Chapter 237: February 2
Jin Min originally wanted to find an opportunity to visit Song Xiuzhu in Xianghe after the New Year, but before the New Year, Mrs. Jin carried Juying away. Reading the novel, although Juying was born as a maid, she is not only the person next to the old lady, but since Song Xiuzhu lost power, the big and small matters in the West Mansion are actually managed by her and Jin Lu's daughter-in-law.
Even Jin Min has to take a look at Ju Ying, he snubbed Ju Ying, which is against his mother's wishes. Moreover, although Juying is not as beautiful as Lixiang, it is also an age like a flower and jade, and the old husband and young concubines have their own charm. In this way, the matter of going to see Song Xiuzhu was temporarily put down.
After the Lantern Festival, the second wife took Jin Ziye and Jin Coral back to work, and as she guessed, her cousin's wife Liu Yuer really had an accident.
On the day when the second dragon raised its head in February, according to Jiangsu customs, it was necessary to eat waist cakes. The relatives of the Jin family in the capital all sent Mrs. Jin rice cakes carefully made with glutinous rice from various prefectures, but the Su Mansion, which was closest to Xifu, did not come.
The third day of February is Wenchang Day, and students have to worship Wenchang Gong on that day. Last year, Liu Yuer said that when it came to Wenchang Day, she asked her son Su Li to worship Wenchang with Jin Zifeng, but until the day of February 2, she didn't see Su Li coming.
Mrs. Jin was a little displeased, although she felt sorry for this niece, but after all, she was not biological, and Mrs. Jin was not an amiable person in the first place. At this time, she became picky, and this niece was really ignorant, and she didn't take her aunt seriously.
In the afternoon, the eldest aunt and grandmother Jin Xuanji brought a pair of children to deliver spring cakes to Mrs. Jin, and Mrs. Jin knew that something had happened to the Fan family.
Just ten days ago, the eldest son and second son born to Master Fan's ex-wife rushed into the Fan family's mansion in the capital with twenty or thirty people, and tied up the troupe that was still in the mansion. If it is to be sent to the yamen, the crime is to commit adultery and disorder.
It is said that when the arrest was made, Liu Yuer was in the same room with the two pillars of the troupe.
Liu Yuer is both an official and a widow, if this matter really causes trouble in the yamen, she will not only have to suffer a lawsuit, but even her son Fan Li's future will be ruined.
Fortunately, the uncle and second master of the Fan family are just seeking wealth. forced Liu Yuer to divide the industrial field under her name into three. The uncle and the second master accounted for seventy percent, and Liu Yuer's mother and son only fell into three percent. The uncle of the Fan family blasted the mother and son out of the Fan family house on the grounds that the main mother lost her virginity. That's it.
Although Liu Yuer is a widow, the property left by Master Fan back then was only a few shops and thousands of acres of paddy fields. It's all her work. But now most of it has been divided by the second uncle of the Fan family.
This matter has already made a fuss, and the uncle and second master of the Fan family are worried that the Jin family will stand up for Liu Yuer. has already released words, saying that Liu Yuer's aunt is also a widow, and Liu Yuer's trick team was originally to relieve her aunt's boredom, but fortunately, the Jin family is a rule. The daughters of the Jin family did not come.
It was because the Fan family dragged the Jin family in, and none of the relatives of the side branches of the Jin family who came to give gifts to Mrs. Jin dared to tell Mrs. Jin. Therefore, Xifuli was the last to know.
Xuanji has been helping her mother-in-law take care of housework at her mother-in-law's house. The ladies who came to give the Spring Festival gift in the past few days were all curious to inquire about this matter with her, and some long-tongued women even asked her if she had ever been to Liu Yu'er to listen to the play.
Xuanji was so angry that she came to deliver spring cakes today, and told her grandmother all about Liu Yuer.
When Mrs. Jin heard that Uncle Fan said that Liu Yuer was raising male actors in the mansion to relieve her boredom, she didn't come up at that time and fainted.
Jin Min also heard rumors outside, first Jin Yuan fell into the water, not only robbed the reputation of his brother-in-law, but was also humiliated by Jian'an Bofu, who was already a lady of the family, but he didn't even come to the door to propose marriage; Then Jin Chang eloped with her cousin, lived in Tianxiang Hutong, and then was divorced by the Marquis of Linjiang and married a small family; Now the daughters of the Jin family have become the talk of the capital after tea and dinner, and this time, it is the old lady of the Jin family!
Jin Min remembered that Liu Yuer was brought to the capital by Mrs. Jin, and Mrs. Jin also wanted to match her and Liu Yuer's family affairs. When he went to the household today, he felt someone pointing at him behind his back.
He secretly blamed his mother for being confused, and remembered that since his mother came to the capital, his Xifu has been turned upside down, not only did the fourth brother's family have an accident here, but even Song Xiuzhu went crazy with a good look.
No, how could the Song family be crazy, it was all nonsense from the people in the house, and he had never seen it with his own eyes. I think it's just that I'm very angry, and my feelings are just out of control.
Kim Min had never blamed his mother like he did now, but he couldn't blame Mrs. Kim. remembered that day in the welcome pavilion, the eldest brother and sister-in-law Xingshi mobilized the crowd to welcome their mother, but they refused to give in, and insisted on taking their mother to Xifu. If the **** didn't force it, the mother would be taken into the East Mansion by the eldest brother, and the eldest sister-in-law Nie was there, and the fourth brother's family would not dare to live in a big way, even that Liu Yuer would not enter the house, how could she add such a bunch of troubles.
When he returned to the mansion, he didn't even go to Chunhui Hall to greet Mrs. Jin, and went back to Mo Liuju directly.
Since he carried Juying, he stayed in Xiaozhuxuan where Juying lived most of the day. Song Xiuzhu is not in the house, the Bitong Courtyard where she lives is very close to Moliuju, and Mrs. Jin originally wanted Juying to live there, but Juying refused, and insisted on moving into Xiaozhuxuan near Changshuxuan. This Xiaozhuxuan only has four or five rooms, it was originally for Jin Yuan Jinyu's female master to live, last year the female master went back to the countryside, Song Xiuzhu felt that the two daughters already knew a few words, and neither of them liked to read, so they didn't invite another master, and this place was vacant.
Although Xiaozhuxuan is freshly painted, the layout is simple, and the few green bamboos in the yard are also very elegant, but it makes Jin Min, who likes elegance, refreshing, and even asks Juying to clean up a study for him.
Seeing him come back suddenly, Lixiang was surprised and delighted, since Song Xiuzhu's accident, Lixiang's identity has been very embarrassing. She had little contact with people, and now she doesn't stay in the house without half a step, and spends all day in the house doing needle money.
Jin Min sighed and half-leaned back on the Luohan chair, his brows furrowed.
Lixiang made a fragrant tea and stood quietly aside, and the house was quiet.
At this moment, the waiter came in and hurriedly said: "Third master, Sister Qingxing from Chunhui Hall is here, saying that the old lady invited you over, and she said that the old lady is not in good health and fainted today." ”
Although Jin Min blamed her mother for being troubled, she was still anxious when she heard that Mrs. Jin was sick, and when she arrived at the outhouse, she saw Qingxing and asked about Mrs. Jin's condition.
Qingxing said with a smile: "Don't worry, the third master, the old lady fainted during the day, and she was relieved after smelling snuff. ”
"Happy event?" Jin Min thought to himself, what other good things can the Jin family have?
"It's a big event, the Xu family in Wangdu invited a matchmaker to officially come to propose to the fifth lady."
