laughed so much that she was teased, which made her confused, and even Xiao Yan thought that she was joking, just thinking that Mr. Lin was wholeheartedly protecting her and treating her well, she was naturally only happy in her heart.
Hongchen didn't think much about it when he came back to his senses, why bother arguing with them about this, what he had experienced in it since he had the Yujue space. What you see. In this world, you can't see people, even Luo Niang and Xiao Yan are like her, they can be regarded as her true inheritance. I'm afraid I can't understand it. Or don't take it out to scare others.
I have my own plans. It takes a period of peace.
It just so happened that a task in Yujue's space was quite suitable, so she simply took it, and by the way, she got an identity document.
Lin Xu refused to let her go out by herself. But as soon as I heard that I was coming to Jiangnan or Fengcheng, and then I heard that I was acting so secretively, I was relieved.
Hongchen didn't care why he agreed, he was used to these mysterious people, she was relaxed, really relaxed, and wanted to have a good time.
When I went out of Beijing, I talked to Luo Niang from my heart, so I thought I was out to play.
Although it will arrive soon, the grandmother Gao outside has told her a lot of words, but Hongchen can still be nervous because of this? I closed my eyes and rolled over the task prompt in the Yujue space, which was quite interesting.
The most important quest prop is an identity document, and the so-called quest hint is an inner monologue, and nothing else.
Lin Qiuniang was originally the eldest daughter of the Lu family, but she was kicked out with her mother when she was a fetus, and she did not bear the surname of the Lu family, her mother only called her Qiuniang, and the two depended on each other.
Liujiazhuang's Zhuangzi, said to be the Lu family, was actually just bought at random when he passed by, and he didn't take it to heart at all. Lin Qiuniang's mother is not an important person, she knows that she was kicked out by the master's family, and her life in Zhuangzi is very hard, but later Qiuniang grew up, and the life of the mother and daughter was broader.
How to say that she is also the young lady of the Lu family, the Lu family can forget her, but those subordinates dare not treat her too harshly, and they can't starve to death or die of illness, otherwise they will be unlucky whenever the Lu family thinks about it one day.
Lin Qiuniang stumbled and grew up, until she was eighteen years old, the Lu family still didn't have any news, her mother told her a family matter, she was a kid from a farmer's family outside, she knew a few words, and she also had a lot of strength.
If nothing else, she lived like this in her life, but God was not as good as she wanted, there was a disaster, and her mother was also killed, she barely survived, but she was also very sick, and she asked a lame man who wrote a letter to send a letter to the Lu family in a daze.
After sending it to her, she regretted it, Hongchen could see it clearly in the task prompt, this girl was worried day and night, afraid that she would not be angry and annoying, and then smeared her mother's face, and all she thought about was her own mother, until she died of illness.
This disaster is caused by Xiangliu!
Hongchen thought, maybe this task doesn't require her to do anything special, as long as the Lu family mentions Lin Qiuniang's name, she praises her for having a good mother, her mother is a good woman, a good mother, and everything is good, it is enough.
"Miss, can you go?"
After the iron bull finished feeding the horses, the eldest lady's roommate, Gao Mama, also drank tea and came back to get into the car.
Luo Niang leaned out and nodded slightly.
The carriage set off again, clattering off into the distance.
Mama Gao sat in the car behind, her mind was complicated, she was pulling the handkerchief over and over again, and the little girl who was waiting next to her didn't dare to speak, she knew what Mama Gao was entangled, to be honest, when she first saw the young lady, she was also at a loss for a long time, she always felt that she was not wearing the right clothes, her face was dirty, and there was a problem with how to stand.
Along the way, the young lady was very quiet, and did not talk to them much, but no one who had seen the young lady's appearance dared to compare her with the native girl of the country.
"How can it be so good-looking? The original girl of Nalin ...... What does it look like? ”
The crescent moon is young, and she has never seen Miss Lin.
Mama Gao is the eldest lady's companion, so naturally she has never seen the girl in the Lu family.
She just suddenly had a feeling that the uncle was able to take away such a beautiful woman for their wife, it should be said that in fact, there was still a bit of sincerity.
“…… Got it checked? Is that really the daughter that Miss Lin gave birth to our uncle? Mama Gao couldn't help muttering.
The crescent moon chirped: "How can I not find out clearly, when I was looking for a stable woman to deliver the baby, I still sent Miss Lin to the past Steward Li, this matter has always been concealed, and Liujiazhuang also has to report it every year, but it is only mentioned in a half-sentence, so that it is not said...... It's like this. ”
Mama Gao sighed.
It's not just the appearance, the temperament of the body, to put it mildly, their sister Yao can't compare, although the clothes are simple, but they are not ordinary jewelry, they are very exquisite, I really don't know how such a girl who grew up in the village in the countryside can get these good things.
Not only her, but it is estimated that the masters of the family should also be suspicious, but there is no problem with the identity documents, even the things that are brought with them are available, and the words are right, Zhuangzi has suffered and no one is gone, but there are still some people alive in Liujiazhuang, and they have all testified.
Besides, a concubine raised by the Lu family from outside, what is there to pretend to be, if she can really pretend to be a successful person, she will definitely not look down on such an identity, and if she can look at this identity, she will not dare to do so.
Mama Gao thought about it, and put down those three points of suspicion.
If Hongchen knew her thoughts, I am afraid she would have to sympathize, like her, a county master pretending to be a daughter of the Lu family, plus Lin Gongzi of Guigu to help, it is really not very difficult to find a witness or something.
And the Qiu Niang who was raised in the Zhuangzi was a girl's family, and when she was eighteen years old, she had very few opportunities to meet outsiders.
"It's just ahead."
Seeing that she arrived at the door of the house, Mama Gao breathed a sigh of relief, her trip was a chore, and it was good that she could go home safely.
After a while, I arrived at the door, and it was quiet inside, and Mama Gao didn't care, so she went over to say hello and opened a corner door.
The little guy guarding the door saw her, and hurriedly came over to see her, and glanced out secretly: "That's the one?" ”
Mama Gao frowned: "Okay, hurry up and report it." ”
"Well, it's just that Mama is afraid that she will have to wait for a while, Sister Yao is sick inside, and the eldest lady is also sick, and it is in chaos, this matter has to be reported to the old lady."
I'll report it when I'm done muttering here.
It's really chaotic inside.
The old lady of the Lu family is turning around at the door of the daughter-in-law of the big house, eager to smoke her own son to death, if this is not a kiss, let alone pumping to death, she will directly cut his heart alive, not to mention the spoiled concubine and kill his wife, but also do it to her daughter, and slap the daughter who is about to get out of bed, so that the daughter's personal maid will die outside to die.
Any little rumor spreads, don't ask for the faces of the Lu family.
At this time, the next person came to report that the eldest daughter had arrived, and the old lady's head hurt even more, and she wanted to pinch her idiot son to death.
"Hey, take it in, put it in the okra garden first."
Stay away from her eldest daughter-in-law to save trouble. (To be continued.) )
