Chapter 177: The Affair of the Impersonation
When the words came to her mouth, Xuanji swallowed again, among the younger sisters, the eldest Linglong had just turned twelve years old, and Coral and Jin Yu were only seven years old.
Linglong saw that Xuanji didn't want to say anything, and guessed that she and her two younger sisters were not old enough and not have enough identity, so the lobby sister wanted to say and stopped.
She said to Jin Yu: "Seventh sister, Sister Tan of Sister Lobby's family likes fragrant flowers the most, I said to give her a pot early in the morning, you and Ninth Sister help me pick two pots, and send someone to Sister Tan to send them over first." ”
It was the first time for Coral to come to the flower room, and she had long wanted to look around, and when she heard Linglong ask her and Jin Yu to pick flowers, she didn't wait for Jin Yu to agree, so she pulled Jin Yu up from the embroidery pier: "Don't sit like an adult, let's go and help the fifth cousin pick flowers." ”
The Sister Tan in Linglong's mouth is Xuanji's daughter Dong Tan. Xuanji said don't be so polite, but she knew in her heart that Linglong wanted to continue to listen to her talk about the impostor.
Sure enough, as soon as they left, Linglong smiled and said, "Sister Lobby, let's go on, I'm not afraid that those two little ones will be annoyed by listening." ”
Xuanji said angrily: "I also said that they are small, and you are not a child yourself." ”
Linglong filled her and herself with tea, and held her delicate chin to make a deferential appearance.
Xuanji said: "Only a few relatives know about this, and I only told my mother, but my mother already knew." I think it was Mrs. Mao who mentioned it to her. ”
Linglong's brows moved slightly, and she remembered the mysterious guest in Chaoyun Xuan. Then he said: "Aunt and Mrs. Mao are familiar with each other? ”
Xuanji smiled: "My relationship with my husband was mentioned by Mrs. Mao, but it was only because she was Mrs. Zuo's stepmother that my mother invited Mrs. Gao to be a matchmaker." ”
Linglong suddenly figured out why Nie Lin's family no longer mentioned the matter of the Mao family to her, although she was not on an errand in the East Mansion, but she thought that in the process of inquiring, she knew the relationship between Mrs. Mao and the Nie family, so she didn't continue to investigate.
Linglong asked: "What Sister Lobby said, but is it about Jinyiwei going to Fujian to get people?" ”
Xuanji was taken aback, but sighed again: "I thought that only a few relatives who were related to the Mao family knew about this matter. I can't imagine that it has already been spread, where did the fifth cousin hear it? ”
Linglong said casually: "The colorful lines in the house are not suitable, I sent the maids to buy them outside, and they heard from Mrs. Wei that her husband is in Jinyiwei." I went to Fujian a while ago. When they came back, they said that they had listened to me, and when Sister Fang mentioned the Mao family in Fujian, I thought of it. ”
Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief: "You girl is really smart, so you can guess." Speaking of which, this matter is not a secret, but the Holy One did not make a decree for a day. The impostor and these relatives who were clothed with water did not dare to say much. The saint sent Jinyi Wei to Fujian and took the Marquis Mao, the second, third, and sixth masters back to the capital. ”
"Huh?" Linglong had already guessed this matter, but she still pretended to be surprised, and asked, "What did they do, why did the Holy Lord take them back, saying that they were held by Jinyiwei, and I am afraid that they will have to suffer on the way back." ”
Xuanji said: "Although Mrs. Mao is a few years younger than Mrs. Zuo, the Mao family can also be regarded as Mrs. Zuo's foreign family. Dong Guanqing, the son of the Marquis of Linjiang, is now the calmer of Jinyiwei, and the Mao family can also be regarded as his grandfather and uncle. In order to avoid suspicion, although he was not sent to Fujian, he had to sell him a little face, I heard that the Hou family and several masters did not suffer much, and they ate and drank well along the way, and let the people who served him. It's just that as soon as he arrived in the capital, he was imprisoned, and the Mao family was not allowed to visit, and the saint did not let people interrogate. When your cousin-in-law was on duty in the palace, he inquired about this matter, but when he heard about it, the saint seemed to have forgotten. didn't mention it, but when the twelve princes entered the palace to talk about the impostor's family, the saint beat the henchmen around the twelve princes half to death, and the people were carried out. I don't know what the Holy Lord wants to do with the impostor. If something happens to the impostor family, the Dong family will be more or less implicated, alas. ”
Xuanji is the daughter-in-law of the Dong family, and the Dong family and the Mao family are in-laws. If something really happens to one family, it is not easy to clear up the relationship. Xuanji has been holding back this matter for a long time, and she can't mention it to others, today Linglong asked, she also wanted to find someone to talk to, so she said so much in one breath.
Linglong asked: "The eldest brother-in-law is Jin Wuwei's, and he often works as an errand in the palace, so he wants to know why the impostor was arrested." ”
Xuanji shook her head: "It's just that I don't know why people are anxious, and I don't know where to start if I want to remedy it." The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the saint and the queen also rewarded the moon cakes and osmanthus wine, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Mao went to the palace to thank them, and met the old lady of the Mao family and Mrs. Shizi, it is said that the queen also asked Mrs. Shizi's new little daughter, saying that she should let her take a look next time. But in the evening, the saint suddenly issued an order to let Jinyiwei immediately go to Fujian to get people, alas, when the cousin got the news, he thought he had heard it wrong. ”
The cousin mentioned by Xuanji is Dong Qin, the son of the Marquis of Linjiang, Dong Qin's character is clear, he is Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, and Xuanji's husband Dong Lian is a cousin in the same room. Dong Lian's errand in Jin Wuwei was also stained with Dong Guanqing's light.
Linglong knew that Xuanji was worried, and didn't want to continue, so she changed the topic with a smile: "If something happens at home, how can Mrs. Zuo still have the leisure to chat, I don't believe it." ”
Xuanji smiled and said: "You ghost elf, I really let you guess, the third sister-in-law had a miscarriage, yesterday my mother-in-law asked me to visit the Hou Mansion for her, and when I gossiped with Mrs. Zuo, Mrs. Zuo asked about our family's affairs in Jiangsu, and asked: I heard that the big families in Jiangnan are different from our north, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land in the north at every turn, but there are mainly shops and workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, but this is the case?" I replied that there are very few paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, and one acre of land over there can buy two or three acres in the north, and five or six hundred acres of land is already a lot, and the Jin family does not have many fields in the south of the Yangtze River, but has placed a lot of fields in the north, and weaving is still the main thing in the south of the Yangtze River.
Mrs. Zuo said that she had two mulberry gardens over there, and there was no special person to take care of them over the years, so it was better to sell them. It was also me who talked a lot, so I said that Jiangnan is rich in silk weaving, and taking care of the mulberry garden is also an income, so Mrs. Zuo asked me to introduce it to the old lady, and I agreed. But I didn't expect that I hadn't had time to talk to the old lady about it, and today Mrs. Zuo asked someone to find me, so I came over. “
